00:00*Peng stabs heckman. No rDNS!
00:00-!-dassouki [~ahmed@142.167.20.90] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds]
00:01<Daevien>some of the oftc servers don't do rdns on ipv6 well
00:01<akerl>The one he's on does :p
00:02<Peng>Daevien: Yes, but 'dig' does.
00:02<@heckman>Of course no rDNS. I would not want to mask "9001"
00:02<Peng>Oh, right.
00:02<Peng>That makes sense.
00:02<Peng>You deserved stabbing anyway, though.
00:02<@heckman>Although, umad-b.ro is seemingly going to waste.
00:03<dwfreed>hehe
00:03<Peng>So is jed's dom0.us :(
00:03<Daevien>Peng: thats cause jed is lazy he said. he started to redo his stuff then left it half finished
00:03<dwfreed>http://goo.gl/6Z1cl
00:03<@jed>yes.
00:03<Daevien>dom0.ca > dom0.us anyway
00:03<@jed>ha ha ok

00:04<linbot>praetorian: Now 84% full (about 1 hour remaining). Last emptied yesterday at 03:25 UTC, last full Sunday at 11:00 UTC after running for 14.0 hours.
00:04<akerl>America's hat!
00:04<Daevien>akerl: a hat with a better credit rating
00:04<gadams>!d
00:04<linbot>gadams: Now 84% full (about 1 hour remaining). Last emptied yesterday at 03:25 UTC, last full Sunday at 11:00 UTC after running for 14.0 hours.
00:04<akerl>Meh. Who cares about national credit rating?
00:04<dwfreed>I love goo.gl urls
00:04<gadams>later.
00:04-!-gadams [~IAmMrAwes@155.141.91.184.cfl.res.rr.com] has quit [Quit: Leaving]
00:04<Peng>dwfreed: Why?
00:05<Peng>gadams left to empty the dehumidifier? :D
00:05<dwfreed>Peng: because you can go to <url>+ and see where the url points, and see various other statistical data about the url
00:06<Peng>dwfreed: Yeah, that is neat.
00:06<dwfreed>(how many clicks, country, platform, and browser counts for it, and click graph, etc.)
00:07<akerl>If you go to <url>++, it should give you stats on the stats page.
00:07<dwfreed>unfortunately, no
00:09<Kyhwana>hmm

00:10<dwfreed>Anybody notice where that short url pointed to?
00:10<Peng>Yes, that was interesting.

00:11-!-exerdigit [~windows98@c-67-170-242-185.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has quit [Quit: Changing server...]
00:11<dwfreed>A friend of mine was able to get that there through a flaw in their site, and they haven't taken it down yet (I think the sysadmin's are still enjoying a laugh (it's been up for several months))
00:12-!-JSharp [~j@173-228-94-213.dsl.dynamic.sonic.net] has joined #linode
00:12<dwfreed>They've since fixed the flaw thoug

00:13-!-k\t [~]r@76.89.216.231] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
00:13<dwfreed>akerl: he told them about the flaw soon after doing it
00:13<Peng>dwfreed: And now we're probably all on watchlists for knowing the URL.
00:14<dwfreed>Peng: doubtful
00:14<akerl>dwfreed: I'm still surprised they didn't kick in his door. Lots of companies don't take to kindly to having a flaw pointed out, and the feds aren't always pleasant
00:16<dwfreed>akerl: indeed, but if you tell them first, instead of the internet at large, then they tend to be more forgiving of it

00:28<@jed>MAJOR WOW FACTOR
00:28<akerl>? Why are we WOW'd?
00:28<Kyhwana>That guy has a bunch of open ports
00:28<akerl>Holy monkey nuggets
00:29*akerl bets he's running cpanel or similar
00:29<akerl>Port 12345? Very creative
00:29<linbot>New news from forums: need help with Joomla in Web Servers and Web App Development <http://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?t=7300>
00:29<Kyhwana>haha
00:29<KyleXY>Joomla, lord
00:30<KyleXY>Is someone pulling a late april fools joke? .-.
00:30<Daevien>is 2082 or 2083 open akerl?
00:30<Kyhwana>hmm. his IP goes to some control panel "you suck at setting up stuff" page
00:30<Daevien>those are the cpanel ports i belive from memory
00:30<KyleXY>Daevien: they are
00:30<akerl>Daevien: Nope
00:30<KyleXY>Daevien: 2082 2083 2086 2087
00:30<KyleXY>Daevien: aliases, /whm /webmail /cpanel
00:31<Kyhwana>and he's running ftp
00:31<Kyhwana>Oh, he's running EHCP
00:31<akerl>KyleXY: Are you talking about joomla guy?
00:31-!-marshall [~marshall@wsip-68-15-9-250.sd.sd.cox.net] has quit [Quit: marshall]
00:31<akerl>Because I don't see those open on mtgamer guy
00:32-!-MrGeneral [~MrGeneral@ipv6.miguelsp.net] has joined #linode
00:32<MrGeneral>I always forget to come to oftc <.<
00:32<KyleXY>akerl: no I'm just speaking in general
00:32<Kyhwana>the mtgamer guy is running "easy hosting control panel"
00:32<Daevien>i think he was confirming my thought that they were cpanel
00:32<MrGeneral>brb ssl time
00:32-!-MrGeneral [~MrGeneral@ipv6.miguelsp.net] has quit []
00:32-!-walterheck [~walterhec@5354CE58.cm-6-5d.dynamic.ziggo.nl] has quit [Quit: Computer has gone to sleep]
00:33-!-MrGeneral [~MrGeneral@ipv6.miguelsp.net] has joined #linode
00:33<MrGeneral>Back
00:33<akerl>I usually guess control panel when they've got 53 open. Most noobs don't install dns on their own, but their panel does
00:33<akerl>MrGeneral: Good to know.
00:33<MrGeneral>sorry for the spam :P
00:33<KyleXY>akerl: generally, unless you're like me :p
00:33<Kyhwana>wow, the domains he talks about go to a bunch of different IPs
00:33<Kyhwana>er, has A records for a bunch of different IPs
00:33<Daevien>MrGeneral: i suggest you turn off auto away & messages liek that. or you'll find a caker sized hole in your ass if he sees it :p
00:33<akerl>Kyhwana: I'm betting that's his issue.
00:33*KyleXY has a little dns daemon spitting out 30s TTL for spitting users to certain places.
00:34<Kyhwana>His reverse record for his linode IP goes to mtgames.org, but none of the A records match his linode IP
00:34<KyleXY>Kyhwana: lord
00:34<Kyhwana>well, I suppose he could have multiple v4 IPs from linode
00:34<KyleXY>Kyhwana: matters, are they in the same subnets?
00:34<Daevien>his mtprox.org doesn't use linode dns even
00:35<Daevien>his mtgames.org uses cloudflare
00:35<akerl>Daevien: It has the same IP at least.
00:35<KyleXY>mtgames.org has address 173.245.61.40
00:35<KyleXY>mtgames.org has address 173.245.61.113
00:35<KyleXY>mtgames.org mail is handled by 10 direct-connect.mtgames.org.
00:35<KyleXY>I'd bet that was handled by his control panel
00:35<Kyhwana>Someone needs to tell him he needs to look at his DNS records first
00:35<KyleXY>Kyhwana: http://direct-connect.mtgames.org/ehcp/
00:36<Kyhwana>nice
00:36*KyleXY laughs at the bottom
00:36<KyleXY>Users:3,Domains:9,Ftpusers:1,Emails:12
00:36<mikegrb_>lulz
00:36<Kyhwana>lol ftpusers
00:36<KyleXY>told us exactly everything we shouldn't need to know
00:36<akerl>Why hello, Mr. Public Accessible Control Pannel
00:36<KyleXY>of course.
00:36<Kyhwana>"So, it looks like you're using a cpanel..."
00:36<KyleXY>"Hello mr control panel, mind telling me how overbloated this server is?"
00:36<KyleXY>http://direct-connect.mtgames.org/ehcp/?op=applyforaccount -- wow,
00:37*KyleXY points to the ads on the page, and the fact the sidebar gives us all the options
00:37<KyleXY>oh, and lots of frames
00:37<Daevien>look at his actual page KyleXY
00:37<Kyhwana>and whoops
00:37<KyleXY>Daevien: I'm kind of hoping not to
00:37<akerl>If you have ads on your admin interface, you're doing it wrong...
00:37<Daevien>zero clue why he uses cloudflare. it's all text
00:37<Kyhwana>security vulerabilities in that version of EHCP
00:38*KyleXY dies
00:38<KyleXY>Kyhwana: ooops.
00:38<Kyhwana>Hmm
00:38<Kyhwana>I think. http://ehcp.net/
00:38<KyleXY>Who's keeping track of this and going to post it? heh
00:38<Kyhwana>" I released ehcp 0.29.15.3 with some security enhancement now. So, if you are using pre 0.29.15, upgrade to this. if you already use 0.29.15, just replace your classapp.php file. Upgrade your ehcp to this fix asap,"
00:39<akerl>KyleXY: Post? You mean pwn, right?
00:39*akerl is kidding. Mostly.
00:39<KyleXY>akerl: That's what essentially will happen
00:39<KyleXY>Kyhwana: lord, look at all of those ads
00:39<akerl>This is why I always ask for IPs in irc. A) It lets me practice reviewing security. B) It lets us say "Holy crap, fix all this"
00:40<Kyhwana>and a publically accessable phpmyadmin
00:40<KyleXY>Kyhwana: argh
00:40<akerl>Does EHCP default to ads in the admin interface?? Or did he set that up manually?
00:40<KyleXY>"First of all, I would like to thank linode and dot5hosting for selling me this excellent server space and excellent domain at a fraction of the cost it would be anywhere else."
00:40<KyleXY>heh
00:40<KyleXY>akerl: my bet is manually
00:40<akerl>Which is so sad
00:40<KyleXY>akerl: I'll spin up a VM on my host to see honestly
00:41<akerl>Don't bother
00:41<akerl>screenshots on echp site show ads
00:41<akerl>http://ehcp.net/sites/default/files/ehcp_add_setup_domain.png
00:41<KyleXY>how much do you want to bet that those are pain in the necks to remove.
00:42<akerl>I wonder how much revenue the dev honestly gets from ads on an admin interface?
00:42<@jed>pains in the neck
00:42<@jed>GRAMMAR PEEVE
00:42<akerl>or s/are/are a/
00:42<KyleXY>jed: :p
00:42<@jed>:>
00:42<akerl>Meh, neck is wrong then too
00:42<KyleXY>jed: It's late, my grammar is the door.

