diddledanin my view: anyone who turns into a nutjob should be called a nutjob00:08
diddledanand that's all I have to say on the matter :-p00:08
shaunoI'm just wary of labelling people on that vague a description.  "terrorist activities" can mean pretty much anything these days00:09
diddledanobviously definitions of nutjob vary00:09
maps|wrksure it can00:09
maps|wrkbut these bunch be it white or asian are barmy00:09
shaunoeg, to the police, almost everything can fall under terrorist activities, because it means they get to use all the nice new super-vague powers they've been given00:09

SuperMattwhat you need is a small rackspace cloud server07:14
SuperMatt:P07:14
nigelbOr digital ocean07:14

nigelbDo you work at Rackspace? :P07:15
SuperMattnoooooooooooooyes07:15
diplonigelb, I now have a DO droplet, just not touched it in a few weeks07:16
diploBusy..07:16
diploSuperMatt, do them as cheap as DO ?07:16
diploI did check them out at one point I'm sure07:16
nigelbSuperMatt: heh07:16
nigelbRackspace potentially has better routing.07:16
nigelbDO has fairly crappy routing :)07:17
nigelbwhich is fine for the cost.07:17
SuperMattI don't know what DO pricing is like, tbh07:17

smittixMorning07:18
mappsone more tea then bed07:18

mappsSuperMatt you run your own email server?07:20
diddledanmapps stay awake with us that have to work during the day!07:21
diddledanmapps like we do overnight with you :-p07:21
diddledan(well, I do, and shauno sometimes does)07:21
mappspfffffff07:22
diddledanemail servers are a pain07:22
SuperMattmapps: yeah07:22
mappsno chance...)07:22
mappsyea07:22
mappsi was hoping someone could point me in the direction ofa good tutorial07:22
smittixEspecially when they run exchange (:07:22
SuperMattthough I route my email out via mailgun07:22
mappsso i can just mess about and learn how to do it07:22
SuperMattI found the ubuntu community help page is good07:22
mappswhat do you use then dovecot/postfix what kinda thing07:23
SuperMattbut I'll be serious: install webmin. Use that to turn on and off options and stuff until you find it works07:23
SuperMattdovecot and postfix, yes07:23
mappsanything else?07:23
diddledandovecot and postfix are pretty much the only sane option IMO07:23
mappsyou dont need anything else for it to work?07:23
diddledanI did run a dovecot/qmail for a while. qmail is esoteric07:24
mappsi could try webmin but i think id have to compile from source as my apache install was manual? and when i installed zentyal it screwedthings up:)07:24
diddledanfor qmail to be secure/useful you need to patch it up the wazoo07:24
mappsyea07:24
mappsso all i need is dovecot and postfix?07:24
mappscoolies07:24
jussiwebmin.... is that now working with ubuntu?07:24
jussi!webmin07:24
lubotu3webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.07:24
SuperMattah, fair enough07:25
mappsah07:25
diddledano_O07:25
mappsso is that a yes..thats all i need?:D07:25
diddledanwhat exactly is incompatible about the way it handles config files?07:25
mappssomeone answer me:(07:26
jussididdledan: I have actually no idea to be honest, and they may have fixored it...07:26
jussi!-webmin07:26
lubotu3webmin has no aliases - added by Seveas on 2006-06-18 19:18:33 - last edited by tsimpson on 2011-03-03 21:32:4507:26
diddledansorry, mapps , yes postfix and dovecot will provide both incoming and outgoing support07:26
mappsive got another question ..maybe SuperMatt knows is it possible to change it from /~user on mod_userdir07:26
jussiold factoid..07:26
mappsso like http://ip/user07:26
mappsno ~07:26
mappsi couldn't see anywhere in the config07:27
diddledanmapps you might want to add some extras for email scanning or routing to folders such as procmail (the latter) and spamassassin/clamav (the former)07:28
mappsyea id read about clamav07:28
mappsi was just a bit confused reading about MTA etc07:28
mappswhat exactly are dovecot/postfix07:28
diddledanMTA is the part that postfix provides : "mail transfer agent" - the smtp side07:29
mappsand what does dovecot provide07:29
SuperMattmapps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer07:30
SuperMattthat's what I used07:30
diddledanthe other one is MDA I believe or Mail Delivery Agent which is a combo of dovecot for serving it out to the end-user's client and procmail for delivery-time filtering into specific folders07:30
SuperMattbut you've got to have a good grasp of how mail works07:30
SuperMattin fact yes, before anyone sets up a mailserver *ever* they need to have a good grasp of how email works07:31
SuperMattI'm tired of explaining to people why their servers are sending out spam and why I simply can't unblock them from spam lists07:31
mappsheh07:31
diddledanSuperMatt I guess you get alot of that kind of request07:32
mappsi understand email basics, smtp/imap/pop3 but not too knowledgable on MTA/MDA07:32
mappsil read that page thanks SuperMatt07:33
SuperMattyeah, I think that's the best place to start07:33
mappsany idea about my 2nd question? which isnt really important07:33
mappsits more just curious if its possible07:33
SuperMattwhat was the question?07:33
mappswell ive got apache working with mod_userdir so http://frogs.zapto.org/~mark is it possible to make it /mark not ~/mark07:34
mappsi know i could do some kinda redir or mod_rewrite i think07:34
diddledanyou could use mod_rewrite to silently convert from /foo to /~foo07:35
mappsyea07:35
mappsthats what i thought..so no way of doing it in the actual config file..i did check the config file and couldnt see anything07:36
diddledanRewriteRule /([^~].*) /~$107:36
diddledanthe rewrite rule can go in the config file07:36
mappsyou can change the userdir from public_html to something else..but i couldnt see any point..i guess most people just stick with public_html?07:36
diddledanthere's no requirement for rewrites to be controlled solely by .htaccess files07:37
mappsyea07:37
mappsthanks07:40
mappsil read that ubuntu community page at work tomorrow07:40

