| schestowitz | The Funkenbusch troll/shill has a new mail header: "X-Fuck-Off-Roy: Always" | Feb 02 00:03 |

| twitter | bad analogy. It's like rude people being rude. | Feb 02 00:55 |

| twitter | they have invaded the forums for that exact purpose. | Feb 02 00:56 |

|---|
| schestowitz | But I'm waiting for the host to bring back up the main DB | Feb 02 08:56 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The issue is, the DB is still hammers, even on a Sunday night | Feb 02 08:56 |

| schestowitz | The site is bonkers right now, so I can't make new posts until it 'calms down' | Feb 02 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I need your advice | Feb 02 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Let me paste something | Feb 02 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | <schestowitz> I reckon the host (and I'm guessing here) took the old DB down deliberately | Feb 02 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | <schestowitz> No mysql error I think | Feb 02 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | <schestowitz> It occurred to while at the gym... | Feb 02 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | <schestowitz> I mean, the night before they took the whole thing offline | Feb 02 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | <schestowitz> I've been thnking... maybe the host manually disabled the DB because of all the traffic | Feb 02 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | <schestowitz> In which case it would explain what I was seeing | Feb 02 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | <schestowitz> But would they shoot first, tell us later? | Feb 02 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | <schestowitz> I don't know.. | Feb 02 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | <schestowitz> Let me check it again. | Feb 02 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | <schestowitz> DB still not there.. :-S | Feb 02 09:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm2: the third DB I could manage to upload eventually from Opera on Fedora | Feb 02 09:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | So I have the archives up | Feb 02 09:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Question is: given the load, did the host disable the DB? | Feb 02 09:07 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | schestowitz : i saw lot of emails between Microsoft employees in boycottnovell how did u managed to get it? In my school ,i am asking a Microsoft student partner to forward the mails M$ has sent to them..but she is keep on refusing ........ | Feb 02 09:08 |

| schestowitz | Ask the school about EDGI or escalate to higher level where they sign MOUs | Feb 02 09:09 |

