| 00:01 | <pygmalion> | there is a mikegrb in the #gopherproject channel on freenode. same one? |
| 00:03 | <ninjaPo> | SelfishMan: good idea. compared to other messages in my spam folder, the headers on the ones I sent look much better so i hope the problem will be corrected. i have not tested with yahoo or hotmail; that is among my next steps. I also tried to install DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) but couldn't get it to install properly |
| 00:05 | <bob2> | you'd want DKIM, not domainkeys |
| 00:06 | <ninjaPo> | bob2: right; that's what i meant... |
| 00:06 | <bob2> | oops, sorry, just skimmed incorrectly :) |

| 00:07 | <SelfishMan> | DKIM will help but google won't care much about that |
| 00:09 | <ninjaPo> | SelfishMan: I think you may be onto something with the 'community' idea---i will give that a whirl, do some tests with other providers and report back. |
| 00:10 | <SelfishMan> | I haven't dealt with Google's mail systems for about a year. Every method you use to prove yourself they will use but in the end it is all about community. |
| 00:10 | <SelfishMan> | anyway, I have to run for a bit |

| 12:06 | <Talman> | hmm ,test. |
| 12:06 | <Bdragon> | Fold screen back all the way, pop the things behind the hinges, lift up the keyboard, pop the ribbon connector, pull keyboard out, stick new ribbon in, push the connector, fold keyboard in, replace the top thingie |
| 12:07 | <Bdragon> | Took me all of what, five minutes? (most of which was fiddling with the ribbon connector |
| 12:07 | <emag> | no screws? |
| 12:07 | <Bdragon> | No screws |
| 12:07 | <Bdragon> | Keyboard sits on a couple of pieces of grippy rubber |

| 12:40 | <Isvara> | Have you looked in 2821? |
| 12:41 | <Isvara> | According to that, it doesn't have to be a valid hostname. |
| 12:41 | <Isvara> | Section 4.1.1.1. |
| 12:42 | <SelfishMan> | It says it has to be a FQDN or send a domain literal |
| 12:42 | <SelfishMan> | oops, address literal |
| 12:42 | <Isvara> | It says SHOULD. |
| 12:42 | <Isvara> | Not MUST. |
| 12:42 | <emag> | i generally just require incoming HELO to not claim to be my systems (unless they really are), and reject out of hand if they're that blatant about lying |
| 12:43 | <emag> | some spam fighters have taken the stance that if you're not giving an actual hostname (and the one you're supposed to be), you're up to no good |
| 12:43 | <SelfishMan> | I have one person that keeps mailing using a technically valid fqdn but it doesn't actually exist. They refuse to do anything about it. |
| 12:43 | <Isvara> | Whereas in reality it's just as likely to be misconfiguration (typically giving an internal hostname). |

| 15:25 | <SelfishMan> | no |
| 15:26 | <lolcatz> | so why do they have ram limits? |
| 15:26 | <SelfishMan> | I think you could get a 1080 for less than the two 540's though |
| 15:26 | <tjfontaine> | you can limit one to a specific amount of memory, but you can't assign that memory to another linode |
| 15:26 | <tjfontaine> | SelfishMan: he has some usecase |

| 15:30 | <Battousai> | so would a lot of script kiddies |
| 15:30 | <tjfontaine> | wouldn't be as profitable I'd imagine |

| 16:08 | <jcn> | lolcatz: a number of reasons. one came down to flexibility - slicehost didn't let me add more hard drive space and linode did. |
| 16:09 | <jcn> | the second was price - for the space that I did need, i got more with linode for less money (i got my linode during the extra bandwidth when you prepay promo) |

