[04:13] the coloru scheme also puts me off [04:13] but i imagine that's fixable [04:14] it looked good how it organised things on the screen [04:38] I like weechat. [05:11] The color scheme is annoying but you can change that. [05:11] The Android mobile client rocks, which is why I switched. [05:11] It doesn't have the same key bindings as irssi which is kind of annoying, but whatever. [06:01] are the key bindings sensible? i'm really cautious about changing irc clients :) [06:02] dunno why i've changed web browsers many times, but irc is like ... i just want it to work wihtout getting in the way [06:03] If you don't want change then you certainly don't want to change something. [06:04] I like weechat's key bindings. They're also configurable, so there's that. [06:04] mm, i've never actually configed an irc client [06:04] i used a script with ircii [06:04] but it auto setup colours etc [06:05] irssi default config seems a lot better than default ircii [06:05] and it auto sets up new windows if you do /query user [06:05] you don't need to do /window new hide [06:27] *** nestea has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [06:28] *** eryc has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) [06:38] *** bGeorge has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [06:38] *** nestea has joined #arpnetworks [06:43] *** nestea has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [06:44] *** nestea has joined #arpnetworks [06:45] *** bGeorge has joined #arpnetworks [06:46] *** eryc has joined #arpnetworks [06:46] *** eryc has quit IRC (Changing host) [06:46] *** eryc has joined #arpnetworks [06:56] *** evhan has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [06:56] *** evhan has joined #arpnetworks [07:09] *** mardraum has joined #arpnetworks [07:16] *** heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: BAMPF!)

Maybe whatever path you enter their network through is saturated but mine isn't. [07:45] hmm [07:45] Also working fine for me [07:46] tracing from arp it all looks fine [07:46] weird [07:46] seems to have stabilized now.

[07:47] it may have just been blocked? [07:47] if it's that easy to mitigate, it's a weakass ddos [07:47] haha [07:47] Blocked? What a bunch of wimps. [07:47] really you shouldn't talk about ddos like that [07:47] if anyone reads it that is doing the ddos it encourages them [07:48] meh [07:48] script kiddies don't need encouragement [07:48] they're all hopped up on mountain dew anyway [07:48] code red! [07:49] i had one slow path & one that worked OK a few minutes ago [07:50] ddos probably saturated one transit link or something [07:50] or a transit provider went down and network reconverged or something like that [07:50] could be anything [07:51] wonder if all my pingdom false positives for servers outside arp are related [07:52] i just found this monitoring thing called nodeping [07:52] but one of the things it said it did was try from multiple locations when outage [07:52] i don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing though [07:52] cos when there's issues from some places but not others it's still good to know [07:54] I can see that being true.

[11:02] maybe its just a configuration issue :o [11:03] Why would such a thing even be configurable, though? [11:03] or no one submits bug reports and just switches to a different one [11:03] sometimes i want my black to look yellow [11:03] ! [11:03] Uh huh.

[12:19] Ahmed: probably.

[12:38] cullum: I think there might be. I was able to VNC into my VPS but the funny part is that it's not even connecting to the internet [12:38] And what worries me is that it's been 5 hours and nobody responded to my ticket [12:39] someone mentioned a DDoS in this channel earlier today...i dont think any of the admins responded to that though [12:40] the admins are up_the_irons and he's obviously AFK [12:43] *** cullum has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [12:43] no idea if it's related or not, but my $20 VPS lost it's mind at approx. 10:30am UTC-5 [12:44] had to hard reboot [12:44] *** heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks [12:44] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer [12:45] first reboot since i became a customer on May 1st [12:46] mikeputnam: did the hard reboot fix it?

