| 18:30.50 | aeryndunham | I just haven't really learned any programming since last year when it was too hard; I've worked mostly in web development stuff this year |
| 18:31.07 | SunSparc | And here is a fun Private (public) leaderboard to join. 193188-4bdca304 |
| 18:31.51 | SunSparc | aeryndunham: Use whatever tool you have to solve the problems. It is not so much about the language you use, just solving puzzles. |
| 18:31.59 | aeryndunham | Yeah, I know |
| 18:32.11 | aeryndunham | what leaderboard is that? |
| 18:32.15 | SunSparc | And the more you program, the better you get. |
| 18:32.22 | aeryndunham | What language will you be using this year? |
| 18:32.26 | SunSparc | That is the SmartyStreets leaderboard. |
| 18:32.38 | SunSparc | works at https://smartystreets.com |
| 18:33.01 | SunSparc | Haha, I just answered that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/7ftrie/which_language_will_you_use_this_year_why_do_you/ |
| 18:33.09 | SunSparc | Probably Go, maybe Python. |
| 18:33.19 | aeryndunham | hah |
| 18:33.22 | SunSparc | Gotta run to lunch! bbl |
| 18:33.27 | aeryndunham | ok |
| 20:46.03 | aeryndunham | just ordered a secret santa gift she can't decide was cool or stupid |
| 20:46.07 | aeryndunham | hopes cool |
| 20:48.29 | spangborn | Oh right, I need to start doing shopping for that |
| 20:49.34 | aeryndunham | it was for my world of warcraft guild :p |
| 20:50.12 | spangborn | I got the coworker that sits right next to me |
| 20:50.16 | spangborn | and I have no idea what to get him |
| 20:51.52 | aeryndunham | I struggled as well |

| 20:53.55 | youtah | So.... did they rename ESXi to vSphere Hypervisor or something? |
| 20:54.01 | youtah | wanted to play with ESXi |
| 20:54.40 | spangborn | youtah: can you get me one of your company's fancy pieces of network hardware for cheaps |
| 20:54.56 | youtah | you wanna play with some hardware? |
| 20:55.13 | spangborn | I want to do some more sophisticated network configuration than DD-WRT will let me do |
| 20:55.25 | youtah | VLANs? |
| 20:55.27 | spangborn | Yep |
| 20:55.36 | spangborn | Mostly because of a hardware limitation with the router's chipset |
| 20:55.36 | youtah | :) |
| 20:55.45 | youtah | VLANs are great for isoalting IoT things from China |
| 20:55.49 | youtah | isolating |
| 20:55.51 | spangborn | Yes, that's the plan :) |
| 20:55.54 | youtah | lol |
| 20:56.00 | spangborn | I wanted to be able to VLAN tag by MAC |
| 20:56.06 | spangborn | and I can't do that with a broadcom chipset |
| 20:58.36 | frostyfrog | aeryndunham: Yay! You're on! :D |
| 20:58.47 | frostyfrog | Cool script you wrote yesterday :D |
| 20:59.00 | aeryndunham | is back at her desk now, so can IRC! |
| 20:59.06 | aeryndunham | haha it was terrible but thank you |
| 20:59.22 | frostyfrog | that too. :3 having the ability to IRC is awesome. |
| 20:59.51 | aeryndunham | has literally nothing else to do at work today |
| 20:59.52 | frostyfrog | I've seen worse. Trust me, it was good. |
| 21:00.01 | aeryndunham | it's only 4:00; I might pack up and go |
| 21:00.14 | aeryndunham | I tried to make the script fancier but got frustrated |
| 21:00.26 | frostyfrog | Then they'll give you another task, if memory serves me right ;p |
| 21:01.10 | aeryndunham | my boss got fired and they decided not to replace him |
| 21:01.16 | aeryndunham | so I don't even know who I report to anymore |
| 21:01.18 | frostyfrog | :o |
| 21:01.53 | spangborn | Fired? Youch |
| 21:02.07 | spangborn | Hopefully not a disciplinary thing |
| 21:02.32 | aeryndunham | He got into an argument with HIS boss, who is a tyrant |
| 21:03.07 | aeryndunham | Standing up to MGJ is a quick way to get fired |
| 21:03.21 | spangborn | That would do it |
| 21:03.32 | spangborn | Well at least it wasn't like a sexual harassment thing |
| 21:03.40 | spangborn | As seems to be the trend in society of late |
| 21:03.49 | aeryndunham | oh, no, I thought he was an OK guy |
| 21:03.55 | aeryndunham | didn't like the way he ran things, but he was ok |
| 21:04.45 | aeryndunham | What I was going to try to do today was take the script and make it so it ran it on every file in a directory and output the results nicely in a file, but I could not. Ill try again tomorrow. |
| 21:05.30 | spangborn | Recursion woo |
| 21:05.51 | jfindlay | does anyone here have experience connecting to sonicwall from linux? |
| 21:06.38 | frostyfrog | aeryndunham: I'm curious as to what issues you were running into. I'm certain that some of us could help. |
| 21:06.47 | spangborn | jfindlay: I'm assuming you already found this https://superuser.com/questions/141834/connecting-to-a-sonicwall-vpn-from-a-linux-machine |
| 21:06.57 | jfindlay | the only options I see are strongswan and a hundred lines of config files on either end, or download a proprietary java turd |
