greets
any downtime lately?
not that I have noticed.
how's fbsd 9 shaping up in production?
it's nice
i can't say i would stick with it though. I mean, the biggest reason for using it is zfs
is it native zfs?
it's been worked into the kernel since version 7.4
i don't think it's considered native unless it is solaris though right?
technically it is a port from there
the performance is good though
granted, you need a ton of ram just for the filesystem
f that
i don't use new file systems
but how's fbsd 9 as a server
web/ftp/db/etc
it's not new....
not by any means
as a server is is pretty good, especially when you get proper jailing setup
compiling from source is slightly a pain on arch
freebsd
mostly because of the limited space on the virtual machine to begin with
tooth: it's native zfs, but...
arch?
are there console connections we can ssh into and then login to a non wheel user then su ?
i prefer that to directly ssh'ing into a shell
You can ssh into a console if you want, but you'll probably find it easier to ssh in directly :)
ok so arpN does offer that? excellent
Yeah
You can also vnc in
thanks meingtsla
fbsd 9 went with zfs as the default FS?
no
thankfully "delusional enough to call it 'production ready'" isn't the same as "full retard"
hehe  I was gonna say
hi, i just registered an account and want to add a vps... do i have to logout and go back to the main site to place the order?
or do i just place the order from the main site and mention my login name in the comments
the latter should be fine...
ok, thanks
unrelated: is there something weird going on with the internet at large in north america and asia? seeing insane packetloss and crap throughput everywhere
if everything sucks, seems more likely it's a problem on your end.
nah, it's our datacenters in hong kong and san jose and new jersey
seeing throughput 1/5 of what it was two months ago
bill```, whoa
i've actually noticed over the past 2-3 mo my home dsl connection being noticeably slower
i've been kinda monitoring it, talking to others
internet traffic report says asia is at 33% packetloss and NA is at 25%
haven't heard much, so your info is interesting
yeah, i've been looking but no one is talking about it
if i had to bet money knowing nothing about the situation, it'd be that snooping equipment is being installed at hubs
haha :)
i'm actually serious
i wouldn't really be surprised if you're right
what else would cause a general degradation in network performance over an extended period of time but a network wide roll out of some kind of tech
i think up_the_irons could probably investigate this and get back to us
bill, could you ride the NOCs of your other DCs hard and report back?
i have zero knowledge of how the core internet routers function other than the fact that they use bgp/bgmp, so i have no idea where to even look for info
we already ride them hard
200,000 requests/sec
(http)
no i mean talking to your upstream providers, at the NOC, and asking wtf the deal is with throughput
not your account manager, but actual NOC monkeys
gotcha, i think we have a ticket in for that
nice. /msg me what you hear?
lol at asking the noc monkeys
i'm in SF and doing 70k/s to theplanet in texas
crossing one major provider...
100k/s to singapore
heh
sounds fishy
singapore is usually around 300-400k/s from here or fremont
btw what are you guys serving? if you can say the site
fremont WA?
it's ad industry, not really interesting
ah
no, california
yea, not interesting
oh
anyway gotta bail toodles!
see ya, thanks
