- Mkasick: new WAPs make Macs and me very sad
- Owl doesn't work on any of our shells
- zephyr is dead
- Saturday
- got new machines
- need etch installed on them
- one of them is 64-bit
- chased down unknown Dom0s (to Nagios)
- started hypothesizing ways to fix the issue with no [physical] space
- Power outage
- "awesome"
- need a shutdown protocol
- wiki is not a good place for information, when it is turned off
- similar issue with monitor, can't see what's up if monitor is down
- BGP
- went down, due to power outage
- asked if we still needed it
- if we do, we need good justification
- Power outage (continued)
- should also have startup protocol
- what comes up first, YTTRIUM or ZIRCONIUM?
- Mkasick: it's all circular, you need to reboot everything anyway
- LCDs actually do work, before machines come up (do need power though)
- IMAP
- seems to be working fine now...
- there is no problem with IMAP, except for no non-SSL
- some people do use STARTTLS
- Mkasick:
- doesn't like readlink()
- doesn't add nul-terminators to symlink contents
- symlinks need not point to files
- FreeBSD malloc.conf, symlink with random letters
- inconsistent files in Coda, FID
- Power outage (continued, again)
- is there a downtime announcement list?
- yes
- BGP people don't care about contrib going down...
- annoyed a person, by shutting down our BGP machine, paged him all night
- told dk08 when we were turning things off
- why?
- spark depends on how many things aren't off
- need to know how far back to stand...
- perhaps could get moved to backup routers in New House
- asymmetry may have gone away
- aren't really doing particularly researchy things any more, but have
some applications (see what's I1, what's I2)
- would probably be happy with feed from backup router
- Must recent ISO IDS thing
- PDL retreat, Eugene's machine had been kicked off network
- was doing experiments on Amazon's EC2
- kicked off, compromised, opening ssh connections to $large_number
of machines
- no, not really, we do distributed systems stuff all the time
- fun email rounds to Lerchey
- 18 hour response time not acceptable
- EC2, 100 nodes, $40/hour, ...
- Roboclub weird IP address
- roboticsclub.org, roboclub.org, go to doorbell
- www.roboticsclub.org, www.roboclub.org work right
- 128. IP-address
- routers eat after one hop... goes to 172. land?
- Mdille3:
- my email address is a vulnerable webserver
- replace contrib in their databases with Michael's andrew account
- notification was actually useful
- this URL, pharma spam, fix

- YouTube related videos are a gateway drug
- Mdille3: my "hobby" is entirely your fault, Mkasick
- every YouTube video link, ZX spectrum demos as related
- hmm... what is this ZX thing?
- found beta disk interface schematics
- stared at them all night
- can make one now, maybe
- interfaces expansion bus to floppy drive of your choice
- 5.25" or 3.5", as long as it talks to appropriate floppy
drive controller
- schematics painful though, hand-drawn, 50dpi, non-english
- 10 different versions all different, but for the same thing,
some incomplete
- kind of miserable, as a result
- Event (continued)
- Dkohlbre should talk to Csawyer
- we should probably poster, in addition to whatever KGB will do

suitcases