My smokeping graph for my ARP VPS is nice and clean [13:41] yeah, there was a dos attack earlier; i null routed the target IP, but not all peers / transits have a null route community, so some traffic still got through [13:44] phlux: urxvt has been my fav term for many years now [13:45] I'm using it in KDE now..pretty awesome. [13:45] I wish I could get it to beep though [13:45] I assume something KDE-related is standing in the way [13:46] I've made a few changes weechat-related (more UTF8 stuff) but here's my most recent screenshot (I'll update when I am finished with changes): http://www.ewnix.net/~phlux/pics/Gentoo-Screenshots/KDE4/weechaturxvt.png [13:48] Ahmed: *your* VPS was the target of a large DoS attack this morning. We null routed the IP and will keep it in place until we feel it is safe to remove. I'm sorry if you had to wait HOURS for a response to your ticket. Maybe you should take your problems to Rackspace, or EC2. [13:48] jeez, the nerve of people [13:48] Excuse me? [13:48] And how am I supposed to know the VPS was a target to a DDoS attack exactly? [13:48] Ahmed: network graphs [13:50] And it is just OK to assume I will run to the network graph w/o even an email notification. [13:50] up_the_irons: I can't access the Help Desk [13:52] And maybe I "will" take all my problems elsehwere. [13:52] Ahmed: thank you [13:52] You got it. [13:52] Will there be a prorated refund for the upfront payments? [13:52] dibs on his VPS! [13:52] Ahmed: yes [13:52] Appreciated. [13:53] phlux: i can corraborate the Help Desk outage: "We're sorry, but something went wrong" [13:53] I will have to find out if there are any files on that VM that needs to be retained. I assume you can at least provide these? [13:54] mikeputnam: aye [13:54] Ahmed: we don't need to notify you if your vps was shut off due to a dos attack; read the terms of service. personally, i was just about to go to bed after a very long night, and then i had to get up again because your vps was attacked, and wasted a bunch of time. I don't appreciate this, so don't be surprised if i'm not so eager to please you [13:54] Well, the "wasted" time is part of the business [13:54] Nobody said it was "Easy" ☺ [13:55] like i said, the nerve of some people [13:56] Oh well. [13:57] Ahmed: right, and i can refuse business of people that waste my time, and make it unprofitable. difficulty has nothing to do with it. [13:58] Well, can't say that statement is not fair. [13:59] phlux: i had that problem once before, try clearing cookies of "support.arpnetworks.com". otherwise, it's probably a Tender issue and they'll likely fix it [14:01] *** mnathani` has joined #arpnetworks [14:01] up_the_irons: very well then. If you go ahead and do the prorated refund and I will take my "trouble" eslewhere, that would be highly appreciated. [14:02] And FYI, the VPS was for a client of mine, not me. [14:02] And the DDoS voilates __MY__ TOS as well [14:02] Just my 2 cents. [14:03] well, ddos does mean there is no service [14:03] I am too pissed off because of the DDoS [14:03] For nearly 2 years I had a great experience with Arp [14:04] congrats? [14:06] Ahmed: we appreciate your business; i was surprised to see it was your vps under fire. however, I have a zero tolerance toward dos attacks and the policy is to shutdown anyone who becomes a packet magnet. the amount of support tickets and complaints we receive when things like this happens makes it impossible to justify keeping those accounts. [14:07] And you know what? I appreciate your business too [14:08] Your statement just hit the wrong spot... [14:11] * up_the_irons needs to grab food before a 3PM meeting, and wanders off [14:13] oo, like that other guy with the internet bullying [14:17] *** nestea has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [14:50] Ahmed: some people (like randalschwartz) have multiple arp accounts. some for personal vps's and some for clients they manage vps's for. no clue if the logic will stick that it was your client not you that attracted the ddos but anyway. [14:50] toddf: Yeah... Well, what's done is done. up_the_irons made it clear despite of the conversation we had privately. [14:51] All good [16:17] *** andol has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [16:22] ... speaking of ToS, zerigo's are nuts. Anyone recommend a dns host? :P [16:23] jdoe, what's up with zerigo's? I don't think I've ever read them.. but I use them [16:24] and I wrote the only functioning Python API client (that I know of) for their service.. so now I'm biased :) [16:24] http://www.zerigo.com/terms [16:24] the acceptable use section also applies to their dns service, not just hosting. [16:24] which is insane. [16:27] hah, that is a little wild [16:29] they're a pretty good host, but that's crazy. [16:35] *** andol has joined #arpnetworks [16:37] *** Ehtyar has joined #arpnetworks [17:40] anyone know of a registrar with dnssec api that isn't gandi? (they're kinda expensive) [17:49] jdoe: i found this in my bookmarks: https://www.icann.org/en/news/in-focus/dnssec/deployment (api status unknown) [18:15] api status is kinda crucial [18:16] I don't want to have to login to update ds records by hand. [18:19] I just host my own DNS.. [18:20] *** cullum has joined #arpnetworks [18:41] I prefer to keep personal and not-personal things separate, including "not linked by common dns servers serving no other domains" [18:42] I also don't feel like maintaining >1 dns server.

