btw, @NathanOsman since when did one-color avatars become so popular?

Nathan Osman

@ByteCommander Serg and Jacob did it.

So I had to do it too.

You should try it.

Byte Commander

Rather not...

Nathan Osman

Green, brown, yellow, and grey are unclaimed.

@ByteCommander You know you want to...

Byte Commander

If anything, I'd probably take pitch black or blood red...

Nathan Osman

Red is fine.

Dooooo eeeeeet.

Moe Greene

Morris "Moe" Greene is a fictional character appearing in Mario Puzo's 1969 novel The Godfather and the 1972 movie of the same name. The character's name is a composite of real Las Vegas mobsters Moe Dalitz, or possibly Moe Sedway, and Gus Greenbaum. However, both Greene's character and personality are actually based on Bugsy Siegel: his affiliation with the mob in Los Angeles, his involvement in the development of Las Vegas, and his flamboyant tendencies. Greene is portrayed in the movie by Alex Rocco. == The GodfatherEdit == Moe Greene is introduced in The Godfather as a renowned Jewish mobster...

6:29 PM

nop

terdon

Go Green -> Moe Greene.

Zacharee1

@terdon strangely enough, the sed you gave me worked perfectly

terdon

@Zacharee1 Nothing strange about it, the <<< was bound to leave the thing empty.

Zacharee1

but why would it still copy the APK?

did it just give up when finding //.apk?

terdon

Dunno. Something was being set somewhere.

And no, //.apk is equivalent to /.apk.

Zacharee1

6:33 PM

weird

terdon

$ ls //////////////////////home
lost+found  terdon

Zacharee1

because if $IF_G5 == nulll, then the dest would be /system/priv-app//.apk

terdon

@Zacharee1 yes. That is indeed weird, but that's why you echo all the things.

Zacharee1

@terdon when it's being run from a Java command, it's hard to find the output of a shell script :p

I guess it would be a good idea to actually output everything to a log file though

terdon

@Zacharee1 No. You echo stuff in the shell script. Just redirect to a log file. You know:

 echo "var \$variable is $variable" >> /tmp/mahlog

Zacharee1

6:35 PM

yeah

what if I want to echo stderr too?

I forget the syntax

&>&2> ?

terdon

@Zacharee1 command 2>&1 >> logfile

Zacharee1

ahg

thx

terdon

The &> is not portable.

Zacharee1

idk shell

terdon

Ah, no hang on. The other way around:

Zacharee1

6:38 PM

pls

terdon

command >> logfile 2>&1

Zacharee1

so

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "$1" >> /data/media/0/Zacharee1Mods/privapp.log 2>&1

IF_G5=$$(printf '%s\n' "$1" | sed 's/G5//g')

mount -o rw,remount / >> /data/media/0/Zacharee1Mods/privapp.log 2>&1
mount -o rw,remount /system >> /data/media/0/Zacharee1Mods/privapp.log 2>&1

cp /data/media/0/Zacharee1Mods/"$1".apk /system/priv-app/"$IG_G5"/"$IF_G5".apk >> /data/media/0/Zacharee1Mods/privapp.log 2>&1
chmod 0644 /system/priv-app/"$IF_G5"/"$IF_G5".apk >> /data/media/0/Zacharee1Mods/privapp.log 2>&1

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander maybe the DE?

idk

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 why not removing the redirects inside the script and call the whole script with a redirect instead?

Zacharee1

6:41 PM

@ByteCommander how

oh

the command itself?

Byte Commander

of course

Zacharee1

so sh ./script.sh argument >> /data/media/0/Zacharee1Mods/privapp.log 2>&1

Byte Commander

yup

Zacharee1

alright

thx

Byte Commander

no prob

that was easily earned karma

Zacharee1

6:44 PM

heh

is there a way to echo the current date?

since I'm appending, if I ask for logs, it'd be good to have a timestamp

Seth

@Zacharee1 date

Zacharee1

you mean $(date)?

:p

but does that also return the time?

