http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=918849&goto=newpost i spoke to the guy on aim he said he didn't consider arp cause the site was minimal the first time, then he posted this e-sensibility thing this morning Funny. The site being simple and too the point was something I liked. I couldn't get over all the details on the RHS .. nobody else comes close, especially with IPv6 and console access huh toddf, post post? some guy responds saying 'anyone with xen can launch it' on webhostingtalk and the guy signs up with him xen can launch what? it's so funy how people will go with a company that JUST said they'll "try" it freebsd rather than going with a recommendation where i spoke to te guy on aim and told him, i've tested it and it's stable http://arpnetworks.com/vps <-- this is what I'm talking about, you want me to signup with webhostingtalk.com and defend this turf? maybe if I was bored, I'm rather time pressed lately ;-( I don't see anything on the e-sensibility site about dedicated IP's or IPV6... or consol, or what they use... sheesh Place stinks of oversell. I hate pretty sites that don't tell you anything what's the point oh people go to sites for information put information! Information can only cause people not to do something. even worse is if you ask for information and they don't even read what you asked I popped a note on the WHT thread. it pisses me off i even got on AIM and told him and he took someone elses recommendation who JUST installed it on xen no benchmarking, stability testing.. beta nothing sroute, give me something random to talk bout Flashlights. eh i had a crazy crazy flashlight and i lost it i duno i thin i left it in my car when i traded it in for the newer one i was so happy and did it fast cause i had messed up the stereo system in the car, cd was jammed.. didn't want them to see it ;) Nice lol. and so it begins - http://friendfeed.com/artemd/f2a8c77d/heard-about-on-floss-weekly-and-i-wonder-if-they up_the_irons - told ya. :) you're getting a free ad on a 50k-downloaded podcast almost every week now. :) RandalSchwartz: nice :) i'm gonna have to put a sold out sign up unless my new server comes real soon... ;) heh RandalSchwartz: so you are a Southland fan? never seen the show before went because of Bob and Chris, co-workers at yellowbot Southland ? that is the GREATEST SHOW it > 24. RandalSchwartz: ah.. it's a good show. i'm confused why I can only find Season 1 info on their site.. Season 1 already aired on Fox last year well, season 2 started tuesday night up_the_irons, all there is is season 1. so there's not much jeev: their police station is actually the data center irl, i just noticed that the other day yeah - you tweeted that RandalSchwartz, i thought tnt or whatever was airing season 1 and calling it new RandalSchwartz, im pretty sure tnt is airing the same season that fox aired RandalSchwartz: yeah, tried to find season 2 on my DVR, couldn't (dumb). tnt aired all of season 1 during the day and then the first of season 2 that night oh i c oh shiet was it gewd ? it *did* seem they were trying to call season 1 new i LOVE that show. jeev - I saw the hollywood premiere On November 2, 2009, TNT announced it has purchased the rights to Southland's original seven episodes, as well as six completed episodes from what would have been its second season. Southland will begin airing on TNT on January 12, 2010.[5] The station has no plans to change the look of the show, and no additional episodes of the series have been ordered pending an assessment of ratings for the original 13.[6] with many of the actors and the producer Heh, TV. Check out the vid off irssi.org's front page for a laugh. RandalSchwartz, o0o0o, i've been to a ton of premiers, my really good friend knows * either way, southland is the greatest series, i hope it continues if not, i will fund it from my own pocket lol bob and chris shot videos at http://www.southlandtvfans.com/ my videos will be up there soon and my pix heh ... http://www.southlandtvfans.com/2010/01/13/los-angeles-southland-screening-qa-video-part-1 up_the_irons, you got charter ? notice "@merlyn" there. :) oh by the way, Bob is looking at changing hosts, and is liking what I'm saying about arp so you may actually get to host that website soon. :) RandalSchwartz, am i talking too big of southland if i say it's better than 42 ? 24 ? then you can tell people that the picture of the station is also *inside* the station. :) I've never seen 24. and i've seen only the season 2 eps 1 of southland so I don't have a lot to compare cop shows aren't my cup of tea 24 is cool but i'm tired of so many obvious things happening i love cop shows im not into anything reality other than that shit up_the_irons, did you see the wht post RandalSchwartz: host southlandtvfans.com? LOL, that'd be rad jeev: yeah saw the post, meh jeev: 24 is retarded, but i can't stop watching it ;) im tired of people inside the whitehouse and shit making phone calls, orchestrating things but season 7 was just what 9/11 was so it's a good watch if only the dumb population of america would come to understand that things happen for a reason and it's not who they say it is, it'd be a better place cause shit wouldn't happen ;) Sure, what's what Cube is about. up_the_irons: LOL re 24. Ditto here. hear http://twit.tv/floss104 arp mentioned at 4 minutes in women in open source hah! blah you can say that again up_the_irons: don't put out `sold out' put out `order eta: 2 days' etc ;-) you're aware