i find it always funny when components that should increase security actually decrease security at some point in time... anti virus and such are a great example. always.
last week or so a vuln in windows defender made me chuckle and in November Eset decided to flag the (slmgr.VBS!) script that does the licensing stuff as malicious. i mean they weren't totally wrong there... the same guys fucked up their management agent leaving a gaping hole but this seems good practice now. i think every anti virus vendor has had this kind of vulnerability...

we need to go back to the old days where people paid with gold coins and there were no stocks or crap like that

with no kings or anything it would be pretty fair

and if you ever had to deal with tangible shit left over from the previous generation you know damn well shit gets lost or stolen lol
you think switching now would somehow turn us back to dying of old age at 30?
deft pewter
No-one said that. But having a barter economy doesn't put everyone on a level footing.
Medieval times were basically barter economies... and the whole thing was still basically a fiefdom.
There's always going to be an underclass, unfortunately.
forest edge
it makes having real skill more profitable, and noway to "cheat" some system to gain more
deft pewter
No way to cheat? You employ people and you pay them less than their labour is worth, while skimming the rest off the top.
It's a proven system that's been around for millenia.
Way before stock markets 😉

I don't think so.

I know so, people are way more educated now
just because they don't come to this discord tinkerer lol
deft pewter
There's no difference. Most things can be viewed as hierarchies. Usually pyramid-shaped hierarchies. You get a few rich and powerful people at the time and masses of poor people at the bottom.
That's never been any different.

"Educated" .... right that explains the stack of conspiracy theorists... the folks that won't get vaccines because they cause autism/allow the gov to track you...

Sure, QoL for those at the bottom has improved over time... but the disparity between top and bottom has always been there.

thus they don't exactly set the line
deft pewter
I dunno. They're not 60IQ folk. They're 'educated' in the sense they made it through high school, work regular jobs, live regular lives.
They're not outliers.
Or rather, their education level doesn't make them outliers, only their ideals do.

in a barter economy
deft pewter
In your ideal world, how are you even considering the neighbour as 'rich' if they have nothing?
Keep it consistent.
They must have something that means they're considered more wealthy. Maybe other assets with value considered greater than that of food itself.
They might be the only doctor in the village, in which case their skills are worth more than a field of potatoes.
forest edge
if we're talking tangible money only, a son could inherit wealth
deft pewter
I'm sure in a barter economy, I could sell my skills as a doctor to get a free meal any time I wanted to.
forest edge
without having anything that made said money
deft pewter
But that's no different to today's economy. Inheritance today is digital, you're just talking about coins.
How money is represented is irrelevant. Money is still money. You still have a number of dollars.

Probably 🙂

All my friends who works with azure say they wish they had gone with aws though
molten osprey
I have been with DreamHost for eons. I have a shared hosting account there and a dozen or so domain names, most an empty site and some with email (most email points to Google from back when their "Apps" accounts were free).
A friend suggested I rent a $5 server from Linode and stick my stuff on there.
clear ferry
Never touched or know anyone who uses it, so no idea
molten osprey
I've had an aws instance to play with in the past, but their pricing is confusing
I'm guessing you did not get certified to dabble with $5 per month servers though, so perhaps not your area of expertise 😄
molten osprey
Can I use "EBS" as the root-fs of an ec2 instance? I'm guessing no.
deft pewter
You can do quite a lot on AWS for free if you don't need much compute.
molten osprey
It doesn't look like the storage is free?
deft pewter
If you're talking about static sites, don't bother spinning up an EC2, just host out of S3.
You'll pay pennies per month.
molten osprey
I'd prefer to have this ec2 instance. Perhaps I'll learn a thing or two.
deft pewter
The attached storage on the smallest EC2s is free, I think. But you talking tiny things like t2-micro that can barely do anything
Seriously, if it's a static site, EC2 is absolutely the wrong approach. Wrong took for the job and way more expensive for the capabilities you care about.
molten osprey
I also need to host mail
molten osprey
I guess I could just forward those two domains to one of my Google Apps accounts
deft pewter
And for the occasional compute tasks, learn to use AWS Lambda.
Most people don't need provisioned servers but don't realise there are better alternatives.
molten osprey
DNS for a dozen or so domains?
1 zone = 1 domain, right?
so $0.50 per domain per month, so 17 domains would cost me $8.50 just for the DNS

Most are for a friend who keeps coming up with new brands for his fashion biz

The $10.95 is shared hosting for unlimited domains, web hosting, mail hosting.
It isn’t high performance, of course. But I don’t have any real need for that.
deft pewter
Unlimited storage and bandwidth?
deft pewter
So you'd need to hit 22 domains on AWS for it to cost more there.
Check out the costs for S3. It's almost free unless you're moving GBs around all the time
molten osprey
I didn’t know I could host sites on s3. Will have to have a look at that.
deft pewter
It was one of my first suggestions
There's a little bit of work to do with getting HTTPS set up but it's still fairly easy. I'll dig out a link later when I'm not on mobile.

