10:29 < friend1> Sarah Jeong's livetweeting of the Google v. Oracle case (round three) is tragically hilarious 

10:29 < friend1> Schwartz explains GNU stands for. "GNU is not Unix." Alsup: The G part stands for GNU? Schwartz: Yes. Alsup: That doesn't many any sense 

10:29 < friend1> Now Schwartz is explaining free software and keeps getting carried away, Alsup keeps stopping him telling him not to make a speech 

10:29 < friend1> "Now you're giving a speech." Schwartz stops with the cadence of a man who has been asked to stop talking about free software before.

[me]: That seems like a better idea /me joins coworker2 /me sips

yo61 on openstack

randomfrequency [1:17 PM] people think they don't need the stuff esxi provides

[1:18] then they actually try to manage that crap

[1:18] the unfortunate matter is that the hypervisor has become such a valueless commodity, especially in the face of VT-x/VT-d that there's no value in it. Very little performance gains can be had.

[1:19] but eventually you're going to want to live migrations or consume a vlan trunk

[1:19] and thats where it gets complicated

[1:19] then you want tooling

pcn [1:19 PM] But the esxi vswitch is limited, NSX is just some extra value-add on top of OVS, and very limited without NSX/OVS

randomfrequency [1:19 PM] And now you know why F5 load balancers start out at $60k - it's cheaper than hiring 1 (ne, 3 people) to do it.

yo61 [1:20 PM] And that’s exactly where OpenStack corners the market, with it’s simple, intuitive architecture. 3

pcn [1:20 PM] And when you talk about getting to scale, nuage or contrail are a better proposition

[10:03] redacted TIL RF HAS A BLOG OF DOOM

[10:03] with yet another iteration of “HOW FUCKED UP CAN WE DO SUBNETS IN TERRAFORM???"

[randomfrequency]

Boto3 is amazing, how or I determine why you can’t provision a volume.

Hitting ebs limits? Not sure what's provisioned?

#!/usr/bin/env python import boto3 from pprint import pprint ec2 = boto3.client('ec2') # responses = ec2.describe_volumes(Filters=[{'Name': 'status', 'Values': ['available']}]) responses = ec2.describe_volumes() sizes = { 'standard': 0, 'gp2': 0, 'io1': 0 } for response in responses['Volumes']: size = response['Size'] VolumeType = response['VolumeType'] sizes[VolumeType] = sizes[VolumeType] + size print sizes

This is valid terraform:

subnets = "${lookup(var.private_subnets, "${lookup(var.zone_index, "zone1")}")},${lookup(var.private_subnets, "${lookup(var.zone_index, "zone2")}")}"

14:12 [coworker1]: Sorry guys. I have to step out for about 40 minutes. The city is going to open another marijuana store a few block from my house and next to our high school. We've had 4 marijuana stores opened last year. I have to go there drop a note saying I have concerns, and they do not take email. Public comments will be closed at 5 pm today. 14:15 [coworker2]: are you concerned about them running out?

ssh vunerability

http://www.mail-archive.com/misc@openbsd.org/msg144351.html

So there's a vunerablity in openssh.

The workaround is to add "UseRoaming no" to /etc/ssh/ssh_config.

Not sshd_config.

I wonder how many people using ansible can't reach their ec2 instances today.

Wonders why mystery jenkins job is failing

"Ssh's to redacted to determine if a very specific mounted disk is >75% disk used via a moderately complicated one liner shell script, invoking grep and awk."

My planet needs me, I can't stay here any longer.

Hey, Blizzard managed to design a woman in a video game who isn’t model-thin. She’s Russian, because their game is a cast of stereotypes and if you’re gonna have a large, strong woman she must be Russian. Her backstory is that she was a famous Russian bodybuilder who dropped her career to go fight in a robot war in her native Siberia.

She actually looks pretty great though. You could probably count every woman with buff arms in all of video game history on one hand, even the ones who use huge guns.
