brycec: (Exactly what was suggested ;) )
Except I suggest using a decent MTA <.<
>.> up_the_irons: meh i like postfix jlgaddis: yeah, i've been using postfix for ~10 years and sendmail for ~10 years before that. no desire to learn something new, especially since i've gotten postfix down pretty well. ***: milki has quit IRC (Quit: Changing server) brycec: I'd used postfix and exim for 5-10 years each. Recently I've gotten into OpenSMTPD and I'm really, really loving it (obviously). There's a lot of doodads that exim/postfix can do that it cannot, but for 99% of my uses, it does it and it's simpler. And so I preach it. (But still using exim on most boxes, because it's Debian's default package, and their dpkg-reconfigure makes it pretty dang easy too) mercutio: exim still confuses me
i hardly ever look at it, but the logs are more confusing than postfix when i do.
i used to like exim when i hardly had any ram though. it can run from inetd and as a single process.
but now all the unix seem to have lots of random processes, and so postfix having a few extra processes is hardly noticable. brycec: I find exim's queue management tools to be the best. exiqgrep et al ftw ***: milki has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: maybe i should look at the queue management side
i just look at logs brycec: mercutio: http://bradthemad.org/tech/notes/exim_cheatsheet.php So very handy ***: SpeedBus has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: ahh cool

I even have a hard fail -all on mine mercutio: i have hard fail on mine too ***: RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) mhoran: Yeah considering you can soft fail SPF I think it's pretty useless. -: mhoran sets the example with ~all. brycec: "It's only useless because nobody uses it." :p staticsafe: -all on all my domains mercutio: ~all is meant to be for testing mhoran: Sure. But unfortunately there are too many third party services built by folks who abuse From vs Sender headers for one to practically enable -all and still receive important mail. ***: RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks -: RandalSchwartz waves

simpler way brycec: And a better source
@exch 300 USD CUC BryceBot: brycec, I didn't recognize 'CUC'. RandalSchwartz: heh
CUC is legally USD right now brycec: Neither did I, BryceBot RandalSchwartz: excepnt no bank will do that
dollars from tourists are used to pay for oil in venezuela
2/3 of the oil is paid in dollars
the rest in CUCs
.vz then trades the dollars on the market, and gets their value back
but now, with more US coming to Cuba, that might exceed the .vz oil pay
the bigger problem is .cu infrastructure not set up for 5 times tourist
and that's what's more or less allowed now
we were in a public/private venture hotel sponsored by a local cigar company

mnathani_ has joined #arpnetworks JC_Denton: up_the_irons: bit late on the reply, but it's a dedi. i guess i'd need to look up the label on the portal.
i just think it'd be damn cool to get a photo and maybe promote ARP a bit :) up_the_irons: JC_Denton: i'm a budding amateur photographer; i'd love to give you a good photo ;) JC_Denton: cool up_the_irons: JC_Denton: so, it's on the bottom row here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/130053163@N03/15710721294/
it's in the blurry part past the depth of field (in the back) mercutio: that's not so obvious from photo :) up_the_irons: mercutio: they are labeled in the back only :) mercutio: even if it was labeled in the front i dont' think it'd be easy to tell
i suppose number helps.
what do the other dedicated servers look like? up_the_irons: https://www.flickr.com/photos/130053163@N03/16333156565/
mercutio: ^^ the 1Us there mercutio: ahh mtl03 etc.
oh
apparently i'm mtl04
well my work
wow i see how much more space efficient blades are. -: brycec is stl21 :) mercutio: what does stl stand for?
i assumed mtl was metal
steel? brycec: I have no idea... up_the_irons ? mercutio: arp metal sounds kind of cool
heh contrast: https://www.flickr.com/photos/130053163@N03/15710721294/ to https://www.flickr.com/photos/130053163@N03/16307207656/in/photostream/
similar gear, different cameras.
well supermicro both times, i assume their colour scheme is the same. brycec: I just noticed something on https://www.arpnetworks.com/dedicated -- the Starter level is 8GB and $129, Medium is 16GB for $20 more, but... an 8GB upgrade is only $10 more. Nice and linear, up_the_irons ;) mercutio: the astute will get 8gb with 8gb upgrade. brycec: indeed up_the_irons: mercutio: you're right, steel -: brycec is one of those astute types up_the_irons: mercutio: arp metal *does* sound cool, you're right ;) brycec: Nice to know, thx up_the_irons: brycec: nah, i always charge $149 for the larger one mercutio: some people probably just go "around the middle, that'll do" up_the_irons: my non-linearity stops at me saying, "no, it's still $149" brycec: heh mercutio: when hosting with steadfast they charged heaps of money for ram -: brycec still needs to get around to digging up those certs :[23:42] <mercutio> but they had an outage, and gave free ram upgrades. mercutio: but dell, hp, etc all charge heaps for ram too
it's just one of those upgrade things brycec: Is
I worked for a company that sold servers... RAM was $$$ (and we didn't rape /that/ bad)
(make/sold) mercutio: yeah arp's ram pricing is reasonable. brycec: Yep mercutio: fbdimm's came down in cost heaps on ebay a while back.
but fbdimm's have a hidden cost of using lots of power.
but ddr3 ecc unregistered ram is kind of expensive
and i imagine that's what they're using. brycec: (my favourite $rape was the fact the server used to have 1GB RAM, but the specs were silently upgraded to 2GB. Pricing was kept the same, but we still charged for the upgrade to 2GB_
) -: brycec just wanted to share that. mercutio: haha -: brycec is glad to have moved on mercutio: oh god servers with 1/2gb of ram were way worse
servers are a lot better these days :)
i remember reading about datacentres that'd use normal pc's and stick a kvm on as needed brycec: Well nothing "wrong" with that in and of itself, there is a market for it even.
(hence sites like beigeboxservers.net) mercutio: wow i found $16/month dedicated servers.
with 2gb of ram
http://joesdatacenter.com/dedicated-server-packages
i thought they might do non real servers :/ JC_Denton: up_the_irons: nice shots -- would love an up close one if you ever have the time up_the_irons: JC_Denton: wait but... those *are* really close ;)
