ersoy: I saw your page in google directory
I want to vps
mike-burns: In short, http://arpnetworks.com/vps and you can do everything via the Web.
ersoy: i want debian lenny, i do not want the control panel
ok
When the system is activated?
mike-burns: ASAP; as soon as up_the_irons does it.
ersoy: can i use iptables on vps?
mike-burns: That's the Linux competitor for pf right?
ballen: yea linux's default firewall
mike-burns: If so, yeah go ahead. If you want your system to be monitored you need to allow one IP to ping it.
ballen: ersoy: you can do anything you'd be able to do on your own local box
mhoran: ersoy: You can basically run anything.
You get root, it's your box, do what you'd like. :)
ersoy: sorry i dont know *bsd
mike-burns: ersoy: Do anything with your packet filtering, but allow 208.79.89.243 to ping it.
ersoy: Some system administrators do not allow iptables on vps
asked for it
thanks
how can i set rdns ?
control panel or named ?
***: nerdd has quit IRC (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
mike-burns: You have to email support@ for rdns, currently.
(Note:I haven't looked at the control panel in months.)
mhoran: For a single rDNS entry, mail support@.
ersoy: and and finish
do you have ddos protection on your systems
mhoran: up_the_irons will allocate rDNS for larger blocks if necessary.
mike-burns: I know of no DDoS protection.
ballen: ersoy, ddos will likely be a on response support issue.
in general do all you can to avoid such things from happening though
ersoy: what is the baklava mean?
ballen: isn't baklava a greek dessert
ersoy: yes turkish dessert :)
credit card problem is not from turkey?
jeev: are you planning on getting any ddos?

looks like Theo posted that semi-rant today...

de-troll!

up_the_irons: 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

ballen: oh i guess the chanserv one worked too ;)
ballen: ah forgot to add the channel
up_the_irons: so if rackspace had a power outage, god help us...
ballen: yea rackspace has been having some issues
up_the_irons: 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
ballen: yea damn things as somewhat expensive though
up_the_irons: right
and I'm paying a lot for UPS power already
N+1 redundant and all that stuff
ballen: so I got an epic downtime notice today at work
up_the_irons: but still
ballen: warning me of a downtime of 50 milliseconds
up_the_irons: 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?
ballen: yea true
up_the_irons: UPS = local rack UPS
ballen: yea, enterprise wide
telco and all
up_the_irons: wow
but still... 50 ms
ballen: yea not worried about it
at all
up_the_irons: haha
ballen: thats less time then typical round trip
of a single packet
up_the_irons: yeah
ballen: thought it was funny though
up_the_irons: 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
ballen: yep
silly
the cloud needs a good catchy term for when it crashes
whats the antithesis of "THE CLOUD"
visinin: cloudburst
bahahaha
ballen: hmm
up_the_irons: ballen: what makes clouds go away?
visinin: i find that a lot funnier than i think it actually is
up_the_irons: dryness?
ballen: high pressure
up_the_irons: DROUGHT
***: nuke has quit IRC (Nick collision from services.)
up_the_irons: HIGH PRESSURE
ballen: drought is more antithesis of water/rain
up_the_irons: HIGH PRESSURE COLLISION
***: nuke^ has joined #arpnetworks
ballen: not catchy enough
up_the_irons: ballen: right, but if it is dry, there's little moisture in the air, so clouds don't form, no?
ballen: true, thinking common mass media mindset here
something that would really stick
up_the_irons: "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
ballen: heh
up_the_irons: actually, 99.9% uptime still leaves room for like an hour a month, doesn't it?
-: up_the_irons breaks out bc
ballen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability
8.76 hours
a year
which I think they're still under
up_the_irons: 43.2 minutes a month, by my calculation
ballen: yep
for 30 day months
up_the_irons: i can see why google does away with centralized UPSs, and just battery backs the individual server
right, 30 days
ballen: 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?
jeev: i've gotta find out why it's taking 27 minutes for me to build kernel on my kvm box vs 19 on arp
ballen: because the ARP box is faster?
up_the_irons: jeev: what command exactly you using to build your kernel?
jeev: 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
***: dbgi2 has quit IRC ("Leaving")
up_the_irons: 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 raises fits at Linux
ballen: up_the_irons, was kidding six nines of downtime is a crazy goal
like 32 seconds in a year
up_the_irons: jeev: i'm trying that on my new box, let's see
LOL
ballen: 99.9999%
a common "idea" around the dot com bust
up_the_irons: 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
ballen: hmm
can you do 208v?
jeev: what you running on the new box
ubunti?
ballen: 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
up_the_irons: 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
ballen: hmm lame
up_the_irons: 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
jeev: i'm so annoyed
ballen: yea networked
bumps the price
jeev: just get the old school AP9616's
hahah
or whatever they were
that what i use and will always use
ballen: yea 120v is lame

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
ballen: hmm Tripplite
yea I'd stick with APC
up_the_irons: 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
