Formerly known as thepurplepixel.

I'm most active on SuperUser, but do venture around to other StackExchange sites from time to time. I always love helping people out, and I hope my answers and questions adhere to the highest standards of the StackExchange network.

If you need to contact me, feel free to email tyson (@) tyson.me. Cheers!

I reserve the right to make a snide comment once in a while. Everybody has bad days. Sorry!

comment Force Dovecot not to log connect/disconnect messages
I don't agree with this solution because it trashes all mail.info messages, most of which are important (like those coming from $mta (postfix in my case)).

comment nginx + munin “internal redirection cycle”
On your advice, I changed it to location ^~ /munin/, but I'm still getting the redirect loop. I'll enable debugging and see what happens

@Cedric Why don't you put that as an answer? It answered my question!

comment What does this icon mean in the Exchange Management Console?
I know nothing about Exchange, but is it possible that it's a linked mailbox? (At least, that's what some googling suggests).

comment Force Dovecot not to log connect/disconnect messages
I think I may have not been clear enough in my question. I still want Dovecot to log to mail.log, but I don't want it to display these frivolous imap-login messages. Thanks for your help though!

comment Computers and air travel
@Mark I believe the TSA is the United States' Transport Security Administration, contracted out by the airports to administer/run their airport security (just like CATSA in Canada).

comment How to build an outbound load balancer with linux?
If they are both PPPoE/PPPoA, you may want to check if your ISP supports Multilink PPP (linktionary.com/m/mlppp.html) as I know some DSL providers do.

You could just as easily be Canadian (and use the American standards); not only the United Kingdom uses British English spelling. ;)

comment Windows RDP Client Version
It would be nice if you didn't ask this on SU AND SF (superuser.com/questions/118458/rdp-version-number) so all the replies can be consolidated in one place. This is more of an SU question anyways. (Yes, I am aware I'm being just as bad by double-posting this comment on SU and SF.)

comment determining if .htaccess is working
I thought that any file starting with ".ht" (like .htaccess or .htpasswd) was hidden by default with Apache (but I could be wrong).
