Apr 29 13:54:13 2016 <wrtlprnft> P4, tronner: it's been wrtlprnft.net for ages, I lost .ath.cx
Apr 29 13:54:34 2016 <wrtlprnft> oh, it's my fault
Apr 29 13:54:39 2016 <theocrite> Unfair! Revolution!
Apr 29 13:54:50 2016 <P4> oh yea, i was dreaming you are back in charge with ed, Voo, loops and the other :))
Apr 29 13:54:56 2016 * theocrite lost lots of ath.cx years ago too.
Apr 29 13:55:21 2016 <wrtlprnft> tronner, shell curl -s https://wrtlprnft.net/serverlist/styles.css | grep src
Apr 29 13:55:28 2016 <wrtlprnft> aww
Apr 29 13:55:29 2016 <P4> wasn't ath.cx managed by dyndns? it was so geeky, prob even moar than wrtl…
Apr 29 13:55:36 2016 <P4> tronner, shell curl -s https://wrtlprnft.net/serverlist/styles.css | grep src
Apr 29 13:55:38 2016 <tronner> P4: src: url(http://wrtlprnft.net/Armagetronad.ttf) format("truetype");
Apr 29 13:55:39 2016 <theocrite> lel
Apr 29 13:55:43 2016 <P4> <3
Apr 29 13:55:45 2016 <wrtlprnft> yes, but they started sucking
Apr 29 13:56:05 2016 <P4> men use to start sucking when spawn kids…
Apr 29 13:56:25 2016 <theocrite> As far as I remember we had to re-activate domains every 2 months or so, and at some point we couldn't do that anymore without paying, right?
Apr 29 13:56:25 2016 <wrtlprnft> essentially, .ath.cx was only available to paying customers (and they were more expensive than a real domain), but existing registrations remained free
Apr 29 13:56:44 2016 <P4> how come you lost it?
Apr 29 13:56:47 2016 <wrtlprnft> the catch was that you had to log in every month and one time, i was too late
Apr 29 13:56:56 2016 <wrtlprnft> theocrite is pretty much correct
Apr 29 13:57:11 2016 <P4> oh yea, but e-mail notifications helped with the login part
Apr 29 13:57:18 2016 <theocrite> Yeah I think that's what happened to everybody.
Apr 29 13:57:29 2016 <P4> what a pity :/
Apr 29 13:57:32 2016 <wrtlprnft> jup, and one time the mail landed in my spam and I realized it too late
Apr 29 13:57:47 2016 <P4> :P
Apr 29 13:58:07 2016 <wrtlprnft> and it was not like, “oh, let's put the domain on hold but grant a couple of days of grace period for the owner to reclaim it”, it was just gone
Apr 29 13:58:25 2016 <wrtlprnft> it had been a redirection to .net for about a year because i wanted an ssl cert
Apr 29 13:59:01 2016 <theocrite> I was a cool domain for kids, but I don't regret the switch to more professionals registars
Apr 29 14:03:22 2016 <P4> so… can programs still contact you if they had any problems? refering to ,,(shell curl -s https://wrtlprnft.net/ | grep onn) :D
Apr 29 14:03:23 2016 <tronner> P4: <li><a href="http://crazy-tronners.com/">Crazy Tronners</a>—I'm admin on their servers, so if you have any problems contact me.</li>
Apr 29 14:03:40 2016 <P4> no need to reset your PW? :D
Apr 29 14:04:31 2016 <theocrite> P4: $CMD || mails -s "something went wrong" P4@crazy-tronners.com
Apr 29 14:04:57 2016 <P4> .call which mails
Apr 29 14:06:50 2016 <theocrite> mail
Apr 29 14:06:53 2016 <theocrite> not mails
Apr 29 14:08:10 2016 <theocrite> provided by sendmail, qmail, exim, postfix, etc.
Apr 29 14:08:15 2016 <P4> Program mail nie jest obecnie zainstalowany. Możesz go zainstalować wpisując: apt-get install mailutils
Apr 29 14:08:20 2016 <P4> :P
Apr 29 14:08:50 2016 <P4> .fight exim postfix
Apr 29 14:08:51 2016 <tronner> P4: exim: 776000, postfix: 648000
Apr 29 14:09:22 2016 <theocrite> postfix is waaaaaaaay more popular, but exim comes by default under Debian, lot of people stick with it.
Apr 29 14:09:39 2016 <P4> which one is more advanced?
Apr 29 14:10:53 2016 <P4> how are you guys restricting users from inspecting system resources in multi-user environment, e.g. so ps shows only processes you own? talking about debian flavours. and sorry about being off-topic :P
Apr 29 14:12:41 2016 <theocrite> Either a container like lxc. Each user gets his own "fake" server. Some fs might be shared.
Apr 29 14:13:02 2016 <theocrite> Or maybe a restricted shell (like sftp if you only want to drop files, not run shell commands).
Apr 29 14:13:31 2016 <theocrite> Or a real VM (more than just a container), like KVM, XEN etc.
