I presume there is nothing preventing us from making our own logs
I use a pen and paper for my IRC logs. Sometimes I scan them in.
almost as good as pigeon carrier
coil: you never saw [FBI] before ? that bot has been in here since the channel started ;)
hello
Howdy.
I saw your page in google directory
I want to vps
In short, http://arpnetworks.com/vps and you can do everything via the Web.
i want debian lenny, i do not want the control panel
ok
When the system is activated?
ASAP; as soon as up_the_irons does it.
can i use iptables on vps?
That's the Linux competitor for pf right?
yea linux's default firewall
If so, yeah go ahead. If you want your system to be monitored you need to allow one IP to ping it.
ersoy: you can do anything you'd be able to do on your own local box
ersoy: You can basically run anything.
You get root, it's your box, do what you'd like. :)
sorry i dont know *bsd
ersoy: Do anything with your packet filtering, but allow 208.79.89.243 to ping it.
Some system administrators do not allow iptables on vps
asked for it
thanks
how can i set rdns ?
control panel or named ?
You have to email support@ for rdns, currently.
(Note:I haven't looked at the control panel in months.)
For a single rDNS entry, mail support@.
and and finish
do you have ddos protection on your systems
up_the_irons will allocate rDNS for larger blocks if necessary.
I know of no DDoS protection.
ersoy, ddos will likely be a on response support issue.
in general do all you can to avoid such things from happening though
what is the baklava mean?
isn't baklava a greek dessert
yes turkish dessert :)
credit card problem is not from turkey?
are you planning on getting any ddos?

While I hate his writing style, I can't think of a better way to write it.
toddf: is this related to NULL page mapping, or w/e?
yes
yeah ,that's been going around...
its a short read, I must leave for supper, you probably already are aware, just adding fuel to the fire
i sense some insecurities
Oh, finally made it to the OpenBSD mailing lists, eh?
Been on FreeBSD for months ...
the post by linus, referenced on the bottom, i had read before (when he first posted it ;)
mhoran: which one?
looks like Theo posted that semi-rant today...
All the talk about mapping to 0.
ah gotcha
(Which allowed me to root my T-mobile G1. Hooray!)
hahaha nice
i wish blackberry was more like the iphone
Bah. There is nothing good about the iPhone.
i bet i could have more fun with an iPhone if i were bored than a blackberry
frankly, other than sending messages, there is nothing fun on a blackberry
If my phone did my laundry, I'd be happy.
anyone try rebuilding freebsd on their vps ?
Hm. That isn't so far-fetched.
i wonder how long it takes
mhoran: If you use your washing machine as your dirty clothes storage and you hooked some sort of computer with Internet to your laundry machine, you'd be halways there.
Genius!
i need to consolidate my servers and retire some
real 111m45.912s
damn, to rebuild 7.2-p4 on 'time make buildworld' but i ran qemu with -smp 2. woops
E5420, 2.5ghz x 4
that's a long ass time.
that seems quite slow
maybe cause i didn't -j2 ?
or -j4 or whatever
CPU: QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.11.50 (2500.08-MHz K8-class CPU)

hi
welcome Ta|isman
how is your day going?
or evening depending
I have been speaking with OBsidieth, and he speaks highly of you
I wasn't quite understanding how he was explaining the thing though
so I figured I would come speak with you
ok
so I sign up on the site in the topic?
no paypal?
these are real dedicated resources, or user shasred?
no paypal
arpnetworks.com/vps for more info
find something you like, click "Order"
RAM is dedicated, disk is dedicated
disk space, that is
CPU is shared

