Q: Rate Limiting Individual URL Requests

I have a Flask application I’m developing that relies heavily on external website interaction and is initiated by the end-user. If I leave the application without any sort of bandwidth control/rate limiting then this application may be abused by actors with nefarious intentions. My goal is a ...

Fellow Windows users (if there are any here): never underestimate the power of a disk defrag. Mine said it was 2% fragmented, I ran the optimization, and now my computer is like 3x as fast

Journeyman Geek

@Zacharee1 0_0

Windows automatically runs defrag now

and the stock defrag is actually not that efficient

Zacharee1

12:49 AM

@JourneymanGeek Well it never did a good one on my machine and it seemed to work rather well :p

My computer actually works when I'm running FTB and I'm so happy!

I always use defraggler for defragging Windows drives.

Has a much nicer UI.

Journeyman Geek

I have an old copy of jkdefrag, light, fast, does what it says on the tin.

Seth

@JourneymanGeek btw, I'm going to have to reinstall windows on a family member's computer soon (thanks a lot windows update...). What software do you use to mass reinstall apps?

Journeyman Geek

Newer versions are heavier and don't run well on the worst machines.

@Seth ninite or chocolatey.

Seth

besides chocolatey. I believe there was a nirsoft program?

ah, ninite. That's what it was. Thanks!

Journeyman Geek

I want to switch to chocolatey but ninite is just too darned simple ;p

It dosen't cover everything I need tho

but most of its there

Seth

2:56 AM

I usually keep chocolatey around for things that I want to install afterwards, since powershell is docked in my taskbar.

Journeyman Geek

Amusingly, it does contain everything one of my "family" build needs

except backup

Seth

Nice and easy. Right click -> run as admin -> choco install <whatever> and then back to whatever I was doing.

@NathanOsman Hi, may I ask a docker question ?

Merry Christmas by the way

Nathan Osman

3:05 AM

Same to you.

Sure. I'm mobile though.

Serg

Ok. Well basic idea: I installed docker, pulled minecraft server repo. When I try to run the command: docker run -d -p 25565:25565 --name mc itzg/minecraft-server it throws the following error

(RaspberryPi2)ubuntu@localhost:~$ docker run -d -p 25565:25565 --name mc itzg/minecraft-server
FATA[0000] Error response from daemon: Conflict. The name "mc" is already in use by container 271d6f58b0d8. You have to delete (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.
(RaspberryPi2)ubuntu@localhost:~$

Mateo

can you call it mc2?

Serg

@Mateo how would i do that ? Um . . . I installed docker literally 1.5 hours ago

So . . . noobing around :)

Mateo

try "--name mc2" see what happens, I don't know anything about it, let's see what happens

Journeyman Geek

My guess would be there's already a container called mc...

midnight commander maybe?

@JourneymanGeek there shouldn't be no other containers. This is the first one I pulled

Mateo

try it ;P

Journeyman Geek

@Serg in the repos?

Serg

@JourneymanGeek yeah, from that itzg/minecraft-server repo

Journeyman Geek

I mean any repo

Serg

interesting

is there a command to stop containers

I still haven't seen them, but I've read all the spoilers on 4chan. Dumbledore wont make it into hogwards

I wasn't a fan. It seemed like a replay. "Yo, let's blow up another death star...."

By the way, did you guys know that Bonjovi used to work as cleaner or something at a recording studio where some kind of Star Wars recording was produced ?

did not know, but it doesn't surprise me

well, it does say delete or rename

cool article about the holochess: tested.com/starwars/…

hbdgaf

I wanted to like it, I really did. I liked that they didn't go episode 1 full tons of creatures in every scene and made it feel more real mostly, but it just felt recycled instead of like anew movie. Hopefully they'll find something new for 8

Journeyman Geek

3:29 AM

@hbdgaf funny thing is, that's the worst I've heard about it

hbdgaf

@JourneymanGeek Yeah. I mean, I watched it and didn't hate it. It just felt like a repeat. I didn't want my 2 hours back, but I was disappointed.

Mateo

so, did you see the independence day preview?

hbdgaf

no, but i'll look it up

Journeyman Geek

@Mateo ID4 2 and deadpool are on my list of movies not to watch until I'm sure I won't be dissapointed ;p

Mateo

lol

probably another nostalgia trip

hbdgaf

3:41 AM

New tech in ID2, so that will keep me interested. I'm not a Deadpool comic reader, so it would be hard for me to be disappointed in the movie.

