| up_the_irons | Webhostbudd: supermicro, yeah | [00:00] |
| Webhostbudd | you could be if enough people ordered =p
up_the_irons: do the dedi's have ipmi on the board? | [00:00] |
| up_the_irons | Webhostbudd: certainly | [00:01] |
| Webhostbudd | nice | [00:01] |
| up_the_irons | we have a customer VPN set up now too (OpenVPN), to access IPMI cards | [00:01] |
| Webhostbudd | so jealous
i doubt i could afford you guys though =( but the vpn access is awesome, that's one thing i really dislike about my current dedi they have it hosted on the public internet | [00:01] |
| up_the_irons | mnathani: no, we're not really equiped to cancel accounts then turn around right away and recreate them, at a loss.
Webhostbudd: lol, really? haha, there's a hack waiting to happen | [00:03] |
| Webhostbudd | yea, i've been hacking together some rudimentary security with iptables scripts on the nvram
it's really not ideal though the company i'm with is sketchy at best, but they have uptime | [00:04] |
| up_the_irons | Webhostbudd: what is the current dedi deal you are getting? maybe i can match it (doubt it if it is crazy low, but let's see...) | [00:05] |
| Webhostbudd | e3-1230 v2 with 16GB ram and 2x1TB disks for $115 | [00:05] |
| *** | HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks | [00:05] |
| up_the_irons | Webhostbudd dang, good deal | [00:05] |
| Webhostbudd | and a 100mb line which is unmetered, although unmetered isn't a dealbreaker for me
as long as the box runs, the place is alright. But god forbid you need support or want to do anything outside of your own box, it is pretty awful luckily after they fixed the bad sticks of ram in the box and enabled ipmi i haven't had to worry much since you guys use supermicro ipmi on a private lan, do you also have a read-only cifs share on it for iso's? that would be awesome | [00:05] |
| up_the_irons | Webhostbudd: yes, we do. not cifs, but on a plain ol' samba share. IPMI mounts it as virtual media. you can install anything you like. | [00:08] |
| Webhostbudd | yea | [00:09] |
| *** | irons|xchat has joined #arpnetworks | [00:09] |
| Webhostbudd | see, with my current host it has pretty much been, grab the cheapest vps possible to host the samba share for the image
i guess that is what you get for the price :) | [00:10] |
| up_the_irons | Webhostbudd: so they host the samba share on a cheap vps? LOL. our samba share is actually on the high perf mirrors.arpnetworks.com box, so it is made for file serving. | [00:12] |
| Webhostbudd | no no
i host it =p they don't even do anything it's a freaking dance on my end just to get this stuff working a little entertaining having to pivot around though | [00:12] |
| up_the_irons | lol
Webhostbudd: you comfortable with OpenVPN? | [00:15] |
| Webhostbudd | definitely | [00:15] |
| up_the_irons | if so, you should have no problem getting set up on ours, accessing IPMI, virtual media, etc... | [00:16] |
| Webhostbudd | openvpn is awesome
most of what i do with it is site-to-site anymore but i do have it on my client machines for bacula backups at any rate the service you guys offer sounds pretty nice out of curiosity is there a public dedicated server page on arpnetworks.com yet? | [00:16] |
| up_the_irons | Webhostbudd: there isn't yet; my work with it has more been through email and ppl telling me what they want. i am learning about the whole dedi business as well, so when I get the new page up, it'll be more refined. already have learned that 2x drives could become 4x easily, and some want RAID. So that blows away my microcloud chassis, but at least the 1U's are easy to build :) | [00:19] |
| Webhostbudd | ahhh | [00:20] |
| up_the_irons | wtf is this lag about...
