[09:45] In case you need to support to take a look at something for you. [09:46] Not necessary, but recommended. [09:46] You can delete it if you wish!

[12:19] real men do it by pulling the power cord. [12:20] chuck norris powers his machine down just by waving his beard at it. [12:21] hmm, maybe thats what I need. a chuck norris beard.

[13:57] arp got mentioned? [13:58] arp got slashdotted? [13:58] Slashdot is still around? [13:58] the quality of its editors [13:58] ahh http://ask.slashdot.org/story/11/12/23/2334215/ask-slashdot-best-inexpensive-vps-provider [13:58] hasn't changed [13:58] but it is still around [13:58] for better or worse [13:58] posting around 5 dupes / old news every day [13:58] :D [13:58] Ah, such fond memories. [13:59] ... http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2589090&cid=38478054 [13:59] even reddit is getting old [14:00] and I haven't even been to that other thing in a while [14:00] long enough that I can't remember [14:00] the thing that made some internet dude a pile of cash [14:00] Yeah that thing is basically unmentioned these days. [14:01] i still read slashdot for the comedic effect [14:01] digg? fark? [14:01] but never for anything serious [14:01] Hah, "I read Slashdot for the articles" [14:01] slashdot is pretty laughable in terms of credibility [14:01] lol [14:02] i guess this is the wrong place to ask nub questions then? [14:03] Depends on the question and the snarkiness of those awake. [14:03] Any question about the Arp VPS itself is totally fair game, of course. [14:03] We'll also field any and all questions about RandalSchwartz and how handsome he is. [14:04] lol [14:04] Heh. [14:04] excellent, here goes.. how do I go about transfering my domain records from my old slicehost provider to arp? [14:05] digg yeah [14:05] admica: You'll want to run your own named, either BIND or the other one that everyone else is about to suggest. [14:05] Hurricane Electric has free DNS hosting these days, too. [14:06] NSD. [14:06] But yeah, it's way more "fun" to run your own named. [14:06] you just want a good secondary [14:06] I use my own named, and he.net for my secondary [14:07] Same. [14:07] Hmm. NSD can read BIND files. [14:07] Yeah. [14:07] Perhaps I should switch to that. [14:07] ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSD [14:08] Might as well! [14:10] 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] You can run a Web UI for your DNS server! [14:10] 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. [14:11] If you registered your domain through slicehost then you may need to move it elsewhere e.g. name.com. [14:12] yeah, he.net is quite cool [14:13] plus your stuff gets served ipv6 for free. [14:13] Yeap. [14:14] oh i registered my domains through godaddy but they're all in the middle of a transfer to namecheap [14:14] That should be fine, and nice choice. [14:14] so i change the ip address from namecheap then? [14:15] Yup. [14:16] yay for #SOPAsucks [14:16] Hey does anyone know how transferring a domain like that works? [14:16] e.g. my current domain is with godaddy registerd through 2014 [14:17] If I transfer, and register for just a year, do I end up with expiring in 2013? [14:17] Or, does that become 2015? [14:18] 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 [14:24] Whew. Transferred. [14:25] i can tell you for sure if namecheap ever finishes the transfer. mine were not expiring until 2013 but i transfered them anyway [14:26] Yeah namecheap actually says it's a renewal. [14:26] So on top of existing. [14:26] is there any restriction on the services i can host on my vps? [14:27] Just these rules: http://www.arpnetworks.com/aup [14:27] I just want some web sites, ssh, teamspeak, and a mumble server right now. but what about seeding legal torrents? [14:29] "Prohibited Actions: System and Network Security" does this include systems and networks I own? [14:29] sometimes i need to test immarsat equipment and i like to use my vps to run a quick nmap scan on remote sites [14:30] More of a technicality, I'd email support and verify. [14:31] The "probing the security of other networks" is unqualified, where accessing data and logging into a server are allowed if you are authorized. [14:40] *** tubgoat has joined #arpnetworks [14:43] are there any specials going on right now for new customers? end of year, nosopa, 1st month free, anything? [14:50] did i get mentioned on slashdot again? [14:51] thought that was like last week [14:51] (and yeah, traffic went up 4x :) [14:53] admica: you will be fine with regards to the AUP [14:56] slashdot, #1 comedy site on the web [14:56] its a love hate relationship [15:17] *** admica has quit IRC (Quit: Page closed) [15:17] *** dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks [15:21] s/love// [15:48] jpalmer no longer loves anything [15:53] mv jpalmer /home/lonelyheartsclub [16:11] *** ziyourenxiang has joined #arpnetworks [16:11] *** dj_goku has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) [16:45] * jpalmer didn't add a "g" at the end, so it should have only matched the first "love" :P [16:49] good point [16:54] "matched his first love" - an ABC afterschool special!

(Alyssa Millano) sp? [18:29] so technically it was an afterschool.. thing. not sure I'd call it a special though :P [18:29] LOL [18:29] * jpalmer goes back to editing maps for Waze :P [18:30] fuckin love waze! [18:30] ARP should run a special. signup and mention your Waze username, and get a free first month! [18:31] yes, please allow me to take funds out of your pocket, to promote a completely unrelated product. I'm sure you don't mind ;) [18:31] LOL [18:35] alyssa milano [18:35] yeah, that chick :P [18:35] who blogs frequently [18:35] even today, I'd still rate her as "one of my top 5" :) [18:36] I'd blog occasionally, if I thought anyone would be interested in what I had to say. [18:36] instead, I just jump on IRC and bore the piss out of you poor folks. [18:37] ... http://alyssamilano.posterous.com/ [18:37] she was in a few movies completely naked. [18:37] not that you might care. [18:41] I can't say I've ever seen her naked, or even topless. [18:41] if you need links, I can provide. :) [18:42] *** tubgoat_ has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [18:42] pics or it didn't happen [18:43] haha [18:43] *** tubgoat_ has joined #arpnetworks [18:43] 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.. [18:44] yeah, you've been in denial [18:45] So, I think I need an intervention. found Waze 20 days ago. I have 60k points, and 20k map edits in :/ [18:45] wow [18:45] I've been the #1 user in my state, all 3 weeks. and #1 to #3 in the country, all 3 weeks :/ [18:46] ok, did an images.google.com search, and frankly.. all of these photos of her topless look.. photoshopped [18:51] the ones from embrace the vampire look legit. and.. nice [18:52] link? [18:52] * jpalmer goes back to editing waze maps [18:52] doh [18:52] I just did an images.google.com search for alyssa milano topless [18:52] * up_the_irons googles [18:53] a lot of them look fake. but the ones from that movie look like they may be real [18:54] yeah, lots of fakes [18:54] I seem to recall she was fairly aggressive about suing people who posted images of her [18:56] *** HighJinx has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [19:03] yes. embrace of the vampire is her nude. [19:03] and poison ivy 2 (or 3?) [19:04] I'd pull it up, but I'm in a public location [19:05] ... http://cndb.com/alyssa-milano--c25875.html [19:05] the quick answer. :) [19:05] RandalSchwartz: you just need one of these: http://www.malditoinsolente.com/imagenes/humor/inventos12_037.jpg [19:12] heh [19:23] *** amdprophet has joined #arpnetworks [20:06] *** wxyz has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [20:24] *** wxyz has joined #arpnetworks [20:38] *** HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks [21:49] jpalmer: i've had a blog (several, actually) for many years and i'm still surprised at the number of people interested in what i write.