Otherwise I don't see how it has much to do with jdoe's question. [19:20] * andol just realized that he responded to an hour old comment [19:20] ah, didn't pay attention to that [19:21] So, why doesn't this display any Kannada characters in urxvt? URxvt*font: xft:Liberation Mono:pixelsize=16:antialias=true:hinting=true:xft:Lohit Kannada [19:22] name.com does ds records, but afaik only for .org, and when I asked them about an API they said "I'LL PUT THAT IN OUR DEVELOPER'S TICKET SYSTEM", and then closed the ticket about 4 months later with no comments/updates :P [19:22] internet.bs seems like a good registrar, but makes no mention of dnssec at all. [19:22] * jdoe mutters. [19:22] unable to calculate font width for 'Lohit Kannada:slant=0:weight=100:pixelsize=18:minspace=True', ignoring. [19:22] AHA! [19:25] Does anyone know what to do with that information? [19:26] curl up in the fetal position and cry? [19:26] already there [19:36] phlux: yeah, when fonts don't show up, it is usually b/c they were ignored, but urxvt will still startup. it helps to start urxvt from within a separate xterm, konsole, w/e, so you can see the errors/warnings it outputs [19:36] well I was able to get that error to go away by passing a pixel size [19:36] however, I *still* can't see the look of disapproval in urxvt >_< [19:37] off topic, i must say, the centos 6 "minimal" install actually has sane defaults for running services (simply 'sshd' w/o all the rpc garbage) [19:37] hah [19:37] I thought Lohit Kannada would fix that, but evidently not [19:38] can you see it, up_the_irons? [19:38] ಠ_ಠ [19:38] ^I just see blocks with an underscore separating them [19:39] phlux: same here, but i don't have that font in my config either [19:41] * up_the_irons is picking apart "yum groupinstall base" b/c shit, base installs so much more than needed [19:42] centos needs a "minimal - server" config (not simply "minimal", which is quite minimal,yes, but man pages and cron are nice too!!) [19:42] [19:42] I don't know the first thing about CentOS [19:43] I never gave it a shot because I hate the name [19:45] up_the_irons: debootstrap debian is just as bad. [19:46] * up_the_irons nods [20:08] *** cullum has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [20:38] oh so there was a network issue then [20:39] glad there was a definite answer [20:47] *** ix34 has joined #arpnetworks [20:47] *** mardraum has left [20:48] *** ix33 has left [20:48] *** HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks [20:49] and thanks whoever recommended weechat on here [20:49] nice new toy [20:52] *** HighJinx has quit IRC (Client Quit) [21:20] bah i'll try it :) [21:20] *** mercutio has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [21:21] *** mercutio has joined #arpnetworks [21:21] mm seems ok [21:22] i'm logged in to google talk as well with it though [21:22] which i apparently need for my new job... [21:22] i use jabber for work [21:23] command line by any chance? [21:23] it's actually quite easy to run a private jabber server [21:23] well you can use most clients [21:23] i use gajim atm [21:24] a lot of clients will do gtalk or jabber [21:24] right [21:24] and with jabber you can message google [21:24] this is a python jabber plugin [21:24] so you just setup the jabber server that then connects to google. [21:24] or connect directly to google ;) [21:25] i used to use micq yeras back on command line [21:25] but then all your work messages go through google [21:25] well we try not to xmit root passwords there [21:25] but, sure. [21:25] still, it's pretty easy to setup your own server, and then it doesn't go through google unless you add someone who's on google [21:26] gah, i still have wireless interference it seems like [21:27] there's someone nearby on channels 4 and 8 [21:27] everyone there uses just google talk accounts. i have set up private jabber servers before. very good workgroup tool [21:27] and someone on channel a 20 mhz [21:27] and i'm on channel 11 20 mhz [21:27] i haven't had nearby people with strong signals before, they seem to have a tp-link router, i have tp-link too [21:28] and it seems fine at close distnace, it was fie on 40 mhz too, but watching graph of signal it seems to go down sometimes [21:28] by about 20db to 30db [21:29] i thought the idea of wireless meant there were lots of channels, but channels like to be real wide :) [21:29] i can't figure out where they are even, it seems signal stays at mostly constant levels when moving around [21:30] there's not even really close physical neighbours, so i'm a bit stumped where their wireless point