mike-burns: Consult the freebsd manual.
And I would bet thier IRC channel would be helpful.
There's a helpful FreeBSD IRC channel?
Heh
up_the_irons: you around?
mike-burns: I can confirm that my setup works fine with unicode characters. I have gnome-terminal and ssh on Ubuntu on the client end, and screen and irssi on Debian at the server end.
åäö ;)
gluffis: Yeah, they look fine here :)
hehe
mike-burns: while my desktop is not FreeBSD, I'm running Ubuntu Lucid, with screen on a server (which is Ubuntu Dapper [damn, i didn't realize it was that old]), and weechat 2.x.  I can see all unicode just fine.
and that is with a stock setup.  just gotta make sure your TERM is en_US.UTF8 and the locale files are present for that setting
привет
up_the_irons: could you set my VPS up for me?  ◔ ◡ ◔
您好
こんにちは
that was "Hello" in Russian, Chinese (traditional) and Japanese
☃ <-- unicode snowman, if it didn't come out right, or was too small to see
I don't know how to type those in, I just copy & paste from Google Translate :)
plett: i see the snowman (pretty small though)
ah much better
my desktop is running OpenBSD--I had to set my LC_CTYPE to en_US.UTF-8
oh yeah, scratch TERM from what i said above, I meant LANG
up_the_irons: think you could do that for me?  ◔ ◡ ◔
slackee: i'm doing a round of orders after support tickets, so probably in 30 minutes.  if there are no issues with your order, you'll get the vps.
up_the_irons: thanks :)
slackee: just fyi, asking me on IRC doesn't make it happen any faster
Aight, some providers it does is all.
Sorry if it was inappropriate.
np
Besides the timezone mismatch I've found up_the_irons very easy to work with. When it's your turn you'll be well looked after slackee.
:)
well that is good to hear.
up_the_irons: setting $LANG to en_US.UTF-8 was exactly what I needed to know.
Thanks for the help everyone!
lol
anybody know the cost of getting a class C?
https://www.arin.net/fees/fee_schedule.html#isps -- under Determining Fees.
Though typically your ISP would give it to you, and for free, or a small cost.
Unless you mean with arpnetworks, in which case you should mail support.
yeah, I meant with arp
I used to rent a couple racks in a datacenter, and they were cheap, but that was a few years back.
Yeah typically ISPs are reasonable. But I'm not sure if up_the_irons has much spare let alone an entire class C.
well, the idea is they can generally get more pretty easily ;)
I don't really know how it all works though
we started with a /27 and then added a /24, I think it was maybe $50/month
I think less but *shrug*
maybe buying IP's from IANA is the way to go?
You actually can't really get htem from IANA unless you're an ISP.
