jrwrenPreparing to replace mysql-server-5.1 5.1.58-1ubuntu1 (using .../mysql-server-5.1_5.1.61-0ubuntu0.11.10.1_amd64.deb) ...00:53
jrwrenstuck in an endless apparmor loop :(00:54
jrwrenhrm... now hot to file that bug... *sigh*00:57
snap-ljrwren: WHat's going on?00:59
jrwrenapparmor had rules for /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock instead of /run/mysqld/mysqld.sock01:05
jrwrenmaybe apparmor stopped following symlinks?01:05
jrwren/var/run is just a symlink to /run these days01:05
jrwrenand /run is tmpfs01:06

greg-goh really? (re: apple event) add another to the grumble my social networks will be worthless list02:10
greg-gI guess, I should use these days to weed the worthless people/feeds from my social sphere :)02:10
rick_h_bah, stupid mysql differences causing migration failures :(02:15
brouschrick_h_: use postgresql02:25
rick_h_brousch: next up, but bookie runs on all three so working on getting the builds running on all three again02:26
rick_h_should have put that in #bookie, sorry02:26
brouschpoop on the mysql users ;)02:26
rick_h_the new setup takes a bit more work to get the whole drop, migrate, etc running right for tests02:27

snap-l<303:52
jrwrenan excellent gesture.04:00
jrwrenbut he was sued years ago for use of music on his show and it is covered by fair use.04:01
jrwrenlikely the rush will be the same way04:01
jrwreneven still... awesome that rush is taking their stance.04:01
snap-lSo is Peter Gabriel04:01
snap-ltold JoDee that it'll be amazing if Limbaugh is on terrestrial radio in a month04:02
jrwrenoh hell no.04:02
jrwrenhave you not paid attn?04:02
jrwrenthis happens every 3-5 yrs.... its how rush keeps himself known.04:02
jrwrenMORE people will be tuning in because of htis.04:03
jrwrenit keeps his ratings up.04:03
snap-lYeah, but this is his Imus moment04:03
jrwrenyou think so?04:03

jrwreni actually feel a little bad for imus.04:08
jrwrenif most people weren't racist then imus would have gotten away with it... or else so many others who do the same thing, but are of other race would be held accountable.04:09
jrwrenrush on the ohter hand... he is just a ratings whore, or rating slut if you like, and deserves what he gets.04:09
snap-lI think pepole were just looking for a reason to pull him off the air04:09

snap-lWelcome to Michigan12:37
snap-lI really, really hate /opt12:55
rick_h_? why is this?12:57
snap-lbecause /opt is under /12:57
snap-land / is a small partition12:57
rick_h_oic12:57
snap-land it seems there's a lot of things that like to live in /opt12:57
snap-lso, moved everything from /opt to /usr/local/opt and made it a symlink12:58
rick_h_right12:58
brouschjodee looks crazy https://plus.google.com/photos/117777908934895049975/albums/571676434944620472113:17
rick_h_she must have found the other bug13:18
brouschlike she is plotting snap-l's death13:18
brouschi like how the labelmaker is in front of her so it looks like she is debugging that13:19
snap-lbrousch: Hah13:25
brouschsnap-l: is she feeling better?13:25
snap-lYeah, she's better now13:26
snap-lwas a function of the pizza she ate.13:26
brouschgood13:27
snap-lApparently Super Tuesday showed that we're in for more campaigning13:28
snap-lmaybe they could duck-tape Romney and Santorum together13:29
brouschand throw them in a volcano?13:31
snap-lWell... ;)13:31
brouschhm, then we're left with ron paul and newt. maybe that's not a good choice13:32
snap-lWell, ROn Paul is going to go back to being an intependent.13:34
snap-lcount on it13:34
brouschyou think he will run as an independant when he doesn't get the repub nomination?13:35
snap-lThere's too many potheads out there for him not to keep running13:35
brouschi used to be a libertarian13:36
snap-lbrousch: Put another way: do you know who the libertarians are running?13:36
brouschheh13:36
snap-lHe has a better chance as a libertarian, frankly13:36
rick_h_http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/ergonomics/home/products/ergonomicmouse/14:05
rick_h_ok, I want to have a flight joystick as my input mechanism14:06
rick_h_one step closer to being a 'rocket scientist'14:06
snap-lmore like space cadet. ;)14:09
snap-lhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-cadet_keyboard14:10
rick_h_heh14:10
snap-lAlso, using a joystick in place of a mouse is a real PITA14:11
snap-lEven if you just slide it around your desk14:12
snap-lyour wrist has more fine motor positioning than your arm14:12
rick_h_but but it's soooo cool!14:12
rick_h_"zoooooommmmmmmm, flying into the upper right corner terminal for textual entry!"14:13
snap-lrick_h_: Which is why we've all switched from moving rocks with buttons on them14:13
rick_h_I prefer to spin my ball-rock in place :P14:13
snap-lAlso, I think people underestimate how much they use their fingers to move a mouse.14:13

