LOL

It gets confusing when English is not your mother tongue!

@ThomasWard LOL!

@Fabby "A wise man knows that confidentiality equals profit."

Later all xxx

Starred!

@CristianaNicolae :D

@Zanna Ciao!

:)

At least that one is international! (Ciao)

Fetching another drink! BRB

and now that I'm at it: a smoke as well...

@ThomasWard Really? Have you ever watched the animated series???

@Fabby We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your star wall and culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

Starred! (that was an open door you just kicked in) ;-)

@Fabby That's the only one I don't call canon completely. Was not my favorite to watch.

@ThomasWard Hey! Now I see taht we were both reading on the same webpage! :-)

@ThomasWard But the list of writes on that one!

disliked Enterprise more though, Hey we should go to scifi&fantasy if we're gonna start talking Trek :p

:D Like this room has ever been about Ubuntu???

:P

Normally: General discussion around Ask Ubuntu, Ubuntu & official Ubuntu derivatives. For other Linux distros... (emphasis mine)

We had Oli change that...

You were around when that happened, no?

probably

sportsmanship is neutral, no?

but wasn't mod when that change happened

5 years, yeah!

So what are you up to nowadays?

still studying?

@WinEunuuchs2Unix you can make one

and set up a SMS api to actually send a text to you

Callfire has a decent API for this sort of thing (DISCLAIMER: I worked there so bias. Twilio and a few others are also good)

What happened to email2SMS?

we used to have that on our exchange server 20 years ago

(I can imagine email2FAX isn't used much any more nowadays)

@ThomasWard BTW; at what level can anyone see removed messages in chat (without going to the google cache, of course)

@Fabby In my mother tongue, saying about a man that he is a "nurse" can get hilarious. Because the word for "nurse" has also the meaning of "sister". So, imagine how it sounds: "- I have a brother who's a nurse/sister at the hospital..."

Mersi!

Now I can use that with the support team of one of our customers!

(they're located in Bucharest)

@Fabby diamond mod.

if i remember right at least

@ThomasWard Ah...

can't room owners do that as well?

i seem to remember they can/could at one point

I'd have to ask someone.

chat permissions layout is substantially different than site perms

i just checked

Room Owners can see deleted messages.

@CristianaNicolae I shall use "you should nurse that" instead of "babysit" from now on!

Anything else that sounds funny / gross in Romanian that is just plain in English?

(I try to keep these people laughing because everyone else is treating them like shit and I'm always very polite and funny)

like:

Dear Hell desk,

Mersi!

Could you please ask the powers that be...

(located in Germany, they're just between a rock and a hard place)

After about 10 emails, I got feed-back from the customer that everyone in Bucharest was disappointed that I did not show up for their training before go-live...

They kept asking everyone about this "Fabby" guy and were he was!

:D :D :D

@Fabby What kind of drink did you get? I need to know what to avoid :p

None yet! Fetching some Captain Cook & Coke!

@NathanOsman I think George should make a serious video

I have a bottle of German Reisling wine chilling

Explaining the Dyn attack to your Grandmother

Weird how the Dyn attack came out the day after the "Dirty COW" security patch.

Completely unrelated.

Yes I know they are unrelated. It's weird they happened together... Security news only comes out once or twice a year to me.

i hate heavy furniture

i hate explaining tech concepts to people

people buy crap because pretty. when it comes to moving it, oshiz, it's too heavy

oh god

ATT is going to own HBO

@WinEunuuchs2Unix You're German?

who cares about HBO. As long as they don't buy YouTube, it's irrelevant

@Serg More people!

@Fabby Canadian and beer drinker most of year... just today I had an urge for some wine and picked that one.

:D

@Fabby tell that to my parents.

I live in Germany now because of the new job.

@Serg Give me their Skype address!

@Serg I can't see google selling youtube it's a cash cow, not to mention the data they collect on people and viewing habits.

(sorry: probably phonenumber)

:D

my dad's barely handling chromebook, and you're asking skype ? you're overestimated them

Yeah, corrected myself right thereafter!

@KazWolfe where is WolfBot now?

@MarkYisri Upgrades

Does multiple-room support work yet?

not yet

what's he programmed in?

Python

Urgh!

Positional language like COBOL

I hate positional languages!

You can see his source code here:

github.com/KazWolfe/WolfBot-SE

Gimme C any time of the day.

@Fabby I prefer C as well.

"You may not use OpenID at this time -- you must use an e-mail address through SE's login system"

----^ that's when I stopped reading...

That's okay: just make a Gmail address

@MarkYisri yeah, though no compilers handle the register pragma any more nowadays...

True, but ARM uses it anyway (AAPCS standard, r0-r3 are argument registers).

@MarkYisri nah! I like OpenID

@MarkYisri still today?

which compiler?

Yes. A disassembly of ARM code will easily show this.

GCC

impressed

Yep. makes it real easy to call C functions from assembly, because you just write the registers with the values.

gcc still handles register?

I thought they removed it as well...

Yes, but the token itself is ignored. It is just a standard thing.

for ARM

well, I'm that old: I started with assembler...

@Fabby got to go now. Maybe we'll talk more another day?

@Fabby Cu plăcere! (You're welcome!) Well, your question is quite complex and I'll have to answer to that tomorrow.. Errr.. I mean today but a lot later! Because now here is 1:23 AM! One thing I can tell you tough.Many people having now around 35 years old can remember the cartoon Captain Planet and the Planeteers, as it was quite en vogue in those times. From that cartoon, a certain English expression was adopted by people. It's about the urge: "Go Planet!" used as a friendly encouragement.

then PASCAL

Good bye, people!

