01:55:26<imer>gotta say though, that is amazing if your server actually just up and kills itself. wake up in the morning and there'll be an email "yeah a tech did a hard reset and it booted" (assuming that's still how that works, no issues with my sole remaining dedi in years)

20:12:22<jasonswohl>soooo im having myself some special derpage going on at the moment trying to get anon SFTP service running on my ubuntu seed box....... Any chance someone could give me an example /etc/vsftpd.conf file for reference?
20:15:29<@JAA>vsftpd doesn't support SFTP, does it?
20:15:41<fireonlive>i just searched it it doesn't seem so
20:15:45<@JAA>I'm pretty sure it's exclusively an FTP server.
20:15:51<@JAA>So FTP and FTPS, but no SFTP.
20:16:50<jasonswohl>using winscp it allowed me to connect via sftp with a username
20:16:52<@JAA>Anonymous SFTP also doesn't sound like a great idea in general to me.
20:17:06<jasonswohl>not something i'd leave open 24/7 :) @jaa
20:17:28<fireonlive>hmm you sure it's not just connecting to your existing ssh server?
20:17:47<jasonswohl>oooo, w/ the username i was using, sounds about right fireonlive
20:17:57<jasonswohl>when i try with the FTP account it give me......
20:17:59<@JAA>Yeah, SFTP is always SSH.
20:18:31<jasonswohl>access denied
20:19:13<jasonswohl>and, i tried plain ole FTP, but got access denied, even though the firewall is completely off, and set (via webmin) and check UFW status to accept all connections
20:19:14<fireonlive>if you want something easy peasy lemon squeezey there's always rclone serve: https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve/
20:20:28<jasonswohl>so, i could use that to via FTP serve lets say a SMB share anon?
20:23:26<fireonlive>i mean technically rclone seems to support SMB
20:23:34<fireonlive>could just be a local directory as well
20:24:09<fireonlive>but vsftpd if you already have it installed would probably work fine (depending on what you're doing... something over the lan?)
20:24:23<jasonswohl>ok, imma stubornly keep prodding at trying to get vsftpd to work for a bit, then if i give up.... will use that
20:25:07<jasonswohl>i'm using this so when the need arrises friends of mine can u/l or d/l stuff to/from me (download is very rare, as most of the time its just on my plex server anyway)
20:25:57<jasonswohl>and, i'd normally just give them creds to RDP to another box and u/l that way, but RDP uploads are shitty at best as i think we all know
20:26:57<jasonswohl>AND, if it's at all a comfort, the box i'd allow anon access has absolutely no access to my "prod" network, just my minecraft server, and my transmission ubuntu host

21:29:21<jasonswohl>rewby FavoritoHJS once apon a time there was such a thing as archival DVDs that were slated to be able to last 100 years
21:29:37<@rewby>Yeah I don't believe that
21:29:43<@rewby>We've seen what happens to cds and dvds
21:30:04<jasonswohl>and, if you were in a real big pince/parranoid, i spose you could print hexadecimal text in an optimal OCR font, and.....do it that way
21:30:10<jasonswohl>@rewby 100% agreed
21:30:30<@JAA>LTO is intended to have a shelf storage lifetime of 30 years IIRC.
21:30:31<FavoritoHJS>iirc what tends to kill cdr's is the dye decaying, so if you avoid that you could get more shelf life
21:30:41<jasonswohl>https://www.mdisc.com/
21:30:42<FavoritoHJS>but not 100 years except in ideal conditions
21:30:54<FavoritoHJS>the plastic will probably decay in that time
21:30:59<@JAA>Blu-rays probably easily last decades, unless you use one of those weird ones with organic dyes.
21:31:28<@JAA>(M-Disc Blu-rays are a scam.)
21:31:33<@arkiver>organic dye?
21:31:43<@arkiver>didn't hear about that and a bluray, any info on that?
21:31:48<fireonlive>ah i heard about that
21:31:58<fireonlive>the 'not real M-Disc's or something
21:32:12<@JAA>BD-R LTH use organic dyes.
21:32:24<jasonswohl>havent looked into that "tech" in a long long time
21:32:25<@JAA>All other Blu-rays don't.
