up_the_ironsw00t, finally got SeaBIOS to display the "Press F12 for boot menu" stuff.. it is actually disabled by default in qemu (and the libvirt in Lucid does not have the option to enable it). LOL
time for a seabios PPA
default wait is 2.5 seconds for that too; who thinks of that?! I increased it to 15...

mnathaniI know it used to exist but was taken down due to spam

up_the_ironsmjp: oh man, spammers have come far in beating wikis' authentication.
mnathani: dang, i totally forgot to take that out of the topic. there _was_ a wiki, but got too much spam so i took it down.
[18:38]
mhoranI just disable wiki registration. Bam. [18:39]
up_the_ironsmercutio: indeed, i think i'm going to get a batch of RE4's, which have really good access times
mhoran: oh, and just create accounts for trusted users manually? i actually hadn't though of that...
*thought
[18:40]
mercutioup_the_irons: sweet
is it a mix atm?
[18:42]
up_the_ironsmercutio: mostly Hitachi
had some Seagate, but they broke a lot
[18:43]
mercutioahh what are hitachi like? [18:43]
up_the_ironsI have some RE3's, even one already failed
fml
[18:43]
mercutiore2s sucked
i don't know much about re3s
[18:44]
up_the_ironsmercutio: hitachi are decent. seagate died a lot, i didn't want WD b/c of price and also their TLER fiasco, so what is left? so i tried hitachi and they have worked out pretty good [18:44]
mercutioyeh it was about 2009 they stopped the TLER fix working i think [18:45]
kraiguI've never had any drive make not fail on me at some point. I just don't even try differntiating any more. :( [18:45]
mhoranup_the_irons: Yeah. [18:45]
kraiguI just try to not buy too many of the same model. [18:45]
mercutiothe seagate cheetah's are ok [18:45]
mhoranup_the_irons: Works great. :) [18:45]
mercutiobut i don't really trust 7200.7 to 7200.12 [18:45]
mhoranIn not working great news, the ALSA bug tracker has been down for weeks. [18:45]
mercutioi can't remember sata/ide disks before that [18:46]
mhoranNobody seems to care.
Also, nobody at Debian seems to want to answer my bug reports. :(
[18:46]
mercutioalsa bug tracker is never up to date anyway
well it wasn't years back at least
i don't imagine it's changed
[18:46]
mhoranYeah.
Pretty frustrating.
[18:46]
mercutioi ported my own sound card driver from netbsd to openbsd once
and i was reading more about sound card stuff back then
(cmi8738)
those cards used to be the only ones with digital output that were cheap
and easily available
[18:46]
up_the_ironsnice [18:47]
mercutiobut the openbsd driver didn't support digital output [18:47]
mhoranHmm. I wonder if FreeBSD supports HDMI audio properly. I'd switch to that.
Oh it does. Hmm.
[18:47]
mercutiomhoran: most motherboards have onboard sp/dif now [18:48]
mhoranI prefer HDMI audio, since it can do 7 channel PCM, and also requires only one cable. [18:48]
mercutiooh yip [18:49]
mhoranBut yes, it does have S/PDIF out. [18:49]
mercutioi'm doing two channel audio
i only have two ears
[18:49]
mhoranYeah. My rear speakers are in a place that I can't hear them anyway. [18:49]
up_the_ironsmhoran: thanks for that tip, i'm putting "get the wiki back up" on the near todo list :) [18:49]
mhoranNice! [18:49]
mercutioout of curiousity does anyone know how to seperate subwoofer output?
i wanted to try using my bass amp as a subwoofer
as it has a 15" speaker
[18:50]
mhoranNeed something to cut off the low frequencies, look up where your speakers cut out and then get the components to split off those frequencies. [18:51]
mercutiowell it's an amp too
so i need at at the line stage
[18:51]
mhoranOh. my receiver just has line out for subwoofer.
And that comes from the .1 channel on the source.
[18:52]
mercutioyeah i don't have it on mine
i was wondering if sound card could do it
[18:52]
mhoranYou might still be able to do something similar.
Sound card could probably do it.
[18:52]
up_the_ironsmercutio: look for a low pass filter [18:58]
finkmhoran: a crossover? [19:05]
up_the_ironsi'm installing my first CentOS 6.3 system on a dedicated server... Just so I can have something to upgrade the RAID firmware. Why CentOS? It was in the virtual drive... and I figure, might as well get experience with this so I can start offering it as a "template" install
it haz graphikz
gui installz!
[19:07]
finkcool
is it shiny?
