| 00:14 | <mib_h5u6i9r5> | never tried it but I heard that "lol" gets you banned on #python |
| 00:14 | <_banana> | try it |
| 00:14 | <Peng_> | mib_h5u6i9r5: It's not like a bot kicks you, but it pisses off all of the ops. |

| 01:09 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | "Mercurial uses locks to ensure that only one process can write to a repository at a time (the locking mechanism is safe even over filesystems that are notoriously hostile to locking, such as NFS)." - I wonder how they managed that |
| 01:10 | <Peng_> | mib_1a4dnkrk: Use the source. :D |
| 01:10 | <Peng_> | mib_1a4dnkrk: Check out Bazaar too, maybe. |
| 01:11 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | the Mercurial book is a great read |
| 01:12 | <Peng_> | Looks like hg use a symlink, or a file if symlinks aren't supported. |
| 01:14 | <Peng_> | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bzr/bzr/trunk/annotate/head:/bzrlib/lockdir.py |
| 01:15 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | Peng_: do you use Bazaar? |

| 01:16 | <Peng_> | http://selenic.com/repo/hg/file/tip/mercurial/lock.py |
| 01:16 | <Peng_> | mib_1a4dnkrk: Why? |
| 01:16 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | just curious, I didn't evaluate it for my current project because it was too slow the last time I used it |
| 01:16 | <Peng_> | Oh, I linked to the annotate view of one but not the other. Oh well, whatever. |
| 01:16 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | thanks |
| 01:17 | <Peng_> | mib_1a4dnkrk: I use bzr and hg. I find bzr more interesting, and follow its development more closely. |
| 01:18 | <Peng_> | mib_1a4dnkrk: 1.) I just like bzr better, 2.) It's more interesting to watch a project where they're still coming up with new disk and network formats; hg started off with better formats and hasn't had to change them. |
| 01:18 | <Peng_> | (more or less) |
| 01:19 | <Peng_> | mib_1a4dnkrk: When was the last time you used bzr? Which version? Which repo format? |
| 01:20 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | I think I used it when it was still called bazaar |
| 01:20 | <Peng_> | mib_1a4dnkrk: What do you mean? You used baz? |
| 01:20 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | when they were still figuring out the name |
| 01:20 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | ahh yes, I think it was called baz at that time |
| 01:21 | <Peng_> | mib_1a4dnkrk: baz is 100% different from bzr. baz is a fork of Arch; bzr is a new codebase. |
| 01:21 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | what I liked about it was that it could push over FTP, at the time I didn't have a VPS |
| 01:22 | <Peng_> | mib_1a4dnkrk: bzr still supports FTP, FWIW. SFTP, too, if your provider is less shitty. |
| 01:22 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | I don't recall what I used but I'm pretty sure the command was bzr |
| 01:22 | <Peng_> | mib_1a4dnkrk: Oh. |
| 01:23 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | yeah, I was using cheap web hosting so bzr was the only thing that worked on it |
| 01:23 | <Peng_> | Note: I probably fall under some definition of biased in regards to bzr. |
| 01:24 | <Peng_> | Well, I dunno what I'm trying to say. Anyway, I do hang out in #bzr a lot, and am sort of a developer of one Bazaar-related project. |
| 01:24 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | is it just me or is learning Mercurial a lot easier than learning Subversion... |
| 01:24 | <Peng_> | Subversion? Who uses Subversion? |
| 01:24 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | I use it at my day job |
| 01:25 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | I remember learning it a 5-6 years ago and I remember it taking a much longer time to understand |
| 01:25 | <@irgeek> | Subversion is awesome. |
| 01:25 | <@irgeek> | If you're only checking out... |
| 01:25 | <Peng_> | I moved away from svn at the same time I started becoming semi-competent with VCSes. |
| 01:26 | <Peng_> | I use bzr-svn now. :D |
| 01:26 | <Peng_> | For when I have to deal with svn at all. Which is very rarely. |
| 01:26 | <@irgeek> | git-svn++ |
| 01:26 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | chapter 4 of the mercurial book is a great introduction on its internals |
| 01:27 | <Peng_> | My only comment about svn is that every time I use it, I have to check the help page for --revision arguments. |
| 01:27 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | to its*** |
| 01:27 | <Peng_> | BASE/COMMITTED/PREV/ugh. |
| 01:28 | <Peng_> | Still have no clue what they are, and I don't care to either, since I avoid svn. :) |
| 01:28 | <Peng_> | irgeek: I used bzr-git too. :D |
| 01:28 | <Peng_> | s/d// |
| 01:29 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | Peng_: which bzr related project are you working on? |
| 01:30 | <Peng_> | mib_1a4dnkrk: Loggerhead, the web viewer. (I dispute "working", though.) |
| 01:30 | <Peng_> | mib_1a4dnkrk: (That http://bazaar.launchpad.net/ link above uses it!) |
| 01:30 | <Peng_> | Really, I barely qualify as a developer. |
| 01:30 | <Peng_> | For all the time I spend on OFTC and Freenode, I'm not very smart, or productive. |
| 01:31 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | sometimes I hang out here just because I need the human interaction in between coding sprints |
| 01:32 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | I don't think you can actually learn much from a chat room. |
| 01:32 | <Peng_> | I think I learn a lot from IRC. OTOH, I also think I'm pretty dumb, so I dunno. |
| 01:33 | <@irgeek> | Peng_: Is this supposed to be the official loggerhead repo: http://www.lag.net/branches/loggerhead/loggerhead_dev/ |
| 01:33 | <@irgeek> | ? |
| 01:33 | <@irgeek> | 'Cause it's broken. |
| 01:35 | <Peng_> | irgeek: No. lp:loggerhead is current. |
| 01:35 | <mib_1a4dnkrk> | well I say that, but I've learned quite a bit from this room and #django etc.. |

| 02:45 | <JoeK> | and then an hour later they say "oh, theres a problem in your area, were fixing it as we speak" |
| 02:45 | <@pparadis> | at which point they're like "damnnnn" |
| 02:45 | <JoeK> | yea i do traceroutes and email it to them |

| 02:45 | <@pparadis> | i showed a comcast contractor mtr and he just about fell over. |

| 02:47 | <JoeK> | that way my staff cant tell me BS |
| 02:47 | <@pparadis> | lucky enough, that guy was actually fairly smart (actually knew the cable side really well), and he completely went along with me on the phone with his people. |
| 02:47 | <JoeK> | my isp is so stupid though |
| 02:47 | <SelfishMan> | The problem most of the time is that even though they say they have reset it they usually haven't and just rebooted their computer instead. |

