03:13.26 | DocScrutinizer05 | ksx4system: I'm two days late |
03:16.36 | DocScrutinizer05 | hmm, I wonder if opensuse-firewall2 would work on any system with iptables/netfilter |
03:17.50 | DocScrutinizer05 | >>SuSEfirewall2 is basically a script that generates iptables rules from configuration stored in the /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 file.<< |

03:19.50 | DocScrutinizer05 | mot that i'd think it's particularly good or anything, it's simply just the only one I know |
03:19.56 | Inocuous | Thanks for the reply. I missed it. |
03:19.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | not* |
03:20.28 | Inocuous | I get mixed feedback some people say I don't need anything. I don't know. |
03:21.49 | DocScrutinizer05 | well |
03:22.50 | DocScrutinizer05 | a) there are definitely better firewalls out there, than this entry level suse-fw2. b) I get same mixed feedback and I have no notion |
03:24.28 | DocScrutinizer05 | I think the more nasty software like systemd or PolypAudio or dbus you're running on your system, the more you'll need a sane firewall catching up the BS those softwares may do without you even noticing |
03:29.43 | Inocuous | so is this already installed an working in a new installation? |
03:32.52 | debdog | no, the opensuse-firewall is not available as a devuan package |
03:34.02 | debdog | there is, however, firewalld. not that I've ever used it, thoug |
03:34.36 | debdog | http://www.firewalld.org/ |
03:34.53 | debdog | but non of them is installed/enabled by default |
03:36.04 | Inocuous | thanks debdog |
03:37.01 | Inocuous | I'm so used to windows. |
03:38.51 | debdog | just stubled on puppet for which a firewall module is available. |
03:39.35 | debdog | http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet |
03:41.46 | debdog | hmm, prolly not suited here |

04:03.32 | Inocuous | I found one website that scans your ports for you to see if they are open or not, this site only does 8 ports but they were all good. |

04:05.02 | ksx4system | that's what I use to check ports :) |
04:07.17 | ksx4system | and if you'll use ufw remember to "ufw limit ssh" and *not* "ufw allow ssh" |

05:13.16 | golinux | firewalld coming from Redhat/Fedora? The 'd' should give you a clue why it's probably not a good idea to go there. ;) |
05:21.21 | nextime | golinux: as long as it doesn't depend on systemd and it's in line with the unix philosophy of do one thing and do it well, firewalld is welcome in devuan |
05:21.33 | nextime | ( i don't really know it, never used it ) |
05:25.15 | golinux | It relies on D-bus |
05:25.32 | golinux | Isn't that something we'd like to get rid of? |
05:27.16 | nextime | golinux: as long as it can be removed or you can choose to run without it, it's ok to have it in the repo |
05:27.30 | nextime | maybe we will remove it in default install ( at least for non-desktop installs ) |
05:27.41 | nextime | but this doesn't mean that it needs to be unavailable |
05:27.44 | golinux | I did some searches and it seems to be all tied up with services |
05:27.48 | golinux | To start the service and enable FirewallD on boot: |
05:27.48 | golinux | 1 |
05:27.48 | golinux | 2 |
05:27.48 | golinux | |
05:27.48 | golinux | sudo systemctl start firewalld |
05:27.49 | golinux | sudo systemctl enable firewalld |
05:28.13 | nextime | really this isn't meaning that it depend on systemd |
05:28.26 | nextime | anyway, as i say, i DON'T know it |
05:28.26 | golinux | firewalld.service - firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon |
05:28.27 | golinux | <PROTECTED> |
05:28.44 | nextime | but as long as it can be used without systemd and launched by sysvinit or manually |
05:28.48 | nextime | it's ok to have it in the repo |
05:28.53 | DocScrutinizer05 | WOOOT firewall with dbus, BINGO |
05:29.57 | golinux | I don;t know it either but coming from the Redhat camp guilty until proven innocent. |
05:30.00 | DocScrutinizer05 | I don't care if it's available in devuan, but I'm pretty sure I don't want a firewall that uses dbus |
05:30.40 | nextime | i just got 5kg of pure mercury, wow! |
05:30.46 | nextime | it's OT |
05:31.04 | golinux | Maybe there's a way around systemd but is it worth it? |
05:31.23 | golinux | I'll bite . . . what's that for? |
05:31.56 | nextime | golinux: are you talking about firewalld or the mercury? |
05:32.02 | golinux | mercury |
05:32.18 | nextime | golinux: i don't yet know, but i will find something to do with it |
05:32.19 | nextime | :D |
05:32.26 | DocScrutinizer05 | yay |
05:32.47 | golinux | Good grief! Isn't that dangerous with kids around? |
05:32.50 | nextime | someone is suggesting me to build an internet connected steampunk barometer with it :P |
05:33.35 | golinux | Anyway . . . bedtime here |
05:33.37 | nextime | golinux: in my laboratory there are plenty of very dangerous things, and my kids are well educated to enter in my laboratory only when i'm in and don't touch anything without my prior permission |

