we've had the second spooky reboot so far. and not a peep. mnathani_: I got an email
2 actually
one for my customer
Subject: ARP Networks, Inc. EMERGENCY Maintenance Notice m0unds: yea, i got one too mnathani_: kvr 09, 14, 15, 16 RandalSchwartz: well - I got nothing. Would have been nice to at least flag it out in nagios so pagerduty wasn't screaming. m0unds: last night was 03, 04, 17, 22, 23, 24 RandalSchwartz: some of those sound familiar... although I can never keep track of them any more. :)
yeah... chris1 is on 24... that explains last night
chris0 is on 13... that was a couple of nights ago
mabel is on 7... must not have happened yet. ***: dwarren has joined #arpnetworks up_the_irons: RandalSchwartz: we actually did send emails RandalSchwartz: hmm.

__pyro__ has joined #arpnetworks grody: dang.. my little trick didn't work
was hoping my vps went into hibernation when the acpi shutdown was sent, and resumed when powered back up
another thing that doesn't work as it did in 8.x __pyro__: I got an email yesterday about maintenance window, but it's not 12pm utc yet and the thing is unreachable mercutio: it may be an error on your system, try vnc'ing to it. grody: hmm, odd.. mine seemed to have rebooted 10 hours ago, but looking at the email, it's due in just over half hour m0unds: 12PM UTC on 5/17 was 0600 MDT
which was..10 hrs ago mercutio: my system didn't appear to fsck, but i had no /bsd, only /bsd.mp and openbsd didn't boot the /bsd.mp grody: it's 11:24PM BST (UTC+1) on 17th May atm mercutio: i haven't seen the more recent email. my vps was in the earlier window. grody: hmm, might still get chance to test m0unds: yea, mine was overnight grody: oh right, mine was done at lunch time __pyro__: everything looks good from vnc grody: my head is so not working tonight mercutio: including networking? __pyro__: but none of my tcp things connect
i don't know how to debug networking really :( mercutio: can you get out?
can you ping 4.2.2.1 or such __pyro__: that works grody: without firing up a browser.. how much would a real small VPS (single core, smallest disk possible (5GB would be enough) and a handful of RAM (256MB)?
nvm.. the small package would do the trick RandalSchwartz: I think $20 is the minimum grody: $10 one atm RandalSchwartz: oh
$5 at digitalocean.com with 20GB of SSD and 512M ram. and it would launch in 55 seconds. grody: nah will need it here, ideally want it to run pfsense on, then allocate other VMs behind it RandalSchwartz: there's no way garry can compete with that. :) -: grody likes here BryceBot: That's what she said!! RandalSchwartz: except on one aspect... they won't do ZFS for the FreeBSD.
I've asked, but not yet.
and they don't have "boot from fixit shell"
so if you hose your /, you're dead. grody: would digitalocean let you run a pfsense vm, then let you network other vm's behind it, with a /48 block routed to you and any IP4s you have too? mercutio: RandalSchwartz: zfs takes up more ram
i thjink the fixit shell for freebsd got fixed. grody: fixit shell? RandalSchwartz: not sure mercutio: there was a problem with the freebsd install iso not having rescue shell grody: ah RandalSchwartz: fixit shell = boot off the DVD and attack your broken disk mercutio: zfs root on freebsd would be cool. grody: was gonna say, just boot the vDVD and break your way out of installer into a shell mercutio: i just don't know how well it'd work on the smallest instances. RandalSchwartz: well - DO doesn't let you mount a DVD. mercutio: oh you wer talking about do RandalSchwartz: so you're limited to their configurations. mercutio: someone was complaining about arp having issues with freebsd rescue shells RandalSchwartz: yes... I've typically built my own here with mount DVD.
