littlebithi poeple, i have setup and configured dnsmasq successfully with a range of x.x.x.100 - x.x.x.200 . usually when someone requests for an ip address it should be x.x.x.100 and so on, in my case I got x.x.x.179 how come?19:58
bekkslittlebit: .179 is in the range of .100-.20020:23
littlebitbekks: i know, but y not start 100?20:24
bekkslittlebit: No. Why should it?20:25
littlebitbekks: out of curiosity20:25
bekkslittlebit: Actually no. The according RFC do not define the order of address to be given to clients.20:26
littlebitbekks: ok, thx20:27

devster31so, I know sudo replaces path usually, but this puzzles me, I have the same output of echo $PATH and sudo -u git echo $PATH, and I even tried with  -E flag, that should preserve environment, and it still can't find an executable that clearly is in the path21:56
[Mew2]hello22:10
[Mew2]anyone here?22:10
ikoniayes22:11
ikoniaquite a lot of people22:11
[Mew2]hey22:11
[Mew2]so i am concerned22:11
[Mew2]about a server owner of a ubuntu server vps22:12
[Mew2]i hear that nothign can be done22:12
[Mew2]because the ram is exploitable?22:12
ikoniawhat ?22:12
[Mew2]ok let me restart22:12
ikoniawhat are you talking about22:12
[Mew2]say i have a ubuntu-server22:12
ikoniaok22:12
ikoniado you hava an ubuntu server ?22:12
[Mew2]and i want to be 100% secure against the person who hosts that server22:12
[Mew2]this is not possible?22:12
ikoniawithin reason22:13
[Mew2]like if i run a vpn thru it22:13
ikoniadepends on a lot of things22:13
[Mew2]theres some important info in that traffic going22:13
[Mew2]and i dont want to be exposed to the server host22:13
ikoniait's not that simple a question22:13
ikoniabut vpn traffic is encypted22:13
[Mew2]someone was telling me that the ram buffer is exploitable?22:14
ikoniaand based on the fact that I see you asking in openvpn channels about this sort of thing - you know it's encrypted22:14
[Mew2]dont even know what that means tho22:14
ikoniathen forget about it22:14
[Mew2]say the server admin wanted to sniff out my data22:14
[Mew2]they could do it?22:14
ikonialets not say that22:15
[Mew2]why?22:15
ikoniaas I've said 3 times it depends on quite a few things22:15
ikoniayou seem to want a yes/no answer to something that is quite a complex set of options22:15
[Mew2]well ok22:15
[Mew2]lets say i start up a fresh ubuntu server and configure openvpn on it22:15
[Mew2]what can i do to protect my self from server admin22:16
ikoniaas I've now said 4 times - it depends on a lot of things22:16
ikoniaand vpn traffic is encypted, as you've been told at least 8 teims22:16
ikoniatimes22:16
[Mew2]ill gladly take ANY suggestions22:16
ikoniause the vpn and don't worry about it22:16
ikoniathere is your suggestion22:16
[Mew2]i dont want to get compromised22:17
ikoniathen use the vpn and don't worry about it22:17
[Mew2]how about things like encrypting the vps hard drive?22:17
ikoniawhat will that do ?22:17
[Mew2]i dont know, encryption must exist for a reason?22:17
ikoniaI'll say again "your vpn taffic is encypted"22:17
[Mew2]from me to vpn server is encrypted, from vpn server to destination is not22:18
[Mew2]right?22:18
ikoniayour vpn communication is encypted22:18
ikoniawhat happens after that depends on your server setup22:18
[Mew2]right so this means that the outgoign traffic is available as plain text to the server admin22:19
[Mew2]which is the reason im hee22:19
ikoniano22:19
ikonia"it will depend on your server config"22:19
[Mew2]explain please?22:19
[Mew2]i am new at this22:19
ikonia"what happens after you VPN exit point will depend on how your server is configured"22:19
[Mew2]thats a vague statement22:20
[Mew2]i didnt know that there was different configs available22:20
[Mew2]ok22:20
[Mew2]nevermind22:20
[Mew2]i dont think we are going anywhere wiht this22:21
[Mew2]lets just forget about it22:21
[Mew2]i have a more important question22:21
[Mew2]i have a current ubuntu server22:21
[Mew2]and i am going to cancel it and get a different one22:21
ikoniaok22:21
[Mew2]is there ane asy way to transfer the thing over?22:21
[Mew2]easy*22:21
ikonia"the thing" ??22:21
ikoniawhat is "the thing"22:21
[Mew2]the entire thing22:21
[Mew2]the ubu server22:21
ikoniano22:22
[Mew2]?22:22
ikonia"no"22:22
[Mew2]lol22:22
[Mew2]there must be22:22
[Mew2]i have only one app running on it22:22
ikoniano there mustent22:22
[Mew2]and some crontab entries22:22
ikoniayou ask a question, I tell hyou the answer you deny it22:23
[Mew2]ok so tell me22:23
[Mew2]how should i go about this22:23
ikoniaif you are sure I'm wrong - do it, rather than asking if its possible22:23
[Mew2]start from scratch on the new server?22:23
ikoniawhy do you want to change the server ?22:23
[Mew2]better deal on new server22:23
ikoniabackup the data you want, and copy it to your new host,22:23
[Mew2]can i backup everything?22:24
ikoniano22:24
ikoniaas I said earlier22:24
ikoniaand you ignored and asked again22:24
[Mew2]ok22:24
[Mew2]what can i backup22:24
ikoniayour data22:24
ikoniaand possible some configs depending on the target server22:24
[Mew2]is crontab entry count as data?22:24
ikoniayou can back up a corontab22:25
ikoniabut as it's just a few lines of text, why bother22:25
ikoniait's hardly a problem22:25
[Mew2]well i mean if i do this then what if some problems arise, maybe its easier to just start from scratch again22:25
ikoniado what works best for you22:25
[Mew2]i dont even know what will work best22:26
[Mew2]as i said i am veyr new to this22:26
ikoniaso backup the user data you want, get a new server, and put the data back22:26
[Mew2]by doing this i dont know what things wont backup tho22:26
ikoniawhat does your server do ?22:26
[Mew2]it runs a bnc22:26
ikoniaso you could backup the bnc config22:27
ikoniainstall bnc on the new server and use the old config if the version is the same22:27
[Mew2]what about the irc logs, user config, cron tab entry, maybe some other things im forgetting22:27
ikoniabackup any of that you want22:28
[Mew2]i dont even know where its located22:28
[Mew2]i think i will just start over22:28
[Mew2]but like22:28
[Mew2]making an image22:28
[Mew2]ot an iso or something22:28
[Mew2]i cant do that?22:28
ikoniano22:29
ikoniafor the 4th time22:29
[Mew2]hmm ok22:29
[Mew2]i guess i expected it to be easier22:30
[Mew2]now i know22:30
[Mew2]thanks ikonia22:30
[Mew2]i appriciate it22:30
