WhoWhatWhen
up_the_ironswiki theme is nicer [00:17]
cedwards: do you mind if I copy some of the stuff you wrote on arpwiki.com and put it on the official wiki? (the new http://wiki.arpnetworks.com)
specifically, I was eyeballing the Arch Linux stuff

LTthough most of them are asleep... the joys of irc [02:12]
bob^^i'm awake :)
but then again, it's 10:15am here :)
[02:13]
LTthere is that too... if you really want lots of people here in the early hours PST start offering VPS in europe [02:14]
bob^^that would be great
something UK based ;)
[02:14]
.... (idle for 15mn)
up_the_ironsoh man, to manage a presence that far away...
it's hard to imagine at the moment
still need to fill up LA
;)
I'd probably start with east coast US first... I may get deal on space from CoreSite since I already buy a lot of space from them
i should say, "a lot"
i'm sure Activision (a cage neighbor) thinks it's small
[02:30]
bob^^it'd be eeeassyyy
send me some hardware and i'll do the rest for you :)
[02:35]
LTyeah... bob^^ would do it all for you... for free [02:36]
bob^^well i can certainly provide the space, power and addressing... :)
sadly not for free, though :(
[02:36]
LTheh... at least you've got some power - that's trouble enough in london [02:37]
bob^^yeah, it is a bit of a nightmare these days
i believe we've got a whole cab sitting idle in telehouse north atm
because they want crazy money for power
most of our stuff is in Manchester
[02:37]
up_the_ironsup_the_irons ships a server to bob^^ [02:38]
bob^^:D [02:39]
up_the_ironsi have the addresses, but interestingly... do i need to get RIPE addresses if I have a box in Europe? or can I use my ARIN blocks? I haven't had a reason to figure that one out yet.. [02:39]
bob^^you'd need something from RIPE
they are *seriously* difficult to work with
[02:39]
up_the_ironsugh [02:40]
bob^^however as a 'new' player over here you'd probably get on fine
it's when you're requesting more addresses that they go all strict and make you justify everything you already have
...with graphs showing DHCP allocations, etc etc etc
it's ridiculous
[02:40]
up_the_ironshaha, interesting. it's the opposite with ARIN
first block is the hardest, then they are easy
[02:40]
bob^^yeah, i've heard that... you guys are lucky :) [02:41]
***schmir has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [02:41]
up_the_ironsi'm hoping to send another request in at the end of the year... see what i can justify [02:41]
bob^^we asked for an ipv6 allocation *just* for testing
they said no
[02:42]
up_the_ironsand then the *next* time i'd qualify for another request, we'll be all out of Ipv4 anyway ;) [02:42]
bob^^clearly they're worried they're going to run out ;/ [02:42]
up_the_ironshahhaha
i'll give you a /48 for testing...
;)
[02:42]
bob^^;D [02:43]
up_the_irons/48's are totally routable
although perhaps your upstreams would give you shit.. "where did THIS come from?!"
[02:43]
bob^^lol, probably
our main transit supplier doesn't seem all that bothered about implementing ipv6
[02:44]
up_the_ironsthat's just sad [02:44]
***schmir has joined #arpnetworks [02:44]
up_the_ironsthey'll already be too late [02:44]
bob^^in my experience, their attitude is pretty standard over here
but then when RIPE refuse you a testing allocation, it's not really a surprise
[02:44]
LTsilly thing is if you hadn't mentioned it was for testing they'd probably have give you a /32 [02:45]
up_the_ironsyeah [02:45]
bob^^indeed
if you do ever decide you'd like some kit over here though just shout
am happy to help sort things out/be remote hands
[02:45]
up_the_ironsbob^^: yeah sure thing, i'll definitely prefer working with someone i know than a random data center [02:48]
bob^^indeed :)
as long as you avoid putting kit in london prices are pretty reasonable too
the biggest sting is likely to be transit costs, i think i've said before how much some providers expect you to pay
[02:49]
up_the_ironsyeah
well, it'll just be cost of doing business; bandwidth prices will have to be higher for EU VPS's then
[02:54]
bob^^yup, indeed [02:54]
up_the_ironsto ZFS zealots, this needs some love: http://wiki.arpnetworks.com/wiki/ZFSonFreeBSD [02:54]
bob^^heh, i'm not brave enough yet to try it ;) [02:55]
up_the_irons:)
well, it's been a long day, time to get off this thing; perhaps when i wake up tomorrow i'll see a wiki article or two... </hint>

j3mup_the_irons: can I get the FreeBSD 8.1 disc in my virtual drive really quick, I broke something trying to update to 8.1 and need the 8.1 cd to fix it
I just put in a ticket, but was wondering if you could just switch it quick if it doesn't take long due to the fact that all my stuff is currently down and people are not happy with me
[09:39]
dxtr:D
Fail
[09:41]
nestappl are always unhappy
fuckem
:P
[09:41]
j3mlol
for reference, do not use freebsd-update to go from 8.0 to 8.1 when booting from zfs
[09:41]
dxtrtrue story [09:43]
j3manyone else try that?
ah well, just goes to show 'google everything first' is not a habit I should have broken
[09:43]
nestahehe
especially with ZFS!!!!?!?!?
ps. freebsd-update also sux
:P
[09:46]
j3mbut ZFS is so nice and shiny! how could ever fail me? [09:47]
nestayoung grasshopper you have much to learn [09:47]
j3malways [09:48]
nestasame
:P
I don't use ZFS myself
have thought about giving it a go
[09:48]
j3mI have been very happy with it other than the high memory requirements, but then I guess that pays off in the caching it does
well, and then this problem now, lol
[09:49]
nestamh hmmm
hehe
it is still a bit too 'beta' for me
[09:52]
j3msnapshots are nice though, especially when combinied with jails [09:57]
nestaI dunno what that really means >_<
hehe
I use ezjail and default filesystem
[09:58]
j3mwell, the snapshots zfs lets you take, which are very fast and very cheap to do, are great for backing up the state of jails and they are very quick to restore as well
speaking of that, maybe I should just restore my snapshot in the time being
until I can fix this problem

