General Linux Chat and Small Questions v. I broke my Arch Install - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=PredGD;43939918]if I recall correctly, it's been to get some software which hasn't been in the repos enabled.[/QUOTE] I have no experience with it myself, but I'm pretty sure that mixing repos with identical packages from two distro-versions could be bad.

[QUOTE=Anderen2;43939981]I have no experience with it myself, but I'm pretty sure that mixing repos with identical packages from two distro-versions could be bad.[/QUOTE] I'm as clueless as you are, I'll remove the ones I added for now just to be on the safe side

[QUOTE=PredGD;43939996]I'm as clueless as you are, I'll remove the ones I added for now just to be on the safe side[/QUOTE] Did it do any difference with the packages you wanted to install after updating? Or using aptitude? Also, does "sudo apt-get install libc6:i386" work any different?

I really don't want to know how you've managed to fuck up a system that badly. You've got repos for the current version of Debian, the last one, and some random Ubuntu shit in there. You should throw in the testing and unstable repos for Debian too, and the multimedia repo, and then maybe throw it into the pits of hell.

I know it was causing me grief on Mint for some un-fucking-known reason. Aptitude was just failing to update thanks to the Ubuntu multimedia repos. Once I disabled them it started working again.

Dammit, this is why I stopped delving into Linux a few years ago, I kept doing this to the only PC I had meaning I got no real work done.

It seems to me that you have encountered some kind of dependency hell because of all the different versions (And distro) packages you have on your system.

Is it possible for someone who doesn't have access to my Apache config see what things I have setup on mod_proxy? Say I have an IP on my local network mod_proxied to mydomain.ca/ihopenobodyfindsthis on the outside, would it be possible for someone to access /ihopenobodyfindsthis without knowing the link? Besides brute forcing it of course. Today I threw together some ugly Python / Arduino thing to remotely turn my desktop and second server on and off, but I'm not sure if I should go through the trouble of fixing it up a little to have a password prompt.

The way you worded it made it look like it was the worst imaginable thing to me. Still not entirely sure why it was never working for me though, might be worth digging through my sources list and seeing what's up with that.

Anyone know a way to run netcat in listen mode, but not have it exit when a client closes the connection? Edit: Everywhere I check, they say -k is supposed to do it, but nope. Edit2: Debian isn't running GNU netcat, it's running some bullshit version, so it doesn't have -k, what the fuck

Get nmap-netcat It's the best version out there. Also the netcat version installed on my server seems to support -k. I can give you the source files from the repo if you want so you can compile it.

some more issues with SteamCMD. managed to clean up the dependency hell with a reinstall, but for some reason SteamCMD still refuses to work. this is what the error is, as well as the rest [code]root@Diglett:/home/zomboid# /home/zomboid/steamcmd.sh +login predgd password +force_install_dir /home/zomboid/zomboid +app_update 108600 -beta onlinetest validate +exit Redirecting stderr to '/root/Steam/logs/stderr.txt' ILocalize::AddFile() failed to load file "public/steambootstrapper_english.txt".

[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;43943010]Not really but Apache is vulnerable to a lot of different attacks.[/QUOTE] Such as?

Apache itself is very secure. The main Security problems lie within PHP and CGI stuff. [editline]17th February 2014[/editline] Sometimes you may need to configure stuff here and there to harden it more, but this can also be said about nginx. [editline]17th February 2014[/editline] I personally go with Nginx + Naxsi with Forced SSL for all my needs for a secure webserver. Also added some fail2ban rules to block some well-known vulnerability scanners.

[url]http://www.unixstickers.com/opensuse[/url] I think it might be time to "decorate" my laptop.

Tonight's class was rather eventful. The bad news is that I had baby's first kernel panic after five or six years of first using the OS. The bad news is that it happened during a project presentation to the class. The bad news is that the person who sat next to me tried to lecture me why I should be using Manjaro instead of Ubuntu GNOME. I don't even know what caused the panic to begin with, I only had a web browser and a text editor up.

You should tell the guy that he's a filthy casual who should use Slackware.

[QUOTE=nikomo;43955443]You should tell the guy that he's a filthy casual who should use Slackware.[/QUOTE] And then some random Sysadmin in the crowd would shout that they both should feel bad for not using CentOS.

I kinda want to get some custom stickers made. Stuff like #!/usr/bin/fish etc

I just got the urge to print out a photo of RMS being all sexy, and put it on the Serverroom door.
