i still use USB drives to transfer large quantities of data What about station wagons full of USB drives? fastest link i have is 200mbps.. and thats just two switches being trunked Think of the bandwidth... usb 3.1 is coming out i say i dont transfer lots of data over my lan, media server and general whoringbox has sent 1.9TB and received 960GB in 30 days heh time for gige :/ but then again that thing gets hit up like a bint ya it has the card, but im such a cheap ass i cant find a decent gige switch for under £100 i mean, there are some under that price, but they suck even my archaid allied telesyn commtrend puts some of them to shame (for features) archaic* on a plus note, i found why my lappie goes nuts booting uefi aware *nix - any resolutions other than gfxmode text or 1024x768 dont work, and most are using 640x480 :/ woohoo, done with the morning workout and getting ready routine in time to watch some Seinfeld! Got up a 0345 to get a head start ooh that reminds me, nearly gym-o-clock I was getting my sweat on at 0400 I love doing it first thing in the morning to get it out of the way heheh, i normally hit my gym at 2am plus nobody aboutt Although, I'm examining a vessel today, and my shoulders feel like jelly atm true that Right now I'm trying Sean T's T25 program I had a lot of success with P90X a few years ago, so I want to see what T25 is all about If I don't get what I want, I'll go back to being a 4AM gym rat No time for Seinfeld if I do that, though! :( i dont really do much else than a light cardio and general weights i dunno why phlux woudl want to get up so early not aiming to do much other than keep a breath and minimmize the old ale belly grody: aye, I have to stay in some sort of shape for my job. Weigh-ins and PT tests and whatnot ooh joy mercutio, i hate daytime hours - i always try and get work that is at night why i ♥ americans so much 4am is best time of the day imo I tried the "just focus on cardio" bit, but I got to a point where I was smoking the mile and a half, but struggling on pullups and pushups Granted, I'm only required to do 1 pullup, but you look like a little manchild when all of the females in your group are busting out 10 and you only manage 1 haha That's grounds for endless ridicule in the .mil That's what she said!! lol there is this one chick who works out at 1am, not a lot to look at - but damn can she benchpress and run not a muscley type either, quite petite.. not someone to expect to benchpress 100kg w/o breaking a sweat i didn't know wether to cry or find another time to work out when i saw it lol I generally try not to compare myself to others, but I can't help it if I'm being completely showed up by a 120lb girl heh mercutio: Do you ever sleep?! yeh i sleep i'm in nz, so diff timezone :/ ooooooooooh That explains it then I thought you were American yeah if i was american i would be up late a lot :) I used to be a night crawler 4 hours of sleep before work but then we had a kid I sleep whenever the hell I can in the afternoons If I could sleep past 4AM, I would but I have to keep this body for up_the_irons else he'll ban me from #arpnetworks I hope he doesn't have beep highlights That's what she said!! Because it's like 2AM his time heh, he might be up but it's like 3 am now they had daylight saving shift. hmm I thought he was 3 hours behind me I must've been mistaken Never been out to the west coast they were 3 hours ahead of me I'm a gulf guy but now they're four. cos of daylight savings. i dunno if it started or stopped which is fucking stupid btw I hate the time change shit yeah it's annoying i will change to standard time soon i think yeah i'm changing "back" to standard time 5th april Only Americans would think that you can take one foot from the top of a blanket, attach it to the bottom, and think they have a longer blanket. Oh, and apparently New Zealand too yeah we have that annoying thing too i start getting up earlier in winter regardless as i always start getting up later in winter so i try to counterbalance ahead of time :) aye it's not so bad in this city where i used to live it would be colder in mornings y more by What sucks is I live about an hour from the city where I work and I'm off of this huge lake up here is that on peak of off peak hour? or When I go outside at my house, it's 10 degrees F colder than in the city Eh, takes me about 40 min off peak here higher places tend to be warmer but I have to plan to be 10F warmer in the city shade makes a huge diff to temp I think the issue here is I'm north of the lake So all of the wind coming off of the water hits us over here i just always plan to be cold tbh Whereas my base is west of the river it's esay to take off clothes it's hard to put more on if you don't have the YES and with jackets etc you can have them open Thank you My wife can not seem to grasp that concept heh sometimes you see a hot day here when it's been cold and all the girls walk around hardly dressed then afternoon comes and of course it's much colder :/ lol we went to downtown New Orleans about a month ago, and it was around 75 when we left She asked why I was bringing a jacket Because I *knew* it was going to get cold that evening She didn't believe me and froze heh no foresight! I carried around a jacket for an hour, then got to wear it. i used to not wear jackets when it was like 7c so that's like 45f but iw as younger :/] screw that that's bone chilling to me! it was pretty typcial warm winter evening wehre i used to live it's a common minimum here now i think in winter it is generally pretty warm here holy shit That's what she said!! I just learned something from