Ahmedhello
You guys allow IRC and provide IPv6 allocation, yes?
[10:33]
nestayes they do :) [10:33]
AhmedCool
any SLA guarantee?
[10:34]
BarberRonnyi wonder about that too bro [10:35]
AhmedI do hear nice stuff about ArpNetworks, but SLA is important [10:35]
BarberRonnymaybe up_the_irons can answer this question [10:35]
dxtrAhmed: Why wouldn't a VPS provider allow IRC?
Sounds lame :P
[10:37]
Ahmeddxtr: you would be surprised ☺
No IRC No IPv9
IPv6 even, heh
[10:37]
dxtrNever heard of [10:37]
AhmedYou haven't looked [10:37]
nesta... [10:37]
AhmedFreeBSD VPS, this is something I've been missing too [10:38]
nestayeah its really radical idea [10:38]
Ahmed❥ FreeBSD [10:38]
dxtrEither that or I live in a country where the ISPs try to not limit what the customer is doing with their product ;) [10:38]
Ahmedheh
hit the voicemaol
[10:39]
dxtrBtw, I read on Twitter that OpenBSD supports wide chars now! Just waiting until they implement it in the mainstream release
That's just plain epic
[10:39]
nestais it? [10:40]
dxtrYeah [10:40]
nestadoes FreeBSD support that? [10:40]
dxtrYeah [10:40]
nestaah okay
you use Open I take it?
[10:40]
dxtrnsyndaemon -K -d -i 1
Opps
Nope I dno't
don't
Because it doesn't (didn't) support wide chars ;)
To be fair I use it on my router
But I'm totally missing the wide char support

IPv6Freelyg'day
hey up_the_irons :)
[10:50]
bob^^lol, nice nick :) [10:54]
IPv6FreelyThanks sir :)
jlgaddis recommended you guys, I think I may just sign up :)
[10:54]
dxtro [10:55]
bob^^nothing but good things to say here
had my VPS (freebsd 8) for a good few months now, no issues
[10:55]
IPv6FreelyThat FreeBSD special is super tempting, though I may just try out one of the smaller plans for now. Decisions, decisions. [10:56]
bob^^treat yourself :) [10:56]
`nhspecial or nothing! [10:56]
IPv6Freelyhaha fair enough [10:57]
`nh;P
im wondering how long it will take to setup, i tend to like instant gratification
even though, i assume if i was to order it when i was going to (last week) it would be up by now
[10:57]
IPv6Freelyha [10:57]
bob^^it depends how much free space there is
looks like there is actually free space at the moment, so i'd have thought you'd be up pretty quick
[10:58]
`nhinteresting [10:59]
bob^^i had to wait for a slot, but mine was up within 48 hours [11:01]
`nhthats a long wait [11:03]
nestaIPv6Freely: just fyi I got the 15 dollar deal and it's fine for my needs. I even managed to fdisk it up with seperate partitions on a 10gb disk, / /tmp /var /usr /home
took some work hehe
[11:03]
IPv6Freelyis it not a standard partition scheme by default? [11:04]
dxtrNope [11:04]
nestaits all on / by default
you can do what you like after you get it though
[11:04]
`nho0 [11:04]
j3manyone want to try and help me with a zfs on root/boot problem that is likely my own fault? [11:04]
`nhyou made /boot zfs? [11:05]
nestaj3m: try to catch RandalSchwartz if you see him [11:05]
j3mI did that when I first installed 8.0 from scratch I believe
nesta: thanks, I'll watch for him
[11:05]
IPv6Freelynesta: huh... okay. So how would you do that? Do they have some sort of remote console you can use while reinstalling the OS? [11:06]
j3myes, VNC over ssh tunnel [11:06]
nestayes IPv6Freely ... it rocks
vnc application
[11:06]
IPv6Freelyhmm rad. [11:06]
nestaand you can boot from cd via it
it is v sexy
[11:06]
bob^^it is seriously cool actually :) [11:06]
j3mI tried to upgrade from 8.0 to 8.1 using freebsd-update [11:07]
nestahehe yes [11:07]
bob^^and useful when you break things :D [11:07]
nestaI _still_ have no gotten over it tbh
lol
not*
it's liek woah
I think its the vm stuff that arp uses it too.. its great
[11:07]
`nhvnc to console? [11:08]
nestayeah [11:08]
`nhi thought that was common withing vps providers
within*
[11:08]
IPv6FreelyJust signed up :) [11:09]
nestamost vps providers implementations seems to be broke as hell
from what I have seen and heard
[11:09]
`nhive only ever used another popular bsd vps provider that will remain nameless here
mainly because their cs sucks butt
[11:09]
j3msomething went wrong with that update, I have since read that others have had problems: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=15131 [11:10]
`nhgot to read UPDATING brah [11:10]
j3mI always have in the past, my brain didn't get out of bed this morning it seems [11:11]

[11:12]
`nhdamn, wish i could help you man, but i dont have the experience with zfs to be any kind of help [11:13]

hehehe
[11:14]
`nhso tru, so damn tru [11:14]
nestaj3m: wish I had some idea buddy, hopefully RandalSchwartz will arrive with magical help soon
*paging* RandalSchwartz *paging* RandalSchwartz
[11:14]
bob^^lol [11:15]
j3mlol [11:15]
nestahe is very friendly he won't mind being paged I'm sure
>_<
[11:15]
j3mdoes anyone know what happens if you run ' [11:15]
`nhnothing?
or is that a trick question
[11:16]
j3m'gpart bootcode -b /mnt2/boot/pmbr -p /mnt2/boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad0' on a mbr by accident as well, because, there is a slight chance I may have done that
sorry, erroneous enter
instead of rolling back my zfs to the working state, I tried to go forward with the update and ran that command, but there is a chance I didn't even use gpt on this box
which i realized after
but, maybe that is not the case, I need to find out now though, because booting gives 'Invalid partition table' now...
[11:16]
`nhhm [11:19]
j3mhowever, zfs still intact and can read with zfs import from fixit shell [11:19]
`nhtried the "fixit" in sysinstall? [11:20]
j3mall data appears to be intact and I have rolled back the zfs to the pre-update snapshot I took
but ever since I ran the gpart command I am getting Invalid partition table
even after the rollback
I'm sorry to hijack the channel for this problem, I've never dug myself into hole quite like this though...
[11:20]
`nhnot sure if this would help, but check this out: http://romain.blogreen.org/Blog/2010/02/ZFS%3A_unsupported_ZFS_version_14_(should_be_13) [11:22]
j3mthat shouldn't be a problem for me, I am pretty sure the pool is still version 13
from freebsd 8.0
or it wouldn't work from the fixit shell (I think)
yeah, just checked, is version 13
thanks though
I think my problem is now that I messed up my partitions with that command, it is likely that I was running an MBR based system and that command wrote GPT stuff to my disk and confused things...
[11:23]
`nhhm, i wonder [11:28]
j3mif I am right, I need to find a way to recreate a working partition table without affecting the data on my ZFS partition
and dumb me can't find a record of the disklabel values
[11:29]
`nhtheres got to be some fbsd pros here [11:30]
j3mat the very least typing this stuff in is theraputic and helping me problem solve, lol
hope I am not bugging people here

