Coin, === Cleanup === For the people _rarely_ using Toushirou to compile stuff, this is now _over_. For historical reasons this machine supported such feature, but as it is not secure enough, and not useful enough for really building things (as you cannot install build dependencies), this has definitevely been shutdown. === Cheers === That's perhaps just strange eons, or just a dream i made, but it seems Toushirou has reached 42 days being up and without an Oops. So i guess that's a good reason to drink (even if not real) :-) ! === IRC Stumblings === Once upon a time, a lord, after having had a big party, or the like, dicided to rename its "Etch" castle in "Lenny" castle. Unfortunately, during his hard work modifying the residence in accordance to the new name, he overlooked a part of his domain. One of his men decided to lay down his own rules, banishing people generously for no good reason. Later, a neighbouring lord, seing all this mess crossing boundaries of his own land, decided to give a hand. Both, with great bravoure, restored peace and justice over the world ! Hum. This is to say... sorry for the so many disturbances while T1R IRC server was upgraded, and later when the other IRCd crashed while prepared the upcoming new IRC services. The good news, is that we are using improved IRC services now. Most news are polishing and bug fixes, but there also a new service (even if not really useful): MEMOSERV, for leaving offline messages. There is also a translation of services messages, but only in russian and bulgarian :-/, so if someone is willing to help... === Experimental Tool === Since a while there are several services available, but yet most of them cannot be set up by the user themself. For people having a shell account, there still is a delegating script to access the part of perso.duckcorp.org apache log related to their web space, and people may still read the logs of their personnal websites. Their was also another script to allow modifying their DNS master zone, but since Orfeo was back and not opened to user accounts, it was no more working. So, it has been a while something was missing. A new tool is being written to address part of the problem. It is currently totally experimental and doing almost nothing yet, but yet you could help us test it. You need to have a GPG key, have one of the MP admins signed it and registered into the service, to be able to use it (for obvious security reasons). Then you can write a _signed_ mail to "MilkyPond Administration Officer" <banya@milkypond.org>, and in the body use the following commands (one per line): - DNS INFO to get the list of DNS <zone>s you can manage (and probably more in the future) - DNS GET ZONE <zone> to get the DNS <zone> content - DNS SET ZONE <zone> @<i> to replace the current DNS <zone> content with the <i>st/nd/rd/th attachment (text/plain accepted only) As your zone content can be *secret*, then you can get the Banya key D0CCBBA55460719D515C11E6E770C685EF410567, signed by Arnau and me, and encrypt the mail with it. The mail should be RFC3156-compliant, and should not use the combined method described in chapter 6.2 of this RFC (not supported yet). The subject is purely informational, for you to identify the reply to the corresponding demand. Have FUN !!! -- Marc Dequènes (Duck)
