hi. just wanted to ask if you provide dns hosting to existing customers?
heidar: reverse dns, yes, but not forward dns (we don't host customer zones)
lots of registrars can do that for you (godaddy, register.com, enom, etc...)
My registrar doesn't. But I just wanted to know, I can just use one of the free ones instead. cheers
or choose another registrar. ;-)
:)
tooth: There's only one registrar who sells the TLD I'm using ;)
oh. interesting
and what TLD is that?
dns.he.net is pretty good as far as free dns hosting goes.
soviet union .su
cheers tinono I'll have a look
i use hetzner.de for dns hosting
... but only as secondary from a hidden master
heidar: can you still get .su addresses?
heidar: What registrar is that?
Yeah, nic.ru have been selling them for years now. They're quite cheap and they give you free whois privacy.
Awesome
yeah. I looked around for a private registrar
tirami.su is taken :(
nearlyfreespeech and gandi.net seem to do that
tooth: Do what?
don't publish your WHOIS contact info to anyone with an internet connection
goaheadand.su
people who hide their whois are always up to no good
as an avid anti-spammer, I think the practice should be abolished
uhhhh
i dont want my dox dropped
are you talking to me?
yeah
then what is a "dox"?
documents
name, phone number, address
if trolls on irc get that stuff
....
well - if there's an anoymous layer, then the intermediary should assume responbsibility for whomever they are hiding
right
thats what i do
so sure, if you hide behind Joe, and you do something bad, I can sue Joe instead of you
register via a proxy
and he's responsible for you
thats fine
sadly, that's not likely anytime soon
how does one hide his dns reg info?
i did not know thats even possible
lol
so we're still left in this crappy world
where people can spam and not get prosecuted
its easy i would imagine
just hack a bunch of boxes
even netsol lets you hide your stuff
and spam from them
?
im sure alot of them do that
well - there's still commmand and control
most windows machines are actually spambots now
millions of them
Is it really that hard to obtain someones details through a registrar when there is a legal issue? nic.ru take passport information when you register by the way.
yeah
controlled by eastern bloc countries for the most part
heidar: if you have a supepeana
or however you say it
its easy
but of course you have to get that from a judge
the international law is harder
yeah
have to go to the hague
my boxes drop all international IP's
and some countries still won't respect it
ah right
what is an "international IP"?
RandalSchwartz: I followed your advice, btw. I am now using dns.he.net as backup for all my zones :)
IPs don't know countries
i have huge list of allocations
by country
good job dxtr
i verify with whois
now your secondary is on five continents
Hi-five! \œ
\o
I'm also considering buying an imac
the countries we have perspective customers in
i unblock
but basically countries that are repeat offenders with no economy
will never be unblocked
i disagree with doing that
most attacks on my boxes come from the USA now
and i notify their ISP
i think in all my years of reporting spammers overseas
i have gotten one response
lol
alot of full inboxes
and alot of IP's with no abuse email that worked
when 95%+ cases are like that
that country does not need to connect to my email server
any of them
everytime I see someone banning a whole country from his mail server, I cry a little
especially given that the US is still #1 on spam :-p
+1
if everyone blocks the us, china, russia and the UK (current top 4)
we're doomed!
as a business, i'd be pretty annoyed if i found out my mail supplier was denying mail from entire countries
i agree with weighting some countries higher, so they trip spam filters easier, sure
yeah that makes sense
haha
well i am not a mail provider
i just dont want my company getting spam
if we are not in business from that country
we're #1!  we're #1!
haha
north korea does not need to be emailing us
could be Fearless Leader offering a personal apology
"and YOU sent it to SPAM!!!"
as long as you block it before port 25 handshake, and not after you accept, that'd work ok
then at least it'll bounce at the relay instead of being silently dropped
lol
i probobly should do that ;)
but its actually my boss who added the rules lol
RandalSchwartz: ah, there you are. Any sign of your ipv6 shirt?
heidar: nic.ru doesn't take passport information.
maybe if you're... russian or something?
RandalSchwartz: I don't care if my registrar gives my details to LEO (or random lawyers), though I expect them to fight any groundless requests. That's quite a difference from giving that info to *anybody*
RandalSchwartz: it's the same reason I don't go around giving everybody I meet my full name, phone number and address.
jdoe - I've had my ipv6 shirt for quite a while
sadly - I think it was part of the 1200 I donated to charity
RandalSchwartz: is floss weekly available as a podcast?
awww
mine hasn't showed :(
up_the_irons - what else would it be? :)
it *is* a podcast.
RandalSchwartz: hehe, ok :)
what did you think it was?
RandalSchwartz: just got a new ipod nano, so i'm going to be loading it up with some
RandalSchwartz: just an audio file of some sort
aha.  yeah, the subscribe links are on twit.tv/floss
yeah - a web site is just some HTML too!
i'm a noob when it comes to podcasts
RandalSchwartz: yeah :)
you can subscribe to audio, or even small or large video
the link there will open itunes to add it for you
RandalSchwartz: ah nice
the rss feed has only 20 shows, but all the shows are actually available directly.
heh - I was playing my "teaser" from each of the 20 shows listed at http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=368823654
I do a bit for the video that doesn't end up in the audio
that's because the video runs in rotation on the live feed when live things aren't happening
so we need a teaser for people to know why to keep watching
