thafreaki'm still here01:20
paultag01:20
thafreakthe tito's vodka was calling01:20
canthus13thafreak: they left you behind? :(01:21
thafreaknah, I'm just not done01:21
canthus13ah.01:21
thafreakbeen glued to my chair more or less since sunday morning01:21
thafreakmail server i had been planning on replacing for the last 2 years died on me01:22
thafreakbeen rushing to get things moved around and replacements setup...mail migrated etc01:22
thafreakand the old mail had ldap built in...so I had the file server's samba authing against it01:22
thafreakso I had to replace that too :)01:23
thafreakseems I never get around to my projects like this until I'm forced to by a crisis01:23
thafreaki can't wait to get drunk at OLF01:23
thafreakI may BYOB01:23
thafreakfinish this tito's vodka01:24
canthus13Lucky you. We've been dealing with tucows and their limping mail cluster. :/01:25
canthus13"30% of cluster B's accounts are not able to log in. we don't have it isolated, but we CAN rotate it around within that 30% so different accounts are affected at different times."01:26
canthus13mail server roulette. :/01:27
* canthus13 wonders what kinda of mail server allows for you to move the problem around, but not fix it.01:27
canthus13apparently their storage hardware is through oracle, and it's some odd hardware issue.01:28
thafreakwell there you go...it's an oracle problem01:31
thafreakThis customer was always adamant about keeping mail in house...01:32
thafreakBut they were like why's it not back up yet...do we need to buy another server...lets do it now01:32
canthus13thafreak: That's fine if they're small.. but managing a million mail accounts... leave that to a hosting company you can blame when things go wrong.01:32
thafreakI was like now, the hardware is fine...i just need to re-setup everything01:32
thafreakwell after this mess, I01:32
thafreakI may push them towards google business again01:33
thafreaksee if they bite now01:33
canthus13google business... that can be expensive, quick.01:33
canthus13fifty bucks per year per account iirc.01:34
canthus13but worth it for a few accounts.01:35
thafreakyeah...but there's nothing else really out there as comprehensive01:49
thafreakexcept all the places offering hosted exchange...and well fuck that noise01:49
canthus13ew. exchange.02:05
* canthus13 has been on a few really bad dates with exchange. :/02:05
thafreakyeah, my univeristy just switched all of us employees...from exchange02:06
thafreakto HOSTED exchange02:06
canthus13OWA?02:06
canthus13my girl's school uses OWA. :/02:06
thafreakthing is, I had software that talked to our exchange server via OWA, and gave me an imap server02:06
thafreaksso I could use tbird still02:07
thafreakbut now that it's hosted, it uses federated login crap and does all this redirect stuff...02:07
thafreakneedless to say, my software no longer works :(02:07
thafreaknow I'm stuck with the web version of the desktop outlook client02:07
thafreakif I hated the desktop client...why would I like the near clone of it, but with more complicated to find anything features02:08
* thafreak is half tempted to set up a mailserver and forward all my exchange mails >:)02:09
canthus13Heh.02:09
thafreakOh, and hosted exchange supports IMAP...but the geniuses on campus deemed it too insecure...or some other halfassed answer, and won't allow it to be enabled02:09
thafreakprobably cause the stupid federated login bullsh*t02:10
thafreakFYI. for anyone who cares...imapcopy, which is in the debian repos, works great for copying mail from one imap server to another02:11
thafreaknone of the other tools I ran across I could get to work well...02:11
thafreakso I'm giving imapcopy a recomendation here :)02:11
canthus13cool.02:12
canthus13I just need to fight my way through getting postfix to allow connections from off-server.02:12
* canthus13 idd it once before... then the server committed suicide.02:12
thafreakarchivemail also was cool...but it mainly just pulled mails from imap, put them in a n mbox and gzipped it02:13
thafreaki have one user with over 18k emails...in the inbox :/02:14
thafreaknot in subfolders of inbox...right there in the inbox02:14
canthus13bet that's fun when it loads...02:15
thafreakthat's going to take hours02:15
thafreakyeah...i have no sympathy for them complaining about email being slow02:15
thafreakneed to make sure their laptop isn't missing the delete key02:16
canthus13Our nitwit network admins shut down a guy who had a setup like that because it kept syncing across the internet.. they thought he was running a mail server. (Which is against TOS without a static IP...)02:16
canthus13something like 10GB every time he synced.02:16
canthus13not sure if he was just reinstalling all the time, or outlook was having issues, or what.02:16
thafreakthat's a silly amount of email02:16
* canthus13 figures he was prolly keeping every spam he ever received.02:16
thafreaki'm half tempted to dump all my old email to gzip'd mbox files...so I can search with zgrep02:17
