dxtrRandalSchwartz:
What's the difference between shell, eshell and terminal in emacs?
Wich one should I use? And isn't it possible to somehow be able use curses stuff in the emacs terminal?

RandalSchwartzdxtr? [06:16]
dxtrRandalSchwartz: I've done some research now and found Multiterm
But it still kind of sucks. The cursor travels over the entire screen, the output isn't correct in ncurses apps and stuff
[06:19]
RandalSchwartzshell = a real /bin/sh attached to a pty
eshell = faked shell, simulated as much as possible with emacs native ops
terminal = a real /bin/sh, but with terminal mode emulation
I don't need an emacs window handle full-screen stuff
I run emacs inside screen
so when I need full-screen stuff, I pop into a new screen
that does a far better job than emacs does
[06:19]
dxtrDarn :)
I was hoping Xemacs could do it for me
[06:21]
RandalSchwartzI don't use Xemacs either
or emacs in X11 mode
I *do* use emacs in Cocoa mode though
[06:21]
dxtrTo be fair it's emacs in X11 mode :P
I thought they were the same
[06:22]
RandalSchwartz"they"?
which two?
Xemacs != emacs
two different source trees
with different philosophies
lots of sharing, but lots of separation
Xemacs forked from emacs when RMS woudln't allow something back in the day
and remains forked since
I'm sure there's a story on that in wikip :)
[06:22]
dxtrOh, cool
I didn't know that
[06:23]
RandalSchwartzahh - it was originally a fork in 1990 for Lucid Inc [06:24]
dxtrbut.. but.. So Emacs won't do the job for me? :) [06:24]
RandalSchwartzwhat job?
you asked about features, not goals
I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish
and what your constraints are
[06:24]
dxtrWell, I want to replace (u)xterm [06:26]
RandalSchwartzand I don't know what that is. :) [06:26]
dxtrxterm? [06:26]
RandalSchwartzare you talking about x11 xterm? [06:26]
dxtrYeah [06:26]
RandalSchwartzYeah, I don't use those. [06:26]
dxtrWhat are you using :D [06:27]
RandalSchwartzTerminal.app client side. A window inside screen on the server side
and one of those windows is my emacs
I also use cocoa emacs on clientside
[06:27]
dxtrMkay [06:27]
RandalSchwartzoccasionaly I also use terminal emac inside Terminal.app on client side :)
mostly when I need a root emacs
"sudo emacs -Q"
[06:27]
dxtrI found two awesome things the other day
emacsclient o
[06:28]
RandalSchwartzyeah... I have that running [06:28]
dxtrI forgot the second thing :/ [06:28]
RandalSchwartzI also set VISUAL to "emacsclient" for subshells
(setenv "EDITOR" "/usr/local/bin/emacsclient") (setenv "PAGER" "/bin/cat") (server-start)
that way... shell-mode doesn't try to "page" a doc
since I can do that with scrolling anyway
[06:28]
dxtrOh cool [06:29]
RandalSchwartzand if it ever needs to edit something (crontab -e), a separate window will pop up in my current editor
this has been working well for me. I don't have X11 clients installed on my servers
just "screen emacs" launched about once a month
[06:30]
dxtrWhy aren't you using tmux? :) [06:32]
RandalSchwartzTerminal.app -> ssh -> screen -> emacs -> irc.el for this window for example
I looked at tmux... I'd have to completely relearn things
and I didn't see any way to do the most common thing I do. I forgot what it is at the moment.