[19:10]
up_the_ironsnot cool
;)
i forgot to add "text" param
oh well, it's interface is pleasing enough
[19:10]
mjpmhoran/up_the_irons: exactly..i was thinking auth for customers only using their existing creds, though im sure people dont want this as an attact vector for bad people to brute force accounts here [19:10]
up_the_ironsmjp: i'm just gonna make auth's for those who want access; it's not many, but some do
LOL, CentOS's boot after install has a graphical progress bar
[19:13]
mhoranWow. [19:14]
***HighJinx has quit IRC (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.) [19:14]
up_the_ironswhere do you set networking in cent... [19:17]
mercutioisn't it like /etc/sysconfig or someting?
like /etc/sysconfig/network/if-eth0 ?
[19:17]
jpalmerz/etc/syscofig/network-scripts/* [19:17]
mercutiojpalmer is probably right :)
it's been years
[19:18]
up_the_ironsthanks :) [19:18]
mhoranUgh. CentOS.
Worst.
[19:19]
up_the_ironslol
mhoran: i gotta say, yum is pretty snazzy in how it picks the fastest mirror...
fastest / closest
[19:22]
mhoranNoo. When you're deploying to 25 servers and they all have to yum update every time you try to install a package and they run fastest mirror and it takes 15 minutes ... [19:23]
up_the_ironsjpalmerz: can one see which mirror yum is using? i just did "yum install wget" and while everything worked fine, i don't know which mirror it used and it would be cool if i could see it be mine ;) [19:23]
mhoranI don't like that there's no apt-get update equivalent. [19:23]
up_the_ironsmhoran: lol, o'rly? hah [19:23]
mhoranOr, rather, you can apt-get install something, without updating.
You can't do that with yum, AFAIK.
[19:23]
up_the_ironsmhoran: the equiv would probably be download the .rpm and 'rpm -Uvh <foo>' [19:24]
mhoranYeah.
Oh one cool thing you can do is rpm -i <url>
[19:24]
jpalmerzup_the_irons: the first time you use it, no. it'll be cached. if you 'yum clean all' it'll check again and tell you. [19:24]
up_the_ironsjpalmerz: ah ok
mhoran: yeah, that is neat
[19:26]
jpalmerzup_the_irons: what ya doing with Cent? [19:27]
up_the_ironsjpalmerz: just upgrading the raid firmware on this new box... it had cent already in the virtual media, so i figured what the hell.. i wanna make centos templates anyway (so we go from "install it yourself" to "officially supported, clicky-click on the order form")
so i figured i should practice :)
[19:28]
jpalmerzhehe
cool
[19:29]
jdoemhoran: that's not the problem with centos.
the problem with centos is when you have 25 servers running centos 5.
and want to upgrade to centos 6.
"I'm supposed to reinstall? Are you fucking kidding me?"
[19:35]
jpalmerzjdoe: that's easy to fix/address.
puppet. re-provision an identical host in minutes :)
jdoe: like many other OS's, major upgrades are possible, but not officially supported (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc etc)
[19:39]
***HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks [19:41]
kraiguexcept in a decade I've never had a problem with make buildworld/installworld ;) [19:41]
jpalmerzand many people don't. it's still not officially supported. many people have upgraded CentOS5 to CentOS6. it's just not officially supported. [19:42]
milkiwhoa, you grew a z
o.O
[19:42]
jpalmerzonly until my vps works again :P [19:42]
milkilol [19:42]
finkjpalmerz: what's the allure of linux over freebsd, for you? [19:44]
jpalmerzallure? none. I work for a company that uses CentOS.
jpalmerz much prefers fbsd
[19:45]
milkii know how to use linux as a desktop, but not fbsd >.> [19:45]
kraiguwhat's to know? [19:46]
milkihow to get audio working
and uh
[19:46]
jdoejpalmerz: major upgrades on freebsd *are* supported. [19:46]
milkiprobably thats it -.- [19:46]
***gcw|mbpro has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [19:46]
jdoeand the point is moot, I don't want something that may work, sorta, I want something that *does* work :P [19:47]
jpalmerzjdoe: major upgrades on freebsd have *never* been supported. and unless that changed after 7.x, they still aren't. [19:47]
kraigumilki: isn't that covered in the Handbook? it used to be.
(I switched to Macs for my desktops about 8 years ago)
[19:47]
milkii can get audio sounds
but no quality -.-
it degrades and degrades
[19:47]
mercutiomhoran: pkg_add has http support too [19:48]
kraiguoh, that sucks. [19:48]
mercutiomilk: get another sound card
they're cheap now
[19:49]
milkibut the sound card works fine in linux -.- [19:49]
mercutiocos onboard is so good [19:49]
finkmercutio: they've been overcharging us for years??? [19:51]
***HighJinx has quit IRC (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.) [19:51]
mercutiofink: on what? [19:51]
finkmercutio: the sound cards, as you said [19:52]
mercutiooh umm
i dunno
i've bought 3 sound cards in the last 15 years.
i think one was $40, the other $60, the other $50.
