WhoWhatWhen
baklavanope :)
I mean, could you send that root password to baklava@example.com instead? I'm having problems with my other e-mail.
[00:01]
up_the_ironswhoa, LOL
cool, then if you sign up, that'll be two for today ;)
[00:03]
baklavabaklava hands up_the_irons a rake for the money. [00:04]
up_the_ironshahahaah
up_the_irons would have gone into porn if he wanted to rake in dough
[00:04]
jeevheh [00:05]
ballenhttp://jobs.arstechnica.com/list/444/
speaking of porn
[00:06]
jeevheh [00:07]
ballenGur novyvgl gb haqrefgnaq gung guvf vf ABG fgebat rapelcgvba.
wtf is that
[00:07]
baklavaI'm trying to deicde whether or not my desire for FreeBSD is worth the money right now [00:08]
up_the_ironsbaklava: you're looking at pgrmr's $6 plan's huh? ;) [00:09]
jeevwhats pgrmr [00:09]
ballenanother vps [00:09]
jeevahh [00:09]
up_the_ironsjeev: http://www.prgmr.com/xen/ [00:09]
jeevyea i'm looking
cheap
but
if you need the bandwidth
heh
i'd try it one day maybe
but
this is perfect for me
i dont even need this one!
[00:10]
up_the_ironsjeev just loves me
;)
[00:11]
jeevlol
even their colo is cheap
[00:11]
up_the_ironsuntil their he.net goes out [00:12]
baklavaup_the_irons: not the $6, but their longer contracts are tempting with good VPS stats [00:12]
up_the_ironsnobody serious about being a service provider can be single homed [00:12]
baklavathey don't have HVM [00:13]
up_the_ironsbaklava: gotcha
right, it's all paravirt
[00:13]
jeevyou try he yet ? [00:13]
ballenNetBSD is a pain [00:13]
up_the_ironsjeev: no [00:13]
ballenyou want FreeBSD [00:13]
up_the_ironsballen: my ns2 is still NetBSD 3.0 ;)
under Xen, heh
[00:13]
ballennot saying its not a good OS
just more of a pain
[00:13]
baklavayou can do FreeBSD, but you have to do a bit of a workaround... at the end of October, 8.0 is supposed to be released with paravirt support [00:14]
ballenI'll believe it when I see it [00:14]
baklavathough Kip has been absent on the FreeBSD-Xen mailing list so it's not looking great [00:14]
up_the_ironsi wonder if that is losing momentum b/c HVM solutions are becoming a viable alternative [00:15]
baklavawell there are howtos for the FreeBSD setup and it's in the FreeBSD handbook for 7.0 on Xen 3.0, but it's a little different with 3.3 [00:15]
up_the_ironschip manufacturers can get their chips to run any faster (I have a 2.4GHz Xeon that I got in 2003 ;), so they just pack more features; and one big one right now is HVM [00:16]
baklavaRed Hat is supposedly putting their eggs with KVM [00:16]
up_the_ironsGiven that KVM got accepted into the linux kernel, that's not really surprising
Xen has been crying to get in, but Linus, et. al. have sighted numerous problems, and have refused to do so
[00:16]
ballenyea Xen isn't doing so hot, at least from what I've seen
XenServer is a pain the ass compared to ESX
[00:17]
up_the_ironsit really sucked when a Xen box I administer started kernel panicking every 5 minutes, which I suspect was the new kernel based NFS, and I couldn't do anything about it. Cuz I can't upgrade the Linux kernel without Xen having done so first [00:18]
ballenand doesn't run FreeBSD worth a shit [00:18]
baklavathe prgmr guys are releasing a Xen book published by NoStarch in October so at least they're involved [00:19]
up_the_ironsthat's cool [00:20]
jeevTo formalize this, I will guarantee 99.5% uptime - this means that if service is down for more than 3.6 hours in any given month, affected customers will get a service credit that is equal to 25% of what they paid for the month in which the SLA was not met. (Note, this is down from 100%, but also note, I do pay this out. Many customers actually have complained about not being billed... turns out it was that because of the service credits due to my mist
damn
99.5 ? lol
i'ven ever seen anyting so low
i dont blame him but still
[00:20]
baklavabut yea, I'm wary about running production machines with the current FreeBSD issues in Xen
yea, you can see his blog with posted downtimes
unfortunately, money is just an issue for me atm... at least until I find out about this job by the end of the month
and don't want to be jumping all over the place, so I have to choose carefully ;)
[00:20]
up_the_ironsi think ballen would freak if I had 3.6 hours of downtime in a month, OH SNAP ;) [00:22]
baklavaokay, my girlfriend is getting frustrated, I've gotta go :P [00:22]
ballenhah
yep
[00:22]
up_the_ironsbaklava: l8r! [00:22]
baklavatalk to you guys later, thanks again [00:22]
up_the_ironsnp, see you later [00:22]

Wierd can't find any info about that company
http://aapcomm.com/
solid website
[00:22]
jeevgod RHEL is gay [00:25]
up_the_ironshahahahaa [00:25]
ballenRHEL is indeed gay
prolly should nuke it and install FreeBSd
[00:25]
up_the_ironsthat site reminds me of: https://www.trit.net/corp/
Qsource: ^^ you should remove 'Website coming soon', has been that way for years :)
Qsource: other than that, it is actually a very no non-sense, to-the-point, site :)

ballenanywho what's everyone's opinion on applying to that job posting, with no company info
i.e. chances of getting owned
[00:29]
up_the_ironsgive it a try; DigiSynd (my day job) was "stealth" for almost 18 months. and yeah, it was hard to hire b/c people saw the site and thought "who the heck are these guys?" [00:31]

I was wondering, but wasn't sure...
[01:14]
baklavahehe, didn't want to ask again huh [01:15]
up_the_ironsdidn't want your gf to get mad ;) [01:15]
baklavawell I was supposed to go to this Korean restaurant with my girlfriend and I'd been waiting for her to finish getting ready... then when she was ready, I'd started talking to you a bit and asked her to give me 5 minutes [01:17]
up_the_ironsah, haha [01:17]
baklavawell, I tried to keep her from going to lay down on the bed and watching tv while she waited, but she insisted... 7 minutes later, I asked her to go and of course she started not feeling good
fast forward to now, I'm still starving, she said she can't go, and is laying in bed sleeping
so that month was my dinner :P
