01:05 thimbronion diana_coman: I fixed my permalink issue by setting AllowOverride to All in httpd.conf for the directory mp-wp is in.
~ 1 hours 49 minutes ~
02:54 asciilifeform http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-13#1945418 << forgot to mention, it has to be a fs that aint what you're running from, when doing this. (gotta boot w/stick) otherwise symlinks will break.
02:54 ossabot (trilema) 2019-10-13 asciilifeform: diana_coman: to ~make~ a tarball that can be used in place of 'r2', using a working install w/ whatevr customizations in it, mount the fs at a /mnt/gentoo and then e.g. tar pcvfz diana_coman-gentoo.tar.gz /mnt/gentoo . this snapshot can then be used to replicate $box to whatever others.
~ 4 hours 21 minutes ~
07:15 diana_coman thimbronion: well done.
07:22 diana_coman asciilifeform: noted, thanks.

08:37 jfw diana_coman: I've caught up on the week's log, and in backlog reading I've made it to Aug 1. Lots of good stuff in there; I haven't been summarizing really, but at least clipping parts for future reference.
08:38 jfw The most specifically enlightening so far regarding my main question have been these lines
08:38 ossabot Logged on 2019-07-30 10:59:00 diana_coman: shrysr: so you know, leave that part to me since you want to learn with me: stick to what I set for you to do and only that; write anything "new and shiny" in the "I might be interested in this" but do NOT just follow it blindly
08:43 jfw http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-08-01#999871 - I'd better note that my own (homemade) client doesn't notify on mentions; I'll have to decide whether to implement or get something else set up
08:43 ossabot Logged on 2019-08-01 11:26:00 diana_coman: shrysr: doesn't your irc client notify in any way when your name is said? it should, set it up properly.
08:46 jfw I got my blog back up, now without the extra complexity of gatewaying: http://fixpoint.welshcomputing.com/ , 198.199.70.97
08:47 jfw Running on a CentOS 6 VPS with stock "yum install mysql-server php php-mysql httpd", seems to work fine so far.
08:53 jfw http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-10-13#1006214 - so far httpd is behaving as documented in the manual, unlike on gentoo; though it's apache 2.2 which isn't quite compatible with 2.4 in config directives.
08:53 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-13 16:32:50 BingoBoingo: diana_coman: I do not at the moment, if centos requires a magic incantation others don't. Ended up building apache and php from source, whatever solution I produce will almost certainly not be applicable for whatever retardation they customize their httpd with
09:00 jfw http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-10-12#1005694 - perhaps I can answer this minor mystery: fstab, being located on the root filesystem, cannot be referenced in order to first mount the root filesystem. Thus it has to figure it out somehow. The ext code (not sure where) tries different versions until finding one with the needed feature set. So the "feature incompatibilities" warning,
09:00 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-12 05:59:47 diana_coman: I don't get why it's trying to mount it as ext3; fstab clearly say ext4 for /dev/sda2, ugh
09:00 jfw while ugly, doesn't in itself indicate a problem. Something in userspace then has to come remount according to fstab - that'd be the missing init.d/root script.
09:04 jfw (Though if you bake an initrd, you can have it find the root disk however you want.)
~ 3 hours 57 minutes ~
13:02 diana_coman http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-10-14#1006232 - yes, this is so, after that I went and read the docs which said exactly that.
13:02 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-14 05:00:51 jfw: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-10-12#1005694 - perhaps I can answer this minor mystery: fstab, being located on the root filesystem, cannot be referenced in order to first mount the root filesystem.

13:03 diana_coman jfw: what's your plan though because if you've made it to Aug 1, there are stil more than 2 months of logs and at this rate it's unclear you'll get to even read it all any time soon, lol.
13:04 diana_coman jfw: what did you write your irc client in?
~ 2 hours 56 minutes ~
16:00 * asciilifeform waves to diana_coman
16:01 diana_coman ohai asciilifeform ; how's the bmore /dc stuff ?
16:01 asciilifeform diana_coman: no word yet. i'ma call'em again today.
