00:01 < Evilpig_> aestetix: I can say with near 100% certainty he definitely hasn't sent hogan any penis
00:01 <@Dagmar> Fucking annoying
00:02 <@Dagmar> Some fucking amateurs tried to spearfish me on the 2nd
00:03 <@Dagmar> If someone wants to see me go full-on psycho, specifically targeting me with malware is a good way to do it
00:03 <@Dagmar> What's making me angry is that generally after a few days I can just run the damn thing past online checkers and they'll flag it
00:03 < Evilpig_> any idea where it came from?  
00:03 <@Dagmar> This one isn't turning up hits

00:04 <@aestetix> just keeps getting better and better
00:04 <@Dagmar> "mosesjohnson76@libero.it".  Which is a mallbox that is now disabled.
00:04 < Evilpig_> Dagmar: lock it up tight and send it over to shelton to breakdown
00:05 <@Dagmar> Now *there* is an idea
00:05 < Evilpig_> They're also working on a repository of such files out at ORNL
00:10 <@Dagmar> I am highly doubtful that this was some "innocent" spam attempt
00:15 <@aestetix> fuck
00:15 <@aestetix> Eminem is 40
00:18 <@Dagmar> Yes, that tends to happen when you avoid heroin.
00:23 < Evilpig_> Dagmar: what are 417,418,419?  http://media-mcw.cursecdn.com/8/8c/DataValuesBeta.png
00:39 <@Dagmar> Oh!  Horse livery
00:39 <@Dagmar> THere have been a LOT of changes
00:41 <@Dagmar> THere are even new types of fish
00:47 < Evilpig_> I need to muck with the art for PN tonight a little then I figured I might look at that
00:56 <@Dagmar> By the way... Mossy cobblestone is a natural spawn now
00:56 < Evilpig_> that's good.  I remember back whenthey talked about making it spread to adjacent stone
00:57 <@Dagmar> Yeah now you'll just find it in some of the Taiga biomes, like you'd see if you came across a moss-covered boulder in the woods

01:09 <@Bahhumbug> It's actually not that bad.
01:09 <@Bahhumbug> I quite enjoyed the one I had a few weeks ago.
01:10 < RangerZ1> HA 350$ to buy all the star trek DS9 episodes from amazon
01:11 < Evilpig_> good lord.  I have all of TNG
01:11 < Evilpig_> I really don't want to think about what I paid for them either
01:11 < RangerZ1> that is for DIGITAL
01:11 < Evilpig_> bought them right as they came out one season at a time
01:12 < RangerZ1> and they just came out on digitally remastered blu ray
01:12 < RangerZ1> TNG that is
01:12 < Evilpig_> yeah I remember seeing that
01:12 < RangerZ1> seeing the "rocks" bend, and the "metal bulk heads" bend
01:12 < RangerZ1> is amusing
01:13 < RangerZ1> from early season 1, hehe
01:13 < Evilpig_> are all the TNG out on bluray in the remastered version yet?  I am only seeing torrents up through s4
01:14 < RangerZ1> thats it
01:14 < RangerZ1> they are spacing them out
01:14 < RangerZ1> so people don't realize how much they are
01:14 < RangerZ1> LOL
01:14 < Evilpig_> of course.
01:15 < Evilpig_> jesus christ... STNG - S1 - Bluray 1080p 124GB
01:15 < RangerZ1> i'm going through ep by ep from the start
01:16 < RangerZ1> at that point, I'd rather just buy a HDD, and ship it to them, and have them sneakernet it back to me
01:16 < Evilpig_> what are you seriously getting at that point?  just seems like a waste of disk space to me
01:18 < RangerZ1> its just people using flac and other shit like that or just 'raw'
01:18 < RangerZ1> Evilpig_: did you back star citizen?
