dxtr: RandalSchwartz: Will I experience much performance loss if I have a 4GB and a 2GB memory stick in my macbook?
Both are DDR3 1066MHz ofcourse
Or doesn't it matter?
I could only afford one memory stick right now (Yes, I'm on a very tight budget :D)
I'm asking you because, well, you seem to know much :D

robotarm_ has joined #arpnetworks
dxtr: If any, ofcourse
RandalSchwartz: I just buy whatever works in my mac. :)
and I'd only be googling for an answer.
I'm not your googlebot :)
might depend on which macbook too
I remember early ones had problems with "imbalanced" memory
but I don't recall that for modern ones
dxtr: I didn't ask you to google it, I just thought if you knew about any issues performance-wise on top of your head :)
robotarm_: upgrading to openbsd 4.8
without vnc i wouldn't have this option
and if openbsd didn't write itself so i could get the bsd.rd from 4.8 through the 4.7 install cd and boot it and install over ftp i wouldn't be able to do it.
vcs: hehe
im waiting for gary to attatch the 4.8 cd to my VM :)
robotarm_: that is a good idea
vcs: i already loaded up 4.8 at the office
triple nic firewall/gateway with OpenVPN
its running great
robotarm_: one of the reasons i run openbsd is that i went to school with a bunch of the maintainers - in Edmonton,AB - bob beck taught me c
vcs: I run OpenBSD because its free, functional, and secure :)
robotarm_: i like that they review the code very actively.
vcs: yes
RandalSchwartz: I run FreeBSD because it has ZFS on /, a huge ports collection, the PF firewall, and is *not* linux. :)
vcs: hehe
fair enough
jpalmer: I run the OS's I run, because they got the job done. ;)
mike-burns: I run the OSes I run because I know them.
robotarm_: I run OSes i run because i would like to know them.
fink: I run OSes because it's good for my cardio.
robotarm_: lol
bharatak: RandalSchwartz: does freebsd have the concept of boot-image like opensolaris does, so you can run a different snapshot of root on boot?
i've got a home server running opensolaris, but worry about the future

GAH!

dxtr: Uhm, my v4 routing to arpnetworks looks awesome
2 hops. Wtf?
vcs: lol
how is that possible
dxtr: Something is weird. I blame my firewall :P
Anyway, v4 works much better
vcs: Apparently I don't even pass my ISPs gateway
Straight from my router to arp :D
vcs: haha
6 to 4
dxtr: A really long cable, because it's 184ms delay
vcs: i imagine hops are not shows when it is in 6 to 4
thats why its only 2 hops
dxtr: It isn't 6 to 4
vcs: between you and arp?
i seriously doubt it does not go 6 to 4
dxtr: I did a regular ipv4 traceroute
vcs: there is not much native ipv6 routers
ohhh
ipv4 2 hops also?
lol
dxtr: traceroute6 shows the regular hops
plett: From here in the UK, traceroutes to arp on v4 and v6 both look fine
dxtr: plett: Well, I'm close to North Korea :P

phlux: Any staff around..?
I send support a ticket about my VPS being down around 2200 CST
yesterday, that is
Still no response :(
mhoran: Nope. support@ is your best resource.
Should get back within 48 hours.
phlux: sent, rather
That's how I submitted the ticket
mhoran: You could use the support console to boot/reboot/VNC your VM.
phlux: I can't get into the control panel, because I don't know the user name and password (I've never had to use it)
mhoran: Ah.
phlux: I can't reset the password because the e-mail on file is on the VPS that's dead
mhoran: Ha!
phlux: Bad situation feels bad :(
mhoran: Sorry, can't help you there ... :/
RandalSchwartz: told you to email from a gmail account
phlux: I did
RandalSchwartz: and hope you have enough ways to prove it's you
phlux: But I haven't gotten any sort of response
RandalSchwartz: that was only 18 hours ago, right?
phlux: Roughly
RandalSchwartz: you're probably also getting slapped for not already being self-responsible
as in, why the heck didn't you have your console info?
phlux: I never had to use it, as stated previously.
RandalSchwartz: no excuse
fink: phlux: :(
RandalSchwartz: things break
phlux: Sure it is.
RandalSchwartz: you need to know
mhoran: I've minr
RandalSchwartz: it's a BAD excuse
fink: phlux: console is important, in case something bad happens
phlux: I assumed that if there was any type of maintenance/planned downtime, I'd have received some sort of e-mail discussing the matter.
