bigcalmCan one tell these Cisco phones about NTP?09:09
bigcalmThe thought of changing the time on it twice a year seems odd to me09:09
directhexNTP isn't the issue, TZ is the issue09:16
directhexNTP gives time in UTC09:16
bigcalmGood point09:17
bigcalmWith both NTP and proper TZ info, I wouldn't have to set the time at all!09:17
MooDoohello all09:17
MartijnVdSmoo!09:17
directhexthe point is the phone needs to change TZ from GMT to GMT+1 and back again on specific dates09:17
directhexso i made our polycoms do it rece ntly, but i don't know the syntax for cisco09:18
MartijnVdSchange the config, make all phones reboot, done :P09:18
directhexit's 15 config settings on the polycoms09:19
directhex        tcpIpApp.sntp.daylightSavings.start.dayOfWeek="1"09:19
directhexetc09:19
bigcalmIf I had multiple desk phones to manage, then I'd invest time in making it happen. But as we have 1 desk phone per remote worker (3), not that fussed :)09:23
bigcalmIt's nice that they have a web interface09:23
bigcalmMy only grumble is that it takes up a fair patch of space of my desk09:24

diploHope someone can help me whilst I google at the same time11:18
diploWe have a lot of customers hosting email on mini itx boxes, I've resolved a few issues but as they are hosted on Business DSL lines we are getting marked as spam I expect because of no Reverse DNS11:18
MartijnVdSlikely11:19
MartijnVdSor bad reverse dns11:19
diploAs far as I am aware, I can contact the ISP to get tha tresolved as it's a business line11:19
MartijnVdSowner of the IP block, but yes, most likely the isp11:19
diploSo I get a received from domain.co.uk ( xx-xx-xx-dsl.in-addr.xxx.co.uk )11:20
diploI'm guessing the DSL shuld return domain.co.uk or should it return mail.domain.co.uk ?11:20
diploThat's the bit I'm not clear on11:20
diploOnly mail hosted on these boxes11:20
MartijnVdSdiplo: the reverse should match the forward11:22
MartijnVdSdiplo: so if they're named mail.domain.co.uk, make that the reverse11:22
diddledandiplo: AFAICR the reverse dns for your IP should be the hostname of the box (as MartijnVdS says it needs to be matched with a forward record) which should also match what the smtp server says when it says EHLO11:23
diploAh ok great thanks11:23
diploJust found the ISP's support site at last which allows me to do it via their portal it seems11:23
diploHmm my issue is the linux box that sends these mails uses the mailserver SMTP but seems to have the HELO record from the linux box that is using that SMTP11:26
diploI think I need to play mroe11:26
diplo:)11:26
diploBah whatever I do it sends the HELO from the server I'm sending the mail from and not the SMTP server11:47