ColonelPanic001anyone use StackExchange sites much?14:40
ColonelPanic001There's about eleventy billion of them14:40
ColonelPanic001and at least ten billion are at least somewhat of interest to me14:41
ColonelPanic001hwo the hell am I supposed to check on them all?14:41
brouschColonelPanic001: quit your job14:41
ColonelPanic001ironically, I was just glancing at the "Personal Productivity" site14:41
ColonelPanic0014 srs, though14:42
brouschColonelPanic001: don't14:43
snap-lColonelPanic001: You can have it e-mail you a summary of tags that you care about14:43
brouschrick_h_: you at pycon yet?14:43
snap-lbut frankly, unless you are seriously into a particular tag, you'll get flooded14:44
snap-lie: do you care about 140 python questions?14:44
ColonelPanic001this just seems like a very dumb thing. 84 sites, many of them with huge overlap (programmers and stackoverflow, e.g.), and there's no way to get an aggregate?14:44
ColonelPanic001right14:44
ColonelPanic001so if there's ten sites of interest to me (and that's not hard to do), I have to check ten damn sites every time.14:45
snap-lColonelPanic001: What I do is put each of the sites that I care about into a bookmark folder, and then open all of them when I want to just see what's going on14:45
ColonelPanic001yeah, that might be what I'll do14:45
snap-lTehy're not reddit. Don't treat them like that. :)14:45
ColonelPanic001how dare you.14:45
ColonelPanic001I would never betray my beloved reddit.14:46
rick_h_brousch: no :( leave tomorrow afternoon14:46
rick_h_getting things ready14:46
rick_h_ColonelPanic001: so I hit a couple up, and use the rss feeds for the tags I'm interested in14:47
rick_h_ColonelPanic001: yea, just start with some tags on stack overflow and grow from there14:49
ColonelPanic001http://english.stackexchange.com/14:50
ColonelPanic001I am going to waste far too much time there14:50
rick_h_hah14:50
ColonelPanic001http://history.stackexchange.com/14:52
ColonelPanic001that one, too14:52
brouschkeep abreast of pycon https://pycon.disqus.com/15:01
rick_h_widox: quit trying to make php work and just move to python :)15:01
widoxrick_h_: :D15:01
krondorBruce Schneier is going to be at Penguicon again?  That's pretty rad, I missed him last time.15:50
* rick_h_ google Bruce, doesn't recall16:06
ColonelPanic001he is? Awesome16:14
ColonelPanic001I dind't know that16:14
ColonelPanic001think I'm just going to commute this year. It's maybe a 15 minute drive for me16:15
ColonelPanic001as awesome as it is to stay at the con, I don't know that it's worth $200 to me16:15
widoxColonelPanic001: sleep in your car16:15
ColonelPanic001meh. 15 minutes away, I have a bed16:15
ColonelPanic001the main downsides are: 1) drinking has to be minimal, 2) I can't just drop stuff off in the room, instead have to carry it around16:16
ColonelPanic001but meh16:16
rick_h_wtf, is the version of npm in precise really 0.2?!16:20
snap-lrick_h_: Node is seriously lacking in packaging16:24

