mnathani_ has joined #arpnetworks mnathani_: my vultr vps is down :-( Packets: Sent = 60, Received = 3, Lost = 57 (95% loss) mercutio: what location?
vultr's network can be kind of bad mnathani_: New Jersey
There is a problem with the machine your VM is hosted on. Our staff are currently investigating, and will have the issue resolved ASAP.
I guess you get what you pay for mercutio: it was down for ages in japan a while back
you have to ask if you want them to credit your account for downtime.
i'm only using vultr for smokeping/bw testing though
and to have a reference point etc.
but dallas and uk have hd a few issues recently too
and sydney was screwed for ages mnathani_: I am wondering if Digial Ocean is any better? mercutio: i dunno ***: AnxiousGarlic has joined #arpnetworks

thestereobus has quit IRC (Quit: thestereobus) RandalSchwartz: I've got my $5/month DO fbsd building 8.4 and 9.3 packages now.
so when I move my ARP machine to 9.3, I'll already have all the packages built.
looks like 9.3 is now EOLed at the end of 2016... that'll be nice.
I was worried about moving all the way to 10 quickly m0unds: yeah, i kind of regret going 10.1 with this box RandalSchwartz: what was the biggest problems? m0unds: a few ports were incremented that caused issues for a couple webapps i use
more annoying/inconvenient than anything brycec: I, on the other hand, am quite happy with my FreeBSD 10 systems
(fwiw) m0unds: generally, i'm fine with it
9.x -> 10 was awful as an upgrade. clean install would likely have been a lot less of a headache for me brycec: I don't remember having any significant issues 9->10 m0unds: i upgraded pretty quickly after 10 came out to try it out, and it seemed like they had reports of the issues w/some of the upgrade process and fixed them (namely, new paths not being created)
so tons of stuff would break at boot brycec: heh m0unds: i can't believe how broken vpn support is on android 4.4.x ***: LT has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) RandalSchwartz: so, I got the goahead from the client to develop in angularjs using the google materials plugins. neat. m0unds: seeing intermittent packet loss via ipv4 again ***: sarkis_ has joined #arpnetworks

AnxiousGarlic has joined #arpnetworks
AnxiousGarlic has left up_the_irons: **kwargs, lol mercutio: so is there going to be a freebsd 9.4? brycec: Don't think so considering 9.3 is considered legacy
(and it's not listed on releng, just 10.2 and 11.0) mercutio: 10.2? brycec: https://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html November 2015 mercutio: oh it's like 8 months out acf_: zx brycec: cv acf_: up_the_irons: out of curiosity, did you end up locating the customer's switchport ***: YesThatTom has left acf_: with the 1Gbps spikes? mercutio: sweet freebsd developer is looking into freebsd 10.1 hang issue now (and can reproduce) up_the_irons: acf_: not yet, i'm pretty perplexed. i don't see those spikes today though. there was some traffic around 200 Mbps, but that's about it ***: sarkis_ is now known as sarkis mercutio: the last loss on my smokeping was about 15 hours ago ***: sarkis has quit IRC (Changing host)
sarkis has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: but m0unds said he was seeing loss 6 hours ago
maybe unrelated. m0unds: yep, from 0900MDT -> 1100MDT up_the_irons: yeah m0unds: it would go from ipv6 to ipv4
it was weird, but it's done it two days in a row
similar timeframe too
just didn't have the opportunity to traceroute or anything yesterday because i was flying home
it wasn't as bad today as it was yesterday though. it triggered multiple svc monitoring alerts yesterday mercutio: maybe it's some new exploit
i dunno what was with gtt the other day
oh www.gtt.net isn't showing cloudfare anti-ddos page today. acf_: > 08:43 < acf_> oh super
last loss I saw m0unds: i saw packet loss at 1316mdt last time, but it was short lived

there it is^ mercutio: is there some way to cut/paste long urls with weechat/tmux?
