| 01:18 | <erikh> | yay, I've moved! |
| 01:18 | <erikh> | sort of. everything is still packed. |
| 01:20 | <@mikegrb> | tar -zxvf erikh |
| 01:20 | <erikh> | I setup the computer |
| 01:20 | <erikh> | the rest of it can all stay in boxes until I get hungry for all I care |
| 01:41 | <Nigel> | mikegrb: i thought erikh was bzip'd |
| 01:43 | <warewolf> | Nigel: recent versions of tar will auto detect compression |
| 01:44 | <warewolf> | Nigel: eg, tar -xvf foo.tar.gz or tar -xvf foo.tar.bz2 |
| 01:44 | <warewolf> | (note the lack of -z or -j) |
| 01:45 | <Nigel> | warewolf: i'm aware |
| 01:45 | <guinea-pig> | i almost never use -v |
| 01:45 | <Nigel> | it has been like that (as a patch) for at least a few years |
| 01:45 | <guinea-pig> | it just bogs down the display/network connection |
| 01:45 | <Nigel> | yeah, i litterally NEVER use -v |
| 01:45 | <warewolf> | ten you never know when a tarball craps files in your directory, instead of inside a directory |
| 01:46 | <guinea-pig> | eh? |
| 01:46 | <warewolf> | ever had a tarball do this? |
| 01:46 | <warewolf> | ./README |
| 01:46 | <warewolf> | ./COPYING |
| 01:46 | <warewolf> | ./src/bkah.c |
| 01:46 | <warewolf> | instead of |
| 01:46 | <warewolf> | ./package/README |
| 01:46 | <guinea-pig> | mkdir package; cd package; tar -xzf ../package.tar.gz |
| 01:46 | <guinea-pig> | ALWAYS |
| 01:46 | <Nigel> | warewolf: sure, thats why i never untar into my home directory :P |
| 01:46 | <warewolf> | ./package/COPYING |
| 01:47 | <Nigel> | guinea-pig: exactly |
| 01:47 | <guinea-pig> | mmm, watching Contact. I love this movie |
| 01:47 | <warewolf> | guinea-pig: I knew an extra in that movie |
| 01:47 | <guinea-pig> | back when i worked at a dept. store, I played it on the surround sound display tv |
| 01:47 | <warewolf> | guy was in a wheel chair playing one character in one scene, and on some podium talking in another |
| 01:48 | <guinea-pig> | could hear the alien noise all the way on the opposite side of the store :) |
| 01:48 | <guinea-pig> | my boss was stupid and put in jerry maguire once... it took us 3 days to realise there was a sex scene |
| 01:48 | <warewolf> | haha |
| 01:49 | <warewolf> | that's why you put in G or PG-13 movies 8-) |
| 01:50 | <guinea-pig> | i went for contact and st:generations |
| 01:50 | <guinea-pig> | forget what else, but i've memorised those two movies, heh |
| 01:50 | <guinea-pig> | ah, movie's back. |
| 01:50 | <warewolf> | man, st:generations was the first movie I owned on VCD. |
| 01:50 | <warewolf> | then the two CDs got all scratched, and it was all macro-blocky. |
| 01:53 | <erikh> | uh |
| 01:53 | <erikh> | tar tvzf |
| 01:53 | <erikh> | it's kind of handy |
| 01:53 | <warewolf> | quite. |
| 01:53 | <warewolf> | tvf is an excellent use of -v |
| 01:57 | <Xel> | -v is bullshit |
| 01:57 | <Xel> | Propaganda |
| 01:57 | <erikh> | brought to us by the man? |
| 01:58 | <Xel> | How dare you speak of the man in my presence |
| 01:59 | <erikh> | speaking of the man, this man is going to crash out |
| 01:59 | <erikh> | nn all |

| 04:47 | <synaptic> | it doesn't say "when" a disk image was created |
| 04:48 | <synaptic> | makes it difficult for people like me who forget to rename them <cough> |
| 04:48 | <guinea-pig> | haha |
| 04:49 | <synaptic> | specially if thay are the same size... |