RandalSchwartzscreen works fine for now [06:33]
dxtrHehe, righ
right*
RandalSchwartz: You made me teach my girlfriend rsync
How does that feel?
:)
she's downloading stuff from me all the time now :/
Abusing my connection
And when using emacsclient; what is the "correct" way to save-and-kill the buffers? I use C-x C-s C-x C-k now
[06:35]
RandalSchwartzheh
be sure you learn about "--filter='. -'"
include/exclude in every possible combination
ignore in source, ignore in dest, copy, etc
[06:40]
dxtrHmm, right [06:45]
RandalSchwartzI used to have a complex series of --include and --exclude, to decide what to mirror from my server to my laptop
now it's much easier to read and edit as just "+" and "-"
rsync $FLAGS --filter='. -' $SRC $DST <<EOF
+ foo
+ bar
- bar/bletch
EOF
[06:45]
dxtrOh that's cool [06:47]
RandalSchwartzYeah... I can't believe I didn't see that before
oh yeah, first line "- *~"
no point in transferring emacs backups :)
as for emacs client, I'm doing it within a subshell
so it pops up a window in my current emacs
I save that ^X ^S then stop recurisive edit... I forget that char sequence but my fingers know
ahh.. just tryied it... ^X #
so ^X ^S ^X #
it actually reminds me with the message line :)
[06:48]
dxtr:D
Fuck yeah! mpc.el <3
[07:03]
...... (idle for 28mn)
RandalSchwartzwhat's mpc.el? [07:31]
dxtrIt controls mpd from emacs [07:31]
RandalSchwartzwhat's mpd? [07:31]
dxtrmusic player daemon :
:)
[07:31]
RandalSchwartzahh. I have itunes :) [07:31]
dxtrI think it's too much bloat in iTunes [07:32]
RandalSchwartzwell - for just a music player, yes
but it also handles all my iphone sync
and app installation
[07:32]
dxtrThat's true
I haven't got an iphone so :P
[07:32]
RandalSchwartzand now itunes U :) [07:33]
dxtrI think I'll be going to the store in a couple of minutes [07:33]

jdoetoddf: on vmware it's done through the guest utilities
wow
that was WAY delayed :P
sorry :P
[11:44]
toddfjdoe: heh guest utilities, well thats the typical userland stuff, vmt(4) on OpenBSD is a kernel driver to use the publically documented interface to vmware as used by the guest utilities [11:51]
jdoethe part I'm thinking of is kernelspace on linux/fbsd as well.
I'm not sure if it semi-exposes the hardware clock or how it works exactly, I never really paid it much mind.

dxtrOh hey guys
My new domain registrar is retarded
[12:44]
phluxwho is your new registrar? [12:45]
dxtrnamecheap.com [12:46]
phluxah
I've been using GoDaddy since like..2002/2003
[12:48]
dxtrI just switched from them :P [12:48]
phluxany reasons why? [12:49]
dxtrWell, I hated their interface, that they constantly spammed me with useless crap and I've heard so much bad about them [12:50]
phluxah
well, I've heard people complain, but my personal experience with them has always been great.
[12:51]
dxtrPlus their "hide-my-stuff-from-whois" was a little too expensive
BUT THEY DON'T SUPPORT IPV6
HOW CAN THEY NOT SUPPORT IPV6!?
Namecheap.com that is
I'll have to mail their developer(s) so he/them can add it manuallly
manually
Kim Lidstrom: Oh well, thanks for you time
Alexander K.: Not at all. It was a pleasure to help you.
[12:51]
.... (idle for 17mn)
phluxI don't think the registrar has anything to do with ipv6..
My IPv6 stuff is handled with my VPSes.
[13:12]
ziyourenxiangsome DNS registrars provide DNS service, i.e., their DNS servers can serve your zones/domains authoritatively. [13:21]

I bet *they* support v6
Hmm. can't tell from website. just mailed them.

mattx86dxtr: btw, if you switch to namecheap's DNS v2 system for your domain(s), you can add AAAA records, and they do seem to work
dxtr: only downside is that namecheap's DNS servers are *not* available over IPv6
dxtr: which may or may not be a big deal, but I chose to go with dns.he.net for free dns
dxtr: if you want a registrar with full IPv6 support, I found out recently that name.com atleast supports AAAA records and queries over IPv6.. I think they support IPv6 "glue", but I'm not sure
I should point out that http://dns.he.net does have full IPv6 support... they just don't have some of the extra goodies yet, like web redirects
if you need IPv6 "glue" with namecheap, I recently read that you would need to contact them to have them do it for you manually
they said they are working on it, but that thread hadn't been updated in a few months IIRC
working on having the IPv6 glue feature available in the web interface, that is
also, FWIW, I believe I read that name.com is planning to have an "Enable DNSSEC" button in their web GUI eventually
supposed to make it easy to switch on DNSSEC