| 02:53 | <MathieuB> | Alright. Just got a linode and trying to figure out where to get the info to connect via FTP |
| 02:53 | <JoeK> | you have to install ftp on your own |
| 02:53 | <JoeK> | you have an sshd account though |
| 02:53 | <@pparadis> | an ftp server isn't installed by default. |
| 02:54 | <@pparadis> | what OS are you using? |
| 02:54 | <MathieuB> | Ah, that would explain why I can't connect. |
| 02:54 | <MathieuB> | Centos 5.2 |
| 02:54 | <@pparadis> | we provide a minimal install. |
| 02:54 | <@pparadis> | are you using windows on the desktop? |
| 02:54 | <MathieuB> | Yep |
| 02:54 | <raistlinthewiz> | hey is there any network outages over newark? |
| 02:54 | <Peng_> | MathieuB: Why would you WANT FTP? |
| 02:54 | <A-KO> | sigh |
| 02:54 | <Peng_> | raistlinthewiz: People have been having some issues. |
| 02:54 | <@pparadis> | you can use PuTTY to connect via SSH. |
| 02:55 | <A-KO> | I sitll don't understand all the hatred towards FTP |
| 02:55 | <@pparadis> | you could also use WinSCP to connect in a graphical environment for transferring files later on. |
| 02:55 | <@pparadis> | A-KO: clear-text passwords?!? |
| 02:55 | <JoeK> | are the dns servers failing or is it just me? |
| 02:55 | <@pparadis> | and data transfers in the clear? |
| 02:55 | <MathieuB> | @Peng Simply used to it |
| 02:55 | <MathieuB> | Alright, I'll try that. Thanks pparadis |
| 02:56 | <raistlinthewiz> | @peng, my sites stopped responding as used to, css are not transferred correctly |
| 02:56 | <@pparadis> | MathieuB: that's all right :). please feel free to ask for help anytime you need it. |
| 02:56 | <A-KO> | pparadis: Depending on what you're using FTP for, I don't see the issue. It's not like I'm saying set the chroot dir to / and login as root over FTP. Just saying, the animosity towards FTP is kind of.....unwarranted. |
| 02:56 | <raistlinthewiz> | no changes with configuration, was running at least for days |
| 02:56 | <JoeK> | the dns servers are failing |
| 02:56 | <raistlinthewiz> | hmm ok |
| 02:56 | <@pparadis> | A-KO: ftp is fine for anonymous transfers, but unacceptable anytime auth is involved. |
| 02:56 | <A-KO> | nonsense |
| 02:57 | <raistlinthewiz> | did admins made any ETA announcements for fix? |
| 02:57 | <@pparadis> | if you're referring to NAC, we're working on it. |
| 02:57 | <@pparadis> | there's an issue with the DC itself. |
| 02:57 | <Peng_> | From what I've heard, programming a client is a bitch, too, thanks to inconsistent server implementations. |
| 02:58 | <chesty> | Peng_: you're an ops now? |
| 02:58 | <A-KO> | I use FTP and FTPES for my hosted websites and it's more than fine. In fact, I use FTP (Explicit) to handle even managing the sites individually on my own at times because of the way I've got user permissions configured--and it's better than doing it with SCP (which in my case would mean doing it as root). FTP (Implicit) accomplishes the same thing as SFTP/SCP. |

| 02:59 | <@pparadis> | A-KO: if you're tacking crypto on, that's fine. the traditional FTP implementation is not. |
| 02:59 | <Peng_> | A-KO & chesty: Who were you trying to tab-/auto-complete? Me or pparadis? |
| 02:59 | <@pparadis> | but it begs the question: why not just use scp/rsync/ssh? |
| 02:59 | <A-KO> | chesty: Because there's a lot of animosity towards it in here over the years. |
| 03:00 | <@pparadis> | A- |
| 03:00 | <chesty> | Peng_: you |
| 03:00 | <@pparadis> | A-KO: people misuse FTP constantly. |
| 03:00 | <Peng_> | chesty: What's an "ops"? |
| 03:00 | <SelfishMan> | !f ops |
| 03:00 | <linbot> | SelfishMan: Users with ops are employees of Linode, and know what they're talking about. The rest of us are the ever-so-helpful community. (95.400%) |
| 03:00 | <A-KO> | pparadis: Because FTP implementations, when you're doing hosted sites, are easier to give to people since almost all OS' have some built-in support for FTP. |
| 03:00 | <Peng_> | chesty: I am most definitely -o, if that's what you mean. |
| 03:00 | <chesty> | I know, but two people promoted you |
| 03:00 | <chesty> | read back |
| 03:00 | <Peng_> | What? |
| 03:00 | <Peng_> | Oh oh. |
| 03:01 | <Peng_> | Hmm, "@Peng". That looks good. I don't like "@peng" as much, though. |
| 03:01 | <A-KO> | besides, depending on the ftp server's authentication system--whether or not the FTP user passwords are transmitted as cleartext is of no consequence. |
| 03:02 | <A-KO> | chesty: Part of the reason why I speak up is because there's almost a unanimous blasting of FTP-anything in the channel here. And while it's true that you shouldn't run FTP as your primary file transfer mechanism between your linode and your machine--I just think people jump the gun without understanding one's purpose or implementation. |
| 03:02 | <A-KO> | For some people, FTP can be as secure--if configured properly. |
| 03:03 | <Peng_> | Hmm. I'm trying to think of a response, but I can't. |
| 03:03 | <@pparadis> | it's just _so_ much easier to use ssh. |
| 03:03 | <SelfishMan> | pparadis: depends on the use |
| 03:03 | <A-KO> | I agree, for managing your linode's filesystem from a Windows GUI, a tool like WinSCP is much much nicer and more suited towards that as it was designed for working for that purpose. |
| 03:04 | <SelfishMan> | I host websites for a lot of people and most of them demand FTP access. I could eventually switch them over to other protocols but that's a tough sell |
| 03:04 | <A-KO> | It gives you many options related to system management that a regular FTP client won't or can't. |
| 03:04 | <JoeK> | Filezilla can use SFTP too |
| 03:04 | <@pparadis> | heck, i use ssh ingration in nautilus under gnome on my laptop, and macfuse on my work rig. |
| 03:04 | <A-KO> | SelfishMan: I offer mine both FTP and explicit ssl |
| 03:04 | <A-KO> | it provides enough security |
| 03:04 | <SelfishMan> | A-KO: Yes, I offer SSL as well on it |
| 03:05 | <A-KO> | explicit SSL is the best option IMO |
| 03:05 | <Peng_> | I think I underestimate the number of situations where FTP is more useful than SFTP. |
| 03:05 | <@pparadis> | i'm trying to think if i have any auth'ed services on my linode that _don't_ require crypto... |
| 03:05 | <SelfishMan> | I'm more using "FTP" as a generic term for all versions and specs of the protocol |
| 03:05 | <Peng_> | Still, if you can avoid FTP, you should. |
| 03:06 | <SelfishMan> | I have to run FTP, POP3 and IMAP unencrypted and have been trying for years to get people to use the SSL/TLS version |
| 03:06 | <@irgeek> | Doesn't FTPOMGWEADDEDSSL only encrypt the control channel? So your files (with the passwords in the PHP files) still cross the wire clear-text? |
| 03:06 | <@pparadis> | for those affected by the NAC issues, i see good connectivity from here, anyone care to verify via MTR? |
| 03:06 | <Peng_> | FTP's advantage over SFTP is ubiquity, and tools for setting up chroots or whatever. The ideal solution would be improving SFTP, not continuing to use FTP. |
| 03:06 | <A-KO> | pretty sure it enrcypts the data channel also |
| 03:07 | <raistlinthewiz> | ill run MTR |
| 03:07 | <@irgeek> | Pretty sure it doesn't. |
| 03:08 | <SelfishMan> | Peng_: With many programs still barely supporting FTP without encryption that's asking a lot. I get calls from people all the time using an older fersion of Dreamweaver or one of hundreds of other site/content editing apps. |
| 03:08 | <SelfishMan> | It's a miracle for them to work with FTP, FTPES is still pretty funky with most and SFTP is unheard of |
| 03:09 | <SelfishMan> | It's not ideal but changing technologies is a long process |
| 03:09 | <A-KO> | Secure Data Channel |
| 03:09 | <A-KO> | The secure data channel can be entered through the issue of the PROT command. It is also enabled by default when the AUTH TLS command is issued. After such time, all data channel communication between the FTPS client and server is assumed to be encrypted. |
| 03:09 | <A-KO> | The FTPS client may exit the secure data channel mode at any time by issuing a CDC (clear data channel) command. |
| 03:10 | <@pparadis> | the tools are readily available, in point-and-click GUI wrappers. |
| 03:11 | <SelfishMan> | pparadis: That's fine for some but tell that to the person that is pissed at you because they just spent $500 on $zomgawesomehtmleditor and are pissed that it supports uploading sites but YOUR SERVER won't work with their software |
| 03:11 | <Peng_> | SelfishMan: Yeah, I know. That's why I want to go move to Ideal World, where I have a gigabit, IPv6 connection for $10/month, instead of...here. |
| 03:11 | <raistlinthewiz> | ppradis it seems fine |

