| 00:00 | <Boohemian> | are there any high end laptops with IPS 15-17 screen (i want a screen resolution >= 1920x1200). i want to replace my mbp with a laptop with better hardware |
| 00:00 | <bob2> | mbp |
| 00:01 | <amitz> | Motherly Big PC |
| 00:02 | <amitz> | Boohemian: do you like to upgrade or add features? |
| 00:03 | <encode> | MacBook Pro |
| 00:03 | <encode> | o0h, it doesn't have an IPS screen |
| 00:03 | <czr> | does it have IPS? |
| 00:03 | <czr> | indeed. |
| 00:03 | <encode> | in fact, Idon't know of any laptops that have one |
| 00:04 | <czr> | I haven't seen any |
| 00:04 | <czr> | the market segment is niche at best |
| 00:04 | <czr> | too niche probably for anyone to bother |
| 00:04 | <amitz> | oh for mbp. IPS? |
| 00:05 | <czr> | amitz, a type of LCD-TFT (in-place switching) |
| 00:05 | <czr> | superior picture quality |
| 00:05 | <czr> | uses more energy though |
| 00:05 | <amitz> | ooh...hmm... |
| 00:06 | <czr> | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD |
| 00:07 | <czr> | Boohemian, seems that some higher end lenovo models have S-IPS |
| 00:07 | <amitz> | yeah, reading that :-p |
| 00:08 | <Boohemian> | amitz: not really, why? figured with new SSDs coming out, it's a good idea |
| 00:08 | <czr> | Boohemian, also, hp's elitebook 8740w seems to have one |
| 00:08 | <czr> | dig around. |
| 00:08 | <amitz> | just realized, e-ink must looks really good for ssh-ing... |
| 00:08 | <czr> | they're being re-introduced it seems |
| 00:08 | <czr> | amitz, not the best use of eink though :-) |
| 00:09 | <amitz> | Boohemian: well, I'm looking forward to USB 3. It will be tough to use USB 3 in your notebook if it doesn't support it originally. |
| 00:09 | -!- | auraka [ross@cloud.skafari.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] |
| 00:09 | <czr> | Boohemian, the IPS seems to cost ~700USD extra though |
| 00:10 | <czr> | the base price is around ~2500USD for the laptop |
| 00:10 | <amitz> | czr: you mean a waste of e-ink, but it still looks really good :-). With the correct font, it will be like the parchments in harry potter movie. :-p |
| 00:10 | <amitz> | or the newspapers. |
| 00:10 | <czr> | amitz, ah, you're using it? |
| 00:11 | <czr> | I mean it's using more electricity than would be sane |
| 00:11 | <amitz> | oh no. Just wishing :-p |
| 00:11 | <czr> | since it needs to refresh the screen much more often compared to regular use |
| 00:11 | <amitz> | czr: well, perhaps they can use a physically scrolling e-ink! :-D |
| 00:11 | <czr> | it is physically scrolling. in a way.. |
| 00:11 | <Boohemian> | czr: the T line? last time i checked, they didn't have IPS |
| 00:12 | <amitz> | I mean, physically scrolling the lcd. |
| 00:12 | <czr> | Boohemian, yeah, it was some obsolete model. IPSes disappeared from laptops. getting re-introduced now |
| 00:12 | <amitz> | assuming it's physically possible... |
| 00:12 | <czr> | Boohemian, but the price was for the elitebook |
| 00:12 | <Boohemian> | the reason i want to get rid of my MBP is i think the computer is way overpriced and would like to get about $500 back and have better hardware |
| 00:12 | <amitz> | to reduce the number of refresh, basically. |
| 00:13 | <Boohemian> | amitz: isn't USB-3 out? |
| 00:13 | <czr> | amitz, oh, that's not the worst bit. the worst bit is updating the chars as you type. |
| 00:13 | <Boohemian> | czr: re price, urgh |
| 00:13 | <czr> | Boohemian, what did you expect? |
| 00:13 | <czr> | as said, IPS is niche on laptops |
| 00:13 | -!- | fabzor3 [~fabzor3@121.209.80.182] has joined #linode |
| 00:13 | <amitz> | Boohemian: it's out. But I tought it's still really rare? |
| 00:13 | <Boohemian> | czr: why did it go away? i read that computer screens suck because they focus on TVs that have higher profit margins? |
| 00:14 | <czr> | it's rare because intel wants royalties for it. it's not an industry standard. |
| 00:14 | <amitz> | czr: well, hmm... perhaps the last line can be displayed with the usual type of lcd... |
| 00:14 | <Boohemian> | czr: well, the ibm thinkpad T series is ~1200 USD right now |
| 00:14 | <czr> | Boohemian, because people wanted cheaper laptops, that's why |
| 00:14 | <Boohemian> | not sure how their default screen is though... |
| 00:14 | <amitz> | I'm visioning the perfect device for irssi-ing. |
| 00:14 | <czr> | Boohemian, almost all laptops use variants of TN |
| 00:14 | <czr> | which is your basic garden variety screen |
| 00:14 | <fabzor3> | iphones are okay with a bluetooth keyboard |
| 00:14 | <czr> | some have coatings, others dont |
| 00:14 | <Boohemian> | and i don't like that the battery sticks out from the back, but i guess it really doesn't matter (so long as i have an SSD and it's pockets me 1k) |
| 00:15 | <amitz> | Boohemian: basically, makes sure you get a notebook with USB-3. |
| 00:15 | <Boohemian> | my 17 MBP is being sold on craigslist for 2150 USD right now... |
| 00:15 | <czr> | Boohemian, why do you want IPS btw? |
| 00:15 | <fabzor3> | oh yeah and gigabit |
| 00:15 | <straterra> | I just bought a 1920x1200 LCD panel for my laptop |
| 00:15 | -!- | Knight [~user@snubby.user.oftc.net] has joined #linode |
| 00:16 | <Boohemian> | amitz: how much faster is usb3 in real world environments? e.g. if i want to transfer over say 100gb of files to an external drive, how much faster is it than over USB2? |
| 00:16 | <straterra> | Depends on the speed of the drive |
| 00:16 | <straterra> | Single drive..you might notice it |
| 00:16 | -!- | Duke [~user@snubby.user.oftc.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] |
| 00:16 | <straterra> | External RAID enclosure? You'll notice it |
| 00:16 | <Boohemian> | czr: yeah but aren't some screens better than others? i think the MBP screens are extremely beautiful... |
| 00:16 | <straterra> | I'd rather just use eSATA..but meh |
| 00:17 | <straterra> | And..you know Apple got sued over the fake advertisement of their LCD panels right? |
| 00:17 | <czr> | Boohemian, sure, there are some differences. but not like ISP versus TN. |
| 00:17 | <straterra> | They didn't meet the stated color profile |
| 00:17 | <amitz> | Boohemian: combined with SSD, USB-3 is gonna be awesome! |
| 00:17 | <czr> | Boohemian, also, what you might refer as beautiful might be just coating that you like. |
| 00:17 | <amitz> | external SSD connected to USB-3 |
| 00:17 | <czr> | so it's difficult to say objectively what is "best", unless you do professional graphics and have proper color calibration stuff so that we can speak about broader gamuts and such |
| 00:17 | <straterra> | Uhm..dont do that |
| 00:18 | <amitz> | straterra: why? |
| 00:18 | <Boohemian> | czr: i didn't realize the price increase was so large, so i won't consider it now... but something that matters to me is a high resolution display. i have 1920x1200 now (17"), i'm okay with slightly lower res (in a 14 or 16 screen), but if there are any 17 laptops, i'd want at least 1920x1200 (not sure if there's anything higher on laptop screens) |
| 00:18 | <straterra> | External SSD + USB 3 == No TRIM |
| 00:18 | <amitz> | TRIM? |
| 00:18 | <straterra> | yes |
| 00:18 | <czr> | Boohemian, again, niche market |
| 00:18 | <mbreslin> | trim != important |
| 00:18 | <czr> | the high res laptop screens came and went around 2003-2005 |
| 00:18 | <vraa> | http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/storage/2010/02/04/windows-7-ssd-performance-and-trim/1 |
| 00:18 | <Boohemian> | czr: i LOVE the screen res of the 1920x1200 MBP screen... and the screen, imo, is beautiful... so as long as the thinkpad's have as nice a screen as my MBP, i'm happy |
| 00:18 | <straterra> | TRIM is important |
| 00:18 | <Boohemian> | i didn't see any 17 thinkpads, though... :/ |
| 00:18 | <czr> | Boohemian, yes, but you're ignoring what I write. |
| 00:18 | <mbreslin> | any ssd you will by going forward will have good enough gc to do without trim |
| 00:19 | <vraa> | w700 is a 17" thinkpad, i have a t410s |

