[00:00] <acf_> "However, a critical detail was overlooked in that backbone provider GTT/nLayer was doing the majority of the heavy lifting for CloudFlare." [00:00] <mercutio> (usually you'll hit a peered connection when browsing hosted sites) [00:00] <mercutio> yeah but i see ntt :) [00:00] <mercutio> maybe ntt do flowspec now [00:00] <acf_> so GTT was integral to the CloudFlare implementation at one point [00:00] <BryceBot> TO THE CLOUD!!! [00:00] <acf_> that's interesting [00:01] <mercutio> https://njetwork.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/mitigating-ddos-attacks-with-bgp-flow-specification/ [00:01] <mercutio> The specification was written by guys from Cisco, Juniper, Arbor Networks and NTT America, but only Juniper implements it at the time of writing. [00:01] <mercutio> so yeah maybe ntt are implementing it now [00:02] <mercutio> but yeah now they're not, and they're hosting on cloudflare, and they can't handle ddos?? [00:02] <mercutio> that anti ddos protection crap at the beginning is like soimething to enable when you're under active ddos attack to try and reduce traffic [00:06] <acf_> that seems like it would be expensive to implement on all of your network's routers [00:06] <acf_> if you're NTT and you have a bunch of customers [00:06] <acf_> and you have to deal with all of their firewall rules [00:06] <acf_> like rate limiting individual traffic streams? [00:06] <acf_> seems like that has to be stateful, for each stream [00:07] <acf_> > then rate-limit 1m; [00:07] <mercutio> i have never looked into it tbh [00:34] <mercutio> :666 blackhole stops most ddos attacks. [00:34] <mercutio> err blackhole community, it is noramlly called 666 as that's the community number standard :) [02:04] *** RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [07:01] *** RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks [07:01] *** RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Changing host) [07:01] *** RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks [07:41] *** djkrikke-2 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [08:27] *** medum has left [08:27] *** djkrikke-2 has joined #arpnetworks [11:19] *** djkrikke-2 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [14:25] <grody> my isp has an extremely effective ddos detection [14:26] <grody> as soon as they see traffic being sent down your line faster than it is connected, they simply sever you (they also have means to filter certain types of dos too) [14:26] <grody> realisticly end users can only hope for that, at least if i get shunted offline i can log into their panels and see why im offline [14:29] <grody> after much playing (and subtle hair loss) - i have found my solution - debian & xen [14:29] <grody> hyper-v is nice n all, quite fast for freebsd guests - but no way of vga passthru on my system by looks [14:30] <grody> just need to get a way for debian to give me an option to go full X and only run the background guests (that need no head), or to choose windows passthru & background guests and leave the host idle for ssh [14:36] <acf_> the Level3 trunk is acting strange [14:42] <mercutio> grody: have you tired that alternative to vnc [14:42] <mercutio> uhh spice [14:45] <grody> have been reading about that [14:45] <mercutio> it's a lot nicer [14:45] <grody> have been using the sdl interface vs vnc [14:45] <mercutio> ahh ok i haven't palyed with that [14:46] <grody> it's faster in general, but if you lose that window, you kill the vm [14:46] <mercutio> spice