| oiaohm2 | schestowitz: its possable but is possable mysql broke too. | Feb 02 09:09 |
|---|
| schestowitz | MOU=Memorandum of Understanding (Microsoft calls it Project Marshall) internally. its goal being to lock out competition... | Feb 02 09:09 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm2: they rebooted just at the same time | Feb 02 09:10 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Server could have rebooted at the wrong time too halfway threw a mysql write. | Feb 02 09:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The mysql server (not just this DB) has been "running" only since I lost the access to the DB | Feb 02 09:10 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | So breaking the database. | Feb 02 09:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Ahh... | Feb 02 09:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm2: can this be recovered? | Feb 02 09:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | By admins? | Feb 02 09:11 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Most cases yes last write will be lost of course. | Feb 02 09:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Or should I go on with the clean copy from backup? | Feb 02 09:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm2: being a Sunday, no word from the host | Feb 02 09:11 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Normally my play from here is prepare the clean copy. | Feb 02 09:12 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Prepare in what sense? | Feb 02 09:12 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Its monday here. | Feb 02 09:12 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm2: it's in the US (the host) | Feb 02 09:12 |
|---|
| schestowitz | So 4AM at the latest | Feb 02 09:12 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Have it incase the damage is worse from the reboot than expected. | Feb 02 09:13 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Good, thanks. Well, I have the backup running there now | Feb 02 09:13 |
|---|
| schestowitz | We still get heavy loads there. | Feb 02 09:13 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Having something big enough to take a slashdotting is hard. | Feb 02 09:14 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No Slashdotting this time. | Feb 02 09:14 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Is there a squid proxy running on there ? | Feb 02 09:14 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No, but there might be soon | Feb 02 09:14 |
|---|
| schestowitz | lars suggested that I install it. | Feb 02 09:14 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | I would suggest it as well. | Feb 02 09:15 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Takes a lot of load off. | Feb 02 09:15 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Next is mysql proxy of some form caching requests. | Feb 02 09:15 |
|---|
| schestowitz | He's checking if http://www.apsis.ch/pound/ is not better | Feb 02 09:15 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I think there's already mysql caching | Feb 02 09:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | "phpMyAdmin: Query cache" | Feb 02 09:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Qcache_hits 4,958 k The number of cache hits. | Feb 02 09:17 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | schestowitz: its higher than edgi. with the help of so called "Microsoft student partners" they are trying to dump M$ products inside schools and colleges...These student partners give all students in the college access to Microsoft products free of cosr | Feb 02 09:17 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | *cost visit https://msdn70.e-academy.com/ | Feb 02 09:17 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | they call it as e-academy | Feb 02 09:17 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Is there any tool in phpMyAdmi for checking/reparing DBs? | Feb 02 09:18 |
|---|
| schestowitz | *piring | Feb 02 09:18 |
|---|
| schestowitz | *repairing I mean | Feb 02 09:18 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | you can download virtually all crap microsoft products there | Feb 02 09:18 |
|---|
| schestowitz | zer0c00l: yes, that's EDGI/DreamSpark | Feb 02 09:18 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | No one has coded a frount end that does that job yet schestowitz | Feb 02 09:19 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It should be ruled illegal or something, no? They turn schools into a client pool. | Feb 02 09:19 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | yeah | Feb 02 09:19 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm2: I guess I need to wait for the host then. | Feb 02 09:19 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | With all the usage of mysql and other databases is shockly missing schestowitz | Feb 02 09:19 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | its illegal | Feb 02 09:19 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | i am going to fight with school officials | Feb 02 09:19 |
|---|
| schestowitz | zer0c00l: please do | Feb 02 09:19 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | but most of them are dump | Feb 02 09:19 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | yeah | Feb 02 09:19 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Explain to them the ethics of what they do | Feb 02 09:19 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They sell the kids to Microsoft | Feb 02 09:20 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | yeah | Feb 02 09:20 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They don't care. Maybe they make personal gains | Feb 02 09:20 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Like dinners with Microsoft execs | Feb 02 09:20 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | please give me some inputs so that i can effectively fight | Feb 02 09:20 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Find out who is responsible | Feb 02 09:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | get names, pressure them | Feb 02 09:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Don't get logos and intitution names | Feb 02 09:21 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | sure | Feb 02 09:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | These are the 'shaddows' | Feb 02 09:21 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | ok | Feb 02 09:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | *shadows... like the corporations casting a shadow in government for people to blame | Feb 02 09:21 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | they have paid M$ some money to get into this program | Feb 02 09:22 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Maybe. Maybe it's the opposite | Feb 02 09:22 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Microsoft will be willing to pay (bribe) them to make the students future slaves of Microsoft ecosystem | Feb 02 09:22 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's like selling tobacco to kids in high education because the tobacco companies give it away for free | Feb 02 09:23 |
|---|
| schestowitz | So they set up vending machines for cigarettes where you swipe in your student card and off you go smoking | Feb 02 09:23 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | The thing is schestowitz even if you could fullly recovery the database without dealing with the load issue we could end back up in the same mess if writes are reenabled. | Feb 02 09:23 |
|---|
| schestowitz | When you are no longer a student (graduation) you're stuck with it... addicted | Feb 02 09:23 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's when the tobacco companies start cashing in | Feb 02 09:23 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | yeah | Feb 02 09:23 |
|---|
| schestowitz | If the college refuses to see how /harmful/ it is what they do, they'll carry on doing this | Feb 02 09:24 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | they refuse to understand that M$ is an evil | Feb 02 09:24 |
|---|
| oiaohm2 | Sites up limited by my book that is a pass for a few days.(Ok might not be yours schestowitz). Now is working threw the issue. | Feb 02 09:24 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm2: agreed. Another thing I want to see is trobleshooting/diagnosis. | Feb 02 09:24 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Just side-stepping the issue means it can recur | Feb 02 09:24 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | you people having problems with server overload? | Feb 02 09:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | zer0c00l: not just Microsoft. Adobe does similar stuff | Feb 02 09:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They need to teach methods and offer (free) libre s/w, not $Vendor_X | Feb 02 09:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | zer0c00l: sort of. | Feb 02 09:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | zer0c00l: DB issue | Feb 02 09:25 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm2: same thing happened to Groklaw, I think | Feb 02 09:26 |
|---|
| schestowitz | When SCO filed Chapter 11 | Feb 02 09:26 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The DB went bonkers | Feb 02 09:26 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I bet Mathfox restored from backup or something | Feb 02 09:26 |

| oiaohm2 | I realy do miss the non redux. At least he was on the money more of the time. | Feb 02 11:16 |

