| davmor2 | Morning all | 09:06 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | davmor2, morning | 09:07 |
| SuperMatt | good morning | 09:09 |
| SuperMatt | WFH day today :D | 09:09 |
| davmor2 | SuperMatt: I almost always do :) I sometimes work from the caravan too :) | 09:10 |
| davmor2 | SuperMatt: the commute is aweful right | 09:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | heard of someone who worked during their commute and that time was taken into consideration so an hour each way commute meant only 6 hours in the office per day... | 09:16 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all! Happy Wednesday, and happy A Room Of One’s Own Day! 😃 | 09:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | i'd cheer but i'd wake up a bunch of people... :-P | 09:54 |

| SuperMatt | oooh, I'd love a room of my own, but the cat and wife have differenr ideas | 10:33 |
| zmoylan-pi | you just need to set the cat against the wife and while they're fighting go off and find a quiet corner... :-P | 10:34 |
| SuperMatt | They love each other too much | 10:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | never said it would be easy... | 10:35 |
| SuperMatt | It couldn't happen, I'ms sure of it | 10:36 |
| foobarry | can anyone see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1180652 please? | 10:37 |
| lubotu3 | Error: Error getting bugzilla.redhat.com bug #1180652: NotPermitted | 10:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | what i'm hearing is that they're so tight that they must be plotting against you... :-P | 10:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | 'you are not authorised to access bug #'... | 10:38 |
| foobarry | my login doesn't seem to work with the bugzilla | 10:39 |
| awilkins | Is there an Ubuntu / Canonical team that has overall responsibility for VPN? | 10:43 |
| SuperMatt | I'm sure they just pull from upstream projects | 11:13 |
| diplo | Hey guys, if you were to change /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max | 11:41 |
| diplo | would you use sysctl or echo value > /proc/sys.... | 11:41 |
| diplo | ? | 11:41 |
| diplo | Just a temp test | 11:41 |
| SuperMatt | I think both would work | 11:42 |
| SuperMatt | I would do sysctl myself, because chances are I want it to persist | 11:43 |
| SuperMatt | and I'd write it to /ect/sysctl.conf (or whatever) | 11:43 |
| diplo | yeah it's a issue with our software so it's a quick test on a customer site | 11:43 |
| diplo | Doesn't happen on any other site | 11:43 |
| diplo | Will try sysctl :) thanks | 11:43 |
| foobarry | need a new dishwasher, any recs? needs to be slim | 11:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | ...and run linux? :-P | 11:49 |
| diplo | OK to add to the question above, pid_max - anyone know how the max is calculated? I've got different values on different systems | 11:50 |
| diplo | Combination of proc / memory ? | 11:50 |
| zmoylan-pi | if i was going for an appliance like a dishwasher i'd be looking at which magazine survey ratings instead of single ancedotes. just my 2c | 11:55 |
| diplo | +1 - I sold my dishwasher, prefer handwashing | 11:56 |
| diplo | Apart from dinner parties :P | 11:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | that's when you serve fish and let the cat lick everything clean before boiling it all... :-P | 11:57 |
| foobarry | weirdo | 12:01 |
| diplo | hah, my wife always asked why I hand washed, I think our dishwasher was rubbish tbh, but it got me away from her as well :) | 12:02 |
| foobarry | i do think dishwashing is a sign of a marriage under strain | 12:03 |
| diplo | Well we are divorced :P | 12:03 |
| foobarry | QED | 12:03 |
| diplo | But I actually don't mind doing it, my girlfriend uses a dishwasher and her plates / glasses never seem as clean as if you hand wash them | 12:03 |
| SuperMatt | If they aren't coming out as clean in the dishwasher, then you're over loading it, or not topping up the salt | 12:30 |
| diplo | I did suggest that to her :) but I decided not to pursue it | 12:31 |
| zmoylan-pi | then the dishwasher should be able to point that out | 12:31 |
| diplo | Much preffered solution zmoylan-pi | 12:31 |
| diplo | :P | 12:31 |
| diplo | Anyone got a redhat access portal login ? | 12:32 |
| diplo | https://access.redhat.com/solutions/874023 | 12:32 |
| SuperMatt | The wife and I live alone, but we have made sure we have enough plates, etc, to last us a few days until the dish washer is full, and then we put it on | 12:32 |
| SuperMatt | The mother in law does about 3 loads a day. Don't know how | 12:32 |
