nuke`console one [14:08]
coil_is there any way to tell which host machine you're on?
my vps locked up yesterday
so i wonder if our problems are related, nuke
[14:11]
RandalSchwartzmaybe by a traceroute
first hop up is the host OS
[14:13]
coil_hmm, i'm in single user mode right now so i can't find out just yet
im buildworld'ing right now
[14:13]
nuke`i can ping it
Average time over 10 pings: 51.6 ms
its where nukeAFK is
but is always ping out
[14:16]
RandalSchwartzactually - yeah, the console IP is probably related to the machine it's on [14:21]
coil_i use 208.79.88.69
to vnc in
* Dns resolved 208.79.88.69 to kvr04.arpnetworks.com
hmmm
[14:22]
nuke`mine is kvr02 [14:22]
coil_ahh ok [14:22]
***zeepk4ever is now known as pakistanb
pakistanb is now known as pakistanblade
[14:23]
coil_well ill shoot an email off to support [14:23]
***pakistanblade is now known as BarberRonny [14:24]
dxtrCrap. I need a new hdd :( [14:28]
nuke`i did it a couple of hours ago [14:28]
dxtrHmm
Can't one get an entire directory with sftp?
[14:40]
coil_-r ? [14:41]
RandalSchwartzrsync :)
frankly, I stopped using sftp long ago
and even before that, I never realized cp had -r because I had grown used to using rsync for all that
much more versatile
*and* restartable
[14:43]
DaCait got alot better in recent openssh, including finally filename-completion
but indeed, rsync is the best
[14:44]
dxtrMight start using that more [14:45]
RandalSchwartzrsync -avxP host:/path/to/there/ /path/to/here/ [14:47]
dxtrHoly crap! -P is just plain awesome
I love you, RandalSchwartz
I'll start using rsync to copy files between disks :P
Is it available on vanilla Mac OS X (Leopard)?
[14:51]
.... (idle for 19mn)
RandalSchwartzyea
and on OSX add -A to copy resource fokrs
I think it's -A
oops -X
[15:11]
dxtr:P [15:12]
RandalSchwartzso with -X you can accurately clone all mac files
including resource forks
[15:12]
dxtrJust asked because my girlfriend got a mac and we transfer much data to each other [15:12]
RandalSchwartzI regularly clone folders of uh, mixed origin using that [15:13]
dxtrHmm.. btw, in emacs
How do I unset a mark?
[15:14]
RandalSchwartzThere's probably a better way, but I just hit ^G
that seems to clear it
[15:16]
dxtrAwesome
It even worked in firemacs :D
Oh yeah
C-g - resets the mark
[15:16]
RandalSchwartzI think I just learnedearly on that ^G means "abort!"
ahh, so it's literally the right thing :)
[15:17]
dxtrIsn't ESC-ESC-ESC "Abort!"
?
At least that's what I've read on the internet
[15:18]
RandalSchwartzno - that's to cut out of the minibuffer
^G will abort running loops
speaking of which... time to upgrade emacs to 23.2
soon as it's built, I gotta leave for a few minutes. :)
by the way, if you haven't played around with Tramp and Eshell in emacs, you're missing out
^x ^f /otherhost:/path/to/file RET
[15:20]
dxtrWho are you calling a tramp? :) [15:25]
RandalSchwartzok - back in a few minutes I hope [15:27]
***RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks
[15:27]
RandalSchwartzin theory, now on 23.2
mailcrypt is broken though
I need to figure out why
Hmm. upgrading emacs must've uninstalled it :)
I'm not using it anyway
so are new registrations still frozen?
I heard that from some other list today
ahh. says so on th epage
[15:31]
dxtrhehe [15:34]
RandalSchwartzthe original batgirl turned 73 today
she was also the green-skinned orion girl on the insane-asylum planet
on star trek
[15:36]
dxtro
Does it seem like a good idea to keep all my important backups on an encrypted sd card?

