| fink | RandalSchwartz: have you ever been able to boot into single user mode from the boot prompt on your vps? | [07:02] |
| ..... (idle for 24mn) | ||
| how can i boot into single user from the boot loader prompt, on a zfs on root system? | [07:26] | |
| bob^^ | boot -s ?
oh wait, what os? | [07:28] |
| cedwards | I would guess FreeBSD if its zfs? | [07:29] |
| bob^^ | that's the assumption i made too
(though on freebsd isn't there a menu option to boot single user during boot?) i don't often get to see the console of freebsd boxes when they reboot :) | [07:30] |
| fink | thanks guys, tried them both | [07:31] |
| cedwards | I haven't had my account long enough to need to use single user mode, but I would assume it'd be available via VNC or console. | [07:31] |
| fink | boot -s gives me a weird error | [07:31] |
| cedwards | I used VNC yesterday and I seem to remember seeing the boot menu | [07:31] |
| bob^^ | what's the error fink? | [07:32] |
| fink | cedwards: it's weird, the console shows nothing, and vnc gets to this point and apparently freezes: "Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf"
bob^^: just a sec, i'll tell you i'll have to hard restart it networking comes up, but apparently the shell never starts? the console gets to right before MOTD and stop, and vnc freezes at that point i mentioned i can ping it, but not ssh it in | [07:32] |
| bob^^ | hmm, strange
any special ssh config? seems strange that it'd bring up network but not ssh | [07:34] |
| fink | bob^^: unless pf is borked | [07:35] |
| bob^^ | very possible - can you disable it? | [07:35] |
| fink | but that still doesn't explain why vnc & console won't allow me to log in | [07:35] |
| bob^^ | that said, that shouldn't stop you logging in
^^:) | [07:35] |
| fink | ;) | [07:35] |
| bob^^ | at that point, what happens if you hit control + c ?
wondering if something is hanging trying to dns or whatever? | [07:35] |
| fink | bob^^: ok, on hte console, i see dmesg, etc. starting services (sshd, etc.)
gets to starting cron & background file checks, displays the current date and then it should display a username prompt, right? | [07:37] |
| bob^^ | pretty much, yup | [07:38] |
| fink | but it just hangs | [07:38] |
| bob^^ | at that point, press control + c
see if it suddenly jumps back into life | [07:38] |
| RandalSchwartz | boot off the DVD, mount the filesystem, look at the log | [07:38] |
| bob^^ | oh - you haven't got it set to do serial console have you? | [07:38] |
| cedwards | I submitted my pubkey for serial console yesterday, which I ended up using this morning. I'd recommend it. | [07:39] |
| fink | bob^^: i hit ctrl-c, nothing, apparently the console is unresponsive too; no console commands work
weird! | [07:39] |
| bob^^ | if it's set to do serial console iirc this is the point where the kernel shoves everything out the serial port rather than the monitor
could it be something to do with that? | [07:39] |
| fink | RandalSchwartz: right, i was trying to do that, but apparently i can't mount zfs using fixit?
bob^^: console access was working before this reboot, dunno :( | [07:40] |
| bob^^ | assuming you haven't changed loader.conf it shouldn't be that :)
or is it in boot.config bob^^ can't remember you'd know if you'd done it, that's for sure :) | [07:41] |
| fink | and vnc is really weird, it just stops displaying anything after "Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf"
bob^^: right | [07:43] |
| bob^^ | something sounds ill | [07:43] |
| fink | i can get to the boot prompt, but "boot -s" gives me a weird error, i'll try that again | [07:43] |
| RandalSchwartz | sure you can
you mount it the same way you mounted it when you were building it remember to kldload opensolaris and zfs and be sure you set the mountpoint to not be / :) | [07:46] |
| fink | Booting from Hard Disk… // FreeBSD/i386 boot // Default: zroot:/boot/loader
boot: boot -s Invalid format RandalSchwartz: ok i'll try it, thanks | [07:47] |
| RandalSchwartz | zroot or zpool? | [07:48] |
| fink | says zroot | [07:48] |
| RandalSchwartz | Hmm.
oh right I got those confused too zroot is what you get if you do it from those instructions have you *ever* rebooted your box? and if so, what did you change since the last time? :) | [07:48] |