| 17:07 | <HoopyCat> | avongauss: with a managed service, the datacenter will (officially) fix a lot more problems, for a price of course. :-) for the right price, you may not have to lift a finger. whether that is worth it or not is a business decision. |
| 17:08 | <avongauss> | managed is definitely different... ;) I was just reading the scroll back and didn't realize the discussion was about managed dedicated servers. My bad. |
| 17:08 | <bliblok> | emag: Try google for unit conversions. |
| 17:09 | <HoopyCat> | avongauss: it could be. there's a whole continuum of different services in the market, which is awesome. |
| 17:10 | <avongauss> | Agreed. I don't think its the cure for all problems, but I am a definite fan of virtualization - even for a single box with a dedicated purpose. |
| 17:10 | <SelfishMan> | Um...teh interwebs broked. i cant print |
| 17:10 | <avongauss> | Your router is blocking your IPP port... ;) |
| 17:11 | <SelfishMan> | I love those support calls. They called me up and told me that "the internet is broken" and after several minutes of trying to get more info from them I finally found out that they were trying to print a receipt from a web page. |
| 17:11 | <HoopyCat> | avongauss: me too... however, i don't see google running on a set of linodes. ('tho that might be what keeps filling up atlanta) |

| 17:12 | <SelfishMan> | Told them to power cycle their printer and now magically teh interwebs work |
| 17:12 | <emag> | SelfishMan: so *that* was why my interweb wasn't working! |
| 17:12 | <avongauss> | Google doesn't run virtualization for their primary apps, but they do seem to use the same concept. More workers verses less heavy lifters. |
| 17:13 | <avongauss> | I'm not sure that was worded well, my point being they seem to have a preference for cheaper commodity hardware rather than larger specialized servers. |
| 17:13 | <HoopyCat> | i'm about to have to "Sir, did you read the part in bold about how everything you enter into that big box above will be released under a Creative Commons license?" someone, which i'm trying to avoid because he has no idea who i am yet. hmm... |
| 17:14 | <HoopyCat> | avongauss: yeah, google is perhaps a bad example, considering their architecture. how about... uhh... wikipedia! |
| 17:14 | <HoopyCat> | (the good ol' buncha-servers-in-one-datacenter theory) |
| 17:15 | <avongauss> | Wikipedia would be a good example, and a good showcase for virtualization in my opinion... ;) |
| 17:16 | <avongauss> | Probably 95% percent of their queries are to static content? The one thing that wouldn't work at the moment is their disk space requirements... :( |
| 17:16 | <HoopyCat> | wikipedia is based in one datacenter located right on the gulf coast of florida. what could POSSIBLY go wrong. |
| 17:17 | <HoopyCat> | avongauss: and memory... they memcached the living bejeezus out of things |
| 17:17 | <avongauss> | Caching is good, caching as a substitute for good architecture is not </rant> |
| 17:18 | <pleia2> | tasaro: thank you :) |
| 17:18 | <SelfishMan> | HoopyCat: Wikipedia was worldwide mirrors in all languages |
| 17:18 | <avongauss> | sounds like another satisfied ticket request - either that or they were writing in invisible characters... |
| 17:18 | <HoopyCat> | caching IS good architecture. :-) |
| 17:19 | <avongauss> | caching is not architecture. |
| 17:19 | <SelfishMan> | caching should increase page render times on stable architecture |
| 17:19 | <avongauss> | it might be a part of an architecture, but alone it is not. |
| 17:20 | <HoopyCat> | SelfishMan: unless something has changed drastically in the couple of months since i've looked at the page, there's a couple read-only servers in a couple different places but the database masters and everything-by-default is in tampa bay, incl. foreign language wikis. |
| 17:20 | <SelfishMan> | For example, twitter has bad architecture so their caching doesn't fix the problems with a slave mysql server going down. However, if their architecture was stable then good caching could make a page render in 0.100 seconds instead of 3. |
| 17:21 | <avongauss> | Twitter is a wonderful example. :) |
| 17:21 | <HoopyCat> | caching is an important part of a quality architecture, although when missing, nothing should catch fire. how's that? :-) |
| 17:21 | <HoopyCat> | twitter == catch fire |
| 17:21 | <SelfishMan> | HoopyCat: exactly |
| 17:21 | <avongauss> | We're getting closer... ;) |
| 17:22 | <SelfishMan> | if you turn caching off then things should still work and run in an acceptable amount of time. Caching on should make it all really really snappy |
| 17:22 | <HoopyCat> | i can kill memcached right now and nothing would break, because i architected this particular service to not have drastic growth ;-) |
| 17:22 | <SelfishMan> | what scares me is that twitter is working on more caching and hardware instead of optimizing sql queries and structures |
| 17:22 | <SelfishMan> | facebook is a good example of that |
| 17:23 | <SelfishMan> | I think. |

