there:
 host rig.cust
I mean rig.cust.arpnetworks.com
rig.cust.arpnetworks.com has address 206.125.172.234
rig.cust.arpnetworks.com has IPv6 address 2607:f2f8:3900::2
perfect
thanks much

10/2... another day
gnite guys. Thanks for all the help.
Dell...  are you f'in serious?  I can't view your PDF?  Instead it is a self-extracting .exe (which obviously won't work on Linux)
neato, I resized an OpenBSD filesystem
or rather, a UFS filesystem on an OpenBSD system
Woo! Getting out early!
... I don't know what I"m going to do with all this time.
Hack code?
make another pot
and then another
then go get a shot of espresso
and take two excedrin
that should just about due
lol
taking a day off here mostly... new kitchen counters showing up any minute. Will be happy to stop cooking outside on the patio.
or just order some straight caffine from a chemical supply house
nice
gutted 1/2 our main floor earlier this summer; putting Humpty-Dumpty back together again now...
right on
50kg of bulk caffeine is almost $2000 https://www.spectrumchemical.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?section_name=Food--Beverage-Ingredients&minisite=10020&respid=50577&item=78509&section=15826&beginIndex=0
FYI: 10 grams of caffeine is lethal
Probably a lifetime supply and then some
50 kilos, hell
wonder what people use it for
Food production
And science nuts: http://scienceblogs.com/developingintelligence/2008/02/optimally_wired_a_caffeine_use.php
lol
from a chemical supply house?
seems like there would be a cheaper place to get it from for food
was in the food chemicals section. No doubt a big chunk of the population get more of their "nutrients" that way these days ;)
heh
I've used caffeinated soap before
kinda dumb
If you really hate both your body and sleep, I recommend the uberman polyphasic sleep schedule.
25 minutes every four hours.
It's all you need, really.
Sounds interesting. This quote however is what I expected to find quickly: "It is important to note that there are no studies as to the long-term physical or physiological impact of this sleep cycle. I really don't know if this cycle is causing long-term damage to myself or not, and if this concerns you, I wouldn't attempt the cycle. "
heh
That's pretty accurate.
It seems that as a general rule it isn't nice to fool with Mother Nature.
I blogged my attempt at it here: http://fucksleep.wordpress.com/
Quote is from here: http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/4/15/103358/720
Yeah.
One thing you'd discover if you attempted such a schedule is that you now have way more time in the day than you'd expect, and not enough energy to use it. So you quickly read everything about it.
As I age I'm finding I need more but I still attempt to work the hours I used to.
Kitchen guys are here. Gotta run
k bye

heh
i never expected that on a vps
hi
getting annoying brute forces
probably gonna change ssh port
You could also just use restrictions in /etc/hosts.allow - those denied won't even get a chance to authenticate
never read about it
thought hosts.allow was of known things
ips and what not
You can both allow and deny hosts access in hosts.allow - e.g. allow connections from only your ip and denying it from all others
Or you can install denyhosts, that monitors /var/log/auth.log and based on rules you configure add and remove ips in the hosts.allow
jeev: you could also try bruteblock, its a nifty little tool that can be custom configured to add IPs to to the firewall based on parameters set by you.
using bruteblock
but it's a million random ips
coming slowly
yea i know neerd
i'll just change the port, i dont care
ok
I've got to check bruteblock out - I didn't know about that. Sounds cool
nerdd: I also use it for apache
but I assume you are using ipfw
I've actually never tried using ipfw for anything yet
kk
oh hi
can anyone give me the default name servers? I need to set up my forwarders?
scratch the last ?
BeBoo...u find them?
find what? i need them. i changed my resolv.conf and never wrote down the IPs
BeBoo...I only have one...sent via PM
thanks
but wouldn't resolutions be quicker if it stayed on the same network rather than leaving the network to go to opendns?
i'm sure the time difference would be negligable
actually I found it was faster to use opendns
Depends on how fast / overloaded the local might get...
i use opendns here at home... was just thinking it might be better to keep it local, is all
thanks =]
Only use IP's...eliminates DNS slowness
of course
why not run your own cache
jeev: if you don't want to use the memory
i see
sometimes i dont think
i really need to make time to redo some of my servers, secure, passwords and all
i have maybe 75 outdated servers now
security ones.
lala
Eric Clapton?
anyone good with bash scripting? I have a simple question if i may
shoot
i'm not sure it's possible with bash but i'm hoping. I know i can echo stuff out. if there a way to... delete what was just echoed and reuse the line?
sorry if i confuse you... not sure how to reword it
Like, i want to echo "Configuring..." then replace that with "Building..."
without using like 10 lines
so
is Configuring... a variable
or stored as a var
it could be
i know how to set vars
thats not what i am asking, tho
i'm talking about output.
ohhh
so you literally want a way
jeev: to stop brute force implement pf -- firewall. I have it on all my servers, except for those that sit behind a firewall themselves. Easy.
for echo "Configuring..." to output building...
no
-_-
sigh...
lemme try it this way...
user runs the script...
k
echo "Welcome! Gonna build..."
then i would echo "Configuring..."
here's the relevant line for pf config - automatically shoves offenders into a block table after four attempts within a certain period of time
pass in quick proto { tcp, udp } from any to any port ssh flags S/SA  keep state (max-src-conn 15, max-src-conn-rate 4/30, overload <ssh-offenders> flush )
when it's done instead of echoing "Building..." below COnfiguring... i want it to replace that line
remove configuring... and repalce it with building....
ohhhh
yea no idea how to do that
k
i don't even know what to call it
lol
replacing text inline on the terminal
without a new line
yeahh there ya go
yess
maybe stty?
not sure though
but would be worth checking
ooo
that looks promising
hey anyone in here ever use ns? i have a quick question..
ns as in...?
network simulator
ns-2/3
not me sorry
but you know networking...right?
it may seem trivial but i'm having some trouble understanding something..
Just a quick question: i'm running the most basic setup of 2 computers with a single link. Lets say i have a link delay of 1000ms running on a 1Mbps, packet of 500 and packet time every 0.005 seconds. What role exactly is the link delay playing in this situation?
what channel is this?
Arp Networks is a VPS, hosting, and colo provider
r u guys into sales or something?
hah no
N00B_: read your networking book and learn something; no pasting homework questions ;)
lol
ballen: a name like "arp networks" has got me college text book questions emailed to me over the years, I know how this goes :)
yu guys are doing VPS...surely...surely you know what a link delay might do
surely
we do
..secret society..
sroute: i like that pf command
..okay cool :)
sroute: i do the same thing on my VM host machines, every VM is actually already protected (after 10 SYN's for SSH within a minute, you're blocked for 1 minute)
up_the_irons: why not just turn off password auth
and not worry about it
ballen: it is, but this is for downstream VMs
can't be sure every customer turns off password auth
ahh
keys are the devil
;x
a way to help them protect themselves
so you have some built in firewall rules that protects us all
well not built-in
you know what i mean
yeah
i saw a certain pattern of traffic disappear after i did that
it was all the brute force scans
yep
omni-present
on the tubes
TOOBS
...bodyboarding?
up_the_irons
you dont set kern.hz for customers ?
it slows down ones CPU but..
it's suggested in bsd's manual for freebsd guest
link?
thats it set to now by default in 7.2
thought they fixed that
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/virtualization-guest.html
pretty much mentioned for every type
i don't set kern.hz, for the record
i've done tests with and witout
without
sysctl -a | grep kern.hz
kern.hz: 1000
The most important step is to reduce the kern.hz tunable to reduce the CPU utilization of FreeBSD under the Parallels environment. This is accomplished by adding the following line to /boot/loader.conf:
kern.hz=100
Without this setting, an idle FreeBSD Parallels guest OS will use roughly 15% of the CPU of a single processor iMacŪ. After this change the usage will be closer to a mere 5%.
guess it allows you to sell more
I believe there is some issues with setting it lower
performance wise
yea
up_the_irons
client loses performance
ah
my wht benchmark went from 78 to 58
on my own server
up_the_irons how much does an idle VM take right now on the CPU

