[14:43] rsync :) [14:43] frankly, I stopped using sftp long ago [14:44] and even before that, I never realized cp had -r because I had grown used to using rsync for all that [14:44] much more versatile [14:44] *and* restartable [14:44] it got alot better in recent openssh, including finally filename-completion [14:45] but indeed, rsync is the best [14:45] Might start using that more [14:47] rsync -avxP host:/path/to/there/ /path/to/here/ [14:51] Holy crap! -P is just plain awesome [14:51] I love you, RandalSchwartz [14:51] I'll start using rsync to copy files between disks :P [14:52] Is it available on vanilla Mac OS X (Leopard)? [15:11] yea [15:11] and on OSX add -A to copy resource fokrs [15:11] I think it's -A [15:12] oops -X [15:12] :P [15:12] so with -X you can accurately clone all mac files [15:12] including resource forks [15:12] Just asked because my girlfriend got a mac and we transfer much data to each other [15:13] I regularly clone folders of uh, mixed origin using that [15:14] Hmm.. btw, in emacs [15:14] How do I unset a mark? [15:16] There's probably a better way, but I just hit ^G [15:16] that seems to clear it [15:16] Awesome [15:17] It even worked in firemacs :D [15:17] Oh yeah [15:17] C-g - resets the mark [15:17] I think I just learnedearly on that ^G means "abort!" [15:17] ahh, so it's literally the right thing :) [15:18] Isn't ESC-ESC-ESC "Abort!" [15:18] ? [15:19] At least that's what I've read on the internet [15:20] no - that's to cut out of the minibuffer [15:20] ^G will abort running loops [15:23] speaking of which... time to upgrade emacs to 23.2 [15:23] soon as it's built, I gotta leave for a few minutes. :) [15:25] by the way, if you haven't played around with Tramp and Eshell in emacs, you're missing out [15:25] ^x ^f /otherhost:/path/to/file RET [15:25] Who are you calling a tramp? :) [15:27] ok - back in a few minutes I hope [15:27] *** RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [15:30] *** RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks [15:31] in theory, now on 23.2 [15:31] mailcrypt is broken though [15:31] I need to figure out why [15:31] Hmm. upgrading emacs must've uninstalled it :) [15:32] I'm not using it anyway [15:33] so are new registrations still frozen?

[15:56] if up_the_irons could configure a box for you in 15 minutes, I'd worry [15:57] backlog is good [15:57] up_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] are you having to get racks in a new building yet? [15:57] or are they all still in the same walking area? [15:58] the building depicted at the beginning of SouthLAnd :) [15:58] dxtr: LOL. this business is hardly a get rich type of thing ;) my hardware costs are insane [15:59] RandalSchwartz: all in the same walking area [15:59] yeah - he buys stuff for us at $50k a pop, then gets $500 a month for ... 100 months. :) [16:00] up_the_irons: I hope for heavens sake that you make a decent living out of it [16:00] I suspect he's not flying a private jet, but I bet he's not eating ramen [16:01] I don't have the silghtest clue to how many customers he's got so I'm kind of guessing [16:01] at least 3. :) [16:01] hahah [16:01] LOL [16:02] if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say 4 times however many usually are in this channel as a bare minimum [16:02] We'll see how ridiculous that is [16:03] I'm guessing actually only about 1/10 of the customers might be regulars here [16:03] IRC isn't a usual thing [16:03] dxtr: 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] Hm, that's true [16:03] But 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 [16:04] Aaah! I've actually thought that (No.. I don't think about this on the way to and from school..) [16:04] *** RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [16:05] IRC 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] Yeah, like Randal just left [16:06] dxtr: http://www.prgmr.com/xen/ has a pre-order list [16:06] they are always sold out [16:06] I said *I'VE* never seen :) [16:06] dxtr: just sayin :) [16:06] Hehe. but seriously, the cheapest vps' here costs the same for half the performance [16:06] And then they are run on openvz or some crap [16:07] *** RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks [16:07] ugh... my new emacs isn't hitting my IMAP correctly [16:08] Like 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 [16:08] "License stuff" [16:09] I raged so I popped a vein on my forehead [16:09] LOL [16:09] up_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] and that's why you're here [16:09] Yeah [16:09] AndrewBC: o'rly? interesting [16:10] Yeah, I don't know if I fell through the cracks or what, but oh well. [16:10] AndrewBC: i had a sneaking suspicion that they are simply sitting on what they got, instead of getting more hardware [16:10] up_the_irons - do you know Alex Teslik [16:10] Oh that makes sense, when your profit margin is really slim, getting more hardware can be pretty scary. [16:11] AndrewBC: 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 [16:11] RandalSchwartz: no [16:11] up_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? [16:11] because that's the only thing I.. Dislike is the wrong word. Like less :P [16:11] he's one of the leads of disney animation [16:11] local guy [16:11] disney tv mostly [16:11] up_the_irons, yeah they're insanely cheap. Makes me wonder what would happen if disaster struck them, you know? [16:11] dxtr: i hope my building is pretty earthquake resistant ;) [16:11] then again, working for disney here means you're one of 50,000 [16:12] people used to do that to me working at Tektronix in Portland [16:12] RandalSchwartz: 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] "oh you work for Tek... you must know..." [16:12] up_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] yeah srsly, disney is HUGE [16:13] dxtr: haha [16:13] *** spits has quit IRC (Quit: ircN 8.00 for mIRC (20080809) - www.ircN.org) [16:13] ...

