libera/#devuan-dev/ Wednesday, 2019-12-18

masonAh, Thursday again. Ah well. I'm taking a comp day tomorrow so I'll definitely be free during that timeslot.00:00
onefangFriday for those of us living in the future.  B-)00:02
golinuxmason: We've moved to Thursday because LeePen has an obligation every Wednesday.00:28
golinuxSee you this week then?  Hope so.00:29
onefangThese days it's mostly about getting Beowulf out, things I can't help with.  And lately I've been up at 4 or 5 AM to switch from "windows open and fans in them to cool down my home" to "space blanket hung in the window, closed, shades drawn, to keep the high 30s C temperatures out for as long as I can", then going to bed to get some sleep before it gets too hot.  Was 41 C on Monday.  You don't want to00:34
onefangsee me in my "naked to keep cool" state.  lol00:34
onefangNot to mention this heat has made the Internet unreliable, sometimes even IRC is too much for it.00:35
LeePenonefang: Re openvpn. Would you test the new openvpn destined for beowulf? It is built for unstable. Ideally, I would like verification of functionality before moving it to beowulf.10:48
LeePenIt is version 2.4.7-1+devuan1.10:49
LeePenThanks10:49
onefangI guess I could add unstable to my ASCII desktop, install that version of OpenVPN, test it with my ASCII OpenVPN server, and if there's no problems do the same to my server and test things more.11:42
onefangAre you in a hurry LeePen?11:43
LeePenThanks. Not particularly. Just on the list of things I am working through.11:43
LeePenI think you could just download openvpn_2.4.7-1+devuan1_amd64.deb (or whatever your arch is) from the pool and install it with dpkg -i11:44
onefangStarting around the 6th of January, I'll be migrating to a new server.  I'll have both servers available to me for a month.  Once the migration is done ,that'll be a good time to test out unstable software on my old stable server.11:45
onefangI don't intend to upgrade anything to Beowulf until later next year.11:46
LeePenOK. No worries then. Thanks.11:46
onefangThe new server was a surprise development, out of the blue my server company offered my newer hardware, bigger faster disks, RAID, better location, for the same amount of money.  Think it's a Christmas present for a loyal customer, or they figured it would be easier on them than fixing the BIOS on my old server.  Oh and free bandwidth for a month.  But now I have to plan an unexpected server migration.11:48
onefangThough now that the heat has fallen below 32 C for most of the next week, I could fire up my test box and try out client side OpenVPN on it.11:52
onefangJust checked the latest forecast, 31 tomorrow, 32 to 34 for the rest of the week.11:53
LeePenOK. I really only want a quick test of installability and basic function so that I know I am not completely breaking things by moving the new package to beowulf.11:54
onefangOK, unless something comes up, I'll test it on my test box tomorrow.11:54
LeePenWhere are you?!! It is midwinter here. Sunrise at about 9am and down by 4pm!11:55
onefangEast coast sub tropical Australia, city of Brisbane.  It was 41 C on Monday.11:55
LeePen:-o11:57
onefangAll my computers except my main desktop I turn off when it goes over 32 C.  This desktop I built for the heat, the others not so much.11:57
onefangThe local city councilor is a friend of mine, and his office is nearby, he let my hide in his air conditioning on Monday.  I don't have AC at home.11:58
LeePenWe never get that hot. Now the snow is here and it was -10 last week!11:58
onefangWe never see snow, and I hate the cold, so I'm happy with that.  lol11:59
LeePenI LOVE the snow!12:00
LeePenIt is the damp murk that is less fun.12:00
LeePenDreich as it is called.12:00
onefangI visited snow once, and when I lived in a colder part of Australia snow visited me once.12:01
onefangOn the other hand, when it gets hot, I like to drink what is basically the equivalent of flavoured snow. B-)12:02
LeePen;)12:05
