I ask because I get error popups from my system on bootup or if I reconnect to a wifi network... I will get the error/resource when it happens again

I have a Raid 1 array rebuilding after a simulated failure in a new NAS. Is it safe for me to begin transferring my data to it before the recovery completes?

I'm using mdadm with soft raid.

Henry White Hat Hacker

@TheBrownOne No offense but are you well!?

@hbdgaf Hello :)

Popping in and out. Working on some stuff and have an early day tomorrow (4AM EDT)

user139252

@HenryWhiteHatHacker what do you mean by well?

user139252

@john01dav I would let it finish just to be safe

Henry White Hat Hacker

Well if two people of the same gender are on a date or married that will be.

@HenryWhiteHatHacker You would probably break down of you really knew me, so I'll spare you the knowledge :p

Henry White Hat Hacker

@TheBrownOne I don't want to get block!

Journeyman Geek

I have noooo idea why he constantly complains about that.

@RPiAwesomeness :(

How're you abusing it? ;p

@john01dav preferably no

RPi Awesomeness

@JourneymanGeek Hardly, all I want to do is set up a virtual host and it's not working :P

Journeyman Geek

Oh

I got that working

RPi Awesomeness

00:58

aka, subsite.mainsite.com

I can't get subsite to work

mainsite works fine

Or subdomain

user139252

@onebree the little button on the side, is it glowing?

RPi Awesomeness

Subdomain is what I want actually

hbdgaf

Italian Job I don't do dogs, I had a bad experience

user139252

Any reason for using lighttpd as opposed to Apache or nginx? @RPiAwesomeness

RPi Awesomeness

@TheBrownOne It's on a Pi. I don't need the features of Apache or nginx and it's lighter

@RPiAwesomeness are you using a wildcard for the main domain?

RPi Awesomeness

@JourneymanGeek Nope

john01dav

@TheBrownOne @JourneymanGeek

Thanks for the info

Journeyman Geek

@RPiAwesomeness no $HTTP["host"] ?

Serg

@RPiAwesomeness Apache ?

user139252

01:03

@RPiAwesomeness alright, I'll see what I can dig up then

RPi Awesomeness

@JourneymanGeek No

@Serg Yeah, it's on a Pi, so lighter is better & don't need the features

user139252

@Serg no, he's using a pi and doesn't need any fancy features

Journeyman Geek

@RPiAwesomeness try copying my blocks for the lupinenet domains

test is lighttpd as a proxy, though I need to see if I can get webhooks working

hbdgaf

I still like nginx over lighthttpd, but to each their own.

user139252

Even though I run multiple Apache hosts on a single pi with no issue :p

Serg

01:04

One says yeah, another no. Wut ?

Journeyman Geek

@hbdgaf quite honestly? Lighttpd has a really easy to read syntax and I was running it on a 128mb vps before so.... it wasn't broke. I didin't fix it.

hbdgaf

@JourneymanGeek fair enough. I wasn't trying to make a case or anything - I just like routines.

Journeyman Geek

@hbdgaf I'm thinking of switching actually

easier letsencrypt support and webhook capable proxying seem tasty features

user139252

@RPiAwesomeness Did you take a look here?

RPi Awesomeness

@TheBrownOne Yeah

hbdgaf

01:06

@JourneymanGeek nginx gets easier to read when you get used to it.

Journeyman Geek

@hbdgaf yeah, bit of technical debt there since I want to get some flavour of config management up too

hbdgaf

@JourneymanGeek you'ld think a juju charm would be floating around for that

RPi Awesomeness

@JourneymanGeek paste.ubuntu.com/15701976

Still not working :/

user139252

This talks about SSL, but could work if you change 443 to 80?

user139252

Looks like it uses an else statement to discern subdomains

Journeyman Geek

01:13

Hmm. Wildcard taking presidence?

RPi Awesomeness

@JourneymanGeek Maybe?