multiline ones have the user list next to them, so you have to cut and paste 2 or 3 lines
oh wow that's severe
but 4.2.2.1 is fine acf_: I use irssi
the URL just wraps, and xfce4-terminal detects it mercutio: hmm
i'm using urxvt
hah i can press ctrl-down a lot and make the text tiny and copy
8.8.8.8 outbound path at least is routed via any2ix
i dunno about incoming path though, and google don't have looking glasses
A port of Codel exists for BSD and is available in pfsense and elsewhere.
i didn't realise fq_codel had been ported to freebsd mike-burns: Weechat 1.1 has a keybinding for re-wrapping URLs so they're easier to select or click on.
alt+l by default. m0unds: there's a weechat script you can use to call out to bitly api or whatever too mike-burns: I run that script on my work machine; my only complaint with it is that it runs in the same thread as weechat itself, so if bitly is slow, weechat is hung. m0unds: yeah, i've noticed the same thing mercutio: alt-l seems to do nothing for me
i have 1.1.1 apparently
oh i have 1.0.1 running
it's been upgraded but i haven't restarted. i had to version myself :) m0unds: nice mercutio: maybe i should restart sometime mike-burns: ^ that's the command. It toggles, apparently. mercutio: but it's only in 1.1? mike-burns: I believe so.
Feel free to try it in 1.0.1! mercutio: i can't remember how many times i tried alt-l :)
i can't see it in /key, but it's really long mike-burns: It's just between meta-k and meta-m ! mercutio: oh yeah it's not there
ther's also meta2 and meta-j-blah
226 key bindings for context "default":
bah i'll try it ***: mercutio has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
ben2 has joined #arpnetworks ben2: wow ***: ben2 is now known as mercutio mercutio: that was actually pretty painless brycec: I use urlserver, so rather than weechat depending on an external API, it serves me "shortened" URLs directly :) mercutio: it even saved all my session state :)
ok now i need another long url :) brycec: Also, alt-l has been in weechat for as long as I can remember, so... several versions. Works in 1.0.1
mercutio: like this https://wiki.opnsense.org/index.php/OPNsense:So_why_did_we_fork%3F mercutio: that's not long haha
i still don't have alt-l i think! brycec: sorry, it's the longest url I have open :P
Maybe you mapped over it, mercutio ? mercutio: nah it's just unmapped brycec: https://weechat.org/files/doc/weechat_faq.en.html#terminal_copy_paste mercutio: just need to find what it maps to
oh!
ctrl-alt select works brycec: Oh also http://dev.weechat.org/post/2014/02/16/Bare-display mercutio: or nick list at top :) m0unds: i just turn the nicklist off altogether mercutio: oh nick list at help still shows some other stuff brycec: I'm guessing mercutio your config pre-dates its addition, so it was never added/bound mercutio: yeah it's not there helpful other than knowing how many people are around in a split
i see brycec: "use /key missing to add the key" mercutio: oh that works
it even loses colour phlux: http://img.phluxbox.com/screenshots/ou2Aeh.png
no nicklist for me :) mercutio: meta2-23;3
i wonder what key that is m0unds: that's about what mine looks like phlux
just without the fancy coloration phlux: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ brycec: not bad, phlux mercutio: i have timestamps brycec: Also, avoid ownCloud at all costs. mercutio: timestamps are actually quite handy -: brycec likes timestamps too phlux: I toggle my timestamps mercutio: ahh m0unds: yeah, same here phlux: my timestamps are boring
I always color them, but I lose the color for some reason :[17:14] <phlux> Just boring ol' timestamps mercutio: every now and then i like weechat more phlux: I'm using weechat mercutio: that /upgrade -quit then doing weechat --upgrade was nice brycec: (clearly) phlux: http://img.phluxbox.com/screenshots/gei6Og.png there's a shot of the whole wm
