moparisthebest: hi. my friend still need help with sslh...

can someone comment id this work for sslh to show in apache2 real ip: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-nginx-as-a-reverse-proxy-for-apache fiest install nginx and then apache2 what port has to be in sslh, what port has to be nginx andwhat port has to be apache2.

neshtaxmpp: my answer this week is the same as last week https://github.com/yrutschle/sslh/blob/master/README.md#transparent-proxy-support it's a bit off topic for this channel so you'll just have to figure it out yourself from there

MattJ: thanks for the pointer, ugh I hate writing documentation :)

moparisthebest: what documentation you write. when someone ask you somethink tou dont know it.

Annoying, my Eurostar has been cancelled, so I'll be even later on Thursday now.

dwd, why? too much snow on the tracks or some lame escuse like that?

Predicted severe weather conditions.

Looks like they've cancells the first and third train of the day.

:(

It's not making it easy to change, either...

weather is not so nice indeed here

Frosty here, but no snow - I hear there's snow further east.

yes it's snowing, and the snow stay

I guess for trains it's kind of dangerous so they have to take cautions

Oh, joy. Which did they cancel?

I hope you all arrive safe and have a pleasant journey to summit

9110 (0647) and 9116 (0854)

as mentioned, I’ll attend remotely tomorrow

https://www.eurostar.com/uk-en/disruption_hub for anyone looking at UK cancellations.

However, some of todays are cancelled too - looks like the Brussels cancellations are all in the morning though.

FFS. Eurostart want me to talk to Trainline, Trainline are apparently unreachable by phone.

It's going to be one of those weeks, I think.

Your question has been received. You should expect a response from us within 7 days. Subject Eurostar booking cancelled

Yeah, that is *not* entirely helpful.

m(

Presumably unreachable means they're not answering, rather than couldn't find a number for them?

Try https://www.thetrainline.com/en/help/contact/chat ?

dwd ^

Oh, no. They answer, but helpfully tell me the number I called is only for UK travel. For Eurostar, I need to send an email.

> Currently we are not able to provide you with chat support if travel is outside of the UK

Ahhar.

Brexit came early to them?

Amazingly, they've got back to me, claiming they ordinarily can't exchange for free (like Eurostar do), but have to charge - but this time they won't as a goodwill gesture.

hmm, I'm travelling by train tomorrow morning. This does not bode well.

(also, you've paid for a trip, which was cancelled by the operator, but you ordinarily have to pay more to get that resolved? Eh?

Well, exactly.

I'm sure there are EU passenger protection rules in place. Yet.

you are even entitled for a reimbursement for delays over 60min

(but I wouldn't claim that until after the trip, for strategic reasons)

Righty, new ticket on the way, and they're refunding me the cost (but it might take 7 days!).

Top tip for UK folks: Don't use Trainline for booking Eurostar.

What happened?

MattJ, Train cancelled, and Trainline don't, it seems, like to change the tickets without charging. ANd it's pretty well impossible to get hold of them.

Right, new ticket arrived - look like I'll just about make it for lunchtime.

Need more night trains

Yeah. The only night trains I know cross EU are from Austrian railway and Russian railway.

Cross-EU? Yes, probably. Inside countries, most sleeper services have been shut down, though the Caledonian Sleeper still runs.

But that's less a train than a mobile drinking session from what I've heard.

fun sidenote: the german train company thing (Deutsche Bahn) sold their sleeper trains in germany after having run them non-profitably. The austrian service bought them and seems to be making good money out of it.

The Russian train goes from Moscow to (Paris or Nice). Takes nearly two days.

Is it even worth it?

Going to France? Unlikely :D

Chilling on a train for two days sounds nice

I'd probably get more work done than a week at home. I seem to be particularly productive on trains for some reason.

(Which sounds like an excellent reason not to do it)

I wonder if there are train subscriptions that are cheaper than renting office space.

4.4kEUR for 1 year in germany, 2nd class (7.4k 1st class)

That's cheaper than my apartment

It does rather depend on the type of journey and the seat I have ;)

no showers though

(although I don’t know if there’s anything in the 1st class area of train stations in that regard)

I wasn't implying living in a train, just working.

network will probably be problematic...

No onboard internets?

I'm not sure about other countries, but that's not very reliable in Dutch trains

You can do mail and stuff, but a SSH terminal is not recommended.

it’s pretty decent in ICEs in germany, actually

it was awful in the Eurostar

the onboard network was OK, but they lost coverage while traversing the wide plains of France... 🙂

Let me tell you about the endless wilderness of northern Sweden

It's got pretty good coverage actually

Guus: mosh ?

that can’t fix the latency, can it?

That's basically what it's for

I thought it’s for seamless reconnects.

ah, local echo magic

Fake tho

I don’t trust that ;-)

jonas’: decent uplink in ICEs is an illusion. You are capped to 200MB per day and train.

jonas’: and then it's down half of the time, and severely overprovisioned the other half

itym underprovisioned ;-)

(and overallocated)

or did you? or whatever

jonas’: what you say.

anyway, I've mostly made bad experiences with ICE wifi

yes there is definitely no last call for namespace delegation, I have some modifications waiting from some free time

and the message talks about XEP-0335 but the item is XEP-0355

(talking about council minutes ^)

Yeah, that was my error, sorry!

no worries

A recent event made me re-prioritize the removal of GC1.0 from the 0045 spec.

Mmmm flight delayed

Zash: EU passenger rights!

How?

I think you’re entitled to a telegraph

make f*ing use of that, just to screw with them

also, I’d like to get a telegraph.

jonas’: what do you need a telegraph for?

fur fun

*for fun

Mmhmmm... fur fun! 🦊🐺🐻

To each their niche

😉

It's all fun and games until someone looses a hair.. Or so.