diddledanhold your horses there, people have facebooks that I'm not stalking?!10:08

smittixheh10:08
smittixI stalk you all on Google+10:08
diddledanI really should g+ more10:08
* smittix goes back into the shadows.10:08
smittixI like G+10:09
smittixI need to connect with more like minded folk.10:09
diddledanfacebook is where my family are, and g+ is where the geeks are10:09
MooDoo:)10:09
diddledanif only I could get my family to move10:10
smittixYeah but then you'd have to get their friends to move and then their friends and then their friends.10:10
smittixFor them to stay heh10:10
diddledanindeed10:10
MooDooI've tried closing facebook, but either get moaned at coz my family are on at, or the damn devil keeps making me re-open my account.10:10
shaunoI found a really easy way to get rid of fb10:12
shaunojust wait until a sibling has their first child.  you'll never open it again10:12
MooDooluckily my sis has already had her kids lol10:13
popeyi only have my family on fb, nobody else10:16
MooDoohmmm no there is a plan10:17
bashcI follow the typical Facebook profile.  I was on it from the early days when it first was opened to the general public rather than just ivy league universities.  Stopped using it in 2010, closed account in 2011 then rejoined at the end of 201310:17
popeyand only really use it for keeping in touch with them and seeing updates from kids school and dance class10:17
jussipopey: thats a good idea10:17
popeyworks for me10:17
bashcmy reasons for re-joining were similar to those given by James Vasile in a Freedombox talk10:17
smittixI may do that. I wil delete MooDoo first.10:17
popeywise10:17
smittix:P10:18
popeyhow many times have you deleted your fb account now MooDoo ? ☻10:18
popey(I have once)10:18
jussiyeah, that MooDoo, shady character..10:18
diddledandeleting MooDoo is always on my wishlist10:18
diddledan:-p10:18
nigelbMooDoo: THe best soluttion is to keep it deactivated10:18
nigelband activate only when/if needed.10:18