21:32:53<@JAA>The entire argument about why M-Discs last longer is the replacement of organic dyes with inorganic ones which are more stable. Which makes sense for DVDs and is complete bullshit for Blu-rays.
21:33:05<fireonlive>there's this this channel I poke at every now and then: https://www.youtube.com/@PeriscopeFilm
21:33:49<nicolas17>https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2023/07/05/why-does-the-u-s-copyright-office-require-libraries-to-lie-to-users-about-their-fair-use-rights-they-wont-say/
21:33:54<fireonlive>all their stuff is licensed.. but there's exceptions anwyays they go around trolling for old film and scan what they can but yeah there's a lot that doens't make it https://periscopefilm.com
21:34:05<razul>How long should Blurays last?
21:34:09<@JAA>BD-R LTH exists only so that manufacturers could reuse some of their DVD equipment. I'm not even sure they're considerably cheaper.
21:34:28<@arkiver>ah interesting
21:35:04<@JAA>razul: There's nothing official I think, but somewhere between decades and a couple centuries are numbers I've seen.
21:35:32<@JAA>Well, some manufacturers have claims of course.
21:35:42<@JAA>The harder issue will be finding a working Blu-ray drive in 2200.
21:35:51<jasonswohl>fireonlive i've enjoyed an amount of hours from the periscope channel
21:36:03<jasonswohl>JAA omg.....right?!
21:36:46<fireonlive>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhJIIhxng_A 'Last year the Periscope Film team performed an emergency rescue of a gigantic collection of films — right before they headed to a landfill. Today we're sharing the story of this herculean effort, and about what we do in general, the how and the why (in case you were curious!).'
21:36:47<@JAA>In general, data preservation in the form of 'just stick it in a time capsule and never touch it again' doesn't work at scale yet.
21:36:57<fireonlive>lots of stuff just runs off to the landfill it seems lol
21:36:59<@arkiver>not yet no
21:37:08<@JAA>There are technologies for it, but $$$$$$$$$$ or so.
21:37:26<@arkiver>also specs usually stay preserved, but it might be very expensive to manufacture another bluray drive reader if almost all others are gone/dead
21:37:27<fireonlive>interestring that the inorganic ones don't make a difference
21:37:36<jasonswohl>for the preservation is indeed expensive especially for older formats
21:37:42<fireonlive>but yeah, finding a bluray drive and something to use it way later...
21:37:54<fireonlive>s/use/interface with/
21:37:57<jasonswohl>very interesting indeed, i'd imagine its something along the lines of the wavelength/tolerances needed
21:38:44<jasonswohl>arkiver yeah, exactly. Sure, we knew how they used to be built..... but mfging them again is an entirely other story
21:38:46<@JAA>Arch Mission is one that got some publicity a few years ago when it was shot into space with the first Falcon Heavy.
21:38:52<@JAA>Something something '5D storage'
21:39:46<jasonswohl>JAA prett cool
21:39:56<@JAA>fireonlive: What do you mean by 'inorganic ones don't make a difference'?
21:40:01<jasonswohl>then again we have the records sent out on the voyagers :)
21:40:19<fireonlive>oh you said that swapping out organic dyes on bluray is bs
21:40:47<@JAA>Yeah, because there are no organic dyes on Blu-rays to swap out.
21:40:54<@JAA>Except on those weird discs nobody uses.
21:41:16<fireonlive>ah!
21:41:49<@JAA>DVDs used organic dyes, so replacing them is what made M-Disc DVDs so much more stable.
21:42:00<fireonlive>when bluray came about i had stopped using optical media whatsoever
21:42:18<jasonswohl>fireonlive just about the same here
21:42:21<@JAA>Blu-rays don't (except for LTH), so M-Disc Blu-rays might as well just be normal Blu-rays from a decent manufacturer.
21:42:21<fireonlive>osc. dvd for an os install maybe but yeah
21:42:38<jasonswohl>JAA do blu ray disks not use organic dyes?
21:42:57<@JAA>That's what I've been saying for ten minutes, yes.
21:43:13<jasonswohl>JAA my bad :( thought as much
21:43:17<@JAA>BD-R LTH are the only Blu-rays that use organic dyes, so avoid them if you care about longevity.