00:43<KyleXY>akerl: already saw
00:43<akerl>Really? My distaste for ehcp was already strong, now it's growing
00:43<KyleXY>akerl: that's how I got to the admincp, heh
00:43*Daevien replies to this his: grab your data, check it for bugs, nuke your linode from orbit
00:43<KyleXY>akerl: It's a copy of cPanel's page, with an ugleh logo

00:44<KyleXY>explains why we have web1.0
00:44<Daevien>KyleXY: he missed the ones about oh, graphics anywhere
00:44<akerl>Daevien: At least there's no midi loops
00:44<KyleXY>Daevien: https://secure.sitelock.com/verify.php?site=www.mtgames.org
00:44<Peng>I hope we're going to respond to that thread instead of just discussing it?
00:44<Daevien>heh
00:45<KyleXY>Daevien: what the heck, "OH GEEZ, MAKE PHONE PUBLIC NAO"
00:45<akerl>Peng: I might just link him to the irc logs
00:45<KyleXY>Peng: ditto, ^^
00:45<Daevien>KyleXY: not to mention they say the site is safe heh. new company to avoid!
00:45<Peng>akerl: Yeah, I was thinkin' that, but was hoping someone else was less lazy
00:45<Daevien>Peng: i think you are in the wrong place if you hope that
00:45<KyleXY>Daevien: http://www.fonefinder.net/findome.php?npa=225&nxx=588&thoublock=4284&usaquerytype=Search+by+Number&cityname=
00:46<Kyhwana>oh and a ftp client on that ehcp page oto
00:46<KyleXY>Daevien: Cingular,
00:46<akerl>It's less laziness and more "I want to scare the shit out of him with how easily we could rip through his stuff
00:47<Daevien>i don't want to get involved. if his linode is that much of a mess, his homepages look like that.. he's pretty new. and i just dont feel like holindg his hand for the next 6 hours :p
00:49<Peng>I posted a link to the logs.
00:50<dwfreed>heh, good luck getting anywhere with my Linode

00:52<Kyhwana>that isn't working properly
00:52<KyleXY>Kyhwana: the list goes on and on
00:52<Daevien>dwfreed: lrn2laugh. it was an intentional thing
00:53<dwfreed>Daevien: i know it was
00:53<Kyhwana>hmm and webmin on 12345 (https)

00:53<Daevien>oy. webmin & a diff cp? definitely need to nuke that from orbit
00:53<akerl>Kyhwana: What IP? I don't see webmin?
00:54<Kyhwana>akerl: the IP he posted in the forum
00:54<Kyhwana>it's over https on 12345
00:54<@jed>ha Ha ha Ha
00:54<akerl>Yea, I see 12345 open, but don't see webmin in chrome
00:54<Kyhwana>hmm
00:54<Kyhwana>it doesn't load, but thats what nmap says
00:54*akerl bets it's not webmin
00:54<Daevien>Kyhwana: fail security scan
00:55<Daevien>just cause it uses a port doesn't mean it's what USUALLY uses the port
00:55<Musfuut>Well nmap just reports what i usually on that port number I believe
00:55<MrGeneral>Daevien: I do not have any auto away messages :P
00:55<Musfuut>so it could be anything on it
00:55<Kyhwana>hmm
00:55<Kyhwana>true
00:55<Daevien>MrGeneral: yeah but you did the brb then back msgs. caker hates those :p
00:55<KyleXY>MrGeneral: prepare to be nuked from orbit.
00:55<akerl>"Server: MiniServ/0.01" ?
00:55<Kyhwana>It is a web server running SSL tho, apparently
00:56<akerl>http://sourceforge.net/projects/miniserv/
00:56<Daevien>that is webmin i think
00:56<akerl>I guess it's just poorly configured webmin. Who bets he installed webmin, then deleted the files?
00:57<Daevien>mtgames dude: if you read this - backup your data, check it over really really good then nuke your linode & check out http://library.linode.com/

01:00<Daevien>they add clutter to the channel and serve no purpose. we really don't care if you are here or idle :p

01:01<Kyhwana>Daevien: haha
01:01<Peng>brb
01:01<akerl>Oh guys, nevermind about the ehcp guy, he's fine.

01:03<Daevien>yeah someone mentioned that before akerl. been a while since i heard of someone runnign a moo/mud/whatever
01:04<Solver>most people don't even know what they are anymore
01:04<Kyhwana>I imagine you could download ehcp 0.29.15 and just diff between that and .4
01:04<Solver>don't forget mush as well :)
01:04<KyleXY>At least thing guy has decent grammar,
01:04<KyleXY>That's a plus, I suppose.
01:04<Musfuut>I know mud but what is moo?
01:05<@jed>I know mud but what is moo?

01:05<Daevien>more object oriented
01:05<@jed>I know mud but what is moo?
01:05<KyleXY>jed: argh, he just said it :p
01:06<Musfuut>Uhoh somebody needs to reboot jed
01:06<Daevien>lets you code objects that do stuff then replicate them, etc. think of minecraft in text i guess?
01:06<KyleXY>Musfuut: broken record, time to replace the memory.
01:06<akerl>Ah! How to escape moo?!
01:06<Daevien>akerl: feed it
01:06<@jed>Do you know mud but what is moo?

01:09<@array>Daevien: hah :)
01:09<Kyhwana>and escape from splicehost?
01:13<Musfuut>I'd love to know what percentage of slicehosters came to linode, went to rackspace, discontinued using vps, went insane, etc.
01:14<@jed>probably the same percentage that know mud but what is moo?
01:16<Musfuut>:)
01:16<@jed>breaking news from linode australia
01:17<akerl>mud but what is moo?
01:17<bob2>jed: don't toy with my emotions like that
01:17<@jed>employees working diligently to uncover the meaning of mud but what is moo?
01:18<@jed>im sorry, that's just one of the oddest phrases I've read on IRC in a while
01:18<Musfuut>:)

01:44<amitz>so.. what's the difference between route and ip route ?
01:44<rlankfo>man ip
01:44<rlankfo>man route
01:45<Peng>amitz: route is part of net-tools; ip is iproute2.
01:45<Peng>amitz: They're completely different pieces of software. iproute2 is cooler.
01:45<dwfreed>amitz: minimal, but ip route can be easier to use at times
01:46<rlankfo>Peng: good to know...
01:46<amitz>can the content be conflicting?
01:46<dwfreed>The content should be the same
01:46<amitz>or they edit the same underlying table?
01:46<@jed>man mud
01:46<@jed>man moo
01:46<dwfreed>They do
01:46<Defenestrator>Flexibility, mostly
01:46<Defenestrator>ip route can do more
01:47<Peng>amitz: They're both frontends to...kernel...stuff...
01:47<Defenestrator>"route" just manipulates the single routing table in certain specific very standard ways
01:47<amitz>I notice that I can do, for example, a delete an entry of ip route twice but not on route. Where is the real table, so to speak?
01:48<@jed>ip is a chainsaw, ifconfig/route are rubber mallets
01:48<Defenestrator>The iproute2 tools are considerably more flexible, but very Linux-specific (and usually not necessary for basic "getting your host online" routing
01:48<amitz>when I was messing with them.