08:25.47 | enyc | herrrms.... devian using same codename 'jessie' as debian this is confusing my chroot naming |
08:26.22 | enyc | if 'testing' is to use a different name "ascii" , should stable do similarly ?? |
08:31.52 | DusXMT | enyc: Jessie is named Jessie, but not as the toy in Toy Story (the debian case), but as in the dwarf planet. (ascii is also a name of a dwarf planet iirc) I guess the first stable release was decided to have the same name to signify it as a diverging point, as something the same but not quite, and it'll just diverge more and more.

12:12.00 | DusXMT | "Free Software" is the predcessor of Open Source, by the way; but unlike Open Source, it focuses more on the phylosophical part of the issue (Open Source advocates generally have no problem with using proprietary software, including the founder himself) |

15:30.26 | fsmithred | I assume the notification themes and the desktop themes are structured differently, since themes are accessible to one or the other, but not both. |
15:31.18 | fsmithred | Oh! It's just a gtkrc. |
15:31.37 | fsmithred | Inocuous, yes, it's hackable. Easily. |
15:32.50 | Inocuous | Is it text file? |
15:32.55 | fsmithred | yes |
15:33.55 | Inocuous | Nice. that's what I like! |
15:36.53 | fsmithred | gogle for XfceNotifyWindow to find information. |
15:36.54 | Inocuous | I was able to add a menu item yesterday. Of course then I found that the app had already put one in under a new menu group. |
15:37.16 | Inocuous | great! thank you very much fsmithred |
15:37.17 | fsmithred | lol |
15:37.37 | fsmithred | yeah, customizing the menu in xfce is kind of a pain. |
15:37.59 | golinux | Inocuous: Just reading the scrollback . . . it is very risky to install packages from ubuntu or other repos than devuan. |
15:38.18 | golinux | You could easily end up with a frankendevuan. |
15:38.26 | fsmithred | golinux, I start with the assumption that it's bad to mix repos. |
15:38.55 | Inocuous | good point. So far though,that's been my only deviation. |
15:38.58 | fsmithred | Years ago, I killed a zenwalk system that way. Fixed it by switching to debian. |
15:39.34 | fsmithred | Yes, you can get away with it with no problems in some cases. |
15:39.40 | golinux | You may not see the consequences for a while. |
15:39.42 | fsmithred | Maybe even many cases. I don't know. |

16:01.35 | golinux | crhylove: Just read your review. |
16:01.41 | golinux | Welcome aboard!! |
16:02.14 | golinux | But seems you haven't heard about this http://www.pcworld.com/article/3036509/linux/iceweasel-will-be-renamed-firefox-as-relations-between-debian-and-mozilla-thaw.html |
16:04.30 | golinux | So iceweasel will be going away. That makes me sad . . . |
16:04.58 | MinceR | firefox is going to hell anyway |
16:05.37 | DusXMT | Yeah, I liked iceweasel as one was allowed to mess with it however one wanted; it's going to be more difficult with Firefox (especially when it comes to porting it to different platforms) |
16:06.11 | golinux | Yeah it's going down the tubes |
16:06.48 | DusXMT | Though personally, I find that Firefox' performance to have degraded significantly since around version 24, and so I've switched to Seamonkey, which supposedly uses the same web engine, but runs much smoother in my experience |
16:07.00 | golinux | But that link was in response to this review posted while I was sleeping: https://crhylove.wordpress.com/2016/05/07/imma-ready-do-this-a-modest-devuan-beta-1-review/ |
16:07.58 | Inocuous | Personally I found Chromium under Ubuntu to be very good. I don't know, is it available for Devuan? |
16:08.20 | fsmithred | I believe chromium is no longer maintained. |
16:08.43 | golinux | I have an update waiting on Devuan |
16:08.43 | DusXMT | not to mention that it only worked on x86-based computers the last time I checked |
16:08.44 | Inocuous | that's too bad, but anyway, iceweasel has been doing well for me |
16:08.52 | muep_ | my impression is that the software is, but no idea about packaging |

