I can't help but notice that each and every one of your taglines is comprised of only high-ascii. Is that what your tagline actually says? Or is it corrupted in some way?

You seemed to have quoted it back to me just fine. You're most likely not using
a UTF-8 reader/editor. It actually says "I don't know, I just work here" in Russian. :)

The BBS is still up and running on the original system for now. I ran into a hiccup compiling Synchronet on the RPi3 and haven't gotten an answer yet, so at
the moment I'm just migrating netmail/echomail over to it and separating it from the BBS (the BBS will become a leaf node instead).

I've already switched Dovenet around to send messages from the BBS (which I gave a new node number) to my mail hub (original node number linked with you now). So if you see any issues with Dovenet in the near future let me know and I'll fix it. I was staring at and working on configuration files all night, so it's possible I screwed up something. :)

Okay I will. :) So far it's still working anyway. :) I tried moving my BBS to a pi3, but just didn't jive with mystic enough to do it. Not saying I won't eventually pull the plug and move anyway. I have moved most of the web stuff I
host to the pi, and I really want to move the BBS to it eventually.

While you're checking things out for me, if you could take a look at your logs or something, it looks like you sent me two ARCmail bundles today, with extensions .WE2 and .WE3. These were (for some reason) imported into my agoranet netmail area.

Not sure what tosser you're using, but you may want to see if you indeed cleared out all your League 46 configs. Not only the actual door game, but the tosser that creates an ARCmail attachment for door game packets.

So far not too bad. Had a couple issues with some of my old settings that I moved over not wanting to work (ie: logrotate configs, old scripts, etc), which
were easily fixable. I had to recompile makenl on the ARMv7 arch otherwise it wouldn't execute. Small things that bring big headaches until you figure them out and realize how dumb you are for not thinking about it sooner.

I seem to receive one with each of your posts (I just got two more with your two echomail messages), so I would assume that your tosser is indeed creating these.

You should definitely be able to shut that off, though. See if there is some kind of "k/s" or "kill/sent" option around the same spot as any "arcmail attach" setting for my node.

I've made one more change about deleting netmail. If this fail's I'm afraid I'm placing the blame on your new setup as your old one handled everything fine? I haven't made changes in around 8 years...

We'll either fix it or I'll just process Agoranet on my sysop point only and remove the BBS from the mix as it's very old software that follows the standards of the 90's.

okay that didn't help. I'm still sending you the .THx file which is the compressed
bundle of echomail, and a PKT file which is the arcmail netmail.

Wanna just put the net's on hold between us for now? I did try to migrate to
a modern
BBS package, but there were just too many things I didn't like about them. Since I'm the

Don't worry about that. Keep things as they are. I think I found a setting in HPT (afterUnpack) that will let me run something manually. I may try to delete that *.MSG file and see if that works.

Since you said you were able to view all this happening. Can you take a look at
the bundle before it leaves your system?

It looks like you're sending me a raw .pkt, as well as a bundle, at the same time. The packet seems to contain your actual message(s), yet the zipped bundle
(this time it was 00E40160.TH9) includes the ARCmail attachment ONLY??

Why in god's green Earth would it do that, unless that is how it always was and
I never grasped ARCmail before.

Either way, my apologies. This is indeed not something you can fix in your tosser settings. HOWEVER. You're using Irex, and Irex does indeed have that functionality if I remember correctly, as long as your setup includes ARCmail style processing, and you're not using the BSO settings. ARCmail style mailers are supposed to delete those attachments before the packet leaves your system. I do know that is definitely how Irex and other mailers that support ARCmail work.

Take a look in Irex. If you have me setup for BSO that's definitely the problem, as your tosser is ARCmail and your mailer is setup for BSO, which just
sends off everything in your outbound directory for me, rather than removing the ARCmail attach stuff before sending.

I'm definitely not disappointed with it, that's for sure!

