upgrading neil's workhorse machien this morning.
what's the freebsd name for the serial console so I can enable a login prompt on it?
ttyu0 ?
ttyu0 looks like it should already have a login prompt
neil's heavy machine is now up to 8.1p1
yeay
now just need to get red up to speed
should do it now while the procedure is fresh in my mind
bye bye uptime:  8:19AM  up 90 days, 16:07, 0 users, load averages: 0.24, 0.21, 0.27

Hmm
well - things seem to be back to normal
Why do every american I've spoken to think the solution to everything is shooting someone?
"Someone breaks into my house? SHOOT HIM!"
"Couldn't you just, uhm, use the locks on your door?" - "WHY DO THAT WHEN I CAN SHOOT HIM!?"
american houselocks are boltlocks , very crappy :)
So, invest some money in a better lock?
dxtr: where are you from?
jpalmer: Sweden
hey, i live in the UK
one night a few years ago i heard sometime trying to come in my bedroom window
i live in yemen
dxtr: do swedes get tired of the blond haired, blue eyed stereotype?
let me assure you, that when this happens, your intention is simply to protect your family - you would happily damage the intruder enough to stop him
jpalmer: Nah, we think it's awesome
i did, by punching him in the head until he stopped moving
adrenaline is a great invention
dxtr: well, I assure you. "the americans" get tired of the "why do all americans" stereotypes.
the americans are provoking north korea :-)
jpalmer: I said "all americans I've spoken to" to clarify that I mean "all americans I've spoken to"
uh-oh
am just kidding ok?
this could all be about to go political
:)
I have not spoken to all americans
every time i speak to americans they come up with new slang, and mine is already outdated
lol :)
bob^^: But, sure, fisting someone in the face is one thing. But let's face it, most burglar are really quick to get out when they hear someone's home
And, also, let's face it; Locks are designed to stop people from coming in
they are
but they don't always work that well :)
Then get a better lock
jpalmer: possibly a smart move :)
I'm assuming he ignores me :P
Hm, how would I set up a 6in4 tunnel (or something) so I can route some ipv6 address' to some other place+
Think I found something finally
I never would have realized how many DNS and PTR requests ARP gets in a week.
:D
hi amdprophet
yo
i'm almost finished with my solar panel
something network related went down or was DDoS'd a moment ago, everyone I asked couldn't get to any servers on arp :(
was down for like 5 mins
that sucks
my vpn is up
works here
jpalmer: you have arp connect issues?
yea everything is working now
a bunch of disconnects / reconnects from people in this channel while that was happening
my network was down too
darn :(
couldn't ping arpnetworks.com too
I cried and curled up in a ball
lol
fink: yeah,   was dropping 98% of packets through apcketexchange
packetexchange*
I see what you did there.
exchange some packets. :)
anybody use ipython on OSX?
I'm sure someone must :)
never been much of a fan of python though
Always found perl to express the same construct more clearly
isn't "perl + clearly" an oxymoron? ;)
you know, I can't read russian.  I never studied it.  greek neither.
so when people say "I can't read perl", it only tells me that they haven't studied it.
and if people choose to be vocal about their own ignorance, oh well. :)
touche!

1lol
while I agree with you in theory..   I know several perl programmers who actually say it's hard to read if not commented..  when they come back to their own code after a period of time.
replace perl by any other language in that sentence
and tell me with all honesty *unique to perl*.
I bet not
the closest I've seen to self-documenting code is well-written smalltalk
for everything else, comments are needed.
it's obvious that my tongue-in-cheek rhetoric has touched a sensitive spot.  so I'll drop the (what I thought was an obvious) joke.
not as sensitive as it looks.  but it is something that deserves saying from time to time
I've learned not to poke fun at python indentation, for example
mostly because it's too easy a target
sorry i had to close my laptop
anybody use ipython on OSX?
ok - something is very weird here
local processes are not able to open sockets open locally
I think the network stack is getting badly messed up from time to time here
RandalSchwartz: do you happen to know of any sysadminny-type podcasts?
not particularly about that