01:49<dwfreed>amitz: the kernel maintains the routing table, and that's what route and ip route edit
01:50<amitz>which one of the kernel routing table is assumed to be more accuracte? route's or ip route's? or maybe there is a direct way to see the routing table?
01:50<dwfreed>ifconfig's way of adding and showing IPv4 addresses is silly and should be fixed
01:50<amitz>one of the method
01:50<dwfreed>amitz: route and ip route edit the same table
01:50<dwfreed>They just show it differently
01:51<Defenestrator>Well, not entirely true. route edits a table, ip route edits all of them
01:51<bob2>all/some of them

01:55<Defenestrator>bob2: yeah... US is short on time, but APNIC's out
01:55<Solver>as in yesterday they talked about their experiences on IPv6 day
01:56<Kyhwana>You can only get a single /22 out of APNIC now and that's it. I think.

02:00<Kyhwana>Defenestrator: yep
02:00<Defenestrator>hopefully IPv6 Week will hurry that along a bit
02:00<Kyhwana>We had a first, an ISP rolled out v6 for all their DSl customers recently
02:00<Defenestrator>cool

02:01<Solver>a talk yesterday said that france has 3.4%
02:01<Defenestrator>Heh, now that I think about it, the firmware on my router doesn't support Ipv6
02:01<Defenestrator>Yeah, free.fr has been really aggressive about rolling it out I think
02:01<Kyhwana>Defenestrator: yep, you'll be buying a new one
02:02<Kyhwana>which will be slowing ipv6 adoption down :(
02:02<Kyhwana>I haven't seen any ipv6 residential routers for sale here yet
02:02<Defenestrator>or flashing a new firmware, but it's 100Mbps and 802.11G (not N) so I'm due for a replacement anyways
02:02<Defenestrator>Really? I assumed most of the 802.11N ones supported IPv6
02:02<Kyhwana>Defenestrator: is there a firmware out for it that does v6? (that isn't ddwrt, cya)
02:02<Kyhwana>Defenestrator: hell no

02:17<Defenestrator>Presumably with DD-WRT as well
02:17<Peng>I always find the DD-WRT IPv6 shell scripts somewhat horrifying.
02:18<Defenestrator>I think DD-WRT charges money for the firmware for the Ubiquiti stuff or it'd probably be good
02:20<dwfreed>Peng: I found one that isn't too bad
02:20<Peng>I was just lookin' at http://forums.buffalotech.com/t5/Wireless/WZR-HP-G300NH-and-IPv6/td-p/27632
02:20<Peng>(a script)
02:21<Peng>Honestly, it's really not *that* scary
02:21<Peng>Most of the yuckiness is in collecting the IPv4 IP.
02:22<dwfreed>That one is rather yucky
02:28<dwfreed>Peng: check out this script: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/467569/ it's not quite as yucky (read all the comments, I've added some of my own)
02:29<@heckman>Why is there no shebang?
02:31<@heckman>I wrote a gnarly BASH script for updating my tunnel broker external IPv4 address.
02:31<@heckman>I actually went a bit too far on it.
02:31*dwfreed thinks it's because it's 1) designed to be a startup script, so is already parsed as a shell script, and 2) DD-WRT runs everything with sh -c, it seems
02:31*dwfreed just failed at grammar

02:34<@heckman>As mentioned earlier I use an old netbook as my IPv6 router. The damn thing boots so fast with SSD the init scripts run before eth0 finishes coming up using static addresses.
02:35<@heckman>It took me a bit to figure out why Radvd was failing at boot after switching to SSD. It was exiting early because it saw no eth0.

02:35<@heckman>Nothing that I needed to write. Was because the OS was booting so fast.
02:36<dwfreed>heckman: the init script for radvd should depend on networking, and thus shouldn't be started until the networking script has finished; gentoo does it right, debian should too
02:36<Kyhwana>whoops
02:36<@heckman>Yeah well Debian was finished before networking was up.

04:04<Alan>my first ever > 1-year uptime!
04:04<akerl>Alan: That's bad.
04:04<Alan> 08:04:52 up 412 days, 10:59, 18 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00
04:05<akerl>No reboots = no kernel updates
04:05<Alan>akerl: on linode?
04:05<Daevien>no space /ram updates either.
04:05<@heckman>^
04:05<akerl>On anything without ksplice or similar
04:05<Alan>well i can't remember how kernels work on linode
04:06<Alan>except they're not managed inside the VPS?
04:06<Daevien>i'm convinced uptime is a stat just to seperate the wannabes from the professionals ;)
04:06<akerl>They're chosen in the linode manager.
04:06<Daevien>managed outside the node, but still need to boot the node to be started
04:06<akerl>But just like any other linux anywhere else, they don't update unless you reboot
04:06<Alan>ah, i see
04:06<Alan>the dashboard says -39, the server says -32
04:07<akerl>Alan: Paste the full kernel version?
04:07<Alan>my last reboot was during a server OS upgrade(reinstallation)
04:07<Alan> 2.6.32.12-linode25
04:07<Daevien>god. so the next time you do reboot half your linode could burst into flames. thats the other bad part :p
04:07<Alan>that's from uname
04:08<Tea>Alan: What's your image?
04:08<Tea>I imagine you've installed a kernel update
04:08<akerl>What distro?
04:08<akerl>Tea: Installed? What difference would that make?
04:08<Tea>No wait, you won't have an image... nevermind

04:14<Bartzy>Hi
04:14<Bartzy>anyone is using flipper here with linodes ?
04:15<Bartzy>I'm trying to "inform" all my linodes on the private network that an internal private IP address changed linodes (and hence MAC address) via arping.
04:15<Bartzy>But for some reason it takes a lot of time for the other linodes to "understand" that it has changed, and until then the old MAC is in the arp cache and there's no communication...
04:16<Bartzy>Linode's network is blocking broadcasts on the private network or something ?
04:18<Daevien>gee really? no idea why they'd do that *rolls eyes*

04:23<@heckman>:x
04:23<Bartzy>heckmannnn
04:23<Daevien>heckman: all sorts of stuff
04:23<@heckman>Ye?
04:23<Bartzy>Do you guys block broadcasts on the private network somehow ?
04:23<Alan>the same thing we do with 16GB linodes, only more?
04:23<vraa_>then i could use php prefork?
04:24<dwfreed>heckman: run the root partition from a ramdisk :)
04:24<@heckman>Bartzy: I believe so. Wouldn't be cool to allow arp-based attacks on the private network.
04:24<Alan>speaking of space ... i should probably fix mine
04:24<Bartzy>I try to let my linodes know that an IP has changed hosts on the private network.. so I use arping -U ... but the ARP request doesn't even go through.
04:24<Alan>i'm running my linode in 8GB
04:24<Bartzy>heckman: So how can I "inform" my linodes that an IP has changed ? :[
04:24<akerl>Bartzy: Tell them directly?
04:24<Daevien>Bartzy: apaprently my sarcastic reponse wasn't good enough. would you really want everyone broadcasting shit in a private subnet? no...
04:24<Alan>because when i reinstalled, the limit was 16GB and I decided to install the new OS on a new disk image and mount the old one in the new one for transferring stuff..
04:24<Bartzy>I can ask linode to allow my own IPs in the private network to broadcast ?
04:24<Bartzy>akerl: How ?
04:25<Bartzy>akerl: Connect to each one ? It's not feasible and a bad solution when you had 20 servers
04:25<Bartzy>s/had/have
04:25<Daevien>why would your internal ips change?
04:25<Kyhwana>because they ran out!
04:25<@heckman>Wouldn't a simple ping to each one do the needful? (I'm on no sleep, so I could be wrong)
04:25<Bartzy>Daevien: mysql master/master VIP
04:25<akerl>Bartzy: Linode is unlikely to make an exception for you. And thus "pull out my megaphone and shout to the whole DC" is not happening.
04:26<akerl>So you need to find a targetted solution
04:26<Bartzy>heckman: No, because the MAC address of the old interface is still in the arp table of each host.
04:26<dwfreed>Bartzy: flush your ARP tables?
04:26<Bartzy>dwfreed: That means I need to connect to each one of my hosts
04:26<akerl>I'm still not seeing how your mysql replication is causing a single node's private IP to change...

