so is the arpnetworks user what does teh "graceful reboot" ?

[09:45]

RandalSchwartz

it doesn't do it by a user

[09:45]

mhoran

ACPI.

[09:45]

RandalSchwartz

it sends an ACPI signal

[09:45]

qbit_

ah
what is the arpnetworks user for then?

[09:45]

mhoran

In case you need to support to take a look at something for you.
Not necessary, but recommended.
You can delete it if you wish!

RandalSchwartz: qbit_ mhoran : actually, we do use it for graceful reboot if your OS doesn't respond to ACPI
(like OpenBSD)

[11:02]

chuck norris powers his machine down just by waving his beard at it.

[12:20]

hmm, maybe thats what I need. a chuck norris beard. I can stop fighting fires, cuz the fires will be so scared of me, they'll put themselves out.

getting lots of traffic today from the mentions on slashdot??

[13:57]

RandalSchwartz

arp got mentioned?

[13:57]

vcs

arp got slashdotted?

[13:58]

mike-burns

Slashdot is still around?

[13:58]

vcs

the quality of its editors

[13:58]

RandalSchwartz

ahh http://ask.slashdot.org/story/11/12/23/2334215/ask-slashdot-best-inexpensive-vps-provider

[13:58]

vcs

hasn't changed
but it is still around
for better or worse
posting around 5 dupes / old news every day
:D

[13:58]

mike-burns

Ah, such fond memories.

[13:58]

RandalSchwartz

... http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2589090&cid=38478054
even reddit is getting old
and I haven't even been to that other thing in a while
long enough that I can't remember
the thing that made some internet dude a pile of cash

[13:59]

mike-burns

Yeah that thing is basically unmentioned these days.

[14:00]

vcs

i still read slashdot for the comedic effect

[14:01]

twobithacker

digg? fark?

[14:01]

vcs

but never for anything serious

[14:01]

mike-burns

Hah, "I read Slashdot for the articles"

[14:01]

vcs

slashdot is pretty laughable in terms of credibility
lol

[14:01]

admica

i guess this is the wrong place to ask nub questions then?

[14:02]

mike-burns

Depends on the question and the snarkiness of those awake.
Any question about the Arp VPS itself is totally fair game, of course.
We'll also field any and all questions about RandalSchwartz and how handsome he is.

[14:03]

vcs

lol

[14:04]

mhoran

Heh.

[14:04]

admica

excellent, here goes.. how do I go about transfering my domain records from my old slicehost provider to arp?

[14:04]

RandalSchwartz

digg yeah

[14:05]

mike-burns

admica: You'll want to run your own named, either BIND or the other one that everyone else is about to suggest.

[14:05]

mhoran

Hurricane Electric has free DNS hosting these days, too.

[14:05]

mike-burns

NSD.

[14:06]

mhoran

But yeah, it's way more "fun" to run your own named.

[14:06]

RandalSchwartz

you just want a good secondary
I use my own named, and he.net for my secondary

[14:06]

mhoran

Same.

[14:07]

RandalSchwartz

Hmm. NSD can read BIND files.

[14:07]

mhoran

Yeah.

[14:07]

RandalSchwartz

Perhaps I should switch to that.
... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSD

[14:07]

mhoran

Might as well!

[14:08]

admica

i guess thats my problem. i didnt run a dns server, i just configured records for my little ol ip address and pointed to my providers servers in /etc/resolv.conf

[14:10]

mike-burns

You can run a Web UI for your DNS server!

[14:10]

mhoran

If you don't care / want to do any of that you can just use he.net and they have a nice little UI and all that.
If you registered your domain through slicehost then you may need to move it elsewhere e.g. name.com.

[14:10]

RandalSchwartz

yeah, he.net is quite cool
plus your stuff gets served ipv6 for free.

[14:12]

mhoran

Yeap.

[14:13]

admica

oh i registered my domains through godaddy but they're all in the middle of a transfer to namecheap

[14:14]

mike-burns

That should be fine, and nice choice.

[14:14]

admica

so i change the ip address from namecheap then?

[14:14]

mike-burns

Yup.

[14:15]

reardencode

yay for #SOPAsucks

[14:16]

mhoran

Hey does anyone know how transferring a domain like that works?
e.g. my current domain is with godaddy registerd through 2014
If I transfer, and register for just a year, do I end up with expiring in 2013?
Or, does that become 2015?

[14:16]

reardencode

I don't know for sure, but I _think_ the registration years are held with ICANN not the registrar -- any supplemental services (like privacy guard from godaddy) will be forfeited though for sure

[14:18]

mhoran

Whew. Transferred.

[14:24]

admica

i can tell you for sure if namecheap ever finishes the transfer. mine were not expiring until 2013 but i transfered them anyway

[14:25]

mhoran

Yeah namecheap actually says it's a renewal.
So on top of existing.

[14:26]

admica

is there any restriction on the services i can host on my vps?

[14:26]

mhoran

Just these rules: http://www.arpnetworks.com/aup

[14:27]

admica

I just want some web sites, ssh, teamspeak, and a mumble server right now. but what about seeding legal torrents?
"Prohibited Actions: System and Network Security" does this include systems and networks I own?
sometimes i need to test immarsat equipment and i like to use my vps to run a quick nmap scan on remote sites

[14:27]

mhoran

More of a technicality, I'd email support and verify.
The "probing the security of other networks" is unqualified, where accessing data and logging into a server are allowed if you are authorized.

so technically it was an afterschool.. thing. not sure I'd call it a special though :P

ARP should run a special. signup and mention your Waze username, and get a free first month!
yes, please allow me to take funds out of your pocket, to promote a completely unrelated product. I'm sure you don't mind ;)

RandalSchwartz

who blogs frequently

[18:35]

jpalmer

even today, I'd still rate her as "one of my top 5" :)
I'd blog occasionally, if I thought anyone would be interested in what I had to say.
instead, I just jump on IRC and bore the piss out of you poor folks.

[18:35]

RandalSchwartz

... http://alyssamilano.posterous.com/
she was in a few movies completely naked.
not that you might care.

[18:37]

jpalmer

I can't say I've ever seen her naked, or even topless.

[18:41]

RandalSchwartz

if you need links, I can provide. :)

which movies did she do nude? I have to admit.. it kinda just killed my "wholesome girl" mindset surrounding her (I've probably been in denial since my "who's the boss?" days anyway..

[18:43]

up_the_irons

yeah, you've been in denial

[18:44]

jpalmer

So, I think I need an intervention. found Waze 20 days ago. I have 60k points, and 20k map edits in :/

[18:45]

up_the_irons

wow

[18:45]

jpalmer

I've been the #1 user in my state, all 3 weeks. and #1 to #3 in the country, all 3 weeks :/
ok, did an images.google.com search, and frankly.. all of these photos of her topless look.. photoshopped

[18:45]

the ones from embrace the vampire look legit. and.. nice