RandalSchwartz: for which you deserve to get at the back of the line
mhoran: tattoo'd to my inner thigh.
RandalSchwartz: it's probably not a planned downtime
it's probably something broken with your VPS
as in, your side of the fault
phlux: I doubt it.
fink: there was downtime?
i didn't notice
phlux: Nothing was being done on the server when it fell.
fink: mine are up
RandalSchwartz: as are mine
some flappage yesterday
phlux: It has been running the same services/processes since the day I got it.
RandalSchwartz: but in general, things are running
still no excuse for you not to know how to console in
fink: phlux: vnc/console are for situations like this
phlux: Still no excuse for you blaming me.
RandalSchwartz: that's the first thing to learn
phlux: Bad day today, Schwartz?
RandalSchwartz: phlux - I'm not blaming you. I'm saying your behavior is ineffective and inconsistent with being reponsible here.
phlux: That's correct, and I'm not arguing that point.
RandalSchwartz: so please fix your behavior
phlux: Not once did I say "No, it's ARP's fault that I don't know my console login information"
RandalSchwartz: yes - but ARP will likely put you at the back of the queue to fix
phlux: You're absolutely correct that I should have that information handy.
RandalSchwartz: since you're asking them for something that they already gave you
phlux: I also read that part.
RandalSchwartz: typical queue is 48 hours
easy requests less
your request, probably more. :)
mhoran: Hey now, we're all friends here!
phlux: Heh
fink: mhoran: just for the record, i've never like you.
RandalSchwartz: friend ... or fink? :)
fink: ;)
+d
mhoran: up_the_irons is a busy guy but he'll get back to you ASAP.
phlux: Aye, I'm sure he will.
mhoran: fink: Noted. ;)
fink: it's kind of stupid when you try to playfully insult people and you can't even spell the insult properly
phlux: I just hope no one takes Schwartz's attitude as a representation of the company's.
RandalSchwartz: which company?
phlux: I had also assumed that my login information was the same as the rest of my VPS providers - but I suppose I was incorrect.
RandalSchwartz: Stonehenge?
fink: phlux: he's cerberus the gatekeeper
bark is worse than his bite, etc
phlux: I'd imagine so.
bah, I have an e-mail with the sales receipt >_<
fink: phlux: check your junk?
amdprophet: phlux: did your VPS ever start working?
phlux: amdprophet: It's been down since around 1800 yesterday
fink: yeah, and my deleted folders
amdprophet: :(
you were on kvr10 right/
phlux: To be entirely honest, I'm not sure.
amdprophet: should shown in your control panel
phlux: Never logged in to it, heh
amdprophet: you could try restarting your VPS through it
RandalSchwartz: he can't access his control panel
amdprophet: ohhhh
RandalSchwartz: he forgot to write down his credentials
amdprophet: great :P
RandalSchwartz: and now he needs garry to do extra work to fix that.
fink: amdprophet: yea, he's "that guy" ;)
phlux: Yes
RandalSchwartz: hence - back of the line
phlux: Please don't strain yourself clicking the "Reset Password," button.
fink: phlux: while you're waiting, we're going to tease you a bit
amdprophet: rofl
phlux: That's fine.
amdprophet: who was the guy I was talking to yesterday who was on kvr10?
phlux: Schwartz has some personal vendetta against me that I'm trying to figure out.
RandalSchwartz: Nope.
phlux: I'm not even sure I've had the pleasure, if one can call it that, of meeting him before this encounter.
RandalSchwartz: it's not personal
it's your behavior
phlux: It's pretty personal.
RandalSchwartz: if another guy came in here tomorrow having done the same thing, I'd be ribbing them EXACTLY the same way
so it's not personal in the slightest
phlux: Because you have nothing better to do?
fink: phlux: i think he has something against the "ph" digraph
RandalSchwartz: no - because I'm hoping that people are *smarter* than that who use ARP's services
because when they aren't, *my* cost goes up
phlux: Ah, I see.
RandalSchwartz: so indirectly, people like you take money out of my pocket.
phlux: Nevermind the fact that I have a career and a family to take care of - my ARP credentials should be my top priority.
I apologize.
RandalSchwartz: so you see, it's very much not personal.
phlux: Actually, if you're in the US, I take a lot of money out of your pocket. Your paycheck, to be clear.
