*** | ideas1 has joined #arpnetworks | [01:59] | |
dxtr | Especially London | [01:59] | |
bob^^ | really? | [02:00] | |
ideas1 | hey everyone | [02:00] | |
bob^^ | man :( | [02:00] | |
dxtr | Yeah | [02:00] | |
bob^^ | you've been looking at the wrong parts | [02:00] | |
dxtr | Mainly the personal integrity
I don't want cameras at me wherever I go ./ | [02:00] | |
coobra | well | [02:01] | |
dxtr | cameras looking at me* | [02:01] | |
ideas1 | does anyone know if I can run centos with arpsnetwork? | [02:01] | |
dxtr | ideas1: Should be possibe
possible* Gah. Morning typos | [02:01] | |
coobra | i think its debian/ubntu ? | [02:01] | |
bob^^ | dxtr: don't believe everything you read :) | [02:02] | |
dxtr | ideas1: Did you try googling? | [02:02] | |
coobra | not centos but i think it will be no probs | [02:02] | |
bob^^ | london might be like that, but the rest of the country isn't | [02:02] | |
ideas1 | yeah i googled it but nothing with this particular vps provider | [02:02] | |
dxtr | bob^^: The rest of the country is rain and forests to me | [02:02] | |
ideas1 | i cant find reviews or anything | [02:02] | |
dxtr | ideas1: try googling: centos km
err centos kvm | [02:04] | |
bob^^ | dxtr: go look at Edinburgh
:) | [02:04] | |
ideas1 | derp derp
sorry | [02:04] | |
bob^^ | but yes, we have lots of rain - not much forest, just lots of countryside and nice little towns and villages :D | [02:04] | |
dxtr | bob^^: Unfortunately I prefer civilization :)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a0/Edinburgh_from_Scott_Monument.jpg <- It looks green... And gray | [02:05] | |
ideas1 | wow that beautiful
thats* | [02:06] | |
dxtr | Doesn't look very modern | [02:07] | |
bob^^ | it's one of the most beautiful cities in the world :)
it's not modern dude, that's the point! | [02:07] | |
dxtr | I don't see it, ut sure
but* | [02:07] | |
bob^^ | it's all at least 200 years old i guess | [02:07] | |
dxtr | Why don't they blow it up and start over? 200 years is quite old
I like it modern. Think central Tokyo or Seoul | [02:07] | |
ideas1 | and lose all the architectural beauty
i live in california and all those buildings look like boxes | [02:09] | |
bob^^ | exactly
i like modern too - but not all the time | [02:09] | |
dxtr | I don't see the "architectural beauty" in old crap anyway. I throw away things when they beome too old
become | [02:09] | |
ideas1 | lol | [02:10] | |
bob^^ | :( | [02:10] | |
dxtr | It's gray and dull | [02:10] | |
ideas1 | lol | [02:10] | |
bob^^ | you should open your mind :) | [02:10] | |
ideas1 | you should, i wish more things had history and told a story
everything looks like boxes here :( | [02:11] | |
dxtr | I did. That's when I realized I prefer functionality before age | [02:11] | |
*** | schmir has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) | [02:12] | |
bob^^ | i drink in a bar (well, pub) that's over 500 years old
american tourists come in | [02:12] | |
ideas1 | can you get corona over there? | [02:12] | |
bob^^ | it's fun to point out the bar is older than the US
:) yup i like corona :) | [02:12] | |
ideas1 | mexican beers are good, any english beers you recommend? | [02:12] | |
dxtr | It's a hell to maintain old buildings (Been there, done that), they look boring and usually you don't get the functionality you get with modern building
buildings | [02:12] | |
bob^^ | yeah ideas1 - have you had proper beer or just lager (like corona) ?
(this sort of beer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cask_ale ) | [02:13] | |
dxtr | And if you dare to modernize an old building you'll get the rage from old people | [02:13] | |
ideas1 | both we have a ton of local breweries aka micro breweries | [02:14] | |
bob^^ | mmm, micro breweries :D
my favourite british beer is Purity UBU (http://www.puritybrewing.com/) - they are my local brewery | [02:14] | |
ideas1 | i even watch soccer lol | [02:14] | |
bob^^ | american beer - i love sierra nevada pale ale :)
actually, you guys have a lot of very nice good beer | [02:15] | |
ideas1 | sierra nevada isnt bad
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcastle_Brown_Ale | [02:15] | |
*** | schmir has joined #arpnetworks | [02:16] | |
bob^^ | that's known here as 'newcky brown'
it *used* to be nice - but now it is brewed by another company, and is not very good :( | [02:16] | |
ideas1 | pronounced "noo-key"? | [02:17] | |
bob^^ | yup :) | [02:17] | |
ideas1 | nice lol im calling it that from now on here | [02:17] | |
bob^^ | :D | [02:17] | |
ideas1 | ill act like i knew that all along lol | [02:18] | |
bob^^ | hahaha - it might even say it on the back of the bottle
at one point they changed the label here so it said that :) | [02:18] | |
ideas1 | ohhh you didnt know it was called newky brown, rookie!?! | [02:18] | |
bob^^ | because no one calls it by the full name hehe
:D | [02:18] | |
dxtr | Hmm
My sleeping girlfriend have rotated 90 degrees in the bed That's quite impressive | [02:18] | |
bob^^ | sleeping?! it's 10:25! ;) | [02:19] | |
ideas1 | do you guys get these http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&tbs=isch:1&&sa=X&ei=fSQwTejROYS8sAPLmbSsBQ&ved=0CDMQvwUoAQ&q=corona+familiar&spell=1&biw=1680&bih=914 | [02:19] | |
bob^^ | ooo, no, we don't | [02:20] | |
dxtr | bob^^: Yeah, she's been sleeping for three hours :p | [02:20] | |
ideas1 | 940ml of beer in one bottle | [02:20] | |
dxtr | Okay, more like four | [02:20] | |
bob^^ | we just get these: http://www.crackedkettle.com/store/images/corona.jpg
:D | [02:20] | |
ideas1 | lol those are tiny | [02:20] | |
