finding a vanity hamster is tough. Checked 4619667372 at rate 26930,2
2018-12-06 16:44:48
mjay
you had a 13% chance so far
2018-12-06 17:01:20
fydel
i will give it some days more. it only halves the hashrate on that server.
2018-12-06 17:01:36
fydel
and i really like hamsters. :hamster::hamster::hamster::hamster::hamster:
2018-12-06 18:13:02

I'm glad people enjoy that vanity generator
2018-12-06 18:19:51
fydel
yes. i do. 2ur0j0ymzgqmdm8ma8kzsscfttn2vaghp77fydel :smile:

I'll call you 2-euro-fydel now

smallest valid snowblossom address, to which I of course do not have the key
2018-12-06 18:45:09
Fireduck
it is zeros for the address hash and just a checksum of the zeros

Intentionally making that one hard to run, since no one should run it
2018-12-06 19:05:31
Fireduck
I have a bunch of linux systems that are moving packets. What is the easiest way to make traffic graphs?
2018-12-06 19:05:38
Fireduck
I used to run snmpd and mrtg
2018-12-06 19:05:44
Fireduck
but mrtg is terrible
2018-12-06 19:07:31

I know some of you guys are into munin and then launch into long conversations about the configs, which makes it seem like a poor fit for my desire of easy.
2018-12-06 19:09:56
fydel
vnstat is easy. take a look here: http://nur.hamster.science/
2018-12-06 19:11:26
Rotonen
for what you seek munin should just work out of the box
2018-12-06 19:28:00
Fireduck
@fydel using vnstati to make the images?
2018-12-06 19:29:57
fydel
yes.
2018-12-06 19:30:37
Fireduck
awesome, this pretty much perfect
2018-12-06 19:30:37
Fireduck
thanks
2018-12-06 20:50:08
Fireduck
@fydel I get a strange error on some hosts: Unable to open database "/var/lib/vnstat/eno3" for writing: Read-only file system
2018-12-06 20:50:18
Fireduck
that file system is certainly not read-only
2018-12-06 20:50:24
Fireduck
I can go make files there
2018-12-06 21:13:59
Rotonen
which user does that try to operate as?
2018-12-06 21:14:20
Fireduck
vnstat
2018-12-06 21:14:41
Fireduck
so 1.15 works, but 1.18 does not.
2018-12-06 21:15:03
Fireduck
1.18 the package maintainer has switched to a different setup, involving systemctl
2018-12-06 21:15:09
Fireduck
which seems to be misconfigured somehow
2018-12-06 21:18:34
Fireduck
in /etc/systemd/system/vnstatd.service, removing "ProtectSystem=strict" seems to fix it
2018-12-06 21:20:51
Fireduck
probably the StateDirectory was expected to be excluded from the protect system ro mode
2018-12-06 21:20:53
Fireduck
but it wasn't
2018-12-06 21:20:57
Fireduck
I don't care anymore
2018-12-06 21:21:03
Fireduck
over it
2018-12-06 21:40:32
Fireduck
now how to collect all these images without making some sort of rube goldberg machine
2018-12-06 21:53:15
Rotonen
freedesktop standards are pretty good and clever, but no one wrote much in the way of rationale
2018-12-06 21:53:38
Rotonen
or how to get from legacy hodgepodge onto them
2018-12-06 21:54:23
Rotonen
private temp is an another one if IPC used to happen over domain sockets in temp
2018-12-06 21:54:33
Rotonen
like most mail pickups do
2018-12-06 21:55:22
Fireduck
I've never messed with it
2018-12-06 21:55:35
Fireduck
I tend to just run packages from the distro (which usually work)
2018-12-06 21:55:48
Fireduck
or run things inside of screen, because that is just how I operate
2018-12-06 22:00:03
Rotonen
that’s about how i’d describe myself too, but i suppose i have a luxurious position where what you give up on is my bread and butter to figure out
2018-12-06 22:01:01
Fireduck
yeah, I have done a lot more systems work in the past but try to avoid mucking with it
2018-12-06 22:01:23
Fireduck
since it is easy to spend all your time getting things perfect and monitored
2018-12-06 22:27:31
Clueless
@Fireduck screen is insane.
2018-12-06 22:27:34
Clueless
tmux or systemd
2018-12-06 22:27:47
Clueless
systemd could be improved though.
2018-12-06 22:29:17
Fireduck
screen is the best
2018-12-06 22:29:23
mjay
screen is great, I agree
2018-12-06 22:29:31
mjay
I use it for so many things
2018-12-06 22:29:32
Fireduck
maybe 15 years ago a friend gave me a .screenrc, I've been using it since
2018-12-06 22:30:08
mjay
its kinda like vim. Messes things up badly if you first use it, then shows its potential
2018-12-06 22:30:17
mjay
and you can go really deep
2018-12-06 22:33:49
Fireduck
I use vim
2018-12-06 22:33:58
Fireduck
I am not good at it, I know maybe 5 commands
2018-12-06 22:34:04
Fireduck
but that doesn't stop me
2018-12-06 22:34:54
mjay
search, jump to line, delete line, copy&paste, indent
2018-12-06 22:35:04
Fireduck
yep
2018-12-06 22:35:06
mjay
:smile:
2018-12-06 22:35:31
mjay
load & save & exit probably
2018-12-06 22:35:52
Fireduck
I've seen people who are good at it do crazy split screen things
2018-12-06 22:36:04
Fireduck
run commands from it without exiting
2018-12-06 22:36:10
Fireduck
but those sort of needs I fill using screen
2018-12-06 22:36:17
mjay
how to generate a random file?
2018-12-06 22:36:26
mjay
Open vim and ask a graphics designer to close it :stuck_out_tongue:
2018-12-06 22:36:43
Fireduck
of course, ssh in again and then kill -9
2018-12-06 22:37:07
mjay
Ctrl+Z, then kill %1
2018-12-06 22:37:15
mjay
my favorite way
2018-12-06 22:41:08
Rotonen
i've not had screen crash on me on bad byte sequences in the past 10 years, tmux is not in that club
2018-12-06 22:41:48
Rotonen
also what does it do better to warrant switching? or what does it do different to go for it when starting from scratch?
2018-12-06 22:42:28
mjay
never tried tmux, so cant compare
2018-12-06 22:43:13
Rotonen
the first time i tried it at least did not handle anything returning an EAGAIN to it on full buffers or somesuch, which i hit within a minute of use, so i do have a colored point of view
