Shados: what does the referral code do?
<Shados>
Weird. It's not a library... unless their wordexp() implementation shells out to it, maybe?
<Shados>
gchristensen: 10% off for the first year, FWIR, and gives me some pennies worth of account credit
<gchristensen>
neat
<Shados>
Ahahaha, OS X libc *does* shell out for wordexp()
<gchristensen>
lol
<Shados>
Hmm, and even with WRDE_NOCMD... it just does some checks on the given string before passing it off to the shell... there's probably a vulnerability in there. glibc doesn't shell out with WRDE_NOCMD for that reason, it does the expansions internally.

Well, I'm talking concrete steps, not metaphorical ones :p
<pie__>
oh deer
<Shados>
e.g. metadata retention/legal intercept, domain blacklists "voluntarily" enforced by every ISP
<gchristensen>
at the DNS level?
<gchristensen>
like if you run kresd are you through?

its only a matter of time before youre arrested for bypassing blocks ;P

this Chernobyl mini-series is horrible

gchristensen: To my knowledge, they all currently implement it simply by filtering their own DNS servers' responses, so yeah
<gchristensen>
feels like a moral imperative to run kresd then :)
<pie__>
so whats kresd
<pie__>
whats the gimmick
<gchristensen>
no gimmick, it is an authoritative resolving DNS server.
<pie__>
ah ok
<pie__>
never heard of it
<Shados>
gchristensen: my setup already goes like dns -> wireguard tunnel to non-Aus endpoint -> caching stub resolver (dnsmasq atm, I think) -> dnscrypt-proxy2
<gchristensen>
right on
<Shados>
I could just use dnscrypt-proxy2 directly I guess, but I already have a tunnel for browsing purposes as a "fuck you" to metadata retention, so eh

I'm a customer, partly because they're so generous with NixOS Foundation, but also because of how good it is.

I wouldn't use them for a VPN, though. Being US-based is a bit too compromising for something as privacy-sensitive/paranoia-dependent as that.
<gchristensen>
obviously, I would :)