I guess I would just ask support for help on that
[15:29]
nestamattx86: yes you can do that most likely. any iso you can get as far as I know.. your mileage may vary
I am quite sure any linux is supported
don't want to speak for an admin though ;)
Garry will be back in a half or so I think
[15:31]
mattx86cool, ok [15:32]
***j3m has joined #arpnetworks [15:33]
mattx86actually, I gotta go for a few hours, but I'll stay logged in
bbl
[15:33]
***j3m has quit IRC (Client Quit)
j3m has joined #arpnetworks
[15:34]
up_the_ironsmattx86: i generally don't do Red Hat based (e.g. CentOS, RHEL, etc...) linux distros because they leave everything and the sun open by default and get hacked [15:44]
IPv6Freelysup up_the_irons
i think we've spoken on twitter in the past
[15:46]
up_the_ironsIPv6Freely: i was gonna ask if you were a former customer or beta tester, cuz your nick sounds familiar
so yeah, twitter :)
[15:47]
IPv6Freelyindeed. Though im now a customer, I just signed up a couple hours ago [15:47]
up_the_ironsIPv6Freely: yeah i saw that, welcome :) [15:49]
IPv6Freelythanks!
you do the initial setups dont you?
[15:49]
up_the_ironsyup [15:52]
IPv6FreelyAny chance you could give me the default FreeBSD partition scheme, rather than having everthing in / ? [15:54]
up_the_ironsnope
;)
http://support.arpnetworks.com/faqs/vps/custom-partitions
but you can do it yourself
[15:54]
IPv6Freelyokay. only asked because it hadnt been setup yet ;) [15:56]
RandalSchwartzup_the_irons just clones an install... he's not actually going through the steps.
so it's more work to do a custom install, work that you can do anyway
[15:56]
IPv6Freelyoh right, duh
IPv6Freely slaps self
[15:56]
RandalSchwartzRandalSchwartz slaps self as well
self slap: 5
[15:56]

up_the_ironsIPv6Freely: yeah, what RandalSchwartz said :) [15:58]
IPv6Freely:)
no worries
[15:58]
RandalSchwartzI've installed ZFS GPT Root on ARPnetworks so many times, I could probably do it in my sleep now :) [15:59]
IPv6Freelyi dont have any idea what that is :) [15:59]
RandalSchwartzZFS for Root? [15:59]
IPv6Freelyyarr [15:59]
RandalSchwartzit's all the rage! It's what all the cool kids use! [15:59]
up_the_ironsup_the_irons points RandalSchwartz to http://wiki.arpnetworks.com/wiki/ZFSonFreeBSD and notes how empty and lonely it is [15:59]
IPv6Freelyoh oh oh can i be cool too then? [16:00]
RandalSchwartzin that case, you *do* want one fat partition
and you can easily add subpartitions and put quotas on them
it's far better than hard partitions
[16:00]
IPv6FreelyIPv6Freely lost [16:00]
nestahehe [16:00]
RandalSchwartzfollow this - insightcruisesconcierge@gmail.com
oops not that.
damn copybuffer
[16:00]
IPv6Freely=] [16:00]
RandalSchwartz... http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/
better
those instructions followed literally work great
don't deviate
except on this line: echo 'ifconfig_re0="DHCP"' >> /etc/rc.conf
first, it's em0, not re0
second, you need to use the fix IP info given to you
since your box does not get a DHCP
I have "defaultrouter=NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN"
and "ipv4_addrs_em0=NNN.NNN.NNN.LOW-HIGH/28"
that does it for me
adjust /28 as you need
it's either 28 or 29 or 30
does that help?
[16:01]
IPv6Freelyindeed [16:05]
RandalSchwartzso... F12 during boot, boot the cd, choose fixit, and you should be at a prompt
then follow those instructions
then reboot, and you should be live on your new machine
[16:06]
IPv6Freelymight as well try it... if i break it i can just do it again [16:06]
RandalSchwartzit takes about 15-20 minutes if you type fast
the bad news is that you can't copy-paste from that text
you have to literally type it. :(
[16:06]
IPv6Freelywhy cant ya? [16:07]
RandalSchwartzthe page contains some utf-8 characters for the computer-printout stuff
it pastes wrong
and at especially bad places
[16:07]
IPv6Freelyhmm
probably can just paste into notepad or whatever and make sure its all correct and then give er
[16:07]
RandalSchwartzyou could first test-paste, I presume
yeah
uh... notepad!?
[16:07]
nestahahah [16:08]