dxtrCrap. Sometimes I kind of dislike that my english sucks. "... my girlfriend (which by the way...." sounded awesome in my head... Until someone commented it and said that my girlfriend is definitely a "who". A big "meh", face palm and some embarassment for that :P [15:53]
nesteaits worth it [15:53]

nesteaup_the_irons: he is my buddy ;x [15:55]

RandalSchwartzit's good to be a victim of your own success [15:55]
up_the_ironsnestea: i figured :) [15:56]
nesteaspits: preorder@arpnetworks.com [15:56]
RandalSchwartzthis is a guarantee that ARP will be around next month :) [15:56]
up_the_ironshaaha [15:56]
nesteayeah these guys are out for the gusto! [15:56]
RandalSchwartzif up_the_irons could configure a box for you in 15 minutes, I'd worry
backlog is good
[15:56]
dxtrup_the_irons: Not going into detail if it's too sensitive - but you must make a fortune out of this. You're cheap but people are like vultures for your services :P [15:57]
RandalSchwartzare you having to get racks in a new building yet?
or are they all still in the same walking area?
the building depicted at the beginning of SouthLAnd :)
[15:57]
up_the_ironsdxtr: LOL. this business is hardly a get rich type of thing ;) my hardware costs are insane
RandalSchwartz: all in the same walking area
[15:58]
RandalSchwartzyeah - he buys stuff for us at $50k a pop, then gets $500 a month for ... 100 months. :) [15:59]
dxtrup_the_irons: I hope for heavens sake that you make a decent living out of it [16:00]
RandalSchwartzI suspect he's not flying a private jet, but I bet he's not eating ramen [16:00]
dxtrI don't have the silghtest clue to how many customers he's got so I'm kind of guessing [16:01]
RandalSchwartzat least 3. :) [16:01]
AndrewBChahah [16:01]
up_the_ironsLOL [16:01]
AndrewBCif I had to hazard a guess, I'd say 4 times however many usually are in this channel as a bare minimum
We'll see how ridiculous that is
[16:02]
RandalSchwartzI'm guessing actually only about 1/10 of the customers might be regulars here
IRC isn't a usual thing
[16:03]
up_the_ironsdxtr: I don't make a living at all out of it, i have a day job ;) was discussed a while back: http://irclogger.arpnetworks.com/irclogger_log/arpnetworks?date=2009-08-12,Wed&sel=53#l49 [16:03]
AndrewBCHm, that's true [16:03]
dxtrBut I've never seen a place like this where people are actually like vultures (That's not necessarily a bad thing!) and the admins have to set up a pre-order list
Aaah! I've actually thought that (No.. I don't think about this on the way to and from school..)
[16:03]
***RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [16:04]
up_the_ironsIRC growth is like reverse logarithmic. grew a lot at first, but as a channel gets "fat", people tend to not care to stay around. it's like when communities get too big, they cease to have the "small community" feel [16:05]
dxtrYeah, like Randal just left [16:05]
up_the_ironsdxtr: http://www.prgmr.com/xen/ has a pre-order list
they are always sold out
[16:06]
dxtrI said *I'VE* never seen :) [16:06]
up_the_ironsdxtr: just sayin :) [16:06]
dxtrHehe. but seriously, the cheapest vps' here costs the same for half the performance
And then they are run on openvz or some crap
[16:06]
***RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks [16:07]
RandalSchwartzugh... my new emacs isn't hitting my IMAP correctly [16:07]
dxtrLike my last provider; I couldn't set the clock (So ntp was out of the question), no ip6tables (But they had native ipv6 connectivity) and if I wanted to run any BSD I'd have to pay like $50 each month because they ran it on vmware
"License stuff"
I raged so I popped a vein on my forehead
[16:08]
up_the_ironsLOL [16:09]
AndrewBCup_the_irons, funny you linked that. I fired off an email to them so they would let me know when they have openings. That must have been over 6 months ago. I haven't gotten any replies after the initial conversation. [16:09]
up_the_ironsand that's why you're here [16:09]
dxtrYeah [16:09]
up_the_ironsAndrewBC: o'rly? interesting [16:09]
AndrewBCYeah, I don't know if I fell through the cracks or what, but oh well. [16:10]
up_the_ironsAndrewBC: i had a sneaking suspicion that they are simply sitting on what they got, instead of getting more hardware [16:10]
RandalSchwartzup_the_irons - do you know Alex Teslik [16:10]
AndrewBCOh that makes sense, when your profit margin is really slim, getting more hardware can be pretty scary. [16:10]
up_the_ironsAndrewBC: their prices are even lower than mine, i actually don't see how they could even afford hardware; it must take a while for them to make up their cost
RandalSchwartz: no
[16:11]
dxtrup_the_irons: Do you think there's a possibility an earth quake (Or something) will move LA to the east coast so I will get better ping times to the VPS?