16:09.41 | golinux | KDE . . . ugh |
16:09.44 | fsmithred | but maybe what I say is not true - there's a much newer version in jessie than in wheezy |
16:09.46 | DocScrutinizer05 | indeed |
16:10.09 | DusXMT | pets epiphany |
16:10.23 | Inocuous | is konueror still actively updated by a dev or dev team? |
16:10.34 | Inocuous | woops. typo. :( |

16:10.44 | fsmithred | can't spell |
16:10.45 | DocScrutinizer05 | hellekin: you around? please fix https://files.devuan.org/MIRRORS.txt |
16:11.22 | golinux | No other browser was a customizable as FF back in the day |
16:11.24 | DocScrutinizer05 | hellekin: honestly * */6 * * * is a _very_ poor idea ;-) |
16:11.31 | fsmithred | Inocuous, I'm pretty sure konqueror is still in kde |
16:11.54 | golinux | with all the bloat included |
16:12.02 | DocScrutinizer05 | at very least make that 33 */6 * * * |
16:12.25 | DusXMT | golinux: I've heard that they cut down a lot of the bloat in KDE5, but I've never used it myself, so... |
16:13.00 | DusXMT | (but yeah, I've used KDE4 at one time, and it was making a fast machine feel outdated x3) |
16:13.23 | DocScrutinizer05 | Inocuous: (konqueror updated) not so much |
16:13.24 | muep_ | imo, the refactoring for KDE5 seems more relevant for those who wish to use just some KDE-ish application outside KDE |
16:13.42 | golinux | DusXMT: I installed KDE once. Never again |
16:13.54 | DusXMT | has to agree |
16:14.15 | golinux | Even the apps pull in way too much cruft |
16:14.31 | DocScrutinizer05 | installed gnome once and never again ;-) |
16:15.02 | DusXMT | hasn't even tried Gnome3 yet, don't have any systemd-based system to test it on =3 |
16:16.00 | rain1 | hello |
16:16.20 | DocScrutinizer05 | re KDE I have to add that I tweaked it heavily since KDE1, so it does not exactly look, feel, behave like the default KDE4 install |
16:17.25 | DocScrutinizer05 | hates bloatware like akonadi though |
16:18.21 | DocScrutinizer05 | it's same evil design principles like systemd, just for desktop |
16:19.33 | DusXMT | I guess konqueror doesn't really need all that many updates if it uses libwebkit as a shared library, since most security features and new web features would probably get added there |
16:19.51 | DusXMT | s/security features/security updates/ |
16:20.45 | DusXMT | (same with epiphany and friends) |
16:20.47 | muep_ | https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2016/02/01/on-webkit-security-updates/ |
16:21.20 | rain1 | what do you think of zeitgeist |
16:21.44 | muep_ | webkit based stuff seems like something where some extra care would be useful |
16:22.36 | DocScrutinizer05 | (akonadi) KDE starts it during session start when file indexing for desktop search is enabled (something I never do so I failed to notice for long time), and then it happily starts polling all your mail accounts, even when you don't have anything started you'd think was a mail client. Go figure! And the KDE folks don't even consider this a major flaw, of course the won't pay my salary when I get fired for reaching out of corporate LAN |
16:22.37 | DocScrutinizer05 | without even noticing |
16:24.30 | DocScrutinizer05 | honestly akonadi my ass, WTF?! |
16:25.00 | DusXMT | muep_: I guess that's why I hand-compile my browser :) A browser's something that interfaces the web, a place full of all kinds of nasty javascript and other stuffs, it's important to be up-to-date |
16:25.52 | nextime | DusXMT: and you also read and debug all the browser code every time you compile it? |
16:26.10 | rain1 | :\ |
16:26.14 | nextime | there is no point in compile it every time |
16:26.16 | muep_ | DusXMT: is it a webkit based browser? are you also rebuilding the webkit libs? |
16:26.36 | nextime | a browser it a huge mess of many things, many with dangers |
16:26.55 | nextime | the right way is to isolate multiple browsers for different things |
16:27.11 | DocScrutinizer05 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akonadi >>Akonadi communicates with servers to fetch and send data instead of applications through a specialized API.<< YAYAYA |
16:27.30 | nextime | something like the concepts in qubeos |
16:27.35 | nextime | separation and isolation |
16:27.41 | DusXMT | nods |
16:28.38 | nextime | so, don't use the same browser in the same environment for pornhub and your bank website |
16:28.46 | muep_ | I think the akonadi concept was pretty neat. for example it'd allow the calendar thing in desktop panel to know what events I have in calendar. but the implementation did not ever seem to get good |
16:28.47 | nextime | and so on |
16:28.51 | *** part/#devuan rain1 (~rain1@unaffiliated/rain1) |

