00:30<justin>Question: I have a new linode account runnint CentOS 5.2 64bit. My SSH connection is terminated after 15 minutes of inactivity. I tried enabling TCPKeepAlive in SSHD and disabling iptables. There was some question as well on how to use the ip_conntrack module in the linode itself. Any suggestions?
00:30<justin>s/runnint/running
00:31<path->using putty?
00:32<justin>yeah
00:32<path->http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.56/htmldoc/Chapter4.html#S4.13.5
00:32<justin>well, i tried modifing sshd_config to enable TCPKeepAlive
00:33<justin>i didn't try using the putty keepalive
00:33<path->gotta do it on the client too
00:33<justin>shouldn't have to
00:33<justin>weird
00:33<path->well, i'd give it a try
00:34<justin>yeah, it's worth trying
00:34<mwalling>mwalling@you ~$ zgrep CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK /proc/config.gz
00:34<mwalling>CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK=y
00:34*justin checks
00:34<mwalling>thats on 2.6.27.4-linode14
00:34<mwalling>and i'm pretty sure its on all kernels prior as well

00:35-!-avongauss [~avongauss@irc.avongauss.info] has joined #linode
00:35<justin>slightly different
00:35<justin>but it is there
00:36<justin>running 2.6.18.8-x86_64-linode1
00:36<path->i have the same for Latest 2.6
00:37<justin>hmm
00:37<path->it could be something else in between
00:37-!-Nat_RH [~Nat@pilot.trilug.org] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
00:37-!-Nat_RH [~Nat@pilot.trilug.org] has joined #linode
00:38<justin>doesn't do it to me on other shell accounts
00:38-!-TheFirst [gaveup@your.friendly.neighborhood.hellmouth.info] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
00:39<justin>i figured it was probably something implemented at the colo or where ever this eqipment is at
00:39<justin>on their firewall/routers
00:39<justin>im testing it now that im at home
00:39<justin>see if it does the same thing as when im at work
00:39<path->i've been logged in for days
00:40<justin>which datacenter are you using?
00:40<path->newark
00:40<justin>im using california
00:40<path->i'm sure other people do the same
00:40<exor674>I've had a SSH connection open for a week straight
00:40<exor674>to both fremont AND newark
00:40<justin>yeah, that is why i don't get this
00:40<justin>it's pretty much a default install of centos
00:41<justin>i haven't made any major changes
00:41-!-Kassah [~kassah@67.61.58.73] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
00:42<path->you reload sshd after making the change?
00:42<RossH>.win 2
00:42<justin>path, service sshd restart
00:43<justin>im a solaris admin so i'm still grasping the subtle differences on how to do things but I do realize the service has to be restarted after the change
00:43<justin>however, even with TCPKeepAlive not set.... it should still retain the connection
00:43<justin>ill do some more testing
00:44<path->i've got no idea
00:44<path->ssh -vvv
00:44<@caker>justin: are you behind a NAT thing?
00:44-!-JshWright_ [~josh@96-24-8-136.syr.clearwire-dns.net] has joined #linode
00:44<atourino><3 tasaro
00:44<@caker>justin: the only times I've heard of this occurring (and experienced first hand) is when there's a nat or wireless router involved somewhere
00:44<@caker>justin: I fixed it by adding the keepalive stuff to my ssh_config on my local box (the client's config file, not the server's)
00:44<@mikegrb>mmm cake
00:44<justin>cake, a NAT thing? The connection I was on earlier today is behind checkpoint firewalls using NATing, but I have other ssh connections established out of that network that stay connected for weeks
00:45*atourino performs cpr to try to keep it alive... can't
00:45<atourino>sigh
00:45<atourino>another one bites the dust
00:45<justin>im testing to see if it does it from home
00:45<justin>im on a pix 501 here at home, but just like work... i can keep connections for many hours while idle
00:46<@caker>ServerAliveInterval 120 <-- what I added to ssh_config on my local box
