Re: [GTALUG] Specific question about mailing list management

Evan Leibovitch via talk wrote on 2018-07-25 12:30 AM:

Hi all.

This question is asked of anyone who administers a mailing list about 
policies. I'm setting up a campaign-based mailing system using phplist 
(as opposed to a forum-type MLM such as Mailman) and I'm interested to 
know what policies or best practices you might have in place to address 
this specific question:


When a list subscriber goes to a link to change their preferences or 
unsubscribe, from what email address does the confirmation (for changes) 
or "sorry to see you go" message (for unsubscriptions) originate.


Does such administrative email come from:
a) an identifiable member or the organization's staff?
b) a postmaster-type alias?
c) a do-not-reply address?

​Any feedback is appreciated.​


I use the email that has been sending the campaign in the first place. 
Most email clients priorities the name over the subject so I might not 
recognize postmas...@company.com or do-no-re...@exmaple.com, but I would 
recognize John Smith because they are have been sending me email about a 
widget.

Hi All,
The organization for whom I work presently has a shared hosting account 
with dreamhost.  Recently though they made a change that prevents me 
from accessing my work shell account with the combination of adaptive 
technology tools I must use.
so, I am seeking a new hosting that includes shell accounts with their 
offerings,  Dreamhost used Ubuntu, but I have done this with freebsd as 
well.

Ideas of where to start?


I'm a huge fan of Nearly Free Speech,

I was playing with an Amazon Fire 7 last weekend, it's a nice tablet in

The only drawbacks (which are big drawback IMHO) is it runs Amazon's 
Android and not Google's, I'm not sure how they are subsidizing the

2018! Coming up on February 18th from 2pm-7pm (or later). Bring your 
e-waste and dig through other people’s for treasures. On previous Junk 
Independence Days, people have walked away with an iPod touch, a 1TB 
hard drive, working classic iMacs, bubblejet printers, a Sony mini-DV 
camcorder, stereo amps, speakers, a desktop computer and even walk/don’t 
walk streetlights! Not to be forgotten, there are always lots of little 
chips and bytes for random hacking, too.


Anything left at the end will be picked up on Tuesday, 20th of February 
and responsibly recycled by Revolution Recycling, who has been 
participating in our Junk Independence Days since the first one. Thanks 
Revolution!!


Come hang out with some fellow hackers and search for hidden treasures! 
Tickets are not necessary but Eventbrite[0] is a great way to sign up

What does `pip3 --version` and `python3 -m pip show pip` show you?

As an example mine shows:

```
$ pip3 --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)

$ python3 -m pip show pip
Name: pip
Version: 9.0.1

Author: The pip developers
Author-email: python-virtual...@groups.google.com
License: MIT
Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages

```

I think pip for Python3 wasn't installed correctly. You might want to
try reinstalled pip,  with
python3.

Also it's generally best practice when replying to a thread in a mailing
list with a new topic to change the subject like I did above. It helps
the archiving of the mailing list so people can better browse.

Speaking largely from my experience with Node.js this doesn't work so
while in practice. It becomes a major headache for "pr developers"[0]
and users.

pr developers have to use libraries that they aren't 100% sure what the
current feature set is and known bugs are. This creates a bunch of patch
libraries, to back port existing features and bug fixes to the project
and then you have dependencies hell.

Users don't like it because it requires extra space to have multiple
version of the same library. Especially when it comes to minor version
releases. And it's getting quite common for people to run out of disk
space again (the average laptop SSD is ~500GB and photos, videos, games,
and even applications have gotten a lot large in the past five years).

The only place this type of system works is in monolithic repos where
the entire source is under one umbrella, ala Facebook and Google (and
maybe Mozilla).[1][2][3]

Resource usage in web browsers depend on a given web site. The greatest
example is The Verge[0] a technology blog that requires 274 HTTP
requests and 3.0 MB of data[1]. According to the Firefox extension Tab
Data[2] on first load that take ~30MB of RAM and comes down to ~17MB
after all the requests get processed. Interesting side note this
article[3] can use anywhere from 40MB to 100MB of RAM.

Browser developers build better optimized browsers while web developers
make heavy web pages which use up all the resources (usually with ads).

Extensions also take out a lot of memory as while, checkout about:memory.

Though your question is warranted, it's not really appropriate as it
will result a bunch of questions from the speaker (i.e. what web sites
are you visiting, how many extensions are you using, what's your
internet connection, etc).

It's a little to flakey right now to be used as my main browser and
Chrome and Firefox Developer Edition have all the dev tools I need to do
my job.

My favorite thing is Brave Payments[0] as a way of paying for good
content. Personally I see myself paying a percentage of $10 a week to
the websites I visit instead of for each individual website.

It's a pay structure like Spotify or Netflix but fairer for the content
creator. Spotify's payment system is setup in a way that your money
doesn't go to the artist you listen to but it a huge pot which is split
out to all the artists. This gives popular artists a large share of the
profits and hurts the smaller acts. Netflix is worse but that because of
the film industry as a whole.

It seems that content creators want to go the HBO and Disney route where
you pay for every website you visit, which is a little crazy IMHO.

