[opensuse] going away from computer
I will be going away from my computer in a few weeks, to the hospital, and will be there for up to two weeks. Is there a way to suspend mail from SuSE, or must I unsubscribe at that point? (I don't get that much mail from anywhere else, so I'm not worried about that.) --doug Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.

Just unsubscribe. You can always look through the archives when you get out of the hospital to see if you missed anything of interest to you. Then you re-subscribe when you get home. Hope it's nothing major you're going in for and best wishes of health. -- Michael S.

If you'll be able to work with it while you're recuperating, you might ask the hospital if they have internet for patients. It's been a while since I had anything to do with a hospital myself, but visiting at least two family members during their stay, both hospitals had wifi access, one in the waiting rooms, and the other in the patients' rooms.

As a clinician, it's very likely that most major hospitals will have some sort of access. However, be aware that many admins with hospital IT departments limit access (filters, ports, protocols). So, depending on your needs it may or may not be what you had hoped for. If you wanna FTP or dl a large amount of files or go to certain sites you may have a problem, using the browser, I had to back door to the openSuSE site - was blocked generically related to classifying open source in the same category as file sharing. Also the limitation have to do with HIPAA in the U.S. (providing you're in the U.S. that is). It is a great distraction, especially if you don't have a private room (I highly recommend a private room). Anyway, here's wishing you a speedy recovery. Cheers, Curtis. -- BEWARE!

At least here (Chile) private health care centers have, some of them at very high speed :) I wouldn't hold my breath for public health system though. However, be aware that many admins with hospital IT departments limit access

In that case, install tor and vidalia from contrib repository ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Wifi in a hospital? Seems like a good way to catch a virus. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Seems like a good way to catch a virus.
Lol, it's usually either ethernet or dsl, but they do have wifi in some... and yes these have the highest amount of lock down... Other than email and simple browsing there's not much more you can do - a lot ot times flash/shockwave is blocked and you can't dl jack! And patient accounts are completely seperate then that of the hospital data systems.... But then again, the MD have complete access and most don't have a clue about security.... The admins are very busy people overall tending to their systems. I left one HC system doing home health because they patient records and charting systems were A) antiquated and B) easily corrupted. I lost one patients' complete record - legally scarry! When I left, I had to finish up some things and my boss was present - one of the orders I had written disappeared before her eyes.... into the void (which I pointed out to her at the time was one of the prime reasons I was leaving). Don't expect too much from health care systems... Senior Business Execs make decisions that the IT departments scurry to deal with - the executives usually think in terms of marketing (how to fill beds) and the any liabilities therein. IT departments often have fits trying to comply with HIPAA and SarbOx, etc... Ciao. Curtis -- BEWARE! Spammers will be shot, survivors will be shot again!

Having just spent time in a hospital here is Germany, I'd have to agree. The night nurse was "on-call" via cellphone. It was tied into the call system when a patient rang for the nurse. No complaints when folks were using their personal phones either.

Wish you well. Er... yes, you can unsusbscribe, and when you come back, you can download from the archive an mbox file (one per month, and per mail list), with all the emails in the archive, which you can import to your mail program. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Why is it necessary to stop the mail? It'll be there when you get out and give you something to do while you recuperate. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It could fill up and bounce. Unless it is a big account like gmail's. :-? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
