[00:01] nope :) [00:02] I mean, could you send that root password to baklava@example.com instead? I'm having problems with my other e-mail. [00:03] whoa, LOL [00:03] cool, then if you sign up, that'll be two for today ;) [00:04] * baklava hands up_the_irons a rake for the money. [00:04] hahahaah [00:05] * up_the_irons would have gone into porn if he wanted to rake in dough [00:05] heh [00:06] http://jobs.arstechnica.com/list/444/ [00:06] speaking of porn [00:07] heh [00:07] Gur novyvgl gb haqrefgnaq gung guvf vf ABG fgebat rapelcgvba. [00:07] wtf is that [00:08] I'm trying to deicde whether or not my desire for FreeBSD is worth the money right now [00:09] baklava: you're looking at pgrmr's $6 plan's huh? ;) [00:09] whats pgrmr [00:09] another vps [00:09] ahh [00:09] jeev: http://www.prgmr.com/xen/ [00:10] yea i'm looking [00:10] cheap [00:10] but [00:10] if you need the bandwidth [00:10] heh [00:10] i'd try it one day maybe [00:10] but [00:10] this is perfect for me [00:10] i dont even need this one! [00:11] jeev just loves me [00:11] ;) [00:11] lol [00:11] even their colo is cheap [00:12] until their he.net goes out [00:12] up_the_irons: not the $6, but their longer contracts are tempting with good VPS stats [00:12] nobody serious about being a service provider can be single homed [00:13] they don't have HVM [00:13] baklava: gotcha [00:13] right, it's all paravirt [00:13] you try he yet ? [00:13] NetBSD is a pain [00:13] jeev: no [00:13] you want FreeBSD [00:13] ballen: my ns2 is still NetBSD 3.0 ;) [00:13] under Xen, heh [00:13] not saying its not a good OS [00:13] just more of a pain [00:14] you 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] I'll believe it when I see it [00:14] though Kip has been absent on the FreeBSD-Xen mailing list so it's not looking great [00:15] i wonder if that is losing momentum b/c HVM solutions are becoming a viable alternative [00:15] well 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 [00:16] chip 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] Red Hat is supposedly putting their eggs with KVM [00:16] Given that KVM got accepted into the linux kernel, that's not really surprising [00:17] Xen has been crying to get in, but Linus, et. al. have sighted numerous problems, and have refused to do so [00:17] yea Xen isn't doing so hot, at least from what I've seen [00:18] XenServer is a pain the ass compared to ESX [00:18] it 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] and doesn't run FreeBSD worth a shit [00:19] the prgmr guys are releasing a Xen book published by NoStarch in October so at least they're involved [00:20] that's cool [00:20] To 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 [00:20] damn [00:20] 99.5 ? lol [00:20] i'ven ever seen anyting so low [00:20] i dont blame him but still [00:20] but yea, I'm wary about running production machines with the current FreeBSD issues in Xen [00:21] yea, you can see his blog with posted downtimes [00:21] unfortunately, money is just an issue for me atm... at least until I find out about this job by the end of the month [00:21] and don't want to be jumping all over the place, so I have to choose carefully ;) [00:22] i think ballen would freak if I had 3.6 hours of downtime in a month, OH SNAP ;) [00:22] okay, my girlfriend is getting frustrated, I've gotta go :P [00:22] hah [00:22] yep [00:22] baklava: l8r! [00:22] talk to you guys later, thanks again [00:22] np, see you later [00:22] later [00:22] http://jobs.arstechnica.com/list/405/ [00:23] Wierd can't find any info about that company [00:24] http://aapcomm.com/ [00:25] solid website [00:25] god RHEL is gay [00:25] hahahahaa [00:25] RHEL is indeed gay [00:25] prolly should nuke it and install FreeBSd [00:25] that site reminds me of: https://www.trit.net/corp/ [00:25] Qsource: ^^ you should remove 'Website coming soon', has been that way for years :) [00:26] Qsource: other than that, it is actually a very no non-sense, to-the-point, site :) [00:26] haha [00:26] [00:26] [00:26] AAP Communications, LLC [00:26] [00:26] [00:26]