21:43:38<jasonswohl>fireonlive the second i realized i could install from USB.....never burned a dvd again for os install :)
21:43:50<@JAA>But you'd probably have to search for them specifically to even find them these days.
21:43:57<@JAA>I haven't come across any in quite some time.
21:43:58<@rewby>Always have a flashdrive with netboot.xyz on it with me
21:44:04<jasonswohl>JAA fair enough and def good to know
21:45:30<jasonswohl>rewby is that the one that allows selecting specific ISO to boot from on same flash drive?
21:45:37<@JAA>Searching Amazon for "BD-R LTH" returns normal BD-Rs, so yeah... :-)
21:45:53<@JAA>More of an obscure fun fact these days I guess.
21:45:55<@rewby>jasonswohl: No. It's a special flashdrive that can netboot basically any linux or windows installer
21:46:33<@rewby>Personal favs on their list are the debian, ubuntu and arch isos
21:46:40<@rewby>The arch one especially is a great debug tool
21:46:46<jasonswohl>rewby opened in a tab ty for info
21:47:01<jasonswohl>@jaa i'd say we all love those types of facts
21:47:34<@JAA>rewby: Neat, unless you're trying to debug a network issue, I guess.
21:48:29<@rewby>JAA: Network issues can best be debugged from within the main OS of a m achine. But this is very useful if you're handed a box and told "make the drives work" or "fix this bootloader" or "this needs an OS"
21:48:42<@rewby>arch isos in particular are personal favorite debugging tools
21:48:46<@rewby>Drop you straight into a shell
21:48:52<@rewby>Has a ton of useful tools built in
21:48:57<@rewby>Can easily fetch more
21:49:07<@JAA>I remember fighting with a machine where the OS didn't want to boot when the network card was installed. :-)
21:49:08<@rewby>And loads itself into a ramdisk
21:49:13<@rewby>So very nice over slow ipmis
21:49:20<razul>Finally someone who knows about netboot.xyz. It is awesome.
21:49:31<@rewby>JAA: Ah yes, but then you're not debugging a network issue, but a hardware issue
21:49:32<razul>pxe over internet, such an awesome concept.
21:49:52<@JAA>But yeah, definitely looks useful, and it's tiny, so I'll throw it on one of those ancient tiny USB sticks I have lying around anyway.
21:49:56<@JAA>Thanks!
21:50:00<jasonswohl>i tried to have a friend boot from my FOG server over S2S once......... didn't go well lol
21:50:04<@rewby>Yeah, it's like 10MB at most
21:50:06<@rewby>Very small
21:50:11<@rewby>I have it on a 500MB drive
21:50:21<@JAA>https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz.img is under 2 MiB.
21:50:33<@rewby>All it is is ipxe that chainloads the rest of the UI from their central server
21:50:36<jasonswohl>thats actually super cool
21:51:03<razul>I have never not had it work.
21:51:13<@rewby>I have once, but it was on hardware that was screwy
21:51:24<@rewby>Like, very screwy
21:51:34<@rewby>It couldn't load an OS from any disk eitehr
21:51:37<fireonlive>ah that's nice :)
21:51:46<@rewby>But is very much a tool to just have on hand
21:52:02<fireonlive>there was some other tool that just went PXE as well... ventoy?
21:52:03<@rewby>When deploying new servers at work, netboot.xyz all the way
21:52:18<fireonlive>https://www.iventoy.com/en/index.html
21:52:21<@rewby>(Mind you, I don't spin up physical often, most of it's virtual)
21:52:32<fireonlive>yee mostly virtual these days too
21:52:39<@rewby>(I have... maybe 10 physical servers. Not enough to warrant a custom PXE setup.)
21:52:41<fireonlive>for servers anyways :D
21:52:50<razul>You can also host your own Docker and build it so it boots from that with netboot.xyz
21:53:04<razul>https://netboot.xyz/docs/selfhosting/
21:53:08<@rewby>The new physical system is very spicy, but I'm not finished setting that up yet
21:53:12<fireonlive>i should check that out
21:53:28<@rewby>But having a tray of ram on your desk and realizing "this is 1.5TB of ram in my hands" is an experience
21:53:33<fireonlive>:D
21:54:19<razul>At my previous job, we had a VM with 1.5TB, that's as weird as that.
