having* drive*
i tried grub-install --recheck /dev/vda
no dice
anyone?
whats up guys?
I brought an adv here
hm
Hey guys, how long does it usually take to switch you VPS to a new image
?
going from gentoo to freebsd
I've never tried but my guess is that it happens overnight.
Anyone on willing to test a theory with vnc of mine?
what you need
a girl
heh
jeev: You mind if I message you?
DON MESSAGE ME OR DIE
just kidding, sure
IM A GAY
IM A BISEX
AND I LOVE OBAMA
lol?!
what the hell
jeev: What?
kaka..
Yeah, was just leaving that for the ops
hey, any suggestions on legit torrents i could seed?
something that's heavily downloaded
Try some distros
yea i know
i only believe in freebsd and slackware
i wont distribute anything like ubuntuard
http://torrents.freebsd.org:8080/ < That help?
i've been seeding that for months
There really aren't too many legit torrents.
:/
bbl
none of you guys have a junos router handy, do ya?
not i
i found one
neato
need to try out this exploit
Found a Junos router ... reminds me of http://www.bash.org/?5273
it's not production, is it?
I've never used a virtual server before, but can a game server succesfully run on one or is the low-latency cpu scheduling involved a lost cause?
hey pc600
hey
dunno if garry's around or not.  if you shoot him an e-mail he'll likely get back to you pretty quick.  support@arpnetworks.com
jlgaddis - Have you ever used one of their virtual servers?  I lost my free colo and need a solution :)
pc600: yep, my web site is on one of 'em.
since a few weeks ago, anyway.  dunno how the gaming stuff might work out since i don't game, but i can't bitch.
If anyone is around, where are vps instances hosted?  East or west coast?
LAX
wilshire annex
jlgaddis - Well if can run VoIP (asterisk) worth a damn, that would be another good test :)
jlgaddis: Thanks
jlgaddis - Hell, youv'e got a box?
yeah
jlgaddis - Probably even an iperf-style test is ebtter than nothing :)
or for $20 I might just try it...
wget http://arpnetworks.com/100mb.bin
yeah, not very good for picking up the jitter type stuff.
as 25795 is them
native v6 too =)
hehe
I'm sure the network side is fine, I'm just curious how the virtualization holds up
For stuff that's pissy about prompt cpu scheduling (VoIP, game servers, etc).;
yeah, nfi.  i'm more of a network guy than a server guy =)
I'm just going to buy one they have a 30 day money back guarantee :)
No SuSE :(
Ohh well
tell garry i sent ya =)
btw, he usually sets things up at night (his time) and i know he's doing some maintenance tonight about 1am pst, so he'll probably have ya set up in a few hours if you order tonight
jlgaddis - which website is yours?  evilrouters?
yeah
what package did you get?  $20/special?
yeah, the one in /topic
It lets me order the special with linux
I wonder if they'll honor it :)
i'm sure he will, my coworker signed up too and his is linux
ahh looks like they make steam for freebsd, so that might be an option
The only diff is 100gb vs. 200gb.
It's amazing how bandwidth is practically free.
anymore...
It's all about location.
cogent drove prices down with their shitty bandwidth =)
hehe
Seriously, at $20/mo, I don't expect much more than a place to dump a website :)
But you're right on the B/W
The trick on B/W is still transit/last-mile to non datacenter locations
The costs for commercial connectiosn is still crazy.  And it's all local loop
Well at least up_the_irons has a decent connection to the Internet
bleagh sendmail is a pain
cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix && make install clean
eh?
agreed with jlgaddis
postfix > sendmail
i used to edit sendmail.cf manually back in the day.  i don't miss that a bit.
I've at least got a little experience with sendmail
postfix is a breeze
Heh figured out what seems to be my problem. It doesn't like my mx record. Not sure why.
error message?
553 5.3.5 arenhost.net. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
also 554
ahh, that's in the sendmail faq =)
sendmail doesn't know it's the mx host, iirc
bleagh, thought I had set that up already.
now just two things left with mail that I want to do
1) require reverse dns 2) enable greylisting
?
No, have it so that arenlor@arenhost.net and arenlor@arenhost.info are both different (not even sure where to begin) and have it so that *@arenhost.net gets redirected to a catch-all account.
step 1. remove sendmail
step 2. install postfix
Is postfix honestly any easier to configure?
yes, very much so
yep, and when you start screwing with virtusertable to do what you want, you'll agree
It doesn't seem that bad actually.
Wait, should have cleared this up before-hand, I do C and PHP. I'm use to ugly retarded situations that give me ultimate power.
haha
makes complete sense now
"vi sendmail.cf" and scroll about halfway down through the 35k file =)
you'll be right at home
I prefer nano actually, never got comfortable with vi nor emacs
I think I remember reading something a while back about up_the_irons performing maintenance tonight?
he emailed me this morning and said he needed to make a change that'd affect me
i don't know the extent of what he's doing