Serg

3:54 AM

OK, so by default docker ps shows running containers. I don't have it running after all

@HeatherBrown I'm probably gonna do that if I fail with docker. Merry Christmas by the way

Like,maybe daemons aren't shown?

Serg

Actually it does show something with docker ps -a, but I don't know what that means

user139252

I honestly have no idea. I've never used docker, like I said, so I don't really know what it is or how it works

Serg

@HeatherBrown It's my first time with docker as well. What i understand is that it's like virtual machine and apt-get fused together

Journeyman Geek

@Serg erg

Serg

4:56 AM

erg ?

Journeyman Geek

That's a horrible way to describe it.

docker is basically a container based VM front end, with the idea of running each process in its own jail.

Serg

Well, what can I say. I'm a n00b in that department, so far that's how I understand it

Journeyman Geek

so your 'package manager' is a way to get images

but the shiny thing is with a bit of cleverness, you don't need to worry about how to package and setup an application

Which IMO is lazy, since I consider setup documentation essential for a useful self hosted application

Serg

agreed

Journeyman Geek

also, don't you need to explicitly open up ports for a container?

Serg

4:59 AM

Yes, i suppose. i was trying to follow the instructions on the container's hub page, but the very first command fails me

user139252

Just use headless Raspbian :p

Journeyman Geek

;p

Serg

Probably I eventually will do that :/

Journeyman Geek

@HeatherBrown I need to set that up on my pi 1 again

user139252

@JourneymanGeek I have a pre-made image of it set up to run as a VPN server if you want

Journeyman Geek

5:04 AM

@HeatherBrown Naw, I roll my own typically. I just need to figure out what I want to do with it

Serg

gonna try to pull another docker image

kitematic/minecraft

hopefully that works

Journeyman Geek

and I have terribad luck with most sd card boots, so I need to hang it off my powered hub and probably use a USB key for storage

(I have a proper linux install for actual worky stuff)

Mateo

oh, @Seth I emptied my trash and it didn't open nautilus today

Journeyman Geek

by which I mean a hypothetical VPN, vms, etc

Seth

@Mateo oh really?

Mateo

5:06 AM

on my 14.04

was the bug before or after that

Serg

I think I've started going a little bit overboard with linux installs. Today i met my friend's friends, and their kid was like "Oh, i've a broken computer at home",so I immediately was like "Can I see it ? Maybe I can install Ubuntu on it"

Mateo

hm, now I have to dig out my laptop

Seth

@Mateo oh. I think it was after, but let me check

user139252

@Serg do you need to open a port on the Pi, point it at the docker vm?

Mateo

@Serg yeah, I have about 20 of those in the crawlspace...

Seth

5:08 AM

Oh neat, I didn't have time to do the necessary digging after it turned out to be much much deeper of an issue, but it looks like Treninho released a fix for Xenial @Mateo

cc @kos --^

Serg

@HeatherBrown Em . . . I don't know

Seth

> This bug was fixed in the package nautilus - 1:3.18.2-1ubuntu1

anyways, I've off to bed. g'night!

Mateo

nice

Serg

The main issue with Docker on the Pi 2 (and on ARM more generally), is that the vast majority of images on DockerHub are for x86, and therefore will not work on ARM. For the Pi, the best bet is to search for images containing the text rpi or armhf. Again, some indicative Docker commands are given below.

The "Ooooooh" moment

That was from here by the way

user139252

Yeah,that's probably it :p

On a completely different note , there is a wikipedia page about cat communication. Basically , I just googled meow and that came up

I always thought cat communications consisted mainly of demands to be fed peasant, and disdainful glares?

@JourneymanGeek that pretty much sums it up, but there's variations on the theme

Good morning :)

Hello @Serg ! Did you receive the mail ? :)

@cl-netbox good morning to you too ! Thank you for the notecard ! It's is wonderful. I used to draw,too. I probably should start again some time

cl-netbox

@Serg What's the health percentage today ? :)

Serg

@cl-netbox well, pretty much 100% ^_^ I'm quite happy today for multiple reasons

cl-netbox

@Serg nice to hear this ! :) I could need some percent to feel better ... =)

Serg

8:33 AM

@cl-netbox hopefully that percentage will make you feel better ^_0 Keep up the good work ! I am glad there is someone on askubuntu answering a lot of Nvidia stuff

cl-netbox

@Serg yes indeed - it does feel better now (HaHaHa) - thank you my friend ... and don't forget the boot stuff ! ... please tell me about the multiple reasons why you are happy today @Serg :)

Serg

@cl-netbox Today I went to my friend's house (because yesterday I forgot my phone, and because I promised her sister in law's son to come set up Raspberry Pi for him ). So I met a quite pretty girl there ^_^ Also, I have started using docker. Pity, those don't work on Raspberry. I need to figure out why

Also because I've had nice christmas dinner with my family

cl-netbox

@Serg ah sounds nice - now I understand ... the girl, something serious ?