00:46<justin>i'm using putty as my terminal
00:46<@caker>ah...
00:46<justin>ill try it's setting as well
00:46<justin>it has one
00:46-!-avongauss [~avongauss@irc.avongauss.info] has quit [Quit: Coyote finally caught me]
00:46<justin>it just annoys me know that i shouldn't have to :)
00:46<justin>know what I mean?
00:47<@caker>yup.
00:47-!-avongauss [~avongauss@irc.avongauss.info] has joined #linode
00:47<justin>would rather fix the problem then try to find a way around it
00:48<justin>i guess i was just looking for reassurance that linode's weren't indicative of this type of behavior and you guys have pretty much done that for me
00:48<justin>if i still can't figure it out i may just open a ticket, i guess
00:48<@caker>sure thing
00:49<@caker>we can try different kernels or something, but my initial suspicion is that the problem is elsewhere -- but stranger things have happened!
00:49<justin>it is consistently 15 minutes
00:49<justin>i should probably update my kernel anyway if there is a newer stable one available
00:49<Daeshim>Yeah I had strange things happen my first night with my linode.
00:50<Daeshim>Seems to be working fine now though.
00:50<justin>im also skeptical of using centos but from my understanding it's just rhel
00:50<Daeshim>yeah
00:50<Daeshim>CentOS is a good OS
00:50-!-Kassah [~kassah@67.61.58.73] has joined #linode
00:50<Daeshim>I know a few hosting companies that use it as their main OS for web hosting.
00:50<justin>3 more minutes to see if this thing disconnects me
00:50<justin>daeshim, yeah, me too
00:50<justin>well, i know of one
00:51<@caker>64% of all deployments at Linode are Debian or Ubuntu. CentOS has about 13%
00:51-!-toyo|desk [~greg@c-67-170-75-54.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] has joined #linode
00:51<@caker>fwiw :)
00:51<justin>i was never a big debian fan
00:51<@mikegrb>! people still use slackware?!?!
00:51<tjfontaine>slackware is the last 20%?
00:51<justin>however i was a big slackware fan
00:52<@caker>tjfontaine: 2.4% slackware, amazingly :)
00:52<tjfontaine>jeepers
00:52<@caker>6% gentooooo
00:52<atourino>remaining 17.6% is freebsd and windows
00:52<tjfontaine>10% arch?
00:52<justin>you can install your own OS on a linode, i take it?
00:52<@caker>sure
00:53<justin>anyone install opensolaris on a linode?
00:53<@caker>1% is Arch
00:53<tjfontaine>opensolaris has been a no go so far
00:53<justin>ah
00:53<path->someone tried but had issues with their pvops
00:53<atourino>opensuse?
00:53-!-JWright [~josh@96-24-8-136.syr.clearwire-dns.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
00:53<tjfontaine>it hates pv_grub tries
00:53<@caker>.4% novel
00:53<atourino>wow!
00:53<@caker>+l
00:53<justin>haha
00:53<atourino>I would've thought it more popular
00:54<atourino>at least with the euro folk
00:54<@caker>I don't think we've offered it for that long
00:54*caker retires to his chamber
00:54<justin>well, so far my home connection has idled longer than 15 minutes
00:54<atourino>night!
00:54<justin>fucking weird
00:54<@caker>o/
00:55<justin>maybe there is something between the path i take at work through embarq to linode
00:55<starter2>caker, is wanting to be able to start more bots on undernet a valid reason for more ip's? undernet only allows 2 connections per IP... ?
00:55<starter2>bots = eggdrop
00:55<@caker>starter2: no
00:56<starter2>crap:) i thought so:)
00:56*caker mumbles something about ipv6
00:56<starter2>what??
00:56<@mikegrb>lolz
00:56<starter2>lol
00:56<fo0bar>lolz
00:56<starter2>could you repeat what you mumbled?:)
00:56<Daeshim>ipv6 tunnel :D
00:56<justin>people still connect to undernet?
00:57<starter2>of course they do
00:57<justin>is it still the place for all the warez kiddies?
00:57<starter2>how do we justify more ips? i know domains would be a good way to do it
00:58<starter2>justin, the staff is working intensivly on stopping that, but yes it does have some specific channels
00:58<starter2>doing that:)
00:58<starter2>my fav is #mp3passion :)

