RandalSchwartz | weird... I can't reach red.stonehenge.com from miredo any more. only proper ipv6
but I can get to ipv6.google.com from miredo and also from red.stonehenge.com :) so there's some sort of weird split with regard to miredo gateways s/miredo/teredo/g if that makes more sense to you miredo is a specific implementation of teredo | [10:30] |
..... (idle for 24mn) | ||
toddf | there's a reason comcast concluded native dual stack is better than tunneling varients | [10:55] |
RandalSchwartz | well - oddly, I can ping red from my he.net tunnel
but not from my laptop (teredo assigned) so it's probably some discontinuity in the teredo overlap | [10:59] |
toddf | traceroute6 ? | [11:02] |
RandalSchwartz | one row of stars
one row of !A from my addr 2001::4137:9e74:0:5331:33f2:5cdb lemme traceroute the other direction | [11:04] |
toddf | !A = "access to the network is prohibited" | [11:06] |
RandalSchwartz | Yeah - weird.
so from red to my miredo node... fail from my miredo node to red... fail but red to anywhere else, or my miredo to anywhere else, no problem and my he.net tunnel node can get to everything too the only forbidden address is red. I suspect something is misconfigured near ARP then Hmm. I remember up_the_irons mentioning something about running a teredo node "again" maybe he started, but broke the config. that would explain why arp <-> teredo is disconnected | [11:07] |
toddf | I will be glad when such head wrenching tunnel look alike stuff is gone | [11:14] |

wallshot | he.net needs ipv6 tests for mysql, pgsql, and sshd
i was noticing my mysql bound to 127.0.0.1 thinking it should be bound to ipv6 localhost too | [11:30] |
jpalmer | except, mysql and pgsql shouldn't be publically available in all but a few specific cases ;) | [11:35] |
wallshot | true
but they are used over lans all the time appX connecting to sqlY and i shouldn't have to setup an ipv4 lan just for a webapp to talk to a db across the lan though making it available for he.net to connect to is asking a bit much probably | [11:35] |

up_the_irons | RandalSchwartz: my 6to4 gateway was killed long ago; you shouldn't see issues b/c of that | [12:24] |
RandalSchwartz | I wonder what the problem could be then
miredo to everywhere except arp - ok arp to everywhere except miredo - ok miredo to arp - dead although, maybe not *everywhere* maybe it's even more local anyone have a v6 at arp I could ping? www.arpnetworks.com has no AAAA record pshaw! | [12:26] |
wallshot | ping6 ipv6.google.com ? 6-for.me ? | [12:30] |
RandalSchwartz | oh weird. now it works fine. | [12:30] |
wallshot | oh at arp | [12:30] |
RandalSchwartz | maybe a temporary bad route? | [12:30] |
wallshot | 6-for.me is at arp

vcs | wow, for OpenBSD runnin on KVM, the I/O speed is not bad at all
not sure how you guys do it o.O | [13:42] |
tinono | I guess the hosts are not your ordinary laptop with a 5400rpm drive :-p | [13:44] |
vcs | haha | [13:47] |
mhoran | Nah, 7200 RPM. ;) | [13:53] |
toddf | vcs: you will find as we have that the thundering herd problems can occur, but due to strategic modification of crontabs this is mostly a non issue; if everybody access the disks then the io can get saturated for bits of time, but last i heard about that issue was 6 months ago; I kid you not the vps at arp is faster than my real hw laptop | [13:54] |
vcs | haha | [13:55] |
toddf | (and if you end up doing any kernel debugging, infinitely more useful) | [13:56] |
vcs | i tested out KVM on one of my colo boxes the other day with OpenBSD, of course I did not do much optimizations, etc, and ran the disk ontop of ext3, but i was getting 1M/S there
where i just tested and get 22M/S here | [13:56] |
toddf | filesystem is not going to matter as much as the underlying disk infrastructure
fast raid foo backs the vps's at arp | [13:57] |
vcs | yeah this was not on raid, running on an already overstressed hard disk
lol | [13:57] |

or maybe it's APCI the VM sends a "power down" signal first to your OS if your OS does the right thing, no need for them to log in I don't have their login on any of my boxes. :) vcs? | [20:38] |

vcs | alpine linux looks nice, never heard of it before
i have always wondered why so many distros resist PaX by default sure RHEL/Cent have exec shield, but everyone else? | [21:52] |
mattx86 | yeah | [21:53] |
vcs | selinux / apparmour is nice... but that is not fixing the root of most problems
also selinux / apparmour cause alot of problems when not configured perfectly or using 3rd party software | [21:53] |
mattx86 | btw, alpine is reminiscent of arch, but in my view, alpine is more server-oriented than arch, what with all the server packages that are available | [21:54] |