Seth

it can

Zacharee1

can't find anything to answer today anyways

I'm so tired... I randomly won some random standing long jump contest at the gym (probably I was the only one who actually agreed to do it)... the trainer called me and said "pop into the gym and get your prize"

I naively did so

it turned out the prize was a free training session

so I had to throw giant balls at the ground and spar with rubber tubes and do some kind of weird ribbon dance and crawl around on the floor with this woman yelling at me for ages

I'll be amazed if I can get out of bed tomorrow

TheXed

If @Zacharee1 is a noob then I guess I haven't even begun my life yet.

Zacharee1

But on the bright side. If we have a "growth mindset" then the only place to go is up.

I don't really know what that means. Just some fancy term they like to throw around at work sometimes.

Zanna

9:19 PM

one of my students (she's 8) is always talking about that too

it disturbs me because a lot of things have to stop growing right about now if we're all to survive on a finite planet

I was going to say growth of unicorn dollars migh be ok since they probably have a small carbon footprint, but then I thought about how many times a week I charge my laptop battery

Serg

Even unicorn dollars have growth issues

I know that all too well

Look at all the pretty colors !

@terdon @KazWolfe @NathanOsman another reason to TLS all the things: Keep as much data as possible out of the hands of evil ISPs.

Nathan Osman

Don't look at me. The version of NitroShare shipping in Zesty will fully support TLS.

Seth

Just referring back to our conversation earlier this week.

Nathan Osman

@Seth To be fair - shouldn't the correct response be to boycott ISPs that do this?

Seth

@NathanOsman That's not usually an option. Most of them either have monopolies or close to it.

No competition at my address, for example.

Nathan Osman

Ah.

So we need to create our own ISP then :P

Seth

10:21 PM

So for me it'd mean no internet.

Nathan Osman

...or VPN all the time.

(Which is not fun.)

Seth

@NathanOsman Not that easy. Now you have to create the infrastructure..

There is more than one way to do it.

But here's what I do.

Server on DO + openVPN ? @NathanOsman

Nathan Osman

Not quite.

I use this in Docker: github.com/kylemanna/docker-openvpn

Serg

I should have guessed . . . Nathan does everything in docker :3

Nathan Osman

Benefits: unlike regular OpenVPN - it manages certificates, keys, and generates configuration files for you.

Seth

10:23 PM

hosted on..?

Nathan Osman

Linode

(Cuz fast and cheaper.)

Thomas Ward

Linode + Docker you mean :)

Nathan Osman

Whatever :P

Thomas Ward

your hat, also, has a hole in it. Sorry.

Seth

Not bad.

Thomas Ward

10:25 PM

@Seth I do VPN with pfSense systems at remote locations, as well as here at my apartment. Though, my ISP doesn't lurk my network data because of an agreement between me, them, and the one place I work for :P

funny how cyber-security people get all the perks :P

Seth

no kidding

Nathan Osman

My biggest annoyance is that it doesn't work with IPv6.

Thomas Ward

i have a virtual pfSense at my parents' place too that I can VPN into with, then admin their network muahahahaha

@NathanOsman yeah, that's annoying, but i thought they were close to implementing?

Nathan Osman

It isn't even OpenVPN's fault. It's just that Docker and IPv6, well they... don't get along all that well yet.

RobotHumans

Evidently I was out of the loop on the pi zero. Evidently you can just solder up a Male usb plug and tell it to act like a modem, and you get ethernet over USB. I wonder about a pi cluster now that's just a bunch of pi zeros on a powered usb hub plugged in to one rpi3.

Serg

@ThomasWard @NathanOsman one small question: can VPN be configured to route all the traffic from a router , or is VPN per-machine only ?

Thomas Ward

@Serg You can set up a VPN tunnel to tunnel all your traffic over a given route. It's very difficult to do and you end up with an almost Triple NAT situation behind your router, but it's doable. Normally you are using the same software on each side of the network, and usually it's with firewalls that can handle that kind of routing across the tunnel.

The other problem is that 'tunnel' usually assumes you have static IP endpoints

so if the IP changes you have to alter the tunnel configurations on both sides and reinitialize the tunnel.

RobotHumans

Depends on your router, but it is doable. You could say, with a decent router, send all traffic not from vpn endpoint to the vpn endpoint. Then on the endpoint, route all incoming traffic through a some vpn interface. I did it once for video conferencing at a psych office, so the doc could see patients at 3 locations from 1 location.

Thomas Ward

you also have to consider throughput and the uplink
