updating my server to the final 8.4 release (p31)
rebooting... here's hoping it works well. :)
well, that worked reasonably well
Hooray!
now I just have to wait for poudriere to finish the remaining 27 packages for freebsd 9.3, and I can try to roll over to that
I'm renting a tiny machine at DigitalOcean (for free) as my package builder.
all SSD goodness. :)
wow... just found a problem with one of my conf files... glad I'm going through all of this very carefully
3 packages remaining
weechat users - have any of you guys ever had an issue where a specific channel buffer won't respond to filter toggle hotkeys?
alt + = works on this one, but not another. it's odd.
heh... not enough I/O happening on my build machine to generate enough randomness to build the apache22 package. :)
so I downloaded www.google.com about 100 times :)
haha
the new package builds unique primes to prevent logjam
gotcha
i remember having to resort to weird stuff to build up entropy on netbsd running under xen
2048 and 3072 or someting like that... big'uns
harvesting from the NIC and stuff like that
while true; do curl www.google.com >/dev/null; done
and having to use haveged on archlinux to get enough to init pacman
build is complete!  all packages success.
huzzah
now I just have to wait for freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.3-RELEASE to merge my conf files, and I can then snapshot and start turning things off
zfs snapshot -r zroot@before93
so I can roll back from the fixit shell
the whole freebsd-upgrade thing is pretty amazing
yup, good stuff
ahh, I should switch to adium so I can stay here and ask questions if something goes sideways
switching to adium
here I am
still downloading the 9.3 updates
I *am* visible, right? :)
m0unds: Never had that happen, but I also don't toggle filtering that often. Can't imagine a cause, sorry.
brycec: yeah, it's baffling
ahh, there, I see brycec
won't even let me toggle smart filter on/off, and that's the only one i have set globally
but just for that one channel/buffer
man… still downloading
well, I can imagine… 9.3 is not 8.4 :)
so weird.
managed to download 2G of files so far
I'm peeking into /var/db/freebsd-update :)
ooohhh… patches!
1091 patches
o/~ patches I'm depending on you son… it's ALLL up to you… o/~
fetching 8757 files
fetched!  Now for the fun part… the MERGE
almost every system file needs me to merge the VERSION number… gah
I kind of miss the days when stuff on *nix would break frequently
I had fun fixing it
it's part of why i won't run linux as a primary desktop
too much time spent fixing stuff years ago. prefer stuff working without hassle now.
oh, i can't run x at anything but 640x480. guess i oughta spend hours with modesetting to at least manage 800x600
bleck
ok, all prepped… now stopping services
good luck
emergency snapshot made
(thank you, ZFS!)
I'm gonna have to learn how to use beadms some day though
snapshots are handy
for some reason i thought you did your update yesterday
oh you built packages yesterday...
no… I was prepping for it yesterday
m0unds: svgatextmode was such a bitch for modelines..
yep, hated it
so bad
m0unds: things are better now...much better.
things are...TOO easy in fact..
sort of
i kind of miss svgatextmode :)
brb gotta install netbsd on my ecig
phlux: doesn't mean stuff doesn't still arbitrarily break and waste my time :)
it encouraged me to single focus
and my comptuer was too slow for graphics
so i didn't get distracted on the web as much
kernel done… here's the first big reboot
new Bios!
SeaBIOS
oooh…the 9.x devil head!
9.x beastie that is
kernel loaded
new bios?
dmesg'ish output looking good
login prompt!
Very Good Sign
now can you login? :)
now installing userland
odd. "WARNING: sysctl kern.ipc.semmap does not exist"
I wonder if that's some override I put in that has now renamed
still installing userland
oops… spoke too soon
there.. now installing ports
all freshly built a few hours ago
poudriere sure makes things much easier
reinstalling perl, python, ruby, php :)
rebooting for 9.3 userland!
beastie face!
That's what she said!!
heh
9.3-RELEASE-p13
prompt!
postfix started fine
good sign
postgres looks intact
and my website, sadly, is up
I really need to redo my website.
shoemaker's children issue though.
But… hooray.  Mission accomplished.
time to go back to my other irc client
and I'm back
looks like I'm on freenode via ipv6 still.  yeay
:)
so looking like success?
yes... I'm moving on to other tasks now
starting now what I hoped I could start at noon. :)
heh
I have a client whose pc has been infected by a Cryptolocker virus. Has anyone been able to brute force the private key to restore files without paying the creeps?
depends on the version
more recent versions are more "secure", and the typical suggestion is to restore from backups
 assuming windows users store backups
it's nice that windows is making it a little easier to do simple backups now
plenty do
i think mnathani_ is thinking home users?