00:59<starter2>caker, help me out please:) how do i justify ips?
00:59<justin>thanks for the info everyone, i think my issue was just a 1-off problem with work->linode
01:00<justin>a strange one
01:01-!-digx [~rick@c-66-176-81-12.hsd1.fl.comcast.net] has joined #linode
01:04<irgeek>starter2: You need something that *requires* extra IPs - like https hosting.
01:04<starter2>what else does?:)
01:05<irgeek>There's a simple hack to get more IPs without justification though.
01:06<irgeek>Just buy more Linodes.
01:06<@mikegrb>lolz
01:06<starter2>are you brain damaged? lol
01:06<fo0bar>lolz
01:06<starter2>they cost 20 bucks a piece
01:06<starter2>lo
01:06<starter2>im a damn student...
01:06<starter2>its already expensive for me
01:07<starter2>i dont get it how serverpronto just throws ips away
01:07<starter2>at 10bucks per ip one time deal...
01:07<irgeek>You never said you wanted more free IPs. You said you wanted more IPs.
01:08<@mikegrb>lolz
01:08<Huru>lol @ irgeek
01:08<fo0bar>lolz
01:08<irgeek>And hosts that burn through IPs like that will likely find themselves not able to get new blocks in the not too distant future.
01:08<starter2>how the hell does the internet run out of ips
01:08<@mikegrb>lolz
01:08<starter2>lol
01:08<fo0bar>lolz
01:08<starter2>isnt it... 255 to the power of 4?
01:09<irgeek>Are you kidding, or do you really not know?
01:09<starter2>!calc 255^4
01:09<linbot>starter2: 255^4 = 4,228,250,625
01:09<starter2>not kidding
01:09<starter2>4 billion IPS
01:09<starter2>hmm
01:09<starter2>2 ips per person roughly
01:09<starter2>but yet again so many people dont use that allthough
01:09<starter2>many do have internet home...
01:09<starter2>damn
01:09<starter2>irgeek, explain please:)
01:10<irgeek>Uh, no. The world population is about 6.6 million. That's less than one IP each.

01:11*Daeshim coughs
01:11<starter2>what is that??
01:11<starter2>why do people mumble
01:11<starter2>and cough
01:11<Daeshim>That solves the IP problem
01:11<irgeek>But, when you start subtracting the reserved blocks and the /8 blocks that were handed out to companies years ago, the supply gets much smaller.
01:11<justin>the coughs and mumbles are subtle ways of saying... move forward already
01:12<justin>move away from the 20 year old technologuy

04:55<metaperl>I bet ubuntu tomcat works out the box... i'm catching hell with debian/stable's version
04:55<metaperl>how can I migrate my linode from debian/stable to ubuntu?
04:56<Internat>reinstall :P
04:56<SelfishMan>metaperl: tomcat5.5 on ubuntu works as long as you install the full jdk from sun and nothing else
04:56<metaperl>right.... debian/stable is not working... i'm asking on debian-user about it
04:56<metaperl>but overall, I am ready to join the ubuntu tribe
04:57<Internat>fair enuff
04:57<Internat>you are going to be better off reinstalling then attempting any bastardisation
04:58<metaperl>thing is, debian just failed when I tried to install tomcat5.5 --- it didnt say anything about need ing to install sun-java5-jdk
04:58<metaperl>I had to ask on IRC about it
04:58<Internat>err
04:58<Internat>is there a debian package for tomcat 5.5?
04:58<SelfishMan>yep, you need sun-java?-jdk specifically
04:59<Internat>so there is..
04:59<Internat>i know i installed tomcat from scratch on my box.

