Idea for failover structure: Have a seperate script (implementing chatexchange) running on this room which initiates a full smokey copy to start when called via !!/failover

Undo

17:14

@Magisch Just build it into Smokey, and have metasmoke coordinate.

Otherwise you'll be unable to have multiple failover copies running

Magisch

^wouldn't that require smokey code to know which instance it's running on currently?

Undo

it already does

Everything has a unique metasmoke key

Magisch

ah well then

@DavidPostill for me, it still displays the names...

I'll check once I'm home, could be a couple of hours.

DavidPostill

@Glorfindel Hmm. Let me check my other chat extensions

Glorfindel

That one says is isn't autoflagged.

A red flag means it is.

DavidPostill

@Glorfindel Ah. Ok. Sorry. I haven't seen an autoflagged then since your update ...

@Glorfindel It's M.A.R.'s fault.

@Undo @ArtOfCode it looks like it's an Aurora problem so I'll nuke it after saving a few keys.

ESXi was up all night except for 30 seconds when there was a minor loss of connectivity due to Snort updating rulesets and bouncing the WAN connection briefly, but everything came back up quick

Thomas Ward

dead either way

Mark Yisri

@Thomas what's the difference between ESXi and Aurora?

Thomas Ward

@MarkYisri ESXi is a VM with 1GB RAM and 4 vCPUs on my ESXi vSphere cluster here at my apartment

Aurora is a VPS from RamNode

Mark Yisri

I see, so ESXi is local while Aurora is remote

Thomas Ward

for the most part, yes

though I can access either from anywhere (yay VPN to my apartment!) Aurora's easier to get to when I can't VPN

Magisch

@ThomasWard TFW you have a server cluster at your apartment

I'm sitting here with my single desktop pc

Mark Yisri

18:44

@Magisch me too (laptop) (no server cluster)

Thomas Ward

got my laptop, Daedalus (a desktop), a workstation converted to a server (ESXi server #1), and a server-from-parts (ESXi server #2). Network infrastructure is a pfSense appliance and switches and wifi across everywhere :P

NobodyNada

wow

Magisch

@ThomasWard Are you sure this is your apartment and not a data center

Thomas Ward

@Magisch 100% sure

sounds like a datacenter doesn't it :P

Magisch

It is a small datacenter

in your apartment

Thomas Ward

18:47

it's the guest room of my apartment

the second bedroom

converted to a tech room

Magisch

What are you running on it

Thomas Ward

but still a guest room :P

Magisch

besides smokey

Thomas Ward

@Magisch stuff

:P

Mark Yisri

@Magisch I think @Thomas has many deep, dark secrets

Magisch

18:49

Like voting fraud? Doubt it

Thomas Ward

how else would we explain the vast darkness of my brain :P

@Magisch he's referring to the vast array of ~~botnets~~ Ubuntu Servers and other utility servers I run

most of what's running on my system is test environments

or some websites

or servers that work for my entire network

like my GitLab server for instance

Mark Yisri

@ThomasWard Speaking of Gitlab, did you hear about the accident they had on January 31

Thomas Ward

doesn't affect self-hosted instances

but yes

Magisch

I guess someone got fired for that

NobodyNada

I read somewhere that no one got fired

ArtOfCode

18:55

Trashcan is private for a reason, @Mark, I can't grant you access.

NobodyNada

like, they had FAQs which explicitly stated that no one got fired

Thomas Ward

@ArtOfCode he wanted access to a private room? o.O

ArtOfCode

@ThomasWard lots of people do it

Thomas Ward

heh

Mark Yisri

@ArtOfCode can you tell me why? I wasn't trying to break it or anything, merely curious.

ArtOfCode

18:58

because reasons

Magisch

19:17

Art of code is mysterious and complex

or a grumpy CS student with a penchant for secrets

@ArtOfCode What do you do in your spare time? Besides code for SD

Jan Dvorak

@Glorfindel what's that userscript?

Undo

@Glorfindel We could build a websocket into MS that fires when something is autoflagged; that'd make it so you don't have to poll.

Just a thought

Glorfindel

@JanDvorak that's the one I worked on on Thursday: Autoflagging Information

Jan Dvorak

Thanks.

Glorfindel

@Undo yeah, that's an idea. But the userscript could also be extended to fetch more information from MS (like the weight).

@JanDvorak noted, good idea.

Jan Dvorak

What would be the TP rate if we caught arabic / non-latin usernames?

Glorfindel

@Undo would polling ever become a performance problem for MS?

Undo

@Glorfindel probably not. These are tiny requests

Although looking at the logs, there are some performance issues I could fix.

@Glorfindel No reason we couldn't push that down the websocket too

Glorfindel

20:05

@Undo OK, sounds good. Give me a week to learn how websockets work :)

Jan Dvorak

@Undo I'm mostly interested in deletions

Glorfindel

(I know the theory, but I have yet to implement one in practice)

Undo

@JanDvorak As in deletion logs? That could probably be done too

Jan Dvorak

Eh, you don't need a week for that

Undo

huh, fun fact. I never set up metasmoke nightlies.

Jan Dvorak

20:07

@Undo as in, mark reports when they're handled so that I know I don't need to visit them

@ThomasWard teward/ESXi

Thomas Ward

I think I'll leave Smokey running on the VM which seems to be more stable right now

probably has something to do with 16 vCPUs available on that server and the 24GB of RAM that system has. Oh and the lack of swap, but.. :P

Undo

heh, we ran it on a 256MB laptop for a year or so and it worked fine :P

Thomas Ward

21:14

:P

@Undo well that's the host system I'm talking about

and there's not a ton of VMs running on that (Only about 9), and with a lot of RAM available to these VMs, it's probably more stable than the KVM VPS

most of the other 18 VMs active are on the first of my ESXi systems. Failover is a pain unless I can figure out an iSCSI solution :P
