twobithackerAnyone tried FreeBSD 10 on ARP yet? [06:54]
m0unds_yep [06:54]
twobithackerany problems? [06:54]
m0undsnope
10.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE #0 r260789: Thu Jan 16 22:34:59 UTC 2014 root@snap.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
[06:55]
twobithackerZFS or UFS? [06:55]
m0undsufs [06:55]
twobithackerI was thinking of doing ZFS so I could snapshot and send/receive to backup my VPS to my home storage box [06:55]
m0undsyea, that'd be nice. i was worried performance would suck, so i just continue running backup scripts [06:55]
***rgouveia has joined #arpnetworks [06:56]
twobithackeryeah, I'm concerned about stability. ZFS likes RAM, and my VPS doesn't have much :) [06:56]
m0undsyeah, that too
mine was also an upgrade from 9.2 --> 10.0, so i would have had to wipe
doh
[06:56]
***m0unds has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [07:00]
twobithackerI'm still on 8.2
I should probably upgrade to 8.4 at least
[07:05]
staticsafei tried to do ZFS inside a 1024MB vbox VM and the installer died because OOM
oops :P

Yamazaki-kuntwobithacker: Heck, I've got ZFS on a 4GB D520 box at home and that sucks. Stick to 8+.
allegedly 1GB/TB and from what I've read about how much RAM dedup wants, get yourself a Data Domain box if dedup is that important.
and Georgia has been cancelled due to snow. Yay.

brycecI'm happy to say that I live in the Pacific Northwest, where people expect snow (and have been deprived of it this winter). 3" fell overnight, yay! :D (only took 30 minutes to clear the snow off my car, and 25 minutes for the 7 mile commute)
(well closer to 20 minutes to drive I guess)
[09:15]
phluxI'm installing Arch in a VBox (Gentoo host) just to see what the new installation is like, and I'm going to admit to you all: I'm pissed off, but not for the reasons you might think.
I'm just sitting here watching pacstrap do its thing
and I think to myself: "How much time have I wasted compiling?"
So
Now I'm sad.
[09:18]
m0undshahaha [09:18]
phluxthanks [09:19]
m0undsenjoy [09:19]
bryceclol [09:19]
m0undsjust be sure you're dilligent w/reading docs before updates [09:19]
phluxI'll probably end up moving over to Arch today/tomorrow [09:19]
m0undsor you'll be sad [09:19]
brycecI thought I remembered that Gentoo switched to stage3 and mostly binary stuffs? [09:19]
phluxm0unds: That's the one thing I REALLY like about Gentoo.. I'll get news updates in the terminal before I update to let me know about updating certain packages. [09:19]
m0undsthey're generally good about announcing potentially painful changes to stuff on their boards [09:19]
brycecYep, always read the notices. They aren't frequent, but important stuff like "migrating to systemd, all others are doomed" or whatnot [09:19]
m0undsyeah, arch will do that too depending on the gravity of the change [09:20]
brycecAnd website. At least, that's my source (RSS) [09:20]
phluxaye [09:20]
brycec(or maybe it's just email)[09:20] <m0unds> people just tend to ignore the warning and then cry when their system breaks (not saying you'd do that, but there are people out there who do) [09:20]
phluxyeah I can imagine [09:20]
brycectl;dr people are stupid.
<.<

[09:20]
m0undsyep
i ran arch on a personal project server for a year and didn't have any issues with it
[09:20]
phluxIm honestly just doing the VBox thing to make sure I can use Arch's installer without killing my /home partition. [09:21]
m0undshacked gitlab to run on it, did some other stuff, decided i just don't really care too much for linux so i'm back on bsd [09:21]

phluxI'm seriously upset at how quick pacman is [09:25]
m0undshahaha [09:25]
brycecReally? I get perturbed at how slow it is.
<.<
>.>
[09:25]
phlux:|
I honestly think pacman might be the quickest binary package manager I've ever used
[09:25]
brycecj/k, somewhat. Doing huge upgrades that fail because some package key isn't installed yet, so I have to --ignore the package until archlinux-keyring is updated, and rerun the whole thing 2 or 3 times... Then it gets annoying. [09:26]
phluxwell [09:26]
brycecphlux: Seriously?? Faster than pkg_add (any variant therein) [09:26]
phluxbrycec: I actually haven't used pkg_add in years, so I can't speak for that one.
I haven't used pkg_add since like... FreeBSD 4.3?
[09:26]
brycecWell it boils down to ftp $path/tar -x
Can't get much slicker/quicker than that
[09:27]

well
that's true

brycecWell the coast is a different kind of stupid when it comes to snow and ice :p [09:33]
Yamazaki-kunbetter coffee than anywhere, more affordable housing than CA, absolutely zero blue laws, legal gambling
and weed but I'd probably just do it once to say I've done it
[09:34]
brycecBut here in the Inland Empire (stupid name) people are more accustomed to snow. [09:34]
Yamazaki-kunif that
when I see "Inland Empire" I think of Bakersfield.
not Bend.
[09:34]
brycecBend is hardly "inland"
Inland Empire here refers to Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, Moscow, Lewiston. That sort of thing.