05:45<Nickolai>gandi.net

05:54<axod>hi what is the purpose of buying [Extras->bandwidth] ?
05:54<axod>will this happen automagically if I go over my allowance anyway?
05:55<Internat>no
05:55<Internat>you should read up on the forums etc though, because im pretty sure they have mentioned that the bandwidth is a softquota..
05:56<axod>hmm ok,
05:56<Internat>ie if you go over it, depdning on how much, you mightnt be in the shit :)
05:56<Internat>i would imagine if your consistantly going over you would need to buy more.. but if its just a one off, they probably wouldnt care, depending on how much
05:56<axod>ah. I better get the extra sorted then
05:56<Internat>but im not an admin, so dont take my word as gospel
05:56<axod>sure ok
05:56<Internat>your gonna go over the limit?
05:56<axod>it's my first month, but I'll go over by a lot
05:57<axod>allowance = 600GB, likely to do around 1500GB
05:57<Internat>wholy frig
05:57<SelfishMan>you can always buy it at the end of the month if you are afraid of going over
05:57<Internat>what the hell are you hosting..
05:57<@mikegrb>lolz
05:57<axod>lol @ wholy frig
05:57<fo0bar>lolz
05:57<axod>nice phrase
05:57<axod>I run mibbit... this is one of 2 servers
05:57*SelfishMan smells torrents
05:57<axod>mibbit does about 3TB/month
05:57<HoopyCat>if that were me, i'd open a ticket to ask about it, just to get official guidance
05:58<axod>it's just chat...
05:58<HoopyCat>also note that if you have multiple linodes, the bandwidth allowances are pooled (i.e. if you have two 360s with 200GB each, and one does 350GB and the other does 50GB, that's cool), but you're probably a bit past that ;-)
06:00<axod>cool
06:00<Internat>3tb a month is impressive..
06:01<HoopyCat>it's only 100GB a day... i do half that in a month. call me when it's 3.1TB... there's some serious transfer ;-)
06:05<@mikegrb>lolz
06:05<Internat>lol
06:05<fo0bar>lolz
06:05<Internat>i dont think ive ever come close to hitting my bandwidth
06:06<Internat>that being said at the moment i have 4 linodes.. so 2x200+2x300 = 1TB.. id be lucky to ever hit that
06:10<HoopyCat>aww man, gopherlib is gone from python 3000 :-(

06:40<Oli``>Hi all. I'm trying to pick a VPS between Linode and Slicehost. I know I'm going to get biased answers but (apart from price) why is Linode better (or worse)? .. as Honest as possible please =)
06:41<Hobbsee>more resources? :)
06:41<SelfishMan>Linode just works.
06:42<Hobbsee>the nice habit of giving away more bits, for the same money is rather nice, too
06:42<SelfishMan>I could probably give you the 64 vs 32 bit memory usage argument too I guess
06:44<Oli``>I know it'd be speculating, but how much do you think the rackspace buyout is going to improve their specs/prices?
06:44<Hobbsee>SpaceHobo: really? i would have thought you'd get them by torrenting
06:44<SelfishMan>I honestly think rackspace will raise prices and eventually drop the service as it is now
06:44<SelfishMan>That seems to be the way they work, much like microsoft
06:45<Hobbsee>SpaceHobo: i hit that for months, with torrenting the ubuntu isos :P
06:45<Oli``>And does Linode have any plans to expand to Europe (like Slicehost eventually will)?
06:45<Hobbsee>ah, right.
06:45<Hobbsee>ahh
06:46<Oli``>I'm in the UK - I'm just talking about having faster response times for clients here =)

07:18<Oli``>shmay: AFAIK, you can't
07:18<shmay>k
07:19<Oli``>.debs (the packages apt uses) are packaged up so they know where to install.. I don't think you can deviate from that unless you download the deb, extract it and install it manually (messy!)

09:55<axod>unicode on terminals is a bit cludgy IMHO
09:55<mwalling>?.
09:55<Yaakov>Well, you have probably done: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and defutf8 in .screenrc and term_charset = utf-8 in irssi but that should do it, UNLESS, your terminal is screwed up.
09:59<Yaakov>The Leopard Terminal.app screwed up Irssi for me in a couple of ways so I used the old one. Then when I went from FreeBSD shells to Linux, UTF-8 blew up.
10:00<Yaakov>I had to switch to iTerm, and it is not good at spacing the UTF-8 characters, so, it isn't prefect.

14:17<anderiv>Twayne: it's your code that's causing the problem....not the data.