|---|
| oiaohm | Linux hater redux has never been right. | Feb 02 11:31 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Linux Hater did have about 5 major articals that were dead on that spreed and caused fixes in the Linux world. | Feb 02 11:32 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Hater that is correct can see things fixed. | Feb 02 11:32 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Do you know who he was? | Feb 02 11:32 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Miguel knows him. | Feb 02 11:32 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Beranger vanished onto the horizon. | Feb 02 11:33 |
|---|
| oiaohm | I never knew Linux Hater in person. But his writing style did suggest one particular author that did start off proLinux. | Feb 02 11:34 |
|---|
| oiaohm | There always should be Haters. No matter how good a OS there should be real findable defects. | Feb 02 11:35 |
|---|
| *zer0c00l agrees with oiaohm | Feb 02 11:36 |
| oiaohm | I have nothing against true researched haters. I just hate these non researched haters. | Feb 02 11:36 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Like Beranger not knowning that com started in windows in 1989 its formal spec was released in 1993. Stuff like protection from files from overwriting when multiable programs writing to it without locking depends on something like com. | Feb 02 11:37 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Ballmer and cancer hate come to mind. | Feb 02 11:37 |
|---|
| MinceR | knowing a defect doesn't mean having to hate | Feb 02 11:37 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Calling a blog LinuxHaters is another way. | Feb 02 11:38 |
|---|
| oiaohm | If the defect is stoping you from doing something important hate is a understanble responce MinceR | Feb 02 11:38 |
|---|
| MinceR | not all defects do | Feb 02 11:38 |
|---|
| schestowitz | BTW, The backup/DB disaster led me to checking other possible 'Maydays', such as my passwords that are in some proprietary Palm PDB. I can scoop it up manually shall something go wrong or just rely on some apps. | Feb 02 11:38 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Yep people learn the importance of data either after they lose it or almost lose it. | Feb 02 11:40 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | when i used windoze my download manager was orbitdownloader which splits and downloads faster....I dont know there are such download managers exist in linux...but i never hated linux for that | Feb 02 11:40 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | do you people know any such download manager | Feb 02 11:40 |
|---|
| oiaohm | There are a few downloaders like that for Linux. | Feb 02 11:41 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Even commandline ones. | Feb 02 11:42 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Currently cannot search and get list. | Feb 02 11:42 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | i agree there exist...but when it comes to integration with firefox they suck a lot | Feb 02 11:43 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | that proprietary software uses some firefox extension and gives pretty integration | Feb 02 11:43 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | is there any such download manager exist for linux? | Feb 02 11:44 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Ok better check my other machine. | Feb 02 11:44 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Next time I am on it. It does have good intergratation from firefox to a few of them under Linux. | Feb 02 11:45 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Spliting does not help much any more under windows if you don't remove the MS TCP/IP limiter. | Feb 02 11:45 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Or server capacity | Feb 02 11:46 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Peers are different | Feb 02 11:46 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Use torrent | Feb 02 11:46 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Numbers of half open connections. | Feb 02 11:47 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | i am behind a proxy so i use imageshack.us torrent downloading service...when i try to download those files using downloader for x.i never downloaded for me | Feb 02 11:47 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | *it | Feb 02 11:48 |
|---|
| oiaohm | You did change the user agent string of downloader for x | Feb 02 11:49 |
|---|
| oiaohm | I have had that on a few sites. Downloader for X agent string equals no connection. | Feb 02 11:49 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Yes site maintains do have a good reason to ban it. It can cause way too much load on there poor servers compared to Windows clients. | Feb 02 11:50 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | in fedora 10 they dropped downloader for x | Feb 02 11:50 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Personally I don't touch fedora with a 10 foot barge pole. | Feb 02 11:50 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Most likely they have something curl based instead. | Feb 02 11:51 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm: touch Fedora 10 with a bargepole? | Feb 02 11:52 |
|---|
| *zer0c00l too wonders what is it | Feb 02 11:53 |
| oiaohm | Fedora have you seen there kernel build. | Feb 02 11:53 |
|---|
| oiaohm | 1000 and 1 warning messages. | Feb 02 11:53 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Warnings exist for very good reasons. I prefer my kernels built warning less thank you. | Feb 02 11:54 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That kind of thing spreeds threw fedoras complete source base. | Feb 02 11:54 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Note that a kernel from kernel.org normally builds without a single warning message. They have completely come from poor quality patches applied to kernel. | Feb 02 11:55 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | i agree oiaohm | Feb 02 11:56 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | i got warning messages when i compiled the kernel for my project | Feb 02 11:56 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | will it affect any thing? why its not good | Feb 02 11:57 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Warnings are about things not checking right to the complier. | Feb 02 11:57 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Problem is not bad enough to cause 100 percent sure failure. | Feb 02 11:57 |
|---|
| oiaohm | But each one could be a failure complier has failed to confirm that its not. | Feb 02 11:58 |
|---|
| oiaohm | So yes warnings are bad. | Feb 02 11:58 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | the funniest thing i did is i tried to compile 2.6.28 kernel in RHEL 5 , and it resulted in a kernel panic | Feb 02 11:58 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Worst thing I ever did was build kde 3.0 on a 255 pent. | Feb 02 11:59 |
|---|
| oiaohm | 255 mhz pent | Feb 02 11:59 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That took a few days. | Feb 02 11:59 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | lol | Feb 02 12:00 |
|---|
| oiaohm | I still have the 255 pent | Feb 02 12:00 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Really should fire it up and build kde 4.2 on it for the fun of it some time. | Feb 02 12:00 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | microsoft addicts usually stare at my computer when i compile the kernel | Feb 02 12:01 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | that will be fun | Feb 02 12:01 |
|---|
| oiaohm | More fun is that my Linux Laptop is fully setup for network secuirty testing. | Feb 02 12:02 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | oh | Feb 02 12:02 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | great | Feb 02 12:02 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | snort? | Feb 02 12:02 |
|---|
| oiaohm | About 100 packages decated to the task. | Feb 02 12:02 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Including about 15 that are just mine. | Feb 02 12:02 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | i use ettercap, nmap ,metasploit | Feb 02 12:03 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | just a script kidde thing | Feb 02 12:03 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | what you use oiaohm | Feb 02 12:03 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Windows guy going on how secure windows is. I say just plug your sever in and I will see how long it lasts. | Feb 02 12:03 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | hahaha | Feb 02 12:04 |
|---|
| oiaohm | I can secure windows servers to a point my Linux machine cannot get in. | Feb 02 12:04 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | i cracked my schools windows server password and used to steal question papers | Feb 02 12:04 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Simplest way is a Network card with Linux embeded and filters. | Feb 02 12:04 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Boy does that make MS people cry. | Feb 02 12:05 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | they still dont know abt it | Feb 02 12:05 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | poor people | Feb 02 12:05 |
|---|
| oiaohm | It also boost threw put by 20 percent. | Feb 02 12:05 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | i have access to all their servers including the webserver | Feb 02 12:06 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Yep they are really screwed without Linux they don't have performance. | Feb 02 12:06 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Ever had the fun of using a TILE64 card. | Feb 02 12:06 |
|---|
| oiaohm | People like to steal exam paper answers use to hate me. | Feb 02 12:08 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | hahah | Feb 02 12:08 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | :D | Feb 02 12:08 |
|---|
| oiaohm | I would always print 50 exam paper answer sheets per exam only 1 was right. | Feb 02 12:08 |
|---|
| MinceR | :D | Feb 02 12:08 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Yep opening the file was no help to you at all. | Feb 02 12:08 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | hahaha they have to study all the 50 papers | Feb 02 12:09 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | :D | Feb 02 12:09 |
|---|
| MinceR | why even let them have the file? | Feb 02 12:09 |

