brycec: it's not firstnamelastname but firstname-lastname and it's also there for older customers (i just checked and i have one)
Ah there it is... Thanks ant
<brycec>	 Just somethign r*nerd was going on about the other day.
[22:44:10] <@up_the_irons>	 brycec: yes, something like <cust-name>.cust.arpnetworks.com is created
[22:44:31] <brycec>	 Ah, interesting.
given this, i would appreciate an apology brycec
'going on about', implying i was trying to hax0r arp clients earlier, etc
I just placed my first order for a VPS. New customer so hopes are high.
TheHiTCH_ i think you'll be really pleased, especially if you use freebsd :)
Always
good man
www.coindev.org
Have other VPS and boxes around the world we are looking for another provider
that's hosted on a arp vps
so a trial
feel free to ping/trace/etc
yea, smart
Very quick on WWW without Gzip but I see nginx being used... direct file or sendfile?
hm gzip isnt' being used?
yea nginx
not in headers from check
sec
"Disclaimer - performance is my speciality so I go for headers always first - don't usually even look at page - sorry"
well snack me till midnight:   #gzip               on;
it's commented, and i thought it was enabled
no, please no apology, i appreciate it!
well I am in Sydney - very quick.
in fact, help me do a little fine tuning?
what do you need
in fact, i'll post up my entire config. moment
http://pastie.org/private/i1qjnt2sh2j7ecmaa0g
you'll notice, answer to your other Q, sendfile is on
all of this is up for modification, so give me what you got!
not much of it. very short and direct
nice to see keeping it simple is a good start
all static pages?
ty
yes, for now
well then you are about "with gzip" as you are going to get it.
short of pre gzipping and using maybe sendfile
  #tcp_nopush         on;
you could always put varnish in front and then you have memory based serving
what's that one?
yea that'll be next
a cacher
think of it as output buffering
eg as one
for headers that is
output buffering?
eg send headers as one or as they are passed to it as a handler
but for static pages they exist nearly right away eg for fstat
leave it for the moment
ahhh
and for gzip remember cpu vs speed / bandwidth
so either a dribble or a splash?
splash - push
yes
also latency is only on the first packet/s so being in Sydney it is fast because each packet comes right away with no delay so very quick.
talk later .. will share my experience once my first box comes online.
yea, sounds good. thanks for the help hitch
Morning all .. well it is in Sydney.
it's 1455 here
Anyone know once you reinstall a new FreeBSD image - what is the standard process to get serial connection to work - is there a script etc
no idea, haven't used the serial console, just the vnc console
I haven't even looked at serial tty for about 15 years
ahh ok
TheHiTCHO you do know there's a vnc console yes?
i have mine up 24x7
that works just nice to have both options.
isn't that bandwidth
vnc's kinda gross on slower connections
i don't care, all i need is a 'moving picture' of the console
it would be or slow cpu as it's compression isn't nice
heheh
i only worry about it if there's something to worry about
that's why i log things
latency with a wall of stuff dumping to console is turrible
imo if i have a wall of stuff in the console i already have a problem to be working on
AFAIK it's not bandwidth on your subnet, so not charged to you. 13:57:06 < TheHiTCHO> isn't that bandwidth
ok that makes it clearer
ThalinVien: FreeBSD has some spot on docs for setting up a serial console... Pretty much add a line to boot.conf and enable it in /etc/ttys
TheHiTCHO**
(sorry ThalinVien bad tab complete)
unless i'm having connectivity issues and can't reach my vps normally or it reboots and fails to come back up, i don't really worry about the vnc console
yeah I remember some of it was wondering if ARP had a quick script... it's is ok will put it back.
I definitely like having both options.
ditto
Nope no script TheHiTCHO, there's nothing special about it either. I suspect up_the_irons just set those same files when he made up the pre-installed image :p
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html
that?
looks like the right url
Yep exactly that. It was even in my history still.
s/boot.conf/loader/conf
s/boot.conf/loader.conf
<brycec> ThalinVien: FreeBSD has some spot on docs for setting up a serial console... Pretty much add a line to loader.conf and enable it in /etc/ttys
cool.
All sorted 9.2 install and configured to work again with console. Thanks all.
Congrats
Does anyone know the process to order more servers under the same acount? Do you simple go thru the whole process all details a second time or can you add somewhere to existing?
http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cpg/4271238442.html <- if any bitcoin experts or angels happen to be present
TheHiTCHO: That's the process.
up_the_irons: will figure out you have an existing account and just add the servers to that.
ahh ok thanks
TheHiTCHO: You can also email support@
anyone know how long support tickets are taking?
