@Undo I finally realized why my imports were messing up: I had commas in some of my cells in a CSV! :P

@ColeJohnson shortly after we schedule it

@Undo Ubuntu server or Amazon Linux AMI?

Undo

03:56

@hichris123 I much prefer Ubuntu Server; I used Amazon Linux for a while and it bit me.

@hichris123 Heh, you got lucky. I first tried to import it from Database Administrators, because it had about the right size to it. Good grief, that dataset was an injection minefield :P

But hey, I learned a ton about injection-safe code!

hichris123

@Undo What is Amazon Linux?

Undo

@hichris123 A flavor of Linux developed by Amazon.

It works, but Ubuntu is better

hichris123

@Undo Why was it an injunction minefield?

Undo

@hichris123 Because those DB admins write queries in their comments :P

hichris123

@Undo I realize that, but I mean what's the difference between them?

Undo

04:04

I.e. there was one demonstrating an LBT-style MySQL injection - and it sure worked.

hichris123

Heh. :P

Undo

@hichris123 Not much, but I've been told by SF people not to use AL for quite a few reasons.

hichris123

Why?

Undo

Q: Linux EC2 Broken Yum

I am having a very very frustrating problem with the yum command. Here's how I think it started: I am running an EC2 server. A micro EC2 server. Today, I SSH'ed into the server and found '144 updates' awaiting me. Sure, I thought, go ahead. After a little bit in the process, I started getting t...

You'll probably have to wait for Amazon to fix it, or better yet, stop using Amazon Linux. — Michael Hampton Mar 28 '13 at 17:13

hichris123

That's the same mod who... :P

Undo

04:07

Well yes, but at this point he wasn't unhappy with me :P

hichris123

Heh, before Charcoal.

Before all mods hated you.

Undo

Long before Charcoal

@hichris123 Yeah. I'm sure glad I changed that :P

hichris123

Say, if you were a mod, would you hate yourself?

Undo

No, because I wouldn't have to handle my own flags :P

Every time I flagged something it would auto-validate and nuke the comment :P

hichris123

Meh, you could use a sock to do it...

Undo

04:09

But... then I would have work to do :P

hichris123

But you would feel useful then. And handle a lot of flags.

And you would have to handle my flags.

Undo

Oh :P

We would have to be on a team together.

hichris123

Yeah...

Otherwise I would barrage you with flags.

And it would be fun!

Undo

I'm hoping I manage to get you that Earth Science diamond - then I can barrage you with flags!

hichris123

That would be hilarious.

Maybe I should just be a 10ker on SO and say oh crap. :P

Even without comment/others.

Undo

04:16

Hehe, yeah. I bet it's an eye-opening experience to hit 10k on SO :P

hichris123

Yep.

Though you kinda can't do too much, not many delete votes.

Undo

Five goes a lon

hichris123

Oh, speaking of, I'm 17.5% of the way to 3K.

Undo

Long ways, really.

@hichris On SO?

hichris123

How much horrible stuff is there on SO?

ManishEarth

04:20

all of it

Undo

Quite a bit.

hichris123

@Undo Yeah, from 2 - 3 K.

Undo

Aaahhh

hichris123

@Manish So just burn SO?

ManishEarth

yes

hichris123

04:21

Huh, interesting idea. You should bring it up on [meta.stackoverflow].

Undo

nuke the whole six million, then hit restart?

hichris123

@Undo What was the ahh for?

Undo

@hichris Not sure anymore. I must have figured something out.

hichris123

Heh.

13 hours later…

Undo

17:08

@ManishEarth Have a link to that evolution of a beta site graph? I can't for the life of me find it.

ManishEarth

17:40

@Undo meta.ell

Undo

Oooh, yeah!

I was checking m.chem

3 hours later…

hichris123

20:49

@Undo So when I start up EC2, how do I interact with the server?

Undo

@hichris123 Over SSH - command line

It'll give you instructions, IIRC

hichris123

Oh, okay. :P

@Undo What version of Ubuntu & 64 bit vs 32 bit?

Undo

@hichris123 64 is always better.

And 12.04 is LTS, it tends to be more stable

hichris123

@Undo So.. go with LTS 12.04 vs. 13.10?

Undo

@hichris123 I would

But it doesn't really matter if you

're just playing with it.

hichris123

20:54

Are you on a tablet?