Seinfeld Plato invented the PLATOnic relationship mind blown I have got to go get an external drive this weekend anyone have an nginx config for running smokeping they can share? phlux, to store terrible puns like that on? :p mnathani_: I have, but maybe it's slightly unconventional - reverse proxy to starman that runs smokeping as a PSGI app https://gist.github.com/dne/4d261fe4f9533a1f3701 Gist: "Nginx config for SmokePing (reverse proxy to Starman)" these blips on kvr03 are driving me a little nuts, sometimes long enough to trigger monitoring alerts, sometimes long enough to just disconnect any open sessions i have mnathani_: http://sprunge.us/BVIh mine too if you're interested. dne: thanks brycec: thanks brycec: what OS is your smokeping running on? Debian Wheezy (and my slaves are various others, but that's not relevant) I am attempting to get it working on centos 6 I don't imagine much difference I don't actually have a smokeping.cgi nginx v 1.6.2 Did you install smokeping from source or a package? from source nginx-1.0.15-11 phlux: yes, but Plato's platonic relationships were rather different from today's. I have /opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping_cgi I installed from package. Also I may have given you the wrong spawn-cgi, one sec... up_the_irons: is something up w/kvr03? packet loss has been occurring pretty regularly for a few days now (Well slightly different, but not appreciably different) not worth even men ha. wrong chat window (couldn't tell because packet loss) the other part of it went in the right window, haha brycec: did your smokeping package configure itself for use with nginx? centos 6 has a package, but configures itself to use apache Negative, I hand-configured it. but the cgi was in place mnathani_: centos makes smokeping harder (and there's just the one package on Debian, it's not broken into pieces) but anywy it's normal to use fastcgi ratehr than cgi which is why it's .cgi Running smokeping as bare CGI was sloooooooow because it has a really high startup overhead :/ brycec: it is right brycec: you tyhink for light use it shouldn't matter but i think it dns lookups every host or something The poller does, yes it adds a huge chunk of overhead not as good as smokeping for latency etc. but does a relatively good job modular too, so easy adding graphs for just about anything that outputs daya I run munin too. But it's a different tool for a different job :p munin auto restarts services that go down right? i have munin doing ICMP/TCP timing/graphing, but yea, nowhere near as featureful as smokeping Smokeping really shines when you have multiple slaves (on different networks/connections) monitoring hosts, as you can then see what's affected mnathani_: that's monit assuming you have monit configured to that :P munin is bloated too isn't it? That's what she said!! i wouldn't say it was overkill, sure isn't a hog it never even makes a dent in my resources munin-node is pretty dang lightweight but the graphing and alerting can be a hog (which is why smart people use the cgi graphing) cool the problem with smokeping is if you have dns lookups and internet failure you get blanks because it can't complete quick enough i haven't thought of any nice solution to it yet - fping also does the dns lookups - So don't use DNS lookups :P Just feed it IP's brycec: that's what i was doing. but for things like google it's better to use names. Unless you're tracking something that regularly changes IP's, there's no reason it'd be ok having stale ip's.. mercutio: I'd argue that you want to ping a fixed point. Using name, Google could start rerouting traffic to a different DC, over different transit, etc and it's not useful. brycec: but google do that for normal traffic the joys of CDNs mercutio: https://nzrs.net.nz/content/dnssec-validation-spark-nz yeah i saw they were implementing that i wonder if they're using unbound. that company used to refuse to use open source software they were using some weird commercial version of bind before i think they also took a long long time to split from combined recursive/authorative dns, and had problems taking old domains out of their dns so there were common problems with dns being wrong on them, but no-one else. i run unbound at home did you read about that on nznog? yeah they've been talking about a noc contact list for ages on there it doesn't seem to be going anywhere indeed my name is on there but not my phone number, so i don't mind i'm paranoid about having phone numbers on the internet it's scarier than email addresses. my phone number is in my ARIN POC record yeh you have to don't you since its a single proprietorship yeah as long as it goes to a work number that doesn't go directly to me i'm ok with it not a corp hmm yeah i have work phone numbers on my domains :) staticsafe: http://open.spotify.com/user/iso50/playlist/4IKS1mfouaWKxHmQMOa67O dunno if you use spotify and/or saw that already static: did you enable dnssec? mercutio: yeah almost all of my own domains are signed m0unds: yeah i use spotify a lot i'm using tinydns without even having tcp enabled :/ ew i thinking of switching to nsd good choice but tinydns works well and is easy i use BIND i've been using it for like 15 years :/ actually more like 13 years i use unbound for recursive needs and BIND for authoritative bind to nsd is meant to be easy unless you are dependent on BIND's auto DNSSEC signing magic :) That's what she said!! no BryceBot BryceBot: no Oh, okay... I'm sorry. 'unless you are dependent on BIND's auto DNSSEC signing magic :)' I highly recommend nsd It's light, it's simple, it Just Works And it's in base