snap-lrick_h_: Very cool!18:36
jrwrenhow can you hate ssh keys?19:46
jrwrenthey are the single best authentication mechanism in the history of mankind :p19:46
jrwrenthis is what I think of passwords19:47
jrwrenPasswordAuthentication no19:47
jrwrenits what my sshd_config thinks of passwords too.19:47
jrwren:p19:47
rick_h_jrwren: ftw!19:48
snap-ljrwren: Me too19:55
brouschwith a ssh key, how do you login to a server from a machine you don't normally use?20:17
snap-lbrousch: Please restate your question in the form of a sensible question20:18
brouschi have an android phone, an android tablet, a linux tablet, 2 laptops, 2 desktops and much more20:19
brouschi can use the same password from them, or spend my life dealing with keys20:19
krondorwell you add each key when you first start using that device.  It's a one time process20:20
brouschadd each key on each server20:21
krondorstill you do it once and then you're good .. password you have to do something each time20:21
krondorand when you're on that strangers box that key is a lot safer to use than your password + keylogger on that system.20:22
brouschhow do i use a key from a "strangers" box?20:22
krondorwhat you don't have a usb key?  dropbox + lastpass with 1 time use password?  etc...20:22
brouschsee, so now i have to keep track of all these keys in dropbox or something20:23
krondoryou could even pre-generate that usb key so after you use it once you throw it away on the server in case they captured it or some crap20:23
brouschand use my password to login to dropbox20:23
krondorno use your lastpass 1 time use pass to login to dropbox20:23
krondoror mfa + google authenticator or what not20:23
brouschfml20:23
brouschso, this complication is why i hate keys20:24
krondorhey you want 1.) easy, 2.) secure, 3.) repeatable... pick any two20:24
brouschi can keep a password in my head and use it from anywhere, or i can wrangle keys and passwords through annoying mechanisms20:24
rick_h_passwords aren't for servers20:25
rick_h_sorry, but comparing how you access dropbox vs a machine is a bit different20:25
brouschi access a server from an ssh client. that could be putty from any one of our 25 windows machines20:26
rick_h_and you don't have a network share you've got access to on those 25 machines?20:26
brouschsure, if i want to login as another user so not everyone can access my share with keys20:27
snap-lbrousch: If youdon't want to go key-copying, put your key on a gateway machine, then20:30
rick_h_or even just net use share:// with your login at connection time?20:30
snap-lwin: ssh gateway > server20:30
rick_h_brousch: key == security + ease because you don't take easy password shortcuts20:30
brouschsnap-l: and if the gateway machine is down?20:31
snap-lbrousch: Make sure it doesn't go down, or have a backup machine20:31
snap-lbrousch: You don't have to make this complicated. :)20:31
brouschit inherantly is complicated unless you login from the same machine all the time20:32
snap-lSo you set up several gateway machines, and rsync their credentials20:32
snap-lnot complicated.20:32
brousch:P20:32
snap-lThen copy the authed keys20:32
snap-lto the server20:33
snap-lbrousch: Do you have LDAP set up?20:34
brouschwhat it comes down to is i get incredibly annoyed when i can't login to my own thing with what is in my own head20:34
brouschno ldap20:34
snap-lBah, was going to make an excellent point if you had LDAP set up. :)20:34
brouschheh20:36
brouschyou guys keep a copy of all of your keys in dropbox?20:37
snap-lbrousch: I don't.20:37
snap-lI just generate new keys on new hardware.20:37
brouschhow do you login to the server to copy the new key to it?20:38
snap-lbrousch: Well, if it isn't locked down, ssh-copy-id20:39
snap-lotherwise, find a console20:39
snap-land once I have it set up, I disable Password logins20:40
krondordepending on your volume of keys/servers larger places will script key addition and removal from groups of servers.  Makes it easy to retire potentially compromised keys etc...20:41
krondoralso some places use lighthouse servers (management server with access to other servers)20:43
krondoryou'd remote to the lighthouse, probably with two factor, then that has its key approved for all other ssh servers20:43
brouschsounds like snap-l's gateway server20:43
brouschthat seems like it would be annoying for sftp20:44
snap-lbrousch: Yeah, sftp would be a pain in the cock21:00
brouschso it sounds like i need a better method of keeping track of keys and making them easily accessible to me21:01
snap-lyes21:02
brouschit seems insecure to copy and move them around. like having my password stored in plaintext in a file21:03
krondortruecrypt/luks volume?21:04
krondoranyone played with alternatives to bind recently for secure/speedy caching nameserver?21:06
brouschi need a password to decrypt my encryption key files21:08
rick_h_krondor: I think I've just used dnsmasq before21:08
rick_h_krondor: but only for small local network stuff21:08
krondorrick_h_:  thanks I'm looking at unbound, djdbns seems like it stalled.  Maybe bind is the right answer after all.21:09
rick_h_krondor: yea, I mean bind's still used everywhere21:09
krondorunbound has yaml (ish) config though :)21:09
rick_h_http://askubuntu.com/questions/22750/best-way-to-set-up-dns-caching21:09
jrwrenmy problem isn't with MY password adn account.21:14
jrwrenbut without21:14
jrwrenPasswordAuthentication no21:14
jrwrenthen my weakest point is the weakest password21:14
jrwrendicitonary attack is easy.21:14
snap-lMan, it is windy out there21:17
krondorif you're not going PasswordAuthentication no at least use denyhosts or something similar21:33
jrwrenkrondor: that is what I did before i used that.21:38
snap-lBTW: CHC tonight. 8pm edition21:42
Blazeixyeah, it's a good thing rick_h_ sent out that tweet, or I would have completely forgotten21:45
krondorrick_h_:  thanks for the askubuntu link, that guy is asking for a pretty light setup though.  I'm not sure dnsmasq is up to the task of larger networks.21:46
jrwrendo ya'll just easy_install virtualenv as root?21:51
jrwrenand if ya'll don't know, then rick_h_ ^^ :)21:52
jrwrenfor that matter, pip or easy_install?22:02
snap-lI've installed virtualenv ad root, but each of the environments created are under my user22:29
snap-lDon't use the Ubuntu virtualenv packages, though, as they're older than irt.22:29
snap-lhttp://www.doughellmann.com/projects/virtualenvwrapper/ <- also awesome.22:30
snap-land just to prove me wrong, I have both virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper installed as packages22:30
snap-llike a BOSS.22:30
jrwrenok.22:32
jrwreni just downloaded virtualenv.py and ran it, so no ropriv escalation required at all.22:33
jrwrenthat worked well so far.22:33
rick_h_jrwren: sudo apt-get install setuptools && sudo easy_install pip && sudo pip install virtualenv23:50
rick_h_jrwren: so I keep a set of main tools as root so they're system-wide23:50
rick_h_jrwren: like rst2pdf and some things, but http://paste.mitechie.com/show/561/ is system wide23:51
rick_h_jrwren: (that's output of sudo pip freeze)23:51
