mercutio: i don't know why they try and do everything mike-burns: Well they hired all those people. mercutio: can't they just make kvm better
kvm still seems to have some ssd-backed storage performance deficincies.
deficiencies
is that right? god that word's hard to spell. mike-burns: Yes but if they re-write it from scratch instead of helping an existing project, then they get to talk about how much better they are than the existing project. mercutio: linux 4.1 should be improving cpu performance of kvm slightly, not that it's bad atm.
but yeah you're going to be quite below speed if using a pci-e nvme ssd for instance.
what's really needed is for smart controllers, where you caen have queues per vm that go direct to storage
and a segment of that storage i suppose -: mercutio checks what lxd actually does better mercutio: oh it's trying to be lighter.'
hmm, it seems it's easier just to use: https://lwn.net/Articles/645455/ ***: mjp_ has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
mjp_ has joined #arpnetworks grody: mnathani_, i quite like feedly ***: cpet has joined #arpnetworks cpet: Hi, COuld one of the ops tell me if you received an order for a VPS? grody: cpet, i'm not an op - but you should have gotten an email to log in to a control panel, which should have status of/if any VPS cpet: grody all I got was a message saying my service will me process asap grody: any information to login to the portal?
up_the_irons, mike-burns .^. not sure who else there is acf__: today is a holiday here, so you might have to wait for Tuesday for your VPS to be provisionsed cpet: Memorial Day? brycec: Today is Memorial Day in the US, yes.
grody: Is that something recent? When I first became a customer (nearly 3 years ago), I got an order confirmation "ARP Networks Order Received" but didn't have portal login details until the order had been processed. grody: ahh, holiday m0unds: yeah, that's the case w/my most recent order
didn't get additional stuff beyond the initial order email til after it was set up cpet: Well I got nada so hence why I was asking grody: brycec, good question actually.. i ordered mine about 2 years ago.. i just remember one of my first emails from arp being portal login details brycec: (I dug up my old emails ;) ) cpet: I don't keep old emails grody: i tend to keep 5 years worth cpet: I read, I reply I delete
and loop until .... m0unds: i read, reply, archive if important
if not, delete grody: i keep everything, spam and all.. that way i can create better spam rules
dont actually get much spam any more :) cpet: I switched over to a russian email hosting provider
which has made my spams from 45-60/day to 0
mostly due to zoho only allowing 5 boxes and mail.ru 5000 m0unds: ah grody: i run my own little postfix where i do my magic, then forward it onto different email boxes cpet: locally I have a email server setup
but I am waiting for it to be the way I want before I switch over
which is taking a while as all howtos are based on a sql setup which I don't like brycec: I prefer reading the documentation and understanding it all to simply following howtos. grody: you just reminded me actually.. i need to remake my ARP my secondary.. have to move my primary soon cpet: whats the name of the mouse daemon in Linux ? m0unds: mickeyd brycec: Are you thinking of gpmd? grody: lol cpet: on BSD it's moused on Linux is something else
yeap
thanks brycec: "man: No entry for moused in the manual." grody: odd as hell brycec: my BSD has no moused. cpet: brycec no /usr/sbin/moused? grody: why does linux (android too), freebsd, smart tv's, even the ps3 will all see my DLNA server on a different network behind an IGMP proxy...
however, not a single microsoft product will see it brycec: ls: /usr/sbin/moused: No such file or directory cpet: grody a reason to stop using ms products ? grody: brycec, not sure what open/net uses, but free uses moused m0unds: haha, i've had plenty of issues with everything but windows seeing my dlna server grody: cpet, sadly i need to use it in a couple of places (desktops) brycec: (My point is that "BSD" is "BSD", it's not OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc) cpet: I was running FreeBSd as my desktop for years grody: brave m0unds: i just gave up running dlna locally because it was a headache getting transcoding to play nice with everything, etc grody: i can't get on with it as a desktop, server or network node only cpet: until I wanted to burn a cd and had to do all this "crap" to get it to work
so I said funk it and went with Debian and brasero just worked grody: reverse with linux, hate it for servers/nodes, but ♥ it for desktops cpet: heh grody: they smudged cdburn?
as well..