| 04:49 | <guinea-pig> | mount them and see what they are? |
| 04:49 | <synaptic> | spose so.. sigh |
| 04:49 | <guinea-pig> | or if it still shows up in the job queue maybe some clue there |
| 04:50 | <synaptic> | ahh |
| 04:50 | <synaptic> | hadn't thought of that |
| 04:50 | <synaptic> | btw.. love my linode |
| 04:50 | <synaptic> | RAm is a bit pricey though |
| 04:50 | <guinea-pig> | even having doubled? |
| 04:50 | <synaptic> | huh! |
| 04:51 | <guinea-pig> | is that a question? |
| 04:51 | <synaptic> | no. |
| 04:52 | <synaptic> | its a ! |
| 04:52 | <synaptic> | great |
| 04:52 | <guinea-pig> | you missed the announcement, then? |
| 04:52 | <guinea-pig> | http://www.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2634 |
| 04:52 | <guinea-pig> | i missed it too. if it weren't for discussion in here... |
| 04:52 | <synaptic> | I did |
| 04:53 | <synaptic> | no clue in job queue |
| 04:54 | <synaptic> | i just increased my disk space only a couple of weeks ago |
| 04:54 | <@mikegrb> | lolz |
| 04:54 | <synaptic> | hence the new image lol |
| 04:54 | <synaptic> | i am in Dallas anywayz |
| 04:55 | <synaptic> | virtual you understand |
| 04:56 | <synaptic> | ty.. just made my day.. now to that disk image.. bye |
| 04:56 | <guinea-pig> | have fun :) |
| 04:57 | <synaptic> | just re sized one.. See what happens |
| 04:57 | <synaptic> | I am so reckless with virtual machines.. |
| 04:57 | <guinea-pig> | hmmm, speaking of the new dashboard |
| 04:58 | <guinea-pig> | create image-> doesn't display available space for a new image |
| 04:58 | [~] | guinea-pig wonders if anyone's awake |
| 05:02 | <synaptic> | im awake |
| 05:02 | <synaptic> | but not a linode person |
| 05:03 | <guinea-pig> | hah |
| 05:03 | <synaptic> | so no use to you |
| 05:03 | <guinea-pig> | you're absolutely useless! |

| 05:03 | <@mikegrb> | lolz |
| 05:03 | <synaptic> | lol |
| 05:03 | <synaptic> | what sort of uptime have you been getting with linode |
| 05:04 | <synaptic> | I have 100% after 6 months |
| 05:04 | <synaptic> | is this your experience? |
| 05:06 | <guinea-pig> | http://parsed.net/stats/mrtg/uptime.html |
| 05:06 | <@mikegrb> | synaptic: if you hover over the link for a disk image you can see the image id, will let you see which was made first, not an exact date, of course |
| 05:06 | <afv-13> | i've had 100 |
| 05:06 | <@mikegrb> | guinea-pig: that is only if logged in as you, everyone else sees it ;) |
| 05:06 | <afv-13> | for nearly a year |
| 05:06 | <@mikegrb> | my uptime is 583 days |
| 05:07 | <guinea-pig> | mikegrb: i don't see the hover |
| 05:07 | <guinea-pig> | also. you make me feel special; |
| 05:07 | <guinea-pig> | btw, on the links at the bottom right, there's a good number that just redirect to the dashboard page |
| 05:08 | <synaptic> | Ok . Got it |
| 05:08 | <synaptic> | rezized one |
| 05:08 | <synaptic> | wrong one of course.. |

| 11:05 | <iggy> | weef: which datacenter are you in? |
| 11:11 | <afv-13> | weef: http://www.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2634 < explains it all |
| 11:18 | <weef> | thanks! |
| 11:19 | <weef> | looks like I am in the dallas data center |
| 11:21 | <afv-13> | thinking about migrating for the increased resources? |
| 11:24 | <weef> | someone in the forum said something about blocked ports in the atlanta data center |
