02:01.52Zeluti have no faith in our election system. our next president has been bought and paid for years ago.
02:02.20Heartsbaneoh so who did they buy?

02:03.30atoponcethey bought obama
02:03.58Zeluthillary has a lot of money from china i hear..
02:07.21Heartsbaneatoponce: you think so because the entire time that I have been eligable to vote the winning choice have been; Bush, Clinton, Bush... and if I see Clinton again I just don't want to be responsible for my actions

03:00.53atoponceherlo: what version of moinmoin is the fedora wiki running?
03:01.04herloold
03:01.24herloatoponce: don't actually know, but its older than 1.5 whcih is what utosf is running
03:02.30findlay~update herlo
03:02.46herloatoponce: probably because moinmoin is such a pita to update
03:03.10atoponcereally? why's it so difficult?
03:03.11herloevery time they move to a new version, they change enough to make it not completely compatible with the last
03:03.19atoponcethat's lame
03:03.25herloso little things get dropped
03:03.26herloyeah
03:03.34herlotell me about it
03:03.42herlothe transition from 1.5 to 1.6 is better
03:03.51herlono really bad transitions
03:04.02herlojust nitpicky stuff that can be scripted
03:04.12atoponceso, i'm like really impressed with upstart
03:04.23atoponcei'm surprised we haven't had a solid sysvinit replacement earlier
03:04.24herlocool
03:04.51atoponcesysvinit may not be "broken", per se, but it certaninly needs updating, just as cron does
03:04.59herlomaybe
03:05.24atoponcei had no idea, but there are a lot of init replacements, not just upstart
03:05.58herloright, knew that
03:12.14Zeluthow can i tell tar to unarchive its files to a specific directory?

03:45.59tgelterI think I could probably fix it by recreating /lib/modules/2.6.24 but I'm not sure it'd be the same as I had before

17:19.35tonedevfnow if you were to say, 'it crashes nautilus' that would be in no way surprising
17:22.08mheathtonedevf: a properly configured Nautilus wouldn't crash.
17:22.26mheathAs Nautilus is a _FILE BROWSER_, it would correctly open that URL in the correct application - Firefox :-)
17:25.21tonedevfuh huh
17:27.21tonedevfthat's like, 'a properly configure Windows Explorer...'  most people don't realize this fundamental piece of the operating environment IS an app AND that they must learn to properly configure it ; )
17:31.33Kemotahatonedevf: IE can be properly configured?
17:31.54tonedevfnot IE, Windows Explorer
17:31.59tonedevfand yes, it can
17:32.02KemotahaIs that just del explorer.exe?
17:32.51tonedevfno no, a much more thorough way would be to use fdisk, but that's another topic

20:50.05tonedevfHeartsbane: who's your isp?
21:00.01Zelutso ufw in hardy is pretty simple--pretty cool.
21:00.17Zelutsudo ufw default deny; sudo ufw allow 22/tcp. firewall done.
21:32.11atoponceZelut: ufw is the frontend to netfilter?
21:32.18Zelutyeah
21:32.32Zelutreally easy syntax. you don't need to know iptables at all.
21:32.59atoponcedoes it handle everything? like the nat and magle tables and connection tracking?
21:33.00Zelutsudo ufw allow proto udp 53 192.168.0.254 to any port 53.
21:33.18atoponcewhat's the package name? is it nufw?
21:33.25Zelutthat allows udp connections on 53 to server1 from any --sport 53, for example.
21:33.34Zelutufw i believe.. probably only available in hardy.
21:33.44atoponceok. didn't see it in gutsy
21:34.07Zelutsudo ufw allow 22/tcp. - open 22/tcp on any
21:34.26Zelutsudo ufw default allow|deny is similar to iptables -P INPUT drop|accept.
21:34.38atoponceinteresting
21:40.00Zelutwe've also got selinux testable in permissive mode on the ubuntu-hardened team.
21:40.11Zelutpackages available on the hardened ppa

22:07.10Heartsbanetonedevf: xmission
22:08.31Yorokobiyeah, I heard of some effort to make iptables more pf-like; I guess a wrapper is the best way to go since pf isn't easily portable to the Linux kernel.