01:18 < Evilpig_> nope
01:18 < RangerZ1> the hangar module came out, you can see your ship
01:19 < RangerZ1> ahh, well then nvm
05:28 <@Shadow404> whats up slackers
06:12  * Evilpig_ punches Shadow404 in the cunt
06:19 < Evilpig_> well that wasn't too painful.  got my hosting server updated and mostly sorted out in about 4 hours from install to production
06:35 <@Dagmar> ploooool
06:35 <@Dagmar>  "We do not condone or support Canonical in the course of action they have chosen, and will not carry XMir patches upstream."
06:39 < Evilpig_> doh! missed the config for BackupPC.  kinda need that one.  guess I better boot the other back up and transfer it

10:44 <@Catonic> word
10:50 <@Catonic> wow.
10:50 <@Catonic> just caught the backscroll
10:51 <@Catonic> Dagmar: I have a little voice recorder; I bought it because when open-carrying a pistol, you may find that you know the law better than the LEO you're working with... and the best way to secure a 42 USC 1983 lawsuit is with proof that rights were violated.
10:52 <@Catonic> voice recorder > phone recorder. Make sure it's "mac compatible". That was the difference in mine between being a mountable USB drive on Mac OSX or useless... but it still wants you to install the software on the PC... at least the software can be set to auto-download on connection.
11:31 <@Catonic> looks like renice --10 kcryptd, kcryptd_io, md?_raid and renice --1 kvm makes the machine sane
11:32 <@Catonic> iowait get up there, but bits move, as long as bits are moving.
11:32 <@Catonic> 2x 1.86 GHz cores ain't helping.
12:19 <@Catonic> looks like the mistake/problem is deleting the files one by one -- as samba must be doing -- versus rm -rf /path/to/directory
12:20 <@Catonic> take out the directory, instaspace.
12:20 <@Catonic> rm -rf /path/to/files/* slow
12:22 <@Catonic> lol... 68GB free, 184GB burned.. of course, because 100GB of new is in the bag.

16:22 <@Shadow404> waz up you wacky crackers
16:24 <@Dagmar> For FUCK'S SAKE
16:24 <@Dagmar> I cannot believe this jackassery
16:25 <@Dagmar> This motherfucker has apache config files rsynching between nodes
16:25 <@Shadow404> seems safe enough.....heh
16:25 <@Dagmar> Hell no
16:25 <@Shadow404> especially if it was a guest account
16:25 <@Shadow404> with a simple or no password
16:25 <@Shadow404> not like anyone will sniff the traffic
16:25 <@Dagmar> Man the fucking day he's gone I'm spending the entire day cleaning this shit up
16:26 <@Bahhumbug> Dagmar: Do you guys use a config management platform (puppet/chef/ansible/whatever)?
16:26 <@Dagmar> We're always tunneling that over ssh, or he'd goddamn well better be
16:26 <@Dagmar> Bahhumbug: I'd like to, but when the fuck am I going to get the time to do it?
16:26 <@Bahhumbug> There is that, yes.
16:26 <@Shadow404> tunneling is to complicated
16:26 <@Bahhumbug> too
16:26 <@Shadow404> straight rsync is easier
16:26 <@Bahhumbug> :)
16:27 <@Dagmar> I'm just pissed that this mechanism leaves the secondary node in a state where it's configuration file has been changed, but that the changes will not be put into effect.
16:27 <@Bahhumbug> Testing?  What's testing?
16:27 <@Dagmar> Functionally, this breaks one of The Rules about "no landmine configurations"
16:28 < ragechin> Dagmar: becuase chef is too hard to do ?

17:29 <@Dagmar> Someone in directory services has requested we power off one of their auth servers on Thursday.
17:29 <@Dagmar> He claims all DNS and host records have been changed to the new server.
17:29 <@Dagmar> This sort of left me with no way to find it.
17:30 <@Dagmar> Where did I finally find the IP address?  In the /etc/hosts file of the other auth server.

18:40 <@aestetix> they are coming out at a very fast rate

19:33 <@Catonic> also, as PIC, you can be armed
19:33 <@Catonic> also, as GA, you're rarely searched.
19:33 <@Catonic> also, the search is a violation of your 4th amendment rights.