Serg

Nope, just a quite pretty girl, who has common friends with me

cl-netbox

@Serg why do you use docker - what is the REAL advantage - the sandboxing ?

Serg

8:45 AM

@cl-netbox um . . .I started using a docker because I installed Ubuntu Snappy on Raspberry, and snappy doesn't have apt-get. It's different. Actually, I didn't really know what docker was till I started using it today. The advantage is supposed to be that it's like virtual machine with a package manager combined. Problem is Raspberry is still not perfect, apparently many docker apps have to be for AMD64 architecture

That's why I think my minecraft server doesn't work there

Honestly, I never really know what i am doing.

cl-netbox

@Serg :D

Serg

I still don't know why i started usign Ubuntu. One day i just skipped class , because i was unhappy,and went to my uni's library, installed ubuntu, and that's how it all started

cl-netbox

@Serg I started with ubuntu because I was curious about the difference and advantages compared to Windows. :)

Serg

@cl-netbox that''s a reasonable reason ^_^

cl-netbox

@Serg I am using ubuntu since 7.10 gutsy (2007) and switched to use it as main OS 2 years ago ... I am very happy with ubuntu :)

intex

8:53 AM

@Fabby Merry Christmas Fabby

Serg

@cl-netbox I started about 2 years ago . And on askubuntu about for 1.5 years. Now I am glad i did install my first version, 13.10 . I've learned so much since then

cl-netbox

@Serg yes you learned VERY much as we can see from your many great answers ! :) - is ubuntu your main system as well ?

intex

@Serg Did you try your hands on Windows 10,Is it better or same Win 8

Serg

@cl-netbox yes. I've switched to SSD in August of this year, and now there's only Ubuntu 14.04 there. I still have HDD attached to my laptop with Windows 7

@intex Win 10 is pretty but underneath it still seems the same as Windows 8. Minus all the failed start menu stuff

@cl-netbox i keep windows mostly for software reasons - i need couple of software packages for my university classes. Also lots and lots of old photos.

cl-netbox

@Serg I have 15.10 on SSD as main OS - blazingly fast - I dropped Windows completely (pure spyware today) - I only have W10 Enterprise LTSB eval in VM for support purposes, when Win users need help ... :)

Serg

9:02 AM

@cl-netbox i keep windows mostly for software reasons - i need couple of software packages for my university classes. Also lots and lots of old photos.

cl-netbox

@Serg first argument is reasonable but second ? Do you not store personal stuff on a separate partition ?

Serg

@cl-netbox nope. my partitions are kind of filling up, so I just keep everything as is

/home/xieerqi
$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1       110G   65G   41G  62% /

There's also /dev/sdb5 partition with like . . .65% use . .

but i don;t auto mount it

cl-netbox

@Serg I strongly recommend to store everything not system related on separate partitions ! :)

Serg

@cl-netbox I guess I could try that next week or so. I am on vacation right now until 21st of january :)

cl-netbox

@Serg : my setup :
sda1 - data - ntfs
sda2 - media - ntfs
sda3 - rescue - ntfs (backups)
sda4 - system - ntfs (iso-files / VMs)

sdb1 - efi - fat32 (boot-GRUB)
sdb2 - swap
sdb3 - ext4 - ubuntu

Serg

9:11 AM

Interesting, so you don't just keep files on separate partitions, you also have partitions for specific types of files

cl-netbox

@Serg yes - so I am completely flexible ... and I can add other OSes without generating any problems on part table

Serg

9:34 AM

@cl-netbox Well, it was very nice chatting with you again. I have to go get some sleep

I want to mount a partition so that all the files and dir in that partition belong to specific user

kos

@edwardtorvalds Filesystem? If it's ext* you can't to that

edward torvalds

so on which fs I can do that?

kos

@edwardtorvalds I believe any filesystem whose permissions are not supported by Linux, but for sure FAT*, vFAT and NTFS

edward torvalds

@kos you mean the original permission and ownership is preserved?