The last time I managed a web server was in 1997 for worldonline.nl where I worked at the time. I bet nothing has changed! 😉
(That was an ISP)
odd kindle
but again, it comes back to wanting to tinker vs just wanting a simple / cost-effective solution
deft pewter
Ah... GitHub Pages. The most professional and flexible solution around.
odd kindle
depending on what you're after github pages IS by far the best solution.
trying to get people to use more advanced / complex solutions just for the sake of it is just wrong. Now if you're after the tinkering, if that is the goal then definitly go aws / gcp
molten osprey
What’s gcp?
deft pewter
depending on what you're after github pages IS by far the best solution.
Translation: If you want zero flexibility and to only deploy static pages from a GitHub repo, this is a solution.
Google Cloud Platform (or something)
Basically Google's answer to AWS.
molten osprey
Oh right
deft pewter
Since rob's already said he also wants mail as part of whatever platform he goes for, can we please stop shilling GH Pages?
Either stick with DreamHosting or move to AWS/GCP/Azure. I'd recommend AWS.
Massive platform, great variety of tools that all work with each other, huge community and amazing documentation.
molten osprey
I’m going to check out AWS’ non-ec2 approach.
deft pewter
GCP is probably close and Azure is a bit newer to the game.
odd kindle
from what I read he was using google apps for the email, I would have just used that. But I'm out not going to argue this
deft pewter
And this is what you're after for setting up HTTPS with an S3 static site, rob: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/website-hosting-custom-domain-walkthrough.html
odd kindle
@molten osprey Go with what you want, but realize that this is a very elitist channel and people will recommend the "coolest" not the most suited solution.
deft pewter
If you end up migrating all 17 domains across, you probably don't want to do that manually 17 times. AWS has another service called CloudFormation that lets you define an application stack in code and have AWS go deploy/update the stack.
There's nothing elitist about recommending flexible toolsets.
Cloud-native tools aren't only popular amongst big businesses. They're great for hobbyists too.
clear ferry
Mmmm uptime, very elitist 
deft pewter
Their API surfaces are amazing too. I have my GitHub repo hooked into AWS via GitHub Actions. There's almost nothing you can't do via the CLI or SDK.
At the end of the day, it's going to come down to someone wanting a bundled solution or waiting a tailored solution. You could shop around forever to find a bundle that suits your exact needs... or you could build it yourself on a cloud platform. There's just a learning curve involved.
molten osprey
Is CloudFront an AWS service too?
deft pewter
Everything I've mentioned is
There are something like 300 AWS services but you'll never even look at most of them.
molten osprey
@odd kindle appreciate the comments, but am going to give it a try because it’ll give me an insight into AWS. I’m not in IT anymore but a nerd at heart and I marvel at how AWS is set up.

S3 + CloudFront + Route53 gets you your HTTPS static site. Add other services into the mix as needed.

EB isn't all bad but I wish I didn't have to work with provisioned servers at all.
We have stuff running on a huge number of EC2s still and it's a PITA. So much that can go wrong.
molten osprey
@deft pewter I have 1 wordpress site. What would be the solution for that?
Don’t stay “replace Wordpress” 😉
Hehe
deft pewter
That'll probably want a provisioned server. I'm not 100% sure since I stay away from WordPress 😂
Google will know
Can it run out of a docker container? Might be able to spin up a docker host for less expense than a full EC2
molten osprey
Ec2 is free, for a small instance. That Wordpress site gets virtually no traffic so I’m sure something simple would suffice?
deft pewter
Yeah, that might do the trick. Can you replicate it there for testing before turning off the old one?
molten osprey
Maybe? WP used to be a bit annoying when moving around. But I can try.
deft pewter
t2.micro have barely any compute power, so I'm not sure how PHP will hold up. Might be sluggish
hushed basalt
I'd stay away from aws it's just not for tiny hosted sites