Apr 29 14:13:43 2016 <theocrite> But that's more "overkill" maybe.
Apr 29 14:14:09 2016 <theocrite> With a real shell, someone with enough motivation will always find a way to get these informations.
Apr 29 14:14:19 2016 <P4> nah, i'm talking more about the core linux support for AAA, simple server with base system only but limiting users from looking into other users resources
Apr 29 14:15:03 2016 <theocrite> AAA ?
Apr 29 14:16:34 2016 <P4> Authentication, Authorization and Accounting
Apr 29 14:16:55 2016 <theocrite> Also you can't really limit users accessing resources. You just can set the FS rights the right way (chmod & all), but you can't really prevent anyone from doing a ps or seeing things in /proc (like /proc/mdstat, not that' it's secret).
Apr 29 14:17:15 2016 <P4> oh yes you can
Apr 29 14:17:23 2016 <P4> example @ #openshells
Apr 29 14:17:36 2016 <P4> and this is core functionality of multiuser system
Apr 29 14:17:50 2016 <P4> i just need hints on the keywords to look for :P
Apr 29 14:17:56 2016 <theocrite> Also for the other question, you probably should go with exim if you want just the basic installation, postfix if you intend to do a lot of things with it.
Apr 29 14:18:19 2016 <P4> so postfix seem to be more advanced, right?
Apr 29 14:18:55 2016 <theocrite> I don't know about openshells I'll look into that later. But that seems to confirm what I said "With a real sell, blabla".
Apr 29 14:19:00 2016 <theocrite> I would say so, yes.
Apr 29 14:19:03 2016 <P4> not talking about servig zillion accounts in the cluster but rather the ability to tweaking the service for custom needs
Apr 29 14:19:25 2016 <theocrite> Come to think about it, there is a tool to manage MAC. Something done by the NSA. I can't remember the name.
Apr 29 14:19:31 2016 <theocrite> It's in default in Red Hat now.
Apr 29 14:19:35 2016 <theocrite> Maybe in Debian too.
Apr 29 14:19:46 2016 * theocrite thinks
Apr 29 14:20:07 2016 <theocrite> P4: SELinux might be what you want.
Apr 29 14:20:12 2016 <P4> if you request for an #openshells then you have my vouch obviously :p
Apr 29 14:20:15 2016 <theocrite> But that's a lot of work to get started with it.
Apr 29 14:20:47 2016 <P4> i believe that SELinux is the next step after the basic AAA setup in linux that I am looking for
Apr 29 14:21:02 2016 <theocrite> I'm in a hurry I need to go soon, but I'll see what openshells is, and I'll possibly get back to you (Not promissing anything, I have so many things to remember :) )
Apr 29 14:22:41 2016 <P4> yea, no worries, enjoy! :)

Apr 29 17:53:33 2016 <wrtlprnft> P4: sorry, I was AFK. That information is probably outdated (but I haven't checked ;-)

• Website was created by nelg
• Design:
» Layout is loosely based on an old design by Durf.
» Icons on the tools page were originally by Royce, new icons added will try to follow some of the design language.
» Various other icon selections include icons from Crystal, crystalsvg, oxygen, and breeze icon themes.
» Other icons: fontawesome

is a site that has tools, maps, and other various items. It orignally only existed as a server control panel, but I slowly began adding stuff such as a homepage and tools.

This is an LLM-free zone. In general, I am unwilling to use (fight with) any form of "GenAI" to write code for me. So, for the forseeable future, everything on this site will continue to be written by a very silly goose (wait that's me honk honk) with some parts written by other humans as well (silly hu-mon) rather than any plausible-series-of-words token-eating machine. Even my libraries are out of date, and suddenly that's a good thing!
(Although the style has changed several times and content has been added and changed, the base of this site has barely been updated since 2015. But it Ain't Broke!)
This site is also occasionally tested with older browsers, but compatibility is not guarenteed. Although, if you have an old obscure browser and something isn't working that previously did, I guess you can tell me (nelg) about it...