14:19<Twayne>well, my sites timing out, and i've gotta stop this from happening
14:20<anderiv>Twayne: find the bottleneck. It could be your httpd, it could be your disk, it could be your db.
14:20<Twayne>it won't time out at 6.0 mb/s but once we cross 7 and go to 8 it times out
14:20<Twayne>we optimized the db
14:20<Twayne>and apache
14:20<anderiv>Twayne: what cacheing are you doing?
14:20<Twayne>so could it be i just don't have enough ram?
14:20<mwalling>anderiv: whats this caching you speak of?
14:20<anderiv>or does your db get hit w/ every pageload?
14:21<Twayne>no, not every page load

14:23<anderiv>agreed
14:23<Twayne>agreed?
14:23<anderiv>...and work on more aggressive caching as well.
14:23<Twayne>ic
14:24<anderiv>Twayne: like I said before, your timeouts aren't about the data. Rather, it's being caused by whatever processing happens to be generating said data.
14:24<Twayne>ok
14:25<Twayne>well, how do you find the bottle neck?
14:26<anderiv>probably first, you need to find out whether your timeouts are being caused by apache or mysql.
14:27<Twayne>how do you do that?
14:27<anderiv>that's above my pay grade.
14:27<anderiv>:-)

14:41<Twayne>?
14:41<Twayne>what would that do?
14:41<anderiv>!google reverse proxy

14:43<Twayne>ic
14:43<Twayne>so i could use a 360 for a reverse proxy perhaps
14:44<Twayne>What would be an immediate solution right now though? through 180 mb ram on?
14:44<anderiv>Twayne: what's your current RAM usage?
14:44<anderiv>if that's not the problem, then throwing more ram at the server isn't likely to help anything
14:45<Twayne>how do i check?
14:45*anderiv can't help but think that you're in over your head.
14:46<Twayne>i have someone here at linode work on the server for me... he's not around right now.. and traffic is now 10mb/s
14:46<Twayne>timing out no good.. need quick fix for now
14:46<mwalling>linode provides managed support now?

14:48<anderiv>I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you probably ought not touch anything on that server lest you break it.
14:48<Twayne>anderiv: what's the command to look at current ram
14:48<Twayne>anderiv: i won't, but if ram will fix this, i don't have to do anything but order
14:48<anderiv>...and reboot the server.
14:49<Twayne>i know how to reboot the server
14:49*mwalling clapps
14:49<Twayne>linode console... reboot
14:49<anderiv>hah
14:49<anderiv>it's actually preferrable to use LPM or LISH to reboot.

14:55<daniel>Well I don't atm, I mean I can

14:56*anderiv proposes a more subversive solution: remove his sound card or disable it in BIOS.
14:56<Twayne>so how do you stop the db from taking a beatin?.. Also would the db cause time outs?

15:06<z3e0>well 5 GB mysql

15:06<RickyWh>fee for extra's? and how about setting up rDNS?

15:06<anderiv>RickyWh: $1/mo/ip
15:06<RickyWh>cool
15:06<mwalling>RickyWh: $1/mo, rdns can be done from the control pannel
15:06<anderiv>RickyWh: there's an rDNS widget in your control panel.

15:07<z3e0>?
15:07<anderiv>z3e0: totally dependant on your use case.
15:08<anderiv>z3e0: order a 360, try it out. If it's not enough, upgrading to a larger plan is trivial.
15:08<mwalling>maybe a dedicated vps for mysql... maybe. but all you've said that the dataset is "massive". you could only be getting 1 hit/month

15:24<JWright>perhaps you got root'd and are serving pr0n/wares?
15:25<JWright>easy enough to find out...

Oh well, the new experimental kernel is now running... let's see how it goes :-)

15:40<b4>that could explain bandwiht usage

15:41<b4>i shoudl stop it before he uses all my bandwith
15:41<b4>10GB used in about 7 hours
15:42<sweh>update-grub? Why would you need to do that? Just edit /boot/grub/grub.conf (or wherever your distro puts grub.conf) and that's it.
15:42<Yaakov>Talk to Linode staff about it.
15:42<sweh>No need, unlike lilo, to rebuild the boot maps each time.
15:42<mwalling>sweh: oh... well, it still didnt take

15:47<sweh>On my (home) Centos machine, an entry would look like

15:47<sweh>It's possible the debian code is reading comments and building the necessary lines for you.
15:47<Yaakov>Talk to Linode staff about it.
15:47<bd_>(10 gigabytes) / (7 hours) = 416.101587 kBps
15:47<bd_>not much of a ddos, heh

15:48<b4>and i've downlaoded almost nothing
15:48<bd_>talk about a wimpy ddos
15:48<bd_>(16 gigabytes) / (36 hours) = 129.453827 kBps

