Looking for work
by Steve Harvey 12 Nov '15

12 Nov '15

Sorry if this is a bit off topic... Does anyone have, or know of someone who has some spare work that they can throw my way? The sooner the better. I'm in particular looking for Python work but will also do BASH, C, some Linux sys-admin, VPNs, even Perl or Java. I have been trying to get up to speed with JavaScript and Django, but I just don't have enough time to build much in the way of a portfolio. http://www.sghcs.ca/ Please contact me off-list. Thank you.

Links from yesterday
by Alex Volkov 11 Nov '15

Hello everyone, Here's the links from my yesterday talk/rant/open-ended question thingy. Error message gmail gives you when you try to use IPv6 with no proper PTR records -- https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126?p=ipv6_authentication_error&rd… Instructions on setting up reverse DNS with NSD, which in my case is not relevant because I don't control the IP block and my ISP needs to do that for me -- https://www.sixxs.net/wiki/NSD#Zone_configuration Subnet calculator that also works with IPv6, and will definitely will help you to keep your sanity in case you also need to work with IPv6 -- http://www.gestioip.net/cgi-bin/subnet_calculator.cgi Myles sent me a link on how to configure PTR using Linode manager, which basically answers the question -- https://www.linode.com/docs/networking/dns/setting-reverse-dns Debian Administrator's Handbook -- https://debian-handbook.info/ Also to answer Scott's question if the book has a section on mail server, indeed it does. I assumed the book would go over Exim setup, as it is the default mail server in Debian, but apparently Postfix is documented instead -- https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/network-services.html#sect.smtp-… Thanks, Alex.
