[19:58] <littlebit> hi 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?
[20:23] <bekks> littlebit: .179 is in the range of .100-.200
[20:24] <littlebit> bekks: i know, but y not start 100?
[20:25] <bekks> littlebit: No. Why should it?
[20:25] <littlebit> bekks: out of curiosity
[20:26] <bekks> littlebit: Actually no. The according RFC do not define the order of address to be given to clients.
[20:27] <littlebit> bekks: ok, thx

[21:56] <devster31> so, 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 path
[22:10] <[Mew2]> hello
[22:10] <[Mew2]> anyone here?
[22:11] <ikonia> yes
[22:11] <ikonia> quite a lot of people
[22:11] <[Mew2]> hey
[22:11] <[Mew2]> so i am concerned
[22:12] <[Mew2]> about a server owner of a ubuntu server vps
[22:12] <[Mew2]> i hear that nothign can be done
[22:12] <[Mew2]> because the ram is exploitable?
[22:12] <ikonia> what ?
[22:12] <[Mew2]> ok let me restart
[22:12] <ikonia> what are you talking about
[22:12] <[Mew2]> say i have a ubuntu-server
[22:12] <ikonia> ok
[22:12] <ikonia> do you hava an ubuntu server ?
[22:12] <[Mew2]> and i want to be 100% secure against the person who hosts that server
[22:12] <[Mew2]> this is not possible?
[22:13] <ikonia> within reason
[22:13] <[Mew2]> like if i run a vpn thru it
[22:13] <ikonia> depends on a lot of things
[22:13] <[Mew2]> theres some important info in that traffic going
[22:13] <[Mew2]> and i dont want to be exposed to the server host
[22:13] <ikonia> it's not that simple a question
[22:13] <ikonia> but vpn traffic is encypted
[22:14] <[Mew2]> someone was telling me that the ram buffer is exploitable?
[22:14] <ikonia> and based on the fact that I see you asking in openvpn channels about this sort of thing - you know it's encrypted
[22:14] <[Mew2]> dont even know what that means tho
[22:14] <ikonia> then forget about it
[22:14] <[Mew2]> say the server admin wanted to sniff out my data
[22:14] <[Mew2]> they could do it?
[22:15] <ikonia> lets not say that
[22:15] <[Mew2]> why?
[22:15] <ikonia> as I've said 3 times it depends on quite a few things
[22:15] <ikonia> you seem to want a yes/no answer to something that is quite a complex set of options
[22:15] <[Mew2]> well ok
[22:15] <[Mew2]> lets say i start up a fresh ubuntu server and configure openvpn on it
[22:16] <[Mew2]> what can i do to protect my self from server admin
[22:16] <ikonia> as I've now said 4 times - it depends on a lot of things
[22:16] <ikonia> and vpn traffic is encypted, as you've been told at least 8 teims
[22:16] <ikonia> times
[22:16] <[Mew2]> ill gladly take ANY suggestions
[22:16] <ikonia> use the vpn and don't worry about it
[22:16] <ikonia> there is your suggestion
[22:17] <[Mew2]> i dont want to get compromised
[22:17] <ikonia> then use the vpn and don't worry about it
[22:17] <[Mew2]> how about things like encrypting the vps hard drive?
[22:17] <ikonia> what will that do ?
[22:17] <[Mew2]> i dont know, encryption must exist for a reason?
[22:17] <ikonia> I'll say again "your vpn taffic is encypted"
[22:18] <[Mew2]> from me to vpn server is encrypted, from vpn server to destination is not
[22:18] <[Mew2]> right?
[22:18] <ikonia> your vpn communication is encypted
[22:18] <ikonia> what happens after that depends on your server setup
[22:19] <[Mew2]> right so this means that the outgoign traffic is available as plain text to the server admin
[22:19] <[Mew2]> which is the reason im hee
[22:19] <ikonia> no
[22:19] <ikonia> "it will depend on your server config"
[22:19] <[Mew2]> explain please?