mercutio - was me
fixed now
8.4 DVD is selectable
don't need it for 9 or 10 mercutio: cool. RandalSchwartz: disc1 has fixit shell
and nobody should be building an 8.4 machine within a month of EOL :) ***: easymac has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) grody: im gonna miss 8.x RandalSchwartz: in fact. red.stonehenge.com is probably the last 8.x machine here. :)
I'm gonna push it to 9 in a week or two mercutio: i dunno why they don't just do a 8.5 RandalSchwartz: because 8.4 is eol grody: just spending time reading up on what else they've changed before i go into rebuilding my persyserver RandalSchwartz: it has seen better days. grody: freebsd do do weird numbering, but so does google with android RandalSchwartz: heh... the girl I was chatting up at the bar just walked on her tab mercutio: freebsd's numbering is fine to me. m0unds: the only weird android thing was 3.x RandalSchwartz: but the bar has the last laugh, they have her CC. grody: hah m0unds: whoops
hahah grody: tbh, i have unintentionally walked out on tabs before (usually when i get called off in a rush) RandalSchwartz: I think they put an automatic 25% service fee on walks as well grody: but i always go back as soon as i can RandalSchwartz: some sign around here says that grody: ouch ***: easymac has joined #arpnetworks
easymac has quit IRC (Changing host)
easymac has joined #arpnetworks grody: you wooed her so much, she wandered off in a fluster RandalSchwartz: no... that's never the case.
she had to be somewhere at 5pm for a job
and she was yelling at her boss for scheduling her.
definitely not altogether there.
so she's yelling at him on the phone, and says "I gotta take this outside"
that was 20 minutes ago :) mercutio: who goes to a bar during the daytime? RandalSchwartz: I hope you don't expect an answer to that. :) mercutio: heh
a little provocative :) grody: i sometimes work from a bar mercutio: ahh the english do :)
although isn't that usually pubs? grody: lol yea mercutio: here bar usually means more nightclubish grody: we do have some nice pubs though, not very many i trust getting out my laptop/tablet/phone etc. mercutio: more drinking orientated than food etc.
i hate getting a laptop out in public grody: ahh, pubs here do it all really.. during the day sorta like a cafe/pub/resteraunt and at night the boozer mercutio: heh anywhere called a pub here would have terrible coffee :) grody: my local has a cool little seat, wall to my back and camera looking over at me from other end.. no snoopers and anyone knicking it has to get oassed the bar
yea the coffee isn't all too great
few shots of whiskey usually fixes that though mercutio: hardly anyone here seems to have laptops at cafe's
but occassionally you see someone
and i did it once grody: crap, gonna have to wait til payday to get this new vps
thought i had money left on the naughty card.. bloody missus mercutio: you don't want to uuse any wifi they may provide though
it'll be worse than mobile tethering grody: nah the wifis i wouldn't trust
open and can be seen by anyone in shot, not even comfortable using my vpn over it
usually have my own 3G hotspot or unlimited mobile data on the phone and just tether
i do like my little 3g router.. it gets very warm and makes a brilliant pocket warmer on a cold day mercutio: my cellphone seems to bug out sometimes and get really warm in my pocket
bloody annoying RandalSchwartz: heh... the bar owner and bartender are laughing
this girl gave me all her contact info including friending me on facebok grody: message her to tell her she left her card and unpaid bill RandalSchwartz: so I've given that all to them... I wonder if she'll have legal ramifications for walking out grody: dont know about US law, but in UK, if it was genuinely an accident, it wont matter.. usually they pre-auth the card on tabs here, so if you do walk out they have a right to charge your card without your pin or signature mercutio: she may be back RandalSchwartz: no... she had to be at her other job at 5pm
and was already looking at mass-transit schedules mercutio: but the next day RandalSchwartz: well - that'll be for the judge to decide mercutio: what? RandalSchwartz: dunno if I said this, but the mayor of this city *owns* this bar mercutio: she may just do the right thing RandalSchwartz: she's messing with the mayor mercutio: is this the same bar you say the mayor at? RandalSchwartz: her credit card was declined
yes mercutio: we pay $25 for declined credit card here ***: JC_Denton has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) grody: painful
usually the embarassment is enough here RandalSchwartz: I would message her, but I don't want to spoil the surprise that the bar is likely to loft on her. :) grody: that's just mean RandalSchwartz: hey... just met her. and she was LA-bat-crap-crazy
just chatting about that with the bartender.
