| 00:15 | <HoopyCat> | Hawson: yum repos, not that i know of anywhere... as for NTP, i don't think linsides is yet in atlanta. (but NTP is non-intensive enough that ntpd pointing at 0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org, and 2.pool.ntp.org should be fine, and it'll get you pretty close stuff) |

| 00:16 | * | Hawson nods |
| 00:16 | <Hawson> | already using several pool addresses |
| 00:16 | <Hawson> | an internal yum repo would be nice though. :) |
| 00:17 | <HoopyCat> | dunno if there's something like apt-cacher-ng for yum |
| 00:17 | <Hawson> | there are modules for yum to do some cool xdelta stuff (or something similar |
| 00:17 | <HoopyCat> | i do, however, know i have a bed upstairs. g'nite! |
| 00:17 | <Hawson> | 'night |
| 00:17 | <Hawson> | thanks |
| 00:18 | <tjfontaine> | xdelta is pretty sweet, if it weren't for that whole memory thing |
| 00:20 | <tjfontaine> | but if yum needs xdelta though to get decent sized and compressed diffs, it has serious issues |
| 00:20 | <Hawson> | rpms are, generally, bziped internally |
| 00:20 | <Hawson> | or gzipped |
| 00:20 | <Hawson> | I don't recally |
| 00:20 | <tjfontaine> | both work |
| 00:20 | <Hawson> | there's something done to squish them down |
| 00:21 | <tjfontaine> | xdelta is applied to yum database or the rpms? I can't imagine there's much to be deduplicated across the rpms |

| 00:53 | <davidwhite> | I had to wipe the system and start over. My 2nd attempt to create a separate partition for /var and /mnt is underway. I went through and have the disk configured, and then rebooted into single-user mode, and through Lish I moved all of the contents of /var into /var-temp, then mounted 2nd partition onto /var, and moved everything in /var-temp into /var, and then I edited /etc/fstab |
| 00:54 | <davidwhite> | Then I tried rebooting into normal mode.... the system is failing to boot, and is dropping me into a shell. |
| 00:54 | <davidwhite> | Output of fstab coming shortly |
| 00:55 | <davidwhite> | http://pastebin.com/hmPAcYZm |
| 00:56 | <davidwhite> | The system is saying that I have to repair the partitions |
| 00:57 | <chesty> | why /dev/svdb? |
| 00:57 | <davidwhite> | that's a typo. good catch |
| 00:58 | <davidwhite> | I'll reboot into single-user mode, and fix it, and see what happens |

| 01:02 | <davidwhite> | ugh.... it's not letting me - keeps dropping me into the recovery shell. This is where the Recovery - Finnix iso comes in handy, correct? |
| 01:02 | <davidwhite> | (mount it onto /dev/xvde?) |
| 01:06 | <davidwhite> | hmm.... that's not working either. I'll just rebuild the system again, I guess - I haven't done anything to it yet |
| 01:06 | -!- | anticide [~textual@46.138.166.118] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] |
| 01:06 | <@heckman> | Why not deploy the distro, create your separate disk images, boot to Finnix to copy the files over to the new disk images and edit /etc/fstab |
| 01:07 | <@heckman> | I *think* that will work |
| 01:07 | <davidwhite> | that's basically what I was doing with the single-user boot, but I made a typo which I think caused it all to go haywire |
| 01:08 | <@heckman> | I would have just done it all in Finnix. |
| 01:08 | * | heckman shrugs |
| 01:08 | <@heckman> | I guess single user would do the needful as well. |

| 01:26 | <@heckman> | davidwhite: I guess so. Also, I believe most modern Linux distros use "/media" for mounting devices, not "/mnt". Why are you separating that to its own disk image? Nothing is really stored there. |
| 01:27 | <davidwhite> | I use that for local system backup purposes |

| 03:04 | <navi> | heckman: We can give you the day shift. So called, because it's a whole day. 24 hrs straight. |
| 03:04 | <@heckman> | KyleXY: Same. But seeing the girlfriend is difficult. |

| 03:08 | <KyleXY> | Errrr, you still haven't told us exactly what is Segfaulting |
| 03:08 | <navi> | Are those the wrong accents? I think they are |
| 03:08 | <Dharmesh> | heckman:When we try to upload jpeg image it does not work with imagecreatefromjpeg() GD library function and display "Page cannot be displayed" error on browser. |
| 03:08 | <KyleXY> | MySQL, PHP, Your Webserver? |
| 03:08 | <navi> | I know it has a lot, but not which |
| 03:09 | <Dharmesh> | yes |
| 03:09 | <pharaun> | navi: :D i never bother with accents |
| 03:09 | <Dharmesh> | heckman:I checked with error log and found there one notice "[notice] child pid 15004 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)". |
| 03:09 | <@heckman> | Dharmesh: Are you sure the correct libraries/matching versions are installed? I'm not too familiar with PHP. |
| 03:09 | <pparadis> | may need to install php5-gd |
| 03:09 | <pparadis> | or the equivalent for your distro |
| 03:09 | <Dharmesh> | yes GD is installed |
| 03:10 | <navi> | heckman: Regardless, it shouldn't SEGFAULT because if it? |

| 03:31 | <Dharmesh> | this is the code i have used |
| 03:31 | <newbie> | pparadis: I see you wrote that guide. quickie: when would you use rdiff-backup vs rsync? |
| 03:32 | <pparadis> | different purposes. |
| 03:32 | <pparadis> | rsync provides a mirror, while rdiff-backup provides incremental, differential backups. |
| 03:32 | <pparadis> | it's honestly a great piece of software. |
| 03:32 | <newbie> | pparadis: rsync also increments? |
| 03:32 | <pparadis> | no, rsync provides a mirror. |
| 03:33 | <pparadis> | rsync will copy the changes between two data sets. |
| 03:33 | <navi> | I think there's confusion here about the term 'incremental' |
| 03:33 | <pparadis> | but you cannot use rsync to recover something as it was say 5 days ago. |
| 03:33 | <newbie> | pparadis: sorry..I better get my terminology right. What I mean is yes, rsync mirrors but it can do it incrementally? |
| 03:33 | <Dharmesh> | sam350 : are you there? |
| 03:34 | <pparadis> | newbie: think of it this way. rsync is a mirroring tool. when you run it, it syncs copy A to copy B. |
| 03:34 | <newbie> | yep |
| 03:34 | <pparadis> | rdiff-backup gives you the ability to recover from a previous sync. |
| 03:34 | <newbie> | pparadis: ahh..it versions? |
| 03:34 | <pparadis> | yes. |
| 03:34 | <pparadis> | you can recover as of 5 days ago, 2 weeks ago, etc. |
| 03:34 | <pparadis> | provided you have those copies. |

| 03:35 | <KyleXY> | On another note |
| 03:35 | <KyleXY> | Amazon scares me now :( |
| 03:35 | <pparadis> | KyleXY: as opposed to before? |
| 03:35 | <newbie> | pparadis: hmmm..I probably don't need something quite that sophisticated given I'll be having static files and dated dumps of MySQL on a mirror? |
| 03:36 | <KyleXY> | pparadis: well, I called them up to get a password changed on my account |
| 03:36 | <KyleXY> | told them my email, my name |
| 03:36 | <KyleXY> | my address |

| 03:36 | <KyleXY> | and that the card with a visa gift card |
| 03:36 | <pparadis> | newbie: are you subscribed to the linode backup service? |
| 03:36 | <KyleXY> | and the rep told me "OK!" and changed the password for me : |
| 03:36 | <pparadis> | newbie: http://library.linode.com/linode-platform/backups |
| 03:36 | <newbie> | pparadis: i thought about it but as far as I can tell it is a total system snapshot? |
| 03:36 | <KyleXY> | newbie: correct |
| 03:37 | <KyleXY> | you can't pull certain files |
| 03:37 | <pparadis> | it is indeed, but it's quite fast and doesn't take your linode down. |
| 03:37 | <KyleXY> | you are better off right a script to rsync stuff off probably |
| 03:37 | <pparadis> | KyleXY: i'd honestly say both are an excellent approach. linode backups are great for quick recovery, and they're quite flexible. offsite backups are always recommended as well. |
| 03:37 | <pparadis> | you can never have too many backups. |
| 03:38 | <pparadis> | the thing about the linode backup services is that it's automatic, and doesn't require any configuration. |
| 03:38 | <KyleXY> | pparadis: Shame I don't have the money for the backup services. |
| 03:38 | <sam350> | Dharmesh, please attempt to run these lines on your server |
| 03:38 | <newbie> | pparadis, kylexy: yeh..and that's why it may not be appropriate for what I want..I wouldn't want to do "restore" if say I have only one table to fix..sure I'd fix it but then I'd lose all the data that changed in the time since that backup |
| 03:38 | <sam350> | http://pastebin.com/tupVBbw8 |
| 03:38 | <pparadis> | newbie: you don't have to restore to the same linode. |
| 03:39 | <pparadis> | you can either resize images down to make room for a restore to the same linode, or you can restore to a new linode, get what you need, delete the linode, and you only pay for a day's worth of that linode. |
| 03:39 | <sam350> | I do have successful run of your code and the basic version I placed in the pastebin.com/tupVBbw8 |
| 03:39 | <pparadis> | newbie: for a linode 512, that's something like $0.65. |
| 03:39 | <pparadis> | and given that you shouldn't (hopefully) have to do so very often, it's honestly extremely cheap insurance. |
| 03:40 | <newbie> | pparadis: ahh..nice idea (of course you guys would have thought of that). I know I'm over engineering but I'm wanting to have backups more frequent than hourly. Hence me looking into rsync to another linode |

