up_the_ironsteknicaL: welcome to #arpnetworks [19:32]
teknicaLhello =] [19:32]
ballenup_the_irons: posted a comment here mentioning Arp Networks: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=836238 [19:33]
up_the_ironsyou can't get 64-bit counters from SNMP in v1, need v2. I'm glad I got a lot of sleep last night, b/c otherwise it probably woulda taken me a lot longer to figure out why this one new graph of mine isn't working ;) [19:33]
ballena little late, but oh well [19:33]
up_the_ironsballen: hey, still, i appreciate it :) [19:33]
ballenno prob
I figure your URL with FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and VPS will make for some good SEO
especially on HN
[19:34]
up_the_ironsballen: yeah that's true huh? :) [19:37]
ballenyea [19:37]
up_the_ironscd $home [19:38]
teknicaLAnyone in here care to share their experience running FreeBSD on their VPS? Is it generally fast? One would think that there would be a lot of bottleneck because of the amount of compiling users could be doing on the host. [19:46]
visininwell
i can only compare it to a slicehost I had
i was paying $20 for both of them
[19:46]
ballenI haven't seen any ideas teknicaL
s/ideas/issues
[19:46]
visininlong story short, the freebsd VPS could compile things more quickly with make -j1 than the slice could with make -j4
the performance has been stellar
[19:47]
ballenyep, my experiance is similar to visinin... actually identical
ballen was a prior Slicehost customer
[19:47]
teknicaLI've never used slicehost but I have a few linodes. I have tried running OpenBSD on my linode but it wasn't the greatest exp. [19:48]
ballenyea I've looked into that... seems like it would be a pain in the ass [19:48]
teknicaLindeed. =x [19:49]
ballenis Linode using Xen? [19:49]
teknicaLYes [19:49]
ballenah
yea
Xen + BSD = lame
[19:49]
teknicaLSome older hosts are using UML. [19:49]
ballenQemu seems to run BSD quite well
and no worries really about the VPS kernel
if you need a custom kernel for what ever reason thats no biggy
[19:50]
teknicaLI was just curious. I'm probably going to get one, or two. If you're allowed multiple. How much ram do you have? Wonder if it is making any different on performance [19:52]
visininmy experience, like I said above, is that freeBSD on Qemu/KVM performs *better* than Linux on Xen [19:55]
***heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks
heavysixer_ has joined #arpnetworks
[20:09]
ballenI have 768
256 on slicehost
FreeBSD performance on anything is better than Linux ;-)
[20:18]
teknicaLagreed [20:20]
ballenhowever on XenServer... BSD perf is wicked slow
like retardedly slow
for whatever reason
[20:20]
teknicaLXen fail ;) [20:22]
ballenCitrix Xen uber fail [20:22]
teknicaLDo you get access to any kind of panel for reboots or anything? [20:26]
***heavysixer has quit IRC (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) [20:26]
ballenuhh good question
I know theres VNC
ballen goes and checks
[20:27]
***heavysixer_ has quit IRC (Connection timed out) [20:28]
teknicaLteknicaL waits
lol
[20:30]
ballenhmm doesn't look like it
guessing thats something Garry is working on
up_the_irons: VPS reboots from the portal coming soon?
[20:30]
teknicaLWell, at least you know you're paying for the hardware and not someones hard work for a panel like linode.com [20:31]
ballenyea
hes also working on some nifty live migration stuff
so he can essentially reduce VPS downtime to nil
at least due to maintenance
[20:31]
teknicaLThat would be nice
Isn't that a feature of slicehost?