* diddledan carries on cleaning his gun10:18
* TheOpenSourcerer is pondering deleting his LinkedIn account - beginning to really dislike them10:18
nigelbTheOpenSourcerer: I thought about it.10:18
nigelbBut if you delete your linkedin account10:19
bashcFacebook is the lowest on my social media food chain.  I use Friendica which posts to pump.io which posts to Twitter which posts to Facebook10:19
MooDooTheOpenSourcerer: I did that a few months ago, was getting tons of spam10:19
nigelbthose connection requests and it's reminders keep coming :(10:19
jussiunfortunately linked in is a big part of my work...10:19
jussi(I have a paid linked in account)10:19
smittixTheOpenSourcerer: I constantly get recruitment agencies adding me and IT suppliers. Fills my inbox10:19
shaunoprocmail vs linkedin \o/10:19
TheOpenSourcererI do not like their Ts & Cs one iota.10:19
jussismittix: Im an IT supplier - can I add you? :P :P :P10:20
diddledanI joined a load of linkedin groups related to my line-of-work. BIG N00B mistake!10:20
shaunoI junked it years ago.  it started off bad, and just got worse.  it's near useless now.10:20
TheOpenSourcererWhen you get bored read this: http://www.hrexaminer.com/why-i-killed-my-linkedin-account/10:20
popeyi deleted my linkedin10:20
MooDoome too10:20
jussismittix: actually, curiousity question - How would you actually _like_ prospective suppliers to contact you?10:21
diddledannow I have emails daily with things highlighted along the lines of "in which country you are developer?" (exact phrasing!)10:21
nigelbjussi: what does paying for it give you?10:21
popeynigelb: nope, you can block the connection requests too10:21
nigelbpopey: OH. HOW?10:21
popeylink at the bottom10:21
popeyi have had to do it 3 times, once per main email address I use10:21
jussinigelb: seeing full profiles, who looks at your profile and such things. oh and inmails to contact people outside your network10:21
smittixjussi: To be honest I've never thought about it. I like to approach them first I guess.10:21
popeyi never see them now10:21
nigelbI never had those work.10:21
nigelbI keep unsubscribing.10:21
* smittix is trying steam on ubuntu for the first time.10:22
popeythere's an extra "never send me this crap" button10:22
* popey hugs steam10:22
TheOpenSourcererI rarely use LN and really think people can find me if they need to.10:22
shaunoI've got rid of most of them.  it's just the "foo is still waiting for your reply" that they send using the user's email address rather than their own10:22
jussismittix: so I guess the question is then, how do you find new suppliers?10:22
TheOpenSourcererAs I can find them10:22
popeyyeah, the whole social referral thing is overrated10:22
smittixjussi: I hunt them down on the interwebz10:22
smittixjussi: But I like to go with recommendations from people I know.10:23
MooDoosmittix: works fine, downloaded a few games last night for it :D10:23
shaunothe referral thing went down the pan when they started fishing for recommendations on your behalf.  and then your friends feel obligated to fill them out because they think *you* are asking *them*, rather than just the systel trolling them10:23
smittixMooDoo: Is CSS available?10:23
jussismittix: hrm, ok.10:23
MooDoosmittix: I think that's the one I've downloaded...10:23

popeydirecthex: what does that mean? ☻10:49
directhexearbuds are worth 18.5 keys.10:49
popeyhe said he was collecting for a charity of some bs10:49
directhexyeah, that's BS10:50
directhexbuds are one of the most valuable standard barter items. converted price is about 35USD10:51
popeyheh10:51
foobarry107.95 up front and 2.25 pm for whole year of phone and broadband \o/10:51
popeydirecthex: he's offering me money now ☻10:52
directhexthere are three standard units of exchange10:52
directhex"buds" are the apple earbuds given to early users of steam on mac. because the supply is fixed, they are usable as a commodity trade item.10:52
popeyhe offered 20 eur ☻10:53
directhex"keys" are purchased for cash, and needed to open occasional "crate" rewards from the game. you can buy them for £1.49 each from valve10:53
directhex"ref" is "refined metal", it's the basic input material for crafting tf2 items. people need ref in order to create specific desired items. it's the lowest value common trade currency. it's about 145 ref to 1 bud10:54
popeyhe's offering paypal money10:54
popeywhich I guess he'll pull back once the sale is done?10:55
directhex"bill's hat" has fallen out of fashion as a currency10:56
directhexpopey, he might. might not. €20 is undervaluing it, it might be a legit offer where the only scamming is offering you 20% under its value10:56
MooDoodamn keyboard10:57
directhexpopey, trading for steam games is safer, if you have games you want10:57