i enabled timestamps for that one :P mercutio: hah i'm #zfsonlinux and the nick list takes up the whole screen phlux: I don't see the point of a nicklist in a cli client tbh brycec: How did I not know about /upgrade... that shit's awesome. mercutio: it's just to know big splits are phlux: I use /upgrade often
mercutio: I can see that by the nick count in the status bar :P brycec: I agree, nicklist is kinda pointless... but I still show mine, just habit. phlux: I'm on -git mercutio: oh phlux: I probably need to upgrade.. mercutio: hah zfsonlinux has 295 phlux: WeeChat 1.1-rc1 (git: v1.1-rc1-2-g966a7b5) [compiled on Dec 25 2014 00:16:01]
As you can probably tell in my full screenshot, I don't really have enough real estate on this laptop for a nicklist anyways mercutio: /bar hide nicklist
oops
i figured you had low res by your font phlux: aye mercutio: i don't think i have anything installed to take a screenshot brycec: scrot ftw mercutio: i have import brycec: Good ol ImageMagick mercutio: https://weallsee.net/screen.png
so the side nick thing wasn't taking up too much space brycec: It's always surprising when a screenshot fills my entire screen mercutio: this is after goign to lower resolution
the notion title bars need to be made smaller again :/ brycec: you monster
(for having such a hi-res display) mercutio: it's only 1440p brycec: "only" when poor phlux has < 1080p... mercutio: he's got a laptop
the keyboards on laptops are bad enough :) brycec: I like my ThinkPad's keyboard mercutio: i use mechanical keyboards. brycec: as do i mercutio: even on spare machines. brycec: doesn't mean I can't also like non-mech mercutio: yeh.
my hp laptop has terrible keyboard.
at least it has the non trackpad mouse thingy
i found 1440p to 4k really didn't help /that/ much
like you can onyl focus on so many things at once...
and you can only have text so small phlux: aye, this is a ThinkPad
I like its keyboard also CaZe: I just got a Filco Majestouch Minila.
brown switches. mercutio: i like brown
i have brown, blue, red on dfif keyboards. CaZe: I installed o-rings. mercutio: i make so many typos with red if i'm not careful.
i really should swap back to brown :/
i have o-rings too.
even the thin o-rings were good enough for me, and i split them across two keyboards...
it takes a while to pop all the keys off phlux: switches..? CaZe: I just got cheap o-rings.
$2 for a pack of 100. mercutio: i got the wasd ones.
i don't think it was terribly expensive CaZe: Probably like $10-$20. mercutio: i got them via ebay cos it's easier with paypal etc
yeh something like that
a bit more than that CaZe: The minila is a tenkeyless keyboard. It took me about 30 minutes to install the o-rings. mercutio: $17.99+$6.55 postage.
my brown keyboard is 10keyless
it was really good after i bound mouse button to enter key CaZe: I got mine on Amazon for about $2 with free shipping. mercutio: i didn't realise that i kept on pressing enter with my left thumb from mouse
i don't need numeric pad - but that enter key is really handy when browsing etc.
so i just rebound back or forward to it
caze: damn that's cheap :)
ebay i think had some from china pretty cheap.
amazon is pretty expensive for international shipping
it only really works well for fullfilled by amazon stuff too
which is most stuff. except motherboards. CaZe: http://www.amazon.com/008-Buna-N-O-Ring-Durometer-Black/dp/B000FMWLR8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1425949938&sr=8-2&keywords=buna+o-ring BryceBot: Amazon: "008 Buna-N O-Ring, 70A Durometer, Black, 3/16" ID, 5/16" OD, 1/16" Width (Pack of 100)" mercutio: This item does not ship to Auckland, New Zealand. Please check other sellers who may ship internationally. Learn more
yeah i can't get those ones

can get those though
do you like having o-rings? CaZe: Yeah, it's a lot quieter. mercutio: i was thinking about feel wise. CaZe: Ideally, you don't notice them, because you're not supposed to bottom out the key in the first place.
