[16:00:34] <volans>	 marostegui, btullis, akosiaris: gentle reminder to not use cumin1001 for cumin/cookbooks but cumin1002/cumin2002 instead (see moritzm 's email from before the break)
[16:00:46] <marostegui>	 k
[16:01:42] <btullis>	 Oops, thanks for the reminder.
[16:06:24] <_joe_>	 volans: add a MOTD
[16:07:36] <volans>	 _joe_: it's there, on the readability of it I'll let moritz speak ;)
[16:09:41] <_joe_>	 volans: oh lol, I guess I just proved it's not very attention capturing 
[16:10:01] <_joe_>	 upon closer and careful inspection I could detect it
[16:13:40] <volans>	 I can only cite myself :-P https://wm-bot.wmcloud.org/browser/index.php?start=12%2F19%2F2023&end=12%2F19%2F2023&display=%23wikimedia-sre-foundations
[16:18:21] <Emperor>	 What's the ASCII terminal escape sequence for <marquee>?
[16:22:19] <bblack>	 $ echo -e "\033[31;1;4mHello\033[0m"
[16:22:35] <bblack>	 ^ example ANSI for making "Hello" in red,bold,underline (and then reset after)
[16:22:56] <bblack>	 cribbed from random SO answer
[16:29:09] <Emperor>	 https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/manpages/console_codes.4.en.html <-- if you want the full delights :)
[16:34:30] <bblack>	 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/puppet/+/987156 ?
[16:34:48] <bblack>	 something like that anyways
[16:35:12] <bblack>	 you could probably get fancier and probe for whether the terminal supports color escapes
[16:36:53] <bblack>	 it doesn't like the quoting, though
[16:37:47] <taavi>	 <marquee><blink>Do not use this server!</blink></marquee>
[16:38:22] <bblack>	 I think maybe PS2 would work
[16:54:22] <bblack>	 PS3 has it right now.  I ran it through the compiler and then pasted it over the shellscript on cumin1001 and logged in to check
[16:54:43] <bblack>	 (turns out -e is for /bin/echo, built-in echo doesn't want it and still processes the escapes)
[17:08:07] <Emperor>	 I think this is one of the reasons printf is sometimes preferred to echo :)
[17:09:16] <bblack>	 yeah one of our other examples in the repo uses printf
[17:09:21] <bblack>	 either way, same result in the end
[17:09:43] <bblack>	 modules/puppetmaster/files/motd/99-obsolete
[17:11:41] <bblack>	 which itself is kind of an ironic file
[17:12:30] <bblack>	 "99-obsolete" is itself obsolete.  I believe the last reference that made use of it died in a commit from Ariel in 2014 ( 8ea4674c2a4ad0c6dd15951db6594d9e777b62ca ), when we retired the old puppetmaster from the now-long-dead Tampa datacenter :)
[17:13:45] <bblack>	 someone should write a lint tool that detected puppet files, templates, and/or manifests that are effectively dead code that isn't referenced from anywhere.
[17:14:57] <bblack>	 (while you're at it, solve the halting problem too of course)
[17:17:42] <Emperor>	 :)
[17:22:25] <rzl>	 tbh if the halting problem isn't trivial on any of our Puppet, we should refactor it until it is
[17:23:45] <volans>	 I had suggested to just use the motd of the inactive deploy host :-P 
[19:37:11] <apergos>	 rats I had hoped the patch above was already deployed, hopped onto cumin1001 and ... boring :-P 
[20:03:49] <bblack>	 apergos: it's live now :)
[20:09:25] * apergos dashes over to check it
[20:09:44] <apergos>	 wow, definitely eye-catching!
[20:11:51] <apergos>	 the deployment hosts manage with a humongous banner which I'm sure you remember...
[22:05:11] <volans>	 bblack: the typo was an intended pun? :-P
[22:44:01] <bblack>	 volans: ?
[22:44:21] <bblack>	 oh I see it now, cookcooks.
[22:44:28] <bblack>	 I didn't write that, I just injected the ANSI bits :)
[22:45:05] <volans>	 :D
