up_the_irons: did you see an unusual spike in traffic to my VM?  I got in this morning and the server was timing out on request
RandalSchwartz!
morning.
for another 10 minutes, it still is, yes
Speak for yourself.
I haven't seen morning in hours!
I often do
Ah, good.
hi
haha.
look what you started!
mike-burns i send a mail to support yesterday cause i lost access to my vps
could u check it out
its always pingin out of irc as u can see nukeAFK
hours and hours always pingin out
I'm not actually an ARP admin, just an IRC op.
Sorry!
oh ok
ty
nuke` - does it do that even after rebooting?
cant reboot it
what kind of "cant"?
cant access it vnc o ssh
or*
but a hard boot would work
or haven't you tried
how i do thart?
it's on your VPS page
under "actions"
[boot] [shutdown (graceful)] [shutdown (hard)]
use "hard"
let me check, didnt even noticed that
that's a poweroff to the VM
you might try "graceful" first, wait two minutes
that's a "power is about to fail" signal
some kernels respond nicely to that
ok done it, let see if resolves it, ty alot
ouch!
hehe
Any recommendations on programs to write school stuff on? OOo feels bloated
shrug.
at least for my needs
vim?
heh... ipv6.chat.us.freenode.net has IPv6 address 2001:19f0:feee::dead:beef:cafe
vim
dead beef cafe :)
that's great
jdoe: I'm using emacs nowadays P
:P
emacs ftw
lol
0xDEFEC8ED ("defecated") is the magic number for OpenSolaris  core dumps.
It's not a program, but is LaTeX any good?
my network password here is "adeadbeefbabe" :)
I wrote all my school stuff using vim+LaTeX.
they wanted 13 chars, but I didn't if it had to be hex
turns out, it's 13 ascii chars
The editor isn't very important, but to say that LaTeX is "very good" would be a major understatement.
but I still like the hexness
if you can think like knuth. :)
canot?
cannot?
indeed.
Would be nice if texshop existed on !osx
How about LyX?
didn't like that much.
(but I don't remember why)
ty RandalSchwartz that did the trick
cool
but it still shouldn't have gotten wedged
maybe you can review the logs to figure it out
vtoms: there was a spike at approx 7:30am pst and 10:30am pst
up_the_irons ok weird, it seems to be back to normal now
vtoms: cool
dxtr: I used LyX (a LaTeX WYSIWYG front-end) for all my college papers and lab reports.  Made the most bad ass looking reports.
up_the_irons: Cool
Damn
A shitload of dependencies :D
yes
tons of fonts, text processors, etc...
761MB :(
LOL
I think I'll install it on my school computer instead
:D
dxtr: you want it on a local machine, as it is an X program
anyone good with CVS?
only to help people migrate off it to a real VCS
I want to see a file at revision XX and can't figure out how to do it
RandalSchwartz: yeah i hear ya
i use it only for rancid, b/c it doesn't support anything else
cvs co -rsomething path/to/file
or something like that
cvs co --help :)
just logs and diffs my switch / router config
yeah i tried 'co' and it wants a "module", w/e
oh ... that's not it then
you're already in a CVS repo?
or you are looking at a cvs server, and need something from it?
RandalSchwartz: i'm in the repo, it's local
cvs co -p -r 1.86 core1-bur-gige
cvs checkout: cannot find module `core1-bur-gige' - ignored
bah, fuck u cvs
up_the_irons: I mean, it's running windows
dxtr: wait whut?
My school computer
i c
It's a laptop. I've got it here
You know, the schools gives us free laptops
:D
nice
wipe the laptop, put a real OS on it
school*
PCBSD would work pretty well
RandalSchwartz: Actually we're not allowed to do that (Not that I care) - and it's a crap HP with bad support
s/support/drivers/
you're not allowed to be more productive than everyone else?
how unfair. :)
We're not allowed to re-install Windows :p
Not that anyone cares about that.
oh - there's the linux that can boot from inside a windows file
we had them on floss weekly
Yeah, I've seen it
Wubi
you could run that, and then you'd have a decent OS, but could always reboot back to Windows as "proof"
As I said; no one really cares
I've encrypted my drive too even though we're not allowed ;)
Set a BIOS password so they can't network boot it
RandalSchwartz: ah, it's here: http://www.dyna.org/Developers/subversion
Don't know how secure the BIOS is - but still
subversion?  I thought you said cvs
RandalSchwartz: the equiv of 'svn cat' is what i'm looking for
Oh!  as a way of moving people
yes that makes perfect sense... use the "update" command to "cat" the file
RandalSchwartz: i did, but i know how to do it in git and svn, just not cvs. and googling for "cvs version of git show" probably wouldn't return much ;)
!"#¤%&/
How the hell do I install custom fonts in Ubuntu 10.04?
