WhoWhatWhen
ballenjoy email validations work
tomorrow, I implment a beta invite system
well rather later today
now I sleep
up_the_irons: don't stay up to late
[01:25]
up_the_ironsballen: i'll be fine

mike-burnsballen|away: I sorta understand why you're using Sinatra, but one you go looking for plugins, etc., for it it makes more sense to use Rails.
(If you used Rails you could use Clearance which handles email validations.)

up_the_ironsmornin'?
it aint mornin till i've slept
i have requested peering with 30 more networks. OMG I am tired
cd $bed
[06:21]
mhoranWord.
Peer with GOogle yet? :)
Wonder how many VMs you have to host for them to think that'd be practical. I think you also need two peering points? I looked into this a while ago.
[06:23]
***heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks [06:38]
..... (idle for 23mn)
up_the_ironsmhoran: nah, google still giving me the finger ;) and yeah, they require multiple locations now
mhoran: as far as # of VMs, at the rate you guys use b/w you'd need a METRIC SH*T TON of VMs ;)
[06:18:40] @up_the_irons | cd $bed
up_the_irons: ^^ liar
[07:01]
mhoranHaha. [07:02]
up_the_ironsmhoran: just got off a nice call with Cable & Wireless; they didn't 'em up wanting to peer, but they gave me the time of day and were very nice. That's the diff between USA and GB I guess ;) [07:03]
mhoranHah, cool. [07:03]
up_the_ironslooks like I need in the range of 7+ Gbps of traffic before they'll reconsider [07:03]
mhoranWe'll get there! [07:03]
up_the_ironsup_the_irons <-- way off from that ;) [07:03]
mhoranWish I were hosting something that were that popular, hah.
7 Gbps. Wow.
I just looked at that number again, hah.
[07:04]
up_the_ironsthe guy was talking about wholesale transit rates, and costs getting across Russia and Pacific Ocean, and how as a result "content" traffic is becoming lower and lower in value wrt peering [07:05]
mhoranOh really.
Interesting.
[07:05]
up_the_ironsmhoran: LOL, yeah, 7 *G*bps
other types of traffic are becoming more sought after, like voice traffic
[07:05]
mhoranRight. [07:06]
up_the_ironsi mean, with all the content we spill out for free from networks in the US, it is no wonder the rest of the world is becoming less likely to pick up the bill ;) [07:06]
mhoranYeah. I've always been interested in the point where an ISP is interested in peering vs. transit, and what it takes to get there. [07:07]
up_the_ironsyeah, i find that interesting as well. i know the basics, but some of these guys that are *into it* are really fascinating to listen to [07:08]

