Time Nick Message 04:36 pdurbin_m dotfiles https://github.com/hinrik/dotfiles/blob/master/link-files 04:39 pdurbin_m http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-LinkDir/ 10:45 pdurbin so, to manage symlinks of my dotfiles to a git repo, i looked at https://github.com/technicalpickles/homesick and https://github.com/jim/briefcase but i'm pretty sure i like https://github.com/mrmuskrat/File-LinkDir/blob/master/bin/link-files even better. i had to make a tiny patch is all: http://git.greptilian.com/?p=dotfiles.git;a=commitdiff;h=da809d44440b501af8339019cfcba9a1c166e989 13:37 pdurbin explaining newgrp to users 13:53 pdurbin changed title of this ticket to "Using newgrp, chmod, and umask to set up directories fit for collaboration" and linked to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setgid#setuid_and_setgid_on_directories 13:54 pdurbin i don't know how many times i've written this email. probably time to add it to http://wiki.greptilian.com 14:15 pdurbin SEJeff (and anyone else who might be interested): discussing a weird problem i'm having with salt: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/salt/2012-05-07#i_5553599 14:16 pdurbin ironcamel: and yes, of course i'm using nopaste :) 14:16 pdurbin ironcamel: does your nopaste service give you permalinks for each line? 14:17 pdurbin hmm, apparently not, judging from http://danceb.in/2v3IzWyW4RGVoDPIl9DNYg 14:17 pdurbin i guess a github gist would give me permalinks per line. i haven't gotten around to playing with github gists yet 14:22 SEJeff pdurbin, Salt uses yum 14:22 SEJeff assuming you installed via yum 14:23 pdurbin SEJeff: right. yes. but can you explain the strange behavior? (we should probably take this to #salt) 14:23 SEJeff ok 15:13 * pdurbin reads "never underestimate the power of a genome pig" at http://blog.jcuff.net/2012/05/never-underestimate-power-of-genome-pig.html which is all about "a parallel implementation of gzip for modern 15:13 pdurbin multi-processor, multi-core machines" http://zlib.net/pigz/ 15:14 pdurbin "it took only 4 mins to compress nearly 34GB into 10GB which would have taken over an hour and a half with a single thread" 16:39 SEJeff pdurbin, Also see snappy (google's algo for this) and pbzip2 17:21 pdurbin snappy - A fast compressor/decompressor - http://code.google.com/p/snappy/ 17:21 pdurbin Parallel BZIP2 (PBZIP2) - http://compression.ca/pbzip2/ 17:21 pdurbin SEJeff: thanks! 17:27 SEJeff pdurbin, One final one to look at is xz: http://tukaani.org/xz/ lzma tends to be slower, but the absolute best compression of anything out there 17:28 SEJeff """ With typical files, XZ Utils create 30 % smaller output than gzip and 15 % smaller output than bzip2.""" 17:29 ironcamel just found out from magoo that you can embed perl straight into your nginx configs :) http://wiki.nginx.org/Configuration#Embedded_Perl_examples 17:30 ironcamel not sure if you guys use nginx. i have been defaulting to it for everything recently. 17:31 SEJeff thats cool! 17:32 pdurbin ironcamel: i'm still using apache for everything. lazy, i guess 17:32 SEJeff For low memory vps's or for static media only, nginx is much better. If you don't care, apache is great 17:36 pdurbin "just because i don't care doesn't mean i don't understand!" :) 17:37 pdurbin i love that this guy uses that quote: http://twitter.com/jonahbishop 17:40 pdurbin fixed "err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not retrieve local facts: Cannot allocate memory" by upgrading facter from 1.5.9 to 1.6.8. thanks, sjoeboo 17:51 SEJeff pdurbin, How did you fix that? 17:54 pdurbin hmmm? `apt-get update facter` or whatever 17:54 pdurbin of course, now i'm getting "nscd : Depends: libc6 (> 2.11) but it is not going to be installed" 17:54 pdurbin it's like ubuntu is taunting me 17:56 pdurbin "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." 17:59 pdurbin oh look, apt-get has a --fix-broken option 18:05 mattdm be careful with --fix-broken. It'll tear apart your whole system if it thinks it has to do that to get to a consistent state. 18:59 pdurbin "This APT has Super Cow Powers" 19:00 pdurbin http://superuser.com/questions/43715/what-are-super-cow-powers-and-why-doesnt-my-aptitude-have-them 19:01 pdurbin at least mine has them 19:42 pdurbin hmm: gnutls-cli --print-cert -p 636 ldap.server.com . from [ubuntu] ldap client doesn't know CA?! - Ubuntu Forums - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1031467 20:20 pdurbin /etc/alternatives/editor: symbolic link to `/bin/nano' bleh! #pdurbinlearnsubuntu 20:26 pdurbin great title: HandsomePlanet ยป un-ubuntuing visudo: how to make visudo use vi instead of nano - http://www.handsomeplanet.com/archives/60 20:27 pdurbin ubuntu should make a nanosudo 20:27 shuff you switched to /bin/ed, i presume? 20:28 pdurbin shuff: what does the vi in visudo mean? 20:28 shuff i had always thought that vipw/vigr/visudo etc were references to vi 20:29 pdurbin exactly 20:29 shuff but ed is the standard text editor! 20:32 pdurbin does visudo use vi on debian? 20:33 shuff hm 20:33 shuff the older debianesque box to which i have access has /etc/alternatives/editor pointing to /bin/nano 20:34 shuff so i'm guessing no 20:35 pdurbin yikes 20:37 shuff all around us, civilizations sink into degeneracy and decadence 20:37 shuff \/bin/nano indeed 21:03 SEJeff pdurbin, update-alternatives --config editor 21:03 SEJeff Oh and you might want to install the vim-full package 21:15 magoo this reminded me of our conversation from the other day 21:15 magoo https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Rosetta 21:18 ironcamel the arch wiki is so badass :) 21:19 SEJeff Isn't Arch like what Gentoo was before Daniel Robinns left and all heck broke loose? 21:23 ironcamel not sure, but i started using arch a week ago and i love it 21:24 SEJeff Thats what I've heard universally about it. Really need to check it out 21:24 SEJeff Does it have awesome or openbox> 21:24 SEJeff ? 21:36 ironcamel SEJeff: neither. i installed openbox though. 21:37 ironcamel i don't think it comes with any WM or DE, but i could be wrong 21:37 ironcamel SEJeff: and my friend told me about archbang, which is arch + openbox 21:38 ironcamel gotta go coach soccer now, later 21:38 SEJeff later