| 11:25 | <afv-13> | so you'd have to push for the HE datacenter then |
| 11:25 | <weef> | what is HE? |
| 11:25 | <afv-13> | the one in fremont |
| 11:25 | <weef> | ok |
| 11:26 | <weef> | I am running a game server (http://darkworld.sf.net)... |
| 11:26 | <weef> | it is alpha level code |
| 11:26 | <weef> | the next time it crashes, I will reboot and pick up the 100 to 128 upgrade... I have not rebooted in a very long time |
| 11:27 | <weef> | linodes are so stable |
| 11:27 | <afv-13> | "game is always running at a very slow speed" |
| 11:28 | <afv-13> | so you send your ship somewhere, get a notification 2 weeks later that you can do something else? |
| 11:28 | <weef> | 3600 game days per hour.... |
| 11:28 | <weef> | more like the next day |
| 11:28 | <weef> | or a few hours if it is in the same galaxy |
| 11:29 | <weef> | next day for another galaxy |
| 11:29 | <Xel> | weef, are you one of the devs? |
| 11:29 | <Xel> | I see your handle in a screenshot on the sf site |
| 11:29 | <weef> | yeah, I Am "the" only dev at the moment :) |
| 11:30 | <Xel> | if you reboot, you'll have 256mb of ram btw |
| 11:30 | <Xel> | Unless you are on a server in TP |
| 11:31 | <weef> | I am on host38 |
| 11:31 | <Xel> | Don't know if that one got the new upgrades |
| 11:31 | <Xel> | But a few days ago, linode announced double resources for all customers |
| 11:31 | <Xel> | so the 128 became a 256 |
| 11:32 | <Xel> | double disk and bandwidth too |
| 11:32 | <afv-13> | he's in TP |
| 11:32 | <weef> | is TP the dallas data center? |
| 11:32 | <afv-13> | yup |
| 11:33 | <SpaceHobo> | yeah |
| 11:33 | [~] | SpaceHobo flings poo at TP |
| 11:33 | <Xel> | Well that sucks for you, heh heh |
| 11:33 | <Xel> | caker said it'd be at least a few weeks before TP people get the upgrades |
| 11:33 | <weef> | I need the upgrade IA m using 140M of swap at the moment :) |
| 11:33 | <SpaceHobo> | ow |
| 11:33 | <Xel> | So basically you are causing lag on host38 for everyone else :P |
| 11:33 | <SpaceHobo> | You're fired. |
| 11:34 | <afv-13> | the weakest link |
| 11:34 | <weef> | only if the swap is actually accessed alot |
| 11:34 | <afv-13> | the tribe has spoken |
| 11:34 | <afv-13> | etc |
| 11:34 | <weef> | but I Think the IO tokens are supposed to mitigate that |
| 11:34 | <SpaceHobo> | afv-13: is that your final answer? |
| 11:40 | <weef> | thanks again guys, I Am going to get out of here before I get roasted at the stake :) |

| 18:49 | <warewolf> | hey caker, what's up with my linode's cpu graph in the dashboard? |
| 18:49 | <quanin> | question for you, caker. some of the automated emails i get from the server show coming from host27. it's odd to me that they'd show as coming from any host at all and not from the actual server address, but even more odd is i'm not even on host27. |
| 18:49 | <alnr> | caker: i'll go over my ntp config, i just installed it so maybe its set wrong |
| 18:50 | <alnr> | i need to sync my linode to another box |
| 18:50 | <warewolf> | ntp is fairly useless on a linode, since you can't actually change the time |
| 18:50 | <@caker> | warewolf: you can too |
| 18:50 | <alnr> | it updates |
| 18:51 | <@caker> | warewolf: not sure re your cpu graph |
| 18:51 | <@caker> | quanin: Can you forward me some headers? |

| 19:29 | <@caker> | weird |
| 19:30 | <warewolf> | I use tick/tock.usno.navy.mil |