| diplo | Oh my! I couldn't wait that long | 12:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | solution: paper plates :-) | 12:32 |
| diplo | I wash as I cook/complete then wash up as the kids finish | 12:33 |
| SuperMatt | I will rinse as I go along, and put things in to the dishwasher then | 12:33 |
| SuperMatt | but my wife is a "soaker" | 12:34 |
| SuperMatt | it always makes me shudder | 12:34 |
| SuperMatt | I don't mind something being left to soak, but if it has been left for more than half an hour, it's not going to make any more difference | 12:34 |
| diplo | I'm a soaker for 5 mins whilst I do something else, like my water red hot | 12:35 |
| diplo | God are we getting old!!!! :( | 12:35 |
| SuperMatt | I know, I have a wife and a mortage, both things I didn't have 2 years ago when I left my twenties behind | 12:36 |
| diplo | Well I am old then if you're in your twenties ( obviously not as old as popey though! ) | 12:37 |
| diplo | :P | 12:37 |
| foobarry | SuperMatt: do rackspace offer managed windows servers? | 12:37 |
| foobarry | where they patch and look after SQL server dbs etc? | 12:37 |
| SuperMatt | I don't work for RS any more, but yes, they do | 12:40 |
| foobarry | i know :P | 12:40 |
| foobarry | any idea on pricing, or wasn't your area... | 12:40 |
| SuperMatt | wasn't my area at all | 12:40 |
| SuperMatt | but more expensive than linux | 12:40 |
| foobarry | sure | 12:40 |
| SuperMatt | I think you can get managed DBs from Rackspace too | 12:41 |
| foobarry | thanks | 12:41 |
| foobarry | that'll do | 12:41 |
| SuperMatt | and some may say that's preferable | 12:41 |
| diplo | Who do you guys use for dynamic dns ? | 12:51 |
| daftykins | no-ip here | 13:09 |
| daftykins | diplo: although the last domain i bought from namecheap.com allows dynamic update from a client utility, so that could work too | 13:10 |
| diplo | I've been thinking buying a domain specifically for it yeah, I guess if I can get dhclient to work with it that would do | 13:16 |
| diplo | Wonder if any of the other registrars allow that | 13:17 |
| diplo | no-ip wants you to renew monthly doesn't it.. I think that's who I am with now, keep forgetting to do it, quite happy to pay a small sum or may just script something myself | 13:17 |
| foobarry | dyndns is $40 pa | 13:19 |
| foobarry | sounds a lot | 13:19 |
| daftykins | they don't do a free account anymore, but no-ip do. | 13:20 |
| daftykins | diplo: just pay no-ip the $25 USD for a year then :> | 13:20 |
| diplo | Yeah, thought about it.. but for what I get/want I was thinking more like a tenner :D - Just reading up whether I can update 123-reg or gandi with an api :P | 13:22 |
| diplo | Oooh I can with digital ocean I think! ooh! | 13:22 |
| popey | diplo: THANKS! :D | 13:22 |
| daftykins | o0 | 13:23 |
| diplo | heheh | 13:23 |
| diplo | Someone has beaten me to it daftykins - Shell script ahoy | 13:23 |
| daftykins | every time i've tried to use a dynamic DNS updater on an ubuntu server with repo packages, they've all been utterly useless | 13:23 |
| diplo | yes, which is why I wanted something else daftykins | 13:24 |
| diplo | I had an issue with afraid.org because of dhclient on the version of ubuntu I was on and my router didn't support it | 13:25 |
| daftykins | yeah i just wanted to share just how rubbish they are and see whether anyone else had encountered the same | 13:25 |
| daftykins | seems to be my experience of universe packages :P | 13:30 |
| daftykins | "oh neat i found an appropriate program... oh it doesn't work" | 13:30 |
| SuperMatt | I've just moved my DNS to digital ocean. I needed 20 zones, but they limit you to 10. Despite being a saturday morning, I sitll got an upgrade | 13:33 |
| SuperMatt | digital ocean have their heads screwed on | 13:33 |
| SuperMatt | The limit is only so they don't get people creating accounts and registering a million spammy domains | 13:34 |
| diplo | Ah right I see, I may move all my stuff over to, see how Iget on with this dns :P | 13:39 |
| diplo | And success! The one I found was old api but fix0red it now \o/ | 14:09 |
| diddledan | Bryan Lunduke "The Lunduke Hour: You put Linux on THAT?!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlBS66kd3JE (some swearing) | 14:13 |
| SuperMatt | that reminds me, is it the time of year for Lunduke's Why Linux Sucks talk? | 14:16 |
| daftykins | diddledan: i am confused, this hour seems to be 30 mins long | 14:16 |
| diddledan | yeah I spotted that, too | 14:16 |

| diddledan | I still haven't learnt SSL - it's all binary gibberish that I can't decipher | 15:47 |
| m0nkey_ | diddledan, that's because you don't have the key | 15:47 |
| diddledan | it's almost like they're talking in code | 15:47 |
