ryk: is there a delay in the time period wherein i submit my ssh pubkey, and can ssh into the console server?
i worded that rather clunkily but i get you get the idea.
meingtsla: AFAIK it should work instantaneously.
Make sure it's formatted correctly, other than that dunno
ryk: Lefty: yello :)
-: Lefty waves to ryk
ryk: ah it was just a typo in my login name.
meingtsla: Easily fixed
-: qbit_ waves to all thebros
ryk: oh it really is openbsd 4.7. thought it might have been 5.1
qbit_: they have a 5.1 iso on hand for re-instal l:D
ryk: trying to decide if it's worth the wait or if i should just upgrade.
qbit_: if you do upgrade .. make sure you config -e -f /bsd
and disable mpbios
ryk: what does that device represent?
ah found it
qbit_: multi processor system
ryk: driver for extracting info from inteo SMP systems
*intel
qbit_: aye
ryk: up_the_irons: is it too much trouble to mount the openbsd 5.1 installer iso?
up_the_irons: ryk: no, pm me your vps uuid

jpalmer: I'm going to have to drop bluehost. everytime I ask them about ipv6, they tell me the same thing.
"We'll support it when we run out of addresses"
dreamhost is $2/mo more expensive, but has it.

ryk: jpalmer: respectuflly
they are both horrible choices
dreamhost just had a major hack again this spring
jdoe: meh.
ryk: they seem get hacked yearly.
jdoe: who hasn't? :P
ryk: westhost has not.
jdoe: that you know of :P
ryk: well
they haven't asked me to reset my passwords
that's more than you can say for dreamhost
jdoe: I'd rather hear about getting compromised than not (but still get compromised)
ryk: the thing is
jdoe: secure shared hosting is ... tough :P
ryk: these hosts all store your passwords in cleartext in a mysql db
so if that has been compromised
it's in their best interest to have you rset them
so that the attackers don't run wild with accounts on their systems.
jpalmer: ryk: oh, I know they aren't great. but, I don't need a vps or anything at this point.
ryk: jpalmer: i understand.
westhost and hostgator are shared hosting companies that have much better reputation than {blue,dream}host
jpalmer: ryk: and with lastpass.com, I don't really care if my password gets compromised :P I don't use the same password in 2 places. hehe
do either have ipv6?
ryk: it sucks when your account gets locked out though, or some mysterious javascript shows up at the bottom of your web pages
as i understand it, cPanel doesn't yet support ipv6, so probably no shared host is going to
jpalmer: dreamhost and squarespace do.
ryk: dreamhost has a homegrown control panel
that is riddled with security holes
but that is good for squarespace.
jpalmer: so you're not an arpnetworks customer?
jpalmer: I am
I use the vps for other things, and it changes frequently enough, that I don't particularly want to run websites on it. (my 2 personal vps's are essentially remote test machines)
ryk: yeah. i have one production vps that i don't touch
soon to be two
jpalmer: I dunno. I guess I could run the sites on one of them. might be an option..

ryk: does arpnetworks offer snapshots?
as in, say i was about to upgrade the OS, can you snap it for me in case it goes fubar
jlgaddis: no
but that's probably a feature i'd pay for, up_the_irons
-: up_the_irons switches to this window
ryk: $5 per snap
or something
up_the_irons: just providing snapshots (w/o remote backup), is probably something that would be relatively straightforward to do
do other providers charge for snapshots?
i was under the impression they don't...
ryk: linode just counts it against your storage space
prgmr doesn't offer it
but linode gives you 20G on the small plan so you can do that. not so easy on a smaller instance
i was thinking along the lines of, $5 for your manual labor.
up_the_irons: but isn't linode's small plan 20G in the first place? (so i u wanted to snap the whole thing, it would be 40G in total?)
ryk: ooooooooooooooooh!
ryk: :)
ryk: up_the_irons: with linode you get a bucket of storage space, but you don't have to use it all
you're making smaller partitions basically
their panel is able to keep track of how big your partitions are
and thus how much storage space you're using.
up_the_irons: ryk: $5 for "lvcreate -s -L<size> <your-vol>", but $15 if you actually need to restore that if things go fubar (cuz restoring from the snap is a lot more steps)
ryk: i'm not sure where they save the snaps, possibly somewhere else
up_the_irons: ryk: ah ok, interesting
ryk: but the panel also calculates the storage space used by those and substracts it from your total.
so yeah the small isntance i was referring to would be what we have here.
up_the_irons: i c
ryk: with a 10
with a 10G instance
i could try to run the OS at 5G and emulate it
but i want all my 10G :)
up_the_irons: right
ryk: with prgmr he would be like, "tar everything up and ssh it to somewhere else, then if you fubar it, boot to the CentOS rescue image, mount the disk, and pull your image back down"
up_the_irons: i'm sure anyone with a broken server would pay $15 to get it up and running again, albeit a bit begrudgingly
up_the_irons: ryk: hah, yeah