15:49<b4>plus...another ISP foudn otu abotu an attack
15:49<b4>and proxy IPs are beign sent to the FBI
15:49<bd_>b4: ?
15:50<bd_>anyway it sounds like this idiot was just blasting you from his home computer's network connection or something
15:50<b4>he has DSL
15:50<bd_>given that that rate isn't even remotely near DDoS levels
15:50<b4>he can't keep a constant connetcion as he gets a new IP like every week
15:50<bd_>b4: yeah, any linode will just shrug off a single DSL connection going flat out :D
15:51<sweh>mwalling; grub is better than lilo... but when you get stupid wrapper programs then you can take anything and overcomplicate things :-)

16:26<HoopyCat>b4: rackmount servers generally have higher-velocity fans, esp. 1U servers... there's gotta be a lot of air and it has to move quickly to keep the CPUs happy, which means there's a lot of noise
16:26<b4>but thats a U

16:29<HoopyCat>Yaakov: i used to love running a supermicro 1U on my bench for a few days. then, suddenly, one day, i'd power it off and everyone would involuntarily freak out because of the sudden, deafening silence

16:30<Yaakov>I currently have some no-name 1U dual Xenon box in my OFFICE. Fortunately, it isn't a specially loud one, but, I will be very pleased when I move it to the machine room.

19:15<Hobbsee>dpkg --get-selections | grep install, then pipe part of that thru apt-cache policy?

19:18<Oli``>Internat: if you want a really manual way, just find out which version you've got and search the package repos =)
19:18<guinea-pig>dpkg -l | grep ^ii and dpkg --get-selections | grep install are pretty much the same thing
19:19<Internat>dpkg -l | awk '/^ii/ {print $2}' | xargs apt-cache policy | awk '/^[a-z0-9\-]+:/ {pkg=$1}; /\*\*\*/ {OFS="\t"; ver=$2; getline; print pkg,ver,$2,$3}' <== apparently
19:19<Internat>dpkg bot ftw
19:20<guinea-pig>so just that | grep meibuntu
19:20<guinea-pig>or whatever repo you're looking for
19:20<Pici>Or grep through the Packages.gz file for the repo and get the packages from there, although that will include some stuff that you may not have installed.
19:21<guinea-pig>or stuff you've installed a different version of
19:22<guinea-pig>the one Internat pasted has the benefit of showing the repo for the specific version installed, if there is more than one.
19:23<guinea-pig>interestingly, it's also a way to find out what you have installed that's not in the repos anymore

21:01<b4>caker, are you positive nothing rrelated to network monitoring is b0rked?
21:02<RickyWh>I was thinking about buying a linode vps, are having issues with ddos?
21:02<b4>i just know some skiddiots
21:02<b4>and i zline done from an irc net
21:02<b4>and he got angry
21:02<mariorz>e/window 24e
21:02<bd_>RickyWh: he angered a kid with a DSL connection
21:02<bd_>and now said kid is pinging him as fast as his modem can handle
21:03<bd_>not that that's really a problem much :D
21:03<RickyWh>does linode vps's ever have issues with ddos?
21:03*b4 also uses DSL \o/
21:03<b4>same ISP
21:03<b4>difefrent state
21:03<bd_>RickyWh: Well, the general policy is if you get a ddos more than once or so, you're asked to find another host
21:04<RickyWh>ahh ok
21:04<jimd>RickyWh: I've heard that any Linode customer who attracts DDOSes will be given the boot.
21:04<bd_>if incoming traffic saturates a host's network port, though, then there might be a bit of downtime until linode can contact the datacenter and get them to nullroute the target of the attack
21:04<bd_>doesn't happen often though
21:04<RickyWh>which DC does linode use?
21:04<jimd>That's harsh for the victim --- but good for those of us who don't piss off script kiddies, crackers and other undesirables out on the 'net
21:05<bd_>jimd: well, $20/mo doesn't pay for DDOS mitigation
21:05<bd_>RickyWh: it has four of them :)