bob^^ | you do get some beers here in 1l bottles, but not too many
most of our beer comes as a pint - 568ml or those sort of bottle, about 330ml :/ | [02:20] | |
ideas1 | cheap beers come in huge sizes here, but good bears caps at about 940 | [02:21] | |
bob^^ | bottles of good beer here are 500ml
which is really annoying | [02:21] | |
ideas1 | lol too big? | [02:22] | |
bob^^ | as you pour it into a pint (568ml) glass and it doesn't fill it... sigh | [02:22] | |
ideas1 | haha
sooo how was the moral about the english soccer team? | [02:22] | |
bob^^ | getting really expensive to drink here as well | [02:22] | |
ideas1 | did you guys fire your technical director? | [02:22] | |
dxtr | bob^^: That's why you've got 50cl glass | [02:22] | |
bob^^ | dxtr: PINT! | [02:22] | |
dxtr | Half a litre? | [02:23] | |
bob^^ | ideas1: i'm afraid i have no idea - i don't follow soccer/football at all :(
i'm a motorsport and rugby guy :) | [02:23] | |
ideas1 | cars or bikes? | [02:23] | |
bob^^ | pint = 568ml.. and we are very protective over our pint :)
cars ideas1 :D single seaters mostly - f1, gp2 etc | [02:23] | |
ideas1 | nice | [02:23] | |
dxtr | Half a litre = 50cl.. And we are very protective over our standardized metric system | [02:23] | |
bob^^ | a pint: http://www.darlocamra.org.uk/PintOnBar.jpg
stupid europeans ;) | [02:23] | |
ideas1 | lol
are you guys freebsd users? | [02:24] | |
dxtr | Yep | [02:24] | |
bob^^ | here in the UK we are quite 'traditional' over weights and measures
yeah it's still entirely normal here for everything to be inches, feet, yards and miles and to buy fruit/vegetables by the ounce or pound and beer by the pint | [02:24] | |
dxtr | bob^^: I hate when I watch TV shows from the UK and they weigh stuff in "stone". I'm like "Can't two stones weigh differently?" | [02:25] | |
bob^^ | even though none of those are allowed in europe :D
haha :D stone = 14 pounds | [02:25] | |
dxtr | And wtf is a pound? Isn't that a currency? | [02:25] | |
bob^^ | pound = 454g
easy :D | [02:25] | |
dxtr | Ridiculous | [02:25] | |
ideas1 | yeah that stone thing caught me off guard when i was watching some cage fights... 13 stones i was like stones of what
i was expecting kilos | [02:25] | |
bob^^ | i'm sure ideas1 will agree that the pound is a very good measure for weight :) | [02:26] | |
ideas1 | no its stupid | [02:26] | |
bob^^ | google calculator to the rescue :D | [02:26] | |
ideas1 | kilos | [02:26] | |
dxtr | What's wrong with kilos? | [02:26] | |
bob^^ | for science, sure | [02:26] | |
ideas1 | i like kilos | [02:26] | |
bob^^ | just doesn't fit for us here | [02:26] | |
dxtr | Why not? | [02:26] | |
bob^^ | tradition i guess | [02:26] | |
ideas1 | its easy vs 16oz in 1 pound etc | [02:26] | |
dxtr | Wtf is oz?
Isn't that a TV show? | [02:26] | |
ideas1 | see waht i mean | [02:26] | |
bob^^ | i would have nfi how heavy the average person is in kg, but i know in stone
oz = ounce :D | [02:26] | |
dxtr | My girlfriend got OZ tattoed on her chest
tattooed* | [02:27] | |
ideas1 | 1 ounces = 28.3495231 grams | [02:27] | |
bob^^ | i guess one thing about the UK is that we... like to be different :) | [02:27] | |
ideas1 | lol | [02:27] | |
dxtr | bob^^: Also who cares how heavy the average person is? :P | [02:27] | |
bob^^ | :D | [02:27] | |
dxtr | I'm 55kg o | [02:27] | |
bob^^ | bob^^ shrugs
14 stone :D | [02:27] | |
dxtr | It could be more like 20 stone though
Depending on how much the stones weigh | [02:28] | |
bob^^ | lol | [02:28] | |
ideas1 | im 13.2142857 stone
i had to convert it in google lol | [02:28] | |
dxtr | Are we talking gravel or mountains? | [02:28] | |
bob^^ | :D | [02:28] | |
ideas1 | :) | [02:28] | |
dxtr | ideas1: YOu're around my weight then, if we use the same stones
[02:29] <dxtr> o | [02:29] | |
ideas1 | 185lbs | [02:29] | |
dxtr | lbs? | [02:29] | |
ideas1 | 83kg | [02:29] | |
dxtr | Oh nevermind then
bob^^ confused me :P I thought he weighed my 55kg in stones | [02:30] | |
bob^^ | :( | [02:30] | |
dxtr | Another thing that bothers me is measuring stuff in feet
I mean, feet are of different sizes | [02:31] | |
ideas1 | yeah feet is a nightmare....12inchs in a foot
lol | [02:31] | |
dxtr | Also inch bothers me | [02:31] | |
ideas1 | 3 feet in a yeard
yard etc etc etc nightmare | [02:31] | |
bob^^ | imperial measurements are easy
:D | [02:31] | |
dxtr | They're retarded | [02:31] | |
ideas1 | yes | [02:31] | |
dxtr | When people give me those measurement I automatically say "yes" | [02:32] | |
ideas1 | why do freebsd guys get all mad at the linux guys? | [02:32] | |
bob^^ | we do? :( | [02:32] | |
dxtr | Because the Linux guys thinks they know stuff while the FreeBSD guys actually knows stuff :p | [02:32] | |
bob^^ | that's probably true | [02:32] | |
ideas1 | HAHAHAHA
im feelings are hurt | [02:32] | |
bob^^ | you get a lot of people these days who think they're UNIX GODS because they've installed ubuntu | [02:33] | |
ideas1 | i hate ubuntu | [02:33] | |
dxtr | I actually like Ubuntu | [02:33] | |
bob^^ | ubuntu is pretty good i think | [02:33] | |
dxtr | Didn't like it a couple of versions ago. Now it's pretty good | [02:33] | |
bob^^ | for desktops, ideal
for servers, use freebsd :) | [02:33] | |
dxtr | I'm gonna try PC-BSD someday
Never tried it Parallels to the rescue! | [02:34] | |
ideas1 | i use linux all day at work, but i do want to try freebsd for a webhosting | [02:34] | |
dxtr | freebsd jails <3 | [02:34] | |
ideas1 | is jails like suphp? | [02:34] | |
dxtr | uhm, no
| [02:35] | |
bob^^ | jails are brilliant | [02:35] | |
ideas1 | :O what the FUCK!!!!