| 04:00 | <@pparadis> | what's wrong with heading down to your local pub and buying a girl some drinks? maybe, i don't know, some idle chatting? maybe i'm just old fasioned. |
| 04:00 | <saurabh> | hello everyone |
| 04:01 | <saurabh> | can anyone please tell me what is bandwidth pooling |
| 04:01 | <@pparadis> | bandwidth is pooled between your linodes. |
| 04:01 | <saurabh> | can you please explain that |
| 04:01 | <@pparadis> | your transfer quota is the sum of the individual linodes' transfer quotas. |
| 04:01 | <chuck> | saurabh: It means that the bandwidth allocations of all your Linodes are added together, and that's essentially how much all of your Linodes can use |
| 04:02 | <chuck> | (that raises some questions in my head, but i'll stifle them for now :P) |

| 04:02 | <@pparadis> | chuck, chuck, chuck... |
| 04:02 | <amitz> | there is another method to drug a girl. Basically you take your standard plastic water bottle, inject drug into the bottle from the bottom, and seal the hole by candle. |
| 04:02 | <chuck> | pparadis, pparadis, pparadis... |
| 04:03 | <@pparadis> | say it again |
| 04:03 | <chuck> | "phil, phil, phil" works better |
| 04:03 | <@pparadis> | much better |
| 04:03 | <chuck> | that reminds me of bill nye the science guy |
| 04:03 | <chuck> | damn it SpaceHobo :P |
| 04:03 | <Peng_> | amitz: Why not just inject the person directly? |
| 04:03 | <amitz> | makes me paranoid... *sigh* |
| 04:03 | <chuck> | I need to type faster |
| 04:03 | <@pparadis> | amitz: you know, i busted a dude about 10 years ago trying to drug a friend of mine; it did not go well for him. |
| 04:04 | <amitz> | because it's bothersome and may makes the girl has the time to yell. |
| 04:04 | <Peng_> | It'd be nice if there was a new user around that we could scare away. |
| 04:04 | <amitz> | pparadis: yeah, people like that sucks |
| 04:04 | <@pparadis> | lolz |
| 04:05 | <Peng_> | amitz: Wait, why do you have a water bottle, syringe and lit candle? |
| 04:05 | <Peng_> | Oh, I get it. So the bottle won't look tampered with. |
| 04:05 | <@pparadis> | amitz: i assure you, he didn't try anything resembling that show again for a long, long time. he may have needed therapy. |
| 04:06 | <@pparadis> | but i'm really a very nice guy, honestly! |

| 04:07 | <Peng_> | pparadis: You should be asleep! |
| 04:07 | <@pparadis> | never |
| 04:07 | <@pparadis> | when i'm dead, maybe. |
| 04:13 | <Peng_> | When you're dead you'll be dead, not asleep. |
| 04:13 | <Peng_> | Unless you're undead, in which case why start sleeping then? |

| 04:19 | <Peng_> | mig5: Cute undead? |
| 04:19 | <@pparadis> | hell yeah, if they don't move well on their own power they'd better at least be cute. |
| 04:20 | <Peng_> | Are ghosts undead, or just physical beings like zombies? |
| 04:20 | <@pparadis> | ghosts are generally defined as being rather ethereal. |
| 04:20 | <mig5> | i thought ghosts were metaphysical? |
| 04:20 | <mig5> | there we go |
| 04:21 | <@pparadis> | although if one wanted reach out and touch someone, that could be kinda freaky in multiple senses. |

| 04:22 | <Peng_> | That almost happened in Zombies Calling, but... :D |
| 04:22 | <Peng_> | There was a bit of concept art, though. |
| 04:22 | <mig5> | i've seen a zombie march thing.. people dressed as zombies, some were cute |
| 04:22 | <mig5> | but yes, probably because they weren't real zombies |
| 04:22 | <@pparadis> | the problem with zombies is that parts tend to fall off, or in, at inconvenient moments. |
| 04:22 | <mig5> | like lepers |
| 04:23 | <@pparadis> | yes |
| 04:23 | <@pparadis> | with leprosy of the fun parts. |
| 04:23 | <Peng_> | Vampires! Are vampires undead? Sort of? It depends? |
| 04:23 | <Peng_> | Lotsa cute vampires. |
| 04:23 | <@pparadis> | no, they're immortal. |
| 04:23 | <Peng_> | Darn. |
| 04:23 | <mig5> | don't tell me you've been watching that twilight shit |

| 04:24 | <Peng_> | Or sparkles? I don't remember. |
| 04:24 | <Peng_> | Yeah, I think it's sparkles. |
| 04:24 | <@pparadis> | although their existence starts to suck _a lot_ after a few hundred dry years. and no, twilight sucks horribly, Anne Rice 4life. |

