| mulbah | Good Morning Mr. Cole | 13:30 |
|---|---|---|
| ubuntourist | ACTION will be on in a second. | 13:30 |
| mulbah | How are you doing | 13:30 |
| ubuntourist | Sorry. I need to step away for a minute. Be right back. | 13:31 |
| mulbah | Okay | 13:32 |
| ubuntourist | I'm back. Autumn is upon us and temperatures are starting to drop. It's currently 56 degrees Farenheit, which is "brisk" fall weather. | 13:35 |
| ubuntourist | I'm doing reasonably well. How about yout? | 13:35 |
| ubuntourist | (How about you?) | 13:36 |
| mulbah | I'm good | 13:37 |
| ubuntourist | What's the latest progress in systems administration? | 13:37 |
| mulbah | Configuring and understanding Linux logging mechanisms such as syslog, journalctl, and rsyslog. | 13:43 |
| mulbah | I share example of it how I been pratcing | 13:44 |
| ubuntourist | I wonder if there's enough budget for you to have a virtual server on the internet. | 13:44 |
| ubuntourist | That way, your colleagues could "experiment" and ask you to do things on the experimental server. | 13:45 |
| mulbah | We can I ask jeff on that | 13:45 |
| ubuntourist | "Hey, Mulbah! Could you install bla-bla-blah for me?" | 13:45 |
| ubuntourist | "Hey Mulbah! I need a new group so that I can share stuff with these three other people." | 13:46 |
| ubuntourist | "We need an account for someone who is not part of the co-op. Can you make an account that cannot see our files?" | 13:47 |
| ubuntourist | "Something went wrong. Can you check the logs and see if you can figure out what is going on?" | 13:47 |
| ubuntourist | (For that last one, you should be asking the user for more details. What version of which application? | 13:48 |
| ubuntourist | What was the EXACT error message? What time and date did it occur? Answers to those questions would help you | 13:49 |
| ubuntourist | search for more details in the system logs.) | 13:49 |
| ubuntourist | To be honest, I think that a lot of what is in the book will not be used on a day-to-day basis. | 13:50 |
| ubuntourist | Once you have set up your server the way you like, the main thing will be keeping everything updated, | 13:51 |
| ubuntourist | and paying attention to news about possible security threats. Maybe, eventually, someone in the co-op will want to | 13:52 |
| ubuntourist | try something very new that will require reconfiguring files in /etc/ but usually, your average tasks | 13:53 |
| mulbah | Right now there is no way to do that cause there is no server | 13:53 |
| ubuntourist | will be routine. | 13:53 |
| ubuntourist | I thought there was a Jetro Web Development server. It may be possible to host another server on | 13:54 |
| ubuntourist | that same hardware, without incurring additional fees. | 13:54 |
| mulbah | No Jetro Web don't have a server it githup we are using as our hosting stuff | 13:55 |
| ubuntourist | Oh. And all of your physical hardware is in the form of laptops, then? Or is there a larger | 13:56 |
| ubuntourist | computer at the school? | 13:56 |
| mulbah | No there is none | 13:56 |
| mulbah | so for me to really do practical on some of the stuff that I learn it can be hard but still managing to learn | 13:57 |
| ubuntourist | Poo. That does make it a little harder and less "practical". | 13:57 |
| mulbah | sure | 13:59 |
| ubuntourist | One example of something new that I learned a little about last year: I was familiar with Apache, but not Nginx. | 13:59 |
| ubuntourist | I set up my first server that has my own domain and I decided to learn Nginx. | 14:00 |
| ubuntourist | While I was setting it up, I was reading about modern security practices and read about something called | 14:00 |
| ubuntourist | Content Security Policies (CSP). I had never heard of CSP, but there are a bunch of settings that can be | 14:01 |
| ubuntourist | added to Nginx to implement CSP. I still don't understand a lot of it, but now my wee web server uses CSP. | 14:02 |
| ubuntourist | But on a day-tp-day basis, I do not change any configuration now. I run updates to install the newer versions of packages | 14:02 |
| ubuntourist | but I don't really do anything else until something breaks or until I get a creative idea for something I want to try. | 14:03 |
| mulbah | but can that work with local server | 14:03 |
| mulbah | like implementing it in Node.js project | 14:04 |
| ubuntourist | Yeah. I still am not reading that book the way I thought I would, but it does have some very good recommendations for | 14:05 |
| ubuntourist | trying out everything on a local server. Still, it would be nice if your colleagues could "beat on" the machine and maybe make | 14:06 |
| ubuntourist | trouble for you to solve or propose experiments. | 14:07 |
| ubuntourist | They could potentially do unexpected things that the book might not cover or that might be in later chapters. | 14:08 |
| ubuntourist | It will make you more flexible in finding solutions quickly. But, really, the book seems to be very good. | 14:09 |
| mulbah | I make research on it and seeing "A well-implemented Content Security Policy (CSP) is considered "good" or effective because it offers a robust security layer that helps mitigate common security threats against web applications." | 14:10 |
| ubuntourist | And the goal for now is really just "Pass the ciertification exam and get certified." So, sticking with the book is fine. | 14:10 |
| mulbah | Alright | 14:10 |
| ubuntourist | I'm sorry I can't be of much more help. But if you run into trouble that you cannot solve yourself, I will TRY to help you research. | 14:11 |
| ubuntourist | Anyway, I don't have anything more to talk about this morning, and I have dirty clothing to wash. | 14:11 |
| ubuntourist | So, I am going to run off and start that soon. | 14:11 |
| mulbah | Okay thanks so much for the effort and I promise you that I will pass the exam | 14:13 |
| ubuntourist | Good luck! Bye for now! | 14:14 |
| mulbah | Alright Mr. Cole | 14:15 |