04:26<dwfreed>Bartzy: just run it as a cron job every hour or so
04:27<Bartzy>How everyone here is doing it ? I'm sure other people need heartbit/mysql/web VIP cluster solution in linode ?
04:27<Bartzy>dwfreed: I need it immediately...
04:27<@ericoc>wait, what's changing constantly?
04:27<Daevien>ericoc: his internal ips apparently
04:27<@ericoc>sorry if i'm late to the game
04:27<dwfreed>like akerl, I'm not sure why your internal ips are changing, Bartzy
04:28<akerl>ericoc: I think he means that he is failing over his servers, and so each node's private IP stays constant, but the node which he wants to connect to is changing
04:28<Bartzy>akerl: I have an IP that's floating between the two masters. Only one master is active at any given time. My application only talks to MySQL through the floating IP. When needed, I can change the
04:28<Bartzy>Isorry
04:28<akerl>Private IPs float?
04:28<Bartzy>When needed, I can swap the active/passive masters, and configure the floating IP on the previously passive (now active) master. Now the app talks to the new active master.
04:29<Bartzy>akerl: Correct. Each node has its own private IP, but I asked linode for an additional private IP to serve as the "floating" IP.
04:30<akerl>I feel like the real solution is to make your other servers HA aware, and have them switch to the 2nd server if the first does not respond.
04:30<Bartzy>I don't want my application to know about the 2 servers. I want it to only talk to 1 IP. That IP has to be configured on one of the masters at any given time. A script connect to the needed master and adds this floating IP to it if I need it to be active.
04:30<Bartzy>akerl: That's a bad idea in my opinion...
04:30<Daevien>akerl: i remember this talk before. he wants it done a certain way and refuses to look at other options
04:30<Bartzy>akerl: And doing this "cluster" thing with the floating IP is much better.
04:30<akerl>Bartzy: "better" in that it doesn't work?
04:30<Daevien>except it doesn't work
04:30<Daevien>^5 akerl
04:30<dwfreed>Bartzy: just use a DNS name that you change to the regular private IP of the new master, and set the TTL to an insanely low value (you'll need to use your own DNS server as linode's doesn't support TTL's lower than 5 minutes)
04:31<@heckman>People do floating *public* IP addresses...I can't think of any situations offhand whether privs are floated. I could just not be aware of them.
04:31<Bartzy>I don't want the other servers to switch to the 2nd server if the 1st doesn't respond. I want a manual failover.
04:31<dwfreed>Bartzy: use my suggestion then
04:31<Bartzy>Really no one is using flipper here ?
04:31<Daevien>which defeats the whole purpose of having HA if you ahve to be there to do the flip
04:31<Bartzy>It's very common in master/master scenarios :\
04:32<akerl>Bartzy: Obviously not.
04:32<akerl>dwfreed: Even if linode's DNS allowed lower TTL, I'd still say to run a private ns, to avoid publishing private IPs and info on the public nameserver
04:32<Bartzy>Daevien: Actually most of the gurus in mysql are using a manual failover. automated HA in MySQL is a real pain, and often doesn't work.

04:33<Bartzy>akerl: sec

04:34<Bartzy>akerl: But you still need the virtual IP and seeing that replication works, locking and some stuff in order to switch to a new active master. That's were flipper comes in. Very handy

04:34<Daevien>yay

04:35<Bartzy>yeah, sorry.

04:37<Bartzy>OK. thanks
04:37<Bartzy>I'll ask another question - anyone here have a HA solution for MySQL on his linodes ?

05:01<Peng>dwfreed: Fun with a Python loop and my zone file.
05:01<MrGeneral>I'll just create a subdomain
05:01<Peng>dcraig: I figure there's always a technical reason: "Maybe I'll have a technical reason in the future."
05:02<dcraig>if google cares about whether your wiki is in a directory or exists as a subdomain, they've lost their way in the world
05:02<Peng>dcraig: It'd be a pain to have to move it and set up a redirect if you ever want to, say, move it to its own node.
05:02<dcraig>that's like a 2-line rewrite rule

05:03<MrGeneral>Peng: yes that's right though
05:03<MrGeneral>I'll just go for subdomain :P
05:03<AlexC_>dcraig: + time to do the actual move :)
05:03<Peng>dcraig: Yeah, but you might have to fix some hardcoded URL in the wiki configuration, and you'll want to fix all the inbound links, and changing URLs is ugly.
05:03<dcraig>maybe each wiki page should have a subdomain
05:04<dcraig>what if a particular page gets popular?
05:04<dwfreed>And the ability to have a separate access log is an advantage of a subdomain (grep is nice, but access logs can be huge)
05:04<AlexC_>dcraig: in that case you'd give up on subdomains and instead just buy domains that are the content of your wiki page
05:05<dcraig>whatever. enjoy your subdomains. :p
05:05<MrGeneral>dwfreed: yeah
05:05<dwfreed>Now that'd be interesting...
05:05<MrGeneral>I'll just get google analytics and adsense @ the wiki, so... <.<
05:06<Peng>AlexC_: No, then you'd have to buy a TLD to have full control over the DNS in case you'll ever need to do something there. Better to use subdomains.

06:22*heckman slaps marius around a bit with a large cactus
06:23<amitz>tac is the reverse of the word car, tac function is basically the reverse of cat, spouting lines from top to bottom vs from bottom to top.
06:23<@heckman>car?
06:23<@heckman>rac
06:24*amitz slaps heckman with ...something
06:25<marius>Oh I get that cat is tac backwards, I just don't know the context :P
06:25<marius>nvm, I think I get it
06:25<marius>tac'ing a file xD
06:26<Bartzy>anyway to open a TCP port and print to the socket something besides echo "something" | nc hostname 5555 ?
06:26<bob2>why do you want a different way
06:27<Bartzy>Anyway to do it for multiple hosts in one command ?
06:27<bob2>to do what
06:27<Bartzy>to echo something to hostname-01 and hostname-02 in port 5555.
06:27<bob2>for loop
06:28<Bartzy>I need to do it with sudo, I want to enable only one command
06:28<AlexC_>Bartzy: do what with sudo?
06:28<Bartzy>That echo & nc command. Please don't ask why. I'm forced to

06:29<bob2>heh
06:29<Bartzy>it runs automatically through sudo, because that's part of a service I use
06:29<bob2>you're using some iptables uid check?
06:29<Bartzy>no.
06:29<Bartzy>I don't really need it to run as sudo
06:29<bob2>then why does nc need sudo?
06:29-!-mitcheljh [~4c54e170@chat.linode.com] has joined #linode
06:29<Bartzy>however it does. I can change it only if I change a 3rd-party service.
06:30<Bartzy>Which I really don't want, so I prefer to just let it run with sudo. But only that.
06:30<bob2>I love questions with secret unexplained constraints!
06:30<Alan>haha
06:30<Bartzy>bob2: I explained it
06:30<bob2>anyway
06:30<AlexC_>Bartzy: so just do a for loop and use sudo on the nc?
06:30<bob2>write a shellscript that does this
06:30<Bartzy>bob2: Good idea, thanks.
06:30<Alan>sounds like he's depending on software from a 3rd-party vendor that simply shouldn't be allowed near a computer
06:31<mikegrb_>mmm cake
06:31<AlexC_>Bartzy: for foo in foo bar car; do echo "cake" | sudo nc cake; done
06:31<bob2>though, spoiler alert, if you're calling some software on nix "3rd party" it's because it iwas written and packaged by morons
06:31<Bartzy>heh
06:31<Bartzy>thanks
06:32<@heckman>Won't that for loop pause until the "nc" command quits?
06:32<bob2>yes
06:32<bob2>unless you put it in the background ha ha

07:41<AlexC_>maybe I'm biased because I code it a lot, but I prefer coding in Bash to Python for those tasks

07:41<amitz>less complicated building blocks
07:41<AlexC_>amitz: but those things are made up in Python, a long with a hell of a lot more
07:43<amitz>AlexC_: but simpler, the concepts python used. Nevertheless, I still haven't grasped the whole language yet -_-

08:54<amitz>Peng: I wish I can help you one day... most of your questions are beyond me ;-)
08:54<Peng>HoopyCat: What's that do?
08:55<StevenK>Peng: Ctrl-S == STOP
08:55<HoopyCat>amitz: i believe it can properly work as a normal user
08:55<StevenK>Peng: Ctrl-Q == GO
08:55<StevenK>Peng: Add Ctrl-A if you're in screen, otherwise screen eats it
08:55<HoopyCat>Peng: it's like a normal ctrl-q (XON), but sent to screen
08:55<Peng>I don't know what a normal Ctrl+Q is either. In any case, it didn't help.
08:56<HoopyCat>Peng: sudo reboot
08:56<StevenK>Haha
08:56<Alan>om nom control characters
08:56<HoopyCat>Peng: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_flow_control ... it's how we do it when we only have three wires
08:57<Peng>I got impatient and did Ctrl+A k (kill the window).
08:57<Peng>Which interestingly preserved shell history, so apparently it wasn't a kill -9.
08:57<praetorian>theres your problem
08:57<praetorian>you are using screen.. switch to tmux
08:58<praetorian>but i agree with what StevenK said
08:58<praetorian>ive done ctrl s instead of ctrl a many times
08:58<Peng>...Less positively, I had opened that shell when my HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE were shorter... Ah well.
08:58<Peng>praetorian: This was specifically from accidentally using the scroll wheel, not accidentally hitting Ctrl+S.