Hopefully Brave will come out with a plugin for all the major browsers
to use their payment system across all platforms and the content
creators can advertise it as a way of supporting their sites. But I'm an
obvious cloud-in-the-sky Hipster.

Senseless junk has been replaced by Sales people who use auto-follow-up

awesome if I could stop those. But they seem to be using the Sales

Sometimes people don't have access to configure Reverse DNS (or PTR) as
they are sending with a dynamic IP address. This isn't common but at
least for GTALUG there are five or six people who host their email from
their home on dynamic IP addresses.

+1 for having an IM based communication area for GTALUG. There are so many

that alone would be a great help.

0 for Telegram. I'm not a fan of the "security" aspect of it and would
rather if GTALUG used a more open system like Riot.im. But I would go to

Farms a 150+ year old double brick house and it reaches first and second
floors and ~20 feet into the orchard out back.

I helped a friends this weekend who wanted access on all four floors of
there house. They had a access point on the second floor and it wasn't
reaching the basement or the bottom floor.

We ended up running an ethernet able from the basement to the top floor
and having two access points. It provided the best options.

Also getting high bandwidth stuff (i.e. video streaming, gaming
desktops, etc) off the Wifi gave the low bandwidth stuff (i.e. laptops,
tablets, music streaming, etc) better access.

I'm a fan of the TP-Link TL-WR940N, so much that I have recommend it to
everyone I know. I have three of them in various locations (home, farm,
and HackLab.TO).

It's base software is amazing and works great out of the box.

I haven't run OpenWRT (an active fork of dd-wrt) on it but I know Scott
Sullivan has and he's really smart about this type of stuff.

It cost $39.99 on NewEgg  (this is a short link to
the NewEgg website).

I use to follow the [My First 10 Minutes On A Server][0], but found it
too annoying to follow a "checklist" so I converted it to [an Ansible
playbook][1].

I now use dev-sec's [Hardening Framework][2] as it does everything I want.

I find this stuff extremely boring so automating the work is a big +1 for me.

For firewall, I use UFW as it's while documented and easy to use.

It depends on who the registrar is, but I have been able to do it by

[GTALUG] Upcoming Meeting (was Meeting on 11 April at 7:30pm)

[Myles Braithwaite via talk]

11 April - A Bit More Than Mostly Searchable: Scanned Paper You Can Find
   with Stewart Russell

Building on a GTALUG Lightning Talk from 2015, Stewart goes over what
you'll need to turn messy piles of paper into a (mostly) organized
archive of compact searchable electronic files.



9 May - Lessons learnt as a maintainer
with Dhaval Giani

I have been an upstream maintainer of libcgroup. As a maintainer, I have
had varied experiences which have taught me important lessons. This talk
goes over some anecdotes, and hopefully they provide some humour and
some lessons.



13 June - Intelligent Availability; The evolution of High Availability
  with Madison Kelly

Madison will discuss the tenants of and concepts behind “Intelligent
Availability” and how it provides “next gen” availability. The “Anvil!”
platform is the first full IA platform, combining a fully redundant
architecture along with the 100% open source Striker UI and ScanCore
“decision engine”. A live demonstration of this platform will be used to
show IA in action. Various faults will be induced, showing how the
Anvil! autonomously reacts to mitigate these changing risks.

Attendees will be learn how to apply these IA techniques and concepts,
allowing them to make their own IT environments more resilient.

Have an awesome day, and happy open-sourcing :-).

When I have to do a similar process (moving a WordPress site from
staging to production), I use the plugin [WP Migrate DB][0]. The free
version does exactly what it says.

If you don't want to use that plugin. How is your data stored in the
MySQL database? My assumption is it's a bunch of tables with different
prefixes (i.e. site1_posts, site2_posts, etc). You can use these two
commands:

$ mysql -N information_schema -e "select table_name from tables where
table_schema = 'change-me-to-database-name' and table_name like
'site1_%'" > site1_tables.txt

$ mysqldump change-me-to-database-name `cat site`_tables.txt` >
site1_dump.sql

Mailman (actually the underlying Python email library) converts emails
to base64 if whose character set is UTF-8 on English lists (it is
avoiding creating messages containing characters with high order bit set
as not all METs support 8BITMIME SMTP (Yahoo and Outlook.com)).

If we were to remove the `msg_footer`, that three line footer we have on
every email, then Mailman would just forward as is.

Just another example of why email lists suck in 2017.

I think what you are asking could be accomplished with:

Rename the current origin remote to old-origin:

$ git remote rename origin old-origin

Create a new origin:

$ git remote add origin git@gitloite-server:repo.git

Push to the new repo and set as upstream:

$ git push --set-upstream origin master

According to this article (published in 2014)[0], Chromium still phones home.

Now it’s phoning home is limited to kind of important stuff making
sure you are using the latest version of the browser, extensions
updates, and TLS certificate integrity checks. Mozilla, Opera, and IE

Yes you will notice a drop in download and upload speeds. This can't be
helped as every requests has to go though the VPN tunnel access their
Internet and come back down the tunnel to give you the response.