21:54:41<@rewby>Another good time was the time I did some freelance work doing a rack build and realising the router I was disassembling (I needed inside pics for insurance because reasons) was 25k
21:55:00<@rewby>Like, bruh, we didn't even turn it on before taking it apart
21:55:06<@rewby>(I may have made a Dave Jones reference)
21:55:22<jasonswohl>rewby thats awesome
21:55:26<fireonlive>ayyy Dave Jones!
21:55:34<@rewby>Don't turn it on, take it apart!
21:55:37<fireonlive>:)
21:55:43<jasonswohl>most expensive i ever handled was a fairly fully loaded 12th gen vrtx
21:55:59<fireonlive>https://www.youtube.com/@EEVblog for the rest of ya
21:56:31<jasonswohl>fireonlive love that channel! did you see the vids about the deep space network?!
21:56:43<fireonlive>haven't yet :3
21:56:46<fireonlive>but looks interesting
21:57:23<jasonswohl>extrodinarily so IMO. TIckles all of the points, mechanical, electronic, and space
21:58:25<fireonlive>^_^
21:58:57<@rewby>I want an vrtx eventually
21:59:04<@rewby>I just love the concept of multinode systems
21:59:36<jasonswohl>rewby i'm in the same camp, but, have kinda learned a bit of a hatred of dell b/s
21:59:45<@rewby>What's so bad about dell?
21:59:46<fireonlive>'UPDATE: SpongeBob’s Sailer Mouth was not in the #NickelodeonGigaLeak Nor on Nick's Servers its most likely on a physical tape and or destroyed' oh no
21:59:49<@rewby>Significantly better than HP
21:59:57<@rewby>Supermicro is really nice. But expensive in EU
22:00:05etnguyen03 quits [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
22:00:31<jasonswohl>rewby i've only ever dealt w/ 11th gen in homelab, or 12th gen stuff for work, really cumbersome, can be a pain to do upgrades
22:00:42<razul>You also have IBM Power, but it's expensive as hell as well.
22:00:42<@rewby>jasonswohl: Trust me. HP is significantly worse
22:00:56<jasonswohl>rewby fair enough upgrades for me are a ways off, have to do research
22:00:57<jamesp>fireonlive: is sailer mouth a lost episode?
22:01:04<jasonswohl>rewby good to no
22:01:29<@rewby>jasonswohl: HP locks their updates behind a paywall. Dell will just give you updates and drivers with the service tag
22:01:47<@rewby>And sure, the idracs have licensing stuff. But that's easy to hack around in a homelab setting
22:01:55<@rewby>HP has that too, but harder to break
22:01:56<jasonswohl>rewby yeah, got an HP switch awhile ago.......... same shiz
22:02:09<fireonlive>jamesp: it's one where the characters swear a lot, and they couldn't really make the 'takes' work without actually swearing (they were always going to censor it but it didn't flow well)
22:02:20<@rewby>Supermicro is pretty nice. Their stuff is mostly generic and just works. But also, expensive in EU
22:02:47<@rewby>There's like 5 companies that vend supermicro here
22:02:52<@rewby>And at least one of them I know is shit
22:02:59<jamesp>oh. definitely wouldn't fit for a kid show anyway
22:03:03<fireonlive>jamesp: but the voice of spongebob confirmed that they actually did all do a giant cursing session and the 'uncensored version' has been sought after ever since
22:03:07<fireonlive>indeed
22:03:15<@rewby>Because I took delivery of a supermicro from them and uh... There were loose screws banging around the inside, parts of it weren't installed properly, etc
22:03:36<jasonswohl>thats some BS
22:03:38<@rewby>On a multinode chassis didn't even install the nodes in the right slots
22:03:46<fireonlive>rewby: o_O wow
22:03:48<jamesp>maybe that's why it didn't end up in the leak, because it was probably too much
22:03:52<@rewby>Sure, technically you can put any node in any slot
22:04:00<fireonlive>jamesp: could be ye
22:04:04<@rewby>But if you tell us "these macs are gonna be in these slots"
22:04:19<@rewby>then the provisioning system is gonna be upset when the wiring doesn't match up
22:04:34<jamesp>unless someone finds the tape (unless it snapped) then leaks it on the internet
22:04:36<fireonlive>the leaker (500GB in total) didn't just do a torrent dump; just kinda drip fed stuff slowly from what I can make out
22:04:38<FavoritoHJS>leaker: you cannot handle the spongebob swearing episode