| oiaohm | No matter what you do a theif can always find away. Final defence is obsecrity. | Feb 02 12:10 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Some cases I never even bothered making a correct answer sheet. | Feb 02 12:11 |

| oiaohm | I also did the same with exams. I would pull one out a stack and photocopy it on the day of the exam. | Feb 02 12:12 |

| schestowitz | I didn't realise the Telegraph is known as "Torygraph" :-) | Feb 02 12:15 |
|---|
| MinceR | the content, that is | Feb 02 12:15 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Most schools don't have the IT skills to hunt cyber bulls down and anyone taking part. | Feb 02 12:15 |
|---|
| oiaohm | One school I did work with in the past I was quite effective at stamping it out. | Feb 02 12:15 |
|---|
| schestowitz | MinceR: unless they say the truth (the messenger), in which case examine own behaviour | Feb 02 12:15 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Basically anyone caught with anything releated to cyberbulling was punished. | Feb 02 12:15 |
|---|
| MinceR | indeed | Feb 02 12:15 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Zero tollerence works quike well. | Feb 02 12:16 |

| zer0c00l | yeah | Feb 02 12:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Groklaw was worried about people whom it flagged | Feb 02 12:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | For, well... things they just did | Feb 02 12:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | You don't want to be a "crony for Microsoft", then don't be. | Feb 02 12:16 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | it happened in my school when they failed technically block ultrasurf.. "Any one who found using ultrasurf will be fined" | Feb 02 12:17 |
|---|
| schestowitz | You don't want to be an "anti-Linux persona", then stop it. | Feb 02 12:17 |
|---|
| schestowitz | nmap is illegal here and in Germany, apparently | Feb 02 12:17 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | oh | Feb 02 12:17 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Because, you know, giving tools to people make them CRIMINA~1 | Feb 02 12:17 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Let's stop selling kitchen knives too | Feb 02 12:18 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Australia is interesting. | Feb 02 12:18 |
|---|