So with the 3-2-1 backup rule, I know that "RAID isn't a backup", but if you use something like znapsend to take snapshots, it kind of is a local backup, isn't it? RAID isn't a backup because it doesn't protect from user errors like deleting files, but snapshots do protect from such things. Like the only meaningful difference seems to be that deleting a dataset is unrecoverable locally, and you'll have to resort to the off-site one.
<elvishjerricco>
But that seems fine? The advantage of treating a mirror as a backup in this case is that you get completely transparent recovery.
jasongrossman has joined #nixos-chat
<SamuelMarks>
adisbladis: woh
<tilpner>
elvishjerricco: Another point to consider is how many bugs it takes to destroy your data. If you run the same zfs version for all the pools that have your data, it's probably just one
<tilpner>
elvishjerricco: While if you were to mirror to an ext4 on a different kernel version, it'd take more bugs
<elvishjerricco>
tilpner: I guess that's fair, but it does imply that an external disk on the same system doesn't count
<tilpner>
elvishjerricco: Yes, many people don't count those
<elvishjerricco>
Though any mirroring you do to remote storage has the same problem. If there's a bug in the original storage, you can't backup correct data in the first place.
<tilpner>
elvishjerricco: Always-attached disks see more wear, and apparently things can go wrong if your electricity isn't perfect
<tilpner>
elvishjerricco: Example: You have a local zfs pool, and upgrade the zfs version, to a new release that has a data-eating bug
<tilpner>
elvishjerricco: All your local data is gone now, and the remote data will be gone too if the remote runs the same code. As you're sending the exact same data, it will probably trigger the same bug
<tilpner>
elvishjerricco: But if the remote were ext4, it would not hit this bug, and you would have a copy of your data from before you updated to the buggy version
<elvishjerricco>
tilpner: This still doesn't show that the `3` in `3-2-1` can't be a ZFS mirrored vdev. In such cases, the remote backup can be used
<elvishjerricco>
er, the `2`, I guess? Terminology is weird :P
<tilpner>
elvishjerricco: Oh yes, I wasn't arguing that point. My point was that there's a good reason to make your "1" not also zfs
<elvishjerricco>
ah
<elvishjerricco>
that's interesting
<elvishjerricco>
hm so what to use for remote backups, then?
<tilpner>
I don't yet follow my own advice entirely, I'm waiting to build a local NAS that can do offsite backups properly
<tilpner>
My server uses duplicity to wasabi, which works okay
<tilpner>
But I can't yet sync zfs snapshots to my server, because it's still running 0.7*, and I don't really want it to be able to unlock my datasets
<elvishjerricco>
Yea the stuff I'm working with is all hobby level so I'm jumping straight to 0.8 :P
<tilpner>
So for now I syncoid from the SSD in my laptop to the HDD in my laptop, and occasionally to a LUKS-zfs-mirror built from two USB HDDs :/
<tilpner>
elvishjerricco: 0.8 was released, and I will upgrading to that once it's in 19.03
<tilpner>
*will be
<elvishjerricco>
Frankly, I don't consider the ZFS kernel module much more of a single point of failure than the Linux kernel itself, so I think I'm ok with relying on it for the remote backup
<tilpner>
And you'll probably be fine with that
<elvishjerricco>
"probably" great :P
<elvishjerricco>
but yea, we're talking about a pretty large sequence of unlikely failures before this presents problems
<tilpner>
There was recent data-eating TRIM bug
<tilpner>
Wouldn't affect you here, but who knows what the next bug will be
<elvishjerricco>
Yea the offsite backup would need to be set to "don't do anything fancy, ever, no matter what", so no TRIM or really any write operations except `zfs receive` and deleting snapshots
<tilpner>
Although after all the #!-length auto-backporting, you'd probably need to pin kernels externally (pinning nixpkgs) instead of internally (pinning boot.kernelPackages)
<elvishjerricco>
yea, pinning nixpkgs is already a requirement for every system I deal with :P
<tilpner>
It's not enough though
<tilpner>
I don't do it properly either, but ideally you would bump the pins for one machine only, test it a while, and only then bump the others
<elvishjerricco>
yea
<tilpner>
Pinning protects you from hitting a bug on just one machine
<elvishjerricco>
I generally do that by accident
<tilpner>
For now, I have global pins. There's just one json file "stable", and it applies to all my devices
<elvishjerricco>
Like I just want to update one thing on one machine, and then wait several weeks before deciding that another machine needs a similar update
<tilpner>
That's a relic from having to build server systems locally though

Yeah, but when you state "we don't store the password" that doesn't translate to, we don't store plaintext passwords

At least I have never heard it in that context, because that basically implies your system works on magic when authenticating users

