marcoagpinto:)10:46
marcoagpintohe said a dissertation is to write a story about something, and that is why my thesis is a crap10:46
marcoagpinto:)10:46
marcoagpintobecause it has no story, just facts/information10:47
marcoagpintoand I need to write a story for him... 20 pages... but I am very stressed10:47
BluesKajwell, you know that caffeine prevents relaxation and sometimes focus10:48

tomreynHey popeye, do you think those restrictions could be loosened a bit? https://community.ubuntu.com/t/limiting-brand-new-user-accounts/1068712:29
tomreynI've posted a topic, which got responses by several, including myself. I'd like to post a new topic but apparently cannot.12:29
tomreynlooks like i just made it to level one by reading the community guidelines (i was certain i had done so before). it would be great to point this out more.12:33
lotuspsychjepopey: ^12:34
tomreynoh, i misspelled the nick, thanks lotuspsychje12:34
lotuspsychjenp ; ) and hi tomreyn12:34
tomreynand hello to you as well ;)12:35
marcoagpintohey12:58
marcoagpinto:)12:58
hggdhgood mornings/afternoons/evenings to all13:31
lotuspsychjehey hggdh how goes13:32
OerHeks:-)\13:33
lotuspsychjeyou skared him OerHeks13:34
OerHeksi did, did i?13:34
BluesKajlotuspsychje, he shouldn't need compiz with the new gnome DEs14:28
pragmaticenigmalotuspsychje: youurway isn't worth spending much more time with. They're just wasting time whining about eeking out tiny droplets of performance from an already fairly high performance setup14:29
lotuspsychjethere is a package gnome-compiz but not sure how they use it these days14:29
lotuspsychjei recall a user experimenting with compiz succesfully on bionic before14:29
pragmaticenigmamutter is so tightly integrated, trying to use compiz is likely to make their experience worse14:29
BluesKajthe guy is a throwback to the unity days, he still thinks compiz will solve his nitpicky problems14:30
lotuspsychjewhen installing unity desktop on bionic all we need it gdm or lightdm choice14:30
lotuspsychjenot sure how compiz fits in anymore14:31
BluesKajdon't think he's even using unity. He just thinks he does14:31

TJ-lotuspsychje: note the "pcieport 0000:00:1c.4: AER: Corrected error received: 0000:00:1c.4" <- could be the bridge that contains the GPU14:37
lotuspsychjeyeah could be TJ-14:38
pragmaticenigmalotuspsychje: Another thing to note, nvidia's driver is known to have an issue with the pipeline setting that causes either screen tearing or jutter depening on it's value14:38
lotuspsychjewe might keep an eye on that auto nvidia driver loading from canonical these days too14:39
lotuspsychjei wonder if it will pick 'best' driver14:40
pragmaticenigmaI would guess they are going to take the work being done in the graphics driver team's ppa and start having them send their updates into the main proposed repo14:40
tomreynyou're talking about some recent article or blog post where a tiighter integration of nvidia proprietary drivers into ubuntu was announced, right?15:23
tomreyni saw this the other day, but tried to find it again last night and could only come up with 2018 articles on this15:23
tomreynor maybe what we all read was actually old?15:23
lotuspsychjethere's a schedule wiki on it tomreyn15:24
tomreynlotuspsychje: a schedule wiki, what's that?15:25
lotuspsychjeschedule of that nvidia integration, but forgot url15:25
tomreynoh i found the recent article on this channel log https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2019/07/12/ubuntu-executes-another-massive-change-to-the-way-it-updates-proprietary-nvidia-drivers/15:26
tomreynmaybe forbes is not the best source for this15:27
pragmaticenigmathey're not15:27
pragmaticenigmaEach article has a 50/50 shot of being fact checked and accurate15:27
OerHeksoehh  i like risky info & details15:29
OerHekstomreyn,  did you bing or google?15:29

