phlux: I taught as part of the MIT HSSP (afterschool/summer classes for nerds), then as part of Northeastern University's Bootstrap (after-school program for poor nerds), then I organized the thoughtbot Workshops (Rails classes for rich ex-nerds). Now I do nothing.
But I met Taylor when I taught the MIT thing.
Intro to Perl, Advanced Perl, and "What's Cool about Computer Science?" we the classes I taught there.
you should consider doing an online class,  all kidding aside.   I've wanted to learn a language for years.  but either time constraints,  or pure "overwhelmed by information" has kind of always gotten in the way.
I don't have the skills to teach online
different way of working than I'm familiar with
ahh, gotcha
it's easier just to have people buy my books
It's too easy to skip around, and miss critical pieces of info in a book.  I need more of a structured environment.
ahh, the lacking of discipline
"ahh, this is boring,  let me skip to the interesting chapters"
indeed
I'm familiar with that, being slightly ADD
I'm not so much ADD,  as..  I am REALLY strapped for time..    and in my own mind,  I KNOW taking the shortcut costs me *more* time..  but,  it just always happens.  I skip right to the part I need right then,  and never get to go back.
"I'll do what I need for right now,  and go back and LEARN it later"  and we all know,  later never comes.
I can "get by" in several languages.  usually, at a very slow pace and with much trial and error.  but I don't know *any* language well enough to write a decent scrpt from scratch. (discounting shell scripts, and a little php)
I learned more from experience than from class/books. That takes much longer, though.
Yeah, it's taken me *years*
Exactly.
I don't do enough coding. I'd probably never consider myself 'proficient' at a language.  but I'd like to learn enough to be fnctional in either perl, or python.
mmm still loving OpenBSD
Afternoon, is the IPv6 down at Arp right now?
I'm receiving no route to host whenever I attempt to use it.  Was working fine up until about a hour ago.
my VPS is still up
on ipv6
try to traceroute
I ended up restarting the networking, again, its back up
hey vcs :)
mr sundial :)
its shat
lol
on efnet :)
haah
lol
hai
check dmesg
for wha?
everything is up and running now
for any network device timeouts
except for me seeing this attack on my oidentd lol
lol
Getting angry at ln -s
heh
whenever I do
ln -s /usr/local/bandwidthd/htdocs/ /usr/local/www/traffic/
then, go inside of .traffic/ from within /usr/local/www/
it has htdocs/ listed, from the bandwidthd
instead of the contents of bandwidthd
I just want it to, if I go into traffic/ and ls -lsa, it shows me the contents of /usr/local/bandwidthd/htdocs/
check this out :) :( http://pastebin.com/KaeZVREW
I discovered that `ln' has a -v flag the other day. Can't believe it took me this one.
long
syn flood
lol
yeah
pain in my rear
i just removed the ip
wait a bit
added itb ack
what OS are you on
fbsd
are you using syncache
that can help
im not sure blocking those ip's would help if they are spoofing
nah
good idea
synfloods normally have spoofed layer 3 headers
so blocking by ip is pretty useless
most of the time
yeah
it was only for like 200k/s
not really a big attack by no means
box is using .78k/s right now
OH OH 7k/s
lol
lol
the probl with syn floods is a small ammount of trafic
can rape all new connects
i would turn on syncache
if i were you
it in ports?
http://people.freebsd.org/~jlemon/papers/syncache.pdf
its available through sysctl
also turn on syn cookies
sweet
ty
np
here's one for ya when i start lighttpd:
Starting lighttpd.
2011-01-19 10:35:38: (network.c.261) getaddrinfo failed:  hostname nor servname provided, or not known ' 174.136.105.82 '
no reverse dns
setup sounds like
weird, it has rdns
i wonder if I should use the host versus ip?
you may need to set it
in /etc/hosts
to not get that eror
if you have not yet
put it in there
tried to start, same error
hmm
i only know apche
weird
had to put hostname versus ip
heh
lol
the arpnetworks vps page says openbsd 4.7 is supported. is openbsd 4.8 supported too?
anything you want to install
anything you want to point an ISO at. :)
although, it may mean that you'll be booted with a 4.7, and you have to do the 4.8 install yourself
you can mount any ISO you want in your CD drive.
