anyone with a rough idea how long a VPS would take to get setup tonight?
just wondering if anyones around to actually do it
suppose ill take my chances RandalSchwartz: "tonight"?
expect 24-72 hours for any request
when did you submit? rapeghost: i didnt
i was just wondering before i ordered, thats all RandalSchwartz: ahh. this place is not for quick turnarounds on anything
timely, but not quick rapeghost: thats fine, i can deal
its a wonder to even get *any* service on a Saturday night RandalSchwartz: and I find your nick offensive.
if you intend that, just know it worked. rapeghost: whats wrong with the electronic rap ghost? RandalSchwartz: if you have to ask... rapeghost: are you messing with me? RandalSchwartz: I see "rape" "ghost"
and you damn well know that rapeghost: i see rap eghost
the electronic rap ghost RandalSchwartz: yeah, and remember, it's the reciever of the communication who does the interpretation
just telling you what *I* see
and that's all that matters rapeghost: shrug, i'd probably ask that you not take IRC so seriously RandalSchwartz: and I'd ask you to pick a less offensive nick ***: rapeghost has left RandalSchwartz: there. problem solved. mercutio: i googled for rapeghost


ROBOT CHICKEN: Rape Ghost A bunch of kids are in for the scariest night of their lives in a haunted mansion. Well, some of them are. RandalSchwartz: Yeah - looks like "rape ghost" to me :) mercutio: same
and there's things that come up for rape ghost :) RandalSchwartz: I have no tolerance for people who are "in your face" offensive
I will always call them on it mercutio: i'm not really phased either way myself
people are people
at the end of the day, i'd rather people be themselves.. and if they want to see themselves as shocking then so be it RandalSchwartz: and people who need to see themselves as shocking often need to find a different outlet
for society's sake
I'm thinking of the greater good
when the medium outweighs the message, it's a bad sign. mercutio: i dunno you can change yourself but you can't change the world
you can set a good example, but you can't force someone to act how you want them to RandalSchwartz: I can ask for what I want, nicely.
And that's what I did.
The difference is that I actually ask, and most people don't. mercutio: he left anyway RandalSchwartz: so more often than not, I get what I want.
Yeah... he left because I asked him to change, and he refused.
he'll think twice about coming back here when I'm here. mercutio: yah think? RandalSchwartz: And thus, my goal is achieved.
Yeah - I think mercutio: he only wanted to know how long provisioning took RandalSchwartz: Nope - he was willing to be chatty after that mercutio: his goal was probably to find that out then leave RandalSchwartz: but I scared him away
nobody does that here. :)
people come in, and hang out
nobody leaves until they must mercutio: hmm
i left for ages.
well partially cos my irc wasn't running RandalSchwartz: there ya go. :) mercutio: i was actually hoping someone might know about the whole kvm thing
err
the openbsd/kvm thing
with mpbios RandalSchwartz: not me mercutio: because apparently more recent kvm versions don't need it disabled RandalSchwartz: I gave up on openbsd long ago mercutio: oh real
you using freebsd now?
or gone to windows? RandalSchwartz: freebsd
yeah
for last 18 months mercutio: i got burned by freebsd once
and switched to openbsd
and never looked back
mind you freebsd is probably fine if you use scsi
but like i got disk corruption
silently
that was with ATA RandalSchwartz: I'm using it only virtually
so I have no idea what it really does mercutio: dunno if sata has more protection
how do you find it? RandalSchwartz: find what? mercutio: freebsd RandalSchwartz: it has my three prereqs
PF
ZFS for /
large kept-up ports
fourth bonus: not linux :) mercutio: ahh is zfs performance ok in freebsd?
i've only used zfs with opensolaris RandalSchwartz: it suffices