| 04:43 | <mig5> | i love my eee 1000HE |
| 04:44 | <mig5> | debian scares me when it starts to 'just work', especially on laptops :) |
| 04:47 | <@pparadis> | lenny tends to just work more often than not. i agree that this is somewhat scary. |
| 04:48 | <amitz> | I used to like ubuntu until their updates break my wifi and wine (granted wine is not in "main" repository). Now I use debian. But sometime in the future I'll probably go back to ubuntu again ;-) |
| 04:48 | <amitz> | pparadis: definitely the influence from ubuntu. |
| 04:48 | <@pparadis> | amitz: i'm quite accustomed to "make && make clean && make install" with madwifi. |
| 04:49 | <@pparadis> | reverse those first two. |
| 04:49 | <mig5> | i was used to installing the backported 2.6.29 sid kernel on laptops to get wifi working.. on my eee1000he, 2.6.26 just worked.. not the case for my eee 701SD or 900 |
| 04:49 | <amitz> | pparadis: I use m-a, but that asides, it was about somehow madwifi and network manager not working or something like that. |
| 04:49 | <@pparadis> | ubuntu is debian testing, give or take. |
| 04:50 | <mig5> | i almost thought i'd installed ubuntu by accident.. til i realised i was using 50% less RAM than if that were the case :) |
| 04:50 | <@pparadis> | nice |
| 04:50 | <mig5> | not enough regression either. man that's been bad on jaunty where i used it |
| 04:51 | <amitz> | I say ubuntu is the testing of debian testing. By the time all the bugs are ironed out, debian stable reaps the benefit :-p |
| 04:51 | <amitz> | of course it becomes out of date :-( |
| 04:52 | <mig5> | well it IS based on sid still isn't it? so unstable + ubuntu patches + regressive bugs :) |
| 04:52 | <amitz> | but nothing bleeding edge I need these days. |
| 04:52 | <mig5> | neither |
| 04:53 | <@pparadis> | i equate "out of date" with "it works" |
| 04:53 | <amitz> | mig5: I believe so. What's neat about ubuntu is that the amount of howto out there. |
| 04:53 | <mig5> | pparadis: likewise |
| 04:53 | <mig5> | amitz: must say i've rarely searched. the debian wiki actually surprised me with its eeepc documentation |
| 04:53 | <@pparadis> | when i run "apt-get upgrade" on lenny, i'm not sweating. |
| 04:54 | <mig5> | hehe. well i sweat, but i'm a stresser :) |
| 04:54 | <amitz> | pparadis: that... I agree. |
| 04:54 | <@pparadis> | i also run rdiff-backup before any upgrades ;) |

| 07:54 | <michaelmcandrew> | ok - but i can't help thinking it seems a waste to pay $20 a month for this |
| 07:55 | <bliblok> | It's well worth it for me. |
| 07:55 | <mwalling> | michaelmcandrew: why do you say that? |
| 07:55 | <bliblok> | But your situation may be different. |
| 07:55 | <michaelmcandrew> | sure, but do you know what i'm getting at? i mean, lets say i have 5 clients and i start them all off with the same (relatively stable) image |
| 07:56 | <michaelmcandrew> | i then have to have a sixth package that i need to have just sitting there ready to go for the new client |
| 07:56 | <michaelmcandrew> | sixth image |
| 07:57 | <mwalling> | above you're praising SH, which has the same pricepoint, but less resources, and now you're claiming that linode's not worth $20/mo, so no, i dont know what you're getting at at all |
| 07:58 | <michaelmcandrew> | it's mostly powered off not doing anything until i need to create a new linode. at which point i clone it on to the a new linode and then it becomes dormant |
| 07:59 | <michaelmcandrew> | just trying to work out the best way to use linode :) |
| 07:59 | <mario> | if you don't like it, don't sign up |
| 07:59 | <mario> | simple as that |
| 07:59 | <mario> | no need to bash |
| 07:59 | <bliblok> | michaelmcandrew: Do you really need to have one node per client? |
| 07:59 | <michaelmcandrew> | i'm not saying it's not worth $20 |
| 07:59 | <michaelmcandrew> | or bashing linode |
| 08:00 | <mwalling> | michaelmcandrew: you need to have a disk image in standby on a linode? |
| 08:00 | <mwalling> | if you can shrink it, you could just add it as an image to one of your existing linodes and only pay the storage cost |
| 08:01 | <mwalling> | also, the backup service might interest you when it comes out of beta |
| 08:01 | <michaelmcandrew> | mwailing: actually that's what i've done. made it half the size so i can have two images on one linode. |
| 08:01 | <amitz> | hmm I should probably sell out DOS hosting. One $20 linode can easily get me hundreds of DOS.. |
| 08:02 | <HoopyCat> | amitz: ambigious acronym there ;-) |
| 08:02 | <amitz> | uh...right :-p |
| 08:03 | <michaelmcandrew> | the one problem with that is every now and again i have to shut down the linode that the image it on to make changes to it, so i can't use it for anything that needs to be up 100% of the time |
| 08:03 | <HoopyCat> | michaelmcandrew: you could get a new linode, make the necessary changes, clone the image back to its safehouse, then delete the new linode |
| 08:04 | <mario> | michaelmcandrew: if you need something up 100%, you have the resources to do it, and it costs unlimited amount of money :P |
| 08:04 | <michaelmcandrew> | HoopyCat: Good idea - and I would only be charged pro rata for that extra day on the new linode, right? |
| 08:04 | <mwalling> | my lastname isnt wailing. |
| 08:05 | <michaelmcandrew> | oops, sorry |

| 08:36 | <HoopyCat> | JoeK: i am required by professional ethics and safety considerations to implore you to contact a licensed electrician to inspect and repair the damaged equipment and to not attempt repairs yourself |
| 08:37 | <JoeK> | o_O |
| 08:37 | <JoeK> | i fixed it maself kthx |
| 08:37 | <HoopyCat> | JoeK: well, i didn't say *i*'d call a licensed electrician, now did i? :-) |
| 08:37 | <JoeK> | :+ |
| 08:37 | <HoopyCat> | JoeK: closest i've come to setting up a socks proxy is using ssh's built-in socksotron |
| 08:38 | <HoopyCat> | (socksophone?) |
| 08:38 | <JoeK> | i just need any orking proxy that lets me connect 7-8 clones to it |
| 08:38 | <JoeK> | and is set to my ip only |
| 08:39 | <HoopyCat> | JoeK: adding "-D 1234" to your ssh command line when sshing somewhere will create a socks proxy on localhost:1234 (assuming it is allowed by the server configuration) |
| 08:39 | <JoeK> | "localhost" |
| 08:39 | <JoeK> | :< |
| 08:40 | <JoeK> | wait :+ |
| 08:40 | <JoeK> | i did that, now do i just connect like a normal socks4? |
| 08:42 | <HoopyCat> | JoeK: executive summary of my breaker destruction: used to work on a 9am to 9pm helpdesk, on the 9am to 6pm shift; i had my own coffee pot, which i used to brew coffee at 9am. one day i traded my shift and came in for the 12pm to 9pm shift. unfortunately, there were twice as many people there at 12pm than there were at 9am, meaning ~twice as many computers running and ~twice as much load. turn coffee pot on, all computers suddenly go o |
| 08:42 | <JoeK> | what is it listening on ip wise? |
| 08:42 | <HoopyCat> | JoeK: yep, use localhost:1234 as a socks4 proxy and it should work |
| 08:42 | <HoopyCat> | or 127.0.0.1:1234 if you prefer IP addresses |
| 08:42 | <JoeK> | -.- |
| 08:42 | <JoeK> | this means my home connection cant get to my vps :+ |
| 08:43 | <JoeK> | ah |
| 08:43 | <JoeK> | -D <ip>:<port> |
| 08:43 | <HoopyCat> | JoeK: if your VPS is named linode.yourdomain.com, you would do ssh -D 1234 linode.yourdomain.com |
| 08:44 | <JoeK> | i used the ip |
| 08:44 | <HoopyCat> | JoeK: then, on the machine from which you ssh'd, you can use 127.0.0.1:1234 as a socks proxy |
| 08:44 | <JoeK> | i binded to its local ip, and i got on from my hom |
| 08:44 | <JoeK> | e |
| 08:44 | <JoeK> | it may not be secure, but still |
| 08:45 | <HoopyCat> | ok, just as long as you are aware that anything that can reach that IP address can now use it as a socks proxy |
| 08:45 | <JoeK> | well |
| 08:45 | <JoeK> | im going to use a port nobody would think is a proxy |
| 08:45 | <JoeK> | such as the default ssl port ^_^ |
| 08:46 | <JoeK> | or if i can find out how to open the pop3 port |
| 08:46 | <HoopyCat> | if the port number is less than 1024, you'd have to run the ssh client as root, which is probably silly |
| 08:46 | <HoopyCat> | also, security by obscurity is about as dumb as trickle-down economics |
| 08:46 | <JoeK> | im guessing theres no way i can run the ssh command in a nohup or similar command |