[09:35]
Yamazaki-kunah, more inland [09:36]
BryceBotInland Northwest (United States) :: The Inland Northwest also known as the Inland Empire, is a region in the Pacific Northwest centered on Spokane, Washington, including the surrounding Columbia River basin and all of North Idaho. Included in the region are the counties of: Washington Adams, Asotin, Benton, Chelan, Columbia, Douglas, Ferry, Franklin, Garfield, Grant, Kittitas, Klickitat, Lincoln, Okanogan, Pend Oreille, Spokane, Stevens, Walla [09:36]
brycecApparently, Oregon isn't even a part of it. [09:36]
Yamazaki-kunBehind the Iron Curtain, yay

So Kittitas is in but Yakima isn't?
okay, it is
[09:36]

BryceBotCarnot cycle :: The Carnot cycle is a theoretical thermodynamic cycle proposed by Nicolas LĂ©onard Sadi Carnot in 1823 and expanded by in the 1830s and 1840s. It can be shown that it is the most efficient cycle for converting a given amount of thermal energy into work, or conversely, creating a temperature difference (e.g. refrigeration) by doing a given amount of work. Every single thermodynamic system exists in a particular state. When... [10:14]

up_the_ironsnftables the new sauce? [11:08]
Yamazaki-kundoes nftables's configration interface suck less than iptables?
wouldn't be hard.
[11:08]
GluffiSup_the_irons: yes
iptables is horrible
[11:13]
up_the_ironsyeah that's why I use ferm [11:20]

mercutiois nftables able to be used yet?
it would be nice to have pf on linux
i use ferm on linux too
although i got lost figuring out how to disable connectino tracking again :/
[13:24]
m0undsi was really used to ipfw, but i use pf now that it's the default on freebsd [13:24]
mercutioapparently it's changed now
pf is the default on freebsd?
[13:24]
m0undsit was on 9.2 [13:25]
mercutioi thought ipfw as default on freebsd 9 [13:25]
m0undsdunno about before that, it'd been a while since i rolled a new box [13:25]
mercutiomaybe it might change for 10 i thought cos they doing the smp work [13:25]
m0undsm0unds shrugs
it was default on 9.2
[13:25]
mercutiocool.
i use it on freebsd 9.2
but it needes a module loaded
which doesn't seem very default to me
[13:25]
m0undsSince FreeBSD 5.3, a ported version of OpenBSD's PF firewall has been included as an integrated part of the base system.
so..that long, i guess
ipfw is still there and the module's only loaded when you pass "firewall_enable="YES"" in rc.conf
[13:26]
phluxbrycec: around? [13:31]
brycecsomewhat. at lunchbon my phone. [13:33]
Yamazaki-kunpf isn't loaded by default
have to edit rc.conf
in 10 still
[13:33]
m0undsyea, i meant it was included, but forgot about how to invoke ipfw
either way, modules are there for both

mercutiois that in filter table?
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
[14:12]
Yamazaki-kunw00t
do you actually notice a performance difference doing normal things?
and not, say, a super-heavy-use virtualized DB?
[14:16]
dneI'm new to ARP, and I didn't run it very long before I asked to switch to virtio [14:18]
brycecGenerally speaking, and this isn't on ARP, but virtio does make a huuuge improvement for disk performance. Simply installing went from 30 minutes to ~2. [14:19]
up_the_ironsmercutio: oh sorry, table RAW [14:19]
mercutioyeh found that [14:20]
Yamazaki-kunoh goody [14:20]
mercutio# iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -s 172.16.0.0/16 -d 172.16.0.0/16 -j NOTRACK
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
[14:20]
dneyeah there didn't seem to be much point not using it [14:20]
mercutiobrycec: maybe it not syncing
but yeh virtio can make a diff
when i did the beta test with openbsd thing, it was faster as soon as up_the_irons fixed the write cache issue
when the write cache was broken it was slower than the old host
[14:21]
up_the_ironswrite cache makes a HUGE difference [14:22]
Yamazaki-kunsubmiting ticket, then. [14:22]
mercutioyeah [14:22]
Yamazaki-kunmay as well get that out of the way before I start crazy virtual network config
and apparently vimage isn't quite good enough for the release engineering team yet. "WARNING: VIMAGE (virtualized network stack) is a highly experimental feature."
Hopefully by 11.

Yamazaki-kunI like the Rhino labelers.
The Brady one seems to be more fragile than it looks
Specifically, the cartridges are a royal pain.
I love the self-lamininating labels when the damn thing works, though.
But without a labeler, how do you deal with five hundred pairs of orange-jacketed single-mode, all alike?
other than that some will MELT YOUR EYEBALLS OFF, of course.

