up_the_ironsnixbag: nice nick ;)
up_the_irons is playing around with Gentoo
[01:33]
nixbagup_the_irons: ty :) stands for the two things i love most. *nix OS's and footbag. [01:34]
up_the_ironsnixbag: LOL!
nixbag: makes sense!
[01:34]
nixbag<--- pinkus [01:34]
up_the_ironsnixbag: yeah i could tell from your IP ;) [01:34]
nixbaghaha, you hacker. [01:35]
up_the_ironsNo installer in Gentoo; LOL, you have to get down and dirty. love it [01:35]
nixbagi just recently tried the arch install method. my first time having to chroot to get a system bootable.
i'm a ways from trying gentoo :)

nixbagfreebsd is nice so far, but i'm still more familiar with linux right now. [01:37]

[01:39]
nixbagi'm moving back to cali in a month or two. [01:40]
up_the_ironsnixbag: nice!
nixbag: so you tried archlinux?
[01:42]
nixbagup_the_irons: yeah that's what i have on my home desktop at the moment. [01:42]
up_the_ironsSpaceDump: not sure if you noticed, but we're part of the NLNOG RING now :)
nixbag: oh nice, how do you like it? is pacman a good package manager?
[01:42]
nixbagup_the_irons: pacman itself is nice, but i've run into a circular dependency problem on day 1.
up_the_irons: so it's maybe not quite as good as apt.
up_the_irons: it also lacks many packages, but things like abs (kinda like ports/portage) and AUR make up for it.
[01:43]
SpaceDumpup_the_irons: I saw the mail. Great! :D [01:44]
up_the_ironsSpaceDump: :)
nixbag: ah cool
[01:45]
nixbagup_the_irons: i still prefer apt and will probably go back to debian in a month. [01:45]
up_the_ironsnixbag: apt is alright; somewhat messy but it is practical. i hardly ever have problems and updates take seconds. [01:46]
nixbagup_the_irons: have you ever used dwm or i3 window managers? [01:49]
LTthe thing that bothered me about arch last time I tried it is none of the packages are signed [01:49]
up_the_ironsnixbag: no, i've used: fvwm2, wmii, and (currently) xmonad
LT: no signed packages?? dang
[01:50]
nixbagLT: yeah arch is bad at security. [01:50]
up_the_ironswell, jeez [01:50]
nixbagi think arch is just a 'use at your own risk' distros with emphasis on minimalism for desktop use. [01:51]
up_the_ironshow can i make a template for arch if I don't even know the files I'm getting are legit [01:51]
nixbagup_the_irons: i wanted to try xmonad, i have heard nothing but good things about it. [01:51]
up_the_ironsnixbag: been using it for years now; it's the shiznitz [01:52]
nixbagi'll give it a try. it's gotta be more convenient to configure than dwm
but i am at work now and tomorrow, so i have to wait until saturday.
up_the_irons: have you gone to any concerts lately?
[01:53]
up_the_ironsnixbag: lol, actually configuring xmonad involves writing Haskell; so, "convenient" is relative
nixbag: no, been way too busy; i even missed Maiden in august, and that's like the first time in 8 years
[01:55]
nixbagoh haha. with dwm you need to edit the config.h in the source, thenr ecompile. [01:56]
up_the_ironsnixbag: what about u? [01:56]
nixbagthen recompile* [01:56]
up_the_ironsyeah, xmonad is a recompile too, but it's very quick [01:56]
nixbaglast concert i was at was maiden when they were at the Forum.
which was a good many years ago.
[01:57]
up_the_ironswhoa
i was there too
too bad we didn't coordinate!
i was in the pit, where for the first time i saw many people just trying not to get killed
[01:58]
nixbaghaha wow [01:59]
up_the_ironsthe forum pit is brutal (way too big). the pit in irvine is way better (very small)
not enough people too push or trample you, lol
*to
[01:59]
nixbagyeah i'd hate to get trampled.
up_the_irons: have you heard of a company called Cerner?
[02:00]
up_the_ironsnixbag: no [02:01]
nixbagthey do programming training, and i think they do a lot of medical programs.
there are a few of them in cali, and even one here in missouri.
might be the easiest way for me to get a foot into programming.
i've used the most popular medical programs that i think they work on.
[02:01]
up_the_ironsnixbag: oh that's a nice angle [02:03]
nixbagso i know the software from the user perspective.
maybe hospitals don't use linux because there is no linux equivalent software.
and if there isn't, that could be a huge opportunity.
[02:03]
up_the_ironsnixbag: you should talk to jpalmer, he manages IT equipment in hospitals [02:08]
nixbaghospital IT is definitely another interest for me :)
but i have to build up some experience first.
[02:09]
up_the_ironsyeah [02:09]
nixbagwhat does entry level entail nowadays?
network+ certification? or higher?
for hospitals, i would guess microsoft certification. havent seen any hospitals that don't use windows.
[02:10]
up_the_ironsnixbag: no idea [02:16]
anyone know a good sFlow collector for Linux? [02:22]
LTinmon traffic sentinel but it's $$$ [02:24]
up_the_ironsi c [02:26]
LTthough if you're only collecting from a few devices it might not be too bad, it's once you jump to the unlimited device license the cost rockets iirc
you could try qosient argus - sflow support in it is relatively new and I haven't tried it, but it works for other things
otherwise it's possible to use sflowtools to translate sflow to netflow and use various netflow frontends
[02:27]
up_the_ironsah interesting
i just wanna play around with sflow on my foundry switch
never had a switch have hardware sflow that didn't require an expensive add-on card ;)
[02:39]
LTdidn't you get some extreme stuff as well? thought they all did hardware sflow [02:40]