12:01<Guspaz>Right, and you didn't provide that information. I'd suggest getting an mtr report from both you and your friend and submitting that to linode. If it's a routing issue affecting both of you, then it may be a problem with one of Linode's upstream providers.
12:01<WormFood>actually, I wasn't looking to point fingers, I was simply looking to get my report for the return trip.
12:01<Guspaz>There's an mtr command here that might help with that.
12:01<Guspaz>!mtr
12:01<linbot>mtr combines the functionality of traceroute and ping into one easy to use tool, and the output can be useful for determining where the source of a problem is. It can be downloaded from http://www.bitwizard.nl/mtr/ or http://winmtr.sourceforge.net/ for Windows. MTR summaries can be retrieved in-channel using the command !mtr-CITY where CITY is fremont, atlanta, newark, dallas or london.
12:02<WormFood>however, you seem so quick to jump in there, and point fingers, like you know what exactly is going on, and I haven't even given any technical details.
12:02<Guspaz>!mtr-newark guspaz.ath.cx
12:02<linbot>Guspaz: [mtr] guspaz.ath.cx: 9 hops, no loss, last hop average RTT was 30.9ms
12:02<Guspaz>Something like that, you should be able to get an mtr report from one of linode's DCs back to you.
12:02<WormFood>I see what you mean
12:02<Guspaz>Although details might have been nice.
12:02<WormFood>let me give it a try
12:02<Guspaz>details from MTR, I mean, not you.
12:02<Guspaz>rather than just a summary.
12:03<WormFood>I wasn't looking to trouble shoot the ping loss...I just wanted to see if it was taking the same path back....actually, I know where the problem is
12:03<WormFood>!mtr-fremont 124.14.214.91
12:03<Guspaz>Yeah, mtr would normally do that, but the linbot version seems to only provide a summary.
12:03<WormFood>right
12:03<linbot>WormFood: [mtr] 124.14.214.91: 11 hops, 219.158.25.25: 40.0%/261.3ms, 219.158.3.197: 60.0%/271.1ms, 219.158.12.17: 40.0%/271.1ms, 219.158.19.78: 40.0%/262.5ms, ???: 100.0%/0.0ms, 120.80.198.218: 80.0%/291.1ms, ???: 100.0%/0.0ms (urmom)

12:04<Guspaz>Ah, looks like it might be giving you the lossy hops on the return path.
12:04<linbot>WormFood: [mtr] 124.14.214.91: 20 hops, ???: 100.0%/0.0ms, ???: 100.0%/0.0ms, ???: 100.0%/0.0ms, ???: 100.0%/0.0ms, 124.14.214.91: 20.0%/255.6ms
12:04<WormFood>it is giving me nearly 70% packet loss both ways
12:04<Peng>WormFood: For what it's worth, since the mtr bot can be hard to read, you can probably find someone here to run an mtr from a node and pastebin it.
12:04<WormFood>or so it appears to also have a similar amount of packet loss on the return trip
12:04<Guspaz>I can do an mtr for you from newark, but not fremont.
12:05<WormFood>!mtr-london 124.14.214.91
12:05<linbot>WormFood: timed out
12:05<WormFood>my linode is in fremont, and I see that the newark NOC is also generating packet loss.

12:08<Guspaz>I'll PM you an MTR report from newark.
12:08<WormFood>thanks Guspaz
12:08<Guspaz>http://p.linode.com/5735
12:09<Guspaz>Looks like it's wrapping there, sorry about that.
12:09<WormFood>I've left mtr running for days, and it seems over the long term the average packet loss is under 10%...but some times, like now, it is about 70% (I have 2 MTRs running to my 2 IPs...one is at about 71% loss, and the other is about 66-67% loss)
12:09<Guspaz>The problem seems to be somewhere between sym.gdsz.cncnet.net and your final IP (there are some hidden hops there). You've got zero packetloss right up until that sym address.
12:10<Guspaz>Ignore the chinanetcom address, since an intermediate host with packetloss that has no packetloss after that is probably just deprioritizing pings or something.
12:10<WormFood>hhhmmm....interesting
12:10<Guspaz>Although hmm it only took 10 samples per address.
12:10<WormFood>the ones that won't resolve, are 10.xxxx addresses....yeah, I have a shit isp

12:11-!-wkl [~wkl@114.112.47.86] has quit [Quit: wkl]
12:11<Guspaz>Running mtr ongoing, I'm only seeing packetloss to the last hop, and not that much to it (lost one ping out of 48 so far)
12:11<WormFood>because that looks exactly like my report, but in reverse
12:12<Guspaz>Wait, no, I'm misreading that, it lost more than one.
12:13<Guspaz>Do you only have packetloss to linode, or to everything? It's hard to tell with those missing hops, but it almost looks like the problem is the last mile.
12:13<WormFood>http://p.linode.com/5736
12:13<Guspaz>No packetloss to the last host I can see, and then some packetloss on the last host period (you).
12:14-!-burningdog [~roger@41.138.71.115] has joined #linode
12:14<WormFood>well, from my point of view, the problem looks like it is the last mile to my linode
12:14<WormFood>take a look at my paste
12:14<Guspaz>You're getting 35% packetloss to your home router...
12:14<WormFood>yeah, I just noticed that.
12:14<Peng>WiFi?
12:15<Guspaz>It'd have to be a pretty bad wifi signal to get 35% packetloss :P
12:15<WormFood>no, actually it is wired
12:15<WormFood>it appears that someone is trying to syn flood me...perhaps that packet loss is related to that.

12:19<Peng>Milli: Apparently not.
12:19<Peng>Milli: What's up? You might want to post on the forum, or, if it's more immediate, file a ticket.
12:19<Guspaz>There are, since three quarters of all Linode employees are here, but a ticket is more likely to get a definite response.
12:20<Peng>Well, yes, here, but not here *right now*.
12:20<Guspaz>caker is always here. He doesn't sleep.
12:21<WormFood>this is rather curious...when I do an MTR to my router, I get zero packet loss....but when it is in the middle, it gets much more...one MTR is showing 50% packet loss to my router. I wonder if it is doing something goofy (but I'm pretty sure it isn't the root of this particular problem)
12:22<WormFood>496 packets transmitted, 150 received, 69% packet loss, time 495000ms <-- from my server back to my house
12:22<WormFood>usually "69" is good...but not in this case
12:22<Guspaz>heh
12:23<Guspaz>I'm stumped, my only suggestion would be perhaps a trouble ticket if the problem is isolated to linode. The fact that it affects more than one Linode datacenter indicates a more widespread problem, though, since each datacenter has different upstream providers with no particular relation to eachother.
12:23-!-jameswilson [~Adium@200.2.130.136] has joined #linode
12:25<WormFood>the problem is between chinaunicom/chinatelecom/chinawhoever and the rest of the world. Someone was saying they wanted to have face-to-face meetings for their peering agreements...and who the hell wants to fly to China for that?
12:26<Guspaz>I mean, to dallas I go through Level3, to newark I go through NAC, to fremont I go through HE, to atlanta I go through nlayer, to london I go through pccwbtn...
12:27<Guspaz>Well, in the case of chinatelecom I had heard that they saturated their uplinks to the rest of the world and just don't give a shit about getting sufficient capacity.
12:27<WormFood>right, but the problem seems to be in China
12:27<WormFood>but sometimes, my friend in Indonesia also has problem....but I don't think she is having problems right this instant.
12:28<Guspaz>It may be a totally unrelated issue that sometimes occurs at the same time
12:28<WormFood>when she had problems, I was able to get her to connect to my other IP, and it was able to work that way
12:28<WormFood>it is hard to say for sure. There seems to be common problems sometimes
12:28<WormFood>I think most of the time we have different problems
12:29<WormFood>obviously it is rather frustrating
12:29<Guspaz>Indonesia is relatively close to china, are you sure her ISP isn't buying transit from chinatelecom or something? :P
12:29<WormFood>the problem is, my girlfriend paid for a year of internet service through this company
12:29<WormFood>I think that is highly unlikely, although entirely possible
12:30<WormFood>she moved out of her old apartment, and into my apartment, but they couldn't move the internet there....now we moved again, and they can put this internet in the new apartment....so now she dropped the DSL connection, which is what we paid for before.
12:31<WormFood>I did not have this many problems when I was testing this...and I didn't have this many problems when I had DSL either....this is just downright shitty.
12:31<WormFood>when I was testing this = the new internet connection (the one I'm using now)
12:31<Guspaz>There has been various research on coping with packetloss via things like forward error correction and data redundancy, perhaps there's some practical solution that produces a packetloss-resistant tunnel.
12:32<WormFood>my vpn uses udp, and I can't even connect to that, the packet loss is so high
12:32<Guspaz>Your throughput will obviously be worse, but that might be a valid tradeoff.
12:32<WormFood>well, high latency is better than infinite latency
12:34<Guspaz>An interesting turnkey solution, but not helpful for you: http://www.brianmadden.com/blogs/brianmadden/archive/2010/05/21/does-ipeak-hold-the-secret-to-making-pc-over-ip-good-on-the-wan.aspx

12:35<Guspaz>Apparently they do have software-only solutions, but probably super expensive.
12:36<WormFood>interesting
12:36<WormFood>but tcp should be able to cope with the high packet loss, but it does not
12:38<Guspaz>Well, it can cope with it, but much more than a small amount of packetloss has a catastrophic impact on performance. It has to wait a while to realize a packet was lost, and then request retransmission, and if the retransmission request (well, the fact it didn't ack the data) is lost, more problems...
12:38<Peng>TCP can cope with a pretty decent amount of packet loss, but 65+% is pushing it.
12:38<WormFood>well, I see something called "SmartTunnel"...trying to find out more about it...it may be what I want.
12:40<WormFood>but maybe that is a cisco thing...not sure
12:40<Guspaz>Sure, but 65% packetloss can probably be reduced sufficiently to let TCP cope with what's left with the right packetloss-resistant tunnel.
12:41<Peng>Would something as simple as sending every packet twice work?
12:41<WormFood>unlikely
12:42<WormFood>I think that could get kinda messy actually
12:42<Peng>Why?
12:42<Guspaz>It'd be a first step, but it'd help. In practice, you'd want to break the data up into smaller chunks, interleave the chunks and multiple redundant copies of each chunk, and then cope with loss using forward error correction. This seems to be essentially how that IPeak company's stuff works.
12:43<Guspaz>This (minus the redundancy, it purely relies on interleaving and FEC) is essentially how DSL handles lossy lines.
12:43-!-melz [~melz@jubilee.melz.org] has quit [Quit: WeeChat 0.3.4]
12:44<Guspaz>65% is pretty extreme by any standard, though, and the throughput reduction you're going to take to make that somewhat reliable will be rather high.