64.7 ...and now it fixes itself | [00:28] |
| Webhostbudd | weird | [00:31] |
| up_the_irons | jpalmer: is the default CentOS 6.3 install a minimal one (+ SSH and the basics)? When I used the GUI installer, it didn't really ask me anything about package selection. When i logged in for the first time, 'yum list' (or w/e) had a lot of X11 packages, is that normal? | [00:36] |
| mercutio | one issue with using cifs with those ipmi things is they tend to have terrible speeds if you're far away
so it is better to be able to host locally i mean it was pretty crazy slow from texas to chicago | [00:41] |
| Webhostbudd | mercutio: i was actually able to find cheap vps's hosted in the same datacenter
or very close <1ms ping | [00:42] |
| mercutio | web: would help :)
i don't even remember what chicago to texas pigns are like | [00:42] |
| Webhostbudd | cifs is very talkative so latency kills it | [00:42] |
| mercutio | i can do cifs over adsl for some stuff but not others
it can depend on the application (that's with 10 msec ping) | [00:42] |
| Webhostbudd | interesting | [00:42] |
| mercutio | texas to chicago is about 20 msec
so yeah it's not very latency tolerant at all | [00:43] |
| up_the_irons | dang, more lag... | [00:43] |
| mercutio | i thought it was just the window sizes in the client though | [00:43] |
| up_the_irons | good thing i have xchat open in another window | [00:43] |
| mercutio | that was to isntall opensolaris
no-one has opensolaris as an install option on dedicateds :/ | [00:43] |
| Webhostbudd | opensolaris is dead.....
now, if you said oi or smartos | [00:44] |
| mercutio | this was a few yeras back | [00:44] |
| Webhostbudd | oh
well, ovh has oi and smartos on their dedi's | [00:44] |
| mercutio | 7:59pm up 673 day(s), 20 min(s), 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.00, 0.00 | [00:44] |
| Webhostbudd | then again they image nearly everything because they are such a large operation | [00:44] |
| mercutio | it was about that long ago
oh it was longer ago than that acutally there wsa an outage | [00:44] |
| Webhostbudd | damn, is that actually an opensol box? | [00:45] |
| mercutio | yeh | [00:45] |
| Webhostbudd | impressive | [00:45] |
| mercutio | how so? | [00:45] |
| Webhostbudd | i dunno, i'm not usually one to have more than 180 days uptime | [00:45] |
| mercutio | why do you reboot? | [00:45] |
| Webhostbudd | operating system updates | [00:46] |
| mercutio | SunOS zone6 5.11 snv_134 i86pc i386 i86xpv
there hasn't been any opensolaris updates since then | [00:46] |
| Webhostbudd | exactly | [00:46] |
| mercutio | heh
but yeah | [00:46] |
| Webhostbudd | OI is pretty good from what i hear | [00:46] |
| mercutio | i've never had any stability issues with it
well it's got zfs it's running xen you can snapshot virtual machines and send them across the world | [00:46] |
| Webhostbudd | yea, it's pretty awesome | [00:47] |
| mercutio | and in essence more a virtual server around the world with very short downtime | [00:47] |
| Webhostbudd | I'm excited to see where smartos goes | [00:47] |
| mercutio | basically.. you snapshot, send the data, snapshot, send the updated data, shutdown, snapshot again send the updated down, bring up | [00:47] |
| Webhostbudd | yep | [00:48] |
| mercutio | that's assuming the first send is done without paying attention to how long it takes at all
ie in the backgrund | [00:48] |
| Webhostbudd | mhmmm | [00:48] |
| mercutio | so the first one takes forever depending on your net speed
the second one is pretty quick the third one is really quick | [00:48] |
| Webhostbudd | of course | [00:48] |
| mercutio | yeh, smartos is intersting | [00:48] |
| Webhostbudd | i like that they have kvm up and running on the illumos kernel | [00:49] |
| mercutio | tbh, i'm really confused about what makes sense with virtualisation these days
i like that too but i'd rather not have to use vnc... i much prefer xm console | [00:49] |
| Webhostbudd | I'm sure spice could be easily ported | [00:49] |
| mercutio | so that's one issue
i've done kvm on openindiana with windows | [00:49] |
| Webhostbudd | bad? | [00:50] |
| mercutio | well
it takes a hile to figure out how to install virtio drivers in windows while i've done windows in esxi before too and it's less confusing also there's like no management interface or anything in openindiana | [00:50] |
| Webhostbudd | well, vmware straight up gives you installers | [00:50] |
| mercutio | meaning you have to figure out things like to set the mouse to a tablet thingy | [00:50] |
| Webhostbudd | yes, that is a big problem | [00:50] |
| mercutio | (that's one of the things that irked me ) | [00:51] |
| Webhostbudd | but if you had libvirt on openindiana i think it could be viable | [00:51] |
| mercutio | hmm
the other thing is about how it allocates ports for vnc is there some standard way? | [00:51] |
| Webhostbudd | 5900+2
im pretty sure? | [00:52] |
| mercutio | i think in the end I used ssh -C -X
i think it's on localhost by default? | [00:52] |
| Webhostbudd | it should listen on all ports by default | [00:52] |
| mercutio | how does it increment?
