It's not like the NSA is watching. grody: haha <br> my bot is called FBI too :o <br> tbh though, anyone who has downloaded tor is already on the NSA watchlist <br> aight, emailed some of these hosting companies about this email i got and one has already got back to me <br> sounding VERY worried -: grody bets it's a skiddies shell hunting expo ***: TandyUK has joined #arpnetworks <br> TandyUK has left brycec: The channel bot at work is "NSA_Monitoring_Station" :D <br> (It replaced "FBI_Surveillance_Van") twobithacker: heh, NSA Monitoring Station used to be the SSID on my open guest AP ***: gooddesignusa has joined #arpnetworks gooddesignusa: Hey everyone, I was thinking of getting 2 VPS's from arpnetworks and was curious if bandwidth is counted when they talk to each other since they are on the same network? brycec: <u>gooddesignusa</u>: Nope that would not count against bandwidth. <br> Bandwidth is measured at the upstream router, so only traffic to/from the Internet would count. ***: tabthorpe has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) <br> tabthorpe has joined #arpnetworks gooddesignusa: great, thanks for the quick response <br> I was thinking of settig up a VPS to run pfsense ***: gooddesignusa has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving.) <br> brycec has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) <br> mjp__ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) <br> mjp_ has joined #arpnetworks <br> brycec has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: <u>grody</u>: i tihnk everyone is on the NSA watchlist <br> they watch everyone :) mike-burns: Only people within four hops of a suspected terrorist, as I understand it. brycec: ping/traceroute hops? <br> Because that would be a pretty wide net ;p mrsaint: rather NSA watching everyone even if you want to or not. <br> :) pjs: are there any internal networking issues that you all know of? <br> I seem to be getting lots of failures between 2 servers (comm failures) between nginx (proxy) and uwsgi (app server) <br> and I've never really had this happen in the past mercutio: comms failures? pjs: Sorry, like dropped connections <br> It could be app issues but it's across many apps so it's odd mercutio: you could put a ticket in <br> but not aware of anything breaking connections or such mnathani_: how do folks deal with rotating backups? For instance, I hav a cronjob that backs up all databases off to a remote server. It does this every week. I usually dont care to keep backups older than 15 weeks if I have not needed them for so long - chances are I am never going to need them. At this point I find myself deleting old backups manually every couple of months. pjs: mnathani_, I use this https://bitbucket.org/petersanchez/webutils/src/22c1314f5206cc309e191007d84f86199bf9f278/webutils/cleanup/?at=default <br> basically I create db backups every 4 hours (usually), store them on local disk and on S3.. I run that cronjob nightly to remove backups (locally and in S3) older than 7 days.. <br> it's not a gorgeous piece of code but I wrote it years ago and it still works just fine so... *shrugs* <br> and I use tarsnap for system backups.. that manages everything for me ***: s10g has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) <br> s10g has joined #arpnetworks <br> gooddesignusa has joined #arpnetworks mnathani_: thanks pjs, had heard about tarsnap before but looking into it now again. The deduplication feature sounds really handy <br> what benefit would someone get by running pfsense in a VPS? <br> I thought it was primarily a firewall ***: dj_goku has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) <br> gooddesignusa has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving.) <br> dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks mnathani_: when you tarsnap say a directory with a bunch of files in it, can you retrieve say a single file or a bunch of files, or do you have to retreive the entire tarball ?
