| 00:05 | <Vm> | hi caker |

| 00:07 | <@caker> | Vm: yes -- there's a link to the Reverse DNS Manager off the Dashboard page (scroll down, to the right side) |
| 00:08 | <Vm> | sorry, let me see ;) |
| 00:09 | <Vm> | caker : i saw only add new domain zone |

| 01:49 | <warewolf> | caker- is there anything you can do to get netsol to remove their whois blacklisting of my /24? |
| 01:49 | <@caker> | complain to TP, I guess |
| 01:49 | <warewolf> | caker- I've sent them 3+ emails with zero response out of them. |
| 01:50 | <@caker> | I'll open a ticket with TP in the morning... |
| 01:50 | [~] | caker distributes a new /etc/localtime to the hosts (doubt it'll even make a difference with ntp) |
| 01:50 | <warewolf> | caker- it will make a difference |
| 01:51 | <warewolf> | caker- each check of the clock inspects that file |
| 01:51 | <warewolf> | so like, every time you run date(1), it looks at /etc/localtime |
| 01:52 | <@caker> | ah |
| 01:53 | <warewolf> | caker- not that it maters, but https://www.theshore.net/'s SSL cert is expired. It also gave me flashbacks to 1997. |
| 01:53 | <@caker> | sysadmin duties completed, for now. |
| 01:53 | <npmr> | hmmm |
| 01:54 | <@caker> | warewolf: har. Yeah, thanks -- theshore.net is defunct, so I really don't mind that it's expired |
| 01:54 | <warewolf> | so I presume that theshore.net is nolonger selling hosting services? *grin* |
| 01:54 | <@caker> | warewolf: interested? I also have a nice bridge to sell you |
| 01:55 | <warewolf> | hey, on Intel Hardware, for $19.95/mo absolutely! |
| 01:55 | <@caker> | heh .. interestingly enough, a Linode 512 is like 3x the power what I started hosting on |
| 01:56 | <warewolf> | you've done well, chris. I hope you retire happily :) |
| 01:59 | [~] | caker waits for the countdown |
| 01:59 | <@caker> | 10...9... |
| 03:00 | <npmr> | ooh ahh |
| 03:00 | <@caker> | hmm |
| 03:00 | <npmr> | so then, |
| 03:00 | <npmr> | what time is it supposed to be right now? |
| 03:01 | <warewolf> | not entirely sure, I don't remember which machines of mine I patched, and I have two that are disagreeing. |
| 03:02 | <warewolf> | I think it's supposed to be 4am eastern. |
| 03:02 | <npmr> | well the oven says its 2:00 (central) and my laptop says it's 4 (eastern) so i think my laptop is probably right |
| 03:02 | <warewolf> | <-- linode disagrees, workstation I'm VPN'd into at work says 4am, and my desktop at home says 4am. |
| 03:03 | <@caker> | !exec date |
| 03:03 | <@caker> | whoops |
| 03:03 | <@caker> | !date |
| 03:03 | <linbot> | caker: 03:03 AM, March 11, 2007 |
| 03:03 | <warewolf> | Sun Mar 11 03:03:09 EST 2007 |
| 03:03 | <warewolf> | caker- I thikn running processes have local timezone info cached, which makes my irssi, and linbot wrong. |
| 03:03 | <warewolf> | er wait. |
| 03:04 | <warewolf> | okay I didn't patch this my linode. |
| 03:04 | [~] | warewolf fines tzdata to update |

| 03:06 | <warewolf> | Sun Mar 11 04:06:39 EDT 2007 |
| 03:06 | <warewolf> | patched. |
| 03:06 | <warewolf> | my irssi still thinks it's 3am though. |
| 03:07 | <warewolf> | btw, the way to manaully patch *nix boxes is to do the following |
| 03:07 | <warewolf> | download tzdata from that ftp site |
| 03:07 | <warewolf> | mkdir tzdata |
| 03:07 | <warewolf> | mv tzdata*.tar.gz tzdata |
| 03:07 | <warewolf> | cd tzdata |
| 03:07 | <warewolf> | tar -zxvf *.gz |
| 03:07 | <Nigel> | bleh, |
| 03:07 | <warewolf> | for foo in *; do zic $foo;done |
| 03:07 | <Nigel> | doesn't affect me :P |
| 03:08 | <warewolf> | Nigel: yeah, but .au went through the same thing last year. |
| 03:08 | <npmr> | with much less grace |

