pop3 email service provider
by zlinew9＠virginbroadband.com.au 21 Dec '16

21 Dec '16

Hi all, I am looking for an email service provider which offers pop3 to download email to a local machine. Mcmedia no longer providing this since they were bought by Bendigo telco I would also like this to be a constant email address that does not change every time I need to change ISP's. Privacy is also something of an issue and there seems to be some question on this issue with Gmail which I believe does allow the use of pop3. Lindsay BTW best wishs's to all.

OpenDKIM and Postfix configuration question
by Jason White 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

Postfix is configured on my server to use SASL authentication for messages submitted via port 587. OpenDKIM has been set up for both signing and verification. In /etc/opendkim.conf, InternalHosts refers to a file that lists various addresses, including the IPv6 range of my home network, as well as my domain name (".jasonjgw.net"). Consequently, messages submitted by hosts on my home network are signed by OpenDKIM. However, if, for example, I take a laptop to a different network and then attempt to send mail from it via port 587 on the server, it isn't signed, even though it has been authenticated with SASL in the Postfix session. Obviously, it doesn't match any of the addresses given in the InternalHosts file. Is there a way to configure OpenDKIM to sign messages from hosts that have SASL credentials, regardless of which network they're on?

New Device Suggestions
by Piers Rowan 10 Dec '16

10 Dec '16

My kids school are getting Toshiba Portege Z20t so I checked them out and they look interesting. Basically it is a laptop / tablet machine. The important criteria for me include: - Runs Linux WELL - laptop / tablet / touch screen - Long battery life - Fast / Responsive - As large a screen as possible I have never used a touch screen version of Linux. Can anyone recommend similar devices? Are their any pitfalls with touch screens (GNome vs Unity)? Thanks

Your search history at Google isn't available to your local government unless Google cooperates with them. If a Google search redirects you to a major news site like the New York Times it wouldn't reveal much if they used HTTPS, but they however choose not to do that and additionally have 77 cookies from different advertising sites, Facebook, Google, and others when you view one of their pages. https://panopticlick.eff.org/ If you view web sites with Tor then their ability to track you is greatly reduced. Tor with your regular browser can still be identified, visit the above site to discover how easily it can be done. Tor with torbrowser (package torbrowser-launcher in Debian, it works in Jessie but is broken in Unstable) is very hard to track. Tor with your regular browser is adequate to stop the basic snooping as described in the article you cited. https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ If you want to protect against very basic snooping while still getting good transfer speeds (Tor slows throughput and increases latency) then a VPN such as the above is a good option. They block SMTP (for obvious reasons) and would not be suitable for serious crimes such as wholesale drug dealing. But for using Bittorrent to download movies and to escape casual surveillance by your own government they are good. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

At the moment, I have no strong opinion one way or the other (but with a slight leaning towards "why? what's the point?"), but would like to know if there's any reason why I should have such an opinion. if the LUV lists and meetings continue as before and there's no risk of losing autonomy, just easing of the administrative overhead then I can't see any reason to object. craig -- craig sanders <cas(a)taz.net.au>

expanding Europe's Linux Presentation Day to Australia
by Hauke Laging 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Hello, in May 2015 Berlin's Linux user group (BeLUG) has started a new type of event which has spread quickly all over Europe: the Linux Presentation Day (LPD) 2015.1: Berlin only 2015.2: 72 cities in three countries 2016.1: 110 cities in 10 countries 2016.2: 150+ cities in 14 countries (on October, 22nd) I contact you because we intend to expand the LPD beyond Europe next year. The aim of the LPD towards the general public is to provide biannual and comprehensive information events about Linux for private users who would like to get a first impression of Linux. The aim towards the media is to make the event so big (both nationally and internationally) that the nationwide non-IT media cover it regularly. The aim towards the Linux community is that an LPD event can be so small and easy to organize (even without costs) that really everyone can try to organize an event with good chances of success. The local organizers decide on their own what their event shall be like; we just make suggestions and offer support. You can find a longer description of the concept here: http://www.linux-presentation-day.org/idea/ Are you as an organization interested in participating in the LPD? If not: Are any of your members interested in helping us bring the LPD to Australia? This event is very useful for finding new LUG members. Best regards, (Mr.) Hauke Laging -- http://www.linux-presentation-day.org/ International phone contact for the Linux Presentation Day: tel:+49-30-55579620 (13:00–23:00, German and English) XMPP (Chat with OTR): linux-presentation-day(a)jabber.ccc.de OTR: 91626899 1C06F2BD 75EC2441 35C696CE 38F75997

Virtualbox
by Russell Coker 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox Has anyone used Virtualbox? What's it like? It seems popular, osboxes.org seems to only have VMWare and Virtualbox image files. Apparently Qemu (and presumably KVM) support both those image types, is there any benefit of one over the other? My main aim at the moment is to get a Fedora VM going to see if they solved a bug I encountered in Debian/Unstable and if so copy their fix. One of the significant benefits of free software. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

Is there a good FOSS system for monitoring web performance? I've just seen a demo of Dynatrace which is impressive and it would be good if there was a free alternative. -- Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with K-9 Mail.
