Looks like rain is on its way here.
hi
Hello dbgi !
hi mike-burns, hows it going?
No complaints, about to leave the office.
thinking about getting a vps from here next week
oh ok cool
I'm just one of the customers; if you have any hard questions up_the_irons can answer them.
ok cool thanks man, ill idle here till hes around, thanks
has anyone built kvm from git ?
oh well, trying it
;)
up_the_irons, http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/kvm.git;a=commit;h=d80e68823cada7b6d850330da1edfdf8bff9e2e6 supposably fixes the timer issue
-smp 1
consistent 2 s
$ time sleep 1
2.00 real 0.00 user 0.00 sys
with git kvm/kernel qemu-kvm
up_the_irons, bsd vm installs recommend kern.hz=100 in /boot/loader.conf
i built kvm and qemu-kvm from git with the latest update (to fix the timing issue), it gave me a consistent 2s, then i added kern.hz=100 and it's fixed it now, without -no-kvm-irqchip or wathefver
jeev: good to know, thanks.  I tried kern.hz=100 and it didn't change anything.  Of course, I'm not compiling the latest and greatest from git
yea
but it's gotten back at me, booting gives me a /dev/console i/o error
still works but, hehe

Bah. I hate it when the train pulls away just as you get to the station. :(
i haven't been on a train in forever
where you live
jeev: Boston.
ahh cool
i've had lunch with david ortiz
not that it matters to anyone
heh
Haha.
anyone around
nope
k
what are some IPv4 networking questions you'd expect in an interview
gateway questions
such as?
if it's a windows thing, maybe why you can't see other computer on the workgroup or some shit
i forgot, i used to ask really easy questions
yea def not a windos thing
maybe they ask you subnetting
yea thats likely
yea enough
easy*
48 bits in a MAC addr, 32 in a IP address
i dont even know that or care to
what the usable number of hosts in a /23
510
max usable
 /22 1022
obviously it varies with smaller subnets
yea
I always get asked /23
for whatever reason
TCP 3-way handshake
i know none of that shit
and 4 way tear down
are ya a developer?
or an SA?
yea man
i can barely take care of my servers
i have a ton of servers and never pay attention to them
heh
i can't focus, can't code
i figured out the timing solution though
apic->lapic_timer.period = (u64)apic_get_reg(apic, APIC_TMICT) *
latest code
typical developer :-p
it was patched, i mean i didn't figure it out
soemone else did
;)
know how syncookies work?
need to find out why lilo locks up the bo
no, dood i dont know any of that stuff
in the three way handshake the first syn packet is sent by the client to the server, the server responds normally with a SYN/ACK
but does not keep the SYN in the queue
cool
it just knows based on the sequence number it sent back to the client that it actually sent it
i've yet to try launching a second VPS
on my box
that way the buffer never filled up
yea, assuming your CPU has virtulization extensions?
yea i got a decent box i wanna colo
i just learned about qemu the other
day
used to try xen, was decent
try ESXi?
eh
why so many things
i like kvm
just VMware's products are wicked easy
to use
ESXi is a little tempermetial with hardware support though
kvm is easy
yea ESX just works though
i dunno what it is
so

i'd like to get a second CPU for this box but not sure if i need it
yea not sure, what are you running or planning to run on it
FYI: https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/index.php?p=free-esxi&lp=1
nothing prodution
its a bare metal install around 128megs or so
dont care for anything like vmware
and managed via the VMware vSphere client
mmk
i guess the windows versions annoyed me enough not to care
i'm so excited about virtualization
i never was.
i wonder if my 400mhz xeon has capabilities!
nope
i know heh
could run VMware and thats about it
and it'd be slow
i know man i was joking
indeed
damn, freebsd install is going pretty slow though
247.9kb/s
if i recall correctly my previous install was a lot faster
yep
maybe cause i'm running the git version
i need to rebuild kvm actually
wow man, all that and i never paid attention to
making sure the speeds are ok
up_the_irons, you remember how long it takes to install bsd ?
what the data transfer is?
damn installation is nasty slow