| 03:41 | <newbie> | oops..not more frequent than hourly but more frequent than daily (which backups only go up to) |
| 03:41 | <sam350> | do servers ever have RAID setup? i think thats what you need newbie |
| 03:41 | <pparadis> | i seriously recommend both in your case. |
| 03:41 | <pparadis> | sam350: RAID is _not_ a replacement for backups. |

| 03:42 | <pparadis> | no, it doesn't. |
| 03:42 | <sam350> | is what my thought was |
| 03:42 | <sam350> | how come not |
| 03:42 | <Dharmesh> | ok |
| 03:42 | <navi> | sam350: Not in the instance of accidentally deleting or overwriting a file |
| 03:42 | <@heckman> | sam350: THe only replacement for backups are more backups. |
| 03:42 | <pparadis> | http://serverfault.com/questions/2888/why-is-raid-not-a-backup <-- please see, along with a lot of other resources. |
| 03:42 | <pparadis> | heckman++++++ |
| 03:42 | <sam350> | jaja |
| 03:42 | <sam350> | ha |
| 03:42 | <KyleXY> | heckman: You're telling me, I have at least 5 different copies of the backups |
| 03:43 | <@heckman> | sam350: RAID is awesome. It does wonders for keeping a system online in case of a drive failing. However, *all* hardware can fail. |
| 03:43 | <pparadis> | s/can/will at some point/ |
| 03:43 | <newbie> | pparadis: hmmm..i see your point. perhaps rdiff-backup is the way to go then? you can run more than sync's? Basically, I'm after a mirror of a linode from which I can recover any stuffed files/DBs but also have as a backup server in case something disasterous happens to the original's data centre |
| 03:43 | <Dharmesh> | sam350: still same issue |
| 03:44 | <pparadis> | newbie: you can run something like rdiff-backup just as often as you would rsync. it will only transfer changed files, and you're only limited by disk space on the receiving end. |
| 03:44 | <Dharmesh> | it display page can not be displayed |
| 03:44 | <sam350> | can you link me |
| 03:44 | <Dharmesh> | its my local server |
| 03:44 | <pparadis> | so you could back up a ton of stuff to your home network, for example, but restoring a lot of data to your linode would likely be slow. |
| 03:44 | <sam350> | what OS |
| 03:44 | <Dharmesh> | ubuntu |
| 03:45 | <pparadis> | hence the great combination of linode backups and rdiff-backup |
| 03:45 | <pparadis> | Dharmesh: what version? |
| 03:45 | <sam350> | what is production environ |
| 03:45 | <pparadis> | Dharmesh: you are not providing _any_ information, and it is incredibly difficult to help you. |
| 03:45 | <Dharmesh> | Ubuntu 10.04 LTS |
| 03:45 | <Dharmesh> | same |
| 03:45 | <sam350> | have you placed the .php on the server |
| 03:45 | <Dharmesh> | no but its creating problem |
| 03:45 | <sam350> | it is very simple and quick to do |
| 03:45 | <sam350> | then we can know if your production environment has same problem |
| 03:46 | <sam350> | most likely need to install a library |
| 03:46 | <Dharmesh> | sam350 : both the environ ments are same |
| 03:46 | <newbie> | pparadis: to be clear - a frequent rsync simply gives you a mirror which will be sooner rather than later reflective of any really bad happenings on your source linode. therefore, rdiff-backup is better to run since it'll have earlier versions you can fall back on? |
| 03:47 | <pparadis> | Dharmesh: does "dpkg -l" match up on both environments? |
| 03:47 | <sam350> | Dharmesh but they are not identical images are they? I can have ubuntu freshly installed missing many packages |
| 03:47 | <pparadis> | newbie: yes. |
| 03:47 | <sam350> | and a server with everything on it installed correctly |
| 03:47 | <sam350> | they are same environments? or no? |
| 03:47 | <pparadis> | dpkg -l <-- will give the answer. |
| 03:48 | <sam350> | Dharmesh it is a trick question |
| 03:48 | <pparadis> | yep. if one works and the other doesn't, they're not the sam.e |
| 03:48 | <pparadis> | same, even. |
| 03:48 | <pparadis> | of course, dpkg won't account for anything that was compiled. |
| 03:49 | <newbie> | pparadis: cheers. And since I do want to have a backup server I can switch work to if disaster hits the original linode's datacentre..the solution may be: call rdiff-backup frequently via cron to backup to backup-server (which has to have more diskspace than original server to allow for versioning)? |
| 03:49 | <pparadis> | newbie: correct! |
| 03:49 | <Dharmesh> | yes i can surely say its same |
| 03:50 | <pparadis> | Dharmesh: if one environment works, and the other does not work, they are not the same. |
| 03:50 | <newbie> | pparadis: cheers...darn..doing to have to cough up more dough for the diskspace then.. |
| 03:50 | <Dharmesh> | no on both the environ ment is not working |
| 03:50 | <pparadis> | newbie: it's peace of mind. it's worth it. |
| 03:50 | <pparadis> | Dharmesh: well then, my apologies, it is indeed busted in both places then. |
| 03:51 | <Dharmesh> | i am recieving same issue since yesterday that is regard seg faults |
| 03:52 | <pparadis> | Dharmesh: what changed in your environment? |
| 03:53 | <newbie> | pparadis: so is that why you were saying rsync & linode-backup are a good combo? rsync gives you an up to date back-up server ready to go in case of original-server disaster whilst linode-backup in some ways is "versioning" the original server? |
| 03:53 | <Dharmesh> | pparadis : how could i know at the moment? |
| 03:53 | <Dharmesh> | i may made many changes |
| 03:54 | <pparadis> | newbie: the linode backups service lets you restore from various previous snapshots, but if you want higher than one day resolution you need to be using rdiff-backup along with it to send backups somewhere else (to a local backup server, for example). i would recommend both the linode backup service and rdiff-backup. |
| 03:54 | <pparadis> | set it up, give it a go, and there you have it. |
| 03:55 | <pparadis> | Dharmesh: do you follow the practice of making changes in a dev or test environment first, testing the changes thoroughly, and then making the same changes in production? |
| 03:56 | <Dharmesh> | pparadis : but at both the environment its not working so first i need to check with my local server |
| 03:57 | <pparadis> | Dharmesh: my question was specifically regarding your development practices. i asked if you only make changes in your dev environment first, then apply the changes to production only when it was already proven to work in the dev environment. |
| 03:58 | <newbie> | ericoc: pparadis: probably a "how long is a piece of string?" question but if I'm wanting to us rdiff-backup to version a server, I should have double the amount of space on the backup-server compared to the original server? |
| 03:58 | <Dharmesh> | yes local server is my devlopment server and then i need to correct the things on production |
| 03:58 | <pparadis> | Dharmesh: i'm really asking how your production environment got messed up if you are supposed to be testing things in the dev environment before making changes in production. |
| 03:58 | <pparadis> | newbie: that's a fair estimate. |
| 03:59 | <sam350> | Dharmesh I would save my config files like php.ini and then uninstall php and reinstall according to the linode library |

| 04:01 | <newbie> | pparadis: cheers. hhmmm..see what you mean. looks like buying the additional diskspace for that is more expensive than linode-backup |

| 04:01 | <pparadis> | i'd still recommend sending backups somewhere offsite as well, but the linode backup service works quite well. |

| 04:02 | <navi> | Well, data in is $0 |
| 04:02 | <navi> | So it's great for backup now |
| 04:02 | <pparadis> | navi: depends on your desired redundancy. |
| 04:03 | <pparadis> | but yes, that's a very viable "last ditch" place to store backups. |
| 04:03 | <pparadis> | it would be the "meteor hit the datacenter" option. |
| 04:04 | <navi> | 20GB of reduced redundancy storage with S3 is $1.86 |
| 04:04 | <pparadis> | yup |
| 04:04 | <pparadis> | cheap |
| 04:04 | <pparadis> | that's a fine place to ship offsite backups. |
| 04:05 | <navi> | Or un-reduced redundancy for $2.80 |
| 04:05 | <navi> | And since all data in is $0... |
| 04:05 | <navi> | You just pay when you want to restore, and the first 1GB out every month is free too? |

| 04:18 | <nohh> | mortality rates of people with swine flu versus people with regular flu, and the rate of infection.. neither were that out of line with normal influenze which no one really panics over |
| 04:18 | <pparadis> | navi: i completely agree. but financial markets in general are a necessary silliness. |
| 04:18 | <pparadis> | nohh: but that doesn't make good news. |

