brycec: But VNC tunneling (with the right host) works at least.
(Not willing to shutdown/boot for a beta test though :p)
mercutio: brycec: console2 is going to replace console in the end
brycec: I figured.
mercutio: your point being that cons2-cust-arpnet.cust.arpnetworks.com is just a placeholder anyways?
mercutio: yeah
oh it says hostname?
hmm
i'm not sure where it's getting that from.
i thought vnc was plain text
brycec: Establish the tunnel:
mercutio: ahh found it
brycec: ssh -f brycechidester@cons2-cust-arpnet.cust.arpnetworks.com -L 5955:kvr21.arpnetworks.com:5919 -N
mercutio: check again now
thanks bryce :)
brycec: Yeah looks right now
np mercutio
mercutio: Is anyone using ed25519 yet?
I have an ecdsa key normally
For recent stuff
brycec: I use ecdsa because I used to use gnome-keyring for my ssh-agent, but it doesn't yet support ed25519
Happy leap-year-day, btw
mercutio: heh
my old city had an earthquake in the early morning, and people lept out of bed apparently
bringing a whole new meaning to leap day :)

mercutio: oh it's your leap-year-day too now :)
dne_: this post recommends against ecdsa, for various reasons: https://stribika.github.io/2015/01/04/secure-secure-shell.html
i.e. "NIST curves suck" and "uses randomness for each signature"
***: toddf has joined #arpnetworks
ChanServ sets mode: +o toddf
mercutio: is that for key or cipher?
dne_: authentication/key exchange
mercutio: it was quite long :)
dne_: yep
mercutio: i wonder how much stuff supports ed25519 so far

Asked and answered :p
mercutio: i was thinking what linux's support it
and bsd et all
of course openbsd 5.8 does
i was reading something the other day about chrome using it to improve mobile performance
and that it's way faster than aes when you don't have hw acceleration
brycec: Any Linux with OpenSSH >=6.5 :p
mercutio: oh it's in 6.5?
that includes ubuntu trusty even
i wonder about debian
brycec: http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.5 * ssh(1), sshd(8): Add support for Ed25519 as a public key type.
mercutio: and centos
as much as qmail seems painful
i can't get over how smart djb appears to be.
dne_: debian wheezy had 6.0p1, jesie has 6.7p1
jessie
mercutio: even if he did try to force people to install things in weird places :)
up_the_irons: brycec: i liked the banner, but mercutio took it out, blame him ;)
brycec: i'm glad things are working for you so far
-: brycec blames the kiwi

mjp_: wow arnt you worried about applying security updates? :)
up_the_irons: that's why i say it's time to upgrade
mercutio: you don't want to shoot for 10 years? :)

brycec: What a momentus Saturday that was :p
mercutio: hmm that means it rebooted early in the morning
i mean not in the middle of the night
brycec: About 5am LAX time by my math
mercutio: oh
hangon how do you get that
oh right
brycec: mercutio: with my brain? :P
mercutio: he said the uptime hours agao :)
brycec: yeah, ~3 hours ago, so the reboot was about 15.5 before now, or 20.75-15.5
