| RandalSchwartz | nice - the three-line change I made to the code a few weeks ago went live last night... reducing the load on 34 boxes by *half*
I wonder if I get to keep the 17 boxes they won't need now :) each of those is an 8-processor with 16GB of ram | [06:34] |
| schmir | nice one. I'd say it depends on if you wrote the code in the first place | [06:37] |
| RandalSchwartz | I didn't | [06:44] |
| awyeah | yay got a new laptop from work. | [06:54] |
| bob^^ | :D | [06:54] |
| awyeah | The laptop I'm giving back is a Centrino... it's kinda old now
2.25GHz centrino. single core. 80gb, 5400rpm hard drive. new one is a core2 duo t9400. whatever the hell that is. Shit, I don't know anything about computers anymore. Oh, that's just the model number. ;) awyeah moron. | [06:57] |
| dxtr | dxtr whiestles | [07:02] |
| RandalSchwartz | so what does a nice 8-proc 16GB box sell for these days? | [07:02] |
| dxtr | Generating a 8192 bit rsa key
o/ | [07:02] |
| RandalSchwartz | you must be afraid of even the NSA :) | [07:03] |
| awyeah | RandalSchwartz: My guess is... somewhere between $1 and $1,000,000,000
it's within that range somewhere. | [07:04] |
| RandalSchwartz | I bet it is! | [07:05] |
| dxtr | RandalSchwartz: It's mostly for the lols actually :)
But my server's got a 4096 bit key I think that's quite enough.. for now | [07:05] |
| *** | schmir has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) | [07:12] |
| dxtr | I spoke with someone who strongly believed the NSA could break a 256 bit RSA key in seconds :D
Beat that, RandalSchwartz! | [07:16] |
| bob^^ | i don't doubt that :/ | [07:20] |
| RandalSchwartz | with my newly-spare 17 boxes? :) | [07:20] |
| dxtr | bob^^: Really? In seconds? C'mon
In months? Sure. But seconds? nah. "Factoring RSA 512-bit keys is now squarely within the reach of anyone who is determined enough. As testimony to this, several 512-bit RSA keys used to sign the operating systems of Texas Instruments calculators were recently factored, reportedly within "several months"" http://www.javamex.com/tutorials/cryptography/rsa_key_length.shtml So.. Say weeks | [07:24] |
| *** | vtoms has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving.) | [07:27] |
| dxtr | But I fear the day quantum computers becomes more available | [07:27] |
| bob^^ | 512 is not 2x as secure as 256 remember
it's many many factors less secure if i remember the maths right :/ | [07:28] |
| dxtr | That's why I said weeks :P | [07:28] |
| bob^^ | and don't do it in software
design an ASIC or do it in your graphics card now factor in an essentially limitless budget and... :) suddenly not so unbelievable | [07:28] |
| dxtr | i'm still getting the feeling that this computer will be kind of... power hungry
Hmm.. or was it a 512 bit key the guy said? Don't remember | [07:29] |
| bob^^ | ASICs don't need to be that power hungry - they're designed to one task and to do it as quickly as possible
calculating prime factors isn't that complex remember :) i guess it depends if you drink the coolaid and believe that the NSA have a backdoor into public key encryption anyway ;) | [07:30] |
| dxtr | I'm kind of realistic and believe that NSA aren't some kind god
"OMG! THEY CAN DO SHIT THAT ISN'T EVEN INVENTED!" | [07:31] |
| bob^^ | hehe | [07:32] |
| dxtr | It's like here when people hear that I'm heavily encrypting my stuff | [07:32] |
| bob^^ | the limitless budget tends to have the ability to invent things you don't think are possible :P
oh i heavily encrypt my stuff too - nothing to hide, but that's not the point | [07:32] |
| dxtr | "The police would still be able to decrypt it!" - How the hell are they going to decrypt my hard drive? 64 byte key, AES encrypted. SSH? 4096 bit rsa key
It's not like they do it over breakfast | [07:35] |
| RandalSchwartz | in some jurisdictions, you can be compelled to reveal your key | [07:36] |
| bob^^ | depends on your local laws
you cuold be forced to reveal the key indeed ^^ it's now a requirement in the UK i believe (amazingly - i do *not* agree with this) | [07:36] |
| RandalSchwartz | I believe truecrypt actually has a stealth mode to combat this | [07:37] |
| bob^^ | which i guess is why truecrypt offers hidden volumes with a different key :)
yeah :D | [07:37] |
| RandalSchwartz | heh
are you sitting next to me? :) "get outta my head!" | [07:37] |
| bob^^ | :D
bob^^ waves over | [07:38] |
| *** | vtoms has joined #arpnetworks | [07:43] |
| dxtr | Actually I don't know my key
I've got a yubikey .D So they can ask and beat me how much they want I've got nothing to tell them | [07:44] |