19:34 <@Shadow404> well, yeah
19:34 <@Shadow404> federal property
19:34 <@Shadow404> gonna get taken and given 3 options
19:34 <@Catonic> which means the 2nd applies doubly
19:34 <@Shadow404> 1. forfiet knife, 2. ship back, 3. argue and miss flight
19:34 <@Catonic> 3 is the only certainty
19:35 <@Catonic> if you resist an unlawful search, the government will make you miss your plane. period.
19:36 <@Catonic> Shadow404: so you're telling me that the only thing you can throw overboard, from a plane, is jet fuel, water, deicer, treated fecal matter and urine?
19:37 <@Shadow404> exactly
19:37 <@Catonic> PLEASE tell me you're not allowed to throw water from a plane. PLEASE.
19:37 <@Shadow404> everythig else is illegal or etc
19:37 <@Shadow404> Catonic: since water can be used for ballast still allowed
19:37 <@Catonic> so you can't throw CO2 and H2O from a plane?
19:37 <@Shadow404> aka, in a 150, you can actually carry ballast to offset cg for lighteer/heavier loads
19:38 <@Shadow404> 172 is the next weight class up
19:38 <@Catonic> ... so you can throw ballast overboard?
19:38 <@Shadow404> unless your super fat, water ballast is null
19:38 <@Shadow404> er, not throw
19:38 <@Catonic> apt-get install ferry tank
19:38 <@Shadow404> the term they use is empty

19:39 <@Shadow404> lawl
19:39 <@Shadow404> good man Evilpig_
19:39 <@Catonic> I object. The laws are not properly written. The engine expels CO2 and H2O as a normal process of operation, as well as various combinations of N2O, NO2, CO, and other combinations.

21:48 < northrup> and no amount of "please, for the love of all things, let me speak to an engineer" actually get's me there.
21:48 < northrup> The worst part about this for me, don't know if it's the same for you Dagmar, is that I don't have any other options.

22:41 < northrup> Evilpig_: I think that's what's going to happen tomorrow at 1:00 pm ... those Jackasses aren't leaving until I have satisfaction.
22:42 < northrup> They really started to hate me when I setup SmokePing on my lineode box to ping the Comcast gateway and my local modem...
22:42 < northrup> and then started conversations with them to the tone of "don't bullshit me that it's just MY connection, the upstream convergence point is unavailable as well"
22:43 < Evilpig_> he was told straight up when he came in he wasn't leaving til it was fixed.
22:43 < Evilpig_> the tech before him was convinced I had a short in the cable line where one of the cats had clawed it or bit it or something
22:44 < northrup> The previous tech that was out two weeks ago was convinced that I had "something backfeeding" into it...
22:44 < Evilpig_> he felt even worse when he left.  he was dumb enough to leave the "faulty" section of cable where I could get it at before he left
22:44 < northrup> until I showed him my backer board in my basement with all my cable management and splits... and said "please, be my guest, show me where in my plant I'm backfeeding or inroducing noise"
22:44 < Evilpig_> northrup: I've actually had that.  my reciever was feeding noise into the line at one point, but not enough to cause the trouble.  that cable tech actually knew his shit and was as surprised as I was
22:45 < Evilpig_> it went from the reciever via the cablebox and the rca hookups
22:46 < northrup> Evilpig_: I've had stuff generate backfeed, ungrounded planes, poor implimentations of signal flow, but sadly I am sure this isn't the case... as bore out by my very expensive Fluke that I have borrowed from the office.
22:46 < Evilpig_> or maybe it was tv -> reciever -> cablebox -> out.  it was odd.  it was a different input that wasn't in use at the time or something but it was still bleeding.  it was bizare
22:47 < northrup> getting Comcast to admit that they need to do something outside of the scope of "replace the modem" or "check the lines to your house" is proving to be next to impossible....
22:47 < northrup> because it couldn't POSSIBLY be their fault.
22:54 <@Mirage> northrup: try working with AT&T 'top tier' U-Verse support sometime.
22:54 < northrup> Mirage: ((shudder)) I don't even think I want to think about it...