22:05:38<fireonlive>it was posted on the Internet Archive after as a complete kinda collection but ofc it was DMCA'd right away
22:05:58<jasonswohl>of course it was
22:06:01<fireonlive>root cause seems to be.... opendirectory on a nick server lol
22:06:09<fireonlive>but not sure
22:06:53<@rewby>It's gonna be fun next week actually. New interns will get to discover the small lab I've built on a table. The numbers on those servers tend to blow people's minds
22:07:24<fireonlive>^_^
22:07:31<fireonlive>sounds like a fun workplace
22:07:39<@rewby>Well, they start next week

22:18:42<@rewby>At home I still run 1G everything
22:18:49<@rewby>Although my colo has 10G
22:19:26<@rewby>But like, even my desktop is an old server
22:19:34<@rewby>I rock a T430 as a desktop :P
22:20:09<@rewby>(A Dell T430 that is)
22:20:10<jasonswohl>yeah, i'd imagine EU prices, kind of suck. You have your own rackspace in a colo? thats pretty sick. I'm just too cheap. Although with elec prices and running an R510 another whitebox thats about the same age and a total of 14 platter drives, elec costs are getting there
22:20:33<@rewby>An R510 is significantly older
22:20:38<@rewby>And much more power inefficient

22:21:05<@rewby>That is network, power, etc
22:21:16<fireonlive>oh not bad
22:21:29<@rewby>And I have a second colo in a friend's rack where I pay very very little.
22:21:33<fireonlive>what do you have running there?
22:21:34<jasonswohl>rewby how much stuff do you have deployed?
22:21:37<jasonswohl>lol
22:21:49<@rewby>jasonswohl: Too much lolo
22:22:13<razul>Which colo? I've been with a colo as well in the past in NL, but can't get the name
22:22:22<jasonswohl>lolz, do you use an entire rack?
22:22:30<@rewby>fireonlive: At the moment it's an old HP DL160G6, I'm working on a box to replace it and also consolidate my homelab into it (currently my power pricing is rent included, not for much longer)

22:27:52<@rewby>That's fairly cheap
22:28:15<jasonswohl>yeah, agreed entirely
22:28:23<fireonlive>4U desktop, nice
22:28:39<@rewby>Like, sure, it's an E5-2673v3 isn't the most modern cpu ever
22:28:51<@rewby>But it works amazingly well
22:29:02<@rewby>And it's still very respectable
22:29:08<jasonswohl>i'm rocking a phenom x2 8 core 16gm ram and a GTX970 in my desktop for now
22:29:29<@rewby>I used to live off of an laptop with an i7-6700HQ and a Quadro M1000M
22:29:32<@rewby>And 16G ram
22:29:34<@rewby>Yeahhhhh no
22:29:38<@rewby>Could not keep up anymore
22:29:45<@rewby>And when the cooling started to fail I had to get something else
22:29:52<@rewby>But I'd run it into swap regularly
22:30:12<jasonswohl>ah, that suks. And wow, a daily linux driver i take it?
22:30:13<@rewby>Even right now, my desktop is sat at 12G used. Doing very little
22:30:16<@rewby>Yep
22:30:32<@rewby>I spend my days doing sysadmin
22:30:34<@rewby>Easier on linux
22:30:36<jasonswohl>i've had 1/2 the desire to go about switching but...... lots of work
22:30:46<fireonlive>i have 16GB used, and 22GB swap used at the moment
22:30:49<fireonlive>my laptop is crying in pain
22:30:51<@rewby>I've been on linux for like 8 years, if not more
22:31:02<@rewby>Yeah so, this is why having 64G is nice
22:31:05<fireonlive>the browser tabs can't hold on much longer
22:31:08<@rewby>I can just not give a fuck
22:31:12<fireonlive>yeah next laptop i'm maxing out the ram lmao
22:31:14<jasonswohl>i've done a bit of sysadmin, did a lil while as a unix admin but, mostly almost entirely its all been windows admin
22:31:31<@rewby>Ah yeah, I work in a linux and bsd shop
22:31:32<jasonswohl>lol fireonlive
22:31:47<@rewby>And my own stuff is all linux
22:31:57<fireonlive>i love my macos stuff uwu
22:32:02<fireonlive>but servers all linux
22:32:09<jasonswohl>i do run a couple ubuntu VMs (plex/transmission)
22:33:16<jasonswohl>this 2012R2 server i'm chatting from is sitting @9gb ram used, with nothing really going on at all other then a decent amount of chrome tabs, and utorrent
22:34:03<fireonlive>transmission only for getting the latest version of ubuntu the fastest you can, and helping others get ubuntu faster right?