oh? well i can't really remember but i prefer hostname and xm console blah also | [00:52] |
| Webhostbudd | well, see, i'm used to spice which needs two ports | [00:52] |
| mercutio | that debug screen with alt-1 | [00:53] |
| Webhostbudd | so it increments by 2 | [00:53] |
| mercutio | or wahtever it was was curious | [00:53] |
| Webhostbudd | but vnc might now
not* | [00:53] |
| mercutio | but like it's a pita to eject cdrom | [00:53] |
| Webhostbudd | oh | [00:53] |
| mercutio | in xen you can just do attach-disk | [00:53] |
| Webhostbudd | im used to handling that stuff with libvirt | [00:53] |
| mercutio | you can do mem-set and change the amount of memory etc
so i still prefer xen myself :) from a "having to maintain it myself" pov what i liek about kvm is it allows me to run openbsd openbsd doesn't run that great under esxi or xen hvm | [00:53] |
| Webhostbudd | yea, bsd's in general don't run well under xen or vmware
although freebsd 9 has the dom0 kernel for xen pv | [00:54] |
| mercutio | netbsd has domu
i installed it a while back at home i have openindiana/xen at home | [00:55] |
| Webhostbudd | k | [00:55] |
| mercutio | that's the other prob with kvm
iot doesn't work on older cpus like core2duos | [00:55] |
| Webhostbudd | maybe not on openindiana
it should work fine on linux | [00:55] |
| mercutio | yeh
mm yeh i'm wondering if i should use linux but mostly just cos i want to make that box quieter and i figure that linux will be better at shutting down the disks... | [00:56] |
| Webhostbudd | yes | [00:56] |
| mercutio | i could run openindiana in kvm?
on linux? | [00:56] |
| Webhostbudd | i would think so | [00:56] |
| mercutio | or xen i suppsoe | [00:56] |
| Webhostbudd | i've never tried OI on kvm
kvm runs almost anything though i haven't had anything break in kvm | [00:56] |
| mercutio | and then psas through the ethernet card | [00:57] |
| Webhostbudd | try it | [00:57] |
| mercutio | yeah
i have to upgrade it first :/ | [00:57] |
| Webhostbudd | heck, if you want an easy kvm solution try proxmoxve | [00:57] |
| mercutio | to sommething that'll do vt-d | [00:57] |
| Webhostbudd | they do a pretty good job | [00:57] |
| mercutio | well i mostly just want a file server
with some virtual hosts running on it solaris makes a good file server | [00:57] |
| Webhostbudd | yes it does | [00:57] |
| mercutio | iscsi is stable | [00:58] |
| Webhostbudd | linux doesn't unfortunately | [00:58] |
| mercutio | nfs is stable
and cifs is stable linux it's like iscsi.. uhh.. nfs.. uhh... cifs... oh cifs works on linux!!!! | [00:58] |
| Webhostbudd | nfs has been fine in my experience
i never really deal with iscsi | [00:58] |
| mercutio | nfs has been screwy in my experience
although right now i've been having issues with netbsd and nfs i think it's something to do with not being able to do large mtu in xen and having a native high mtu | [00:58] |
| up_the_irons | mercutio: you like iscsi? i've been thinking about doing some experiments with it... | [01:00] |
| mercutio | the whole multiple mtu's thing on the same network is kind of scary though
up_the_irons: uhh, i /kind/ of liek it. basically - it completely depends on what you're using it for. on windows i compared performacne of local disk versus remote disk and iscsi and the speed was basically the same gigabit link speed fast single sata disk. mostly testing games etc :/ but | [01:00] |
| Webhostbudd | yea, but you are completely saturating gigabit with single disk speed | [01:01] |
| up_the_irons | i c | [01:01] |
| mercutio | where iscsi breaks down is if you want to access the same data from multiple hosts
or if you want to match up id's to volumes it starts getting confusing. tbh if you're looking at redundancy for remote storage external sas is simpler. basically you can have two hsots each access the same san with short cables. | [01:01] |
| Webhostbudd | ick | [01:02] |
| mercutio | and mount the volume on the second host
if the first host has issues webhost - mm, kind of webhost: you'd be amazed at how much random dat there is one of my "ideas" that isn't likely to go anywhere, is i thought it'd be cool to have an iscsi server that keeps track of requests, and does ssd caching or ssd/ram caching | [01:02] |
| up_the_irons | mercutio: yeah but what do you export the external sas with? | [01:03] |