<eyJhb>
Can anybody recommend home-manager?
<samueldr>
some can
<eyJhb>
samueldr: not using it yourself?
<samueldr>
no :) but still wanted to answer truthfully to your question
<samueldr>
"yes some people can recommend home-manager"
<tilpner>
eyJhb: You don't really need everything stored in precious memory
<samueldr>
I think the idea wasn't tmpfs per-se, but in a non-permanent storage
<tilpner>
eyJhb: gchristensen got the best of both solutions with a rolled-back-at-boot zfs dataset
<eyJhb>
Well... I would have to do some cleanup of $HOME if I had to do it in memory... Unless I pimp my x230 with 120 GB ram. -
<eyJhb>
rolled-back-at -boot?
<samueldr>
eyJhb: though, I am not a home-manager user, I've heard so much good about it that I'm sure it's just fine
<gchristensen>
my / rolls back to a completely empty directory at boot
<gchristensen>
my ~ is not on a tmpfs though, and persists through reboots
<eyJhb>
If we keep in the way of organizing once ~, how do you manage all your git repos?
<eyJhb>
But, do you normally store files outside of /? Or am I misunderstanding something?
<gchristensen>
well like /etc and /var get erased every boot
<samueldr>
different goals
<gchristensen>
so it basically guarantees that my system config is complete and not missing important stuff
<eyJhb>
I may be in doubt of how NixOS works. Does it only cleanup /etc /var on rebuild?
<gchristensen>
it never "Cleans up" those directories
<eyJhb>
Oh
<eyJhb>
I actually thought, that everything in / was out of reach, except folders you add yourself....
<eyJhb>
Doensn't that increase boot times?
<gchristensen>
services write to /var, logs and stuff
<gchristensen>
a second or two maybe?
<eyJhb>
I must increase the wear of the SSD? If you use one
<eyJhb>
samueldr: btw, different goals?
<gchristensen>
not much, I don't think so? it doens't really write much at all during this reset
<andi->
My main concern would be wifi profiles of network manager but I guess you also have those in your config (or the WPA supplicant config)..
<samueldr>
ephemeral system boot volume; ephemeral user config volume
<eyJhb>
andi- now you just remind me, that I actually ahve to take care of my wifi...... :/
<eyJhb>
But, is that all handled by ZFS gchristensen ?
<samueldr>
I guess with careful usage of symlinks networkmanager profiles in /etc can be linked to a stateful location if wanted
<eyJhb>
samueldr makes sense. Still sounds quite nice
<gchristensen>
andi-: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections is symlinked to /rpool/persist/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ :)
<samueldr>
eyJhb: definitely, wasn't poopooing any of those two, but pointing out they're orthogonal and have different requirements :)
<andi->
gchristensen: makes sense
<gchristensen>
eyJhb: for my boot very little is changed on disk. about a dozen symlinks are created in /etc, a few directories are created, and that is it
<eyJhb>
But I am guessing it takes some time setting up
<gchristensen>
it took a few minutes to configure when I installed NixOS yeah
<eyJhb>
Displaylink... Doesn't support it.. So I have two monitors where it works/dimm, and one that just destroys my eyes..
<gchristensen>
:o
<samueldr>
right, displaylink :/
<eyJhb>
Like 99.9% of my problems are displaylink related (my boot time in dock is 3 minutes, MIN..), or me being stupid
<samueldr>
eyJhb: strange flex, but does it work better with chromeos? I've seen they have firmwares for displaylink hardware in their rootfs
<samueldr>
(you're likely not able to test I guess)
<eyJhb>
samueldr I want my three monitors! :( - Haven't tested it at all
<Taneb>
(I'd imagine displaylink would be good for playing Zelda games)
<eyJhb>
But it is the same proprietary stuff...
<eyJhb>
=> not being able to dim?
<eyJhb>
gchristensen: what is your danger-zone?
<samueldr>
yeah, just wondering if google has more magic for it, and if so if it's possible to cherry-pick whatever magic from their kernel (if any)
<Taneb>
(dumb joke, sorry)
<samueldr>
Taneb forgot that the main character is named Zelda, and that the tech is not named DisplayZelda
<samueldr>
;)
<gchristensen>
eyJhb: I had another dataset called root, and created danger-root when I started reverting it to empty
<gchristensen>
which felt dangerous
<eyJhb>
I think they use pretty much the same, so not much to do... Except use a eGPU, but then I have to loose 4 GB of ram
<eyJhb>
It usually is!
<eyJhb>
gchristensen: so when you do a rollback, will NixOS automatically symlink the files again?
<gchristensen>
yep
<eyJhb>
And.. Your cryptkey is stored.. Where? Another partition?
<gchristensen>
eyJhb: /dev/disk/by-uuid/0c1e8ef4-4b84-404f-a7c8-0871017aa086 this block device is my LUKS key

Has anyone done a price comparison on apple’s Mac Pro they announced yesterday? Apple said their $6000 base model costs $8000 from their competitors, but has anyone actually tried to price check those parts to confirm?
Jackneill has joined #nixos-chat
<drakonis>
wait seriously?
<drakonis>
this is outrageously expensive
<drakonis>
a $1200 cpu
<drakonis>
this is incredibly outrageous
<gchristensen>
server CPUs are expensive
<elvishjerricco>
Even with a $1200 CPU, I’m not sure the rest of the price is made up for in the base model
<gchristensen>
the ssd is hilarious
<elvishjerricco>
IIRC it had 32GB of non-ECC RAM and a single graphics card.
<elvishjerricco>
gchristensen: why’s that?
<gchristensen>
it is a $6k computer with a 256GB ssd...
<ivan>
there's no way that xeon machine costs $8000
<ivan>
Apple has had a habit of lying about those price comparisons
<elvishjerricco>
I’m reading up a bit. Some journalists are concluding that it’s all the extra stuff that makes it cost so much
<ivan>
barring some rare exceptions you can assume Apple takes a ~30% profit over competitors
<elvishjerricco>
A motherboard with 8 PCIe slots is rare, for instance
<elvishjerricco>
Thunderbolt is rare, for some reason
<elvishjerricco>
Prebuilt options from HP and Dell that match the feature set do seem to cost significantly more
<elvishjerricco>
So it looks like a $3000 desktop with $3000 more dollars worth of specialties