I'm with @odd kindle on this one
deft pewter
I know AWS isn't the easiest solution for everything but the reason I'm a big advocate is that it can reduce costs and improve performance if you pick the right services for each application.
hushed basalt
Who cares about $10/month vs $1 a month.
odd kindle
@hushed basalt Im not alone 🙂
hushed basalt
At this scale it's meaningless
deft pewter
Not just cost. Uptime and performance too 🤷♂️
odd kindle
You seem so be missing the fact that your fuckups also count towards uptime. Aws allows for much more fuckups
deft pewter
You can fuck up on any platform...
It's okay, rob. Stay on DreamHosting. You're not allowed to explore other services in case you fuck up.
deft pewter
Loads of cloud native services are interesting. The hard part is picking the right services.
odd kindle
You can fuck up in all services but the more moving part you have the more likely it is to do so. And again, not saying you shouldn’t. But when estimating uptime you should take all aspects into account
deft pewter
I'm no expert but I'm happy to offer my experience, rob.
hushed basalt
Even if he did want to rearchitect to static sites netlify would be a way better option
molten osprey
It does DNS mgmt too
deft pewter
And the emails? And the possibility to add in sections of compute?
If you only have one or two endpoints that need compute, AWS will let you bind a couple of Lambdas to your API. How do you handle that with static-only platforms?
molten osprey
Looks like Lightsails DNS mgmt even let’s you point to S3-hosted sites.

Route53 on its own is a massive selling point. I have my main domains out on the web but can dynamically point subdomains at local services behind a dynamic IP

You can do the same with cloudflares workers @hushed basalt if you haven’t looked at it. It’s honestly really nice.

AWS issues the certs, so that's one less thing to worry about renewing.

I have some experience with AWS, I run a tiny EC2 to have my own dns server out there. It's not that easy indeed.,
hushed basalt
Aws doesn't hold your hand, their customer base is people using their infrastructure at a higher level

I’m going to try it. If it ends up being too much of a challenge, I’ll just change DNS back to DreamHost. No harm in giving it a shot.

Places like netlify exist because aws doesn't care about small scale
deft pewter
I love AWS because it keeps everything in one platform. That's not going to be everyone's priority. I've got a blog hosted via static S3. I've got bots running as scheduled lambdas. There's almost no limit to what you can do, you just have to find the 'right way' to do it.

I don't know why you keep claiming that. There's nothing wrong with running small sites out of S3.
molten osprey
I run one at home (two, actually), but nothing public.
hushed basalt
If you want a developer friendly VPS digital ocean is great
deft pewter
Netlify exists because people want an easy-to-use solution that just works out of the box, not because it's 'better for small scale'.
odd kindle
I mean, I'm not saying aws is bad. I was part of running a multi-continent aws setup that costs $10ks/a month. It's very good. But it's also complex
hushed basalt
That's exactly what people st small scale want
tawny orchid
Why do you run your own DNS server?
because it gives me more flexibility for my domains ( and a friends) including record types most providers dont offer, and dynamic updates
deft pewter
But that's not because of the scale, it's just an overlap between what they're hosting and their IT skills.

Thanks for the discussion!! 🙂

You're quite welcome
molten osprey
Evening here so best not get behind my computer right now and start digging into this. But I will have a go at this tomorrow morning.
tawny orchid
and thanks too, It looks like except dynamic updates ( which I don't use much) route53 could be something for me
deft pewter
You mean DDNS?
Run that locally to deploy an API Gateway-fronted Lambda function that updates your Route53 CNAMEs
I only started using it recently on Tinkerer's recommendation but it's been smooth.
CNAME/A/whatever. I always forget the types.
Once it's running, you just set up ddclient on your server to occasionally check for changed external IP addresses and call into your Lambda.
tawny orchid
no, not ddns, but that does look sweet! instead of using dyndns hmmm
and what I meant is clients that update the records with their IP's, as I'm lazy and don't want to type over ipv6 records
deft pewter
and what I meant is clients that update the records with their IP's, as I'm laz...
I think we're talking about the same thing. Adding/updating records to have the most recent IP.
tawny orchid
maybe... ddns usualy is used to register your outside ipv4 address, but I'm talking inside addresses of host. and like I said, not using it much at the moment, or at all, I think I broke something a while back
I guess route53 is cheaper then ec2. still reading about it, I wonder if it also allows non amazon dns as secundaries
deft pewter
It all comes down to how many domains you'll manage, I guess. As rob pointed out, it's something like 50c/month per hosted zone (unlimited subdomains/records per zone).
I only manage two zones right now, so I'm not worried about the cost. WorkMail probably costs more than all my other apps combined... that's not cheap 😄
But based on the name, you know they're pitching it at businesses.
molten osprey

