Random Talk: How to Fight SPAM

Who would thought that the world's largest communication (Internet) today would filled up with so many screw information known as spam? Back in the early days, we are all just sending mail to talk each other directly with plain mailx or biff command. All are trusted even some may play pranks on others, but it can be handle with social manner. Well, thanks to the mob of ignorant people that using the unsecure OSes, many finds sending these bulks are a great deal which making the old days over. Btw, there are four terms that describe different kind of messages delivered: HAM. Ham means a valid (legitimate) email message and pass the scan. SPAM. Spam is the bulk we want to throw to the waste. False Positive. False Positive is a valid (legitimate) message that being marked as spam. False Negative. False negative is a spam that get away and went thought our email successfully. There are ways to fight SPAM: Bayesian . This is the oldest method, to see relevancy between messages and c...

WTF?

Gw baru sempet blogwalking dan gw baca: http://cynchanz.blogspot.com/2008/10/ada-yang-ngajak-perang.html --- DELETED VERSI NGAMUK --- EDITAN VERSI TENANG: Yang pasti, gw seperti Adji berterima kasih kepada Angkatan 2000. Mabim 2002 memberikan sebuah nilai tentang rekonsiliasi dan penerimaan perbedaan pandangan -- sesuatu yang bangsa ini perlukan. Ada sejarah panjang mengenai perjuangan pendewasaan pemikiran dan penghilangan diskriminasi. Anak itu tidak tahu mengenai perjuangan redefinisi PMB. Dulu PMB merupakan singkatan dari Penerimaan Mahasiswa Baru , tetapi diperjuangkan menjadi Penyambutan Mahasiswa Baru . Dulu jaket panda hanya boleh dimiliki oleh anak Fasilkom yang sudah lulus PMB (PSAU, Mabim, dan MK). Bahkan, yang berhak mengikuti lembaga-lembaga dan kepanitiaan adalah orang-orang yang lulus PMB. Seandainya itu terjadi, takkan ada DebConf I dan DebConf 2 serta acara-acara lainnya di mana ada orang-orang yang *sangat* berpotensi untuk itu. Anak itu tidak tahu bahwa angkatan di...

OpenOffice.org 3.x

Congrats to OOo developers on releasing OOo 3. The load time is drastically cut down and files from proprietary word processing can be opened with less hassle (font more consistent). Now I'm defaulting to OOo 3. (Before the default is IBM Lotus Symphony BETA2) Get it while hot: http://kambing.ui.edu/DLL/openoffice/stable/3.0.0/

Ada Udang Di Balik Peyek

Orang tertawa bukan berarti gak ada masalah. Pernahkah bertanya kepada orang yang ignorance, how far the person's being hurt? Have you ever hug an easy going person for the person emptiness? No wonder no one can enter the heart.

Well, today I want to talked about music. Been from Pondok Pujian and bought 4 CDs: Delirious?, BDA, Leeland, and a local band GMB. Yes, they are Christian bands because I want to balance earthly things with heavenly. These days I've been living in a stressful live and realise how far I could go down. (You plurkish evil....) XD Aside from the bad joke above, I plugged my ears to listen to Delirious? band. This band is my fave band of all. They play groovy music and I love it how Martin could use some words to encourage all the audience, well those hit me also. Btw, The CD+DVD combo is entitled Now is The Time, Live at // Willow Creek and have a nice atmosphere. But, compared with Hillsongs' United with Delirious?, the scenes don't stand out well. Still, I love how they bring the show, especially the text. One not thought, after I watched Delirious on DVD, I accidentally watched Sheila on 7 on TV (twas BRI Kasih, iirc). Their new song is very similar and I thought maybe She...

To Plurk Or Not To Plurk

Arrgh... the temptation is so high. No, I will not plurk. I will not.... I will... I... NO! Stop it! Stop it! Don't invite me, you plurkish demon! I shall not tempted nor fallen for the plurkish side. Help, resistence is going down rapidly. "Hehehe.. you said once you would not join Friendster, but you decided to join in 2005. Why await? Your plurk poin shall go up if you join now" STOP! STOP, you evil mind.... I shall not falter! "Resistence is futile! Wahahaha, there is a plurkish side on each of us and yours also...." NO! I think I have better things to do! "Embrace the plurkness..." NOOooo.... (to be continued in Empire Strikes Back)

Chattering Blah

Just been from M, H, and A apartment playing Troof alnite. It's fun to have my skill tested. The only thing that I regret, A and H have no strength to play. Fortunately, I have my young padawans as opponents, or I may say used to be padawans, they have become the dark knight. It's fun to fight them. They have the compatibility between them, so it's hard to fight them without consentration. OMG, gw ud racunin anak orang, what have I done?

Info on Kerjaan

Just for my sake of information, explicit content! Parental Advisory. Squid: Using COSS as filesystem, a big file effective for serial reading. Ext2 is way to go as underlying filesystem. Don't need a journalling system on cache. (http://www.freeproxies.org/blog/2007/10/03/squid-cache-disk-io-performance-enhancements/) Recompile to use tcmalloc, google's implementation of malloc. This would reduce cpu load. Actually, this is good for all. (http://dammit.lt/2006/12/06/google-perftools-tcmalloc-squid/) Using Squid3 implementation. Mail: Using ASSP instead of SpamAssasin. Or, we can use both. ASSP is per domain, SA is per user. Effective, maybe. Postfix vs. Exim4, many would recommend Exim4. But, I'm not so sure about that RHEL 3, Fedora 5, Redhat 9 have broken Perl. DNSRBL, SPF, DKIM apperantly have been implemented in ASSP, good for that. Yes, we still experimenting.

Series on My Watchlist

Yatta! Heroes aired again on NBC. The story is getting complex and more brutal. Hiro is my fave and always be. Peter is like, well, hmm.. the most advancing character, from a cry baby little bro to... I don't know anymore.... Of course, the poker face Noah, one of my fave (Hiro and Noah) is my fave. Gonna wait to the next ed. Macross Frontier getting to the final moment and I wish for the bitter end, not a pop end. Geez, Macross have a suck ending. But, don't worry, after BANDAI screw the plot of the early episodes just for creating new toy. Yeah, screw badly, I mean, those robot never even have the ability to fly in the first place. Just a generation then it could fly and alter several G of air pressure and have those fancy effect like Gundam. Anyway, Code Geass session 2 have good ending. Kamen Rider Kiva as usual comes with fancy stuff and not so well. Are the Japan film industries have fallen into Pop culture? I expect great sorrow from Kamen Rider, but just a few bling-bli...
