insightcruises.com has decided to get off EC2 entirely
just ordered a second machine at ARP arenlor: Are they taking orders again? RandalSchwartz: they've always taken orders
it's just that there's a waiting list ***: heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks

amdprophet has joined #arpnetworks amdprophet: anyone seen up_the_irons? got an emergency
emailed support already arenlor: Nope sorry, maybe one of us can help? amdprophet: need a new iso downloaded and mounted, ZFS took a dump on us
:( arenlor: Nice, can't you use the console to mount an iso? amdprophet: I think garry needs to do it
we can't get into FreeBSD at all, won't get past the bootloader arenlor: Well my console is not being very happy, otherwise I'd look, I thought I had seen an option to boot an iso in there. amdprophet: i'll take a look
hmm great, i think my pubkey changed... hah arenlor: That's the issue I'm having
Though I don't remember it changing ^_^' amdprophet: same, i don't think i've regenerated it or formatted arenlor: RandalSchwartz: You able to get in? ***: kangu has joined #arpnetworks

kangu has joined #arpnetworks kangu: beer drinkers! RandalSchwartz: get in? arenlor: To the console RandalSchwartz: not for the new box
apparently, I forgot to ask that the pubkey be assigned
I figured that'd just be automatic arenlor: It may be that something happened to it RandalSchwartz: no, it doesn't show up in the list of machines assigned to that pubkey
some button needs to be pushed :)
amdprophet - you can boot from the ISO... at least, I can
just press I think it's F12 during bootup
as in, use the VNC arenlor: So how was YAPC? RandalSchwartz: busy... and having my laptop crash didn't make it any easier arenlor: Yeah, is it fixable? RandalSchwartz: I don't know
taking it to genius bar tomorrow
I suspect a MoBo replacement arenlor: That's lovely, well at least you can do that RandalSchwartz: eh? arenlor: my one laptop died, it's a dell, so I'd have to find the specific motherboard for it on ebay RandalSchwartz: replacing a mobo means "leaving it with apple for a few weeks" arenlor: Do you even get the same one back? RandalSchwartz: it's hard to tell
generally, yes arenlor: The one time I ever sent a computer in, I didn't get the same one back. It sort of freaked me out that they wouldn't tell you. RandalSchwartz: that's why you're supposed to back up your data. :) arenlor: I did, they sent back the same HDD in it
They replaced the shell and screen RandalSchwartz: weird arenlor: Yeah, but they didn't charge me so it's fine, but still just a little off-putting
You like the *BSDs right? Which one do you think would be best for a laptop? RandalSchwartz: I don't know. I don't run BSD on my laptop arenlor: I've only ever gotten laptops, don't know why. RandalSchwartz: me too
and they run OSX just fine
why would I run something less than OSX on a mac laptop? arenlor: I wish I could have ever afforded to get an Apple RandalSchwartz: afford? they're mostly on parity now
presuming you price the same setup
most people compare a stripped down machine against a full-featured apple. unfair. arenlor: It's usually 100-200 more for the Apple RandalSchwartz: the past days of "apple is overpriced" are long gone arenlor: I generally can't afford the 100-200 extra RandalSchwartz: well - you're getting seomthing for that price difference
maybe it's something you don't need then
but if you stack up feature for feature, I doubt there's a "$200 difference" at that point arenlor: I'm not sure what the bonus of getting an Apple is truly RandalSchwartz: I'm not following you
it's not because it's apple.
it's because it has more things
the apple brand is not what makes it more expensie
anyway, I gotta go figure out why this disk copy is taking forever. arenlor: Have fun -: RandalSchwartz wanders off amdprophet: RandalSchwartz: i need to boot from a different iso though RandalSchwartz: amdprophet - ahh, yeah, that's gonna require tech support amdprophet: do you know if the number on the arp front page goes to garry? RandalSchwartz: what iso do you have in there?
dunno amdprophet: we've got the mfsbsd iso (modified freebsd 8.0 image for ZFS on root) RandalSchwartz: probably a voicemail box amdprophet: unfortunately we upgraded our ZFS version since the initial install and that disc doesn't support ZFS version 14 RandalSchwartz: eww.
you should be able to "burn" your own isos from inside the VPS. :)
and then the console would activate a virtual hand to insert/remove them
maybe something inside second life interface amdprophet: hmm good idea ***: heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks
