again mercutio, sorry - got caught up with stuff and cant scroll back enough.. last i see is you're still being curious about the dedi question i think he found something in the end cool i didn't realise just how many bad options there were :) he moved out to Aus and wanted something reliable ahh why do some employers assume because you can master their billing/order system, you must be a guru australia has better data centre selection than new zealand aye, i think cost was an issue too :P that brings down cost. colo prices are high here even before bandwidth etc. hardware is a bit expensive too but it's the colo prices that make everything kind of insane oh wait, Auckland not Aus yeah i'm in auckland not australia did you think i was in australia nah i knew you were NZ why i asked yeah rendrag may do dedicated in australia if the guy is still looking think he found something eventually appears to be routing via vocus i suspect thats Aus though vocus eww :/ is it via japan for you? serversaustralia do vocus i think NYC, ASH, LAX, lax.ca, sydney heh tracing to rendrag's domain routes via vocus yea, it terminates in Aus hah it's like 320 msec via US both directions, and 360+ routing via asia lax.ca & sjc.ca 305 for me yeh the other direction may go via asia if it's high ping yeah that's probably US direct. and the cheaper cables. somehow i'm getting 255 msec ping to uk now i bet it's not that bad from ARP.. was doing it from UK yeah cut 160 off it probably maybe 140 crap.. jail isn't allowing raw sockets, or bloody --udp what the hell! heh security? udp is curious though default setting ping is kind of insecure aye, wont allow creating non TCP/UDP (even icmp as 'root' i can change it, thought i had yea, ICMP is kinda funny for trojans etc. always makes me paranoid, especially since i generally allow inbound pings well it's more that every process has to listen for icmp at once so you get everyone elses responses and decide which ones you want hmm serversaustralia isn't cheap either under my desk is free if you want to colo stuff near AU got pretty good Vocus peering Wow, so generous! yeah and I only cost a beer a week! I thought you said "free" ;P heh an ipa beer a week? so how big is your desk gizmo :) it's quite large well so large I have 2 desks in my office heh http://bulletin.brynmawr.edu/files/2011/05/682px-VAX-11-750.jpg send him something like taht :/ i can't find anything large on trademe :/ did find this cheap though http://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/servers/servers/auction-943118844.htm I have two super-ancient Compaq blade chassis I could haul in here and host a VPS service on p3 800mhz CPUs 12 blades per machine haha any buyers? your poor ears WHAAAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU, mercutio I have headphones heh do you have gigabit internet? yip maybe you should start hosting then :) I have 10gig too cool can you do 10 gigabit to the US? for selected routes internet2 routes? yeah How's powe? *power? probably better than power at my home :/ runs straight to a substation they're what go wrong! I was getting at backup battery/generator, not amount of power available we've had a few micro-blips recently though car smashed into a powerpole which took out 4 streets that's pretty impressive and that meant the substation dropped a few cycles for whatever reason here it'd take out multiple suburbs :) WEL networks have a pretty good setup I don't understand their setup but it works the 4 streets weren't next to each other yeah it's kind of disturbing when you realise the substation is 10+km away and that everywhere between you and there is out not that i ever had high expectations for auckland power :) with led lights you can't see blips right? Depends. But LED lights are already blipping because they're driven by PWM (well, they're modulated by PWM) ahh i haven't noticed Exactly some monitors pwm is quite noticable You're not supposed to notice ;P especially when you dim then them hello Hello hello my name is too long :( gizmoguy: You just need a better IRC client - weechat lines up all messages (rather than by nick) :O I have been considering switching away from irssi for a while now... No better reason than "it makes you look fat" :) did you register gizmoguy yet? I think I did cool i wonder how many less ddos's efnet would have had if they had services
