Can anyone recommend PositiveSSL? I made the purchase, so I'll share my experience in a month or so when I've got some use out of it kellytk: how much was it and was it a wildcard cert? be sure to test your site once the cert has been installed: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html It was ~$3 for the first year. Thank you for the link mnathani_ Would it be appropriate to use DNS for pointing foo.net to foo.com? The alternative is an HTTP redirect kellytk: try h2o web server it's got http/2 support I'm familiar with nginx, however h20 is quite interesting. I read your discussion about it the other night. Have you tried it yet mercutio? yes. Initial impressions? http/2 isn't really any faster than http slightly slower even :/ but it's http performance is nice, and http/2 is fine speed That didn't surprise me unfortunately i don't use ssl normally. but usually https is a bit slower than http It'll be interesting to find out if this CA offers h2o support CA? PositiveSSL you just use your normal cert they're all the same :/ I was looking at the set up page, and it offered a drop down with various webservers in it. Do you know what was being communicated with that? yeah it's just whether it has separate file for chain etc just stick the chain file in the same file as the cert, and stick the key in separate file and you're sweet there's no ubuntu package yet though :( http://www.freshports.org/www/h2o/ What's most attractive to me about h2o is that it's suitable as a static library, which will come in handy even if I don't run it on the server mercutio: http://www.it-wars.com/web-performance-H2O-vs-nginx/ It's too bad there isn't a freenode channel for it & https://calomel.org/h2o.html Built-in support for libressl which I like mercutio: Are you familiar with http://cherokee-project.com/ and https://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/? nope Interesting as well 5.0.x is poor for battery, 5.1.x is considerably better - but kitkat had the best life on the same device i still prefer my gingerbread phone.. it's the only one that doesn't bugger up all of the time 4 days battery life, a week if i dont get too many calls or texts zte blade ii - the nokia 1100 of smartphones there's nokia 3310s on ebay for $25 US incl shipping free intl shipping they're from china only problem i have with this zte in fact, it's wireless is bg and i disabled legacy a while ago - had to run a seperate AP for it (use it as a VoIP phone) 5 years ive had that thing.. not a single bloody issue (other than now very few google apps run on it) Keyyo still works thank goodness 3310s, they the ones with the zapper on the top? ahh no, the next one up from the 5110 those things could manage a 10 min call when the battery has been bleeping feed me for hours my phone got down to 11% charge today i think i'm more concerned about my battery running flat than i used to be, and it's easier for it to get flast i kind of wish they'd just shift to two batteries so you can charge one battery and use the other and have hot swappable or something carry a battery pack with you i play Ingress an awful lot and can get about 3/4 hours of constant use before charge phone will normally live about 2 days from normal use well, a day and a half at a push to be totally honest http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12000mAh-Portable-External-Power-Bank-USB-Pack-Battery-Charger-For-IPhone-Mobile-/191306698835?hash=item2c8ac49053 missus and i got one of they each benefit of 1A and 2A output Can anyone recommend a good quality small UPS to keep a Mac mini running for long enough to gracefully shut down? but i do have a couple of APC BE400's that are good for low power/gracefuls quite cheap too grody: I have an Orange San Francisco branded ZTE Blade (not a II). It's my backup phone now and gets good battery life: https://www.flickr.com/photos/plett/8397524721/ plett, yea, you can softmod them to the gen2 one i have :) ahh, blade I gen1 and gen2 sorry, not blade ii Ahh, yes. Mine is already a gen2 blade I (it /slightly/ improves wifi reliability) With the OLED screen nice i also have the zte kis3 - nice also, but those blades are pure awesome gotta ♥ these budget consumer companies - for the price you sure get your moneys worth oh ffs - im starting to hate my card company now yet again blocking overseas transactions Netsplits for all. Well, not all. Just 4 people it looks like 0 in another 100+ user channel for that matter :P yaeh actually some of these were more than once it was a "whole page" to me it's a big wall of text, but it spans 11 hours. Just been a quiet day in #arpnetworks SHHHH m0unds: MERCUTIO STARTED IT DON'T MAKE ME SIT YOU IN A CORNER, brycec but... I'm already sitting in a corner GOOD still smoky up there? Yup, though it just looks white/hazy. i'm only just starting to realise how bad china's air pollution is i thought it was just "pretty bad" but it sounds like it's really really really extreme like significant amounts of death from it etc yeah, it can kill people It's mind boggling and there i go being irate when the neighbours fireplace makes outside smell smokey. haha at least you won't get smoke year around i suppose my last city was more polluted, and i notice the difference here. but to really notice you have to