because that's the only thing I.. Dislike is the wrong word. Like less :P
[16:11]
RandalSchwartzhe's one of the leads of disney animation
local guy
disney tv mostly
[16:11]
AndrewBCup_the_irons, yeah they're insanely cheap. Makes me wonder what would happen if disaster struck them, you know? [16:11]
up_the_ironsdxtr: i hope my building is pretty earthquake resistant ;) [16:11]
RandalSchwartzthen again, working for disney here means you're one of 50,000
people used to do that to me working at Tektronix in Portland
[16:11]
up_the_ironsRandalSchwartz: i work for a small subsidiary of Disney, so I don't end up meeting a lot of the people that work direct w/ Disney [16:12]
RandalSchwartz"oh you work for Tek... you must know..." [16:12]
dxtrup_the_irons: I'm not saying anything should be destroyed. Just shaken to the east coast. Preferrably scandinavia but that's stretching it [16:12]
up_the_ironsyeah srsly, disney is HUGE
dxtr: haha
[16:12]
***spits has quit IRC (Quit: ircN 8.00 for mIRC (20080809) - www.ircN.org) [16:13]
RandalSchwartz... The Disneyland Resort supports 65700 jobs in southern California
and that's just the resort :)
Oh - edgar sec filing says 150k in socal
there we go
[16:13]
dxtrI kind of face palmed when I read LA in the beginning. I was like "Fuck yeah! The right side of the US too!", check map, ".... Oh well" [16:14]
RandalSchwartzit's like .ca vs .ca.us :)
quite a bit of difference
[16:15]
dxtrRandalSchwartz: Do you know on wich coast Göteborg is? :P
Don't google it
[16:15]
up_the_ironsdxtr: lol [16:16]
dxtr(Gothenburg in english btw) [16:16]
RandalSchwartzit's on the Göte coast! [16:16]
dxtrWat? :D [16:17]
RandalSchwartzYou know, next to the... Börg coast! [16:17]
up_the_ironslol [16:17]

RandalSchwartz"formerly a town in the DMZ between Göte and Børg, this little peacful village is now a thriving metropolis!"
RandalSchwartz edits the wikipedia entry as we speak
[16:18]
dxtrHaha [16:19]
RandalSchwartz"inhabited entirely by people who have no normal vowels in their name, headed by Svén and Ølly Jürgens as co-commissioners..." [16:20]
dxtrJürgen sounds german
:(
[16:22]
RandalSchwartzit's all the same! [16:22]
dxtrHaha [16:22]
infraredheh [16:22]
RandalSchwartzyou think Svén is a swedish name? [16:22]
dxtrSven, but still
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sven
[16:23]
RandalSchwartzSure. but with the little spanish accent? [16:23]
dxtrHaha [16:23]
RandalSchwartz"my name, although one syllable, will be pronounced with more stress than the rest of the sentence" [16:23]
dxtrI remember when I used to play games and talked a lot with americans that had a hard time grasping å, ä and ö :D
"How is that even pronounced!? a-with-two-dots!?"
[16:24]
RandalSchwartzwell - every language has 40 phonemes, so I'm sure there's a few that we have that you have trouble with
we just use the language of God... ASCII
[16:24]
dxtrHehe [16:25]
RandalSchwartzif it was good enough for God in the King James Bible, it's good enough for us. [16:25]
dxtrCyrillic Å“

Speaking of wich; have you never heard a swede speak english?
It sounds horrible
And I admit it - I sound horrible too
[16:25]
RandalSchwartzif it's a girl, it doesn't matter. :) [16:26]

egah
new CGI::Fast
ugh ugh
h1/h4
you have no sense of levels :)
h1 should be over h2
not h4
[16:45]
dxtrActually when I hacked it together it was more "This is the correct size.. I'll fix it later"
But I never fixed it
[16:47]
RandalSchwartzyeah - don't pick header level by size
that's... wrong
[16:47]
dxtrHehe
I know. But it wasn't supposed to be seen by anyone else but me. But then I never fixed it and people started browsing my public dir ;)
But hold on for a second now
aaah
Now I see it
print h1($title),h2(),h3(),h4(time_strftime(....)); <- Quick fix :D
[16:47]
RandalSchwartzno no
wrong
no and wrong
[16:50]
dxtrI was kind of joking
You know... a joke?
