time for the bi-weekly removal of things that show up in "pkg audit"
and updating 9.3-p13 to 9.3-p24
oooh... probably gonna be rebooting...
oh, this one didn't need that!
except I'll reboot after my ports are reinstalled
so... switching to adium irc to stay here.
here we are.
here goes the reboot...
ping stop
waiting for ping to return
ping return!  good sign
kernel + conf working
ssh working.  whew.
web not up yet
ahh… some Perl modules need help
no… it's the mod_proxy thing… ugh
reconfiguring my apache to be built with mod_proxy

YouTube video: "Tommy Seebach Apache HQ (Original)" by cory2146
mod_proxy apparently went from default yes to default no
rebuilt apache… still waiting on mod_perl and Apache::DBI
oh darn… wants mod_proxy_ftp too
everything all good!
ok, back to irc.el
tons of norcal smoke hitting nm the last couple days. yuck.
the oregon weather forecasts for many major cities are reporting smoke as well.
yea, my friend up in WA was saying stuff looked "orange"
southern WA
reduced our visibility to less than a mile
not quite as bad as the smoke from eastern AZ a couple years back, but it's gross
m0unds: Me? Or different friend? :P
But I can confirm that right now, I can barely see 3 miles through the smoke.
Yesterday was totally clear!
Day before, <1mi, everything orange, etc
Oh and we hit "purple" on the air quality scale
(green -> yellow -> red -> purple -> black)
approacing beijing's air quality? :)
brycec: another friend :)
vancouver guy, couldn't see the road from his house yesterday but i guess it cleared up a little today
mercutio: approaching...
yes
i'll cut you a sweet deal on some respirators
it was glaring out at me, but i thought it'd be worse to fix it :)
that was my solution with smoggy nights in my old city
makes my eyes sting
it was only really night that was insane though
and it was in winter when winter is cold anyway
but i assume it's all day there
Luckily enough, it gets quite breezy overnight and blows it away, then it slowly returns starting mid-morning
yeah, we had lots of wind yesterday that kept it from settling but it was calm and overcast this morning so it just hung out til around 1500
so early morning outtings are the best
hoping this cold front adjusts so colorado can get some of the smoke, it's annoying
brycec just has to live with it :P
heh
that stuff can sneak up on you
i bet if you had a holiday somewhere else, then came back you'd be much more bothered by it
http://1drv.ms/1EcUDou my buddy shot this from eastern abq looking SW when we were getting smoke from arizona in 2011
I just have to step outside for it to hit me
sucks
brycec: did you ever struggle with smokeping and polling times taking more than 60 seconds?
"struggle" is a strong word...
I've dealt with it, yeah.
i have one host that seems to be MUCH slower
and it doesn't seem to be DNS related.
How odd, since that is suggestion #1 ;)
ikr
(use IP's, don't use hostnames)
i thought it was probably dns related, when it takes a bit over a minute for the fping command and it's more like 23 seconds on other hosts.
but i dumped port 53
it's got a local dns cache, and i bumped min ttl up to 180
thinking that'd probably fix it.
made close to zero difference :(
Still worth swapping out hostnames with IP's
But other than that... I dunno
Especially considering other hosts can do it
i've been working on making fping have higher ping accuracy
and i have exactly the same fping binary in two locations
You could also reduce the number of hosts it has to monitor.
yeah that's the next thing i've just done
i took out some stuff that wasnt' respon
err what
not that it addresses the cause, but gets that node back in-line at least.
i took out some stuff that wasn't responding but ps captured it stlil hitting them
lol if ps still shows it, then you've done something wrong :P
(eg not restarted things)
yeah i had done a restart, maybe i didn't take out as much as it hoguht i did
it looks like icmp host unreachables could be making it worse
running in non quiet mode it seems to block on them
: FPing: NOTE: smokeping took 52 seconds to complete 1 round of polling. This is over 80%% of the max time available for a polling cycl
woot
oh wow
somehow it ran smokeping twice at once
so maybe that was the central issue
so if i ping every 500 msec instead of every 1000 msec it's 9x as fast
so it must be some weird timing thing