| Damn. ftp.openbsd.org doesn't have 4.7 yet :/
ftp.eu.openbsd.org did ! | [08:05] | |
| cedwards | dxtr: they want you to pay for it! | [08:20] |
| ....... (idle for 31mn) | ||
| dxtr | So... I'll upgrade my router some day
Probabl this weekend probably* | [08:51] |
| cedwards | I'm curious what OpenBSD offers that FreeBSD does not.. besides the free tin-foil hat with each download. | [09:05] |
| RandalSchwartz | an ancient version of apache!
a non-standard version of NTP that breaks specs! however, a version of PF that is still ahead of FreeBSD's version (but not for long) | [09:07] |
| dxtr | Okay guys... I've gotta two book reports until tomorrow. Do you know of any good books? :D
gotta do two* (Hint: It must be novels) | [09:16] |
| bob^^ | what sort of books do you like? | [09:19] |
| cedwards | dxtr: any specific genre or just "two books" | [09:26] |
| dxtr | cedwards: Well, no specific genre as long as they're novels
bob^^: I don't like books at allk | [09:26] |
| bob^^ | ahh hehe | [09:27] |
| dxtr | That's kind of the reason I haven't done it | [09:27] |
| cedwards | ohh, so this doesn't count: http://store.xkcd.com/xkcd/#xkcdvolume0 ;) | [09:27] |
| bob^^ | i guess there's plenty of classics to choose from | [09:27] |
| cedwards | I highly recommend Stephen King, but his novels are generally long. | [09:27] |
| dxtr | cedwards: If it did I'd read that and "Simons cat" (Yes, my girlfriend got that book) | [09:27] |
| bob^^ | animal farm? 1984?
i've got simons cat too :) | [09:27] |
| dxtr | :D | [09:27] |
| RandalSchwartz | how novel does it have to be? | [09:28] |
| bob^^ | something by john steinbeck? of mice and men is quite good and nie and short iirc | [09:29] |
| dxtr | RandalSchwartz: The thing is that I won't have time to read anything. I'm thinking I'll google up some reports on books wich I've seen the movie and then go from there
Like.. Twilight and Harry Potter | [09:29] |
| RandalSchwartz | that can be dangerous | [09:29] |
| bob^^ | yaeh, i wouldn't do that
you can read of mice and men in a few hours | [09:29] |
| RandalSchwartz | the book is usually a bit (or a lot) different | [09:29] |
| bob^^ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Of_Mice_and_Men | [09:29] |
| RandalSchwartz | just steal something from wikipedia :) | [09:29] |
| bob^^ | only 107 pages | [09:29] |
| RandalSchwartz | nobody will figure *that* out | [09:29] |
| bob^^ | and it's actually quite an interesting book | [09:29] |
| RandalSchwartz | is it the Disney story?
about the beginnings of Mickey Mouse? | [09:30] |
| dxtr | Well, I'm averaging VG (The second highest grade on a three-grade-scale)
So hopefully I can't fail with this :D | [09:30] |
| bob^^ | this is great too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thirty-Nine_Steps | [09:30] |
| RandalSchwartz | "if you fail to plan... you will plan to fail" | [09:30] |
| bob^^ | i'd read those two
39 steps is a good action story too, might keep you interested | [09:30] |
| RandalSchwartz | "it's the memory guy!"
oops. Spoiler :) | [09:31] |
| dxtr | oh, actually it's four grades. IG > G > VG > MVG. And beacause I'm averaging VG in this course (English B) I'm hoping that no matter how this goes I'll get a G | [09:31] |
| bob^^ | dxtr: you could read the 39 steps *and* of mice and men within 6 hours
and understand them both quite well | [09:34] |
| dxtr | cool
So if I start now I'll be finished after midnight? :D | [09:35] |
| cedwards | better get started! | [09:35] |
| bob^^ | go go go | [09:35] |
| RandalSchwartz | ahh - it's the memory guy only in the Hitchcock version | [09:36] |
| bob^^ | hehehe | [09:36] |
| dxtr | Then I'll have to write the report + civics course
Awesome | [09:36] |
| cedwards | cedwards puts on his drill instructor hat and lets fly the obscenities to "motivate" dxtr | [09:36] |
| bob^^ | i've not seen the hitchcock one :( | [09:36] |
| dxtr | I'm hungry
I'll start studying whenever my dad comes home with food :D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyros <- Om nom nom nom | [09:42] |
| cedwards | procrastinator | [09:46] |
| dxtr | :D
FFFFUUUUUU-. I might be a true procrastinator "Procrastination can be a persistent and debilitating disorder in some people, causing significant psychological disability and dysfunction. These individuals may actually be suffering from an underlying mental health problem such as depression or ADHD." My girlfriend suspects I've got ADHD But I don't want ADHD so I'm not going to a doctor | [09:46] |
| bob^^ | heh, some swedish people i know in another channel are always going on abuot gyros :)
it looks a lot like donner kebab ;) | [09:49] |
| dxtr | "Traditionally, procrastination has been associated with perfectionism" <- again, my girlfriend is always bashing me because I'm a perfectionist like that
"Fuck everything else until this is perfect" kind of bob^^: Gyros > Kebab :) I hate kebab cedwards: I hate you for bringing tht up :P that up* | [09:50] |
| bob^^ | :) | [09:52] |
| cedwards | lol
go read your books | [09:54] |
| dxtr | hehe
No, but seriously. I'm too hungry to do anything productive right now | [09:55] |
| bob^^ | once you start reading you'll forget about being hungry | [09:56] |

