BryceBot: TWITTER: Maintenance window on host kvr03 will begin in about 5 minutes (Thu Nov 20 08:00:38 +0000 2014, retweeted 1 times) mnathani: actually got the SMS alert up_the_irons: hehe mercutio: bryce coded it? mnathani: Is it to upgrade the OS and provide virtio mercutio: oh
mnathani pasted it
apache doesn't compress svg by defaul ttoo
mnathani: maybe that's what he's doing? hazardous: mnathani: i expect good things from a host that defaults to postgres and the latest versions of everything
also i should point out, not sure if you care, but i had a really old drupal running that i completely forgot was still web accessible and existed
they automatically vulnpatched it based on a matching md5 or whatever and emailed me to say that it was done because it was critical
and also sent me the diff/.patch
and left a copy of the old ver in my /home with the extension .insecure mercutio: now that is cool mnathani: I can't think of any other host that would proactively monitor my old software and update it for me without even asking, so +1 for webfaction.com jlgaddis: wow
i assume you're not paying for any type of managed service so that's really cool they just did it
although, it's in their best interest to do that, tbh mnathani: Its shared hosting - unmanaged
actually they manage the os and updates, but you can run your own apps I beleive mercutio: how much were you paying?
and have you learnt not to use drupal? :) ***: LT has joined #arpnetworks hazardous: one of the nicer things is that
i can actually trust their autoinstallers
like if you just want a quick wordpress or cherrypy or django
they write all of their installer scripts inhouse
not like cpanel/fantastico
so you get an up to date version, often pulled stable off a git commit hash or something, installed properly
fantastico tends to install 15 version old hole-ridden crap and the host just tells you that it's fantastico and they can't edit anything and has to wait for vendor ***: bashas has joined #arpnetworks mnathani: hazardous: I could not find a list of all the precompiled libraries / tools they provide on thier shared platform ***: bashas has quit IRC (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

(And I am not acf_ either :P)
Nope, still haven't reversed my stance or found time. 00:02:37 mercutio | bryce coded it?
(And I don't recommend holding your breath)
Btw, interesting idea about smokeing generating svg instead of pngs
Not sure it would save much in bandwidth or disk space though... The PNGs are pretty bare already, and only generated on-demand. ***: LT has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) mercutio: brycec: i just saw the twitter coming up.
brycec: it doesn't save disk space, and minimal bandwidth, the idea is that it looks better. brycec: I figured - It's very noticeable when skimming the scrollback, as compared to reading every line and seeing the twitter url ***: neish has joined #arpnetworks