how you doin bra
"HB"
ok up
Imma git wun
http://status.slicehost.com/2009/11/3/dfw-interruption-2 hah
hmm since when did I become a channel op? I feel special now
mentally challenged
nah not special ed
ballen: http://irclogger.arpnetworks.com/irclogger_log/arpnetworks?date=2009-11-01,Sun&sel=26#l22
mmk
ballen: we had a trolling problem
k
will de-troll the channel if needed
i probably shouldn't auto-op (freenode suggestion), but instead allow one to op themselves if needed
de-troll!
whichever
can I not op myself currently?
ballen: yes, you can, but in case you didn't want to be op'd unless needed, you'd have to de-op yourself every time you joined
whats the command to op myself?
 /msg chanserv op #arpnetworks ballen
i think
"Rackspace has experienced a service interruption during tonight’s scheduled maintenance on UPS Cluster G."
ballen: /mode #arpnetworks +o ballen
ballen: oh i guess the chanserv one worked too ;)
ah forgot to add the channel
so if rackspace had a power outage, god help us...
yea rackspace has been having some issues
i always find this a constant though: "The PDUs were down for a total of about 5 minutes"
makes me wanna install some local APC UPS's in my cabs
yea damn things as somewhat expensive though
right
and I'm paying a lot for UPS power already
 N+1 redundant and all that stuff
so I got an epic downtime notice today at work
but still
warning me of a downtime of 50 milliseconds
things fail, no matter how hard you try
so you gotta be prepared, and a UPS would carry one through a 5 minute disruption
ballen: 50 ms, really?
yea true
UPS = local rack UPS
yea, enterprise wide
telco and all
wow
but still... 50 ms
yea not worried about it
at all
haha
thats less time then typical round trip
of a single packet
yeah
thought it was funny though
LOL: "Service to Cloud sites has been restored and we are continuing to work with Cloud sites customers to bring them online"
wait, but if you're on the "Cloud"
it is never supposed to go down, it is THE CLOUD
yep
silly
the cloud needs a good catchy term for when it crashes
whats the antithesis of "THE CLOUD"
cloudburst
bahahaha
hmm
ballen: what makes clouds go away?
i find that a lot funnier than i think it actually is
dryness?
high pressure
DROUGHT
HIGH PRESSURE
drought is more antithesis of water/rain
HIGH PRESSURE COLLISION
not catchy enough
ballen: right, but if it is dry, there's little moisture in the air, so clouds don't form, no?
true, thinking common mass media mindset here
something that would really stick
"Yeah all these constant issues with the Cloud Site is a very big concern for my company and I. We have spend a lot of time migrating over to Cloud Site and we have discovered that it is not as reliable as the 99.9% uptime Rackspace had promised" <-- this is somewhat typical, it is a "new" platform, it's gonna have kinks
heh
actually, 99.9% uptime still leaves room for like an hour a month, doesn't it?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability
8.76 hours
a year
which I think they're still under
43.2 minutes a month, by my calculation
yep
for 30 day months
i can see why google does away with centralized UPSs, and just battery backs the individual server
right, 30 days
yea I absolutely love that model
wish someone would offer in server battery commercially
offers a number of benefits
so does Arp Networks offer six nines availability?
i've gotta find out why it's taking 27 minutes for me to build kernel on my kvm box vs 19 on arp
because the ARP box is faster?
jeev: what command exactly you using to build your kernel?
time make buildkernel KERNCONF=BOX
for example.
let me try running without -smp 2
our cpu differences are what, 166 mhz
maybe cause i'm using a .qcow2.. i mean i dunno
ballen: never calculated exactly.  I definitely don't want 45 minutes downtime per month.  I'd say, realistically, we're looking at more like 5 - 10, and always off-peak and planned.  Most outages are just for kernel security patches
up_the_irons, was kidding six nines of downtime is a crazy goal
like 32 seconds in a year
jeev: i'm trying that on my new box, let's see
LOL
99.9999%
a common "idea" around the dot com bust
haha
i've never understood this: http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SUA3000RM2U&total_watts=50
WHY, APC, WHY can't you give me a UPS with twist-lock OUTPUTS
that's a deal breaker
hmm
can you do 208v?
what you running on the new box
ubunti?
http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SUA3000RMT2U&total_watts=50
I have that in my rack at the moment
although I can't remember if they are twist lock
hmmm thinking
thinking
yes they are
because my PDU for the rack used to be plugged into the wall which is twist lock
ballen: I don't have 208V.  See, that one you have, is perfect, I just need the 120V version
which I don't know if it exists
hmm lame
L5-20R or L5-30R outputs would do fine
WHOA
http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SUA3000R3XLNETPKG&total_watts=1800
there
it has one
man, pricey
i'm so annoyed
yea networked
bumps the price
just get the old school AP9616's
hahah
or whatever they were
that what i use and will always use
yea 120v is lame
this would work:
http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtSeriesID=659&EID=13790&txtModelID=3023
but tripplite just doesn't look as nice
and doesn't have the reputation of APC
i'm a fan of APC products, been very reliable for me
hmm Tripplite
yea I'd stick with APC
yeah, look, the one i was looking at that has the right output: http://www.provantage.com/apc-sua3000r3xlnetpkg~4AMP91R1.htm
$1402.61 on Provantage
which isn't *too* bad
the tripplite is about $1000 on Provantage
so the savings would be $400, not too much if there were *any* problems with the tripplite
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/534049-REG/APC_SUA3000RMXL3U_Smart_UPS_XL_3000VA_RM.html
bought my Nikon D300 from B&H
why not a UPS
iiinteresting
ouchie, $220 to ship
it *is* heavy
Provantage wants $188 to ship
yea
Provantage doesn't charge tax, which is nice
I'd go with the white glove in home action
LOL
i've had customers ship me stuff with FedEx White Glove
trucks
entire cabs
it was awesome, they do *everything*
"everything"
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842101177
no twist lock outputs
http://www.lacc.com/product.asp?pf_id=SUA3000RMXL3U-R&gkw=SUA3000RMXL3U-R&gad=CMmoy6ADEgjAzwOV645uHRiX_r3-AyDRkIA6
ah I change models ?
yeah
SUA3000R3XLNETPKG
http://www.lacc.com/product.asp?pf_id=SUA3000R3XLNETPKG%2DR
no pick
but referb is sure cheaper
*refurb
seems like this is not an area to go with refurb
srsly
up_the_irons, let me know how fast yours goes
mine is still in the 30's
upper 20's, low 30's, to build
but im doing a slightly lesser kernel, no wifi and shit
oh yeah
maybe it's just my kernel or qemu-kvm and stuff
im running git version
     1088.33 real       890.37 user       132.80 sys

i'm only runing one
are you running it with qcow