| 00:19 | <czr> | mbreslin, ssds don't do garbage collection |
| 00:19 | <mbreslin> | congratulations |
| 00:19 | <czr> | they do wear-levelling, which is a different thing |
| 00:19 | <mbreslin> | wrong. |
| 00:19 | <mbreslin> | they do both |
| 00:19 | <czr> | well, so try to parse the filesystem structures, but just for limited number of filesystems |
| 00:20 | <czr> | mostly just FAT |
| 00:20 | <straterra> | If they do garbage collection, you might wanna keep Ubuntu away from it |
| 00:20 | <bob2> | BOOMTISH |
| 00:20 | <mbreslin> | well some do, almost all ssds do some sort of wear leveling, many drives have internal gc |
| 00:20 | <amitz> | straterra: I'm under the impression that TRIM can one day be supported with USB-3? |
| 00:20 | <czr> | mbreslin, please explain how the FTL controllers implement gc for extN. |
| 00:20 | <straterra> | amitz: With a supported controller, maybe |
| 00:21 | <czr> | most of the smaller FTL controllers have crappy amount of memory too. too little to do anything sane. |
| 00:21 | <czr> | not even enough RAM to hold a full NAND block. |
| 00:21 | <Boohemian> | straterra: how much do multibay RAID enclosures cost? it seems that it would be a better value to just build a cheap i3 storage desktop (i have a case/psu to save about 50 bucks) |
| 00:21 | <mbreslin> | czr: the micron controllers in my 8 ssds do both, i'm not going to go look for the tech docs |
| 00:21 | <czr> | mbreslin, for ext? |
| 00:21 | <straterra> | Boohemian: The prebuilt ones cost more than they should..if you have a spare case, you could toss a shitton of drives in it and do the same thing |
| 00:22 | <czr> | mbreslin, what's the model of the SSD? |
| 00:22 | <mbreslin> | c300 |
| 00:22 | <straterra> | You could even share them over iscsi/nfs/fcoe/smb/etc |
| 00:22 | <mbreslin> | crucial c300 |
| 00:23 | <czr> | mbreslin, hmm. same as micron c300? |
| 00:23 | <amitz> | hardwarery talk, /me lurks |
| 00:23 | <czr> | mbreslin, what's the LBA count reported by blockdev? |
| 00:24 | <mbreslin> | czr: sorry the c300s have marvell, the new c400s have the micron |
| 00:24 | <czr> | haha |
| 00:24 | <czr> | yeah right, like marvell would ever pull off anything decent |
| 00:24 | <czr> | micron could. marvell, never. |
| 00:24 | <czr> | they're almost worse than bcm |
| 00:24 | <Boohemian> | vraa: how do you like your T410? |
| 00:25 | <vraa> | i *love* it |
| 00:25 | <Boohemian> | czr: what did i ignore? i was typing with one hand so was replying slowly |

| 00:26 | <Boohemian> | czr: but there are different qualities of TN screens, i'm sure... (all the rest) |
| 00:26 | <czr> | mbreslin, performance has nothing to do with the issue |
| 00:26 | <czr> | and my opinions are based on working quite closely with chips from all three in previous times |

| 00:27 | * | user6484 hey, my php script is giving me Severity: Warning |
| 00:27 | * | user6484 Message: mkdir(): Permission denied |
| 00:27 | <mbreslin> | of course it does, there is no trim in raid, i've written more data then you would believe, i built the array 1 year ago specifically for benchmarking, if there was no internal gc my drives would crawl by now |
| 00:27 | <czr> | you may obviously ignore all this and assume that marvell chips somehow miraculously understand in-flight ext3/4 data (not to mention journalling) and magically do gc on fs stuff. |
| 00:27 | <user6484> | my php script is giving me: Severity: Warning Message: mkdir(): Permission denied. Where do I configure this, from linux file system, from php.ini, apache?? where exactly? |
| 00:28 | <amitz> | Boohemian: oh yeah, I believe you were saying something and when I was about to reply you already left. Sorry I couldn't be there for you. Did the meet up with her family go well? |
| 00:28 | <czr> | mbreslin, maybe you mean with gc something other than I. |
| 00:28 | <mbreslin> | czr: do you understand "i've written more to each cell than wear leveling could ever keep up with" |
| 00:28 | <mbreslin> | the entire drive has received terabytes |
| 00:29 | <czr> | gc = automatically shuffling data around so that single blocks may be automatically erased in order to release them for new writes. based on knowing what is "in use" and "what is not". without fs-level data, you cannot know that. |
| 00:29 | -!- | fabzor3 [~fabzor3@121.209.80.182] has quit [Quit: Leaving] |
| 00:29 | <czr> | mbreslin, what is the writing pattern? |
| 00:29 | <czr> | if it's linear, then your test does not test gc. |
| 00:29 | <czr> | if it's buffered over the NAND block size, it does not test gc. |
| 00:30 | <Boohemian> | amitz: yes, surprisingly. they have been fine. i am being VERY cautious. it doesn't make sense. i had surgery a few days ago -- the pain meds are making me VERY loopy |
| 00:30 | <czr> | Boohemian, maybe not the best time to build a laptop wishlist? :-) |
| 00:30 | <mbreslin> | what is making it so i'm still able to write without first erasing the block hence leading to horribly slow performance over time |
| 00:30 | <czr> | mbreslin, can you answer the write pattern question? |
| 00:31 | <mbreslin> | i didn't write iometer? |
| 00:31 | <mbreslin> | it's 4k random read/write |
| 00:31 | <czr> | right. which iometer test? |
| 00:31 | <czr> | right. good. |
| 00:31 | <czr> | over block or fs? |
| 00:31 | <vraa> | lenovo.com/familyandfriends |
| 00:31 | <vraa> | that way you get a hefty discount and you can customize your laptop, that's what i did |
| 00:31 | <mbreslin> | 4k alligned |
| 00:31 | <mbreslin> | blocks |
| 00:31 | <vraa> | i paid about 1700$ for mine, it's got 2.53ghz core i5, 8gb ram, 160gb ssd, touchscreen, etc |
| 00:32 | <czr> | mbreslin, what's making it is that vms cache writes into large continous operations, and when the operations span a single NAND block, the block can be erased and properly reused again up to a point. |

| 00:33 | <amitz> | Boohemian: oh... you mean despite you being visibly cautious they welcome you with open arm? |
| 00:33 | <mbreslin> | between iometer and the other popular ssd benchmarks |
| 00:33 | <czr> | the worst case test (for wl) is writing single 512-byte sectors randomly and reading them back to validate. |
| 00:33 | <Boohemian> | czr: hehe, always a good time when you're high on dilaudid :P |
| 00:33 | <Boohemian> | amitz: i am being VERY cautious - i don't understand how they did such a 180 degree turn |
| 00:33 | <Boohemian> | they went from telling caroline i would kill her to being genuinely nice to me |
| 00:33 | <czr> | the worst case test for gc support is creating random count of random sized small files at different dir depths and then randomly removing them (in parallel with creating new ones). |
| 00:34 | <user6484> | what user does apache run under? |
| 00:34 | <czr> | also, it can be made worse by randomly) appending and overwriting parts of existing files. |
| 00:34 | <czr> | user6484, depends on distro. |
| 00:34 | <user6484> | ubuntu 10.4? |
| 00:34 | <czr> | www-data, www, something like that. |
| 00:34 | <czr> | user6484, ps aux | grep apache |

