so apparently one of the ways in which compiling udis86 (a rather small project) can fail causes it to spew several megabytes of HTML to the terminal.

oh ew, kerberos

it's a great idea, but so few people use it that nobody so far made it easy to use

Michael Hampton

@DennisKaarsemaker Ever heard of Active Directory?

Dennis Kaarsemaker

I meant on linux

AD is miles ahead of that

Michael Hampton

@DennisKaarsemaker freeipa.org

Dennis Kaarsemaker

bookmarking for later reading

Michael Hampton

AD is still miles ahead of that, but not very many miles.

@DennisKaarsemaker @dawud is our local FreeIPA expert, I think.

Dennis Kaarsemaker

8:22 AM

hmm, seems to want to do it all itself instead of allowing one to stick it on top of an existing ldap. I just need kerberos.

dawud

@MichaelHampton I wouldn't say that much, but I'm happy to help whenever possible

Michael Hampton

@dawud Heh, thanks.. See what you make of this

dawud

@MichaelHampton you always find the weirdest bugs in SSSD :D

dawud

Clients credentials have been revoked

yeah, that

Michael Hampton

8:25 AM

Yeah, I can read... but I never locked out the host!

dawud

Is the host included in the appropriate HBAC rule?

Michael Hampton

@dawud I haven't even gotten that far... I only have the default allow_all HBAC rule.

dawud

there is a command to test HBAC, ipa-hbactest or something. It's interactive, IIRC.

give it a shot, you lose nothing and might spot something else

Q: How to discover devices other subnet

Printers like some thermal I have tried Bixolon and samsung laser printer ,even mikrotik router have a tool where they discover the device via its mac address.No matter what the ip is. And they discover it fast within seconds. How is this done ? So in case you lost the printer or router from bad ...

Falcon Momot

yawn

Journeyman Geek

ugh

much too tired for a sunday

/me had SM class today

Falcon Momot

that is a very odd class.

Cole

2:34 PM

@FalconMomot so jealous of your mohawk

I miss mine. :(

Falcon Momot

@Cole Lol! What happened to it?

bald?

Cole

@FalconMomot cut it off about 3+ years ago

Falcon Momot

they grow back ;)

Cole

Dear lord, no lol I have to get my haircut every 2 weeks because it grows back so fast

Hello dyslexia before coffee.

Falcon Momot

my boss likes it... a few people at google had them, too.

Cole

2:38 PM

@FalconMomot If I move to Seattle, I'll definitely grow it back

Falcon Momot

yeah, seattle is a special place, isn't it

Cole

I hear working at a defense contractor is pretty laid back as far appearance goes

Although, I haven't had much of an issue with my lobes.

Falcon Momot

they seem to be OK now

I just got mine to 5/8"

Cole

I usually just wear solid plugs to my interviews. I'm at 1/2"

Falcon Momot

also, the defense contractors in Calgary are very much not laid back, unfortunately

Cole

2:39 PM

Used to be up to 9/16" I've been stretching my lobes on and off for close to 12 years now.

Falcon Momot

that's probably twice as long as I've had them.

Cole

But I've had no blowouts, and my lobes are healthy

Falcon Momot

I don't understand how people get those, especially as badly as I've seen them

Cole

Mine will shrink to about a 14g usually. Which is pretty impressive.

@FalconMomot stretching too fast, not paying attention to their bleeding and swollen lobes. Idiots, in my opinion.

Falcon Momot

Weird. I left mine out for like a month and they only closed up to like 4g or something

Cole

2:41 PM

My tattoos haven't really been an issue either.

I have like super elasticity in my skin lol

Falcon Momot

and yeah, if they are bleeding, you've fucked up

nobody minds my ink at all either. however, I did troll people by going to the office with a tiny bit of facepaint (just the little blue stripe from the warpaint in my avatar), and both people there thought it was new ink :P

Cole

haha!

Journeyman Geek

/me alas, can't get a mohawk even if he wanted one

which i don't, but its the principle of it

Tanner

Anyone have an opinion on Mandrill vs SendGrid? (or any other emailing service)

Falcon Momot

@JourneymanGeek you could always do this:

@Tanner hmm, not really. I think one is as good as the next...

Tanner

2:56 PM

@FalconMomot BTW, is that ink on your face or ink?

Falcon Momot

@Tanner Merely warpaint for the purpose of a show, though it's proving extremely fun to troll people with.

Journeyman Geek

@FalconMomot: presumably.

on the other hand, my dad gets irate that my hair is messy

Cole

@JourneymanGeek wow

I get irate when my hair is messy too though... :P

I barely have any hair. My avatar is about 2 weeks of growth. Really needed a haircut there lol

Journeyman Geek

@Cole: heh, I have like, a certain comfort level of hair.

I'm at it now, I'll get it cut short when it annoys me

Ryan Ries

Falcon Momot

3:06 PM

@RyanRies Nice.

Cole

@JourneymanGeek This is how it usually is (just took this, got my haircut on Friday) i.imgur.com/ZwNnoIp.jpg

This vacation was the best thing I did for myself.

Journeyman Geek

@Cole: XD

I just had a 4 month one away from school

Cole

Also, large holes in my ears :P

Journeyman Geek

I probably need to take a few years away from the parentals once thats done ;p

Cole

@JourneymanGeek I hear that. I've spent the past ~1 year spending less and less time around mine.

Journeyman Geek

3:13 PM

@Cole: heh, still stuck with mine full time.