is fast over lan [14:46] <mercutio> i can't remember what it's like over internet [14:46] <grody> ahh i'll be running everything locally [14:47] <mercutio> well it's still worth a shot [14:47] <mercutio> by fast i mean web browsing on windows was good from linux :) [14:47] <mercutio> like scrollign was good even [14:52] <mercutio> for some reason most remote video still scrolls terribly [15:01] <RandalSchwartz> I did it! I hacked my first fbsd ports Makefile! [15:02] <RandalSchwartz> p5-Business-ISBM required a newer ExtUtils::Makemaker, so I added that to my BUILD_DEPENDS [15:02] * RandalSchwartz does a happydance [15:03] <RandalSchwartz> now to submit that patch back upstream [15:03] <mercutio> i had heaps of problems with freebsd ports back when i used freebsd as a desktop :/ [15:03] <mercutio> it seemed that any given time lots of things were out of sync [15:03] <mercutio> there was no stable branch? [15:03] <mercutio> i haven't had any issues recently with much less ports used though [15:04] <mercutio> but they always seem to change dependencys around for versions [15:04] <mercutio> mind you that was mostly with things like gnome etc [15:05] <RandalSchwartz> stable what? [15:05] <mercutio> like when doing cvs upgrade on the ports tree [15:06] <RandalSchwartz> well - it claims it needs perl 5.18, which probably has the required module in core [15:06] <mercutio> you don't have release tagged versions, it just constantly updates. [15:06] <RandalSchwartz> EUMM is one of those "dual-tagged" modules [15:06] <RandalSchwartz> both a core version, and a version in CPAN [15:06] <RandalSchwartz> I'm still running 5.16, so I had to "upgrade" my EUMM [15:06] <RandalSchwartz> but poudriere always starts with a clean slate [15:08] <RandalSchwartz> this is the first time that has been a problem. :) [15:08] <RandalSchwartz> I built EUMM 7.04, and that's what's installed on my host machine [15:09] <RandalSchwartz> but poudriere used the 5.16 perl stock EUMM, and p5-Business-ISBN hated that [15:09] <mercutio> hmm [15:09] <mercutio> i think i have perl 5.20 [15:09] <mercutio> well on linux [15:09] <mercutio> i've got no idea what perl has been changing in their new versions [15:09] <RandalSchwartz> perldoc perldelta :) [15:30] <mercutio> ahh i have 5.20.2 [15:30] <mercutio> lots of little things? [15:30] <mercutio> Errno has been upgraded from version 1.20_03 to 1.20_05. [15:30] <mercutio> that means nothing to me for instance [15:35] <RandalSchwartz> it means nothing to me either. :) [15:35] <RandalSchwartz> it probably means they fixed some bugs. [15:35] <RandalSchwartz> the perldelta has a lot of insignificant noise. [15:56] <mercutio> it seems to be mostly language and unicode improvements [15:57] <mercutio> err and fixes [16:05] <RandalSchwartz> what does a freebsd ABI look like? [16:05] <RandalSchwartz> as in, in pkg.conf, ${ABI} [16:06] <RandalSchwartz> ahh... like this: freebsd:8:x86:64 [16:11] <RandalSchwartz> I should name my poudriere jails like that too then [16:15] <RandalSchwartz> hmm. that doesn't look like anything in uname -a [16:15] <RandalSchwartz> I wonder how you get the ABI [16:15] <RandalSchwartz> I could look at the source of pkg, I guess... since it parses pkg.conf with that var [16:19] <RandalSchwartz> Oh... geez. pkg gets it literally by reading the elf info from /bin/sh [16:21] <RandalSchwartz> pkg query '%o %q' can show you the same ABI string too [16:46] <mercutio> that souunds dirty [16:46] <BryceBot> That's what she said!!

