grodyi still use USB drives to transfer large quantities of data [02:55]
brycecWhat about station wagons full of USB drives? [02:56]
grodyfastest link i have is 200mbps.. and thats just two switches being trunked [02:56]
brycecThink of the bandwidth... [02:56]
mercutiousb 3.1 is coming out [02:56]
grodyi say i dont transfer lots of data over my lan, media server and general whoringbox has sent 1.9TB and received 960GB in 30 days [02:59]
mercutioheh
time for gige :/
[02:59]
grodybut then again that thing gets hit up like a bint
ya it has the card, but im such a cheap ass i cant find a decent gige switch for under £100
i mean, there are some under that price, but they suck
even my archaid allied telesyn commtrend puts some of them to shame (for features)
archaic*
on a plus note, i found why my lappie goes nuts booting uefi aware *nix - any resolutions other than gfxmode text or 1024x768 dont work, and most are using 640x480 :/
[02:59]
phluxwoohoo, done with the morning workout and getting ready routine in time to watch some Seinfeld!
Got up a 0345 to get a head start
[03:03]
grodyooh that reminds me, nearly gym-o-clock [03:03]
phluxI was getting my sweat on at 0400
I love doing it first thing in the morning to get it out of the way
[03:03]
grodyheheh, i normally hit my gym at 2am
plus nobody aboutt
[03:04]
phluxAlthough, I'm examining a vessel today, and my shoulders feel like jelly atm
true that
Right now I'm trying Sean T's T25 program
I had a lot of success with P90X a few years ago, so I want to see what T25 is all about
If I don't get what I want, I'll go back to being a 4AM gym rat
No time for Seinfeld if I do that, though! :(
[03:04]
grodyi dont really do much else than a light cardio and general weights [03:05]
mercutioi dunno why phlux woudl want to get up so early [03:06]
grodynot aiming to do much other than keep a breath and minimmize the old ale belly [03:06]
phluxgrody: aye, I have to stay in some sort of shape for my job. Weigh-ins and PT tests and whatnot [03:06]
grodyooh joy
mercutio, i hate daytime hours - i always try and get work that is at night
why i ♥ americans so much
4am is best time of the day imo
[03:06]
phluxI tried the "just focus on cardio" bit, but I got to a point where I was smoking the mile and a half, but struggling on pullups and pushups
Granted, I'm only required to do 1 pullup, but you look like a little manchild when all of the females in your group are busting out 10 and you only manage 1 haha
That's grounds for endless ridicule in the .mil
[03:07]
BryceBotThat's what she said!! [03:08]
grodylol
there is this one chick who works out at 1am, not a lot to look at - but damn can she benchpress and run
not a muscley type either, quite petite.. not someone to expect to benchpress 100kg w/o breaking a sweat
i didn't know wether to cry or find another time to work out when i saw it
[03:09]
phluxlol
I generally try not to compare myself to others, but I can't help it if I'm being completely showed up by a 120lb girl
[03:12]
mercutioheh [03:13]
phluxmercutio: Do you ever sleep?! [03:13]
mercutioyeh i sleep
i'm in nz, so diff timezone :/
[03:13]
phluxooooooooooh
That explains it then
I thought you were American
[03:14]
mercutioyeah if i was american i would be up late a lot :) [03:14]
phluxI used to be a night crawler
4 hours of sleep before work