But if I remove that I still have the issue

hbdgaf

No experience with lighthttpd, but this line looks broken:
$HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|\.)rpiawesomeness\.me$" {

RPi Awesomeness

But the weird thing is that that's the working one

And I've seen it like that before, so I know it's not broken

hbdgaf

Mixing parens and escaping without parens just seems odd to me. It's the other host that isn't working?

RPi Awesomeness

Yup

hbdgaf

01:18

Then add the slashes before the dots there too

$HTTP["host"] == "33rd\.rpiawesomeness\.me" {
would make that config file feel right

RPi Awesomeness

No luck

hbdgaf

Eh, was worth a shot. The difference just felt wrong to me...

RPi Awesomeness

Yeah. I'm looking into nginx now

user139252

Nginx might be better, yeah

RPi Awesomeness

Grr...not even nginx is working >:(

hbdgaf

01:28

@RPiAwesomeness You couldn't have apt-get installed and written a config file that fast.

RPi Awesomeness

@hbdgaf I was already working on it when I typed that

Plus, I just edited the default config

   server {
        listen  80;
        server_name 33rd.rpiawesomeness.me;

        location / {
                root /home/alarm/33rdSite;
                index index.html;
        }
    }

Does that look right?

SQuirel

hi

hbdgaf

basically. did you reload nginx to get it to re-read the conf

RPi Awesomeness

Yeah

I can see nginx is working, I'm getting the default nginx welcome page

hbdgaf

I was using django at the time, but this is what my conf looked like:

upstream django {
    server unix:/opt/webapps/torhiddenservice/run/gunicorn.sock fail_timeout=0;
    }

server {
    # the port your site will be served on
    listen      80;
    # the domain name it will serve for
    server_name "";
    charset     utf-8;
    access_log /opt/webapps/torhiddenservice/abraham/logs/nginx-access.log;
    error_log /opt/webapps/torhiddenservice/abraham/logs/nginx-error.log;

    client_max_body_size 75M;

    location /static/ {
        alias   /opt/webapps/torhiddenservice/abraham/abraham/static/;

RPi Awesomeness

01:36

Ugh. Why does this have to be complicated >.>

/me does not like web admin

user139252

You could always use Apache...

RPi Awesomeness

Oh. I just had a thought.

A records & stuff with domains ...

user139252

Redirect the sub domain to a folder in the main domain?

RPi Awesomeness

\o/

I forgot to add the A record for the subdomain :P

user139252

01:52

Shouldn't have affected local testing, but good!

RPi Awesomeness

I wasn't testing locally, I was testing on my server :P

hbdgaf

02:04

@RPiAwesomeness If it was a dns error you shouldn't have gotten the nginx page. I was going to suggest that as a problem, but you said you got a landing page

@HenryWhiteHatHacker not sure why I'd take offense. It's a TCL Roku

@HenryWhiteHatHacker Nope. Bleeding edge model here where I live.

Zacharee1

02:57

@kos oh shut up :p

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Can I have some help? I did sudo rm /etc/shadow.lock and now I can't login to any user account (or guest account). Is this fixable, or do I need to reinstall?

Zacharee1

@kos Italy's that behind the times, huh?

I mean, Greece is bankrupt, and its citizens have Apple Watches! :p

Oh my God, this TV is amazing so far

kos

@Zacharee1 No one appreciates rotary telephones anymore. :(

Zacharee1

@kos I like being able to confidently dial the correct number, thank you very much

kos

@Zacharee1 With a good rotary telephone is harder to make a mistake than with a smartphone.

Zacharee1

03:02

@kos Hence the almighty contact

@kos If you put your finger in the wrong hole by accident....

2

@Fabby go ahead and take that out of context ^

kos

@Zacharee1 But is it easier to put it into the wrong hole (@Fabby decontextualize this one as well) or to miss the right spot without a tactile feedback? (@Fabby)

Zacharee1

Well, tapping on a contact isn't so hard, and it's faster

kos

I agree. But you can't say rotary telephones aren't fascinating.