| mercutio | but also has the ability to use a "spare" disk or such, to do big sequential dumps
up: umm SAN has built in "exporting" i mean those external disk enclosures i dunno about sas, but i know opensolaris can act as a fibre channel san but computers are generlaly less reliable and that's just another point of failure mind you disk enclosures will generally limit disk speeds versus a real computer err burst speeds up_the_irons: anyway, if you want to do expermients with it windows has built in iscsi client and opensolaris is real easy to setup iscsi server on linux is probably not too difficult | [01:03] |
| up_the_irons | i might play around with opensolaris and iscsi then... | [01:07] |
| Webhostbudd | i wonder how freebsd handles iscsi | [01:07] |
| mercutio | gah windows changed my drive letter :/ | [01:07] |
| Webhostbudd | i mean, im pretty sure if you are using zfs it is painless | [01:08] |
| mercutio | i didn't have it mounted
what's a good test for speed? many files or lage files? | [01:08] |
| Webhostbudd | both
large files will perform better over a network though in generally really | [01:08] |
| mercutio | is starcraft a good test? | [01:09] |
| Webhostbudd | the iso for starcraft? | [01:09] |
| mercutio | oh humm it's going a bit slow
nah the installed game it's from ssd source oh now it sped up http://postimage.org/image/tjb0z6ifx/ fwiw it appaers window isn't flushing the cache it was going 250mb/sec for a while actually that's probably why it was going slow for a while and yeah ssd for source so it could easily burst read speed up at the start but it is a hard-disk as destination.. err seagate 3 tb it's also large mtu 6k | [01:10] |

up_the_irons: in centos6 installer, if you are using the GUI, there is a screen that asks you what installation type you want, and offers to let you add/modify the repos it installs. one of the options is something like "Base" or "minimum" or something along those lines up_the_irons: if you do that, you'll probably want to make sure you yum install openssh-clients for the users. otherwise they don't get things like scp and such. | [07:58] |

| jpalmer | jpalmer found a pam module for authenticating off of google apps. it works with googles 2 factor auth.
oh, twobitha1ker mentioned it above. nevermind :P (late to the party as always) | [15:53] |
| *** | Webhostbudd has joined #arpnetworks | [15:54] |
| DaCa | DaCa rather prefers to avoid pam when possible
the same goes for google :p but I must admit googles 2 factor auth is rather neat | [15:55] |
| Webhostbudd | the google authenticator is a good concept
i mean, yubikeys would be much better if they supported a numerous amount of keys the nice thing about yubikeys is how rugged they are and being its own hardware platform does make it more secure | [15:59] |
| jdoe | uh
does it? tell that to people using rsa's fobs :P | [16:01] |
| up_the_irons | lol | [16:01] |
| Webhostbudd | that's a different story | [16:01] |
| jdoe | go on.
haha. | [16:01] |
| Webhostbudd | if they had the same software implementation*
yubico could be broken into, and so could google..... it's bad for anybody | [16:01] |
| jdoe | well it's not really.
the issue with RSA is that they kept the seed. | [16:02] |
| Webhostbudd | yes, that is a major problem | [16:02] |
| jdoe | ... so when that DB was compromised, you could clone arbitrary fobs.
the google authenticator *doesn't* have that problem. (no idea about yubiwhatevers) | [16:02] |
| Webhostbudd | neither does the yubikey
each yubikey uses a randomly generated aes key and technically you can change it yourself with their utility | [16:02] |
| DaCa | you can generate your own key on the yubikey and choose to not upload it to yubico | [16:03] |
| Webhostbudd | mhmmmm
well, it's not so much a choose not to upload, but you can't upload once it is changed you can no longer operate through them | [16:03] |
| DaCa | you can | [16:04] |
| Webhostbudd | since when?
i didn't think they would add new keys to their database | [16:04] |
| andol | http://www.yubico.com/aes-key-upload | [16:04] |
| Webhostbudd | is this new?
relatively new* they definitely didn't have this two years ago | [16:04] |
| andol | Been a availible for a while, but I also remember a time when it wasn't.