| fink | RandalSchwartz: yes, i've rebooted a couple times | [07:50] |
| RandalSchwartz | did you add some firewall or anything else that would make it hang on boot? | [07:50] |
| fink | RandalSchwartz: just ntp & tun for openvpn | [07:50] |
| RandalSchwartz | how did you add tun? | [07:51] |
| fink | i was screwing around with pf, but it had restarted pf and was not locked out before i rebooted | [07:51] |
| RandalSchwartz | pf might be freezing on boot then
boot from dvd into the fixit shell, mount your disk, and move pf.conf out of the way | [07:51] |
| fink | ok | [07:51] |
| RandalSchwartz | but about tun... :)
how are you creating that? i merely have "dev tun" in my openvpn.conf I don't do anything in rc.conf | [07:52] |
| fink | RandalSchwartz: same here, i just reused a working server config from a 7.2 box
right | [07:53] |
| RandalSchwartz | except openvpn_enable=YES | [07:53] |
| fink | me too | [07:53] |
| RandalSchwartz | ok so that's probably not it | [07:53] |
| fink | i have a feeling it's somethign with ntp, personally | [07:53] |
| RandalSchwartz | it's probably a borked pf
oh? how do you have that? I just have ntpdate_enable=YES, ntpd_enable=YES didn't change anything else, and it just works I'm even using the default ntp.conf :) | [07:53] |
| fink | well i noticed on the console (which gets right up to where there should be a login prompt), that ntp can't resolve the pool servers because dnscache hasn't started yet | [07:54] |
| RandalSchwartz | oh - so you have some dns things too | [07:55] |
| fink | RandalSchwartz: i just changed the ntp.conf to use us servers, that's it | [07:55] |
| RandalSchwartz | I haven't even bothered with that.
the ntp pool is geo-dns | [07:56] |
| fink | RandalSchwartz: in fixit, i start an emergency holographic shell…how do i then access it? | [07:56] |
| RandalSchwartz | so any old instructions to change it aren't needed any more | [07:56] |
| fink | RandalSchwartz: you're probably right, i didn't need to screw with it | [07:56] |
| RandalSchwartz | I only know this because my former client, Ask Bjorn Hansen, operates it. :)
it's not the holographic shell. it's the fixit shell I tried the holographic thing once and it wasn't what I wanted same shell you used to install zfs in the first place | [07:56] |
| fink | ok, dvd shell then | [07:57] |
| RandalSchwartz | then follow step 6 of http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot
then you should be able to say "zfs list" and see your disk there might be something else you have to do... can't remember step 1.6 I mean step 6 of part 1 :) | [07:58] |
| fink | RandalSchwartz: awesome, i think i'm getting somewhere. thanks! | [08:01] |
| RandalSchwartz | this is one feature (of many) that I appreciate about the VPS setup at arp
the fact that I can boot my broken system to poke at it | [08:01] |
| fink | ok now vnc has stopped responding again…the prompt is frozen
this is too weird i loaded the kernel modules, and then bazinga | [08:02] |
| bob^^ | it died when you loaded the module? | [08:04] |
| *** | ziyourenxiang has quit IRC (Quit: ziyourenxiang) | [08:04] |
| fink | ah, i sent a break character, now it's restarting the shell
sorry i false alarm i guess? the shell became unresponsible responsive* | [08:04] |
| RandalSchwartz | I seem to remember also needing to type that LD_LIBRARY_PATH export too
because the shell you're using is linked against the dvd but now you're mounting a new file for / I *do* know there's a way to do this. sorry for not remembering better. | [08:06] |
| fink | RandalSchwartz: i can't even type anything or access my shell, i guess i'll hard restart
this is too weird thanks for your help | [08:07] |
| RandalSchwartz | yes - try export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt2/lib before you kldload
and it might be that zfs is now taking time to ensure the disk is ok or something so boot to the fixit shell, set your library path then invoke the two kldload | [08:08] |
| fink | ok cool | [08:08] |
| RandalSchwartz | at that point, the zfs command should work | [08:09] |

