A success....

So i stated the coding days would return and yes they have already. Started playing with an old module from ircd-seven called sasl_usercloak.c which would give users that used sasl the host example.username (providing you had account within the spoofed host) in ircd.conf

With irccloud now a very popular mobile client and making it harder to ban just one user it would ban many (using hostname) i decided to modify the sasl module so it would give a spoofed host like gateway/irccloud.com/x-59638385.

You'd have to set this up via ircd.ircd.conf and using spoofed hostnames! I'll be pushing to github later today if anyone is interested in it.

It's sunday and I'm resting today as on medication possibly for life now!

Coding Days are coming back

So it's been a long time since i made any changes to sIRCd. I literally let Ryan take over the project, however i have made some changes to it since. That all come to an end when i found a new app called periscope which has took over all my spare time.

I'll be launching my website again and will make this my priority on top off other little projects i have going and of course looking after my kids and spending time with my other half.

My RaspberryPi2 and the UPS is functioning just perfect now and it operates like it should after a firmware update (0x58) so would should reach a year uptime providing i don't restart it.

We've got 3 house viewings booked so, hopefully one of the 3 will become our new house in the next 4-8weeks! Hopefully it'll be house number 1 or number 3 (house 2 has such poor broadband speeds I'd actually cry)

Anyhow it's friday and I'm off to do some debugging on irc and possibly add a new feature by this evening if not it'll be by Sunday

Peace ✌

Monday Morning

Good morning

It's a fresh monday morning and I'm happy to say that my raspberry pi & PiCo UPS is working as expected without any problems!

I've been hunting around and found a new script however reluctant to run it due to a few things that may indeed need changing. It'll email me when power outage or even when power returns and if battery is low?

I'll be giving this a test at some point today, hopefully i don't break anything whilst doing so! End of the month I'll be collecting my raspberry pi  (model b 512mb) and using that also for some stuff.

If you get bored reading my blogs, visit http://chat.letstalkcoding.net and give me a message!

PEACE!

Nearly a year without a blog

Hello hello,

I can't believe it's nearly been a year since my last blog, life's been pretty hectic to say the least!

We are trying to get moved, basically this house is actually a dive! We have mould in every room upstairs, boiler leaks, we have a loft full of mice and it's too small for us and the landlord is putting rent up to £750 a month (Extra  £100). We've found a new place a 3 bed bungalow with a garage and drive way for £800 a month!

Let's hope this place becomes our new home so the garage can become my new workshop for computers and stuff.

These guys situated around 20 minutes drive from me in Tunbridge deserve a shoutout due to amazing support they've offered me for my pico ups for my raspberry pi. This now gives me the ability to run on batteries for up to 8hours should we have no electricity (power cut or something)

My goals for this year is to blog more, so expect more rambling from me this year!

Happy Sunday people.