| 08:47 | <JoeK> | which parameters would allow me to put in a pass then exit? |
| 08:48 | <JoeK> | the only time i used screen was when i did screen -dmS <name> <command> |
| 08:48 | <JoeK> | but that immediatly forks into backround |
| 08:49 | <HoopyCat> | well, ssh will have to be running for the tunnel to be up... check the man page to see what else there might be to offer |
| 08:49 | <HoopyCat> | JoeK: screen's a handy thing to learn |
| 08:49 | <JoeK> | i usually use nohup |
| 08:49 | <JoeK> | i think i got it o.o |
| 08:50 | <HoopyCat> | i usually use things intended to be daemons for daemonly tasks... i find that if i have to nohup it, it's probably going to stab me in the back somehow down the road |
| 08:50 | <JoeK> | nohup just forks something in the backround |
| 08:51 | <JoeK> | i hate screen -.- (:P) |
| 08:51 | <JoeK> | im looking at screen --help |
| 08:52 | <HoopyCat> | i know, but if that something isn't built to live in the background, it's probably missing some amount of security, stability, or autonomy that inspired the author to not spend two minutes making it daemonizable |
| 08:53 | <JoeK> | well lets say i drop connection at my home |
| 08:53 | <JoeK> | i dont want to have to login to my vps just to re-establish the tunnel |
| 08:54 | <HoopyCat> | JoeK: type "screen", then type ctrl-A and ?. that's pretty much all one needs. all screen commands start with ctrl-A... n goes to the next screen, c creates a new screen, 0 through 9 go to the first through tenth screens. d detaches. screen -RAD will reattach any screen you have running to your current terminal. |

| 10:15 | <Sudar> | Ubuntu 8.10 |
| 10:17 | <HoopyCat> | Sudar: "logrotate" will do the magic automagically |
| 10:17 | <Sudar> | actually I have used the instructions given in this article http://articles.slicehost.com/2008/12/17/ubuntu-intrepid-apache-virtual-hosts-1 |
| 10:17 | <Sudar> | to setup virtual hosts.. |
| 10:18 | <Sudar> | I want to rotate the files on a daily basics and automatically compress and store them.. |
| 10:18 | <Alucard> | still logrotate, but if you followed that then it won't do it automatically |
| 10:19 | <Alucard> | you can make it tho |
| 10:19 | <Sudar> | so basically I have to make apache pipe the log file to logrotate right? |

| 13:22 | <Eudoxus> | Is the hostname something that the public can see? |
| 13:22 | * | mwalling morans |
| 13:22 | <tjfontaine> | Eudoxus: did you read that *entire* webpage? |
| 13:23 | <Eudoxus> | tjfontaine: not yet no. one sec :) |