[19:03] <JC_Denton> that has to be like the dumbest flight ever [19:03] <RandalSchwartz> speaking of oakland, I had to pick up my girlfriend once at OAK and her flight was "alaska 404". I was wondering if I would see "flight not found" [19:03] <JC_Denton> i actually discovered OAK recently and quite like it [19:03] <mercutio> randal: don't they separate international and domestic terminals there? [19:03] <RandalSchwartz> apparently this was 1985 [19:03] <RandalSchwartz> probably more ways to make mistakes :) [19:03] <RandalSchwartz> US doesn't have any exit customs [19:04] <RandalSchwartz> so it could have been all from same terminal [19:04] <mercutio> jc: don't people regularly fly between los angeles and san francisco? [19:04] <mercutio> i don't know where oakland is though [19:05] <mercutio> oh it's one bridge away [19:05] <RandalSchwartz> Oh... might have been originated in Sac [19:05] <mercutio> 23 minutes by car apparently [19:05] <mercutio> where's santa clara hmm [19:05] <RandalSchwartz> more details - http://articles.latimes.com/1985-04-03/local/me-28522_1_europe-vacation [19:06] <mercutio> oh santa clara is a bit further away [19:06] * grody somehow ended up installing windows 10 TP to play with [19:06] <RandalSchwartz> Ahhh yeah, from LAX [19:06] <RandalSchwartz> either to auckland or oakland [19:06] <mercutio> grody: i have windows 10. what do you think? [19:06] <RandalSchwartz> and he was still in internatil [19:06] <grody> not bah [19:06] <grody> bad* [19:06] <grody> it's pretty damned fast on this thing too [19:06] <mercutio> grody: windows 10 feels faster than windows 2008 did to me [19:07] <mercutio> but it's got a few annoying bugs. [19:07] <mercutio> like it keeps wanting me to do an update, but there's no update, and i have to click postpone. [19:07] <grody> not had that [19:07] <mercutio> but like if playing a game or something, it'll pop up taking over :/ [19:07] <mercutio> i didn't used to have it, it started at some point [19:07] <mercutio> also it boots into this thing saying whether you want to roll back every boot [19:07] <mercutio> this was "upgraded" to build 9926 [19:08] <grody> just finished playing with miracast [19:08] <mercutio> i dunno if that makes any diff [19:08] <mercutio> also they keep updating the amd video drivers recently, and the most recent ones seem buggy [19:08] <grody> swmbo was watching TV, then i just took it over with IE on youtube [19:08] <mercutio> and i have to unplug/replug my monitor to a different slot sometimes [19:08] <mercutio> or the secreen is all garbled. [19:08] <grody> ah i installed the ones off AMD site [19:09] <mercutio> so yeah a few annoying issues, but nothing corrupting data or anything [19:09] <grody> didnt find 2D was all that [19:09] <mercutio> really? [19:09] <grody> plus a few windows 8 drivers for a few other specifics which has gotten everything working [19:09] <mercutio> i'm pretty sure they're including the real amd drivers now. [19:09] <grody> i think so, but was no opencl :> [19:09] <mercutio> oh [19:10] *** djkrikke-2 has joined #arpnetworks [19:10] <mercutio> i don't know what programs use opencl [19:10] <mercutio> i found some opencl test which didn't work on linux [19:10] <mercutio> but it all seemed rather complicated. [19:10] <grody> it also allows swapping to video ram in some scenarios [19:10] <grody> boinc uses it too [19:11] <mercutio> i don't know that program [19:12] <mercutio> i was kind of hoping more things would be accelerated by now [19:13] <mercutio> my amd cpu is so much slower than g3258 [19:13] <grody> aye, i have seen some databases being offloaded [19:13] <mercutio> oh? [19:13] <grody> but would have hoped to shunt a virtual machine or most of it's load off on it [19:13] <mercutio> i think amd's lack of memory bandwidth and high latency kind of hurt [19:14] <mercutio> like the g3258 has way faster memory speed [19:14] <mercutio> for the same clock rate [19:15] <grody> http://highscalability.com/scaling-postgresql-using-cuda [19:16] <grody> there are some apps in debian & mint that are poc of similar [19:16] <mercutio> oh curious. [19:16] <mercutio> i got that library thingy for doing stuff going [19:16] <mercutio> for amd's hybrid mode or whtaever thing they call it [19:16] <mercutio> hsa? [19:16] <mercutio> the demo thing ran [19:16] <mercutio> but i couldn't find anything useful to run with it [19:17] <grody> hm [19:17] <grody> grub will boot linux in secondary partitions, right? [19:17] <mercutio> i think so, i use uefi [19:18] <grody> fbsd in primary (with secondaries in container), windows in another primary, debiab in another with LVM then a few small to tinker with in secondaries off the last space for primary [19:18] <grody> this bios/efi is weird.. it's a bios, but supports secure boot and a uefi console, but noting fancy [19:19] <grody> freebsd's uefi boot barfs the screen like esxi does [19:20] <grody> so far only archlinux seems to utilize the uefi boot (as does windows) properly [19:21] <grody> see how long it is until i break this...
