11:33.58antiphasexteddy: Whore yourself out
11:33.58xteddy:) :)
11:34.42wethrinxteddy can FOAD
11:34.42xteddy:)
11:35.17wethrinAnything that pretends to be that happy is clearly tanked up to the hilt with drugs
11:47.21cpufreakwhat the fuck is starshine, and xteddy?
11:47.25cpufreakidiots
11:54.32wethrinstarshine is the author of xteddy
11:55.31antiphaseAlthough "author" is a bit of a strong word for something with essentially no functionality
11:56.14wethrinIt provides irritation
12:01.15bilarhget yourselves something more important to worry about :-)
12:01.25bilarhxteddy: hug antiphase
12:01.26xteddy:>
12:01.30bilarh:D
12:02.12bilarhalthough i must admit it's extra smiles get on my nerves
12:02.53wethrinindeed
12:30.35*** join/#gllug dick_turpin (n=dick_tur@host217-34-163-30.in-addr.btopenworld.com)
12:31.05wethrinNone of this American spelling in here, young man!
12:31.08bilarhjewellry?
12:31.12wethrinjewellery
12:31.23bilarhah, i thought it looked wrong
12:33.54dick_turpinhali: You was right, one of the 1GB mem sticks was fucked
12:35.04dick_turpinwith a shetland pony I might add
12:35.51dick_turpinbilarh: Ah shut your face you person you
12:36.00bilarhdick_turpin: what is it with you!? every time you enter the channel, it degenerates into some sex fest :(
12:36.03bilarhyou disgust me, you do!
12:36.24dick_turpinI ain't getting any :-P
12:36.58bilarhi can hook you up with this pony i know, if you want?
12:37.00antiphaseQuit your jibber jabber
12:37.34dick_turpinantiphase: Wasn't he in star wars?
12:40.06bilarhmind, it consisted of a chewing gum and a couple of pennies i found behind the sofa, so it was to be expected, i suppose
12:41.29dick_turpinI've took a Draytek Vigour 2800 VG wifi router home last night :-)
12:41.37bilarhooh a draytek
12:41.42bilarhare they any good?
12:41.47bilarhi always wanted to buy one of them
12:41.58bilarhbecause it actually does *real* routing and firewalling, afaik
12:42.02bilarhnot some shitty nat crap only
12:42.02dick_turpinYeah replaced my 2600 with it
12:42.26antiphaseWhat's unreal routing?
12:42.33dick_turpinYep all firewalling is done at the router
12:42.43bilarhi suppose 'real' routing is the wrong word
12:42.51bilarhi just don't like the standard 'nat' firewalling crap
12:43.03bilarhand most cheap modem/router jobs only do nat, it seems
12:43.04antiphaseI bet the "real" firewall is just the outside of a NAT as well
12:43.52dick_turpinDunno, cant be arsed to learn seems to work which is good enough for me
12:43.55bilarhe.g. i want to route a /28 that i have to my home network, but it doesn't work becuase my modem/router/wifi-jobbie only does nat routing
12:44.17bilarhi can get it to route my /28, but then the firewall is disabled and it just acts as a router
12:44.37bilarhor i can get it to become a nat gateway, with port forwarding, which isn't what i want either
12:44.54antiphaseIf you want a firewall, make yourself a proper one, or buy one
12:45.06antiphaseOr use a real router that has proper access lists
12:45.11bilarhthat's what i'm saying :-) i want a real router
12:45.21antiphaseGet a Cisco 837 or something
12:45.24bilarhand afaik the draytek range has a few of them for not a lot of money
12:45.48dick_turpinbilarh: yep has what antiphase is talking about
12:46.09bilarhdick_turpin: rrp?
12:46.23dick_turpinbilarh: :-) work ;-)
12:47.19dick_turpinbilarh: we can buy em @ 135.00
12:47.30bilarhneat
12:59.36Ch0HagCan you have per-user additions to /etc/hosts?
12:59.40Ch0HagAnd if not, why not?
12:59.57bilarhno, afaik
13:00.07bilarhalthough it would be quite neat, in some ways
13:00.28Ch0HagAye.
13:00.43Ch0HagOne less reason to use sudo.
13:00.56bilarhey?
13:01.03Ch0Hagsudo vi /etc/hosts
13:03.30bilarhnot quite what you want, but a tidy hack nevertheless :D
13:03.32bilarhhttp://blog.deadgod.net/2007/01/24/How_to_override_DNS_on_a_per-user_basis
13:03.52antiphaseWhy would you ever want to do that?
13:04.12bilarhif you have different staging environments, maybe
13:04.16bilarhfor different developers
13:04.20bilarhbut one main server they work from
13:04.35bilarhit's a convoluted example, granted
13:05.01antiphaseYou could always use something other than DNS...
13:05.08Ch0HagBecause I don't having to remember a list of IP addresses.
13:05.16Ch0HagComputers exist to do my remembering for me.
13:05.25bilarhch0hag: yeah but relaly, what's wrong with /etc/hosts then?
13:05.31bilarhapart from the sudo part of updating?
13:05.32Ch0Hagroot owns it.
13:05.49bilarhso?
13:06.04Ch0HagI don't like using root unless it's essential.
13:06.13antiphaseThis is why groups were invented
13:06.39Ch0HagWhy edit a system-wide file to make a change that only makes sense to my user?
13:06.59antiphaseHow many users are using your machine at any one time?
13:07.06antiphaseI suspect the answer is 1
13:07.13antiphasein which case, it's a silly argument :P
13:07.16Ch0HagSometimes 2.
13:07.29Ch0Hag(ie. when someone else is on it and I connect remotely)
13:07.36Ch0HagHowever that is entirely irrelevant.
13:07.38bilarhch0hag: hack gethostbyname to use /etc/hosts.uid :)
14:23.39halior use iptables to redirect to diffrent tinydns servers that return whatever you want
14:23.45halibased on uid
14:23.48halihassle to maintain though
14:23.53halibut no code change
14:33.26Ch0HagHacking libnss_file.so sounds much more plausible.
14:33.44Ch0HagOr maybe creating libnss_userfile.so
14:34.07antiphaseOr maybe just using NIS
14:34.33Ch0HagOr that.
15:14.09dick_turpinhali
15:14.43haliyo
15:15.12bilarhnis? how would that help on a user basis?
15:15.43dick_turpinhali: You was right one of the 1GB memory modules was shagged
15:19.21haliah, i knew it!
15:20.24dick_turpinhali: Cor lots of 'Red' errors! millions of em
15:30.41halijust send it back
15:30.48halito yourself and grab another one
15:51.29dick_turpinhali: You know me so well, should be here tomorrow :-)
16:17.52bilarhi can't believe i used to have a tv tuner card and threw it out