21:06<bd_>hmm
21:06<b4>just my home connection
21:06<bd_>latest linux kernel git tree has the xen_write_ldt_entry oops fixed
21:06<HoopyCat>b4: 20GB in 2 days is just under 1mb/sec
21:07<b4>whats a good centos 5 mirror?
21:07<jimd>Some twit was running a DoS (spoofed but not DDoS) on my home DNS server a couple years ago ... bloomin' nuisance. I just hardened the configuration as per Crnwyr (sp?) guidelines and it all went away.
21:07<RickyWh>what if someone has a popular website and their competitor decides to ddos them, doesn't that mean anyone who can ddos you basically has a boomstick of boomsticks
21:07<bd_>RickyWh: well, if there was evidence linking said competitor they would be in for a world of pain in the courts
21:07<jimd>The pattern was weird since it was on evenings and weekends only .... like some kid running it from his home computer in NYC?
21:07<RickyWh>i overheard some peeps discussing ddos protection some DC's have
21:07<HoopyCat>RickyWh: if you're in a business where that's likely, you're probably going to have to deal with it as a cost of doing business
21:08<b4>i need a cent 5 mirror
21:08<HoopyCat>RickyWh: there are hardware/software devices out there that'll do it, but they are not cheap
21:08<RickyWh>like for instance, i heard Softlayer was a good DC that has ddos protection on their dedicated boxes
21:08<daniel>Anyone here good with .htaccess?
21:08<HoopyCat>b4: i bet google might be able to find one
21:08<b4>ftp
21:08<jimd>RickyWh ... as a practical matter ... DDoS can't be proactively prevented on the Internet given it's current structure.
21:09<b4>HoopyCat, i wnat one that peopel recommend
21:09<HoopyCat>b4: a random one from the list that's geographically close to you
21:09<mwalling>RickyWh: linode has measures in place to deal with these situations
21:09<RickyWh>one of those expensive hardware/software devices?
21:10<mwalling>better
21:10<jimd>Yeah, but the real advice is: if you think that you're engaging in business that's likely to attract DoS or DDoS ... go somewhere else.
21:10<HoopyCat>RickyWh: softlayer's pricing starts at $160/mo. linode's starts at $20/mo.
21:10<mwalling>Linode has a network of ICBMs that will launch cakes at the bad guys.
21:10<daniel>http://pastie.org/private/oryulktfkblw09utcl1m2a <-- anyone know why my redirects prevent me from doing POST data (and how can I solve this?)
21:11<RickyWh>ok cool
21:11<daniel>No one knows why to my problem? :S meh
21:11<bd_>caker: fyi, I think commit 38ffbe66d59051fd9cfcfc8545f164700e2fa3bc in linus's tree fixes the wine oops on pv_ops kernels I reported a while ago... it'll be in .28 though, so might as well wait for that

21:14<jimd>RickyWh: if you look around their website I think they have some graphs of their historical uptime for the last few years. I suspect you're getting about four-nines.
21:14<HoopyCat>hrm, why isn't ntpd binding to ipv6 on this thing...
21:14<RickyWh>very cool
21:15<mwalling>the SLA is 3 9s... http://www.linode.com/faq.cfm#what-is-your-sla
21:15<jimd>BTW: five-nines is way over-rated --- the additional expenditures to achieve it are rarely justified by real-world business cases.

21:23<RickyWh>1.3 minutes per day or so
21:23<RickyWh>average
21:23<RickyWh>that's tiny
21:23<jimd>RickyWh, yeah, but that's a bad way to put it, statistically speaking.
21:24<mwalling>you're also assuming that linode's quality will never exceed their bare minimum
21:24<jimd>Per month or per year is meaningful. Per day is meaningless for this statistic because even the most ineptly managed UNIX/Linux boxes stay up for days or weeks at a time.
21:25<RickyWh>yes ok
21:25<jimd>As I've said, the promise three-nines, but I think we're experiencing four-nines or better.
21:25<RickyWh>16 minutes per month then?
21:25<mwalling>i dont know of anyone here who has requested an SLA credit
21:26<mwalling>put it that way.
21:26<RickyWh>3 nines is good, sounds good to hear doing better
21:26<jimd>I doubt you'd see even one minute in a month.