| 17:24 | <avongauss> | I don't know how Twitter is configured, but it does seem they have a lot of problems. And this is before they've really "caught on"... |
| 17:25 | <SelfishMan> | twitter was bad architecture with a lot of laziness |
| 17:25 | <HoopyCat> | SelfishMan: twitter isn't a normal "web 2.0" problem... it's more of a real-time messaging system, in my eyes. route it to its destinations, *then* stick it in the database for web display... |
| 17:25 | <HoopyCat> | that said, i'm pulling all of this out of my ass. |
| 17:26 | <SelfishMan> | You're right, it is a real-time messaging system. Problem is they didn't engineer it that way. |
| 17:26 | <avongauss> | Real-time messaging system with real-time multi-point monitoring. |
| 17:27 | <SelfishMan> | They rely on too many complex sql queries after data is inserted into the db |
| 17:27 | <SelfishMan> | the various triggers and notices are pulled in an additional query to the database after the initial write instead of processing it all in the same loop |
| 17:28 | <HoopyCat> | i've got a couple ideas on how to make things more efficient, but unfortunately, so does everyone else :-) |
| 17:28 | <HoopyCat> | my solution will work, however, unlike everyone else's |
| 17:29 | <SelfishMan> | very true. I say gut the system and build it up from there knowing what it is. |
| 17:29 | <HoopyCat> | SelfishMan: agreed |
| 17:29 | <HoopyCat> | twitter, when it is 100%, is AWESOME |
| 17:29 | <avongauss> | Maybe that's exactly what they are doing? ... Nah... |
| 17:29 | <SelfishMan> | What scares me is most of the failures in the last few months have been because of "testing new code" on producton boxes |
| 17:30 | <SelfishMan> | Twitter can be great and people want to use it. That's why they keep coming back to it when it comes back up. |

| 19:53 | <pdepartida> | yep, just checked it, keeps running. "nohup" seems interesting also. |
| 19:54 | <Isvara> | ssh host 'sh sleep 1000 &' seems to work as expected. |

| 20:10 | <TofuMatt> | If I have a mailserver, mail.kicksass.ca, and a vhost, kicksass.ca, and want them both to have SSL, but don't wanna buy a wildcard, can they be on the same IP -- i.e. is it just https that needs different IPs? |
| 20:11 | <Peng> | As long as you use different ports for https and mail, you can use the same IP. |
| 20:11 | <Isvara> | They can be on the same IP address, but you'll need two certificates. |
| 20:11 | <Peng> | That too. |
| 20:11 | <TofuMatt> | yeah, I knew that much |
| 20:11 | <TofuMatt> | OK, excellent |
| 20:12 | <Isvara> | The only reason you need different IP addresses for HTTPS is that the server otherwise has no idea which server certificate to present, because the SSL handshake happens before the HTTP request (with Host field) is sent. |

