X-Com is activated to save mankind. 3. The Union Aerospace Corporation is founded, leading to the tragic events that lead to opening a teleport to Hell. 4.

[10:46] \o [10:48] morning MartijnVdS [11:17] g'day === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [13:53] hey everyone ! :) [13:54] hey [13:55] hey penguin42 how are you dude [13:55] good good, HNY [13:56] hi knightwise [13:56] Same to you dude :) [13:56] hey brobostigon ! hny [13:59] hmmm... trying to get pimusicbox to work [14:00] Cant find the .img file on the site of the developer so i'm going over to the github site. [14:00] but I have no idea where to get the .img file [14:01] ah .. wait. I think i found it. [14:01] there is a "make image script" [14:03] cle [14:03] sorry , wrong window [14:06] :) [14:10] * penguin42 wonders what the electricity usage of appliances is between cold and warm weather [14:10] penguin42: higher i presume [14:12] knightwise: Yes, I'm just looking at the graphs on my electricity suppliers site; they say I'm using about another 10kWh/day in December compared with July and it's not obvious where from since I use gas for heating; I don't think the lighting adds upto more than a kW/h or 2 [14:14] unlikely ... but heating and light consumption does go up in the winter [14:14] also , people spend more time indoors , thus activate more appliances [14:14] right, but my heating won't make much of a change to my electricity bill [14:14] depends what kind of heating you have ? Gas ? Petrol ? Electric ? [14:15] gas [14:17] should not make a big difference then [14:17] other appliances use the same ammount of power no matter the outside temperature (i presume) [14:19] well, I was wondering about things like washing machines and dishwashers; they may need more power if the input water is colder and if the room is a bit colder [14:21] it might also be that we tend to have more hot meals in the winter and hence the electric oven is on more, but it seems hmm [14:22] yeah , but its not THAT big of a difference , its not like your machine is in the garden ? [14:26] THere , just ordered a usb gamecontroller for my raspberry pi [14:26] right, although the water input temperature maybe from the mains [14:27] that is true , so that temp might be a bit lower indeed [15:31] surrey version of the run, hide, tell poster http://i.imgur.com/DS0fnJz.jpg [15:33] i think putting up poster to tell people what to do in those situations is allowing the shallow end of gene pool to hang around [20:04] yay [20:04] spurs5-3 [20:05] :) [20:20] did anyone find a solution as to what's up with get_iplayer at the moment? [20:36] I am a tad baffled. clean install. installed flash from adobe site and done updates but yet on some sites it keeps saying I need to install flash, not sure if it's lack of flash or chromium being a pain [20:37] i've been getting that a few times in last 2 weeks or so [20:38] also on some drop down boxes on chromium they are not visable, no issues on FF #I just don't like FF as my main browser [20:38] i use qupzilla, midori as browsers [21:03] yo [21:08] Happy New year popey and #ubuntu-uk! [21:09] I have a question about the English language, I seem unable to master it. ¨Happy New Year!! My new year's resolution is adding some more certifications after RHCE. What is a more important certification for a DevOps Engineer? Puppet Professional or MySQL Database Administrator?¨ does this obviously show that I am not a native Englander? [21:09] u wot m8? [21:11] Does my English in that phrase betray my English often doesn´t sound very natural? [21:12] looks fine [21:13] i would probably write [21:13] I would have abbreviated "What is a more" to "What's a more" but that's all. [21:13] I think Google translate is better than me at sounding natural. [21:13] Happy New Year. My New Year's resolution is to achieve some additional certifications after passing RHCE. What is a more important certification for a DevOps Engineer? Puppet Professional or MySQL Database Administrator? [21:13] that sounds pretty good translated from Dutch compared to mine. [21:13] What´s < right. [21:14] My new year's resolution is to get some more certs in addition to the RHCE. What would be a more important cert for a devops engineer to get? Puppet Pro or Mysql DB Admin? [21:14] sounds very formal, unless you want to be formal [21:15] sorry, quite formal, not very format [21:15] it would depend if it were in written communication or verbal communication a fair bit [21:16] does anyone have a leapfrog reader for their