| 00:36 | <czr> | AFAIK iometer is not a reliability measurement tool |
| 00:36 | <mbreslin> | of what? |
| 00:36 | <amitz> | Boohemian: well, for me, what matter is how important is her family to her. If they're not important, just ignore her. But if they're important, I'll get into the core of the problem. *shrug* |
| 00:36 | <mbreslin> | iops? |
| 00:36 | <czr> | mbreslin, of wear |
| 00:37 | <czr> | or gc or whatever |
| 00:37 | <mbreslin> | you acknowledge it's accurate in reporting iops correct? |
| 00:37 | <czr> | I don't see why not, but that wasn't the issue. |
| 00:37 | <czr> | user6484, your apache is not running |
| 00:38 | <mbreslin> | if gc wasn't working i could not possibly get the same amount of iops as when the drives were new |

| 00:38 | <czr> | mbreslin, I see your nice pic, and raise it with http://koltsoff.com/pub/blockspeed-new/disk-ide-seagate-ST320414A-read.png |
| 00:38 | <user6484> | thanks, so now how do i give write access to the directory for www-data? |
| 00:38 | <czr> | mbreslin, did you disable the write cache for the test? |
| 00:38 | <czr> | and did iometer use directio? |
| 00:38 | <czr> | and set the kernel queue size to 1? |
| 00:39 | <mbreslin> | errrr all this fuss of yours is to do with linux? |
| 00:39 | <mbreslin> | futuremark apps don't run in linux |
| 00:39 | <czr> | yes. |
| 00:39 | <czr> | wasn't that obviously when I mentioned gc support for ext? |
| 00:40 | <czr> | obvious even. |
| 00:40 | <mbreslin> | i thought you knew the internal fs of the controller or something |
| 00:40 | <mbreslin> | sorry i have no idea about gc for ext |
| 00:40 | <czr> | heh :-) |
| 00:40 | * | czr hugs mbreslin |
| 00:40 | <mbreslin> | what is that graph? |
| 00:40 | <mbreslin> | sequential transfer or something? |
| 00:41 | <czr> | linear read speed in MB over the whole disk |
| 00:41 | <czr> | MiB/sec even |
| 00:41 | <czr> | left = start, right = logical end. |
| 00:41 | <mbreslin> | i see |
| 00:41 | <mbreslin> | i'll take my 10 orders of magnitude faster latency |
| 00:41 | <mbreslin> | for random read/writes |
| 00:41 | <czr> | well, the graphs don't show latency |
| 00:42 | <mbreslin> | they don't need to, the drives are mechanical |
| 00:42 | <mbreslin> | the arm only goes so fast ;p |
| 00:42 | <czr> | true. |
| 00:42 | <straterra> | LIES |
| 00:42 | <mbreslin> | does linux have some kind of native command queuing |
| 00:42 | <mbreslin> | i assume it does |
| 00:42 | <czr> | and for that drive the RAL for the whole logical area was around 13ms AFAIR |
| 00:42 | <straterra> | My arm breaks the sound barrier |
| 00:42 | <straterra> | mbreslin: It does if the drive/chipset support it |
| 00:43 | <mbreslin> | cool |
| 00:43 | <czr> | mbreslin, err, linux supports SCSI command queueing, and obviously SATA NCQ as well |
| 00:43 | <straterra> | ^^ |
| 00:43 | <czr> | mbreslin, sitting on top of that there are queue managers and i/o schedulers |
| 00:43 | <czr> | my ARM runs at 400MHz :-(. |
| 00:43 | <straterra> | loser |
| 00:43 | <straterra> | Overclock that shit |
| 00:44 | <czr> | I could. |
| 00:44 | <mbreslin> | i'm mostly a gamer and use linux for apache for django for small non-resource intensive things that haven't gotten me to learn about linux's full abilities |
| 00:44 | <czr> | it has sw programmable PLL. no locking or whatever. |

| 00:50 | <eyecool> | I'm trying to educate the masses... but VPS to them is hostgator or fK even godaddy has vps now |
| 00:51 | <czr> | eyecool, VM is technical. VPS is more of "what you can do with it". |
| 00:51 | <nick125> | Boohemian: I'm happy with my Thinkpad.. |
| 00:51 | <czr> | so comparing VM to VPS doesn't make sense. |
| 00:52 | <Boohemian> | nick125: which one do you have? |
| 00:52 | <eyecool> | czr: thx.. I'll go with VM's.. a term that hasn't been bastardized my marketing arms at puke hosts |
| 00:52 | <czr> | in venn, you'd have something like VPS( VM( xen (linode)))) |
| 00:52 | <czr> | eyecool, safer choice probably :-) |
| 00:53 | <nick125> | Boohemian: I have a W510, but that's a bit out of your price range. |

| 01:04 | <fulg0re> | hehe |
| 01:05 | <fulg0re> | so yeah, no devpts mounted |

| 01:05 | <bob2> | that'll do it |
| 01:06 | <@psandin> | fulg0re: Debian will automount /dev/pts, but only if /dev/ isn't mounted on devtmpfs |
| 01:07 | <@psandin> | you can wiggle the automount devtmpfs knob on your config profile and debian will take care of itself |
| 01:07 | <fulg0re> | ah. ok |
| 01:07 | <fulg0re> | very good. thank you sir |
| 01:07 | <Boohemian> | something that doesn't compile... i also don't want fedora |
| 01:07 | <@psandin> | or you can leave it mounting devtmpfs setting as it is and add an explict entry for /dev/pts |

| 01:07 | <bob2> | the commercial backing of debian with the excellent package management tools of fedora |
| 01:08 | <@psandin> | it'd be so nice if everybody could just pick on method of handling /dev/ and stick with it |
| 01:08 | <@psandin> | and I want a pony too |
| 01:08 | <fulg0re> | any reason i'd want dev automounting to devtmpfs? |
| 01:09 | <@psandin> | Some distributions (Ubuntu 9.10+, recent Fedora) require it |
| 01:09 | <@psandin> | Debian 6 may be in that group too, but we'll see after it's releaseed |

| 02:31 | <jameswilson> | is the myhostname, supposed to be fully qualified? (equal to hostname -f)? |
| 02:32 | <jameswilson> | because currently the fqh is linode1.example.com, |
| 02:33 | <bob2> | anyway, the problem is postini is refusing the destination address |
| 02:33 | <jameswilson> | i read that $mydomain default is to use$myhostname minus the first component |

| 02:51 | <jameswilson> | why didnt the mail get sent outside the webserver |
| 02:51 | <bob2> | presumably because your machine thinks it's domain is archimuse.com |
| 02:51 | <jameswilson> | those are logs for postfix on the webserver… that only hosts mail for subdomains |

| 03:08 | <icepup> | ok, but i was right to give it a passphrase? because it was optional when i ran the keygen |
| 03:08 | <bob2> | the remote machine never sees it |
| 03:08 | <bob2> | it is good to do so, but optional - if you don't, it just makes passwordless ssh one step easier |

| 03:18 | <bob2> | ls -ld ~/.ssh |
| 03:18 | <bob2> | that dir has to be unreadable by others, too |

| 03:21 | <bob2> | you can ssh to lish btw |
| 03:21 | <bob2> | the browser thing is just for super duper emergencies when you have no ssh client |
| 03:21 | <jtsage> | that error message at least implies that sshd didn't find a matching key in authorized_keys - either one wasn't sent for login, or the one sent didn't match anything |

| 03:30 | <jtsage> | bob2- ubuntu (at least recent) drops bad user logins and the pam crap there. like i said, sometime helpful, sometimes a whole lot of nothing - depends what is happening |
| 03:30 | <bob2> | but: make sure ~/.ssh is u=rwx,go=, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys is u=rw,go=, make sure contents of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on remote machine matches ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on local machine |
| 03:30 | <bob2> | jtsage: ah, sorry, didn't realise it had changed |
| 03:31 | <jtsage> | nor did I until i was troubleshooting something equally dumb. actually, that file gets a bit more verbose than need be, tends to grow fast |
| 03:33 | <icepup> | ok, auth.log has tons of crap in it. i feel like i'm way over my head by trying to disable password authentication and using keys. i know it shouldn't be this hard. i must have done something wrong along the way, i'm inclined to just toss this build, which i've no investment in, and spin up a new ubuntu image. |
| 03:33 | <icepup> | or maybe just live with password authentication |
| 03:33 | <bob2> | do the above |
| 03:33 | <bob2> | it is almsot certainly one of those things |
| 03:34 | <icepup> | ok, i'm not following you on what go= means. otherwise i have that file and directory permissioned as you've suggested. i will however go and verify the files match, i hadn't looked at that yet. |