| 04:19 | <rnowak> | sure, but we're talking of the general population not selective groups, so as a whole, it was more potent |
| 04:19 | <navi> | pparadis: The stock market is a load of people controlling money, and whoever chickens out first is the winner |

| 04:20 | <pparadis> | rnowak: overall mortality per capita wasn't substantially higher is the point i'm making. |

| 04:21 | <newbie> | navi: agreed. silly situation. It's like..oh look..prices are falling..I better not go shopping then! |
| 04:21 | <pparadis> | navi: just another market on top of a market, really. |
| 04:21 | <navi> | If they change the rating on a stock, it can affect the stock's price, even though the company the stock represents isn't doing anything better or worse than it was yesterday |
| 04:21 | <pparadis> | this is why long term investments are generally okay, and day trading is for guys who like to gamble. |
| 04:22 | <pparadis> | the alternative to long term investing is a cabin in the woods in the middle of nowwhere and lots of ammo. |
| 04:22 | <pparadis> | because if you believe in the eventual collapse of world markets across the globe, you're going to be better off with the ammo in a remote location. |

| 06:39 | <rnowak> | I am not sure if you *have* to, but if you don't, and if wordpress supports it, you'd have to supply it the root password, which I wouldn't do anyway. So I'd say, yes. |

| 07:31 | <John> | hi all ... |
| 07:32 | <John> | just upgraded from debian lenny to squeeze on my node and rebooted. Now it looks like there is a problem resolving domain names ... anyone know what might be going on? |
| 07:33 | <mig5> | John: got an example you can pastebin? |
| 07:34 | <John> | for example when logged in using linode console, when I type in ping google.com, I get ping: unknown host google.com |
| 07:34 | <mig5> | is there anything in your /etc/resolv.conf ? |
| 07:36 | <John> | yes... it has the following entries: |
| 07:36 | <John> | domain members.linode.com search members.linode.com nameserver 207.192.69.5 nameserver 97.107.133.4 nameserver 207.192.69.4 |
| 07:37 | <mig5> | not sure if that's formatted strangly, but all those lines should be on separate lines. might be easier to pastebin it.. |
| 07:37 | <John> | yes they are on seperate lines ... how do i pastebin it |
| 07:38 | <mig5> | you can use http://pb.linode.com/ in future |
| 07:39 | <mig5> | anyway, you are using the console.. are you sure your server has an IP.. sounds like your networking isn't working |
| 07:39 | <John> | okay thank you |
| 07:39 | <mig5> | can you ping any IPs from the linode, etc |
| 07:39 | <rnowak> | `ifconfig` |
| 07:39 | <John> | it was working fine until i did the upgrade to squeeze |
| 07:39 | <AlexC_> | John: those nameservers seem borked. I get nothing from them |
| 07:40 | <AlexC_> | $ dig +noall +answer google.co.uk @207.192.69.4 |
| 07:40 | <AlexC_> | $ |
| 07:40 | <AlexC_> | John: try removing those nameservers, and set 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 |
| 07:40 | <rnowak> | resolver1.newark.linode.com |
| 07:40 | <rnowak> | is what that IP address is |

| 07:51 | <John> | yes I just did a couple of times |
| 07:51 | <rnowak> | well, he did it without later on |
| 07:51 | <John> | oh okay |
| 07:51 | <rnowak> | and his interface is down |
| 07:51 | <John> | ip addr is working when just typed in |
| 07:52 | <rnowak> | what happens if you run: ip link set eth0 up |
| 07:53 | <John> | returns nothing and networking looks like it is still down |
| 07:54 | <AlexC_> | the output of `ip addr` did not change? |

| 10:00 | <Daevien> | rnowak: well, it was a vm, so not a big deal in my case, just dropped my ssh session which was being routed through it to a machine deepe ron my network. but yes, remote admin without remote console or anythign is rough. used to run servers in atlanta, china & malaysia that didn't have them. cringed everytime i had to do anything that might involve a reboot |
| 10:00 | <rnowak> | Daevien: heh, yeah - pretty nasty :p |
| 10:01 | <mcurry> | I was hoping someone in the know might be here. |
| 10:01 | <Daevien> | mcurry: probably something up with your billing they need to check, as akerl suggested, a an email or ticket will get a faster response, they always monitor those and response quickly, they watch irc less often |
| 10:01 | <akerl> | mcurry: All the ops are employees, so if one of them is actively chatting in here, you can get very fast resolution, but overall, the average email response is faster. |

| 11:10 | <john2> | no .. upgrade seemed to go well ... was just following instructions from http://library.linode.com/troubleshooting/upgrade-to-debian-6-squeeze |

| 11:12 | <navi> | Ben 2011-03-21 16:37:29 |
| 11:12 | <navi> | For some reason, ifupdown was missing after the update on my install. Had to fix that, the mysql thing, switch dovecot from cmusieve to sieve and pick a newer kernel to keep udev happy |
| 11:12 | <navi> | So you're not the only one who's ever had this issue, it seems |
| 11:13 | <john2> | yes ... saw that comment now ... wonder what he did to fix it |
| 11:13 | <navi> | installed it again? |
| 11:14 | <navi> | Just a guess. |
| 11:14 | <john2> | apt-get install ifupdown? |

| 11:17 | <john2> | apt-get no longer works because network is down for the node |
| 11:19 | <@heckman> | john2: There's a cool way to trick it in to working. |
| 11:19 | <@heckman> | One moment, I'll type up quick instructions and pastebin it. |
| 11:19 | <praetorian> | 4. Profit |
| 11:22 | <@heckman> | john2: http://p.linode.com/5518 |
| 11:24 | <@heckman> | It uses Finnix to restore network connectivity. You the chroot in to your environment and use apt-get like always. Once finished simply exit out of the chrooted environment and reboot back in to your configuration profile. |
| 11:25 | <hawk> | I would have thought that he probably still has his dhcp client in place just that nothing starts it... something like "dhclient eth0" could work if that was so |

| 15:42 | <akerl> | Ok, so I'm switching from mysql to postgresql. I know when I installed mysql, I did mysql_secure_installation to get the basic stuff configured. Are there any similar steps I want to take to configure postgres? |