kids? [21:17] opinions? [21:20] nope [21:21] never heard of them [21:21] why is my fail2ban failing2ban attackers? [21:22] 2014-12-28 06:25:04,457 fail2ban.server : INFO Changed logging target to /var/log/fail2ban.log for Fail2ban v0.8.11 [21:22] is my entire fail2ban.log [21:23] isn't the problem with fail2ban if the attacker uses multiple ip addresses? [21:23] the attackers aren't using multiple IPs [21:23] ali1234: It works by parsing various log files doesn't it - is it parsing the right ones? [21:23] one IP tried to brute force ssh root password for three days [21:23] yes it is parsing auth.log [21:24] mismatch in format? [21:24] Dec 28 07:25:38 headfuzz sshd[12626]: Failed password for root from 60.173.12.98 port 22759 ssh2 [21:24] an example failed login, there's like 300000000000 of them [21:25] 844 to be specific [21:25] 8 per minute [21:26] i am using the filters that come with the ubuntu package [21:27] ah there's a tool to check [21:31] according to fail2ban-regex there's 282000 matching lines in auth.log however nobody ever got banned [21:33] some type of timeout thing; because those are old? [21:33] every time an IP is banned it should show up in the log [21:34] three retries in 10 minutes should ban by default [21:34] because that machine has been owned already and it's disabled somehow? [21:37] seems unlikely, why would you turn it off after you have control? [21:37] its not checking the right log? [21:37] or its using iptables instead of ufw or firewalld? [21:37] fail2ban notifies if its baned someone though i seem to remember [21:38] read the scrollback :) [21:40] admittedly i use it on centos and wroks all the time [21:45] i see others reporting the same thing [21:46] i'm going to bug report this [21:52] that's a pretty nasty bug - can you tell us the bug number when you do [21:52] thanks foobarry, that helped a lot. I hope some day to speak English like the British. Although most of my friends in London are foreigners too. [21:54] so you want to have the accent of the villan in a hollywood movie... :-) [21:56] someone want to try attacking my server to see if it bans you? [21:57] * zmoylan-pi puts down the axe... [21:57] haha zmoylan-pi, if he´s british yes. [21:59] penguin42: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fail2ban/+bug/1406996 [21:59] Launchpad bug 1406996 in fail2ban (Ubuntu) "fail2ban fails to ban" [Undecided,New] [22:02] ali1234: Did you see the thing about polling versus other settings? [22:03] yes, that's one of the other reports i linked [22:03] ali1234: Yeh, did their fix work for you? Also the action setting? [22:03] i didn't see anything about an action setting [22:04] i didn't try anything to fix it yet [22:04] ali1234: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20720129/fail2ban-not-banning-ssh-bruteforce-but-regex-works/20871940#20871940 [22:04] i can't test anyway since i am not currently being attacked and i don't particularly want to ban myself [22:04] ali1234: Oh I can help you later if you want, about to have a shower though [22:05] some great android apps for free on amazon right now [22:05] just collected about 10 [22:05] including monopoly [22:07] the backend polling thing sounds like exceeding inotify watches [22:08] https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/44 or perhaps as indicated here the watch stops when the log gets rotated [22:29] confirmed that's the bug ^ [22:44] foobarry: didn't you mention getting get-iplayer to work again the other day? it seems to fail to update for me, says there's 0 or 1 program [22:50] ali1234: Ah well yeh, inotify on a different file to the one the changes are going on in won't work [22:50] it's actually not logrotate at all [22:50] it's not? [22:50] no [22:51] i don't know what the problem. since i've now restarted the server it is getting the events again === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [23:01] ali1234: That would be consistent with something like a logrotate/inotify problem if it was looking at the old file [23:02] yes it would, but after more testing the repro steps i posted do not work, so it's more complex than just logrotate [23:02] perhaps after many logrotates it runs out of inotify handles or something [23:04] ali1234: It shouldn't be a running-out-of-handles type thing since it should only ever be looking at the latest version of any log, so the number of logs it watches shouldn't go up [23:04] could be a leak though [23:04] if it doesn't close the old ones [23:07] yeh, it seems unlikely to die that easily though