`nhany eta on new setups? [16:25]
RandalSchwartz"new setups"?
in general, they get processed in 24-48 hours
at least from what I've seen here recently
disclaimer - I'm just a customer
[16:26]
`nhnot sure what else a "new setup" would imply :) [16:27]
j3mRandalSchwartz: Do you know how to get info about the start and length of an intact ZFS volume when the partition table is broke? [16:27]
IPv6Freely`nh: i actually thought you meant new beta servers [16:28]
RandalSchwartzno - I'd just be staring at the output of geom [16:28]
`nhnot sure how you got beta servers from new setups [16:28]
RandalSchwartzand if that's broke, nope [16:28]
j3mRandalSchwartz: thanks, that is all I've been able to do [16:29]
IPv6FreelyI thought by "setup" you meant "server". Who cares [16:29]
RandalSchwartzthere might be a backup partition somewhere [16:29]
j3mNow I'm going to have to zfs send to another disk with a working partition table [16:29]
`nhif somehow i am not speaking correct english, or code words, i care :) [16:30]
RandalSchwartzgpt right? [16:30]
IPv6Freely`nh: relax. [16:30]
RandalSchwartzor something with gpart? [16:30]
`nh?
i think youre the edgy one here.
[16:30]
j3myeah, somehow I lost the partition table it seems, I think it was a command I entered when trying to fix a failed freebsd-update to 8.1 [16:30]
RandalSchwartzeww
but it still mounts?
[16:31]
j3mI should have just rolled back my snapshot to 8.0....
yes
[16:31]
IPv6Freely`nh: No. You're the one that got all upset because we misunderstood your vague question. [16:31]
RandalSchwartzweird [16:31]

[16:32]
`nhnot sure why "just some guy" would answer a question directed at staff, but ok :) [16:32]
RandalSchwartzthere's probably info in the cache file then [16:33]
IPv6FreelyI didn't see a question directed at staff, it appeared to be a general question to the entire channel. I don't know why you're making such a big deal out of this. Settle down. [16:33]

sbp_yah [16:52]
RandalSchwartzcompetitors to sednet? :) [16:52]
nestalol [16:52]
RandalSchwartzhow about grepnet? [16:52]
sbp_a good friend got a 2 week trial there as an employee
what is sednet and grepnet?
[16:52]
nestacome on sbp_ [16:52]
RandalSchwartzwell - what is awknet? [16:52]
nestasnap snap! [16:52]
sbp_oh i gotcha
sed grep awk
:D
[16:52]
nestalol
YAY
[16:52]
sbp_i thought maybe there was some awesome dd0s protected place i never heard of for a sec
was excited
:D
[16:53]
nestahehe [16:53]
RandalSchwartzgrepnet sounds like grape nuts :)
so is awk in awknet like awk?
or some other meaning?
[16:53]
sbp_i really dont know, its been around for a pretty good while tho [16:54]
RandalSchwartz... http://www.awknet.com/ ? [16:54]
sbp_yah
they are known for there ddos protection mainly
[16:55]
RandalSchwartzhow is "IRC" a "high risk service"? [16:56]
nestadepends on your network :) [16:57]
RandalSchwartzI'm trying to figure out what these guys are actually doing
it smells a bit
[16:57]
***schmir has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [16:57]
RandalSchwartzlike doing something marginal [16:57]
nestathey are a service provider, RandalSchwartz [16:57]
RandalSchwartzyeah - spam hosters are "service providers" too [16:57]
nestacool [16:57]
awyeahA lot of hosting providers see IRC as a high risk service because IRC servers get DOS'd a lot. [16:58]
RandalSchwartzI'm just trying to figure out if awknet is a good guy, bad guy, or claiming-to-be-neutral guy but allowing bad-guy customers [16:58]
awyeaher, DoS'd.
Also, they can sometimes play host to botnets.
[16:58]
IPv6FreelyIPv6Freely runs DOS on his new VPS [16:58]
nestaRandalSchwartz: claiming neutral imho
they have quite a history
from gigenet on up to present
[16:58]
RandalSchwartzso this company openly permits botnets? [16:59]
nestaand foonet [16:59]
RandalSchwartzand you guys work with them or for them? [16:59]
nestauh. no
wrong all over
[16:59]
RandalSchwartzwell - then, first, what's the reference to awknet
... <sbp_> she will be the best support @ awknet imho
[17:00]
nestawe know someone who has a job interview coming up there [17:00]
***heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: BAMPF!) [17:00]
RandalSchwartzso you associate with people who provide services to bad guys? [17:00]
nestamy friend provides services to bad guys?
new to me, RandalSchwartz
but you seem to know a lot
so, fill me in a bit more please
lol
[17:01]
RandalSchwartz... <nesta> RandalSchwartz: claiming neutral imho [17:01]
nestayep [17:01]
RandalSchwartzif you were choosing my third option [17:01]
nestathats the compant
y
nothing to do with her as a person
[17:01]
RandalSchwartzthat means they service bad guys
if she is interviewing there, it does
[17:01]
nestashe needs a job, is broke... AND that was my _opinion_
I am quite certain she would not agree
that they are bad
nope
those are your words
[17:02]
RandalSchwartzthen why would someone need those specific services? [17:02]
nestano one elses [17:02]
RandalSchwartzwhat *legit* reasons are there for that kind of provision? [17:02]
nestayou invented stuff and pinned it on them [17:02]
up_the_ironsI just google'd awknet. They are in 530 W. 6th St. 'nuff said [17:02]
nestaand are asking people to explin it
lol
[17:02]
up_the_ironsIf you've ever seen that place, you'll know what I mean [17:02]
RandalSchwartzup_the_irons - known spam hosting?
or just cut-rate creepy?
[17:02]
sbp_i dont know much about them, besides they have heavy ddos protection [17:03]
RandalSchwartzyes - why would someone need ddos to protect IRC? [17:03]
up_the_ironsRandalSchwartz: 530 W. 6th St., now "Telecom Center", but was the Douglas Oil Building, is the crappiest building in LA for an ISP. shit is held together by duct tape. people who align themselves with that kind of work are usually up to no good [17:03]
RandalSchwartzsounds like botnets to me [17:03]
sbp_because people on efnet ddos randon people for fun [17:03]
nestadang up_the_irons [17:04]
sbp_some people even [17:04]
nestasucks for my friend :( [17:04]
RandalSchwartzthat still doesn't explain why awknet would deliberately promote robust "IRC" networks [17:04]
nestahopefully she will hate it and get a better spot [17:04]
RandalSchwartzmost IRC is just casual chat [17:04]
nestasoemwhere else [17:04]
RandalSchwartzhardly mission critical
unless you're a botnet operator
[17:05]
up_the_irons"Blocks all DDoS", hrm [17:05]
sbp_youve never suffered from a huge ddos attack have you
randal
awknet can take more then staminus
[17:05]
RandalSchwartzI generally don't do things that trigger that.
again - wondering who these customers might be
[17:05]
sbp_different worlds.. thats all
:D
[17:06]
nestayep [17:06]
RandalSchwartzthat need strong DDoS protection for their (again jawdrop) *IRC* networks
smells to high heaven of spam botnets
what *other* realm needs it
[17:06]
nestaheh [17:06]
RandalSchwartzgive me ONE example, and I'll shut up [17:06]
sbp_go msg haddem on efnet
from an ipv4
and you will find out
:)
[17:06]
nestaor ipv6 [17:06]
sbp_why you may need ddos protection [17:07]
nestasome people like to pick fights on IRC, RandalSchwartz... as lame as it be it happens .. and these guys host lots of them [17:07]
sbp_hes from brazil, wont understand you, unless you know protuguese, and will down you like no other [17:07]
nestathey are not necessarily involved in spam, most are not smart enough
they have botnets but they are IRC channel bots
[17:07]
RandalSchwartzso other than turf kiddies, what's the legit business motivation? [17:07]
nestaand they like to have tons of them
and fight for channels
and dumb stuff like that
now that's an example for you
[17:07]
sbp_alot of game clans need it also, or big web sites [17:08]
RandalSchwartzNo - that's not a business [17:08]
nestathey made one out of it [17:08]
RandalSchwartzthey keep saying "IRC" [17:08]
nestawhether you believe it or not [17:08]
sbp_i mean google.com probablly takes hits all day long [17:08]
RandalSchwartzwhy does IRC need that kind of protection [17:08]
nestabecasuse people DDOS each other
is that not obvious?
[17:08]
RandalSchwartzyou still haven't said how IRC is mission critical enough to buy special resources [17:08]
sbp_its not
but if you dont want your shit nulled or down
you need some sort of ddos protection
[17:08]
nestabecasue people don't want their channel bots dropped [17:09]
j3mup_the_irons: I have a new plan, check the ticket when you get a chance. [17:09]
nestaor their servers dropped
etc
[17:09]
RandalSchwartzI keep hearing the same thing. it's about kiddies, or about things you don't want to talk about [17:09]
nestalol [17:09]
RandalSchwartzto me, that's still spam botnets [17:09]
sbp_you are from the services realm
arent oyu
[17:09]
nestayou asked for an example and you got one [17:09]
RandalSchwartzthat's the only IRC that makes money [17:09]
sbp_nickserv chnaserv etc [17:09]
RandalSchwartzis there some *other* IRC that makes money? [17:09]
nestathese people that pay awknet for hosting get their money from parents a lot of the time, RandalSchwartz
they are not smart enough to have spam bots... not to say thata awknet does not also host that
but if you are asking me or sbp_ we are telling you our experience
[17:09]
RandalSchwartzyou mean parents put up money so kids can play turf wars? [17:10]
nestayes [17:10]
RandalSchwartzwhat silliness have we gotten to? [17:10]
nestaI am dead serious [17:10]
sbp_thats why nesta has that pink bike
he has awknet server
[17:10]
nestaI am talaking tons of servers, shells, bots, etc ... all legal [17:10]
sbp_cant get car [17:10]
nestaI do not have any business with them
don't associate me please
lol
[17:11]
sbp_i know
:D
i make it up
[17:11]
RandalSchwartzanyway, as a bona fide certified spam fighter white hat, the mere existence of places like these makes me a bit sick. [17:11]
nestaexcept for my MASSIVE SPAM NET [17:11]
RandalSchwartzbut I've said my piece. and thanks up_the_irons for that additional intel. [17:12]
nestasorry for us making you aware of reality
:-/
[17:13]
RandalSchwartzwell - I'm just trying to sort out if you're friends-of-friends-of-spammers or not
looking for the white or black het
hat even
het doesn't make sense :)