RandalSchwartz: it's about not appreciating the behavior.
fink: phlux: how do you do that??
phlux: I'm in the military. We all pay taxes, so essentially, I pay myself as well ;)
RandalSchwartz: I think he robs banks
Ahh, a jarhead, wishing to kill people for a living.
Figures. :)
fink: RandalSchwartz: he'd forget his keys at home
phlux: Yes, because I carry around weapons.
RandalSchwartz: now it *is* personal. :)
amdprophet: rofl
phlux: I'm in the Coast Guard, you goon.
I'm no "jarhead."
RandalSchwartz: you carry a gun. you defend the coast borders.
phlux: Actually, I don't.
I'm a Pollution Investigator.
fink: phlux: do boats have keys? i've always wondered this
RandalSchwartz: you're trained to carry a gun.
phlux: My rate is Marine Science Technician.
I am not.
I'm not qualified on the pistol or the shotgun.
I have no need to be.
Because again, I don't kill people.
fink: phlux: harpoon?
amdprophet: Stop there pollution! *BAM*
RandalSchwartz: that's a horrible way to run a branch of the military
phlux: I respond to oil spills and chemical releases.
What am I going to need a gun for?
fink: harpoon!
phlux: We have other people in the CG trained for that.
fink: a spear at least?
RandalSchwartz: a pointy stick?
phlux: A pocket knife, perhaps.
amdprophet: I want a pointy stick :<
fink: maybe phlux's expertise is in losing important emails ;)
phlux: this ^
amdprophet: LOL
fink: phlux: out of curiosity, what's on your vps?
webserver?
phlux: An e-mail server, a web server, and a private IRCd.
amdprophet: Mine is filled with lots of por.... websites
RandalSchwartz: "oh my gawd, it's full of stars!"
fink: LOL
phlux: OS?
jdoe: mine's turtles all the way down...
amdprophet: I'm running 5 VPS's all with Windows, being paid by Microsoft to boost their numbers :)
RandalSchwartz: my VPS should be running VMWare Server. :)
then I can resell my machine to others. :)
amdprophet: rofl
a VM in a VM
RandalSchwartz: open up rarpnetworks.com :)
amdprophet: ROFL
RandalSchwartz: "yes - we have reliable machines"
"just look at our provider's uptimes!"
fink: amdprophet: now that is funny
RandalSchwartz: I'd set up my own VNC-within-VNC
fink: "we need to go deeper"
RandalSchwartz: "your area is the upper left corner of this other vnc"
amdprophet: Inception, the server provider
fink: V I R T U A L I Z A T I O N
RandalSchwartz: arpception.com
fink: nice
amdprophet: I like
RandalSchwartz: "everybody gets 256MB of memory"
"and 4G of disk"
"and half an IP"
fink: hahha
amdprophet: fink: I think we've actually got 4 VPS right now, FreeBSD on 3 of them, Ubuntu on the other, we mainly run websites and the ubuntu box is running LDAP & Kerberos
RandalSchwartz: "we don't oversell our machines"
"(we're overselling our provider)" :)
fink: amdprophet: interesting, why ubuntu for kerberos?
amdprophet: kerberos on freebsd is a scary thing atm
the ports are older than RandalSchwartz
fink: daaaaaamn
RandalSchwartz: why not just run the linux binaries on freebsd?
amdprophet: could
but it was easy to set up with ubuntu
we had to set it up on a separate VM anyways due to lack of memory
http://www.aelatis.com is our main site
fink: interesting that kerberos hasn't been supplanted by something newer
amdprophet: cool site
amdprophet: thanks
I've been with a few server providers, ARP is the best for the money by a long shot
VPSLink blows
The Planet was great for a dedicated server but much too expensive for us
RandalSchwartz: yeah
costs kept down because most people can manage their own console :)
amdprophet: haha
***: fink has quit IRC (Quit: fink)
vcs: yeah ARP is great
the only thing they could improve are the ipv6 routes outside of their control :P
RandalSchwartz: and that would be magical
vcs: indeed
mmmm ive been building java all day on my OpenBSD vm
java is a pain on OpenBSD
haha
RandalSchwartz: s/ on OpenBSD//
vcs: true :)
Im setting up some software where i can stream all of my music from my OpenBSD vm
hook that up to my droid
all my music available from one place
toddf: vcs: did I miss the option where unlimited bandwidth was a checkbox?