:)
[16:50]
RandalSchwartzdoesn't translate
jøke? :)
[16:51]
dxtrYeah, kind of
But don't bash the html. I hate it and would rather have nothing to do with it
Bash the perl instead :)
[16:51]
RandalSchwartzI already did
"new CGI::Fast"
wrong
wrong wrong
[16:52]
dxtrIt is? [16:52]
RandalSchwartzyup
you should write "CGI::Fast->new"
indirect object notation is harmful
[16:52]
dxtrhttp://www.perl.com/doc/manual/html/lib/CGI/Fast.html [16:53]
RandalSchwartzthen the manual is wrong
you should read perl docs instead
[16:53]
dxtrJust sayin' :) [16:53]
RandalSchwartzindirect object notation was cute for about two years
and CGI::Fast isn't core
so don't blame the core
blame the third party
[16:53]
dxtrI'm not blaming anything here [16:54]
RandalSchwartzsure you are
"It is?"
instead of just "ok, lemme fix it"
so you're looking to place blame
[16:54]
dxtrAt first I was fishing for an explanation [16:55]
RandalSchwartzswedish fishing! [16:55]
dxtrAnd then I just said "I just read it here. Please don't hurt me", kind of :P [16:55]
RandalSchwartzyes - all elements of assigning blame [16:56]
dxtrAt least I didn't actively (conciously) try to blame anyone! [16:56]
jdoejdoe blames up_the_irons [16:57]
RandalSchwartzRandalSchwartz blames dxtr's parents [16:58]
dxtrRandalSchwartz: Fixed it now o/ [16:58]
jdoejdoe blames perl [16:58]
RandalSchwartzNo no. Perl is sacred
Perl is good
Perl can only be abused by humans
but in its pure form, it is holy
[16:58]
jdoeRandalSchwartz: when you give people 3 billion ways to write something, I don't think you get to complain when most are wrong ;)
haha. Concur.
[16:58]
RandalSchwartzand it's a good thing Perl doesn't give people 3 billion ways [16:59]
AndrewBCthat sounds more like the ruby mantra [16:59]
RandalSchwartzLarry has been quoted as saying "sure, a few ways to do something, but 10? that's crazy"
when someone suggested a few more variations for something
so yes, Larry is sane
and even so, Larry is sure that each way to do something is *optimized* for some aspect of it
not jsut pure syntax fluff
[16:59]
jdoein a brief moment of seriousness, I have nothing against perl. I love perl. I hate CPAN, but I love perl. [17:00]
dxtrRandalSchwartz: Check it now! [17:00]
RandalSchwartzhate CPAN?
it's the saving throw of Perl!
nobody else has that
[17:00]
AndrewBCif I were born sooner, I probably would know and like Perl. [17:01]
RandalSchwartzyou mean earlier in the morning? [17:01]
dxtrI actually like cpan [17:01]
AndrewBCNo, I mean sooner than I was born :P [17:01]
dxtrAre we talking hours, AndrewBC? [17:01]
RandalSchwartzyeah, minutes, hours or days? [17:02]
AndrewBCWell, I think I'm as specific as I can be given that this is hypothetical :D [17:02]
RandalSchwartzdecades? [17:02]
dxtrcenturies? [17:02]
RandalSchwartzin the 17th century, you claim "oh, in the 20th century they will invent Perl, and I shall like that then..." :) [17:03]
AndrewBCCaptain's log, year 1: I love Perl soooo much. I carved it out in a cave even though it hasn't been invented yet, and boy is it expressive! [17:03]
RandalSchwartz"there's more than one way to carve it!" [17:03]
AndrewBChahah [17:03]
dxtrDid the egyptians code perl with hieroglyphs? [17:04]
RandalSchwartzthey spoke Perl as a native language!
print "cleo!"; print "other guy!"
[17:04]
dxtrNo, I'm pretty certain that was the romans [17:04]
RandalSchwartzthe romans used python. more orderly indenting
the Huns used TCL
[17:04]
dxtrHorrible
The vikings probably spoke Ook!
[17:05]
AndrewBC"<RandalSchwartz> the romans used python. more orderly indenting" <- genius. [17:06]
RandalSchwartzThe early native americans were the last peoples to actually understand Haskell
The germans used fortran
Brits? COBOL
[17:06]
dxtrHaha [17:07]
***heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) [17:07]
RandalSchwartzAnd the Poles? (too obvious)... RPN [17:07]
dxtrLisp? [17:08]
RandalSchwartzClearly the french
Greece - FORTH... tiny and productive
[17:08]
AndrewBCThe way those parenthesis drape
really gives a nice silhouette
[17:09]
dxtrOh horrible
Have you heard of C-omega?