of the 'disable mpbios' stuff, and you have your ssh pubkey setup to ssh to serial console/reboot menu, right? toddf: yes sir How do you set that up? Prael: cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | mail -s "gimme access" support@arpnetworks.com hehe d^_^b: then you should be fine... toddf: trying to find a good vnc client. what os? os x then I can't help; if you use unixy x stuff, I'd recommend ssvnc, it contains resize support why doesn't the crappy finder vnc://blah:5955 work! chicken of the VNC RandalSchwartz: wait, is this the RandalSchwartz ? that's what I was using yes vnc://blah:55 ? wait wait wait what? For VNCish stuff I like TightVNC. But last I heard it lacks any real OSX support. tightvnc doesn't do resize RandalSchwartz: hi :D I did a foreword for that but the main part of the book is brian's RandalSchwartz: FYI dj_goku not that it matters, but we have spoke before. cool RandalSchwartz: you used a different handle, merlin right? I use merlyn a lot, but I'm slowly moving away from that JollysFastVNC RandalSchwartz: how come? is the best ballen_: haha I have it installed :D well - my books are under my real name and my podcasts ballen_: wow, it isn't free :( whaaaa it would be silly to say "merlyn" when I introduce myself :) 39.99 oh wtf I still use merlyn@stonehenge.com for my email though had that for 15 years heh RandalSchwartz: haha, merlyn => 'RandalSchwartz' hehe :) hah: http://failblog.org/2010/01/14/wording-fail/ Oh, that's why your name sounded familiar. First time I ever wrote a program that actually did anything *useful* was after reading the llama book =) nice I am getting some wd0a device timeout writing in my obsd vm. Prael: small world here on irc :) cool woot, just got a Amazon Gold box deal, Dwell magazine for 10 bucks backed up my vm files here goes for an upgrade! I can't decide whether I owe you a beer or if I should blame you for many a sleepness night thereafter. ;) heh I hope my first upgrade goes easily. wonder how hard it would be to write a vnc client... why write one? so many free ones out there. RandalSchwartz: for the mac? that can use non-standard port so I can connect to arpnetworks serial console :) Yeah chicken of the vnc yes - I use it for my arp ZOMG lame, so, what am I missing? remember to subtract 5900 which is the "base" of vnc for example, my port is 6104, so I use 204 it's like X11 uses 6000+N VNC uses 5900+N holy crap! you r0x RandalSchwartz and why that isn't in ARP's instructions, I dunno hehe "some vnc clients use a 5900 offset as a base. you might need to subtract 5900 from the following number" Should put up a wiki so we can add such things the problem is you have to be old-school to know that heh old-school eh dinosaur school haha well here goes the reboot into bsd.rd! good luck what can go wrong really? :) 10:45PM up 101 days, 23:35, 1 user, load averages: 0.08, 0.15, 0.14 ... 8:35PM up 440 days, 13:19, 1 user, load averages: 0.72, 0.86, 0.89 but soon to go away this is my old openbsd box I have been with arpnetworks for 3 months! well at least 3 months, last kernel rebuild. RandalSchwartz: nice, going to fresh install? this is the box on the old host my freebsd box is already running, but not yet given authority I have most things compiled, most things copied, but now comes the fun work of making it all play togheter and then working out the transition plan RandalSchwartz: cool, why are you switching to freebsd? mostly because zfs for / love the root ZFS openbsd doesn't have that and never weill sucks that apple stopped negotiations yep ZFS has some funky licensing Does fbsd support zfs's snapshotting? yep think the only thing missing these days is iscsi :o That's awesome. Will have to look into this. and thats just because FreeBSD is missing a good iscsi target daemon Prael: http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot docs on howto setup zfs root when fbsd gets ZFS block-de-duping, it'll truely be unbeatable ah yea that just hit opensolaris last release correct? I mean, it already has block-copies. that's pretty cool yeah, recent should I get the x*.tgz for openbsd in the upgrade? if you want to build X tools, yes block de-duping a very cool idea dj_goku if you need gui libs, or X11 I don't need it for irssi do I? even if you're headless, you may want to fire up a remote xterm Irssi won't need x libs no idea so yes, if you want an xterm, you need it. oh, I only use this for irc mostly :D well a backup irc client. don't forget if you need xclock ;-) haha Mostly just IRC here too. Was going to run a tor relay with some of the spare bandwidth, but there's a bug with recent openssl and tor. sure is downloading really slow :( Been fixed in tor but it hasn't made it to the ports tree yet =/ I have Terminal.app -> ssh -> screen -> GNU emacs -> irc.el to be here hah ew RandalSchwartz: haha nice RandalSchwartz: you ever try aquaemacs? for a bit then I went back to carbon/cocoa emacs works better for me you would think arpnetworks would have internal openbsd/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/amd64 directory. just use a different mirror openbsd.org is in Canada ballen: arpnetworks is in cali right? yea LA could be the mirror I am using. I am using a cali mirror in Redwood City, CA, USA still slow? redwood city! http://mirror.rit.edu/pub/OpenBSD/4.6 is going 500k or so use buffalo.edu :) find someone on internet2 took 10 minutes for 7800KB to download. dj_goku: you want xbase if you install many ports, including php, which