sod the gui crap.. cdburn was way ahead of cdrecord (now wodim)
burncd too cpet: cd burning in cli? grody: yea cpet: I kinda like to sexy gui
wonder if my CC will work tomarrow
heh grody: hah no it's cdrecord now cpet: if it doesn't I will just create a openbsd image using bhyve grody: nope, burncd still heh wow staticsafe: haven't burnt a CD in years now
my desktop doesn't even have an optical drive grody: i had to to get android x86 on my old shuttle pc cpet: i burnt gparted iso m0unds: i finally removed my optical drive last week cpet: as I was too lazy to dd it to a usb thumb drive and having to do it again for debian m0unds: well, last week as in saturday, i guess grody: have one laptop and the shuttle with dvd burners m0unds: haha cpet: as after I installed fedora it was complaing about lvm stuff grody: still dont have a blueray one m0unds: new gpu, blew everything out, pulled the optical drive grody: hehe
oh my tower has a dvd burner too, shit me cpet: i only have a cd burner to cover up the hole
as if I take it out I have no blackplane to make it look perdy :P staticsafe: heh grody: im still quite archaic.. i only upgrade when pretty much forced m0unds: i taped my blank front plate to the case door when i installed everything in it :) cpet: grody once upon a time I was anal on updating keeping my shit updated now it's updates fuck em m0unds: so i just removed it from the door and put it where the drive was cpet: grody most of the windows things will work fine in wine I got my mtohers smartdraw working in wine grody: i had IE7 working in wine cpet: grody with a sexy icon that says "Open the monster that is windows" grody: im actually liking windows 10 (TP)
my laptop boots up in like 21 seconds.. and it's old cpet: I gave my mom a PC that cant run windows 7 so i instaled opensuse grody: mint takes about 1 minute cpet: she cant tel the diff
she uses firefox thunderbird all available in opensuse grody: never been a fan of RPM systems cpet: grody I never reboot even if it says to reboot so updated and boot times are like watching my dog looping her need to keep her private parts clean
heh
when I read some of the changes to windows 8
it make me laugh grody: 8.x sucks cpet: "a new version of taskmgr and a new calculator" grody: it made me cry many times cpet: and I sielently said she fucks should be ashamed to even mention that m0unds: hasn't bothered me really
but then again, my workflow never depended on a start menu or anything cpet: well wine does most of the small aspects I need m0unds: still work from a desktop with some icons on it, and with some icons pinned to the taskbar cpet: i dont game even though wine does run starcraft2 grody: my linux is mostly terminals, web browser and maybe a util or two for spying on my servers cpet: BSD is nice for a server but will never excel as a desktop
having too spend a few hours setting up devfs.conf will blow off most newbs m0unds: pcbsd is pretty painless to configure/use cpet: and I am 31 years old I basically want shit to "work" m0unds: boots to a desktop env, just like most linux distros nowadays cpet: so distros like gentoo arch or linux from scratch the hell with those heh
ive used pcbsd grody: i dunno.. have a decent intel graphics cards, a compatible sound card and a half decent cpu/ram bundle... it'd suffice... but it's managing all those packages.. cpet: and I might even move back to it BryceBot: That's what she said!! grody: for servers, routers, etc. deffo FreeBSD staticsafe: Windows on the desktop, Linux on the servers for me these days cpet: but linux has one problems
it tends to break sometimes when you update grody: i first setup an 8.2 on ARP, got it the way i wanted.. hardened it sufficiently and it ran for a good 311 days before i fudged an update which forced a reboot cpet: the bleeding edge ones more than the others brycec: (because nothing else does...) grody: but it was literally a setup and fotget m0unds: i can't remember the last time i had a windows install get hosed by updates cpet: but thats what you get when you use bleeding edge grody: im quite happy with win7 and 10 cpet: a few windows 8 updates rendered my system showing just a black screen grody: just dont like 8.1 because im running it on a tablet and it's effing annoying
might update this one to 10 too cpet: i lost my windows 7 windows 8 dvd's
and I wont bother to download pirated or buy anything
so it's either Linux or BSD grody: i have an update dvd, an OEM install DVD and about 10 win7 keys and 4 win8(.1) m0unds: you can get the install img for win8 from msft without anything
there's a tool you download and run and it grabs the iso for you grody: err, win7 DVD.. no win8.x's tho cpet: Linux does what I need, wine does what I need for the small amount of programs I use which are win32 based
so I don't need windows
PC took a shit and I just said ah crap can't find my dvd's lets install freebsd
heh grody: PCBSD cpet: but after the constant issues I installed debian grody: thats FreeBSD geared for a desktop, but i couldn't get on with that either cpet: such as buying x and having to find drivers for or edit code to add pci ids grody: i like debian.. but something has be hooked on mint for some very odd reason cpet: i hate gnome3 grody: xfce cpet: but Debian has an option to load Gnome Classic
so bleh grody: lxde is nice too cpet: i have a script that randomly loads a DE grody: lightweight, featureful cpet: so sometimes I runs KDE other time it's xfce, lxde E openbox windowmaker grody: it makes it easy for me to run many terminals on many virtual desktops
wmaker i used to swear by once upon my early days cpet: for some reason BSD on ZFS doesn't allow me to watch movies
will skip
no matter what tunes i changed i couldn't get it to work
server runs like a champ with a capped sysctl
or else server would die with a free mem issue grody: i use the login classes on freebsd to limit what certain processes can do cpet: login classes doesn't work on a fs
you need to limit the arc grody: used to force apache to "pretend" to run out of resources earlier to prevent it killing the server, and stop people thrashing it cpet: i started to use nginx grody: to be honest, i haven't tampered massively with filesystem acl's cpet: I was using hiawatha
then switched to nginx got sick of the rewrite stuff grody: there are some interesting things to be done, but it's a little way above what i realisticly need
yea im looking at switching
apache has become a bloat BryceBot: That's what she said!! cpet: atleast with nginx theres a site that converts to nginx grody: only crapper is i have to tinker with make.conf to make web dependent stuff when i build from sources to use that instead
and a lot of stuff doesn't like it cpet: and if I get more attached to openbsd I will switch over my main server to it grody: never got on with that either hah cpet: i was heavily involved with freebsd but I dropped out of that recently grody: been using it constantly in some form for some time cpet: Linux changes too much BSD has been the same
one day its netfilter another ipchains another iptables grody: yea, but every now and then they make critical changes to core components and it goes all hell and by the time you've caught up, they do the same to something else
oh i've been an ipfw whore for some time
it was from 4.x to 6.x that ipfw changed, a lot cpet: one days its systemd another it's something else grody: i crapped it
dbus, udevd, eventd..