THAT IS GENIUS | [02:35] | |
bob^^ | freebsd has had that for at least 10 years
it's why us freebsd guys are so smug :) | [02:36] | |
dxtr | 10 years <3 | [02:36] | |
ideas1 | so i could create a sandbox for each user? | [02:36] | |
dxtr | Yeah | [02:36] | |
bob^^ | basically, yup
or each service you run or whatever you want, really :D | [02:37] | |
dxtr | I think I should go buy some cigarettes | [02:38] | |
ideas1 | son of a bitch | [02:38] | |
dxtr | Huh? :( | [02:38] | |
ideas1 | expression not calling anyone names
thats a pretty impressive feature | [02:39] | |
dxtr | Yes it is
I have fapped numerous times to that feature In fact my ex dumped me because I had an affair with jails | [02:40] | |
ideas1 | haha
thats love an passion right there | [02:40] | |
dxtr | Yeah
But I found a new girlfriend who likes me for who I am and says it's okay that I sometimes get passionate with jails | [02:41] | |
ideas1 | lol i dont blame you | [02:42] | |
dxtr | Also she said that it's okay, and in fact pushes me, to be passionate with my male friends. That is kind of awkward when I think about it | [02:42] | |
ideas1 | lol
its only gay if you make eye contact | [02:42] | |
dxtr | That's what she says
But she's bi so she'll never understand | [02:43] | |
bob^^ | it's only gay if you push back | [02:43] | |
ideas1 | whats the best freebsd version to start with, i want to do some test | [02:43] | |
dxtr | ideas1: The latest? | [02:43] | |
bob^^ | 8 | [02:43] | |
up_the_irons | up_the_irons thinks he should start making CentOS base templates | [02:44] | |
bob^^ | well, it's 8.1-RELEASE atm | [02:44] | |
ideas1 | i have my rhce test coming up maybe this will help lol | [02:44] | |
bob^^ | grab that, then update it using freebsd-update | [02:44] | |
up_the_irons | ideas1: you can run cent, but you have to do the install yourself: http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/vps/re-install-or-change-os | [02:45] | |
ideas1 | sounds good, i do want to try bsd but ill be honest ill be a bit scared lol | [02:45] | |
dxtr | ports <3 | [02:46] | |
ideas1 | i ventured into solaris one time and came back running
so ssh and iptables that all the same stuff? init scripts same basic idea? | [02:46] | |
dxtr | no iptables | [02:47] | |
ideas1 | :S whats the freebsd firewall | [02:48] | |
dxtr | ipfw or pf | [02:48] | |
ideas1 | googling | [02:48] | |
dxtr | If you come from openbsd pf is sweet. Otherwise I've gotten the feeling ipfw is recommended. But that's just a feeling and not an expert opinion :P | [02:48] | |
ideas1 | IPFW seems easy
but your right lots of pf vs ipfw discussion kinda reminds me of ufw in ubuntu | [02:49] | |
dxtr | Well, I never touch iptables
It's crap that shouldn't have been created in the first place You know a firewall is crap when you need special tools to manage it | [02:50] | |
bob^^ | ipfw is good - but pf is what you should use now
if you get a box up ideas1 , do 'man hier' when you first log in it explains the system hierarchy very well - where you can find scripts, where things are installed etc http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hier&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8.1-RELEASE&format=html | [02:53] | |
ideas1 | whats the default shell | [02:54] | |
bob^^ | sh | [02:54] | |
ideas1 | bash? | [02:55] | |
bob^^ | no
sh | [02:55] | |
ideas1 | like the OG shell | [02:55] | |
bob^^ | though during install you can adjust that - csh comes with it | [02:55] | |
dxtr | Rookies... Aren't they cute? :D | [02:55] | |
bob^^ | (it's csh but a bit more like tcsh really)
you can install bash if you want to | [02:55] | |
dxtr | I prefer zsh | [02:55] | |
ideas1 | well i have a bunch of backup shell scripts | [02:55] | |
bob^^ | the advice is to leave sh (or csh) as the root shell though | [02:55] | |
ideas1 | that id hate to lose lol | [02:56] | |
bob^^ | as any installed shell won't be mountable if something goes wrong with the filesystem
i use csh but i can still run bash scripts :) | [02:56] | |
ideas1 | cron and all that also works? | [02:56] | |
bob^^ | yes :) | [02:57] | |
dxtr | cron isn't a part of bash though | [02:57] | |
ideas1 | yeah i know | [02:57] | |
dxtr | bob^^: Isn't csh pretty... lightweight?
I remember I smash my keyboard everytime I'm forced to use it | [02:57] | |
bob^^ | does everything i want with a bit of tweaking in .cshrc
i find bash frustrating | [02:57] | |
dxtr | How do you enable tab completion and stuff in it? | [02:58] | |
bob^^ | uh, it just does it | [02:58] | |
dxtr | It does? | [02:58] | |
bob^^ | yup | [02:58] | |
dxtr | So what is it that I always smash my keyboard for?
:P | [02:58] | |
bob^^ | not a clue | [02:58] | |
ideas1 | http://www.amazon.com/Absolute-FreeBSD-Complete-Guide-2nd/dp/1593271514/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295003013&sr=8-1
http://www.amazon.com/Building-Server-FreeBSD-Bryan-Hong/dp/159327145X/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1295003066&sr=8-3 | [02:58] | |
bob^^ | it does tab complete, command repetition, history etc
everything you need really | [02:58] | |
dxtr | I might try it out then
:D | [02:59] | |
bob^^ | if it's in linux, it's probably also in freebsd - freebsd is a lot more closely related to a 'proper' unix | [02:59] | |
dxtr | Will have to port my .zshrc though | [02:59] | |
bob^^ | the differences you find are likely to be that linux is a SysV style system (semaphores, runlevels etc) and BSD doesn't have that
but then these days linux tends to hide that stuff anyways so *shrug* oh, ideas1... another feature you might like if you want to run software that *only* works on linux then freebsd can emulate linux and run linux binaries (sometimes faster than they actually run on a proper linux box, too) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD#Linux_compatibility | [03:00] | |
ideas1 | nice
i only really use linux for server for example i have a few www.kerio.com servers | [03:01] | |
bob^^ | however 99% of stuff you probably run on linux can be built on freebsd (or exists as a package) that won't need emulation :) | [03:01] | |
ideas1 | kerio connect runing on RHEL 5 (with subscription servers) | [03:01] | |
bob^^ | this is worth a read too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD_Ports
ports are one of the biggest 'cool features' of freebsd | [03:02] | |
dxtr | bob^^: So what's the difference between cshrc and tcshrc?