| 03:38 | <icepup> | THe files match, although I notice that at the end of the file it has my user@host for my local machine. I guess that's supposed to be there, even though my local username doesn't match my remote one? |
| 03:38 | <bob2> | that's fine |
| 03:38 | <icepup> | no i'm osx snow leopard |

| 03:47 | <Marius> | aces1up, yo udon't protect against ddo |
| 03:47 | <icepup> | jtsage, hold up. what should my ssh command be to login? it shouldn't be my username on the remote? |
| 03:47 | <bob2> | I mean, you can firewall it locally, but you're still getting smashed |
| 03:47 | <icepup> | it should be the user@host ? |
| 03:47 | <Marius> | You take it like a man |
| 03:47 | <bob2> | linode will nullroute your ip if you like |
| 03:47 | <bob2> | then kick you out if it happens a lot ;) |
| 03:47 | <Marius> | What are yo usetting up, considering you expect DDoS? |
| 03:48 | <jtsage> | icepup- it's a shortcut. for instance, from home, I connect to my linode using something more of less like : 'ssh myname@some.linode.server.com' |
| 03:48 | <aces1up> | nothing, i think that why my other server crashed but can't be certain. i'm just setting up a web site. |
| 03:48 | <aces1up> | i was using a crappy vps though only 64mb.. so that could be it too. |
| 03:48 | <jtsage> | and yes, 'myname' is the remote user. ssh dosen't particualarly care what the local username is |
| 03:50 | <icepup> | jtsage, i see. ok, well it spit out some semi interesting stuff |

| 03:53 | <amitz> | Marius: perhaps greater power at work. |
| 03:53 | <Marius> | amitz, it was a pretty bad hit as well the 1st time |
| 03:54 | <icepup> | jtsage: what i posted was the last lines of the output, everything prior to that was fine, and unrelated |
| 03:54 | <jtsage> | icepup- ok, so, it is reading (on your local machine) ~/.ssh/identity, ~/.ssh/id_rsa, and ~/.ssh/id_dsa. but it isn't finding the corresponding .pub on the server. |
| 03:55 | <icepup> | jtsage, hmm, you mean it's not offering the local ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub is it? |
| 03:55 | <icepup> | i have two local files, ~/.ssh/id_rsa, and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub |
| 03:55 | <jtsage> | often when i have this issue, it's nothing more than me managing to screw up the copy process - you could try emptying authorized_keys and refilling it with the .pub |
| 03:56 | <icepup> | isn't the problem though local? |
| 03:56 | <jtsage> | yes. the one without the .pub is the private key - the part your local machine uses. that 'matches' the public key that goes in the authorized_keys file on the server |
| 03:57 | <icepup> | so my local box is sending over what's in the .pub file |
| 03:58 | <jtsage> | of a sort, yes. iirc, it's actually sending an encrypted message, using the non .pub file, which the .pub file on the other side can decode |
| 04:03 | <jtsage> | icepup- i know you checked to make sure that the .pub file and the authorized_keys files matched - but did you make sure that it was all on one line in authorized_keys? no extra linebreak anywhere? that bit me once. |
| 04:04 | <icepup> | ok, i retried the two commands from the guide, the 2nd one is failing, it's interpreting the cat command to be local.. really not sure why that is. |
| 04:04 | <icepup> | jtsage, yeah that's why i want to recopy it over |
| 04:04 | <icepup> | but i'm not able to get these two commands to work, the first one does, the scp, but then the ssh echo cat... fails |
| 04:04 | <icepup> | can't i just run that from an existing ssh session on the remote? |
| 04:04 | <jtsage> | if you have an editor on the server (pico for instance), you can actually just copy and paste the contents |
| 04:05 | <praetorian> | ugh, pico. |
| 04:05 | <jtsage> | praetorian- aye, but i know it's in the default install of ubuntu. so is vim-tiny which is just a horrible, horrible bastardization |
| 04:06 | <praetorian> | it is? i thought they installed nano? |
| 04:06 | <jtsage> | is it? my bad maybe. been a while since i've set up a new box without immediatlly installing the full version of vim |
| 04:07 | <Marius> | Dont' diss pico =( |
| 04:07 | <Marius> | it was the first editor I ever used! |

| 04:08 | <icepup> | jtsage, wow. it worked this time, osx prompted me for my passphrase to use the local key |
| 04:09 | <jtsage> | excellent! |
| 04:09 | <icepup> | only thing i regret was saving it in my local keyring. guess i will have to google how to undo that on osx |
| 04:10 | <jtsage> | it's under the keyring manager (or something like that). point-n-click too iirc |
| 04:11 | <icepup> | jtsage and bob2, many thanks. and i just verified from my local linux VM instance that i was unable to ssh in, so it's working from both perspectives. |
| 04:11 | <icepup> | jtsage, thanks for the keyring info. i'll find it. |
| 04:12 | <jtsage> | coolio - glad it's working now |
| 04:13 | <praetorian> | if ubuntu has pico its probably a symlink |
| 04:13 | * | praetorian boots the ubuntu vm |
| 04:13 | <jtsage> | praetorian- right you are. header says nano indeed |
| 04:14 | <jtsage> | actually editors are the one thing that drove me crazy when i switched from freebsd to linux a few years back... i've always used vim for heavy stuff, but used to use 'ee' for the quick stuff. |
| 04:15 | <icepup> | jtsage, hmm, i deleted the keyring file, but still able to login. maybe i have to kill the terminal session or open a new one. Nope that didn't work either. Still logs in w/o prompting me for the passphrase |
| 04:15 | <praetorian> | i always used "jed" |
| 04:15 | <praetorian> | but now its vim |
| 04:16 | <jtsage> | icepup- it probably caches it in memory. if not, it is also possible that osx runs ssh-agent in the background, which would also cache it for a little while |
| 04:16 | <praetorian> | and of course, virtualbox needs to be upgraded. |
| 04:16 | <icepup> | jtsage, i see, good point. many thanks all. i'm sure i'll be back soon with more noobish questions, but i'll try to read up first :) |
| 04:17 | <jtsage> | hrm. they changed the behavior of screen under ubuntu again, didn't they? a detach did not used to log me out as well... that's sort of convienent until it's not |
| 04:18 | <praetorian> | that seems weird. |
| 04:18 | <jtsage> | it's not really screen anymore. it's ' |
| 04:19 | <jtsage> | er, it's 'byobu'... it reattaches on login too, which is *very* handy |
| 04:19 | <icepup> | jtsage, i use tmux, does the same i believe |
| 04:19 | <praetorian> | yeah, ive moved to tmux recently. |
| 04:19 | <icepup> | jtsage, unless you're talking about something entirely diff. |
| 04:20 | <praetorian> | https://launchpad.net/byobu |
| 04:20 | <jtsage> | what's this now? i don't know tmux at all. looks interesting |
| 04:20 | <praetorian> | seems to just be a fork of screen |
| 04:21 | <icepup> | i pretty much live in it, i never use the osx terminal tabs anymore. not sure how it's better to screen, as i'm new to it all, but it is so i'm told |
| 04:21 | <jtsage> | it's pretty. (at least the screenshots are) |

| 05:57 | <amitz> | dkam: my suggestion is to buy somewhere else first, then destroy the linode immediately. You will lost 1/31 of your money though. But you need to confirm this workaround with an op in this channel. |
| 05:57 | <czr> | which would suck ass in the long run. 20 java coders.. |

