up_the_irons: obsidieth: haha, awesome
obsidieth: yeah im really suprised, no shell i have ever had has let me do that
up_the_irons: RAD
obsidieth: show me your v4 reverse DNS setup (pastie) when you get a chance, I'll write a Knowledge Base article on how to set up sub-class C delegations
Qsource: you PM'd?
obsidieth: ok, will do
theres a possibility that my setup is a super bad example
but ill shw you what ive got
up_the_irons: obsidieth: I'll clean it up ;)

<sniff> i remember when u were little
;)
ballen: heh
and back to normal wasn't the rc script it nginx was listening just on ipv6
i swear it was working before
up_the_irons: ballen: i thought nginx didn't support ipv6? guess it's new
ballen: yea supports it fine
listen [::]:80
you may have to build it with the option though
i know in freebsd ports it will give you the option

up_the_irons: cablehead: sweet; i don't know Joel, but I sent him a peering request. If he denies it, now I can have you slap him ;)
cablehead: up_the_irons: haha
up_the_irons: he seems like a crazy smart guy
up_the_irons: cablehead: cool
cablehead: up_the_irons: if a mention a request from Garry Dolley, will he know what I'm talking about?
up_the_irons: cablehead: yeah probably
cablehead: does this show for you, or is it private: http://www.peeringdb.com/view.php?asn=13949
cablehead: up_the_irons: i can see that
up_the_irons: cablehead: cool, that's where i got his contact info
cablehead: up_the_irons: will you gain much peering with slide?
up_the_irons: cablehead: probably not, given ARP and Slide are both content networks mostly, but it helps build out the network some; The DigiSynd office gets bandwidth from me, so anyone in the office seeing Slide content could reach it directly at that point. a little gain
cablehead: up_the_irons: pretty sure slide have peering with facebook, but ARP wouldn't get that eh?, by peering with slide .. my network knowledge is feeble
up_the_irons: cablehead: right, I wouldn't get that. peering usually means you get routes only of the peer network, not anyone else's. I already have peering with Facebook though, so that's covered :)
cablehead: up_the_irons: oh nice :)
up_the_irons: cablehead: yeah, FB is pretty easy going about it

forcefollow: hello
ballen: hello
forcefollow: how long does it generally take to get a vps setup?
ballen: umm depends when up_the_irons is around
day max
forcefollow: one other question, i was planning on getting an openbsd one to toy around with, if i screw it up and need it reloaded is that going to be an issue?
ballen: shouldn't be, again not my company. I'm just a customer
-: forcefollow nods
forcefollow: you like the service?
ballen: Garry (up_the_irons) can simply recreate it
yea like it quite a bit
forcefollow: ive been using slicehost but im wanting to move away from linux
ballen: yep I made the same move
this is def a smaller company
forcefollow: thats cool, i actually like that
ballen: and Garry is the only guy running the place.
but he seems quite smart
and works long after hours to get things done if needed
forcefollow: i know how that is, im a small business owner also
ballen: performance is good, I had a 256 slice with Arch on it
at Slicehost
I havea 768 vps FreeBSD here
quite a bit faster
forcefollow: i can barely run what i need with 512
ballen: yea
we were hitting 256 pretty hrad
hard*
forcefollow: i bet that was swapping like crazy
ballen: yea a little
we slimmed everything down a lot
forcefollow: my dev server only had 256 for awhile and it was swapping a lot
ballen: have you used OpenBSD or FreeBSD much?
forcefollow: i used to use freebsd quite a bit back around 4.x
and i just started playing with openbsd last weekend
ballen: ah, I prefer Free over Open
unless you're making a router
forcefollow: i cant decide which i want
ballen: i'd say for dev work Free is nicer
forcefollow: yeah you're probably right
i wonder if he is planning on offering openbsd 4.5 soon
ballen: if you'd like send an email over to garry at gdolley at arpnetworks.com
he's running QEMU based VM's
so if you can upgrade OpenBSD inside the VM it should work fine
assuming theres not issues with 4.5 on QEMU
forcefollow: looks like you can
ballen: cool, alright I'm taking off, Garry hangs out around this room a lot
she either hand out, or email him
so*
hang*