| 13:24 | <HoopyCat> | the hostname is generally considered to be freely-available information and many many services will use it as an identification |
| 13:24 | <tjfontaine> | 'public' is a relative term |
| 13:24 | <HoopyCat> | praetorian: i am somewhat ashamed to admit how many times i've twittered during fire alarms |
| 13:25 | <tjfontaine> | but if you mean people and services outside of your server in general, the name will need to be defined in DNS |
| 13:25 | <tjfontaine> | second line of that webpage: "A system's hostname usually has a corresponding entry in the domain name system (DNS), but it doesn't necessarily have to. " |
| 13:25 | <tjfontaine> | s/line/sentence/ |
| 13:28 | <Eudoxus> | by default I got this li-****.members.linode.com |
| 13:28 | <Eudoxus> | is there a reason for me to change that? |
| 13:28 | <Eudoxus> | and can I change the ".members.linode.com" part at all? |
| 13:28 | <HoopyCat> | also, "mail" is a particularly poor hostname for a machine, especially if there's other services on the machine and/or the possibility of additional machines handling mail in the future. pick a suitable and useful scheme for identifying machines across your sphere of influence and life will be good |
| 13:28 | <HoopyCat> | 220 framboise.hoopycat.com ESMTP Postfix cause I speak of the pompatus of love |
| 13:28 | <tjfontaine> | oooh weet, ooooh |
| 13:28 | <HoopyCat> | ^--- works just fine ;-) |
| 13:29 | <tjfontaine> | AHHH I'll have to listen to that now |
| 13:30 | <Eudoxus> | HoopyCat: you just set "hoopycat.com" part in the /etc/hosts? Does that automatically work fine given that I have my registrar mapped the domain to linode's nameservers? |
| 13:30 | <HoopyCat> | Eudoxus: you can leave it as is, or you can change it if you want. i generally do, because i like the PTR/hostname match and i hate numbers with a passion |
| 13:30 | <HoopyCat> | Eudoxus: well, i set the "framboise" part in /etc/hostname and i honestly can't remember where the hell it got the hoopycat.com |
| 13:30 | <tjfontaine> | /etc/hosts |
| 13:31 | <HoopyCat> | i did not change /etc/hosts at all |
| 13:31 | <tjfontaine> | orly |
| 13:31 | <tjfontaine> | /etc/resolv.conf mayhaps? |
| 13:31 | <@irgeek> | /etc/hosts gets 'x.x.x.x hostname.example.com hostname' where x.x.x.x is your real IP. |
| 13:32 | <HoopyCat> | i have /etc/mailname set to framboise.hoopycat.com, and /etc/resolv.conf has "search hoopycat.com", so i suppose it's one of the two. i suspect the latter, as far as hostname -f goes |
| 13:32 | <HoopyCat> | Technically: The FQDN is the name gethostbyname(2) returns for the host name returned by gethostname(2). The DNS domain name is the part after the first dot. |
| 13:32 | <HoopyCat> | ok, so it's probably doing that from the PTR |
| 13:33 | <HoopyCat> | or... both. |
| 13:33 | <@irgeek> | HoopyCat: If DNS breaks, so will sudo. |
| 13:33 | <HoopyCat> | irgeek: if DNS breaks, IP is probably broken too |
| 13:33 | <@irgeek> | sudo gets very unhappy when it can't resolve the FQDN |
| 13:33 | <Eudoxus> | I'm just wondering, let's say I change my "short" hostname to foobar. |
| 13:33 | <tjfontaine> | among other thigns |
| 13:33 | <Eudoxus> | Will foobar.members.linode.com start working? |
| 13:33 | <tjfontaine> | no |
| 13:34 | <mwalling> | no. |
| 13:34 | <HoopyCat> | Eudoxus: you have no control over members.linode.com, so no. |
| 13:34 | <Eudoxus> | Ah okay, so if I have my own domain, I must set the proper A records etc. to include "foobar" right? (the same place where "www" and "mail" records are) |
| 13:35 | <Eudoxus> | hmmmmm |
| 13:35 | <Eudoxus> | i'm too newbie |
| 13:35 | <HoopyCat> | i do agree that sudo (and everything else) will get hurrr stompa stompa angrrry if DNS breaks; i do, however, think i will run with the config as it is to see what happens, in the name of science |
| 13:35 | <HoopyCat> | Eudoxus: yup |
| 13:35 | <tjfontaine> | SCIENCE |
| 13:36 | <mwalling> | she blinded me with SCIENCE |
| 13:36 | <Alucard> | i will do science to it |
| 13:36 | <tjfontaine> | thank science |
| 13:37 | * | Eudoxus thinks all this is weird because it assumes you have one particular "main" domain. |
| 13:37 | <Eudoxus> | I use my node for many domains, and use apache to manage them |
| 13:37 | <Eudoxus> | do different "public_html" folders |
| 13:37 | <Eudoxus> | why assign a special domain name to one's machine? |
| 13:37 | <tjfontaine> | your system must identify itself as a unique system though |
| 13:38 | <HoopyCat> | Eudoxus: as an organization, you probably have a domain name |
| 13:39 | <Eudoxus> | HoopyCat: I suppose.... But shouldn't that domain name be used for the organization's website, instead of being an identifier for the machine itself? |
| 13:39 | <HoopyCat> | i do break from this a little bit in the name of vanity, and i should probably standardize on my "organization" domain name instead of my IRC domain name, but... well, eventually. at least i'm using it for point-to-point network links ;-) |
| 13:39 | <tjfontaine> | Eudoxus: your friends probably have many names for you, but when you introduce yourself you only call yourself by your real name |
| 13:39 | <Eudoxus> | One would think that, assuming that "hoopycat.com" is your main website, that "framboise.hoopycat.com" should also be a website. |
| 13:39 | <tjfontaine> | DNS is more than just for websites |
| 13:40 | <mwalling> | tjfontaine: lies |
| 13:40 | <mwalling> | tjfontaine: there is only 1 thing in the world |
| 13:40 | <mwalling> | and thats teh intarwebz |
| 13:40 | -!- | r3z [~r3z@r3zurector.net] has joined #linode |
| 13:41 | <tjfontaine> | a DNS name is merely a mapping of a name to an IP address |
| 13:41 | <HoopyCat> | Eudoxus: http://www.hoopycat.com/ and http://hoopycat.com/ work just fine; those are currently handled by the machine that calls itself "framboise", yes, but a couple months back they were on a machine called "bluemoon". same with the different http://blog.hoopycat.com/ and the unrelated http://picardfacepalm.com/ . i'm not entirely sure where http://framboise.hoopycat.com/ goes right now, but i'll check |
| 13:41 | * | HoopyCat braces for impact of url checker scripts |
| 13:41 | <Eudoxus> | heh |
| 13:41 | <tjfontaine> | there can be many CNAME/A's pointing to one IP, but there can only be one reverse PTR for an IP |
| 13:41 | <HoopyCat> | ok, it goes to the default page :-) |
| 13:42 | <Eudoxus> | tjfontaine: ah ok. and whether or not we use apache to serve websites is actually an unrelated thing? |
| 13:42 | <tjfontaine> | the same logic is applied to your machine |
| 13:42 | <Eudoxus> | i.e. not too relevant? |
| 13:42 | <tjfontaine> | Eudoxus: yes, completely secondary |
| 13:43 | <Eudoxus> | Ok i see. But tell me then. Why do I need a hostname? Why can't I identify my machine only using mydomain.com instead of the longer something.mydomain.com (where "something" is the short hostname) |
| 13:43 | <tjfontaine> | because you don't operate the TLD |
| 13:43 | <tjfontaine> | tis about delegation |
| 13:44 | <tjfontaine> | (you could, but you shouldn't do that) |
| 13:44 | <mwalling> | Eudoxus: in the old days, your website was www.*example.com* (i doubt you own mydomain.com). but people are lazy and demanded that they not have to type www |
| 13:44 | <mwalling> | because the internet is internet explorer |
| 13:44 | <mwalling> | there is no other internet |
| 13:44 | <HoopyCat> | Eudoxus: you could certainly call your machine mydomain.com, but it's not a good idea (but i violate this one too, in one case); what're you going to call the second machine? :-) |
| 13:44 | <Eudoxus> | heh, good point |
| 13:45 | <tjfontaine> | your system generally only uses this name when identifying itself for email |
| 13:45 | <HoopyCat> | i've got two linodes, two desktop machines, a server, a laptop, two routers, two point-to-point links, a couple IP telephones, a tivo, and... i think there's some other stuff out there |
| 13:45 | <tjfontaine> | (aside from internal uses) |
| 13:45 | <tjfontaine> | so when you're sending emails, your |
| 13:45 | <tjfontaine> | MTA will say you're Eudoxus.example.com, and then the remote mta will check to make sure you are who say you are |
| 13:46 | <Eudoxus> | interesting |
| 13:46 | <HoopyCat> | they all live within one domain, so between them, i can just refer to "hennepin" or "tivo"; when i need to refer to them outside the "family", i can refer to them like "hennepin.hoopycat.com" |
| 13:47 | <Eudoxus> | this is starting to sink in |
| 13:47 | <Eudoxus> | what books have you guys read on this subject? |
| 13:48 | <tjfontaine> | man |
| 13:48 | <tjfontaine> | :) |
| 13:48 | <Eudoxus> | heh! |
| 13:48 | <Eudoxus> | in my experience books tend to be better intro then dry manuals |
| 13:48 | <tjfontaine> | I learned through experience mostly |
| 13:48 | <Eudoxus> | i c |
| 13:48 | <tjfontaine> | a few secondary tutorials back in the day |
| 13:48 | <tjfontaine> | you should probably able to find tldp.org useful |
| 13:49 | <Eudoxus> | thanks |
| 13:49 | <HoopyCat> | Eudoxus: a lot of RFCs, a lot of stupid questions, and having the privledge of essentially being an "apprentice" at various times |
| 13:50 | <mwalling> | i break shit |
| 13:50 | <Eudoxus> | :) |
| 13:50 | <HoopyCat> | seeing how other people do things, finding out why they do it that way, and seeing the benefits and problems it creates == priceless |
| 13:52 | <Eudoxus> | yeah |
| 13:52 | * | Eudoxus just made an A/AAAA record for his domain. Is naming it the original name of "alpha" |
| 13:53 | <Eudoxus> | s/domain/hostname |
| 13:53 | <@irgeek> | Eudoxus: Once the A record propagates you can set the reverse DNS on the Network tab. |
| 13:53 | <HoopyCat> | http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1178 <--- there's a standard for it too |
| 13:54 | <mwalling> | the LPM shouldnt catch nxdomains |
| 13:54 | <HoopyCat> | i do think "alpha" meets the requirements |
| 13:54 | <@irgeek> | It just says it couldn't find a match. |
| 13:55 | <Eudoxus> | HoopyCat: yeah it's just letters :) |