(Afraid my memory isn't more exact than that.) | [16:05] |
| DaCa | jdoe: the problem with google auth is that it requires a smartphone
a smartphone is a computer you don't control | [16:09] |
| kraigu | or it's just a trinket you'd rather not be bothered with ;) | [16:10] |
| DaCa | if I would be a malware writer, the google auth app would be my first choice to attack | [16:10] |
| jdoe | heh, it would have to be awfully targetted.
since on its own, it's just an rng. there's no requirement (or reason) for it to have any identifying information about what it's for. | [16:12] |
| DaCa | the private sha1 key (which is used for the OATH-TOTP auth, which is how google 2 factor auth works) is stored on your smartphone, that's the weak link | [16:15] |

| andol | DaCa: Yeah, running the Google Auth app on your Smartphone is probably not as secure as $indepedant_device, but on the other hand in most cassed password+google_auth is a big improvement compared just password, and being available as a Smartphone app makes more people likely to use it. | [16:18] |
| DaCa | andol: I agree completely, it is only my paranoia level which is a bit higher than the average user :) | [16:21] |
| jpalmer | DaCa: you mean, your password isn't "sex" for everything, including bank info? | [16:22] |
| kraigu | jpalmer: mine is "God" | [16:23] |
| DaCa | :) | [16:23] |
| kraigu | brb changing password | [16:23] |
| jpalmer | jpalmer thinks.. now I just need to social engineer kraigu's IP's away from him, and I'll be famous like mitnick! | [16:24] |
| DaCa | Goddess? | [16:24] |
| jdoe | DaCa: ... right, but from haxing the phone alone, you have no idea what the key is for. | [16:25] |
| DaCa | jdoe: chances are high it is for gmail if you are using that, and well, access to your email is absoletely your weakest link
think password resets | [16:27] |
| kraigu | jpalmer: haha. um, well, I have a /29 with ARP, a single IP at home from my ISP, and a /16 at work
jpalmer: good luck with that :D | [16:28] |
| jdoe | DaCa: think ssh, I'm not talking about email. (And even if I was, there's nothing to link the key to a specific gmail account either) | [16:30] |
| DaCa | jdoe: ok, if you only use google auth for ssh, and don't ssh from your phone, and leave no traces about the ssh account on the phone, which I think is already a good amount of discipline.... | [16:33] |
| jdoe | ... so like I said, "It would have to be awfully targeted" (oops, spelling...) | [16:36] |
| DaCa | I am not convinced you have to be targetted, computing power is cheap, network is cheap, malware will combine multiple sources of info and try until it hits something
anyway, I am in Europe, hitting hay, good night everyone | [16:38] |
| up_the_irons | This won't be ready for a few days, but I'm taking requests for beta VMs on a newer VM host model (newer KVM/QEMU, different VM BIOS (SeaBIOS), updated and lower power hardware [AMD instead of Intel], etc...) | [16:42] |
| jpalmer | up_the_irons: how do we announce our interest? | [16:43] |
| kraigu | jpalmer: COLD HARD CASH | [16:43] |
| jpalmer | hehe it's like apple! pay for betas! | [16:43] |
| up_the_irons | Requirements: 1) You need to already have an available IP for the beta VM, I won't provision additional blocks, 2) I need OpenBSD testers the most, 3) CentOS 6.x testers also needed | [16:43] |
| kraigu | MS does it too | [16:43] |
| up_the_irons | jpalmer: just tell me :) | [16:44] |
| jpalmer | up_the_irons: I'll test CentOS 6 ;) | [16:44] |
| kraigu | jdoe loves centos :D | [16:44] |
| jpalmer | and, you can use the .115 IP from my /29 | [16:44] |
| up_the_irons | these VMs are free, but as such, must not take too much of my resources to make (hence, no additional IPs)
jpalmer: which account? disk will be blank, i want to see how installs from ISOs work out (tests a lot more of the stack) kraigu: jpalmer: cold hard cash works too :) | [16:45] |