Just curious :) | [03:02] | |
bob^^ | one's for csh and the other for tcsh? :)
iirc tcsh also reads .cshrc when you log in i tend to just use the standard csh that comes with freebsd, and my own .cshrc | [03:03] | |
dxtr | Aw man
Ofcourse I mean csh an tcsh Silly me :p | [03:03] | |
ideas1 | the difference between free and open? is the paranoid level? | [03:04] | |
bob^^ | freebsd's licence is very different to that of a linux distro | [03:04] | |
dxtr | ideas1: Free = Do whatever you want with it, open = view the source
Kind of | [03:04] | |
bob^^ | with a BSD licence you can take the code, adjust it, even sell it commercially as part of another product without returning anything to the project
with GPL, you can't commercially sell it without providing source, etc, and changes have to be commited back to the original project etc etc this is why parts of FreeBSD can be found inside Windows and Mac *Mac OSX not sure how true it is these days, but back in Win2000 the IP stack was lifted straight from FreeBSD then modified slightly (nmap used to detect Windows 2000 as FreeBSD) | [03:04] | |
dxtr | Haha :D | [03:06] | |
coobra | :D | [03:06] | |
dxtr | I think they created they have their own IP stack nowadays
Err I think they have their own* | [03:06] | |
bob^^ | i think it's nslookup and ftp in windows (even current windows) that are lifted from freebsd too | [03:06] | |
dxtr | I blame my bad writing on lack of sleep | [03:07] | |
bob^^ | :) | [03:07] | |
ideas1 | ports just gets teh source? then you compile and install? | [03:09] | |
dxtr | No it gets teh source and compiles and installs | [03:09] | |
bob^^ | cd /usr/ports/www/apache && make install
that will download the source, compile and install | [03:09] | |
dxtr | YOu can do a bunch of cool stuff with ports | [03:09] | |
bob^^ | or if you're feeling lazy and don't need to tweak any build knobs, you can just do pkg_add -r <port name> | [03:10] | |
ideas1 | seems very similar to gentoos portage | [03:10] | |
dxtr | Yeah, that's because gentoos portage is kind of a rip-off | [03:10] | |
bob^^ | gentoo stole the idea from freebsd, so yup :) | [03:10] | |
ideas1 | ahh
i may have to get two vps one to play with freebsd and one for centos | [03:10] | |
bob^^ | :D
a convert! :D | [03:11] | |
ideas1 | ill give it a shot
lol | [03:11] | |
bob^^ | you'll like it
and we're here to help :) | [03:12] | |
ideas1 | i would be scared to go live with it since i dont feel i know enough
ok let me sign up | [03:12] | |
bob^^ | there's #freebsd over on QuakeNet if you need anything too | [03:12] | |
ideas1 | well as long as they dont chew my head off lol | [03:12] | |
bob^^ | freebsd community tends to be pretty friendly
nah, you'll be fine - i'm an op over there :) | [03:13] | |
ideas1 | :)
why is there a limit of only 1vps per customer? | [03:13] | |
bob^^ | is there? :( | [03:14] | |
dxtr | ideas1: No it isn't
? | [03:14] | |
ideas1 | For new orders only, limit 1 per customer
Special also applies for any Linux distro we offer | [03:14] | |
bob^^ | ah :(
must be running low on slots :( | [03:15] | |
ideas1 | well that throws a monkey wrench in my plan | [03:15] | |
bob^^ | well | [03:15] | |
ideas1 | linode isnt freebsd friendly lol | [03:15] | |
bob^^ | you could head over to amazon ec2 and register for their free thing
freebsd 9 has just become available on amazon ec2, but it's not guaranteed for production use yet and it won't be quite as easy to set up | [03:16] | |
dxtr | try rootbsd | [03:17] | |
bob^^ | you could always ask up_the_irons - he might make an exception? | [03:17] | |
dxtr | ideas1: But ask up_the_irons. Perhaps it's just one *NEW* order per customer+<
? https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/List_of_fictional_raccoons | [03:17] | |
up_the_irons | ideas1: no, you can order 10, i don't care ;) | [03:18] | |
ideas1 | Please credit the sale to <dxtr> and <bob^^>.
just placed the order | [03:18] | |
up_the_irons | yep, my phone just buzzed
dxtr: bob^^ : thank you guys :) | [03:18] | |
bob^^ | :) | [03:19] | |
dxtr | up_the_irons o | [03:19] | |
ideas1 | so i can order a freebsd one and a centos one right? | [03:19] | |
bob^^ | yup | [03:19] | |
dxtr | up_the_irons: From now on you'll be my sexual advisor | [03:19] | |
bob^^ | ! | [03:19] | |
dxtr | You owe it to me | [03:19] | |
up_the_irons | ideas1: yup | [03:20] | |
ideas1 | damn dxtr is demanding | [03:20] | |
up_the_irons | srsly | [03:20] | |
dxtr | Imagine that resume
"Code slave, sysadmin and sexual advisor" | [03:21] | |
bob^^ | lol | [03:21] | |
dxtr | THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES! | [03:21] | |
bob^^ | anyway, time for me to go grab some lunch, back later :) | [03:22] | |
dxtr | Then I'll go buy my delicious cigarettes | [03:22] | |
ideas1 | lol thanks for all the rookie help guys | [03:22] | |
dxtr | ideas1: Hey, I'll be back in 15 minutes or so :P | [03:23] | |
ideas1 | soudns good | [03:24] | |
good night guys 330am here | [03:34] | ||

.......... (idle for 45mn) | |||
merky | do other people see just one cpu, or is it just me? | [04:19] | |
................ (idle for 1h15mn) | |||
RandalSchwartz | it's just one virtual cpu, yes | [05:34] | |
merky | oh it sounded like it was more than one on website
Multiple CPUs (SMP) supported | [05:45] | |
RandalSchwartz | for the VPS?
not in the existing plans | [05:46] | |
merky | is that some kvm issue? | [05:46] | |
RandalSchwartz | no, just a sales issue :) | [05:46] | |
merky | like it can't fair queue
oh hmm | [05:46] | |
RandalSchwartz | I imagine you could negotiate a different deal | [05:46] | |
merky | so they're all liek that?
i don't really know how much it bothers me | [05:47] | |
RandalSchwartz | where do you see "multiple cpus (smp) supported" on http://arpnetworks.com/vps ?
oh. | [05:47] | |
merky | like i don't think i'm liekly to need that much cpu or anything | [05:47] | |
RandalSchwartz | right... in the rihgt column | [05:47] | |
merky | yaeh | [05:47] | |
RandalSchwartz | yeah, you could probably get it for more money
but all the plans on the left are single cpu | [05:47] | |
merky | it says all vps's include!
