A short howto on identifying issues with DKIM not signing
For example a client had the following error:
Authentication-Results: REDACTED; dkim=neutral reason="invalid (public key: not available)" header.d=REDACTED
DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=REDACTED; h=subject:content-type:from:reply-to:to:content-transfer-encoding:cc: content-type:from:subject:to; s=REDACTED; bh=REDACTED; b=REDACTED
In managing servers sometimes the logs identify an emerging pattern not yet identified in public records.
Detecting traffic from compromised devices all over the globe all using the same username ( npwvpz ) and decided to follow the traffic back to the originating device and identified an edge router/firewall that was available with an unencrypted login interface managed by a well known major vendor on a network run by a well known global cloud/hosting provider.
Contacted both companies.

libncurses-dev replaces libncurses5-dev and libncursesw5-dev
I have been using Ubuntu for my primary desktop for about 10 years. I have loved using it and had contributed often throughout the years submitting patches directly to Ubuntu.
The oddness I'm seeing with the ESM PRO has made me look at installing Debian directly and seeing how it compares.
Customer had Bugzilla for a ticketing system and wanted to automate monthly invoicing to all customers.
Used the Bugzilla API to automate reports via bash and then used python to generate and email invoices with customized names, headers, etc.
For development on Android one of the popular modules is Kivy. I had created the countdown pie timer as a way to compare OOP vs Functional programming styles and I wanted to also make it available on Android.
Some thoughts about the migration
Some background ...
Prior to my publishing this fix, skype was generating 100,000 lines of errors per day in /var/log/syslog