| 20:38 | <SelfishMan> | see, mikebot agrees |
| 20:38 | <Isvara> | SelfishMan: What's the "other stuff"? We're planning to use it for the file server for about four large Xen servers. |
| 20:39 | <Isvara> | Although iSCSI is still an option. |
| 20:39 | <SelfishMan> | Are you planning on running the xen nodes off of NFS or just mounting it and accessing data? |
| 20:39 | <Isvara> | The former. |
| 20:39 | <SelfishMan> | iSCSI is great when it works but many kernels are still very experimental |
| 20:40 | <Isvara> | It somehow seems a bit perverse having fake block devices as files on a NFS filesystem. |
| 20:40 | <SelfishMan> | I wouldn't run the xen nodes off of NFS unless they won't be accessing it much outside of boot. |
| 20:41 | <SelfishMan> | The 20 PXE nodes rarely read and never write to the NFS volume. |
| 20:41 | <Isvara> | Ah. These will be reading and writing a lot. |
| 20:41 | <SelfishMan> | I've tried using IPC::DirQueue on a NFS volume and that was terrible when there were 1000 items in the queue. |
| 20:41 | <Isvara> | iSCSI seems like a more natural fit, but no one on the team has used it in anger. |
| 20:42 | <Isvara> | Or we might just give up and use local LVM volumes and not migrate domains between servers very much. |
| 20:43 | <SelfishMan> | I would look at iSCSI but make sure the kernel support is solid. Honestly, in my experience, iSCSI targets aren't that stable yet. The initiator seems solid. |
| 20:43 | <SelfishMan> | I might have that backwards. Target = Server right? |
| 20:43 | <Isvara> | Yeah |
| 20:43 | <SelfishMan> | How large are the domains expected to be? |
| 20:44 | <Isvara> | By what measure? |
| 20:44 | <SelfishMan> | Raw bytes. |
| 20:44 | <SelfishMan> | brb |
| 20:44 | <Isvara> | Probably something like 10GiB each. They'll be things like ADS, XenApp server... |
| 20:45 | <Isvara> | A mix of Linux and Windows |