| 14:14 | <tsp> | I'm pretty sure that if 3 out of 4 ram modules work, and the last one starts doing weird things like looping the login sound or having the box turn off 5 seconds after it turns on, that that module is bad |
| 14:17 | <HoopyCat> | tsp: i've been known to isolate it down to a specific range of addresses and then cut those out on the kernel command line. why waste a whole stick? ;-) however, memory has become less expensive in recent years... |

| 15:09 | <Eudoxus> | Hmm, is an A/AAAA Record not enough to set up a reverse DNS? |
| 15:09 | <Eudoxus> | is CNAME required too? |
| 15:09 | <@caker> | negative |
| 15:09 | <HoopyCat> | Eudoxus: an A record will suffice, plus the PTR in the "other" direction |
| 15:10 | <Eudoxus> | ok i guess it hasn't propagated yet |
| 15:10 | <Eudoxus> | i will wait |
| 15:10 | <Eudoxus> | :) |
| 15:10 | <bd_> | note: you can't technically have a CNAME and an A record on the same name |
| 15:11 | <HoopyCat> | Eudoxus: the timescales involved in reverse DNS configuration aren't quite geologic, but it can feel like it. what's happening when you try? |
| 15:12 | <Eudoxus> | when I try to set up the reverse DNS? it just says it cannot be found :) |

| 15:14 | <bd_> | Eudoxus: probably flushed the cache :) |
| 15:14 | <mwalling> | irgeek: i thought you said the lpm doesnt cache? |
| 15:14 | <@caker> | flushed the .. yup |
| 15:14 | <@irgeek> | mwalling: I didn't say that... |

| 15:15 | <HoopyCat> | mwalling: it DOES catch nxdomains, by saying it couldn't find a match |
| 15:15 | <Eudoxus> | do admins dig into our nodes at will? how secure is our stuff really? |
| 15:15 | <bd_> | caker: perhaps the RDNS stuff should do the recursion itself ala dig +trace, to completely avoid caching issues? :) |
| 15:16 | <@irgeek> | Eudoxus: No |
| 15:16 | <mwalling> | Eudoxus: the staff going into the website and flushing the website's dns cache means they go into your linode? |
| 15:16 | <@irgeek> | The DNS resovler for the rDNS stuff isn't on your node. |
| 15:16 | <Eudoxus> | heh ok |
| 15:16 | <@irgeek> | bd_: DDoSable |
| 15:16 | <bd_> | irgeek: oh? |
| 15:16 | <mwalling> | irgeek: then add rate limiting into the lpm |
| 15:17 | <bd_> | irgeek: a single customer account has no reason to issue more than one at once |
| 15:17 | <mwalling> | and how would you ddos from the lpm? |
| 15:17 | <@irgeek> | Has no reason != won't |

| 15:18 | <mwalling> | so? better results too |
| 15:18 | <SelfishMan> | caker: You can't use the LPM to launch nukes. It's against the Java EULA |
| 15:18 | <HoopyCat> | Eudoxus: in general, linode staff won't touch your stuff. once in awhile they'll watch the console with your consent, or look at the console/console log to assist with a trouble ticket, but generally speaking they've got about as much willingness to futz with your junk as a prudent landlord |
| 15:18 | <bd_> | besides, this is already possible then - you can create your own domain, have it do a RDNS query against a.b.c.d.e.f.g.h.yourdomain.com and bounce it across eight servers. Then repeat for some other unique prefixes |
| 15:18 | <bd_> | Equal potential for abuse, if abuse is the goal |
| 15:18 | <mwalling> | HoopyCat: they throw rocks at you? |
| 15:19 | <HoopyCat> | mwalling: your landlord != prudent |

| 15:19 | <mwalling> | HoopyCat: its worn off, and so? |
| 15:19 | <@irgeek> | Eudoxus: There are a lot of Linodes and we've got more important things to do than poke around inside them. |
| 15:19 | <HoopyCat> | mwalling: just making sure ;-) |
| 15:19 | <bd_> | For extra fun, have the nameservers for h.yourdomain.com and etc wait a few seconds before responding :) |
| 15:19 | <Eudoxus> | good point :D |
| 15:19 | <mwalling> | HoopyCat: what i said is already in a police report :) |
| 15:20 | <Eudoxus> | don't tell me you wouldn't poke if you had Microsoft suddenly hosting their Windows source code repos on a node |
| 15:20 | <Eudoxus> | :) |
| 15:20 | <@irgeek> | How would we know they did that? |
| 15:21 | <Eudoxus> | rumours on the internets :) |
| 15:21 | <Eudoxus> | anyway |
| 15:21 | <bd_> | because rumors are a great reason to expose yourself to liability :) |
| 15:21 | <HoopyCat> | linode has absolutely no idea that i store many GB of lesbian elevator control system bondage porn on my linode |
| 15:22 | <@caker> | HoopyCat: interested in beta testing the backup service? |
| 15:22 | <SelfishMan> | HoopyCat: I thought you only hosted furry porn?!? Or is that all you seed for torrents? |
| 15:22 | <bd_> | caker: Does that mean it's coming online again soon? :) |
| 15:22 | <@caker> | heh .. it is in dallas |
| 15:23 | <@caker> | the others are being prepped |

| 15:23 | * | SelfishMan raises hand for dallas |
| 15:23 | <@caker> | SelfishMan: ticket. |
| 15:23 | <bd_> | hmm, let me inform someone I know in dallas then :) |
| 15:24 | <HoopyCat> | caker: if it involves "scp -R /home/rtucker/porn pparadis@staff.linode.com:/home/pparadis/.tmp/zomg" i already have that running per the instructions i received |
| 15:24 | <SelfishMan> | I have 5GB that changes every day only during the backup hours |
| 15:24 | <SelfishMan> | I would be curious how it handles that |
| 15:24 | <bd_> | caker: it works on UML nodes, right? |
| 15:24 | <@caker> | it should<tm> |
| 15:24 | <HoopyCat> | SelfishMan: you might want to change the backup hours |
| 15:24 | <SelfishMan> | HoopyCat: Hell no, best time for backups. I want to break it though |
| 15:24 | <HoopyCat> | SelfishMan: snrrk |
| 15:25 | <@irgeek> | Wouldn't the best time be *after* the data is finished changing? |
| 15:25 | <HoopyCat> | SelfishMan: should be pretty good, though; it snapshots n' stuff |
| 15:25 | <bd_> | SelfishMan: IIRC, if the LVM snapshot's capacity is exceeded, it'll back off and retry a bit later |
| 15:25 | <SelfishMan> | irgeek: No because the data only exists for those few hours and doesn't really exist anyway |
| 15:26 | <@irgeek> | Whoa. It's like, quantum data. |
| 15:26 | <SelfishMan> | It's TLD zone files being downloaded and then bounced to another server for actual processing |
| 15:26 | <SelfishMan> | irgeek: I prefer to think of them as "Schroedinger's zones" |

