when will there be more slooots
sluts?
I'm undecided whether sluts in the datacenter is a good thing or not.
it's a bad things.   the servers don't need any chance of catching a virus.
Ah true.
Looking at making a database module for radicale. Probably to both allow the creation of a database and also to be able to specify settings to be able to hook into an existing database (such as Postfix Admin)
sitting aboard the ms zuiderdam, getting ready for cruise #56
RandalSchwartz: any celebrities on board?
me!
not any others that I know of
unless you're big into astronomy
lol.
why?  you expect every ship I travel on to have celebs? :)
admittedly, a lot do. :)
is there a pool with girls & bikinis?
a pool yes.
girls no.
bikinis, definitely no.
winter cruises tend to be an older crowd
you have to get around spring break or summer to get younger groups
even in Nassau tomorrow (near where we're going), it's only 65 high
you're on the east coast?
ft lauderdale
for another few hours
I was in Orlando yesterday morning
kennedy space center all day after that
oh cool
then drove here
... http://merlyn.posterous.com/shuttle-discovery-sitting-on-launchpad-39a
space center = so fucking cool.
yeah, it was neat
between that, and the LHC, I've seen some of the most complex things man has built.
the ... transport thing
I can't remember what it was called
but it looked like an enormous tank.
the crawlers
yeah
and how they can go up that 3 degree incline
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawler-transporter apparently
ah, yeah
by titling the *entire* thing
wow
6 million pounds, jesus.
tilting
I remembered they were big, but the scale apparently escaped me.
they tilt? I didn't know that either.
Yeah, the last bit up to 39A is a 3 degree ramp
so that they can get high enough for the exhaust tubes
hello
up_the_irons: are you around by any chance?
I believe my VPS is being DDoS'd, or something bad happened with ARP networks, either way I'd like to investigate
zxvff: mine is down too
Hey, yeah.
Mine is barely up.
my other VPS are up
One of mine is down, the other is up.
but our main one is almost completely down
Down being I can't get to the console via the customer console and ping is quite high and lossy.
(kvr02 seems fine, kvr10 having trouble.)
i got 4 packets to respond to ping on 2 different ipv4s :)
Did I miss some status update of what the theories are, what's being done about this, etc?
good to know though amdprophet
up_the_irons said he was going to can a customer if this happened again
Is it me?
apparently a customer has been getting DDoS'd, causing us to go down
i'm on kvr10
can't get on
yea our main box is on kvr10
athens.aelatis.com is on kvr05, aelatis.com is on kvr10, picgarage.net is on kvr11
somebody hosting wikileaks stuff on their box? :-)
Ha.
zxvff: you can check my site in the future if you're wondering if i'm having issues too
what's the URL amdprophet ?
"athens.aelatis.com is on kvr05, aelatis.com is on kvr10, picgarage.net is on kvr11"
ziyourenxiang: I'm hosting a wikileaks mirror... but not at ARP :p
hosting it out of my house, I don't want to cause garry any trouble
i'm hosting a list of wikileaks mirrors that got onto the official wiki page, which is getting considerable amount of traffic (and ad revenue) but in a few days i'm going to redirect it to nimp
to last measure all of the wikileaks people
because fuck wikileaks
lol...
just gotta build up some backlinks and more credibility on my link and soon people will view it and get 301'd to nimp
:( i want my vps back
:(
Heh, 301'd to NIMP.
back up
whooooo
some twat on EFNet is packeting someone
thats all i know
vcs: is that why you emoquit from efnet?
zxvff: haddem is packeting
who?
not me
Why is he packeting, and who is he targeting?
Eh, I bet up_the_irons has it all figured out by now anyway.
yeah
its probobly over
i hope at least
it's someone being DDoS'd, don't think the customer is DoS'ing
yeah
customer getting ddosd
packeting is so lame
http://p.pgu.me/Uo9OLFkT
I'm assuming it was the same person
time to shit can a customer
asshole pays $10 per month, and causes network disruption for all VPS' on kvr10
ty up_the_irons
thanks for taking care of the problem
I fucking hate the colleratal damage of that
some people is idiot heh
up_the_irons: i gave a friend a shell on my box today, told him to try it out bc he should buy an arp networks VPS
citing the great uptime as a selling point
heh
he's not interested anymore :(
:(
for what it's worth, more reason to kick this guy out
lol
yep
how many megabits was the ddos?
zxvff: about 300
ouch
that will do it
hey! i never get throughput like that.  do i have to dos to get that? :P
lol
at least 200 of those megabits are dropped
yep
also innefeciencies in VM networking
yeah
will drop some more mbits
finally
the vm is shared
so... you do the math :P
yes, yes, was just a joke :)
hahah
hehe, i remember growing up watching it
90's had some good tv
maybe its nostalgia, maybe i was young
but the stuff nowdays just does not compare :X
vcs: yeah i agree, the shit that is on now sucks.  Although I did really enjoy 24 when it was on.  Same story every season, I know, but heck I was entertained
yeah haha
never paid much attention to the whole 24/X Files/etc genre
i just miss all the good science fiction with internesting, odd plots
yeah
more of a Drama/Comedy man myself
G: what do you like?