RandalSchwartzRandalSchwartz wanders off [17:17]
........ (idle for 36mn)
***fink_ has quit IRC (Quit: fink_) [17:53]
....... (idle for 34mn)
rVn_-is there any forum where explain how to setup ipv6 on our vps [18:27]
nestait's in the FAQ I do believe [18:28]
RandalSchwartzand it depends on what you've been told
the default route may differ, for example
for example, I have ipv6_defaultrouter=fe80::5054:ff:fe27:9007%em0
but I'm told that was simplified after I did that
... http://support.arpnetworks.com/faqs/main/how-to-configure-ipv6-on-freebsd
but I think that's beeen superceded
the routing on the "upstream link" no longer consumes ::1 and ::2
up_the_irons?
[18:28]
sbp_mine was partially setup on ordering i believe [18:31]
RandalSchwartzI think he sets it up now so that both ends use fe80::1 and fe80::2
which doesn't consume any part of your /48 (or /64)
[18:31]
sbp_ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_defaultrouter="2607:f2f8:a100::1"
ipv6_ifconfig_em0="2607:f2f8:a100::2 prefixlen 64"
ipv6_ifconfig_em0_alias0="2607:f2f8:a100::3 prefixlen 64"
is in my rc.conf if that helps you
[18:32]
RandalSchwartzYeah - that looks oldschool
he experimented with me recently to get it more finely tuned
[18:32]
rVn_-I use debian so abit differant then fbsd the setup i think [18:32]
up_the_ironssbp_'s rc.conf is correct [18:33]
RandalSchwartzif you use link-local addresses (fe80::) you can keep from eating up part of your /48 just for the link
Oh really? you went back to the XXX::1 and XXX::2 ?
[18:33]
up_the_ironsRandalSchwartz: i use link-local only when requested by customer; link-local requires a bit of knowledge most people aren't used to yet [18:33]
RandalSchwartzit's just mine that's weird? :)
Yeah 1 and 2 are easier to describe
[18:33]
up_the_ironsRandalSchwartz: keep the defaults easy and reserve the more advanced setup for those who want it [18:34]
RandalSchwartzor are crazy enough to request it :) [18:34]
sbp_i personally just want to be able to ping6 out and irc from it [18:34]
up_the_ironssome people want to play around with IPv6 routing, so they request it. mainly for VPN stuff [18:34]
sbp_otherwise could care less about v6
at this point
[18:35]
rVn_-heh from my side, first time I play with ipv6 so abit lost [18:35]
RandalSchwartzipv6 rocks
I have it on my laptop all the time via miredo
and I have a v6 tunnel at home from tunnelbroker.net
(free service)
so all my machines at home have a globally routed address

