| 09:57 | <iggy> | no |
| 09:57 | <djsmith> | Thanks iggy. |
| 09:58 | <kvandivo> | there's a concept i've never heard of |
| 09:58 | <tjfontaine> | just like sprint! |
| 09:58 | <djsmith> | My ISP does it -- just wondering if perhaps Linode did it too. |
| 09:59 | <djsmith> | Encourages large transfers during off peak hours. |
| 09:59 | <iggy> | your isp uses it as an incentive to lessen load during the day, linode doesn't have such problems |
| 10:00 | <djsmith> | Yup. |
| 10:00 | <djsmith> | But Linode's ISP might. |
| 10:01 | <iggy> | hosting ISPs don't generally have that problem |

| 10:38 | <timber> | heya mike |
| 10:38 | <@mikegrb> | timber: yeah, I've been watching the host since then |
| 10:38 | <timber> | just went though a bad slowdown.... |
| 10:38 | <timber> | did you see it? |
| 10:38 | <@mikegrb> | host cpu and io has been excellent, I'd imagine it is the least loaded host we have |
| 10:38 | <@mikegrb> | no, not on the host, the host was fine |
| 10:38 | <@mikegrb> | so I'd suggest investigating the mysql avenue |
| 10:39 | <kvandivo> | you know.. not many companies have tech support that would stay away for 24 hours continually typing 'top' on a host just to see if anything has gone awry |

| 16:17 | <Deckert> | ummm ... anybody know how to mount an empty disk image under an existing Linode? |
| 16:18 | <Deckert> | Or should I reboot my linode for the disk to become visible so I can mount it? |
| 16:18 | <tjfontaine> | once it's in your config profile I believe you must reboot to see the new disk |
| 16:19 | <Deckert> | aha ... thought it may be something like that |
| 16:19 | [~] | Deckert reboots |
| 16:22 | [~] | Deckert scratched his head ... |
| 16:22 | <Deckert> | doesn't seem to have done it ... |
| 16:22 | <Deckert> | I see the following on my kernel command-line |
| 16:23 | <Deckert> | ubda=/linodes/tva/xxxxx.fs ubdb=/linodes/tva/xxxxx.fs where xxxxx is a number |
| 16:23 | <@caker> | Deckert: did you add it to your Configuration Profile before booting? |
| 16:24 | <Deckert> | I guess that identifies my partition in the global storage |
| 16:24 | <@caker> | because .. it's not there |
| 16:24 | <Deckert> | hmm... |
| 16:24 | <Deckert> | indeed! |
| 16:24 | <tjfontaine> | caker: I treid to tell him :) |
| 16:24 | <tjfontaine> | damn my typing. |
| 16:25 | <Deckert> | tjfontaine, you did try - I was reading too fast (or is that badly?) to see the first part .... |
| 16:26 | <Deckert> | caker, thanks. |
| 16:26 | <tjfontaine> | :) |
| 16:26 | <tjfontaine> | that's why I said it first |
| 16:26 | <Deckert> | *grin* |
| 16:26 | <Deckert> | caker: perhaps add a short note when the image is created? (Remember to add the newly created image to your profile before you restart your linode) |
| 16:27 | <Deckert> | especially for nitwits like me :-) |
| 16:31 | <Deckert> | caker, I'm sure you hear this often, but once again, thanks for a great service. I'm in South Africa and there is simply no better service that I could find. |

| 18:39 | <AndyHat> | Looks like somebody's killing host28 again. |
| 18:45 | <@caker> | AndyHat: we can move you to a much faster box, but it would require an IP change -- interested? |
| 18:46 | <AndyHat> | Sure. |
| 18:49 | <AndyHat> | Well, it'll probably be tomorrow before we can do the changeover, since I don't think i can reach all of the node's users tonight. |
| 18:49 | <@caker> | AndyHat: ok -- I'll configure the migration and IP now -- you can initiate it when you're ready |
| 18:50 | <AndyHat> | Cool. Thanks! |
| 18:50 | <@caker> | AndyHat: just know, that the new IP will become active on reboot -- regardless if you migrate or not |
| 18:50 | <efudd> | Hmmm. |
| 18:50 | <@caker> | and it obviously won't be routed until you migrate |
| 18:52 | <AndyHat> | OK. I'll make sure we get migrated ASAP. |

| 19:22 | <tronix> | :) |
| 19:22 | <tronix> | don't mind if so |
| 19:23 | <@caker> | how do you feel about an IP/datacenter change? That's where the super-duper new hosts reside currently |
| 19:23 | [~] | tronix thinks |
| 19:24 | <tronix> | I like the idea but I've probably got to work out logistics |
| 19:24 | <tronix> | since I host a NS |
| 19:24 | <@caker> | ok -- lemme see what's in your current dc.. |
| 19:24 | <tronix> | otherwise, I can probably suck it in and live with it if it's just |
| 19:24 | <tronix> | 'one of these days' |
| 19:27 | <@caker> | It very well may not be -- I'd prefer to get a few people off tha box to lighten the load a bit. |
| 19:27 | <tronix> | gotcha |
| 19:27 | <@caker> | Unfortunatly, nothing open in the current DC |
| 19:27 | <tronix> | understood |
| 19:27 | <@caker> | Did I mention how super-duper the new hosts are? :) |
| 19:27 | <tronix> | hahaha |

| 19:28 | <@mikegrb> | mmm cake |
| 19:28 | <tronix> | mmm cake |
| 19:28 | <tronix> | caker: how about if you can give me a preallocated new IP now, then |
| 19:29 | <tronix> | I can update the NS |
| 19:29 | <tronix> | wait 1 hr for propagation |
| 19:29 | <@mikegrb> | good boy |
| 19:29 | <tronix> | then move? |
| 19:29 | <tronix> | and I'll sort it out with the registrar |