smittixDoes anyone know of an indicator or something to tell me which graphics card steam is using?11:16
diddledansmittix: if it is smooth then it's using the ubercard, otherwise it's using intel god that's poor (IGP)11:17

davmor2smittix: you on an optimus laptop or something?11:18
smittixdavmor2: Yeah11:22
davmor2smittix: how do you have it setup with nvidia-prime or bumblebee?11:23
smittixWhatever the default is.11:23
smittixI haven't touched any of that yet.11:23
davmor2smittix: then you are just using intel11:23
smittixdavmor2: Should I install nvidia-prime then?11:24
smittixIt installed an Nvidia driver earlier though11:24
davmor2smittix: you need to install nvidia-331 and nvidia-prime, then you can open nvidia settings and select it under prime-options or something like that11:26
smittixdavmor2: Ta, will check it out11:26
MooDoocome now davmor2 don't pretend you know what you're doing!11:26

shaunohere's a bad sign.  timing page load times.  went off and made coffee.  it's still going.11:42
diddledan1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi ..11:43
diddledanshauno, measure it in cups11:43
shaunolol, I wish.  I'm at 15 minutes and counting11:43
diddledanshauno, how come it didn't timeout11:44
shaunothe wonders of javascript11:44
diddledanoh11:44
diddledanare you sure it's actually doing something rather than spinning for the sake of it?11:44
shaunonope.  I'm pretty convinced it doesn't exist.  but dev have assured us it's been "fixed" and it does load.11:45
diddledanstep 1) display spinny thing. step 2) try load a resource. step 3) fail. step 4) ... step 5) profit? step x) were we meant to do something with that spinny thing?11:46
popeyInteresting, Steam update.. it now says "SteamOS + Linux" in the dropdown, not just Linux anymore11:47
diddledanshauno, when this coffee's done, set a screen recorder running and hit reload. go make a coffee. 30 minutes later hit stop on the screen recorder and send the video to the dev11:47
diddledanat the least it'll make him sit through 30 minutes of cr*p11:47
shauno30 minutes might not be long enough.  it takes 68 seconds to load an account containing one entry.  I'm trying to pull up a corp-sized account.  if it scales linear, it should be loaded by time I go home11:48

smittixhaha12:51
smittixI'm sticking that on my blog12:51
Myrttithen the official comic relief, princess' sibling Pepe thinks he's a dog.12:52
Myrttifavourite toy of all time is a soda bottle top, or a plastic twist top of any kind, that he brings to anyone and asks it to be thrown so he can fetch it.12:53
daftykins:D12:54
smittixTom likes biting peoples toes12:54
daftykins'fetch' with any pets at my parents place always meant 'throw and never see again'12:54
Myrttino, he literally brings the bottle top over, drops it on your lap, or next to you in your bed, or better yet if you have a plate, on your plate, mews, and if there's something he can do it on, does the whole 'duck retriever dog' pose and mews again if you're too slow to throw the top for him12:59

daftykinsput the array together back in Jan 2008 as an upgrade from the prior 8 x 250GB15:51
penguin42The 3wares were always the best for reliability/doing the right thing - but can you get any write bandwidth from it15:51
mappsi need to build a new server at some point..no idea on motherboards/cpus anymore, any i get will be fine for a raidcard anyway?15:51
daftykinspenguin42: i can't say i've really got any metrics to confirm, only tend to copy onto it from the Downloads drive, so it's only really reliability i go for15:52
daftykinsnaturally it's more than enough to saturate gigabit LAN15:52
daftykinsmapps: well as you would see if the pic link worked for you (try again? :) ) the RAID controller is in a second PCI-E 16x slot, though it itself is only an 8x card15:53

