perhaps earlier. time flies..

up_the_irons: what's that shell / terminal that is good for flakey connections? I wonder if it would help customers experiencing high latency in the shell simply b/c of distance (customers in brazil have like 190ms latency)
phlux: mosh
up_the_irons: phlux: tnx!
phlux: aye
GluffiS: mosh seems to be the thing to use, works great on trains with flakey 3g or onboard wifi ;)
phlux: it's a bit of a memory hog
that's the only con there
(both server-side and client-side in my experience)
up_the_irons: thankfully ram is cheap :)
mikeputnam: needs udp connectivity
(in case they are behind restrictive firewalls)
nat/proxies/whatever
brycec: Whoa, oh no, not 190ms!
-: brycec glares at the Time Warner cable connection at work that spikes over 1000ms
staticsafe hugs brycec
brycec: Yeah... Apparently my SLA doesn't cover latency
*stab*
mercutio: brycec: they prob have high packet loss too
brycec: Not that I've noticed
mercutio: no them not you :/
brycec: oh the Brazilians
mercutio: you've prob got high buffer bloat :/
brycec: But they're assholes to deal with
mercutio: when you say "at work"
your owrk is using cable?
so it suggests to me that maybe people are uploading ?
bufferbloat on cable networks often happens on the upload side...
which you can control.
brycec: "Look at this latency! It's unacceptable!" "When you download, your latency is going to increase." "NOT BY 10-50x!!"
mercutio: I'm the only person that works in the office.
mercutio: oh real
brycec: And it's a "business class" account/connection
mercutio: what speed is it?
brycec: 15/5 as I recall
mercutio: have you tried reducing your window size?
but that is pretty gross
brycec: I haven't tried anything really - the same gear (pfSense router, network switches, computers) all worked just fine before the move on a much faster connection, and before that, a slower connection, so there really shouldn't be any configuration problems :/
And the latency starts at the first hop beyond the modem
mercutio: it's probably the way they're shaping you
like my dsl connection lags something chronic if uploading
although i was looking through the config dump
and i saw something about qos set to disabled, and set it to enabled, and it reduced from like 800 msec to 200 msec
brycec: lol, well congrats on that
mercutio: but download is much harder to fix
brycec: I'm left campaigning for a leased line
mercutio: other than by reducing window size
dark fibre? :)
brycec: there's a company nearby that does it, I sent them an email but never heard back :(
Also I expect that to be $$$
mercutio: yeah
brycec: (TW eventually admitted that some backhaul between $city and $upstream had been down since last week)
mercutio: oh so your downloading is creating issues?
oh what
brycec: yeah, I notice it while downloading
brb gonna test
mercutio: so they don't have any of their own capacity out of the city?
brycec: Still doing it today (they claimed it would be fixed by yesterday)
I have no idea
I didn't notice any speed limitations... but that's only half the story of course
Spiked to 1660ms as I downloaded a file
staticsafe: O_o
mercutio: umm
brycec: (the download maxed the connection's 15mbps)
mercutio: do you know anyone else in the city on same provider?
maybe ip address in same subnet would work :/
it'd be interesting to see if other peoples latency goes up or just yours
interesting not meaning actually fix your problem at all :/
brycec: heh unfortunately I don't
(and my home is the next state over, on Comcast)

Micah_: can anyone help me with an issue I'm having on my VPS?
My cusor on my VPS doesn't move at the same rate as on my computer.
phlux: As in you're experiencing typing delays?
nixbag: up_the_irons: I am hoping to see them when they come here.
Micah_: No, just my cursor
phlux: No, just my cursor
phlux: ..? as in mouse cursor?
Micah_: Yes
phlux: I've got no experience with using the mouse on a VPS..are you running X or something?
Micah_: what do you mean?
I'm using a vnc viewer
phlux: Is this a Windows VPS or something?
Micah_: yeah it has xp on it right now
phlux: Ahhhh
that explains it. I have absolutely no idea on that one.
Micah_: alright
know anyone else that could help me?
phlux: I only have Linux/FreeBSD VPSes :|
Micah_: ah ok
phlux: Best bet is to create a support ticket on the website or wait for up_the_irons to come around
Micah_: alright, is he on here a lot?

toddf: if you are using a mouse in a vps you're going to want the usb tablet cmdline option to kvm
-usb -usbdevice tablet
looks like its not enabled by default
SpaceDump: jbergstroem: Will do! :D
