***: milki has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) brycec: Well I guess I can guess which host zeit.arpnetworks is on :p mercutio: haha
it'll be back soon
are you on the notification list for that kvr? brycec: mercutio: I have my own monitoring mercutio: i mean for prewarning brycec: that alerted me to it being down mercutio: hopefully it wasn't too intrusive brycec: mercutio: Oh, no but I saw the tweet mercutio: it should be back in about 10 minutes brycec: Cool good to know
And there it's pinging again mercutio: i underestimated :) brycec: It's back up, cool mercutio: yip it's all done now :)
hmm that was under the minimum estimated downtime. brycec: Better shut the host down to make up the rest of the time
Wouldn't want people getting any ideas mercutio: heh
i dunno i think most people have expectations of 0 downtime now
actually most is probably not the word :) ***: milki has joined #arpnetworks mnathani_: anyone experience not being able to click the start button while connected to a windows 10 box via RDP? brycec: Hm, nope (not that I [almost] ever *click* it, there's a key for that :p) mnathani_: neither click nor using the key worked for me
something to do with the RDP session RandalSchwartz: anyone here with experience with icecast? ***: jbum has joined #arpnetworks
jbum has quit IRC (Quit: jbum)
nclee has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) brycec: Long time ago mercutio: maybe explorer locked up mnathani_ ?
i've seen a few weird situations with windows 10 and explorer. brycec: That would be odd because I was 95% certain the start menu is controlled by dwm.exe mercutio: well explorer issues can cause the whole start bar at the bottom of the screen to run into issues
hmm now i'm not sure if that's called start bar or there's some name that includes system tray start bar, quick launch, and the running applications.
dwm is the "window manager" apparently ***: nclee has joined #arpnetworks brycec: Might even say the "desktop window manager" ;) mike-burns: Da Window Managa RandalSchwartz: I'm looking for icecast running at arp to which I can connect my DJ software running on my laptop
that way the stream will have a public address. brycec: RandalSchwartz: http://www.caster.fm/ offers a free plan
(literally just the first google result for me; no affiliation or experience) RandalSchwartz: "no direct stream URL"
so that won't work brycec: Ah only their Pro plan offers that mercutio: i'd suggest just trying to do it and see how it goes
easy enough to test brycec: Just remember passwords and other such access control ;) mercutio: bryce: there used to be tv and radio analogue receivers that you could just send a signal to and they'd bounce it out further
with no security :)
as much as security is nice the idea of free speech is kind of nice too :) brycec: mercutio: free speech is swell until it's consuming your entire bandwidth quota
(I'm mainly concerned about nefarious people streaming their own crap) mercutio: yeh the internet is probably more dangerous :) ***: mkb has joined #arpnetworks
kellytk has joined #arpnetworks kellytk: I'm attempting to connect to the VM Management Server for my VPS but I'm having trouble with the keypair I use. Is ed25519 supported? mercutio: it may not be kellytk: It wasn't covered in the KB article mercutio: well ed25519 is quite new brycec: I can confirm that neither ecdsa nor ed25519 work
Which is NO surprise at all given: OpenBSD 4.5 (GENERIC) #2052: Sat Feb 28 14:55:24 MST 2009
Come on up_the_irons, that's like 8 years old
Oh only 7
At least rsa still works... kellytk: :-( mercutio: nearly 7 brycec: All the same, there are children on the Internet younger than that box mercutio: there are two years on the internet
err two year olds brycec: mercutio: 7 -4 days kellytk: That won't turn out well brycec: @date Feb 28 14:55:24 MST 2009 BryceBot: 6 years, 51 weeks, 5 days, 4 hours, 3 minutes, 12 seconds ago. [Interpreted date: Sat, 28 Feb 2009 13:55:24 -0800] mercutio: heh brycec: Not even 4 days, just ~2 days shy of 7 years :P mercutio: heh
ecdsa would be nice
i haven't actually used ed25519 brycec: I realize up_the_irons doesn't like rocking the boat, but it's just a "serial server"... how much can break from an upgrade? mercutio: serial can break BryceBot: That's what she said!! mercutio: :) brycec: I'd use ed25519 if more key managers/agents supported it. (gnome-keyring, PuTTY, etc)
mercutio: I thought that box just "telnetted" to the various hosts, no actual serial involved? mercutio: it's still a serial console :/
however it works
like ipmi serial involves no serial either brycec: Except that it's vulnerable, I assume. mercutio: i just bought a null modem cable
how new age :) -: brycec has oodles of null modem cables, and even a couple straight serial cables mercutio: i had some stuff like that in my garage
but my garage was dangerous
there were two garages, one caved in the other was just unsafe
(from earthquake) brycec: You make NZ sound awful, like California :p mercutio: heh
it's similar to california in that it gets shallow earthquakes
with high momentum but low magnitude kellytk: What RSA key size would provide comparable security to ed25519? up_the_irons: "there are children on the Internet younger than that box" LOL brycec ***: kellytk has left up_the_irons: brycec: from my understanding, we'd have to go through every single OpenBSD version from 4.5 to now, in order to upgrade. The effort / reward just isn't there. Not many people are asking for new key support.
but it's definitely a nice-to-have brycec: Well you're *supposed* to go through every release for upgrades. If you're feeling lucky, you can definitely make the leap, but expect some changes from 5.5 to temporarily break logins.
(Or just do a new install because, in theory, all your personal stuff can be boiled into $HOME, pkg_add $(pkg_info), and siteXX.tgz :P) up_the_irons: yeah i think it would be far better to start from scratch mkb: wasn't time_t around that time?
certainly between 4.5 and now
oh "some changes from 5.5" brycec: time_t was 5.5 as I recall
which is what I was alluding to with "expect some changes from 5.5 to temporarily break logins."
(Having upgraded a system straight from 4.9 to 5.8) mercutio: bryce likes living on the edge
but yeah that and one other update were annoying iirc
i accidentally upgraded from 32bit to 64bit once brycec: mercutio: I was curious what would happen :p (it was a clone of a production system, so no harm) mercutio: and then i figured i'll just go with it :) brycec: I've unpacked macppc on a sparc64 system. Suffice to say, it didn't come back from reboot.
(The dangers of doing headless upgrades) mercutio: haha shit brycec: (and not paying attention) mercutio: i actually haven't had many issues with headless upgrades
there's a kind of apprehension about it though brycec: Me either, happy to say. Except for PEBKAC above. mercutio: i used to boot openbsd from floppy
and do network installs
which was good on older gear

mnathani_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) up_the_irons: Anyone work with commercial grade WiFi products? Like, you provide wireless mesh networking to a city or simply small neighborhood mkb: yes I often exchange packets with such devices :) up_the_irons: noooo ;) mercutio: up_the_irons: are you going to provide city wifi? :) up_the_irons: mercutio: perhaps and office building or two, if the numbers work. We've been approached about this several times. mercutio: Are there antennas everywhere there ? up_the_irons: mercutio: i haven't visited the site yet (going next week), but I don't believe there are antennas brycec: Relevant: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/11/how-a-group-of-neighbors-created-their-own-internet-service/ BryceBot: Ars Technica: "How a group of neighbors created their own Internet service" brycec: (May have some useful details, useful contacts, etc) ***: mnathani2_ is now known as mnathani_ mercutio: that to my mind seemed overdesigned
come on, using a drone to find good wireless vantage points :)
