What Are You Doing Right Now

Internet went out briefly tonight. That's two or three times today at least in addition to it being super slow. I wonder if the gear crashes and the person at the front desk of the hotel (this is a condo and hotel together) reboots it because they have nothing to do but surf the Internet all night and so they notice immediately when it fails.

Trying to get caught up on some blogging while things are quiet.

Interesting note... in Linux Mint if you switch to UK English instead of American (US) English it corrects you when you write cafe to café. It's the little things.

Up with a sick child. She has a terrible cough and I am trying to get her to take some cough medicine.
That is no way to start the day... we had one come in at 4am ,.. coughing as well.

Watching the sun come up on the Gulf over the twinkling lights of oil tankers on the horizon is pretty cool.
-
Getting moving for the day. Good Morning ML World!

Finally getting my day started too.... I gotta get my bed shaker alarm back out. Since I've had this cochlear implant, my left ear has also lost what little hearing it had left and no longer will wake me up when my phone is blaring alarm noises.
-
I am so glad that I sleep without any alarm. Waking up to an alarm just ruins my day.
-
I have to have one... otherwise I'd sleep til noon everyday... and then I'd wake up to my wife or kid poking me with a stick to see if I was dead or not, lol.
-
If I set an alarm I end up not being able to sleep because I spend my time thinking about the alarm going off. If I don't set one, I tend to get more and better sleep and get up earlier than the alarm would have gone off anyway.
-
On coffee number two. Dominica just woke up.
-
Playing with HAProxy. I can't get it to display the proxied webpage, just tries to download an application/octet file.

Here's a great "tutorial" by howtoforge. "The Perfect Server" that has Apache, PHP, MySQL, BIND, Postfix, Dovecot, FTP, and ISPConfig 3 all on the same box. The article also instructs you to disable AppArmor because "you don't need it to configure a secure system."

What is their logic for why AppArmor is unnecessary?

"AppArmor is a security extension (similar to SELinux) that should provide extended security. In my opinion you don't need it to configure a secure system, and it usually causes more problems than advantages (think of it after you have done a week of trouble-shooting because some service wasn't working as expected, and then you find out that everything was ok, only AppArmor was causing the problem)."
Seems like sound logic /sarcasm
Not to mention the fact that all of this is installed along with Bind.

Yeah, he doesn't say why he feels it doesn't aid security only that the advantages aren't enough. That the advantages aren't enough might be valid, but that's not the same as not being important for security. Long passwords aren't always worth it either