teknicaLAre there bandwidth graphs in the control panel? If so, I must be missing something. =x [11:50]
ballenyea up_the_irons has to add them, not added automagically
just send a request to support@arpnetworks.com
[11:54]
teknicaLoh
ok
Will do. Just on the lunch break right now
[11:54]
ballenright on, just woke up
staying up till 6am not a smart idea
[11:55]
.................. (idle for 1h28mn)
teknicaLLol. No, ,that is never a good idea. [13:23]
......... (idle for 41mn)
ballen: have you rebuild your kernel on your vps?
-d +t
[14:04]
ballenlike you would in any install
oh
have i
nah
no reason to
GENERIC kernel is just fine for me
I used to do custom kernels in FreeBSD all the time, but have found theres really not any noticeable benefit
[14:04]
teknicaLI wasn't going to but I want to update the user land so I thought I might as well rebuild the kernel too
I've never rebuild a 64bit kernel though. It seems different
[14:08]
ballenyea its a little diff
you're not doing like a make world are you?
freebsd-update ...
its how you do that now
[14:09]
teknicaLI was going to do a make world. lol
I haven't used BSD in a long time. x
=x
[14:09]
ballenfreebsd-update is amazing
freebsd-update fetch
then freebsd-update install
[14:10]
teknicaLcool [14:10]
ballensoooo much better than make world [14:10]
teknicaLabout time it's simple. lol [14:10]
ballenalso portsnap
for grabbing ports and updating the ports tree
portsnap fetch extract
portsnap fetch update
yea freebsd-update came out around 6.1 or 6.2 ish
and it was in ports before that
[14:10]
teknicaLis this like all the ipv6 you can eat or something
lol
that is a crap load of ipv6
[14:13]
ballen/48 yea
its a retarded amount
[14:14]
teknicaLmust be trying to push people away from ipv4. lol [14:14]
ballensupposidly its the standard recommended subnet to push to hosts in the RFC
which is wild
[14:15]
teknicaLand they wonder why they're out of ipv4. ha! [14:15]
ballenmy thoughts excactly
I believe a /48 is more ip's then there is in ipv4
[14:16]
up_the_ironsyeah, if you read the RFCs, between /48 and /56 is the recommended allocation, with the /56 being geared toward residental (Cable/DSL/Dialup) ISPs
ballen: yeah, it is more than entire ipv4
[14:16]
ballenheh
brilliant
[14:17]
up_the_ironsbut one thing you need to keep in mind is, you wouldn't be assigning /128's to each host
the idea is this:
IPv6 is so large, we don't "think" of it in terms of individual IPs anymore
we thing in terms of subnets instead
[14:17]
ballenyea
should just get rid of port numbers
[14:18]
up_the_ironshow many "subnets" is a /48 ? Well, the standard subnet size is /64, so it is 2^(64 - 48)
and *that's* what you consider to be how "big" your block is. how many subnets do I have? instead of, how many IPs do I have?
[14:18]
ballentrue, but you can actually give a host a /128 so you still have a crap load [14:19]
up_the_ironsright, you *can*, but you lose a lot of the features built into IPv6 [14:19]
ballenoh well
whaaatever
[14:19]
up_the_ironsbut anyway
how many /48's can I give out before I run out?
65536
if i had that many customers, i'm retiring
[14:20]
ballenheh
indeed
[14:20]
up_the_ironsand ARIN reserves like the neighboring 8 or so /32's
So I could increase to a /24
[14:20]
ballenlmao
just in case
[14:21]
up_the_ironsby just changning the subnet mask, no additional blocks needed
this is why the routing table for IPv6 is going to be a lot smaller (a lot less blocks)
[14:21]
ballenah [14:21]
up_the_ironslet's see, if I had a /24
I could give out 16777216 /48's
then I'M DONE
DONE
i tell you
it's a little scary that some ISPs already have /21's of IPv6
[14:22]
ballenare they just hording ?
hoarding
[14:23]
up_the_ironsnah, i think they actually have millions of customers [14:23]
ballendamn [14:23]
up_the_ironslike AT&T, Level3, etc... [14:23]
ballenah
yea
how much does a /48 cost ya
err
/32
[14:23]
teknicaLhow differently it is to rebuild a 64-bit kernel vs 32-bit? [14:25]
up_the_ironsNothing so far, they let ISP's that already have IPv4 get an IPv6 block for free. This is like to "encourage" adoption, but in the end they'll charge at some point. Probably $2250 per year [14:25]
ballenjust different options [14:25]
teknicaLany options that I have to worry about since it's a vps? [14:26]
up_the_ironsiStormy_WY5Q: oh hey, welcome to #arpnetworks :) [14:26]
teknicaLspecific^ [14:26]
ballenjust compare against dmesg [14:26]
teknicaLalright. I'll give it a shot. I don't want to kill the box already. -_- [14:27]
mike-burnsteknicaL: I barely noticed the 64-bit kernel changes. Mostly the same stuff; just modify GENERIC and follow dmesg. [14:27]
ballenjust remember how to recover
boot kernel.old
or whatever it is from the boot loader

........... (idle for 50mn)
jeevman i've got a good server i need to colo
but i wanna split it up into VM's, what should i use ?
i should learn this kvm stuff, i've only deat with xen
i guess maybe i'd be stuck with xen again, i've used the dtc panel by gplhost.com and it's pretty cool
but i dont like debian
[18:10]
mhoranXen is bad news.
Check out KVM.
I'm hating my life, thanks to Xen.
[18:13]
jeevyea, i want to use somthing where i could have multiple freebsd vps's [18:14]
Nat_UBjeev: I'll help ya test a couple. :) [18:14]
jeevi brought the server up at the office
it's running bsd right now but i assume i have to have it onl inux first
hehe Nat_UB
i actually need to add more ram first
usable memory = 4284665856 (4086 MB)
avail memory = 4112187392 (3921 MB)
i guess it's not ad
bad i dont want to use it for anything hectic
and this is for a new POP

[18:25]
jeevah
so give me an idea about kvm
can i run it off bsd or dose it have to be linux
[18:26]
mhoranAs of now, it's Linux only. [18:26]
jeevi guess i should read
ahh
[18:26]
mhoranThere's been an attempt made to port it to FreeBSD.
However, my FreeBSD VM runs pretty well in KVM (now that we've ironed out some issues with the timer.)
[18:27]
Nat_UBKVM runs rather nicely on Linux now...well supported and documented [18:27]
mhoranThe Xen team is far too fractured, and can't pick something to finish -- they get too interested in the latest and greatest, but never fully polish a feature, so it just doesn't work.
KVM support is integrated into the kernel (which is where the Xen folks would like to be, but they can't get their shit together.)
[18:27]
jeevdunno
makes me nervous to want to use it for production
it's a decent server i could split 4 ways