| RandalSchwartz | hey fink | [10:35] |
| fink | i finally got into single user mode! | [10:35] |
| RandalSchwartz | yeah?
what was the trick? | [10:35] |
| fink | i mounted everything with `/sbin/zfs mount -va` or `/sbin/zfs mount -va -o rw`, but when i try to backup my rc.conf, it tells me "Read-only file system"
the trick was restarting from the dvd, and then watching the console; i'm in the console now for some bizarre reason, the console was not responding when starting straight from disk | [10:44] |

RandalSchwartz: i can't figure out how to mount the root part of zfsroot, while in fixit mode 'zpool import -f -R /mnt zroot' just gets me /var & /usr | [11:35] |
| RandalSchwartz | that's a legacy mount
you need to give it a mount point fink - still there? | [11:48] |

now i'm back in single user ;) trying to figure out ed | [11:48] |

| infrared | cedwards: you use dvorak? | [15:03] |
| cedwards | infrared: I do. | [15:04] |
| infrared | why?
i've thought about converting to maybe help with the pain in my hands | [15:05] |
| cedwards | I used to get wrist and hand pain quite frequently. | [15:05] |
| infrared | how long did it take to get comfortable?
and do you program? | [15:06] |
| bob^^ | i'm not sure i could re-train away from qwerty now | [15:06] |
| cedwards | at first I figured I'd switch because a friend was, and he won me over with some technical benefits (mostly numbers and stats).
i have to say though, the #1 reason I use it now is that I haven't had wrist/hand pain in 3yrs since switching! | [15:06] |
| infrared | really?! | [15:06] |
| cedwards | it tooks about 3 weeks to be back to my previous speed on qwerty, and let me tell you it can be a rough three weeks. | [15:06] |
| infrared | i tried for a half hour.. i got so frustrated i couldn't even login :( | [15:07] |
| cedwards | honestly, no more wrist pain and I type at minimum 8hrs a day, every day. | [15:07] |
| infrared | do you program?
i don't like where the { } are on dvorak | [15:07] |
| bob^^ | i was thinking of getting a das keyboard
(the totally blank one) | [15:07] |
| infrared | oh wait { } didn't move (i think) | [15:08] |
| cedwards | I can't rationalize the cost (I have three kids..), but I'd *love* one of those keyboards.
infrared: I don't program, much. I do a good amount of bash scripting and I also teach PHP as a cont. ed course but it isn't my full-time gig. I'm a sysadmin, so its a lot of ssh here and there, commands, etc. | [15:08] |

| litebread | up_the_irons
ty i found it in the blocked folder | [15:09] |

| litebread | yes it did | [15:10] |
| cedwards | particularly on *nix where / and ls are so common | [15:10] |
| infrared | hmm.. up_the_irons, is your PTR set correctly? | [15:11] |
| litebread | i wanted to ask you what the avg setup time is for today? | [15:11] |
| infrared | litebread: for me < 8 hrs i think.. can't remember for sure though | [15:11] |
| aem | its in your email litebread :) | [15:11] |
| litebread | i just have a range of 24-48 | [15:11] |
| infrared | cedwards: while you learned.. do you go back 'n forth to a qwerty to "get work done" ?
heh | [15:12] |
| cedwards | litebread: I think my new account was setup the next day after signing up. It's really not bad.
infrared: no. if you do that you'll never learn. | [15:13] |
| litebread | oh okay ty | [15:13] |