[22:19] <[Mew2]> i am new at this
[22:19] <ikonia> "what happens after you VPN exit point will depend on how your server is configured"
[22:20] <[Mew2]> thats a vague statement
[22:20] <[Mew2]> i didnt know that there was different configs available
[22:20] <[Mew2]> ok
[22:20] <[Mew2]> nevermind
[22:21] <[Mew2]> i dont think we are going anywhere wiht this
[22:21] <[Mew2]> lets just forget about it
[22:21] <[Mew2]> i have a more important question
[22:21] <[Mew2]> i have a current ubuntu server
[22:21] <[Mew2]> and i am going to cancel it and get a different one
[22:21] <ikonia> ok
[22:21] <[Mew2]> is there ane asy way to transfer the thing over?
[22:21] <[Mew2]> easy*
[22:21] <ikonia> "the thing" ??
[22:21] <ikonia> what is "the thing"
[22:21] <[Mew2]> the entire thing
[22:21] <[Mew2]> the ubu server
[22:22] <ikonia> no
[22:22] <[Mew2]> ?
[22:22] <ikonia> "no"
[22:22] <[Mew2]> lol
[22:22] <[Mew2]> there must be
[22:22] <[Mew2]> i have only one app running on it
[22:22] <ikonia> no there mustent
[22:22] <[Mew2]> and some crontab entries
[22:23] <ikonia> you ask a question, I tell hyou the answer you deny it
[22:23] <[Mew2]> ok so tell me
[22:23] <[Mew2]> how should i go about this
[22:23] <ikonia> if you are sure I'm wrong - do it, rather than asking if its possible
[22:23] <[Mew2]> start from scratch on the new server?
[22:23] <ikonia> why do you want to change the server ?
[22:23] <[Mew2]> better deal on new server
[22:23] <ikonia> backup the data you want, and copy it to your new host,
[22:24] <[Mew2]> can i backup everything?
[22:24] <ikonia> no
[22:24] <ikonia> as I said earlier
[22:24] <ikonia> and you ignored and asked again
[22:24] <[Mew2]> ok
[22:24] <[Mew2]> what can i backup
[22:24] <ikonia> your data
[22:24] <ikonia> and possible some configs depending on the target server
[22:24] <[Mew2]> is crontab entry count as data?
[22:25] <ikonia> you can back up a corontab
[22:25] <ikonia> but as it's just a few lines of text, why bother
[22:25] <ikonia> it's hardly a problem
[22:25] <[Mew2]> well i mean if i do this then what if some problems arise, maybe its easier to just start from scratch again
[22:25] <ikonia> do what works best for you
[22:26] <[Mew2]> i dont even know what will work best
[22:26] <[Mew2]> as i said i am veyr new to this
[22:26] <ikonia> so backup the user data you want, get a new server, and put the data back
[22:26] <[Mew2]> by doing this i dont know what things wont backup tho
[22:26] <ikonia> what does your server do ?
[22:26] <[Mew2]> it runs a bnc
[22:27] <ikonia> so you could backup the bnc config
[22:27] <ikonia> install bnc on the new server and use the old config if the version is the same
[22:27] <[Mew2]> what about the irc logs, user config, cron tab entry, maybe some other things im forgetting
[22:28] <ikonia> backup any of that you want
[22:28] <[Mew2]> i dont even know where its located
[22:28] <[Mew2]> i think i will just start over
[22:28] <[Mew2]> but like
[22:28] <[Mew2]> making an image
[22:28] <[Mew2]> ot an iso or something
[22:28] <[Mew2]> i cant do that?
[22:29] <ikonia> no
[22:29] <ikonia> for the 4th time
[22:29] <[Mew2]> hmm ok
[22:30] <[Mew2]> i guess i expected it to be easier
[22:30] <[Mew2]> now i know
[22:30] <[Mew2]> thanks ikonia
[22:30] <[Mew2]> i appriciate it
[22:30] <[Mew2]> <333