Can't install the fonts I want :(
They're not in apt
... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts
See "Manually"
been there, done that
I hope that doesn't mean "using a magnet" :)
But it doesn't even catch them
it = fc-cache
ah beautiful: cvs up -p -r 1.86 core1-bur-gige
you have truetype fonts?
end in .tt or something?:
0.pcf
.pcf*
pcf isn't a tt font, I don't think
you might need to convert them
What if I don't want tt? :(
Okay... I kind of got it working now .P
Yay! Totally got i working now
it*
hi guys!
where can i get an arpnetworks tshirt?
uhh... walmart will get you a shirt and a sharpie.
+1
I suggest "ARPNETWORKS IS THE SHIT"
but feel free to toss in a couple speling mistaykes for colour as you see fit.
hey i'm serious
Heh.
fink: and I'm not?
fink: you really want a shirt?
up_the_irons: yea ;)
i actually have some, hand-made in the phillipines
my old partner was from there, and when he went to visit relatives, he'd get street vendors to knit us shirts
but alas, i have no shirts for the general populous
up_the_irons: no way, awesome
do i count as a member of the general populous?
way
fink: yes
or of the arpnetworks special clique?
safely at PDX
now just waiting to board my flight to LAX
there is no special clique
there's #arpnetworks on autojoin
if there *were* a special clique, not sure we would tell you. :)
cedwards: make sure it has a pic of eyore on it
http://www.performanceboats.com/html/youBoat/data/500/eeyore.jpg - caption "Harrumph!"
RandalSchwartz: there is no cabal
jdoe: that's what you want us to think
You should do t-shirts.
Or mugs or other crap. Your logo is cool.
cafepress.com.
Sneakers and wristwatches.
arp networks condoms.  The globe logo goes at the end.
stuffed animals
awyeah: aw i was just going to say condoms
Wait.  That might not be super professional.  So if, like, that's the kind of image you're going for... don't do it.
BTW, any idea on when more VPS space will be available?
how about arpnetworks assless chaps?
awyeah: your turn
all chaps are assless
although saying assless chaps does sound nicer.
Seriously though, geeks like me like mugs and other crap
i have no use for a mug
i could use an arpnetworks tissue box
sanitary wipes?
i know, great ideas right?
i have a lot more where those came from
sanitary wipes could have promise.
But it could be a PR issue wiping ass with a company's logo..
hehe
i think tissue boxes and little body lotion bottles would be perfect
Geeks don't moisturize.
awyeah: do i have to spell it out for you
Oh that reminds me, I gotta set up my tarsnap cron job.
ah fsck it, I'll do it tomorrow.
dammit. reverse ipv6 DNS not working.
Try this again.
Oh well. It'll refresh eventually.
YES i have defeated nginx on the field of combat
i almost went back to apache twice, but dammit, i hit #nginx and got the dang thing working finally
how are you testing it?
homosaur: have you tried cherokee? it's fantastic
what's so bad about apache? :)
huge memory footprint
fink: what would be the benefit to something like cherokee? it looks pretty neat just from the website
awyeah: yeah, memory
homosaur: faster, less memory, amazing admin util
awyeah: also, complication
awyeah: for interpreters, it's more secure
fink: would you recommend it over something like nginx? i might have to take a look. i moved to nginx from lighty and am mighty impressed with it
i use: django -> uwsgi -> cherokee -> cherokee proxy
homosaur: i have limited experience with nginix, but nginix is cool
fink: i shall have a look, but the main reason i'm on nginx is the the passenger support. cherokee looks really neat though, i had never heard of it
homosaur: the admin interface really did it for me; i'm sick of cryptic stupid text files
fink: wow, this is impressive. i might try and deploy this next time i'm working on a non-rails project
homosaur: i think passenger works with it
there are people in #cherokee who talk about rails
but i don't know much of anything about ruby
i guess i will have to learn, to script sketchup
fink: i'll look into it, i just fought a war with nginx to get wordpress working correctly
homosaur: lots of peopl with wordpress in cherokee
nginx/php fcgi were not the problem, my lack of experience configuring nginx was
i'm used to things just sort of working with apache, and php is a little tricky at first
bedtime for me
bye