vcs: :P
toddf: I have 200 gigs of transfer a month
and unlimited on verizon
toddf: I'm pushing 9G of transfer a month with only serving dns
vcs: i only have 25 gigs of music
toddf: on my vps
vcs: toddf: my VM is more for personal stuff
amdprophet: up_the_irons: you should release an API so we can control our VMs from our phones :p
vcs: than hard serving
toddf: amdprohet: haven't you heard? the API is called HTML
amdprophet: pssh
toddf: the control panel is cleanly written, if it doesn't work on your phone I'd be surprised
amdprophet: HTML is a lot bulkier than a native app + JSON
not to be picky... ;)
vcs: HTML runs on everything
toddf: are you sure you've looked at the control panel web page source vs a native app time + size?
vcs: i would rather have it run no matter what
than have it just here and there
amdprophet: from experience, native apps are a lot faster
assuming the API isn't sending much data
vcs: may be true
amdprophet: the phone has to render the page as well, takes time
vcs: but then you gota pick favorites
do you support all 200 phone platforms
:P
amdprophet: if garry wrote an API then he wouldn't have to worry about writing the mobile apps, that would be up to us
I'd make one for iOS / Android, for sure
release it as OSS too
***: fink has joined #arpnetworks
vcs: iOS development makes me cringe
amdprophet: why
? *
vcs: objective C is ugly, i takes way to much code to do simple things
and development is too restricted
one time i was demoing an app to a potential customer
and my code signing certificate just expired
and it would not load up :X
amdprophet: yea, the code signing is complete BS
I agree with you there
vcs: :|
im not saying i like android or blackberry or winmo dev more
im just saying that it needs serious improvement
amdprophet: but as far as takes too much to do simple things, I find it easier to work with than java on Android, and that's saying a lot because I'm a big android fan
vcs: Palm has got it right
amdprophet: WebOS?
vcs: yes, android dev is nice in my opinion
especially since there is no code signing mumbo jumbo
amdprophet: can't stand the ADTs though
very buggy
vcs: haha, yeah
would be nice to be able to develop in languages like python
would be really nice :)
amdprophet: you can
vcs: oh really?
amdprophet: yea they just released some python packaging system
for android
fink: amdprophet: really???
amdprophet: http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/
think that's it
vcs: sweet
thanks!
ahhh mobile pythong development would make me so happy
python
dammit! lol
amdprophet: :p
RandalSchwartz: python - that's another WTF.
right there with Java
vcs: nah, python is great
i use it everyday at work[18:17] <vcs> maks my life so much easier
NASA and google use it
RandalSchwartz: too bad it was designed by someone who doesn't grok objects
or closures, apparently
or scoping. :)
vcs: python is great for small projects
and data processesing
amdprophet: I've been looking at playing with python a bit, I'm mainly a Ruby, ObjC, and Java guy atm
RandalSchwartz: too bad python doesn't have anything like the CPAN
does it have native regex yet?
amdprophet: ahhh you're a perl guy :p
RandalSchwartz: or are those still strings with a flag?
vcs: i can write a native parser
faster than a regex
lol
regex is overrated
amdprophet: regex + nodejs = very fast
RandalSchwartz: perl6 grammars will put regex to shame
vcs: perl6 is vaporware
:P
RandalSchwartz: not at all
go download rakudo
useable already
just doesn't have the CPAN yet
vcs: i do like perl dont get me wrong
but i can code small things in python far faster
RandalSchwartz: Luckily, Perl's CPAN makes things that would be bigger than small in Python just small in Perl. :)
vcs: well there are plenty of extensions for python
hunting thm down is not very hard
RandalSchwartz: not as many as Perl though
and Perl's CPAN upload rate increases year over year
vcs: true, i have never not been able to find what i needd tho
RandalSchwartz: more people are using Perl today than in 1999

I need to buy me one of those now
RandalSchwartz: I have about 15 items of scottevest

trying to get my own business off the ground still
hah, that's a coincidence
an ad on a site that just happens to be for SeV
RandalSchwartz: yeah, they're pimping heavy now
especially with the delta controversy
amdprophet: ROFL
that's ridiculous
so pretty much, don't use Delta airlines
RandalSchwartz: no, that's not what it's about
in fact, scott just tweeted he's flying for a week somewhere, using delta :)
but also using the new "carryon coat" that made delta mad at him :)
amdprophet: they won't let passengers wear SeV because it reduces baggage costs
RandalSchwartz: that's balls :)