sbp_i have a vpn setup so i can ping6 at home, otherwisse my router wont even pass protocol [18:36]
nestaI would be in the sbp boat hehe, I just use it for silly hostname [18:36]
up_the_ironsi like ipv6 in how i can auto-allocate blocks to customers. i don't need to analyze the "remaining" subnets and decide where "this" should fit [18:36]
RandalSchwartzyeah. everyone gets a /48
heck, I have *3* /48's :)
5 counting insightcruises
[18:36]
rVn_-up_the_irons, do you have any Debian how to for ipv6 setup? [18:37]
RandalSchwartzI can enumerate 3 * 1152921504606846976 machines :) [18:37]
nestainteresting site RandalSchwartz [18:38]
RandalSchwartzas in, I can nearly assign an IP address to each grain of sand that fills the earth. :) [18:38]
up_the_ironsrVn_-: just put this in your /etc/network/interfaces:
iface eth1 inet6 static
address $IPV6_PREFIX::$IPV6_IP
gateway $IPV6_PREFIX::1
netmask 64
$IPV6_PREFIX -- use your prefix
$IPV6_IP -- any IP you want (I use 2)
replace eth1 with your interface
[18:39]
RandalSchwartzI use 0. :)

u can do what you want inbetween and after the ::

[18:42]
RandalSchwartzjust saying my host is .... ::0

I have two tunnels from tunnelbroker
one for home
the other for my laptop

no way!
peep that gif, sbp_ ^
[19:16]
sbp_hehe
looks like a lab/pit mix or something
[19:20]
up_the_ironsanyone know the answer to this: Postfix docs say "When a restriction list (example: client) evaluates to REJECT or DEFER the other restriction lists (example: helo, sender, etc.) are skipped.", but what about if the evaluation was "OK" (like in a white list), or other restrictions skipped as well?
i have a whitelist in "smtpd_client_restrictions", but i wonder if it is affected by the following rbl checks in "smtpd_recipient_restrictions"
[19:21]
RandalSchwartzI think once you have a solid yes or no, further checks are skipped
I have a few rules that have a lot of DUNNO
but that may be for a different reason
[19:22]
nestahey sbp_ pm [19:25]
up_the_ironsi c [19:26]
RandalSchwartzI could be wrong [19:28]
up_the_ironsi'll research more [19:28]
RandalSchwartzI hope to get Weitse on a future FLOSS Weekly
I spent a weekend with him at a cottage back in 02
well, him and 120 otherws :)
[19:33]
up_the_ironsi just did a test; it appears it *does* keep on checking further restriction lists. all restrictions must pass it [19:34]
RandalSchwartzothere ya go [19:34]
up_the_ironsbut a single reject and it is toast [19:34]
RandalSchwartzok there ya go even. :) [19:35]
that strategy does sound familiar [19:42]
mattx86up_the_irons: btw, that's cool. the distro I'm currently eye-balling is "Alpine Linux", which is supposed to be secure, but in any case, I'm usually quick to lock a vps down and turn off unnecessary services. :) [19:43]
RandalSchwartzugh linux :)
if you want real secure, don't use linux
most root kits exploit windows and linux, not BSD
[19:44]
nestayep [19:45]
RandalSchwartzeven if bsd isn't actually more secure, the odds of penetration are far less [19:46]
mattx86well, I kind of want to do FreeBSD, but I'm more used to linux in recent years [19:46]
RandalSchwartzthat can be fixed. :) [19:46]
nestacome on over :) [19:46]
mattx86plus I'm kind of in a time crunch
or I feel like it
[19:46]
RandalSchwartzfreebsd is pretty friendly
you'll enjoy /etc/rc.conf
all your local vars in one place
[19:46]
mattx86one thing that kinda bugs me is the layout of apache's config files on freebsd [19:48]
RandalSchwartzhow so? [19:48]
mattx86btw, I asked in ##freebsd, but didn't really get an answer: [19:48]
nestaie. is it in /usr/local ? [19:48]
mattx86do most freebsd users install from ports into /usr/local ? [19:48]
RandalSchwartzit has to be, it's a port [19:48]
nestaif so that's a common Linux users complaint but it's really just a small issue [19:48]
RandalSchwartzyes
ports = /usr/local
that's the way it is
[19:48]
nestaplsu it makes sense when you think of it
plus*
[19:49]
RandalSchwartzas in /usr/local is owned by ports [19:49]
nestakeeps things tidy :) [19:49]
mattx86I know, but when you're used to "/etc/apache2/conf.d/..." or some such :) [19:49]
RandalSchwartzand ports always use /usr/local
you can be used to many things
that are wrong :)
[19:49]
nestajsut add a /usr/local
and bob's ur uncle
not our bob^^ here but..
[19:49]
RandalSchwartzzactly [19:50]
nestaya [19:50]
RandalSchwartzit's just PREFIX=/usr/local
no freaking out :)
[19:50]
mattx86when directory paths get pretty big, I kinda go >_< [19:50]
RandalSchwartzget over it
ln -s /usr/local /ul :)
[19:50]
nestahaha ^
there ya go
lol
plus RandalSchwartz can make your ipv6 for ya easy on FreeBSD.. he has the magic commands
:P
[19:50]
mattx86heh, I did think about making simple bash scripts similar to rhel/fedora's "service" command, just I wouldn't have to type /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 restart or such ;) [19:52]
RandalSchwartzjust make them alias
"webup"
"webdown"
"webreload"
[19:53]
nestamh /etc/profile is nice in FreeBSD too
:D
[19:54]
mattx86IMHO though, nothing I've found for server use just yet, is as simple and down to earth as archlinux's /etc/rc.conf and ports-like system [19:54]
nestaarch linux just wants ot be FreeBSD
I know, I have used it quite a bit
it's kernel will always be Leeeenux
:P
[19:54]
RandalSchwartzit's an arch rival [19:55]
mattx86no makefiles, spec files, just simple, sensible variable names and it gets down to business [19:55]
nestalol RandalSchwartz
duh dum tsh!
[19:55]
mattx86heh
I do have a few problems with arch though
[19:55]
nestahi mattx86, me and RandalSchwartz like FreeBSD. nice to you meet you
lol
[19:56]
RandalSchwartzRandalSchwartz won't run linux anywhere, because /me likes to sleep at night [19:56]
mattx86it's not i586, so I can't install it on my soekris net5501 without some fiddling, and there's not a lot of server-ish packages available, and some are broken or don't provide all the features you'd like - without doing some more fiddling around
whereas, FreeBSD is BSD, so its awesome and documented, and there are tons of server packages available
[19:57]
***j3m has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [19:58]