I'll fix it later" [16:47] But I never fixed it [16:47] yeah - don't pick header level by size [16:47] that's... wrong [16:47] Hehe [16:48] 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 ;) [16:49] But hold on for a second now [16:49] aaah [16:49] Now I see it [16:50] print h1($title),h2(),h3(),h4(time_strftime(....)); <- Quick fix :D [16:50] no no [16:50] wrong [16:50] no and wrong [16:50] I was kind of joking [16:51] You know... a joke?

[16:52] yup [16:53] you should write "CGI::Fast->new" [16:53] indirect object notation is harmful [16:53] http://www.perl.com/doc/manual/html/lib/CGI/Fast.html [16:53] then the manual is wrong [16:53] you should read perl docs instead [16:53] Just sayin' :) [16:53] indirect object notation was cute for about two years [16:53] and CGI::Fast isn't core [16:54] so don't blame the core [16:54] blame the third party [16:54] I'm not blaming anything here [16:54] sure you are [16:54] "It is?" [16:54] instead of just "ok, lemme fix it" [16:54] so you're looking to place blame [16:55] At first I was fishing for an explanation [16:55] swedish fishing! [16:55] And then I just said "I just read it here. Please don't hurt me", kind of :P [16:56] yes - all elements of assigning blame [16:56] At least I didn't actively (conciously) try to blame anyone! [16:57] * jdoe blames up_the_irons [16:58] * RandalSchwartz blames dxtr's parents [16:58] RandalSchwartz: Fixed it now \o/ [16:58] * jdoe blames perl [16:58] No no. Perl is sacred [16:58] Perl is good [16:58] Perl can only be abused by humans [16:58] but in its pure form, it is holy [16:58] RandalSchwartz: when you give people 3 billion ways to write something, I don't think you get to complain when most are wrong ;) [16:58] haha. Concur. [16:59] and it's a good thing Perl doesn't give people 3 billion ways [16:59] that sounds more like the ruby mantra [16:59] Larry has been quoted as saying "sure, a few ways to do something, but 10? that's crazy" [16:59] when someone suggested a few more variations for something [16:59] so yes, Larry is sane [17:00] and even so, Larry is sure that each way to do something is *optimized* for some aspect of it [17:00] not jsut pure syntax fluff [17:00] in a brief moment of seriousness, I have nothing against perl. I love perl. I hate CPAN, but I love perl. [17:00] RandalSchwartz: Check it now! [17:00] hate CPAN? [17:00] it's the saving throw of Perl! [17:00] nobody else has that [17:01] if I were born sooner, I probably would know and like Perl. [17:01] you mean earlier in the morning? [17:01] I actually like cpan [17:01] No, I mean sooner than I was born :P [17:01] Are we talking hours, AndrewBC? [17:02] yeah, minutes, hours or days? [17:02] Well, I think I'm as specific as I can be given that this is hypothetical :D [17:02] decades? [17:02] centuries? [17:03] in the 17th century, you claim "oh, in the 20th century they will invent Perl, and I shall like that then..." :) [17:03] Captain'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] "there's more than one way to carve it!" [17:03] hahah [17:04] Did the egyptians code perl with hieroglyphs? [17:04] they spoke Perl as a native language! [17:04] print "cleo!"; print "other guy!" [17:04] No, I'm pretty certain that was the romans [17:04] the romans used python. more orderly indenting [17:05] the Huns used TCL [17:05] Horrible [17:05] The vikings probably spoke Ook! [17:06] " the romans used python. more orderly indenting" <- genius. [17:06] The early native americans were the last peoples to actually understand Haskell [17:06] The germans used fortran [17:07] Brits? COBOL [17:07] Haha [17:07] *** heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) [17:07] And the Poles? (too obvious)... RPN [17:08] Lisp? [17:08] Clearly the french [17:08] Greece - FORTH... tiny and productive [17:09] The way those parenthesis drape [17:09] really gives a nice silhouette [17:11] Oh horrible [17:11] Have you heard of