[09:15] <lordievader> Good morning.
[10:37] <jptned> Hello guys,  I'm getting kind of DDOS'ed / Brute forced. My server has no problem with it, but it seems like my router can't handle it.
[10:39] <jptned> The attacks come in on ports, 25, 80, 110 and 443. Exim logs of a few days ago show numerous login attemps. I've got fail2ban installed, but it doesn't block these IP's. Blocking them manualy doesn't work either, because the IP's change constantly.
[13:09] <siebjee> is anyone here able to help me with xl2tp and performance improvements ? Not able to get over the ~30 Mbps :( (10gbit line)
[15:20] <Walex> siebjee: 'top'
[17:45] <dbm> Greetings, anyone know how to allocate free space to existing hard drive without lossing any data on it? (I'm using VPS Ubuntu server) :)
[17:51] <sarnold> dbm: the usual approach is to use a volume manager like LVM or zfs
[17:52] <sarnold> dbm: if the thing already exists it might be a bit harder, but you can resize ext* filesystems with resize2fs
[17:53] <dbm> sarnold: alright, well the thing is im using VPS @ OVH and cloud 1 package is 25gb so i recently buyed cloud 2 and they just assigned 25gb to me. So now i have 25gb of free space and nothing to do with it. Unless i can somehow to allocate it, they gave me some tutorials but they literally telling me to recreate my partitions not to allocate it
[17:53] <sarnold> dbm: that may be the easiest solution
[17:54] <sarnold> dbm: did they grow an existing block device by another 25 gigs? or did they give you a second block device to work with?
[17:54] <dbm> sarnold: yeah, but then im lossing data :)
[17:54] <dbm> sarnold: they gave me second block
[17:54] <sarnold> dbm: spin up an AWS or DO or similar instance for two hours to temporarily hold your data?
[17:55] <dbm> I might do 1 thing thou.. buy for 5e "Backup" so they back up everything on thier other system. And literally recreate (reformat) all harddrive and thats it?
[17:55] <dbm> Probably the simpliest way of doing it, without any harm
[17:56] <sarnold> and good opportunity to test backups/restores :)
[18:47] <_1_Himanshu3> hey
[22:06] <wxl> hey folks. what's the plan to migrate precise to php 5.4 now that security updates have stopped happening upstream on 5.3?
[22:11] <sarnold> wxl: there are no plans to change major versions of php in released products; we'll continue backporting patches as needed
[22:11] <sarnold> wxl: see also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#Versions and https://www.debian.org/security/faq#version
[22:12] <wxl> heh i just found that sarnold :) thanks!
[22:12] <sarnold> (the latter is from debian, but holds true for us too :)
[22:13] <sarnold> firefox and chomium-browser are the two biggest counterexamples I can think of; both of those are far too much for us to backport individual security fixes for them, though.. supporting them on older releases is also not easy, it is popular with users :)
[22:14] <wxl> frankly i'm surprised that's possible with php in this case since i know 5.4 is a fairly large deviation from 5.3
[22:14] <wxl> so you must have to cherry pick as well as re-develop things!
[22:16] <sarnold> depending upon the issue it can be more or less engineering work; some are simple patch refreshes, others are fairly large reworkings.
[22:16] <wxl> yeah wow that's pretty amazing
[22:16] <wxl> now i'm even more impressed :)
[22:16] <sarnold> we've built fairly extensive test suites over the years to help catch regressions; it's amazing what they pick up that upstreams often don't... :)
[22:17] <wxl> nice
