dzup: brackets are usually used
jlgaddis: I read your Internet kill switch article again, but this time noticed your callsign (N9WWV).  man, you were one away from "WWW" ;)
i think i'm gonna get a ham license (what is the lowest one, "Technician" ?)..  i've had a GMRS one for years, now it's time to upgrade...
dzup: i find having a dns name really helps with ipv6 :)
with linux command line you always have to quote it when using the square brackets
it depends on the app and usage. ssh vs sftp vs scp have different requirements of brackets vs not.
ping doesn't even support ipv6
you have to use ping6
windows ping does actually
and some programsl ike iperf are weird and you have to tell them you want to use ipv6
welcome to inconsistency and job security
err
what happened there
rad
ping6 supports ipv6 :D
who would have though
up_the_irons: yeah, and that was before the "www" was popular, ~1994 iirc.  would definitely be cool to have today.
up_the_irons: with WWV, everyone always asked me what time it was  =)
Hello, I have a sales question.
feel free to ask it, but if it's specific it may be better to send an email
I am in planning for developing a Linux distribution (Gentoo-based), and I was wondering if you do discounted/sponsored servers for open source projects. I can tell more about it if needed.
I basically would need the server for planning reasons, then once the first release is out, this server being the main mirror and website.
Shane_Elmore: $20/mo isn't unreasonable for an adequate VM
(in my opinion)
< $1 per day
Right. Don't laugh at this, but, the issue is that I am 17 so I don't have unlimited money. 17 may seem young for developing a distro, but I do have a plan, just no server.
Generally speaking Shane_Elmore, the businesses that do give a discount only do so for established open-source projects
Shane_Elmore: the best option for you would be individual investors willing to take the risk
To be frank, fledgling 1- or 2-man projects are a dime a dozen... Businesses don't want to give away their product to something that is likely to never amount to anything or only benefits
 a couple of people
Shane_Elmore: you'll want to send an email in, asking about the discount
Yeah. Not really sure of any open-source hosting that is free other than SourceForge, and I don't have anyone who would understand Linux enough interested in funding it. Thanks for the advice though.
Not saying I want it free.
github?
bitbucket?
hmm
if its just code
theres plenty of free code hosting places
It's not. It's a full-fledged linux distro.
you can even put up binaries and github hosts webpages
But thanks, I'll keep looking!
a distro is still a bunch of text files
And, inevitably, needs some version control ;)
unless you have licensing issues
I do love me some Github
I guess I'll use Github if I don't find anything.
Bye.
your welcome -.-
Yepp, yet another distro is just what the world needs :)
lol
indeed
and, at 17, i'm sure he has tons of experience rolling one up
didnt you hear, they teach those things in middle school now
aw, don't be too hard on the kid
have you guys ever used mosh?
yes, mosh rules
i never realized there was a delay between me and my servers
now i know
the underlining is retarded, but oh well
I use it even on low-latency links to do roaming between networks
it does use a lot of CPU though
it's using more than firefox and thunderbird atm
jlgaddis: hey, i thought of making a distro when i was 17.
then i discovered how laborious it was going to be, and how little benefit i was going to get fromi t
phlux: i read you guys talking about mosh, and omg, amazing! :)
now if only openbsd would have port and it could be built into putty
