geigerCountersarnold: Tactical retreat for sanity's sake. Never got anybody to try connecting to my server to see, but a port tester was able to connect fine. So I think it is the ISP of my current location blocking the connection. :/01:59
sarnoldgeigerCounter: aha. do you still need testing?01:59
geigerCounterThis is rather obnoxious, of course, because I can't try testing with a mail client.01:59
geigerCountersarnold: Yep.01:59
sarnoldgeigerCounter: what address?01:59
geigerCountersarnold: somethinghub.com02:00
sarnoldgeigerCounter: it sure feels like a firewall set to DROP rather than REJECT02:01
geigerCountersarnold: Yes, yes it does. But I'm also having trouble with authenticating locally over s_client, so I've got two issues for the price of one.02:02
sarnoldwhat a deal!02:02
* geigerCounter laughs02:03
geigerCounterFortunately I have something to stave away the frustration.02:03
geigerCountersarnold: http://youtu.be/T-hZhr2k2hk02:04
sarnoldgeigerCounter: nice :)02:08
sarnoldI've got ghostbusters 2 going at the moment02:09
geigerCountersarnold: Did the test succeed?02:45
sarnoldgeigerCounter: no, I never got any response to the HELO command, it just hung like a firewall was dropping packets02:46
geigerCounter:/02:46
geigerCounterTry EHLO ?02:46
* sarnold facepalm.gif02:47
sarnoldgeigerCounter: sigh. _my_ ISP blocks outgoing port 25.02:48
sarnoldgeigerCounter: testing from another machine shows your machine works just fine.02:48

geigerCountersarnold: Awesome03:01
geigerCounterWhy do so many ISPs block it, I wonder?03:02
sarnoldthey're trying to cut down spam from their users when they get compromised03:05
sarnoldand they do, users install the stupidest things in their browsers, or click on the stupidest things in their email..03:06
patdk-lapthere is NO ligit usecase for users to send email using port 2503:09
patdk-lapexpecially this day in age when your email has reputation, dkim, and spf rules it MUST pass03:10
patdk-lapalso, residentual isp don't normally have static ip, and let you set the reverse dns entry, that are required for email also03:11

lordievaderGood afternoon13:43
blizzowI think one of the recent kernel releases broke 16.04's OOM killer. In particular the OOM killer has become really aggressive with KVM virtualization.14:16
blizzowhttps://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-4-4-5-kernel-out-of-memory-kill-process-8543-kvm-score-or-sacrifice-child.31569/#post-15716214:16
blizzowThe OOM killer is killing VMs even with less than 60% of my hypervisor RAM being used.14:17
lordievaderReally? That is quite agressive indeed. Is more memory committed that allowed?15:08

geigerCounterHi all. What terminal text editor do y'all use?18:16
caliculkI am currently having some apt packaging issues. Not sure how it happened, as I don't recall updating the server in several days. I have tried using 'dpkg --configure -a' and removing the lock file and trying to upgrade again, but unfortunately, it still won't work.18:17
OerHeksgeigerCounter, nano vim18:18
caliculkFull log is here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24028525/18:18
OerHekscaliculk, proper solution: run 'sudo fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat ' to see what process, and kill it. >> http://askubuntu.com/a/38070118:20
caliculkYeah, just found that.18:20
caliculkI thought I would come here first.18:20
OerHeksGood thinking, go ahead.18:21
thrasos_hello18:21
geigerCounterOerHeks: Neat. I've been trying out this fairly recent one called micro that I've been enjoying so far.18:22
thrasos_I am trying to enable CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing )18:23
thrasos_any tips?18:23
caliculkWell, I guess this was part of the problem - https://paste.ubuntu.com/24028554/ grub won't upgrade :/18:23
DoowI'm trying to install mariadb-server and using the command mysql_secure_installation, it complains about not being able to write some files to disk, even if I run it with sudo -u mysql, am I supposed to run it as root? I don't want to screw up the permissions for later.20:34
Doowlog: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24029495/20:35
DoowLooking at the files on disk it seems to be a bit of a mix between root and mysql that owns things20:37
compdocI think you do run with the mysql root account20:37
compdocshouldnt matter if you are root or not. shouldnt need to sudo20:40
Doowok, it definitely does on this machine20:42
Doowmaybe I've screwed up permissions allready, I've installed/purged/reinstalled20:43