While I could probably come up with a bunch of uses, I think I'm going to stick
with this one till I have it all setup, then buy one more for a whole-house media center running OSMC. That should be all I need until I find some other use for it. :)

In a galaxy far far away, and a time long forgotten. There was a software package called ezycomm. It's a
arcmail style system, and can't be changed to not send a blank netmail.

When I was feeding from one such system in a network that fight's, those netrmails would come in. Mbse

See if your software has such a feature or function.

I don't see anything that is in plain sight. Then again HPT's documentation is not the greatest. However, this is not an issue with his tosser (it is working as expected for an ARCmail attach tosser). It's his mailer that is not deleting
the ARCmail attachment during transmission.

I do know for a fact Irex handles ARCmail attach just fine. So there seems to be a configuration issue on his end. If he's using Irex in BSO mode with fileboxes, that would definitely be the problem. However I don't know if it's /that/ easy, as Shawn/Tiny has been around for quite awhile. So I highly doubt he's running his mailer in a mode different from his tosser. :)

If your router fully supports it, it should basically be the exact same as IPv4. You'll have to open ports for IPv6 also.

I know what has to be done, yes. I just haven't done anything yet. I
was giving you a find the *real* problem with Irex eventually. :)

I've looked at everything... I can't for the life of me figure out why
it does it.
I just clear out the inbound directory of PKT's in my tossing script for mystic. LOL

inet6 addr: 2607:f2c0:9466:e500:a720:668:76c4:ffc0/64 Scope:Global
inet6 addr: fe80::ae7b:64a:a9b8:bd7d/64 Scope:Link

Looks like you have a native IPv6 address.
If your router fully supports it, it should basically be the exact
same as IPv4. You'll have to open ports for IPv6 also.

It says it supports it. Just trying to wrap my mind around which one
of those above is the address I foward the 24555 port to.

Should be something to do with "kill attach" or deleting attachments during transmission. Mystic can't do this, as it's a BSO mailer. Irex can and should, though.

The 2607 one would be your outside accessible IPv6 address. The one that starts
with fe80 is your link local address, which is much like 127.0.0.1 in the IPv4 realm.

I agree. I've been all over both ezycom and irex. I am still hopeful once Mystic development starts again I'll be able to move to it full time. Just some issues in regards to offline mail holding me back. That and I just like the damn ezycom setup. hahaha

Thank you! I've opened the port now... I'm gonna go back to the IPV6 echo and see if I can find out how to attempt to connect to you via it. ;)

Also opened up port 2023 which /should/ allow telnet to the bbs over ipv6.

There's no need to look over Ezycom. It is definitely the FD/Attach Mailer's job to delete that ARCmail attachment.

Tell binkd to create a poll using the "-6" option for IPv6 only. Use binkp (dot) pharcyde (dot) org (IPv6) rather than bbs (dot) pharcyde (dot) org (IPv4). Also, make sure you're using a version of binkp that supports IPv6. "binkd -vv" in a command prompt will give you compilation flags. Just as long as "ipv6" is mentioned you should be good with your current version.

Also opened up port 2023 which /should/ allow telnet to the bbs over ipv6.

Does your telnet server support IPv6? If you're using something old to connect to Ezycom, I highly doubt it. As for Mystic, James may have added IPv6 to the mis2 binary, but I don't think it was introduced to the original yet. That may even be for binkp only.. I don't remember.

I'm runnig mis2 and it does support ipv6 for bink and telnet. I
believe the issue in in my router as I can't connect on the local lan

If you have the ports open, I can always give it a shot from outside your LAN. It may just be that you can't connect to yourself (also, usually a router setting).

I started getting it 6 years or so ago, and since then I've had only one
cold and never the flu. I think I was just run down and possibly sick

I'm a big believer in vaccines and will continue to get the flu shot every year. After all how else will the gubment be able to track me?

They are open yes. I am using the stock linksys firmware which is a

does support, just the config for that is out of this world.

If you have the support in your stock linksys firmware, I wouldn't bother with dd-wrt. They focus more on adding as many features as they possibly can, rather
than focusing on making sure the important ones work like they should.

