[03:39] *** mnathani_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) [10:23] time for the bi-weekly removal of things that show up in "pkg audit" [10:27] and updating 9.3-p13 to 9.3-p24 [10:28] oooh... probably gonna be rebooting... [10:28] oh, this one didn't need that! [10:28] except I'll reboot after my ports are reinstalled [10:29] so... switching to adium irc to stay here.

[10:35] *** mnathani_ has joined #arpnetworks [10:40] here goes the reboot... [10:41] ping stop [10:42] waiting for ping to return [10:43] ping return! good sign [10:43] kernel + conf working [10:43] ssh working. whew. [10:44] web not up yet [10:45] ahh… some Perl modules need help [10:47] no… it's the mod_proxy thing… ugh [10:53] reconfiguring my apache to be built with mod_proxy [10:54] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6tnj7IEI0E [10:54] YouTube video: "Tommy Seebach Apache HQ (Original)" by cory2146 [10:56] mod_proxy apparently went from default yes to default no [10:58] rebuilt apache… still waiting on mod_perl and Apache::DBI [11:00] oh darn… wants mod_proxy_ftp too [11:15] everything all good! [11:26] ok, back to irc.el [11:26] *** RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving.) [11:27] *** RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks [12:20] tons of norcal smoke hitting nm the last couple days. yuck. [12:36] the oregon weather forecasts for many major cities are reporting smoke as well. [12:37] yea, my friend up in WA was saying stuff looked "orange" [12:37] southern WA [12:37] reduced our visibility to less than a mile [12:39] not quite as bad as the smoke from eastern AZ a couple years back, but it's gross [17:30] m0unds: Me? Or different friend? :P [17:31] But I can confirm that right now, I can barely see 3 miles through the smoke. [17:31] Yesterday was totally clear! [17:31] Day before, <1mi, everything orange, etc [17:31] Oh and we hit "purple" on the air quality scale [17:31] (green -> yellow -> red -> purple -> black) [17:37] approacing beijing's air quality? :) [17:42] brycec: another friend :) [17:42] vancouver guy, couldn't see the road from his house yesterday but i guess it cleared up a little today [17:43] mercutio: approaching... [17:43] yes [17:43] i'll cut you a sweet deal on some respirators [17:43] it was glaring out at me, but i thought it'd be worse to fix it :) [17:43] * brycec just stays indoors [17:43] that was my solution with smoggy nights in my old city [17:44] makes my eyes sting [17:44] it was only really night that was insane though [17:44] and it was in winter when winter is cold anyway [17:44] but i assume it's all day there [17:44] Luckily enough, it gets quite breezy overnight and blows it away, then it slowly returns starting mid-morning [17:45] yeah, we had lots of wind yesterday that kept it from settling but it was calm and overcast this morning so it just hung out til around 1500 [17:45] so early morning outtings are the best [17:46] hoping this cold front adjusts so colorado can get some of the smoke, it's annoying [17:46] brycec just has to live with it :P [17:46] heh [17:46] * brycec just lives with it [17:46] that stuff can sneak up on you [17:47] i bet if you had a holiday somewhere else, then came back you'd be much more bothered by it [17:48] http://1drv.ms/1EcUDou my buddy shot this from eastern abq looking SW when we were getting smoke from arizona in 2011 [17:49] I just have to step outside for it to hit me [17:50] sucks [18:08] brycec: did you ever struggle with smokeping and polling times taking more than 60 seconds? [18:08] "struggle" is a strong word... [18:09] I've dealt with it, yeah. [18:09] i have one host that seems to be MUCH slower [18:09] and it doesn't seem to be DNS related. [18:09] How odd, since that is suggestion #1 ;) [18:09] ikr [18:09] (use IP's, don't use hostnames) [18:09] i thought it was probably dns related, when it takes a bit over a minute for the fping command and it's more like 23 seconds on other hosts. [18:09] but i dumped port 53 [18:10] it's got a local dns cache, and i bumped min ttl up to 180 [18:10] thinking that'd probably fix it. [18:10] made close to zero difference :( [18:10] Still worth swapping out hostnames with IP's [18:10] But other than that... I dunno [18:11] Especially considering other hosts can do it [18:11] i've been working on making fping have higher ping accuracy [18:11] and i have exactly the same fping binary in two locations [18:11] You could also reduce the number of hosts it has to monitor. [18:11] yeah that's the next thing i've just done [18:11] i took out some stuff that wasnt' respon [18:11] err what [18:11] not that it addresses the cause, but gets that node back in-line at least. [18:12] i took out some stuff that wasn't responding but ps captured it stlil hitting them [18:13] lol if ps still shows it, then you've done something wrong :P [18:13] (eg not restarted things) [18:13] yeah i had done a restart, maybe i didn't take out as much as it hoguht i did [18:14] * brycec shrugs [18:15] it looks like icmp host unreachables could be making it worse [18:15] running in non quiet mode it seems to block on them [18:16] : FPing: NOTE: smokeping took 52 seconds to complete 1 round of polling. This is over 80%% of the max time available for a polling cycl [18:16] woot [18:17] oh wow [18:17] somehow it ran smokeping twice at once [18:18] so maybe that was the central issue [19:24] so if i ping every 500 msec instead of every 1000 msec it's 9x as fast [19:25] so it must be some weird timing thing [21:30] *** mjp_ has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [21:32] *** mjp_ has joined #arpnetworks