12:48<WormFood>I'm not sure how well it would handle it...it should work ok, but who knows for sure without trying it?
12:48<Guspaz>You could probably hack up the linux kernel's TCP driver to try it :P
12:49<WormFood>I need my server to be accessible from China...maybe I need to look into getting another server in another part of the world :(
12:49<Guspaz>Preferably in china.
12:49<WormFood>hahahaha
12:49<Guspaz>You normally want to be on that side of the great firewall anyhow.
12:49<WormFood>good idea, except for the fact that I run a VPN server on my linode
12:50<Guspaz>ah, well, get the server in china and then establish the VPN between it and your linode for your own personal use.
12:50<WormFood>for having a web site inside of China, for China, I strongly suggest people not to use my server. I suggest they get a server inside of China
12:50<WormFood>well, this isn't for personal use. I'm actually selling VPN service.
12:50<Guspaz>Ah.
12:51<WormFood>the sucky thing about running a VPN server, is unless you use compression, you get double the bandwidth....for every gig they download, it is 2 gigs through my server :(
12:51<Guspaz>Perhaps one day linode will stop counting inbound traffic.
12:52<WormFood>hahaha...I doubt that would ever happen...that is where they make a lot of money
12:52<WormFood>notice you get no price breaks for high bandwidth?
12:52<Guspaz>Well, most people don't use much inbound traffic, and they probably don't pay for it since transit commits are normally symmetrical.
12:52<Guspaz>You sort of do get price breaks, though.
12:52<hawk>Well, I would think Linode has a pretty heavy inbalance inbound vs outbound... But that's just me guessing
12:52<WormFood>fortunately, they don't usually charger for going over your allotted bandwidth, as long as you're not going crazy
12:53<Guspaz>If you pre-purchase 100GB chunks, they give you a cheaper price, and they're open to negotiation for discounts on very large amounts.
12:53*Peng 's transfer usage is symmetrical \o/
12:54*JshWright 's usage is mostly on the private network
12:54<WormFood>really Peng? Mine has slightly more outbound than inbound.
12:54<WormFood>Incoming: 204 GB Outgoing: 218 GB
12:55<hawk>That's pretty close
12:55<WormFood>when I buy more bandwidth, is it allotted based on what is used, or does it have to be in 100 gig chunks? In other words, if I go over my limit by 20 gig, will I still have 80 gig in reserve?
12:55<Peng>I forget the exact figures, but I'm within 2%.
12:56<Peng>Oh hey, I hit 200 GB for the month today. New record. I think.
12:56<WormFood>heh
12:57<WormFood>get some torrents on your box, you'll hit 200 gig in a few days...maybe a few hours
12:57<Peng>I was like 198 GB last month.
12:58<WormFood>if I have unused bandwidth, I'll use it to seed torrents to keep up my ratio....hell, I'll even download things I'm not interested in, if I think it will be popular, just to keep my ratio good
12:59<WormFood>if you're using your server to seed torrents, to use up bandwidth, and get a good ratio...then I strongly suggest porn...it is, without a doubt, the best ratio builder.
12:59<Peng>I tried that once. In 2009. It crashed my node. That was UML, but I've been afraid of BitTorrent ever since. :P
12:59<hawk>:>
12:59<WormFood>I've crashed my linode before from too many torrents (or was it too fast?)
12:59<WormFood>but only once
12:59<JshWright>Despite averaging 250 kb/s on my newark node, my usage for today so far is 300kB
13:00<Peng>Actually, I have a node I'm not doing anything with, so I could use it for BitTorrent. Maybe.
13:00<Peng>That is, since I wouldn't be bothered by crashing it.
13:00<Guspaz>There are two ways to buy more bandwidth at linode. Either a-la-carte (pay for it as you use it), which is $0.15 per gigabyte. Or you can buy 100GB chunks for $10/mth, and you pay if you use it or not.
13:00<WormFood>Peng, it is not a bad idea, if you have the bandwidth to spare
13:00<Guspaz>But since linodes themselves come with $0.10/GB, the smarter solution is to simply buy a bigger linode.
13:01<Guspaz>Example: A $20 linode 512 comes with 200GB, a $30 linode 768 comes with 300GB, so a $20 linode with 100GB extra makes no sense.
13:01<WormFood>well, except for the fact, that it costs me $20 to upgrade
13:01<Guspaz>You're on a 1024 and the next step up is 1536?
13:01<hawk>Guspaz: Unless you hate RAM and disk space
13:01<WormFood>yes Guspaz, however I'm at the $20 break in prices, so if I only need 100 gig more, I'm better off to just pay for it, than to upgrade
13:01<Guspaz>or 1536 -> 2048?
13:01<Guspaz>ah
13:02<WormFood>I get 400 gig of bandwidth a month with my linode
13:02<Guspaz>hawk: How could anybody hate RAM and disk space?
13:02<Guspaz>I wish I had more disk space. A lot more.
13:02<Peng>hawk: You don't *have* to assign all your RAM or disk space to your node. :D
13:02<Guspaz>Our design department wants a file dump for collaboration, but our linode's disk is just too tiny.
13:02<WormFood>as I've been saying for many, many, many years....there are 3 things you will never do with your computer....1) you will never have a computer that is "too fast"...2) You will never have "too much ram"....3) You will never have "too much hard drive space"
13:02<Peng>Guspaz: But S3's disk is juuust right.
13:03<Guspaz>Peng: POSIX mounting of S3 isn't all that reliable
13:03<WormFood>what do you mean, by a "file dump"?
13:03<WormFood>do you want to copy off all the files from your linode, but don't have the space to make the tarball?
13:03<Guspaz>They want an FTP or SFTP server that they can upload/download files from. Mostly photoshop, indesign, illustrator, that sort of stuff.
13:03<hawk>Guspaz: Well, there's always there people who can't like what everyone else likes...
13:04<WormFood>oh...I see what you mean
13:04<WormFood>why do people still want to use ftp? Shit! it pre-dates TCP/IP
13:04<Guspaz>They're willing to use SFTP, but the protocol isn't the issue. The lack of space is.
13:04<Guspaz>If Linode offered a slow-but-cheap SAN option, I'd be sure to take it.
13:04<WormFood>sftp, scp...that is good
13:05<WormFood>"if I send you a hard drive, can you attach it to my linode"....hahahaha

13:07<WormFood>sounds like a deal to me
13:08<WormFood>when I left USA, the largest hard drive I owned was 500 gig...now the largest hard drive I own is 2000 gig

13:13<WormFood>but I did have a hard drive, by the late 1980s....I got a rather "large" (at the time) 70 meg drive....most people only had 20 and 40 meg drives at the time.
13:14<WormFood>it was also physically large, as it was a 5 1/4" full height drive....sounded like a jet about to take off when it spins up

13:15<WormFood>and speaking of hard drives, you'll like this. I scanned this in out of a magazine I bought, back in the 1980s. http://wormfood.net/hard_drive.jpg "the price war is over!" don't bother trying to find a better price, because the price war is OVER!
13:15<WormFood>5 meg hard drives, only $995 (not including controller)
13:16<Guspaz>heh
13:16<Guspaz>Before we owned our own computer, I did use a lot of Apple IIs and early macs (before they had HDDs), lots of booting off floppy disks.

