holla sup qbit dzup: I've got no complaints sup brycec o/ Hey guys A friend of mine recommended arpnetworks and I just signed up for a VPS The thing is, I wanted to use it to host a quick resume website I would whip up for an interview tomorrow - is it possible that the setup will be complete before the 24 hour mark I got in the initial e-mail? you could send an email to support@ asking, but beyond that I have no idea. thanks jdoe 24 hours? damn, up_the_irons is lazy ;) alkoff: if its nto a complicated website, just use github or something :P setting up and configuring a webserver for your site is a lot of overhead for something quick or just use dropbox dropbox has websites? dropbox can serve a file out over http. unless you need an actual web page, then nevermind :) whoa its true http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_host_your_website_dropbox really simple website i guess yeah i just use github for that they host my website milki: good idea, although that's part challenge/reward, "yup - set up this whole thing last night" setting up a server isnt challenging though -.- yeah...apt-get install nginx done! milki: not really, espcially not with puppet, but I liked the way it sounded in my head from zero to complete site in an hour or so nginx comes with openbsd what? in base system same with tmux does it? I thought they were still hard for their patched apache. patched apache is still default, nginx is the up and coming tech, someday apache will get nuked, time is uncertain as to when, has to do with dev time and such similar to unbound/nsd kicking named to the curb, smtpd kicking sendmail to the curb (never gonna give you up postfix) i use postfix, unbound, tinydns and lighttpd unbound i think is pretty good I just use a chrooted bind. They haven't had a serious issue in a long time. nginx never seemed any better htan lighttpd to me jdoe: for recursive or authorative? mercutio: nginx never had the memory leak problems lighttpd had. It also has more visibly active development. lighttpd is good too jdoe: i haven't had memory leak issues recursive, I don't host my own dns anymore. I just let zerigo handle it. but yeh more active development mercutio: note the use of past tense :P but i stopped caring a while ago and i've been using lighttpd for ages i used thttpd a little bit before that i bet thttpd died thttpd isn't "dead", it's just a finished project according to its creator eh, they all fill different niches pretty sure thttpd's niche is filled by python -m SimpleHTTPServer thttpd is way faster than python with less overhead up_the_irons: 52428800 bytes (52 MB) copied, 117.548 s, 446 kB/s :'( needs the cgroups stuff :) yes, except nobody knows how to do that, and google isn't turning up anything useful. :) alkoff: i'm doing a round of provisioning within the hour, so it's coming soon jdoe: you gotta remind me again which host you're on no clue. One nobody ever quits from. Sec. quits from sec? ;) 06. you said, once upon a time, nobody ever cancels from that host :P yeah i thought that's what you said last time... $ uptime 15:09:21 up 1016 days, 13:02, 2 users, load average: 3.14, 3.15, 3.07 w00 jdoe: yeah, nobody quits.. haven't put a new VM on there in ages jdoe: what OS? linux fwiw it's not misbehaving anymore. you have virtio turns on and everything? *turned as far as I know could have sworn I had to switch from sd->vd a while ago. alkoff: your VPS is coming up in about 10 mins took you long enough I'll need to speak to your manager doomviking: you're looking at him ;) fired lol up_the_irons: if you had a manager I'd say I think you're doing a great job, from my POV. but you don't, so pound sand. ;) :) up_the_irons: You are the best! that's what the girls tell me... up_the_irons: Many thanks alkoff: np :) garry's vps' bring all the boys to the channel :| ear. wormed. screw you. lol