| 06:04 | <dkam> | Thank you heckman - I see the issue now. |
| 06:04 | <dkam> | 1024 |
| 06:04 | <czr> | amitz, heh |
| 06:05 | <@heckman> | dkam: if you want, set the Linode in Dallas (or wherever) and do not deploy or create disk images. |
| 06:05 | <@heckman> | Open a support ticket, and I'll see if I can a 1024 for you in Fremont in a few hours. |
| 06:05 | <dkam> | Ahh. |
| 06:05 | * | heckman needs to wait until a sysadmin comes in. |
| 06:05 | <dkam> | heckman: Ticket: 335287 |
| 06:06 | <@heckman> | Oh...that's you. |
| 06:06 | <@heckman> | Hah |
| 06:06 | <@heckman> | I've tagged myself on the ticket. Just sit your Linode in Dallas. |
| 06:06 | <@heckman> | I'll make sure ti get it taken care of as best I can for you. |
| 06:06 | <amitz> | heckman: so, the money eating won't start until the linode is deployed or a disk image is created? |
| 06:07 | <@heckman> | Technically ... he's allocated resources so it starts now. |
| 06:07 | <@heckman> | But the billing system invoices by the day, not per hour/minute. |
| 06:07 | <dkam> | heckman: I've just deleted the host - I'll get a 1536 host. |
| 06:07 | <encode> | you deleted the host? |
| 06:07 | <@heckman> | Ah, okay man. Sorry I couldn't offer you a solution right now. If you want to bump down in the future you can do so from the Linode manager. |
| 06:07 | * | czr reminds of the time when I deleted the internet |
| 06:07 | <@heckman> | :D |
| 06:07 | <@heckman> | Mind if I close the ticket dkam ? |
| 06:07 | <warren> | BOLD |
| 06:08 | <amitz> | ah, so at worst (s)he lost 1/31 of money then. Assuming (s)he doesn't get the linode today? |

| 06:08 | <@heckman> | Yeah |
| 06:08 | <dkam> | heckman: no - not at all. Thanks for your help. |
| 06:08 | <@heckman> | I got three hours last night. |
| 06:08 | <warren> | it seems you're always here. |
| 06:08 | <encode> | it's a requirement of linode staff that they not sleep |
| 06:09 | <amitz> | warren: no, the beard photosynthesis hence makes sleeping unnecessary. |

| 06:21 | <czr> | it's snowing as we speak |
| 06:21 | <@heckman> | It rained, then snowed, then rained a bit more |
| 06:21 | <@heckman> | So it's like a frozen mess |
| 06:21 | <czr> | it was quite springy couple of days back |
| 06:21 | <czr> | all happy faces and that. |
| 06:21 | <amitz> | snow? what snow? ;-) |
| 06:21 | <czr> | not any more.. sad, dark and all that crap. |
| 06:21 | <czr> | amitz, crystallized "water" molecules. |
| 06:22 | <czr> | well, mostly water anyway. |
| 06:22 | <amitz> | czr: is that a technical term, crystalizaed. Because I still don't know the difference between ice and snow... |

| 06:29 | <amitz> | well, for your lawn, etc. |
| 06:29 | <czr> | snow on the lawn isn't really a big issue. |
| 06:29 | <czr> | snow on driveways and roofs is. |
| 06:29 | <czr> | especially in larger cities, getting the snow out of the driveways generates tonns upon tonns of snow that needs to be heaved somewhere |
| 06:29 | <amitz> | what's bad about snow on roofs? driveways, yeah slippery. |
| 06:29 | <czr> | snow weights a lot |
| 06:30 | <czr> | if you have one cubic metre of snow on a sq mem area, you can do the math yourself. |
| 06:30 | <czr> | packed snow that is. |
| 06:31 | <dstufft> | yea snow weighs a lot |
| 06:31 | <amitz> | can't you just design your house so that you can melt the snow and let it flow in a public reservoir? |
| 06:31 | <dstufft> | people's roofs cave in from the snow often enough it can be a problem |
| 06:31 | <czr> | amitz, melting snow means that you have to pump huge amounts of energy against the outside wather |
| 06:31 | <amitz> | ah.... large reservoir |
| 06:31 | <czr> | weather even. |
| 06:31 | <czr> | so it isn't very sane way to use energy |
| 06:31 | <dstufft> | that would require a heater yea |
| 06:32 | <dstufft> | it's mostly a problem (roof wise) on flat roofs |
| 06:32 | <czr> | plus the melting water would just drip down and refreeze somewhere else |
| 06:32 | <dstufft> | since it just sits there and doesn't do much |
| 06:32 | <czr> | yup |
| 06:32 | <dstufft> | on angular roofs it tends to fall off before it gets heavy enough to do something |
| 06:32 | <amitz> | dstufft: aah.. |
| 06:32 | <czr> | tends do. yes :-). |
| 06:33 | <dstufft> | and driveway/walk/roadway, if you live in an area with a decent amount of population, finding someplace to put all that snow is a big headache |
| 06:33 | <czr> | it is indeed. |
| 06:33 | <czr> | we've been normally dumping most of the snow into the sea, but the sea is frozen now |
| 06:34 | <amitz> | so... I take it most people in 4 seasons part of the world hate snow? |
| 06:34 | <dstufft> | eh |
| 06:34 | <czr> | so now we're clearing out large farming areas and preparing the soil so that it can be used as the dumping ground. |
| 06:34 | <dstufft> | i live near philadelphia |
| 06:34 | <dstufft> | we have a bunch of it |
| 06:34 | <dstufft> | i don't mind it |
| 06:34 | <czr> | snow is ok. just not all "yay, wonderful" stuff :-). |
| 06:34 | <czr> | especially in norther/southern countries snow offsets some of the darkness |
| 06:34 | <czr> | since snow reflects light |
| 06:35 | <amitz> | ooh, interesting |
| 06:35 | <dstufft> | you just gotta factor snow into your descision making |
| 06:35 | <czr> | up north, you can get what people call "snow blindness" |
| 06:35 | <czr> | you go skiing on a sunny day for many hours without shades |
| 06:35 | <czr> | then you come back and don't see anything for a day or so |
| 06:35 | <czr> | cause people don't really factor in the reflecting sun |
| 06:35 | <dstufft> | my fiancee has a mustang, which is completly worthless car for driving in the snow |
| 06:36 | <dstufft> | but i have an explorer, so when it snows we just use that :D |
| 06:36 | <czr> | also, ironic as it might seem, sometimes people burn their skin like this. although assuming that they've had no exposure to sun otherwise :-) |
| 06:36 | <amitz> | czr: so they're stuck somewhere out there? heh |
| 06:36 | <dstufft> | snow blindness sucks yea |
| 06:36 | <czr> | I had a friend who liked to do mountaineering |
| 06:36 | <dstufft> | i like driving around town during/right after a snow |
| 06:37 | <czr> | and he was somewhere in norway doing his thing, and was out of shape. so ended up breathing through the mount a lot |
| 06:37 | <dstufft> | since most people don't have cars capable of driving around in it, it's kind of neat |
| 06:37 | <czr> | after the climb, they went back to the lodge and had some pancakes and strawberry jam |
| 06:37 | <czr> | and he thought it was some spicy stuff. ended up he burned his tongue while climbing |

| 06:38 | <dstufft> | that doesn't happen, well you would need really cold temperatures for that to happen atleast |
| 06:38 | <czr> | oh, you mean falling mostly water liquid that freezes before hitting the ground? |
| 06:38 | <czr> | snow happens :-). |
| 06:38 | <dstufft> | pee is warm when coming out of the body |
| 06:38 | <czr> | the distance obviously is quite much longer |
| 06:39 | <czr> | yeah |
| 06:39 | <amitz> | yeah, or making connected ice from the ground to your little friend. |
| 06:39 | <czr> | I think realistically you'd need something like -70C to do that |
| 06:39 | <amitz> | ah, good point, it's warm initially. |
| 06:39 | <czr> | and at that tempereature you wouldn't be doing the peeing anymore |
| 06:39 | <czr> | it also depends on the salinity and other factors obviously |

| 06:40 | * | czr nods |
| 06:40 | <czr> | but I guess one could do an experiment quite easily |
| 06:40 | <czr> | there's a cold room some 20 km from here |

| 06:41 | <amitz> | is there a correlation between temperature and your frequency of bathing? |