13:17<WormFood>and one day I got to work, and I could barely get in the door, because of all the computer equipment my boss had bought....he though he was getting a good deal, to buy all this ancient stuff....it had a hard drive, the size of a washing machine. It used an external 230 volt motor, with a belt drive to the platters....the hard drive was 5 MEG!
13:17<WormFood>this is no exaggeration, it was about the size of a washing machine, or a dish washer
13:18<WormFood>I still have some 8" floppy drives, back in USA....those are freaking huge
13:18<WormFood>and I have a box, of new 5 1/4" HARD sectored floppies....ever seen those before?
13:19<Guspaz>don't think so, only the floppy 5.25" and 8" ones
13:19<WormFood>well, it is a normal 5 1/4" floppy, except for the index hole
13:19<WormFood>in addition to the index hole, it also has an additional 16 or so holes for the sectors
13:21<WormFood>you'd never notice it, if you didn't spin the disk, and look at the index hole opening....a commodore or apple 2 computer could have used it, because those didn't use the index hole....but when I formatted it in my computer, it formatted a spiral track, because every sector it thought the disk had gone around, so it moved to the next track

13:21<dan>i need to find
13:22<WormFood>a question?
13:22<dan>someone to help with mysql and wordpress
13:22<Guspaz>!ask
13:22<linbot>If you have a question, please just ask it. Don't look for topic experts. Don't ask to ask. Don't PM! Don't ask if people are awake, or in the mood to help. Just ask the question straight out.
13:22<dan>sorry. I need someone to help me with a mysql problem and wordpress on our linode server
13:22<WormFood>you might get better help from a mysql or wordpress specific channel....but feel free to ask here, as there are many smart people here
13:23<Guspaz>Or post on the forums
13:24<AlexC_>dan: you're going to have to actually ask a question
13:24<AlexC_>right now, the only advise I can give is: have you turned it off and back on again?

13:28<WormFood>while it is obvious that you want to fix this problem, your skills are not obvious to us, so why don't you tell us what you want help with. You STILL haven't actually asked a question yet :P

13:30<dan>service mysql status returns "mysql stop/waiting"
13:30<dan>i am a new to ubuntu
13:30<WormFood>I'm new to ubuntu too
13:30<WormFood>but I'm not new to Linux
13:31<WormFood>actually, I don't use ubuntu, but I've set it up for a few people.
13:31<dan>i am limited in linux knowledge i have rebooted the server several times and contacted linode support
13:32<WormFood>do you want to be a Linux admin?
13:32<dan>i would like help from a linux admin assisting me in finding a way to solve the current problem and than go forward and learn
13:33-!-wkl [~wkl@114.112.47.86] has joined #linode
13:33<WormFood>well, it sounds to me like you need an admin to do it for you, then teach you how to admin a Linux server :P Sorry, I don't mean to sound harsh
13:34<dan>no you are not and that is exactly what i need
13:34<WormFood>Linux has a steep learning curve, but don't give up. Once you get up on it, you'll find that it is actually easy to use.
13:35<jameswilson1>dan, now that you know mysql is not running, you need to figure out how to start mysql.
13:35<WormFood>I've been using Linux since 1995, and other Linux-like OSes since the mid-late 1980s...so I have quite a bit of experience with a lot of different things ;)
13:35<WormFood>dan, are you logged into the server without problems, and you're able to become root, and all that good stuff, right?
13:35<dan>i usedwhen i type service mysql start "start:job failed to start
13:35<dan>yes i am root
13:36<WormFood>type "free -m", and see how much memory you have, for starters
13:36<AlexC_>dan: view the log file /var/log/messages and look for MySQL errors

13:38<dan>thanks messages file is very large i am looking at it now
13:38<amitz>when is linode's bandwidth cut off time? EST? UTC?
13:39<WormFood>dan, type "tail /var/log/messages -n50 -F" to get the last 50 lines of the message log, and to show any new additions to the log file in real time
13:40<WormFood>dan, if you don't know about "screen", you must install it, and spend 15 minutes to learn the basics of how to operate it....trust me, it is worth the time to learn it.
13:40<dan>nothing in the file
13:40<dan>Aug 31 10:15:58 bmbnow rsyslogd: rsyslogd's userid changed to 101
13:41<dan>that relates to mysql
13:42<WormFood>also dan, don't blindly type what people tell you. You should know what a command does. I've seen people wipe out their system, because they blindly followed what other people told them. the "man" command will tell you what a command does, type "man man" to learn about man, and "man tail" to see what the -n and -F options do, that I gave you
13:42<dan>yes thanks i know about man and will look at those options
13:42<rnowak>Question now is, can WormFood be trusted, or does "man" wipe your entire system? dun duuuun duuuuuuuun
13:42<WormFood>it is also creeping up on 2am here, so I'll be heading out soon....but I know there are other competent people who can help you when I'm gone.

13:45<Peng>I bet "man" is really short for "mangle".

13:45<amitz>WormFood: you're guilty for not explaining the word wipe properly! Cleaning hard drive? That's a good thing.
13:45<WormFood>amitz, wipe as in "cp /dev/zero /dev/sda"
13:45<dan>ok thanks can someone point me in the right direction

13:47<AlexC_>yep, that's expected. Thanks debian ... thanks

13:56<WormFood>I'd offer to do it for you, but you don't really know me...and in general, it is a bad idea, unless you REALLY trust someone on your computer.
13:56<jameswilson1>dan: now that you have a valid error message, you can try searching for it on google
13:56<jameswilson1>for example, i found this, at the top of the search results: http://anthologyoi.com/computers/cant-connect-to-local-mysql-server-through-socketerror.html
13:56<dan>i am, searching now on google as well
13:57<dan>looks like other think it is a permiossion on the files and folders
13:57<dan>i checked that now
13:57<dan>and they show owners as mysql
13:58<WormFood>it might be easier to just uninstall, and reinstall mysql....and you never did tell me how much free memory you have. (free -m)
13:59<WormFood>hell, even if you trusted me enough to take a look at it, I couldn't do it anyways, because I have way too much packet loss...I can barely do anything on my linode right now. :(

14:01<dan>how about how to change mysql root password. i am not able to login to phpmyadmin anylonger
14:01<dan>linode did not crash
14:01<WormFood>there is a command to change your root password. Google for it. Easy to find.
14:01<jameswilson1>dan: you wont be able to use any mysql tools like phpmyadmin if the socket cannot be established

14:02<WormFood>do a "ps ax|grep mysql", and see if anything is running now....maybe something is stuck
14:02<dan>so real question is service mysql start or service mysqld start?
14:02<jameswilson1>it could be either one.
14:03<jwbernin>the one it isn't will tell you you gave it an invalid service name.
14:03<WormFood>should be mysqld, since that is the server, but they could be the same thing

14:04<WormFood>dan, then you should have known that copy/pasting that line was pointless :P
14:05<jwbernin>HoopyCat: yes, I *am* on a mission from God.
14:05<dan>just wanted to give details service mysql start should create a log file should it not
14:05<HoopyCat>jwbernin: <3
14:05<WormFood>I'd suggest you purge mysqld, and reinstall it
14:05<jameswilson1>you might want to copy the mysql data folder before you do that
14:06<WormFood>I think if you have any hope of a quick recovery, tha would be it
14:06<WormFood>it should not touch the mysql data
14:06<WormFood>it should just remove the package

14:08<jameswilson1>there is clearly something wrong with the socket configuration, either the my.cnf points to the wrong place, or something is already connected to the socket, or the socket doesnt exist.

14:09<hawk>I guess it includes the path to the socket in the error?
14:09<hawk>Are the permissions ok, then?

14:26<dan>ok changed the bind address to 127.0.0.1 which is itself
14:27<WormFood>how do you figure that it is the same? Nobody asked for that directory. Why would he give that directory in response to being asked for another directory?
14:27<cdash>Try invoking start
14:27<dan>cd ..
14:27<dan>sorry jOB FAILED TO START
14:27<cdash>Thats the error?
14:27<WormFood>what does "/etc/init.d/mysql start" say?
14:28<dan>root@bmbnow:/etc/init.d# service mysql start
14:28<dan>start: Job failed to start
14:28<WormFood>dan, what does "/etc/init.d/mysql start" say?
14:28<hawk>WormFood: We asked for /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock and right after that got ls output for a directory named mysqld with the comment that the directory is empty. I figured it very likely was that directory.
14:29<cdash>Hmm..try ./mysqld start
14:29<hawk>WormFood: No other directory named mysqld was part of the discussion, anyway
14:29<cdash>Dont use service
14:29<dan>start: Job failed to start
14:29<WormFood>hawk, you may be right, but it wasn't clear to me. Just trying to be sure, because if it wasn't the same, and that was where the problem is, then it would be a problem :P
14:30<dan>i posted another file
14:30<cdash>Link pls.
14:30<WormFood>you could also just run "mysqld_safe", from the command line

14:31<linbot>New news from forums: TorrentFlux - Stuck on "Connecting to peers..." in General Discussion <http://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?t=7664>

14:32<dan>over and over again number of process running now 0 restarted
14:32<dan>in a loop
14:32<WormFood>DESCRIPTION: mysqld_safe is the recommended way to start a mysqld server on Unix and NetWare. mysqld_safe adds some safety features such as restarting the server when an error occurs and logging runtime information to an error log file.
14:33<dan>how do i stop the loop
14:33<WormFood>did you try to uninstall it, and reinstall it? I suggest you purge it, then reinstall it
14:33<WormFood><ctrl>-C

14:33<WormFood>cdash, I just told you how to find it, not more than 10 minutes ago http://p.linode.com/
14:34<WormFood>killall mysqld_safe
14:34<WormFood>you may need to do it from another window...good thing you're running "screen" like I suggested