[15:19]
Yamazaki-kunnice to know it's not just me
now: all the lines run together

okay, not quite true, I've seen far too much Solaris 6 well after 10 came out.

being able to do increments / sequences and v / h wrap (with presets for CAT-X, Fiber, COAX, etc...) just can't be beat

Yamazaki-kunI think the Rhino I've got is $200 though
doesn't do self-laminating but does everything else
great for load panels, too
but won't do anything about 208V taking two circuit breakers
$150, even.
in the kit with hard case and charger
oh, my. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16828111111&ignorebbr=1 down to $170 for the self-laminating and USB model.

mercutiophlux: i don't understand why you need to use source packages so much
i think if you really do want to use source packages a lot gentoo is kind of desgined for that
i think the real benefit with gentoo was overlays though
[18:04]
m0undsfunroll-loops
the real benefit w/gentoo is that the time you'd spend doing anything else will be spent building packages instead of using them
[18:09]

it really doesn't take that long to compile the programs that I use

m0undspretty uneventful upgrade (just the way i like them) [18:31]

it makes most code go slower

i always used to find apt-get slow
where it takes longer to install packages than to download htem

Yamazaki-kuncould've been because I had built world tonight
the swap part, anyhow
not the panic

jpalmerYamazaki-kun: with the advent of freebsd-update, why build world?
(I didn't scroll up, pardon me if someone else asked)
[19:16]
Yamazaki-kunwell, the idea was to get CTF in so I could dtrace later if I wanted [19:18]
kind of a PITA, really.
next time I'm setting up jails I'll grab the txzs from the install set
ah. figures. something screwy with the routing I'm trying to do.
[19:28]
phluxgood news: the arch installer supports my wifi out of the box [19:36]
Yamazaki-kunand yay, managed some sort of image corruption. Reinstall! and I'll stick to a more straightforward jail configuration. [19:40]
mnathaniIs this iso like a net install? FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso [19:44]
Yamazaki-kunsounds like it [19:51]
brycecphlux: sweet
also, congrats
[19:52]
phluxhaha, haven't made the jump just yet :P
doing some backups first
[19:53]
m0undswas just gonna ask if that meant you'd decided [19:53]
phluxI pretty much have
I'm going to go through with it. If worse comes to worse, I'm familiar enough with Gentoo installation to just come back.
[19:54]
m0undsYOU CAN DO IT [19:55]
..... (idle for 24mn)
jbergstroemm0unds: imo, one attractive benefit with gentoo is when wanting to run stuff like nginx or collectd (or any other binary that has optional modules) you can actually just use what you need, not 200 extra packages [20:19]
phluxwell
there's that and you can mask future packages
example: someone on the Gentoo forums had an old printer that only worked with cups 1.5 and below. When 1.6 came out, he masked it, and was able to carry on with 1.5. Arch, at the time, shipped with 1.6, and he had to manually compile cups 1.5 in order to use it.
I've always wondered what Arch users do when the kernel updates via pacman and it breaks support for their wifi or something
Do you just deal with it? Manually compile the old kernel?
[20:20]
staticsafekeep backups of the previous kernel [20:24]
m0undsjbergstroem: i can do that with bsd and never use gentoo [20:24]
phluxstaticsafe: Is it simple to just 'roll back' to the previous kernel with pacman? I assume the package is still sitting in a local directory somewhere [20:25]
jbergstroemm0unds: but then you'd have to manage packages, dependencies (and upgrades) manually, right? [20:25]
m0undsno [20:25]
jbergstroemm0unds: talking about fbsd ports here? sure [20:25]
m0undsyep [20:25]
staticsafeportage > bsd ports
imho
[20:26]
m0undsHAHAHAHAHA [20:26]
phluxI agree [20:26]
staticsafemuch better management system [20:26]
jbergstroemm0unds: without sounding like a smart-ass, it is a bit more sophisticated [20:27]
m0undssure [20:27]
jbergstroemanyway, not the place or time for a good ol distribution/os bikeshed disucssion [20:27]
staticsafestaticsafe nods [20:28]
m0undsconceptually, it's probably better because it's based on ports, but unsophisticated package management doesn't really break my heart
and it's newer* ^ + based on ports
[20:32]
RandalSchwartzportage? seriously? [20:32]
m0undsm0unds shrugs
i honestly wouldn't know, as the only time i've used gentoo was 12 years ago
i'll just keep ports + portmaster and not worry, haha

any irssi users here who have run into weirdness with irssi needing a /redraw pretty regularly?
might give weechat a shot - not sure if it's irssi or my terminal screwing up, but i've sent stuff to the wrong channel like 3 different times today. ugh.
[21:48]
brycecpacman.conf features exclusions (masking), down to the version number 20:21:31 < phlux> I've always wondered what Arch users do when the kernel updates via pacman and it breaks support for their wifi or something
phlux: and yes, unless you've cleaned the cache, you can pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux...
m0unds: never needed to /redraw... Didn't even know it was a thing.
(I generally Ctrl-L for redraw)
[22:00]
m0undsah, gotcha
really odd though, wonder if maybe it's my aircard connection at work (was having to work from the server room)
[22:02]
brycecmosh? [22:05]
m0undsyeah, used mosh earlier in the day, but had issues and switched to just regular ssh
issue was happening on ssh
[22:06]
brycechm, yup no idea [22:09]

Yamazaki-kunpretty snappy connection too given that's running off my Bitfolk VPS.
anyone know what ntp.conf parameter I use to tell it to stop trying to bind to everything and bind to only what I tell it to bind to?
found it -- for some reason FreeBSD ships with ntpd 4.2.4 and you need .6
