Today was spam fighting day – I made spamassassin more evil, and added sorbs lookup to postfix, so let’s see what else will those bastards do… There’ll be probably no more than 3-4 daily, which I’ll think about later (the biggest problem is with some russian spam, damn it).

I did a grep in the logs, today I received 474 mails (until now), of those 92 were identified as spam, and 382 were normal. I’ll do the same with tomorrow’s logs, to see what the result will be, with the improvements :)

Orkut definitely doesn’t sustain the load – I got ‘try again later’ or ‘service unavailable’ messages a lot today. There are about 150 000 members now, and that seems too much for them… (or their platform sucks, with that aspx, but because I don’t have enough data, I won’t talk bullshit :) )

My mom’s coming and the freeing of the couch helped me get to the conclusion, that I can use one of the boxes from the UPS to put my monitor on it, and it’s pretty comfy… There isn’t a lot of place for the mouse, but I don’t need it, that’s why I use one with ball – I can use the inertia (and everybody, who uses optical mouses – suffer, I don’t need to make my mouse resolution high as the sky to not need to move my whole arm).

In the end it’ll probably turn out that chervarium isn’t right about the encryption speed of asymmetric algorithms – the first experiment, with gpg on text and binary file gave some pleasant results – 4 seconds for 80MB (contents-i386 from debian), and aroung 52 seconds on 111MB .avi. I find it satisfying, although I’m not that sure that it doesn’t generate a symmetric key, encrypts it with the public key, and then encrypts all the rest with the symmetric key, but in the end that’s a good idea, too :)

One very amusing thing was setting up cyrillic support on the alpha machine – it’s a X server, and connects to doom to a gdm session. Experimenting in terminal with xmodmap and setxkbmap wasn’t what should be expected, I wasn’t on the right machine, so I played a bit more with the XF86Config file, and it worked finally :)

(and I’m thinking about going earlier to bed, to be able to get up fresh, not like this morning :) )