I have an Asus router, and while I could've flashed it with dd-wrt, I chose to go with Merlin's custom firmware. He basically takes the stock Asus firmware, and fixes most things for them, while only adding select needed features to not
bloat it. Otherwise the look and feel mimic's the stock firmware almost exactly.

If you already have IPv6 settings, and can open/close ports for IPv6 addresses,
that really should be all you need.. unless obviously you want to get really involved techy-wise and go any further with it. But for a BBS sysop I can't see
a need for dd-wrt if you already have decent IPv6 support.

Obviously if there wasn't specific needed settings for IPv6 stuff, then I'd definitely flash to something that does have it.

Did you add your IPv6 address to your domain setup wherever that resides?

I wasn't able to connect via IPv6, but it may be something you missed in the process. Opening the ports is one thing, but if your domain is hosted elsewhere, you'll have to point your domain to your IPv6 address as well (ie: make an AAAA record). In this case, you probably don't want to add an AAAA record for tinysbbs.com, since that is still Ezycom. Instead, create a subdomain like "ipv6.tinysbbs.com" and only open the ports for your Mystic system for that subdomain..

Also, I noticed your ARCmail bundles arriving here are always addressed to "Nick Boel". Maybe that will give you more clues as to where to look for the settings. Unless that's just where you specified my name in Irex for your link connection information..

I have changed your name in only irex to "AgoraDude" let me know if it

While it's most likely Ezycom that's creating the ARCmail attach, Irex should be seeing it and deleting it upon transmission of your legit packet. With this message, it still came in as Nick, and not AgoraDude. :)

If you're using a mailbox/filebox for Irex, you're probably sending me everything and anything that gets placed into that directory, including the ARCmail attach. Do you have a 'default' outbound directory? You could try using
that rather than a separate mailbox/filebox for me. I'm not sure how that works
with ARCmail attach mailers, but I'm positive when mailbox/fileboxes are used, Irex (as well as most other software) will just send /all/ contents of that directory. I'm guessing this is the current case, but am not 100% sure on how Irex would scan a regular default outbound and delete ARCmail attach bundles.

You only really needed to setup a filebox when you had the door game packets being sent to my system. That actually should have been separated from your echo/netmail - whereas regular echo/netmail would still use the default outbound, if that's at all possible with ARCmail attach style setups. This is typically how it's done in BSO, and I haven't ran a FD/Attach style anything since the early 2000s, so my assistance on that is pretty limited.

Yep. Your DNS does indeed have an AAAA record now, but your IPv6 ports must still be closed on your router. If you don't have specific settings in your router to enable ports for IPv6 addresses, you may have to fully open IPv6 traffic or replace your stock firmware.

So when I try to telnet, it indeed tries your IPv6 address, but doesn't connect. So I'm assuming it's now your router config.

I would also try to factor in you being in a new territory as well. There may be one little setting you missed, and I have no idea what your firmware looks like these days to help you out with it. :)

If you really want to, although I don't think you need it if you have all the right IPv6 settings on your current firmware. dd-wrt is much more convoluted and easy to make even bigger mistakes with. Most of which you don't need for the kind of operation you're running.

Just got done moving the BBS over to the Pi3. Had to reconfigure a bunch
of stuff and now I'm just using Synchronet's new built in mailer to poll
my hub rather than running two mailer daemons 24/7. Hopefully I didn't
miss anything! :)

Excellent, actually. I slapped a 128gb SanDisk microSDXC in it so there's plenty of space, and I separated all the FTN operations and moved the BBS over as a leaf node to pull from the hub (on the same machine). With everything running here I'm only using 10% memory and all 4 cores stay under 10% when under load.

The 15 year old BBS machine I moved everything from was officially turned off today after I was happy with the results and figured out everything that wouldn't work. BBSLink and CoA for oldschool door games, since I removed all the local DOS games (since dosemu isn't available), and I'm working on native Usurper and Legion binaries via email with the developers.