| 15:45 | <dylanvee> | I'm using MySQL to store weather station data. Many days of observations, many stations, and 5 types of observations (e.member:g. min temp, max temp, member:snow depth, etc.). Should I design my tables such that one member:row has all types of measurements for one day, or should each member:row only have one type of measurement (e.member:g. 5 rows for 1 day of observations at 1 station)? Thanks in advance... |
| 15:45 | <akerl> | dylanvee: Yes. |
| 15:46 | <dylanvee> | akerl: Yes what? :) |
| 15:46 | <vsmatck> | You could do that or go semi-schema'd. Where you have a "measurement_type" columm, for example. |
| 15:46 | <akerl> | Firstly, that description is very confusing in terms of how you are considering storing the data. Secondly, there is no way, without more information, of telling you exactly the best way of doing things |
| 15:46 | <dylanvee> | I guess to clarify, what is more efficient: "SELECT temp_max FROM measurements WHERE date ..." or "SELECT value FROM measurements WHERE type = temp_max AND date ..." |
| 15:47 | <pharaun> | are the type of observations fixed? |
| 15:47 | <dylanvee> | Sorry :/ |
| 15:47 | <akerl> | For instance, Does each station/day combo have all 5 observations? |
| 15:47 | <HoopyCat> | how will you be retrieving the information? if you're ever going to want to do SELECT highTemp,lowTemp,rainfallAmount FROM observations... or something, you'll probably want multiple columns in one table |
| 15:47 | <dylanvee> | There are only 5 types of observations, but every station will not have each type every day. |
| 15:47 | <pharaun> | if so then i would just recommend like date, station id, observation and have one row per, but again that depends on what you want to do |
| 15:47 | <pharaun> | ah |
| 15:48 | <HoopyCat> | if you have columns named "type" and "value", you're doing it wrong |
| 15:48 | <akerl> | Personally, I'd probably do one table per station, one row per day, one column per observation, NULL for any that don't exist |
| 15:48 | <pharaun> | i'm with hoopy ^ |
| 15:48 | <pharaun> | that's a quick way to get into a mess |
| 15:48 | <pharaun> | akerl: that depends on how many stations there are |
| 15:48 | <akerl> | pharaun: Fair enough |
| 15:48 | <dylanvee> | a few thousand stations |
| 15:48 | <pharaun> | thousands of stations -> thousands of table? |
| 15:48 | <pharaun> | does each station have a unique id ? |
| 15:49 | <dylanvee> | is thousands of tables bad? |
| 15:49 | <dylanvee> | yes, they have unique IDs |
| 15:49 | <vsmatck> | It depends on how much you want to do in the application. And how likely schema changes are (for fully schema'd design). |
| 15:49 | <dylanvee> | very unlikely. it's historical climate data. |
| 15:49 | <HoopyCat> | dylanvee: it gets a little odd when you have a lot of tables, yes |
| 15:49 | <dylanvee> | import once, read a bunch of times |
| 15:49 | <akerl> | dylanvee: Out of curiousity, how are you coming into possession of thousands of stations without an existing storage mechanism? |
| 15:49 | <pharaun> | <-- is a fan of this schema - date, stationid, value, value, value, value |
| 15:49 | <pharaun> | akerl: cvs i would guess |
| 15:49 | <@mikegrb> | lulz |
| 15:49 | <dylanvee> | It's all in a text file provided by the US Govt lol |
| 15:49 | <pharaun> | s/cvs/csv/ i mean |
| 15:50 | <vsmatck> | If schema is very fixed with the historical data.. then I'm going to agree with most of the people here to do fully-schema'd. |
| 15:50 | <dylanvee> | http://cdiac.ornl.gov/ftp/ushcn_daily/ |
| 15:50 | <akerl> | pharaun++, where value is the name of the observation, not the actual words "value1" "value2" etc |
| 15:50 | <pharaun> | i've done some work with weather data and honestly the simplest approach i found was just to do date, id, value value |
| 15:50 | <pharaun> | akerl: of course |
| 15:50 | <dylanvee> | vsmatck: That's what I was thinking as well |
| 15:50 | <HoopyCat> | also note that the occasional "ALTER TABLE" is not the end of the world |
| 15:50 | <vsmatck> | Well that depends on how big your data is. :) |
| 15:50 | <HoopyCat> | adding columns is fine... well, you AREN'T doing "SELECT *", right? :-) |
| 15:50 | <vsmatck> | If your alter table starts taking more than 1 month you may have problems. |
| 15:50 | <dylanvee> | The measurements text file is ~2 GB uncompressed |
| 15:50 | <pharaun> | that's not too bad |
| 15:51 | <dylanvee> | And like I said, after the import it's gonna be all reads |
| 15:51 | <pharaun> | really large databases can be in the order of terabytes |
| 15:51 | <AviMarcus> | HoopyCat, select * is a bad idea? :P |
| 15:51 | <HoopyCat> | dylanvee: woohah, that's a fun-looking format |
| 15:51 | <akerl> | Now that all the db people have hopped out of the woodwork, any advice on initial config for postgres? |
| 15:51 | <vsmatck> | I bet fully schema'd would give you better performance in a all-read situation. You could define indexes on everything. The performance loss would only be on writes. |
| 15:51 | <HoopyCat> | AviMarcus: it is when i add a column :-) |
| 15:52 | <pharaun> | hahaha :x 264 columns? |
| 15:52 | <HoopyCat> | akerl: i have no idea how to tune postgresql, which i consider to be a very good thing. |
| 15:52 | <dylanvee> | vsmatck: In which case I'm gonna create the indexes only after inserting everything |
| 15:52 | <akerl> | That you don't know how to tune it? |
| 15:52 | <pharaun> | dylanvee: are you straight loading or are you going to parse these and only load a subset of that data? |
| 15:52 | <HoopyCat> | akerl: i haven't had to learn how to tune it yet, despite it somehow sitting there handling... a lot of queries |
| 15:53 | <pharaun> | dylanvee: btw i would recommend turning off transaction and do batch-insert to speed up the loading |
| 15:53 | <akerl> | HoopyCat: Awesome. |
| 15:53 | <pharaun> | assuming whatever db you are using can't directload from csv |
| 15:53 | <dylanvee> | pharaun: The existing data is in an odd format but yes I'm going to load all of it |
| 15:53 | <dylanvee> | pharaun: It's not straight CSV |
| 15:53 | <dylanvee> | pharaun: http://cdiac.ornl.gov/ftp/ushcn_daily/data_format.txt |
| 15:53 | <akerl> | This is why I love linode as a personal/learning tool. I can decide that I want to learn postgres and python, and start rebuilding my server. |
| 15:53 | <pharaun> | k then you'll need a scrpit and all of that :) and haha yes i am looking at the data format.txt |
| 15:54 | <dylanvee> | Yep, I'm in the process of designing the schema / writing the script |
| 15:54 | <pharaun> | dylanvee: i would higly recommend looking into turning off transaction for the data loading and look into bulk inserts |
| 15:54 | <pharaun> | what db are you using? i did mine with sqlite and i just put it in ramdisk for the initial data loading |
| 15:54 | <akerl> | hmm... I can't even find the postgres config file |
| 15:55 | <dylanvee> | pharaun: Sounds good to me. |
| 15:56 | <akerl> | Nifty. Postgres keeps it's conf in the data directory. I wonder if there'd be any problems symlinking that to /etc |
| 15:56 | <dylanvee> | So, to recap on the schema design question, it sounds like I should have one row per station per day? |
| 15:56 | -!- | Sura-Bura [surabura@faeroes.sdf.org] has joined #linode |
| 15:57 | <vsmatck> | Does a day only have one reading? |
| 15:57 | -!- | shedammit [~shedammit@173-228-38-124.dsl.dynamic.sonic.net] has quit [Quit: bye] |
| 15:57 | <dylanvee> | vsmatck: Yes, only one of each type per day. |
| 15:57 | <pharaun> | dylanvee: one row for one reading + station |
| 15:57 | <pharaun> | oh only one a day then yes |
| 15:57 | <vsmatck> | I concur :) |
| 15:57 | <Sura-Bura> | Let's say, hypothetically, that someone at Linode wants to snoop into my linode and look at my data. What steps would he need to take? Does he have to physically approach the node, or can he easily log into it as root, or easily remotely look at the hard drive contents? |
| 15:57 | <dylanvee> | pharaun: Cool. Where the alternative would be one row for reading + station + one of the 5 types. |
| 15:58 | <pharaun> | nice thing is it will let you do various query like X station by date range, or "what's the nationwide weather on Y day" |
| 15:58 | <akerl> | Sura-Bura: He'd log into the host machine, and look at your node. |
| 15:58 | <pharaun> | Sura-Bura: is this for PCI-dss stuff ? |
| 15:58 | <dylanvee> | pharaun: The majority of our queries will be "give me the max and min temps for this station for this date range" |
| 15:58 | <Sura-Bura> | pharaun, what's that? |
| 15:59 | <Sura-Bura> | I'm just concerned about privacy.. |
| 15:59 | <pharaun> | dylanvee: then the one row per station w/ columns containing data per day is the best imho |
| 15:59 | <Sura-Bura> | I've no idea who to trust out there :S |
| 15:59 | <Sura-Bura> | I certainly don't trust Google and Apple |
| 15:59 | <pharaun> | then you can do station = "blah" and date = "blah range/whatever" |
| 15:59 | <pharaun> | nice and easy query |
| 15:59 | <dylanvee> | pharaun: Great, thanks! My gut tells me that's the best way too |
| 15:59 | <Sura-Bura> | i thought maybe Linode would be safer because at least not all the data is on some central server and backed up to who knows where. |
| 16:00 | <pharaun> | Sura-Bura: again its not a machine in your personal control :p |
| 16:00 | <akerl> | Sura-Bura: Realistically, there is no way to store data on a server from HOST, that HOST can't read, and have that same server use the data. |
| 16:00 | <akerl> | Sura-Bura: Where HOST is anyone from godaddy to linode to anybody else |
| 16:00 | <Sura-Bura> | ok.. |
| 16:01 | <akerl> | Because you can encrypt your data a million different ways, but if you want your server to use the data, the server (which isn't under your personal control) must know how to decrypt it |
| 16:01 | <pharaun> | even if you host your own hardware in a datacenter |
| 16:01 | <pharaun> | you will be on the same network as X thousands other machines |
| 16:01 | <pharaun> | they can attack your machine or someone can put a hub in between and read the traffic, or have physical access, etc... |
| 16:01 | <Sura-Bura> | so why do you guys trust linode? |
| 16:01 | <Sura-Bura> | have you any reason to? |
| 16:01 | <akerl> | Sura-Bura: Why do you trust your ISP? |
| 16:01 | <pharaun> | i'm reminded of this quotation to have a secure computer. 1) computer is off, 2) no ethernet cable, 3) its buried in cement :) |
| 16:02 | <Sura-Bura> | akerl, good point |
| 16:02 | <Sura-Bura> | i dont :( |
| 16:02 | <HIghoS> | Sura-Bura: At a certain point in time, you have to trust someone. |
| 16:02 | <AviMarcus> | HIghoS, NEVER! |
| 16:02 | <pharaun> | thus "web of trust" :p |
| 16:02 | <Sura-Bura> | pharaun, hehe |
| 16:02 | <Parallax> | Trust no-one |
| 16:02 | <Knorrie> | Sura-Bura: why do you trust the bakery? they could put poison into your bread! |
| 16:02 | <HIghoS> | If you don't trust anyone, you couldn't be here asking these questions. |
| 16:02 | <pharaun> | what about the guys who built your house? |
| 16:02 | <HIghoS> | You're asking for validation just by being here, hence... kinda ridiculous. |
| 16:02 | <Parallax> | Sura-Bura: why do you trust us to answer your question honestly? |
| 16:03 | <akerl> | ^^ |
| 16:03 | <pharaun> | we are random figurment of your mind :> |