daftykinsDJones: i like to think you pulled up in a car with flashing lights when you said 'stop' in #ubuntu :D14:36
DJonesHeh14:36
DJonesThe phone rang so I couldn't continue with it14:38
daftykins:)14:39
mappsah well14:55
mappsfriend lost 900 quid last night14:56
mappswas almost in tears!14:56
mappsevery time we go out he barely leaves the blackjack table14:56
dwatkinsso it wasn't lost so much as gambled away?14:57
mappsyep14:57
mappsbegged me to borrow 250 blows it14:58
dwatkinsstill gutting, but not "it fell down a drain"14:58
mappswithdraw 400 more then more at other casino14:58
mappseverytime he does this barely leaves table14:58
* bigcalm shudders at gambling14:58
mappsi have to mither him to get him to leave14:58
dwatkinslikewise, bigcalm14:58
dwatkinsI prefer to spend my money on shiny tech14:58
mappsi spent years gambling14:59
dwatkinsalso, I'm really good at getting addicted to things14:59
mappsand yea..didnt realy do me any favours14:59
dwatkinsmy current addiction is "solving problems", which fits in quite well with my job14:59
mappsits a horrid feeling worrying about a 50 quid bill14:59
mappswhen you just blew thousands14:59
mappsso stupid14:59
dwatkinsit makes all kinds of conversations difficult, though - I'm terrible at consoling people, I just want to fix their problems14:59
daftykinsyou won't catch me even buying a lottery ticket15:05
dwatkinssame here15:07
dwatkinsI know the odds.15:07
dwatkinsSomeone I know occasionally wins a tenner on the lottery, I just think of how much money he spends on tickets each year.15:08
bigcalmOnly place I might win money is on my NS&I bonds15:09
bigcalmEither way, not losing money is the best feeling15:10
Laneypremium bonds?15:16
bigcalmYus15:21
bigcalmI have £30k of them. Will find out at the beginning of May if I've 'won' any money15:21
=== marcushaslam_ is now known as marcushaslam
Laneyyou need to win ${inflation}% to not lose :P15:22
bigcalmYep15:22
Laneyto be fair my savings accounts barely manage that15:23
Laneybut at least you know what you're getting15:23
bigcalmIndeed, same for us15:23
bigcalmThis way it's a bit of fun at the same time15:23
LaneyI cashed out my bonds because they got me naff all over 5 years15:23
Laneywasn't worth the gamble15:23
Laneydidn't have 30k though, so not as much chance of getting lucky15:23
bigcalmThe money is in there ready for a mortgage deposit. This way we have a bit of fun in winning money15:23
bigcalmWe don't know when we'll need the mortgage deposit. But if it's soon, then they would have made bugger all interest in a normal savings account15:24
bigcalmThis way, there is a slight chance of winning £1m without losing anything15:25
dwatkinsyou can take the money out at any time?15:25
bigcalmYes15:25
dwatkinsawesome15:25
bigcalmBut it has to be in for a full calendar month to be entered into the prise draw15:25
bigcalm£30k is the maximum. So we have other money in normal ISA account15:26
dwatkinshmmm, I need to know my account number to register15:29
* dwatkins e-mails a parent15:29
dwatkinsI had £100 in bonds many moons ago, perhaps there's still some paperwork in a drawer somewhere15:30
bigcalmRegistering for online account management means printing off a form and posting it to Glasgow!15:30
bigcalm7 day turn around on getting my login details15:31
bigcalmSame turn around for a change of address. Though to a different address15:31
dwatkinsI can walk there quicker than that.15:31
ali1234premium bonds used to be better than most savings accounts if you had the maximum amount (which just increased in the budget btw)15:57
bigcalmOh?15:58
* bigcalm goes to look15:58
ali1234if you calculate the probability i mean, you used to get something like 5%15:58
ali1234you need a lot to avoid variance though15:58
bigcalmWebsite still says the maximum investment is £30k15:59
ali1234i'm 75% sure they increased it in the budget though it might not have come in to effect yet15:59
popeyyeah, my dad had the max15:59
* bigcalm does more googling15:59
popeywas quite a tidy amount now and then in his retirement15:59

bigcalmhttp://www.nsandi.com/chancellor-announces-plans-nsi-2014-budget16:00
bigcalmWah, long way off16:01
ali1234ISA limits have also been increased16:01
ali1234or will be16:01
bigcalmWe're hoping that our house buying chain picks up speed and we'll be using our mortgage deposit sooner rather than later16:02
ali1234you can get instant cash ISAs... they're not great though16:02
bigcalmThat said, it would still be nice to win something before we need to withdraw16:02
bigcalmYeah, we already have 216:03
ali1234i wish they'd outlawed the "no transfers" thing, it's really annoying16:03

diddledanok, I have several computers. I want to maintain a list of known security issues related to any or all of them and have the ability to mark each system as patched individually as I get the job done. so it's a bi-directional list - each system is listed separately and each patch is listed separately and I want to mark each patch against each system depending on whether it's relevant, fixed, or still todo18:20
diddledanthe best I can come up with is creating a spreadsheet18:21
diddledandoes anyone know of a "better way"?18:21

bigcalmRight, lets try and get this switch working20:28
diddledanI wonder what the other endpoint on pci address 3:00 is in addition to your realtek network20:29
diddledanspecifically 3:00.0 where your ethernet is 3:00.120:30
daftykinsdiddledan: perhaps some kind of intermediary PCI-E chip 0o20:46
bigcalm!ding20:53

daftykinso rly20:56
daftykinsdid you have DD/open-wrt on the former?20:56
bigcalmopen-wrt, yes20:57
bigcalmI had that router because it has a USB port and I can share my phone's 3g connection via it to the LAN20:57
bigcalmBut I need more ethernet ports20:57

daftykinsoh right so you have done20:59

daftykinshaha20:59