Undo

No, lazy

hichris123

21:11

@Undo So now I have the server set up. I realize I can now connect to it, install Apache, and do all of that stuff. So then how do I add pages to the server? (webpages)

Undo

@hichris123 You can run sudo apt-get install apache2, then put everything you want on the server in /var/www

hichris123

Ooh, okay. :)

hichris123

21:29

> Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-54-virtual x86_64)

Yay!

Undo

hichris123

So how do you have it set up to put the files in /var/www @Undo?

Yay:

> The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

Undo

@hichris123 cd to it, then just create them.

Your main html file should be at /var/www/index.html

hichris123

@Undo If I create it, I realize it'll blank, how do I edit it?

Undo

@hichris123 vim ;)

Or you can SFTP into the server with your favorite client. Like Sublime Text.

openvim.com/tutorial.html

^ Kinda neat

hichris123

21:42

Ahah!

@Undo vim works

~

<p>The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.</p>
</body></html>

Undo

Yay!

Yup

hichris123

@Undo Why can't I change anything in index.html? It's read only. Do I have to chmod it?

hichris123

22:18

Ah, me just needs sudo! :P

Undo

22:47

@hichris123 Yup, AWS gives passwordless sudo to the ubuntu user

hichris123

@Undo 54.236.239.138/close.php

Undo

@hichris123 No worky. Have you knocked down the firewall for port 80?

Use 0.0.0.0 to allow anyone

hichris123

@Undo Oh, I get it. I didn't allow your ip.

I'll do all traffic.

Try it now @Undo.

Undo

@hichris123 Yay it worky!

Eeek, I hate that number.

Makes we want to go review them :P

hichris123

Heh. :P

@Undo That's the point. :P

Undo

22:50

How'd you get it? Loading /review and scraping it?

hichris123

Yeah.

Undo

So I could get you IP banned by reloading that page really fast ;)

hichris123

<?php
require('simple_html_dom.php');
//echo "The php file works! </br>";

$html = file_get_html('http://stackoverflow.com/review/close/stats');

$closeitems  = $html->find('a.review-stats-count');
foreach($closeitems as $item)
    $closeitem = $item->plaintext;
echo "<strong> " . $closeitem . " </strong> questions in the close vote queue";
?>

@Undo If you wanted to go to that much trouble. :P

Undo

I don't :P

hichris123

I'm going to make this into a cronjob. :P Recording how many questions are in the queue.

Undo

22:52

@hichris123 Now do a sudo vim /var/log/apache2/access.log

My IP should be in there somewhere.

@hichris123 Good idea.

I wonder if reviewing is somewhere in API 2.2?

hichris123

@Undo Meh, I doubt it.

Undo

Yeah, probably not :P

hichris123

@Undo Yeah, you want me to remove all IP's and just add yours?

Undo

@hichris123 Nah, doesn't matter.

My IP is dynamic anyway.

And since you don't have a domain name, you aren't going to get any other visitors unless they guess your IP.

Which won't happen.

hichris123

Wait a sec, I don't have your ip.

Undo

22:55

Eh?

Should be at the bottom

hichris123

All are my IP.

Undo

Eh?

What's your ISP?

hichris123

Brighthouse.

Undo

Ah, so we're not coming out the same endpoint or something

Although that would be cool

hichris123

Yeah, so I know none are yours since they're all Windows NT thingys.

Undo

22:58

Huh

hichris123

And they all have my Chrome dev version number.

Undo

Mine should show up

hichris123

Okay, could you go to 54.236.239.138/undoisamazing ?

Undo

There

hichris123

Nothing: maybe it takes a while to show up?

I don't know.

Undo

23:00

I dunno

Weird

hichris123

It is weird.

Undo

I must be immune to Apache logs!

hichris123

Heh, nice try. :P

No, I'm not showing up if I go to any page like /thispage.html.

Undo

Weird

hichris123

@Undo 54.236.239.138/close.csv

Undo

23:25

@hichris123 Neato!

hichris123

Now it should fingers crossed run every 5 minutes @Undo.

Undo

@hichris123 Sounds good

Cronjob?

hichris123

Yep.

How can I make that file automagically go to S3 @Undo?

Undo

@hichris123 There's an uploader app thingy, lemme find it.

hichris123

Okay.

Undo

23:29

@hichris123 linux.com/learn/tutorials/…

^ Good start

and s3tools.org/s3cmd, @hichris123

hichris123

Thanks. :P

Undo

;)

hichris123

Me likes AWS a lot!

Undo

Yay!

I does too