| *s0ulslack (i=soul@unaffiliated/s0ulslack) has joined #boycottnovell | Feb 02 12:18 |
| oiaohm | yet normal person could be charged under the same law as lock picks. | Feb 02 12:18 |
|---|
| oiaohm | And I have used that from time to time to stop people bring in breaking software when they should not be. | Feb 02 12:19 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Wonder if Germany is the same. | Feb 02 12:19 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Here knives that are sharp must be sold cased. | Feb 02 12:19 |
|---|
| oiaohm | You are not allowed to carry a knive in a public place any more. | Feb 02 12:20 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Unless its cased. | Feb 02 12:20 |
|---|
| schestowitz | What's "in public"? | Feb 02 12:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | You don't see people running around waving knives in thew streets | Feb 02 12:21 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | railway station ,airport | Feb 02 12:21 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | :D | Feb 02 12:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | You also have no people running around with PDAs and nmap on them | Feb 02 12:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Murder rarely happens in public places | Feb 02 12:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | So this point is moor | Feb 02 12:22 |
|---|
| schestowitz | *t | Feb 02 12:22 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Ok me did have a pda with nmap. | Feb 02 12:22 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | me too | Feb 02 12:22 |
|---|
| zer0c00l | i wardrive | Feb 02 12:22 |
|---|
| oiaohm | It also had wireshark and a few wireless hacking tools. | Feb 02 12:22 |
|---|
| oiaohm | pda was for business secuirty checking. | Feb 02 12:23 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Leave it behind running and see if number 1 it get turned off number two if it breaches the network number 3 I get it back no questions asked. | Feb 02 12:23 |
|---|
| oiaohm | I would of course have a contract to check there secuirty first. | Feb 02 12:24 |
|---|
| oiaohm | It works 100 percent of the time. | Feb 02 12:24 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Until staff know that a left behind PDA could be harmful. | Feb 02 12:24 |
|---|
| schestowitz | IDG is again out with an anti-"migration to Linux" message: http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/mgmt/E... | Feb 02 12:24 |
|---|
| MinceR | oh noes, nmap! everybody get down to the floor! | Feb 02 12:24 |
|---|
| MinceR | ;) | Feb 02 12:24 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They last did this just over a week ago. Is IDC pulling strings for its (pay)masters? | Feb 02 12:25 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Does not matter here I am most likely going to covert over 1000 people in a local computer club. | Feb 02 12:26 |
|---|
| schestowitz | covet? :-) | Feb 02 12:26 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Most of them cannot afford windows. | Feb 02 12:29 |
|---|
| oiaohm | MS is basically pricing themselfs out market. | Feb 02 12:29 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes | Feb 02 12:30 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But they try to eliminate competition | Feb 02 12:30 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I.e. reduce choice | Feb 02 12:30 |
|---|
| schestowitz | And Comes shows this well. | Feb 02 12:30 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Unix to Linux that one is partly correct at times. | Feb 02 12:30 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Now, if only I could carry on posting :-) | Feb 02 12:30 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That is not always cheeper. | Feb 02 12:30 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I'm tempted to just bring the new DB up to date | Feb 02 12:30 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But that's not solving the issue and it's 7AM over at the host | Feb 02 12:31 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That is a option schestowitz | Feb 02 12:31 |
|---|
| schestowitz | oiaohm: but what it this recurs? | Feb 02 12:31 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No waiting for some diagnosis? | Feb 02 12:31 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Upto day no comments allowed will protect the mysql from harming self. | Feb 02 12:31 |
|---|
| oiaohm | I guess nothing else on page writes to db. | Feb 02 12:32 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Its called safe mode of database operations. | Feb 02 12:32 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's to do with keeping the 'broken' DB without added (missing) components | Feb 02 12:32 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Until it comes back | Feb 02 12:32 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I was writing to the DB when it failed | Feb 02 12:33 |
|---|
| schestowitz | When the server was rebooted | Feb 02 12:33 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Or around that time | Feb 02 12:33 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I was doing a post and then there was no DB | Feb 02 12:33 |
|---|
| oiaohm | That would explain failed database. | Feb 02 12:33 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Bad write. | Feb 02 12:33 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I guess it rebooted, but the DB was no longer there. | Feb 02 12:33 |
|---|
| schestowitz | So you think that just writing something took the whole server down? | Feb 02 12:33 |
|---|
| oiaohm | There but not readable. | Feb 02 12:33 |
|---|
| oiaohm | No | Feb 02 12:34 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Server crash just lined up at the wrong moment. | Feb 02 12:34 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Ahh.. | Feb 02 12:34 |
|---|
| schestowitz | And the host can correct this? | Feb 02 12:34 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Without taking old copies of the DB..? | Feb 02 12:34 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Old copy has to remain incase it was not your write. | Feb 02 12:35 |
|---|
| oiaohm | If it was your write mysql repair there end should work. | Feb 02 12:35 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I guess I'll wait | Feb 02 12:35 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Now if it was something else like db being on a bad disk section. | Feb 02 12:35 |
|---|
| oiaohm | It could be lot harder to recover. | Feb 02 12:36 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Non-lossy recovery? | Feb 02 12:36 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Yep. | Feb 02 12:36 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Normally internal backups of mysql work. | Feb 02 12:36 |