but then we had a kid
I sleep whenever the hell I can in the afternoons
If I could sleep past 4AM, I would
but I have to keep this body for up_the_irons
else he'll ban me from #arpnetworks
I hope he doesn't have beep highlights
[03:15]
BryceBotThat's what she said!! [03:17]
phluxBecause it's like 2AM his time [03:17]
mercutioheh, he might be up
but it's like 3 am now
they had daylight saving shift.
[03:17]
phluxhmm
I thought he was 3 hours behind me
I must've been mistaken
Never been out to the west coast
[03:18]
mercutiothey were 3 hours ahead of me [03:18]
phluxI'm a gulf guy [03:19]
mercutiobut now they're four.
cos of daylight savings.
i dunno if it started or stopped
[03:19]
phluxwhich is fucking stupid btw
I hate the time change shit
[03:19]
mercutioyeah it's annoying
i will change to standard time soon i think
yeah i'm changing "back" to standard time 5th april
[03:19]
phluxOnly Americans would think that you can take one foot from the top of a blanket, attach it to the bottom, and think they have a longer blanket.
Oh, and apparently New Zealand too
[03:20]
mercutioyeah we have that annoying thing too
i start getting up earlier in winter
regardless
as i always start getting up later in winter
so i try to counterbalance ahead of time :)
[03:21]
phluxaye [03:21]
mercutioit's not so bad in this city
where i used to live it would be colder in mornings y more
by
[03:22]
phluxWhat sucks is I live about an hour from the city where I work
and I'm off of this huge lake up here
[03:23]
mercutiois that on peak of off peak hour?
or
[03:23]
phluxWhen I go outside at my house, it's 10 degrees F colder than in the city
Eh, takes me about 40 min off peak
[03:23]
mercutiohere higher places tend to be warmer [03:24]
phluxbut I have to plan to be 10F warmer in the city [03:24]
mercutioshade makes a huge diff to temp [03:24]
phluxI think the issue here is I'm north of the lake
So all of the wind coming off of the water hits us over here
[03:25]
mercutioi just always plan to be cold tbh [03:25]
phluxWhereas my base is west of the river [03:25]
mercutioit's esay to take off clothes
it's hard to put more on if you don't have the
[03:25]
phluxYES [03:25]
mercutioand with jackets etc you can have them open [03:25]
phluxThank you
My wife can not seem to grasp that concept
[03:25]
mercutioheh sometimes you see a hot day here when it's been cold
and all the girls walk around hardly dressed
then afternoon comes and of course it's much colder :/
[03:26]
phluxlol
we went to downtown New Orleans about a month ago, and it was around 75 when we left
She asked why I was bringing a jacket
Because I *knew* it was going to get cold that evening
She didn't believe me and froze
phlux shrugs
[03:26]
mercutioheh
no foresight!
[03:27]
phluxI carried around a jacket for an hour, then got to wear it. [03:27]
mercutioi used to not wear jackets when it was like 7c
so that's like 45f
but iw as younger :/]
[03:27]
phluxscrew that
that's bone chilling to me!
[03:28]
mercutioit was pretty typcial warm winter evening wehre i used to live
it's a common minimum here now i think
in winter
[03:28]
phluxit is generally pretty warm here
holy shit
[03:29]
BryceBotThat's what she said!! [03:30]
phluxI just learned something from Seinfeld
Plato invented the PLATOnic relationship
mind blown
I have got to go get an external drive this weekend

