-: sjackso hears the pin
up_the_irons whispers something to sjackso
sjackso: wow, I did not know that about llamas
up_the_irons: It's interesting, right?

up_the_irons: does anyone know what transits AWS uses?
mkb: I wouldn't be surprised if it's different per region
***: mkb_ has joined #arpnetworks
mkb_: crap
my isp has started lying about nxdomain
***: mkb has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
up_the_irons: that sucks
TW at my new place does the same
mkb_: this I notice now because I'm trying to simplify my home net
not run my own resolver etc
mercutio: do they block external port 53
mkb_: no I can still go wherever
mercutio: i am surprised more isp's don't transparently proxy dns
err i mean like capture port 53 traffic and force it to their nameservers
running your own resolver is generally a bid idea
bad
at least for home use
mkb_: better than one that lies
mercutio: yeh
maybe use 4.2.2.1/4.2.2.2 ?
mkb_: I am now
(and my idiot access point reboots to change that for some reason)
BryceBot: YER AN IDIOT mkb_
mercutio: have you run the dns benchmark?
some access points just proxy dns rather than caching
and can actually be more efficient going direct
mkb_: there's a dns benchmark?
mercutio: not that it matters much other than benchmarks
yeh
i'm trying to remmeber the name
mkb_: I can believe that anyway
all I see on google is some windows software
mercutio: it runs on linux and windows
it's python command line
on linux
mkb_: though some isp resolvers are so overloaded
mercutio: https://github.com/catap/namebench
it's cos i used python to find it quicker that i got git first i think :)
mkb_: I'm limited by my cookie deletion
mercutio: you can enter your own, or it knows some public ones
mkb_: seems to defeat some of google's bubbling
there's also google dns but I don't want to give in to the google empire
mercutio: google's dns can be weird here for where stuff comes from
like it'll point to out of region akamai etc
and yeh google is a bit scary now days

-: mercutio tries namebench from arp to see which name server is fastest
mercutio: it's a slightly bad test, as it tests alexa top domains, which public access name servers are more likely to query
from arp opendns is fastest
***: kevr has joined #arpnetworks
kevr: are all of your VPS kernel unlocked?
***: kevr is now known as renamed`
kevr has joined #arpnetworks
mercutio: kvm doesn't lock kernels
***: kevr has quit IRC (Client Quit)
kevr has joined #arpnetworks
renamed` has quit IRC (Quit: WeeChat 1.6)
kevr: gotcha, alright
mercutio: openvz is what seems to the biggest issue with kernels
as it's not full virtualisation
kevr: gotcha
