s1.lax uptime is 6 years, 17 hours, 48 minutes
just sayin'...
So, s1.lax was last rebooted back in 2009. A lot has happened since then
yeah - wasn't the berlin wall torn down since then?
huh?
oh was that a joke?
Pretty sure RandalSchwartz is old enough to remember the Berlin Wall's actual coming-down
Or maybe he's too old and is getting forgetful in his twilight years.
hbahaha
I was 5 when it was torn down
I was of a similar age
it happened in like 89 right?
nov 9, 1989
you were 5?  Tykes. :)
in 89... I was 28
and yes, it was a joke
pfff.. in 89 i wasn't even born
>:|
you're not supposed to make me feel old
ant: srsly ant, now i feel old
srsly
i was.. 10
heh
And nowadays, all these kids that were born in the '90s are now legit adults in the workforce, and I'm just like 'wtf'
up_the_irons: Haven't heard anything on the host system upgrades lately. How goes?
brycec: haven't done 'em in a while.   i think i want to do 14.04 upgrades now, but i need to do all the puppet config.  very time consuming.
Life happened I gather
brycec: lol you're right about the '90s kids
I happen to be of an age that 90's kids were only just freshman when I was in my sr. year, so I've always regarded them as "super young"
yeah
soon it will be 00's kids.
I know, right?
i don't know much about current kids, but i do know that tablets and phones and so on are "normal" for them now.
I don't understand kids and their language these days... Terms like "bae" and "on fleek"
GET OFF MY LAWN
so like they can't imagine a time without internet
and without being connected.
that said things haven't really changed /that/ much
I was in the last generation (give or take) to do schoolwork and research withOUT the Internet
like people had cb radios and walkie talks and stuff ages ago
discmans..
I'd argue that social dynamics have changed enormously
it's just way more widespread and easier now
well yeah dynamics have changed
now days i kind of expect someone to ring me before seeing me, but i never used to
even if you're in the area, it's just so much easier to have a short phone call
i dont' see a big change though?
it's distressing to see kids less than 12 years old w/smartphones
a lot of kids can't function without some electronic device in front of them - reading seems much rarer
m0unds: Tycho spring tour \o/
booked my ticket already, March 28
m0unds: it's normal now though
16:19:07              ⤷ | i dont' see a big change though?
You see a change afterall ;P
well it's a small change rather than a great change to my mind
90's kid reporting in
i wonder where things will go in 15 years time
maybe changing hair colours with your phone
staticsafe: awesome. have you seen tycho before?
mercutio: normal doesn't mean it's not going to cause developmental issues
(i think it will)
m0unds: nope, i couldn't get tickets for their last tour
m0unds: yeh it probably iwll
you'll love it. the video aspect is awesome.
like nintendo thumb
but for the mind
more adhd etc
yea, i've already seen it in some of our friends' kids
staticsafe: my wife and i were going to try to catch them in denver, but she's working :/
aw
i was pretty adhd'ish as a kid
well borderline
but it seems to be about the new norm now
sweet, openbsd is doing smp for network stuff
tinet have interesting reverse dns lookups, like 77.67.69.90
err 98
damn i need bigger text
77.67.69.98
Interesting because... it's just a TLD?
yeh
and tinet/gtt/nlayer/whatever are huge now
and they can't even get dns right.  it seems they put a . on the end, and named it strangely too.
Wonder if it's intentional or someone just goofed their zone file
Well, all names in DNS end in .
well as much as it's confusing, most people use xe and location and so on
but in bind if you stick a . in it won't put the domain in
Right, handy shortcut
Still evaluates out to "blah.stuff.com."
so yeah the . is probably what's not doing the suffix
but it's still a weird prefix
if you have domain stuff.com and an entry of blah.
(assuming your origin, or you're beneath, is stuff.com)
then it'll be just "blah" not blah.stuff.com
 ping www
And everything below will be fucked over, I believe
PING www.meh.net.nz (202.49.71.57) 56(84) bytes of data.
% ping www.
ping: unknown host www.
it stops normal search path stuff too
(below, in the zone file)
Well yeah, the Internet's top-most domain is '.'
that's why all FQDN's end in '.'
indicates there's nothing higher
i don't like search paths myslef.
but i still have one heh
