I like using Twitter because it's completely separate from us, so even if our LA data center was nuked, I could tweet that fact and everyone would know ;)
assuming you werent vaporized along with LA
oh dude that reminds me

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Hand_%28nuclear_war%29
Dead Hand (nuclear war) :: Dead Hand (Russian: Система «Периметр», Systema "Perimetr", 15Э601), also known as Perimeter, was a Cold-War-era nuclear-control system used by the Soviet Union. General speculation from insiders alleges that the system remains in use in post-Soviet Russia. An example of fail-deadly deterrence, it can automatically trigger the launch of the Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) if a nucle
you need that
up_the_irons: Does mercutio have access to the Twitter account? :)
brycec: no, i don't.
brycec: no
Well maybe he should, in case Los Angeles is wiped off the map :P
i think of los angeles was wiped off the map it would be in the news
and people would know about it :)
LOL
heh
But they might still assume their VPS and colo'd machines are okay, safe inside a datacenter...
but the point is well taken; we should have human RAID1
brycec: hahahahahah
brycec: they might be :)
despite however peppered in radioactive fallout
they'll probably still keep going for a little while at least
i don't know for sure
may cause a few bit flips but no big deal
aren't things moving from radioactive to chemical weapons?
Never know until we try it! #NotAdvocatingGlobalThermonuclearWar
yes zombies
world war z inspired them to do things right because they saw the mountain of zombies and were like oh shit thats a really good idea, we should do that
I hear the book was like a completely different story
I haven't read it before though
lol
not really my thing

[and is now figuring out if it's a box issue or ARP]
brycec: what's the box label?
stl21
last I "heard" from it was ~15 minutes ago
(And I don't want to fight the IPMI battle, but looks like I'll have to)
I'm in our cage right now.  Took a look at it.  Seems alright.
But I can judge only from it's lights
heh, thanks for looking.
Was running md5's on some big files, so could've choked on IO I suppose
if you'd like a hard reboot at some point, just lmk
Thanks - IPMI works so I can reboot if needed
saves you having to push the IPMI power button
ok cool
(SOL doesn't, but I don't remember if I set that up)
SOL won't work unless you set it up, yeah
or rather, it'll work, but if you don't have anything talking to the serial port, then...
lol I know
ouch
but only *some* of the Proxy settings, totally ignores the "No proxy for" settings
\o/ OOM \o/
lol rly
yep really
up_the_irons: Is the IPMI NIC separate from the dual-GBE ports?
brycec: yes
Hm. I was thinking unplugging the Internet from it would allow it a chance to catch up, but probably not. I'm probably better off pushing the reset button :(
well i can unplug the nics if you like ;)
I just sent reset ;)
But thanks for the offer/willingness
np
16GB RAM, 16GB swap, and it OOM'd :(
brycec: running Linux or FreeBSD?
Linux
what do you have running on top of it, if you don't mind me asking
Proxmox
(I don't mind)
happen to have a lot of VMs, or?
mercutio and I are actually building a Linux / ZFS box for VMs...
so your experience scares me ;)
but we'll have 96GB RAM
And in Proxmox, a variety of things: servers with databases, web stuff, mail and dns backups, Splunk, etc. But yeah the flexibility/control/cost is important.
I love ZFS absolutely, but I wouldn't really recommend running mission-critical applications on Linux-ZFS. It's not perfect, it has its periodic quirks.
brycec: anything in logs?
Oh and without question, SSD at least for a cache and logging vdev.
brycec: over allocating memory is the biggest concern with zfs atm
if you have a reasonable amount of headroom you're fine
(Not that I have an SSD in my Metal box, but I wish I did :p it makes a huge IO boost)
on older versions of zfs it's advised to raise /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
ssd caching doesn't help much except for metadata ime
with zfs at least
you use up ram with the tables as well
I'll check into exact memory usage in the morning
are you doing l2arc bryce?
Most recently I setup a box with a pair of 1TB drives in zfs-mirro. Performance was abysmal once the RAM buffers filled up. Slap in a cheap SSD and the thing soars now.
Yeah
(Also RAM usage dropped once the cache vdev was added, for obvious reasons)
brycec: how big is your l2arc?
On that system, 50GB, <1GB usage last I checked.
<1GB usage heh
you may as well use zfs set secondarycache=metadata
but i'd go for smaller l2arc than that on 16gb of ram
The machine in question (with the SSD) only has 8GB RAM actually
[Not to be confused with my ARP machine tonight)
ahh
yeah i've seen l2arc be a problem with memory
[ARP machine has no l2arc, so things can get sticky)
ahh
brycec: i hit some serious performance deficits when i was trying to test low memory usage to eradicate caching :)
problem is with a 48gb server using hard-disks it takes ages to benchmark when you have to go above capacity
so i tried something silly low
2gb i think it was
brycec: my home linux box has 16gb with zfs
doesn't seem to be a problem
and that's with chrome etc running on it
and with more ram around that i had earmarked to upgrade with
i don't think 16gb should be in the generally difficult carea
area
Like I said earlier, was doing heavy IO so apparently the ARC and everything else were in contention and before I knew up 6GB of RAM went out the window.
is everything zfs?
..I'll check twiiter..
I was in the car so couldn't tweet...
ah hehe no worries
Im gonna crash I'll check in the morning
g'nite!
yeah was just gonna say I'm having trouble with OOB but that might be obvious catch you later
i'll take a look
seems up now it came up while I wasnt watching
in OOB?
web console connected alright for me
yeah there was a little lag getting connected to the OOB bastion via ssh and I was trying to debug it but it seems fine now I'm not really sure how it works was just looking at ssh -vvv
it was connecting and authing but nothing was coming up.
roger that
mercutio: Yeah, ZFS root. (Because that's what Proxmox likes to do these days, and I can't say as I blame it because it's nice.)
up_the_irons: is the zfs server with 96 gb ram headed for Germany, or LAX?
germany
supermicro server board?
I have one.

sigh.
so close and yet so far
I dont really have a choice but to give it up at this point because I cant afford that
not to mention what good would it really do having been a ketamine/mxe user in the past, its temporary.
and I'm pretty sure the last thing anybody wants or needs is a scathing suicidal nutcase like me so I'm done and I need to find what really makes me happy which is not this shit
and I just gotta make it stop, the nitrous the adderal the estrogen injections the effexor the klonopin the job its all gotta away
dare I even say facebook
I dont think anybody here can relate but thats okay you don't want to and I don't want you to either but yeah I'm I think I'm giving up everything
my feelings are pretty uncompromising about this
I just want to live my life and be happy and be a woman and my interests are not aligned with what the "average" customers interests (eg: create-saml-provider) are
fuck an mfa device
``aws iam help'' what do you they need me for
heh, saml
AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean
rolls eyes, http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/working-with-templates-cfn-designer.html meh!
I'm way more interested in algorithms https://gist.github.com/cloudkitsch/a214ca4e0467ff2a2db968ecca6cbe3a
but at the same time I dont care about money either because it doesn't make me happy
so fuck being a quant
I'm happy to do it for somebody else who would appreciate it but my interests are skin deep in the thing