*sigh* at least it seems ok performance | [05:48] | |
RandalSchwartz | well, they don't get an A for english, then. :)
keep in mind, your IO is all virtual | [05:48] | |
merky | it seems about same speed as poweredge 1750 | [05:49] | |
RandalSchwartz | so while on a dedicated box, you'd want a second cpu to handle interrupt stuff | [05:49] | |
merky | which are old school p4 liek xeons | [05:49] | |
RandalSchwartz | you don't need that here, since that happens "off" your box | [05:49] | |
merky | interrupt stuff? | [05:49] | |
RandalSchwartz | IO | [05:49] | |
merky | oh i haven't even really checked disk performance | [05:49] | |
RandalSchwartz | dma, interrupt handling, etc | [05:49] | |
merky | it seems ok | [05:49] | |
RandalSchwartz | some here have said "how do they get the virtual disk so *fast*"
I haven't compared. seems fast 'nuff. :) | [05:50] | |
merky | oh real? | [05:50] | |
RandalSchwartz | yeah | [05:50] | |
merky | i've got a few vps's, and a few hardware things at work
and doign opensolaris/xen at work too and different hardware can vary with disk speeds a lot thing i've found is most noticable is when there's battery backed write cache thing is with that though is as soon as you write too much it's still slow and mostly you notice it extracting tar balls etc it just finishes quicker but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to give really good disk performance. just noticably good. i'm assuing it's just fast disks in raid 10 without too many users? and with spare ram for disk caching what's a way to check disk speed anyway? without doing something long like bonnie 314572800 bytes transferred in 13.229 secs (23778312 bytes/sec) that's dd if=/dev/zero of=testzero bs=1024k count=300 23 megs/sec 314572800 bytes transferred in 5.154 secs (61025787 bytes/sec) that's a poweredge 1850 with raid 1 on old scsi disks so it's not amazing? but as long as it doesn't get to 1/100th that speed all is good :) 314572800 bytes transferred in 4.131 secs (76142619 bytes/sec) and that's one with battery backed write cache | [05:50] | |
RandalSchwartz | sorry, getting ready for work here
wandered away :) still need to be concentrating on that | [06:03] | |
merky | heh | [06:03] | |
RandalSchwartz | but I'll be around all day, off and on | [06:03] | |
merky | it's like 3 am here :)
haha that's what i'm like | [06:03] | |
RandalSchwartz | I've had 4 VPS here (various sizes) for a year | [06:04] | |
merky | oh wow | [06:04] | |
RandalSchwartz | still very happy | [06:04] | |
merky | well i'm glad to finally be able to run openbsd :)0
:) | [06:04] | |
*** | BeBoo_ has joined #arpnetworks | [06:07] | |
merky | random, i ran it again and it was faster. | [06:07] | |
........ (idle for 35mn) | |||
jpalmer | jlgaddis: yes, www.ipv6.facebook.com is, but that isn't their main URL. www.facebook.com (and facebook.com) is. thats what June 8th (world IPv6 day) is about.
jlgaddis: facebook, google, yahoo, and a few other big players will add AAAA records to their MAIN URL's for a minimum of 24 hours, as a test. | [06:42] | |
merky | hocool
i can't resolve that what | [06:48] | |
RandalSchwartz | according to something I saw recently on he.net, you can actually get a faster net experience (a bit) by using ipv6
presuming you're not tunneled to start with | [06:52] | |
merky | yeah
well i can get better speeds with their tunnel actually that reminds me i was going to test taht betwen two end points i jumped frmo 1.6 to 4.6 mb/sec or something | [06:52] | |
RandalSchwartz | I like how I can have five tunnels
I have one that terminates in LA and another in London | [06:53] | |
merky | megabytes that is | [06:53] | |
RandalSchwartz | the london one is handy for watching iplayer :) | [06:53] | |
merky | i am using all 5 of mine up
i have three that terminate in LA and one that terminates in london and the other one ic an't remember where it is won't that need ipv4? i've got a xen vps in the uk oh i have 4 in LA now i want more :( or more people to support ipv6 2051k average, versus 1701k average it's faster... gah it's still skipping | [06:53] | |
RandalSchwartz | time to wander off to work | [06:58] | |
merky | work hard :/ | [06:58] | |
RandalSchwartz | although, you won't notice here...
