Fixed URLs in WP posts

2013-05-25Posted by xaminmo

My WPMediawiki plugin was converting anchor tags into nested anchor tags, which was failing horribly.

Also, I installed a redirect plugin which should allow me to use the wiki markup tag with a subset and still get the right plage.

For instance, [[sprouts|Sprouts]] should redirect to http://omnitech.net/Sprouts-6224 about tasty toffee peanuts, and [[khai-ranks|Khai Ranks]] should link to http://omnitech.net/Khai-ranks , a page about Khai ranking up in Karate.

UPDATE 2018 – this is WAY broken and I have remove the WP MediaWiki plugin. Hopefully WP-Markdown will get me some of what I want.

Gallery Despammed

Just updated blacklists on http://gallery.omnitech.net and cleaned up some spam.

I haven’t really considered a major update though.

Optiplex 755

2013-02-28Posted by xaminmo

NS1 has been upgraded to an Optiplex 755 Core2-Duo 3GHz.
It has 5x SATA ports on the motherboard, but does not support Port Multipliers properly.
It sees the drives, but there are hangs, lags, etc all the time. 6MB/sec aggregate isn’t okay.

I didn’t want to use my PCI-32 SIL-3124, mostly for performance reasons.
I have a 1x SIL3132, and found the drive enclosure works fine on port 0, but LILO gives L 01 01 01 01 01 etc if I use port 1.
This is pulling 102MB/sec sequential from a 5-way mirror, and 124MB/sec from a 5-way RAID6.
Compare to the 3124 which topped out about 50MB/sec regardless of which slice I abused.

In theory I could just cable all of the drives up to individual ports, and the performance would likely be slightly better.
Unfortunately, I’d need to pull the optical drive, and install a 2-3 bay converter.
I didn’t want to spend MORE money, because if I did, I’d probably just start buying 2.5″ drives, or other things I didn’t need.

Anyway, I’ve bumped up to a 64-bit kernel, and may be swinging to a 64-bit OS if I feel particularly frisky.

My goal would be to install SDFS (open dedupe), mhVTL (Linux VTL, now with iSCSI support) and see how they’re doing vs 2007.

Omnitech News Service

2011-12-13Posted by xaminmo

According to a U.S. District Court Judge in Oregon, Honorable Marco A. Hernandez, `press`, in context of the First Amendment to the US Constitution, specifically means persons `affiliated with any newspaper, magazine, periodical, book, pamphlet, news service, wire service, news or feature syndicate, broadcast station or network, or cable television system.` Online journalism is now legally excluded unless affiliated with an entity of one or more of those types.

As such, be it known that all of my communication via any online forum is formally a media for communication to the public as an agent of the `OmniTech News Service`. This service will include fact, fiction, assumptions, satire, and any other form of communication deemed appropriate by the staff.

Broken domains

2009-12-02Posted by xaminmo

* uppercasepublishing.com has the wrong name servers and the owner never responded to requests to update this.
* greyhaven.net has the wrong name servers and the owner never responded to requests to update this. The prior owner was interested in having it rehosted at his other site should the current owner become reachable.

Expiring and code broken:
* bc93.org is expiring in 5 months. Everyone moved to Facebook. The PHPBB was broken. Lack of interest, the domain will be allowed to expire.
* realjosh.com will expire in 4 months. It is a redirect to webgravy.net now. The domain will be allowed to expire.
* ymsparents.com has broken code and had low interest. It was replaced by a default gallery install. It expires in 7 months. It’s fate is unknown but may be allowed to expire.
* webgravy.net serves no real purpose and will be allowed to expire in 2 months. Everything on it has been moved to omnitech.net.
