mrintegrity··on The Syslog Hell
Started using Grafana Loki recently, so far it seems very good at consuming all the various log formats you might encounter and you can parse them into metrics etc as needed using regular expressions. Much nicer than dumping everything on a central syslog. My only "gripe" is the high learning curve compared to say elk stack.
mrintegrity··on India’s second wave of Covid-19 feels nothing like its first
I was in India ~10 years ago, upon entering the airport i was shocked to see smoke everywhere and assumed there had been some kind of fire. Nope, i was seeing the air, i could see the normal air inside the airport terminal. Pollution is a huge problem in Delhi which surely contributes to bad covid outcomes.
mrintegrity··on How to properly manage SSH keys for server access
Well absolutely there has to be an alternative way in, be it serial console or a dedicated admin user who does not have keys in ldap. With sshd you would specify a local key instead of ldap for that specific user, for example
mrintegrity··on How to properly manage SSH keys for server access
Why not store the public key in a users ldap profile, then when they login ssh can pull that with the AuthorizedKeyCommand option to sshd config. As it's in AD / ldap you can allow them to manage their own public keys via a simple portal. When a user quits or is fired, their account is disabled and this will stop the key from being used.
mrintegrity··on Firefox usage is down despite Mozilla's top exec pay going up
I would love to see a fork of Mozilla Firefox that gets wide acceptance and adheres to some basic principles (privacy, following standards, etc). But right now, firefox the product is actually still very good, I much prefer it to the alternatives (although the recent android update has included some questionable UI changes)
mrintegrity··on A Free Software OS for the ReMarkable E-Paper Tablet
I have no problem with the developer / author charging any amount for the tarball and following the licenses of the software. It's absolutely his right and the comments complaining really miss the point, if you can't afford / don't like it, read the instructions, download the source and do it yourself, you have that right
mrintegrity··on German expressions that don’t exist in English
Wouldn't this translate quite well as stoicism?

"the endurance of pain or hardship without the display of feelings and without complaint."

mrintegrity··on Cluster SSH – Manage Multiple Linux Servers Simultaneously
It's not quite as feature complete as cluster ssh, however I am also using it and have bound it to "v" with this tmux config:

bind-key v setw synchronize-panes

mrintegrity··on Psytrance Guide
My favorite place to listen to psytrance was philosomatika.com, shut down by the RIAA in 2010, it's now back as http://www.philosomatika.fm/
mrintegrity··on 2.7M medical calls breached in Sweden
The site hosting this seems to be dead, probably from the load but hopefully from action taken by the company now that it's public knowledge. Does anyone have a list of the affected phone numbers? I would like to check if mine is in there
mrintegrity··on Chromecast Support for Firefox
Try the latest version of VLC, which now supports Chromecast. Works better for me
mrintegrity··on Chromecast Support for Firefox
The latest version of VLC (3.# iirc) now supports Chromecast, under video > renderer menu. Works much more smoothly than Videostream in my experience
mrintegrity··on Nearly $13B wiped off of cryptocurrency market as major coins plunge
Went to my go-to indicator of BTC value expecting shock and horror only to find a normal weekly fluctuation: http://preev.com/

Article author probably wants to buy some coins

mrintegrity··on Brute Force Incognito Browsing
Doesn't that assume that the only way they track your data is with cookies? Perhaps by agreeing you are also allowing them to track you based on browser fingerprint / IP address so private browsing wouldn't be fullproof for this use case?
mrintegrity··on The scientists who starved to death surrounded by food
"Obviously the people in the article were hungry and tired"

The people were in a state of starvation, your ability to walk distances in freezing conditions is linked to the amount of fat on your bones and the quality of clothing, pretty sure neither of those were very optimal at the time.

mrintegrity··on HappyOrNot terminals look simple, but the information they gather is revelatory
They seem to me to be an efficient disease spreader, especially in flu season, I always press with the back of my knuckle for that reason.
mrintegrity··on GDPR and Google Analytics
Will you be traveling to an EU country at any point in your life? Imagine fines are levied against you or your company and you refuse or ignore them and continue to operate as before. Could cause you trouble at the border
mrintegrity··on PDP-11 Booting
Interesting to see the origin of the UNIX "unmount" command being an actual physical operation.
mrintegrity··on Attacked By Thugs (2004)
wow really? Strange that there has been no reporting of this "riot" from last week. Islamic enclave? are you actually being serious? there are people from many backgrounds there, yes a large portion seem to be Muslim but calling it an Islamic enclave is preposterous and just gives away your real motivation
mrintegrity··on The email line that's client repellent
Works with online dating too.