| 22:45 | <chuck> | they probably secured it, too |
| 22:45 | <megatron27> | know of a cheap and decent provider? |
| 22:46 | <chuck> | Google Apps? |
| 22:46 | <HoopyCat> | VolVE: well, you can recursively copy stuff via scp and then tar it up. not 100% sure about doing the tar first, though. something tells me *something* i've used does it, but it might've been an old-school FTP server |
| 22:46 | <VolVE> | megatron27: I use Google Apps for Domains... for free |
| 22:46 | <erikh> | use kismet |
| 22:46 | <megatron27> | okay cool, I'll try that first |
| 22:46 | <VolVE> | megatron27: oh and it works great :) |

| 22:48 | <Karrde> | LordLandon: I'm using wicd now, seems ok so far. |
| 22:48 | <VolVE> | erikh: but wouldn't that put mytarfile.tar.gz on the remote system, as opposed to pulling it down to the requesting server? |
| 22:48 | <Karrde> | why'd they have to break my gui hurr stompa stompa |
| 22:48 | <chuck> | still on the free version I think it's 12GB or something |
| 22:48 | <erikh> | VolVE: no, the stdout will get redirected to your machine, which then puts it in a file locally. |
| 22:49 | <VolVE> | erikh: how fascinating, thank you :) |
| 22:49 | <erikh> | yep |
| 22:49 | <chuck> | nevermind, it's only 2.75GB ;-) |
| 22:49 | <erikh> | VolVE: you can do lots of neat redirection things with ssh |
| 22:50 | <VolVE> | erikh: I am a big fan of general redirection, but clearly this is my first experience with multiple machine usages :) |

| 22:54 | <erikh> | yeah, it's really nice when you run out of disk and have to back up things in a jiffy |
| 22:55 | <chuck> | I should probably modify my backup scripts to work like that, it would probably save a little bandwidth |

| 22:57 | <VolVE> | erikh: a thought; if I use your command for instance, but I want to nice it, would I put 'nice' in front of 'tar' only, or does the 'gzip' pipe target need a 'nice' too... ? |
| 22:57 | <VolVE> | (I'm overthinking thisI can tell) |
| 22:57 | <erikh> | probably both |
| 22:57 | <erikh> | since they'll have distinct pids |
| 22:57 | <erikh> | BUT |
| 22:57 | <VolVE> | gotcha |
| 22:57 | <erikh> | the gzip is probably the CPU eater |
| 22:57 | <erikh> | so you can probably get away with just that. |
| 22:58 | <VolVE> | rightyo |
| 22:58 | <chuck> | What does nice do? |
| 22:58 | <VolVE> | thanks! |
| 22:58 | <erikh> | chuck: adjust scheduling priority |

| 22:58 | <erikh> | think of it as askign the process to 'play nice' instead of gobbling up all the CPU |
| 22:59 | <VolVE> | essentially makes it a lower priority so it doesn't steal resources from the server's regular purpouse |
| 22:59 | <chuck> | ah |
| 22:59 | <chuck> | erikh: do you know if it's possible to create an archive with tar from standard input? |
| 22:59 | <chuck> | like, mysqldump shared_data | tar -magicoptionshere |
| 22:59 | <erikh> | you mean a file list? |
| 22:59 | <erikh> | oh, you just want to gzip there |
| 22:59 | <erikh> | mysqldump -u root database | gzip -9c |
| 22:59 | <erikh> | mysqldump -u root database | gzip -9c >myfile.gz |
| 23:00 | <chuck> | oh, I see |
| 23:00 | <erikh> | since it's only a single file |

| 23:01 | <chuck> | what would be a good nice value to use for that? |
| 23:03 | <erikh> | 10 |
| 23:03 | <erikh> | sorry, my time to shine during our system maintenance just came up, i'll be nonresponsive for a while |
| 23:03 | <VolVE> | I never bother specifying values for nice |
| 23:03 | <VolVE> | good luck erikh, don't trip the breaker! |
| 23:03 | <erikh> | 10 is the default |
| 23:03 | <erikh> | heh. |

| 23:31 | <branodn> | hi all |
| 23:31 | <@caker> | o/ |
| 23:31 | <branodn> | is anyone else getting kicked off of their ssh connection? |
| 23:32 | <branodn> | i get anywhere between a few seconds do a minute before i get kicked off |
| 23:32 | <branodn> | i was on all day until recently |
| 23:32 | <mwalling> | logs? network problems? keep alives? |
| 23:32 | <branodn> | i just wasn''t sure if there was someone who hacked into my system and kept kicking me off or what |
| 23:32 | <@caker> | branodn: if it was you that opened a ticket -- I looked at your console log -- there's a suspicious "NetworkManager" process spitting out messages |
| 23:32 | <branodn> | i was up all day until recently |
| 23:33 | <branodn> | ok |
| 23:33 | <HoopyCat> | in less than one half hour, i will deploy zero-day buffer overflow exploit on all the clocks on the east coast! and then it will be SUMMER. but first i sleep |
| 23:33 | <mwalling> | HoopyCat: does that mean the senate will finish session? |
| 23:33 | <@caker> | !lish |
| 23:33 | <linbot> | LISH allows you to perform certain actions without having to log into the LPM. Lish's primary function is to allow you access to your server's console, even if networking is disabled. http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Lish_Documentation |
| 23:34 | <@caker> | branodn: --^ |
| 23:34 | <@caker> | also, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManager |
| 23:34 | <@caker> | (kill) |
| 23:35 | <branodn> | ok so network manager is the culprit? |
| 23:35 | <@caker> | I have no idea, but it certainly looks suspect to me |
| 23:35 | <@caker> | why run a network manager on a VPS anyhow? |

| 23:56 | <derek03852> | hey i'm pretty new to linux if anyone can help me out |
| 23:56 | <bd_> | !ask |
| 23:56 | <linbot> | Don't ask to ask; just ASK |
| 23:56 | <bd_> | also I think you pasted your password into the channel earlier |
| 23:56 | <bd_> | might want to change that |
| 23:56 | <derek03852> | i've set up ubuntu and logged in using ssh and installed apache, php |
| 23:56 | <derek03852> | no i was just typing shit to see if it worked, but thanks |
| 23:57 | <derek03852> | anyway, i'm trying to add a php file onto the server just to see if i have apache and php set up right |
| 23:57 | <derek03852> | but i can't figure out how to access the directory structure using ssh |
| 23:58 | <mmlj4> | ssh hostname |
| 23:58 | <derek03852> | and i know u could use ftp but i dont know how you would move the file to the right place from there |
| 23:58 | <bd_> | what are you using on your own computer? |
| 23:58 | <derek03852> | macosx |
| 23:58 | <mmlj4> | but you're trying to upload a file? |
| 23:58 | <bd_> | hmm |
| 23:58 | <derek03852> | yeah or just create it remotely |
| 23:58 | <mmlj4> | scp file hostname:/path/ |
| 23:58 | <bd_> | ^ from the console, yeah |
| 23:58 | <bd_> | There's probably some shiny GUI thing but I don't use osx so I don't know |
| 23:58 | <bd_> | or sshfs |

| 23:59 | <derek03852> | like var/www/ |