| oiaohm | You don't want to write to damage database until host side is shown to be ok. | Feb 02 12:37 |
|---|
| schestowitz | *damaged? | Feb 02 12:37 |
|---|
| oiaohm | You write a block to a damage file due to drive you can release the damage section on disk to be reused by something more important. | Feb 02 12:37 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Yep go from a lost DB to a crashing server every 5 secs. | Feb 02 12:38 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Basically there are a few checks that need to happen host side. | Feb 02 12:38 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Higher than normal load also can be caused by bad ram. | Feb 02 12:39 |
|---|
| oiaohm | If services are restarting lot more than normal. | Feb 02 12:39 |
|---|
| oiaohm | How much information does the web interfaces tell you. | Feb 02 12:40 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Does it tell you the last times services restarted? | Feb 02 12:40 |
|---|
| schestowitz | RAM usage is about 60% on the box | Feb 02 12:41 |

| schestowitz | "With the UK being brought to a halt by snow, Linux users may wish to bring snow to their desktop." http://www.heise-online.co.uk/open/Snow... << snows here endlessly today | Feb 02 12:41 |
|---|
| schestowitz | One thing I do see in the IRC log (with timestamp) | Feb 02 12:42 |
|---|
| schestowitz | is that the server restarted around the same time (minutes) that I had the issue | Feb 02 12:42 |
|---|
| schestowitz | So it's related to the rebooting somehow | Feb 02 12:42 |
|---|
| oiaohm | The question is what caused the reboot | Feb 02 12:42 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Or maybe the boot caused the issue? | Feb 02 12:43 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Without the server logs we cannot be sure. | Feb 02 12:43 |
|---|
| schestowitz | without access to /var/mysql or whatever I don't know either. | Feb 02 12:43 |
|---|
| oiaohm | this is the problem we have lack of information. | Feb 02 12:44 |
|---|
| oiaohm | You need information to make a informed selection of action. | Feb 02 12:44 |
|---|
| oiaohm | I would be asking for webaccess to logs at a min. | Feb 02 12:44 |
|---|
| oiaohm | For next time so you can see what in hell happened. | Feb 02 12:45 |
|---|
| oiaohm | If its was like a kernel update where the system shut down cleanly at the wrong time. | Feb 02 12:45 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Is one thing if it is hardware caused its another. | Feb 02 12:45 |
|---|
| oiaohm | If its attacker caused that is a completely different game. | Feb 02 12:45 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I can't find that | Feb 02 12:46 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I'm still looking | Feb 02 12:46 |