I think they have CryptoWall 3
i don't know anyone who uses inbuilt backup stuff, but lots of people who use software to handle it
which is much more uncommon...
probably depends on who :)
doesn't matter
mnathani_: do they have backups?
no backups
yeah they either have backups or not
apart from some dropbox stuff
sell them a backup solution too then :)
most of my clients are the react to stuff after it happens rather than proactively take care of stuff
yeah ime people who do backups tend to get viruses less.
i haven't heard of any way to restore encrypted files w/recent versions of cryptolocker and variants
aside from restoring from backups
unless they've been hit before
there was a vulnerable version a couple years back, one of the earlier ones, and they stored they key locally
stored the*
is it worthwhile to keep a copy of the encrypted files to be able to restore in the future when brute forcing the private key is feasible
no idea
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/cryptowall-ransomware-information#cryptowall3 fwiw
... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptoLocker
Error in Wikipedia's response:
... During the operation, a security firm involved in the process obtained the database of private keys used by CryptoLocker, which was in turn used to build an online tool for recovering the keys and files without paying the ransom.
RandalSchwartz: there are incremental updates to cryptolocker
... https://www.decryptcryptolocker.com
Ahh... too bad
still... the real WTF is windows
yea, that's why most mitigation strategies center on restoring files
same reason i don't care that people use stuff i don't
this is actually really scary
doesn't impact my life in any way, so i don't care
haha
i can see a valid case for just paying it for some people
yea
which will encourage them to do it more
yup
it's amusing though that there are so many good, cheap ways to do backups and people just...don't do it
well most people don't care.
until they have a problem.
they just assume they won't have to deal with it
or dont' realize that shit happens and they might have to deal with something breaking
That's what she said!!
there are certain expectations around computers
then they're taken by surprise and ask someone else to fix it
like they shoudl "just work"
this is why i don't work w/IT anymore
and anyone who's been in IT a long time has had data corruption, lost files, etc etc.
i have only got very basic backups for windows myself..
but i don't store anything important on windows.
most people don't haave good backups of their phones too
I do a morning clone
because I'm on the road 2-4 weeks at a time
can't afford to be stopped if something breaks
when I go home, I clone the clone to my drobo
so it's now on four spindles
randal: see, you're the prudent type.  you're unlikely to get viruses.
a lot of these viruses seem to come from people going to dodgy sites
and running dodgy programs.
and not updating anything, ever
like random "cleanup" programs.
oh, flash wants an update? meh. oh, java wants an update (even though i never use java for anything, ever) meh
god i wish windows would be less intrusive about updates.
i'm sure a lot of peoples problem with windows updates is that they always happen at annoying times
IE and chrome both include flash themselves so they control the updates to it directly
and you have to wait ages to shut down and to start up
w/win8 they just happen
and you eventually need to backup
err, reboot
and if you don't, it'll schedule a reboot late at night to finish
yeh
and it's inconvenient
but will prompt you to do it
windows 10 is even worse for randomly rebooting
not really inconvenient on a machine that's up with no user at it
it seems to like to schedule things overnight, then you lose everything you had open
well it is if you like to leave programs running
but i mean in this modern age, with all of their money behind them, surely they can do updates without needing to reboot
linux is acquiring kernel patching suport for running kernels..
but a lot of the reboots in windows are for things like .net framework
IE includes flash now? That's news to me.
i didn't know that ie included flash
as of IE10 iirc
Internet Explorer 10 includes Adobe Flash as a platform feature and is available out-of-the-box for Windows 8, on both Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer for the desktop. Users can turn this feature on or off using the Manage Add-ons dialog box, while administrators can turn this feature on or off using the Group Policy setting, Turn off Adobe Flash in Internet Explorer and prevent applications from
using Internet Explorer technology to instantiate Flash objects.
wtf, filtering started working again
@weather akl
Auckland International, New Zealand: Clear 50°F (10°C), Humidity: 66%, Wind: From the SE at 9 MPH -- For more details including the forecast and almanac, see http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=-37.00805664,174.79167175 or re-request this with: @weather -v akl
it lies
http://www.weather.com/weather/today/l/NZXX0003:1:NZ also gives the same info
As does http://forecast.io/#/f/-37.0015,174.7890
it's probably wind chill or because it's a bit of a distance away
hmm http://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/auckland/north-shore says feels like 6c
which i think is due to the wnd being high
(and from colder locations)