-: up_the_irons is in da house
up_the_irons: ballen: thanks for helping forcefollow in my absense :)
ballen: no prob
up_the_irons: forcefollow: OpenBSD 4.5 isn't on the list b/c when I tried installing it I got a kernel panic
forcefollow: A new KVM/QEMU was installed yesterday, so maybe I should try again...
either way, it'd require some testing; I don't like to sell something that "worked once when I tried it", preferring some real abuse ;)
ballen: up_the_irons: have you tried FreeBSD 8 Beta 3
up_the_irons: ballen: not yet
ballen: be interesting if it has any issues
up_the_irons: forcefollow: I have a production OpenBSD 4.4 amd64 VM running and it has been rock solid; so I know 4.4 works quite well
ballen: I've been running beta 2 on a few machines and its been quite stable
up_the_irons: been running for several months now
ballen: ah cool
ballen: in vmware not qemu though
up_the_irons: yeah
the wife beckons, I'll bbl
ballen: kk
forcefollow: forcefollow: cool
err
up_the_irons: cool
ballen: up_the_irons: http://sysadminschronicles.com/past/2009/8/26/freebsd_ipv6_over_openvpn
forcefollow: ill just stick with that one then, btw i placed an order under my gf's name (the card is in her name)
ballen: getting the GF to pay for the VPS nice ;-)
forcefollow: lol its my money in her bank account
ballen: hmm
that's likely worse
but I suppose I do that same, joint account though
forcefollow: we've been together for 5 years, i trust her
ballen: thats good
***: ballen is now known as ballen|away
up_the_irons: ballen|away: nice writeup!
forcefollow: up_the_irons: did you get my order?
no rush, just asking
up_the_irons: forcefollow: yup!
It's In There(tm)
forcefollow: cool
up_the_irons: :)
forcefollow: so you do all this by yourself?
up_the_irons: forcefollow: how'd you find out about my VPS services BTW?
forcefollow: google openbsd vps
up_the_irons: forcefollow: yup, by myself pretty much
ah.. that WHT thread i bet
forcefollow: yup
you should do some SEO on your site, cause there arent many places that offer openbsd vps
i bet you could get your page rank quite a bit
*up
up_the_irons: forcefollow: yeah, I don't know how to start on that kinda stuff. I've just started some stuff with freebsdvps.com (one of my domains), and in a week I got it on the first page google results for "freebsd vps" (albeit on the bottom)
forcefollow: BTW, for more about the company and me, I've explained it here: http://irclogger.arpnetworks.com/irclogger_log/arpnetworks?date=2009-08-12,Wed&sel=50#l46
i'm really glad I decided to log this room... ;)
forcefollow: having an irc channel was one of the reasons i decided to try it out
up_the_irons: awesome, I was hoping it'd have that effect as well ;)
but ya know, regarding OpenBSD, I don't know how much of a market there is for it. I love it for my routers, but I don't get many requests for it as a VM. FreeBSD trumps there of course. And Linux beats FreeBSD in market, but since I don't push my Linux VMs much, I get more FreeBSD orders
forcefollow: i might get you to change me over to freebsd, i have a lot more experience with it but lately ive been trying some new stuff
im really bored with what i know right now (php/linux/etc etc)
up_the_irons: haha
yeah
forcefollow: but if all goes well i might move my work stuff over also
we currently have 3 servers with slicehost
up_the_irons: that'd be great :)
forcefollow: what distro do you use at slicehost?
forcefollow: fedora
up_the_irons: ugh, that's one I don't do (I never had a Red Hat based distro not get hacked _eventually_)
forcefollow: yeah thats why i was looking into *bsd, security
there was a remote bind exploit about a month ago and it scared me
up_the_irons: i've been upgrading my kernels like mad b/c of recent Linux exploits
forcefollow: lame isnt it?
up_the_irons: yeah
not that FreeBSD is all that much better. Stock 7.1 had a local priv escalation to root bug
forcefollow: eek
up_the_irons: everything has bugs
;)
forcefollow: i havent used freebsd since about 4.x
indeed, i had to fix a few today in my own code
up_the_irons: My first sys admin job was working with FreeBSD 1.x boxes ;)
I remember when I upgraded them to 2
forcefollow: wow
old school =)
up_the_irons: haha yeah
forcefollow: im thinking about trying out lighttpd too
up_the_irons: ah, i've used that some in the past
works pretty good, pretty fast
forcefollow: im also getting interested in python and maybe scala (it looks neat)
up_the_irons: i know a lot of python guys
forcefollow: i spent a couple weeks playing with it and when i had to go back to php i missed it
up_the_irons: the most I ever did with Python was getting the [FBI] bot (irclogger) to talk SSL
yeah, php is my last choice of a language
i used to do it a lot, but no longer, there are way better ways to make web apps these days
forcefollow: what do you preferr now?
up_the_irons: Rails and Sinatra
forcefollow: ahh im a big zend framework fan
up_the_irons: ah
bigs: did u guys actually compile a new kernel on your VM?
forcefollow: django is sexy for doing quick CRUD
up_the_irons: never worked with django
obsidieth: :p
yeah limited length nicks.