| 19:35 | <@mikegrb> | maybe some new airport base stations |
| 19:35 | <@caker> | I'm thinking either an Apple TV + iTV thing, OR the iPhod |
| 19:35 | <@mikegrb> | probably stuff related to the itv |

| 19:36 | <@mikegrb> | apple spread sheet program in iworks or whatever it is called |

| 19:37 | <@caker> | wireless transmission to speakers through iTunes |
| 19:37 | <@tasaro> | It's our best airport express yet! |
| 19:37 | <@mikegrb> | yeah the express is pretty cool |
| 19:37 | <@mikegrb> | and good price for what it can do |
| 19:37 | <@mikegrb> | does usb print server or some such too doesn't it? |
| 19:38 | <@tasaro> | Yeah, too bad they disable the ethernet port when you are bridging it with another wireless router... |
| 19:39 | <@mikegrb> | just get an xbox360 and connect360 |
| 19:39 | <@mikegrb> | itunes music on the xbox |
| 19:39 | <@mikegrb> | and iphoto pictures |

| 19:43 | <efudd> | connect360 is macos only |
| 19:44 | <@mikegrb> | well, yes ;) |
| 19:44 | <@mikegrb> | there is a similiar windows program or there is the free? software from ms for doing the same |
| 19:44 | <@mikegrb> | tjfontaine: what was the media server software you told me about? |
| 19:45 | <@mikegrb> | efudd: http://tversity.com/ |
| 19:46 | <@mikegrb> | efudd: the spiffy thing there is it does on the fly transcoding to wmv for the 360 |
| 19:46 | <@mikegrb> | so you just have a dir full of xvid, mpeg4, whatever and it all plays on the xbox |
| 19:46 | <@mikegrb> | I realy wish connect360 did that |

| 21:10 | <h6w> | Hey, after an upgrade to mysql5, my linode seems to be fighting over memory. |
| 21:11 | <h6w> | http://pastebin.ca/310780 |
| 21:13 | <@caker> | h6w: which kernel, and do you have any swap enabled? |
| 21:14 | <h6w> | 2.6.19-linode26 |
| 21:14 | <h6w> | Yes, I have swap. |
| 21:15 | <h6w> | I've tried it on a couple of previous kernels and it has the same problem, so I don't think it's a kernel problem. |
| 21:16 | <h6w> | 320MB of swap. |
| 21:16 | <@caker> | How much swap in use? |
| 21:16 | <@caker> | near or just before the time it OOMs |
| 21:17 | <@caker> | because: |
| 21:17 | <@caker> | # |
| 21:17 | <@caker> | Total swap = 328696kB |
| 21:17 | <@caker> | # |
| 21:17 | <@caker> | Free swap: 0kB |
| 21:17 | <@caker> | which isn't saying much (OOM killer does things I yet to understand) |
| 21:17 | <@caker> | anyhow, I'd first look at the easy stuff: reducing apache's memory usage by reducing MaxClients and friends |
| 21:18 | <h6w> | Yeah, it's strange, tho. It's coasted along for about 5 hours with a load of <1 and then suddenly increases to 45 over the space of about 3 monutes. |
| 21:19 | <h6w> | Hmmm, now it's back to 6 again. |

| 21:24 | <h6w> | How do I tell how much swap is in use? |
| 21:25 | <h6w> | I've ascertained that swap is active. It's listed in /etc/fstab |
| 21:25 | <@tasaro> | free |
| 21:26 | <h6w> | cool. 61MB used. |
| 21:26 | <h6w> | At the moment |
| 21:27 | <h6w> | 'OK. Load is back down to 2.2. I'll try phpmyadmin now to see if that causes it. |
| 21:27 | <h6w> | Nope. |
| 21:28 | <h6w> | Hmmm. In that case it must be a similar problem to yesterday. I read there had been a few changes to the MySQL language, so I fixed a few of them and that brought the load down to <1. |
| 21:29 | <h6w> | Going to have to go back through my code with a fine tooth comb. :-| |
| 21:38 | <efudd> | http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/72701796/ <- hot. |
| 21:41 | <h6w> | True, under the bonnet. But where's the twizzle-display?? |

| 22:02 | <Administrator> | is there a point in the future where linode will accept paypal? |
| 22:03 | <h6w> | Yeah, I'd love that, too. Everything else I do runs paypal. |
| 22:04 | <h6w> | However, also being a paypal seller, I know that it has one major problem. |
| 22:04 | <h6w> | People can discontinue a 'contract' at any time, without warning or discussion with the seller. |
| 22:05 | <h6w> | I'm forever chasing people who 'accidentally' cancel an ongoing payment. |
| 22:05 | <Administrator> | h6w: i think you can do the same thing in the linode panel |
| 22:05 | <Administrator> | Cancel account that is |
| 22:06 | <h6w> | Yeah, but cancelling an ongoing payment isn't the same as cancelling an account. |
| 22:06 | <h6w> | And it's harder to stop them doing that. |
| 22:06 | <h6w> | Paypal doesn't have an "Are you sure? Cancelling an ongoing payment means cancelling the account." |
| 22:07 | <Administrator> | yeah that is true |
| 22:07 | <h6w> | And in 99.9% of cases, my clients didn't know that was what they were doing. |
| 22:07 | <h6w> | And you cant' just reconnect it and keep going. You have to start another contract with a new date. |
| 22:08 | <h6w> | contract=ongoing payment. |
| 22:10 | <encode> | yeah, one annoying thing about paypal is if you change your credit card, removing the old one from paypal discontinues the ongoing payments made with that card |
| 22:10 | <encode> | instead of transferring them to the new one |
