email support@ :)
and I'm fairly sure he's sleeping right now.  I know I would be.
hi RandalSchwartz
How are you today?
Almost awake
in theory, up since 5
I feel that way too, but it's 4pm here.
but in practice, my body is lagging today
Ask me now.
I need to go fetch some tea with coconut oil... then I'll be better. :)
there we go.  tea with a tablespoon of coconut oil.  that'll get me going.
medium chain fatty acids go right to the cells, no need for the liver to chop it up into a different length
anisfarhana "Ask me now"?  Ask what.
Ask my condition.
Well.. you're free to answer without being asked.  This *is* a chat room. :)
That is not fun :(
I feel like just talking to myself.
I say a lot of stuff here (and everywhere) without being prompted. :)
You are difference.
Yes - that I am
I think i should get away from my laptop.
and focus on something else.
RandalSchwartz: You love to watch movie?
heavysixer needs a better net connection :)
RandalSchwartz: dood don't i know it…. sorry for the IRC spam
RandalSchwartz: i'll leave until I can get this resolved.
hi everypony
aww heavysixer didn't have to leave :(
wb heavysixer_
i just suppress join/parts
 /ignore -channels #arpnetworks heavysixer JOINS QUITS
so i didn't see anything but the +o
hahaha
My irc client can't do that. :(
RandalSchwartz: WHY NOT?
unless I write some more emacs lisp code
oh god no
yes, I am typing this in an emacs buffer
inside a tmux session
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ErcIgnoring
inside a Terminal.app
not using erc.. never got used to it
see, i just screen irssi
and...that's it
I use irc.el, which I contributed to, back in the day
tmux >> screen
what is 'back in the day'
oh geez, you mean there are more than one way to IRC  from emacs? *sigh*
yeah, there's about four
i just pretend emacs doesn't exist
tada http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/irc.el
m0unds++
Except for all these shortcuts I learned that are apparently based in emacs
brycec: ha it just reconnects me when i drop off
no - that's tale's client, not rocker's client
there were two things called irc.el
i gotta say
Oh FFS! This is one more reason to not emacs.
my brain has problems parsing that kind of syntax
real men connect to IRC with netcat
real men connect to irc/tls with netcat
Oh wait... it *is* tale's client, modified by rocker
and do the primes in their head
so it was a fork
haha
lol hazardous
so yes, that they are both named irc.el makes sense :)
what language is that in anyways
I'm comfortable with my level of manliness, and that's backed by having written a few IRC bots that "netcat" to the server (sockets, IRC message parsing, etc. I know my IRC pretty well.)
hazardous: you're looking at lisp
.el files are in emacs lisp
specifically that dialect ^
at one point I was very fluent in it
does that make it emacth?
as far as i can tell ; is a comment(?)
yes ; is comment to end of line
except inside something else
like a quoted string or a symbol or somehting
actually - can't be inside symbol
wait, does lisp do math like (1 3 +) = 4?
(+ 1 3)
how does that work
operator - operands
reverse polish, hazardous
forward polish :)
and very descriptive
lisp does forward polish, yes. ( hazardous was showing RPN)
I've never loked polish notation
my brain really has issues parsing that
but just because 1+1 was ingrained in school
it just seems weird to me, idk why
same with the ( ) on both sides of every single thing
yes... excessive parentheses issue
especially at end of defun (function definition)
))))))) ; sometimes
however, still far less verbose than typing XML :)
in fact, there's a mapping from XML to lisp-expressions somewhere
At least XML is self-descriptive
XML is no more descriptive than lisp :)
(html (head (title "foo")) (body (a href="bar")))
that'd be the lispy equivalent of a web page
RandalSchwartz: that can be broken over multiple lines, right? eg: (html\n (head \n(title "foo")\n)\n) ?
sure
because then it's exactly as readable as html :)
whitespace optional
cool
i really hate xml too
:L
i use json or yaml when possible, xml just pisses me off beyond belief and i don't know why
<3 JSON
xml has schema validation. and inertia. and "Enterprise" tooling.    JSON is young, but it could compete with schema validation and increasing adoption.
it's nice that when forced to use YAML, I can use JSON instead
since JSON is a subset of YAML
I hate the whole indentation-is-significant part of YAML
json kind of has basic schema validation in the form of bool/int/string i guess?
