Don't You People Have Homes To Go To?!

This is the bandwidth utilisation graph for the munuserver.
That big spike is me running the offsite backups.
But see where the traffic suddenly jumps and stays high for hours on end? That's one person with a Roadrunner account, a Perl script, and too much free time, just causing trouble for the sake of it.
Welcome to my reject list, moron.

Spam Fighting Help!!
I've spent most of this evening deleting porn spam from my blog. Didn't come from just one IP, but it all promoted the same site, and most of the IPs were registered through the same company in the Netherlands.
I am Blacklist ignorant -- so much so that I don't even know how to get into it. What do I need to do to get rid of the porn spam?

When you get the email notifying you of a new comment or trackback, there's a link on it that says "De-spam your blog with MT Blacklist".
Click on the link and follow the instructions.
Then, when you are in MT Blacklist, you can use the Despam function to remove existing spam.
Or just go here.

I don't always get that message, Pixy. I finally bookmarked the link.
I have been fighting spam all night here. I think they finally let up, but what I don't get is, does it take a day or so for MT Blacklist to work? I put in the key word only and it hasn't prevented it.

It should start blocking spam the moment you add something to the blacklist. You have to make sure you add the right something, though.
Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at October 19, 2005 07:19 AM

Um, and you really can't ban the word "fucking", because even though it's not appropriate for your blog, it takes effect across all of munu.
The best thing to blacklist is the domain name. So if the site is stupid.spammer.com, blacklist spammer.com.

Commenting Problem
I and many of my readers have been unable to comment. We keep getting an error message:
"Build error in template 'Comment Preview Template': Error in tag: Can't find included template module 'Remember Me' "
This has happened before, but beginning yesterday it has become the norm.
Help.

Did Blacklist go Tango Uniform?
Pixy, Blacklist seems to have fallen over. I don't seem to be able to get it to actually do anything when I try to get it to search.
Even if I just ask it to list the last
n posts, it returns a response saying no comments/pings were found to match the criteria. It insists it can't find anything by simple text string either.

I emailed Paul with the answer, but it's worth posting here.
When you ask MT Blacklist for the last 100 comments, it goes and fetches the last 100 comments for the entire system, and then selects the ones you have access to. For me, that's all of them (or should be, so that I can de-spam things properly). For most of you, it will be your blog, Munuviana, Ellis Island, and maybe one or two others.
So you might tell it to give you all of the last 100 comments and end up with nothing. Don't worry, just tell it to give you the last 1000 or 5000 or whatever until you find what you were after.

Referrer Spam
Referrer spam has recently become a huge problem for blogs. Not only does it clog up your referrer lists, but it puts a significant load on the server and has increased our bandwidth usage by something like 50%.
Later today I'll be installing referrer filters right across mu.nu. I've been filtering Ambient Irony for the past few days without any problems. Now, it might happen that someone might not be able to follow a link from an oddly named web site to your blog. If you hear of this happening, it's the filters. Let me know what the linking site is, and I can adjust the filters to fix that.
You (and your readers) will always be able to access your blogs from a bookmark or by typing the URL straight into the browser; this only affects links from other sites.

http://everydaystranger.mu.nu/index.rdf is the feed I've been using for a long time. For some reason though, it doesn't show up as auto-discoverable on your site. I guess when you got re-skinned, it didn't get included in your new templates?

Add this string of code to your main index template, just below the similar line that refers to your CSS file. (it's just after the <title>Everyday Stranger</title>

line:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://munuviana.mu.nu/index.rdf" />
That will make your feed auto-discoverable. You can also put a link in your sidebar to that same address (http://everydaystranger.mu.nu/index.rdf) to alert folks that it's available, and for those who don't know/use autodiscovery readers.

Sorry 'bout the confusion.

Flash and Moveable Type?
Did a quick google for flash and MT with no luck and I am to lazy to keep digging. I am hoping that someone else has already checked this out. Is it possible? Can it be done?
The reason I ask is for a countdown clock. The ones I have found in java are kinda lame, but I think I can scam a really good one that is in flash.
If no one has any idea, I will have to get off my lazy bumm and do more googling!!!

Many thanks, everyone!
I just wanted to pop in and share my appreciation for the enthusiastic welcome you folks gave me over at Ellis Island. It would have been plenty good enough that Pixy is just even doing this for people, but on top of that y'all made me feel quite welcome.
Thanks again, everyone! Now, all I have to do is figure out how to use Movable Type...

