mercutio: I can't imagine many IXPs accepting a member who only has a /28 of soembody else's address space
https://twitter.com/arpnetworks/status/609286905834766336 I wonder if that fixed your VPS panic issue

brycec ^
let's see if bryce continues to get crashes
plett: one of the small ones here did
although it was a kind of metro ethernet thing
mercutio: Wow. Did they at least have an ASN?
didn't need asn
allowed it i mean
Ahh. Point-to-point link?
like small companies etc
it was like a huge ethernet network
with lots of buildings in central city having ethernet
and being able to get a port cheap compared to other options..
And you used a small block of IPs from another ISP? Presumably the original ISP okayed that
i dunno, i never did it
i just remember reading about it
If it's a private closed network, you can pretty much do whatever you want. That won't fly if you want to connect to the internet
yeah that's what i mean
if you want to connect to a voip provider or such it's fine though
people used to always advertise isp owned address space here fwiw
like that's how the internet started...
Well
before APNIC, ARIN etc..
there wasn't clear ownership
like when yo see impoted from on a subnet
There was clear assignment. Jon Postel maintained a list
maybe not in NZ as much
Even today, 'ownership' is probably the wrong term to use
it was before my time..
yeah
it's messy
apparently a lot of /24s are being sold/bought etc now.
it used to be pretty common for small companies to have a /24
Yeah. We bought a block of pre-RIR legacy space a few weeks ago
i don't even know how much ip address space is worth now days
i heard a figure of $5/IP
but that seems cheap
There isn't really a single price. It's really just down to how desparate the buyer is
I wasn't involved in the commercial side, just the technical bit. But we paid somehwere in the ballpark of a few hundred GBP for a /24
I'm not even sure why we did it. I can't see us having a use for it any time soon
that sounds cheap
doesn't hurt
it'll be worth 1000 GBP easy soon
apparently people are buying up whole "legacy" companies to get ip address space.
i mean it's that or nat
like say you wanted to start a vps provider, with apnic you can get a /22... so you're limited to 1000 customers or something if they each get one ip..
There is a business model in becoming a new RIPE LIR and getting an assignment of a /22, then selling the whole thing
RIPE are in the process of closing that loophole: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2015-01
and you can't exactly have NAT for a VPS provider :)
so if you want to grow, you buy another vps provider :)
With the added bonus that it comes with an existing customer base
and probably solusvm :/
i wonder if up_the_irons has considered buying out other vps providers to get a second location going
nope
i don't have that kind of money
ajj
ahh
my google foo is failing again.  i don't know much vps providers sell for

wish i would have seen this when we talked about apple music the other day: http://lefsetz.com/wordpress/index.php/archives/2015/06/10/apple-music/
summarizes it pretty well (ouch)
did you see the youtube video?
which?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atfNL0_KAcs
YouTube video: "BBC mistakes cab driver for IT-expert" by f0xmuld3r
well it's years ago
lol
and only semi related, but it seems to be going around facebook
that's funny
i wodner why your link doesn't work for me
not working for me either anymore
i just read it a moment ago
haha
oh
weird
did you hear about the route leak?
nope
level3 leaked a whole lot of routes
enough to shut down peoples bgp sessions etc.
like a full table leak :/
it came from malaysia telecom
who had just posted that thing on twitter i linked
apparently it was mostly europe that got damaged badly
dunno why
oh, that
yeah, saw the happy friday thing
ouch
http://www.bgpmon.net/massive-route-leak-cause-internet-slowdown/
that's a more informative thing about it
that site loaded really slow, but i pastebinned the dude's post: http://pastebin.com/x2uFFqdN (the apple music thing)
pastebin loaded real fast :/
of leftsetz loaded sometime for me too
maybe it got put on slsahot or doesn't
slashdot
it says wordpress
they probably haven't enabled caching :/
which means it scales like siht
shit
i wish that stuff would be automatic :/
yeah
i saw it posted in a few places, probably getting hammered
i better get to bed
That's what she said!!
it's like 2:30 am here
thats my hour!
daytime has this side effect in the UK, all the idiots are solar powered
allthough im starting to suspect thats a worldwide phenomena
w
Yes, yes it is, grody.
brycec: is your crashing vps working ok?