[20:32]
ballenumm, not sure
don't think so
they just never do maintenance
[20:33]
teknicaLlol
A lot of people cbf doing that. =|
[20:33]
ballenseriously never got a scheduled maintenance from them in over two years
they offered to upgrade kernels voluntarily
[20:33]
teknicaLGuess if it isn't broke, don't fix it? [20:34]
ballensince ArchLinux needed a new kernel
yep
I often take the stance of fix it tills its broken
s/tills/till
up_the_irons: how about some tradsies bandwidth for RAM or another CPU
teknicaL: you can get Cacti graphs of your bandwidth also

Guest98752I don't remember if this is my nickname or not. ;x [21:12]
balleni unno [21:13]
***Guest98752 is now known as teknicaL [21:13]
teknicaLteknical used to be registered but it's not. =[ [21:13]
ballenso register it [21:14]
teknicaLI did. I am just saddened that it expired. lol [21:14]
ballenexpires after 60 days
of non-use
[21:15]
teknicaLThat would explain why it's gone. I haven't been on freenode in about a year. [21:15]
ballenwell thats freenode's policy, not sure how widely they enforce it [21:16]
up_the_ironsup_the_irons reads the scrollback [21:24]
Rickyeah stuff expires if you don't keep on it
one of my altnicks expired cos I never had to use it
and when that happened an oper nagged me about not having a registered altnick
;v
[21:24]
ballenanyone see a email confirmation plugin for Sinatra? [21:31]
up_the_ironsballen: VPS reboots are probably not going to come from the portal, but from a management console. I can in fact give you a preview if you send me your SSH pub key [21:37]
ballenup_the_irons: coolio, teknicaL was asking about it [21:38]
teknicaLteknicaL hides [21:39]
ballenballen yawns
Sinatra should not be called Sinatra.... googling for it is a pain in the ass
[21:44]
up_the_ironsballen: what login name do you prefer for SSH ? [21:45]
ballenballen is good [21:45]
up_the_ironsok
ballen: do you want to try out the serial console feature? (It will require a reboot of your VM)
[21:45]
ballennope [21:49]
up_the_ironsok [21:49]
ballenI'll get it on my next reboot whenever that'll be [21:49]
up_the_ironssure [21:49]
teknicaLlol [21:49]
ballenhttp://github.com/heycarsten/email-veracity
interesting email validation
seems easier just to mail the person
[21:52]
up_the_ironsballen: test "ssh ballen@console.cust.arpnetworks.com" [22:00]
ballenworks [22:01]
up_the_ironsyou get a menu? [22:01]
ballenyep, neato
of course I'd say that if I just got logged into root of the box
[22:01]
up_the_ironsso like, nothing works
hahaha
but you can tunnel VNC over SSH now
[22:01]
ballenwoooh... [22:02]
up_the_ironsjust hit 't'
'c' - serial console, will work after a reboot
[22:02]
ballendoes boot, and shutdown work? [22:02]
up_the_ironsnope [22:02]
ballenawwww
why not
[22:03]
up_the_irons"[21:58:13] @up_the_irons | so like, nothing works"
:)
[22:03]
ballenalso it'd be cool if: ssh -f ballen@console.cust.arpnetworks.com -L 5555:<VNC Server IP>:<VNC Port> -N
filled in the IP and port
so I don't have to go look it up
also why doesn't the VNC server work with Apple's VNC client
[22:03]
up_the_ironsballen: yeah, i think I'll get it to fill those in soon
ballen: the trouble with VNC is that different vendors implemented it differently, so not all clients work with all servers
[22:07]
ballenballen makes sad face
JollysFastVNC works though
[22:08]
teknicaLteknicaL is on a mac too [22:08]
ballenfyi [22:08]
up_the_ironsah cool
i should compile a list
[22:08]
ballenJollys is really the only 3rd party VNC client needed on a mac
it supports everything
ssh tunneling works well
no more vnc password cleartext snooping
[22:08]
up_the_ironsnice
you're tunneling to your VM now?