tomreynthank you, lotuspsychje !16:03
lotuspsychjetomreyn: np, now food here16:08
daftykinsdo i spy an openssl issue fixed apache sneaking into bionic?16:09
pragmaticenigmahuh?16:15
pragmaticenigmadependency mix match daftykins ?16:15
TJ-daftykins: that'll be the one I hunted down, yes16:15
tomreynhttp://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/a/apache2/apache2_2.4.29-1ubuntu4.8/changelog16:15
daftykinsTJ-: great :D and good work!16:16
daftykinsah http2, iirc that isn't in use with prefork? i was only reading about the different mpm's for the first time the other day16:20
tomreynyou use prefork in production?16:22
daftykinsyep, i only handle small sites16:22
daftykinsmore than happy to hear good advice on what i should consider :D but i always just used to prune the worker count and stick to default, yep16:23
TJ-There are some TLSv1.3 issues caused by openssl 1.1.1 changes affecting nginx and possibly other packages, too16:25
daftykinsi kept feeling like i should take nginx for more of a spin, but i feel comfy sticking to what i 'know' :)16:25
tomreyndaftykins: i used to use prefork with mod_php in the past, but nowadays prefer nginx or apache mpm with separate application servers (fpm for php) since it makes it more configurable and a lot easier to identify where things are going wrong especially if you host multiple web applications or multiple user contexts (shared hosting).16:39
tomreynmuch of nginx is really nice if you don't have users who insist on .htaccess files. it is less configurable than apache httpd, but usually you don't need this. nginx is fast by default, requires learning a new configuration syntax, though. and sometimes mind bending to get the configuration you need.16:43
TJ-I prefer apache2 because I know whatever weird edge-case I might want to use it for, there will be a module for it, and because I use the custom suexec package to have each vhost run as a different user account16:47
daftykinsmmm i've seen too much use of .htaccess between nextcloud and wordpress, on a single server where i host a few sites, they're mostly static pages16:52
daftykinsif the prevailing advice would be to switch to worker instead of prefork though, i'm all ears?16:52
daftykinsi think it's fair to say my experience only goes so far as getting things going for the most part - i could probably benefit from the suexec approach to separate my friends wordpress site from his nextcloud instance which i just set up the other night16:53
daftykinsi went down the route of using ecryptfs against the data path in the end, so if i have to restart the digitalocean VPS for updates say, i need to SSH in and mount it again, providing the key - before nextcloud will resume operating16:54
daftykinstotally useless as i understand it whilst it's running - so i'm wondering whether his employees should consider using client side tools for encrypting documents in addition16:55
pragmaticenigmawould like to better understand nginx... I was always under the impression it was meant for static content only, and if you needed dynamic content, you could create a provider and forward that through nginx17:00
TJ-The apache event worker is just as performant as nginx in most cases which addresses some of the reasons nginx exists... the biggest thing that help back apache was php17:01
TJ-s/help/held/17:01
pragmaticenigmasurprised PHP is still around after the major bugs that were found a few years back... I saw a lot of companies distance themselves from it17:02
TJ-everything has bugs, no matter what technology is used, PHP is a target due to being so prevalent of course, but Java EE has the same record overall.17:06
pragmaticenigmaPHP is a target because it was very popular. PHP itself really wasn't what was vulnerable, as much as it was how developers used its tools and exposed things unintentionally17:09
tomreynphp made it really easy to make grave mistakes. also there was the low entry barrier, unlike java, which has a higher one. you'd hope people understanding higher level langauges also have a better idea of how to program properly, and sometimes they do.17:11
pragmaticenigmamost do... but when it comes time for hobby projects, they sometimes aren't as attentive17:12
tomreyni agree with 'apache event worker can be just as performant as nginx'. you may need to tweak it more snice it comes with less targetted defaults than nginx does.17:13
tomreynbut then if the nginx default targets are wrong you may need to tweak a lot there, and documentation is levels worse than that of apache httpd)17:14
pragmaticenigmayeah... took a fair amount of fine tuning for me to get apache to play nice with mod_wsgi for my python projects17:14
