gizmoguy_ is now known as gizmoguy -: grody needs a new job grody: again
mercutio, sorry - got caught up with stuff and cant scroll back enough.. last i see is you're still being curious about the dedi question
i think he found something in the end mercutio: cool
i didn't realise just how many bad options there were :) grody: he moved out to Aus and wanted something reliable mercutio: ahh grody: why do some employers assume because you can master their billing/order system, you must be a guru mercutio: australia has better data centre selection than new zealand grody: aye, i think cost was an issue too :P mercutio: that brings down cost.
colo prices are high here
even before bandwidth etc.
hardware is a bit expensive too
but it's the colo prices that make everything kind of insane grody: oh wait, Auckland
not Aus mercutio: yeah i'm in auckland not australia
did you think i was in australia grody: nah i knew you were NZ
why i asked mercutio: yeah
rendrag may do dedicated in australia
if the guy is still looking grody: think he found something eventually
appears to be routing via vocus
i suspect thats Aus though mercutio: vocus eww :/
is it via japan for you? ***: nesta has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
nesta has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: serversaustralia do vocus i think ***: rendrag has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) grody: NYC, ASH, LAX, lax.ca, sydney mercutio: heh tracing to rendrag's domain routes via vocus grody: yea, it terminates in Aus
hah ***: neish has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) mercutio: it's like 320 msec via US both directions, and 360+ routing via asia grody: lax.ca & sjc.ca
305 for me mercutio: yeh the other direction may go via asia if it's high ping ***: jbergstroem has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) mercutio: yeah that's probably US direct.
and the cheaper cables. ***: plett has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) mercutio: somehow i'm getting 255 msec ping to uk now grody: i bet it's not that bad from ARP..
was doing it from UK mercutio: yeah cut 160 off it probably
maybe 140 ***: KDE_Perry has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
plett has joined #arpnetworks grody: crap.. jail isn't allowing raw sockets, or bloody --udp
what the hell! mercutio: heh
security?
udp is curious though grody: default setting mercutio: ping is kind of insecure grody: aye, wont allow creating non TCP/UDP (even icmp as 'root'
i can change it, thought i had
yea, ICMP is kinda funny for trojans etc. ***: jbergstroem has joined #arpnetworks grody: always makes me paranoid, especially since i generally allow inbound pings mercutio: well it's more that every process has to listen for icmp at once
so you get everyone elses responses and decide which ones you want ***: KDE_Perry has joined #arpnetworks
neish has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: hmm serversaustralia isn't cheap either gizmoguy: under my desk is free if you want to colo stuff near AU
got pretty good Vocus peering brycec: Wow, so generous! gizmoguy: yeah and I only cost a beer a week! brycec: I thought you said "free" ;P mercutio: heh
an ipa beer a week?
so how big is your desk gizmo :) gizmoguy: it's quite large
well so large I have 2 desks in my office mercutio: heh

send him something like taht :/
i can't find anything large on trademe :/
did find this cheap though http://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/servers/servers/auction-943118844.htm gizmoguy: I have two super-ancient Compaq blade chassis I could haul in here and host a VPS service on
p3 800mhz CPUs
12 blades per machine mercutio: haha gizmoguy: any buyers? mercutio: your poor ears brycec: WHAAAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU, mercutio gizmoguy: I have headphones mercutio: heh
do you have gigabit internet? gizmoguy: yip mercutio: maybe you should start hosting then :) gizmoguy: I have 10gig too mercutio: cool
can you do 10 gigabit to the US? gizmoguy: for selected routes mercutio: internet2 routes? gizmoguy: yeah brycec: How's powe?
*power? mercutio: probably better than power at my home :/ -: mercutio had a power cut last month gizmoguy: runs straight to a substation mercutio: they're what go wrong! brycec: I was getting at backup battery/generator, not amount of power available gizmoguy: we've had a few micro-blips recently though
car smashed into a powerpole which took out 4 streets mercutio: that's pretty impressive gizmoguy: and that meant the substation dropped a few cycles for whatever reason mercutio: here it'd take out multiple suburbs :) gizmoguy: WEL networks have a pretty good setup
I don't understand their setup but it works
the 4 streets weren't next to each other mercutio: yeah it's kind of disturbing when you realise the substation is 10+km away
and that everywhere between you and there is out
not that i ever had high expectations for auckland power :)
with led lights you can't see blips right? brycec: Depends. But LED lights are already blipping because they're driven by PWM
(well, they're modulated by PWM) mercutio: ahh i haven't noticed brycec: Exactly mercutio: some monitors pwm is quite noticable brycec: You're not supposed to notice ;P mercutio: especially when you dim then

my name is too long :( brycec: gizmoguy: You just need a better IRC client - weechat lines up all messages (rather than by nick) gizmoguy: :O
I have been considering switching away from irssi for a while now... brycec: No better reason than "it makes you look fat" :) mercutio: did you register gizmoguy yet? gizmoguy: I think I did mercutio: cool
i wonder how many less ddos's efnet would have had if they had services