Why not run something internal for internal use? I run dnsmasq to resolve hostnames on my local network.
tawny orchid
currently on my dns server there is 1 domain for myself and 3 or 4 for a friend, who runs the 2nd dns server that is my secondary ( and vice versa)
molten osprey
Oh right you mentioned that.
tawny orchid
yeah I have internal dns, but I'd like the internal machines to have a host.subdomain.domain.com name... not that it's working right now 🙂

One of the reasons I didn’t go for EdgeRouter was because the hardware had no 10Gbps ports.
Except that one $1600 one.
tawny orchid
but Gb sfp in case we ever get fiber here... fingers crossed
molten osprey
Yeah fiber direct in is nice. Although I have an SFP+ port on mine, the cage doesn’t support GPON modules. So I will still need an ONT.
If there was a device with 10Gbps ports, I’d have gone EdgeRouter. EdgeOS (I think) looked cool. Basically Debian iirc.

yeah you have a basic linux prompt under the normal cli

I've used that already too, to do some geo blocking in the firewall

Hi,
I wonder if somebody could help me.
I would be interested on matrix notification in HA. There is a new SDK matrix-nio which can do end2end encryption and much. The problem is I'm not very familiar with asyncio... Do anybody know the author of the matrix notification integration?
Second I have a custom integration for RPI's PiFace digital2 extension to handle more than one of these. It works and I was not able (mainly because time) to make it backward compatible with the old implementation and so it was not merged into HA core.
Third I would like to read these channels with my matrix client. I created a bot in discord for it and I just learned that I need to send a link to GUILD's admin to give access to this bot GUILD wide. Could this be possible? 😉

But yeah... fairly productive Friday afternoon by my usual standards.

Is that a camera "trick" or eye "trick"?

@last cedar it uses the same onboard sensors it uses to auto drive i assume

This is the first winter driving in real snow, and I hate VW dsg. I would hate having an autopilot car

the teslas are magical with the motor per wheel shit. they react magically

and as long as you don't mind buying a new car every 10 years...

True, probably better with an electric motor rather than a silly auto box
So much more control though with a manual, IMO

till your foot slips

Put in 2nd gear and gently lift clutch, no worries about spinning wheels and mpving sideways into car in next lane.
Auto I have now is like, ok not moving, a bit more throttle, okay 2000 rpm and spinning wheels in D2
My foot never slips. Raccoons have grippy feets

auto transmissions come a long way since the days of manual being standard
forest edge
manual hasn't been standard here is holy hell, don't even remember lol

Could also be the actual implimentation, I don't think it works too well anyway
Doesn't pair with the smallest 1,6 engine well IMO

The manual I had was the small 2 liter huge difference

Yes, did you think thry let raccoons drive cars in Sweden?
I am not even allowed to be here. If they find me I would be shot

the last car I owned with a transmission was a Honda Fit
1.3L of fury
it would've been boring as shit with a slushbox

Hehe
Our volvo is manual, still like new, after new bushes and ample amounts of mos2
Only 21 years old, almost worn in now
Quite amazing how stuff has moved "recently"
The more modern diesels here brought a wave of automatic cars
last dirge
because nobody wants to shift that much
last cedar
And now that a lot have gone to hybrid, those are basically exclusivly automatic. I don't even know of non hybrid drivetrains in a hybrid body being able to ordered in manual
last dirge
multi-speed automatics are WAY better than they used to be
last cedar
Yeah, apart from the winter control, it is so much more comfortable with auto
Even that caddy 1.6 is 7 speed
Although first is like a helper gear more than anything
deft pewter
First gear only exists to scare pedestrians when they take too long to get off the road.

President Calvin Coolidge and his wife Grace had a pet racoon, btw
The more you know
deft pewter
You're thinking of 'eat'.
deft pewter
You're supposed to skin them first. 🤦♂️
deft pewter
Quickly. Rip it off quick and it stings less, just like bandaids.
last cedar
Wonderful, thanks!
deft pewter
Of course, they scream less if they're dead before you start the skinning process.
last cedar
Oh, is that why thry were making so much noise
Why do you leave the important details until last?
Now there are lots of flashing blue lights, what does that mean?
cedar chasm
Racoons have all the fun
last cedar
Found a container, seems ok. Full of trash. Happy
@deft pewter next time you give advice can you give all the important bits first. It would have been useful to know I should have killed them before skinning them

there should be an option to flag people on github for writing shitty issues
last cedar
Wouldn't it be better to flag people who write good issues instead :P less work!