so all my peers went down
[22:20]
mattx86hey, who is it here that runs 4or6.com?
in any case, I've added 4 more EU VPS providers to the list and one more US provider :o
speaking of which, does arp have any plans to move into EU?
[22:25]
up_the_ironsmattx86: not sure if the owner of 4or6.com hangs out in here. no plans on EU right now; there's enough to do just in LA :) [22:27]
mattx86ah, that's cool :)
see, I have a project I'm interested in doing, and I'm planning on getting a vps from arp and one in EU
so if you guys decide to go there, I'd be happy to get the service from you there as well

amdprophetup_the_irons: ah nice lol, glad to see that our monitoring software works well :p
by the time I got the email saying it was down it was already back up, your network is solid
much much better than vpslink

mattx86amdprophet: didn't vpslink basically go down the tubes after it was sold? [22:41]
amdprophetwho bought them? spry? [22:41]
mattx86rather, it got worse
nah, someone else i thought... i thought spry was the original owner
[22:41]
amdprophetah maybe
we were only on them when they were owned by spry
they had 2 or 3 power outages during the time we were with them
[22:41]
mattx86ah, that's not good [22:42]
amdprophettheir hard disk system was horrible too, we were always being slowed down by other people on the same dom0 as us
180 minutes to boot our server
after the power outage
[22:42]
up_the_ironsamdprophet: ah, sweet [22:44]
amdprophetthat's when we switched to arp :P [22:44]
up_the_irons180 minutes? wowzers [22:44]
amdprophetyup lol
and we've tried a few other providers for new projects, like gigenet cloud
moved that project from them to arp
[22:45]
up_the_ironswhat was wrong with gigenet cloud? i see their advertising slamming VPS's ;) [22:46]
amdprophetprice for performance can't even compare to what you offer
not to mention they were slapping hidden charges on to us
[22:46]
up_the_ironsouch
i c
[22:57]
***synack- has quit IRC (Quit: Lost terminal) [22:59]
mattx86gigenet cloud seemed awesome, but if you get down to the nitty gritty, apparently bandwidth and/or disk isn't included in the base price of $10/mo
plus, no ipv6 support
and they may be paravirtual-only... cant remember
it'd be nice if someone came along with a cloud service that offered: ipv6, full hardware virtualization, live migrations possible, and you're only billed for the bandwidth and diskspace used (if that diskspace part is feasible)
[23:09]
amdprophetyea that would be neat [23:13]
mattx86guaranteed ram and plenty of cpu to go around
yeah
can filesystems dynamically shrink/grow yet?
or that something for the future of cloud systems
heh
[23:13]
amdprophetI think some of them can [23:15]
mattx86wouldn't that be awesome? [23:15]
amdprophetit would [23:15]
mattx86you set the the threshold for available space, and it grows with you
in turn, you get billed for how much is allocated to you
[23:15]
amdprophetI think it would be neat if you could get billed for how much you use [23:16]
up_the_ironsext3 can be grown/shrunk, but ufs2 can only be grown. one of the reasons cloud providers can't offer the *BSDs [23:16]
mattx86true, but honestly, how well would that work out
if it's allocated, it's allocated
ah, so this is technically do-able, perhaps? :)
[23:16]
up_the_ironsi still fundamentally believe the cloud audience and my vps audience is different. cloud people are looking for transient VMs ("I need 100 VMs for this 4 day number crunch") and my VPS audience is looking for permanent VMs ("My mail server needs to be up always") [23:18]
mattx86up_the_irons: right, unfortunately, that's what I came to realize..
it's too bad there's not a compromise
with ipv6 support i might add :)
[23:19]
up_the_ironsperhaps it is hard to do; it would be hard for me to do it, that's why i don't ;) [23:19]
mattx86so instead of paying for all this bandwidth and all this disk space every month, we're only billed for what's used
ah
i cant believe that no one has such a service yet.. but hopefully its not too much further away
with that said, you do have some awesome prices for a vps :)
[23:20]
up_the_ironsmattx86: the bandwidth part of that is doable, much harder on the disk [23:22]
mattx86right
I fear that if/when that comes around, it will almost surely be an extra layer, similar to doing xen PV; you have to modify the distro until it becomes 'standard'
[23:22]
up_the_ironsyeah [23:23]
mattx86the kernel anyways
oh well, time will tell
