[02:00] <mybalzitch> how do I get whois to use ipv4 by default
[02:00] <mybalzitch> I don't see a -4 option or anything in the man page
[06:24] <pvh_sa> @mybalzitch, in the whois man page it only talks about using IPv4, so I don't think a -4 option is needed 
[06:35] <mybalzitch> except ripe denies my query because my ipv6 address space has exhausted the number of queries its allowed to make
[07:51] <pvh_sa> oh I see - you mean you want it to bind your IP4 address for queries
[08:14] <pvh_sa> @mybalzitch, do you think the answer here about network namespaces might help: https://superuser.com/questions/241178/how-to-use-different-network-interfaces-for-different-processes ?
[19:28] <foo> https://bpa.st/TOAJE - trying to update ubuntu, getting this. Haven't touched this low priority system in a whiel. Any thoughts/suggestions?
[19:49] <rfm> foo, what it's telling you is ubuntu 16.04 went EOL last year so no updates are available through the normal channels. All the paths forward are unpleasant in various ways, so I have no real suggestions. 
[20:02] <arraybolt3> foo: If possible, back up the data on the server and then follow the EOLUpgrades procedure. That's what I'd do at least.
[20:02] <arraybolt3> !eolupgrades
[20:02] <ubottu> End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[20:13] <rfm> foo, if you do decide to try EOLUpgrades, note you'll be upgrading 16.04 to 18.04 which only has 16 months left, so you'll want to upgrade again to 20.04 very soon.  It's possible that a fresh install and restoring the data and services would be less work.  (Also the only time I ever tried EOLUpgrades it failed and created a huge mess, but that was a Long Time Ago.)

[21:06] <foo> rfm: eek. 
[21:06] <foo> arraybolt3: eek
[21:06] <foo> thank you.
[21:06] <foo> This is an old outdated project.
[21:07] <arraybolt3> Really it might be best to just back up the data and reinstall from scratch - sometimes upgrades can go awry.
[21:07] <arraybolt3> foo: ^
[21:07] <foo> arraybolt3: I will definitely do that, it's only a small web app
[21:07] <foo> arraybolt3: thank you
[21:08] <arraybolt3> (And also, back up *all* the data, sometimes things store data where you wouldn't expect!)
[21:08] <arraybolt3> Good luck!