| 06:41 | <dstufft> | -128 is pretty cold (F) |
| 06:41 | <czr> | amitz, no |

| 06:42 | <dstufft> | yea so did I |
| 06:42 | <Marius> | well, I think linode owuld be bothered if I suddenly add a couple hundred domains xD |
| 06:42 | <dstufft> | the 15 minute interval on refreshing is a little annoying sometime |
| 06:42 | <Marius> | also, linode can't do .no domains :P |
| 06:42 | <dstufft> | Marius: i doubt they'd care |
| 06:42 | <czr> | Marius, why not? |
| 06:43 | <dstufft> | dns isn't really that resource intensive |
| 06:43 | <czr> | Marius, although I haven't tried .fi ones either. |
| 06:43 | <czr> | it's like, country-specific tld, pfft. |
| 06:43 | <Marius> | czr, because without being authorized by NORID you can't do dns for .no |
| 06:43 | <czr> | Marius, ah, thought so. |
| 06:43 | <czr> | something like that at least. that's somewhat lame |
| 06:43 | <Marius> | I can authorize through the company, but then we'd be responsible for any fuckup anyone with a .no on linode did :P |

| 06:57 | <bob2> | why do registries feel the need to get all fancy about NS records |
| 06:57 | <Milos|Netbook> | Is it possible for a linode to have another physical interface? I'm having problems with ssh tunneling because it always ends up using your primary IP no matter which one you connected with. (problem since it's just eth0:X - an alias) |
| 06:57 | <bob2> | just use the goddamn names and optional glue I give you |
| 06:57 | <Marius> | well, for .no it's because ot register one you need an orgnization number and there's restrictions on usage |
| 06:58 | <Marius> | like if you use it for a funny vhost, they'll kill your domain |
| 06:58 | <Marius> | Milos|Netbook, there's LISH |

| 08:00 | <mwalling> | you mean whats on the whois info? |
| 08:00 | <tiny> | yes |
| 08:00 | <mwalling> | ask your registrar |
| 08:00 | <tiny> | k |
| 08:01 | <pl___> | Hello. I have a linode 768, that should have 768MB or RAM, but the 'free' command reports only 540MB. What's the reason? |
| 08:01 | <Marius> | free -m ? |
| 08:01 | <mwalling> | pl___: have you rebooted since we got that upgrade? |
| 08:01 | <pl___> | Marius, yes, free -m |
| 08:01 | <pl___> | mwalling, yes |
| 08:02 | <mwalling> | pl___: did you manually configure the max memory in your config profile? |

| 08:05 | <bob2> | pl___: and the output of 'uptime'? |
| 08:05 | <pl___> | wait, I'm not sure anymore I rebooted that linode since the last upgrade |
| 08:05 | <Marius> | Yeah, there are no 540's any more |

| 08:41 | <@irgeek> | tiny: If it works when you dig @ns1.linode.com but you can't hit it in a web browser, your upstream DNS resolver is cacheing the NXDOMAIN record. |
| 08:41 | <@irgeek> | If you can get them to clear it, it should start working. If you can't you need to wait for the negative cache to expire. |

| 09:45 | <praetorian> | imho, 5 is more than sufficient |

| 12:40 | <Daevien> | redundancy is good, otherwise, doesn't matter really.. |
| 12:41 | <@pparadis> | diwwin: if you follow the LAMP guide instructions for setting up a virtualhost, you'll be fine. you need to substitute "phpmyadmin.yourdomain.com" for the example domains wherever they're given in these guides (if you're using "phpmyadmin.yourdomain.com" as the vhost for phpmyadmin). |
| 12:41 | <DephNet[Paul]> | pharaun, I know that, but I am mainly moving it so that if London goes dark, I have a way of getting client information, and a way of emailing them |

| 12:43 | <erik`> | DephNet[Paul], if you want it always up, host copies outside of linode |
| 12:43 | <Daevien> | right by where it says public ips, line below that to add ip, reverse dns, etc |
| 12:43 | <erik`> | if linode does a major fuckup, they could take down all their VPSes at the same time |
| 12:43 | <mbreslin> | grep "<link>.*<\/link>" |
| 12:43 | <erik`> | regardless of DC |
| 12:43 | <mbreslin> | i want to exclude <link> and </link> from the result, any ideas? |
| 12:43 | <pharaun> | DephNet[Paul]: possible to like keep a offsite backup say s3 or local copy of the email list so you can atleast contact your clients/etc ? |
| 12:43 | <Daevien> | markatto: then punch in the hostname, it will check to see that the ip is pointing to a valid ip for that linode & let you setit |
| 12:44 | <erik`> | mbreslin, grep -v ? |
| 12:44 | <markatto> | Daevien: oh I see, you have to do the forward lookup thing first. Kinda unintuitive. Thanks! |
| 12:45 | <DephNet[Paul]> | pharaun, true, I could keep a copy on a linode, but have the main copy away from Linode, but that just means paying WHMCS for 2 licenses. I think I really need to get my head down, and code my own billing app |
| 12:45 | <mbreslin> | erik`: so stupid, thanks |
| 12:45 | <mbreslin> | should have thought of that |
| 12:45 | <Daevien> | markatto: well it's to make sure that whatever.yourdomain.com exists number 1 and number 2 is pointed at somethign that could be set for reverse |
| 12:45 | <mbreslin> | was trying to do it all in one pattern |
| 12:45 | <mbreslin> | no point |
| 12:46 | <mbreslin> | pipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee |
| 12:46 | <pharaun> | DephNet[Paul]: why paying? can't you just keep a rsync copy of the linode, and then if it go down, start up the other so you can access data ? |
| 12:46 | <pharaun> | and that is still "1 copy" running kind of thing, i don't know what the license says |
| 12:46 | <markatto> | Daevien: It makes sense that it looks it up first, but there is no indication that doing the lookup is part of the process for setting rdns |
| 12:47 | <Daevien> | WHMCS = pain, think it does ip verification first thing with their server before letting you run. so he'd be accessing form a diff ip |
| 12:47 | <pharaun> | oh? |
| 12:47 | <DephNet[Paul]> | pharaun, you could, but that would mean re-issuing the license whenever I access it on a different IP |
| 12:47 | <pharaun> | go talk to them then i guess, ask them about DR/etc |
| 12:47 | <pharaun> | DephNet[Paul]: ah |
| 12:47 | <Daevien> | markatto: i guess teh assumption is that if you are in reverse dns, you want to set it and you'll punch in the host into the only box. jab caker and tell him you think it shodul be more explained ;) |

| 13:14 | <Gika> | priyesh: http://library.linode.com/ :) |
| 13:14 | <pharaun> | mattybats: yes, both vps will have their own public valid ip yes, tho you could use like some sort of VPN between your firewall to your main vps but you would still in the end probably have iptable on *both* so why not toss out the firewall vps, and just go with a single VPS, it would be a better solution |
| 13:14 | <JshWright> | priyesh: what sort of stuff are you looking to do? |
| 13:15 | <mattybats> | pharaun, I see in the Linode Manager there is an option to have private IPs |
| 13:15 | <priyesh> | Gika: thanks - I've started reading the beginners section there |
| 13:15 | <pharaun> | mattybats: yes, but you still will have the public ip on both vps, and yes while you can setup VPN and etc, you WILL still probably need to setup iptable on *both* and iptable is your firewall filtering software, so why not just use one VPS, it would work |
| 13:16 | <purrdeta> | and it would be cheaper |
| 13:16 | <seanh-ansca> | you don't need public ip's on both |

| 13:16 | <@irgeek> | mattybats: The private IPs are for doing un-metered transfer between your Linodes in the same DC. It does not provide a private network for just your Linodes. |
| 13:17 | <pharaun> | mattybats: ^^^ what irgeek said, he's a staff of linode, knows his stuff :-p and yes you could setup a VPN to create a private "network" between your linode, but still that's just silly, adds on complexity, overheads, and you would need iptable on both *anyway* which makes the whole thing be kind of a moot point |
| 13:17 | <mattybats> | pharaun, irgeek , thanks for information, I'm just trying to rap my head around the networking setup |
| 13:18 | <pharaun> | mattybats: so really what i would recommend is just setup one vps, put what service/whatever on it, and put up a firewall, iptable, or any of the other.... firewall modules like shorewall/ufw/etc that makes it easier, but put it on *that* vps |
| 13:18 | <pharaun> | mattybats: and you'll be on your way to success |
| 13:19 | * | irgeek doesn't even bother with iptables |
| 13:19 | <JshWright> | priyesh: yeah, check out the "getting started" articles in the linode library |
| 13:19 | <@irgeek> | Only services I want exposed are listening on external IPs. |
| 13:19 | <pharaun> | me either, i don't currently have one up, but i outta to put one up just to cover my arse in case i ever accidently put up an internal service |