gary, i might be needing to get more storage pretty soon, the rate is .50 a gig right
vcs: whatever is on the site :)
haha
ill probobly need 40 more gigs hehe
up_the_irons: it's actually a bit of a mix & match, very little reality type stuff (Amazing Race is about all I can stand), then stuff like NCIS/Boston Legal/Community/etc
installed subsonic and have been uploading my music library there so i can stream it on my phone / anywhere
up_the_irons: then some NZ/Australian stuff
and some really old stuff
vcs: oh nice
G: ah
the silly thing is though, can stand NCIS/etc, but can't stand CSI/etc
wow
i thought CSI was the only good show
sundial
G: I was into ER for ages.  Even though the last like 6 seasons were mostly boring, they musta got some good writers for *some* of the episodes b/c some were FAR better than the rest
msgs
the spinoffs imo had awful acting
jerm: huh?
up_the_irons: ahhh I've got all of ER on DVD now
G: haha nice
except Season 15, waiting for the price to drop
G: the first few seasons were really good, that's what hooked me
that said, I recently borrowed them on the netflix-type stuff
up_the_irons: yeah, there was a good bit on the Season 14 DVD set, about the 200 episode milestone, how they talk about the first few seasons and how slow they are
didn't realise it until they mentioned it, kinda agree, later seasons are a bit too fast imo
G: yeah
that said, the cliffhangers are much better in the last few seasons
G: the stories of Kovach and Carter in Africa are great, and also when the ER gets held up by gunman
the gunman,... oh I remember that one
yeah, the Africa side store was great
yeah
the smallpox story was good too
G: the last 5 episodes in the final season were written and directed by what seemed to be more of the original writers / crew, because they totally "felt" like the old school episodes, and so were very good
oh yeah, the smallpox one was awesome
up_the_irons: yeah, the winddown was pretty well done, better than a lot of TV series
yup, i'm glad they ended it that way
now srsly, why can't I stream ER on Netflix.  I can get all of 24, but not ER, pffff
haha
up_the_irons: haha
eventually all of TV will be on hulu and netflix
but the media industry loves to drag its feet
yep
i mean holywood in general
i wont waste 80$ on TV thats 25% commercials
and i cant choose what i want when i want
this is 2010, time to get with the program :\
I have a PS3 with the Netflix app, so it is really easy for me to stream that stuff, so I'd prefer it on Netflix if possible.  Is there a Hulu app for the PS3? :)
i know plenty of people on the verge of canceling their tv service
up_the_irons: isn't that hulu plus?
ahhh yeah
I have hulu plus, I love it :)
G: not very familiar with hulu
netflix is great, but i found sometimes i was too lazy to order new stuff as i ran out
and their streaming catalog is not that good
i really like instant streaming
up_the_irons: I just use Hulu to watch a couple of American TV series
hence why OpenVPN rocks :)
:P
use it for our companies office, works great
vcs: yeah their streaming catalog isn't too good, but for some things it works
yeah
G: nice :)
actually ive been thinking about getting it again
i have a tendancy to buy dvd's / seasons instead
G: do you stream it through your vps? (i have no problem with that, just wondering)
i dropped 200$ on battlestar galactica blue rays
the other day
hehe
i run OpenVPN on my vps
i use it when im on open / WEP / foreign wireless networks
keep my companies stuff safe ;)
up_the_irons: when NZ lags behind a year+ it's a sign for me that I should consider hulu :P
up_the_irons: through my other VPS atm, waiting to switch it over
ah
redirect-gateway ftw
up_the_irons: i'm just trying to work out if geographically seperated VPS' is an important thing for me or not to tell the truth
up_the_irons: i think it got hit again?
i just went down as well
it's better now, just a hiccup?
hulu plus looks pretty cool.  only 7.99  / mo, i'm sold
wtf was that
up_the_irons yeah, some of it in HD
traceroutes stopped at level 3 in LA
also, you get complete seasons of alot of shows
the X files is hulu plus only
the internet is gonna die today :(
not in HD, but all 10 seasons :)
nice
what OTA (i.e. not cable) TV providers do you guys get over there?
I have DirecTV
yeah up_the_irons, i think there was a big routing hiccup that time
on EFNet, chanfix just joined a few of my chans
so there were netsplits
rip internets
G: do you mean TV stations over UHF/VHF ?
vcs: yeah, no packets were getting past Level 3, which I found odd, it's like Level 3 broke for a minute
lol
level3's routes are rock solid some places
but at others not so much
mattx86: and/or Satellite
but as in free
I guess it depends a bit on where in America you are right?
G: yeah.  generally, we do get the same channels over satellite, but its stuff like CBS, NBC, The CW, Fox and perhaps a few others
yeah, perhaps
actually, IINM, the satellite receivers can pick up UHF/VHF or whatever it's called now with the HD signal
hmmm in NZ the Digital free to air is over Satellite (SD), or HD Free to Air via UHF
ah
