1/26 Soda is open for business. Sorry for the huge inconvenience.
-- minghay
\_ You rock. Thanks minghay!
\_ Just so that everyone knows, logins are working, but websites
are still down. We hope to have the websites back up and running
within the week.

01/25 More bad stuff, and more downtime. Also, notionally good stuff
that might be inconvenient in the short term. Apache will be back
soon, and /csua will similarly be repopulated soon. Meanwhile,
feel free to mail root@ with stuff that's missing and we'll look
into it. For a longer discussion, including information about
changes to email, see /csua/soda-changes.2007.01 |

1/26 Test 123 123. Yay it works. Time to move all the files out.
Time to move out for good. Good bye soda. You've been good to
me for the past 15 years.
\_ Same here. You've been good to me for about 11.5 years and not
so good for 1 year.
\_ Just curious... how much did you pay for the service? I got
the alum special rate.
\_ Not everyone on here is a freeloader.
\_ You're right. The people who got jobs through me *only*
because of soda being here, my technical postings and
past hardware donations have no value. I've still paid
nothing for the service. What have *you* done for soda?
\_ I've donated $$$.
\_ So? This is a community and a community service.
Your $50 doesn't entitle you to a whole lot of
service. Go talk to any hosting provider and see
what they'll charge you for a lot less than soda
provides.
\_ I think you missed the point here. I said
"Not everyone on here is a freeloader." The
implication was that the "alumni special
rate" is free. For many of us, the "alumni
special rate" was not free, whether it be
in dollars, time, or whathaveyou.
\_ The 'price' paid by almost every soda user is
near zero over time. I've had a soda account
for 18 years. In that time I've helped with
hardware donations (a long time ago), got at
least 1 person a job they still have 2-3 years
later, and provided technical advice several
times. During that time soda has been down a
few times for a total of a few months. Big
deal. The alumni special rate is "I help you
when I can, you do your job to keep the host
up so I can be here". It's a fair trade. The
moment the box goes down it hurts the ugrads
more than it hurts the alumni. Unless you're
one of the itty bitty tiny number of people
who has been physically there helping to
rebuild soda and carefully guiding the org
through these dark and woeful times </sarcasm>
you have little to bitch about.
\_ I would argue that the one year of 'badness' is due to VP
hozage. To misquote Lennon: All we are saying is give
darch a chance.
\_ Uh, didnt "we" give him +3 weeks?
As to the freeloading comments: there are plenty of people
here to have already "served." I think they are entitled
to comment. And the comments about they are not being
paid is silly. If you volunteer, you are on the hook.
Nobody is forcing you to volunteer, but if you accept the
job, you shouldn't be a flake. Additionally, some of
the people in charge now are fools, like putting up a
message like "W00T" when the web server came back rather
than something informative.
\_ 3+ weeks? Have you ever stepped into someone else's mess
and had to clean it up? 3 weeks is nothing. I agree that
more information would have been good though. I didn't
even know anyone was working on it and assumed it was not
coming back.
\_ Not to mention that these were 3 weeks, DURING THE
HOLIDAY, alone, while entirely refactoring the machine
room, fixing someone else's mess, and dealing with the
department -- also on holiday (and you know how gov't
institutions run...). Many all-nighters were pulled.
Respect darch's authori-tay! --michener

\_ What did you expect? This is business as usual
stuff.
\_ Commander-In-Chief Hillary Rodham Clinton. Kind of has a nice ring to it.
\_ The first thing she'd do is send troops somewhere to show everyone
she can be "as tough as any man, no wait, tougher! I'll send twice
as many!"

1/26 Pine maildir patch, or root cookie. Prefer former. --linxu
\_ Use mutt. ;) Oh, alright.. it looks like the pine that's
installed already has the patch. Is there something it's
failing to do? -- darch
\_ Handle maildir by default? At least some people will
need instructions on how to use pine on new-soda.
\_ Yes. Please help.
\_ Added instructions to /csua/soda-changes.2007.01. Short
version: Set inbox-path to "/var/mail/$USER". -- darch
\_ Update: In light of the fact that there exist users who
don't read motd, /etc/pine.conf has been changed to make
this work for everyone. |

1/26 Trying to connect to port 993 using SSL, in Thunderbird with no luck.
\_ I can replicate this, but will have to tcpdump to figure out what
the actual problem is. Try <DEAD>mail.csua.berkeley.edu<DEAD> (which hostname
I'll have to gen a cert for at some point). -- darch
\_ other than the cert not being in my CA list, SSL IMAP
on mail.csua seems to work. Yay! Good job, darch!
\_ what do you use for your imap path? I haven't been able
to get file in my /var/spool/mail/{user} directory show up? |
