@last up_the_irons up_the_irons, umm... O..kay... lol that's awesome Alistair: i'm working on your session now for some reason on irc servers youi used to be able to do /whois and find out idle time but if you didn't include the server name it wouldn't tell you i imagine that was only on some irc networks Alistair: your session is up Sweet BGP is running and has gone worldwide Now for OSPF Does ARP have blackhole community? mercutio: yeah, it's network-dependent haha, ryse triggers game dvr randomly and it just helps me see how godawful i am at playing that game i'm just wondering and can't remember anyone ever asked this: what does the arp in arp networks stand for? maybe address resolution protocol ^ if i had to guess, i would say that too...but i see the possibility that it stands for something else ant: see the top of https://portal.arpnetworks.com/ :) lteo: damn...i've seen that so many times and never made the connection... lteo: thanks indeed @define ARP ARP: Alsatian artist and poet who was cofounder of dadaism in Zurich; noted for abstract organic sculptures (1887-1966) I like this definition better :p o_o (for the record, that's a define: search on Google. So blame Google.) http://www.gizoogle.net/ is so much better yep What's a good freenode server to connect to via IPV6? umm, the one i'm on now hasn't dropped for a week hang on heh, same i'm on wolfe.freenode.com .net rather wolfe.freenode.net but frankly, freenode is unreliable period. It's only a matter of time.. ^ yeah haha that's why i said "like a week" because that's a major milestone :) I'm on morgan since Dec 5, so only 6 days or so i wonder if that's richard k morgan I got dropped from both of those earlier today. [signon: Fri Nov 29 06:56:29 2013] i guess it's been more than a week for me haha asimov, calvino, morgan, wolfe, hobana All dropped within the last 24 hours. I'm on leguin now for the first time. are you connecting via arp or something else? Yeah, ARP. huh, weird no drop for me via arp from morgan freenode weirdness i guess I guess. ant: Originally, ARP never stood for anything; enough people kept asking, and my wife came up with "All the Right Pieces"; I kinda liked it so that's kinda it i like that better than address resolution protocol and i never noticed the tagline in the portal login i always just assumed arp was addr res proto i assume arp was as in ethernet too assumed Change it to AARP when you retire. hah 19:44:24 asimov, calvino, morgan, wolfe, hobana leguin dropped? sounds like something else is up Yeah. My lag spikes up a lot. I think I have the threshhold at 30s before my client reconnects. I guess I'm not really getting dropped, just getting really laggy. I'll set it to 60s and see what happens. yeah, i get horrible bouts of lag from every freenode server my client complains pretty regularly worst i've seen regularly is 10sec i think not as frequently w/this particular server though ... Maybe I should try 240s. That seems to be a pretty common timeout.