mappsbasically just a machine thatll sit there and store all my films/tv/music and a few other things ..it wont run any servers http/vpn etc ..vpn/http/squid will be run on my old machine16:04
mappsthisll just be storage and possibly used to download from or to...#16:04
daftykinsyou might even be better off just getting a Synology NAS then16:06
daftykinsbut a full computer is muchly tempting since then you can run anything you want16:06
mappsyea id prefer to be able to do what i want16:07
mappsmaybe use xbmc who knows mythtv etc16:07
daftykinslow power i-series intels may well be at a premium, lets see16:07
daftykinsmapps: so that definitely doesn't work in your browser? https://www.dropbox.com/s/06yr18f57620t9v/IMG_20140430_140324.jpg16:07
daftykinsi can pop it up elsewhere if not16:08
mappssec16:08
mappsaha now it did16:08
mapps:D16:08
mappsi was thinking some kinda low power setup maybe 4-6gb ram ...4x2tb ...just dunno case/cpu/16:09
mappsand then just run ubuntu server no gui needed16:09
daftykins*nod*16:10
daftykinshang on i have some geek pr0n you'd appreciate16:10
mappsan i5 or something would be too overpowered?16:10
mappsdont think its needed16:10
daftykinsyeah definitely16:10
daftykinsbut i was wondering if a low power i3 might exist16:10
mappsyea16:10
daftykins£70 exc VAT on ebuyer for an i3 413016:11
mappswhat case though? those micro ones are nice - i used to like those shuttle pcs..had a load of them at uni in one of the rooms16:11
daftykinshrmm 54W TDP16:11
daftykinscould definitely do way better than that power wise16:11
daftykinsperhaps even one of these funky AMD APUs might be good power wise16:11
daftykinswell disk space would be your controlling factor there16:11
mappsi cant see how many hdds those hps can take..u sure it says on that site16:12
mappsyea16:12
mappsi was just saying those shuttles were nicep16:12
mapps;p16:12
daftykinsit wasn't my link but i don't remember nah16:12
diddledanthe HP micros can take 4x3.5in16:12
mappshm16:12
mappsthats not too bad16:12
mappscould chuck 4x2tb in16:13
daftykinsi'd recommend keeping your OS separate from storage volumes though16:13
daftykinssadly with my current array i'm stuck in Windows land as it's an NTFS volume16:13
mappsah16:13
mappsi didnt even think about that16:13
mappsgood point16:13
mappscould us16:14
mappsjust get a 5th and partition it and that16:14

mappshelp me with the cpu/mobo and case daftykins you know better than me16:15
mappsi dont really know what kinda cpu to look for..just know i5/i7 isnt needed for this..its just gonna be a storage vault16:15

diddledanhah, I guessed right16:16
mappsive read about people using atom cpus ..but dont think thats appropriate imo16:16
daftykinsthe very latest atoms might not be too bad, but my HTPC is an atom and...16:16
daftykinsi would not want to do much with that :D16:16
mappsheh16:16
mappsthen what freaking cpu daftykins;p no i5/atom16:17
daftykinsalright alright! :P16:17

daftykinsi of course use it via RDP so it's headless16:18
mapps31.88 thats cheap16:18
mappsand what mobo?16:18
daftykinsstill a 53W TDP on that though16:18
mappsis that a big deal?16:19
daftykinswell it's technically only what it pushes max load16:19
diddledanwhy do I like my typing to make a lot of noise at times16:20

diddledanI sometimes hit the enterkey with menace when I think I've fixed something that's been bugging me and I'm confirming the git commit16:22
diddledancomplete with flaring hand over my shoulder16:22
daftykinsmapps: only trouble with setting up some proper storage, is it's a commitment to keep buying and re-doing every few years... like the situation i'm in now where my disks are old and could continue flaking out at any moment16:22
mappshttp://www.ebuyer.com/546300-asus-h81m-c-socket-1150-dvi-8-channel-hd-audio-matx-motherboard-h81m-c thatd be good enough daftykins?16:22

