I emailed sales/support last night and gave my number so hopefully someone will call me today.. marked call as the preferred method.
I don't expect near instantatneous VMs.. however something within a few hours would be more competitive.
Most of the VMs we are creating at work are more about space than performance so saying that arp can perform better will not be much of a selling point unfortunately.
The little I saw so far of the Rackspace cloud management, I don't think I saw FreeBSD so right now they are only using some Linux VMs. I think they are open to FreeBSD (the office serves will be getting FreeBSD).
francisco-reyes wants us all to pay more so that he can have quicker vm deployment.  There are other solutions for that. :)
:)
nice
:D
truly, there is a lot of competition out there.  lots of solutions at various price points.  I like this particular solution, which is why I'm here.
you want EC2 "deploy in 30 seconds", you know where to find it. )
true
What if we didn't pay more and also got a VM faster. Would that be fine?
what if I was 6 foot 2?
it's about as likely. :)
(for the record, I'm only 5'8"... a little short for a stormtrooper :)
we welcome our robot overlords!
heh
wickedSA: welcome :)
up_the_irons: word
66 people in here, a new record!!
65 + 1 bot technically :P
true
I'm a carbon-based robot

anyone have this problem: I send an email to an unknown user and then my vps seems to hang after that- my ssh connections die and I just get operation timeouts
what do you mean "unknown"?
the domain name doesn't resolve?
ssh: connect to host ..... port 22: Operation timed out
RandalSchwartz: btw, are you merlin?
"email to an unknown user"
in what sense, unknown?
that's what I meant
as in it doesn't exist
local user?
or remote user?
i forgot to restart the mail server after i added an alias
it'll go faster if you answer my questions. :)
is there an "@" in the email address of the unknown user?
mick@mydomain.com sends an email to unknownuser@mydomain.com
i tried to make it as simple as possible w./ that
so you are emailing "mick"
or "mick@mydomain.com"
you didn't answer my question though- are you merlin?
and is "mydomain.com" the domain that delivers locally to the box
I'm not merlin
But I often use "merlyn", yes.
ah i mean merlyn
what mailer?
what name server?
what is your /etc/resolv.conf?
postfix, and dovecot
dovecot doesn't matter
local or my server?
unless you're talking about remote access.
mick_home - what's the difference?
i mean, my vps is not accessible anymore
are you talking about *two* boxes?
i'm not sure that I'm making myself clear
I know you're not making yourself clear
that's why I'm trying to ask
vps is down, it seems to always happen when i email an unknown user
"I send mail".  how.  what application?
thunderbird
and from the VPS?
oh, FROM ANOTHER BOX
from another
that'd help to have known
ok, what's postfix saying in /var/log/maillog
right after you send that broken mail
i wish i knew :P
uh - "tail -f /var/log/maillog
nope, it broke the vps
what OS
ok again, if i send an email to an unknown user - my vps doesn't respond (to ssh or otherwise)
debian
your vps is running debian?
osx used to send debian on the vps
does it also fail pings?
yes
ok - I don't know much about linux
so I'm not the right guy
haven't run linux anywhere in years
let me guess, you are now an osx guy?
"now"?
I run freebsd on this server
the one I'm typing on to talk to you
ok
and osx on my desktop
never ran linux on my desktop
only on a server eight years ago
i know a lot of perl people that are converts from linux->osx
openbsd and freebsd since then
well - my mac preferred apple OS
and that's all I've ever owned for home machines
from a powerbook 140 to this macbookpro
we actually met once at YAPC::NA
in boca
cool!
well - boca was warm :)
funny, i'm back in now
this has happened to me a few times
it is actually kind of funny how often you meet people who are on irc
i wonder how i can troubleshoot this
since it is a bug *somewhere*
and it seems kind of serious
i wonder what would cause www postfix/smtpd[22426]: NOQUEUE: reject messages to freeze a box
