is there any tld I can use for a private network that icann has promised not to sell?
RFC 2606 says .test, .example, .invalid, .localhost.
.icannhaz, .icannsux, .icannworstever...
more seriously, I suppose you could look at what opennic has defined: http://wiki.opennicproject.org/OpenNICNamespaces , though I don't see a reason why icann couldn't sell colliding tlds someday
there's a rfc that says example, test, invalid, and localhost are reserved
I guess test is the best one
oh yeah mike-burns mentioned the rfc
no localdomain? i think i saw some (mail-related?) application using localhost.localdomain when not configured. looks nice.
There's no guarantee that localdomain won't become a TLD in the future.
what
could someone make a TLD called localdomain?
next you're going to say we should use the rest of 127.0.0.0/8 except 127.0.0.1/32 as we're running out of ip addresses
IPv6 seems super laggy right now?
Yeah, IPv6 is totally busted.
what's it doing mhoran ?
Seems better now, but it was unusable from home via ssh (just super laggy typing in weechat) and also weechat was showing 12 second lag to freenode.
ahh.  did it last long?
maybe 30min.
When building a custom kernel for a linux VM, is it ideal to use the No-Op I/O scheduler, which in theory should just leave everything up to the host I/O scheduler and not double-complicate things?
deadline gives pretty similar performance tbh
but no-op vs deadline vs cfq is minor
cfq has some advantages if you want to make use of it's advanced features
usually people who test these things just do a single user doing read/write etc... when disk performance more matters under higher load
which is much harder to test..
hmm
Looks like EFI could be useful, for building a simpler kernel that uses ACPI "Reduced Hardware" mode.  https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/ACPI/AcpiReducedHw
I will give it a try regardless ;)
let us know how it goes :)
how does 95th percentile billing work for bandwidth? Stats has never been one of my strong suites
wikipedia describes it
samples are taken periodically (say, every 5 minutes), and the top 5% are thrown away, what is left is what you're billed for (that is, the 95th percentile)
this makes it so one can burst, and not be penalized, for the most part
you can burst quite a lot
in a month, that's 36 available hours that are not "tracked", so-to-speak
but if you leave bittorrent seeding at 100 megabit for 2 days then you get charged for 100 megabit
right :)
whats the relation between monthly transfer and percentile, or does it only matter how much of the time you burst and not your actual monthly transfer?
brycec: your backlit keyboard looks really cool
it's only how much you burst
but you can only burst as fast as you can transfer
so you might be able to do say 500 megabit for 4% of the time and 5 megabit the rest of the time
and it's still accounted for as 500 megabi
nathani: no relation, they measure different things.  one is speed, the other is quantity.
