Below is a snapshot of the latency at my local Starbucks taken using my Ping-exp tool. Notice the cyclical latency spikes. In this test the “Low” traffic had the high throughput TOS bit set, the “Default” traffic set no TOS bits and the “High” traffic set the low delay TOS bit.

Latency at my local Starbucks 2012-06-17

I was recently in Barcelona and took the opportunity to see Sagrada Família.

Wow, I’ve been in a lot of churches but this one completely blew me away. It feels like a building from a Sci-Fi movie. Construction started in 1882 and isn’t expected to be complete until 2026.

I like to have a copy of the emails I compose in my Inbox because it makes threaded message views complete. In the past I’ve used outbound mail filters but this is a bit annoying to maintain when you use several mail clients. A couple weeks ago I finally got around to configuring a server side solution.

The solution I settled on uses MIMEDefang running as a Sendmail milter with a simple rule to add a recipient. I found part of this solution online but I didn’t find a complete example so hopefully this is useful to someone.

Since I don’t need MIMEDefang for anything else I removed all the filter functions from mimedefang-filter and added the following function:

sub filter_end {
        if ($Sender =~ /example\.com>$/ || (grep { /example\.com>$/ } @Recipients)) {
                add_recipient('dan@example.com');
        }
}

Don’t forget to add “1;” to the end of the file if you don’t have any other rules defined (see the sample file).