| 20:47 | <path-> | we use the software initiator on our current webserver |

| 20:48 | <path-> | host bus adapter |
| 20:48 | <path-> | like a scsi card |

| 21:08 | <SelfishMan> | The 20 fat client setup I put in at the library saved several hundred per year in AV licensing, cut support down from 30 hours/week to less then 2 and made the patrons happier. |
| 21:08 | <@mikegrb> | lolz |
| 21:08 | <SelfishMan> | lol |
| 21:08 | <avongauss> | They might have a point... |
| 21:08 | <Isvara> | I think they're just trying to make that half a billion dollars they paid seem worthwhile |
| 21:08 | <SelfishMan> | Isvara: That's awesome. |
| 21:09 | <SelfishMan> | Xen is better than VMWare ESX |
| 21:09 | <@mikegrb> | mmm cake |
| 21:09 | <SelfishMan> | Cake is still better than Xen |
| 21:09 | <path-> | you see the news about their ceo? |
| 21:09 | <SelfishMan> | mikebot agrees |
| 21:09 | <Isvara> | I've only used VMWare Server. |
| 21:09 | <avongauss> | I mean this as a totally serious question, but does Xen run Windows well at this point? |
| 21:09 | <path-> | kinda scary |
| 21:10 | <Isvara> | path-: What news was that? |
| 21:10 | <booja> | I quite like vmware :( |
| 21:10 | <path-> | http://www.virtualization.info/2008/07/exclusive-vmware-employees-reveals.html |
| 21:10 | <Isvara> | avongauss: Yeah, but how it does it is terrifying. |
| 21:10 | <SelfishMan> | avongauss: I have a few Xen Windows nodes and they run great |
| 21:10 | <path-> | we're really invested in vmware now |
| 21:11 | <path-> | i wouldn't mind going the xen route, but i don't think i'd get it past some of my coworkers |
| 21:11 | <avongauss> | Terrifying? Okay, you're definitely not associated with the sales department. ;) |
| 21:11 | <avongauss> | Xen Windows nodes? |
| 21:11 | <path-> | one of them firmly believes that you get what you pay for |
| 21:12 | <avongauss> | I haven't used their ESX product in a while, so I'm mainly basing this off the Workstation and Free Server product, but I've become less of |
| 21:12 | <Isvara> | avongauss: Because Windows expects to start up in 16-bit real mode, Xen starts it on an emulated CPU in QEMU in userland. Then, when it switches to 32-bit protected mode, it moves the running domain from QEMU to the real, virtualised CPU, does a bit of binary kernel patching, and replaces the odd driver here and there. |
| 21:12 | <SelfishMan> | Each has a place. I use VMWare, Xen and a handful of others |
| 21:12 | <path-> | so he's more involved in the windows end of the shop :P |
| 21:12 | <avongauss> | a fan of VMware in the last year or so - just a lot more bloat and less focus on core functionality in my opinion. |
| 21:12 | <path-> | the virtual infrastructure stuff works well |
| 21:13 | <path-> | things fail automagically |
| 21:13 | <path-> | vmotion is cool |
| 21:13 | <path-> | but it's all pretty pricey |
| 21:13 | <avongauss> | Terrifying was good word then... "Binary Kernel Patching"... |
| 21:13 | <path-> | things fail over to other hosts automagically :) |
| 21:13 | <booja> | have any of you guys played with nomachine ? |
| 21:13 | <Isvara> | The Xen guys are ridiculously smart. |
| 21:14 | <Isvara> | Although so far they haven't been smart enough to move into an office with air conditioning. |
| 21:14 | <SelfishMan> | booja: Yes. I don't think it is worth it. |
| 21:14 | <path-> | i wonder if there will be lots of people leaving vmware |
| 21:14 | <path-> | maybe citrix will hire come of them |
| 21:15 | <path-> | or will they start something else |
| 21:15 | <SelfishMan> | Being hot makes the blood flow faster which pumps more oxygen to the brain. Hence the intelligence. |
| 21:15 | * | avongauss confused goes to read the link path- posted. |
| 21:16 | <Isvara> | The link confused me. She was trying to get VMWare spun off from what? |

| 21:16 | <path-> | mostly emc |

| 21:17 | <mwalling> | Isvara: it is? |
| 21:17 | <path-> | vmware works on my linux machine |
| 21:17 | <Isvara> | mwalling: The stupid installation script that nearly always fails when you upgrade your kernel. |
| 21:17 | <mwalling> | my only issue was something screwy in the guest modules when you build them from source |
| 21:17 | * | Isvara keeps having to download some upgrade-150-150 script or something from some random site |
| 21:18 | <Isvara> | Otherwise it wouldn't build the kernel modules properly (not the guest kernel) |
| 21:18 | <mwalling> | 21:17 < mwalling> my only issue was something screwy in the guest modules when you build them from source |
| 21:19 | <Isvara> | Yeah, this was not the guest modules. |
| 21:19 | <Isvara> | This is on the VMWare Server host |
| 21:19 | <mwalling> | er |
| 21:19 | <mwalling> | yeah |
| 21:19 | <mwalling> | thats what i ment |
| 21:19 | <mwalling> | hey, i'm tired |
| 21:19 | <Isvara> | Tsk. |
| 21:19 | <path-> | vmware server is pretty crappy compared to workstation or esx |
| 21:19 | <mwalling> | (and usually deploy vmware with linux guests onto windows hosts anyways) |
| 21:20 | <path-> | i'm irritated that their vi3 client only runs on windows |
| 21:20 | <straterra> | thats why i have a win vm |
| 21:20 | <path-> | i have a windows guest only to run the vi3 console to administer the esx servers |
| 21:20 | <path-> | which is lame |
| 21:20 | <Isvara> | So anyway, VMWare has a new CEO from Microsoft, while Microsoft have built their own virtualisation technology, HyperV, using engineers from XenSource, and perhaps VMWare employees will quit and move to XenSource. It's all a bit mixed up. |

