ChanServ sets mode: +o toddf brycec: So only $$$ not $$$$ ? m0unds: yup
less than $1500
that's better than $7500 for sure brycec: m0unds: So what was it - capacitor? m0unds: capacitor, condenser fan motor
capacitor is barely within spec, so i told him to r&r - also, he saw the leak the previous tech noted on the prev inspection and i asked him to fix that
so the bulk of the cost is the labor and refrigerant since they have to pump it out to fix the leaky schrader valve brycec: Heh I often think I should do HVAC work
"If it's not the compressor, it's a cap. if it's nto a cap, it's the condensor." m0unds: hvac could be fun
i like trade stuff
i think if i ever get sick of doing IT-related things, i'd probably look into going to trade school for electrical or hvac or something brycec: Agreed. And some days, it's more appealing than others... m0unds: yeah brycec: Though, I used to live in Phoenix, and doing HVAC work there would suck. m0unds: hahaha
yeah, for sure
climates where people shouldn't be living = no
hahaha
cold or hot brycec: I've come to enjoy living up north
Snow etc m0unds: yeah
i get snow here because of the elevation, but not much rain brycec: Today's high is 83, then it's going to drop 10-20 degrees over the next couple of days. m0unds: when my wife finishes her work contract, we'll probably look into moving somewhere else brycec: Also: cold climate == excuse to run servers in the house m0unds: hahaha brycec: At least 50% of my winter heating was from exhaust heat. m0unds: nice
i had to shut down my storage server because it's been shot hot w/no functioning AC
shot? so hot. brycec: At times, I had to leave my office window open to cool it down even. m0unds: ugh
hahaha -: brycec felt weird to have windows open while snow fell brycec: lol I understood "shot" I know a guy who abbreviates that way, pretty good -> pgood m0unds: yeah, i've done similar - just put cardboard in the return in my office/computer room
but i said shot hot, haha
so hot hot i guess brycec: atm machine
nic card
etc m0unds: i just want winter to come back brycec: Nah didn't even need directed airflow - was just cooling down the whole room. (Also, servers were opposite of the window)
Me too :)
Not that summer is bad, but summer = bugs
Though, at least in the summer, my fingers don't get cold and stiff and make typing nigh-impossible[10:03] <m0unds> oh, i blocked my return because i didn't want the furnace pulling in chilled air (when i had my window open, it dropped room temps to 60 or lower) m0unds: all the bedrooms in my house have ducted returns brycec: I've since moved my servers out from the office (second bedroom) into the living room (big room, vaulted ceilings) so lots of airspace m0unds: nice brycec: I have no central heating/cooling :P m0unds: our downstairs runs pretty cool when we have AC - typically 70 downstairs and 80 upstairs
without AC, 85 downstairs and 90+ upstairs
haha brycec: Yeah. I'm not a fan of the noise (bad pun unintended), but I'm not in the living room much. And soon, I hope to have that drive shelf setup to only come online as-needed.
(Xserve RAID - those things are not quiet...) m0unds: right brycec: One of these days, I'll get things scripted to power it on, mount/import it, transfer backups over, then unmount/export and power it back off
That will be COOL
Near-side cold storage, sorta m0unds: i've never worked with xserve stuff before brycec: And you're not likely too since it's been discontinued :P
Apple carried on the name for their servers, but dropped the RAID shelf line m0unds: only one person i know worked w/their server gear in any capacity brycec: (Talk about loud - the xserves themselves are deafening) m0unds: and it's because his predecessor was crazy about apple stuff and believed you couldn't use anything but apple servers on a network with any other apple devices
my supermicro stuff is pretty loud - 4u and 1u chassis'
the 1us have those tiny little 40mm or 30mm fans that just howl brycec: PWM driver is broken too, so the turbines are running 100% at all times
Fortunately, that xserve is in the warehouse at work and doesn't bother me :) m0unds: yuck
do you run OSX on your storage server? brycec: lol no. At home, my storage stuff is FreeBSD
and the xserveraid is just a disk shelf for me (JBOD)
The xserve g5s I talk about I keep at work as hobby stuff, because I have a soft spot for ppc, sparc, and mips m0unds: gotcha
jbod disk shelf for zfs or something?
we're budgeting for a pair of ixsystems storage servers next year
need to get separate stuff for incident/evidence backup brycec: Yeah, ZFS on it
<3 ZFS m0unds: yeah, good stuff brycec: The aforementioned server has has 20 drives in it, plus a fibrechannel card connected to the xserveg5, providing me with something akin to hot and cold storage pools m0unds: cool ***: Guest9057 is now known as pjs

But simply seems to be a read-only replication stream from your router
And then a little bgplg/bgpctl glue

cw1972 has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: i did mention the openbsd looking glass was simple before :)
openbsd has dropped apache out of base though, so any old tutorial is probably not relevant
err 100% relevant brycec: It's pretty easy to hook up a CGI script to nginx though. I'm sure someone like up_the_irons doesn't need the hand-holding, just the general ideas mercutio: heh
i've never actually touched nginx yet :) -: brycec <3 nginx mercutio: i suppose most people hav enow? brycec: I used to <3 lighttpd, then I met nginx mercutio: i still don't know how it's better than lighttpd brycec: I think Apache is still 90% of the global market
nginx and lighttpd are pretty similar, especially compared to the likes of Apache
Though I find nginx to be smoother and easier (faster, more descriptive config linting for instance)
Mostly, I stick to nginx (over lighttpd) because it's what's in base ***: cw1972 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
cw1972 has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: pkg_add lighttpd is pretty simple though :) brycec: It's less about "ease" and more about what OpenBSD has put their weight behind
"endorsement" if you will m0unds: is lighttpd still actively developed, or is it down to just security fixes at this point? -: m0unds also loves nginx ***: cw1972 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 244 seconds)
cw1972 has joined #arpnetworks brycec: It's hard to tell... one the one hand, their last "preview release" (1.5.0) was 4 years ago, but they have also been slipping in some features along with the bug fixes (see http://www.lighttpd.net/2013/9/27/1-4-33/)
(the release before that was November 2012) mercutio: it's not very active
neither was apache 1 though :) ***: z310 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
z310 has joined #arpnetworks m0unds: haha
i guess, by contrast, nginx is extremely active mercutio: does it have tcp fast open support?
it's easy to add if it doesn't
it's abuot the only feautre i want to see atm :)
i hacked it into lighttpd, and i could notice the difference with cacti
but it's linux only, and chrome has buggy support of it. ***: dferris_ has joined #arpnetworks

yeah it's kind of a newish thing
with hardly any adoption other than google it seems brycec: http://hg.nginx.org/nginx/rev/692afcea9d0d Apparently requires a recent Linux kernel mercutio: but the same concept can help more than just http
it could make ssh login quicker etc too
not very recent i think
i was playing with it first a year or two ago
i did find something curious, some international stuff didn't benefit as much as it should for larger files
i think it's some kind of automatic bandwidth shaping stuff or such
like short page with 160 ms rtt was like 160msec
err was like 170 for the second
longer pay with or without tcp fast open averaged more ilke 120msec or such dfiference
i nede to test again :)
i was trying to modify my curl implementation to work with smokeping so i could test properly. ***: z310 has joined #arpnetworks