since it'll just mean I'm quiet for a few minutes. :) | [06:58] | |
merky | heh
that's my trick! | [06:59] | |
RandalSchwartz | Terminal.app -> ssh -> screen -> emacs -> irc.el | [06:59] | |
merky | tried tmux? | [06:59] | |
RandalSchwartz | the magic is in the "screen"
tried yes. | [06:59] | |
merky | it's like screen but better
didn't like it? | [06:59] | |
RandalSchwartz | it was missing a few common features for me
can't remember what they might be there now | [06:59] | |
merky | i hardly use any features | [06:59] | |
RandalSchwartz | yeah, in that case, you might be satisfied easier than I was | [07:00] | |
bob^^ | is tmux in base on freebsd yet? | [07:00] | |
merky | just multiple windows and attach/detach | [07:00] | |
bob^^ | i know they were tryin to add it
*trying | [07:00] | |
RandalSchwartz | tmux is a port | [07:00] | |
merky | not sure, i know it's in base in openbsd | [07:00] | |
RandalSchwartz | I doubt it'll ever be a base | [07:00] | |
merky | shift to openbsd :/ | [07:00] | |
RandalSchwartz | did openbsd for four years
very happy to have moved to freebsd | [07:00] | |
merky | haha | [07:00] | |
RandalSchwartz | freebsd = zfs-on-root + pf + huge ports catalog
openbsd, not so much | [07:01] | |
bob^^ | http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-September/011762.html
looks like it might appear eventually | [07:01] | |
RandalSchwartz | just theo's paranoi | [07:01] | |
merky | yaeh, | [07:01] | |
RandalSchwartz | paranoia | [07:01] | |
merky | zfs is cool | [07:01] | |
RandalSchwartz | I have four boxes all with zfs for / | [07:01] | |
merky | it's why i'm doing opensolaris/xen | [07:01] | |
RandalSchwartz | no ufs at all
I tried opensolaris but with the legal uncertainty, it's a mess now | [07:01] | |
merky | i hate opensolaris | [07:01] | |
RandalSchwartz | oracle is ruining everything sun stood for | [07:01] | |
merky | yeah well we're already using it | [07:02] | |
bob^^ | it's very sad :( | [07:02] | |
merky | i know :( | [07:02] | |
RandalSchwartz | I had an amazon ec2 instance for six months on opensol
moved that here as soon as I discovered ARP | [07:02] | |
merky | oh you're running opensolaris on arp? | [07:02] | |
RandalSchwartz | no - I ported back to freebsd
it was openbsd -> opensol -> freebsd | [07:02] | |
merky | ahh
i can't stand opensolaris but... it hasn't really given many issues | [07:03] | |
RandalSchwartz | the management stuff is interesting
powerful, but arcane | [07:03] | |
merky | and as a virtualisation platform i haven't foudnanything better | [07:03] | |
RandalSchwartz | I find freebsd's rc.d files to be much more to my liking | [07:03] | |
merky | vmware esx... linux vserver... openvz...
none of them sounding that exciting never tried kvm properly, i tried it on desktop and it wouldn't go i think it crashed my computer or just didn't work then i tried virtualbox for the same thing, and it went :/ virtualbox is terrible for cpu idle i think from memory | [07:04] | |
RandalSchwartz | RandalSchwartz wanders off | [07:05] | |
merky | bob did you ever use opensolaris? | [07:08] | |
*** | schmir has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) | [07:10] | |
bob^^ | nah
i've used proper solaris though (solaris 9 and 10) (actually, 8, 9 and 10!) | [07:10] | |
merky | ahh
i've used solaris 7 | [07:11] | |
bob^^ | i guess it's not too different | [07:11] | |
merky | it's all dirty | [07:11] | |
bob^^ | i quite liked solaris
<3 CDE :) | [07:11] | |
merky | haha | [07:12] | |
bob^^ | used to run it on my sun ultra30 :D | [07:12] | |
merky | when i'm "working"
i use ion otherwise i've been using windows heh | [07:12] | |
bob^^ | yeah tbh i've gone back to using windows on my work machines :( | [07:12] | |
merky | i have some really shitty sparc somewhere
it was really slow | [07:12] | |
bob^^ | i'd love to get a decent mac | [07:12] | |
merky | ssh key generation was noticably like
delayed | [07:12] | |
bob^^ | hehe yeah the u30 wasn't exactly fast :) | [07:12] | |
merky | and it's frame buffer was omg-slow | [07:13] | |
bob^^ | i remember putting openbsd on it
and trying to build X it took over a week | [07:13] | |
merky | i put openbsd on mine
i didn't compile on it though i think | [07:13] | |
bob^^ | tbh, i can't remember if i let it finish | [07:13] | |
merky | it didn't have much ram as well | [07:13] | |
bob^^ | i think i got bored and re-installed slowlaris | [07:13] | |
merky | heh
slowaris really is slow | [07:13] | |
bob^^ | mine had 512mb iirc - and quite a big scsi disk
still.. i had 64bit before everyone else :D | [07:14] | |
merky | 512mb is lots
aren't all sparcs 64 bit? | [07:14] | |
bob^^ | for the u30, it was really nicely specc'd
had a creator3d in it too yeah merky, i think so :) | [07:14] | |
merky | i stuck openbsd on some 1u sparc too
i can't remember what kind | [07:14] | |
bob^^ | sparc is nice
we had a box on trial from sun a couple of years ago T2000 iirc it was beatiful and had 64 sparc procs in it iirc and 64gb of ram or something stupid | [07:15] | |
merky | heh | [07:15] | |
bob^^ | and 8 little SAS disks in the front | [07:16] | |
merky | it makes a lot less sense now | [07:16] | |
bob^^ | such nice hardware - all brushed aluminium | [07:16] | |
merky | but a while back
pc rackmount hardware was real lame well actually pc server hardware in general was lame | [07:16] | |
bob^^ | yeah | [07:17] | |
merky | its' got better over the yaers thuogh
bu oh well solaris is dead as good as dead at least | [07:17] | |
RandalSchwartz | I used solaris 1 and 2 :)
back when it was called sunos 4 and sunos 5 | [07:18] | |
merky | huh? | [07:18] | |
RandalSchwartz | 1991-ish | [07:19] | |
merky | i used sunos
yaeh sun3/60 | [07:19] | |
RandalSchwartz | solaris 1 was the distro that had sunos 4 in it
and solaris 2 was the distro of sunos 5 | [07:19] | |
bob^^ | hehe | [07:19] | |
merky | oh taht reminds me | [07:19] | |
RandalSchwartz | although a lot of people at the time just said "sunos" vs "solaris" | [07:19] | |
merky | i have some sparc clone i was goign to get going some time
but i never got aroundto it it's probably in my garage | [07:19] | |
RandalSchwartz | we had mostly sun4's in the server room | [07:20] | |
merky | i've had it for years | [07:20] | |
RandalSchwartz | and sun3's on desktops | [07:20] | |
merky | yeah
optical mice that need a special pad | [07:20] | |
RandalSchwartz | a grand total of 16GB of disk for 40 engineers! | [07:20] | |
merky | and are bulky like amiga mice
that's FOUR HUNDED MEGABYTES PER USER | [07:20] | |
RandalSchwartz | rebooting to install 10.6.6 | [07:20] | |
merky | andyou canshare binaries etc
andsave space macos? i can't remembe rseeing a sun4 http://web.archive.org/web/20000817004025/www.sparcproductdirectory.com/19rack-10.html they're all ugly | [07:21] | |
RandalSchwartz | good, that semes to have worked