| 16:04 | <pharaun> | eh |
| 16:04 | <Sura-Bura> | emails then* |
| 16:04 | <pharaun> | the larger a company is the more likely there is going to be a rogue employee |
| 16:04 | <Sura-Bura> | oh crap |
| 16:04 | <pharaun> | just another thing to consider :> |
| 16:04 | <AviMarcus> | which proves? |
| 16:04 | <akerl> | But I'm sure Linode doesn't allow Lady Gaga cds |
| 16:04 | <pharaun> | its all about risk management |
| 16:05 | <akerl> | So we're safe |
| 16:05 | <Sura-Bura> | Can some staff comment on this? How do you handle data? |
| 16:05 | <pharaun> | if you don't trust your email server |
| 16:05 | <pharaun> | you should be using gpg encryption in a end to end encryption |
| 16:05 | <pharaun> | between you and your destination for example |
| 16:05 | <akerl> | Sura-Bura: All the ops here are staff, but the basic premise will be "technically we could see your data, but we don't spy on you" |
| 16:05 | <pharaun> | or if its national security issue, well gosh don't put it on your linode :o |
| 16:05 | <pharaun> | again ^ |
| 16:06 | <pharaun> | we trust them not to spy on our data, but again its all about trust and risk management |

| 16:06 | <Sura-Bura> | ok |
| 16:06 | <Sura-Bura> | this is also why i can't put my projects on any online git host, e.g. github |
| 16:06 | <Sura-Bura> | because the data is not encrypted on their servers |
| 16:07 | <akerl> | I feel like "can't" is the wrong verb |
| 16:07 | <pharaun> | truth be told, people here either 1) trust linode staff, 2) risk management and don';t put any data that is bad on their machines, 3) don't give a damn |
| 16:07 | <AlexC_> | Sura-Bura: is your data *really* this sensitive, or are you just being silly? |
| 16:07 | <AlexC_> | I'm putting money on the latter |
| 16:07 | <akerl> | If someone wants to get your data badly enough, they'll just break into your house. |
| 16:07 | <Parallax> | Most likely option B |
| 16:07 | <pharaun> | Sura-Bura: um why the hell would you want to put data on github if its *that* sensitive |
| 16:07 | <pharaun> | private repo i suppose but :x |
| 16:07 | <Sura-Bura> | The data is not too sensitive, no. But I think it's healthy to think about it. Stupid to just not give a damn imo |
| 16:08 | <Sura-Bura> | yeah i have private repos |
| 16:08 | <AlexC_> | Sura-Bura: yes, but your thinking of it right now is too unhealthy and is hindering your options for no reason |
| 16:08 | <pharaun> | yes but again there is a wide range of thinking to do :) |
| 16:08 | <Sura-Bura> | and then i encrypt them and upload them to back them up |
| 16:08 | <Sura-Bura> | good point |
| 16:08 | <pharaun> | there's from wise/smart consideration to outright, OH MY GOD THE FEDS ARE AFTER ME! |
| 16:08 | <akerl> | There's a difference between "not giving a damn", which is putting all your sensitive data on public ftp, and "not being crazy" which is what you're considering |

| 16:22 | <nosuchnick> | pharaun: if he encrypts all data on his linode with gpg, with full disk encryption on his localhost (assuming he is a lin user) |
| 16:23 | <nosuchnick> | if a pseudoname is used, he can disavow knowledge of how to decrypt, or if he wishes to, use gpg --show-session key |
| 16:23 | <nosuchnick> | and --override-session-key |
| 16:23 | <nosuchnick> | to allow them to decrypt every individual file |
| 16:23 | <nosuchnick> | that the session is valid for |

| 16:23 | <akerl> | nosuchnick: That's lovely if he's using linode as a glorified s3, just for storage. But how does he let the server use the data |
| 16:24 | <nosuchnick> | depends on what kind of data you are talking about akerl |
| 16:24 | <pharaun> | anyway if its used as storage that would work but there's cheaper alternatives |
| 16:24 | <akerl> | nosuchnick: web server. |
| 16:24 | <nosuchnick> | pharaun: the feds? there is more than just one group.. if its the DoJ, then its all due process and threats.. |
| 16:24 | <pharaun> | tho there has been stuff like running javascript on the browser to decrypt the data |
| 16:24 | <AlexC_> | there is a concept that Passpack uses, called Host-Proof-Hosting. They never know the data you store |
| 16:24 | <AlexC_> | pharaun: =) that's what Passpack does |
| 16:24 | <nosuchnick> | if it is another more sinister executive agency... then he should learn how to forget. |
| 16:25 | <pharaun> | nosuchnick: oh i know, its a gross simplification, i'm not going to spend 20 minute explaining each department in the feds :) and go direct to the "knee capper department" :> |

| 16:26 | <pharaun> | AlexC_: ah? yeah however again problem is depending, its still weak cos now you got javascript running on the client computer and how do you pass through the key to decrypt it unless you use an ... offline or alternative way to pass the decryption key |
| 16:26 | <nosuchnick> | pharaun: do you have experience with such matters, or is your knowledge gained from the Bourne Supremacy, and Green Zone? |

| 16:26 | <nosuchnick> | Torture... when talking about encryption isnt realistic. |
| 16:27 | <AlexC_> | pharaun: you provide the decryption key once you login |
| 16:27 | <pharaun> | so the decryption key would be something in your mind/local machine? |