| kraigu | up_the_irons: I find it often does :D | [16:48] |
| Webhostbudd | lower power hardware =( | [16:48] |
| up_the_irons | Webhostbudd: why sad? lower power, but not less powerful | [16:48] |
| Webhostbudd | oh
alright | [16:48] |
| jpalmer | up_the_irons: the jpalmer account. I'll test it as much as I can until you end the beta, then we can cancel/kill, it won't do anything that can't be destroyed. | [16:48] |
| up_the_irons | this thing screams so far, and uses less power than my Intel setups
jpalmer: roger | [16:49] |
| Webhostbudd | that's surpising, im guessing these intels aren't ivbs? | [16:49] |
| up_the_irons | Webhostbudd: no, not at all, they are old school Xeon's (socket 771 E5430's) | [16:51] |
| Webhostbudd | ahhh | [16:52] |
| up_the_irons | Webhostbudd: i've found that setup to be so reliable (> 900 days uptime on several hosts) that I never switched away. But as that hardware is becoming more scarce, and in light of future proofing, lowering power footprint, etc... I need a newer setup | [16:52] |
| Webhostbudd | i see how those could be super power hungry | [16:52] |
| up_the_irons | gotta run, bbl | [16:52] |
| Webhostbudd | are you using opterons or desktop class apus? | [16:52] |
| jdoe | the lower-power 8-core opterons are pretty sexy.
I think the newer i-whatever stuff still shits on them in the low end (in terms of 'power' per watt), at the cost of fewer cores... which is presumably a selling point for vps hosting hardware. | [17:04] |
| mercutio | the e5 6core 12 ht are meant to be "pretty fast"
but they're not much faster at some things still for intel i think the cool thing for vps hosting is that the new cpus do aes-ni i wonder if new amds do that oo too | [17:07] |
| *** | arenlor has joined #arpnetworks | [17:09] |
| mercutio | bloody windows
amd bulldozer support aes-ni | [17:11] |

| jlgaddis | up_the_irons: so powerdns-models makes me wonder if you've built a web frontend to powerdns =) | [17:57] |
| jpalmer | there are tons of web frontends to powerdns
I used to use 'pweradmin' a long while back. 'poweradmin' | [18:00] |
| arenlor | Heh, trying to figure out how to use PHP to edit XML (ATOM/RSS specifically), and I'm going, damn it, writing a program in C may be quicker. That should never be your reaction in a high-level language. | [18:03] |
| iih3ro | haha | [18:04] |
| kraigu | C is likely safer too, even if you are careless with your pointers :P | [18:08] |
| jlgaddis | jpalmer: *nod* most of them are fugly though | [18:12] |
| arenlor | PHP is great if all you want to do is write XML. | [18:13] |

| Webhostbudd | arenlor: more like cold fusion | [18:14] |
| arenlor | Webhostbudd: Eh? | [18:14] |
| Webhostbudd | oh
nvm | [18:14] |
| jpalmer | does coldfusion even exist anymore? | [18:15] |
| Webhostbudd | i doubt it | [18:15] |
| jpalmer | jpalmer remembers when it was allaire coldfusion, and then got bought by.. was it adobe? | [18:16] |
| kraigu | jpalmer: sounds about right | [18:16] |
| Webhostbudd | adibe
yea | [18:16] |
| jpalmer | jpalmer had several CF 3.0 and 4.0 books | [18:16] |
| kraigu | "had"? :(
think of all the doors that need holding open! | [18:18] |
| arenlor | kraigu: It was a cold winter day :P | [18:19] |
| kraigu | arenlor: haha | [18:19] |
| arenlor | According to Wikipedia, last release was in May. | [18:19] |
| jpalmer | wow. scary | [18:20] |
| arenlor | Christ is that expensive. | [18:20] |
| jpalmer | back in the day, allaire had a pretty decent IDE for developing web pages. homesite or something like that | [18:23] |
| kraigu | ya
homesite it was | [18:23] |
| jpalmer | shit! $4,200 for upgrade. $8,500 for the full version.
cripes. jpalmer remembers having a php plugin for homesite, or coldfusion studio. I can't remember now which i used. | [18:25] |
