My Development Machine = kFreeBSD

I’ve decided to officially start using Debian GNU/kFreeBSD as my development platform. Its stable enough and way too interesting to pass up.

Note - its where I run my development web application servers, not where I do my coding. I use jEdit on debian etch GNU / Linux machines.

Using sa-learn to Teach Spamassassin about the Difference Between Spam and Ham

Note to self, if you are looking to empty your spam mailbox, use this command to train spamassassin first:

sa-learn --spam -C /etc/mail/spamassassin --showdots --dir ~/.maildir/.Spam/cur/

and the new command I’m using:

sa-learn --spam -C /etc/mail/spamassassin --showdots --dir ./.maildir/.NuSpam/cur/

and for ham from time to time:
and the new command I’m using:

sa-learn --ham -C /etc/mail/spamassassin --showdots --dir ./.maildir/cur/

And maybe some help for the honeypot: spam.dropbox@savonix.com

Defending against Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE), also known as Spam - Page 3 - Spamassassin

And another command:

sa-learn --spam -C /etc/mail/spamassassin --showdots --dir /home/savonix.com/home/spamdropboxsavonixcom/.maildir/.NuSpam/cur/

Debian kFreeBSD i386 / AMD64




Today I installed Debian kFreeBSD AMD64 on an extra laptop. I’ve gotta say I’m really impressed with this project - its working well on the laptop, which has an nvidia graphics card.

I still get some weird errors - like this Iceweasel modal dialogue box which is displayed when I try launching it:

Debian Iceweasel kFreeBSD Error

Thankfully Galeon works, at least some of the time.

Ah yes - I’ve been trying to keep track of what I’ve installed, what works and what doesn’t:

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD

And…:

  gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 0792182443229C06
  gpg --export 0792182443229C06 -a | apt-key add -

Thanks diGriz

Flux CMS

I installed Flux CMS this morning - I’m very interested in it because it uses XSL. It works fine so far but I’d like to work on the admin interface a little bit.

UPDATE: After spending a few hours tinkering with the Flux Capacitor, I mean Flux CMS, I really like it. I do want to change a bunch of things though… I’d like to simplify it a lot. There is way more functionality in the subversion trunk than I’m interested in at the moment. I should fork it and start removing parts until its stops working, and then as I fix what I broke I’ll figure out how it works.
