02:34.24flingI only built things on gentoo
02:35.04masonfling: apt install build-essential and you'll have most of what you need
02:35.30masonfling: If you want to control packaging without getting too complex, also apt install stow

02:57.31golinuxFor Devuan? Beowulf is stable release
02:57.46flingshould I upgrade my ascii?
02:58.09golinuxEventually I suppose.  I'm still on Jessie
02:58.35golinuxDragging my feet into ascii
02:59.02masongolinux: Will we point Amprolla at the LTS repositories?
02:59.22masonFor that matter, do we already?
02:59.27golinuxAlready does
03:00.08masonJessie LTS ended a couple months ago. Strech/ASCII should go to 2022.
03:01.26golinuxYes, in June
03:01.44golinuxThere were some updates after that.
03:01.56golinuxBut now very quiet
03:02.15golinuxThose repos are archived
03:02.59golinuxThat happened while you couldn't make the meets.  Probably was discussed on the ML
03:04.04masonYeah, there was a good gap in there.

10:12.46systemdleteWhich is more recent, rsyslog 8.24.0 (ascii) or rsyslog 8.1901.0 (beowulf)?
10:13.22systemdleteif beowulf's version is newer, then why is the version number... uh... ???
10:13.57JorilBullseye has 8.2006
10:14.13JorilMaybe they switched to YYMM ?
10:14.22systemdleteand bullseye corresponds to... ?
10:15.01JorilDevuan 4 Chimaera
10:15.29systemdleteright, which I heard was Daedalus?
10:15.42systemdleteoh no
10:15.46systemdleteyou're right
10:15.56JorilI guess Daedalus is for Devuan 5 :D
10:16.01systemdleteyeah. sid
10:16.19fsmithredno, sid=ceres
10:16.43systemdleteI thought ceres was the dev version
10:17.03fsmithredceres=sid=unstable
10:17.06fsmithredalways
10:17.07systemdleteceres is whatever the current dev version is
10:17.16systemdleteit won't always be sid.
10:18.05fsmithredyeah, when bullseye goes stable, there will be a new testing suite. I don't know the name that debian will use.
10:18.06systemdletehttps://devuan.org/os/releases
10:18.27systemdleteOh, I don't know that.
10:18.35fsmithredyeah, thanks. I was one of the people to proofread that page.
10:18.50systemdleteAnyway, it sounds like rsyslog is going sort of to yymm releases
10:19.19systemdleteI just wish they'd drop the 8.x part though.  It just creates more confusion.
10:20.31systemdleteThanks Joril.  I suspected it might be that, but with the 8. part in front it is kind of... half-done
10:21.36systemdleteThe good part is that I hear the new rsyslog (8.1901) has new syntax -- maybe a type that actually works.  I've been hacking at it for a day now in ascii and it seems like 1/2 of the syntax does not work or only a little bit.
10:21.59systemdletethe web pages are incomplete or a bit misleading.
10:24.04systemdleteSo I removed the multi-bay rack that was creating all sorts of fun on the one PC and moved the drives into internal bays.  All of the drives work normal and get speeds of 3.0gbps.
10:24.07systemdleteBUT
10:24.54systemdleteget this -- I hooked up the rack to my other PC here, externally because the box is not large enough for the rack, and all those old 500GB disks which I thought had died months ago...
10:25.03systemdleteum.  They are all working inside the rack!
10:25.36systemdleteSo, gnarface's theory about the controller on the mobo of the 1st machine may have been spot on.
10:25.54systemdleteI didn't believe it because, nominally, some of the disks were working.
10:26.19systemdleteAnd, strangely, the new disks are all working connected directly to the mobo sata sockets
10:27.20*** join/#devuan pav5088_ (~pav5088@175.39.157.104)
10:27.33systemdleteI have assembled several raid arrays with 3 of the older drives which appeared to not work in the rack on the 1st machine. They failover properly as they are supposed to when I remove a drive or force a failure with mdadm.
10:27.55systemdleteI am thinking that gnarface was right on the money from the get-go.
10:28.20fsmithredthat's not a rare occurrance
10:28.57systemdleteI wonder... I am thinking of ordering a pci sata controller, sticking it the box, reconnecting the raid and see if the thing works right
10:29.00crashoverrideoccurence
10:29.23crashoverrideunless you're talking about eyes that got really rancid.
10:29.33fsmithredhuh, I thought this thing had spell-check
10:29.56systemdletefsmithred is an independant thinker, that's why
10:30.52fsmithredtoo many years since my last spelling bee
10:31.55crashoverride:P
10:32.40systemdleteI've given up my own role as spelling and grammar nazi.  It's a losing battle, especially as newcomers increasingly start writing and speaking English.  I think we just make it more difficult for them to nitpick all of this.
10:33.16systemdleteBesides, I would not mind at all if English were a bit more orthogonal.
10:33.25systemdleteorthographic?
