How do you guys all set your time zones?  I've got mine set to eastern, since I live here, even though the box is technically located in pacific.
awyeah: for the shell or your IRC client
$ cat ok/home/nefilim/.irssi/startup
LOAD fish
script exec $ENV{'TZ'}='GMT-1';
or put an export in your bahs_profile
for the system
the actual system time zoner.
awyeah
time zone set differently depending on OS
must've been from last night. :)
yeah?
reason I do it is because it's less work when I'm looking throughl ogs.
awyeah: yeah, I do the same, regardless of the box's physical location
awyeah - I'm answering your question
the timezone settings depend on the OS
so ... which OS?
and again, crickets. :)
awyeah?
maybe he has me on ignore
I don't think he meant so much as how to set it, but what's your preference when it comes to setting the system timezone.  e.g., I live where the timezone is CDT, although at one time I had a VPS in NY/NJ, which is EDT
ah
yeah, I'm lucky in that my primary timezone is PT
and now my machine also is
but even when it was in texas, I used PT
but I'd still set the VPS timezone to CDT
ah, yeah
when I travel for work, I still have a lot of activities tied to PT anyway
so having the machine time be PT is a nice reminder
my vps thinks it's in GMT
(the only REAL timezone)
it's right down there at the bottom of the emacs window constantly :)
actually, i'm wrong - at the minute mine's in BST :)
because over here we're pretending it's summer
heh :)
my machine's on TAI... 34 seconds behind y'all. :)
damn leap seconds.
no wait... ahead of you.
heh heh
:)
no
randal you're not on ignore, I'm at work right now ;)
So I can only pay a little attention to IRC.
But yeah, that's what I was asking
I have everything set to eastern so that logs match up, basically.
hello, how is everyone this morning?
hi there
hey buddy
they got 8.1 installed on my vps, i cant get the ip/hostname to ping and dont have a log-in but im a step ckiser ;)
step (closer
ergonomical keyb
cramped hands at this old age
hehe
what up dawgs
waiting on a response email and yourself?'
finishing up my SSL VPN config
IPv6Freely - what kind of SSL VPN?
im having 90 kinds of hell with this, heh
Juniper SA2500
ah neat.
JacobWilson: not anymore eh?
:)
JacobWilson: to clear up possible confusion -- we didn't put 8.1 on your VPS, we put the .ISO in the CD-ROM.  It is your responsibility to install it.  Or, we can give you the stock 8.0 image it came with
it would appear to have 8.1 installed on it :)
with custom partitions
lol
anyhow it should be fine on that one, up_the_irons :)
I helped him out
nesta: ah ok, i thought JacobWilson said "they" and meant me ;)
I wonder what he means myself soemtimes :-o
hehe
I _do_ wonder who did that install though.. 8.1 with custom partitions and no users added
hehe
So I'm doing my first full tarsnap backup.
I think I'm going to start using it instead of what I'm doing today.
I like how I can have a key on my system that can ONLY write to tarsnap, and I can keep the key with full privileges somewhere else.
awyeah: yea man, its super slick.
Yeh
seems like it.
tarsnap is great
It's just, there's basically only a man page for it.
I've been spoiled so much the past few years because there's FAQs and HOWTOs for everything.
i found the website quite handy
basically, I'm just using the example to back up /
I figure if I ever totally crash, I could tarsnap -x to / and be good with it?
not entirely sure tbh - that sounds right
i'm only using it to back up a few bits of source code :)
Hm
I really should test that concept.
Does it run on Linux too?
Cause then I could fire up a VM on rackspace cloud to test it,
not sure tbh
not have to pay much.
can't see why it wouldn't?
only used it on freebsd :)
ah well
lol lag.
wonder if that was freenode or arp.
freenode I imagine
it was freenode...or well..their ircd providers.
woo that was a heck of a split
:)
