| ducasse | morning! | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | hey ducasse | 06:36 |
| lotuspsychje | how are you? | 06:37 |
| ducasse | good thanks - and you? enjoying a quiet sunday morning? | 06:37 |
| lotuspsychje | yep got to work at 11 | 06:37 |
| ducasse | aha, i see. no rest for the wicked ;) | 06:38 |
| lotuspsychje | :p | 06:40 |
| lotuspsychje | upgraded to .1 | 06:41 |
| ducasse | me too, but i've still got one machine on wily. should try to fix that today... | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | cool | 06:42 |
| * daftykins carries in his cereal with his eyes still closed | 09:53 | |
| * ducasse hands daftykins a cup of espresso | 09:53 | |
| daftykins | ooh ty | 09:53 |
| ducasse | speaking of, need more tea. | 09:54 |
| daftykins | i was thinking that, need to do a milk run in a moment | 09:54 |
| ducasse | ahh, there we go :) caffeine <3 | 09:57 |
| daftykins | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh91IO9cV48 i found this neat | 10:00 |
| ducasse | interesting :) just been reading through the world's longest log dump for a guy, and suddenly he doesn't want to investigate further and logs off :-/ | 10:19 |
| daftykins | oy | 10:21 |
| ducasse | do you know much about web server daemons, by any chance? i need to set one up on my vps, just wondering which one has the best security track record... | 10:31 |
| daftykins | most of my experience has been basic setups for wordpress LAMP setups, where i stuck to apache2, i tried out nginx recently but was a bit disappointed when it didn't even have the apache tools for automating the symlinks to enable sites and modules | 10:34 |
| daftykins | hadn't tried to 'harden' nginx in any way, but i've gotten by with apache - just needs tweaking to reduce its' many worker count and default config to hide version # and so on | 10:35 |
| ducasse | i'm mostly going to serve static pages and files, to use as a sort of personal dumping ground to share files. i was thinking of lighttpd, since this vps has a limited amount of memory and such. | 10:36 |
| daftykins | ah right | 10:36 |
| daftykins | i run a little home one in 384MB RAM... LAMP with a basic wordpress + this irssi instance | 10:37 |
| ducasse | actually, the vps has 1gb of memory, but it's primarily doing other things so the web setup would still need to be very light... | 10:39 |
| daftykins | how does the mem usage sit right now? | 10:50 |
| ducasse | pretty good, a little under half available, but it was just rebooted. | 10:53 |
| daftykins | ah well, probably makes sense to avoid full blown apache - but i've not tried that one | 10:56 |
| ducasse | i wasn't really thinking that much about memory usage, more about security. in my mind, apache might have a bigger attack surface than something like lighttpd, but i could be entirely wrong. | 10:58 |
| daftykins | yeah, you don't wanna dip into swap though :D it could do, depending on default modules i suppose | 10:59 |
| ducasse | think i'll just try lighttpd first, as it should be more than adequate for my needs. i could probably whip up something that would do what i need in a few lines of python, even :) | 11:01 |
| daftykins | ^_^ | 11:03 |
| daftykins | ugh i feel like i should get a clear plastic sheet to cover my keyboard, this house seems to be a dust machine | 11:03 |
| ducasse | try one of those sealed, industrial keyboards :) | 11:04 |
| daftykins | hah | 11:05 |
| ducasse | would probably not be very comfortable to type on, though. | 11:07 |
| daftykins | have you ever seen those laser ones that cast a pattern onto the desk, then somehow it registers you touching the spots? | 11:08 |
| ducasse | yes, but i can't imagine i would like them. need the tactile feedback. looks cool, though :) | 11:09 |
| daftykins | yeah, i imagine latency too | 11:10 |
| daftykins | i got told about an industry situation where the staff kept damaging keyboards though, so they put in one of them instead | 11:10 |
| ducasse | i'm _much_ too picky about mice and keyboards. | 11:12 |
| ducasse | hard to find one i like :) | 11:12 |
| \9 | i'm sort of trying to find one that i would like | 11:13 |
| \9 | the usual keyboard layout doesn't have enough keys for my needs | 11:13 |
| \9 | the finnish keyboard layout sucks for coding so i have to xmodmap the layout a tad | 11:14 |
| \9 | i still need to use alt+gr t o get backspace | 11:14 |
| ducasse | \9: check out the ones i were talking to daftykins about yesterday - wasdkeyboards.com - they have a lot of variations. dunno about extra keys, though, i'll miss that from my current one. | 11:14 |
| daftykins | i'm fine with the default UK layout, extra keys is something i detest | 11:16 |
| \9 | i need the ä and ö keys though, it's slightly inconvenient to use the compose ke for them all the time | 11:18 |
| \9 | thanks ducasse i will check that out | 11:18 |
