[00:51] *** greenskeleton has joined #arpnetworks [01:14] Anyone happen to know if Garry does some kind of limiting on inbound SSH connections? [01:14] (number of connections, that is, not throughput) [01:20] jlgaddis: more than 10 SYN's on port 22 per minute == blocks your IP for a minute [01:20] That's what I'm running into then, just wanted to verify. Thanks.

I get about one probe every three weeks, mostly looking for https weakness [06:28] and there are other reasons to run sshd on 443 [06:29] corporate firewall piercing? [06:29] indeed. [06:30] you should see all the crazy configs in my .ssh/config over the years [06:30] many of them involving "socat" [06:33] ProxyCommand socat - SOCKS4:localhost:%h:%p,socksport=9050 [06:35] ProxyCommand socat STDIO PROXY:wwwgate0.EXAMPLE.COM:blue.stonehenge.com:443,proxyport=1080 [06:35] socat rocks [06:35] like netcat, if you just kept going. :) [06:40] *** ziyourenxiang has quit IRC (Quit: ziyourenxiang) [06:42] RandalSchwartz: did you write "Learning Perl" ? [06:42] Yes. And Programming Perl, and a dozen other ISBNs [06:43] RandalSchwartz: i have it on my bookshelf ;) [06:43] Many people do, and I'm happy about that. [06:44] Not because I make money from those sales, because I do (about $1 before tax) [06:44] but because it means people are learning Perl properly, not like some of those other crappy boooks [06:44] hehe i quit perl [06:44] i start with shell and the move to python if it gets complex [06:44] s/the move/then move [06:45] well - if Python works better for you, use it. [06:45] but Perl is being used more today than in the dot-com boom [06:45] very big resurgence [06:45] the thing is [06:45] i got a google interview where they ask you to solve a problem with a pen and paper [06:45] i keep forgetting perl syntax and flunked [06:46] I'd say Perl is not for people who aren't using Perl at least a few hours a week [06:46] i think i could have done it with python because the syntax is easier to remember [06:46] any language has its rules. if you forget those rules, its not the languages fault. [06:46] for me, Perl syntax is easier to remember than Python syntax. :) [06:46] well the regexp sucks in python [06:47] if anything, you can say that Perl is a framework for regexp. :) [06:47] :D [06:48] i enjoy hacking in lisp these days... [06:48] 13:47:10 I'd say Perl is not for people who aren't using Perl at least a few hours a week <-- probably the #1 reason perl and I don't get along. as a sysadmin, I don't do enough scripting to become proficient at it. so, I still do most of my stuff in /bin/sh [06:49] one day though, Python and I will become friends. [06:49] I wrote the emacs-lisp pretty printer for GNU Emacs. [06:49] so every copy of emacs ships with a bit of me. :) [06:50] jpalmer: i did C -> Perl -> Python [06:50] jpalmer: and now it's shell because it's ubiqitous [06:50] RMS called the code "brilliant" the first time he saw it [06:50] RandalSchwartz: cool [06:50] RandalSchwartz: i contributed too, my patch made it to the last 23.3 [06:52] pp.el [06:53] the first time I fired up GNUS, and saw "loading pp...", I did a little happy dance [06:53] i have used pp [06:53] :D [06:53] GNUS uses pp to write its internal data back to the storage file [06:53] i am currently hacking a vt100 emulator in elisp [06:53] yeay - you've used my code. ) [06:54] yup works great [06:54] http://kanis.fr/nterm.html [07:49] *** bharatak has joined #arpnetworks [08:36] *** Zuul_ has joined #arpnetworks [08:38] *** Zuul has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [09:20] *** bharatak has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [09:38] *** cubelogic has joined #arpnetworks [09:41] *** HighJinx has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [09:53] *** robotarmy has joined #arpnetworks [10:12] *** LT has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [10:24] *** cedwards has left [10:26] *** whitefang has joined #arpnetworks [10:35] is it possible to start with 8.2-RELEASE on a new signup?

[13:12] *** fink has joined #arpnetworks [13:13] cool! [13:14] I'm also listed as a contributor in the GNUS docs for emacs. [13:14] although I can't remember now what I actually did. :) [13:14] something about changing a yes/no to yes/no/ask [13:15] I'm in the GNU Calc manual for suggesting an entire new API for it [13:15] and it turns out Org-Mode uses that API. [13:15] so indirectly, I helped expand org-mode, even before I had interviewed the guy [13:18] (calc-eval ... ) [13:26] * jpalmer is only listed as a contributor to apcupsd [13:26] back when it was a linux-only solution, I ported it to BSD/OS, and FreeBSD [13:27] (sounds more glamorous than it was. It was removing a bunch of hard coded paths, and making the config location something you could set. then writing BSD style start/stop scripts. [14:19] cool [15:19] I still get a free APC ups every year. they ship me one.. last year, I got a APC smart ups 1000 [15:20] actually, it's about a month or so from now when I'll likely get my next one if they continue it. [15:20] I really don't know WHY they do.. I only contributed 1 patch, like.. 10 years ago or so, and have never been active in apcupsd other than that. [15:22] <|dream> dude that's so cool [15:22] <|dream> send me your new one? [15:22] lol [15:31] LOL [15:31] i'll take it [15:32] yeah man [15:32] free UPSes for everyone [15:54] brown trucks? [16:23] I'd have nowhere to park it. [16:24] Wow, write code for apcupsd get a free SmartUPS? Schweet.

[18:13] last I heard, they were running SpinRite on the disk just to see if anything was recoverable. [18:13] that's a Bad Day [18:15] *** pilgrimd has joined #arpnetworks [18:18] wow [18:18] suckage [18:20] makes me wonder how secure my storage here is [18:20] do you make sure to put different batch disks into raid pairs? [18:20] I hear a lot of problem of raid is people buying 100 disks in the same batch [18:20] then pairing them [18:20] which of course, doesn't do much to mitigate the risk if they fail simultaneously [18:22] *** robotarmy has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [18:37] *** cubelogic has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [19:01] *** HighJinx has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [19:53] *** coobra has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [19:53] *** nerdd_ has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [19:53] *** twobithacker has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [19:53] *** hycer has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [19:53] *** toddf has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [19:53] *** raptelan has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [19:53] *** mjp has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [19:53] *** DaCa has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [19:53] *** d^_^b has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [19:53] *** greenskeleton has quit IRC (*.net *.split) [19:56] *** coobra has joined #arpnetworks [19:56] *** nerdd_ has joined #arpnetworks [19:59] *** greenskeleton has joined #arpnetworks [19:59] *** hycer has joined #arpnetworks [19:59] *** twobithacker has joined #arpnetworks [19:59] *** toddf has joined #arpnetworks [19:59] *** raptelan has joined #arpnetworks [19:59] *** mjp has joined #arpnetworks [19:59] *** DaCa has joined #arpnetworks [19:59] *** d^_^b has joined #arpnetworks [19:59] *** calvino.freenode.net sets mode: +o toddf [20:02] *** HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks [21:15] *** Lefty has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [21:16] *** Lefty has joined #arpnetworks