Zacharee1

Oh they are

My room has the weird four-hole plug, and I have the rotary to match

kos

What's that?

Zacharee1

03:08

kos

@Zacharee1 Oh.

Zacharee1

THIS ROKU IS AMAZING

da Boss

Roku?

You can have mine...

Zacharee1

wai

da Boss

I have upgraded to a Chromecast...

Zacharee1

03:12

I just got a TCL Roku Smart TV

It has a USB input, so I might eventually get a Chromecast for it...

For now I have a Blu-Ray player, an Apple TV, a VCR, a computer, Roku, Antenna TV, and, of course, WiDi streaming, if I can make it work on Windows 7

Blazing fast download of 500KB/s right now

Should be >4MB/s

da Boss

I have blu-ray, wii u, chromecast, cable tv, and a raspberry pi...

and sometimes a pc..

Zacharee1

I wish I had cable sometimes

Maybe you can give me your account, so I can login to the streaming services :p

da Boss

they don't offer streaming services...

our cable company just went fully digital last week...

Zacharee1

whoa

But channels like FOX and such provide streaming services. They just need a cable subscription account with those channels enabled

da Boss

Okay I should say it is very limited

Zacharee1

03:25

?

da Boss

their streaming services...

Zacharee1

yeah

idk why I'm even arguing this ;p

da Boss

Me neither...just know that cable companies are evil and stuck in the 1990's

Zacharee1

lol

I know that this TV is amazing

especially compared the to 60" projector monstrosity we had before

da Boss

I have a 40 inch tv and it barely fits in my living room...I need a bigger tv stand or something...

Zacharee1

03:30

Barely fits? o_O

da Boss

Well I mean...on the stand...

Zacharee1

I got lucky because 48" happened to be the perfect size for here

@daBoss ah

Did I mention this TV was $328?

da Boss

mine was like 250...

Zacharee1

But is it a 1080p Smart TV?

da Boss

1080p but not smart...it is pretty stupid...

Zacharee1

03:33

jus liek u

da Boss

infact I don't see how it could be any dumber...

Zacharee1

:)

da Boss

How can you claim I am stupid, you don't even know me :-(

Zacharee1

@daBoss what, is it just an LCD panel or something? ;p

@daBoss or do I? >:)

da Boss

LED...

Zacharee1

03:34

Wait, it's an LED panel?

da Boss

Yes it is LED

Zacharee1

noice

da Boss

@Zacharee1 what do you do for a living....

Zacharee1

I'm 16

da Boss

So you are a student...

Zacharee1

03:35

I go to school for a living :p

da Boss

that explains the arrogance....

Zacharee1

Whell!!

HWELL THEN

:)

I should probably go to sleep...

@TheBrownOne Wo sind Sie?

Yay, the HMDI control works with the BD player!

da Boss

@Zacharee1 yes you probably should...we wouldn't want a late night to stop you from doing your homework...

Zacharee1

That wasn't condescending at all...

da Boss

pay back for calling me stupid :-P

Zacharee1

03:42

:p

da Boss

Besides...I work at a school so I get to say things like that to students...

Zacharee1

Be glad you don't work at my school

We're very liberal

And Quaker, so

da Boss

My school gets more liberal every 3 minutes...

Zacharee1

You'll never catch up to here

We might abolish our dress code soon (no one follows it anyway)

da Boss

we never had a dress code...

(that I have noticed)

Zacharee1

03:46

wat

Oh, well most people at our school didn't even know we had a dress code

Which is weird, because they should have read it before they came...

da Boss

Yea they should...

Zacharee1

It was one of the requirements that we read the community handbook, which had the dress code init

Journeyman Geek

heh

most schools I went to had a uniform

cause this is singapore, and compliance is rewarded...

Zacharee1

fun

da Boss

it takes to long to publish apps to app stores...