| 21:07.04 | aeryndunham | frostyfrog: I feel like it shouldn't be hard, but I jsut couln't get one bash script to call another |
| 21:07.32 | jfindlay | spangborn: yes |
| 21:07.36 | frostyfrog | `bash my_second_script.sh`? |
| 21:09.37 | jfindlay | not even the networkmanager behemoth knoweth how to use strongswan |
| 21:10.29 | spangborn | jfindlay: it can |
| 21:10.42 | spangborn | You just gotta install the plugin |
| 21:10.57 | spangborn | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-strongswan |
| 21:11.40 | spangborn | network manager only supports PPTP out of the box lol |
| 21:12.55 | frostyfrog | had to use Net Extender for that >_> |
| 21:13.07 | spangborn | googles Net Extender |
| 21:13.20 | spangborn | Oh their client |
| 21:13.30 | frostyfrog | also has a VPN VM for isolation and network issues. |
| 21:13.34 | frostyfrog | yup |
| 21:13.36 | spangborn | The one mentioned in the answer I linked to earlier lol |

| 21:23.00 | jfindlay | frostyfrog: you have a VM just for connecting to difficult VPNs? |
| 21:23.13 | frostyfrog | All VPNs |
| 21:23.49 | jfindlay | is any VPN not difficult? |
| 21:23.58 | frostyfrog | Just because of the fact that I've had problems in the past, where I VPN into something and lose internet |
| 21:25.23 | frostyfrog | It's a hand built Linux VM running any of the VPN tools that I need to connect to a site (currently: vpnc, NetExtender) |
| 21:27.05 | frostyfrog | I'm using libvirt to manage the VM, and VNC (over ssh reverse(?) proxy) to use and manage the VM. If I lose connection to the VM for any reason, I can restart it. |
| 21:27.43 | spangborn | Reverse proxy eh |
| 21:27.44 | frostyfrog | The setup also allows me to connect to the customer VPNs from home. I like it :) |
| 21:28.09 | spangborn | So it automatically SSH's to a box and you the connect to it from/via that box |
| 21:29.09 | frostyfrog | Well, you know. I run `ssh -L 5902:127.0.0.1:5901 -N -f -l frostyfrog 10.0.0.17` from either my home or work machine, then I run `vncviewer 127.0.0.1:2` |
| 21:30.16 | spangborn | Ah, yep |
| 21:30.33 | frostyfrog | Gotta make sure it's encrypted and what not :p |
| 21:36.17 | jfindlay | seems like a bounty of great ideas |
| 21:36.30 | jfindlay | why do you run vncviewer against localhost, port 2? |
| 21:37.20 | jfindlay | do you run that from your home/work machine or from the vnc jumper? |
| 21:37.23 | frostyfrog | SSH is listening to it and forwarding the traffic (over SSH) to 10.0.0.17's localhost (port 1) |
| 21:37.33 | frostyfrog | home/work machine |
| 21:37.38 | jfindlay | cool' |
| 21:37.40 | SunSparc | For secret santa my work is using this web tool: https://www.secretsantaorganizer.com/ |
| 21:37.49 | jfindlay | I need to make a setup like that |
| 21:38.08 | frostyfrog | I'm willing to help :p |
| 21:38.19 | frostyfrog | saves SunSparc's link. |
| 21:38.40 | jfindlay | frostyfrog: you should blog about this so that you take time to explain how it all works and then I can read it and not have to exert any effort figuring out things on my own |
| 21:38.57 | spangborn | SunSparc: I wonder if that's what the organizer of my work one did |
| 21:39.51 | jfindlay | levi came up with a great verbed word a couple of days ago: cargo-culting. 'That way I can cargo-cult frostyfrog's setup until it works, and then I won't need to understand anything. It's brilliant!' |
| 21:39.51 | frostyfrog | Is that what blog things are for? Huh. :p (I continually "start" a blog, then it goes away when I've forgotten about it for long enough) |
| 21:40.35 | jfindlay | me too |
| 21:41.44 | jfindlay | frostyfrog: I may pester you until I've gotten sonicwall to behave :) |
| 21:43.10 | jfindlay | the limit of my vpn experience so far is with openvpn |
| 21:43.55 | frostyfrog | Which can be a pain to setup, depending on what you're doing. |
| 21:44.57 | SunSparc | spangborn: It has been pretty handy for us. |
| 21:45.18 | jfindlay | for now, I'm trying to connect to a host behind sonicwall |
| 21:49.05 | frostyfrog | One of the weirdest issues that I ever had with sonic wall was, I could only connect if I got an odd numbered IP. |
| 21:49.10 | frostyfrog | It was bizarre. |
| 21:49.30 | frostyfrog | I'm assuming it was on the server end because I don't have the issue anymore. |
| 21:49.41 | frostyfrog | (er, connect to hosts*) |
| 21:50.30 | jfindlay | like maybe a transient bug in a running instance |
| 21:50.57 | frostyfrog | shrugs. |
| 21:51.25 | frostyfrog | It only happened to my linux machine. I've since rebooted it, so maybe that was the problem. _shrugs_ |
| 22:03.33 | jfindlay | I've seen plenty of bizarre bugs doing integration testing |
| 22:06.40 | jfindlay | but at least in that case you get to track them down and annihilate them |
| 22:19.48 | frostyfrog | :D |
