For context, Marak has become known in recent history for some rather controversial comments regarding the late Aaron Swartz (whom they reference in Faker's updated README) & advocating for compensation for their open-source contributions. You can see the comments on both this Hacker News thread from Nov 2020 and this Reddit thread from today (January 5th, 2022) for additional context.
If you continue to need the functionality Faker provides, npm maintains old versions for install - just be deliberate with the version you're installing, i.e., npm i [email protected]. The full source and history is also maintained in @withshepherd's fork on GitHub (published on NPM as @withshepherd/faker).
He died trying to make a public free-as-in-freedom-and-beer database of research and legal records - all things paid for by tax dollars and on the public record - that other monopolies still keep behind paywalls.
The email pre-processing functionality announced earlier, is the most significant addition delivered in this update. This is being surfaced through four Advanced Rule conditions, ticking off some highly requested improvements.
As an example consider an organization whose addresses largely follow the scheme name.s...@domain.com but also has a few addresses of the type na...@domain.com. The recipient alias conditions can be combined with the exception Body or Subject contains words. This exception would then include all the names appearing in addresses of type na...@domain.com
The condition Total digits in sender address is within range, targets low value email addresses. Digits are an indication that an address was generated automatically. Spammers use this trick to quickly create unique addresses.
Users relying on free email services sometimes also use digits, especially when having trouble finding a unique address. On the other hand, business entities rarely use digits, since these make them look less professional.
This filtering condition is fine-tuned by specifying the digit count threshold. Organizations that deal exclusively with business clients won't see many legitimate senders with digits in their emails. Thus they can afford a low threshold, maybe blocking addresses with 3 or more digits. Other organizations with a broader pool of senders (such as Universities) may want to be more lenient and allow for more digits.
The Is NULL sender condition is useful whenever we want to create rules targeting these emails. An NDR spam wave could be dealt with by applying this filter to raise the spam rating of NULL sender emails.
In addition, by combining multiple conditions we can target specific DSN sub-categories. This would require us to better understand DSNs. Check the article Understanding NDRs and other DSN Reports for more details.
Occasionally we are encountering problems with servers having missing/incorrect registry information under the Power Shell registry hive. These servers would still have a well-functioning power shell. We encountered this problem on Windows 2019 but the same issue might arise on earlier Windows server versions.
IMF Tune depends on Power Shell for installing some of its components. In this fix we are replacing Power Shell detection, such that to allow IMF Tune to proceed with the installation. Any serious Power Shell problems are now caught by the installation further down the line.
When the IMF Tune Moderator/Reporting component is installed on a Windows 2019 server, a subsequent uninstallation would not remove the ASP.NET application components from within IIS 10. This update includes the necessary fix for these components to be correctly removed.
If running an earlier version of the Moderator on Windows 2019, you may encounter this problem on upgrading. In that case just go ahead with uninstalling and re-installing the latest Moderator. The re-installation will perform the necessary cleanup and re-create the components. Subsequent uninstallations will correctly remove the ASP.NET application.
This information applies to IMF Tune v8.0 build number 8.0.105.06. If IMF Tune is already installed you can verify the current build number from the configuration interface under the Miscellaneous category.
You can use Grafana Cloud to avoid installing, maintaining, and scaling your own instance of Grafana. Create a free account to get started, which includes free forever access to 10k metrics, 50GB logs, 50GB traces, 500VUh k6 testing & more.
Grafana has default and custom configuration files. You can customize your Grafana instance by modifying the custom configuration file or by using environment variables. To see the list of settings for a Grafana instance, refer to View server settings.
Depending on your OS, your custom configuration file is either the $WORKING_DIR/conf/custom.ini file or the /usr/local/etc/grafana/grafana.ini file. The custom configuration file path can be overridden using the --config parameter.
If you installed Grafana using the deb or rpm packages, then your configuration file is located at /etc/grafana/grafana.ini and a separate custom.ini is not used. This path is specified in the Grafana init.d script using --config file parameter.