Spam, sausage, bacon and spam
So, in an effort to avoid blogging I've been despamming Munuviana. I finally got that pesky keno trackback that's been bugging me---yay! I also seached the last 50,000 comments and found dozens of spam comments to delete. I tried to seach the last 99,999 comments, but it timed out....
Anyone know how many comments we have in all of munu? Just curious, really...
UPDATE: Found 5 more running 60k.....
Another Update: found 5 more at 70k!
Oops!!! accidently deleted one of Pixy's comments. Guess I got carried away...Sorry, oh Great and Powerful Lord of Munu! Anyway, I timed out again at 80,000 comments, so I guess I'm done anyway. But it was fun while it lasted!

There are over 400,000 comments in the system. MT Blacklist can scan a couple of thousand comments per minute. (Which is appallingly slow - but then we have thousands of blacklist entries...) Because it produces no output while scanning, and because the web server times out and kills it if something takes more than a couple of minutes to produce output, I can't scan more than the last 3,000 comments or so.
You can, because when I do it it runs across all the blogs, but for you it only searches the ones you have access to. So when it searches 60,000 comments it actually skips most of them.
I set up a seperate de-spamming user to focus on one blog at a time, but it's too much trouble to do much with it.

Dude! 400K???? I wonder how many of those are actually spam?
Posted by: Susie @ at October 15, 2005 05:04 PM

Not a lot. A couple of percent, I think. Most of the spam gets whacked sooner or later.
Check the post number on this entry: 126,285. You guys have been busy over the past couple of years.
If you printed out the full text of the munu blogs (post and comments), it would run to about fifty times the length of The Lord of the Rings.

Mail System Updated
I've updated the email system on the munuserver to a new version. It seems to have worked, with the possible exception of some incorrectly encoded binary attachments (which were probably viruses anyway).
If you use munu for your email and run into any problems, leave a comment here.

Thunderbird certainly seems to, very suddenly, think that you do. This started yesterday evening, which would be when you were updating things.
Also, all of a sudden one of my mailman lists is bouncing messages?
Posted by: Eric @ at October 15, 2005 05:48 AM

Hmm.
I'm going to have to do a bit of testing. Certainly, I never bought a certificate for the server; the POP server might have been set up with a default certificate which you had to accept initially, and I should be able to re-generate that (or something).
As for your mailman list - that's very odd. Could you forward the informative part of a couple of the bounces to me?
There was a potential security hole in the way POP and IMAP were set up by CPanel, hence the conversion, but that should have no effect on Mailman.
Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at October 15, 2005 12:08 PM

Pixy, the problem is IMAP, not POP. It has what appears to be a self-signed cert.
Posted by: Eric @ at October 15, 2005 03:58 PM

Right.
Hmm.
Can you access it if you turn off SSL/TLS?
I'll see if there are any notes about this.

Okay, other people have reported the same issue with mailing lists, and apparently there is a fix, which I'm applying now.
Fingers crossed!

Pixy, I could always access the IMAP server, I just had to accept the expired cert. Naturally, when I turn off TLS/SSL authentication I no longer get the error message about the expired cert.
Posted by: Eric @ at October 15, 2005 05:40 PM
11
Okey dokey, that just means I need to find out why it lost its certificate.
I've applied the patch, so could you see if your mailing list is behaving itself now?
Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at October 15, 2005 05:47 PM
12
yay! All is well with mailman!
I said that wrong on the IMAP server. I never got an expired cert error before. Even when I did start getting the expired cert error, I could always get into IMAP using secure communication. I think you just need to regen the self-signed cert.

I don't know if this has got anything to do with it, but I just got back from holidays (great, thanks for asking) and found Neomail had disappeared. Is this a permanent state of affairs?
Posted by: Simon @ at October 16, 2005 09:52 AM

Erm. I don't think it's related. It was probably an automatic update of CPanel that did that without notifying me.
I'll look into it.
Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at October 16, 2005 01:27 PM

Even stranger now - I used Horde instead today but now I can't get into that, either.
BTW, if Neomail's gone, have I lost my address book as well?
Posted by: Simon @ at October 16, 2005 03:11 PM

Okay, Neomail is still supposed to be intalled and active, but isn't working. I need to investigate some more.
What happens when you try to get into Horde?
Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at October 16, 2005 03:22 PM

Ugh.
I've confirmed that the upgrade disables Neomail. Of course, they don't mention that fact beforehand.
Looking for a solution now.
Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at October 16, 2005 03:25 PM

Your address book should be recoverable in any case. It's disabled the application, but all the data is still there.

