bigcalmGood morning peeps :)09:46
JamesTaitGood morning all; happy Wednesday, and happy Stress Awareness Day! 😃10:14
zmoylan-pidammit, i had just made myself forget the stress... thanks very much... :-P10:18
davmor2JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jne9t8sHpUc I think this song covers most stressful situations nicely :)10:19
JamesTaitYou're welcome? 😝10:19
davmor2Ironically the song isn't Ironic10:20
davmor2JamesTait: Of course zmoylan-pi will now stress over the fact that he can't get it out of his head, but meh :)(10:22
zmoylan-piliterally no longer means literally...10:22
zmoylan-piand they removed the word gullible from the dictionary10:22
JamesTaitdavmor2, but as long as he's aware that he's stressed, that's good, right?10:23
davmor2JamesTait: right that's why I made him aware first10:24
davmor2zmoylan-pi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKUQFtR6sPM10:25
ali1234you mean literally literally doesn't mean literally?10:25
zmoylan-piliterally literally means figuratively too... http://www.salon.com/2013/08/22/according_to_the_dictionary_literally_now_also_means_figuratively_newscred/10:27
davmor2zmoylan-pi: it's all because people are muppets, good is meh, bad is good, literally is figurative and and wicked is awesome and awesome is meant to be terrifying so the world language is all to pot10:32
zmoylan-pitickety boo, just as long as don't go beyond the pale10:33
popeylanguage evolves, get over it :)10:43
MooDooI wish people wood talk proper like what I does.10:45

zmoylan-pibananas acquired for sandwiches for lunch...11:52
popeyooh, good idea12:00
popeyI feel a peanut butter and banana sarnie coming on12:00
* Laney wants nutella12:06
zmoylan-pior i could make crisp sandwiches... king cheese and onion crisps...12:07
* bigcalm wants a gin & tonic12:08
zmoylan-pii did see that someone is selling gin and tonic crisps...12:08
davmor2bigcalm: won't that make the bread soggy?12:09
bigcalmSod food, I want a drink12:09
zmoylan-piafter finishing a gin and tonic sandwich bigcalm won't care12:09
popeyAfter OggCamp I don't think I need any more booze for a while12:13
zmoylan-pithat's just your liver speaking...12:13
zmoylan-piand maybe your wallet...12:13
davmor2popey: you mean it might take a while for there to be too much blood in your alcohol stream again ;)12:17
bigcalmI spent an amazing amount of money on the Friday evening12:25
bigcalmGood food and expensive drinks12:26
zmoylan-piwhat you need to do is have a fake receipt made up for a tattoo parlour and put it in drunkest persons pocket... :-)12:26

diploBest way of seeing how many users are on multiple servers on a VM? python + fabric ?14:20
diddledandiplo, for a single machine the `who` command should tell you who's logged-in?14:23
bigcalmAs will `w` but with slightly different information14:24
bigcalmAnd then there is `last` to see who has recently been on14:24
diploSo basically we host a load of customers on a VM, 6-7 centos boxes, we just want to check how many users are on each box before rebooting without logging into each box14:24
diddledana vm with multiple boxes? eh?14:25
bigcalmSounds like you need a centralised remote management tool14:25
diplo:P14:33
diploYes you know what I meant14:33
diploFabric works fine, just wanted a quick and simple check14:33
diplo4 lines of code, simples14:33
Laneydamn14:34
Laneyaccidentally opened the door to someone selling14:34
diddledanoops14:34
diddledanI hate opening my door14:34
Laneywas expecting someone14:35
Laneyotherwise I would have been more cautious14:35
awilkinsIs there a way to temporarily register a hostname to a particular IP address without editing /etc/hosts ?14:37
awilkinsLike, I know ubuntu runs dnsmasq for name cacheing, is there a way to signal it to assign a name to an IP14:37
ali1234yeah, edit /etc/hosts14:48
awilkinsThat's what I did :-/14:48
awilkinsThinking on it, there are probably pretty good reasons for that14:48
ali1234you can also put config files in /etc/dnsmasq.d and then restart it14:49
ali1234but that is not very useful for hosts functionality14:49
awilkinsJust a PITA to remove it after15:03
awilkinsIt's for resolving VMs on a bridged adapter15:03
diddledanif it's a bridged adapter you might get away with using avahi or by getting your router to save dhcp hostnames into it's resolver15:07
awilkinsMy router at home takes note of their name and serves the address15:35
awilkinsI'm in a wifi lounge in Manchester though15:36
diddledanaah15:36
awilkinsWell, pshaw15:36
awilkinsIt's a minor inconvenience15:36
diddledanwhy do my windows pcs not see any samba servers and vice versa?15:37
ali1234you can set up a DNS server for a specific domain15:37
ali1234add it to dnsmasq config15:37
ali1234and then reconfigure it however you like15:37
diddledanit seems that I have some kind of split brain - half my network are able to see each other and the other half are able to see each other but it seems that neither half can see the other half15:38
diddledanyes, ping works15:38
diddledanand yes, accessing samba from a windows via ip address also works - it's just the name resolution that seems wonky15:39
diddledanok that's interesting. seems pings to the broadcast address are only getting 4 distinct replies (there should be more systems than that)15:46
awilkinsMurdoch buys National Geographic. Murdoch fires 180 award winning journalists.15:54