not sure why mine does that
none are being used
ballen: not a whole lot
virtualization rules
up_the_irons: I wouldn't worry about it then, I've messed with it a bit in my VMware install and I don't notice much
ballen: yeah i'm not feeling any pain with the current setting and no one has complained == not an issue ;)
http://unilogiclabs.com/signup - Invite Code: arp_networks what I've been working on
feel free to play
jeev: but thanks for bringing it up, it might be important later on
Supposidly in 8.0 kern.hz will be set back to 100
thanks, checking it out!
there I made an idea that explains it a bit
ugh... damn bugs
up_the_irons: get what the app is all about?
ballen: i think i found it... using a carriage return will place the cursor back to the beginning but i somehow have to clear the line
heh
cool, let me know if you get it
sure
BeBoo_: what are you trying to do?
visinin: as ballen put it: <ballen> replacing text inline on the terminal
i want to reuse the line instead of using newlines
gotcha
i am using a carriage return to bring the cursor to the beginning and it works
yeah, that's the best way to do it
but if the next like is short, it looks weird
well yeah
i need to find a way to clear the rest of the line
i've done this before, let me dig up how i did it
i might just use spaces for the time
ooo
okay
let me try something real quick, think i found it
BeBoo_: So far as I know (which isn't much) you need ncurses to do what you want.
However the \r idea is promising. Maybe 'echo -n' is what you want, too.
nah you don't
basically
ugh, this pastebin is garbage
printf("\e[K"); /* this escape code erases from the right-side of the cursor to the end of the line */
mike-burns: already am using -en
but if the second line is shorter than the first it looks weird
ah, you're doing this with bash?
like blah blahah
yes
printf works in bash
doesn't it?
that escape sequence might not
hold on just a sec
oh
you should be able to just
echo -ne "\033[K"
that'll clear the rest of the line
yeah, that works!
lemme try it
omg i love you visinin
lol
:D!
http://ascii-table.com/ansi-escape-sequences-vt-100.php
keep that around
bookmarked =]
excellent!
so \033 is escape ?
yeah
and you can like change color with it too
i know how to do colors
yeah
just nothing else
but now i do
=]
it's a stupid little script too
i'm making a simple script that downloads the eggie source, configures and builds it
http://lubbock.craigslist.org/rnr/1403715949.html
z0mg
wonder where he's been
back... up_the_irons cool that you are doing that. That might explain why I see relatively few hits on my arp VM as opposed to my own hardware elsewhere.
yay my script works nicely now
i'm happy =]
nice
it downloads, configures and installs eggdrop without any interaction
coool
just confirms a yes/no if you want to do it
also backs up an older install if there is one
so no data loss
nice