is [21:30] maybe they have external one with strong signal [21:30] can you identify other SSID's / networks? [21:30] i can see their ssid [21:30] it's calld "trojan horse j2.1" [21:31] i have no idea what that means :) [21:31] maybe it's this wireless card showing drops [21:32] it was giving packet loss on windwos computer where it was being problematic [21:32] which i haevn't seen before [21:32] i've onyl seen laggy/slow wireless not actual packet drops. [21:32] and enough that it shows in windows 4 pings [21:32] i assume 20 mhz is safer [21:33] what wifi standard? [21:33] N? [21:36] yeh [21:36] channel 1 is g [21:36] my phone is g too [21:37] hmm all the usb spectrum analyzers are 2.4GHz only [21:37] computer has a n [21:37] 2.4 ghz [21:37] it's two stories away that user having problem is [21:37] but i've used this router further away than that and been ok before [21:38] WOW a 5GHz USB s.a. is almost $600 [21:38] it's about 80 megabit one room over [21:38] i'm using inSSIDer atm [21:38] on windows [21:38] i used wifi analyzer on android as well [21:38] and there was a little bit of overlap [21:38] i dunno how 40 mhz handles overlap [21:38] i also have no idea what wireless card problem user has on their laptop [21:39] err built in [21:39] my laptop has intel and that seems slower than the atheros on my desktop [21:39] well at those kinds of speeds a bit of interference causes lots of inconvenience [21:40] yeh [21:40] i still wonder where this router thing is [21:40] maybe they're modded and running high power or something [21:40] yeh [21:41] still even if they are, why is there less signal loss moving around the house nad outside [21:41] than to my router or the g router [21:41] the g router drops off real quick for some reaosn [21:41] even when using g to it [21:41] it is a thomson though [21:42] i tried setting my channel to clash with theirs in hope that their channel would shift [21:43] i should turn in my RF geek card [21:43] last AP i bought was an airport [21:43] heh [21:43] at last place i was someone had an airport [21:43] it wasn't too bad [21:43] i don't even know what it's doing, everything is set to 'auto' [21:44] range was a little lower than this router though [21:44] there are a handful of the ATT wifi routers around me, but nothing causing me any trouble that i can tell [21:44] it was higher than all in one modem/wireless though [21:45] actually i'm probably causing my neighbors grief with this setup [21:45] how come? [21:45] it's probably doing 2.4/5 and 40MHz channels [21:46] 40 mhz channels is pretty common [21:46] we do 2 or 3 simultaneous video streams all the time with no hickups [21:46] i really wish they'd just do 20 mhz better [21:46] what megabit? [21:46] at least one HD, the other are probably low [21:46] what's that 20 megabit? [21:47] no not that high [21:47] 720p is what 4mbit? [21:48] real? [21:48] that seems pretty low [21:48] no i'm assuming that's the apple h.264 [21:49] wow [21:49] it is low [21:49] 3.3 megabit for 720p [21:49] i get massive lag if i copy files across network from other room [21:49] at about 10 megabytes/sec [21:49] i think wireless doesn't multitask that nicely [21:49] it really doesn't [21:50] especially when you get a bit of interference and you have more than one stream attepting retransmit/recovery [21:50] i kind of want to run a cable through the wall [21:50] hmm [21:50] well they were getting about 4 megabit [21:50] cat 6 cabling has never failed me ;) [21:50] but youtube buffered at the start [21:50] and youtube is fine here [21:52] http://postimage.org/image/do8f6775b/ [21:52] that looks like trojan horse is being really greedy [21:53] whoa [21:53] maybe should bump to 12 [21:54] might get you away from that guy [21:54] i kind of want to do 40 mhz [21:55] but it seems you can only one 40 mhz on a network at o nce? [21:56] i doubt 5 ghz would work between two stories anyway [21:56] but wow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels [21:57] i think some kind of automatic channel sharing and width changing is necessary really [21:57] he's parked himself right in the middle of the spectrum [21:57] does MIMO in 802.11n use multiple wide channels at once? [21:57] i'm nto sure, mimo is enabled [21:58] dunno what it does tvh [21:58] tbh [21:58] or maybe it only does multiple channels on differen tbands [21:58] mine is reporting using 1 & 149 [21:58] i'm assuming that's 1 on 2.4 and 149 on 5 [21:59] "*With 802.11g and newer only the channels 1, 5, 9, and 13 shall be used in order to obey the non-overlapping 20 MHz OFDM channel scheme borrowed from 802.11a.