22:34:25<jasonswohl>fireonlive o yeah, of course, just linux isos :)
22:35:28<@JAA>fireonlive: The nice thing about running Linux rather than macOS is that you don't pay 150% Apple tax. ;-)
22:35:54<@JAA>I imagine a Macbook with maximum RAM is $$$$$.
22:36:18<fireonlive>yeaaaaah yikes
22:36:22<fireonlive>the ram upgrades are X_X
22:36:22<jasonswohl>@jaa 150% for apple ram tax is i think an understatement
22:36:27<jasonswohl>https://imgur.com/VKOgR7x
22:36:35<jasonswohl>getting fiber has helped w/ upload for sure :)
22:36:42<@JAA>I was thinking whole system, but yeah, the RAM pricing is funny.
22:37:41<jasonswohl>@jaa i actually saw an LTT vid awhile ago, when they were still intel, if you compared like spec to like spec, wasn't too much more for apple, but then start to do the upgrades and BAM! huge taxes
22:38:02<@JAA>Ah

22:38:25<fireonlive>^ upgrade prices on the new M2 air
22:38:25<@JAA>lol
22:39:00<jasonswohl>thats a bit nuts lol
22:39:27<jasonswohl>imo ram is slightly more justifiable nowadays as its on package isnt it?

22:40:29<fireonlive>ye it's all in the chip
22:40:33<@JAA>All I need to upgrade my RAM is a screwdriver.
22:40:36<fireonlive>er the SOC
22:40:48<jasonswohl>fireonlive right o
22:40:54<fireonlive>all i need to upgrade my mood is a screwdriver :D
22:41:04<jasonswohl>@jaa :) the way it should be of course
22:41:17<jasonswohl>fireonlive lol!
22:41:46<@JAA>Although my laptop is actually slightly weird, it has 4 GB soldered to the board and another 8 GB removable module.
22:42:04<jasonswohl>JAA thats kind of fuckin weird. What is it?!
22:42:23<@JAA>ThinkPad T450s
22:42:39<jasonswohl>o man! :(
22:42:44<@JAA>It also has a built-in battery and a removable battery.
22:42:45<@JAA>Fun stuff.
22:43:07<jasonswohl>i have the non S lol!
22:43:25<jasonswohl>no longer my primary laptop though
22:44:02<DigitalDragon>Laptop: I'm playing both sides so I always come out on top
22:44:26<@JAA>Heh
22:45:01<@JAA>Ah right, the T450 is the slightly cheaper version.
22:45:30FavoritoHJS quits [Remote host closed the connection]
22:46:13<@JAA>It's still my main driver. One key broke recently, otherwise everything's perfect.
22:48:34<Barto>i still rock a good old t430 lol
22:50:15<@rewby>I'm rocking a different kind of T430
22:52:14<@JAA>Huh, turns out I actually can't upgrade my memory because no suitable modules exist on the market.
22:53:09<@JAA>Or at least hard to find.
22:54:20<@JAA>Not that I need one, I'm fine with these 12 GB for something that's mostly just used to SSH into servers.

23:09:14<@JAA>fireonlive: No, one of the few redundant keys on the keyboard (shift), but still very annoying.
23:09:48<@JAA>Already replaced it though. :-)
23:34:19<fireonlive>ah :)
23:35:38<fireonlive>i still find myself opening apollo every so often :o
23:35:44<fireonlive>hard habit to break i guess
23:35:55<jasonswohl>fireonlive lolz, understandable
23:37:15<fireonlive>apparently i’ve had it for 5 years, so yeah 😅
