| *** | Hien has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
Hien has joined #arpnetworks | [06:02] |
| ....... (idle for 34mn) | ||
| awyeah | Hey how do all of you back up your freebsd boxes? I'm using duplicity/duply, but it's a pain in the ass. Anything simpler? | [06:37] |
| grody | depends what you're backing up.. most of my FreeBSD box are in VPS with small initial disks and use rsync to a main backup server | [06:45] |
| awyeah | Well ideally I'd like to back up the whole thing, which is what I'm doing with duply/duplicity right now
because otherwise I will invariably forget to put a certain directory in the backup | [06:50] |
| *** | relrod_ has joined #arpnetworks
relrod_ has quit IRC (Changing host) relrod_ has joined #arpnetworks | [07:00] |
| relrod_ is now known as relrod | [07:06] | |
| grody | there are the built in options dump & restore which can simplyfy file system backps across a network
havent used them much myself, but they are quite effective | [07:12] |
| awyeah | Yeah I've used those on my box locally here, but only to play with. Maybe I should give them another look | [07:13] |
| grody | aye, just remember to run them through SSH tunnels though (iirc they dont have network crypot built in)
crypto* i've long deployed a different strategy now where i use ezjails.. i can fresh install and dump the jails back in a short space of time.. save so much hassle in the outer OS, use as little as possible - that way you really only have one folder to backup | [07:14] |
| awyeah | that's a really good idea
all my web stuff is in an ezjaiul. ezjail. But my database, dns, mail, that stuff is on the main box. basically, other than mail, anything that accepts incoming connections from the world gets jailed. | [07:18] |
| mercutio | WOW
microsoft donated to openbsd. | [07:21] |
| ...... (idle for 29mn) | ||
| grody | sweet
do remember reading they had lecci bill issues earlier this year glad my electric costs aren't that much | [07:50] |
| ...... (idle for 25mn) | ||
| brycec | Not only that, but a *Gold* contributor
aka "More than Google" heh | [08:16] |
| ................... (idle for 1h32mn) | ||
| mike-burns | I put everything in git repos, then back up ~git using tarsnap. | [09:48] |
| awyeah | hmm that's an interesting strategy mike-burns | [09:55] |
| mike-burns | ~% ls ~git | wc -l
53 | [09:56] |
| ...... (idle for 27mn) | ||
| awyeah | that's a lot of repos | [10:23] |
| ....... (idle for 31mn) | ||
| brycec | You think 53 is a lot? lol...
(ie. "that's so cute") | [10:54] |
| ..... (idle for 23mn) | ||
| grody | hah
never thought of using git for backups reminds me.. got to pull a large backup transatlantic for an upgrade (which is going to nuke my setup again) | [11:17] |
| ............. (idle for 1h2mn) | ||
| bloody heck my mail servers reject an awful lot of connections (mostly RBL based rejects) | [12:21] | |
| ................ (idle for 1h18mn) | ||
| mercutio | brycec: i saw it said gold, but couldn't see anywhere what that meant | [13:39] |
| brycec | mercutio: more than $25.000.
(assuming you're talking about the MSFT donation to the OBSD Foundation) | [13:39] |
| mercutio | cool well it looked like that was how much it used to cost them normally
err more than and now they hav lots of money :/ | [13:39] |
| brycec | Don't ever let that discourage you from donating though. There will be a time when the corps don't donate and they'll rely on their bank | [13:40] |
| mercutio | although i'm sure they prefer to sepend more of it :)
yeh there was bank stuff before err spending of previous mone y shit i need my coffee :) | [13:40] |
| ....... (idle for 30mn) | ||
| awyeah | I have often thought of using git for etc folders. | [14:11] |
| brycec | There's git-annex too which tracks the changes, but doesn't store the files themselves. | [14:12] |
| awyeah | interesting
So can you still go back to previous revs? | [14:14] |
| brycec | That's my understanding | [14:14] |
| .... (idle for 16mn) | ||
| mercutio | you can always just add some files to it
you don't have to track everything.. just do backups for things that don't change? but yeah if you store /etc/passwd everywhere you may be reducing your security well /etc/shadow i like keys over passwords anyway | [14:30] |
| wow, another 0 day flash exploit | [14:37] | |
| awyeah | right that's true.
But I could .gitignore passwd and master.passwd | [14:39] |
| mercutio | @weather akl | [14:43] |
| BryceBot | Auckland International, New Zealand: Overcast ☁ 45°F (7°C), Humidity: 66%, Wind: From the South at 13 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 | [14:43] |
| mercutio | that's much warmer than it feels :) | [14:44] |
| brycec | To be fair, with such a breeze it's going to feel much cooler than that.
a la "windchill" | [14:50] |
| awyeah | I've been to AKL
nice airport. | [14:51] |
| ...... (idle for 27mn) | ||
| mercutio | awyeah: location of the airport sucks :)
there's like nowhere good anywhere nearby ever since android 5 my phone seems to have charging issues but it never feels very warm | [15:18] |
| awyeah | oh
well I never left that airport it was just a connection on my way to Wellington. | [15:26] |
| mercutio | yeh
i haven't been to wellington airport actually | [15:29] |

| RandalSchwartz | the hotel bar here in Porto Alegre is selling "shots" of Smirnoff Vodka for about $4.50 US (14 Reals).