10:33.35systemdletesee, I don't even know
10:34.07crashoverrideahahaha
10:34.46systemdleteI have a brand new ASRock mobo here I could install and replace the asus board.  Best part of that is it supports SATA III (6.0mbps)
10:34.47crashoverrideon imgur there's a photo of a covenant baptist church sign saying: "Thou shalt no covid thy neighbor's life"
10:35.11systemdlete(appropriate, crashoverride)
10:35.12fsmithredlol
10:35.29crashoverridesorry for the offtopic :D
10:35.31fsmithredyou think the asrock will be better than the asus?
10:35.43crashoverridestatistically, better only for RMA
10:35.51fsmithredah, yeah
10:35.55systemdletenot necessarily.  But I'd think the sata ports would be in better order.
10:35.56systemdleteooh.
10:35.59systemdletereally?
10:36.03systemdleteASRock not good?
10:36.18systemdleteSo, maybe better to order that pci card then?
10:36.19fsmithredmy "no" is based on a single data point
10:36.34fsmithredtry it before you spend money
10:36.46systemdletefsmithred:  One customer experience data point is all it takes.
10:37.02systemdletehow about you crashoverride?
10:37.33systemdleteThing is, being as lazy as I am, I really don't want to do all the work of replacing the board, recabling, etc.
10:37.44systemdletePopping in a cheap card seems easier
10:38.07fsmithredoh, you would need enough spare parts to hook up the board without putting it in the box
10:39.04systemdleteBesides, if I'm gonna replace the mobo, I want to get one of those nice cable management power supplies.  They're pricey, but I hate having to try to hide extra cables I'll never use.
10:39.18systemdletesees his credit card balance increasing. Oh well.
10:39.25systemdletespare parts?
10:39.41systemdleteIt has a video card built in, sound, etc.
10:39.53fsmithredspare power supply
10:40.03systemdleteOh, I get you.
10:40.24fsmithredborrow the peripherals just to test it
10:40.56fsmithredthen you can decide if you want to go through replacing mobo
10:42.18systemdletehttp://asrock.com/mb/AMD/970M%20Pro3/
10:42.40systemdleteI wonder if I have a working spare PS around here though.
10:43.05systemdleteYeah, it could be fun.  I'd just have to find a place to assemble it all.
10:45.48fsmithredneed ram, too
10:50.42systemdleteI actually have the 16gb ddr3 from the main box
10:53.21systemdleteyou know, I really SHOULD have splurged and gone 64gb even if the board couldn't do it -- this asrock can.
10:53.46systemdleteI've hit the 32gb mem limit already.  Funny how that happens.
10:54.07systemdleteRunning lots of VMs to test with.
10:54.15r3bootGet an old hypervisor ;)
10:54.56systemdletethat will teach me for being cheap.
10:55.01r3bootram is cheap in those things, plus you get all kinds of nice enterprisey features
10:55.04systemdlete(I can't help myself)
11:02.35systemdleter3boot:  Suggestions?
11:03.33systemdleteI just realized, fsmithred.  Not only do I have spare ddr3 memory, I actually have a spare x6 CPU that used to be in my main box.
11:03.40systemdleteI just need the power supply.
11:04.35r3bootfor a hypervisor? Check with (small) hosting companies. The average economical lifespan for a server is 5~7 years. Find one of those, and you can get them for the price of iron or free
11:05.05r3bootI picked up a dell r620 last christmas for free, with 2 x 6core xeon @ 2.2GHz + 256GB ram
11:05.07systemdleteyou are talking about some sort of hardware box?
11:05.15r3bootyes, physical servers
11:05.19systemdletehmmm.
11:05.29systemdleteHow much will my power bill go up?
11:05.48systemdleteWill I be leaving the neighborhood in the dark?
11:05.51r3bootthis box does 130W or so, idle
11:06.02r3bootso not that much tbh, atleast not for this configuration
11:06.13systemdleteI'll think about that.
11:06.45r3bootin .nl we also have companies like serverhome.nl, that allow you to buy ex enterprise stuff for consumer prices
11:06.45systemdletewhere did you come across them?  Craigslist?  or some industry magazine?
11:06.50*** join/#devuan detha (~detha@unaffiliated/detha)
11:06.55systemdleteah, ok
11:07.30systemdletewhat is the generic term I would search on?   "Hypervisor" gets a lot of hits for Hyper-V and similar products (software)
11:08.19r3bootI have a bunch of servers iig; I got a dell r710 from serverhome.nl (2 x 6core, 96GB ram, 6T storage, ~1000 euros), and @ home I've got the dell r620 and a supermicro chassis ( 2 x 6core, 32gb ram, 16x2T hw raid) for free (company I worked for wanted to get rid of them)
11:08.21systemdleteThat could be a lot of fun.
11:08.54r3bootthe keyword is hypervisor-class servers; You can recognize those by the huge amount of ram that is in here by default
11:09.17r3bootplus things like sr-iov
11:09.23systemdleteok, thanks again.  I will consider it.