21:26<linbot>b4: 66.246.138.7
21:26<exor674>cause otherwise, I'd get what? 5 cents?
21:27<jimd>I don't know how fast they could spin up my node on another server if the hardware it was on failed --- but probably only a few minutes
21:27<bd_>jimd: if the hardware fails they need to have someone in the DC move the drives into a spare host
21:28<mwalling>jimd: as long as it takes to get a cage monkey to pull the sleds and put them in a spare
21:28<bd_>they've done it before, look in the downtime forums
21:28<jimd>Multiply that by all the other nodes on the same host with me (they won't all get migrated/spun off at once --- so I'll be in a queue for a few minutes 'til they get to me.
21:28<bd_>however
21:28<bd_>if they get warning before the machine completely goes
21:28<bd_>then yes, they can migrate you off
21:29<bd_>also, on 9/25 there was a DDOS incident that resulted in sufficient downtime to fall under SLA. I don't know if anyone bothered though - the refund would've been on the order of 5 cents
21:30<jimd>Anyway, suffice it to say it hasn't been an issue for me. If I was really worried about it for an application like monitoring then I'd just pay for two linodes in different DCs
21:30<bd_>(IRC logs <3)
21:31<HoopyCat>bd_: wait what? where? which datacenter? *ponders how much beer he can buy*
21:31<jimd>Then I'd structure my application so that either of them would be sufficient for the polling. Chances of both going down at once are pretty slim and probably get me pretty close to five-nines for only about $40/mo

22:28<HoopyCat>Internat: 22:27 friday and i'm sitting here, drinking beer and wondering why the hell this infernal contraption isn't working for various quantities of contraption.
22:29<frzn>It's 2.28pm, Saturday and im bored at work.

22:31<@mikegrb>bd_: yeah and worse, emacs
22:31<Internat>speaking of soldering.. a friend of mine got bored the other day, and rigged up some leds, and a push button to an argiwino.. and has it compiling his code.. he pushes the button on it, and the ant script kicks off to compile.. if its successful green leds, if not, red leds :D
22:31<@mikegrb>but overall good people
22:31<Internat>its awesomeness
22:32<ang>can anyone point me to a good tutorial for setting up Xen?
22:32<HoopyCat>Internat: i'm working towards replacing the heating/cooling thermostat with something a little more... cool.

22:34<mwalling>ang: the one i found sucked?
22:34<mwalling>(i didnt actally read it, it poped up in delicious)
22:34<Internat>i had a good xen one actually
22:34<ang>everyone i've found seems pretty old :)
22:34<Internat>http://www.sysadminsjourney.com/content/bringing-your-linode-home-with-you
22:35<Internat>its only a week old..
22:35<HoopyCat>i'm hoping to have the human interface to the thermostat involve a couple toggle switches, a mean ol' pot, and a couple nixie tubes
22:35<ang>plus i'm so slackware-centric which I failed miserably to get working as dom0
22:35<HoopyCat>you want it warmer? well, you're going to have to TURN A KNOB ON THE SCARY METAL BOX WITH THE FREAKY TUBES
22:36<@mikegrb>lolz
22:36<Internat>lol
22:36<fo0bar>lolz
22:36<path->nixie tube thermostat??
22:36<path->aren't they expensive?
22:36<Internat>the friend in question also configured his mac to do the compiling if he banged the desk hard enuff.. it joults the inbuilt motion sensors and teh code starts..
22:37<HoopyCat>path-: only the best will do in the common area of the house
22:37<b4>haha
22:37<b4>the ddos dude apparently was kidding
22:37<b4>and there is no explanatino for recieveing 23GB
22:38<ang>Internat: hmm, looks ok. "For me, I just popped in a Centos 5.2 CD, and installed the base OS plus the virtualization package." would be nice if the package was named :)
22:39<z3e0>hey guys whos got a good promo code
22:39<z3e0>for the 20 bux plan

22:41<HoopyCat>path-: i've never seen one in real life, but Yaakov mentioned 'em a couple days ago and i've become rather smitten
22:42<sbyrne>caker: The Xen migration is slick. You guys are great.

22:46<toyo|desk>frzn, I think you have to open a ticket to get moved
22:46<toyo|desk>least thats what I did
22:46<frzn>It is open, it said it would take a few seconds to move it.
22:46<@caker>frzn: migration configured
22:47<HoopyCat>things that terrified me as a child: the gas water heater, overhead round spotlights with waffle grids, reo speedwagon, the glowing coil inside of a slotcar throttle controller
22:47<frzn>Cheers!