They're like car bumpers; ideally, you never feel them. mercutio: yeah
i press quite hard so i bottom out a bit with red.
but when i flow better i stop bottoming out so much grody: brycec, sweet
something tgey must of changed from moanibg mertkes like me :-D
i hate this keyboard mercutio: i've never found a keyboard i really loved.
i'm a lot happier with current mechanical keyboards - but i still feel they could be beter.
but laptop keyboards are just varying degrees of hate
curiously i found i can plug a mechanical keyboard into my cellphone even :) CaZe: I'd like to try Matias quiet click switches. mercutio: noise isn't a real concern for me - feedback is. CaZe: I've plugged my mouse into my phone. mercutio: tbh, i think this keyboard probably needs a clean, some of the keys press easier than others.
i just have a cheap phone, that's only 720p, but it has lte. and ssh from it with a real keyboard is quite comfortable.
s/and/but/ BryceBot: <mercutio> i just have a cheap phone, that's only 720p, but it has lte. but ssh from it with a real keyboard is quite comfortable. CaZe: If I had time or the inclination to assemble a keyboard, I'd get one of the ones that pops up on massdrop. mercutio: i mean it's a tiny screen - but lte makes ping quite bearable. and difficult keys are much easier to press with a real keyboard. ***: grody has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) CaZe: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/infinity-keyboard-kit
Something like that should be really easy to clean. ***: grody has joined #arpnetworks m0unds: i have some coolermaster mechanical w/red switches and no 10key
it's been ok, not too noisy but i don't really bottom out the keys
the key markings are lasered on the front of the keys vs the top, so you can't see them unless you look at an angle. kind of snazzy. mercutio: i stopped looking at keys when i started typing in dvorak
i often type in qwerty still, but the habit died. mnathani_: is it normal for my nginx to be missing 'sites-available' directory m0unds: i've only seen it on ubuntu (might also be on debian, but i wouldn't know) acf_: it's there on Debian mercutio: mnathani_: i don't think arch has that m0unds: it doesn't mercutio: ubuntu just copies debian packages :)
my nginx on arch has sites-available
but it's empty, m0unds: i wasn't sure about debian having it because i don't use it, i assumed that's probably why it was there mercutio: i probably copied config from ubuntu m0unds: yea
i just end up using that scheme because i'm used to it from years of ubuntu use mercutio: debian has gone to that with lots of things. i hate the new default unbound config.
they removed all the documentation from the config file, and instead just had a really cut down config
at least there's unbound.conf.example acf_: I think it depends on the package maintainer BryceBot: That's what she said!! acf_: is it?
package maintainers have a lot of room to do what they like I think mercutio: yeah lots of packages maintainers screw around a lot
sometimes you read about developers being annoyed at it
at least i did in the past
i've noticed that lots of more recent packages seem to be maintaining themselves. acf_: "maintaining themselves"? mercutio: ie the git repository will have debian/ etc directories. acf_: oh I see
I suppose that's good mercutio: and they'll be more tied in with upstream pushes.
well it's better than someone who has no idea how the code works pushing bug fixes etc.
i mean when it first came about a whole lot of people just had tarballs for their software etc.
and sometimes fixes were needed for compiling
but now days if you write code and it doesn't "just work" on ubuntu you have issues.
a lot of the larger projects have build bots and incremental changes get compiled/tested on different os's too acf_: yea mercutio: for multiple sites the sites-available/sites-enabled scheme does work pretty well acf_: I use it mercutio: for smaller configs it doesn't matter either way acf_: mercutio: you use OpenBSD a lot yeah?
I used to use it a lot, but then I got used to dpkg / apt-get mercutio: not a lot, but a bit
i use arch and ubuntu more.
but i'm familiar enough with openbsd.
and freebsd. acf_: Debian dropped SPARC support recently
which is annoying for me mercutio: damn.
openbsd's sparc support has always been pretty good acf_: yeah. so I'm trying OpenBSD and NetBSD on them
*the sparc boxen
but I'm trying to figure things out like how to manage software upgrades effectively mercutio: the last time i tried a sparc it was really slow generating ssh keys
and showing text to the console
software upgrades are a bit of a pita with openbsd tbh
there's a new openbsd binary upgrade thing that i haven't looked at yet acf_: yea, I have two sparc boxen
one runs at 600 MHz
and is currently running my IRC client mercutio: did you max out ram?
ram should be cheap now acf_: I think it has 512 MB
not sure about the max mercutio: oh not too bad then.
