[12:47] I want to record only the time when there is a cache hit and not a cache miss using curl. that's the value contained in `x-cache`(hit or miss) in response header.

[12:53] exactly what I needed - appreciated [12:54] brb - needs a reboot [13:07] https://usn.ubuntu.com/4182-4/ A regression was discovered that caused some Skylake processors to hang after a warm reboot. === cpaelzer__ is now known as cpaelzer [19:50] I'm trying to setup Amazon SES for sending TLS enabled email. Using the documentation here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/postfix.html [19:51] Evidently the Amazon documentation is wrong and it is giving me an error... cannot load Certification Authority data, CAfile="/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt": disabling TLS support [19:54] compare against https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/postfix.html which should do a better job describing debian/ubuntu tls configs [20:08] sarnold, Do I need to generate a TLS certificate? [20:08] evit: I'm not sure, I haven't hosted email in the modern era [20:09] sarnold, I'm sending only through Amazon SES [20:11] sarnold, When I switch my smtp_tls_CAfile to /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificate.crt in main.cf it works without issue. [20:11] yay [20:15] hi everyone [20:19] sarnold, This looks like the correct path https://www.webmoves.net/blog/build/send-email-from-ubuntu-linux-via-amazon-ses-3139/ [20:19] now I get no errors and mail is flowing w/ TLS [20:19] very nice, thanks for the link === RoyK^ is now known as RoyK [20:28] sarnold: i see email hosting questions [20:28] ... and I run my own email ;) [20:28] a little bit late I know but... [20:28] hey teward :) [20:28] teward, Hi [20:29] teward, Amazon SES documentation seems to be wrong on Ubuntu to SES config [20:29] https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/postfix.html [20:30] teward, This looks like the correct path https://www.webmoves.net/blog/build/send-email-from-ubuntu-linux-via-amazon-ses-3139/ [20:30] teward, Correct CA file is sudo postconf -e 'smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt' [20:30] Amazon doesn't have enough $$$ to have correct docs. =P [20:31] well... in 18.04 /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt *is* a valid path... [20:31] and unless you're blind, the section stating "If you use Ubuntu or a related distribution, type the following command:" is using the ***correct command*** you just stated [20:31] ;) [20:31] point 7 bullet point #2 [20:31] soooooooooooooooooooooooo [20:31] teward: the thing is that th e docs were written for rh-derivatives that use CAfile="/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt": instead [20:31] ah [20:31] sarnold: correction: [20:31] there's multiple bullet points [20:31] and you have to ***actually read*** to know which command(s) to run ;) [20:32] so this is a case of PEBKAC and not reading the document properly [20:32] teward, don't be a passive aggressive d-wad [20:33] I see it now [20:33] that wasn't my intention [20:33] but if you want to call names [20:33] *goes to do something else more productive with his time* [20:33] I've got an Ubu18LTS server up. /boot is small. kernel HWE 18 *is* installed/enabled. Kernels in place are 4.15.0-72, 5.0.0-36 & 5.0.0-37 (running). [20:34] If I apt remove 4.15.0-72 & friends, the action is: "linux-generic linux-headers-4.15.0-72 linux-headers-4.15.0-72-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-4.15.0-72-generic linux-image-generic linux-modules-4.15.0-72-generic linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-72-generic linux-tools-4.15.0-72 [20:34] linux-tools-4.15.0-72-generic linux-tools-generic" [20:34] is it 'safe' to remove the unversioned "linux-generic" & "linux-headers-generic"? [20:34] or 4.15x in general? [20:35] I have an active directory in samba4 and I need to know if there is any way to store a user's password in SSHA, or another type of hash [20:35] pgnd: those are how you get updates [20:36] sarnold: hi. the 'generic' ones? [20:36] pgnd: yeah [20:36] pgnd: those meta-packages are updated to include dependencies on the new kernels when updates are released [20:37] Hm. So, since I *do* want updates that come along with the 18HWE, I'm stuck