"Would you like to go out some time?" bad

"I really like you, would you like to meet?" terrible

"Let's go out at the weekend, <barname> is really great" good

"I am free Tuesday and Friday, let's get a beer and continue this conversation in real life" good

mrintegrity··on Sweden authorities abducted a child because of homeschooling
Most definitely a biased article. I scanned some of the court documents and a few things really stood out, in particular:

"Domenic himself has made it clear that not want to meet his parents or even talk about them."

Not something you would expect of a child forcibly removed from loving parents.

From what I read, the parents sound like a couple of douche bags that are more interested in themselves than the child.

Dissenting opinion to the decision to keep him in foster care agreed that the care under his parents was insufficient but that foster care may be over the top.

mrintegrity··on Nginx Plus
So do most people use Nginx as a load balancer and webserver?

I am using Apache webservers behind a fronted running Pound proxy (www.apsis.ch/pound‎). Pound is mind-bogglingly easy to setup and use, anyone looking for an Nginx replacement should really start there.

mrintegrity··on Uncovering an advertising fraud scheme (NSFW) (2011)
So whats the major disincentive to people who read this and immediately think "Kaching!"? (me)

There must be a down side, apart from the seedy feeling someone might get from doing this.

mrintegrity··on Poll: What Internet slang are you most annoyed by?
This. i am so glad it is winning. chances that this poll help its speedy demise? none. at least i finally get to use it without feeling slughtly ill
mrintegrity··on SelfCloud - Your own cloud
As far as I can see it doesn't offer anything that isn't already covered by OwnCloud. Owncloud also offers integration with many other web apps featuring calendaring, ldap, email, etc.. The only license info I can find states "All rights reserved".. I don't have a windows pc to install it on but I assume it has a click through license agreement.. I would have to read that carefully for any "you grant us remote access to your self hosted files" or similar crazyness.

Owncloud is released under the AGPL v3.. my only real gripe with owncloud is the fairly shoddy android app!

mrintegrity··on Google has an iOS 6 Maps app awaiting approval
I stand corrected... Totally thought maps was a google app!

Regardless, apple are still massive hypocrites for all of the many other features they rip off from android etc while being shocked and outraged that someone might do that to them.

mrintegrity··on Google has an iOS 6 Maps app awaiting approval
Is it just me or has Apple "slavishly" copied the google maps app functionality, icons (that arrow looks like a copy paste) and rounded corners?

The hypocrisy here is just mind blowing.. And it clearly demonstrates the utter bullshitness that is there fight against Samsung

mrintegrity··on Pirate Bay Founder Arrest Followed By $59m Swedish Aid Package For Cambodia
Please back these claims up with some sort of references. Otherwise it's just utter bs
mrintegrity··on The future of GNOME
I use gnome3 and gnome-shell every day, I have used linux based distros for something like 13 years now and have used many different desktop paradigms.

After about a year or so of using KDE I switched to Gnome, and then to Blackbox and then Fluxbox and eventually ION.

For me, now that I am accustomed to the various shortcuts and key combinations, gnome3 is amazingly fast to use compared to gnome2 (and any "start menu" based desktop). I really don't know how I could go back! Whenever I have to use a relatives computer it's an incredibly frustrating and slow affair with my hand instinctively flying up to the top left only to find that nothing happens. First thing I do when sitting at my own desk is throwing the mouse pointer (or hitting the "windows" key) and typing "ter" and pressing enter.. terminal appears and work begins..

Gnome3 is open source and Free Software, those who don't like it will move to the gnome2 fork and I am sure will be very happy. You can't force everyone to use (and develop) the desktop that you want, that's the whole point!

"But no one is using it!": well, I think the gnome3 developers are probably using it daily.. and if noone else in the world was a user, maybe they would still be producing it for their own benefit.. would you still ridicule it in that case?

mrintegrity··on Fedora 17 Released
Unfortunately redhat based distros don't support keeping the install minimal past installing the first few things afterwards. There is no --no-instal-recommends --no-install-suggests for RPM based distros and no (easy) way to acheive that either.

It's for this reason that I have, over the past year, discovered that my favorite server OS is debian minimal (with those above flags entered into apt.conf) while my favorite desktop is without a doubt Fedora / gnome3.

This is exactly the opposite of the norm I think, but, fedora pushes the desktop boundaries far further than ubuntu and debian is so highly optimised for minimal server setups.