| 16:27 | <nosuchnick> | If you beat him too hard, or induce too much duress, you run the risk of getting bad output. |
| 16:27 | <pharaun> | AlexC_: that would work but if you want someone else to view it you're going to need to find a way to transfer the key to them |
| 16:27 | <pharaun> | nosuchnick: oh i know, problem is if you truely forgot |
| 16:27 | <pharaun> | how can they verify that |
| 16:27 | <nosuchnick> | I did not say use a custom httpd to secure the data. Use a custom httpd to transmit it. |
| 16:28 | <nosuchnick> | so that all content on server is encrypted |
| 16:28 | <AlexC_> | pharaun: of course, which is fine for Passpack as it's for passwords for you, and not serving to the public |
| 16:28 | <akerl> | nosuchnick: If you lock up all your data with gpg, how does a custom httpd help you transmit it? Nobody can decrypt it... |
| 16:28 | <nosuchnick> | assuming you have a small group of people who shall recieve the crypto text |
| 16:28 | <nosuchnick> | or, store a secret key on another place |
| 16:28 | <pharaun> | AlexC_: fair enough, that works in that case :) I'm a big fan of services that encrypt your data locally and store it on the servers, i'm not a fan of models that encrypts *on* the servers, that's just... :| |
| 16:28 | <nosuchnick> | upload encrypted data |
| 16:28 | <akerl> | The end result is that there is always a weak link, and it can always be compromised. |
| 16:29 | <nosuchnick> | and then you can remove the key (save from gcache) |
| 16:29 | <pharaun> | again called rubber hose cryptoanalysis :) |
| 16:29 | <nosuchnick> | sure |
| 16:29 | <AlexC_> | pharaun: yeah, I don't like that either. Passpack does all the encryption and decryption in your browser, and only stores the encrypred data. Hence the host-proof-hosting |
| 16:29 | <akerl> | Once you add the internet to a security plan, there is no complete solution. |
| 16:29 | <nosuchnick> | but that is why if you have legitimate security concerns |
| 16:29 | <nosuchnick> | and interests on yer ass |
| 16:29 | <nosuchnick> | dont make it public. |
| 16:29 | <nosuchnick> | btw, organizations are more interested in WHO you are xmitting data to, not what you are sending. |
| 16:29 | <AlexC_> | pastebin is agood idea for sensitive data |
| 16:30 | <pharaun> | AlexC_: in that case, it works :) however! another problem is its done via javascript/in browser, what's there to prevent mtm attack on the javascript? how about the host replacing the javascript ? etc |
| 16:30 | <nosuchnick> | realistically, all cryptographic algorithms are already compromised. |
| 16:30 | <nosuchnick> | They would not be granted an export license if they were not. |
| 16:30 | <akerl> | I'd bet that the user is the weak link in 95% of situations that involve sharing data. So the original point about trusting linode is a pointless debate |
| 16:30 | <pharaun> | nosuchnick: i don't really care, i am just saying there's no 100% secure/proof manner because humans will be the weak link :) |
| 16:30 | <akerl> | pharaun: And ninja'd :p |
| 16:30 | <AlexC_> | pharaun: the host changing the JavaScript to retransmit the decrypted data back to them? Possible, though they are very open about it all and you can download their HPH code to make your own services with |
| 16:30 | <pharaun> | nosuchnick: and if they really *HAVE* to like its national security they can always make you go away and take their sweet time on you |
| 16:31 | <pharaun> | AlexC_: nice :) and yeah i know, i was just poking holes in that model, again in the end it comes down to "trust", who do you trust |
| 16:31 | <nosuchnick> | You mean other than the linode guest, and any bribable person in the dcenter, plus the algo itself being compromised by its designers (them) ? |
| 16:31 | <nosuchnick> | it comes down to what you are sending... |
| 16:31 | <nosuchnick> | side channel attacks are very effective |
| 16:31 | <nosuchnick> | coupled with social network analysis. |
| 16:31 | <AlexC_> | pharaun: indeed, a healthy level of trust is needed somewhere as you say |
| 16:31 | <@mikegrb> | lulz |
| 16:31 | <nosuchnick> | What is the point of encrypting if your pubkee is stored on ntfs lol.. |
| 16:32 | <pharaun> | nosuchnick: wtf does ntfs has to do with this |
| 16:32 | <nosuchnick> | or my favorite, truecrypt.. nuff said. |
| 16:32 | <akerl> | nosuchnick: You're arguing a non-point. I'm not sure what you hope to prove |
| 16:32 | <nosuchnick> | duh.. any idiot can use a live cd, copy off the secret key |
| 16:32 | <nosuchnick> | since you cannot trust that if you have secure data |
| 16:32 | <pharaun> | *facepalm* |
| 16:32 | <nosuchnick> | its easier to break into your home |
| 16:32 | <nosuchnick> | than it is to break into a server. |
| 16:32 | <akerl> | obvious troll is obvious |
| 16:33 | <nosuchnick> | ... I am a sec consultant, not a troll.. |
| 16:33 | <nosuchnick> | Be realistic. |
| 16:33 | <AlexC_> | but how can we trust that you're not a troll? |
| 16:33 | <nosuchnick> | a black bag job is easier. |
| 16:33 | <@mikegrb> | lulz |
| 16:33 | <nosuchnick> | lol. because you all are still talking about renditions and kneecapping |
| 16:33 | <@mikegrb> | lulz |
| 16:33 | <nosuchnick> | watching too many movies lol. |
| 16:34 | <nosuchnick> | honestly, if you have serious data, the russians go for yer family. |
| 16:34 | <AlexC_> | well, maybe instead of kneecapping we can switch to tickiling people |
| 16:34 | <akerl> | nosuchnick: What are you attempting to prove? We've established that nothing is secure, everything is vulnerable, and the world is full of vulnerabilities... |
| 16:34 | <akerl> | Either make a new point, or move on. |
| 16:34 | <AlexC_> | some people will crack to stop people ticklingy them |
| 16:34 | <nosuchnick> | the point: making a personal linode secure-ish |
| 16:34 | <AlexC_> | I wonder if that is a legit interogration technique? |
| 16:34 | <nosuchnick> | from linode, with a |
| 16:34 | <pharaun> | nosuchnick: no the reason why i keep on bringing up "kneecapping" is because it *proves* that humans are going to usually be the weakest link in a secure system once you've fixed/covered up all of the other holes/weakness in it |
| 16:34 | <nosuchnick> | - from linode staff |
| 16:35 | <pharaun> | nosuchnick: again need I remind you of wikileaks and the guy who leaks documents to them? |
| 16:35 | <nosuchnick> | as well as ensuring that assuming the images are in dirty hands anyway |
| 16:35 | <@mikegrb> | lulz |
| 16:35 | <nosuchnick> | lol |
| 16:35 | <akerl> | nosuchnick: 1) You can't knock us for mentioning kneecapping, and then bring up russians killing family |
| 16:35 | <nosuchnick> | oh, you only have two knees |
| 16:35 | <pharaun> | AlexC_: probably |
| 16:35 | <nosuchnick> | and four sides... |
| 16:35 | <nosuchnick> | front and back. |
| 16:35 | <pharaun> | what the fuck |
| 16:35 | <nosuchnick> | surely a more creative approach is used. btw, manning is being held sure |
| 16:35 | <AlexC_> | pharaun: it would be incredibly awesome if it was |
| 16:35 | <pharaun> | you have over 100 bones, start breaking each one by one :p |
| 16:35 | <nosuchnick> | but its not like he is in gitmo |
| 16:35 | <nosuchnick> | or at bagram.. |
| 16:35 | <pharaun> | AlexC_: probably :) |
| 16:36 | <nosuchnick> | he hasnt lost his citizenship |
| 16:36 | <pharaun> | nosuchnick: oh from what i heard, it was far worse, he was being held in solinary confinement, and don't have any blanket or clothings to wear when he is sleeping |
| 16:36 | <nosuchnick> | since many of ye learn from hollywood, Unthinkable is far more realistic.. |
| 16:36 | <pharaun> | nosuchnick: and if they can't see his face and see if he's breathing then they will go in and wake him up |
| 16:36 | <nosuchnick> | yep |
| 16:36 | <pharaun> | how is that better than gitmo |
| 16:36 | <@mikegrb> | lulz |
| 16:36 | <nosuchnick> | lol |
| 16:36 | <nosuchnick> | no comment. |
| 16:37 | <nosuchnick> | gitmo isnt the worst. believe it or not. |
| 16:37 | <pharaun> | but the truth of the matter is the human is going to be the weakness, so honestly again, please can you explain, WHAT you are trying to prove/say ? |
| 16:37 | <akerl> | nosuchnick: Have you been to gitmo? |
| 16:37 | <nosuchnick> | that its possible to secure |
| 16:37 | <nosuchnick> | a linode |
| 16:37 | <akerl> | nosuchnick: How? |
| 16:38 | <AlexC_> | security is all relative anyway |
| 16:38 | <nosuchnick> | gut it and redesign the image. |
| 16:38 | <nosuchnick> | yes it is.. relative to the threats |
| 16:38 | <akerl> | nosuchnick: Again... how |
| 16:38 | <nosuchnick> | and the environment it operates in. |
| 16:38 | <nosuchnick> | well gee.. i have to ask |
| 16:38 | <nosuchnick> | what are you concerned about? |
| 16:38 | <AlexC_> | is it possible to secure a linode from a 2 year old? Yes |
| 16:38 | <nosuchnick> | what are the vectors? |
| 16:38 | <nosuchnick> | i meant from naughty staff, from certain organizations that may have an interest in yer data, etc. |
| 16:38 | <akerl> | nosuchnick: From anyone. |
| 16:39 | <nosuchnick> | but its a balance between security and accessibility naturally. |
| 16:39 | <nosuchnick> | you can lock it down like a nuns snatch, |
| 16:39 | <nosuchnick> | but that wont really help people see what yer up to. |
| 16:39 | <nosuchnick> | and it may draw more attention than just keeping it a regular linode. |
| 16:39 | <nosuchnick> | everyone: akerl: you mean yourself too? |
| 16:39 | <AlexC_> | the best way to secure your data is to not store that porn collection in the first place |
| 16:39 | <akerl> | Even if you find a magic encryption that can't be cracked, and write a custom httpd to send the files, you have to give someone the key to decrypt. And then joe schmoe who breaks into the user's house, puts a keylogger on their computer, and then has your data |
| 16:40 | <nosuchnick> | not about the magic encryption |
| 16:40 | <nosuchnick> | as i said above, ALL crpto algos are compromised before they are released.. |
| 16:40 | <nosuchnick> | public keys |
| 16:40 | * | akerl beats head on desk |
| 16:40 | <nosuchnick> | sha512 and alot of signatures, short cryptolength |
| 16:40 | <pharaun> | nosuchnick: including crypto algo from other country? |
| 16:40 | <Parallax> | I love watching nerds argue on the internet |
| 16:40 | <nosuchnick> | which country? |
| 16:40 | <pharaun> | *other* |
| 16:41 | <akerl> | You can't simultaneously argue that no crypto is safe, and that you can completely secure data. |
| 16:41 | <nosuchnick> | i never said completely. |
| 16:41 | <nosuchnick> | you did. |
| 16:41 | <akerl> | "<nosuchnick> you can lock it down like a nuns snatch," |
| 16:41 | <nosuchnick> | dont get emotional. |
| 16:41 | <tjfontaine> | security is not an end state, it's not something you achieve |
| 16:41 | <nosuchnick> | that did not mean that it was *complete.. |
| 16:41 | <nosuchnick> | yes tjfontaine , couldnt agree more |
| 16:42 | <AlexC_> | sudo apt-get install security |
| 16:42 | <nosuchnick> | it is a way of thinking, an outlook, and a system of practices based around your operation, your risk, |
| 16:42 | <nosuchnick> | and thank you.. someone has sanity installed... |
| 16:43 | <nosuchnick> | akerl: as stated above, it can be secure-ish... |
| 16:43 | <pharaun> | eh? i certainly never claimed that it was possible to 100% secure something, i'm reminded of a quotation, to have a secure computer, 1) its turned off, 2) no outside contact, 3) encasted in cement :p |
| 16:44 | <pharaun> | and if you are claiming that all crypto algo are compromised from the get go, what about the german's enigma machines? :> |
| 16:44 | <pharaun> | they were eventually compromised but they were secure for a while |
| 16:44 | <nosuchnick> | ofc, japan learned the hard way that some wind and rain tossed their house fer sure. |

| 17:16 | <Parallax> | Oneiric Ocelot |
| 17:17 | <vidak> | I want to disable other users to read files |
| 17:17 | <akerl> | vidak: Why? |
| 17:17 | <navi> | Parallax: Yes |
| 17:17 | <hawk> | Parallax: do-release-upgrade -d I would think |

| 17:17 | <navi> | Parallax: "Install the package update-manager-core if it is not already installed. Then execute the command sudo do-release-upgrade -d, and follow the on-screen instructions." |

