that's sweet
holy crap
im so glad someone did that
phlux: nice
phlux: who needs xdm/kdm etc when there's "startx"?
nice.
wow
what a lot of excess floods
Damned ban evaders.
Not sure what the point of quitting by excess flood and then ban evading is.
Seems kind of dumb.
mhoran: would you mind terribly unbanning me?
my connection flipped out and, for an unknown reason znc loses its everliving shit
ps not ban evading, that's just my un-masked host... my connection was kicked before znc could auth to services
mhthank you so much mhoran
I'm really quite embarassed...
:(
*embarrassed
Any Chef experts in here? #chef is useless.
Specifically Chef + Yum and dependency hell.
Okay... sorry about the flooding earlier. Apparently ZNC was re-joining all of its channels AND performing the /who and /whois and whatever else it does... all at once. No wonder FreeNode thought it was being flooded. Found the magical MaxJoins setting and that seems to have worked. Again, terribly sorry about the flood earlier.
up_the_irons: i didn't get a receipt for my recent order
i replied to your email asking for a receipt
could this be possible? i have an accounting department that i'm, er, accountable to
there is not a question that a receipt is possible, he's usually good at that. look for a welcome message containing 'VPS Summary' from support@arpnetworks.com, and a 'Subject: Sales Receipt' for each billing instance. if you don't happen to get things provisioned at the magic start of the billing cycle, the description will be 'VPS Services (pro-rated)' ...
the provisioning process includes both the welcome and the sales receipt. if your vps is not yet provisioned you won't have the receipt yet. if you didn't get it, check your spambox..
$ grep arpnet /etc/mail/whitelist.txt
                         174.136.104.219        # entp-2.cust.arpnetworks.com
                       2607:f2f8:a3c4::3        # entp-2.cust.arpnetworks.com
                            208.79.88.12        # mail.arpnetworks.com
that may also help you incase you use greylisting of some sort
                            208.79.88.14        # mail2.arpnetworks.com
                     2607:f2f8:0:101::14        # mail2.arpnetworks.com
I gleaned that info from the SPF record via my own spf2cidr script, available at https://github.com/toddfries/spf2cidr
greylisting so hateful. Wonder when/if postscreen will be able to pass through TLS connections without forcing a retry :/
toddf: vps is available, receipt was not received.
(nor email)
ryk: then I suspect an issue after his tramsission and before your receipt. up_the_irons is very mechanical in these things ;-)
heh.  iron maiden fan = very mechanical
lol
whatever bro
get the led ot
out, too
ryk: yeah i'll have to go find that receipt
so i signed up for pingdom yesterday to monitor some basic stuff off our network, then find out they don't support IPv6
w.t.f.
anyone know of another similar service that supports ipv6?
I do not :/
up_the_irons: the weird thing is, if you search for pingdom and ipv6, they TALK about it a ton.
ha
hah
jdoe: all bark no bite :(
i just want a ping6 of my IPv6 router
and i don't feel that setting up a remote VPS, with IPv6, nagios, etc...  is worth it just for one ping.  but alas, perhaps that is the only way.
maybe get a vps ;)
man, so overkill
I'll ping6 it every once in awhile! Of course, given the crap my HE tunnel's been giving me...
time to bust out vim and write a pingdom clone, i'll call it "ping6dom" ;)
pingdom thinks a 401 response is still "down", w.t.f.
i don't wanna give 'em a friggin' login
up_the_irons: direct them at a static page?
Just to save b/w on a few sites, I have an Apache Rewrite rule matching the User-Agent and serving "OK" rather than blasting a whole page (PHP, etc)
bryc3c: oh, that's interesting; care to share the rule?
sure lemme dig it out
tnx
(let me try and remember what hosts have it)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} monitis\.com
RewriteRule ^$ /blank.html [R=200,L]
or you could just use .htaccess to bypass require valid-user on whatever file you're hitting :P
... or just give them a url somewhere that isn't in the secured area entirely.
fwiw jdoe some sites don't work that way. You give 'em a host and they ping it and grab /, no option to specify a url
as was my case
(And fixed with two lines ;))
bryc3c: sweet tnx!
