[01:15] *** au has joined #arpnetworks [01:15] hello! are there any vps slots available? [01:26] au: yes [01:26] but i have pre-orders to do [01:26] new server is almost ready [01:26] the pre-orders go first [01:29] ah, a friend of mine is after vps for an ssh tunnel for wow (less latency) which requires a vps in la. just checking if you had any slots at the moment [01:29] thanks for letting me know :) [01:30] au: yeah shouldn't be a problem [01:30] au: how does the ssh tunnel reduce latency though? i mean he's still playing from his localhost... [01:32] ah we're located in Australia and the server is in la, it's much less latency from home -> arp -> wow. in tracert, there's much more hops+latency [01:34] au: ah OK [01:34] would you be able to do a tracert for me and pastebin it? [01:34] au: sure [01:34] au: i also want to see your traceroute to me :) [01:34] okay, one moment [01:35] i'm envisioning a whole new market... "Reduce WoW latency, get a VPS!" ;) [01:35] 12.129.225.103 is the wow server ip [01:35] uh sec my wireless modem has tracert blocked [01:35] have to hop onto main network, brb [01:36] ok [01:40] http://pastebin.com/jb3cYbZV [01:42] telstra and reach, interesting [01:42] au: you want me to traceroute back to you? [01:43] for wow server and back, please :) [01:45] au: http://pastebin.com/dU18CR6s [01:46] can you please ping mdf001c7613r0003-gig-10-1.lax1.attens.net a few times for me?

[11:48] *** sdf has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [11:48] aem: i think there's a bit of a waiting queue but i don't think it's that long [11:48] tyour best bet is to ask up_the_irons [11:48] your * [11:50] thanks [11:54] np [11:55] aem: if there is a wait, it's worth it [11:55] yeah, definitely worth the wait :) [11:56] my company is renting two right now and they're both great, we came from vpslink which was a pretty bad experience from the start [11:56] faster servers, better pricing, better support, more customization [11:57] much more redundant too, we had so many outages with vpslink because their network would go down or power would go out [12:09] * fink loves his zfs freebsd vps [12:12] oooh, zfs on vps is a good idea [12:13] whenever i've played with zfs on freebsd i've ended up killing hardware ;/ [12:13] i'm using zfs on one of our freebsd vps too [12:13] bob^^: weird, although the psu did go in my freebsd zfs fileserver... but that was due to the moisture in the air [12:14] i'm sure it was just co-incidence :) [12:14] yea [12:14] first time i applied it on top of a hardware raid card (raidz) and i lost/killed two disks [12:14] the controller wouldn't talk to them anymore [12:15] bob^^: cosmic rays?? [12:15] hah :D [12:15] you never know :) [12:17] wait, you can do hardware raid z? [12:18] no - was using a dell 2850 with perc controller [12:18] had to set it up with each disk as it's own 'array' [12:18] and then applied raidz over the top of that [12:19] pull out a disk, push it back in, disk gets rejected forevermore :) [12:19] ouch [12:20] tbh i think it's more to do with the perc controller [12:20] they can be, um, 'sensitive' :) [12:20] shame they can't export each drive natively to the OS :( [12:20] :( [12:48] *** mike-burns has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [12:49] *** mike-burns has joined #arpnetworks [12:49] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o mike-burns [12:49] ARPNetworks: more reliable than Freenode.
