JamesTaitI don't know if it's specifically about musical instruments, or if, say, medical instruments also count.09:06

foobarryweb question. i have 2 virtualhosts on the same IP. barry:80 and bob:443 . if i type bob.domain it is defaulting to port 80 and serving barry:80 on bob:8010:10
foobarryi want bob.domain to default to bob:443, i need a rewrite rule?10:10
foobarryor redirect10:11
shauno_I think bob:80 should be serving the default content? (it's not matching a virtualhost at all)10:12
foobarryah, so i make a bob:80 virtualhost and then rewrite?10:12
shauno_I believe so, yeah10:13
foobarryNameVirtualHost *:8010:13
foobarry<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mysite.example.com DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs Redirect permanent /secure https://mysite.example.com/secure10:13

QuincyK54Anything I've forgot ? Oh GMorning Pimped DebianUsersUK  Hehe.10:36
QuincyK54I have a pvilion G6 with Win7 --.. will the 14.04 "just install" alongside, without sound or HDMI problems ? 'cos It's, not my machine.10:38
foobarryhmm. now i've got the opposite10:40
foobarrybob but no barry10:40
QuincyK54I know Dubarry , but not Bob.10:41

foobarryclick "try ubuntu"10:41
foobarrywhen booting from usb10:41
shaunoare you sure barry was actually working?  if bob:80 was serving barry's contents, barry's in the default docroot & would be served if it didn't match anything10:42
foobarrybarry was working because it redirects to localhost:456710:42
shaunoI mean, it might have been serving the right content by accident, rather than intentionally10:42

popeygot a reply from ebay vendor13:43
popey"The parcel has to be signed for. If they left it at the porch, who then signed for it! I will try to get in touch with them. They are stupid people."13:43
dwatkinsI contacted an Amazon seller because I hadn't received my phone case, it turned out they'd sent the wrong thing, and I'd assumed a friend who was staying with me had ordered it.13:45
dwatkinsThe seller was able to tell me who signed for it, though.13:45
directhexdwatkins: in the case of hermes, they dont employ any delivery people.13:47
directhexdwatkins: they pay normal people a per-parcel fee to deliver. so they ship 100 parcels to some dude's house, and he distributes them for pennies each. standards can easily slip in that setup13:48
dwatkinsdirecthex: oh my, I see13:59

diddledandwatkins: you mean you didn't ensure your SO had secure password practices ingrained?18:05
dwatkinssadly I suspect the damage is done, but perhaps there's a way we can plead with Yahoo! to give the account back to her by proving it's hers somehow18:05

dwatkinsyeah, I just logged in from home instead of via VPN18:45
diddledanlol18:45
dwatkinsthat works too, though, blame your ISP, diddledan18:45
diddledanI think it's because I have a hurricane electric ip6 tunnel18:45
dwatkinsthat might do it, yeah18:46
diddledanI can't wait until ip6 is provided by my isp18:46
diddledanbut it's sky so the chances of that are slim for the forseeable18:46
DJones4But what benefit would an ipv6 ip address give you over an ipv4? At the end of the day your home connection either way has an ip address you can connect to18:49
DJonesAs far as I know, it doesn't speed up connections18:50
diddledanIP6 is "the future"18:50
DJonesINternal devices still have ip addresses provided by the router18:50
diddledanthere is no concept of "internal" and "external" in IP618:50
diddledanall devices are routed18:50
dwatkinsare ports still blocked, though?18:51
DJonesdiddledan: But how does every device having its own ipv6 address change things, they're still connected via the same router, using the same landline18:52
diddledani.e. my fridge can be accessed directly from the internet if there's no firewall preventing it18:52
popeyhttp://hackaday.io/project/207618:52
dwatkinspopey: wasn't that a Kickstarter project?18:53
dwatkinshttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/952953995/bluetooth-zx-spectrum-recreating-the-sinclair-zx-s18:53
dwatkinsok, slightly different18:53
diddledanwith IPv4 there is no capability to route without rewriting the IP packets - with IPv6 you don't rewrite anything so it's "compatible" with protocols that don't play well with nat such as ftp18:54
DJonesdiddledan: Erm, so all it does is cut out the router, except that the fridge wouldn't have an internet connection unless it was connected to the router?18:54
dwatkinsI guess FTP can easily be updated to support IPv6 but not routing18:55
dwatkinsclients and servers18:55
diddledandwatkins: you misunderstand - ftp doesn't play well in NAT (IPv4) but ipv6 allows it to work seamlessly18:55
DJonesTo my mind, ipv6 doesn't make any difference unless every individual device has its own mobile sim18:55
dwatkinspopey: also, this... http://denki.world3.net/beebkb.html18:55
popeythat kickstarter went all downhill18:56
dwatkinsdiddledan: ah ok, not sure I understand what can or can't be changed, but ok :)18:56
dwatkinspopey: oh dear18:57
diddledandwatkins: specifically with ftp in the ip4 world both ends of the ftp connection need to be able to open a port for an inbound connection from the other side - we've previously "worked around" the problem by deep-packet inspection but that only works in unencrypted communications channels18:58
dwatkinsit's going to be a long evening... https://www.dropbox.com/s/ffnokp5vjp7zdfp/Screenshot%202014-07-31%2019.59.38.png - Windows 7 has quite a lot to do19:00
diddledanouch19:00
dwatkinsdiddledan: aha, I didn't realise taking packets apart was required, thanks19:00
DJonesdwatkins: Sounds like 24 hours of updates then :)19:00
DJonesAs in you updated yesterday and thats the last 24 hours of bug fixes19:01
dwatkinsDJones: we're on number 14 already19:01
dwatkinshaha19:01
diddledanso ipv6 allows ftp to work because there's no concept of "private" ip addresses meaning that each device has an end-to-end connection with any other device without any messing around with rewriting packets19:02
dwatkinsso NAT is a hack?19:02
diddledanbingo19:03
diddledanNAT was a short-term solution19:03
dwatkinsI guess they didn't anticipate just how many devices we'd need to put online19:03
diddledanactually it was a case that the internet took off before we were ready - vint cerf in a recent interview pointed out that ipv6 is what should have been used in the outset and ipv4 was just a proof-of-concept19:04
diddledanthe "beta" version if you will19:04