mappsbut its better than having stuff all over the place on several diff machines16:22
mappsand hdds16:22
daftykins:D16:23
daftykinsdeffo16:23
daftykinshilariously when i built my new array16:23
mappsthat mobo good enough? cheap as chips16:23
diddledandaftykins, plug the new one in immediately!16:23
daftykinsthe old one got its' very first bad sector the very same day16:23
daftykinsi lost exactly one TV episode16:23
daftykins:)16:23
mappsheh16:23
mappsthats ok then16:24
daftykinsthat *is* a very cheap board16:24
daftykinsvery few SATA ports16:24
mappshm16:25
daftykinsyou need to think about how you'd handle the storage16:25
daftykinsmy controller card was £££16:25
daftykinsbut i like that when the you know what and the fan meet, my hair stays quite intact on my head16:25
daftykinsi think a lack of experience on my part would make dealing with software RAID under Linux a very stressful time16:26
mappsyea i imagine itd be a pain for me too16:26
mappsso i should prob chse a diff board16:27
daftykinsdepends on your budget16:27
daftykinsa lot of these guys run those HP microservers so there wouldn't be any shortage of assistance for the software RAID aspect i guess16:28
mappswell dont wanna spend more than necessary..as i say this is just basically a big storage thing16:29
daftykinsyeah, if you combine all the disks into one volume you'd want some fault tolerance though16:29
mappsyea16:29
daftykinsunless you wanna just use the 4 x 2TB as separate volumes16:29
mappsso you mean like have 4x2tb and use 4tb of it as mirror16:29
mapps?16:29
daftykinsRAID5 would lose one disk to parity, so 4 x 2TB would come out as 6TB usable16:30
daftykinsbut any one disk can fail and it'll keep going until you replace it16:30
daftykinsbut a second failure would be game over16:30
mappsbut id know about first and could replace16:32
mapps?16:32
mappshow many SATA ports should i look at getting..surely il err need a raid card16:32
daftykinsyeah i'm sure even software RAID screams at you in logs a fair amount16:32
daftykinsmy 3ware controllers auto verify every Friday night, so i get emails to confirm16:33
daftykinsamusingly i'd just fixed mines email config when i got the email showing a disk was going :)16:33
mappsheh16:33
mappsnice16:33
mappshow many sata ports you think16:34
daftykinswell i always aimed for double the ports i was gonna use16:34
daftykinsthen in future you can add more16:34
daftykinsfirst time i did it i had 8 disks on an 8 port, time came for a new array and i was screwed. had to drop £350+ on a new controller just so i could migrate the data from one to the other16:34
daftykinsnow, i have 6 on a 12 so i can buy another 6 disks and copy over16:35
daftykinsooh i just realised i know someone with a 1TB spare16:35
daftykins8D16:35
mappshmm but u said that mobo doesnt have many ports..does that matter if im getting a raid card?16:35
daftykinsit won't no16:35
daftykinsdepends what you can do in controller terms16:36
daftykinsas i say mine was serious money16:36
daftykinsi got mine from scan.co.uk last time as they offered them16:36
daftykinshttp://www.scan.co.uk/search.aspx?q=3ware16:36
daftykinsheh i used to talk to Frank at Portsmouth Uni about my RAID plans come to think of it :>16:36
daftykins<him> 3ware 3ware 3ware 3ware!16:37
daftykinsthere y'go mapps, bargain - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3ware-sas-9750-24i4e-sgl-24-port-int-4-port-ext-6gb-s-sataplussas-pcie-20-512mb16:37
daftykins:D16:37
daftykinsouch so £431 inc is the cheapest 8 port16:40
daftykinsso yeah big decision to make there16:40
daftykinsyou could just be brave and go the software route :)16:40
MyrttiMay Day eve. Methinks it's time to put the ciders and ginger ale into fridge16:41
Myrttiespecially since the dog cat decided to knead my arm with his nails and it itches and stings like hell now16:41

daftykinssure are16:46
mappsMyrtti what ciders?:D strongbow dark fruitis ace16:46
Myrttimapps: it's a Finnish brand, not sold in UK16:46
daftykinsmapps: you could just get a dumb simple card that offers more ports and just go the software route - totally down to your confidence really :)16:50
mappshmm why would i need a card to go sw route16:52
daftykinsoh you wouldn't16:52
daftykinscould just get the board with more16:53

