andygrayheya thafreak14:57
thafreakyo yo14:57
* thafreak has so much work to do....but doesn't want to do it :(14:57
thafreak3 jobs is at least, one job too many14:58
thafreakbut probably 3 jobs too many14:58
canthus13good morning.14:58
* canthus13 stabs chromium repeatedly witha spoon.15:01
canthus13I have 4GB of ram.  there's no reason I should be swapping. :/15:02
canthus13...except that chromium was using 2.5GB.15:02
thafreakawesome15:04
thafreakyeah, i keep switching browsers as my default periodically...15:05
thafreakbasically when i realize my browser's using all my ram, i change15:05
thafreakuntil i realize that browser is using all my ram...then i change back15:05
thafreak:)15:05
thafreakfyi, you can sort of convert virtualbox vm's to kvm...15:08
thafreaki guess the export appliance thing that vbox does makes an ova file, which is just a gnu tar file with an ovf and a vmdk disk image15:09
andygraynice, vbox to kvm :)15:10
andygrayhad no idea15:10
Cheri703I got my work from home job !!! I will be starting as part time, but with the potential for more, and if I am doing a fair amount each week, will likely quit current job and move to a part-time with benefits elsewhere :)15:57
andygraynice16:00
thafreakcrap...nevermind...seems vmdk support in qemu/kvm isn't working....16:01
andygraythafreak, noted :)16:02
thafreakCheri703: what kind of work from home is it?16:02
Cheri703qa for a website, eventually penetration testing and other junior-ish security engineer stuff :D :D16:02
thafreakandygray: fyi, there is a vbox tool to convert vmdk images to raw images though...i will have to do that first i guess16:02
thafreakwow nice...16:03
Cheri703yes, very excited16:03
Cheri703and the website is one that teaches security things to people, so even better, I get to learn as I work :D16:03
thafreakso are you working for a company qa'ing their website, or for like a consulting company qa'ing other companies websites?16:03
Cheri703qa'ing theirs, then other stuff later on16:04
Cheri703www.thehackeracademy.com :D16:04
andygrayinteresting :)16:05
Cheri703I'm super excited16:05
thafreakand you're getting paid, or is it more like unpaid intern?16:05
Cheri703paid16:05
thafreakawesome16:06
thafreaklet us know (specifically me) if it's decent material...16:07
thafreaki might be convinced to get my company to pay their membership fee for me...if it seems worth it16:07
thafreaksee, now you're in sales too and you didn't even know it16:07
Cheri703hehe, yeah, I'll keep you posted16:08
Cheri703I will say, decent material for me (beginner) might be different than decent material for you, but I've been interacting with the guy behind it, sounds pretty good overall16:08
andygraywhat is it that yano does?16:10
andygraythat sounds somethinkg like what he is wokring on too16:10
thafreakis it a instructor lead class type setup, or more of a learn at your own pace kind of deal?16:10
Cheri703I believe learn at your own pace, check out the blog on the site16:11
Cheri703I will let you know once I'm more into it16:22
canthus13Wow. 1500 bucks a year?16:54
Cheri703pm me if interested but that is too much >.>16:55
canthus13Heh.17:21
canthus13I'll learn it the old fashioned way, tyvm.17:21
Cheri703for the record, I'm not implying that I'd be shady and provide info as I'm doing it17:22
canthus13:)17:28
gilbertpaultag: reading -devel?17:51
paultaggilbert: yeah, I saw your post17:52
paultaggilbert: I like the idea a lot17:52
paultaggilbert: but a lot of people might claim hijacking or breaking stable versions or something17:52
gilbertpaultag: cool. glad to know my ideas aren't completely crazy ;)17:52
paultagyeah no, it's a good idea17:53
paultagand I think you should keep at it, I agree a lot17:53
paultaggilbert: any replies off-list?17:54
gilbertpaultag: not yet.  just sent that like 15 min ago anyway17:54
paultagah, yeah, true17:54
paultag(45 minutes ago)17:54
gilbertoh17:54
gilberttime flies :(17:55
paultagy'rly17:55
gilbertso, i think hijacking is overblown17:55
paultagI agree, but some people claim it as a real problem17:56
gilbertthe solution to that i already put in there is that the maintainer can appeal alioth's decision by demonstrating volunteer badness17:56
paultagyeah I saw that bit17:57
gilbertbut yeah, i'm tired of maintainers whining17:59
paultagI know people are going to claim that this will encourage malicious NMUs via official means, gilbert17:59
gilbertlet the people that are actually doing things do those things17:59
paultagI know it's not17:59
paultagbut that's what they're going to say17:59
paultagI agree17:59
paultagtotally17:59
paultagI think collab-maint should actually mean something (but alas)17:59
gilberta few bad/malicious nmus shouldn't prevent others from doing real work18:01
gilbertthose should be addressed on a case-by-case basis18:01
paultagI mean, I agree, and you'd have to have upload rights18:01
paultagbut I feel that if this were in place when that dpkg NMU went down, it'd be behind this sort of process18:01
gilbertwell, anyway, thats what i'll say if someone complains about that18:01
paultagwhich isn't a bad thing18:01
gilberttru18:02
paultagbut stuff like DMs getting a DD to upload this sort of thing18:02
paultagwill be hard, I think18:02
paultagwhich isn't a bad thing, but just something I was thinking about18:02
gilbertpossibly.  after time, it may become more acceptible18:02
paultagI hope so :)18:03
gilbertyou'll be a dd by then anyway ;)18:03
paultagI'm not so worried about me :)18:03
gilbertah good ole selflessness18:03
paultagI'm in the middle of nodejs hell, I'm about to upload like 20 new node packages18:03
paultagand if someone would jack a few of those, I'd be so effing happy18:03
paultagso I need to make sure there's a process for that :)18:04
gilbert:)18:04
paultag(trying to get TileMill in before Wheezy)18:04
gilberthaha, the "please hijack this" process18:06
paultagright?!18:06
paultagit's what the low-threshold NMU should be18:06
paultagI wish we could leave notes on the PTS18:09
paultagDEP12 - HACKING.Debian18:10
paultagactually, I wonder if I can just start doing that, and send a patch into the PTS to display that in a pane18:11
gilbertsure, no harm in trying18:41
gilbertexcept wasted time18:41
paultagyeah, sure18:42
paultagit'd be nice to leave a note for people looking at how to handle this sort of situation18:42
paultagand a thing for them to point to to say it's OK to do this to any sponsors18:43
andygrayi need like #software-ignorance-rage  support right now.18:47
andygrayi'm going nuts with this joomla transfer, i've done it before, several times and it's worked just great.18:48