I gotta say, there's definitely something missing not hearing that Athlon64 3700+ screaming at me under my desk. :)

Now that this is done, I have another bone stock RPi3 sitting here on my desk (c'mon, I couldn't just get one!) awaiting OSMC (Open Source Media Center) for the whole house media center. So I can finally make decent use of my Seagate 1TB external hdd along with the Pi3, rather than serve up Plex on my gaming rig
when we want to watch movies or TV shows.

I'm impressed so far. Hopefully it stays that way. :)

Nick

I do believe that's the way I'm going to go. It's a one shot installer, rather than having to install a Linux distro first, then install something like XBMC/Kodi on top of something already installed. I've also heard that there's some issues with Kodi at the present time, and I'm not all that sure I want to deal with that. I just want a working media center.

I'll definitely let you know. I may even get to it today. :)

Okay. So it's basically creating one ARCmail attach bundle per export. Meh, I'm

I'll have to admit. It does. 1080p movies play super smooth, and don't spike the Pi3's CPU at all. The only thing that started to scare me was when importing my library to the Pi3, the CPU would spike to 100%, but I guess (according to the actual plex/Pi3 forum) that's normal. For one you have to wait like 10 minutes after you boot it up for plex-media-server to settle down before importing your library. And then you can't just start selecting a bunch of folders.. one at a time will spike it enough to scare you. Once finished importing, though.. it's right back down to less than 10% operation across the board.

This is even using a Seagate external 1tb hard drive plugged into the Pi3 via USB! I'm impressed. :)

Nick

Not true. I'm officially running the "plex-media-server" package straight from the ArchLinuxARM's package manager. Once installed and running, you simply go to http://localhost:32400/web and set everything up just like you would any other time.

Works great!

I originally went the OSMC route, which had a nice installer that did all the work for you. Once installed, I started setting it up only to get really confused, and it wouldn't even detect any of the movies in the folder I was trying to add to my library.

After a couple hours of screwing with that with no good results, I asked Google
(my last hope), and found out there's a plex-media-server package in most Linux
distributions now. Up till now I ran Plex Media Server on my gaming machine (Win10), which I liked.. but didn't want to run it on a machine that was powered off often. When I realized I could stick with ArchLinuxARM and install plex-media-server, I was sold. Super easy to configure, and works nicely.

I have been all over the website... I just don't understand what plex is
do I upload all my content to them? What's the pi doing just displaying
stuff from their site on your tv? Or is the pi the server that holds all
your media and you access the media using a smart tv or another pi running
kodi?

Plex is the media server. You don't upload your content to them, you just have to load up your library so it knows what to show to the clients. The Pi is running the Plex media server. The server itself has a local web configuration.
So you're basically connecting to your Pi's plex hosted website to configure your settings and load your libraries. There is no config file, etc.. you configure it all via a nice web GUI that comes with the server.

So, to make it easy.. install your Linux distribution of choice. Use the distro's package manager to install the plex-media-server package (that is what
it is on ArchlinuxARM, but may not have hyphens in *buntu repositories). Fire up the media server and make it start at boot (with Archlinux/systemd it's like
so):

systemctl start plex-media-server (this starts the server)
systemctl enable plex-media-server (this creates a symlink for it to be started
every time you boot the device).

Then open your browser and go to:

[LAN-IP-OF-SERVER]:32400/web

And use the step by step graphical instructions to add your library and configure your settings. Done deal!

Nick

I don't have it opened up externally, although I easily could do so. At the moment I just have no reason to do it and with no reason why bother opening another port to get spammed by script kiddies. Amirite?

I have to say, it's probably the most feature filled server I've tested out. Between OSMC and Kodi seeming to lack many things Plex offers, I just had to go
back to it when I found out I could run it on Linux.

Nah the port can be defined and its not a normal port so unlikely to get spammed by anyone.

I can agree been using it for years and moving it from a Windows machine to a NAS helped a lot with using it. There are issues with watching items as AVI, chance it will spike the device you are loading it from.

I keep all media at the moment MP4/AKV which seems to work and not cause any cpu related spikes when streaming with it.