fortunately i still havent had a need for udev
in freebsd cpet: devd does what udev does "technically"
just no DE uses it
cause well no one cares for the BSD's
and it take a lot of fucks to give to make me program something for "free" grody: apple have (alledgedly) provided a lot of contributions to freebsd code cpet: once you get the same amount of drivers for HW grody: my TV runs a freebsd derivitive cpet: and decent support for general stuff
and ofcourse most people will use it BSD license allows companys to create things and not require source to be provided grody: why i say a decent intel graphics.. freebsd/amd is quirky cpet: GPL requires this grody: err.. nvidia/amd
yup cpet: freebsd was donated 1 mil
I dont see anythign worth while done with it besides hosting cons grody: well, apple uses a massive amount of the code in it's OS's cpet: uses doesn't mean it _has_ to contribute back m0unds: the PS3 and PS4 OS' are both derivatives of BSD grody: them too ^
i used to have an ADSL router that was using freebsd derivitive too
was way chuffed for 20 quid cpet: it serves one purpose to play games and a small handful of devices controllers and cameras and such m0unds: i'm sure there's some amount of contribution of bugfixes and whatnot cpet: a desktop requires more something that BSD fails grody: windows for sometime used a chunk of freebsd stuff cpet: such as me going to the store buying a usb thumb drive and failing to work m0unds: msft still contributes bugfixes too cpet: Linux doesnt have this problem since almost all devices have Linux drivers
I am talking about bsd on the desktop
not the fact that BSD runs the playstation m0unds: but having drivers doesn't mean they're good, or beyond basically functional grody: never had an issue with umass in fbsd
my 3g dongles even work in it now
and bluetooth
and most of my wifi adaptors now
using pfsense which is running a 10.x freebsd kernel cpet: I bought 2 of them which failed to work
heh grody: yea it is picky.. i always buy generic chipset types cpet: i buy whats avaialble grody: broadcom bluetooth is usually generic, atheros wifi, intel nics, usb-serial or cdc-ether-usb types
usb webcams are always fun mind
thats is VERY hit and miss cpet: i spent a few hours whinning to some freebsd devs on why they cant leave the ssetuid stuff enable in E
I mean the wm doesn't work without them
you can't change the resolution so whats the point
it's a desktop not the key to the city
any who enough with the ranting mercutio: cpet ipchains to iptables was years ago
like 15+ years ago
iptables has been around for ages now m0unds: yea, i remember ipchains back in the 2.4.x days mercutio: in that time openbsd shifted to pf, freebsd sort of shifted to pf, os x shifted to pf m0unds: along with lilo mercutio: most os's have changed... m0unds: or whatever it was mercutio: ipchains was 2.2
lilo was ick
hah m0unds: oh 2.2
long enough ago that i don't care
haha mercutio: heh m0unds: also, gtx970 is pretty nice. this one runs with its fans off til it hits 60C mercutio: i remember 2.2 reduced my network latency by like 0.2 msec
m0unds: 60c isn't very hot
i wish they'd do it until 80c or something m0unds: it's silent til the fan hits 70% mercutio: my fanless video card runs at aronud 55c normally i think
ahh m0unds: the rest of the fans in the chassis are louder than the gpu fans, and the case ones are 140mm or bigger
so very quiet mercutio: you know hlots of video cards don't run well with fans on 100% all of the time m0unds: yup mercutio: the fans aren't designed for 100% use. m0unds: well, their duty cycle is 100%
typically rated as such
PWM ones, occasionally not
but for the most part, they rate the mtbf and stuff w/it at full duty cycle mercutio: fans on computers are a pita
it's hard to get good fans m0unds: but yeah, this thing is nearly silent mercutio: it's a bloody lottery.
and different fans make different annoying noises. m0unds: was playing the witcher 3, it hit 71C and held there with the fans running at less than 1000rpm mercutio: nice
1000 rpm is a good speed for a fan
3000 rpm is not m0unds: yup mercutio: 1000 rpm fans all around is pretty good way to go m0unds: max temp for the chipset is 91C
so lots of cushion before it would ramp up mercutio: hmm my video card is at 64c atm
i should be able to improve it m0unds: mine's at 34C mercutio: this is radeon 7750
with no fan
