Moving server to Ubuntu?

January 29, 2007 Posted by mitch | ubuntu | 0 Comments

I'm thinking I'm going to move to Ubuntu server instead of debian...  I'm not liking the fact I'll have to resetup my mail server however... I hate mail servers... Honestly... this whole spam situation we have, is honestly a mess.  SMTP needs a revamp to remove such crap, or to better implement controls to slow it down and make it better to filter.  However, if it wasn't profitable (ie: all you dumb users out there that click on the spam emails and especially those of you that *ACTUALLY* buy something from these monsters)

I hate email servers!!!


More on the Net Neutrality

I know I've posted before about this whole net neutrality.  Which might possibly make it through this time around.  And if we can't get them to properly label their connections(I doubt you could force it too, because these same companies are currently getting away with advertising unlimited usage of their internet connections but booting you off if you use to much bandwidth.) like I and previously commented about.  I'm for this net neutrality as it is definitely needed.  Letting the money grubbing telco's decided whats "best" for consumers is a joke.  Nor is letting the market figure it out.  There simply isn't enough competition for that to work.  Anyway, I found this article, that gives a bit more detail about the situation, and I think its pretty close to accurate as for why the telco's want this net neutrality bill not to pass.  I love the thought of them trying to outlaw encryption too... Thats like trying to stop the p2p networks...  and we know how well thats worked out.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of your world.