| ducasse | \9: they have at least 88 104 and 105-key ones, in just about any layout you want, you can choose switches and colors for caps and print etc. basically fully custom :) | 11:19 |
| \9 | so i see | 11:21 |
| \9 | hmm neat, i can edit the layout as svg | 11:26 |
| ducasse | yep, thinking of ordering one myself to replace my razer. i like my current keyboard, but a couple of the keys send several characters when pressed... | 11:27 |
| \9 | i still want my 106th key thouhg :( | 11:27 |
| \9 | though* | 11:28 |
| daftykins | seems to me like if you can't fit into the standard layouts everyone else does, something you're doing is wrong. | 11:31 |
| ducasse | i do just fine with a 105-key layout. my razer has 5 'macro keys' on the left side, i have them mapped to various things but honestly don't use them that much... | 11:34 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 14:57 |
| daftykins | \o | 14:58 |
| BluesKaj | hey daftykins | 15:02 |
| ducasse | afternoon, BluesKaj - everything well? | 15:06 |
| ducasse | daftykins: i (sort of) fixed my keyboard :) | 15:07 |
| BluesKaj | hi ducasse, yeah I'm trying setup konverstaion to connect thru a socks5 proxy server provided ny my vpn service . but the settings aren't working | 15:08 |
| daftykins | ducasse: \o/ | 15:10 |
| ducasse | BluesKaj: how/what is failing? it just won't connect? | 15:10 |
| BluesKaj | scuse my KB mistakes ...it's suddenly very dark...storms approaching | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | again | 15:11 |
| ducasse | daftykins: it's not 100%, but much better :) i'll try prying off the keycaps and go over it with pressurized air later. | 15:11 |
| daftykins | :) | 15:12 |
| daftykins | i'm still suffering with the membrane here ;_; | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | yeah the asimov, weber and kornbluth servers just fail with unknown error | 15:12 |
| ducasse | odd. freenode is sponsored by pia iirc, so they shouldn't be blocking vpn traffic either... has konversation got a network log or console? | 15:14 |
| daftykins | is that SSL connection or non? | 15:15 |
| BluesKaj | daftykins, I tried it with and without ssl sasl, different port numbers etc etc, but nothing , even the logs don't show anything | 15:19 |
| daftykins | hrmm | 15:19 |
| daftykins | well SOCKS is typically a browser thing only i thought, so i'd be more inclined to go back to making the VPN work properly | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | vpn works fine , but I prefer not to use the vpn unless needed and I'd just like to have individual apps use the proxy rather than resorting to all internet connections going thru the vpn | 15:21 |
| ducasse | you can always have the vpn tunnel open at all times and just route traffic from certain apps through it. | 15:22 |
| BluesKaj | the proxy5 setings for pia proxy server in amsterdam works fine on qbittorrent, checking with netstat -tapen shows the IPs qbittorrent is routed thru | 15:23 |
| BluesKaj | ducasse, that would be good if I knew how to set that up | 15:25 |
| ducasse | i think i have a link somewhere, do you want me to dig for it? | 15:25 |
| BluesKaj | sure | 15:26 |
| daftykins | yeah that makes sense, you don't have to have your tunnel replace the default gateway | 15:26 |
| ducasse | hang on, it's on a machine in another room. brb. | 15:26 |
| BluesKaj | right | 15:26 |
| ducasse | http://askubuntu.com/questions/37412/how-can-i-ensure-transmission-traffic-uses-a-vpn | 15:28 |
| ducasse | that's for torrent, but it demonstrates the general idea. | 15:29 |
| ducasse | you start openvpn with --noroute, so you will keep your default route. then route what you want through the tunnel interface. | 15:30 |
| ducasse | there is also a git repo with scripts for deluge: https://github.com/bendikro/deluge-vpn.git | 15:33 |
| daftykins | i imagine that for ease of use on a graphical desktop you'd make a bunch of scripts to run perhaps | 15:33 |
| ducasse | yes, the github link would be a starting point there. | 15:34 |
| BluesKaj | think it would be simpler to just configure konversation, since does offer the socks5 option | 15:36 |
| === phunyguy is now known as not_phunyguy | ||
| ducasse | well, if that's the only program you want it for that is possibly true :) | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | qbittorrent is already configured and working | 15:39 |
| === not_phunyguy is now known as phunyguy | ||
| ducasse | right. is there a verbose logging option? | 15:40 |
| daftykins | tail /var/log/$topic_above.log : | 15:46 |
| daftykins | "it dun work" | 15:46 |
| daftykins | "it dun work" | 15:46 |
| ducasse | :) | 15:52 |
| ducasse | something wrong here too, my laptop is 2.6gb into swap with over a gig of memory free... | 15:54 |
| daftykins | D: | 15:58 |
| daftykins | some kinda task that deems itself backgrounded, so swapped out? o0 | 15:58 |
| ducasse | maybe, but i don't know _what_ - not that much running, it only has 4gb. bah, need to reboot anyway, kernel update. | 16:02 |