| infrared | typerwriter
hah cute comic | [15:16] |
| cedwards | infrared: I think BSD has it, but I know Linux has a 'gtypist' package which includes a dvorak typing tutor.
infrared: I used that a lot when I was starting out. | [15:17] |
| infrared | cedwards: i use opensuse.. i've used it before | [15:18] |
| cedwards | infrared: you're a sysadmin and use opensuse? thats.. must be an old habit? :) | [15:18] |
| litebread | i cant type on a dvorak at all i have an old sparc machine here with that | [15:18] |
| cedwards | home row - aoeuidhtns | [15:19] |
| infrared | cedwards: opensuse for a desktop? can't go wrong. i'm a freebsd fan for servers, and we use SLES at work | [15:19] |
| litebread | the vowels first | [15:19] |
| cedwards | infrared: I'll agree that suse makes a pretty desktop, but it's all german over-engineering underneath! :) | [15:19] |
| litebread | opensuse is a great desktop | [15:19] |
| infrared | cedwards: better than using RedHat. (at work) | [15:20] |
| cedwards | litebread: all vowels on the left hand and most common consonants on the right hand. | [15:20] |
| litebread | cool
im looking at the one i have here at the house now, i have not checked it out in a while and wow | [15:20] |
| bob^^ | hah, that's a great comic :) | [15:21] |
| cedwards | infrared: I have my problems with Red Hat, but I do have a bit of a bias. I'm RHCT/CE/CI/CX (tech,engineer,instructor,examiner) | [15:21] |
| litebread | it would take me sooo long to adjust | [15:21] |
| cedwards | infrared: we're all centos at work, with a few debian servers mixed in. | [15:21] |
| infrared | cedwards: certifications mean nothing to me. it's what you can prove | [15:21] |
| cedwards | infrared: but I run arch on my laptop, and BSD or debian on my servers. | [15:21] |
| infrared | cedwards: certifications only matter when you're job hunting trying to get past those "HR firewalls" | [15:23] |
| cedwards | infrared: i suppose. i do like the RH exams though. They do try to make it more "real world" than fill-in-the-blanks.
we used to cover suse in our courseware, and I always found it a little overcomplicated. ..but I guess that's why I like Arch. | [15:23] |
| infrared | well, SLES (nowadays) is built on opensuse
it's really nice (for a linux distro) | [15:26] |
| cedwards | man, irssi has too many big depends | [15:29] |
| infrared | irssi is life | [15:30] |

RandalSchwartz: Why would you use your text editor as an irc client? :( | [15:31] |

bah. pidgin is awwful | [15:33] |

| RandalSchwartz | just a geek. :) | [15:35] |
| infrared | infrared prints out a dvorak layout | [15:36] |
| cedwards | RandalSchwartz: must be the Perl stuff. I know I had seen the name somewhere. | [15:36] |
| dxtr | RandalSchwartz: My friend about you: "He must possess a lot of information! Just imagine! Seriously!" | [15:36] |
| RandalSchwartz | not FLOSS Weekly?
you have an odd friend dxtr | [15:37] |
| dxtr | Literally "possess a lot of information" :P
No kidding? | [15:37] |
| cedwards | RandalSchwartz: I grew up in Portland.. but I wasn't a geek by the time I left there, so it couldn't have been that. | [15:37] |
| infrared | RandalSchwartz: what's your cpan username | [15:39] |
| RandalSchwartz | merlyn
it was the very first six-char name | [15:39] |
| infrared | i've seen "stonehedge" somewhere..i think it was in the Moose docs | [15:39] |
| RandalSchwartz | because they had to rebuild the database for me :)
the moose docs refer to my "moose is flying" articles I think | [15:39] |
| infrared | infrared looks | [15:40] |

... http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/LinuxMag/col95.html | [15:40] |
| infrared | ah yes | [15:40] |
| CESSMASTER | so do you still have root on a bunch of intel's machines that nobody knows about | [15:40] |
| RandalSchwartz | which I had to re-read when I had to use Moose for a project last year.
yeah - I re-read my own articles. :) RandalSchwartz ignores the troll | [15:41] |