| 17:18 | <vidak> | they can read other files |

| 17:18 | <Parallax> | Thanks guys |
| 17:18 | <pparadis> | np |
| 17:18 | <akerl> | vidak: Who owns your php files? |
| 17:18 | <vidak> | user is me and I set group to www-data |
| 17:19 | <akerl> | vidak: If you chown 700, php can't read the files... |
| 17:19 | <vidak> | GID 33 |
| 17:19 | <akerl> | vidak: Which makes it hard for php to, ya know, read the files. |
| 17:20 | <akerl> | vidak: Basically, if you want to host multiple sites, which can't read each other, you're going to need to look into a solution that allows php to use a different use for each site |
| 17:20 | <vidak> | akerl, ok |
| 17:20 | <vidak> | akerl, how to do that? |
| 17:21 | * | Knorrie thinks that's why vidak started about suphp, because that's the way to do that |
| 17:21 | <akerl> | Then, the files will be chowned to user=you, group=thatsite'sphp, with 750 permissions. So you can write, that site's php can read, nobody else can read/write |
| 17:21 | <akerl> | vidak: How are you currently running php? |

| 18:30 | <Steve^> | akerl, nothing really, I'm just understanding my boundaries |
| 18:30 | <akerl> | Then multiple IPs are very helpful. |
| 18:30 | <Steve^> | for what? |
| 18:30 | <navi> | Nivex: I've clearly stated a font I want it to use for subtitling in the .ass file. It's using a different one which doesn't have all the characters I'm trying to display. |
| 18:31 | <akerl> | Having multiple addresses? |
| 18:31 | <navi> | Nivex: I'm getting stabby. |
| 18:31 | <akerl> | Multiple SSL sites without SNI? Serving different sites on different IPs? Having multiple web servers both on port 80? |
| 18:31 | <Steve^> | all good reasons :) |
| 18:31 | <avenj> | plus think of all the irc vanity vhosts |
| 18:33 | <Steve^> | Lets say I wanted to switch to another linux and I couldn't have downtime (luckily I can and don't need to), I'd need to get a new Linode, set it up, then switch across, then can the old Linode? |
| 18:33 | <pparadis> | multiple web servers are easily accomplished with either ProxyPass in apache or by proxying back from nginx. |

| 18:44 | <pparadis> | you should be. |
| 18:45 | <Zr40> | Steve^: if they're really important, don't rely on a single backup |
| 18:45 | <pparadis> | $0.16/day is a super cheap price to pay for the linode backups, but you should always have offsite backups as well. |
| 18:45 | <pparadis> | the linode backups will get you back in action really quickly, and you've got the offsite stuff for the "meteor hit the datacenter" scenario. |
| 18:46 | <Steve^> | So the backup is saving the cost of having to configure a new linode |
| 18:46 | <Steve^> | which I admit, would be annoying |
| 18:47 | <pparadis> | yup, when you restore a backup, it gives you the full system as it was when it was backed up. |
| 18:47 | <Steve^> | how does it cope with databases and internal states and stuff? |
| 18:47 | <pparadis> | you need to do regular dumps for that stuff. |
| 18:47 | <akerl> | Steve^: It copes better if you dump your db to the node. |
| 18:47 | <hawk> | Steve^: It doesn't really, it takes a snapshot and snags the files from there |
| 18:48 | <Steve^> | hmm, so in the case of failure, I'll still be restoring MySQL from my own backups |
| 18:48 | <akerl> | Basically, the snapshot of a live database is going to suck, but the snapshot will save a dump of the database that is a file on the server |
| 18:48 | <pparadis> | it's entirely possible that your backup would be consistent, but you cannot guarantee that for databases and such, so the key truly is setting up a cron job to do dumps, which will be backed up fully consistently. |
| 18:49 | <hawk> | Steve^: Well, you can have your own backup be stored and restored with all the other files, but yes |
| 18:49 | <Zr40> | akerl: the backups page mentions '[performing] any database dumps', so I suspect it doesn't work from a snapshot |
| 18:49 | <akerl> | So if you're dumping the db regularly (automatically) for whatever backups you are already doing, the linode backup manager will save that |
| 18:49 | <Steve^> | and hope the database dump is consistent with the rest of the file dump |
| 18:49 | <akerl> | Zr40: ?? |
| 18:49 | <Zr40> | akerl: http://www.linode.com/backups/ |
| 18:49 | <pparadis> | also --> http://library.linode.com/linode-platform/backups |
| 18:49 | <akerl> | Zr40: If you have a cron job that dumps the db, the linode backup manager will snapshot the dump file just like all the other files |
| 18:50 | <Zr40> | akerl: of course. that's the point :P |
| 18:50 | <Zr40> | akerl: but it's a file copy, not an instant disk snapshot |
| 18:50 | <hawk> | Steve^: If you have some set of files that should be consistent with the db, then it starts to get a bit complex (regardless of how you back up) |
| 18:51 | <akerl> | Zr40: It will copy all your files, exactly as they were at one instant in time. |
| 18:51 | <akerl> | Zr40: If that's not a snapshot, I'm not sure what a snapshot it |
| 18:51 | <Steve^> | hawk, I'm thinking only of image uploads to a CMS |
| 18:51 | <akerl> | s/it/is/ |
| 18:51 | <pparadis> | of course, you're going to face the same exact problem with other backup methods as well. |
| 18:51 | <Zr40> | akerl: not necessarily. with the right timing you can change two files at the same moment such that the current backup only picks up one |
| 18:51 | <pparadis> | unless you're backing things up from a system that's shut down, of course. |
| 18:52 | <Steve^> | is the time of a Linode backup predictable? So that you can schedule other backups accordingly? |
| 18:52 | <Zr40> | Steve^: yes. |
| 18:52 | <hawk> | Steve^: Not quite |
| 18:52 | <pparadis> | Steve^: you can set it according to that library article. |
| 18:52 | <pparadis> | well, you can set a window. |
| 18:52 | <hawk> | Steve^: There's a time-frame of two hours that it should happen within |
| 18:52 | <hawk> | (is it two?) |

| 18:52 | <Steve^> | that's a fair while |
| 18:52 | <pparadis> | hey, just make sure you run your dumps before the window :) |
| 18:53 | <hawk> | pparadis: Steve^'s problem seems to be a set changing files that should be consistent with his db dump, though... |
| 18:54 | <Steve^> | yea |
| 18:54 | <pparadis> | certainly, there could be such scenarios. i'd say the answer would be that you would have to roll things back to that point in time. |
| 18:54 | <Steve^> | given that my files come from Linode and my db comes from my own cron |
| 18:54 | <pparadis> | to get around that, you might consider streaming updates to a slave DB server. |
| 18:54 | <Zr40> | workaround: tar the group of files you want to be backed up consistently, rename the tar once it's done tarring |
| 18:54 | <pparadis> | that requires another server, though. |
| 18:54 | <Zr40> | actually, ignore that |
| 18:55 | <Zr40> | the tarred files themselves can be changed while tarring |

| 19:08 | <GLaDOSDan> | CSS hates me; can anyone tell me how to fix "Graphics by..." being pushed to the right by the twitter logo on this page? http://gibehatspls.gladosdan.com |
| 19:09 | <GLaDOSDan> | if I remove the twitter logo, it aligns properly in the middle |
| 19:09 | <pharaun> | Zr40: don't forget to feather your files |
| 19:10 | <pharaun> | GLaDOSDan: not sure, my first thought would be to break it up into 2 divs one center, one right aligned, but there might be better way to do it |
| 19:11 | <GLaDOSDan> | hm |
| 19:11 | <GLaDOSDan> | let's see |
| 19:11 | <GLaDOSDan> | the left align div is inside the center div |
| 19:11 | <GLaDOSDan> | otherwise twitter logo is above/below the text, not floating alongside |
| 19:11 | <pharaun> | GLaDOSDan: erhm left aligned i mean, not right :) |
| 19:12 | <pharaun> | think of it like 2 box, one with the twitter logo, other box with everything else in it and that floated right |
| 19:12 | <jtsage> | GLaDOSDan: throw a negative right margin on the image div - it's pusing the text... ( margin-right: -118px will do it in chrome, ymmv in other browsers) |
| 19:13 | <GLaDOSDan> | I'll try that |
| 19:13 | <pharaun> | would need to tweak that, i prefer to use em myself but eh |
| 19:13 | <GLaDOSDan> | (ymmv?) |
| 19:13 | <Zr40> | GLaDOSDan: the logo has float:left. because the third line starts below the float the left side isn't pushed by the float |
| 19:13 | <pharaun> | your mileage may vary |
| 19:13 | <GLaDOSDan> | oh |
| 19:13 | <jtsage> | pharaun: aye, I do love the em too, but as it's an image, it does have a (probably) fixed size :) |
| 19:14 | <pharaun> | jtsage: true |
| 19:14 | <GLaDOSDan> | so uhm, what am I doing here |
| 19:14 | <GLaDOSDan> | negative right margin? |
| 19:14 | <pharaun> | GLaDOSDan: yes, just do margin-right and put a negative value |
| 19:14 | <pharaun> | off you go |
| 19:15 | <GLaDOSDan> | perfect |
| 19:15 | <GLaDOSDan> | :D |