well it's implied at least
true. but Big Co.'s <3 the ability to swap WSDL files and presto! integration done.
it has a basic schema defined inherently by the syntax
what's fun is double-encoding XML, because you're passing an XML payload to SOAP :)
my prediction is that JSON will eventually eclipse XML as the preferred markup. due to it beauty and simplicity. someone will write the pieces that happend to be missing today.
at least in the scope i'm employed in, XML is the way
(today)
and even that isn't complete. the majority of integrations we deal with are still .csv or columnar or *gasp* EDI
YAML is more complete than JSON already though
YAML can do objects, and recursive data structures
JSON will likely never do that
that being said i hate soap and wsdl
much prefer rest stff
ditto
REST is the future. SOAP can DIAF
hazardous: plz2be replacing all my kit that speaks XML with equivalent REST conversant kit.
:)
:)
mikeputnam: i might just have a different oulook in things
im like.. a kid, i guess
i've never really knwon SOAP or WSDL much - almost every service api i've used has been restful
as a fellow human, i too prefer REST. but as an employee tasked with making random systems talk, the only sane option available to me is XML.
:(
and that's if i'm lucky!  if i'm unlucky i get to muck around in arbitrarily formatted flat files.
but all of it is better than the alternatave: Excel
mikeputnam: microsoft access db shared on a network drive being used as a rdbms
add finger quotes where apporopriate
azardous: hosted on a linux system as a crm app
sharepoint running on mono too??
wait i thought we were discussing terrible practices not the last level of hell
that was my 1st admin job back in the 90s
I've seen this (access on a shared drive). It was, um, fragile
it kind of weirds me out when people bring up the 90s, the only thing i remember is like 2003 onward
at least you didn't have to build a dvd image everytime you changed a system so that ceo of persnickety client could re-install suse w/out knowing what they were doing
haha
brycec i have some ubuntu lts stuff running
No, it's USB drives here.
and it has like 10-15 new 'package updates'
every singel day
it weirds me out
hazardous: they're just reminding you that they're still supporting it!
"change one sentence in the docs, package bump!"
Welcome to Ubuntu 13.04 (GNU/Linux 3.8.0-19-generic x86_64)
84 packages can be updated.
44 updates are security updates.
NICE
Debian
ftw
how many of the 44 security updates are due to running-by-default daemons?
debian (basis of maemo) is what screwed up my n900
it's updating gnupg, apt, things like that
need to recover some data off it after I figure out how to boot to a root shell and finish properly soldering its usb connector, then .. either sell it or see if openbsd can boot some century soon .. ;-)
which is really strange because it's a fresh install
off a netboot iso
they can't be bothered to build consistency, it all gets washed out in the list of updated packages on the ftp site, don't you know?
Need to get 121 MB of archives.
After this operation, 417 MB of additional disk space will be used.
A+
compression ftw
I love the "net install size" I get when upgrading Arch. Fun to see when packages have a bunch of new stuff, or bunches of useless files have been removed. Usually it's under +/-1MB though
brycec: you should have BryceBot join the channel ;)
happily :D
hi BryceBot
Hello to you too, brycec
If anyone has a problem, let me know
@wiki ARP Networks
Address Resolution Protocol :: Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a telecommunications protocol used for resolution of network layer addresses into link layer addresses, a critical function in multiple-access networks. ARP was defined by RFC 826 in 1982. It is Internet Standard STD 37. It is also the name of the program for manipulating these addresses in most operating systems.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address%20Resolution%20Protocol
eh, close enough. Guess ARP doesn't have a page
(BryceBot's most useful features, I feel, are providing information about links posted, eg. Youtube info, wikipedia articles, etc)
(There is also @google of course.)
(And many, many more)
gizmoguy: what kind of provisioning do you do with theforeman?
RandalSchwartz: "medium chain fatty acids go right to the cells, no need for the liver to chop it up into a different length" <-- you got this down to a science!