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/projects/comega/
[17:11]
AndrewBCnothing beats the horrible-ness of MUMPS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS
jump to #Sample_programs for the long and short of it
[17:12]
dxtr:P
Is that actually a language?
[17:13]
AndrewBCyup [17:13]
dxtrAnd that's still used?
That's just... wow... I can't describe the feelings I have right now
I'm devastated
[17:14]
AndrewBCI suppose so, but I don't want to think about that [17:15]
dxtrI think lisp is kind of weird in an awesome way
I feel awesome whenever I get to do something with it (even though I've never done something "real" in it) - but I don't think I'll ever really learn lisp
[17:16]
AndrewBCheh [17:19]
RandalSchwartzMUMPS is still heavily used yes [17:22]
dxtrThat's actually quite disturbin
disturbing
[17:23]
AndrewBCAndrewBC shudders [17:24]
dxtrI should probably go to bed now [17:27]
AndrewBCGnight [17:27]
dxtrGoing up in three hours or so
Oh well, good night/evening/afternoon/morning, etc.
[17:27]
RandalSchwartzgood $localtime :) [17:30]
infraredheh [17:35]
jdoeRandalSchwartz: sorry, was busy elsewhere. My complaint with CPAN is the unreliable quality of the modules (some is great, some is purely non-functional, and some worked once but not anymore...) ... and the fact that every module in CPAN seems to rely on every other module.
... on the other hand, there's a module for everything you want and several things you don't.
so that's awesome.
[17:36]
RandalSchwartzthe latter is an exaggeration
most modules have only 1 or 2 dependencies at most
it's only "do-all" modules like catalyst that go crazy
rarely do I install a random module that requires more than 1 or 2 others
[17:37]
jdoeyeah but it snowballs. [17:38]
RandalSchwartzno it doesn't
FUD
please stop
[17:38]
jdoeit's not THAT uncommon to install something and have it pull in a dependency that in turn pulls in a dependency. [17:38]
RandalSchwartzthere are a few large frameworks
you've installed those
don't paint the rest of the CPAN with that
[17:38]
jdoehaha. XML::RSS is hardly a large framework. [17:39]
RandalSchwartz*most* of the CPAN is fairly small
actually - it needs a lot
XML parsing is actually somewhat complex
and a long ways from Perl's native skills
[17:39]
jdoeparsing text isn't one of perl's native skills? :) [17:39]
RandalSchwartzXML isn't just parsing
you can do it with regex... slowly
[17:40]

RandalSchwartzthe XML modules tend to use expat or libxml2
as they should
and there's where your dependencies come in
both of those are pretty fat frameworks

RandalSchwartzbecause forcing people to change their passwords has been shown to be less safe?
forcing change every few weeks or months was based on raw cracking speed for bad algorithms
now that we don't do that, change only means that people write down their passwords, or pick stupid ones
so it's actually *less* secure to regularly rotate, rather than *more* secure
[19:57]
coil_does anyone know the password for the arpnetworks account ? [20:03]
RandalSchwartzwhat do you mean? [20:04]
coil_well
when i got my vps
there was two user accounts
mango
and arpnetworks
[20:04]
RandalSchwartz"mango"? [20:04]
coil_yes
arpnetworks:*:1002:1002:ARP Networks Maintenance Account:/home/arpnetworks:/bin/sh
[20:04]
RandalSchwartzOh - I erased that :)
I just installed my own machine
[20:05]
cedwardsfinally got FreeBSD on my EeePC working again. [20:05]
RandalSchwartzso there are no accounts that up_the_irons knows on my machine [20:06]
cedwardssomeone smack me next time I want to 'portmaster -af' [20:06]
coil_paranoid much? [20:06]
cedwardsRandalSchwartz: I did the same. I reinstalled from scratch. [20:06]
RandalSchwartznot paranoid
just didn't know how to reset it :)
and I rewrote / to be ZFS
[20:06]
coil_in times like these, this is useful [20:07]
RandalSchwartzso nothing existed from previous
up_the_irons should have a disk with / as ZFS to clone from
since it takes about a half hour to set up
or at least a script I can paste into the console :)
[20:07]
cedwardsRandalSchwartz: yeah. if copy/paste worked better into the vnc window it'd go a bit faster. [20:08]
coil_haha [20:09]