I love archlinux its my desktop distro | [21:54] |

interesting though | [21:58] |
vcs | I just sleep better at night with OpenBSD :P | [21:58] |
mattx86 | yeah, sounds reasonable
my problem with openbsd is that there's only a handful of packages available but then again, I haven't tried openbsd in like 6 years probably basically took one look and said wtf ;) | [21:59] |
vcs | well, all the important stuff for me (postgres, mysql, postfix, apache, bind) have packages in the repos available
and most of them are chrooted by default also alot of other misc packages I have found in there as well | [22:00] |
mattx86 | then moved onto freebsd and finally netbsd, before going with debian and then ubuntu server edition
I may have to check it out again | [22:01] |
vcs | if you also look at OpenBSD security advisories, they have very few nowdays.
because they fixed almost everything already :P | [22:02] |
mattx86 | nice :) | [22:02] |
vcs | but yeah, I was pleasently supprised to find packages like znc, irssi, xchat, fluxbox, etc

pulseaudio, upstart, and the noveua driver have caused alot of problems of course noveau is not ubuntu exclusive but pulseaudio and upstart have had alot of problems for many users | [22:07] |
mattx86 | same for opensuse.. some issues anyways | [22:08] |
vcs | its funny how stable archlinux is, considering the rolling release system and new package versions | [22:08] |
mattx86 | I remember the time pulseaudio allowed me to turn the volume up to like 3000% or some crap
boy was that loud | [22:08] |
vcs | haha | [22:09] |
mattx86 | wonder it didn't wake the household
(at night) | [22:09] |
vcs | I wrote a projectM plugin for exaile music player to bypass having to use pulseaudio
the thing ticked me off so much hardware mixing and dmix work fine, thanks :) | [22:09] |
mattx86 | wait, archlinux is 'stable' ?
oh man, the package updates breaking stuff is what drove me away from arch but that's been 4-5 years ago | [22:10] |
vcs | hmm well i have several arch systems i have been running 2-3 years with little to no problems
seems to me like they have some real talent making / maintaining packages these days maybe all the old tallnt from gentoo jumped ship ;) | [22:11] |
mattx86 | like, you would constantly have to update files in /etc in order to maintain a bootable system..
sometimes you'd have to watch the website and/or forums for workarounds o_O | [22:12] |
vcs | i think that has maybe happened to me once with /etc/shadow | [22:12] |
mattx86 | while in the mean time, you mostly had to wait it out | [22:12] |

mattx86 | but if you're not experiencing update hell with arch, then I'll give it another go as well
I absolutely hate updating the same 5 files in /etc for every update that comes out for it or what not | [22:13] |
vcs | heh, i have not really noticed much of that at all with these 3 boxs | [22:14] |
mattx86 | the move to udev I think it was, was a nightmare | [22:15] |
vcs | haha
yeah... | [22:15] |
mattx86 | on top of the issues that had cropped up prior to that | [22:15] |
vcs | well linux was still maturing alot in those past years | [22:16] |
mattx86 | I'm hoping things will kinda level off for a bit, but before you know it, we'll be at kernel 2.8 lol | [22:16] |
vcs | haha yeah
2.6 is shaping up pretty nicely | [22:17] |
mattx86 | yeah | [22:17] |
vcs | still wish more hardware vendors would play nicer | [22:17] |
mattx86 | I'm sitting happy currently with nvidia and the recent support of my creative x-fi sound card
well, x-fi support has been around for the past year or two actually | [22:18] |
vcs | nvidia makes a nice blob | [22:18] |
mattx86 | heh that they do :P | [22:18] |
vcs | their drivers are top notch imo, i just wish they would merge it into the kernel tree :X
so i would not have to recompile for custom kernels all the time | [22:18] |
mattx86 | I do for every kernel update on opensuse
but I should see about going back to nvidia repo updates and what not cant remember what issue i had with it I recently made out a checklist for kernel updates heh | [22:19] |
vcs | the only driver besides nvidia that works on my 7800gt is vesa
nv and noveau crash my system i suppose thats because poor hardware documentation well, no hardware documentation nvidia should at least open source 2d acceleration | [22:20] |
mattx86 | had nvidia not opened up at all? | [22:21] |
vcs | nope
ATI/AMD did, but the results are not useable yet | [22:21] |
mattx86 | well, as long as linux remains strong and nvidia continues to develop drivers for it, I'm happy | [22:21] |
vcs | yeah | [22:22] |
mattx86 | yeah, that's what I'd heard - it was ATI/AMD that opened up | [22:22] |
vcs | still though, writing drivers for those cards are no joke | [22:22] |
mattx86 | maybe nvidia will follow suit, but that may be years from now | [22:22] |
vcs | nvidia cant because of NDA's they signed with their contractors
or something like that | [22:22] |
mattx86 | ah | [22:23] |
vcs | some sort of agreements and IP liscenseing | [22:23] |
mattx86 | doesn't that sort of thing expire after a while? or would they likely have to rewrite it all from scratch if they were going to
wouldn't that be something if nvidia supported one of the open source drivers, in favor of their own proprietary drivers | [22:23] |
vcs | if its anything like US patent law
will expire in 10 trillion years | [22:25] |
mattx86 | heh wow | [22:25] |
vcs | well im off to bed, got work early in the AM, was good talking to you | [22:27] |