16:01 diana_coman I kind of suspect they don't really want the biz
16:01 asciilifeform diana_coman: i figure, they'll have to say ~sumthing~ tho.
16:02 diana_coman if they pick up, yes, lol
16:02 asciilifeform indeed
16:02 diana_coman atm I fired up a few more emails to south africans this time; they *seem* at least less stuck up re account, will see
16:03 asciilifeform diana_coman: i'm reluctant to simply set the bozo bit w/out prodding'em, it appears to be the only dc within range of asciilifeform's hands
16:03 diana_coman sure, nothing to lose; do probe to exhaustion.
~ 1 hours 11 minutes ~
17:14 asciilifeform diana_coman: update : got a this, rather similar to what you got from that eu isp. answer'd 'would like to get in writing what precisely happens during a ddos that gets past your 'protection' '. then asked to set up voice call, lessee where goes.
17:15 asciilifeform '95-th percentile' == 36 hours / mo of 'unbillable' peak traffic. the q is what happens during e.g. 40hr flood.
~ 28 minutes ~
17:44 jfw diana_coman: technically less than 2 months (of log to get through) as I've followed since Sep 14, but your point stands. I'm at a loss re plan, logically I gotta either get more efficient or make more time. I have improved on both so far, fwiw. I'll try to come up with something more concrete.
17:46 jfw irc client is in python 2.7, with VT100 interface
17:53 diana_coman jfw: looking at it overall, I quite suspect you are not all that used to cutting straight to the heart of the matter really; and this might not be all that great for this sort of situation
17:53 diana_coman jfw: what are your doubts anyway as you didn't make them public anywhere, did you?
18:03 diana_coman asciilifeform: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=MRFB
18:04 asciilifeform ty diana_coman , i'ma try nao
18:07 asciilifeform diana_coman: uploading 'r2' . is there a url i can point people to where will show up ?
18:08 diana_coman asciilifeform: not atm; not fully sure how best to set this up
18:09 diana_coman obv, I should set it up one way or another
18:09 diana_coman asciilifeform: is it any faster than to loper-os?
18:09 asciilifeform diana_coman: afaik simplest method is to give apache a vhost entry where the ftp's homedir is the /
18:10 asciilifeform diana_coman: can't say yet, my ftp client dun show progress. timing it by hand.
18:11 diana_coman I guess so (re vhost); I'll add it to list for later today
18:11 asciilifeform ty diana_coman
18:12 jfw diana_coman: I didn't, but can if you'd like. The only one still vaguely standing is: "what does submission here really mean?" i.e., do I know what I'm getting myself into. I surmise that can't really be known for certain, and then I think I've got a pretty good picture already
18:12 diana_coman jfw: what are you afraid of there? because that's what the above actually says.
18:17 asciilifeform diana_coman: actually pretty good : 1700 kB/s.
18:17 asciilifeform (uploaded.)
18:19 jfw hmm. what comes to mind is, whether I can handle the pressure. But I figure I should trust you to judge that.
18:19 diana_coman asciilifeform: not bad; at any rate, it should be useful at least as mirror if nothing else; good.
18:19 asciilifeform diana_coman: it's quite fast, and ty for the mirror. lemme know when you get a chance to set up readability for it.
18:20 diana_coman jfw: you need to communicate more though; I can't see at this distance and (at least so far), you've been rather...closed, let's say.
18:20 diana_coman asciilifeform: I'll ping you when it's done, yes; and np.
18:21 diana_coman jfw: how much time do you/did you spend weekly on this log-catch up thing anyway?
18:26 jfw diana_coman: okay... I am pretty introverted, I've long found it takes me time to 'open up'. Let me check re log.
18:29 jfw about 9 hrs last week and 6 this week
18:31 jfw got a bit distracted this week following the pizarro happenings
18:32 jfw (~8 hrs reading #trilema log)
18:33 jfw Gotta head to saltmine shortly but I'll be free tomorrow.
18:39 diana_coman hm, ok.