| 19:30 | <warewolf> | being off 400 seconds is suprising, but 300 seconds is 5 minutes |
| 19:30 | <alnr> | if clock is way off isnt there a parameter to make it update all at once instead of gradual |
| 19:31 | <warewolf> | that's what he and I just did |
| 19:31 | <alnr> | k |
| 19:31 | <warewolf> | there's a way to make it do it slwoly in solaris, I'm not sure about linux |
| 19:31 | <alnr> | i thought by default it adjusted gradually |
| 19:32 | <@caker> | and if > 5 minutes if gives up |
| 19:32 | <warewolf> | caker- oh, ntpd? |
| 19:32 | <@caker> | yeah, all the default configs I've ran into |
| 19:32 | <warewolf> | caker- many distros jump start the clock by forwardin it a couple years from 1970 |
| 19:34 | <alnr> | caker: you're test is on same dc as me? |
| 19:34 | <alnr> | your |
| 19:35 | <@caker> | alnr: yes |
| 19:37 | <@caker> | very odd -- machines were either -300 to -500 or +200; the hw clock was only off a fraction |
| 19:37 | <@caker> | something happen in the world of ntp servers? |
| 19:43 | <Xel> | caker, what exactly do io tokens represent? Any i/o activity, including network? Only io that touches disk? |
| 19:44 | <Xel> | caker, DST patches have been coming out for the new DST switch |
| 19:44 | <Xel> | That could mess with time servers |
| 19:44 | <Xel> | A new tzdata was in the debian repository recently |
| 19:44 | <@caker> | Xel: each io request, regardless of size |
| 19:45 | <Xel> | Ahh |
| 19:45 | <quanin> | i should make this server mail me when there's updates... time to kill the apt-get entry in cron.daily. |
| 19:45 | <Xel> | I run out of iotokens sometimes just downloading a large file |
| 19:45 | <Xel> | Was curious, heh heh |
| 19:46 | <@caker> | for how long? Because "normal" use I want you to have enough tokens |
| 19:47 | <Xel> | Maybe 20 or 30 minutes. It isn't "normal" use, as in I don't do it all the time |
| 19:47 | <@caker> | still .. I shall update the values |
| 19:47 | <Xel> | There's a TV show that used to be on called Mystery Science Theatre 3000. They allow their episodes to be swapped amongst fans. |
| 19:47 | <Xel> | I've been downloading some using wget. |
| 19:47 | <Xel> | 700 MB or so files |
| 19:48 | <Xel> | I get around 600-700kbyte/sec. If I run two downloads at once, I can run out of io_tokens in about 15 or so minutes |
| 19:48 | <Xel> | Running three is not possible, hehe |
| 19:48 | <Xel> | (I'm on host62) |
| 19:49 | <Xel> | I'm not doing any big download right this second - I was more making a general comment based on what was happening the past couple of days |
| 19:51 | <@caker> | clock.fmt.he.net <-- the bastards |
| 19:51 | <Xel> | I usually use ntp.nasa.gov |
| 19:52 | <@caker> | the deb/ubuntu hosts were ok -- they had another config pointing to ntp.ubuntu.com |
| 20:02 | <encode> | ive noticed the time on my linode to vary widely of late |
| 20:02 | <encode> | im not running any ntp update software |
| 20:02 | <encode> | but i might have to |
| 20:09 | <guinea-pig> | caker: speaking of io tokens, i was wondering if the values assigned there might be updated to reflect the doubled resources |
| 20:10 | <guinea-pig> | in fact, i'm wondering if the values differ at all from one plan to another |

| 23:25 | <@caker> | the limiter doesn't work like that. It only affects long running IO, then it limits you (not even to that crippling of a value) |
