WhoWhatWhen
mercutiojlg: tcp/ip can misbehave when paacket loss happens seomtimes
and not recover very quickly. esp. at high rtt.

jlgaddisyeah, i remember reading something about that once
:)
[00:18]
mercutionewer linux versions deal better than most things fwiw
as much as it pains me to say it linux is really ahead with tcp/ip stack

jbergstroemup_the_irons: how is the backup data stored? (for instance, encryption per account?) [03:29]
I mostly use tarsnap for "online" backups [03:34]
........ (idle for 37mn)
up_the_ironsjbergstroem: it's stored however you store it (you determine whether you just want to rsync raw data, or run it through some encryption)
toddf has an interesting command line to dump all his stuff encrypted to the backup server
(for privacy purposes i'll let him paste it in the channel if he so chooses)

I'm guessing randalschwartz is not around or he'd talk about his spiffy zfs send setup whereby he does snapshots of his system at arpnetworks and does some form of snapshots to a filesystem on a remote server in an efficient manner for a backup solution. I can only guess his mechanism could be easily adapted to the backup server up_the_irons is setting up.. [06:48]

as it happens, it would be pretty easy to replace the dump... with zfs send
I get something similar to toddf's from using duplicity (it's tar-based rather than dump, and does incremental backups too)

jlgaddisyeah, elsewhere i use duplicity to create backups split into 100 mb files that are then gpg encrypted and rsync'd to a remote host [14:52]

degyvesI have just bought my first dns name at gandi. Now (if I understand well) I have to provide gandi with the DNS servers to apply to my bought domain so it will point to my www.myserver.com. Is this the 208.79.88.7 ? [15:19]

sorry if it appears repeated, I wasn't logged ind correctly
[15:21]
mercutioi have no idea what ip that is, usually you either get someone else to run dns or you run your own
and if someone else is running dns you have to make sure they have records for your domain name.
[15:25]
bobdolecreate [15:26]
warexholy dear I don't understand a thing
I have a VPS with openbsd
this openbsd server has an ipn address
[15:27]
bobdolegandi proobably has dns [15:28]
warexwith a nginx web server [15:28]
bobdolejust create an a record to point to ip address of server [15:28]
staticsafewhat are you trying to do? [15:28]
warexI'm trying to write www.mydomain.com and see my VPS's webserver
write www.mydomain.com in a browser
[15:29]
bobdolego into DNS settings and create an "A record" to point to the VPS ip address
DNS settings on gandi site
then ping the domain from outside of the VPS to make sure the domain name is being resolved to the IP
or nslookup or dig
[15:30]
warexgonna try it! [15:37]

brycecIf gandi.net doesn't offer DNS hosting (but really, what registrar doesn't??) you can use a free one like dns.he.net (<3 them) or you could host it yourself (which, if you're unfamiliar with DNS, you probably shouldn't be doing.) [16:11]
up_the_ironshas anyone with a beta account tried duplicity on the backup server?
just wondering if it works...
[16:23]
.... (idle for 15mn)
hazardousbrycec: dns.he.net doesn't permit wildcards in records :(
also gandi does offer really nice dns hosting, but it's incredibly newbie-unfriendly
it has you make a fork of your zonefile or something, then edit it and merge it or save it back in or something, then swap domains to the new zonefile
[16:38]
DaCaup_the_irons: there should be no reason why it shouldn't because it works even in a completely empty chroot dir with internal-sftp [16:40]
up_the_ironsDaCa: oh wow, nice
hazardous: yeah, i noticed that too. their dns manager is really hard to use.
hazardous: every edit makes a new zone file and you have to make it active before changes take effect; really strange
[16:40]
hazardoushaha
btw - up_the_irons is there anywhere i can look at bandwidth used or graphs out of curiosity
[16:43]
up_the_ironshazardous: click on "Data Transfer" in the Portal [16:50]
hazardousooh pretty [16:50]

up_the_ironsDaCa: what option? [17:09]
DaCathe Data Transfer link in the portal? [17:09]

up_the_ironsDaCa: email support@ and it'll be added [17:27]
phluxI didn't know we could do that
I set up my own :P
http://bryant.ewnix.net/vnstat
[17:36]
up_the_ironsphlux: i like the nice text-based printout :) [17:36]
phluxThanks :D There are graphs on the "hours, days and months" links
But it still prints out a nice table
[17:37]
***nixbag has quit IRC (Quit: WeeChat 0.3.8) [17:49]
brycecup_the_irons: Yeah I've duplicity'd up to it (it's just ssh/scp... didn't bother trying sftp) [17:49]
up_the_ironsphlux: cool
brycec: oh nice!
[17:51]
brycec(It would also do webdav and ftp_ [17:51]
DaCabrycec: if you choose scp it will do parts in scp and parts in sftp, but you make it use sftp only which is a big advantage if you want to combine it with openssh's chrootdir and internal-sftp, you don't have to populate the chroot at all
s/make/can &/
[18:00]
bryceckewl
brycec uses S3 for 99% of his duplicity backups
[18:03]
up_the_ironsDaCa: ah, an empty chroot is pretty cool [18:07]
DaCaI made some deals with some friends colocating at different places, we each provide backupspace for each other using ssh chrootdir/internal-sftp/duplicity, ultimate deal [18:09]
brycecThat's cool [18:13]

its apparently 0,01/gb

Never retrieved it though
(Used Amazon's S3 lifecycle stuff to migrate an S3 bucket of a decomissioned server into Glacier)
[18:19]

apparently for long term storage

milkioo, badge [21:32]
nixbagsounds wonderful. probably easier than getting a temp badge :)
up_the_irons: switched to weechat. it chose the color pink for you.
[21:32]
up_the_ironslol [21:37]
brycecIt's okay up_the_irons, irssi/nickcolor.pl gave you blue. [21:51]
up_the_ironsphew [21:52]
nixbagi miss irssi already. thinking of going back to it. [21:52]
bryceclol [21:53]
nixbagweechat looks like a text based circus [21:53]
brycecI liked weechat. Just haven't had the time to get it all configgered up [21:53]
nixbagup_the_irons: i should be available all day thursday. [21:54]
up_the_ironsnixbag: ok, i'll let u know if it comes to fruition
weechat *is* a text based circuis, that is why it rules
and vertical split
and the fact that my cursor is directly under the window upon which the text will appear
had some embarassing "wrong window" lines go out in irssi
[21:54]
nixbagi'm giving weechat more time before i make any final judgements :) [21:57]