upgrades are always a bit of risk anyone want a wuala invite? | [07:32] | |
merky | what's wuala? | [07:34] | |
RandalSchwartz | like dropbox, 2GB initial, but you can get more just by sharing *your* hard drive space of an always-on machine
also strong encryption... they don't have your cleartext so, unlike dropbox. :) | [07:34] | |
merky | oh weird. | [07:35] | |
RandalSchwartz | I'm sharing 50GB of my home server with them, and now I have 50GB of cloud storage | [07:35] | |
merky | i had that idea :/ | [07:35] | |
RandalSchwartz | I use it to transfer stuff between home and laptop | [07:35] | |
merky | what net speed does it need? | [07:35] | |
RandalSchwartz | not dialup :) | [07:35] | |
merky | heh | [07:35] | |
RandalSchwartz | you can set the clients to throttle | [07:35] | |
bob^^ | interesting idea | [07:35] | |
merky | i have bw limit on my home connection | [07:35] | |
RandalSchwartz | if you go to the site, you get 1GB, but I have invites that start you at 2
anyone want one? | [07:36] | |
toddf | randalschwartz: since they have bins I presume it's not open source? | [07:36] | |
RandalSchwartz | yeah, not open source | [07:36] | |
merky | oh 2gb isn't that much | [07:36] | |
RandalSchwartz | but built on many o/s technologies
2gb isn't much... it's the trading of space that makes it intersting you can also just outright rent space too like dropbox | [07:36] | |
merky | can you rsync etc to it? | [07:36] | |
RandalSchwartz | sorta. | [07:37] | |
toddf | are there other companies that are open source that do this? | [07:37] | |
RandalSchwartz | they give you a netdrive equivalent | [07:37] | |
merky | or is there some annoying api? | [07:37] | |
RandalSchwartz | it's done with FUSE
so it's a little weird the problem is that it's encrypted locally before shipping so you have to have some local driver intercept the calls | [07:37] | |
toddf | monetizing unutilized bandwidth and unlimited electricity in my office and idle and empty disks seems like a good idea to me ;-) | [07:37] | |
merky | don't think i have a need for it | [07:37] | |
RandalSchwartz | toddf - want an invite? | [07:37] | |
toddf | randalschwartz: dunno, I run only openbsd, so ... ;-) | [07:38] | |
merky | qos it | [07:38] | |
RandalSchwartz | oh - not sure they have a client for that
they have some sort of command-line client that runs under linux emulation mode for freebsd | [07:38] | |
toddf | there is a 'compile from source' option, woah | [07:39] | |
merky | openbsd can actually run linux and freebsd binaries in theory | [07:39] | |
toddf | http://www.dropbox.com/downloading?os=lnx
its much better to run native, freebsd/linux emulation works for some things, but it comes down to which system calls are used, some newer ones are not emulated at all | [07:39] | |
merky | ahh ok | [07:40] | |
RandalSchwartz | pedants would say your terminology is a bit off | [07:40] | |
merky | i haven't used it in ages
i haven't run openbsd as a desktop in ages | [07:40] | |
RandalSchwartz | like calling "wine" an emulator :) | [07:40] | |
toddf | s/emulated/mapped/ | [07:40] | |
RandalSchwartz | freebsd doesn't "emulate" linux | [07:40] | |
merky | i used to use it as a desktop and use opera under emulation | [07:40] | |
RandalSchwartz | yeah - it can use a different mapping of syscalls | [07:40] | |
toddf | s/emulated/implemented/ | [07:40] | |
RandalSchwartz | so there's no indirection there
just a bit set in the process table | [07:41] | |
merky | it used to be that it used old redhat binaries
for libc etc | [07:41] | |
RandalSchwartz | still does, as I recall | [07:41] | |
merky | i can't say i've kept up with it
oh btw can freebsd 64 bit kernel run 32 bit apps? | [07:41] | |
RandalSchwartz | I suspect so | [07:42] | |
merky | linux can
i have found in the past openbsd can't :/ | [07:42] | |
RandalSchwartz | yeah - my 64-bit machine here has a lib32.so
so I presume that's the old lib interface | [07:42] | |
merky | hmm | [07:43] | |
toddf | the source has a libnautilus extension, so in theory it should work | [07:43] | |
merky | maybe i should try out freebsd sometime
cos mostly i just want openbgpd, relayd, pf etc which all aren't on linux but all seem to be on freebsd too i wonder if they're on netbsd netbsd seemed cleaner than freebsd last time i looked | [07:43] | |
toddf | and the reason you don't want to try OpenBSD is ? ;-)
the migration from OpenBSD to the other BSD's lags somewhat.. hmm, it talks about the open source dropbox plugin downloading the dropbox binary, hmm | [07:44] | |
merky | i'm already using openbsd :)
i'm mostly worried about the whole network speed thign with openbsd. | [07:46] | |
toddf | sorry, probably missed some prior scrollback
network speed thing? | [07:46] | |
merky | not enough development seems to be happening | [07:46] | |
toddf | what typeof network speed are you worried about? | [07:47] | |
merky | oh | [07:47] | |
toddf | WTF?
"NOT ENOUGH DEVELOPMENT" ???? | [07:47] | |
merky | openbsd only just added automatic receive window scaling | [07:47] | |
toddf | you are obviously not reading source-changes nor tech | [07:47] | |
merky | but it only works if the other end supports tcp timestmaps | [07:47] | |

merky | but i mean network stuff is a bit lagged behind freebsd etc. | [07:47] | |
toddf | none of that has anything to do with routing and firewalling | [07:47] | |
merky | oh yaeh, but as far as hosting stuff on it | [07:48] | |
toddf | it only effects userland apps serving content (httpd, etc) | [07:48] | |
merky | yeah i know
well i live in new zealand, and using openbsd on raw hardware as routers | [07:48] | |
toddf | I've had no issues hosting content on openbsd and am willing to take a performance hit if it happens to have a more secure system. I know that's not everyone. | [07:49] | |
merky | and found it fine..
well yaeh, -current has new window scaling code in it but it requires the other end to have tcp timestamps enabled. that's the main gotcha i i have with openbsd. amd tjat and that's mostly abotu usig relayd etc. you can force set a socket buffer size | [07:49] | |
toddf | randalschwartz: I'll let you know if I want an invite, I'll setup a test account with a generic email etc and if I can do it fully open source, then I'll accept the invite, otherwise not worth my time | [07:50] | |
merky | anyway, 4.9 should be a bit better for network performance of daemons etc. | [07:51] | |
toddf | merky: openbsd is not against people sending diffs.. ;-) | [07:51] | |
merky | toddf: yeah well i still wasn't sure exactly what i was doing
i tried posting to the dev mailing lsit.. i tried hacking the source but it's kind of complicated. and i don't understand everything have you ever got a diff accepted? | [07:51] | |
toddf | grep todd /dev/MAKEDEV
so you can understand I have some bias ;-) | [07:52] | |
merky | ahhh..
