up_the_irons: thanks jpalmer: np! have you got a spare machine around that is kvm capable, and you don't mind attaching to my puppet infra? (It doesn't have to be one of your beefy normal hosts) actually, I know you are busy doing support stuff. we can discuss later jpalmer: i do not have a spare machine at the moment. however, when i get my microcloud chassis in (8x servers in 3U :) I'll have some spare machines! i don't know when that chassis will go in though, i got so many parallel tasks going on right now, it's crazy! hehe no worries. I'd be starting with CentOS anyway. we can have you do all that when I get the ubuntu side of things going pinkus: you're up late/early :) up_the_irons: night shift as usual :) do you mirror centOS for any reason? do you prefer it as a server OS over Debian? pinkus: i don't remember why i picked CentOS to mirror first... maybe jpalmer poked me enough. i prefer ubuntu actually centos is smaller? mercutio: all the mirrors are pretty large, including centos ahh ubuntu is huge openbsd would be smaller... i've been using ftp5.usa.openbsd.org dunno wehre it is oh looks like palo alto and isc, prob no need for an openbsd mirror :) mercutio: switch to mirrors.arpnetworks.com :) much faster:) apparently openbsd needs 360gb probably for all architectuces oh you have one? maybe you should do an all users email? Just mirroring ubuntu could justify that 100 54.1M 100 54.1M 0 0 9556k 0 0:00:05 0:00:05 --:--:-- 10.0M nice :) well i'm not going to complain about atht :) is this a world mirror or just arpnetworks? the regional ubuntu mirror here got out of date :( and the other regional one seemed to drop and start pointing to the UK ie canonical well it seems world mercutio: it's a world mirror sweet :) the regional ones here like to rate limit to world i dunno who i need to bug... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/mirrors.arpnetworks.com-archive that still says "pending" for like a month... hmm yeh i wouldn't know either "Hey, someone I know is looking for an engineer to run his datacentre. Keen on having a chat with him?" what does... run a datacentre actually mean :/ like plugging/unplugging boxes or logistical things etc i said yes, but i hate datacentres themeslves noisy ugly places mercutio: rack, stack, and cable things; manage the network; run x-conn's; etc... yeh i thought as much i think i just said that i'd chat with him cos he said that came with a car and i need a new car :/ i should check the software/hardware thing .. which side it is :)