Cole

@JourneymanGeek in between me moving from CT and into my apartment in MA where I live now - I lived with my parents for about 3 months. I wanted to kill them.

Journeyman Geek

I'll settle for a week where I didn't have to take care of my dog.

@Cole: At least I'm not stuck helping in the kitchen after the incident with the radish ;p

Cole

O_O

Journeyman Geek

and yeah, that happens

lol

Cole

That's the only thing that was good about living at home, cheap rent <$200 and free meals every day

Journeyman Geek

3:16 PM

Apparently I didn't cut it properly. Mom kept complaining. I basically told her that I was trying to help, and if it isn't good enough, it was a minor thing that could have been fixed, stop complaining.

XD

yeah, there's that

Oh, and the fact that they got religious in their old age, and well, religion bores me.

Cole

Don't get me wrong - my parents are probably a lot more laid back and what not than most

They're starting to come around finally

Journeyman Geek

lol

mine took a while to accept I was a geek, and engineering wasn't for me.

not as big a change.

(or when I had those issues with depression and agoraphobia)

Cole

Well, my parents are having an hard time processing their little girl is not, and was not, ever one.

Journeyman Geek

they're nice folk, just stuck with indian-victorian values.

well, thats a pretty major change.

Cole

Think they're starting to get it now - since if they ever called me a woman in front of people in public - they'd get a lot of @_@

Journeyman Geek

3:20 PM

My best friend is FTM, and I have no idea if he's told his parents... er... I think over a decade after transition.

well transition started I mean

Cole

Wow.

Journeyman Geek

(not saying its right, its a pretty hard concept to wrap your head around)

Cole

They're trying. My dad also volunteered to get my paperwork notarized for my gender change on my birth certificate.

Journeyman Geek

my other FTM friend (who I used to date), had an easier time, thankfully

(tho, I hated him for jerking me around.)

Cole

So my new birth certificate with my legal name and updated gender will be in soon!

@JourneymanGeek what did he do?

Thinking I may be moving to Boston, once I find a job.

Wow.

That's so shitty

Journeyman Geek

3:24 PM

I was still kinda hung up over him for years. Even the gender change didn't bother me

lol

Cole

That's really cool that the gender change didn't bother you but yeah, still - what a dick.

Journeyman Geek

yeah. I can handle gender issues. I can't handle shit like that ;p

Cole

Agreed

Journeyman Geek

lol, it was a pretty special relationship while it lasted.

so, yeah. It didn't

His loss XD

Cole

Relationships suck. As much as I was hurt (again) by Abby and I breaking up this time around - it's honestly been the best thing for me. (and this vacation) I finally got closure and I feel like I can move on now.

Journeyman Geek

3:25 PM

yeah, closure takes a while

Cole

My therapist was like "If you hadn't dated her again, you would have been wondering 'what if?' for years. As much as it hurts now - it'll be better in the long run."

Journeyman Geek

lol, one reason I choose not to date anyone while I'm back in school.

Cole

Most people don't get a second chance to confirm that the other person, in fact, is a bag of douche.

Journeyman Geek

lol

I did with that ex.

Cole

I also realized that I was a complete dick to Jenna, and made her out to sound crazy as fuck. When in reality, she just accepted me 110% for who I am (good and bad).

Journeyman Geek

3:27 PM

I visited for a few days after, got treated very roughly, and spent a week on my frend's couch

well, lot of people are good and crazy as fuck ;p

Cole

@JourneymanGeek :(

Journeyman Geek

its just how the universe works

Cole

But, luckily for me - Jenna has given me a third chance

lol

Journeyman Geek

Make it count ;)

Cole

@JourneymanGeek she already said I've been way better. I'm less of a dick :)

Journeyman Geek

3:29 PM

XD

People change

Cole

Yep :P

Journeyman Geek

and yeah, age makes you less of a dick ;p

least thats what a friend of mine who reappeared after 6 years seems to think ;p

Cole

I realized I was super burned out from work. Also, that my medication was making me mean, grumpy and strung out kinda.

Journeyman Geek

lol

yeah, I know the feeling.

I was just a sarcastic git when stressed out

I've got this long running bit of familiy drama, thats been going on for quite a while, and it was stressing me out then more than now.

Cole

I mean, I still hate my job but I feel like I'm not being suffocating by stress

Journeyman Geek

3:33 PM

lol

I'm pretty good with dealing with my own stress

family stuff spilling over is just ugh

Cole

I feel a lot better.

Jenna, reminds me of Jenna Marbles lol

Journeyman Geek

lol

Cole

Personality wise, kinda physically too lol

Powershell, I am disappoint. Guess how long this took:

16 minutes!

Dennis Kaarsemaker

Maybe you don't have enough entropy

can't blame powershell for exhausting that with a rather stupid loop...

hmm, no, Get-Random is rather dumb and doesn't use system entropy at all

A lazy Sunday morning post! As most would agree, Powershell is the most powerful Windows administration tool ever seen. In my opinion, you cannot continue to be a Windows admin without learning it. However, Powershell is not breaking any speed records. In fact it can be downright slow. (After all, it's called Power-shell, not Speed-shell.) So, as developers or sysadmins or devopsapo…

perhaps over there, I live in hill country and it's pouring here.

Modafinil is a wakefulness-promoting drug (eugeroic) that is approved by the United States' Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness associated with obstructive sleep apnea.
