qbit_: so is the arpnetworks user what does teh "graceful reboot" ?
RandalSchwartz: it doesn't do it by a user
mhoran: ACPI.
RandalSchwartz: it sends an ACPI signal
qbit_: ah
what is the arpnetworks user for then?
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!
qbit_: kew

RandalSchwartz: except that I don't have an arp user any more. :)
luckily I have ACPI though

mhoran: Ha.
jpalmer: real men do it by pulling the power cord.
RandalSchwartz: chuck norris powers his machine down just by waving his beard at it.
jpalmer: 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.

admica: getting lots of traffic today from the mentions on slashdot??
RandalSchwartz: arp got mentioned?
vcs: arp got slashdotted?
mike-burns: Slashdot is still around?
vcs: the quality of its editors
RandalSchwartz: ahh http://ask.slashdot.org/story/11/12/23/2334215/ask-slashdot-best-inexpensive-vps-provider
vcs: hasn't changed
but it is still around
for better or worse
posting around 5 dupes / old news every day
:D
mike-burns: Ah, such fond memories.
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
mike-burns: Yeah that thing is basically unmentioned these days.
vcs: i still read slashdot for the comedic effect
twobithacker: digg? fark?
vcs: but never for anything serious
mike-burns: Hah, "I read Slashdot for the articles"
vcs: slashdot is pretty laughable in terms of credibility
lol
admica: i guess this is the wrong place to ask nub questions then?
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.
vcs: lol
mhoran: Heh.
admica: excellent, here goes.. how do I go about transfering my domain records from my old slicehost provider to arp?
RandalSchwartz: digg yeah
mike-burns: admica: You'll want to run your own named, either BIND or the other one that everyone else is about to suggest.
mhoran: Hurricane Electric has free DNS hosting these days, too.
mike-burns: NSD.
mhoran: But yeah, it's way more "fun" to run your own named.
RandalSchwartz: you just want a good secondary
I use my own named, and he.net for my secondary
mhoran: Same.
RandalSchwartz: Hmm. NSD can read BIND files.
mhoran: Yeah.
RandalSchwartz: Perhaps I should switch to that.
... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSD
mhoran: Might as well!
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
mike-burns: You can run a Web UI for your DNS server!
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.
RandalSchwartz: yeah, he.net is quite cool
plus your stuff gets served ipv6 for free.
mhoran: Yeap.
admica: oh i registered my domains through godaddy but they're all in the middle of a transfer to namecheap
mike-burns: That should be fine, and nice choice.
admica: so i change the ip address from namecheap then?
mike-burns: Yup.
reardencode: yay for #SOPAsucks
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?
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
mhoran: Whew. Transferred.
admica: i can tell you for sure if namecheap ever finishes the transfer. mine were not expiring until 2013 but i transfered them anyway
mhoran: Yeah namecheap actually says it's a renewal.
So on top of existing.
admica: is there any restriction on the services i can host on my vps?
mhoran: Just these rules: http://www.arpnetworks.com/aup
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
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.

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 ;)
up_the_irons: LOL
RandalSchwartz: alyssa milano
jpalmer: yeah, that chick :P
RandalSchwartz: who blogs frequently
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.
RandalSchwartz: ... http://alyssamilano.posterous.com/
she was in a few movies completely naked.
not that you might care.
jpalmer: I can't say I've ever seen her naked, or even topless.
RandalSchwartz: if you need links, I can provide. :)

up_the_irons: pics or it didn't happen
jpalmer: haha
***: tubgoat_ has joined #arpnetworks
jpalmer: 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..
up_the_irons: yeah, you've been in denial
jpalmer: So, I think I need an intervention. found Waze 20 days ago. I have 60k points, and 20k map edits in :/
up_the_irons: wow
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
the ones from embrace the vampire look legit. and.. nice
up_the_irons: link?
-: jpalmer goes back to editing waze maps
up_the_irons: doh
jpalmer: I just did an images.google.com search for alyssa milano topless
-: up_the_irons googles
jpalmer: a lot of them look fake. but the ones from that movie look like they may be real
up_the_irons: yeah, lots of fakes
twobithacker: I seem to recall she was fairly aggressive about suing people who posted images of her
