got to be a better way to P2V FreeBSD then dump/restore
also Jail to VM
which dump does not work
use just tar for that
what's p2v
physical to virtual
moving hardware install to a vm
ahh
how's your vps
quite good
waiting for mine to activate
cool
i have so many servers but i wanted a VPS
yea basically the same deal, moved from Slicehost need something thats always on
lol
hah, meant for a comma in there
moved from Slicehost, ...
syminet: hey, so it's sept. 1st, did they tell you if your x-conn was done?  Like, do I need to go to the DC in the morning and plug in my side? :)
jeev: your welcome packet has been sent :)
I must say Debian 5.0 boots like a bat outta hell
super fast
noticeably faster than my Ubuntu VMs
ballen|away: bah, I commented on your lastest blog blog (IPv6 over OpenVPN) and I got no reply... ;)
whups
s/blog blog/blog post/
--tun-ipv6
i need to try that real soon
indeed, i might give it a shot
cd $sleep
tjamls
thanks, for thhe record, i only use slackware and freebsd but i guess debian will be fine now
Noted.
:>
the air is nasty today
again
debian is fantastic
i guess the thing i like is the ability to install things so fast
rather than slack, build it.. now they got packages
or freebsd, build it.. i hate binary packages but it's a VPS
heh, i prefer source
binary packages just sort of snuck in from linux
yea
OpenBSD has done binary packages for as long as I've run it.
freebsd does too i guess for certain ports
but i just dont like them
I like them and try to use them where I can.
meh
mixing and matching is asking for a dependency error sooner or later.
Yeah, that's the sucky part.
I wouldn't mind if FreeBSD ports were completely changed.
yea, see.. debian is cool with dependencies
indeed.
im excited to see a provider on freenode
hmm, i should've seen this coming
i signed up, got my vps.. and have nothingi to use it for
hahaha
i'm a single server or VPS's dream customer
i'll figure somethin out
well thats a new one
what you mean
i tend to have a lot of uses and no vps's
i have like 40 servers that i own
oh wait, point of this VPS was to put someone on it, someone's site.. keep away from my pr0n serving
is the arpnetworks maintenance account a requirement
 /msg up_the_irons eheheeh yeah true!  I was wondering about the insurance and all that too.
jeev: no, arpnetworks maintenance account is not a requirement; i just can't help you if you need anything (sometimes customers need us to go in the VPS and do something for them)
jeev: and like if you turn off ACPI, I'd have to way to gracefully shutdown the VM for a host reboot (e.g. kernel upgrade)
jeev: still your choice
huh
i'd have to way to gracefuly shutdown ..
you mean no way
jeev: what if I needed to do it for you, like emergency maintenance?  you won't be around all the time
yea that's cool
if we learn of kernel level exploits, we generally upgrade the host within 24-48 hours, and we shutdown all the VMs via ACPI.  for ppl who've turnded off ACPI in their kernel, we login to the VPS.  If we don't have an account, then the VPS must simply be shut off hard (not good).  Fortunately, we haven't had to do any hard shutdowns yet
yea i'm not gonna alter anything
jeev: trit.net is Qsource's network, Trit Networks is one of my peers
never heard of Qsource
jeev: Qsource is a dude in this channel
jeev: acpid is running by default in your VM, so you should be good to delete the arpnetworks maint account if you want to
i gotta eat and head out to the office
ttyl
oh
oh
he's a blackened guy
blackened used to be 31337 on efnet
ballen|away: i might pwn your article; I'm able to ping6 across my test tunnel right now.  A few more steps and I might have this fully working
heh
up_the_irons, i have a sickness