| 03:12 | <warewolf> | Sun Mar 11 04:12:23 EDT 2007 |
| 03:12 | <warewolf> | so /upgarde worked in irssi, except that it blew away my windows. |
| 03:15 | <@caker> | warewolf: thanks for the tip |
| 03:16 | <warewolf> | which, tzdata or /upgrade? |
| 03:17 | <@caker> | /upgrade |
| 03:17 | <warewolf> | I have to figure out how to get my windows back |
| 03:19 | <Nigel> | hmmm |
| 03:19 | <Nigel> | warewolf: AU DLS laws don't affect me either |
| 03:20 | <npmr> | my irssi figured it out without my help |
| 03:21 | <warewolf> | that just means your timezone data was upgraded before you started your irssi process. |
| 03:21 | <npmr> | ok |

| 10:41 | <SNy> | So, that is it. |
| 10:42 | <SNy> | How many small linodes are currently available in the new Atlanta DC? |
| 10:42 | <SNy> | I am now finally about to get rid of this crap vserver here. |
| 10:44 | <@tasaro> | SNy: Plenty available in Atlanta -- crap vserver? |
| 10:44 | <npmr> | are you aware of the blocked ports in atlanta? |
| 10:44 | <npmr> | it's a more extensive list than the dallas or fremont datacenters |
| 10:44 | <SNy> | Yeah, it just crashed, apparently. |
| 10:44 | <SNy> | Uptime of now 10 minutes. |
| 10:45 | <SNy> | The worst thing is, I just recognized that I don't know the root PW anymore. |
| 10:45 | <SNy> | Used to have a screen open with a shell. |
| 10:45 | <SNy> | That has died now. |
| 10:46 | <npmr> | no sudo? |
| 10:46 | <@tasaro> | referring to another linode? |
| 10:46 | <SNy> | Ah. |
| 10:46 | <SNy> | Doh. Got it. |
| 10:46 | <SNy> | :) |
| 10:47 | <SNy> | No, no linode. |
| 10:47 | <SNy> | A linux-vserver-style box. |
| 10:47 | <SNy> | I don't actually need any open ports. |
| 10:47 | <SNy> | I don't host stuff other than a website and ssh. |
| 10:48 | <SNy> | It mainly IRC related, anyway, isn't it? |
| 10:48 | <npmr> | well, the one people are taking issue with is generally port 6667, yes |
| 10:49 | <npmr> | but besides that, it is a rather long list |
| 10:49 | <SNy> | Uh, that would mean you cannot host anything on that port there, right? |
| 10:49 | <@tasaro> | There are a bunch, but I think those are the ports most are referring to |
| 10:49 | <npmr> | incoming and outgoing are blocked |
| 10:49 | <@tasaro> | http://www.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2625 |
| 10:50 | <npmr> | so yes, anyone trying to connect to an ircd running on the conventional port on a server in the atlanta dc would not be able to connect |
| 10:50 | <SNy> | Oh, outgoing as well. |
| 10:50 | <SNy> | Hm, doh. |
| 10:50 | <npmr> | yeah |
| 10:50 | <npmr> | me too |
| 10:50 | <npmr> | otherwise i'd be very tempted to take it |
| 10:51 | <SNy> | That is really a drawback. |
| 10:51 | <SNy> | I use to run screen/irssi here. |
| 10:51 | [~] | npmr continues to wait for the upgrades in dallas |
| 10:53 | <SNy> | Thing is, Dallas is on the other side and as such even further away. |
| 10:53 | <@tasaro> | I believe some are using 6668 as a workaround... |
| 10:54 | <npmr> | are you guys going to try to negotiate on that filter or just let it be? |
| 10:57 | <@mikegrb> | well, they don't allow irc per their policy |
| 10:57 | <@mikegrb> | but the level of their enforcement of that policy is simply blocking the port |
| 11:01 | <afv-13> | is it true that there are NO blocked ports in HE? |
| 11:08 | <@mikegrb> | yeah |
| 11:14 | <iggy> | seems odd that you guys would sign an agreement with a provider that didn't allow irc with your use of it and knowing how much your clients use it as well |

| 16:57 | <Narada> | hi guys; for a (java) server platform what do you reckon? debian or ubuntu? what do you use? |
| 16:58 | <afv-13> | java on a server is crazy talk |
| 16:59 | <Narada> | heh |
| 16:59 | <Narada> | why |
| 17:00 | <Narada> | anyway ignore the java part in the question :) |
| 17:00 | [~] | Deckert also wants to know |
| 17:00 | <afv-13> | Narada: whichever you feel more comfortable with |
| 17:00 | <Deckert> | ubuntu's a newer (more bleeding edge) Debian |
| 17:01 | <Narada> | i like the fact that ubuntu is newer but at the same time i don't want to be hacked because it is unstable or osmething |
| 17:01 | <Narada> | i just don't know ubuntu's security record in comparison to debian |
| 17:01 | <Deckert> | if you're gonna run java, the platform really doesn't matter too much |
| 17:02 | <Deckert> | Narada, you'd still have to update both and keep 'em updated |
| 17:02 | <Narada> | true |
| 17:03 | <Narada> | yeah it's true that with java it doens't matter either way |
| 17:03 | <Narada> | however i still need to be swayed one way of anothe |
| 17:03 | <Narada> | r |
| 17:03 | <Deckert> | which one have you worked with more? |
| 17:04 | <Narada> | umm both but more with ubuntu |
| 17:04 | <Deckert> | then use Ubuntu |
| 17:04 | <Narada> | k |
| 17:05 | <Deckert> | bet'cha didn't know I was gonna say that! ;-) |
| 17:05 | <Narada> | haha |