she saw me on facebook, and said "you should be my friend"
that was completely unsolicitied
then she pointed me at one of her business websites, and within two clicks, I had NSFW pics, which I had to immediately close. grody: hmm, i wont diss hyper-v again.. in windows 10, it is creaming for a freebsd guest
it feels near native when i run freebsd on host
as when* RandalSchwartz: renoni.net - click portfoloi
whoa. her phone number is in the whois for that grody: heh
why i ♥ .uk domains, can have all persy info witheld RandalSchwartz: you can do that here too with the right registrar grody: just go to watch out for nominet police, they like to suspend domains because they can't verify personal details in their records
the records they use are far from reliable too m0unds: yea, gandi offers free obfuscation for certain domain types
i use it on my .nets grody: phone records, if you are x-directory, wont show. Sole traders don't show up in public records and persons on the voters register can opt out of an edited register, which anyone can see (the edited version), opt out and you don't appear on it
.net (.net.uk) here have to be registered to companies with intent to use them for naming networking devices
ofc i can just register out in US for a .net instead and not need that
im actually still surprised nominet have allowed a domain i do use for network naming has a totally abstract postal address and contact information, but a valid contact email and phone number m0unds: i hate mouse shopping ***: jbergstroem has quit IRC (Quit: bye)
jbergstroem has joined #arpnetworks RandalSchwartz: shopping for a mouse
shopping with a mouse?
shopping on behalf of a mouse? -: RandalSchwartz hasn't used a mouse in years
m0unds uses a mouse every day RandalSchwartz: a mouse would take my hands too far away from the keyboard
I'm not sure how people put up with that kind of delay m0unds: somehow, i manage acf__: trackpoint ftw! m0unds: haha, mousenipple RandalSchwartz: I mean my primary machines have all had trackpads since 1993 or so.
heh... bartender just bought me a shot of jamieson for helping them out m0unds: i work on a desktop and a laptop and the laptop naturally uses a trackpad RandalSchwartz: and he tells me the owner/mayor is definitely worked up, and will push hard to resolution ***: milki has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: RandalSchwartz: 10keyless keyboard maybe? ***: JC_Denton has joined #arpnetworks
JC_Denton is now known as Guest74393
Guest74393 is now known as JC_Denton RandalSchwartz: mercutio what? mercutio: RandalSchwartz: no numeric pad so mouse is closer. RandalSchwartz: I've never owned a machine with a numeric pad
No - I take that back. My Sol-20 had that
... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_Technology#/media/File:Processor_Technology_SOL_20_Computer.jpg BryceBot: Processor Technology :: Processor Technology Corporation was a personal computer company founded in April 1975 by Gary Ingram and Bob Marsh in Berkeley, California. Their first product was a 4K byte RAM board that was compatible with the MITS Altair 8800 computer but more reliable than the MITS board. This was followed by a series of memory and I/O boards including a video display module. Popular Electronics magazine wanted a feature article... RandalSchwartz: I still have that machine in storage! mercutio: i only have one 10keyless keyboard.
i dununo why they call them 10keyless
becuase they skip like 17 keys RandalSchwartz: still never understood a keyboard with such redundancy mercutio: i like the right enter key
can use it with the right left thuumb from mouse
helpful for urls that complete ***: easymac_ has joined #arpnetworks

easymac is now known as Guest55634 m0unds: my kb is 10keyless
i like having the extra space on my desk mercutio: i haev 10keyless in my other area
i've been thinking about swapping to it
cos it's mx brown vs mx red, and i keep typoing m0unds: my desk just isn't very big, and i only occasionally used the 10key at all. i had a little slim backlit keyboard for a long time (branded by creative labs, but i don't remember the oem) and it didn't have a 10key either
i'm trying out a steelseries mouse because it was the most comfortable for my big, stupid hands mercutio: my desk is huge, but i like having useful things nearby.
i tried having 3 monitors for a while, and while it fits ok, it's just much more comfortable condensing. RandalSchwartz: I can't imagine having anything more than my single laptop screen. m0unds: i gave up my second display because i just didn't use it often enough mercutio: i'm using a steelseries mouse
ahh i usue two all the time
3 i used a lot too
but it's hard to look from 1st to 3rd
oh hangon it's corsair, not steelseries
i had a steelseries mouse pad m0unds: i had a silly number of monitors at my old workplace mercutio: but i've shifted to razor golaithus
i have heaps of monitors here, :/
i have uhh 3 .. 4.. 5.. 7? m0unds: i had 5 at one point, it was obnoxious mercutio: but i only use 2+1 m0unds: 2 for surv env and 3 for workstation ***: easymac_ has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: i even downsized my monitor in my test area.
just because it's more convenient
it's a really cheap 24" ips.
or maybe 22"
must be 22" ***: Guest55634 has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) mercutio: i can't stand laptops.
there's just not enough desktop space etc.