Also I have heard a Canadian ISP (cough Shaw cough) that like to
throttle P2P traffic in a effort to stop people using BitTorrent[0].
They consider VPN a P2P protocol for some crazy reason (do a Google
Search for "vpn throttle canada isp" and you will see what I mean).

Anyways, I have used it to circumvent certain annoying country blocks on
a video streaming site (cough Vevo cough) and haven't noticed that large
of streaming difficulty (video start time takes a couple seconds vs. a
couple milliseconds which doesn't really matter as long as I get to
watch the latest Beyoncé video before most Canadians).

For VPN I use [Private Internet Access][0] it has access points in ~20
countries (include multiple in Canada). They also provided amazing
documentation on how to setup in virtual every environment. There is
also TunnelBear[1] which is a Toronto based company and has limited
Linux support though OpenVPN[2].

As for PGP Email tutorials I would suggest the EFF's [Email Self
Defense][3] guide. It's the best.

Also if you are becoming a "tin foil hat" type you should checkout
Tails[4]. It's a Live Linux OS that aims to "preserving your privacy and
anonymity" on the Internet.

You should checkout [Markdown Here](http://markdown-here.com/), it let's
you write Markdown in the Thunderbird editor that get's converted
cleanly to HTML, that will actually look good on all clients (even the
Voldemort of email clients).

One really handy thing is it also supports GitHub style code blocks.

I am also a trrible typist and on top of it a horrible speller. There
was a great plugin for Thunderbird[0] but i hasn't been updated since
31. So now I just have the *Check spelling before sending* option
checked. It should be in Options -> Composition -> Spelling.

On a somewhat related note there are also some good command line

* thefuck[1] correct the previous command like `aptget install python`
to `apt-get install python`.

If you read to HackNews we are currently in the systemd apocalypse and
Linux's user base is shrinking every day and good ethical people are
moving to BSD to the warm embrace of init.

Without sarcasm, learning another system is always a good idea because
it gives you more insight on how others work. As an example I would have
never been able to understand how Google's open source Python code

You can see the unencrypted version here:
 :-).

I think this might be an issue with Yahoo mail. When I was testing the
GTALUG list with Yahoo and Outlook the source of the email was in
base64. Even the message you sent to me was transferred in base64
(here's a screenshot ).

I would love to understand why Yahoo and Outlook do that and can fix
that issue if anyone knowns.

You can use unoconv[0] (a universal office converter that works with
anything that LibreOffice or OpenOffice support) to convert them to a
pdf file. Then use ImageMagick[1] to convert them to png files.

Here is a quick script (that probably doesn't work so don't blame me if

Hopefully someone will find this interesting.

I solved **The Great Unsubscribe Event of 2016** by adding
ALLOW_FROM_IS_LIST = Yes the penguin's mm_cfg.py file. It's a new option
available in Mailman version 2.1.16 that doesn't require that annoying

# Toronto Homebrew Hosting Club on Thursday, 21st April at HackLab

<https://homebrewhosting.club/>

Are you building your own website? Setup and running your own
calendar/contacts server? Developing your own publishing web app?
Hosting a Gnu-based-social-network? Running your own Wiki? Hosting
your own email server? Did you buy a $35 VPS and looking to replace
Google Apps with your a self hosted solution? Or some other digital
magic-cloud service?

If so, we are a meetup of people in the Greater Toronto Area
passionate about self hosting, in the same structure as the [Homebrew
Computer Club][1] meetings in Silicon Valley (and the [Homebrew
Website Club][2]). It will be a gathering of like-minded people to
swap ideas, talk shop, and general awesomeness about hosting your own
infrastructure.

# Open Source Graphics Suite Panel

Join Stewart, Trent, and Myles in discussing their practical
experiences using a variety of open source graphics packages and
suites.

Bring your questions for our panelists!

## Panelists

Stewart Russell is a Linux user who should probably be kept away from
admin, dev and other sharp objects. He draws mostly geometric patterns
and enjoys unusual output devices such as pen plotters. He mostly
works in Inkscape, but also finds graphical uses for Gimp, Darktable,
QCAD, OpenSCAD, Processing, Perl, PostScript, Python, netpbm and —
when all else fails — ink and gouache.

Some of his work is here:
<https://www.flickr.com/photos/scruss/sets/72157666420609652/>

---

Trent Drake is a freelance artist, with two decades experience in
drawing anthropomorphic characters. A former qualitative data analyst,
he continues to branch out in game design, animation, cartooning. He
also directs and produces independent video productions for community
organizations and YouTube.

He works in Windows, using Inkscape, GIMP, and Blender.

* Pixel art gallery: <https://www.weasyl.com/submissions/hiker>

---

Myles Braithwaite is a web developer who sometimes has to designs user
interfaces. He accomplishes this by using Open Source design tools
like Inkscape for icons and wireframes, Dia for structure diagrams,
and GNUpaint for rough sketching. He enjoys manipulating SVG files and
manipulate them with Python and CSS (he was doing it before it was in
vogue). On the rare occasion he has to interact with dead trees he
uses Scribus to design page layouts.