thafreakplus I rarely look at it...02:17
thafreakI tend to keep it all on gmail since I can search gmail pretty easily...but I can also pretty easily ssh to a box and bust out zgrep02:18
canthus13zgrep?02:19
thafreakSo, your TOS would not allow any of my machines then02:19
thafreakthey all have email servers for sending me email when things happen :)02:19
canthus13thafreak: not unless you had a static IP. then you can do pretty much anything legal.02:19
thafreakwhat if the email all just looks like normal smtp traffic to gmail?02:19
canthus13and if they only sent a few messages here and there, it wouldn't matter. they're more worried about illegal spam servers.02:19
canthus13this dude had a pretty constant stream of mail straffic.02:20
thafreakah, not crypted mail traffic02:20
canthus13*traffic02:20
thafreakyes, zgrep is the gzip friendly version of grep02:20
thafreakthere's also a bzgrep too02:20
thafreakkinda like zcat | grep02:20
canthus13ah. cool.02:21
* thafreak tends to use it alot on compressed rotated logs02:21
gilbertpaultag: seems like a great idea :)05:39
gilbertpaultag: is there a charge to create a bof05:39
gilbertpaultag: btw, what day are you getting in?05:39
* gilbert really needs to check irc more often05:39
andygraybealmorning11:52
paultaggilbert: don't think so, and friday night with mathay12:01
paultagbrb, work12:01
paultagCheri703: you should get on the re-app for Ohio14:31
paultagCheri703: also, what's up the the package, did it get in?14:31
paultagwe will get unapproved if nothing goes on14:32
Cheri703I had sent the request and got a positive response, it's getting shipped to itsafork, so I'll check in with him to let me know when it arrives14:57
paultagack, ty :)14:58
canthus13Yarr... It be Talk Like A Pirate Day, mateys.15:08
paultag11:08 <+CERNTHERS13> ERR... ERT BE TERLK LERKE A PERTE DER, MAHTERS.15:08
* canthus13 got a reprimand from a giggling supervisor for Talk Like a Pirate Day a couple of years ago...15:08
paultagdid you take support calls like that?15:09
canthus13I did... 'til I got told not to.15:09
paultag:)15:10

paultagIf the conf-packs still have them, we might have Kubuntu CDs15:58
DarkwingI'll have some paper flyers stuff and if they arrive in time I might have some stickers15:58
paultagbut I don't know the state of that15:58
DarkwingKubuntu doesn't get CDs anymore.15:59
paultagah.15:59
paultagwell, fuck.15:59
DarkwingPart of the whole "Canonical dropping commercial support thing"15:59
paultagah.15:59
paultagwhat a shame.15:59
paultagI'll have to find my Kubuntu shirt to wear.15:59
Darkwingand Riddell isn't getting a ride to UDS (Me either actually, ignoring the LoCo stuff I do) anymore either.16:00
paultagle sigh16:00
DarkwingI'll have an older Kubuntu polo I'm wearing.16:00
paultagbecome debian contributors16:00
paultagthen say you're fostering upstream collaboration16:00
DarkwingI'm staying with Kubuntu... we are working on getting outside commercial support. $2500 was donated randomly to help get developers to UDS16:01
paultaglegit.16:02
DarkwingPlus, with Blue Systems... we are going to actually have a swag budget16:03
DarkwingOh, to the rest of the Ohio Loco... I'm David Wonderly AKA Darkwing. I was a lead in the California Loco till I moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana. :D I'm also on the Kubuntu council and a Kubuntu/KDE developer.16:04
paultag^516:14
canthus13Darkwing: Cool. I may be rooming with the guy that runs ILF on saturday night...16:23
DarkwingOh good. I wanted to get with him...16:23
DarkwingI helped setup and run SCaLE last year.16:23
Darkwing(Southern California Linux Expo)16:24
DarkwingI'm only going to be able to be there on Sat.16:24
canthus13Darkwing: I'll be by the Ubuntu booth on saturday.. I'll introduce you.16:24
DarkwingAwesome.16:24

DarkwingOh sweet.16:25
DarkwingI'll be bringing my Girlfriend (New to linux) with me.16:25
DarkwingWhat booth is his?16:25
canthus13ILF usually has a booth at OLF.16:26
canthus13That's where he'll be.16:26
DarkwingOh cool!16:26
DarkwingHe lurk IRC somewhere?16:27

paultaghurm.17:05
paultagI forgot who that was.17:05
paultagsomeone with a kilt, for sure.17:05
snap-lYeah, because there's so few men with bald heads and kilts at tech conferences17:14
snap-lIt's like saying "Oh, he's the guy with glasses and a T-shirt"17:15
paultagtrue enough :)17:15
thafreakgotta love this...17:25
thafreak"Also fyi image preview does work with pngs in the first principle site;17:26
thafreakjust not pdfs.  For now, that will work."17:26
thafreakit's probably because pdf's are not technically images...17:26
Cheri703itsafork has confirmed: Conference pack has arrived, still waiting on CD shipment and UW stuff17:42
paultag\o/17:43
Cheri703yep :)17:44

Darkwingpaultag: either that or as a caption: "Then I told them that the iPhone 5 was innovative."19:56
paultaghaha19:57
paultagthat next iphone will be so fucking squashed19:57
