What to do when Gmail marks all the mails from your server as spam

What to do when Gmail marks all the mails from your server as spam

If you're self-hosting your services and having trouble getting your emails through Gmail and infuriated by Google's non-existent support, you're not the only one. I'd like to share my experiences trying to get it sorted out.

I'm the author of the post above. You can tell how arrogant Google employees are from all the previous posts he made in the past.

fork() is evil; vfork() is goodness; afork() would be better; clone() is stupid

I recently happened upon a very interesting implementation of popen() (different API, same idea) called popen-noshell using clone(2), and so I opened an issue requesting use of vfork(2) or posix_spawn() for portability. It turns out that on Linux there's an important advantage to using clone(2). I think I should capture the things I wrote there in a better place. A gist, a blog, whatever.

This is not a paper. I assume reader familiarity with fork() in particular and Unix in general, though, of course, I link to relevant wiki pages, so if the unfamiliar reader is willing to go down the rabbit hole, they should be able to come ou

It's a résumé, as a readable and compilable C source file. Since Hacker News got here, this has been updated to be most of my actual résumé. This isn't a serious document, just a concept to annoy people who talk about recruiting and the formats they accept résumés in. It's also relatively representative of my coding style.

Since this is on Hacker News and reddit...

  • No, I don't distribute my résumé like this. A friend of mine made a joke about me being the kind of person who would do this, so I did (the link on that page was added later). My actual résumé is a good bit crazier.
  • I apologize for the use of _t in my types. I spend a lot of time at a level where I can do that; "reserved for system libraries? I am the system libraries".
  • Since people kept complaining, I've fixed the assignments of string literals to non-const char *s.
  • My use of type * name, however, is entirely intentional.
  • If you're using an older compiler, you might have trouble with the anonymous unions and the designated initializers - I think gcc 4.4 requires some extra braces to get them working together. Anything reasonably recent should work fine. Clang and gcc (newer than 4.4, at le

Restoring ZFS Snapshots of PostgreSQL Database

ZFS Snapshots and PostgreSQL

I recently set up a host running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, ubuntu-zfs, and PostgreSQL 9.3. Using the ZFS snapshot feature I was able to make a snapshot of the file system holding the PostgreSQL database, write the snapshot to a compressed file, transfer it to another Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host running ubuntu-zfs, restore it, and launch PostgreSQL using that data directory with all the data (seemingly) intact.

The database is very low-traffic, so I do not know how effective this strategy would be for a busier database.

I take no responsibility if you attempt this setup and it causes data loss or other issues. Use it at your own risk; this document is meant to explain a potential setup and open discussion about limitations and potential improvements.