tends to pull in things that requires x libs, xshare for compilation rit.edu == my old school toddf: hrm, alright, hopefully I can stop this and start over hehe rochester near buffalo ctrl +C the best way to stop the download of packages? sorta right? or is that rosseleur yea 45 minutes to the east of Buffalo yeah, I've driven through there at high speeds dj_goku: uh, just let it go rochester - the original place where they make lots of copies :) indeed and make film you can add xbase* xshare* on a 2nd pass Kodak home of xerox and kodak no wait, xerox was somewhere close by no its was Rochester yeah as well as IBM toddf: maybe I will wait until 4.7 in may and add it then :) so rochester is the original of many copes :) copies also Bausch and Lomb seems to be getting faster dj_goku: do you install many ports? that is the criteria you should be using, otherwise you might end up with missing libs you're on the downhill side now. :) toddf: irssi + tmux is all I need currently. portupgrade in freebsd pkg_add -ui !!! portmaster > portupgrade whhhy no depends no ruby i likes ruby ;-) and I have never seen it fuck up perl mods (like I have portupgrade) ah fair enough I'll give it a try almost done with bsd.rd crap, I already had that :( portmaster seems to do a lot more things nicely ballen: I don't really have an opinion on the language (ruby), but it's just extra crap on a server that I don't need I looked at the UI of both yea actually this is good, because portupgrade uses Ruby 1.8 and I use 1.9 for webapps nice Microsoft picture Rnadal Randal* yeah not their first white-paste-y mistake seriously shitty photoshopping RandalSchwartz: wow, Intel shafted you. I don't blame intel I blame the oregon voters for electing the crazy people who believed the telcos that this broad law was necessary toddf: downloads stalled, seems I will have to CTRL + C what happened Randal? RandalSchwartz: ah, I just read what was on wikipedia lightlink.com/fors/ go read. :) Object not found! add www ahhh needs a www www.lightlink.com/fors/ great.. dj_goku: uh, if you control-c in an upgrade, just exit, and it'll start again dj_goku: note that if you have vnc running you can hit a key (f12 ?) to boot from iso .. to get a bsd.rd .. to fix things up ;-) it wasn't getting a ip address not sure why it was trying to do that. booting back into bsd.rd surely you didn't try to dhcp your address.. (I'm not aware arpnetworks does that for customers vm's) I used the defaults for the installer. you said upgrade I haven't ever had issues with boulder (ftp3.*), it is going fine now. defaults would use existing network config toddf: right, but I had to ctrl + C it, and started again # install from prompt but, then it was asking for network, so I just rebooted and started over. what does it use for your dns? wierd that it stalled.. silly people, openbsd devs have made the install/upgrade scripts re-startable, no need to waste time rebooting ;-) RandalSchwartz: thats some messed up shit you had you go through if you backup and install from scratch each update, wow, thats a lot of work a lot of stuff to remember haha I just backup /etc /home and call it good I try for 2 facepalms a day, almost there! 40 minutes left today!! and never once did you think your life might be easier with upgrade? new releases even have 'sysmerge' to make updating /etc easy not until I got a VPS from arpnet :D toddf: takes 10 minutes to backup and reinstall well probably turns into 30 minutes but haha if all goes well I will be doing this more often!! to each their own, I know what takes me less time, I'd never update my laptop if the procedure involved what you prescribe ;-) haha I am still a openbsd newb. Though it is what I have used the longest. since 2.9. thats one heck of a dedicated newb. you have to try to not learn .. to consider yourself a newb after that long ;-) Quitters never win uh oh! downloads are complete!! toddf: I don't want to reboot yet do i? I have no clue what you've done, an install or an upgrade, so ... upgrade you'll have to make that call.. I have finished the upgrade what is all this chitter chatter without me if you followed the prompts, and sets were downloaded, and you're back to the prompt, and it _tells_ you to reboot, well .. Having a party jeev: drats, party's over, the openbsd hater is here crapp!!! amazing fact: openbsd doesn't do all the great things windows does stupid forgot the uh, mpsbos thingy amazing fact: windows is not something to strive for, but something to run away from .. screaming windows is a great thing in my life, for it makes me amazing amounts of monies when people bring in their malfare infested systems malware dj_goku: then hit your ssh menu and reboot toddf, never run *near* windows, you may crash into them and cut yourself s/reboot/reset your vm/ aye ssh menu? 'boot> bsd -c' 'disable mpbios' 'quit' .. login .. as root .. 'config -ef /bsd' 'disable mpbios' 'q' .. dj_goku: I specifically asked above... right I know I forgot. toddf, press f8, go into safe mode and check to see what is running on boot just hard shut it down then right? that menu yeah, aren't there 3 levels, soft, reset, hard ? just do reset, its faster amazing fact: openbsd was named after me oh I just rebooted it from the web looks like it is up and running, going to finish the upgrade. haha it is up and running, not "looks like" toddf: still around? beautiful!, I only have one file left to merge though. actually nevermind toddf: you were right it was easy!! thanks!