| up_the_irons | cedwards: for me, OpenBSD offers basically: a community that is big enough that useful work gets done, yet small enough that things pretty much move in the same direction. there's not 26 ways to do the same thing in OpenBSD. There's generally one, and only one, way. I find this make it a lot simpler for me to understand.
cedwards: but specifically, I'm liking the idea of using OpenBSD's spamd with my new Postfix configuration, to reduce spam (of course) now, time to fight with apparmor and libvirt | [15:54] |

As I said, I've got to improvise a logbook for the 100 hours I was supposed to put into this project (In reality it took more like 2-3 hours) | [17:10] |
| up_the_irons | haha | [17:12] |
| dxtr | Okay, I've written down 36 hours so... 64 to go :P
Seriously, the rules for this project was insane It couldn't take less than 100 hours and one of my teacher asked me if I couldn't make them a webserver that the first year students can use (Upload php scripts and use a shell in the linux class) "Sure" I said | [17:12] |
| *** | nbari|away has quit IRC (*.net *.split)

| dxtr | Installed Apache and PHP (with SuExec and SuPHP) plus MySQL on a Debian machine
"Done!" Fixed quotas and stuff too I did it as slow as possible to drag it out. And I made a side project trying to learn my friend to write a script in either bash or perl that adds users in bulk (One class at a time) But he didn't gave so I gave that up he didn't care* | [17:13] |
| *** | nbari|away has joined #arpnetworks

So here I am Retardedly behind schedule (With the report and log book).. And tired... and hungry And Tomorrow I've got two more courses to finish (English and civics), on Friday I got two more But then I'm done with high school After this summer I'll study some high school math, religion and swedish so I can attend university though | [17:16] |

run everything as apache's user I wouldn't use suexec mostly because you'll likely have to recompile perl | [20:59] |

mostly bcause I don't run CGI :) | [21:00] |

| *** | woremacx has joined #arpnetworks | [21:01] |

and thats the default in a lot of system's packages | [21:01] |
| RandalSchwartz | what's your real question? | [21:02] |
| jdoe | you're not thinking of suidperl or anything are you? | [21:02] |
| ballen | might be | [21:02] |
| RandalSchwartz | allowing perl in suexec is a problem | [21:02] |

| RandalSchwartz | because perl can do anything | [21:03] |