| 19:16 | <GLaDOSDan> | not sure if I can be bothered to do anything about that |
| 19:16 | <GLaDOSDan> | I probably...should |
| 19:17 | <pharaun> | GLaDOSDan: you should :p |
| 19:17 | <jtsage> | media queries ftw... |
| 19:17 | <pharaun> | haven't done that yet on my site |
| 19:17 | <GLaDOSDan> | (we're talking about the footer here right) |
| 19:17 | <pharaun> | its restricted to ~40em wide at the min i think, need to look into how to deal with it on the iphone/other |
| 19:17 | <jtsage> | at this point. my OCD would eventually generate a smaller version of the header image too :) |
| 19:17 | <Zr40> | GLaDOSDan: right |
| 19:20 | <Zr40> | would setting min-weight to the header width on body break anything? |
| 19:21 | <Zr40> | min-width* |
| 19:21 | <GLaDOSDan> | uh |
| 19:21 | <GLaDOSDan> | probably |
| 19:22 | <Zr40> | results in http://cl.ly/87Kk on a desktop browser |
| 19:22 | <GLaDOSDan> | oh that does fix it |
| 19:22 | <GLaDOSDan> | what did you do there? |
| 19:23 | <Parallax> | what is that? |
| 19:23 | <Zr40> | I set min-width:700px on body |
| 19:23 | <jtsage> | ew. then there is side scroll. better to wrap the twitter image div in a class, and not float it on narrow displays. |
| 19:23 | <Zr40> | 700px being the header image width |
| 19:24 | <GLaDOSDan> | i'm not really bothered about side scrolling, on smaller resolutions the application requires side scrolling anyway |
| 19:24 | <pharaun> | yeah, i did set a min-width: 40em; on my site i think but that's cos i haven't figure out how to deal with narrow browser like iphones yet :\ |

| 19:26 | <Steve^> | phones lie horrendously about their display sizes and then zoom |
| 19:27 | <Zr40> | Steve^: you can set some viewport settings to prevent that |
| 19:27 | <pharaun> | yes but can't you detect those with media-type ? |
| 19:27 | <pharaun> | and serve up a modified css to better work with them? |
| 19:27 | <Steve^> | kind of |
| 19:28 | <Steve^> | the end result is only with a massive headache |

| 19:28 | <pharaun> | ah :\ i've managed to for most part avoid javascript on my site |
| 19:29 | <pharaun> | its ok down to about the width of the menubar and then i put in min-width to stop it from shrinking further cos it goes all wonky |

| 19:29 | <Zr40> | Steve^: http://furbo.org/2007/07/24/one-line-of-code/ |
| 19:29 | <Steve^> | the problem is that they lie, there is some scaling property you can mess with, but in the examples I was shown there was no solution |
| 19:30 | <Steve^> | oh I remember |
| 19:30 | <Steve^> | tablets were the problem |
| 19:30 | <pharaun> | how so? i thought the ipad was like 1024x768 just flipped around |
| 19:31 | <Steve^> | This is coming from memory of a demo |
| 19:31 | <Zr40> | pharaun: it's 1024x768 or 768x1024 depending on how you hold it |
| 19:31 | <Steve^> | but I think that tablets and phones may identify themselves in similar ways, but you want completely different results |
| 19:32 | <Steve^> | it's saved because desktop browsers ignore the scaling parameters, as they are always one screen pixel to one page pixel |
| 19:32 | <pharaun> | Zr40: that's what i mean by the flipped around cos the normal way that i usually see it is with that... button thing on the bottm |
| 19:32 | <Steve^> | whereas on a phone the zoom gives many page pixels to a single screen pixel |
| 19:32 | <pharaun> | Steve^: ah |
| 19:32 | <Steve^> | I should test it myself.. if I had a tablet |

| 20:56 | <mig5> | if you want debian + ipv6 you will *need* a kernel higher than 2.6.18 if you want to do ipv6 conntrack'ing |
| 20:56 | <Zr40> | I've noticed I'm getting AAAA records for Google... because my tunnel server failed last week :P |

| 20:57 | <HoopyCat> | worst part is that if this turns out to be a bad idea and i accidentally the whole system, !facepalm won't work |
| 20:57 | <pharaun> | btw do i need to actually do a reboot again? my node is currently offline so i can do the disk stuff |
| 20:57 | <chesty> | rather flatuous eh @ HoopyCat |
| 20:58 | <Zr40> | pharaun: probably not |
| 20:58 | <pharaun> | >:( it just booted it up, ah well |
| 20:58 | <Zr40> | pharaun: unless you turn it on before enabling ipv6 |
| 20:58 | <HoopyCat> | chesty: it's the least i could do to indicate the presence of organic life |

| 21:01 | <Nivex> | huzzah! |
| 21:01 | <eyecool> | a whole bunch of them |
| 21:02 | <pharaun> | do we get the 4096 ipv6 when we hit the button in the manger or do we still need to ticket for that? |
| 21:02 | <Zr40> | pharaun: ticket, according to http://www.linode.com/IPv6/ |
| 21:02 | <pharaun> | that's what i figured |

| 21:02 | <Nivex> | remember folks, two of oftc's three ipv6 IRC nodes are in linode data centers, so connecting to them from a linode in the same DC doesn't count against your transfer quota :) |
| 21:02 | <Zr40> | pharaun: but if there's a button, that page might be outdated |
| 21:03 | <Zr40> | Nivex: it's not like IRC requires a ton of data |
| 21:03 | <pharaun> | yeah there is a button to request ipv6 but i don't see one for the 4096 ones... guess i'll ticket to be safe |

| 23:24 | <akerl> | The DNS and the server? |
| 23:24 | <zap151> | yup.. |
| 23:24 | <zap151> | I have a 4 GB wp backup file,which I moved from my ex-host provider. |
| 23:25 | <zap151> | I need to move the site to my ne linode. |
| 23:25 | <akerl> | Did you configure your domains (at the registrar's site) to point to linode's nameservers |
| 23:25 | <zap151> | yup . |
| 23:25 | <akerl> | And you configured the linode dns manager so that the necessary hostnames point to your node's IP? |
| 23:26 | <zap151> | nope. |
| 23:26 | <akerl> | That'd be the next step then. |
| 23:27 | <zap151> | Okay,I finished it. |
| 23:27 | <zap151> | Do I have to create a Cname record as well ? |
| 23:27 | <zap151> | the A record points to the node's IP. |
| 23:27 | <synapt> | Can't have a CNAME and an A record |
| 23:27 | <synapt> | it's "bad mojo" |

| 23:28 | <zap151> | I have my A record set up. |
| 23:29 | <akerl> | Then you're gonna want to wait for the dns records to update (happens on each quarter hour), and try to connect to your site |
| 23:29 | <zap151> | and then where do I go to get to see my WP files ? |

| 23:29 | <zap151> | I previously used a Cpanel,I didnt find anything in linode. |
| 23:30 | <akerl> | zap151: You need to ssh into your linode. |
| 23:30 | <zap151> | Do I have to set up ispconfig ? |
| 23:30 | <zap151> | okay,and then ? |
| 23:30 | <JoeK> | caker: you use weak xeons :P |
| 23:30 | <akerl> | You can, but realistically you're better off learning to use the terminal to admin your server |

| 23:31 | <zap151> | I am total noob to Linux ..:\ |
| 23:31 | <pparadis> | zap151: http://library.linode.com/using-linux <-- this stuff might be really helpful |

| 23:31 | <zap151> | thanks :) |
| 23:31 | <pparadis> | <3 |
| 23:32 | <zap151> | any other guides to help me administer my site using the terminal ? |
| 23:32 | <akerl> | Yup. It's really not that hard to learn. It's gonna take some effort, but it's better in the long term rather than using a GUI, and not knowing how to fix things when they go wrong. |
| 23:32 | <pparadis> | zap151: the stuff in that category is all super helpful basic info, including using the terminal. |
| 23:32 | <akerl> | zap151: Basically, the linode library covers how to install and configure all the basic services, with guides on updating packages and ssh keys and the like |
| 23:32 | <pparadis> | the rest of the library will give you step by step instructions on configuring tons of stuff once you've got the basics down. |
| 23:33 | <zap151> | okay..:) |
| 23:33 | <zap151> | Thanks for the help. |
| 23:33 | <pparadis> | we all started somewhere, nobody (that i'm aware of at least) was born knowing this stuff :) |
| 23:33 | <zap151> | Btw,off topic query: What is the avg age of a linode client ? |
| 23:33 | <pparadis> | 18 - 9001 |
| 23:34 | <zap151> | Gee..Nice! |
| 23:34 | <pparadis> | seriously, linode customers come in all shapes and sizes :) |
| 23:34 | <akerl> | zap151: Not really a published statistic. But linode users run the whole spectrum of demographics |
| 23:34 | <zap151> | I am 18 and Was feeling totally lost :D |
| 23:34 | <pparadis> | plenty of young folks around here, trust me :) |
| 23:34 | <zap151> | Makes me feel better :) |
| 23:35 | <zap151> | G2g,Will ping if I need any help :) |