Except, I don't think they know what a shot is. I'm getting a largish glass filled with what I estimate to be 3 to 4 shots each time. so I'm getting 4.5 to 6 ounces of decent vodka for that price... in a hotel. | [16:59] |
| awyeah | That's a pretty good deal. | [17:09] |
| BryceBot | That's what she said!! | [17:09] |
| awyeah | have them give you some cranberry juice with your 'shots' | [17:09] |
| RandalSchwartz | cannot consume cranberry juice
has nothing useful for me well, maybe minor micronutrients but the macronutrients overshaodw | [17:21] |
| hazardous | i enjoy cranberry juice, but only small amounts at a time
not for nutrients. just the taste | [17:24] |
| BryceBot | That's what she said!! | [17:24] |
| RandalSchwartz | yeah. I've learned that "just the taste" can kill me, slowly. | [17:24] |
| mnathani_ | mercutio: check out this image on your 4k monitor when you get a chance and let me know what you think : http://mnathani.com/uploads/2015-07-08_panorama-take2.jpg
Its a view out my apartment | [17:26] |
| RandalSchwartz | Yeah - I just paid $15 USD for about 2/3 of a Smirnoff Vodka bottle, and I'm in a hotel. | [17:31] |
| mercutio | it looks pretty coool the colours suck though
wow it looks so much sharper on 4k than 1440p heh i just got tinted glasses, a few pairs, so now i'm trying with different tints amber tint seems to make it look more defined.. | [17:38] |
| mnathani_ | if you zoom in to the top left area, you should see the cn tower | [17:41] |
| mercutio | whem i zoom in it's really soft | [17:42] |
| BryceBot | That's what she said!! | [17:42] |
| mercutio | there are a lot of trees
hmm amber tints make my white levels on my two monitors look totally different | [17:42] |
| mnathani_ | I should do another one in the fall | [17:43] |
| mercutio | but normally i don't notice | [17:43] |
| RandalSchwartz | I dated a girl named Amber Tints once... | [17:43] |
| mercutio | i need to fix my colours i think
are you using HDR? i was curious if 10% yellow tint would make any noticable difference to comptuer use | [17:44] |
| RandalSchwartz | That doesn't look HDR | [17:45] |
| mnathani_ | dont think so | [17:45] |
| RandalSchwartz | the whites are blown out | [17:45] |
| mercutio | yeh that's what i thought | [17:45] |
| RandalSchwartz | the darks also | [17:45] |
| mercutio | i think that's why i thought colours looked bad
i'm used to HDR for big pictures :) | [17:46] |
| RandalSchwartz | typical 5 to 7 f-stops
just a pano | [17:46] |
| mnathani_ | this one was done with a simple point and shoot | [17:46] |
| RandalSchwartz | nice pano though | [17:46] |
| mnathani_ | tripod helped | [17:47] |
| RandalSchwartz | heh... all of mine have been hand-held
but with pano assist no wait... the early ones all just "doing it" | [17:47] |
| mnathani_ | what do you use to stitch the images? | [17:48] |
| RandalSchwartz | trying to find the seattle skyline that I did with a pano
something on flickr | [17:48] |
| brycec | Neat, mnathani_ | [17:49] |
| mnathani_ | brycec: thanks
Here is a 2 minute timelapse as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9qw7SNrWtY | [17:53] |
| BryceBot | YouTube video: "2 Minute Clip - View From 20th Floor in Toronto ON" by Mansoor Nathani | [17:55] |
| RandalSchwartz | canadian... is it in metric? | [17:56] |
| brycec | And now I have mnathani_'s address (shy of the apartment number, though that wouldn't take long to "brute force") | [18:01] |
| mnathani_ | lol brycec | [18:01] |
| brycec | (It's what I do, I solve puzzles) | [18:02] |
| mnathani_ | a simple whois would have revealed that information if you were so inclined | [18:02] |
| brycec | @postal M3A3K7 | [18:02] |
| BryceBot | M3A: North York (York Heights / Victoria Village / Parkway East), Ontario, CA | [18:02] |
| brycec | give or take.
(it was easy since I knew the general city, and Rothman's sign+building is so clearly visible) | [18:03] |
| mercutio | heh when i was a kid i used to love stalking people
i grew up a bit and realised that some people might find it intrusive :) | [18:05] |
| brycec | Sure sure. | [18:06] |
| mercutio | err by stalking i mean finding out their details etc without asking them
even if i could have easily asked them it was more fun to find out by alternate means | [18:06] |
| brycec | I agree, it's borderline-creepy :) But it's just a puzzle for me. | [18:06] |
| mercutio | yeah ditto :) | [18:06] |
| brycec | Right, exactly. | [18:06] |
| mercutio | it went out of fashion
it's back in fashion now with facebook etc though | [18:06] |
| brycec | ha | [18:06] |
| mercutio | like if you have open facebook profile and do a job interview don't be surprised if they check it out | [18:07] |
| brycec | I definitely do a quick, cursory Google looking for other work, red flags or commonalities.