| 17:06 | <arrummzen> | How do I detach my lish (logout?) |
| 17:07 | <Narada> | ctrl a-d |
| 17:07 | <Narada> | the curve for ubuntu on that graph is way higher and on the rise compared to debian |

| 17:08 | <ajmitch> | Narada: as long as you don't plan to use packages from ubuntu's universe repository, security updates should be fine |
| 17:08 | <Deckert> | Narada, it's 'cause the distro is more desktop friendly |
| 17:09 | <Deckert> | so it's seeing a higher addoption rate than Debian |
| 17:09 | <Narada> | true |
| 17:10 | <Narada> | i wonder when linode will adopt 6.10 ubuntu (although i know i can upgrade) |
| 17:10 | <ajmitch> | depends if you want to run a distro called 'edgy' on a server |
| 17:10 | <@mikegrb> | lolz |
| 17:10 | <Narada> | lol |
| 17:10 | <Deckert> | Narada, not sure - they don't seem to be too fond of quick upgrades to older versions |
| 17:11 | <Deckert> | Fedora is going from release 2 to release 6 |
| 17:11 | <Narada> | yeah; gentoo upgrade took ages |
| 17:11 | <Deckert> | Slackware still at 10(.0) |
| 17:11 | <Narada> | damn how do you detach a screen within a screen without detaching a parent one |
| 17:11 | [~] | ajmitch would upgrade to edgy if that's what's needed |
| 17:11 | <ajmitch> | c-a a d |
| 17:11 | <Deckert> | but ctrl-a-a-d |
| 17:12 | <Deckert> | ajmitch types faster than deckert |
| 17:12 | <Deckert> | :) |
| 17:12 | <Narada> | haha |
| 17:12 | <Narada> | wow that's a nice tip thanks |
| 17:12 | <ajmitch> | if you're nesting screens, it can help to bind a different key than c-a |
| 17:13 | <Narada> | alright bbiab |

| 17:21 | <@mikegrb> | Deckert: the lag in fedora upgrades was due to lack of uml support in fedora (yes, no special support is necessary, it takes work to make it not supported) |
| 17:21 | <@mikegrb> | that is taken care of now though |

| 17:23 | <Deckert> | aha |
| 17:23 | <Deckert> | please note that I'm not knocking the update frequemcy (too much) - I realize a lot of work goes into preparing the different installs |
| 17:25 | <Deckert> | I run the slackware 10 distro, and I have no intention of upgrading untill Pat releases a 2.6.x-based version with NPTL support |
| 17:25 | <Deckert> | and then I'll wait (hope!) for it to appear on Linode :-) |

| 17:27 | <Deckert> | although I will hold thums that Slackware remains supported on Linode ... |
| 17:27 | <Deckert> | it's in the "scrawny" section of the distro-graph :-| |
| 17:31 | <@caker> | what I'd love to do, is figure out a way for people to submit distributions |
| 17:31 | <@caker> | and some kind of feedback system (tied to the user who submitted it) |
| 17:32 | <@caker> | I'd be a little worried about people submitting distros with backdoors, hence the feedback system, but .. that's as far as I've thought about that problem |
| 17:32 | [~] | ajmitch just wants debian & ubuntu :) |
| 17:32 | <@caker> | my other thought was that you didn't submit a distro, but a script that took a base system we supplied, and brought it up to your config... |
| 17:32 | <@caker> | that way, we could audit the changes |
| 17:43 | [~] | Deckert thinks about that for a while |
| 17:50 | <ajmitch> | caker: do you really have many requests for weird & wonderful distros? |
| 17:55 | <@caker> | ajmitch: no, but I figure get us out of the loop, and maybe some rewards or incentive for people to submit popular/often requested distros and/or setups |

| 21:46 | <guinea-pig> | i would sure love to login via lish instead of running sshd, but then i'd be stuck with nested screen sessions, and that's not much fun |
| 21:53 | <troy> | would not running sshd really free up that many resources? sshd seems to use a very minimal amount of memory on my linode compaired to all the other processes i run.. |
| 21:54 | <iggy> | yeah, turn off apache and mysql first |
| 22:03 | <guinea-pig> | it's not a resource thing |