@CristianaNicolae Cool!

Thanks!

Good night and sweet dreams!

I need a refill.

@Fabby Thanks!

@KazWolfe Hmm... it could still be a humorous explanation though.

That might be cool, though it won't work this time.

I don't have the time to do that in the near future.

Too busy making money?

I'm moving well over a dozen services to a new server.

All will run in Docker and it's going to be awesome.

Urgh!

I've already moved 6 or 7 of them.

All in Docker? Impressed

I'm using docker-compose to link them.

(and the Urgh was about "tedious job")

It is a bit tedious. I'm running all of them through Traefik instead of Nginx.

The benefit - automatic SSL termination and certificate creation with Let's Encrypt.

googling Traefik

All I have to do to add a new website is add a few lines to a file describing the container and Traefik will connect to it and generate an SSL certificate for it.

And it never needs to be restarted either.

Træfɪk is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer made to deploy microservices with ease. It supports several backends (Docker, Swarm, Mesos/Marathon, Consul, Etcd, Zookeeper, BoltDB, Rest API, file...) to manage its configuration automatically and dynamically.

impressive

Yup, it will automatically create routes based on the containers currently running in Docker.

I've also started contributing patches to the program.

I've got some ideas for the dashboard.

Just being here in the chat talking to you teaches me a lot!

(we were recently bought by them)

Interesting stuff...

(especially I now work at the cloud division of forementioned company)

How active is this room?

Sometimes very active sometimes slow

OK.

Since /dev/chat is not always active can I ask general Linux questions here?

@ThomasWard floodpings Borg hive cyberbrain from my toster IoT army for the lulz

They might be applicable to Ubuntu

@DmitryKudriavtsev Da, sprashivai

:)

ok spasibo

@Serg collective mind of fifty billion Borg defends and initiates counterstrike with much more powerful computing power

@ThomasWard buys more tosters

So I'm trying to get avahi-daemon working to resolve local DNS names

Borg computer virus tracks to source of attack, deploys Borg Cubes for assimilation and assault on source @Serg

Currently I've started the service, edited /etc/nsswitch.conf to add mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return], and rebooted.

@ThomasWard swings toasters at Borg Cubes strapped with C4

Then tried to access raspberrypi.local (another computer on the network). It does not resolve. However, on another computer with the same configuration it resolves.

@Serg lol that doesn't help xD

@Serg davai davai

@DmitryKudriavtsev hmmm, maybe you've missed something in the config on this machine ? Did you disable dnsmasq on the other one that works ?

dnsmasq? never seen anything about that

Mkay . . . so it's probably not that . . .

looks pretty cool though, thanks for mentioning

linking ? I dodn't link anything , only mentioned . . .

@ThomasWard did you hijack my account to be linking stuff ?

huh?

Joking

@DmitryKudriavtsev look at your /etc/nsswitch.conf again

# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.

passwd:         compat
group:          compat
shadow:         compat

hosts:          files myhostname mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
networks:       files

does it have dns word there ?

mine has mdns4 at the end after dns

# Begin /etc/nsswitch.conf

passwd: files
group: files
shadow: files

publickey: files

hosts: files mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname
networks: files

protocols: files
services: files
ethers: files
rpc: files

netgroup: files

# End /etc/nsswitch.conf

on 14.04

hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

(just as a consideration if you have dns in there already)

Not running 14.04

@DmitryKudriavtsev point.missed = true

16.04 here . . . I doubt order matters, but the mdns4_minimal part looks kind of important

I just posted my whole config.

try to change that

The official wiki for my distro says to use mdns_minimal

# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.

passwd:         compat
group:          compat
shadow:         compat

hosts:          files myhostname mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
networks:       files

wut

it posted only half ?

protocols:      db files
services:       db files
ethers:         db files
rpc:            db files

netgroup:       nis

There, the other part ^

goo.gl/ExDllo

hmmm,well, i've no idea

:(

wtf. the pi has a link local address

shit

@DmitryKudriavtsev link local or "168.254.*" self-assigned address?

second one

I had some pi's grouped together without a router and this was on eof them

gosh proxy takes forever to load

what kind of proxy?

HTTP

Also . . . we've got a problem . . . hidemyasss proxylist returns blank

urgh

http proxies are useless

pretty much everything is https now

have you tried getting a vps and using ssh tunneling?

nope. I just need an http proxy to get chinese websites, which my unversity blocks

Don't need nothing extreme

OK.

are the websites mostly static?

um . . . . i don't think so . . . those are blog/news sites

stuff like sina , netease, 163.com

I meant do they use a lot of AJAX?

Eeek!

No idea honestly

Try proxy.dkudriavtsev.xyz

@ByteCommander ???

username is username with password password

Just had a kernel panic on boot.

lol

I'll check it out once i'm on campus again , thanks :)

raises an eyebrow

Next reboot luckily went normal though.

@Serg can you try going to it now?

@ByteCommander be nice to your kernel, don't make it panic

@DmitryKudriavtsev he's not on campus

so 'going to it now' won't help

I know.

I'll try to.

:) meh

no, just to test if it;s accessible at all from his location

I'm a bit concerned about what's going on with hidemyhass proxylist right now

are they too underattack ?

Hm??

@Serg probably all's under attack

or already being filtered by your ISP/university

I can't access it

so \it may be on their end

O_o

I find VPNs more effective than just SOCKS proxies :)

What's the difference?

<--- doesn't know much about VPNs
