5/1     Fuck it.
        RSS wall feed isn't down, so much as only serving out my little diatribe on
        the life and death of the hack.
        I got shit to do. Later.
        --michener
        \_ Bring it back.  This is *your* organization.  It should run *your*
           code.  If bitchy alums, myself included, have problem with it, fuck
           em!  If bitchy alums have a problem with google seeing it, tell
           them to get off their asses and write robots.txt file to fix the
           problem. -dans
           \_ root staff seems much more inclined to ignore than do anything.
              It's rather discouraging for alums to even bother trying to
              help when work making old desired software run is ignored, and
              for requests that people "mail root if you want to do this," are
              met with much silence.
           \_ yes, you can "fuck em" but if the existence of a feed
              makes people revolt, and not use wall logging, and therefore
              make the feed pretty much useless as well, what's the fucking
              point?
              \_ Lowers the alumni noise floor of wall thereby making it a
                 useful channel for undergraduate signal?  Sounds like a win
                 to me. -dans
                 \_ that way all 6 undergrads can talk.  If the alumni noise
                    is a concern for them, I'm sure they can figure out
                    how to make a second wallall channel
                    \_ If, as you indicate, there are only 6 active undergrads
                       in the organization, then perhaps the CSUA has run its
                       course and should be shut down.  Of course, you're
                       wrong, so the point is moot. -dans
                       \_ Do you actually work on getting stupider every
                          day?  -tom
                          \_ For you tom?  Anything. :-*
                             It's cute how you define stupid as "Any view
                             that doesn't support what you believe."  Here in
                             reality, i.e. that place outside of the bubble
                             you live in, we call that closeminded and
                             juvenile.  meh.  Bored now. -dans
                             \_ Coming from you, this is hilarious.
                                \- but is it ironic?
        \_ Let me add some useful info to this debate.  For the record, I
           think it's a cool idea, and don't care of Google indexes wall, in
           which case you could just reenable it as is.  But, the bitchy
           alumni can read these:
           http://csua.org/u/fok - How do I request that Google not crawl
           parts or all of my site?
           http://csua.org/u/foj - How can I remove content from Google's
           index?
        \_ Interesting and useful. But, really. I seriously have code to
           write for classes and such and shit to do. So I'll revisit at
           a later date. Until then, bad alums, no cookie! ;) --michener

9/20    How do I change my shell? chsh says "Cannot change ID to root."
        \_ /usr/bin/chsh does not have the SUID permission set. Without
           being set, it does not successfully change a user's shell.

5/8     Hello everyone!  This is Josh Hawn, CSUA Tech VP for Spring 2012.
        About 2 weeks ago, someone brought to my attention that our script
        to periodically merge /etc/motd.public into /etc/motd wasn't
        running.  When I looked into it, the cron daemon was running, but
        there hadn't been any root activity in the log since April 7th.  I
        looked into it for a while, but got lost in other things I was

2/9     Reminder: support for mail services has been deprecated for *several
        years*. Mail forwarding, specifically .forward mail forwarding, is
        officially supported and was never deprecated.
        \_ There is no .forward under ~root.  How do we mail root and how do
           we get responses?
           \_ root@csua.berkeley.edu is and always has been an alias.

6/5     In an effort to stabilize our services, we'll be rebuilding parts of
        the CSUA infrastructure over the course of this summer.  To give us
        some wiggle room, I've temporarily decreased soda's allocated RAM from
        8GB to 2GB.  If you need to run something that requires large amounts
        of memory, please send mail to root@csua.org and we'll try to
        accommodate your request.  --jordan

        \_ What's wall?
           \_ An anachronism from a bygone era, when computers were hard to
              comeby, the dorms didn't have net, there was no airbears, and
              when phones didn't come standard with twitter or sms.

Google services and tools How can I remove content from Google's index? Google occasionally receives requests from people to remove pages from its indices and search results. Although Google reserves the right to address such requests individually, Google views the comprehensiveness of our search results as an extremely important priority. Accordingly, we do not remove a page from our search results simply because its content is unpopular or because we receive complaints concerning it. Google may, however, remove pages from our search results under some circumstances. viruses, trojans or other badware, or at the request of the webmaster who is responsible for the page. Removals will take effect the next time Google crawls your site.