(well too soon to know if it'll crash again)
correct
And before the kvr18 reboot it had run for longer than its previous crash runtime
Will be days before I know at the earliest
ahh ok
Before its two recent crashes, it had run for a month without issue
well it was being tempermental before
so it may have got worse for all i know :)
:p
how would performance compare going with a current gen i7 processor vs say dual xeon when building my own workstation? Ie: is it work the money/ performance / value going for the second processor? Workload will involve running several VMs simultaneously.
are all vms going to be hammering the cpu constantly?
because i think the largest benefit you'd see would be if they were all pretty busy and you were able to spread the load out more
vms will be light on cpu usage
test vms - various server os and linux
ah
if you were going to be running tons of busy vms, it might be worth it
but going smp with current gen xeons + multiproc mobos would be super pricey
From what you've described, even a mid-range i5 could work for you
yeah
Which is to say, even my i5-2400 which I used for my desktop (heavy-ish) and test VMs (VirtualBox, mix of lightweight and Windows) was easily up to the task
I do run Photoshop / Premiere Pro on occasion
no gaming though
I should probably note that my desktop was Linux. With Windows as a host, I wouldn't expect the same kind of performance (because Windows is just a hog, generally.)
my current setup is 3 years old - i7 960, 24 GB ram  Windows 8.1 host - VMs alternate between Virtualbox and Vmware Workstation
current gen i7 would use less power, maybe 15% faster ipc
looks like 15-35% faster ipc, depending on operation
mnathani_: what kind of dual xeons do you mean?
you're stuck with 32gb maximum on shitty serers.
servers
w/dual, not so much
if you want to go 48gb you can do for e5620 or such
something like Intel Xeon E5-2620 v2 Ivy Bridge-EP 2.1GHz 15MB L3 Cache LGA 2011 80W BX80635E52620V2 Server Processor
96gb dual e5620
for smp of any kind, iirc, you have to go e5
mnathani_: i wouldn't spend that much for personal use :/
E5s are major overkill for home use
e5-2620s are really slow too :/
you could build a separate i7 box just for vms for less than it would cost to build that
static: e5620s are like $100 for cpu :/
and 6 core with hyper threading
so with dual it's like having 24 cpus :)
still overkill, tons of juice, not really a great idea for low use vms
haha
m0unds: 5620s are pretty light on power usage
i wouldn't say that at all
That's what she said!!
BryceBot: no
Oh, okay... I'm sorry. 'i wouldn't say that at all'
5500 series is a good improvement over 5400
5600 a good improvement over 5500
it's really only if you want more than 32gb of ram
i test vm's on a g3258 :/
with 16gb of ram
I have an i7-4770, I would recommend it for your uses mnathani_
i7-4770s are pertty great, as long as you're fine with 32gb of ram
Intel Core i7-4820K Ivy Bridge-E Quad-Core 3.7GHz (Turbo 3.9GHz) LGA 2011 130W BX80633i74820K Desktop Processor
how is that one
mnathani_: i'd go haswell..
the desktop extreme class is really expensive normally
and you don't really need to overclock
mm
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Supermicro-M-board-X8DTL-3F-with-IPMI-SAS-SATA-I-OShield-2xSNK-P0037P-RAM-CPU-/321780349179?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item4aeb9a78fb
 Integrated IPMI 2.0 with Dedicated LAN < thats cool
i like how he says "pooled from worked environment"
the biggest benefit to skt 2011 configs for workstations is that you can install more ram
and spend way more money on cpus w/more cores
but that's about it
m0unds: yeh but you get the same diff from the server stuff with dual cpus
and you can stick a second cpu in later and more ram still
ok well that server omotherboard has dual intel ethernet, dedicated ipmi more
remote kvm
onboard sas controller
but it lacks sata3
and things like sata3 is where dekstop stuff can be better
as well as having faster ram speeds
also you have to use registered ram to use lots of memory
and more pcie lanes
and other stuff
i dunno last i saw the extreme series was like 2x as expensive as i7-4770
when you factor in motherboard too
that's why i mentioned that you could build two 4770 boxes for the price of one of the other
it's liek $600 vs $300 for cpu, $400 vs $150 for motherboard or somethig
ahh ok :)
yeh mnathani how's that for an idea
build two i7-4770 boxes :)
also, if you want to go i7-4770 you can just go e3-1240v3
or such
indeed
as long as you don'tneed onboard video
or the +5 for onboard video
then you can use ecc ram
you may not care about ecc though
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-E3-1245V3-SR14T-3-40GHZ-8MB-5GT-s-LGA-1150-Socket-H3-Quad-Core-CPU-/141689122324?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20fd546e14
ebay is funny
so this seller says he won't sell to anyone in florida..
but yeah e3 cpus aren't expensive really
the motherboards cost more...
i'd buy new for a current cpu though
rather than risk random ebay sellers
recently maxed out my desktop with 32GB of RAM, I'm all set for now
I suppose a GPU upgrade would be nice
just need your gpu to blow up and then you have an excuse
although i don't recommend that route
heh
hahah
(mine did it a couple weeks back)
why not just go g3258 16gb ram?
it's cheap
i doubt your requirements are really that steep, and they have great single threaded performance and cost a lot less :)
i think it's like $60 US for g3258
and just get a cheap motherboard with 4 slots.
