out of curiosity, what do you guys use raspberry pis for?
i need to justify buying one even though they're only $25
35
but depends, i use it for dnsmasq for my local network
you can use it for hardware hacking as well
Raspberry Pi
An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte!

phlux, where at?

weird
i don't think i have a use for one
neat concept though
speaking of which
now is a good time to get my external hd shared wirelessly
Hello. Are there any staff online please?
I'm not sure how formal this IRC is :P
so anyhow..staff?
up_the_irons is the only staff
might want to file a ticket
I filed a ticket. How long does it usually take for a reply?
staticsafe: are you a user of arpnetworks then?
I am
staticsafe: can you vouch for their services? are they easy to work with in terms of price? what service do you have?
staticsafe: dedi or vps?
dominicl: I have a VPS
staticsafe : ah ok, thinking of getting a dedi from these guys if they reply to my sales question :p
ah cool
dominicl: tis the weekend, might have to wait a bit
staticsafe - are they usually quick?
dominicl: i haven't had a need to file a support ticket yet ;)
wow nice
hopefully soon :p

any of you ever used tinyproxy?
nope... just squid, privoxy, polipo and ziproxy.
I should set that up again, privoxy/polipo/ziproxy made mobile browsing suck a lot less.
dominicl: so you know, arpnetworks is not staffed 24/7 .. they permit you to automatically reset your own system, have serial console, video console, etc from remote available. so unless something majorly goes south, things are generally not needing them to spend time, which in turn factors into the low cost they charge for the service. it is a tradeoff. those of us that are happy are quite happy with the tradeoff.
does anyone use anything like darkstat, but will give you an actual amount of bandwidth used over a period of time?
darkstat shows min KB/s, avg, and max, but not the total
mrtg
bwd
http://bandwidthd.sourceforge.net/
bandwidthd tells total
mrtg/cacti show average etc
but you can work out total
mercutio: thanks
interesting
doesn't look like they do *nix stuff anymore
bah, found it
sourceforge is just being dumb
probably :D
wtf
idk what's using so much bandwidth on my arp vps, but it's already used 16MB in a matter of minutes..
trafshow, iptraf and such tools will give you a realtime view of network traffic
thanks
tcpdump is a 'bit' less easy to use ;)
i wonder if it has to do with this tinyproxy i've setup..
i'm the only one that can connect to it afaik
well, iptraf will tell you ports as well
i don't see iptraf in ports anywhere
openbsd ?
FreeBSD
ok... might be something similar then... haven't used Freebsd for a couple of years now
trafshow might be availible
yeah, it is
and it shows something like ip,2084
so i'm assuming 2084 is the port
but i have no clue what it is being used for
yes
lsof might help
linux got netstat -anp to show program
d'oh
i'm dumb
2084 is my SSH port -_-
i don't remember correct parameters for lsof to list open sockets :D
haha
:D
that should show some traffic ;)
i'm going to disable this tinyproxy and see if anything changes
i don't know how i'd be using 2MB in a matter of minutes by being connected to it, but we'll see
lots of background requests
.D
k, i'm going to check it again in 5 minutes
yep, that was it
mystery solved
phlux: i use vnstat for b/w usage measurement
fwiw
phlux: also, I use my RPi for XBMC
(yeah I'm catching up on the day's scrollback)
phlux: if you're running a web proxy, you probably want to spend some extra time to ensure that you've got it locked down pretty well
other wise, don't be surprised when 1) arp sends you a huge bill for bandwidth overages and/or 2) the police show up at your door
why is that possible?
just curious
because if it's not properly secured anybody in the world could use it