leave the source... for contrast. https://www.facebook.com/KXLY4News/photos/a.239235182765429.59897.237861902902757/976811552341118/?type=1 if you're in it, it'll just seem normal Having lived in Phoenix, Arizona, and been to Los Angeles many times, the smog is very noticeable.' yuck yeah, LA's is pretty wacky LA is worse? LA has lots more vehicles and people ahh here winter's way way worse than summer a lot of pollution comes from fire places... according to der wikipedia, LA metro has 13 million people and PHX has 4.4m and so LA having warm weather i figure that wouldn't be the case. m0unds: isn't LA metro area huge though? sure is still 13 million people is a lot and high amount of car ownership actually yeah, main roads can have more pollution too i kind of wonder what they're considering the phx metro it depends how far it goes. because it says the city itself is 1341.48km2 mercutio: LA is nowhere near as bad as what I've seen from China. But it is pretty bad. but they say the metro is 37,725km2 averages can be hard to get realistic pollution numbers from too i know it sprawls a bit, but that seems goofy haha m0unds: I know what they're saying is metro, but I can't really put it into words :P But there are maps. like industrial areas tend to have higher pollution, but as long as you don't live by them.. PHX is *big* yeah, i know been there lots, it's sprawly as hell hmm urban area here is only 559.2 km2 37,725km2 seems a hell of al ot they don't list metro area they do list metro polution, but i live within urban boundaries anyway. lol, okay i see why it's so big just found a breakdown of what constitutes the metro oh, can't forget top-of-the-world, arizona hmm phoenix doesn't list urban area m0unds: link for the class? but even the city area is bigger than urban area here by far :/ ah crap, hang on http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=phoenix%2C+az+metro+area guess it helps if i hit enter the "cities" part includes 51 distinct towns and cities that make up the metro area wikipedia suggested that phoenix was made up of heaps of mini village / towns it's including stuff 75mi away within the metro, which seems odd yeah, it is well you both know the place and i don't but does it have a central city type area too? it's all city just mile after mile of it oh Like LA. yeh i never been there it's always around one wilshire on tv :/ i just noticed it one day haha but it always seems to be that general area This is what I'd consider to be the Phoenix area http://www.phxazpools.com/wp-content/uploads/phoenix-az-pools-about-us-page-phoenix-metro-service-area.jpg sadly, no scale on that Maybe http://85251scottsdale.com/images/Scottsdale%20metroMap.jpg is helpful yeah, that's what i would have thought - they're including stuff way off in each direction per census.gov stuff it's strange http://northphoenixazhomes.com/images/phoenix-metro-zipcode-zones-map-small.jpg is a bit cluttered but that's basically the metro area, and has a tiny scale http://www.maps4u.com/ 4me? lol i saw it said "wide world of maps" on that northphxazhomes thing that was the first link when i searched for it, haha dat SEO They did all the maps for Pizza Huts in AZ their old site with only partial functionality is referenced before their store stie site For the delivery drivers, there's a big map on the wall showing the delivery area, streets, etc ah worked at pizza hut for 3 months in high school guessi should go finish up in the garage Yes you should. Soon enough, Phoenix will be knocking at your door! http://www.arizona-leisure.com/gfx/maps/valley-sun-map-760.gif is the best map I've seen for the metro area, showing cities and scales. phoenix can have gallup and grants, nm if they want it google are doing a new router with gentoo linux wtf OnHub often updates its router software with newly released features without interrupting your connection. so the google stack probably sucks. but the hardware should be able to be repurposed it has 6x2.4ghz + 6x5ghz attennas, plus an aux err antenna hw oem is tp-link that's fine by me tp-links mostly have software issues these days they use cheap power supplies, but you can always find replacements it's atheros switch chip so probably atheros wireless which seems fine (says qca, but that's qualcomm atheros, i still consider it atheros, with some branding stuck on top) right will have to see if you can root them when they come out i suppose Ew, nobody wants Gallup. 16:59:07 m0unds | phoenix can have gallup and grants, nm if they want it fwiw, I haven't found an authoritative source on their use of Gentoo Just some Phoronix post without any references. ahh yeh phoronix was my source Consider everything you've ever said now discredited :P well at least it has nand And NOR. :P As a side note, OnHub is using the same SOC as the Netgear R7500. ahh is the 7500 good? i'd like faster cpus in routers so that they can do gigabit easily with tcp interception (I have no idea, already closed the tab :P) 802.15.4 in a home router. me want hardware nat shouldn't be necessary for gigabit gizmoguy: there are already home routers with Zigbee in them :P but why not brycec: go on? @google Almond+ 4,110 total results returned for 'Almond+', here's 3 Almond+ (http://www.securifi.com/almondplus) It is more than a router.