| 15:01 | <ASnyder> | Hey guys, I seem to be retarded, but I'm trying to restore a backup to the same server and it says not enough space. I would expect, since I'm restoring I would be able to just click on it and it would take care of the rest. I suspect I don't have to manually delete my existing disk image, and then restore. |
| 15:02 | <ASnyder> | I can't seem to find any guide on Linode backups and restores. |
| 15:03 | <pharaun> | Karrde: where in MA :-p I'm on the 495 loop and its only 9ish inch here so not too bad |
| 15:04 | <mattybats> | is there a convenient way to differentiate between two configurations with the same name? |
| 15:04 | <Karrde> | same area |
| 15:04 | <@caker> | ASnyder: the restore system doesn't know what you want -- since you can restore to multiple places (either in your Linode, or into another Linode). If you want to restore into your existing Linode you'll need to de-allocate enough space for the restore - by removing disk images or resizing them |
| 15:05 | <@caker> | ASnyder: alternatively, you could just add another Linode in the same DC, don't deploy anything, restore to it, and move on |
| 15:05 | <Karrde> | the plow also plowed around my car in the lot, so when I pulled out I left walls of snow that just fit my car |

| 15:07 | <ASnyder> | caker: I can see the technical reason for that, but technically I picked a particular linode, I went to its backups, and the backups should account for that interface wise and offer to restore to it, since that's where I am, or to others like in the existing grid. It's confusing to me as a user to see the server I'm currently in and trying to restore a backup to treated like one of my other servers. It's confusing interface wise, and the |

| 15:07 | <@jed> | splitlong.pl ftw |
| 15:08 | <Karrde> | 512 characters ought to be enough for anyone |
| 15:08 | <@caker> | ASnyder: so one navigates to the backups on a particular Linode, but wants to restore it elswehere -- where does that happen? |
| 15:09 | <linbot> | New news from forums: Trouble with cloned Linode in General Discussion <http://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?t=6539>; |
| 15:09 | <ASnyder> | caker: it would happen there, but there should be a seperation. So that grid is fine that you have, I"m just saying there should be a clear separation for "this" server, versus others |
| 15:09 | <@caker> | you don't know which server you clicked on? :) |
| 15:09 | <ASnyder> | so instead of Select a linode to restore this backup to |
| 15:09 | <@caker> | I'm messing with you -- thanks for the input |
| 15:09 | <warren> | The Linode backups are file backups, not raw images right? |
| 15:10 | <ASnyder> | you would have "restore to this server" and a line, and it's info, without the not enough space issue, and then the gird you have, but saying something like Select a different linode to restore to |
| 15:11 | <ASnyder> | very clear to me and saves the several steps it will now take to delete the info, then click back, then click restore |
| 15:13 | <ASnyder> | caker: The current process is very confusing to me. So now I actually have to remove two disk images, then go to backups, then restore to, correct? |

| 15:13 | <@caker> | try it and see :) |
| 15:14 | <ASnyder> | caker: that's the thing, when dealing with a server, try it and see is not the right approach. If I don't live in this every day it can be daunting. Any uncertainties or extra steps just makes the user, in this case me, uncomfortable with the process. |
| 15:16 | <ASnyder> | caker: Even more steps now, they both failed, because I forgot to shutdown. |
| 15:17 | <ASnyder> | So to be clear, current restore process is. 1. Shut down server. 2. Delete any disk images 3. Wait for deletion 4. Click on backups 5. Click backup restore to 6. Click server to restore to |
| 15:17 | <ASnyder> | versus as it is on slicehost for example, 1. Click on backups, 2. Click restore |

| 17:44 | <straterra> | Boohemian: OpenSUSE? |
| 17:44 | <straterra> | tonyyarusso: global |
| 17:44 | <robinetd> | If only there were a site that had a list of distributions. Maybe even watched them. :o |
| 17:45 | <tonyyarusso> | Boohemian: Why don't you want Fedora, Debian, or Ubuntu? |
| 17:45 | <Boohemian> | devsforev: yeah, that's on my list |
| 17:45 | <Boohemian> | that's the only distro that seems worthwhile now (if you dont want an apt or rpm based system) |
| 17:45 | <tonyyarusso> | straterra: Do I include the /64 bit on the end? |

| 17:46 | <tonyyarusso> | straterra: No, but I don't entirely understand the format of v6 strings yet, so just checking. |
| 17:46 | <Boohemian> | sirpengi: i love debian for servers, but lenny is too old and i don't want a sid system because i want something reliable. i don't like the ubuntu philosophy (for myself, at least). i really hated fedora when i used it reviously |

| 17:52 | <tonyyarusso> | straterra: In the section "IPv6 Tunnel Endpoints", there are 4 lines - "Server IPv4 addresss", "Server IPv6 address", "Client IPv4 address", and "Client IPv6 address". "Client IPv6 address" is 2001:470:1f10:b0d::2/64, Client 4 is 66.246.76.139 (my normal Linode IP), Server 6 is 2001:470:1f10:b0d::1/64, and Server 4 is 209.51.181.2 (HE in Chicago) |
| 17:52 | <straterra> | tonyyarusso: Right..and theres one more field |
| 17:53 | <straterra> | Something that ends with /64 that isn't either of those above |
| 17:53 | <tonyyarusso> | straterra: Not under that section there's not. Now, down further on the page, there's a section titled "Routed IPv6 Prefixes and rDNS Delegations", and under that there's a field "Routed /64" with 2001:470:1f11:b0d::/64 |
| 17:54 | <straterra> | That's the one you want |
| 17:54 | <tonyyarusso> | ah |
| 17:54 | <straterra> | Assign yourself an IP out of THAT range |
| 17:54 | <sirpengi> | Boohemian: that's still not any answer as to what you didn't like about them. |
| 17:54 | <straterra> | And put it on the he-ipv6 interface (or whatever you named it) |
| 17:54 | <sirpengi> | hard to make any recommendations when we have no idea what it is that you're looking for |
| 17:54 | <straterra> | So..you can use 2001:470:1f11:b0d::1 if you want |
| 17:55 | <Boohemian> | sirpengi: i just wnat to use a different system that what i've used before |
| 17:55 | <sirpengi> | go bsd then |

| 18:02 | <straterra> | Well |
| 18:02 | <straterra> | For the second linode, you can create ANOTHER HE account and do the same sort of thing |
| 18:02 | <tonyyarusso> | That seems silly. |
| 18:02 | <straterra> | Or..you can undo the work you just did, not use the /64 you were delegated..and request a /48 :P |
| 18:02 | <tonyyarusso> | ha |
| 18:02 | <straterra> | On the dashboard there you should be able to request a /48 |
| 18:03 | <tonyyarusso> | So why do I have more than one IP address for one machine? |

| 18:09 | <user6484> | unbuntu 10.4 |
| 18:09 | <tonyyarusso> | straterra: Okay, so I need a /64 for every *external* IPv4 address I have, and then single address for every *internal* one. So, since my Linodes have one of each, I have a /64 separately for each of them, but would use a single /64 for all of my stuff at home, while assigning multiple IPs within that to each device, with the tunnel-to-address step being equivalent to the NAT I have on IPv4? |
| 18:09 | <erik`> | tonyyarusso, sort of, but then not having NAT ;) |
| 18:10 | <tonyyarusso> | There is no such OS as unbuntu user6484 ;) |

