| Myrtti | my god I hate allergy season | 08:41 |
| bigcalm | Anybody excited for this? https://www.gov.uk/alerts/planned-tests | 09:31 |
| bigcalm | If my idea of excitement is getting a text message, my life might be a little dull. | 09:32 |
| zxm-pi | i seem to remember irish government rolled something like this out for emergency sms. couldn't turn it off fast enough | 09:33 |
| Myrtti | Finland has had that for a relatively long time and pretty much everyone hates them | 10:09 |
| Myrtti | reminder to the allotment havers: first aid kit might be a good purchase | 10:11 |
| bigcalm | Good for the car as well | 10:19 |
| Myrtti | that I bought even before the car | 10:36 |

| daftykins | woke up at 8am yesterday ready for the mammoth day to begin... saw an email warning me the electrician of a client i had to attend first thing had already bowed out due to illness, score \o/ | 11:33 |
| bigcalm | No emergency text message for me :( | 13:41 |
| zxm-pi | you're not important enough to save | 13:42 |
| zxm-pi | ...or typical government flamingo up | 13:42 |
| daftykins | :D | 13:43 |
| zxm-pi | my money is they gave the contract to a sms bulk delivery company with no computers :-P | 13:43 |
| bigcalm | HA | 13:52 |
| bigcalm | Anybody here use lynis to automate checking things on servers? | 15:12 |
| bigcalm | I'm looking at a test for if a server needs to be rebooted. For Ubuntu this can be found by checking for the existence of /var/run/reboot-required | 15:13 |
| bigcalm | (this is how I would do it) | 15:13 |
| bigcalm | But lynis checks for /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs | 15:13 |
| bigcalm | I'm wondering what the difference is between the two | 15:13 |
| bigcalm | /var/run/reboot-required: *** System restart required *** | 15:14 |
| bigcalm | /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs: linux-base | 15:14 |
| bigcalm | I think the former gets sent to the MOTD | 15:15 |
| bigcalm | Should a) the presence of either file mean that a reboot is needed, OR b) only the .pkgs is a true indicator? | 15:19 |
| bigcalm | Nick expiring after 2 weeks?! Best not go on holiday | 16:07 |
| MattJ | No, 10 weeks | 16:13 |
| MattJ | Unless you stopped using the nick within 2 hours of your first login | 16:13 |
| MattJ | It's to stop people from registering nicks and then immediately logging out, to prevent anyone else using that nick | 16:14 |

| bigcalm | MattJ: I see. My fault for not clicking the link and assuming things from the headline :) | 21:09 |
| === DavieDavieDave is now known as m0nkey_ | ||
| diddledan | I would posit that both are created by the same process, so the .pkgs one is a list of which packages caused the reboot requirement while the non-.pkgs file is the message for the MOTD | 21:12 |
| === bigcalm is now known as Guest1816 | ||
| === bigcalm_ is now known as bigcalm | ||
| bigcalm | diddledan: I see. But why would the .pkgs file be removed but the other one not? | 21:14 |
| diddledan | no idea | 21:14 |
| * bigcalm kicks VirginMedia | 21:16 | |
| bigcalm | Work won't ya? 4G is sucky | 21:16 |
| zxm-pi | you need to get fully vaccinated for the 5g upgrade :-P | 21:18 |