err with 4 memory slots
do 16gb now, upgrade to 32gb later.
and do ssd raid
and you're set :)
disk is usually more of a bottleneck than cpu
oh hangon mnathani_ you're trying to use the same computer for desktop and server stuff?
just keep the i7 960 for desktop stuff and get a computer for server stuff
two i7s, now thats an idea
mercutio: dont really have server workloads, more like some testing on different Operating systems and such
yeh g3258 or i7 then
so I gather dual xeon is just way too expensive and overkill for my needs
i3s and i5s are bad value
mnathani_: well dual xeon 5600 series isn't too expensive
what about the 6-core i7
but would use more power
i wouldn't go for the 6 core i7
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Matched-Pair-of-Two-2-Intel-Xeon-E5620-Quad-Core-2-40GHz-SLBV4-CPU-Processors-/271649222954?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f3f8e312a
e5620s are amazingly cheap now :/
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5620+%40+2.40GHz
but compare the performance compared to e3-1240v3
https://cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5620+%40+2.40GHz&id=1249&cpuCount=2
second link is dual cpu
so dual e5620 is actually slower than single e3-1240v3..
ohit was 5640 with 6 cores i think
ahh l5640 i was thinking of for 6 core
which are slightly more expensive
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-ProLiant-DL160-G6-1U-2x-XEON-HEX-CORE-L5640-2-26GHz-4xTRAYS-24GB-DDR3-SPECIAL-/281642808828?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41933835fc
something liek that isn't that epxensive though
but 1u boxes suck for home use
put that sucker in a box and fill it with expanding foam
I have one of these gathering dust: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-PowerEdge-T605-QC-AMD-Opteron-2350-2GHz-8GB-4X-2GB-2X-1TB-SATA-HDD-/121662799414?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c53aafe36
32GB Ram, 2 x quad core AMD Opteron
yeh opterons suck
but why aren't you using it?
its just too loud to use in my room
yaeh
its in my apartment
it's easier to go quiet with desktop hardware
yep
i had a dual opteron server for a while - only coolers i could find that fit it were 1u dynatron blowers (8000rpm)
i'm actually running my i7-3770 on my windows box with no cpu fan.
just the case fan and a huge heatsync
seems to go fine.
liquid cooling?
ahh
nope
i wondered how it would go, so i tried it :)
and it's only windows :)
how about a heatsink though
i'm using a big thermaltake one
reading back now
you have a heatsink
thermaltake tower.
yeh i have a huge heatsync
it's 120 or 140mm or something
http://www.ixbt.com/cpu/heatpipe-giants-shootout/silent-tower-heatsink.jpg
something like that kind of thing
cool
it's not that one because it has 8 weird circular things in the end
but they're not too expensive..
it's more expensive not using any hard-disks :)
going ssd only and having a decent amount of storage starts adding up..
do you know of any workstation motherboards that have ipmi / kvm over ip
supermicro are common to get on ebay
or new
you can get hp stuff with lights out easy, but you don't tend to get just the motherboard.
lenovo are meant to do lights out too, but i've never touched any of it
i dunno if it was ibm or lenovo now
but they tend to use lsi controllers which is good
do you have another room your apartment?
lights out increases power use too  btw
also a lot of the server motherboards are e-atx
so you need a bigger than normal case
there are other rooms, but are inhabited by other residents who would not be happy hosting server gear
yip
colo!
colo would be my preference
get that shit away from me! :)
if you've got lights out then colo you can even screw around with plenty
and you can just stick it in without doing any install or anything
adn do everythign remote :/
i love virtual media :)
bbs
how is this motherboard: Asus SABERTOOTH X99 ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
not sure
looks expensive :)
it's ddr4, which you still pay a premium for memory for
2011-v3 is ddr4
good to know and watch out for
does 2011 support 64 GB ram?
it's not insane
$275 US for 32gb of ram
it's quad channel, so you kind of want to go straight to 32gb..
i think 16gb sticks will come out for ddr4
that motherboard does x4 m2 :)
https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_X79/
that one is 2011
and supports 64 Gb
yeh you can go 64gb right now with that motherboard
128gb in the future i imagine
ddr3 can't do 16gb sticks on desktops cos of intel bug
otherwise we'd be able to get 16gb sticks easier :)

brycec: after talking about TRIM on third party drives w/OSX the other day - there's a new tool in el capitan that enables TRIM on third party devices
throws up "OMGZ YUR DATAZ MIGHT GET CORRUPTED AN STUFF" errors, but it does enable TRIM
so maybe apple is softening their stance on that
but requiring signed drivers sounds bad in general
it should be optional
maye with a warning
m0unds: ohhh?
link?
one sec