You're right. I have been using Plex and Pi sice RPi v2 but as a client only since I have my server running on a
more powerful rig where it can auto-transcode on the fly for my various types of clients such as IOS, Android, Roku
devices and Smart TVs. I even stream to my mom and my sister's homes and works like a charm.

In your case, I would like to know how well it will perform when transcoding or

So far I've only tested out our Samsung smart TV which is the main place we watch movies in the house (which is the main one that actually matters). I tried out a 1080p movie first try, and it ran smoother than silk with no speech
lag or anything like that.

While it was running I had "top -c" running on the Pi3, and it wasn't spiking at all.. staying below 10% on all 4 cores as well as memory. I have the Pi3 hooked up via USB to a Seagate 1tb external hard drive where I'm storing the media, and the TV was streaming just fine over wifi.

I'm pretty impressed, to say the least. Even installing Gnome on the Pi3 hurt my eyes with all the lag and choppyness. I had to go with fluxbox instead just to keep things as fast as I expected it to be. But the media server (once started and calms down - about 5-10 minutes once libraries are read and such) seems to run great for our usage.

I don't stream outside the house, so that probably helps. All in all I'm just happy I don't have to run Plex Media Server on my gaming machine anymore. I'd rather turn that machine off when I'm not using it, and keep a couple Rpi3's running 24/7. :)

Nick

I had gone through all of this as well as the forums before installing the server, hoping that this was indeed an OS dedicated to PMS (Plex Media Server).
When I realized it was not, I looked further and found that most distributions offer the server in their package managers now - which is awesome.

Our Samsung smart TV has the plex app installed, and works great with the Pi3 server. We have a couple tablets around the house I may also try installing the
app on and test watching from those. Hopefully we can win our TV back from the kids a little more. :)

I'm pretty impressed, to say the least. Even installing Gnome on the Pi3
hurt my eyes with all the lag and choppyness. I had to go with fluxbox instead just to keep things as fast as I expected it to be. But the media server (once started and calms down - about 5-10 minutes once libraries
are read and such) seems to run great for our usage.

Actually you might give Mate a try, it's classic gnome but updated linux Mint version, and it's very fast and snappy on my Pi2. And has a lot more options then just plan flux box.

I could definitely give it a shot. I installed the entire gnome package, and then just run fluxbox. So I can use all gnome apps as well as themes and icons in fluxbox, so it's pretty good actually. Fluxbox is super fast, and looks great when configured properly.

I threw on the oldschool gnome "Radiance" window and fluxbox menu decorations already. So it basically looks like an old style gnome desktop, but a lot more snappy and way less resources being used. We'll see though, I can easily uninstall all of gnome in one command with Arch and try something else. I really only need the GUI for Firefox so I can snag what I want and move them to
my library all on one machine.

Regards,
Nick

Then open your browser and go to:

[LAN-IP-OF-SERVER]:32400/web

And use the step by step graphical instructions to add your library and configure your settings. Done deal!

then what? how do you watch your library? is the pi connected to your TV some how and you just choose that input to see it? kinda like we have directv on hdmi1, a blueray player on hdmi2 and then put a pi on hdmi3??

how do you control it all? is there a remote where you can just push the play or pause buttons or do you have to dick around with some web page on a
computer somewhere??

I suppose you could do it any way you want, but we have all smart TVs in our house, so I just simply run the server on the Pi, and either go to input on the
TV where the media server would be shown, or I use the Plex client app available for most smart TVs which connects directly to it via wifi.

Just the standard TV remote. If you use the Plex client app on the TV you just load that up, and it has your library right there. Use the arrow keys (or newer
Samsung TVs your remote actually acts like a mouse on your TV screen) to go to play, pause, etc.

The web UI for Plex Media Server is only for setting up, updating your library when you add new content (immediately), or organizing.. Otherwise after initial
setup you don't really have to use it much. In your settings, you can set the server to scan and update your library at intervals, and the rest is history.

Nick