with keeping the 4.15.0x packages around? even though I'll NEVER use them? [20:38] pgnd: if you're running the HWE kernel then you can remove the release kernels, sure [20:39] sarnold: sry, I'm being dense. If I do remove the release kernels, it rm's the 'generic' pkgs, as above. Then updates don't work, iiuc. But I *do* want updates ... of the HWE kernels. [20:39] or are THEY handled by different packates? [20:39] pgnd: yeah, they are, eg https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe [20:40] hm. don't have any *meta* pkgs installed atm ... [20:40] looking at the link [20:43] linux-generic-hwe-18.04 perhaps? [20:43] ah, so 'meta' is not in the naming ... looking at "Built Packages" [20:44] yeah, source package names don't have to match binary package names. It can be bloody confusing, and the ratsnest of kernel packages is the worst of the lot, I think [20:45] sarnold: ok, I've got: linux-generic-hwe-18.04 linux-headers-generic-hwe-18.04 linux-hwe-tools-4.8.0-52 linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 [20:45] installed. is that^ sufficient to safely REMOVE the 'release' 4.x kernel* ? [20:45] Apt/.deb packages were never designed to have multiple versions installed in parallel, so the kernels with the versions in the names are hacky [20:45] I literally only make sense of these things because I've got a local archive mirror and can do things like ls -ld main/l/linux*/*hwe* kinds of things [20:45] yeah, Ubu-space kernel naming is ... challenging. Not my usual cup o' tea! ;-) [20:47] pgnd: that linux-hwe-tools-4.8.0-52 is ~2 years old, probably it can be removed.. [20:47] lordcirth_: I'm generally in suse-land; bit simpler there. or at least I understand it better :-) [20:48] hehe, "probably"! u in Marketing? Sales? ;-p [20:48] :D [20:49] * pgnd holds breath while uninstalling. bets self $1 that it'll automagically reinstall itself, just to piss me off [20:50] lol [20:52] The recent upgrade from 16LTS to 18LTS was 'very greedy' about /boot space. very Microsoft-like. had to crib using /boot temporarily on an external USB. woulda hoped that 250MB for a boot partition was enuf for an upgrade ... [20:52] oof yeah that's way too tight [20:53] well, perspective. the install process is way too fat! [20:53] even post-install, 256 is going to give you a bad time [20:54] no clear reason it NEEDS GBs in /boot. nah, production's just fine. [20:54] that's /boot, NOT /root [20:55] which reminds me ... anyone KnowForCertain(tm) whether 18LTS can/does boot from /boot on RAID-1? 16LTS sure didn't ... [20:55] 512 megs should be enough for four ~60M initramfses, kernels, symbol maps.. [20:56] sure. clear how it scales. just not clear why the installer had that demand. water under the bride, anyway, now [20:58] poor bride hope the dress didn't get soaked :) [20:58] heh, oops. [20:58] pgnd: there's just something that'll keep around ~four kernels during updates and upgrades and these things aren't small any more.. [20:59] back inthe day I had a linux rescue floppy that could mount ntfs and fix winnt permissions problems.. 1.44 mb.. crazy. [21:00] yeah, yeah. I'm 'spoiled'. In suse it's trivial to specify multiinstalls, what & how many kernels are installed, kept, purged etc. [21:01] I typically keep boot on LV on RAID 1 or 10. Then scaling to demand is trivial. Physical partitions are an annoying PITA. Which is why I'm looking/hoping (currently, not finding) re: Ubu18 boot on RAID support scope, if any. [21:04] rm'd the release kernels, rebooted. now, boot's @ "ext4 256M 128M 111M 54% /boot" [21:04] and no smoke! cool. [21:15] pgnd: there's something that's missing with raid in boot but I've never taken the time to understand it -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1466150 [21:15] Launchpad bug 1466150 in grub-installer (Ubuntu) "grub-install breaks when ESP is on raid" [High,Triaged] [21:17] pgnd: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels may be useful to you too [21:17] saw that. that's on EFI. works fine here on "Other OS"; jhas for ages. That said, on Ubu18, I'd settle for legacy/old-school ... [21:18] thx 4 the autorm refs [21:34] my search-fu is NOT strong. can't seem to find docs, or anecdotal evidence, that it DOES work on non-EFI. [23:12] lsmod | grep btr [23:12] darn! sorry