up_the_ironsLT: i do have one extreme switch i got a while back. never looked into the sflow on it. perhaps you're right
i have the X350
[02:54]
LTI know the X450 does, so would be surprised if the X350 didn't, but I couldn't say without looking it up. see if show sflow does anything [02:58]

LT: ^
dang, nice
[03:03]
mercutiothere's meant to be a sflow to netflow convertor [03:07]
jlgaddisi wrote some sflow -> mysql stuff when i was at the .edu, dunno if i still have copies of it or not [03:10]
..... (idle for 20mn)
nixbagup_the_irons: time to wrap up my shift then head home. i'll come by here more often :) [03:30]
***nixbag has left [03:31]
kraiguup_the_irons: if you do go with sflow -> netflow, I can't recommend nfdump and netflow-indexer enough
I use both of them daily, so nice.
https://github.com/JustinAzoff/netflow-indexer and http://nfdump.sourceforge.net/
you might find talk of flow-tools; it doesn't support ipv6 and its language is kind of nice but also kind of weird anyway.

segvhaha
Perl shouldn't make you cry.
[11:08]
milkinope, but the api does [11:09]

I have many API's that make me cringe.

RandalSchwartzup_the_irons - my autoposter has many steps :)
first, I had to look up the google API... found one for "search public posts"
then I got a G+ API key
then I wrote a pipes.yahoo.com recipe to perform the search and provide an RSS feed.
then I feed that into twitterfeed.com, which knows how to post to twitter and facebook.
that last part I could have used ifttt.com instead
but I've used twitterfeed for far longer
[16:00]
up_the_ironssegv: indeed, the others speak the truth [16:03]
segvhaha
well yeah, I manage my wifes vps with you guys :p love this setup
[16:04]

phluxupgraded my laptop to 8gb of RAM today
pretty happy
i actually got this laptop in a bind when my old one went south..i wasn't planning on keeping this thing long, but i've kind of fallen in love with it, heh.
lenovo thinkpad edge
picked it up for like $300
(brand new)
[16:48]
jdoeI just bumped mine to 8gb today too. [16:52]
dr_jkllol,
the ssd in my laptop is worth more than the laptop
[16:52]
***nixbag has joined #arpnetworks [16:56]
phluxdr_jkl: i'm thinking of doing that exact same thing
but at least the ssd can travel with you when you move laptops
my ram probably won't
i mean, it's ddr3 now, but by the time i get tired of this thing/it breaks, something else will be out
[16:57]
dr_jklis it socially acceptable, near one's birthday, to whore out a wishlist on social media and see what happens? [16:59]
phluxyes
someone will definitely see it and be like "thank god, i was wondering wtf i was going to get him"
been there many times
[16:59]
dr_jkleh most people who know me irl dont know i have a twitter or a facebook [17:00]