17:04.08user__Anyone got ideas on how to tame ping? If it's not a policy?
17:05.17nemouser__: I know I can't ping without root on the freebsd server I have an account on. I assumed they were doing it at the device level
17:07.01user__Right. That is wrong. There are two possible solutions: "secure" rate limited ping (one usually) wrapper, seen on Suns and elsewhere, and simply using ping the old way, where only root could use the fast ping options.

17:20.41DPABoth is probably fine. For the latter, the fs needs to support attributes, and they have to be (and usually are) enabled.
17:20.41DPACapabilities are a kernel feature, they don't need userspace programs to work.
17:20.41DPAI can't tell why it didn't work initially, something must have changed. You didn't remount the rootfs or anything like that?

I suspected an intrusion and / or a trojaned package or two or three.
17:33.07user__worked fine for 2-3 days means over 2-3 reboots at least too.
17:34.00user__why is this whole security circus going on anyway? group and user permission based security works on huge systems, why are all these new toys needed?

17:43.38DPAuser__: I mostly agree that supplementary groups would in most case be sufficent and nicer for permission control, if tools and kernel interfaces
17:43.38DPAwould have been written with them in mind.

20:03.46gnarfacesuavedandy: the debian wiki page may still be accurate enough for this

20:06.10fsmithreduser__, xfce4-mixer no longer exists

20:08.50fsmithredapt install xwayland (maybe?)  If you try it, let us know if it works.
20:08.59suavedandyNo.
20:09.11suavedandyIt's a compatibility layer for Xorg.
20:09.23suavedandySway isn't here either.
20:09.39fsmithredthere are 161 packages with wayland in the name
20:09.50fsmithredno
20:10.00fsmithredthat's not accurate - maybe half that many
20:10.05suavedandySo basically, there are no Wayland compositors other than, say, GNOME or KDE.
20:10.15fsmithred53
20:10.16brocashelmthere's also enlightenment desktop
20:10.20brocashelmwhich uses wayland optionally
20:10.25suavedandyI guess.
20:10.35gnarfacei see sway in ceres
20:10.43suavedandyNo tiling WMs at all.
20:11.02suavedandyWait.
20:11.10suavedandyLet me check the Backports.