| 22:42 | <CaptObviousman> | someone's leaning on the GENERATE 90% TRAFFIC button again |
| 22:42 | <TofuMatt> | haha |
| 22:42 | <bd_> | hmm, mtr NJ<->dallas has no problems |
| 22:42 | <Isvara> | Ping flood it. The packets should shake the button, waking up whoever is leaning on it. |
| 22:42 | <JDLSpeedy> | CaptObviousman: what host are you on? |
| 22:43 | <bd_> | or RR<->dallas |
| 22:43 | <CaptObviousman> | umm, I forget |

| 22:43 | <JDLSpeedy> | seams to be fine now.... |
| 22:43 | <straterra> | i used to be on that |
| 22:44 | * | JDLSpeedy spoke to soon |
| 22:44 | <tjfontaine> | I've been seeing some lag out from my dallas node, but my connection to it was fine |
| 22:44 | <CaptObviousman> | other users are seeing it too, so it's not just us |
| 22:44 | <JDLSpeedy> | linode to linode fine, desktop to linode packet loss |

| 22:46 | <bobby> | Does anyone know about the DNS manager in Linode? |

| 22:46 | <bobby> | i added two "master" |

| 22:47 | <bobby> | around 7pm |
| 22:47 | <bd_> | and how are you testing? |
| 22:47 | <bobby> | est |
| 22:47 | <bobby> | 7PM EST |
| 22:48 | <bd_> | note that if you tried to access it too early, your ISP nameservers may have cached the negative result |
| 22:48 | <bobby> | i click on "check", and they both come back as "okay" |
| 22:48 | <bd_> | bobby: if you don't mind, what is the domain in question? |
| 22:48 | <bobby> | and also hitting the web address |
| 22:49 | <bobby> | thanks bd_, i can check again tmr morning i guess. but what is the difference between master and slave? |
| 22:49 | <bd_> | slave means it'll copy the entire domain from some other nameserver using AXFR |
| 22:49 | <Isvara> | bd_: The trouble is that it's hard to know what 'too early' is, because I don't think it says when the zone gets reloaded, or even whether it happens right away. |
| 22:49 | <bd_> | master means you edit it right there |
| 22:50 | <bd_> | Isvara: it's reloaded every 15 minutes - xx:00, xx:15, xx:30, xx:45 |
| 22:50 | <bd_> | Check with nslookup domain @ns1.linode.com |
| 22:50 | <bd_> | no caching there |
| 22:50 | <Isvara> | Oh, it is? I hadn't seen that. |

| 22:53 | <bobby> | bd_, how do i check if "top-level-domain server delegation is updated" |

| 22:57 | <@mikegrb> | should be better now |

| 23:19 | <CaptObviousman> | Dallas is fucked up right now |

| 23:20 | <Peng> | I'm okay, I think. |
| 23:21 | <Kassah> | I'm having packet loss at home |

| 23:26 | <CaptObviousman> | this os bloody awful |
| 23:26 | <Kassah> | linode.com seems speedy to me from CableOne Idaho |
| 23:27 | <TofuMatt> | which one? |
| 23:27 | <Peng> | Hmm, from DreamHost in California to Dallas, I got one packet lost total. From me in Florida, I got some bad loss in Level 3 and The Planet's network. |
| 23:27 | <bd_> | ah, my routes don't seem to be going through level3 |
| 23:27 | <CaptObviousman> | always fucking level3 |
| 23:27 | <Peng> | Or Savvis. |
| 23:27 | <CaptObviousman> | or Savvis, yes |
| 23:28 | <CaptObviousman> | what other backbone providers are there to blame? Cogent? SBC? |
| 23:28 | <CaptObviousman> | Worldcom used to be a backbone provider, weren't they? |
| 23:28 | <Kassah> | mine doesn't hit level3 or savvis either |
| 23:28 | <Peng> | Cogent are jerks, but I don't remember them being unreliable. |