17:59.11 | DocScrutinizer05 | I just can see how the http:// reprresentation might be incorrect regarding what apt actually does |
17:59.47 | nextime | amprolla is a software that every interval check a list of overlay repos, the first one is the one where devuan packages are, and then debian repos |

18:00.28 | nextime | and then it setup a serie of HTTP 302 redirect for the pool/ directory |
18:00.48 | nextime | so, when you do an apt-get update you download the dists/ files from the amprolla generated repo |
18:01.12 | nextime | but when you apt-get install something, you request an uri on the amprolla managed web servers |

18:02.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | great explanation, should go to the wiki :-) |
18:03.12 | nextime | enyc: is the approach that save us a lot of bandwidth, make repos faster as we use the debian infrastructure for all packages we don't touch |
18:03.21 | nextime | and in the same time save a lot of disk space for us |
18:03.22 | nextime | :D |
18:03.24 | enyc | nextime: nods makes sense |
18:04.04 | nextime | also, amprolla let us manage dependencies in a sort of "pinning server side" thanks ro override files |
18:04.08 | nextime | :) |
18:04.22 | nextime | s/ro/to |
18:04.29 | enyc | nextime: be good to support https on it too (and when connected over https, redirect to https version of debian repo etc) , can be helpful for reasons for some firewall scenarios or networks with annoying port80 redirects |
18:04.35 | DocScrutinizer05 | you already got a patent on that? :-D |
18:04.43 | nextime | enyc: : it's in the todo |
18:04.52 | nextime | sadly many debian repos doesn't support https |
18:04.54 | enyc | nextime: this does mean the server-admin can't "select" the mirror being redirected-to though ? |
18:05.01 | nextime | but i'm working on proxy them |
18:05.15 | enyc | nextime: specific debian repos ddo e.g. ftp.uk.debian.org etc. |
18:05.30 | enyc | or rather, debian.hands.com |
18:05.33 | nextime | enyc: not yet, but in a couple of days i will deploy a version where there will be a match netween the devuan mirror selected and the debian one |
18:05.36 | nextime | so, you can |
18:05.57 | nextime | like |
18:06.07 | nextime | if you choose uk.mirror.devuan.org |
18:06.09 | enyc | nextime: thankyou for acknoweldgeing (and agreeing!!!!!) |
18:06.15 | nextime | you will use ftp.uk.debian.org for debian packages |
18:06.25 | *** join/#devuan crdil (~crdil@unaffiliated/cardiel) |
18:06.58 | nextime | actually, the debian mirror is selected by httpredir.debian.org |
18:07.19 | nextime | and that will remain the same using auto.mirror.devuan.org |
18:07.32 | enyc | nextime: but you may need to redirect to diffeent hostnames to match https certs oh well |
18:07.48 | enyc | nextime: you're right this is a wider poblem (if you consider it a problem, which is another whole debate ) |
18:08.04 | enyc | nextime: i've been using e.g. university mirror which has https anyway |
18:08.17 | nextime | enyc: well, i consider it something coming to be solved, i have just to find the time to work on it :) |
18:08.34 | enyc | nextime: thankyou =) |
18:09.03 | enyc | nextime: seemingly i've set some of my vms on safe-enough, contolled nat, ipv6, etc. to use ftp:// instead =) |
18:09.14 | enyc | i seem to be there to weed-out corner-cases =) |
18:09.26 | enyc | e.g. pointing out the ipv6 https problem previously |
18:09.26 | nextime | of source yes |
18:09.38 | nextime | for ftp:// i'm thinking about using ftpfs server side |
18:09.47 | nextime | to "mirror" debian repos on our ftp |
18:09.47 | nextime | :D |
18:10.23 | nextime | enyc: : and i appreciate you point me in this misconfiguration ( v6 https ) :) |
18:10.41 | nextime | ok, time to be a daddy for my kids, seeya huys |

20:51.29 | enyc | meep |
20:52.53 | enyc | randomly, wonders what it would take to build devuan or debian for i386 , all set to build for 486/5x86 compatible, unlike newer debian's ... |
