damn, cert expired
i don't want to renew with godaddy; any alternative recommendations?
jlgaddis: be careful with link saturations please :)
jlgaddis: ultimately, you can use your bandwidth however you like, but if you saturate the host link (100 Mbps), then it'll affect other customers on that host and that is no good for anyone
I tend to use the free startssl for most stuff, but maybe not a great idea if you're taking cards
up_the_irons: namecheap for ssl
up_the_irons: ... the reason why i asked  =)
namecheap, eh?  I'll check it out, tnx!
$10/yr for a geotrust cert from them
a buck cheaper for comodo but... well, f**k them
haha
i'll need a wildcard cert, so it'll be more, but $10/yr is great for a simple cert
that's about $125 iirc
still hella cheap for a wildcard cert though
ah yeah, not bad at all
up_the_irons: I'm currently using dnsimple for dns, purchased a comodo wildcard through them for $100/year
portertech: ah cool, tnx for the info
up_the_irons: vps not coming back after shutdown, following the addition of those cpus
portertech: vnc?
just did a hard shutdown, going to connect again, doesn't boot, i'll watch how far it goes again
"booting from hard disk", forever black
I'm assuming ubuntu is just being a pita
yeah probably
portertech: so, certain OS / distros have problems with SMP w/o setting some boot params for the kernel (such as nolapic and clock=pmtmr)
up_the_irons: is anyone else currently using ubuntu w/ SMP?
standard image?
portertech: yeah, but they might still be on 9.04
:(
Yeah. I was having issues booting Gentoo with SMP a while back. I think I was able to boot Debian Lenny OK with SMP but not Debian Squeeze
ok, i think i figured it out (actually, a customer figured it out last week with squeeze and sent me a full report)
for some reason, "clock=pmtmr" needs to be a boot param
for smp to work on squeeze; turns out this is also helping ubuntu 10.04
so in /etc/default/grub, you just modify a line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="clock=pmtmr"
up_the_irons: so you got a sneak preview of what portertech and I were working on?
I'm really surprised that 2 additional cores gave us over 3x message throughput
up_the_irons: how many physical cores per host box?
REGISTER #openrabbitmq
oops
47.3
47.3 cores?!?!
actually, .6
amdprophet: nah I'm just fucking with you. 15.999934999399 cores, but they're all Pentiums.
:(
amdprophet: yeah i saw it, looks cool :)
portertech: 8 cores total can be assigned to a vps