[22:10]
ballenjust closed it
tunnel itself is still up
[22:10]
up_the_ironsah cool, but you're saying it worked, which is nice [22:10]
ballenyes it works [22:10]
up_the_ironscool
only other other customer has tried it (also reported success)
[22:10]
ballencool, yea ssh tunnels are pretty solid
i assume serial console is quite a bit faster than VNC
since VNC is such a waste of bandwidth to send a console
[22:11]
up_the_ironsyeah, way faster
but then you have to live with vt100 ;)
[22:12]
ballenfine with me [22:13]
up_the_ironsactually, in /etc/ttys, you can probably change that, but i never tried [22:13]
ballenmeh vt100 is fine
as long as I'm using Terminal on OS X
its no prob
[22:13]
up_the_ironswith FreeBSD, you have to change /boot/loader.conf and /etc/ttys, to get all serial functionality. With VNC, "it just works", but higher bandwidth and some clients don't work. so it is a trade off [22:14]
ballenah right
what in loader needs changing so I don't break it
[22:14]
up_the_irons# echo 'console="comconsole"' >> /boot/loader.conf [22:15]
ballenah k [22:15]
up_the_ironsbut keep in mind, once you do that, the loader won't output to the "monitor" (VNC) any more
while getty will run on both the monitor and serial
[22:15]
ballenhuh
so which one do you use
[22:16]
up_the_ironsI use VNC for customer VMs b/c most people will probably be more familiar with it.
no changes are necessary in the VM, etc...
[22:18]
ballenyea I know that, comconsole or getty [22:18]
up_the_ironsbut once i roll out serial console to everyone, i will make the /etc/ttys change by default, so everyone can get a "getty login" over SSH
that's kinda nice, then no one needs a VNC client for most issues
like locking themselves out b/c of networking mistakes
[22:19]
teknicaLI've hardly played around with VNC at all. Don't really see any use for it, tbh. [22:19]
up_the_ironsteknicaL: it's kinda nice to install VMs cuz I just launch VNC and have it boot the installer ISO [22:20]
teknicaLAh, well in that case it works out well. In my case, I probably have 0 use for it.
At least I can't really think of any reason I might be needing use for it.
me really doesn't want to do what he has to do for the night. lol
[22:22]
up_the_ironsteknicaL: if you bork your networking settings, you'll see why VNC is useful over here ;) At least, until the serial console feature is up [22:24]
teknicaLI don't plan on it. I may or may not. I haven't used bsd in a while. I've had the linode lish console shell and never once used it. I shouldn't say much more cause it will prob lead me to borking something. [22:27]
mike-burnsBorking it is half the fun! [22:27]
up_the_ironshaha, yeah
lol
ok dudes i gotta go to starbucks before they close, long night head... ;)
bbl
[22:27]
ballenhah
k
[22:28]
teknicaLstar schmucks. =x
I haven't had any of their coffee in a while. And if I get back into it, I'm going to have to give up some subscriptions, like this one.
I suppose I should get the rest of my stuff done for the night now that I got my order in. I'm gonna idle here, hope no one cares. Cya all later.
[22:28]
ballenk bye [22:31]
....... (idle for 31mn)
up_the_ironsup_the_irons is slowly becoming caffeinated
teknicaL: by all means idle, i encourage it, really. i like friends ;)
[23:02]
ballenblah email validation is a pain [23:12]
teknicaLe-mail validation?
up_the_irons: cool. =]
[23:23]
up_the_ironsup_the_irons thinks teknicaL is procrastinating again [23:24]
ballenyea the typical signup for a service, get an email with a code, enter the code [23:24]
***baklava has quit IRC (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) [23:25]
teknicaLup_the_irons: you're partially correct. I don't like to work. =[ I'm tried, though, so I am going to finish the rest i the morning before work. It's 3am now, gonna head to bed.
ballen: Oh. I thought you were coding some sort of e-mail validation script or something. yeah, those are typically annoying. Especially on services, such as subscription based ones.
[23:30]
up_the_ironsteknicaL: g'night [23:30]
ballenheh I am coding
need to validate users
email is the easiest way
[23:31]
teknicaLjust charge their card 5.00 a pop, they won't spam you anymore. =b [23:32]
ballenmeh, service will be free [23:32]
teknicaLDamn, I must be tired. I thought the clock said 3am, when it's only 2:34am =x
G'night all.