22:54 <@Mirage> Made me wish for Maverick or Polerin
22:55 < northrup> although... there is a part of me that entertains the idea if for only the concept that I'd have a CHOICE besides Comcast.
22:55 < northrup> in some senses, a shit choice is better than no choice.
22:55 < Evilpig_> Mirage: did you see me ranting about a month ago about comcast using a /30 for a static ip so you can't get a modem/router other than theirs instead of them just using a regular static IP
22:56 <@Mirage> northrup: "I'm trying to send mail out from my mail server on my linux host and it appears that SMTP outbound is being blocked.  Could you unblock my static IPs please?"
22:56 <@Mirage> ATT: What client are you using?  Outlook?
22:56 <@Mirage> Fucking morons..
22:57 <@Mirage> I told him Sendmail and I think his head about half explooded
22:58 < northrup> My last experience with anything close to AT&T was BelSouth in 2002 when I lived in town and could get DSL
22:58 <@Mirage> I then asked to be escalated and was told he was the top level support.
22:58 < Evilpig_> Mirage: that's the point when you start mocking them and call him on his bullshit
22:58 < northrup> the tech showed up and said "I need to put this disk in, click start, and run a program"
22:58 <@Mirage> Then he proceeded to ask me who I had my 'static IPs' issued by.
22:58 < northrup> his head about exploded too when I told him there was no "Start" button...
22:59 <@Mirage> northrup: I always give them a linux or *BSD host for that.
23:01 <@Mirage> In case anyone here cares..U-Verse's lovely (read absolute shit) hardware is configured to only associate a given MAC with the last IP it saw traffic from...so no aliases allowed on linux/BSD hosts.  Really screws up my hosting.
23:01 < Evilpig_> holy shit.  are you kidding?
23:02 < northrup> Mirage: whoa, that would break my ASA the arps for additional addresses
23:02 <@Mirage> nope
23:02 < northrup> Mirage: that's.... how is that a service?
23:02 <@Mirage> it broke the fuxk out of my OpenBSD firewall handling virtual IPs for my DMZ vlan...and my server being able to run multiple HTTPS stites
23:03 < Evilpig_> Mirage: can you spoof the mac's on those?
23:03 <@Dagmar> Umm... Woudn't you normally need multiple IP addresses for that?
23:03 < Evilpig_> Dagmar: he did
23:03 < Evilpig_> see the statement about uverse
23:03 <@Dagmar> ...and their shit can't hanld the same MAC having more than one IP bound to it?
23:03 < Evilpig_> correct
23:04 <@Mirage> Evilpig_: I haven't gotten around to playing with bridging.  I tried MAC spoofing, but that just pissed off OpenBSD
23:04 <@Dagmar> That sounds like they just issued the wrong equipment entirely.
23:04 <@Dagmar> You should be able to publish extra MAC addresses, but it shoudlnt' be a _requirement_
23:04 <@Dagmar> That's retarded
23:05 <@Mirage> Dagmar: Oh, and they have a lovely feature called 'Cascade router' that I looked into which is simply setting up a NAT dece behind the 'U-Verse Gateway'...
23:05 <@Dagmar> That won't get around the one-IP-per-MAC problem
23:05 <@Mirage> They need to figure out that a wireless gateway, etc doing NAT is _NOT_ a fucking router
23:07 <@Mirage> Dagmar: Recofiguring for bridging on the firewall may be a workaround.  It should pass the client machine MAC that way
23:07 <@Dagmar> Yes, but I think you should probably just try publishing static ARP entries first
23:07 <@Mirage> For now I just took down my High School Reunion SSL site
23:08 <@Dagmar> Mirage: Did you happen to hear what Jeff pulled?
23:08 < northrup> the logic on one-mac per IP address is just stupid
23:08 <@Mirage> The Uverse equipment is pretty gimped.
23:08 <@Mirage> What's Jeff do?
23:08 <@Dagmar> Mirage: Sublett.