| schestowitz | phpMyAdmin doesn't expose that | Feb 02 12:46 |

| schestowitz | "This MySQL server has been running for 1 days, 1 hours, 26 minutes and 41 seconds. It started up on Feb 01, 2009 at 06:23 AM." | Feb 02 12:47 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Lot of these hosters under exestmate the importances of having logs. | Feb 02 12:47 |
|---|
| schestowitz | 11:23AM GMT | Feb 02 12:47 |
|---|
| oiaohm | dmesg from kernel is kinda important. | Feb 02 12:48 |
|---|
| oiaohm | To see if it shutdown at that point. | Feb 02 12:48 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Ie cleanly shutdown. Or was kicked over by a watchdog or hardware failure. | Feb 02 12:48 |
|---|
| oiaohm | There is also the chance Mysql was the only thing to restrart too. | Feb 02 12:49 |
|---|
| oiaohm | I guess you cannot see the http server log either ? | Feb 02 12:49 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No, not really. | Feb 02 12:50 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Is the DB server on the same box? | Feb 02 12:50 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I don't know, but it's localhost | Feb 02 12:50 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Which I suppose means that it's on the same box | Feb 02 12:50 |
|---|
| oiaohm | localhost equals same box. | Feb 02 12:53 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Or at least same cluster | Feb 02 12:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes, that's what I though, unless it's mapped to 'fake' locality | Feb 02 12:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I'm watching system variables and everything, but no logs I can access | Feb 02 12:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Even if I found the logs, I can't repair, just made judgment. | Feb 02 12:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The assumption is that this can recur unless the host is made aware of what happened and why | Feb 02 12:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | If part of the bridge falls and misses people's head you don't just sigh in relief and move on, you fix the bridge. We had this incident in Manchester 2 years ago. The bridge was beneath the rail track near the cirty centre. | Feb 02 12:56 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Yep just like a bridge while its not fixed complete thing could fail too. | Feb 02 12:58 |
|---|
| oiaohm | Reason why the first thing I asked did you have all backups. | Feb 02 12:59 |

| oiaohm_ | Australia were are not that bad off here. | Feb 02 13:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The sustainability question, based on what happens in France ATM, seems to suggest that unrest will turn more countries into police states and lead to confrntation | Feb 02 13:59 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Minor havic but be have seen worse. | Feb 02 13:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | where? | Feb 02 13:59 |
|---|
| macabe_ | Create fake shortages of commodities. | Feb 02 13:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Are you 70+ years old? | Feb 02 13:59 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Yep the ressession we had to have that one of our political leaders created on Australia. | Feb 02 13:59 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | So far its not that bad. | Feb 02 14:00 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They try to control info in Aussie | Feb 02 14:00 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | that was only in the 19xx | Feb 02 14:00 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Conroy et al | Feb 02 14:00 |
|---|
| schestowitz | There are protests about that | Feb 02 14:00 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's no longer about child-molesting TERROR~1 anymore, either. Now they just have a secret list of banned sites | Feb 02 14:00 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Australian goverment is sick of over 10 billion dollars a year going in niggreian scams. | Feb 02 14:01 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | With a good block from Australia | Feb 02 14:01 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's social engineering | Feb 02 14:01 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's not a Web problem | Feb 02 14:01 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They should stop policing the Internet and instead banish the spam-spewing botnets (mostly Windows) | Feb 02 14:02 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Other thing that has upset people is pirated software sites being blocked. | Feb 02 14:02 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | MS really should have been careful what they asked for. | Feb 02 14:02 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | That is the other thing the filter is about schestowitz is bot nets and worms. | Feb 02 14:03 |
|---|
| schestowitz | 9am at the host's side, still no db showing | Feb 02 14:03 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Australian internet backbone is not large. | Feb 02 14:03 |
|---|
| schestowitz | People will share with or without the net | Feb 02 14:03 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Part of the idea is really to reduce bandwidth usage. | Feb 02 14:04 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They have CD-ROMs (which apparently are now 'owned' by the MAFIAA too) | Feb 02 14:04 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Block uncachable stuff. | Feb 02 14:04 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Try getting a CD threw Australian post fast. | Feb 02 14:05 |
|---|
| macabe_ | Is it the extra .02 cents on the purchase of CD's | Feb 02 14:05 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Never underextemate the bandwidth of a truck with harddrives going down the highway. | Feb 02 14:05 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | One way good filtering could make that effective for somethings. | Feb 02 14:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | What they do, like with DRM, is inconvenience those who are innocent and achieve nothing | Feb 02 14:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Eben Moglen: "Everybody is connected to everybody else, all data that can be shared will be shared will be shared: get used to it." | Feb 02 14:07 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | One of the wost things for the internet is MS preventing computer mags having windows updates other than sp's. | Feb 02 14:07 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | schestowitz: there is sharing and there is screwing it. | Feb 02 14:07 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Part of the problem is bittorrent itself. | Feb 02 14:08 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Normal web traffic is simple to cache at the ISP servers. | Feb 02 14:08 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | stuff like bittorrent does not cache well. So same data to move around really takes more network traffic. | Feb 02 14:08 |
|---|
| schestowitz | What about Akamai? | Feb 02 14:09 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Filtering sounds bad but it might be the only way to get on top of traffic problems. | Feb 02 14:09 |
|---|
| schestowitz | You could centralise the files for more people. | Feb 02 14:09 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Akamai is most web. | Feb 02 14:09 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Like Telstra (??) and OOo | Feb 02 14:09 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Before they sold out to Microsoft and others, then dropped the mirror | Feb 02 14:09 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | OOo is still on the telstra file mirror | Feb 02 14:10 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Just internal for its ISP customers. | Feb 02 14:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | People use torrents because the stuff like distro is not there on enough mirrors that are fast perhaps | Feb 02 14:10 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Legal content ends up on those mirrors | Feb 02 14:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Oh wait.. that's the ISP with a name like FishPond.. | Feb 02 14:11 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | and yes it does reduce there problems. | Feb 02 14:11 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Bigpond | Feb 02 14:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes. | Feb 02 14:11 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Yes close. | Feb 02 14:11 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Now yes mirrors are not fast enough. | Feb 02 14:12 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | If ISP's were caching torrents it would still be faster than mirrors. | Feb 02 14:12 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | torrent has the right idea decentralise. But stuffed it up. Decentralised between ISP's not users is better. | Feb 02 14:13 |
|---|
| schestowitz | More government PR: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/arti... | Feb 02 14:13 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Give pretense of "openness", do (Almost) the same old crimes | Feb 02 14:13 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Goverment is a hard thing. Remember the britsh series yes mister. | Feb 02 14:14 |
|---|
| *schestowitz looks at news, finds no press releases of significance, reckons that 'company avalanche' is pending, not just layoffs | Feb 02 14:14 |
| oiaohm_ | Most companies are in brace mode. | Feb 02 14:15 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Ok failures will come but question is how many. | Feb 02 14:15 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Windows 7 is going to be rushed I can bet. | Feb 02 14:16 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Because MS cannot wait until 2010 for money. | Feb 02 14:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes | Feb 02 14:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But there won't be upgrades either | Feb 02 14:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I reckon they'll need to wrestle with PR | Feb 02 14:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They already flood the Web with W7 astroturfs | Feb 02 14:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Office is another fiasco for them | Feb 02 14:17 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | This is different this time. | Feb 02 14:17 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | We have anti-turfers out in numbers. | Feb 02 14:17 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They go to the Web to compete with 'Office to rent' (mostly Google Apps) and what many see as "Cheapo" workaround (OOo d/l) | Feb 02 14:17 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes, we fight the Turf back | Feb 02 14:17 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But this need to be exposed to the commision | Feb 02 14:18 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Notice the numbers fighting back are growing. | Feb 02 14:18 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Microsoft is breaking the law (well, duh, tell Neelie something she doesn't know) | Feb 02 14:18 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | MS has lots the bind trust | Feb 02 14:18 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Astroturfing depends on it. | Feb 02 14:18 |

