grodywho's in charge of billing? or is that not done hete? [16:30]

mercutio, everything wireless hetr almost always uses 2.4 .. coordless, wireless kb/mice, some wifi, bt and some hdmi wifi is 2.4 but mostly 5ghz
[16:31]
mercutioit was just dect phones that i wasn't sure of
wireless speakers, kb, mice, bluetooth etc are all 2.4 :(
[16:36]
grodyi would post ubi spec analasys but its a little sesnitive
dect here uses 2.4
mine does but thankfully a low channel away from wifi prinary
its bt that savages me
there is a lot of that in these flats ands its weird
[16:36]
mercutioweird
i thought bt was short range
[16:46]
grodyi have upto 100m stuff, small apartment, sound throughout mostly via bt .. it hits 2.4 rotten, use the phone too whist torrenting for ex.... u get the pictute [16:49]
mercutioi want to do multiroom audio, but i dunno how to sync it
i figure if i used wireless latency can vary?
and i don't know how much it matters.
i mostly just want to extend music into kitchen

up_the_ironsthere is so much layer 2 / 3 geekery talk in here, i love it
someone in here's gonna invent a new protocol
[17:37]
ix33ha i thought with that discussion that this was the #lopsa channel [17:43]
.... (idle for 17mn)
up_the_ironsup_the_irons checks out the #lopsa channel [18:00]
mercutioi've been trying to figure out this damn complicated netfilter mess
it's insane now days
with pf you can just pass "no state"
with iptables if you want to remote state it's /way/ more complex

staticsafeunloading nf_conntrack usually works [18:26]
BryceBotThat's what she said!! [18:26]
staticsafe:P
its ugly but it works
[18:26]
mercutiountil you need it static :)
it's when you want to combine connection tracking and non connection tracking that it gets complicated.
it's with tproxy i found i needed connection tracking

mnathani_should I be concerned if my VPS is using 181megs of swap space
even though +/- buffers has 1960 free
[21:15]
mercutioyes you should be
linux overswaps :/
freebsd can swap quite a bit if it runs out of memory
uhh what's with ntt's reverse dns?
http://pastebin.com/cSBrFB3q
[21:16]
mjpyou can tune swap usage with sysctl vm.swappiness on linux
i dont think freebsd lets you tune though
[21:19]
mercutiowith freebsd if you're swapping that much i'd say that you don't have enough memory, or should reduce your memory footprint
with linux i'd say vm.swappiness liek mjp said :)
there's been a growing trend these days to not even have swap
[21:22]
mjpno swap is a pretty bad idea imo [21:25]
mercutiowhy's that?
i think level3 is having congestion again
[21:26]
mjpbecause it will cause things to break/crash if ram usage gets to 100% [21:27]
mercutioram usage should never be anywhere near 100% these days
and lots of things break when swapping
[21:28]
mjpbut it does happen, especially when you use VMs and only allocate 1G/2G for 'average' sort of hosts [21:28]
mercutiolike if you're serving web pages, with mysql+apache, and you start swapping the performance is so bad it'll spawn more processes
and use more and more ram
and so the swap just "delays" time to killing process.
i think in a way there should be better memory controls to stop things getting out of hand.
but atm a lot of people have more ram than they need most of the time
[21:28]
mjpwe usually set swap at 1GB or 2GB per host regardless of actual RAM size and set nagios to alert us if the box starts swapping [21:29]
mercutiothere's always that compressed swap thing
compressed ram as swap
you could alert on low buffers/cache as well i suppose
but yeah i suppose it's easy
mercutio has no swap on his personal desktop
[21:30]
mjpdepends if you would rather recover from a crash or tune a slow host heh [21:31]
mercutioi haven't seen hard-crashes relating to swap or lack of swap
i just see things like mysql getting killed
[21:31]
mjpyeah oomkiller
which is essentially a mysql crash from its perspective
[21:31]
mercutioyeah
i dunno, overprovisioning memory is much more common than it used to be
[21:32]
mnathani_whats a good way to tell whats using the swap [21:32]
mercutiomnathani_: rss being low normally
err res
[21:32]
mjptop? heh [21:33]
mercutiobut it's hard to know what's low :)
there's also paging out of executable
like executables are demand-loaded, and it can free the executable pages and demand load them back in
which is essentially like swapping except without the extra write
and on some systems like freebsd it can write to swap without actually using the ram it's created
so that there's more ram available "if needed" and it doesn't have to wait for it to swap it out.

mjpi dont think the way freebsd uses swap
*dont like
[21:36]
mercutioi used to use this tol that told you how much library space etc everything used. [21:36]
mjpswapoff -a && swapon -a will fix it though [21:37]
mercutio65mb seems heaps [21:37]
mjpnot a good solution [21:37]
mercutioi can't remember the name of it, but often in times gone past it was huge libraries being used that used up lots of memory
so i compiled things without the huge libraries etc.
but that was when i had 24mb of ram..
weechat can restore state
so you can save state and restart it
also if you upgrade libraries on a running system then old programs will use the old version, and new programs the new version
so it has to store two copies in memory
how much ram does your vps have?
[21:37]
mjpwhy would you ever want to save the state of a chat client? [21:39]
mercutiomy weechat is only using 24mb
mjp: so that you have all your windows etc from last time
[21:39]
mjpwouldnt that be in the config? [21:40]
mercutiois it?
it's not in mine i think
[21:40]
mnathani_some of my windows are in the config [21:40]
mjpwhen i fire up irssi it connects to all my irc servers and auto-joins my channels [21:40]
mnathani_a lot of it would not be [21:40]
mjpotherwise it runs inside of screen [21:40]
mercutiomy irssi never did that [21:40]
mnathani_its been a while since weechat was launched [21:40]
mercutioand my weechat doesn't afaik
i've hardly started weechat
i've used it quite a lot :)
why does weechat have kerebos support?
kerberos.
and ssh support
i don't even know what libhogweed is
but if you want to be anal about memory usage, you can probably reduce memory usage by compiling without lots of these modules
although ime a lot of the worst offenders are things like perl programs.
apparently weechat older versions have some memory leaks
so restarting it may improve memory usage.
[21:40]
mnathani_I am hesitant to restart my weechat
might not come back the way it goes down
[21:47]
brycechogweed - low-level crypto library
my weechat isn't linked against ssh
[21:47]
mnathani_I am behind on a lot of scrollback [21:47]
brycecand kerberos is linked-against by way of other libs [21:47]
mercutioi have 29 libraries linked [21:47]
brycec(weechat itself isn't linked against kerberos) [21:47]
mercutiohow can you tell if it's direct or through other links? [21:48]
brycec(oh I do see libssh2 there) [21:48]
mercutioerk it's using libgnutls [21:48]
brycecmercutio: ldd -v $(which weechat)
the -v will break it all down
[21:49]
mercutioit's using both libssl and gnutls
isn't that license violation?
[21:49]
hmm i have no idea about this license stuff
it's too confusing.
i seem to remember openssh was removing the need for libressl though, so maybe there's some more minimal base that'll get improved?
[21:59]
hmm without libssl openssh doesn't like my key [22:11]

mnathani_Implementing Dual-Stack with no strategy to move to Single-Stack IPv6 will end up
costing your organization more in the long term.
^ Is that true?
[22:42]
mercutioit sounds like an open ended question [22:53]
mnathani_should that be the eventual goal? moving to ipv6 only networking? [23:01]
mercutionope
not to my mind :)
[23:12]
mnathani_so, ipv4 will probably not be decomissioned in our lifetimes [23:14]
mercutiowell ethernet still exists. [23:15]