| cedwards | I've been using FreeBSD jails for a while now and I still get impressed with how efficient it all is | [15:57] |
| infrared | infrared is using dvorak
very slow :( | [15:59] |
| cedwards | you can do it!
infrared: how 'bout this. I'll use qwerty as long as you're using dvorak. infrared: we'll suffer together, but it'll be worth it. | [16:00] |
| infrared | haha | [16:00] |
| cedwards | RandalSchwartz: not to "be that guy" but, emacs? really? | [16:02] |
| infrared | why would you want to do that? | [16:02] |
| RandalSchwartz | eh? | [16:02] |
| cedwards | RandalSchwartz: you mentioned you do everything from within emacs earlier. | [16:02] |
| RandalSchwartz | sure.
one user interface that sits well inside a long running screen session with universal cut-n-paste-n-edit and fully customizable | [16:02] |
| dxtr | RandalSchwartz: I request (demand!) screenshots of this insanity :) | [16:03] |
| infrared | infrared tries to perl in dvorak | [16:03] |
| *** | redbeard_work has joined #arpnetworks | [16:03] |
| cedwards | granted I've never given it a long chance, but the idea that it does *everything* seems kind of opposite the unix philosophy to me. | [16:04] |
| RandalSchwartz | are we talking emacs or Perl here? :) | [16:04] |
| cedwards | lol. emacs | [16:05] |
| dxtr | yeah, emacs | [16:05] |
| cedwards | i'm not trying to troll, I've just never got a straight answer on emacs vs unix philosophy before | [16:05] |
| RandalSchwartz | I don't see them in opposition | [16:05] |
| cedwards | "do one thing and do it well" vs emacs: everything && the kitchen sink | [16:06] |
| dxtr | Do one thing great vs. do everything at once? :P | [16:06] |
| RandalSchwartz | I'm sorry. still don't see it. I'm much more practical than positional.
that's why I'm using OSX. It works better for me. | [16:06] |
| litebread | Im using it as well
could anyone tell me how much it would be for more ram on the vps? | [16:07] |
| cedwards | cedwards admits he's tying from Terminal.app on OSX as well right now. | [16:07] |
| infrared | litebread: its on the site | [16:07] |
| toddf | <-- ancient xterm on openbsd laptop to openbsd colo running irssi over v6 the whole way. wheeeezorz. | [16:08] |
| litebread | sorry infrared i do not see it | [16:08] |
| RandalSchwartz | of course, my FLOSS fanboy friends can't figure out why I'd have an iphone and not an android, and OSX and not pc-bsd on my desktop
to some of them I'm some kind of traitor | [16:08] |
| aem | nice toddf :) | [16:09] |
| litebread | says to contact us for cutomized vps, i found it :) | [16:09] |
| infrared | litebread: its practically on the main page | [16:09] |
| cedwards | toddf: I'm stoked to play with ipv6 on this new vps. haven't gotten around to it yet. | [16:10] |
| toddf | some people (myself included) think floss support is a lifestyle. use something proprietary, you support the other side. others (good friend of mine who loves to rib me all the time) use what works for them regardless of cost or free-ness. its a choice, not a religion. | [16:10] |
| RandalSchwartz | there ya go | [16:11] |
| cedwards | I am so glad I'm over my free-tard stage. | [16:11] |
| toddf | free-tard ? | [16:12] |
| aem | lol | [16:12] |
| toddf | I even tell people to pronounce my last name as 'free software' then 'drop the "oftware"' | [16:12] |
| cedwards | you know. the real free software zealots that will all but tell you you're going to rot in hell for using non-free firmware. | [16:13] |
| toddf | firmware that can be distributed freely that is required for the os to load for the device to work (i.e. most wifi chipsets these days) is one thing
the source to the same firmware is quite another freely distributable firmware should be a given, not a hard fight that happens now and then the source to the firmware, well, have fun firmware is not binary blob drivers for the os, that's another ball of wax if you use binary blobs you're handing the keys to the kingdom to whomever handed you that blob | [16:14] |
| cedwards | at this point, while I generally feel free software is the better solution, using non-free software is not one of the seven deadly sins | [16:16] |
| toddf | no hell involved in any event, clearly a choice of convenience vs freedom and inspectability | [16:16] |
| litebread | infared: thank you, i used the email part of the 'contact page' to inquiry about the extra memory and ips | [16:16] |
| toddf | its a choice, some justify wrongly perhaps, but a choice nonetheless
personally I find it more convenient I can install an os w/out phoning for a license or going through my wallet to get one, but that's just me | [16:16] |
| cedwards | ohh I definitely agree | [16:18] |
| infrared | holy smokes im slow with this | [16:18] |
| cedwards | infrared: keep it up. you're doing great ;) | [16:18] |
| infrared | haha | [16:18] |
| cedwards | teh vast majority of my software is open, but I still break for flash and skype and junk like that | [16:18] |
| infrared | skype++ | [16:19] |
| cedwards | infrared: didn't take you long to type that! | [16:20] |
| infrared | :) | [16:20] |
| cedwards | but hopefully html5 will kill flash. fingers crossed. | [16:20] |