paultaghow can you watch movies anymore? :)19:57
DarkwingI just hope that Samsung holds true to their promise of the lawsuit after the "Rounded corners" one from Apple..19:58
DarkwingBecause Samsung did 4G first :D19:58
paultagall these suits are fucking stupid19:58
paultagout with the laywers19:58
paultaglawyers19:59
DarkwingYeah I agree.19:59
Unit193My grandfather is a retired one...19:59
Darkwingit was effing stupid19:59
paultagmy next few weeks are so busy20:00
Darkwingwish mine was :/20:01
paultagnah dude20:02
paultagoverly busy20:02
paultagevery weekend is just loaded now20:03
DarkwingI'm not working again... The company I was working for folded. :/20:14
paultagwait, what? I thought you were working for something super stable20:15
DarkwingI was... and it was super stable...20:28
DarkwingThen I guess the owners son embezzled a bunch of money and it was legal because of some signatures20:29
DarkwingSo they had to fold.20:29
paultagdafuq20:29
DarkwingYeah.20:29
DarkwingI guess he told his dad (The owner) that it was one thing and it wasn't20:29
paultagthat's absurdity20:30
Darkwingso, it was totally legal but ended up crashing the effing company20:30
DarkwingSo, I'm jobless again.20:30
Cheri703that happens a lot more than people think :/ yay human greed!20:38
thafreakif you were buying mobile broadband device...would you get the usb stick, or the wifi enabled hotspot20:40
Darkwingwifi hotspot.20:40
thafreakyou don't think those are less secure?20:41
DarkwingNope. WPA2 is WPA220:41
thafreakthe chances of some one cracking my wpa2 and stealing my bandwidth aren't that high?20:41
Cheri703you can often plug them in20:41
Cheri703directly to the computer20:41
DarkwingNo more than piggybacking your mobile signal.20:41
paultagthafreak: usually, they have an indicator with how many are connecting20:42
paultagerm, connected20:42
thafreakhttp://store.truconnect.com/devices/truconnect-mifi.html20:42
Cheri703"Micro USB port for charging and tethered use"20:42
Cheri703so you can have it plugged in for "security" and wifi for convenience20:42
thafreakso, forgive me as I haven't looked into this much, I just usually avoid wifi when possible20:42
Darkwingahhhh.20:42
thafreakif two people are on the same wpa2 wifi, can they see each other's traffic?20:43
paultagno20:43
paultagthat's an unencrypted thing20:43
paultagsince you won't get the packets when you're in promisc mode20:43
* Cheri703 did support for AT&T and the mifi devices and such20:43
thafreakso each device gets it's own key I guess20:43
paultagyeah20:43
paultagjust like ssl20:43
yanoyou'd need to set your wifi card to monitor mode20:43
paultagyano: that only works for unencrypted packets20:43
paultagWPA uses symetrical keypairs to avoid that20:44
paultag(and friends)20:44
* thafreak has been meaning to set up a dummy wifi to experiment with20:44
paultagsymmetrical20:44
thafreakthat's what she said20:44
yanoif one disconnects from an AP, set their wifi card to monitor mode, fires up airodump-ng, saves traffic of friend on AP, assuming they know the PSK for the AP they can un-encrypt the saved packets20:44
yanoi'm skipping over a few steps, but that's the gist of the idea20:45
paultagyou're assuming it's using a PSK20:45
paultagerm, wait20:45
paultagyou're assuming you've cracked the PSK20:45
paultagwhich is not really as easy as you were making it out to be20:46
paultag16:43 < yano> you'd need to set your wifi card to monitor mode20:46
yanotrue20:48
thafreakbut if I know the psk, can I then decrypt the traffic from other people on the wpa2?20:48
yanothafreak: yes20:49
thafreakis that why they say the enterprise mode where there is no psk is better?20:49
yanohence why you want to limit who you give your PSK out to20:49
yanothafreak: yea because the username AND the password are hashed together20:49
thafreakcause we use wpa2 at work...but it's like radius auth or something, no psk20:49
yanobecause not only would you need someone else's username but also their password20:49
yanoyea, OSU has a Radius server set up with PEAP20:50
thafreakhmm...I think I'm doing radius auth for my house then20:50
yanomeh, i tried it once. huge PITA20:50
yanobut then again that was 3 years ago20:50
yanoand since i was the only user, i said screwed it and just changed my PSK once a month (use to use something from http://grc.com/password )20:50
yanonot many APs let you give them the 64 character hexidecimal for the PSK (which is basically a representation of the 63 printable ASCII characters (assuming you are using 63 characters, which you should be!))20:52
yanothe 64 character hexidecimal representation is actually the 256 bit key and it's derived by using the PBKDF2 algorithm on the provided PSK (for example if you provided something like "p@ssw0rd" as your password, it would PBKDF2(p@ssw0rd) and that's the 64 character hexideciaml representation)20:55
thafreakwell, mobile broadband ordered...I hope it arrives before I leave for OLF...21:01
skellatthafreak: Which provider?21:03