brycec: what OS is your smokeping running on? [09:59]
brycecDebian Wheezy
(and my slaves are various others, but that's not relevant)
[10:00]
mnathani_I am attempting to get it working on centos 6 [10:00]
brycecI don't imagine much difference [10:00]
mnathani_I don't actually have a smokeping.cgi [10:00]
brycecnginx v 1.6.2
Did you install smokeping from source or a package?
[10:01]
mnathani_from source
nginx-1.0.15-11
[10:01]
mike-burnsphlux: yes, but Plato's platonic relationships were rather different from today's. [10:01]
mnathani_I have /opt/smokeping/bin/smokeping_cgi [10:03]
brycecI installed from package. Also I may have given you the wrong spawn-cgi, one sec... [10:04]
m0undsup_the_irons: is something up w/kvr03? packet loss has been occurring pretty regularly for a few days now [10:04]
brycec(Well slightly different, but not appreciably different) [10:06]
m0undsnot worth even men
ha. wrong chat window (couldn't tell because packet loss)
the other part of it went in the right window, haha

mnathani_brycec: did your smokeping package configure itself for use with nginx?
centos 6 has a package, but configures itself to use apache
[13:31]
brycecNegative, I hand-configured it. but the cgi was in place [13:32]
mercutiomnathani_: centos makes smokeping harder [13:32]
brycec(and there's just the one package on Debian, it's not broken into pieces) [13:33]
***YesThatTom has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [13:33]
mercutiobut anywy it's normal to use fastcgi ratehr than cgi
which is why it's .cgi
[13:33]
brycecRunning smokeping as bare CGI was sloooooooow [13:34]
mercutiobecause it has a really high startup overhead :/
brycec: it is right
brycec: you tyhink for light use it shouldn't matter
but i think it dns lookups every host or something
[13:34]
brycecThe poller does, yes
it adds a huge chunk of overhead
[13:35]
grodygrody pets munin
not as good as smokeping for latency etc.
but does a relatively good job
modular too, so easy adding graphs for just about anything that outputs daya
[13:42]
brycecI run munin too. But it's a different tool for a different job :p [13:43]
mnathani_munin auto restarts services that go down right? [13:43]
grodyi have munin doing ICMP/TCP timing/graphing, but yea, nowhere near as featureful as smokeping [13:43]
brycecSmokeping really shines when you have multiple slaves (on different networks/connections) monitoring hosts, as you can then see what's affected
mnathani_: that's monit
assuming you have monit configured to that :P
[13:43]
mercutiomunin is bloated too isn't it? [13:45]
BryceBotThat's what she said!! [13:45]
grodyi wouldn't say it was overkill, sure isn't a hog
it never even makes a dent in my resources
[13:45]
brycecmunin-node is pretty dang lightweight
but the graphing and alerting can be a hog
(which is why smart people use the cgi graphing)
[13:46]
mercutiocool
the problem with smokeping is if you have dns lookups and internet failure you get blanks because it can't complete quick enough
i haven't thought of any nice solution to it yet - fping also does the dns lookups -
[13:46]
brycecSo don't use DNS lookups :P
Just feed it IP's
[13:47]
mercutiobrycec: that's what i was doing.
but for things like google it's better to use names.
[13:47]
brycecUnless you're tracking something that regularly changes IP's, there's no reason [13:47]
mercutioit'd be ok having stale ip's.. [13:48]
brycecmercutio: I'd argue that you want to ping a fixed point. Using name, Google could start rerouting traffic to a different DC, over different transit, etc and it's not useful. [13:48]
mercutiobrycec: but google do that for normal traffic [13:48]

staticsafemercutio: https://nzrs.net.nz/content/dnssec-validation-spark-nz [17:32]
mercutioyeah i saw they were implementing that
i wonder if they're using unbound.
that company used to refuse to use open source software
they were using some weird commercial version of bind before i think
they also took a long long time to split from combined recursive/authorative dns, and had problems taking old domains out of their dns
so there were common problems with dns being wrong on them, but no-one else.
[17:33]
staticsafestaticsafe nods
i run unbound at home
[17:35]
mercutiodid you read about that on nznog? [17:36]
staticsafeyeah [17:36]
mercutiothey've been talking about a noc contact list for ages on there
it doesn't seem to be going anywhere
[17:36]
staticsafeindeed [17:36]
mercutiomy name is on there but not my phone number, so i don't mind
i'm paranoid about having phone numbers on the internet
it's scarier than email addresses.
[17:37]
staticsafemy phone number is in my ARIN POC record [17:37]
mercutioyeh you have to don't you [17:37]
staticsafesince its a single proprietorship yeah [17:38]
mercutioas long as it goes to a work number that doesn't go directly to me i'm ok with it [17:38]
staticsafenot a corp [17:38]
mercutiohmm
yeah i have work phone numbers on my domains :)

almost all of my own domains are signed
m0unds: yeah i use spotify a lot

mercutioi'm using tinydns without even having tcp enabled :/ [17:53]
staticsafeew [17:53]
mercutioi thinking of switching to nsd [17:53]
staticsafegood choice [17:53]
mercutiobut tinydns works well and is easy [17:53]
staticsafei use BIND [17:53]
mercutioi've been using it for like 15 years :/
actually more like 13 years
[17:53]
staticsafei use unbound for recursive needs and BIND for authoritative [17:54]
mercutiobind to nsd is meant to be easy [17:54]
staticsafeunless you are dependent on BIND's auto DNSSEC signing magic :) [17:58]
BryceBotThat's what she said!! [17:58]
staticsafeno BryceBot [17:58]
brycecBryceBot: no [18:12]
BryceBotOh, okay... I'm sorry. 'unless you are dependent on BIND's auto DNSSEC signing magic :)' [18:12]
brycecI highly recommend nsd
It's light, it's simple, it Just Works
And it's in base