maps|wrkyou use anything like webmin ior zentyal?23:32
daftykinsnah webmin is dead and unsupported in debian land afaik23:33
daftykins!webmin23:33
lubotu3webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.23:33
daftykinsindeed23:34
daftykinsand not encountered t'other23:34
daftykinsultimately i think it's fair to say, in all seriousness, that anything that holds your hand in Linux land stops you learning it right23:34
maps|wrkyea i agree with that:)23:34
maps|wrkwhat servuices do you run on your box23:34
maps|wrk*services23:34
penguin42daftykins: There are times though when you have to fight something you rarely fight that it's nice to have something that does it for you23:35
maps|wrkon another topic23:38
maps|wrkhas anyone been to bem brasil?23:38
daftykinsis that something other than brazil?23:42
penguin42it's a resteraunt chain specialising in meat23:42
daftykinsah ty23:42
daftykinsdon't have chains here23:42
daftykinspenguin42: definitely true, though i think a solid grounding in the hard-way 'round means you can diagnose it better than the experience obtained from the easy way23:43
daftykinssorry was just gaming thar23:43
penguin42daftykins: Yeh, it's just once in a couple of years you have to fight something rare and never really get the chance or time to get the detail - and you just want the button to press23:43
daftykinsmaps|wrk: my local webserver is just that basically, running a single wordpress instance on a VM atop my real file server, then a second dedicated VM just runs irssi :D23:44
daftykinsmaps|wrk: i have a VPS with bigv.io that holds a 3 or 4 websites too, but nothing special23:45
daftykinsthey are ubuntu server 10.04.4, ditto and debian respectively23:45
daftykins£10/mo for the bigv, single core with 25GB disk, 1GB RAM and 300GB/month traffic i think23:46
maps|wrkwhy a vm just for irssi and a vm just for apache?23:47
maps|wrkpenguin42:  have you been?23:47
penguin42no23:47
maps|wrkah ok23:48
penguin42I think we've got a few in Manc23:48
maps|wrkwas hoping someone had and could tell me if its worth going to23:48
maps|wrkyep23:48
daftykinsshort answer: because i can :) got the file server running 24/7 already, so anything i want can go on top.23:48
maps|wrkgoing to united v hull on sat and was thinking about going to bem brasil rather than nandos;)23:48
maps|wrkqwhy not run it on the file server23:48
daftykinsbecause it's Windows23:48
daftykinsand VMs = ace23:48
penguin42daftykins: I really should move to bigv, I'm on their older (more expensive) VMs23:48
daftykinsoriginally though i did the web server as an experiment into learning how, so not knowing how hard it would be to secure it against the wider world i segregated IRC as i didn't trust it running on the same instance23:49
daftykinsi was new to both web admin and irssi at the time23:49
maps|wrkwhat you running?23:50
daftykinspenguin42: a friend had VMs on the other, apparently they waive the fees if you want some time to transition smoothly23:50
maps|wrkapache here..i know people say nginx and lighthttpd are better pfft23:50
maps|wrkfor my site it doesnt matter 1hit/week23:50
maps|wrklol23:50
daftykinsi heard of a few big advisories to do with nginx that were quite showstoppers, so not sure there23:50
daftykinsgiven i've got so few sites on my bigv but it's showing as using 750MB still (RAM) even after tweaking instances i'd probably give lighttpd a spin23:51
maps|wrkwhat you using atm then apache?23:51
daftykinsja23:51
maps|wrksame23:51
daftykinsi think these ubuntu 10.04.4 machines have 1 yr left of support, so at some point i need to rework them on 14.04 perhaps23:51
daftykinsor maybe i'll go super masochistic and do a minimal debian of some variety23:52
penguin42daftykins: Yeh I should at some point; although I'm currently fighting bytemarks domain transfer thing (which seems entirely undocumented)23:52
daftykinsah :(23:52