20:11.36gnarfaceinitial checks suggest this should all be identical to debian

20:12.00gnarfaceand in the same way
20:12.25brocashelmdebian's wiki speaks very fondly of wayland...
20:13.19suavedandyNo Sway in the Backports either.
20:13.36suavedandyAnd I was planning to use a tiling WM.
20:14.34gnarfacedebian's wiki also lists enlightenment, which is present
20:14.58suavedandyWell, MAYBE you can set up KDE to behave like that but that's a lot of extra work and KDE is still mouse-focused.
20:15.26suavedandyNot only do I want to use keybinds more but also my touchpad sucks.
20:15.59brocashelmi only used enlightenment briefly when i was testing a gentoo install. i found it bloated
20:15.59gnarfacewell, the relevant part is that it should be working, according to all accounts, just none of us have tested it
20:16.21suavedandyIs there a Wayland package tho?
20:16.47suavedandyHave you tried Enlightment, guys?
20:16.48gnarfacethat is not a measurement of whether it is working or not, apparently
20:16.58suavedandy*Enlightenment
20:17.03gnarfacei'm using enlightenment right now, just not with wayland
20:17.06suavedandyThat's a wordy word.
20:17.17brocashelmi only like xfce of all desktop environments and shilland isn't supported. i hope xfce will end up being the based and redpilled de not to use it, but who knows what their devs think
20:18.16crashoverridebrocashelm: debian has embraced "new stuff" way too easily in the last decade
20:18.46crashoverridewayland might not be as bad as systemd, but it certainly isn't the graal either.
20:19.02suavedandyI don't think it's necessarily a bad thing.
20:19.06brocashelmcrashoverride: it does not surprise me. ubuntu, red hat, and microsoft employees are maintaining debian packages
20:19.06crashoverridenope
20:19.09suavedandyOr a good thing.
20:19.20crashoverrideas an alternative it is a good thing
20:19.21brocashelmwayland is not a problem as long as it's still a choice
20:19.23gnarfaceenlightenment isn't as bloated as the output of "free -m" makes it seem; it caches aggressively to scale up well but scales down almost as well
20:19.28crashoverridebut so is Xorg
20:20.02crashoverridebrocashelm: exactly
20:20.09brocashelmxorg might not be perfect (no software is), but i don't see a real reason to scrap it entirely for some meme compositor
20:20.21crashoverrideyeah
20:20.50suavedandyIs Google involved in Debian?
20:20.52crashoverridewell, the reason is "debian used to be old as fuck, so let's blame it on how complicated software is"

20:33.47gnarfaceyes, and this is the 3rd time you've been told, read more carefully

20:34.19gnarfaceit's even ON that debian wiki page, which as far as i can tell is still completely systemd-agnostic for facts related to wayland/weston/xwayland/etc

20:34.56gnarfaceno i'm not talking about weston i'm talking about sway
20:35.53gnarfacehah oh well... somewhat complicating the matter is that it was just taken out of the repo between now and the last time i said it
20:36.13gnarfacei still have it here in my proxy even, but it just stopped showing up in pkginfo.devuan.org moments ago
20:36.21gnarfacei swear to you it used to be in testing and unstable though
20:36.24suavedandyHmmmm. I checked the backports for Sway before. Looks like it isn't backported yet then.

20:36.34gnarfacei'd say just wait
20:36.39gnarfacethis is bleeding-edge stuff

22:37.05golinuxdanuan: Do not use suite name in Devuan for sources.list.  Use the codename
22:38.01danuansorry i do not , just as a long time debian user  i still call em that
22:38.01brocashelmthat is true. the planet names are pretty cool, anyway
22:38.01golinuxIf you use "testing" or "stable", you could find yourself in a world of hurt
22:38.42golinuxFactoid . . . one of Devuan's creators was an astronomer

23:55.11danuani was just wondering what would happened , and would it only happened when the branch gets moved up from unstable to testing ? and it would seem as you did dist-upgrade  next time you messes with apt ?
23:56.32golinuxBulleye will be stable long before chimaera is stable
23:58.22golinuxIf you are on stable (Beowulf) and Bullseye goes "stable" you will land on Chimaera which will not yet be stable.
23:59.11golinuxOops.
