My connection to my VPS's seems slow pjs: it may just be your path or your host traceroutes can sometimes show degraded performance oh hmm helps when you have right domain name in :/ yeh speeds to a few remote hosts seem normal to me actually i'mg etting kind of bad performance to uk hrmm I completely lost connection to this host for about 30 minutes only this one VPS instance.. all my others respond OK funny enough, I'm IRC'ing from the host that's having troubl pjs: so it was just your connectino to the host you're ircing from? and the host itself could reach irc srever http://tinderbox.bsdjunk.com/tb/ an arpnetworks donated vps! cool neat c can't change folders that way in IRC. mercutio, apparently. but I also couldn't reach arpnetworks.com either but whatever.. it's been fine since then so.. I'm having trouble with the ARP network today.. even now, I get a ton of packet loss into the network. earlier it was just 1 host, but now it's all hosts.. pjs: what did trace look like ? mercutio, dying after 96.44.180.246.internal.quadranet.com.. probably firewalled quadranet? i didn't nkow they were upstream is this frmo another server/ This is from my office (where I am now) DTLA, actually like a mile from the ARP DC :) " echo "c3VkbyBybSAtcmYgLwo=" | openssl base64 -d " ... i've taken off the piping to a shell so it's safe but that's a damn nasty command... what does it do? ... it's safe with the echo | openssl but it does sudo rm -rf / ah sorry i can't read base64 :p openssl does though http://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/14cgad/it_jokes_lets_hear_them/ it's frmo there heh that thread oh you've seen the thread indeed