C-omega? [17:11] http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/projects/comega/ [17:12] nothing beats the horrible-ness of MUMPS [17:12] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS [17:13] jump to #Sample_programs for the long and short of it [17:13] :P [17:13] Is that actually a language? [17:13] yup [17:14] And that's still used? [17:14] That's just... wow... I can't describe the feelings I have right now [17:14] I'm devastated [17:15] I suppose so, but I don't want to think about that [17:16] I think lisp is kind of weird in an awesome way [17:17] 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 [17:19] heh [17:22] MUMPS is still heavily used yes [17:23] That's actually quite disturbin [17:23] disturbing [17:24] * AndrewBC shudders [17:27] I should probably go to bed now [17:27] Gnight [17:27] Going up in three hours or so [17:28] Oh well, good night/evening/afternoon/morning, etc. [17:30] good $localtime :) [17:35] heh [17:36] RandalSchwartz: 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. [17:36] ... on the other hand, there's a module for everything you want and several things you don't. [17:36] so that's awesome. [17:37] the latter is an exaggeration [17:38] most modules have only 1 or 2 dependencies at most [17:38] it's only "do-all" modules like catalyst that go crazy [17:38] rarely do I install a random module that requires more than 1 or 2 others [17:38] yeah but it snowballs. [17:38] no it doesn't [17:38] FUD [17:38] please stop [17:38] it's not THAT uncommon to install something and have it pull in a dependency that in turn pulls in a dependency. [17:38] there are a few large frameworks [17:39] you've installed those [17:39] don't paint the rest of the CPAN with that [17:39] haha. XML::RSS is hardly a large framework. [17:39] *most* of the CPAN is fairly small [17:39] actually - it needs a lot [17:39] XML parsing is actually somewhat complex [17:39] and a long ways from Perl's native skills [17:39] parsing text isn't one of perl's native skills? :) [17:40] XML isn't just parsing [17:40] you can do it with regex... slowly [17:40] *** nukeAFK has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) [17:40] the XML modules tend to use expat or libxml2 [17:40] as they should [17:40] and there's where your dependencies come in [17:41] both of those are pretty fat frameworks [17:51] *** nukeAFK has joined #arpnetworks [17:59] *** nukeAFK has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [18:08] anybody else think this is cool?

[19:57] forcing change every few weeks or months was based on raw cracking speed for bad algorithms [19:57] now that we don't do that, change only means that people write down their passwords, or pick stupid ones [19:58] so it's actually *less* secure to regularly rotate, rather than *more* secure [20:03] does anyone know the password for the arpnetworks account ? [20:04] what do you mean? [20:04] well [20:04] when i got my vps [20:04] there was two user accounts [20:04] mango [20:04] and arpnetworks [20:04] "mango"? [20:04] yes [20:05] arpnetworks:*:1002:1002:ARP Networks Maintenance Account:/home/arpnetworks:/bin/sh [20:05] Oh - I erased that :) [20:05] I just installed my own machine [20:05] finally got FreeBSD on my EeePC working again. [20:06] so there are no accounts that up_the_irons knows on my machine [20:06] someone smack me next time I want to 'portmaster -af' [20:06] paranoid much? [20:06] RandalSchwartz: I did the same. I reinstalled from scratch. [20:06] not paranoid [20:06] just didn't know how to reset it :) [20:06] and I rewrote / to be ZFS [20:07] in times like these, this is useful [20:07] so nothing existed from previous [20:07] up_the_irons should have a disk with / as ZFS to clone from [20:07] since it takes about a half hour to set up [20:08] or at least a script I can paste into the console :) [20:08] RandalSchwartz: yeah. if copy/paste worked better into the vnc window it'd go a bit faster.