fans always spinning up and down
m0unds: how well do you find 3 monitors works for you? m0unds: it was alright for what i was doing at the time, but it's utter overkill for anything else
i had 5 on my desk, 3 on arms, two on the desk ***: easymac_ is now known as easymac mercutio: i found with 3 monitors i really had to be careful about things that would show on the screen
like if something's always updating it's distracting m0unds: surv env stuff on my far left, incident tracker on the leftmost workstation monitor, browsing or reading stuff in the center and logging stuff on the right
yeah, i agree ***: easymac is now known as Guest63060 mercutio: well something like mtr isn't too bad, but anything that makes "big" differences m0unds: yea, my incident tracker had flashing stuff mercutio: because it can end up on your peripheral vision it's like much more distracting.
i hide this irc window sometimes :) mkb: ail RandalSchwartz: heh... the mayor just picked up a guy passed out on the sidewalk across the street
people in here were gonna call 911
*there* is a proactive mayor mercutio: weird
you wouldn't think of a mayor of being at all proactive :) RandalSchwartz: yeah - this guy is pretty f'ing cool
I can see how he ended up being the mayor
sadly, he's 3 years younger than me, and sometimes I think people like him are a lot more accomplished than me.
but then I think... ok, how many google hits for his name vs mine.
or... does he have a wikipedia page? :)
there are clearly some ways that I have permanently impacted the world. mercutio: normally a mayor wouldn't own a bar either. RandalSchwartz: if I was mayor, I'd do that. :) mercutio: heh RandalSchwartz: he's trusted by the local business community because of that
part of how he got elected
just like mayor bud clark in portland
.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud_Clark BryceBot: Error in Wikipedia's response: mercutio: randal is a hacker i see :)
geek cruises? RandalSchwartz: what? mercutio: it says you've been on every geek cruise?
although the link goes from geekcruises.com redirecting to insightcruises.com
which seems to have a cruise every month.. RandalSchwartz: I've been on 65-ish of the 83-ish events mercutio: wow RandalSchwartz: exact numbers would require me opening a numbers spreadsheet :) mercutio: i was just lokoing at your web page
you made it so encouraging to stalk you :) RandalSchwartz: yeah. I like friends. mercutio: so is geek cruise and insightcruuise the same thing? RandalSchwartz: geekcruise original name. insightcruise modern name
geekcruise was more about neil promoted cruises.
insightcruise about partnered events
magazine provides two pages of ads per month...
neil runs the show
they split the profits
before that, neil bought ads, and showed up at conferences. mercutio: i noticed new zealand was on it heh RandalSchwartz: much better now mercutio: well on insight RandalSchwartz: Yeah - I'm not on that one
cannot get a reliable ETA to their
there mercutio: yeah i imagine it's too far away :) RandalSchwartz: no - not too far away mercutio: oh? RandalSchwartz: but last few times I've tried for ETA to Oz, failed. mercutio: for flying there? RandalSchwartz: so I'm not trying any more
yeah mercutio: weird
it's pretty easy to fly to australia from here :) RandalSchwartz: even though I've been in Oz six times already mercutio: i have no idea what it's like from US
well i sort of know a bit
ie you have to get to california first RandalSchwartz: I haven't tried in past two years... might give it a go someday soon.
maybe next year.
OK - I just applied for an ETA
if that works, I may be coming to new zealand! mercutio: haha
i'm biased, but i think nz is pretty cool RandalSchwartz: very likely though they'll just deny it, as they have. mercutio: how does that eta stuff work?
is that like a travel agent? RandalSchwartz: ETA = electronic travel authorization
it's like a visa, but easier to apply for mercutio: oh
i thought it meant estimated time of arrival :) RandalSchwartz: no mercutio: ok that's why i didn't understand. RandalSchwartz: US to AU can use ETA's mercutio: is it because you were a hacker? RandalSchwartz: but I keep getting denied
felon
apparently AU has full felon quota :) mercutio: i thought it got wiped? RandalSchwartz: yeah, but only at the state level mercutio: nz has these clean slate laws, so you could probably get in anyway RandalSchwartz: at the federal level, I'm still apparently infringed. mercutio: but australia may be more difficult. RandalSchwartz: well, we'll see :)
it's been a couple years since I've tried
but I still have the same passport number as when I tried before.
maybe in 5 years when I have a new passport numebr? mercutio: clean slate for australia comes up with tatto removal etc.
so if they do have something similar it's called something different ***: Guest63060 is now known as easymac
