RoyKjmarsden: I really don't care about the general christian's view of my language08:08
jmarsdenYour use of #ubuntu-* channels is subject to the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, I believe.08:09
RoyKjmarsden: do you know how I can fix this problem or are you just an anti-swearing-bot?08:09
jmarsdenGiven that attitude, I'm not really all that interested in spending time helping you right now, I'm afraid.08:10

RoyKjmarsden: do you know how I can fix this problem or are you just an anti-swearing-bot?08:12

jmarsdenWithout the language impediment, it's possible I'd have had more to say.  Goodnight.08:12
RoyKjmarsden: if you find it so hard to read these BAD BAD WORDS, then find another place to hang out than on IRC08:12
RoyKjmarsden: I've been in here for a while08:12
RoyKjmarsden: anyway - I really don't know you _do_ know what to do about it, but it's so much pride in not answering a man who uses non-christian words, isn't it?08:12
Drmanhattanthe ubuntu code of conduct is not applied equally.08:19
* Drmanhattan awaits yet another ban in another ubuntu channel for noticing hypocrisy.08:19
RoyKDrmanhattan: noticing is allowed, commenting is hypocracy08:22
DrmanhattanI see08:22
Drmanhattan;))08:22
RoyKluckily there aren't too much idiots like jmarsden in here08:23
Jeeves_RoyK: It's a bit weird that you match 'decency' and 'cristianity' :)08:23
Jeeves_As if non-cristians cannot be decent.08:24
Jeeves_Aren't you decent?08:24
RoyKdid I mention decency?08:24
Jeeves_No, but keeping in mind that some words offent others is decent.08:24
Jeeves_Which you don't bother to be, which is fine by me.08:24
Jeeves_But nobody mentioned cristianity either, except you.08:25
DrmanhattanChristianity is kind of offensive to me, at least the politics involved.08:25
Jeeves_So make up your mind, try to behave, and maybe people will be willing to help you.08:25
RoyKwords like 'fuck', 'shit' etc are perfect words for expressing feelings. mr jmarsden did not wait a second before throwing !language at me08:25
RoyKthis 'decency' about not using 'swear words' comes from christianity, not from somewhere else08:26
Drmanhattanthe religion itself doesn't bother me, but the protesting of funerals and oppressing gay folk makes me sick.08:26
Jeeves_Drmanhattan: Try moving to a normal country, that helps :)08:26
RoyKsome people think 'try to behave' means 'follow the paths of our ancestors' meaning those who actually beleived there was a god and so on08:26
Jeeves_RoyK: How old are you, 11?08:26
DrmanhattanRoyK, most modern "swear words" are words from the native languages that were deemed "vulgar" when the Christians invaded them.08:26
DrmanhattanJeeves_, yay amsterdam08:27
RoyKI can behave perfectly normal, be nice and so on, but if my filesystem goes boom, I'll be shouting SHIT nevertheless08:27
RoyKJeeves_: no, I'm not 1108:27
Jeeves_RoyK: Younger?08:27
Jeeves_If not, you are behaving like a 11 year old.08:27
Jeeves_Decent (they do not need to be cristian) people try to follow the rules of surroundings a bit08:28
DrmanhattanI haven't seen a lot of decency out of some of the ubuntu channel mods though.08:29
RoyKJeeves_: either you try to make me look like something I'm not, or you're not the smartest guy alive. I guess the former08:29
RoyKJeeves_: yeah, but those rules are not absolute08:29
RoyKJeeves_: your rules on 'good language' obviously doesn't match your neighbor's08:29
RoyKor his neighbor, or relatives08:29
DrmanhattanI guess thats what happens when you put 19 y/o's in charge of things, especially ones that were obviously picked on in their younger years.08:29
Drmanhattansorry 18yo's08:29
RoyKJeeves_: tell me, if you get a corrupt filesystem, do you feel like shouting out some dedicated words, or would 'pizza' or 'pancake' do?08:30
Jeeves_RoyK: The rule is pretty simple. It's "Do not swear in the #ubuntu-channels". You said yourselve that the words you're using are swear words.08:30
Jeeves_So, what's your problem?08:30
Jeeves_Try and shout at your monitor, and not into the channel.08:31
Jeeves_That way, you might get help. And your monitor probably won't mind you yelling at him.08:31
RoyKJeeves_: my problem is that you're blocking a big segment of the English language, at times a good segment too08:31
RoyKJeeves_: because someone said 'this is bad'08:31
Jeeves_You're mom might.08:31
RoyKcan someone please kick mr Jeeves_ in his ass?08:31
Jeeves_RoyK: Seriously, are you in need of help or are you here to comment on the #ubuntu-* rules?08:32
RoyKJeeves_: do you actually beleive that behaviour is about not swearing?08:34
RoyKJeeves_: your rudeness is, by those rules, ok, but if I say 'shit', well, that's worse?08:34
RoyKwell, if that's the rules, I guess some pretty fucked up christians must have been behind them08:34
Jeeves_I'm not rude. I'm trying to explain to you why those rules are. And that those rules should be followed within the ubuntu-channels/08:36
Jeeves_What's rude about that?08:36
RoyKwell, your attitude doesn't help you08:36