mattx86so I do want to get into FreeBSD.. unless I can find something else perhaps ;) [19:58]
nestame and RandalSchwartz have vetted all possible suitors for you already, mattx86 [19:58]
mattx86my freebsd excuses aren't very good, I know ;) [19:59]
nestawe have FreeBSD to be the most suitable
found*
I am still trying to determine if I want ZFS
hehe
[19:59]
RandalSchwartzZFS rocks [20:00]
mattx86is it NetBSD that has pf or ipf rather? [20:00]
RandalSchwartzfreebsd has pf, ipfw, and something else
I prefer pf
[20:00]
***_Ehtyar has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [20:01]
nestaI use pf [20:01]
mattx86I think I used ipf on NetBSD, IIRC [20:01]
***_Ehtyar has joined #arpnetworks [20:01]
mattx86but over the past few years, I've learned iptables on linux
that was a feat, I thought hehe
[20:01]
RandalSchwartzyes. the firewall without a conf file
seemed strage to me at the time
[20:02]
mattx86heh yeah
some distros actually "wrap" iptables with an rc script at boot/shutdown, to provide a sort of configuration file for it
[20:02]
***j3m has joined #arpnetworks [20:02]
mattx86that another thing I hate, distros that try to wrap everything up with a neat bow heh [20:03]
RandalSchwartzbow and not stern? [20:03]
mattx86meh, lets just throw the anchor at it :)
hrm..would you guys mind answering a few questions about apache on freebsd?
I attempted to install www/apache22 from ports like: make WITH_MPM=itk install
[20:03]
nestamake config (tick the box) is what I would do [20:07]
mattx86I think it gave me an error actually, saying its already installed, but upon doing 'make deinstall' and then redoing my make command (above) gave the same error [20:07]
nestaor try anyway, duno if thats in the option s [20:07]
mattx86ah, make config
let me see
[20:07]
RandalSchwartzI just say "portinstall apache22" :)
what does "WITH_MPM=..." give you?
[20:08]
mattx86er, well, its supposed to compile in the 'itk' MPM for apache, but I can't tell that it's doing it [20:09]
RandalSchwartzand what does that do for you?
I don't know what "itk" is
[20:10]
mattx86oh, well its used to run vhosts as a specific uid/gid, instead of www/www for instance, for every vhost on the server [20:11]
RandalSchwartzahh. evil. [20:11]
mattx86:P
so, one vhost might be owned by bob:bob, and another by jane:jane
this way bob can't read jane's php configuration files and get her mysql password for instance :)
[20:11]
mike-burnsI knew "PHP" would be mentioned in the explanation. I just knew it. [20:14]
mattx86:) [20:14]
RandalSchwartzYeah. PHP ... generally evil. [20:14]
mattx86I have been meaning to try RoR and/or python though
I'm a bit burnt out on web development at the moment
[20:14]
RandalSchwartzall equally evil :) [20:15]
mattx86changes every time you turn around, for one thing [20:15]
mike-burnsThe Web is lame. Do server or mobile development. [20:15]
RandalSchwartzSmalltalk Seaside
Intra-hit debugging
nothing else has it
[20:15]
mike-burnsIntra-hit debugging?
Is that the name of that feature where when the user encounters an error they get a Web UI with a debugger?
[20:15]
RandalSchwartzhit a page... something breaks... up comes a debugger. poke around, fix the code, hit "proceed". browser refreshes with the hit that *would* have been had you done the right code initially
so you are debugging in the *middle* of a web hit
[20:16]
mike-burnsI don't see the real world use of that. [20:17]
RandalSchwartzRandalSchwartz drops jaw
seriously?
[20:17]
mike-burnsNot sure if I ever even look at Web pages that I develop anymore. [20:17]
***j3m has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [20:17]
RandalSchwartzhow many times do you noodle on your site, only to hit a problem? [20:17]
mike-burnsNever? [20:18]
RandalSchwartzOK - you just lost cred there. [20:18]
mike-burnsI don't actively use the Web, and I basically never use a site I've built. [20:18]
RandalSchwartzYeah, this isn't for you then [20:18]
***j3m has joined #arpnetworks [20:18]
RandalSchwartztoo smart for you [20:18]
mike-burnsToo "integration test? What's that?" for me. [20:18]
RandalSchwartzin spite of all tests, s**t happens [20:19]
mike-burnsYeah, and when it does you write a test. [20:19]
RandalSchwartzseaside helps you undo that crap [20:19]
***b0ne is now known as bone [20:19]
mike-burnsShit happens to the user, not to me. [20:19]
RandalSchwartzright - figure out the test when you can't remember how you got there
as in, all you know is you have a divide by 0 RIGHT NOW
and you want it to NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN
[20:19]
mike-burnsWas I in the middle of something else? I'd probably want to make a ticket/story/whatever for that so I can get back to it later. [20:20]
RandalSchwartzSeaside gives you a chance to fix that
mike-burns - again, seriouslY?
[20:20]
mattx86ah, www.seaside.st right? interesting.. I'd never heard of this [20:21]
RandalSchwartzyou can always remember all the buttons you hit to get to a problem?
you are like... Data from star trek
not human
[20:21]
mike-burnsI never can, no, but if a 500 happens in a Rails or other CGI-based app it's usually because of the input sent in. [20:21]
RandalSchwartzI'm talking to the rest of the channel, made of humans [20:21]
mike-burnsSo I make a ticket with the backtrace and the environment and go back to it later. [20:22]
RandalSchwartzmike-burns in my experienece, it's rarely the single hit that made it blwo up
it's some sort of state that my server side got into
you're insane if you think that every web hit is independent
[20:22]
mike-burnsAh, I don't see that much. Sometimes, maybe once a month or so, the DB gets into a weird state, but that's not the majority of what I see. [20:23]
RandalSchwartzAt this point, I'm writing you off as naive. [20:23]