thanks toddf :)
brycec: do you have a faq or howto or words of wisdom wrt brycebot? aka tricks we can learn, things that just wont work, etc
Agree, hoping the "let's everybody play with it" will wear off soon
brycebot: where is your blog!

what kind of syntax on escaping
php
er, not
is it in preg_match /u mode
It doesn't escape is the issue

brycec: two suggestions. 1) some @command for brycebot (nice that it responds to privmsg) that is an entry for a guide to brycebot 2) some mechanism to teach brycebot new stuff, optionally activated upon your (or a set of trusted peoples) ok ..

toddf: doesn't quite work like that
BryceBot: Congratulations.
toddf: WHY NOT KEY VALUE STORE
MONGODB IS WEB SCALE
s§n't§§
web scaleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I mean, the basic @triggers could be pretty easily, but the rest doesn't work that way
so, permit basic triggers to be in a db, and permit users to define more
Also, that would require another table and some tools for me to easily edit... which is work, and another db table (I'm not thrilled with it using a db)
@teach -> "To learn about brycebot, there is @teach1, @teach2, etc, just keep going until you are bored"
comedy option: sqlite3
yeah, for the log search stuff, a real relational db was sorta required
brycec: permit interaction with brycebot directly instead of manipulating under the hood
ever used bitlbee?
no for log search stuff you should use mongo db because it's web scale and you can do map/reduce because it's web scale
-- actual response from someone asking me why i used riak
ha
qlist, yes, no .. map that to brycebot commands .. obviously some mechanism of authenticating oneself to brycebot would need to be done .. heh. don't let me talk you int more work, I'm just sayin what could be ;-)

I love never leaving IRC to see what a link is, thus why BryceBot decodes shortened URL's, amazon links, etc
brycec: yeah that's wicked neat
i need a new project

(Once upon a time, tweets @ BryceBot would get spit back out into IRC, but it was just noise.
haha
toddf: heh never heard of that shortener before
only twitter integration i've ever done w/a bot was a megahal bot that would tweet its last statement or a user-defined statement on command
what do you guys think of these:

http://v.gd/ebayc1100 (this time AFTER I've reloaded BryceBot)
huh wonder what's up... BryceBot ?
up_the_irons: if it helps arpnetworks, awesome. dell is always good in my book, the only limitation is your internal storage space.
brycec: it probably doesn't recognize v.gd as an url shortener
toddf: I just added it though
one of those in a soundproof closet with 4x15krpm sas disks would make a neat home vm lab server
m0unds: toddf : ah cool
(mmkay, found the issue)
up_the_irons: put it this way, if I were not strapped for $$ atm I'd be buying as many as I could afford, any number of uses including basic virtualization and/or test deploying custom virtualization environments
toddf: yeah they sure are a good deal.  can't do 8x raid-10 though, so they couldn't be VM hosts, but could definitely have many other uses
which reminds me, I promoted proxmox here a few weeks back, and since have been informed that they are doing the enterprise lockin pay perscription model where instead of simply paying for support if you want it you now actually have to pay if you want the stable service and extended features of packages that aren't available to customers who just want to try the barely out of beta free version. *sigh*. It makes me so irked that I ...
... want to find a way to create and promote a similar competing but entirely free for life product.
up_the_irons: can't do it natively. however, if you ever needed a push to try iscsi, glance at the builtin hba's that do iscsi natively and present it to the os as a scsi disk.
Isn't there already oVirt competing with it?
toddf: I know about "stable update"s and support, but what's this about extended features? What aren't I getting by being a freeloader?
toddf: oh man, too bad about proxmox
brycec: is there a 'entrely open source' and 'entirely open' distribution that does kvm virtualization? I don't care if you pay for support but for free use and to foster community development ..proxmox gets my unlike vote
I can't say as I've done any research into that field
Just saw oVirt mentioned a few times while browsing Proxmox stuff
I'm still pretty happy with my proxmox cluster
toddf: oh, so you're saying these boxes have a built-in hba that does iscsi?
brycec: I'm probably saying it wrong, clustering iirc was a biggie
up_the_irons: there do exist HBA's that have native iSCSI
up_the_irons: I was told so, please verify before taking my word for it
toddf: brycec : roger that
Or do what I do - gPXE+iscsi
toddf: I'll have to look into that I guess... The "testing" updates haven't removed any features so far
And I suppose you could stick with the distro as-downloaded for "stable"
the one thing to understand about hba's vs software iscsi is .. you can do lots of nic failover on the software side depending on the cpu and nics performance may be slightly lower. however, with the hba's I am not aware enough to know if you can have multiple hba failover on iscsi. aka multipath as it were.
(Just to be clear: I'm free and doing clustering just peachy-fine)
brycec: gPXE+iscsi?  dang
It's pretty easy...
But maybe I'm just so used to PXE-all-the-things that nothing wows me anymore
yeah i've actually never used PXE to be honest
good fun for large school labs  -  weekly automated workstation re-image
nice
of which pxe plays a part
We use it for imaging servers before they ship
also wake-on-lan
up_the_irons: 1and1 hosting pxeboots all their servers, and uses web ui to change the config if it is to land on the local disk or one of a list of rescue images with nice fully featured initrd's
mikeputnam: that is useful if you have systems that poweroff of course ;-)
yeah - big student labs + power savings
toddf: ah cool
up_the_irons: not sure if your version of libvirt supports pxeboot, but hey, its a thought for the future
toddf: yeah
pxeboot options: 'OpenBSD' x '5.0 | 5.1 | 5.2 | 5.3 | 5.4' x 'cdrom | pxeboot | hard drive' x 'serial console | vga console'
sweet I got a 4 year review!

RandalSchwartz: you were one of the first, i can tell u that
cool
And you still haven't scared him off? Well done.
i can't believe i'm at a year already
not only that, I dragged my client along as well :)
the captain
Does it show the signup date on the arpnetworks Web dashboard somewhere?
Maybe under invoices?
I see it was FreeBSD 7.2, which was May 2009.
Oh good call.
No invoices is too new.
lol
Every time I look at the Web dashboard up_the_irons has added something new. I love that.
:)
I can't decide between adding a second VPS or upgrading to a bigger plan :(
oooh - I should probably log in some day :)
bigger plan = easy upgrade, redundant VPS = work to make things split nicely and redundant
hey up_the_irons I normally wouldn't bug you in IRC, but... I emailed Support on July 21 and even received the autoresponse, but never a reply from you...
(well I'll bug you in IRC, just not about emails)
brycec: oh wow, that definitely got lost then
i try to flush the queue every 24 hours
heh I'd totally forgotten
and july 21 is way long ago...
was a question about console baud
wasn't until I started writing you a new one that past emails popped up
I love getting an autoresponse to my question about an upgrade pointing me at a FAQ article that says to email support, exactly what I'm already doing :P
FAQ-ception!
my /mnt is from 2009
I presume that's when I started :)
nov 21, 2009 - yeah that seems about right
Heh... I have files in /tmp from 2010
lol
not very /tmp. :)
including my /tmp/screens :)
haven't used screens in years
screen
switched to tmux a couple years ago, not ever going back
lol
My /tmp is cleaned out every boot
On my desktops, /tmp is a ramfs anyways
1 May 2009. Good idea on checking /mnt.
freebsd doesn't do that by default

RandalSchwartz: What does tmux provide to you that screen didn't? Another off topic question:  are you an irssi fan or more of a weechat person?
neither of the latter
irc.el
tmux provides a nice shell interface, so I can script configurations
One of my favourite things about tmux is how well it handles multiple clients of different dimensions all connected to the same window.
tmux comes with OpenBSD
Wait. Does that mean OpenBSD is in tmux or tmux is in OpenBSD?