Jeeves_I'm guessing you age by your behaviour, that should give you a hint on your behaviour, not mine08:37
RoyKJeeves_: heh08:37
Jeeves_So, what's your problem?08:41
RoyKJeeves_: your behaviour is generally about one thing, 'do not swear'. with that as a base, you seem to beleive you can be as rude as you like. you haven't put a single argument forth on why certain words should be banned from usage in here, just that 'the rules say...' Those rules are conservative ones, mostly ruled out the christian right wing in most countries, especially in the US, but also in parts of Europe. Luckily, in Europe, most pe08:45
RoyKople don't beleive in that sort of gods anymore, so the language is generally more free than it is in other, more conservative parts of the world, such as the extreme islamic parts and parts of the US08:46
RoyKJeeves_: if you want to say something more about this, be my guest, but please don't rephrase the current ruleset08:47
RoyKJeeves_: lol - you didn't really understand that, did you?08:47
Jeeves_RoyK: I do have better things to do dan await your four minute break to think about this.08:49
Jeeves_The point is, it doesn't matter which words are of aren't banned from usage.08:49
RoyKJeeves_: it's funny. people like you fall back to bullshit when you have no arguments, not even bad ones08:50
Jeeves_The point is that you're using a service of somebody else, and you should behave according to this parties rules.08:50
RoyK'my minute break'08:50
RoyKJeeves_: did you even _try_ to read what I wrote above?08:50
Jeeves_RoyK: I did, and I understand what you said.08:50
Jeeves_The point is that your or my personal point of view doesn't matter.08:51
Jeeves_What matters is that there are rules in this channel, and you should behave according to those rules.08:51
Drmanhattanwell, I'd be happy to behave as some of the operators want, When I am kicked, banned, and shoved into channels to debate the matter, I generally tend to become uncooperative.08:51
Jeeves_I understand your view on extremist cristians08:51
Jeeves_I share some parts of that view08:52
Jeeves_But it just doesn't matter :)08:52
DrmanhattanI don't understand why Christians have such a problem with gay folk, it isnt like Jesus ever showed any interest in women, and he surrounded himself with 12 other men with a similiar disinterest in women. I don't know any straight men who do that.08:53
RoyKJeeves_: fuck you very much, idiot. obeying the rules because they're rules is idiocy of the worst sort. try to tell the people in Iran to obey the law because it's the law. also, all sorts of countries have stupid laws, also the 'western' ones.08:53
Jeeves_ok, I give up. :)08:53
RoyKJeeves_: in obeying laws for the sake of their being laws, you make a big mistake08:53
Jeeves_A silence!08:53
Jeeves_!/ignore++08:53
RoyKDrmanhattan: the christians have problems with gay folk, just because they're not allowed to join in08:54
RoyKit's sad, really :)08:54

OscarTGOk I can't belive I am asking this question.  I need to figure out if the Ubuntu server install I am working on is 64 or 32 bit.  Is there a command to see this?17:55
OscarTGI was looking at uname but didn't see anything17:55
OscarTGwait sorry about this.  could I tell from the kernel version?17:56
OscarTGIf you were given a per installed server to work on  and was told that "automatic security / system updates were configured" any suggestions on were to look to turn this off?18:06
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
subOscarTG: starting at the beginning, re: 32-bit vs 64-bit if someone installed a 32bit kernel on a 64bit system the kernel version would be inaccurate18:12
sub`cat /proc/cpuinfo` and see if it tells you anything18:13
OscarTGhrmm.  but I can tell from that what os I am working with?  it is i68618:13
OscarTGthat is 32 bit correct?18:13
OscarTGwow cpuinfo is pretty helpfull18:14
OscarTGahh it is a quad core intel xeon.  what is funny is ubuntu sees it as 4 1 core processors18:15
subyep18:16
OscarTGso any thoughts on the auto updates.18:16
subI think you can remove the package "unattended-upgrades" but I don't know if that's the correct way18:16
subAnyone else here know if that breaks anything?18:16
OscarTGi will look around a bit more.18:16
subthere's some apt config directives18:17
subcheck the comments in the header of /etc/cron.daily/apt18:17
OscarTGi just love that fact that we ordered a server, 9.04 server minimum install, no additional packages, only add ssh.18:17
subin particular "#  "APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade""18:17
OscarTGand I got 9.10, ssh and LAMP, and auto updates.  sorry /end rant18:18
OscarTGthanks.18:18
subhah, understandable18:18
subif you didn't get what you want, you might want to start with a clean install18:19
OscarTGif i had access to the server I would.  we are moving one of our vmware servers to a hosting center and my boss yester day handed me an email and said he got want I wanted and needed it up by monday.18:20