By default, the configuration file is located at /usr/local/etc/grafana/grafana.ini. For a Grafana instance installed using Homebrew, edit the grafana.ini file directly. Otherwise, add a configuration file named custom.ini to the conf folder to override the settings defined in conf/defaults.ini.
Grafana uses semicolons (the ; char) to comment out lines in a .ini file. You must uncomment each line in the custom.ini or the grafana.ini file that you are modify by removing ; from the beginning of that line. Otherwise your changes will be ignored.
file reads a file from the filesystem. It trims whitespace from thebeginning and the end of files.The database password in the following example would be replaced bythe content of the /etc/secrets/gf_sql_password file:
Set the name of the grafana-server instance. Used in logging, internal metrics, and clustering info. Defaults to: $HOSTNAME, which will be replaced withenvironment variable HOSTNAME, if that is empty or does not exist Grafana will try to use system calls to get the machine name.
Path to where Grafana stores the sqlite3 database (if used), file-based sessions (if used), and other data. This path is usually specified via command line in the init.d script or the systemd service file.
Path to where Grafana stores logs. This path is usually specified via command line in the init.d script or the systemd service file. You can override it in the configuration file or in the default environment variable file. However, please note that by overriding this the default log path will be used temporarily until Grafana has fully initialized/started.
The host for the server to listen on. If your machine has more than one network interface, you can use this setting to expose the Grafana service on only one network interface and not have it available on others, such as the loopback interface. An empty value is equivalent to setting the value to 0.0.0.0, which means the Grafana service binds to all interfaces.
In environments where network address translation (NAT) is used, ensure you use the network interface address and not a final public address; otherwise, you might see errors such as bind: cannot assign requested address in the logs.
By enabling this setting and using a subpath in root_url above, e.g.root_url = :3000/grafana, Grafana is accessible on :3000/grafana. If accessed without subpath Grafana will redirect toan URL with the subpath.
The path to the directory where the front end files (HTML, JS, and CSSfiles). Defaults to public which is why the Grafana binary needs to beexecuted with working directory set to the installation path.
Set this option to true to enable HTTP compression, this can improvetransfer speed and bandwidth utilization. It is recommended that mostusers set it to true. By default it is set to false for compatibilityreasons.
Controls whether cert_key and cert_file are periodically watched for changes.Disabled, by default. When enabled, cert_key and cert_fileare watched for changes. If there is change, the new certificates are loaded automatically.
GID where the socket should be set when protocol=socket.Make sure that the target group is in the group of Grafana process and that Grafana process is the file owner before you change this setting.It is recommended to set the gid as http server user gid.Not set when the value is -1.
Optionally limits the total number of connections per host, including connections in the dialing, active, and idle states. On limit violation, dials are blocked. A value of 0 means that there are no limits. Default is 0.For more details check the Transport.MaxConnsPerHost documentation.
This option is also known as usage analytics. When false, this option disables the writers that write to the Grafana database and the associated features, such as dashboard and data source insights, presence indicators, and advanced dashboard search. The default value is true.
When enabled Grafana will send anonymous usage statistics tostats.grafana.org. No IP addresses are being tracked, only simple counters totrack running instances, versions, dashboard and error counts. It is very helpfulto us, so please leave this enabled. Counters are sent every 24 hours. Defaultvalue is true.
Set to false disables checking for new versions of installed plugins from When enabled, the check for a new plugin runs every 10 minutes. It will notify, via the UI, when a new plugin update exists. The check itself will not prompt any auto-updates of the plugin, nor will it send any sensitive information.
If you want to track Grafana usage via Rudderstack specify your RudderstackWrite Key here. The rudderstack_data_plane_url must also be provided for thisfeature to be enabled. By default this feature is disabled.
Optional. If tracking with Rudderstack is enabled, you can provide a customURL to load the SDK for destinations running in device mode. This setting is only valid forRudderstack version 1.1 and higher.
