philipballewwhere's a place I can store a picture online where i can give anyone the link and its never gonna change?06:27
nhainesUbuntu One?06:30
philipballewi have never used ubuntu one. what exactly is it? cloud service?06:36
philipballewi am always Leary of the government looking at what I put up there06:38
rwwimgur.com06:41
philipballewseems simple enough rww06:43
guaimgur technically does expire photos if they aren't accessed after a certain amount of time. something like 6 months.06:45
guathere was some controversy over facebook keeping around deleted photos and links for them still working, so one person i saw (jokingly) suggested facebook as a host for indefinite image storage06:46
nhainesMy recommendation, if you are leary of "the government" looking at what you put online, my recommendation is not to put it online.06:47
nhainesAnd yes, Ubuntu One is a cloud service.  https://one.ubuntu.com/06:48
philipballewyeah. it just depends on what I do with it. you dont always know where the servers are located with cloud services06:51
nhainesYes, but if you host something on a publically-accessible resource, then it is public.06:58
philipballewwell I dont plan on putting anything that would be offensive or illegal06:59
nhainesThen why does it matter if "the government" looks at it?07:02
philipballewthe government probably will store it somewhere and keep it in a file they have of me. maybe...07:03
gualeery* unless we are referring to Denis Leary07:03
nhainesAnd if a government wanted to do this, it would matter whether it was on a "cloud storage" platform or on a web hosting platform?07:04
guaphilipballew: best place is to have your own server of sorts. ideally a home server but colocation or a vps works pretty well also.07:04
philipballewi have a home server. but all i have is ssh set up07:04
philipballewgua, not that firefighter dude :)07:05
philipballewi can set up something like that probably if i wanna pay for a domain and what not07:05
rwwis this log going in the file too07:05
rwwhi fbi!07:05
philipballewthe FbI is awesome and everything they do is for the good of our country07:06
philipballewI paid my taxes this year07:06
philipballewbecause I love my country07:06
nhainesAlso the FBI doesn't handle taxes.07:06
philipballewthank you nhaines :)07:07
philipballewits all the same organization though in many ways07:12
nhainesNot that many ways.07:17
philipballewi worked for the government nhaines. I've seen its all about serving your boss. i'm currently on leave though07:22
philipballewbut the pay was nice07:24
philipballew15 an hour07:24
bkerensaphilipballew: You shouldnt worry about the gov taking your images an archiving them :) archive.org already does that along with hundreds of other private archives that send out crawlers07:30
philipballewjust dont put up ill otten files07:31
bkerensaPlus if some theories are to be believed every bit of data whether it is e-mails, phone calls, images etc is all archived07:31
bkerensaphilipballew: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/homefront/interviews/klein.html07:34
philipballewyou can get goverment emails for free if you want07:35
philipballewsometimes it cost money07:35
bkerensa"In one row, they installed a cabinet that had optical splitters in it. So there were optical splitters, which basically were connected by fiber-optic cable down to the secret room on the sixth floor. ..."07:37
bkerensathe room they are talking about handles one of the largest backbones in the world as far as data goes07:38
philipballewin san fran att has a office that controlls like every part of our countries commutation. the government monitors it07:39
rwwyes, that's what the link is about07:39
guabut can the govt mitm tls is what i wonder07:40
bkerensaphilipballew: Nah not all of our communications.... Only West Coast and Asia go through the Folsom Street Hub07:40
bkerensaEast Coast and Europe all have hubs too and of course a Midwest hub in Kansas City07:41
philipballewthats probably a high target for attack here07:41
bkerensalikely though every carrier that operates a hub building has some sort of secret room where they divert data to be analyzed and filtered07:41
bkerensaHmm idk if it would be a target07:42
philipballewif that goes down all commutation goes down I would think07:42
bkerensaidk... probably high impact\07:43
bkerensabut the fiber they are talking about is underground and some of it goes under the SF Bay and ocean07:43
philipballewtrue. but there's better things to worry about. like power. did you hear about the power outage in san diego?07:44
bkerensaI'm sure there are some ways to divert internet traffic but it would cause major problems07:44
philipballewand everything would be slow07:44
bkerensaYeah power is important but at the same time Telecom powers money07:45
bkerensaif banks cant access their mainframes then people dont have access to their money07:45
philipballewits weird how much we need power and the phone lines07:45
bkerensaOur society relies far to much on data these days07:45
bkerensaindeed07:45
philipballewwhen power went down here we had to close school because people would not be able to drive here as stop lights didnt work07:46
philipballewand the internet was down... major headache07:47
bkerensaIt should be mandatory though that all banks have a server in each region which mirrors local customer data and syncs often and frequently so if something epic happened banks could still access customer data and give people money instead of relying on centralized systems in one part of the country07:47
philipballewthey probably see a central server as more secure?07:48
bkerensaphilipballew: Oh thats not good... In Northern Cali where I grew up the power goes out for many hours every winter during wind storms so people get used to it07:48
philipballewwhere in nor cal?07:48
bkerensaphilipballew: I think most companies definition of secure these days is lacking severely.... With all the companies that have been SQL injected and had plaintext databases idk07:49
bkerensaphilipballew: Crescent City, CA07:49
bkerensaTsunami Central07:49
bkerensa:)07:49

pleia2I'll be giving some short Introduction to Ubuntu talks at ITT Tech for a couple Intro to Linux classes next week :)19:01
pleia2Oakland and Concord campuses19:02
pleia2not open to the public, but hey neat19:02
grantbowpleia2: cool! grats19:04
pleia2thanks :)19:05
johansmitsNL I have a question about X-Forwarded-Proto within the lighttp config, can some one help me out?19:07
grantbowbest not to ask to ask, just ask http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html19:14
pleia2grantbow: that link tends to be a bit off-putting :\19:17
grantbowwhat do you recommend instead?19:18
pleia2the message without the link :)19:18
grantbowI know what yo mean19:18
pleia212:18:51 < ubottu> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)19:18
pleia2^^ that's what most ubuntu channels use19:19
johansmitsNLI understand the answer, I will ask my question again19:20
grantbowthe information it contains is quite useful and informative19:20
johansmitsNLI have a stunnel --> haproxy --> lighttp setup, between haproxy and lighttp communication is standard http (80). Haproxy adds X-Forwarded-Proto: https. How can I check within the lighttp that the X-Forwarded-Proto header contains https, so that I can do a redirect if it does not have it19:21
philipballewInternet browser. Firefox or chrome?19:23
johansmitsNLI use curl for testing19:23
johansmitsNLbut normally I use FF19:23
pleia2johansmitsNL: can you shut down the other portions of the tunnel to just test lighttp directly?19:24
pleia2(I'm not all that familiar with this setup, I mostly use apache)19:24
johansmitsNLif I give you a apache configuration of what I want, does that help?19:25
pleia2I doubt it would help with a solution here19:25
philipballewhum. I use ff right now. its getting better19:26
johansmitsNLpleia2: to understand it better here is a apache example of what I want to achieve with lighttp, but I don't know how to configure in lighttp:19:27
johansmitsNLRewriteEngine On19:27
johansmitsNLRewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !=https19:27
johansmitsNLRewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]19:27
johansmitsNLthats it for apache, and how to do this with lighttp19:27
raevol1 hour 8 minutes D:22:52
nhaines?23:56
pleia2presumably "3 minutes" is the next thing to say :)23:57
nhaines:)23:58