OscarTGluckly i talked him into two extra paid vacation days around christmas18:20
subah ok18:22
subwell good luck with shaping it down to what you want18:22
OscarTGI will get it close but I haven't decided if I want to even worry about the LAMP part18:23
OscarTGI wish uninstalling LAMP was as easy as it is to install all of that during the OS install.18:23
OscarTGone click = so much more than what a lot of people realize18:24
subyou don't want it at all?18:28
subany of it?18:28
subOscarTG: sudo tasksel remove lamp-server18:29
OscarTGoh your kidding me.  You rock.18:30
cottleif I'm willing to learn how to securely maintain my server, and I'm willing to spend a couple of hours doing the initial configuration, how much time does it take from then on if security is essential? 30 mins per week? several hours per day?18:30
subcheck tasksel's man page and tasksel --list-tasks18:30
OscarTGthat just made my life so much easier18:31
subcottle: depends to what extent you want to actively maintain the security of the server. some people may just install security updates once a week, some review logs meticulously, and others are active on all the relevant security/announce mailing lists18:32
subcottle: really it just comes down to how much time you want to put into it18:32
OscarTGand some like to set it up to happen automaticly.  they should be shot and use windows.  ok sorry, no they shouldn't and there is probly a god case to use it some were.  :)18:33
cottlesub: not that I find it likely, but just assume that my web project gains popularity and potentially more people want to hack into my system. if I just update the system once every 3 days or so and don't do anything else, will I sooner or later lose the battle and get rooted?18:34
subcottle: security is about risk management and there aren't any guarentees. it's essentially a well-calculated gamble where you try to stack the odds in your favor. sure, that could happen, but as long as your system is up to date AND you're following security best practices (both on the admin side of things and on the web project's development side of things) then it's likely you'll be fine for a very long time18:35
cottlesub: and if something should happen, I should keep a current backup and learn from my mistakes.18:36
subyes, a current off-site backup18:36
suband18:36
subyou should have a disaster recovery plan in case this does happen18:37
subdisaster recovery/business continuity18:37
OscarTGcottle: i think I am in a boat similar to what you are in.  Running your own server can be fun, save some money, and you can learn a ton.  If youproject goes big though, i would suggest looking into finding a good host to work with, not a cheep one, a good one.  That way you can focus on one part of it and the server side of things is handled by hopefully a group of people with much more experience.  It also allows you to make someone else responsible18:37
OscarTG for a major part of it and everything doesn't fall onto you.18:37
cottlesub: I guess even a complete root attack isn't so bad, if you e.g. don't store passwords as plain text but instead use a hash with salt and things like that. you just reinstall the OS with the backup, learn from your mistakes and even if the attacker downloaded the entire database he has not much to gain. right?18:38
subdepends what their goal was but more importantly what you lose during the attack, such as the trust of your users, or money18:39
cottleOscarTG: I completely agree with you there. the point that worries me though is that the host with the group of people who will manage my server then doesn't support the web application interface I'm using, but just PHP. Or they don't support the database I'm using... and so on.18:39
cottlesorry for the bad English, I type faster than I can think...18:41
subgotta go, racking a couple of servers and a SAN today18:41
OscarTGcottle: don't worry18:42
cottlesub: okay, thank you though :)18:42
OscarTGsub: thanks a ton for the help18:42
cottleOscarTG: what do you think regarding my last point?18:43
OscarTGcottle:  what insterface are you using? and is there a reason you are using PostgresSQL over  MySQL?18:43
cottleOscarTG: I'm use CGI, maybe FastCGI. maybe I implement my web application as a small web server that runs behind apache. currently I'm flexible enough that it only takes a few days of coding to switch between these possibilities. and I'm using PG over MySQL because I was told that is superior in both security and reliability.18:44
cottles/I'm use/I use18:47
pg1054I'm setting up a number of sshfs mounts for automount via /etc/fstab.  I've a question about 'proper sytax' in the fstab.  All is clear re: passing *fuse* options.  I would like to also pass an SSH option, specifically a non-standard SSH config file.  That's, of course, the "-F" option to ssh.  What's the right syntax/usage for including that opt in fstab?19:24
pg1054I.e., where do I put it in: "sshfs#guest@guest.login.com:data /mnt/guest fuse uid=1003,gid=100,umask=0,allow_other 0 0" ?19:24
