Time S Nick Message
01:27 aditsu prologic: heh, I also want to make my own url shortener and pastebin :)
01:27 aditsu btw, you seem to have a self-signed certificate at https://paste.mills.io/, why not use letsencrypt?
02:24 prologic aditsu: letsencrypt doesn't support wildcard certs (yet)?
02:25 prologic aditsu: also would you consider using/contributing to the ones I wrote? :D super simple but works quite well and using them daily now :D
02:25 aditsu no, but you can either issue multiple certs, or put a whole bunch of hostnames in one cert
02:25 prologic also importantly resource consumption is quite low for the effort required for development
02:25 prologic aditsu: I see
02:25 prologic I'll reevaluate letencrypt in that case
02:26 aditsu first of all, I won't use anything with a self-signed certificate :)
02:26 prologic noooo lol
02:26 prologic use the damn software :D
02:26 prologic I don't actually want others ot use my own self-hosted crap besides me and my family tbh :P
02:27 prologic eventually I'll lock certain things down but I don't particularly care about opening up a url shortenrer and pastebin
02:27 aditsu oh, well, what's it written in?
02:28 prologic Go ;P
02:28 aditsu nope
02:28 prologic ahahaha
02:28 prologic why?
02:29 aditsu I don't know it, I don't have it, I don't know how to set it up, and not really interested in learning these things now
02:29 prologic hah
02:30 prologic depends if you need to hack/contribute to it I guess
02:30 prologic I can easily solve the other two by providing binary releases
02:30 prologic but I "get it"
02:32 aditsu and if that was not a problem, I would still be concerned about how it's designed to work, and whether it's easier to change it to what I want or rewrite it from scratch
02:36 prologic fair
04:06 aditsu hmm, got no answer in #postgresql so let me try here..
04:06 aditsu I want to run a program that updates a table on a remote server, how should I set up the connection? priorities: secure, reliable, simple
04:07 aditsu both machines running Linux, and I control them 100%
04:07 aditsu should I set up a vpn connection first?
04:13 prologic ssh tunnel; use pgsql on the client tunnel side
04:13 prologic fast, secure, reliable and simple
04:18 aditsu prologic: I thought about it.. but I'd like it to run in the background, start at boot, etc
04:19 aditsu ssh tunnel seems more suitable for temporary stuff, things I run by hand
05:04 prologic In that cse I'd setup a VPN
17:34 pdurbin aditsu: can you just run a cron job on your remote server?
19:10 aditsu pdurbin: I could, but it needs data from the local server
19:10 aditsu prologic: btw I'm using an ssh tunnel for now :p
19:12 pdurbin all's well that ends well
19:19 aditsu I'll probably do it through vpn later
19:36 dotplus prologic: https://letsencrypt.org//2017/07/06/wildcard-certificates-coming-jan-2018.html
19:42 aditsu dotplus: wow, that frickin' awesome!
19:42 aditsu that's*
19:44 aditsu they seem overly optimistic about the donations though :p $2500 monthly?
