BryceBot: Gist: "Abusing Nginx Configuration To Serve And Redirect Multiple Subdomains Under a Variable Domain" brycec: Wow, 8 hits from IrssiUrlLog
4 of them from ipv6 - kudos mercutio: that sounds nifty brycec: thx
I'm currently replacing speedtest.net's 5 lines of PHP with another nginx block. Going to optimize the dickens out of this. mercutio: hahaha
their upload test sucks
i really wish could easily do a speedtest not using flash
but i suspect upload may be hard
actually maybe you can do POST request with javascript created data or something? brycec: there is an html5 speed test out there
speedof.me
(google says there are others too, but that's the one I've used in the past) mercutio: is it any good?
it's not open soruce is it? brycec: Seemed good, yeah. Don't think it's open-source or available for self-running mercutio: yeah this seems nice.
although it seems to be overestimating my upload speed
uload speed says 10.86 megabit, max upload 22.64
but my connection has 10 megabit vdsl sync, so can't do 10 megabit even after overhead. brycec: I like their graphs and that it downloads larger and larger files until it's "happy" it has a good average. mercutio: yeah it also hilights nicely small vs large files brycec: Really? Mine's pretty close to spot-on for the upload @ 13mbps mercutio: and ramp up speed etc
what i don't like is it's testing to sydney which is too close brycec: (I have 10-15 up, don't remember) mercutio: i like to test more distant locations to measure speed.
it might be because i usue a local proxy
so it leaves the computer pretty quick brycec: I can see how that would skew things :p mercutio: if it's client that says the speed rather than server
buut yeajh, something like this but open soruce would be great :)
definitely the right path.
the last stuff i saw that was html was crap grody: mercutio, IPv4/48 are sub-addressable IPs - the smaller they appear to be, the larger they actually are mercutio: grody: what grody: seem to have /something/ working here now.. have US and UK working into the backed server
23:42 < mercutio> what would a v4 /48 even be mercutio: what's a sub addressab IP? grody: sorry. unsubtle physics moment
like a sub atomic particle mercutio: ahh ok i don't know that stufuf
i've been wanting to do multiple location stuff since i was a kid
with accelerating from closer to the user
i wanted to do it before i had the internet with bbs's :) grody: hehe neat mercutio: haven't done much though heh :/
i was thinking that things ilke input fields and stuff should be accelerated.
and done locally grody: i doubt this is accelerating per-se mercutio: yeah but you could :) grody: it's more redundancy.. albeit there is still a SPOF mercutio: even just using redir command and doing layer 7 redirection accelerates performance
yaeh
are you doing ospf or something within your vpn's? grody: atm no.. it's all static (which I need to fix) mercutio: the problem with a network over a network is failover times can still suck
so you need to do bfd or such
well if you want to create a "more reliable network" grody: hm
i have the servers in a VLAN, which are interconnected via a L2TP LNS (via their respective LACs) and using HAProxy on the internet facing mercutio: i suppose that could work grody: did try simple forwards, but had the issue of the server replying out of the wrong route mercutio: the thing is most outages these days are really short
it's usually ddos with rapid mitigation
so frequent short outages to some of the net is the common issue grody: i have to be grateful for one thing so far.. and touching wood here, i have yet never been dDoSsed massively mercutio: so you need a really frequent heart beat to do better than it grody: yea, L2TP isn't the best VPN type to use due to it being a session mercutio: i have but it was a very long time ago grody: will be an IPSEC/GRE eventually mercutio: it's cos i logged into efnet grody: L2TPv3 would be nice mind mercutio: and someone wanted my nick grody: hah mercutio: yeh efnet is a jungle
i can see why some providers used to say that efnet irc wasn't allowed in particular :)
they really need bots. grody: i used to get "attacked" a lot from Quakenet mercutio: i dunno if efnet is even still going. grody: port scans, ping o death attempts, IGMP frag attacks etc mercutio: back when the internet was new you used to be able to ctcp ping +++ATH0 sequence or just put it in a normal icmp ping
and it'd disconnect users that received it. grody: hahaha yea i remember that mercutio: it didn't work with people with usr etc modem.
but it worked on cheap dynalinks etc. grody: was mitigatable using relevent S0=0 (and similar) AT commands modem init mercutio: because they didn't want to pay the fee for the delay
ahh ok i didn't know that.
