daftykinsah yes, reading news online from my phone... linked youtube video, send to Kodi -> up it comes on the TV :>10:05
diddledananyone tried either kdeconnect or nuntius on a stock ubuntu? (using unity-wm)10:11
diddledannuntius is at https://github.com/holylobster/nuntius-linux10:11
diddledanand kdeconnect at https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect10:12
diddledanthe text at the top of the kdeconnect page is a bit weird: This is the comunity page for KDE Connect. It should contain useful and up to date resources for both users and developers.10:13
diddledanso it "should" contain, but it doesnt?10:13
diddledanshould = will?10:13

daftykinshehe, i've got to ride my high end bike to the shop to get some brake pads, new seat post and maybe get a brake bled (hydraulic)10:24
daftykinsit's gonna be such a ridiculous slog even along the flat from home here, since i've got my downhill tires on already10:24
ujjainAnybody here knows networking?10:38
ujjainMy team of Developers moved to a different building. AWS was 10.x.x.x and their PC's also 10.x.x.x. Now their PC's have 172.18.x.x as IP range and they cannot access the AWS environment. What now? Networking suggests a firewall change has to be done.10:38
diddledanif you have a "networking" who are suggesting a fix then surely by their name being "networking" it's their remit to fix it themselves10:39
daftykins:D10:40
daftykinssurely if it's AWS it's online?10:40
ujjainfair point10:40
ujjainuh, it's only using internal IP ranges AWS10:41
daftykinsso you VPN to one then it lets you hit all the test VMs on there? o010:41
ujjainuh, yeah, if you can access the management net10:42
ujjainyou can access SSH network-wise on all servers10:42
daftykinsi have zero experience with AWS to get how you connect to it initially :)10:43
diddledanAWS has a VPN endpoint you can pay for10:44
daftykinso rly10:44
diddledanit's part of their VPC offering10:44
daftykinsujjain: is that how it is?10:44
ujjainright, VPC internal IP's yeah10:45
ujjainyou have to manually give it an external IP, not by default10:45
ujjainoften you use load balancers with external IP's, servers almost never get an external IP10:45
jpdsujjain: You have a site-to-site VPN going?10:45
ujjainI don't know much about networking, that's why I asked a question. But we are in the same 10.x.x.x-range yes, servers and office network.10:45
daftykinsujjain: i suspect you now have a new gateway IP and none of them have the right route out then perhaps10:46
foobarrytalk to networks10:46
jpdsujjain: I would talk to the network guy in charge instead10:46
daftykinscan't say much more without knowing your setup - but as these guys say, surely you have the staff :>10:46
ujjainah ok, yeah, I'll give them some more information, that we are now in 172.x,10:46
diddledanyou really should NOT use the same IP range on your corporate network that you're using on the AWS VPC anyway10:46
jpdsWhatever's going on, it sounds _broken_10:47
foobarrythe problem tends to occur because people often use the whole 10.x with a 255.0.0.0 netmask10:47
daftykinsyep subnets should always be different10:48
diddledanfoobarry, part of the reason for that is certifications still teach "Class C" etc10:49
ali1234does anyone remember that bug where anything you type into firefox goes into the wrong window?10:49
diddledanCIDR did away with the "Class A", "Class B" and C10:49

foobarrysister had her facebook password hacked, wasl well over 10 characters12:04
jpdsfoobarry: What, no 2fa?12:07
foobarrynot exactly dictionary words either12:08
foobarryhow does the 2fa work? remembers the devices?12:08
zmoylan-piall it takes is logging in from one infected computer12:08
jpdsfoobarry: Generates a code on your mobile that you enter after the password12:08
foobarryand then remembers the device?12:08

diddledanindeed, owncloud is a mess19:50
diddledancamlistore looks pretty funky19:54
diddledanand I'm only half way through their demo19:55
diddledanthey've got a "proper" fuse filesystem that doesn't just use rsync in the background19:55
diddledanso you can actually have a 1PB file on a laptop with only 64GB of HDD19:56
diddledanthe google drive (e.g.) equivalent doesn't do that! :-p19:56
penguin42do you understand much about object filesystem stuff - I'm gently trying to understand if you can build queues on them20:00
* penguin42 has a general evil plan of building a smtp-imap-gmail-like mail system on generic object storage20:01
penguin42but it's only at the evil plan level20:01
shaunodon't do it man :(20:02
penguin42you mean for my sanity?20:04
shaunolife's too short to try to implement smtp20:05
penguin42well, I was thinking of gluing it at the back of an existing mta20:06
penguin42apparently there's a closed source addition to dovecot to do this20:06
diddledanpostfix can probably be configured to store in random places via a local delivery agent20:08
penguin42yeh I think that's how they set it up20:08
diddledane.g. instead of storing into a maildir/ you tell it to use `script`20:08
penguin42yeh20:09
penguin42diddledan: but does the incoming queue still live on the local disk?20:09
diddledanI believe it just dumps the content of the email into a configured LDA like that via STDIN20:10
diddledanyeah the postfix queue is unchanged in that instance20:10
diddledanit's only the storage that changes20:10
diddledani.e. the final recipient's mailbox20:10
penguin42so that's not bad, it would certainly avoid the reimplementing SMTP20:11
penguin42but it does mean that 1) If you lose one of the front end hosts you lose the queue  2) You don't get the chance to do fun sharing of the mail contents/attachments if they're sent to a lot of people (or a list? does it expand the lists first?)20:11
shaunothat's how my mail's delivered20:21
shaunoit's piped into procmail20:21
shauno(you can probably have some fun with milters in postfix too)20:28

shaunoyeah.  I have the dedicated server (lds) installed and it's going nuts23:34
diddledanoops23:34
shaunoa choice selection of cron jobs never end, so it slowly but surely fills the box23:34
shaunoI think at the very least, it shouldn't launch a new copy of a job if the prior copy is still running23:37
shaunoit wouldn't solve the fact that it claims scripts have a 10-minute timeout, and my oldest has been running since the machine booted.  but it'd at least stop it eating all available ram23:37
shaunothis is quite funny though;  http://i.imgur.com/x4ZJrW4.png23:40
shaunoyou can actually see how many copies (currently 8) didn't die from the steps in the ram23:40
ali1234this is why cron sucks and systemd is great :)23:54