32GB of RAM on those?
<elvishjerricco>
Yea
<elvishjerricco>
The new display also has insane specs, but it’s hilarious that they’re charging $1,000 for the damn display

For the stand*
<elvishjerricco>
$1,000 for the stand
<gchristensen>
yeah that is ... remarkable
<elvishjerricco>
The display itself is probably actually worth its price to studios
<gchristensen>
apple sure does know its customer
<elvishjerricco>
It’s weird because they haven’t catered to the studio customers in a long long time
<gchristensen>
yeah...
<elvishjerricco>
But studios are willing to shell out absurd amounts of money for specialty hardware, so I guess they’re capitalizing on that
<samueldr>
funny how it was touted for Developers at the wwDc, while it's likely not at all the real target :/
<samueldr>
it seemed to tacked on... "you can put the display in portrait mode by rotating it" "perfect for writing code"
<samueldr>
right, 7000$ display for writing code?
<gchristensen>
I love to hurt my neck by putting code in portrait mode
<samueldr>
5999$ for the matte option, plus 999$ for the stand if there is doubt
<samueldr>
gchristensen: I love portrait mode for code!
<samueldr>
(22-incher though)
<ivan>
samueldr: do you sit high / have a low table?
<samueldr>
not sure, standard desk
<samueldr>
the display is is all literally at arm's length, I can only tickle it with my fingers
<gchristensen>
do you do that often? =0
<samueldr>
meaning that it's just enough to touch it, but I need to bend forward a bit if I want to actually do something else than tickle it :)

gchristensen, to be fair, a amd cpu beats the xeon right now
<drakonis>
its a 8 core cpu
<drakonis>
and for some reason there's amd's pre navi hardware in it

:/ the twitter client I was using (twidere) just lost the ability to list replies of a tweet... the client is not developed anymore, it likely won't be fixed
<gchristensen>
twitter is super aggressive to 3rd party clients :(
<samueldr>
yes, it already only was working since it was piggy backing the official keys
<gchristensen>
ooh hah
<samueldr>
though this change is likely an API change that the app is incompatible with
<samueldr>
it's OSS, so maybe it's fixable
<samueldr>
(oh, to be clear, the piggy backing of keys was made by the end-user, the app ships without keys)
drakonis has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
<samueldr>
any recommendations for apps? looked at what's in f-droid, all built using their own keys so likely to have issues
<samueldr>
also looked at linux apps and... not many still being developed, I think I only found mikutter that's conclusively being worked on
drakonis has joined #nixos-chat
<samueldr>
but couldn't figure out how to use it in a few minutes
<samueldr>
main feature I need is being solid at delivering the whole timeline
<samueldr>
meaning that when opening the app it should stick to where it was in time, and load from there up to now, without skipping spans
<samueldr>
hmmm, since it's "my fault" due to my shenanigans with hiding directories I'll share here
<samueldr>
but looks like *something* is weird with chrootenv and execve; and when /nix is hidden it will fail with ENOENT at execve
<samueldr>
I'm not sure I used chrootenv since upgrading to 19.03 (not used steam or steam-run in forever)
<pie__>
i need to get some wacom configurator working on here one of these days, i need to change some stuff around for my device...
<pie__>
i think kde has some thing but we dont have it
<samueldr>
like what?
<pie__>
disable touch functionality, there was something else i forgot
<samueldr>
if it's to map to a specific display, xinput map-to-output is good
<samueldr>
ah
<pie__>
and like, not having to set it on the commandline
<samueldr>
right
<pie__>
a bit of windows envy right now
<pie__>
samueldr, also i had some weird problem where xsetwacom didnt see anything but some other less functional tool did
<pie__>
ive complained about this before just didnt know how to fix anything