i hate the sparc ethernet interfaces
at least the older ones. acf_: this one uses the 'gem' driver mercutio: yeah that's one of the not so great ones acf_: I think I had trouble getting IPv6 to work over it mercutio: i think hme was the other not so great one
apparently the current openbsd hackathon is about smp acf_: probably fixing locks in various ways .. mercutio: openbsd has most things in one big lock acf_: NetBSD put a big focus on getting rid of the giant lock a while ago m0unds: yea
netbsd is pretty nice, i like it a lot acf_: I tried building gccgo on it yesterday
but the build failed :( m0unds: doh mercutio: yeah openbsd has been a bit behind on that side
at least they're doing lots of positive software development acf_: yeah, netbsd and openbsd both have clear strengths in different areas m0unds: i used netbsd as my primary server os for personal projects for a year or so
npf is pretty cool, but sparsely documented
pkgin works really well as far as binary pkg mgmt goes acf_: I remember pkgin being really great, almost like dpkg
but it doesn't seem to manage the core system m0unds: right, it's like pkgin
err
pkgng
just handles packages you install on the base system mercutio: openbsd is ilke that too
the base system doesn't have packages acf_: for openbsd, you use pkg_add et al, right? m0unds: you can use sysupgrade to help make base system updates a bit easier
but it's still kind of a pain in the ass, despite any automation their extra tools provide acf_: usually with netbsd I end up running CURRENT
sometimes the release will be really unstable, and I'll try CURRENT, and it will work great :P mercutio: heh m0unds: yeah, that was the case w/my crappy little netbook mercutio: yeah for openbsd there's pkg_add
which works pretty well tbh acf_: does it have an automatic package upgrade thing? mercutio: pkg_add -uvr
-u upgrade, -v verbose, -r recursive
err -r is replace actually acf_: does that just go through all of your installed packages and upgrade them? mercutio: yeah
you need PKG_PATH to point to the mirror
arp has a mirror :) acf_: nice mercutio: PKG_PATH=http://mirrors.arpnetworks.com/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64
so something ilke that for -current m0unds: ugh, awful network blip mercutio: and s/snapshots/5.6/ for 5.6
m0unds: damn you still having issues
mtr time! m0unds: it stopped again mercutio: m0unds: just leave a mtr running in tmux?
that's what i normally do if there are issues that come and go acf_: m0unds: how do you see it? just notice ssh slows down? m0unds: the only problem is that i can't get connected to the box at all when it takes a hit like that
keystrokes stop registering
can't ping the vm acf_: ah m0unds: ssh sessions drop mercutio: m0unds: but if you connect to it when you can connect to it, and run tmux, and start a mtr to your hoem connection you can get to it later acf_: I've been seeing ~50%, not 100% mercutio: what kvr are you on? m0unds: 3 i think mercutio: 3 has been having issues. m0unds: has it? mercutio: yeah. m0unds: yea, i'm on 3 mercutio: yeah it seems isolated to 3.
so yeah mtr won't help, and yeh, it pauses for ages.
ssh should recover, but it can take quite a while m0unds: yep, it's super annoying mercutio: it's dropping pretty hard rather than being really jerky. acf_: up_the irons mentioned s8.lax recently m0unds: how long has it been doing that? mercutio: m0unds: a couple of days m0unds: ah mercutio: it's different from the other issue that hits more people, it's more frequent too :( acf_: he said that the 1 Gbps spikes came dedicated customer was connected to s8.lax m0unds: ah acf_: is that a new switch or something? mercutio: it's the new router
s1 is the old router which most people are connected to. acf_: ah really! I hadn't heard about it
what model? mercutio: cisco
i actually can't remember acf_: so is he trying to phase out s7.lax
the pos mercutio: i'm sure it was discussed sometime.
ohhh
hangon
i got confused between s7/s8
s8 is a switch i think
i don't think s7 is being phased out! m0unds: just grepped my logs: 2014-08-19 01:19:20 @up_the_irons acf_: yes, Metal customers get 1 Gbps to s1.lax, through a pair of Foundry switches (s8.lax and s9.lax). acf_: ah, makes sense, thanks m0unds: sho 'nuff mercutio: i wonder if cddp is on brycec: I disagree, upgrading OpenBSD is really, really simple and easy. Boot to the new ISO/ramdisk, or if you're daring you can unpack the updates in a live system. Once unpacked, reboot to the new kernel/binaries, sysmerge to update configs, and pkg_add -ui Then again, I guess having done this two-dozen times in the last month it seems easy... but I think it's pretty objectively simple.