23:08 <@Mirage> northrup: to anyone with a clue, yes
23:08 <@Mirage> Dagmar: I figured..What'd he do?
23:09 <@Dagmar> Mirage: So they've been upgrading bu02 all week, he and Sean.  Apparently at some point they upgraded the UEFI on the box, and probably never bothered to do a reboot test.
23:09 <@Dagmar> Mirage: Around 11:45pm Friday night, he decided to reboot it.  It didn't come back up.
23:10 <@Dagmar> Mirage: Apparently it's getting stuck in UEFI-land because fo the state of the fiber connections, failing to boot, restarting itself, after three passes it goes into setup.
23:10 <@Mirage> Not the first time..though before it was the EMC powerMT crap
23:10 < northrup> Hehh.... heh... heh.....
23:11 <@Dagmar> Mirage: I managed to dig the IMM connection details for the machine it _used_ to be, get at that, and after poking at it for about two hours (with Wilbur involved) we got it booted back up, only because Wilbur had the fiber disconnected to label it properly
23:11 < northrup> I know it's not any comfort, but I could tell you some horror stories about Jeff.  Sounds like he's come a *little* farther in his tech.
23:11 < northrup> LOL
23:11 <@Dagmar> So... At like 2am, I'm on the phone with the fucker, and he is asking me if I can see the tape devices.  I can see five tape devices, but have no idea what they are.  Apaprently they're not the i2k.
23:12 <@Dagmar> He then tells me he wants me to fix it for him.
23:12 <@Dagmar> At 2am.
23:12 <@Mirage> Dagmar: I finally have my first day at my new job tomorrow.  VCE in Richardson, TX.  It a conglomeration between VMWare/Cisco/EMC.
23:12 <@Dagmar> Never having seen a lick of documentation about the whopping great tape robot.
23:12 < Evilpig_> Mirage: I fly to NYC tomorrow for my interview tuesday. ;)
23:12 < northrup> Mirage: VMware on Cisco UCS backed by EMC VNX?
23:12 <@Mirage> Dagmar: Was suppose to start last week, but EMC apparently was having issues verifying from Vandy that I worked there.
23:13 <@Dagmar> Mirage: He tells me that you used to do it for him
23:13 <@Mirage> northrup: look up VCE VBlock
23:13 <@Mirage> Evilpig_: NYC...ewwwwwww
23:13 <@Dagmar> I was like "Well, Troy's not with us anymore and 2am on a Friday night is the wrong time to expect me to pull a Google miracle out of my ass."
23:13 <@Dagmar> Tomorrow morning's going to be a hoot
23:14 <@Mirage> Dagmar: I did a lot of stuff for a lot of people at all kinds of odd hours.
23:14 <@Dagmar> I'm not fixing shit I've never seen before and have never been given any documentation about in the middle of the goddamn night on the weekend
23:14 <@Mirage> Dagmar: John Vallette called me last week to let me know that he'd heard I left and to wish me all the best.
23:14 <@Dagmar> I might could have managed it if I was willing to be up until 6am working on it.
23:14 <@Dagmar> But fuck them.
23:15 < northrup> How Jeff still has a job there is beyond me..
23:15 <@Dagmar> Mirage: I just recently foudn out Wilbur actually applied for your position, and hasn't heard anything
23:15 <@Dagmar> Mirage: so I've been killing myself all month while they just sit on their asses
23:15 <@Mirage> Dagmar: And that suprises any of us how?  I'm sure Peter is cock-blocking it again.
23:15 < northrup> I thought he should have been let go when I worked there, and that was in the early 2000s
23:16 <@Dagmar> Someone may get to find out what I really think about all this tomorrow.
23:16 < Evilpig_> I've specifically asked Peter too.
23:16 <@Dagmar> Mirage: If I hear from Steve that they're blocking my ability to transfer out, I'm going to bring a whole lot of things to a head.
23:16 <@Dagmar> I can guarantee you that in two weeks' time there's going to be multiple departments howling for blood.
23:17 <@Dagmar> No more rule bending.  Extra change management paperwork for EVERYONE!
