and no success with fixing my site

as those who have gone there may have noticed....

I'm ready to weep. Or maybe give up blogging I'm not sure which.

No Mercy

No quarter given till the return of our Jewish brother.

And where is the condemnation of the world?

Cpanel Woes

Hello all! Long time no see!

trying to return to blogging, and went into Cpanel to start fixing things up and when I logged into File Manager what did I see:

"[a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]"

and below it near the trash can:

Unable to change directory to /kei/home/nick/.trash! You do not seem to have access permissions! (System Error: Permission denied)

Sad! Did I break something?

Also, how much of a learning curve on Minx? I was considering Word Press instead of MT, but noticed Minx is rising into use. Can a neophyte pick it up pretty easy?

Comments Upfucked

Whenever anyone tries to comment, this comes up:

Invalid [] range "u-f" in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/(babes|porn|boobs)[\w\-_.]

I see this is happening on other MuNu blogs. Any news???

It makes me look like a pervert to those who don't comment at other MuNu blogs!

Comments Upfucked, Still

I'm with Stevie. I have lawyers and guns, someone else will have to bring money if that's required. This is getting old. Is it still that fuckhead in Turkey?

Help, I'm Drowning in Spam! (Updated)

I got back to inspect my emails for comments and found that I have about 1300 new comments, nearly all of which are spam! This brings up a few questions:

1. Is there a quick way to list all of the comments submitted, say, in the past month and then delete those determined to be spam? I noticed that there are a large number from one spammer, so can I add that email to a banned list?

2. How do I shut off comments, until I can figure out what to do about this? I've gone into the blog configuration menu and changed the "allow comments default" to "closed." Will that do it for my old posts as well as my new ones, or do I need to do something else?

3. What to do? Is there a way I can allow users to comment by having them use Typekey or go through some other sign in process? I guess Kansas doesn't live here anymore...

Update: Michele, could you email me [demosophia-at-gmail-dot-come]? I can't seem to find your address on your blog. Also, I can't seem to add a comment to this post. I get that same "up-phuqued" error message.

Foruming With Minx

So, I hear you cry, how do forums work in Minx?

I'm glad you asked!

Forums are blogs. Blogs are forums. (And also Wikis, but we'll come back to that later.)

To view your blog as a forum, all you need to do is add a couple of new templates. For Munuviana, these are:

mxForum

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html><head>
<title>Minx/MT: Dynamic Pages for Movable Type</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://blog2.mu.nu/minx.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
[include banner]
<div id="center"><div class="content">
<h2>Munuviana Forum</h2><p>
<table>
<tr><th width=50%>Topics</th><th width=15%>Comments</th>
<th width=15%>Author</th><th width=20%>Posted</th></tr>
[posts:here template=Forum.Post]
</table>
[magic.pager]
[magic.stats]
</div></div>

<div id="right">
<div class="sidebar">
[include recent]
</div></div>
</div>

<div style="clear: both;"> </div>

</div>

</body></html>

mxForum.Post

<tr [if post.even]bgcolor="#f8f4e0"[/if]>
<td><a href="[post.url]">[post.title]</a></td>
<td align=center>[post.comments]</td>
<td>[post.authorlink]</td>
<td>[post.date]</td>
</tr>

And viola! Forums!

To really work like a forum, the posts need to be sorted by date of the last comment, rather than the date the post was entered. Minx can't do that yet (at least not with the MT database), but will.

One little note: the post.even flag is true if this post is even numbered, counting the posts on the page from 1 to N. Yes, there is a corresponding post.odd, and some other flags for breaking posts into groups of three or whatever.

Then, all you do is add the option form=forum to the URL to tell Minx to pick up the mxForum template instead of the default mxPost template, and you're done.

You can use the even/odd widgets to do a two-column blog like this, but it only really works if all your posts are the same length - or if you have a 100-word excerpt for the front page (which Minx can generate automatically, but I need to test that).

Whazzup?

With the Jawa situation?

My email inbox is curious.

If I don't find out by 1 pm U.S. CDT tomorrow, I swear I will get on a plane with my family, fly to Orlando, and spend the next 9 days there.

After replying to a bunch of emails with "heck if I know!"

Minxlets Mini Update

I've been busy with, well, stuff, but I'll be back to doing full-time Minxwork tomorrow.

But I do have something for you today: forums! Sort of.

Things Will Improve

Sorry about the mess lately. Between the attacks and the various hardware glitches and a couple of screwups on my part, munu hasn't been as stable as you deserve.

Fortunately, my personal chaos of the past week is nearly over, and we have a new server on the way to take over the Jawa Report. So we've downgraded from Chaos Level 5 to Chaos Level 4, and over the next couple of days we'll get back to Chaos Level 2, which is background radiation as far as my life runs these days.

Blah! Part 37

Both servers got rebooted. I don't know why. The shared drive didn't mount. I know why. Fixed.

Turkish Digital Anti Terror Team

I believe in coincidence but, given the recent DDoS attacks, I did find it odd and/or funny that I (and several other mail recipients at yahoo.ca) received an email from the "Turkish Digital Anti Terror Team." Their alleged email address is turkishdigitalantiterrorteam@fast.fm.

Anyone read Turkish? The sole content was the subject:

Hotbird uydusunu vuracak delikanli araniyor

Yeah, I know. It probably says they have amazing offers for low-cost watches/prescription drugs/penis enhancers/teen girl porno.

But if, by chance, they are selling halva at cut-rate prices I need to know now so I can order me some.

Splat, Again

Kei suddenly crashed. I got the techs to reboot it, and two minutes later it crashed again.

Rebooted again, and currently working, but disconnected from the net while I investigate.

Annika sez: i heard a rumor about a hacker threat?

Yes. It's a group of Turkish Islamist hacker-wannabe's going after The Jawa Report. They can't actually break in, so they've settled for a Distributed Denial of Service attack which takes us offline.

Unfortunately, the shared filesystem I built to keep us going in these situations decided to choose today to drop off its perch, so I wasn't able to bring everything back up on the other server. Right now, I'm copying everyone's files across, one blog at a time.

Which doesn't work for the Wordpress blogs, unfortunately. Which is why I never wanted to host a large number of Wordpress blogs. They're dead easy to set up, but it's a royal pain to manage them all.

Bah. Need chocolate.

Update: Okay, I think it's all fixed, except for The Jawa Report, which will be back as soon as the attack is over.

I have managed to separate things so that when an attack starts, we can just block it, and only The Jawa Report will go offline.

I finally worked out what was screwing everything up - the private network between the two servers went wonky. Now that that is fixed, we seem to be fine.
