Walking in Light With Christ - hip0's personal blog on System Administration, Free Software, Computer Security and Religion

This christmas is again a failure. I'm not really happy from what my life is nor my friends are. I think nobody respects me. I'm convinced nobody loves nobody. I don't see answer to a particular prayer so i'm stucked. I fucked up my freebsd system. I observe a lot of problems when dealing with usbs under FreeBSD. Actually I want to lay and not to wake up in the morning. I don't have the love of my life something I've badly wanted all my life. The bible tells us that we pray to our Heavenly Father he will give us what we want just read that I wonder when this is going to happen ... I'm so tired of waiting. I've spoke a lot of uncensored words today ... hell this world is going down. Does God save or not. If God saves I'll let you know on my next posts (if there are such ..)

A great improvements in php execution times may be achived using the eaccelerator php module it keeps cached the executing php files so prevents the server from interpreting the same php files over and over again on each client visist. I recommended it to everyone looking for performance optimization The project is located on http://eaccelerator.net. Today we had a HRQM lesson in the College before that we had Dutch. I went to the pharmacy to buy some medicines after school. Psychic health is a serious issue I observe I and other friends need psycho therapy :). The life is going day after day I'm curious why do people need so much information. Everything has become so complex nowheredays that sometimes you can't to make even the small assignments for the day. Currently I'm trying to brainwash my brain with a SCI-FI serial called "THE 4400" it's an absolute bull shit (nevermind). Today also there is a divine grace thanks to God. From 3 days I'm listening Saviour Machine again heavily pretty neat band if you haven't checked it I recommend it There are many questions I ask myself everyday with the hope someday I'll know them. The most general question of them is "What's the point of all". I think the only corrent answer everytime I found is "to walk humbly with your God" and as a result of this be more and more like Christ. Faith in God is such a strange think. You're in him and he is in you

Today I was in Varna in the office to do some backups and take my Salary. First I went to the Church for few minutes. There I met Damqncho and we walked together for 10 minutes or so. After that I catched a minibus (there are minibuses on every 15 minutes). Somewhere around 10:40 I was in the Office. I did some job there one of the programmers broke his X after reinstalling xorg-server and other x-related packages in the end I suggested to restart the machine. Hooray it works again !. As every windows user know "Restart and it will be fixed" That's most of my day in the evening I went to my grandma. Now I'm going to bed. We had started a new site today http://festapremiumresort.com . There was problem with the rule in .htaccess in the end with the help of guys in irc.freenode.net #apache and ofcourse God. I was able to resolve that the solution was adding line RewriteBase / to the .htaccess line, otherwise the rule RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php loops.

One more time I had problems with our company's mail server caused by spammers (I'm sick of this guys!). Probably there is some new spam programs on the net which open a lot of connections to mail servers and tend not to close it. My qmail "timeoutremote" and "timeoutsmtpd" values were set to the default (1200 seconds) which actually is pretty much. Tons of infected machines trying to send spam were making connections to the mail server keeping the connection open forever a lot of qmail-smtpd processes were forked and stayed idle. When reaching more than 145 qmail-smtpd processes the qmail-smtpd service stopped to respond to any connections. This happens approximately every 5 minutes. So on 4 minutes I had to do qmailctl restart until I catched the problem lays at *timeout* values(Praise the Lord)! for helping me solve this. After I have fixed that I went to the college and ate in the College Restaurant. My grandma come home and invited me on a breakfast tomorrow :). Lily called and we went together for a fast coffee with her little son (Evelin). In the early evening a friend of mine called to see each other Damqncho. As usual Damqncho was with Steliancho. Damqncho is 18 years old where Steliancho is 16. Damqncho is from a family which are very poor they sometimes doesn't have money even for bread .. And somedays they ate only bread (this is all he and his parents could afford), hope this would change. Steliancho is even in a worse positiong since he is a homeless kid whose parents, doesn't not give a damn for him and he is sleeping on The Street, he also has problems with his kidneys and is pissing himself (I mean literally) :|. I bought them some food and tried talking to them. It's sad that nobody cares for people like this. If I had the power/money to help this ppl and ppl like them I would. But probably God has some special intention (to test) us who have a Big Houses, food and protected place to lay our heads at night. If somebody reading this is interested helping this kids the best way to help them is to pray God to bless him with a good job, they really need this because most of the time they can't find any good job, and gain too little money only when there is something to help to someone. They need a regular job which would provide them with firm amount of money each month. After 20 minutes or so I'm going to bed, cause tomorrow I have to stand up and go to my Grandma's apartment cause she has invited me on a breakfast I'm going to eat (macaroni) :). The day was quiet as a whole (Thanks to God). This week is going to be a loaded one. On Wednesday we have Defense of a "Marketing research project", a survey (questionary) and analysis of the results. The defense is going to be a presentation. After that in Thursday we have another presentation at culture and I have to speak about "Bulgarian Heroes". Well I suppose that's most of what's going around me. Night

Yesterday I spend a lot of time outside with Lily. We went to the fountain we watched film at home. The film was called "Wild Hogs" it was supposed to be a fun commedy (only supposed to be). This week is going to be a taugh one. We have to present a project at Marketing Research. I have to write a 600 words resume about International Enterprice, also we have to make a presentation in Culture. Today in the morning i was on a Liturgy again. God's grace is here ! The week passed without serious server issues (Thanks God). Today I checked some logs of one of the servers and I observed oddities there. I checked the crontab and I realized it's because of a crontab. The dumped database is a HUGE one 2.6G (bzipped). I asked in irc.freenode.net #mysql, and the guys there pointed me to a similar issue which was supposed to be an MySQL bug when dumping large database. Since the dumping databases were of a type MyISAM I ofcourse could have used mysqlhotcopy. But in the end the solution to the problem was removing "--opt" option from the backup opts of mysqldump and passing "--skip-opt" to it (I suspect this would slow the dumping process a lot). But I don't care it is much better (a slow dumping), than hanging the whole Webserver and interrupting the site's visibility over the Internet. Btw I started playing Quake 2, it's cool but a little annoying there are too many tunnels and very often after I kill most of the bad guys I spend a lot of time searching for keys and stuff .. :).
