up_the_irons: obsidieth: I'm not a control panel person; CP's suck
obsidieth: i have never really used either
hows the vps coming anyway?
up_the_irons: obsidieth: I'm setting it up shortly. There's a 30 min maintenance window coming up at 1AM PST, so you'll get the VPS info after that
obsidieth: :D great

50% packet loss to google :(
up_the_irons: ouch
obsidiet1: its not even a real storm and the internets start exploding :3
up_the_irons: obsidiet1: what's the packet loss from?
obsidiet1: im not quite sure
i assume the isp has some issues somewhere
the power has been sort of flickery too
.au is third world in reguards to internet
up_the_irons: ouch

obsidieth: is named/bind with ipv6 tricky to set up?
im doing some reading, but i've never actually tried it before
up_the_irons: obsidieth: not really
although I'd recommend stay away from BIND
there's a new DoS or priv escalation exploit like every week
a good alternative is "unbound"
obsidieth: alright
up_the_irons: another one (been around longer) is tinydns
obsidieth: i thought bind was pretty much the standard?
up_the_irons: although tinydns has a pretty terse syntax, some ppl don't like it
bind is used quite heavily, but just like how sendmail was ubiquitous, its favor has dwindled due to security issues that pop up time and time again
obsidieth: looks like it might be a challenge heh
up_the_irons: obsidieth: I'm setting up your VM now, BTW
obsidieth: :D great
up_the_irons: obsidieth: I've sent the welcome email to bigs
bigs: check your mail when you wake up :)
obsidieth: gotcha.
is it possible for me to get the details or is that against policy
up_the_irons: obsidieth: against policy, I can only send things like root password to the person on the order
obsidieth: yeah i figured.
well thanks! i look forward to it
up_the_irons: no problem!
obsidieth: a couple questions
can you assign the ipv6 /48 separate namservers to the v4's, in theory
up_the_irons: obsidieth: yes
obsidieth: :)
up_the_irons: cd $bed
obsidieth: pz

whoa, cablehead!
cablehead: how'd you find this place? :)
cablehead: up_the_irons: you invited me! :)
up_the_irons: cablehead: oh yeah, ages ago ;)
cablehead: up_the_irons: haha, was it a couple of days ago?
i was out of town for the weekend
up_the_irons: cablehead: ah, where'd ya go?
cablehead: up_the_irons: just up north of san rose .. to get out of the city for a bit
up_the_irons: cablehead: ah nice
i've been there a few times
cablehead: something that's gonna come up at some point -- I'm moving away from Xen and going to K
whups
cablehead: KVM
cablehead: so one of these days I'd like to take your VM down and migrate it
cablehead: I'll then increase your RAM and disk space to match current pricing (768MB RAM, 20GB disk, 100GB bandwidth)
and get you an IPv6 block
cablehead: up_the_irons: oh wow, awesome
up_the_irons: still for the same price?
up_the_irons: cablehead: yup
cablehead: up_the_irons: that romps on slice host's pricing :)
up_the_irons: cablehead: yeah i beat 'em to death ;)
cablehead: up_the_irons: no worries .. let me know when you need to take it down for the migration
up_the_irons: cablehead: that's my $20 special right now, so if you know of anyone else who wants to take advantage of it, send 'em here: http://arpnetworks.com/vps
cablehead: ok, cool, i'll let you know when i'm ready for the migration
cablehead: up_the_irons: how long is the special going for?
up_the_irons: if it's limited, i'd be pretty tempted to grab a 2nd slice :)
up_the_irons: cablehead: LOL
cablehead: END'S TOMORROW ;)
j/k
cablehead: up_the_irons: haha
ah damn 'limit 1 per customer'
fair enough
up_the_irons: cablehead: I don't have any plans to stop the special, it is my best seller right now
cablehead: up_the_irons: haha, cheers man
up_the_irons: cablehead: :)
cablehead: i should really upgrade that slice to hoary one day
up_the_irons: cablehead: why not go to jaunty? i'm having good results w/ jaunty
cablehead: i like the idea of not upgrading again for a few more years :)
up_the_irons: ah, roger that
cablehead: but isn't Hardy the current LTS?
maybe you meant Hardy
cablehead: oh right
up_the_irons: yeah, hardy is what i meant
acronym fail
up_the_irons: cablehead: yeah, my managed VMs are all hardy, so I don't need to upgrade 'em for a while, just keep the patches going ;) for the more cutting edge stuff (like KVM), i need jaunty
cablehead: up_the_irons: gotcha
up_the_irons: so you are liking kvm over xen?
up_the_irons: cablehead: very much so, feels way more natural; networking is also set up much more nicely
cablehead: I can boot an install .ISO of pretty much anything, VNC into the console, and start the install; it's just as if it is a real box and I'm at the monitor / kb
cablehead: up_the_irons: nice
up_the_irons: cablehead: it's all Tv's fault really... making me try it ;)
cablehead: up_the_irons: hehe, oh that Tv ;)
up_the_irons: hehe
some dude ordered yesterday and I spent the time provisioning the VM, and they told me today "Oh I don't need this anymore, please cancel it"
W.T.F.
thanks for wasting my time
mhoran: Bah.