youtube even lets you try out html5 | [16:21] |
| CESSMASTER | but only in evil H.264 | [16:21] |
| toddf | I can play h.264 on any player I have, so at least its not so evil I require binary blobs to play it | [16:22] |

| cedwards | sweet. my Dropbox is now at 8.5G after referrals. | [17:03] |
| infrared | rsync++ | [17:04] |
| cedwards | ohh I use that too, but Dropbox can be very convenient at times.
similarly, one of my fairly recent setups that I really like is tracking my home folder (particularly .dotfiles) in a git repo | [17:04] |
| infrared | inotify -> rsync :)
man if i type this slow at work i might get demoted :) | [17:07] |
| cedwards | for the sake of your job man. keep practicing! | [17:13] |
| is it wrong that I'm already very tempted to pickup a second machine here? | [17:24] | |
| RandalSchwartz | not at all
I've already provisioned 2 thinking of a third (at the $20 rate) just to have a second machine to "play" | [17:24] |
| cedwards | I would love to migrate my linode to FreeBSD here. | [17:25] |
| RandalSchwartz | and freebsd has full linux execution (*not* emulation) | [17:25] |
| cedwards | I've really enjoyed Linode--I'd recommend them--but the availability of FreeBSD is just too tempting (plus, better deal!) | [17:25] |
| RandalSchwartz | so you could probably move most of yoru binaries | [17:25] |
| cedwards | I'm sure I could rebuild it (webserver) on FreeBSD and get better performance. | [17:26] |
| RandalSchwartz | sure
well maybe not *much* better necessarily like I said, not emulation. native calls | [17:26] |
| cedwards | part of my problem is I built 64bit there, but only have 360M. That uses more of my limited memory. | [17:27] |
| *** | schmir has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) | [17:27] |
| cedwards | for the same price I'd get double the RAM and I'd likely build 32bit and get that little bit extra.
I still haven't been convinced of the benefits of 64bit at < 4G RAM. | [17:27] |

| up_the_irons | if anyone is thinking of another vps, get 'em while they are hot b/c at the end of the month i will most likely be sold out; and unlike before when i would just buy a new box, i am going on hiatus for May, b/c LA data center expansion has taken up all resources
probably won't have a new box until mid-to-end of May | [17:41] |

| up_the_irons | aem: ok, you should get it tonight then :) | [17:42] |

| cedwards | up_the_irons: the site says, in regards to the promo, one per customer.
up_the_irons: if I were to get one more, what would the specs be on the second? | [17:58] |
| up_the_irons | cedwards: oh forget that, you can get another if you want | [17:59] |
| cedwards | up_the_irons: even better :) | [17:59] |
| up_the_irons | :) | [17:59] |
| RandalSchwartz | looks like the only difference is 100GB more of b/w
768 / 20 / 100 for $20 instead of 768 / 20 / 200 for the special | [18:00] |
| cedwards | RandalSchwartz: hey, bandwidth is bandwidth. the "currency of the internet". | [18:01] |
| RandalSchwartz | yeah - I don't think I've ever gotten near my limits | [18:01] |
| aem | cedwards: which promo are you referring to if I may ask? | [18:03] |
| RandalSchwartz | arpnetworks.com/vps
the $20 special like insightcruises.com mail/dns is running and soon maybe even web etc | [18:03] |
| cedwards | aem: I guess the extra 100G of bandwidth | [18:04] |
| aem | ah yes of course | [18:07] |
| cedwards | i rarely use much bandwidth either, but I'd rather have extra than not enough | [18:07] |
| RandalSchwartz | I don't think up_the_irons is going to show up at my door if I go over though. :)
at least once or twice. | [18:08] |
| cedwards | at my current host I have currently used: 51.8 GB for the month.
that is pretty well average for me. | [18:09] |
| up_the_irons | up_the_irons sends [FBI] after all bandwidth busters | [18:09] |
| RandalSchwartz | oh cool! | [18:10] |
| cedwards | to be honest, it wasn't clear to me that the bandwidth was the special.
maybe I just didn't read closely enough, but i initially thought it was the storage. | [18:10] |
| RandalSchwartz | Friday and Gannon, at my door!
which of course, dates me. :) since nobody else will :) | [18:10] |
| up_the_irons | Dragnet? | [18:15] |
| RandalSchwartz | yeah - that was fbi wasn't it?
oh maybe not they were LAPD | [18:15] |
| cedwards | cedwards just noticed he doesn't have a bandwidth meter on his panel.
better shoot off to support@ is email or support tickets preferred? | [18:17] |
| up_the_irons | cedwards: they are equivalent | [18:27] |
| cedwards | up_the_irons: thanks | [18:28] |