Haven't had slow DNS propagation in aaages... maybe it was rock star programmers. brogrammers haha i still find it weird when you have some programmer that's really hard to work with in programming, but fine socially (That took like 20 minutes! #FirstWorldProblems) programming brings out so many quirks/ideologies brycec: yeh i usually only see slow dns if shifting authorative name servers some people still set dns records to 86400 for domain names but most people seem to go with 3600/10800 I know I do. but if I'm moving, I'll drop it all to 300 or similar a week before :P and non-significant amounts go for shorter. set ur ttls to 0 brycec: if i'm shifting i'll set it to 30 or 60 :) gizmoguy: what does that do? that's what a rockstar sysadmin would do no caching i doubt it'd do no caching might make some things cache it forever :) shall we try it mercutio: depends if I have to work through someone's GUI :P (what the minimum TTL I can set is) brycec: yeah cloudflare don't go lower than 1800 i think cloudflare doesn't let you set ttls do they? oh But this is specifically registration of a domain, not moving. So I have/had to way for *.nic.xyz to receive brycec.xyz i thought they defaulted to 5 mins or something maybe auto sets it to 180 err 1800 m0unds: 5 minutes sounds preferable :) that's 30 minutes dig notcached.wand.nz +short it looks up in 0 msec err 4 msec i'm awtching tcpdump to see how many queries I get this is difficult i'll tcpdump my out yip nothing going out so dnsmasq is caching it oh hangon i was missing a d unbound seems to cache it too i get 5 minute ttl linode tut tut ns2.wand.net.nz is on linode ok cloudflare lets you set 2 minutes for ttl tut tut? well it's at fremont he.net which is kind of unstable oh, only if you don't use their cdn if you're just using them for dns you can configure ttl m0unds: i'm using their cdn i just have other records too i have test.weallsee.net right, i meant per-record if i try to set the ttl for a record on the cdn, it says it's managed by them oh right yeeah if i set it on a record that isn't on cdn (mx or whatever) it lets me i see 5 minutes normally cloudflare's ui has changed yea, that's what i got when i queried mercutio: it's just a linode VM gizmoguy: did that sdn switch get enough funding? yip i've got one on the way sweet which one was it? m0unds: 100 megabit which sdn switch, sorry mfgr or project or whatever some cheap one, gizmo probably has link around https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/northboundnetworks/zodiac-fx-the-worlds-smallest-openflow-sdn-switch was it this one? google found it wow it was close it's the 100 megabit thing that irks me most neat but with successful 100 megabit maybe they'll do gigabit he has plans for a gig model Yep, it's covered by the FAQ. tl;dr keeping it cheap. i wonder if this 2.5 gigabit ethernet has made any progress yet 1.9 gbit 802.11ac is probably close to gigabit's limit can probably max out gigabit ethernet actually if it's decent damnit, 1.9 is hard to search for with will all these broadcom routers that do 600 megabit 2.4 anyone have experience with these data centers in Frankfurt: Telehouse, Zenium, Interxion woot :) http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1160068 maybe information on there although people seem to be recommending hetzner on there and one guy suggests first-colo
