hm, no failcnts openvz is ick like that mnathani wouldn't touch it :) well actually i think it's the commercial one that's bad i think normal openvz doesn't limit Yeah, OpenVZ has its place... eg I run some smallish internal services from OpenVZ. No reason to have a full VM. It's basically a jail that's much simpler to configure. But for a "VPS" nooooo I avoid that shit like the plague haha well run virtuozzo stuff isn't too bad just see way too many awful hosts using openvz and not knowing wtf they're doing "Get rich quick" yeah high tenant density, low investment hope people don't run away too fast hit that magic $2/mo pricepoint for 512 or 1024MB and rake in the bux I think that more often than not, you have to worry about the owners running before the customers in those "get rich quick run openvz" scenarioos http://www.shodanhq.com/ ever seen this? maybe brycec: owners running, lol. it's true. it is so frustrating watching my wife play video games :| she's playing "South Park: The Stick of Truth" nice Luckily for #arpnetworks, up_the_irons is too fat to run *rimshot* (j/k) you gonna take that, up_the_irons? wut what would Iron Maiden do? Rock out? UP THE IRONS bbl i'm not fat ;) I didn't really think so. I believe I've seen some photos of you on your Flickr :p brycec is creepin :) http://1drv.ms/1gfoZJU highlight of my day heh up_the_irons: any update on the level3 connection? (just out of curiosity) i'm getting the LOA for x-conn soon ahh ok up_the_irons: how do trit, he.net, nlayer and other transit providers bill you? Based on bandwidth? Port Speed or 95th percentile? 95th so bringing in a new transit like level3 who will distribute your overall load could possibly reduce the bills from the other transits? no because there are minimums i should say it is 95% billing _with_ a commitment; you can't commit to 0 Mbps so if traffic is under your commit, you still pay the full commitment price i have to commit to 100 Mbps on all circuits to get GigE ports that traffic in total is way more than I need but what can ya do... right.. whats the cost per mbit like? nvm .. you probably can't disclose specific figures up_the_irons: you can buy off someone who aggregates? :) but yeah not much you can do. mnathani: it's probably in the 0.50 to $3.00 range per megabit for he.net vs level3 actually i have a feeling level3 is cheaper than it used to be. but then there are port fees on top of that so really it's best to use more bandwidth and have more customers up_the_irons: are you paying for in+out 95th percentile or the maximum of the two? i'm not even sure heh i never go above the min curious even with that ntp exploit? i didn't let the ntp exploit last long enough oh yeh it seemed like ages but it was like a day or two wasn't it? ppl on twitter complain that i blocked all ntp, well fuck 'em, i tell 'em to pay my bandwidth bill and then i'll leave it open ;) interesting well, it started slow i wouldn't think most people would notice it was like a ramp they did ppl get sensitive like that ;) yeh i'd complain if you block icmp :/ lol btw, can't buy off someone who aggregates cuz the networks discourage that (they want *you* as the customer) bbl ahh ok they can make more money that way :/ http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1350362 mnathani: that thread suggests normal pricing is $10/megabit i imagine most people don't pay normal pricing though the jist looks like 1 gig on 10 gigabit is ~ $3.5usd/megabit + tax and 100 megabit is much more and to get sharp pricing you're meant to buy more than a gigabit commit up_the_irons: people complained about ntp filtering? geez. s/j/g/ the gist looks like 1 gig on 10 gigabit is ~ $3.5usd/megabit ...err? oh hahah i don't know why that confused me 1 gig commit is that what confused? i really thought it wsa cheaper than that no, the sed replace of j w/g just didn't notice what was replaced, guess my brain did it automatically oh i see i don't type that word often :/ wikitionary lists it an as alternative spelling :/ so why's it pronounced jist and spelt gist. the english langugae confuses hmm, i suppose it's similar to git, where some people say ghit, and some people say jit for the revision control, not for an idiot hahaha mercutio: as a *rare* alt spelling :P haha mercutio: 'g' as in 'giuseppe' so there :P say what Italian has soft-g too gist, giuseppe, etc yo mammy oh apparently git comes from beget i find lots of computer things seem to encourage people to pronounce alternatively so do i is that not normal? i usually prounce tiff "t i f f" as well A resistance to change? Yes, totally normal :P err prononunce mercutio: you spell