i thought it was amusing
i don't think all these high bandwidth ddos's these days are though grody: i used to get it a lot, then bought a rockwell modem that appeared to specifically address it mercutio: with windows 95 you used to be able to arp flood local machines and lock them up too. grody: win98 used to send IGMP fragments and it'd BSOD mercutio: i assume it operated at a high precedence and wasn't very efficient. grody: sounds like wifi of today.. push some multicast packets over the air and boom
it slows to a crawl mercutio: even just using wifi normally can slow it to a crawl.
there's no protection from one user stealing all the bandwidth normally grody: think i only use wifi now on things that have no choice for it mercutio: there's a bit of protectio on the ubiquity etc gear i think. grody: i do have a lot of RTP flowing through my net and that reaps havock too
aye, ubi are epic mercutio: they'd doing fq_codel
it's good that's starting to catch on. grody: ooh mercutio: unifi uap-ac sucks btw. grody: i have a couple of the bullets, a 2.4 and a 5
for the most part, i seem to get full wifi performance (until my own wireless G joins)
that thing kills most wifis
would upgrade that device, but it is the most reliable VoIP phone i have
aight, i managed to not break anything in that round of mods - i bet you by the time i get to my next destination, something barfs ***: Alex82 has joined #arpnetworks Alex82: hi phlux: hi brycec: hi staticsafe: hi ***: Alex82 has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) grody: nk
d'oh
typing in the dark again and i have no idea why i havent turned my lamp on
"how did you setup pfsense on a VPS with only an internet facing network adaptor"
ur, well, thats easy.. i remove default route via the VNC access, static route to my trusted IP.. set it up via web browser

damn you BryceBot
hi BryceBot: hi up_the_irons: YES
i started it brycec: Didn't Alex82 start it 8 hours ago?
(before grody messed it up) m0unds: haha mercutio: heya RandalSchwartz: ... http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/05/29/california_s_snowpack_now_zero_percent_of_normal_a_worst_case_scenario_for.html
still waiting for the day when the hotel tells me I can shower only every other day m0unds: heh
CA lived in denial for a loooong time wrt water and stuff mercutio: From what I understand a lot if people in CA water their gardens too much - but that pales in comparison to agricultural use of water. m0unds: right mercutio: And a lot of the agricultural water use should just be moved to better suited locations. m0unds: and it's all early 20th century style open channel irrigation
totally irresponsible and stupid RandalSchwartz: they're also trying to water a desert m0unds: and they let it go on forever, and now it's like "oh shit, we don't have water"
RandalSchwartz: right
i live in the desert, but the water use in my city is roughly 1/3 of the per capita use in LA area mercutio: per-capita is the wrong way to look at things. m0unds: it's to the point that people here conserve enough water that the utility authority has trouble paying for stuff because their revenue is down year after year RandalSchwartz: my SSD-based freebsd 10 box on DigitalOcean reboots *so* fast. mercutio: SSD's do seem to help reboot performance a bit. RandalSchwartz: ping fail time about 10 seconds. :) mercutio: But IME it's not actually as much difference as you'd think it would be. There are a lot of contributing factors.
ARP has an in built delay in the BIOS so people can hit with VNC easier. RandalSchwartz: true mercutio: I'd like that toggleable myself :)
but at the end of the day i hardly ever reboot.
And it definitely is annoying catching console with VNC..
It'd be a lot easier if VNC would let you connect before it started booting.
But if you do a force restart you have to wait until mid way through, then connect. brycec: heh, yeah... If ARP could start kvm suspended and wait for you to attach to the monitor to resume...
But in the end, extending the boot delay is probably easier for most users. mercutio: did you see alternative bios for kvm?
it's meant to speed up boot time a lot, but can only boot linux afaik brycec: Heard about it, yeah mercutio: it has no vga console even i think brycec: Yeah I think the kernel parameters are hardcoded. mercutio: but i suspect it should be possible to get down to < 200 msec boot times if you did magic with initialisation
and basically did copy on write from a pre loaded kernel
it should be possible doesn't mean easy
you still have things like disk, startup scripts etc.
i suspect that some minor things should be able to be taken out of seabios, like floppy support, ..
and to get some improvement without all the complications
there were heaps of ideas going around to improve linux boot times before ssd's became common
with doing things like figuring out what disk blocks would be needed etc.
changing init handlers of device drivers, doing async init etc.
but somewhere along the line, it now seems things haven't really got any faster recently ***: qbit has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