NZD that is
which is worth slightly less than USD
but like two of them were yeras back
the other one was second hard
hand
it was like $50 for X-Fi creative
maybe itw as less actually
but that was so that I could do low latency
the other two were cheap cmi8738 chipsets that had digital output
the more expensive one had 6 channel support, the cheaper one 4 channel supprot
[19:52]
jpalmerzjdoe: I stand corrected. it looks like major version upgrades are supported now. I know they definately werent in 3->4 or 4-> whichever one it was where they changed the /dev stuff [19:54]
mercutioi didn't want 6 channel support, but it's all i could get at the time, and i needed digital output at home and at work
cmi8738 based cards ar efine though
[19:54]
jdoejpalmerz: I don't know about that far back, but they were supported pre-7.x too. The buildworld route has been in the handbook for a long time. [19:54]
mercutiohttp://www.ebay.com/itm/5-1-Surround-Sound-PC-Card-CMI8738-Game-Midi-Port-/230837419793?pt=US_Sound_Cards_Internal_&hash=item35befb7f11 [19:55]
jdoeand 7.x had freebsd-update [19:55]
kraigujdoe: I've been using that method since 4.2 [19:55]
jdoeI THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T TALKING TO ME, BITCH. [19:55]
kraiguthat's elsewhere! [19:55]
jpalmerzjdoe: the buildworld *method* has worked since 3.x, that does *not* mean it was officially supported by the project. :) [19:55]
jdoebut my point remains, centos sucks ;) [19:55]
kraigujpalmerz: I'm pretty sure it was when I started using it, shrug. [19:56]

finkcan i get my freaking arpnetworks tshirt now??? [19:57]
abletony84i saw two words
openbsd and sinatra
i immediately knew arp networks is where i belong
[19:57]
jdoe... lol [19:58]
abletony84make that three words: los angeles [19:59]
jpalmerzthat is 4. :P
the 5th word you need to know, is 'sarcasm' hehe
[19:59]
abletony84hehe [20:00]
jpalmerzmnathani: looks like kvr02 works fine for that stuff we were doing yesterday [20:00]
abletony84Hey how do I know ARP Networks won't pry into my VPS and steal all my source code? [20:04]
finkabletony84: they won't, but i might [20:05]
jpalmerzWell, technically you don't. but, you've got some longtime customers here who'd be willing to vouch for them. For whatever that's worth.
but technically, you don't know that any service provider wouldn't. at some point you just have to trust someone. :)
[20:05]
finkcould you encrypt your disk? [20:06]
abletony84true that jpalmerz [20:07]
jdoesure, but what would that get you? :P [20:07]
jpalmerzfink, it'd have to be decrypted to mount. your provider could just wait until it's mounted to snoop [20:07]
abletony84fink: yeah i guess i could [20:07]
finkjpalmerz: the bastards [20:07]
abletony84hehe [20:07]
jpalmerzit's that damned cloud, I tell ya! [20:08]
abletony84dont their terms or acceptable use policy mention something about this though?
it only seems to talk about what users can't do, not what arp itself can't do
[20:08]
jpalmerzabletony84: arp is reliable. they are trustworthy. I have several git repo's hosted on arp vps's.
but as with anything, you have to guage *your* trust level with them.
[20:14]
abletony84hmmmm
they certainly look more trustworthy than any other provider i've ever come across
just taking precautions thats all
[20:15]
jpalmerzunderstandable.
I just want to make sure you're aware.. whether it's arp, or someone else (github or whatnot) you eventually *do* have to simply trust that the provider isn't going to be malicious.
[20:15]
mnathanijpalmerz: glad to hear. I would like to hear up_the_irons explanation for all those errors though. My guess is memory related / swap related on the actual host [20:18]
jpalmerzmnathani: I dunno. I'm just glad to finally have it fully working, on the first try :)
mnathani: thanks for your help last night though. REALLY appreciated it. I was going crazy. lol
[20:18]
mnathanimaybe you can give me a pointer or two on puppet when you get going.. [20:21]
jpalmerzmnathani: sure thing. I don't pretend to be a guru or anything, but I'm probably capable of helping steer you in the right direction. [20:21]

Webhostbuddyou guys allow cifs traffic right? [20:39]
jpalmerWebhostbudd: AFAIK, the only filtering they have, is to prevent bruteforce ssh attacks. [20:45]
Webhostbuddfigures [20:45]
jpalmercustomers get their own unfiltered VLANS, if you have multiple vps's. so, you could definately do cifs there. [20:45]
Webhostbuddim pretty sure i had a CIFS share here before actually
biting myself for going with some real cheap garbage to try and flash my dedicated server
when they end up filtering cifs