23:17 < northrup> Mirage: VCE looks interesting! best of luck on your adventure.
23:17 <@Mirage> northrup: yeah, 6-month contract to hire gig.  I'm hoping they like the fact that I put in tons of hours and put up w/ lots of BS
23:17 <@Dagmar> 'cuz tomorrow they're going to act like asses, and Scott's going to make a frowny face, and I'm going to start putting every goddamn thing not explicitly listed in the change site through full Change Management.
23:18 <@Dagmar> They're going to have to have a full two-hour meeting just to approve my requests.
23:18 <@Dagmar> Want an IP address changed?  Submit a magic ticket and it's going through change management.
23:19 <@Dagmar> "Sorry we don't have a PASC for that."
23:22 < Evilpig_> http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/xbc/cog/x3550m3_7944/x3550m3_7944aag.html
23:22 < Evilpig_> why is a -ac1 not listed?
23:23 < Evilpig_> I have this cisco appliance that is a rebranded ibm 7944-ac1
23:23 <@Mirage> Dagmar: on a sep note..Sprint down here sux.  Can hardly keep network connection in order to play Ingress anywhere.
23:23 < Evilpig_> Mirage: that isn't just there
23:24 <@Dagmar> wOuch
23:24 <@Mirage> Dagmar: I swear I'm about to go down to Sprint and find out how much I have to pay to get out of my contract and then got to verizon or TMobile
23:24 <@Dagmar> Hilariosuly they can tell you that online
23:25 <@Mirage> I finally discovered this eve that I have good coverage in the downtown McKinney, TX area where there's ~40 portals..so I spent a couple hours terrorizing the place
23:27 <@Mirage> ok..I'm going to head to bed.  Wouldn't do to oversleep and be late on my first day.
23:27 < Evilpig_> later
23:31 <@Catonic> Oh, I love cable companies
23:32 <@Catonic> "Hey, I've got a problem with my internets. You might want to send a headend tech out. With a mess of terminators. I know what a spectrum analyzer is, I have one of my own."
23:32 <@Catonic> then again, sounds like your problem is beyond the CMTS...
23:32 <@Catonic> but a CMTS is a router in and of itself
23:33 <@Catonic> around 2001, when I last saw one, up close and personal, it was a 7206 VXR with five F connectors on it
23:33 <@Catonic> one was transmit, the other four were for RX, from different legs of the hybrid-fiber-coax network
23:34 <@Catonic> I take that back, I think they were all different legs of the HFC system
23:34 <@Catonic> Mirage: you left BNA?
23:35 < Evilpig_> Catonic: he's a texan now
23:35 < Evilpig_> He's just one small step from becoming a mexican
23:35 < Evilpig_> I should photoshop that for fun.
23:36 <@Catonic> Dagmar: CM is CYA
23:36 <@Catonic> CYA religiously
23:37 <@Catonic> when the stupid gets out, I get literal
23:38 <@Catonic> "Please allow blank to blankity-blank." "Done."
23:38 <@Catonic> "Why has not works?" "Oh, well, you never requested to be added to the group to assume that account. The account is there, and it's allowed to blankety."
23:39 <@Catonic> or ... my personal favorite... "Please submit a ticket for access"... user submits ticket.... "Please have someone other than yourself submit a ticket provisioning your access."
23:40 < northrup> Haha, that's my favorite one... "No, somebody else"
23:40 <@Catonic> I did a dig one day, discovered that we were adding an account for a person... they'd been there for eight months, no one ever filed an initial access ticket.
23:56 <@Dagmar> Catonic: CM is not CYA when it's things any minimally competent administrator should be able to perfom without fail, thosands of times
23:56 <@Dagmar> Then CM is wasted fucking time
23:56 <@Dagmar> '...and the reason so many places get CM entirely wrong and it hampers their productivity
23:57 <@Dagmar> Things like, provisioning and deprovisioning user accounts (not role accounts)
23:59 <@Dagmar> Im' a bad person.
23:59 <@Dagmar> heheh
