you're using ruby, I don't know anything about deploying that, but ...

looks like the user is blank. that bit should probably read something like 'myuser@localhost', but the 'myuser' part is missing. my guess is that somewhere you were supposed to set it up with a username but that field hasn't been filled in.

I really hate that on my days off I have to choose between either "be productive and do something productive" or "have fun and drink a little and play video games". when I decide to combine the two "have fun and drink and try to be productive" stuff like this happens.

I remember a few years back my buddy and I got very intoxicated and set up a minecraft server, with a few mods in it and everything, and it would sync to our computers using dropbox. The next day we still have no idea how we set it up. This was back before it was all easy peasy run exe (that rhymes).

ideally you'd create a separate user for ruby ... I don't know what it needs in terms of administrative rights. if it's running its own web server on a port < 1024 then it will need to be a user with rights to do that (tradtionally, creating listening sockets on low-numbered ports needs an elevated level of permissions). i dunno whether rails provides its own web server or it expects to talk to nginx or apache or something (like you'd do for PHP)

web servers normally start up needing root permissions and then drop those permissions for a less capable user once they've set up the socket

Oh yeah I did that, that was the user I was logged into. When I get home I'll just try reinstalling and see if I missed anything. Part of the problem was I was using an install script to do a majority of it for me, and it might have missed something.

Dude yeah, I imagine things are gonna go pretty south for the company. Would hate to have stock in them right now.

it's just baffling how they thought nobody would find it, you have to wonder who made the decision to go ahead with that

did it affect the safety of the cars? if not i think people just might not care

2015-09-19 04:14:26 pm

i dunno, they're having to recall a big pile of vehicles though

2015-09-19 04:16:47 pm

ah yeah that would probably deter people from buying again

i have a volkswagen but it's not affected - i'd probably buy another one

2015-09-19 04:17:57 pm

yeah they're decent cars, I'd happily drive one

i don't really think so, kind of a pain to drive up mountains in my dinky little jetta

ah ok

man i want to climb more fourteeners, hopefully two next year

2015-09-19 05:19:10 pm

*googles*

do you actually need climbing gear for that or is it more like fellwalking?

2015-09-19 05:22:56 pm

red chamber dream

had to google fellwalking heh

yeah, most of them are like that. almost all of them are scalable without gear, but with several it's recommended. but there's a couple dozen that are mostly hiking with maybe some tougher scrambling on rocks closer to the peak. the one i climbed is considered the easiest of them, and it wasn't too tough. it's a lot of fun, i'm looking forward to doing some tougher ones

2015-09-19 05:25:59 pm

yeah sounds good, I'm too lazy and disorganised to do anything like that but on one of very few family holidays we got to go on before my dad got ill we went to the lake district and climbed a load of fells

one time visiting my grandparent's up in Washington, my grandfather and I did a massive hike. Like multiple hours worth of just hiking up this mountain, it was crazy.