kos

10:09 AM

@edwardtorvalds Yes. There's no way to override that AFAIK

edward torvalds

ok

kos

@edwardtorvalds Unless of course by chwoning the whole drive, but I don't think you want that.

edward torvalds

@kos ah you know why I am having this problem? today I reformatted my external hard drive from ntfs to xfs. thanks got the point :-)

of course, ntfs does not support linux permission and ownership

@edwardtorvalds Dunno how to deal with that. Never used / learned about XFS.

you should

async is the opposite of sync, which is rarely used. async is the default, you don't need to specify that explicitely. The option sync means that all changes to the according filesystem are immediately flushed to disk; the respective write operations are being waited for. For mechanical drives...

Merry Christmas @JacobVlijm!

@JacobVlijm I think the OP means on gnome-terminal should be in english and rest maybe in his native langauge

kos

@edwardtorvalds Obviously. Do you know what "playing along" means? :)

edward torvalds

kos

@edwardtorvalds I'm kind of, but @terdon uses Arch as his primary OS AFAIK.

terdon

Yes, I'm on Arch but I can't hang around I'm afraid.

Try posting a question on Unix & Linux.

I recently moved to arch and have not looked back for around a month

(i hope you guys wont kick me out of this chat :-)

basically because Ubuntu is fat

terdon

Anyway, I have to go help my nephew set up his new mouse. Later all.

edward torvalds

terdon

Jacob Vlijm

11:06 AM

@edwardtorvalds what message?

edward torvalds

the image I posted here

kos

@edwardtorvalds No, but it was either a moderator or multiple 10K+ users who voted to delete it after it was flagged.

edward torvalds

ok

Rinzwind

11:43 AM

@kos dont think 10k+ can do anything in chat :P

kos

@Rinzwind Hey! We can review flags! :P

terdon

12:02 PM

Oh, damn. Wrong day! We get a hat for starred chats on new year's. :(

@fossfreedom It let me find out that apparently, we can't migrate migrated questions. In case this happens to you, you need to clear the migration history, then migrate. Silly UI.

Good morning and merry Christmas!

Mateo

Morning!

Christmas!!

so, someone got me a intel compute stick - will have to return it for the ubuntu version though

L. D. James

Good Morning... Merry Christmas.

Can someone tell me if it's possible for someone with sufficient reputation can create a room and invite a new user having problems to the room to resolve the problems. The new user only has a reputation of 1.

Mateo

only a mod

I think it only works if they have 100 rep on any one site - then you can use the feature to allow someone with low rep to be invited

L. D. James

Okay... Thanks. One last question. Can you give me a link where I could ask this type of question in the future and not interrupt (possible disturb) and unrelated discussion such as I might have done here?

Mateo

this is the right place don't worry about interrupting here

L. D. James

3:01 PM

Thanks again, Mateo. I understand it. I'm sure it's a good rule to give new users incentive to grow with the system through participation of merit.

Thanks!

Mateo

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas everyone!

(Although people here celebrated that yesterday already...)

Hi, anyone here ?

Mateo

EgyptBeast

uhhh..

okay :) Merry xmas first.

I am a low rep. user who wants to put a comment, is it possible ?

If not, can anyone (hopefully with some free time) to see what's wrong in this answer:

A: Sort files in directory by creation date(Birth)

My previous answer was began with this wrong statement: Linux does not store file creation time Yes - Linux kernel does not provide API to get creation time stamps from file system. But as it is written in wiki ext4 provide file creation timestamps: ext4 also adds support for date-created ...

cl-netbox

3:58 PM

@EgyptBeast Hello and merry Xmas ! :) you need 50 reputation to comment.

EgyptBeast

Aha yes. It seems so.

Thanks, cl-netbox.

cl-netbox

@EgyptBeast You're welcome ! :)

EgyptBeast

If anyone is willing to help, this line: <fs=$(df --output=source "${target}" | tail -1)> in the script generates an error ("no --output argument) or something like that.

The post is marked as an answer, so am I missing something ?

cl-netbox

@EgyptBeast : I would like to do so, but unfortunately I can't - but I ping my friends @A.B. or @terdon - they most certainly will be able to help you with this. :)

EgyptBeast

Thank you. I appreciate your help :)

@EgyptBeast Today is Christmas, so they might not be online - but when you sign in, they will get notified because of the @ - and when they reply you will get notified as well. So when you want to speak to someone personally, always set @ in front of the user name. :)