| 18:10 | <bob2> | user6484: sudo aptitude install php5-gd ; sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart |
| 18:11 | <BarkerJr> | I bet that routers that delegate ipv6 just dump everything for the /64 or /48 onto the ethernet and let any PC pick it up |
| 18:12 | <erik`> | BarkerJr, no |
| 18:12 | <erik`> | this also does not work that way for ipv4 |
| 18:12 | <erik`> | before you can send data to a IP on the local network, you need to find the MAC address |

| 18:14 | <erik`> | BarkerJr, ICMPv6 ND you mean? only if the config says the host should be directly connected to an interface on the box |
| 18:14 | <erik`> | if not, it will go to the gateway |

| 22:16 | <icepup> | bob2, just changed my mind, i'm going to use another domain name that is not already pointing MX to google. so I guess I can now follow up with another question :) |
| 22:16 | <icepup> | does it make sense to host my own email? or is that asking for headaches? should I just spend the $50 annually and have google host it |
| 22:17 | <bob2> | goolge will do it for free if you don't mind ads |
| 22:17 | <sirpengi> | and if you don't mind the normal limits |

| 22:18 | <icepup> | true, but question still stands. what do i gain by doing it myself? anything? |

| 22:19 | <bob2> | icepup: not having google sell your data to the NSA! |

| 22:20 | <icepup> | ok, so i have a domain now parked at 1&1, i see basic and advanced dns settings. i'm thinking I need to change the Basic Dns from 1&1 name server to "my name server", and presumably enter the linode name servers? |
| 22:20 | <d-b> | yep! |
| 22:20 | <icepup> | the advanecd settings have A record and MX record. I can leave these for now? |

| 22:21 | <d-b> | yeah |
| 22:21 | <d-b> | sorry. |
| 22:21 | <webroasters> | hi guys. I just setup a mail server for someone. When I try to receive mail from the server, I get problems. It appears it has to do with the SSL that I set up. But I dont have the slightest idea how to fix it. i tried to redo the SSL cert, but still the same. When I view the cert it just says "localhost" and has generic inforamation in it. |
| 22:21 | <d-b> | icepup: yeah just the linode ns's to start with |
| 22:21 | <@mikegrb> | lulz |
| 22:21 | <icepup> | webraosters just convinced me to forget about doing my own mail. lol |
| 22:22 | <@mikegrb> | lulz |
| 22:22 | <webroasters> | LOL |
| 22:22 | <sirpengi> | icepup: if you're going to use linode nameservers, you just set the nameservers at your registrar. all the other records you set at the linode manager |
| 22:22 | <d-b> | icepup: you can also get linode to import a domain via axfr |
| 22:22 | <bob2> | icepup: if you're going to have linode host your dns, ignore everything at 1&1 except for the nameservers (they should point at ns1-5.linode.com) |

| 22:22 | <webroasters> | icepup: the most priceless info you're going to get is "dont use 1&1". it sux :D |
| 22:23 | <icepup> | bob2, ok there's ns1.linode.com through ns5.linode.com, is that what you meant |
| 22:23 | <icepup> | webroasters, agreed, but too late. |
| 22:23 | <webroasters> | :D |
| 22:23 | <bob2> | yes |
| 22:23 | <icepup> | should i at least keep 1&1 for my 2ndary name server, and use linode for 1, 3,4,5? |
| 22:24 | <webroasters> | @bob2: what do you mean? |
| 22:24 | <bob2> | webroasters: what ssl cert? you could be talking about the one your web, imap or smtp server uses |
| 22:25 | <webroasters> | im assuming its smtp. It appears to be the free one that is setup, using this tutorial: http://library.linode.com/email/postfix/dovecot-mysql-ubuntu-10.10-maverick |

| 22:25 | <bob2> | man |
| 22:25 | <icepup> | ok, 1&1 only allows you to set 3 2ndary nameservers, linode offers 4. oh well, so i'll set 1, and 2-4 for the 2ndary |
| 22:25 | <bob2> | perhaps just describe the thing you're seeing |
| 22:25 | <bob2> | icepup: 1,4,5 |
| 22:26 | <icepup> | bob2, what? there's a primary, and a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd "secondary" field. |
| 22:26 | <icepup> | i put ns1 as primary, and 2,3,4 for the remaining, is that wrong? |
| 22:26 | <bob2> | icepup: ok, but do put ns5.linode.com in one of the boxes |
| 22:27 | <bob2> | since it is the only one not in the USA |
| 22:27 | <icepup> | bob2, oh i see. ok then i'll do 3,4, and 5 as the 3 secondaries, and skip the 2nd |
| 22:27 | <d-b> | bob2: that is a nice theory :P |
| 22:28 | <icepup> | once i hit ok, it takes about a day to propegate? then i would go back to my linode to further config it? |
| 22:28 | <d-b> | icepup: depends |
| 22:28 | <d-b> | but yeah go to your linode and configure it |

| 22:28 | <d-b> | yeah! |

| 22:28 | <d-b> | icepup: what's the domain? |
| 22:28 | <bob2> | icepup: so if you didn't configure it in the linode domain manager yet, downtime ahoy :) |
| 22:29 | <d-b> | k nevermind |
| 22:29 | <icepup> | it doesn't exist, i mean there's no site at 1&1 or anywhere, so not an issue |
| 22:29 | <d-b> | bob2: even if the ns ttl is huge? |
| 22:30 | <bob2> | d-b: hm, well, you can't control the GTLD NS TTL |
| 22:30 | <d-b> | :P |
| 22:30 | <bob2> | so I dunno, good point |
| 22:30 | <webroasters> | hold on bob2, i'm re-checking everything |
| 22:31 | <bob2> | oh, cool, the linode nses are in each dc |
| 22:31 | <bob2> | i was mixing them up with theshore |
| 22:32 | <icepup> | what does CLIENT-TRANSFER PROHIBITED mean when I run whois on my domain? |
| 22:32 | <icepup> | still pointing to 1&1, but maybe i'm being impatient :) |
| 22:33 | <bob2> | I think that one means 1&1 are arseclowns and you registered it less than 90 days ago |
| 22:33 | <icepup> | bob2, hmm, ok, can't disagree with either of those assertions |
| 22:33 | <icepup> | but effectively that means what? that what I just did won't work? |
| 22:33 | <bob2> | ie they're not letting you transfer it |
| 22:33 | <icepup> | and if not, why does their stupid interface eve allow me to make the change |
| 22:33 | <bob2> | oh, that works fine, you just can't move to another registrar |
| 22:33 | <icepup> | ohh |
| 22:34 | <icepup> | ever? |
| 22:34 | <bob2> | CLIENT UPDATE PROHIBITED stops you making changes |
| 22:34 | <bob2> | until the 60/90 whatever days is up |
| 22:34 | <icepup> | oh, so just for a few months. not a big deal. why would i need to change registrars anyway (so soon)? |
| 22:34 | <bob2> | they might not offer some feature you want |
| 22:34 | <bob2> | someone else might have an awesome deal |
| 22:34 | <bob2> | etc |
| 22:35 | <bob2> | it's possible they have a checkbox somewhere in their web thing that says "UNLOCK THIS DOMAIN" and that I'm being too harsh |
| 22:35 | <icepup> | could be. not important to me at the moment. i guess i'll have to wait for whois to say the ns has been updated and then proceed with adding a new domain zone through the linode config. |
| 22:36 | <d-b> | 1&1 do something like that |
| 22:36 | <d-b> | never! |
| 22:36 | <icepup> | you know this 1&1 stuff has me wondering, is putting a number in your domain a bad or good idea in today's world? |
| 22:36 | <icepup> | yeah, it's an OT question :) |
| 22:36 | <d-b> | icepup: not really a problem |
| 22:37 | <bob2> | as in 123foo.com? |
| 22:37 | <bob2> | or phone number in whois |
| 22:37 | <d-b> | icepup: um try contacting 1&1 and see if they can wave the 90 day time period |
| 22:37 | <d-b> | they might |
| 22:37 | <icepup> | no in the domain name itself, as in 53apples.com |
| 22:37 | <d-b> | i don't see why you would have 53 |
| 22:37 | <icepup> | will people think (fiftythreeapples?) |
| 22:37 | <d-b> | nope |
| 22:37 | <icepup> | well it's an example, suppose the number had more meaning |
