jlgaddisup_the_irons: what format do you use for your disk images? i might want to redo my centos vm but instead of asking you for the RAM favor again, i figure i could just setup/deploy it here the way i want, upload the disk image to my other VPS, and have you wget it and replace the existing one.

milki:P [09:36]
anisfarhanaI got a question about arpnetworks though. [09:37]
milkimilki just a user [09:37]
anisfarhanaI am wondering whether arpnetwork's VPS can mitigate the udp/tcp attacks. [09:38]
milki*the* attacks? [09:38]
anisfarhanaddos protection.
I mean the network.
[09:40]
milkii dont know [09:41]
anisfarhanaUmm [09:41]

jlgaddisanisfarhana: don't do anything dumb to provoke a denial of service attack and i imagine you'll be fine [10:28]
anisfarhanajlgaddis: internet bullying , that is what i encounter now.
Not provoke anything.
[10:29]
jlgaddisyou must be quite the unlucky person. i've been online for ~20 years now and have yet to be on the receiving end of a denial of service attack.
to answer your question the best i can, though, i don't think there's anything special in place to mitigate a denial of service. the exception would be some basic rate-limiting of traffic to 22/tcp (primarily to help prevent brute force attacks against ssh, i assume).
if you're doing something to cause your vps to be the victim of dos attacks, though, i think you might wake up one day to find your account cancelled.
[10:33]
anisfarhana:(
jlgaddis: You staff here?
[10:45]
milkiive been internet bullied
stupid kids -.-
[10:47]
jlgaddisnope, my only affiliation w/ arp networks is as a customer [10:48]
anisfarhanaI see.
I found the good provider for myself.
but they are extremely expensive.
e.g : gtcomm and blacklotus
[10:49]
milkiwell, if they have your requirements, then you should go with them [10:49]
anisfarhanaI can't afford to pay 450 USD monthly.
for their dedicated server.
[10:50]
milkii cant either!

phluxIf this portupgrade -a fails, I'm going to move this VPS over to Gentoo
If that's possible for me, anyway
[14:16]
milkilol [14:17]
twobitha1keremerge world && come back in a week [14:19]
phluxNegative
emerge -uDvaN @world takes about 5 minutes on my laptop
FreeBSD's ports takes way longer than emerge.
Sorry to bust your bubble there.
I'm not a fan of packages, and for some reason, I am ridiculed for it in #ARPNetworks
It's kind of annoying that you people can't just live and let live.
[14:20]
nesteaup_the_irons: are you around?
is it ok if I pm you please if so :)
[14:21]
twobitha1kerphlux: 5 minutes on the initial install? that's impressive [14:22]
phluxNo, not on the initial install.
But the initial install didn't take very long.
Now, installing KDE was another story
[14:22]
jdoeheh. [14:22]
twobitha1kergranted, last thing I installed Gentoo on was an I-Opener
that was a bad choice
[14:22]
phluxBut my VPS won't be using KDE ;)
Even then, KDE, OpenOffice, Chrome, and Thunderbird only took ~6 hours.
I started the install and went to sleep for the night
I remember FreeBSD taking days on KDE 3.5
I can only imagine 4.x
[14:22]
nesteayeah it takes absolutely forever [14:23]
twobitha1kersome things make sense to use packages for [14:23]
phluxOf course, processors have sped up quite a bit since I've ran FreeBSD locally. [14:24]
nesteaphlux: KDE would still take at least 2 days I imagine
at least.
[14:24]
phluxThe thing I hate about FreeBSD is the stupid config stuff. [14:24]
nesteabut I will always use ports, I love the various build options etc [14:24]
phluxHow some packages use 'make config' during install.
I like to just run portupgrade -a and leave for the day.
[14:24]
nesteaphlux: you can make all that run in one go at the start
read the manpage
[14:24]
twobitha1kerportmaster handles that better than portupgrade [14:25]
phluxbut I *always* come back to some config option
I see
[14:25]
twobitha1kergets all the config stuff taken care of ahead of time [14:25]
nesteawith portmaster it is --force-config with portupgrader it is -C I believe [14:25]
phluxinteresting
well, too late now, but I'll remember that in the future. Thanks.
[14:25]
nesteanp
wow. /me pats self on back. first time I looked in here in perhpas months and I helped someone
[14:26]
milkipormtaster deals with all the configs before it fetchs/installs [14:26]
nesteaw00t
:P
[14:26]
milkiit also lists which ports will be installed
milki recommends portmaster over portupgrade
and then theres the new pkgng
which i dont know how to use since i havent used the package system before
[14:26]
nesteayah portmaster is sexy, no ruby dep
but portupgrade comes with some cool tools like portsclean
[14:27]
milkisure, i have both installed [14:28]
nesteaI always do too :)
hehe