| *** | fink has joined #arpnetworks | [18:29] |
| litebread | up_the_irons: i had placed an order at 4am PDT, i wanted to know when did i need to do this and how much a ram upgrade would be | [18:41] |
| up_the_irons | litebread: all the prices are here: http://arpnetworks.com/vps
litebread: i generally don't do piecemeal upgrades; so if you want more ram, pick the next highest plan litebread: "when did i need to do this" <-- what do you mean? | [18:44] |
| litebread | add the extra ram, its fine however ive placed my order ill just go with that
i had another question to regarding ips, i noticed 13 was the highest listed, if i needed anoymore than that will they be available after setup? | [18:45] |
| RandalSchwartz | get your customers to connect in v6
you get millions of those. :) | [18:46] |
| aem | ....yeah.
heh | [18:47] |
| litebread | yes i see that you do get quite a few, | [18:47] |
| aem | no, millions.. | [18:47] |
| RandalSchwartz | a /48 | [18:47] |
| aem | lots and lots
ehe | [18:47] |
| litebread | yes indeed | [18:47] |
| RandalSchwartz | 2 ** (128 - 48) :) | [18:47] |
| up_the_irons | litebread: you can upgrade at any time; you can get more IPs than 13 but you'll have to fill out an IP Justification form and comply with RFC 2050 | [18:48] |
| RandalSchwartz | yeah ipv4 is pretty scarce now | [18:48] |
| litebread | up_the_irons: ok thank you
right i think its what about a year left or a little more at the rate they are going | [18:49] |
| RandalSchwartz | I've been playing with miredo | [18:49] |
| up_the_irons | right | [18:49] |
| RandalSchwartz | which lets me tunnel v6 over v4
so I can ssh into my box using v6 | [18:49] |
| litebread | cool | [18:50] |
| RandalSchwartz | host -t aaaa red.stonehenge.com | [18:50] |
| infrared | why do you need 13 ips? | [18:50] |
| coil | vhosts prolly | [18:50] |
| litebread | i will be setting up a few different things
vhosts is actually one of the needs for them | [18:51] |
| infrared | irc vhosts? | [18:51] |
| RandalSchwartz | vhosts don't need it
but SSL does | [18:52] |
| coil | litebread: just use ipv6 for irc vhosts | [18:52] |
| infrared | yes | [18:52] |
| coil | most major irc networks support ipv6 | [18:52] |
| litebread | sorry was afk, coil ty ill do that then | [18:52] |
| RandalSchwartz | most of the world sanely has v6
it's just the US that sucks althogh comcast is rolling out v6 trials 6rd and dual stack soon imagine port knocking in a /48 :) | [18:53] |
| litebread | yeah | [18:54] |
| RandalSchwartz | you could probably even encode a couple of bytes in each icmp packet
IP over ICMP, anyone? :) | [18:54] |

| litebread | hetunnel i like
how about you? | [19:48] |
| cedwards | I don't have a preference. Never really bothered using one before. | [19:54] |
| litebread | yeah
i had to because of this vps i had | [19:55] |
| cedwards | litebread: hetunnel you say? | [20:00] |
| coil | is that the same thing as tunnelbroker.net?
sponsored by he.net? | [20:00] |

let me check coil it is sponser by hurricane electric tunnelbroker.net it is brb guys | [20:04] |

| aem | ;( | [20:22] |
| litebread | oh man | [20:23] |
| cedwards | all the more reason to migrate from the netgear router to a pfsense setup. | [20:24] |
| litebread | yeah thatd be nice | [20:24] |
| cedwards | just need to make sure I can 1) auth to my DSL provider 2) still use the netgear as a wireless AP. | [20:25] |
| litebread | yeah, hopefully everthing works out with that | [20:25] |
| cedwards | that'll be quite the project. definitely going to have to wait on that.