mike-burnsI think mutation and state is imporant and the #1 cause of errors, but I don't see how giving the end user a debugger helps anyone. [20:23]
RandalSchwartzso for the rest of the channel, yes, Seaside rocks
no, not end user
just in dev
[20:23]
mike-burnsYou actively use a Web site while developing it? [20:24]
RandalSchwartzRandalSchwartz rolls eyes at the non-human [20:24]
mike-burnsIs it like, write some code, hit reload, write some code, hit reload, over and over? [20:24]
mattx86something to that effect, that's been my experience in PHP ;) [20:25]
RandalSchwartzno - but eventually, you dink around on the site to make sure everything is good
or you are demoing it to your client
and that's exactly when problems happen
and you WANT to get to the source quickly
[20:25]
mike-burnsI honestly haven't had anything crop up since we've started doing integration-level test-driven development. [20:25]
RandalSchwartzyeah, that'll find 80% of it [20:26]
mike-burnsThe problems we face these days are more like scaling issues or other giant things. [20:26]
RandalSchwartzI'm talking about the other 20% [20:26]
mike-burnsOr JavaScript. [20:26]
RandalSchwartzSeriously, dude. You've never dinked around on your site and said "oh, that's not right"
ever ever ever
[20:27]
mike-burnsI'm sure I have, but I didn't need a debugger to know what to fix. [20:27]
RandalSchwartzRandalSchwartz sighs
ok... hello mr. IQ of 250
[20:27]
mike-burnsI just wrote a test to repeat what I just did, then made the test pass.
This isn't something brilliant, it's just programming.
[20:27]
RandalSchwartzand sites that don't have a lot of serial state [20:27]
mike-burnsYeah it's a nice luxury.
If we had lots of serial state I'd have to use something like Seaside. It has a great debugger for that.
[20:28]
RandalSchwartzsir - I've been programming for 40 years. I *do* speak from some experience.
either you aren't doing anything complicated, or you are glossing over something.
there's no third option.
[20:28]
mike-burnsI don't do anything complicated. [20:29]
RandalSchwartzYeah, therein lies the rub then [20:29]
mike-burnsOr if I do, it's very complicated. We push back on anything in between. [20:29]
***RandalSchwartz has left [20:29]
mike-burnsWell I uh.
Was it something I said?
[20:29]
mattx86er :o [20:30]
nestano, mike-burns I do not think so
er , in wrong place
lol
[20:30]
mattx86mattx86 thinks the channel needs a strong dose of "chill pills" heh
from what I've seen in here tonight
[20:31]
mike-burnsAnyway, Seaside is neat and something like it is a great abstraction layer for serial state.
I'm suspicious of any continuation-based Web server after working on the PLT Scheme one, though.
[20:31]
mattx86just sounds like an improved version of php sessions [20:32]
mike-burnsHeh, it can sound like that. [20:33]
mattx86hm.. so what all web languages do you use, mike-burns? [20:34]
mike-burnsI do Rails all day. [20:34]
mattx86what's your rails development environment like?
not textmate, I take it :)
[20:35]
mike-burnsHa, vim. All vim, all day. [20:35]
mattx86er w/e its called for osx :)
ah
[20:35]
mike-burnsI actually co-teach a Vim for Rails course. [20:36]
mattx86I've been a PHP man myself, ever since about 2001. [20:36]
mike-burnsThat's a long time in one language! [20:36]
mattx86I've been using Komodo IDE for it here lately
yeah, probably explains why I'm burnt out ;P
[20:37]
mike-burnsI try to change languages every three years or so. [20:37]
mattx86that'd be a good idea, atleast to see whats out there
vim though, seriously?
[20:38]
mike-burnsSure, why not? [20:39]
mattx86I learned the basic usage for vi/vim, but its not as straight-forward as gnu nano or a gui editor
imo
[20:39]
nestaI love vi [20:39]
mattx86of course, I grew up with windows and notepad :) [20:40]
mike-burns"Intuitive" just refers to what you're used to. [20:40]
mattx86yeah, I suppose it does
so, how might you maneuver around in vi/vim on a regular basis?
I just go into insert mode, hit escape, type :wq and hit enter, myself ;)
[20:41]
mike-burnsWell I mean, basically half the keyboard is dedicated to maneuvering around vim. [20:42]
nestaI am a total noob with it so I use arrow keys >_<
but I love it as an editor
I can't use nano anymore
[20:43]
mike-burnsI tend not to be in insert mode. [20:43]
mattx86of course, other than insert mode being 'simple', how else do you enter text?
if I'm not mistaken
[20:44]
mike-burnsLike, I don't enter a lot of text. It's mostly navigating around the file, jumping to definitions of methods, maybe generating some code, refactoring, etc. [20:45]
mattx86do you use rails' scaffolding alot? [20:46]
mike-burnsNever. [20:46]
mattx86course, what I do know of rails is just from the 10-minute blog videos and the like heh
but how else do you generate code?
[20:47]
mike-burnsSo I'll write the code to migrate the database (add a table, delete a column, etc), then have vim generate the inverse migration (delete a table, add a column, etc).
Or I'll split a view into some partials and vim fills in the right function calls in the old view.

IPv6Freelyhad this conversation with somebody earlier today... im a network engineer, so for me, i just have zero interest in spending my time making my OS work when i could be spending my time making my routers work.
so say what you want about osx, call me computer illiterate, i dont care - it just works, and thats my #1 concern.
10 years ago i would have enjoyed playing with linux or freebsd on my desktop, but at this point in my career, i just dont have time for it.

nestaI like it because it's like a pretty version of FreeBSD, I spent years with FreeBSD and various linux on laptops and now I have a Mac and I think it's great. freeBSD on my vps ... all set :) [23:59]

nestayeah I got tired of it eventually
I prefer to have a server to twiddle with
life is too consuming to be working on your damn laptop all the time