Also, the new "right" way is /etc/pkg.conf's installbase= mercutio: brycec: i'm talking about for fixes betwen releases. brycec: rather than defining PKG_PATH environment mercutio: oh i didn't know about that installbase thing brycec brycec: (I also set ntogo=yes)
mercutio: the errata stuff? that's easy too. Especially with mtier
*mtier's "openup" tool mercutio: well there's stp, but that doesn't tell me what switch plugged into brycec: (M:tier package up the errata updates and it's just a pkg_add -u then.)
s/dd/d/ BryceBot: <brycec> (M:tier package up the errata updates and it's just a pkg_ad -u then.) mercutio: brycec: i really should look at mtier brycec: You really should :P mercutio: oh nice. brycec: http://www.mtier.org/solutions/apps/openup/ mercutio: does it support -current? brycec: No
But that would be silly mercutio: *cough*
i have old systems, and -current system brycec: If you're running -current, you just install the latest snaps. mercutio: yeah i do sometimes.
i don't have muuch open anyway brycec: There's no errata for -current m0unds: oh, that's neat (mtier openup) mercutio: yeah i thought it may update binaries, but actually the kernel stuff complicates that with openbsd. brycec: binpatch ^

true
well i'm using em1 as primary
so i suppose that means i'm on second switch brycec: mercutio: it's physically descriptive, eg, enp8s0 is ethernet, pci slot 4, slot 0 mercutio: brycec: why's em1 em1?
it's even weirder on this other host
oops i unplugged network brycec: no idea.. I thought you meant "em1" as in the OpenBSD driver em(4) mercutio: nah this is ubuntu brycec: Googling it... just, wtf, makes no sense.
Check dmesg to see what interfaces are enumerated and what they're renamed to, I guess. acf_: on Debian, we have the clasic eth0, eth1, ..
there is a config file that keeps track of MAC address / interface name relationships
and reassigns them at startup brycec: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-net-persistent.rules or something like that acf_: yea, that
seems like if I change the PCI slot of my Ethernet card, I still want the interface name to stay the same .. mercutio: http://pastebin.com/rEZB3EuR
it's weirder on the other host
i wonder what slot p18 is :) brycec: Yeah that's my feeling. But I understand the other "descriptive" move - when dealing with faceless people in a datacenter far, far away, it's more important that they plug into the right physical port, and that if they replace a card, it keeps the same name.' mercutio: true
i always get confused when there are like 8 ethernet interfaces.
the biggest problem used to be is that different kernels would change what order they iterated through eth0, eth1, eth2 etc
so it wasn't static for onboard vs cards etc.
and so you upgrade kernels, and all the ordering changes. brycec: And sometimes, depending on which bus enunerated first, they would move around on their own anyways. mercutio: openbsd's never had that problem for me. brycec: Exactly
:D openbsd ftw mercutio: hmm i wonder if openbsd supports this network card... brycec: What's the card? mercutio: mellanox connectx en brycec: Hmmm mercutio: freebsd supports it from what i understand brycec: (Yes it does)
I don't think OpenBSD supports infiniband at all mercutio: this is ethernet only
there's en, ib, and vpi models. vpi do either en is only ethernet brycec: Ah, good to know. Regardless, not seeing anything at all for "openbsd mellanox" mercutio: yeh i think it's not supported.
i wonder how much of the infiniband stuff it needs.
it could be a fun project to port freebsd driver to openbsd.
they're a lot cheaper than the intel cards.
althoguuh atm the only cheap ones are US shipping only :(
i've been trying to figure out if i can do 10gbe across my room
