***: mnathani_ has joined #arpnetworks
pyvpx_ has joined #arpnetworks
pyvpx has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) up_the_irons: s1.lax uptime is 6 years, 17 hours, 48 minutes
just sayin'... ***: pyvpx_ is now known as pyvpx mnathani_: So, s1.lax was last rebooted back in 2009. A lot has happened since then ***: _Zodiac has joined #arpnetworks
_Zodiac has left RandalSchwartz: yeah - wasn't the berlin wall torn down since then? mercutio: huh?
oh was that a joke? -: brycec assumed so brycec: 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. m0unds: hbahaha
I was 5 when it was torn down brycec: I was of a similar age mercutio: it happened in like 89 right? ant: nov 9, 1989 RandalSchwartz: you were 5? Tykes. :)
in 89... I was 28
and yes, it was a joke ant: pfff.. in 89 i wasn't even born m0unds: >:|
you're not supposed to make me feel old up_the_irons: ant: srsly ant, now i feel old BryceBot: srsly up_the_irons: i was.. 10 brycec: 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? up_the_irons: 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. -: brycec nods brycec: Life happened I gather up_the_irons: brycec: lol you're right about the '90s kids brycec: 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" up_the_irons: yeah mercutio: soon it will be 00's kids. brycec: I know, right? mercutio: i don't know much about current kids, but i do know that tablets and phones and so on are "normal" for them now. brycec: I don't understand kids and their language these days... Terms like "bae" and "on fleek"
GET OFF MY LAWN mercutio: so like they can't imagine a time without internet
and without being connected.
that said things haven't really changed /that/ much brycec: I was in the last generation (give or take) to do schoolwork and research withOUT the Internet mercutio: like people had cb radios and walkie talks and stuff ages ago
discmans.. brycec: I'd argue that social dynamics have changed enormously mercutio: 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? m0unds: 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 staticsafe: m0unds: Tycho spring tour o/
booked my ticket already, March 28 mercutio: m0unds: it's normal now though brycec: 16:19:07 ⤷ | i dont' see a big change though?
You see a change afterall ;P mercutio: well it's a small change rather than a great change to my mind -: brycec disagrees staticsafe: 90's kid reporting in mercutio: i wonder where things will go in 15 years time
maybe changing hair colours with your phone m0unds: staticsafe: awesome. have you seen tycho before?
mercutio: normal doesn't mean it's not going to cause developmental issues
(i think it will) staticsafe: m0unds: nope, i couldn't get tickets for their last tour mercutio: m0unds: yeh it probably iwll m0unds: you'll love it. the video aspect is awesome. mercutio: like nintendo thumb
but for the mind
more adhd etc m0unds: 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 :/ staticsafe: aw mercutio: 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 brycec: Interesting because... it's just a TLD? mercutio: 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. brycec: Wonder if it's intentional or someone just goofed their zone file
Well, all names in DNS end in . mercutio: 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 brycec: Right, handy shortcut
Still evaluates out to "blah.stuff.com." mercutio: 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. brycec: (assuming your origin, or you're beneath, is stuff.com) mercutio: then it'll be just "blah" not blah.stuff.com
ping www brycec: And everything below will be fucked over, I believe mercutio: 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 brycec: (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 mercutio: i don't like search paths myslef.
but i still have one heh