Sadly there's no challenge in finding me, since I have some federal licenses that are publicly searchable and required to have my address | [18:07] |
| mercutio | yeh apparently it's really common with low paying jobs now
they check peoples facebook profiles to see if they are disreputable. (higher turnover etc, more difficult employees etc i suppose) | [18:12] |
| staticsafe | hello | [18:13] |
| mercutio | hi static | [18:14] |
| staticsafe | sup | [18:15] |
| mercutio | nm | [18:16] |
| staticsafe | exercising the power of my new GPU | [18:17] |
| mnathani_ | I doubt IRC is very taxing staticsafe | [18:17] |
| staticsafe | heh | [18:18] |
| mercutio | heh
i've hardly tested my new gpu | [18:18] |
| brycec | mnathani_: Clearly you've never run retroterm | [18:18] |
| mercutio | i got one a while back | [18:18] |
| staticsafe | but seriously 6GB of VRAM
staticsafe drools | [18:19] |
| mercutio | i have 4gb vram | [18:19] |
| brycec | hawt | [18:19] |
| BryceBot | That's what she said!! | [18:19] |
| brycec | I have 2GB :/ | [18:19] |
| mercutio | i played tomb raider
got bored of it quickly | [18:19] |
| staticsafe | https://www.dropbox.com/s/uferyoyydo9d4fu/2015-07-08%2013.40.52.jpg?dl=0 | [18:19] |
| mercutio | but it looked pretty, i was blown away | [18:19] |
| BryceBot | Dropbox photo: "https://www.dropbox.com/s/uferyoyydo9d4fu/2015-07-08%2013.40.52.jpg?dl=0" | [18:19] |
| mercutio | i didn't have any recent games. i mostly play dota :/
i have no disk space for games atm :( getting a new ssd does that work in linux? last i knew nvidia sucked with linux :( | [18:19] |
| staticsafe | nvidia is great on linux | [18:21] |
| mercutio | like it can't boost the clock rates etc. | [18:21] |
| staticsafe | well | [18:21] |
| mercutio | no fan control
oh i only want to use open source drivers heh my linux box has radeon 7750 which is sort of ok it was the best fanless card could get there may be a better one now though and on windows 980 can ramp the fan down at low load? | [18:21] |
| staticsafe | yeah thats a common feature | [18:22] |
| mercutio | i mean off heh
yeh my r9 290 is pretty quiet at low load actually it's pretty quiet all the time really surprising given how power hungry it is | [18:22] |
| staticsafe | hrm GPU-Z can't read the sensors on this thing for fan speed | [18:23] |
| mercutio | my fan speed is 20%
but gpu is only 36c i wish it could spin slower :/ | [18:23] |
| staticsafe | 57 C | [18:24] |
| mercutio | that'll be fanless then
it probably isn't doing the fan at all atm | [18:24] |
| staticsafe | yeah hold on lemme increase the load | [18:24] |
| mercutio | my core clock / memory clock are going up/down csontstaly
like 20 times/second i wonder if that's good for it :/ | [18:25] |
| staticsafe | mercutio: you were right
that is somewhat impressive | [18:25] |
| mercutio | that's about how hot my 7750 runs
oh it's up to 63c atm linux has weak power gating support i really do thing for most desktop linux users intel hd is the way to go :) so is it good for the video card to constantly bounce between 150 and 1300 mhz for memory speed | [18:26] |
| staticsafe | not sure how that is an issue
its not constantly jumping | [18:29] |
| mercutio | unstable load on power supply
it's constantly jumping for me like more than 10x a second | [18:29] |
| staticsafe | o_O | [18:30] |
| mercutio | and the power demand is jumping too | [18:30] |
| staticsafe | my card is idling at 202.5 Mhz memory clock | [18:30] |
| mercutio | https://weallsee.net/r9-290.png | [18:31] |
| staticsafe | that sounds like a bad driver | [18:34] |
| mercutio | it's normal amd driver :/ | [18:35] |
| staticsafe | mercutio: your load is also spiking it seems | [18:38] |
| mercutio | yeah probably chrome
hah closing chrome fixed the load issue, but it's still bouncing | [18:38] |
| staticsafe | I have GPU acceleration disabled in Chrome and FIrefox because its buggy in both | [18:39] |
| mercutio | weird power draw is more constant now even with memory clock all over the place. | [18:40] |
| ......... (idle for 41mn) | ||
| m0unds | staticsafe: yeah, hw acceleration is horrible in chrome | [19:21] |
| ................... (idle for 1h31mn) | ||
| mercutio | chrome isn't a very good web browser
but none of them are :) | [20:52] |