Did I mention that it appears, now, that IMAP is no longer supporting TLS/SSL?
Posted by: Eric @ at October 16, 2005 09:29 PM

Well naturally enough Horde is working this morning. I'm happy enough to use Horde but how do I recover my address book?
Posted by: Simon @ at October 17, 2005 02:00 AM

I'll dig it out for you.
Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at October 17, 2005 02:27 AM

I think with the new version I have to configure TLS manually. Which I will do. Very soon.

MuNu blog in running for Best Canadian Blog
A MuNU blog, yours truly, is in the running for the Best Canadian Blog!
Angry in the Great White North
But despite a weeklong lead, I've slipped to second place, only a couple of votes behind a surging Bound by Gravity (not a Munuvianan!). If you would like to see a MuNu blog win this inaugural award, I invite you to visit my blog, and place your vote using menu on the left side panel.
Thank you for your support. Cheers!

It sounds unlikely to me, but....
A question for any of the Munuvian Computer Literati--is there such a thing as a "cookie grabber"? i.e. a website that can read your cookies for a different website and use them against you? It sounds like an Urban Legend to me, but I haven't been able to track down any confirmation or disputing info.
So, say that I went shopping at JCPenney.com. (Assume for this exercise that I were silly enough to be using IE). Could they "grab" the cookies that, say, Amazon.com sets, and somehow magically deduce my password and order the complete works of Conway Twitty boxed set using my identity?
Thanks for putting up with me!

If it's Sauron, he's not doing much of a job. It seems to be working fine right now.
Now, it *could* be that we were getting a spam flood right then and comments got switched off at a bad moment. They get switched on again after a minute, so the best thing to do is wait for a little while and try again.
When we get spammed, we can get up to 200 comments and the same time, and that kills the server pretty thoroughly, so I've set up a system that catches that and shuts off commenting. It's not perfect, because the spammers can send as many as 30 comments a second just to munu, but it's a lot better than nothing.

Hullo
Hello, fellow Munuvians!
(all together now, just like we learned in our 12 step programs, "Hi Vinnie!")
Pixy? Might I trouble you for a login and password to Cpanel?
You see, the Pulitzer Committee simply will not consider me unless my entire body of work is displayed, and my export file is simply to big to upload into MT itself.
Don't make me get the mice....

Questions about CU
I am working on a post for a Texas PreGame Summary. This Saturday we play Colorado. I am unable to find the following information on their athletic website and my husband has no idea either. Can anyone help?
Who is Colorado's main rival?
Do they have any players receiving National Recognition for their skills? If not, who is their top player?
Do they have any unique traditions, besides Raphie?
Any help would be appreciated!

Their biggest rival is Colorado State. Another big rival is Nebraska.
I haven't watched enough of their games recently to tell you who their good players are.
Every year they play CSU in a huge game in Mile High/Invesco Field in Denver.
Other than that, sorry. My hubby is a sorta CU fan, when they're not playing USC, that is
I like Ralphie, though.

Happy Thanksgiving from Canada
Oct. 9 - I just want to wish all Munus a Happy Thanksgiving, Canadian style. (I know it's way early for Americans and cause for bemusement by Australians who are approaching summer .. but hey! Things may be upside down and a trifle early here in the Great White North but good wishes are never too soon or too late, right?)
I am grateful, for one thing, that the ever vigilant Pixy and Fluffy stopped the source of the spam that attacked us while we in the Great White North were in the midst of the holiday weekend.
Most of all I'm grateful (and now I'm really serious) for all you Munu foks whom I have come to think of as my family. I suck at leaving comments, but I do read Munu blogs and it really helps me cheer and laugh and, yes, keep going.
Bless you all, and here's toasting to winter and/or spring and, most of all, we must raise a toast ...
To the future! Because there is one. (And never, ever, doubt that.)

Your blog looks fine to me. I bet it's the character encoding or font in your browser.

I don't understand-it does look fine now, but was wonky for the morning. And it was a regular post, no Swedish characters.
Huh.
Gremlins?

Breaking the Laws of Physics
I awoke this morning to a breakfast of scrambled eggs and SPAM, except I didn't have any eggs just SPAM. It wasn't all that bad just six or seven trackback SPAMs but I noticed something interesting.
My general spam policy is that any time I have to go into a post and remove any form of SPAM, I close the comments and turn off trackbacks while I'm there. SPAM me once, shame on you. Spam me twice Shame on me. As I was going through today's SPAM I noticed that all of the effected posts already had trackbacks turned off!
Is this some magic trick of Fluffy's? Or have spammers found a way to trackback to posts where trackbacks have been turned off? If they have, we have a serious problem.