it out? yeah if speaking verbally yes To differentiate from the noun? partially because not everyone knows what it is haha and the spelling isn't obvious and probably partially because it reminds me of iff which i also spelt out UPS (as in power) - phoneticize or spell out as an acronym? I instinctively spelled out i.f.f. spell out every time spelled out Same with the delivery service... thank you hahahah yeah as a non american i find it confusing that there is UPS and USPS it makes me cringe a little when people say UPPZ and that UPS is 4x as expensive haha, it's not htough though i trust UPS or Fedex more than USPS for packages mercutio: as an american, it's still confusing. to here, from america i'd rather go with fedex or dhl but usps is better value "value" I don't think I'd agree with that statement. well usps has better tracking for some reason whatever the internet seems tos ays seems to say i use fedex unless i get a prepaid label for UPS or USPS it integrates with normal postal tracking here, ... so can use local tracking, or the remote tracking to find more detail of where it is in US "normal postal tracking" as in, tracking is normal? whereas dhl and fedex have icky pages umm nz post which is the normal postal carrier here although, for some reason they hand registered mail to couriers to deliver. Trying to understand if you mean that your postal carrier offers tracking normally/default, or if you mean that it's integrated into their own tracking (web form, or whatever) it's integrated to their own tracking well .. all country code stuff of XXNNNNNNNNNNXX is yea, i've seen that w/international parcels that use USPS for local delivery i can see all the tracking stuff til delivery like it's native, but it's coming in from whatever partner service/courier is being used yeh they must have interconnects General consensus, at least among the people I read and converse, is that US Postal is basically dead, and practically worthless. USPS transfers to Canada Post when delivering to Canadian destinations it may be for local delivery but for international from US it seems to work well. https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction.action?tLabels=9405510200986217502529 100% of that tracking showed up after the package was actually delivered well i'd prefer fedex probably it didn't show up at all til i had a box at my door but it costs way more :/ Also, shipping parcels UPS/FedEx is a lot simpler yeah. i have a fedex acct. i sign in, fill in the address, print my label and stick it on the box https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction.action?tLabels=LN049979968US lol m0unds been there m0unds: ditto. staticsafe: tycho? yea brycec: well i wasn't really thinking of how hard it is to send Well, company has the account... that's what mine was too, lol i picked up the cd today from the mailbox right on we have a few couriers here, and a local auction site like ebay and one of the couriers is extra bad, and most people use them... cos they're cheap hahaha Sounds like US Postal here :P Actually, there are worse. heh OnTrac is the best of the crap third-party couriers isn't usps mostly just slow? depends on the class of svc first class international and priority mail And the biggest bureacratic pile of... Yeah. And confusing as fuck. which seem to be the same thing see, i rarely ship internationally but priority mail is essentially guaranteed to arrive in 3 days err priority mail international i mean FedEx Ground, Express Saver, 2-day, overnight. SO SIMPLE. oh hmm hahahaha, yup so it should be sent from the US within 3 days? i've seen it take longer than taht! i'm talking domestically within the us 10 days from PA to NY oddly enough, fedex ground from NM -> NC is ~3-4 days and is the same price or cheaper than priority mail haha oh hangon 5 days then 5 days to new zelaand i read wrong line paddleboat hmm, the 5th day is a sunday so at least it seems they do stuff on sundays m0unds: ups is cheaper domestically? oh fed ex yea, and it just drafts from my credit card so when i go to work, i just swing by fedex office and drop it off, no lines or anything it's nice what i want to see is international prices for freight matching china :/ i still don't understand how they can sell items for $1 USD including delivery when seding a small thing domestically costs that here let alone having anything in it, and ebay fees we do at work, but i can't ship personal stuff from our dock here humm, why did my openbsd reboot... about 3 hours ago i still don't understand how they can sell items for $1 USD including delivery china post or w/e pays the shipping pretty much