well i dunno is it okay to look at freebsd code or something for inspiration? it's bad to look at linux code cos of licensing? and if code ends up too similar can be complicated? | [07:53] | |
toddf | no point in reinventing the wheel, credit from where it came from, bsd or similarly licensed is fine, linux if you read for docs but don't borrow code tends to be ok | [07:55] | |
merky | hmm
maybe i should check freebsd basically i just want window scaling to work without tcp timestamps | [07:55] | |
toddf | sounds like you do need to check that other os's perform 'better' for your application. otherwise you're wasting your time wading in the code. ;-)
do you have an application or just want the feature? | [07:56] | |
merky | international tcp/ip performance is quite noticable
umm international web browisng through squid as a proxy.. i suppose i need to find a way to record what sites have tcp time stamps on like tcp dump maye but on linux /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps being 0 | [07:56] | |
toddf | scientific method and all that, you have to be able to have numerics behind your claims that things are slower or you don't know if you've fixed them to be faster when you change the source | [07:58] | |
merky | makes -current go at 60k/sec or something internationally
well it's real obivous i mean it's a known limitation from what claudio said he went and took out net.inet.tcp.recvspace | [07:58] | |
RandalSchwartz | trying out the Mac App store. Just downloaded Twitter with it... very slick | [08:00] | |
merky | oh they actually did that?
i thought that'd be in macos 10.7 | [08:01] | |
RandalSchwartz | new in 10.6.6
the rest of the interface mangling comes in 10.7, I'm told | [08:07] | |
merky | is 10.6.6 much better?
gah i should go to bed | [08:07] | |
toddf | so the dropbox open source system is an interface to their proprietary daemon | [08:11] | |

toddf | so for the fun and adventuresome I've re-packed a program file wuala distributes to x86 unixen .. it contained linux swt class files checking into linux .so objects, replace them with openbsd objects, and wallah, gui works! | [10:30] | |
RandalSchwartz | yeay! | [10:33] | |
toddf | http://todd.fries.net/private/Wuala.368 -> wuala/Program4/Wuala.368 on OpenBSD/i386 and presto
presuming you have jdk installed blah blah | [10:33] | |
RandalSchwartz | and then you too can have dropbox-like filesharing, but better | [10:34] | |
toddf | time to see if nfs works, after I see the TOS
I specifically will be looking to find the 'share my disk for profit' details | [10:34] | |
vcs | haha | [10:35] | |
Lefty | toddf: "voila", not "wallah" ;) | [10:35] | |
toddf | Lefty: you get the idea in any event | [10:36] | |
Lefty | true, true
that's the nice thing about shared objects they make things portable! (in theory) | [10:36] | |
toddf | bah, account creation failed because of some swt class not present
next round of 'how can I hack/fix this' ;-) | [10:39] | |
*** | mattx86 has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) | [10:43] | |
RandalSchwartz | wuala tells me you're activated
oh weird. I got the email, but nothing in the wuala interface | [10:43] | |
toddf | yeah, signin is finding more swt classes wuala adds in their hidden (wuala/Program4/Wuala.368) class library, so I'm adding them as it `notifies me' in full dialog alert mode
-nogui permits login | [10:44] | |
.... (idle for 16mn) | |||
looks like nfs needs to be enabled in the gui, continuing gui crash and fix mode | [11:03] | ||
BarberRonny | :P | [11:03] | |
RandalSchwartz | oh look, there you are in my friend request list
by the way, you get all the "pro" features (backup and sync etc) just by sharing even the smallest amount of disk | [11:11] | |
toddf | I'm still fighting the gui, but presuming I get that fixed, I'll be shairing more than a small amount of disk presuming I get $$ for the effort, where's the link to do that or is it in the gui also? | [11:14] | |
RandalSchwartz | you don't get $$. you get cloudspace.
the cloudspace *would have cost you $$* you really were distracted on that phone call. :) | [11:22] | |
toddf | yeah, indeed | [11:23] | |
RandalSchwartz | but for example, I now have 64GB of cloudspace
so I can share big files with my friends, or slowly transfer a lot of data from my home drobo to my work laptop while I'm on the road I could have *paid* for that with dropbox, but it's free with wuala in fact, if I get it large enough, I can use it to automatically make cloud-safe my pictures during a trip just point wuala at my Aperture library | [11:23] | |
toddf | how does it work if your shared space goes away (say disk failure, etc) ?
say you have 64g shared to them in the cloud, but then you loose net/disk/etc .. do you get to plop in a new disk and share it again within e.g. 2 days and all is good or do you pay for 2 days of 64gb etc? | [11:27] | |
RandalSchwartz | it drifts by 3% a day
weighted average and they keep your stuff on the cloud... you just can't get to it it seemed like they really wanted to be forgiving of possible failure modes but they do eventually have to notify you of impending deletion | [11:28] | |
toddf | I presume they have a policy in place to not have people abuse that, upload 128gb, drop the local 128gb share, a year later, new 128gb share and re-download the data .. etc | [11:29] | |
RandalSchwartz | yeah, it looked sensible
involving notifications and such | [11:30] | |
toddf | so in essense by serving them some less reliable disk I get them to have more reliable disk to store data into | [11:32] | |
RandalSchwartz | seems that way :) | [11:32] | |
toddf | wonder if there's a xfer limit or what their policy is on their end wrt data storage, I presume they expect most people to purchase rather than share, and those that share permit them to monetize the shared disk space, sure would be nice if we could share disk space and make money off it also
obviously at a lesser rate than they'd charge for it will sure be nice when the api is available, having java classes auto downloaded with shared libraries doesn't give me warm fuzzies | [11:34] | |

ideas1 | lol
lacie just bought them this past year | [13:32] | |
toddf | so bottom line is, they have a teaser of an open api, closed source ``security'' algorithms in java that downloads shared libs to your disk and uses them instead of your shared libs .. hmm.... I think I'll wait till I can inspect an openly implemented client of wuava or anything similar | [13:35] | |