| schestowitz | The 'ecosystem' prepares for the worst: http://microsofttracker.com/ | Feb 02 14:19 |

| schestowitz | I hope the ZDnet cartel collapses soon | Feb 02 14:19 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It serves Microsoft under the CNET-Ziff|Gates embrella | Feb 02 14:20 |
|---|
| schestowitz | *unbrella | Feb 02 14:20 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Notice recently znet backed off because anti-turfers come out in numbers. | Feb 02 14:21 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | The game is changing. | Feb 02 14:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes | Feb 02 14:21 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | The anti-turfers are learning how to fight. | Feb 02 14:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They are pressure to be less of a marketing dept | Feb 02 14:21 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Stick to the facts. | Feb 02 14:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | See their whitepaper brothel. | Feb 02 14:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's where they 'loot the stash' | Feb 02 14:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | All kinds of IDC/Gartner trust-corrupting 'studies' | Feb 02 14:22 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Some how I think I kicked that off with my attackes on Linux Hater | Feb 02 14:22 |

|---|
| schestowitz | The trouble is that Microsoft goes to great length to set consensus using repetition | Feb 02 14:22 |
|---|
| schestowitz | IDG|IDC is a good example | Feb 02 14:22 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Past a lot of anti-turfers would thow insults. | Feb 02 14:23 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Notice that has also reduced this year. | Feb 02 14:23 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The whole "WIndows is easy", "Linux is for servers" mentality that comes from Windinosaurs. | Feb 02 14:23 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Wait.. | Feb 02 14:23 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | I am sorry they have been right on that point. | Feb 02 14:23 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Linux has not had desktop support in kernel. | Feb 02 14:23 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Kinda required to have a crash proff desktop. Ok Windows by design should not fully crash without bad drivers. | Feb 02 14:24 |
|---|
| oiaohm_ | Linux world is also changing in 2009 in ways the MS people cannot dream. | Feb 02 14:24 |