[14:28]
milkiya, porters have been raving about it
we dont use packages at $work though
but we should...
[14:30]
twobitha1kerwe have our own tinderbox setup for building the packages we use in production
saves a lot of time

up_the_ironschannel poll: random idea -- would it be useful to be able to reboot a vps via sms? kinda like how you can check your account balance via sms with your bank...
you would obviously have to register your number with your account first (just like the bank)
[22:47]
toddfI'd find it more useful to do so via email, but that's just me. I have sms disabled on my phone. If I want to sms someone, I find out what carrier they are on, and email their email to text gateway. ;-) [22:49]
mjpnot for me... i reboot probably 1/2 times per year and thats generally from ssh/the console [22:50]
DaCatoddf: what's the rationale on disabling sms on your phone? [22:51]
mjptoddf: do you know RMS? ;) [22:51]
toddfheh
1) sms is nothing more than a glorified expensive limited email system limited to mobile phone networks except for the sms to email gateways which further proves its equivalent
2) I hate that carriers use the fact that it is exclusive to the carriers as an excuse to charge a premum (someone calculated it would take 33 million to sms a hd video over sms on at&t for an example)
3) the part that pushed me over the edge was when I visited a client in chicago, was sent several sms messages, received none of them, missed some important info, and then the carrier had the nerve to charge me for them (that was back when plans didn't include some sms messaging for free as enticement)
sms people can sms me via sms -> email
I can sms people via email -> sms
why would I pay to send sms from my phone when email works perfectly well???
oh and I almost forgot
4) I fell for some stupid verification thing on a website and because I received the sms I got a $10/mo additional charge to some ripoff company .. at least the carrier blocked sms so this wouldn't happen again
why do you use sms?
mostly I hear the answer 'it is convenient' .. my sister actually told me 'my phone makes it easier to use sms than email' well duh, they have a vested interest in luring you into the false sense that an sms is an easy to use thing so they can charge you for it!
[22:53]
up_the_ironsfor me, it's 1-click on my android to see my account balance. i don't have to login, or open a web browser. i use the DirectSMS app. [23:00]
DaCayou are charged for _receiving_ messages? [23:00]
toddfup_the_irons: indeed. they lure you into 'sms is easy, use it everywhere' .. though usually mobile <-> carrier sms's are free, so I have little problem with that
daca: I have a grandfathered tmobile plan .. $19.95 for unlimited data (no caps no restrictions no nothing) .. no sms included .. $.13 each message received or sent if it were re-enabled
[23:01]
up_the_ironstoddf: since i use sms for nagios alerts (i think everyone does, no?), i have an unlimited text msg plan, and so the cost doesn't matter
toddf: nice rate
[23:02]
toddfthats the data plan. then the phone plan is more. between my wife and me the line charges and taxes and data plans add up to $165/mo.
if we change anything we're locked into 3 more years with tmobile
or if I port my phone # to another entity (my destination is voip) then my wife gets in a loophole to choose any plan w/out a 3 year contract as if she were continuing month to month
getting a $50/mo 5gb verizon mifi device plus my wifes options for new unlimited plans means I can use my n900 + verizon mifi for voip mobile calling for $50/mo and my wife's tmobile plan will be roughly $60/mo so $110/mo vs $165/mo .. sounds like a deal to me
plus having internet access in the boonies at my wifes parents house is a plus with verizon vs tmobile barely has reliable 2g edge data if I hold the phone just right in a particular window upstairs
if I want nagios to alert me I sent it via my mobile email address
though I got tired of false alerts via nagios and started writing my own alert system
[23:03]
DaCain europe you never pay for receiving, which is logic no? you can't control what you are receiving [23:12]
toddfindeed.
I don't care if it is free, sms is glorified email with proprietary delivery and limited capabilities.