14:35<WormFood>how are you viewing it? with echo and netcat?
14:35<dan>killall from another did not stop it
14:36<WormFood>ok, then do a pstree -p, find the parent job, and kill it
14:37<WormFood>also, mysqld_safe is supposed to be script, do take a look at it, and see if it tells you where the log files are, and take a peek at those, if you can find them

14:48<dan>i am concerned with purge because i really dont have the experience with it
14:49<dan>my backup is from last night at 2am
14:49<dan>i am taking a snapshot now
14:49<WormFood>read up on the man/info page on apt/aptitude
14:49<dan>when that snapshot is completed about 50 minutes i will attempt what ever is needed
14:49<WormFood>I'm probably gonna be in bed by then
14:50-!-nmudgal [~tracker@123.201.183.237] has joined #linode
14:50<WormFood>an uninstall leaves the config files....a purge removes the config files too
14:51<WormFood>you can backup the database, by copying (keeping the ownership and permissions intact) the /var/lib/mysql directory
14:51<WormFood>if you look in there, you'll see a few files for each database you have
14:51<atealtha>don't forget to flush to disk before copying the files
14:51<WormFood>why atealtha?
14:52<atealtha>because you might not get all the data saved to the disk
14:52<atealtha>some might live in memory
14:52<WormFood>the sql server isn't running, and if it was, a flush wouldn't help...you'd need to stop the server before copying the files (of course, you can still backup the database without stopping the server, but that is moot in this case)
14:52<atealtha>well if the server isn't running then of course
14:53-!-Boohemian [~Boohemian@209-6-67-222.c3-0.abr-ubr1.sbo-abr.ma.cable.rcn.com] has joined #linode
14:53<WormFood>even if the sql server was running, you can't backup the directory while it is running
14:53<atealtha>really?
14:53<WormFood>that is what I've read
14:54<WormFood>maybe I've mis-remembered it, or it is no longer the case....but I think it is still valid
14:54<Peng>If a database is running, its files may not be in a consistent state.
14:54<WormFood>right, even if you do a "flush"
14:54<WormFood>all a flush does is write unsaved data to the disk, that is already in the OS
14:55<WormFood>it won't flush data held in the program, it only flushes the write buffers in Linux
14:55<atealtha>shows how much I know, I always use mysqldump
14:55<snubby>yo @ WormFood
14:55<WormFood>你好 snubby
14:56<pkiller>can anyone help me with icecast2 someone with experience with it :)
14:56<Peng>atealtha: Right. Using mysqldump is good.
14:56<WormFood>yes, that is how you backup the database without stopping the server
14:56<dan>could it be related to anything like a temp database full or a log file full?
14:56-!-BBHoss [~bbhoss@146.229.118.119] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
14:57<cdash>Could be. How much free space do you have?
14:58<dan>12 gb
14:59<dan>do the mysql files need to be resized ever
14:59<tparker>dan: is the 12 GB according to df -h or the Linode Manager?
14:59<cdash>Do you see any log file under /var/log/mysql folder?
15:00<dan>linode manager shows 12gb df -h shows /dev/xvda 0 available /dev shows 935m
15:00<tparker>then you are out of disk space on your main disk image
15:00<dan>so i read this as /dev/xvda is full
15:01-!-aot2002_ [~aot2002__@fw.sgstestcom.com] has joined #linode
15:01<dan>yes how do i add the 12 gb
15:01<tparker>you should be able to resize that disk image in the manager, clicking on the edit link on the dashboard next to that image
15:01<dan>or do i in linode resize
15:01<cdash>Woot!
15:02<cdash>See tparkers commet :-)
15:03<WormFood>god damn it! I forgot about checking hard drive space. I just take it for granted, but that is one of the first things I check on my own machines when I have weird problems.
15:03<WormFood>dan, you need to do it in the linode manager, and you need to shutdown your server too
15:03<cdash>dan: congrats you just nailed it! :-)
15:04<WormFood>when you said you added more memory, I'm sure everyone was thinking you added more RAM, not hard drive space.
15:04<WormFood>that is your problem....you just need to resize

17:28<Guspaz>Standard practice is to set an away message so that people who PM you are notified, not to broadcast to the entire world that you're AFK, spamming everybody.
17:28<Cruiser>(changing on away)
17:28<jameswilson1>ok, so its used by the drupal community at large.
17:29<dobie_gillis>says a lot about drupal
17:29<boba>even worse than /nick on away is /amsg on away
17:29<jameswilson1>not sure where that "habit" came from
17:29<Cruiser>i've never understood why people get so uppity about it, its one line
17:29<chesty>when 100 people do it, it's 100 lines
17:29<@caker>*500 people
17:29<Guspaz>One line multiplied by how many channels that person is in multiplied by how many people do it.
17:30<Cruiser>if its happening regularly, yes, its annoying, but thats rather rare in my experience
17:30<jameswilson1>makes sense

17:34<Musfuut>The irc channels I have frequented seem tolerant of it also but I respect the rules here. It is worth noting I think the irc bouncer Bip sets the nickname to nick|away or some such when the person isn't physically connected, by default. I'd have to check that again though, I know it was an option, maybe it is off by default. And no, that doesn't make it right to do, I understand the reasoning. :)

19:54<akerl>Put that at 15 or so
19:55<skyfaller>ok, what does that do?
19:55<akerl>That means that apache can spin up 150 processes max, each with php in it.
19:55<skyfaller>oh, that sounds like a lot
19:55<skyfaller>why would it do that?
19:55<akerl>Which will burn all the ram and swap your server ever dreamed of having
19:55<akerl>Because that's how mod_prefork works. Each apache process gets its own php
19:56<skyfaller>what causes apache to make new processes? A person visiting the site?
19:57<akerl>Yes
19:57<skyfaller>hm... I'm still puzzled why it would have spiked this morning then, I don't see any evidence of a sudden influx of traffic
19:58<bob2>http://kernel.org/#news
19:58<akerl>Basically, Client in that sense equals a simultaneous connection. So if 150 people load a page simultaneously, it will spawn 150 processes. More than that, and the requests will queue

20:08<mumphster>i do not lmbo
20:08<mumphster>it was a bit surreal though
20:08<mumphster>had to explain to them what irc was
20:09<Kyhwana>akerl: it's in the patriot act.. uh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Letter
20:09<kenyon>why IRC? thought it was twitter
20:09<mumphster>it was an irc bot that sent tweets
20:09<Kyhwana> They require no probable cause or judicial oversight. They also contain a gag order, preventing the recipient of the letter from disclosing that the letter was ever issued. The gag order was ruled unconstitutional as an infringement of free speech, in the Doe v. Ashcroft case.[2]
20:09<mumphster>that was hosted on my linode
20:09<akerl>"The gag order was ruled unconstitutional as an infringement of free speech, in the Doe v. Ashcroft case"
20:09<dr_jkl>Fox news is... ugh
20:09<Musfuut>Kyhwana: Right, but what I was saying is they have to tell the company to keep the secret it isn't secret by default, I don't think. But of course if the company has been told to keep it a secret they have to say they did not disclose information while if they didn't disclose information then they would say the same...
20:09<mumphster>and they forced twitter to hand over my information
20:09<Kyhwana>akerl: which doesn't stop them from using them

20:11<mumphster>pretty sure my linode didnt have a domain

20:11<bob2>akerl: admittedly uncitationed
20:11<kenyon>sounds like it was a legit thing to investigate, regardless of this patriot act discussion
20:11<Musfuut>I GOT IT, Linode should send the fbi 10,000 pages of single bits of information about members, for example first names. Then Linode can be free to tell all the customers some of their information was disclosed, connect this to an API, if at any time you query yourself and it says they have not disclosed information then you know the fbi told them to shut up.

20:26<vraa>if i can get more than 100mbps from a speed test, that means i'm in the same DC right?
20:26<bob2>Kyhwana: decimate is now used as an allusion
20:26<Kyhwana>akerl: everyone
20:26<Kyhwana>akerl: to decimate something is to do 10% to something, but people use it as "they were decimated!" to mean "more than 10% of them were killed!"
20:27<akerl>Did you finish reading my above remark?
20:27<Kyhwana>oh, nope. ;)
20:27<akerl>The fact that people are stupid and misuse the word does not change the actual definition.

21:25<akerl>Easy, and yes
21:25<Daevien>one node assuming your node can handle the traffic requirements, the rest depends on your skill as an admin with linux
21:25<Xoraster>gotcvha.
21:26<Daevien>if you are asking, i'm guessing you are fairly new. i suggest looking into a stackscript and/or refer you to the library, http://library.linode.com/
21:26<Daevien>lots of guides on how to setup stuff there

21:55<Andrew>why does my linode control panel say 32GB monthly transfer, but I purchased 200GB?
21:56<squircle>Andrew: is that how much you've already used?
21:56<bob2>Andrew: because you signed up on like the 29th
21:56<Kyhwana>Andrew: when did you buy your linode?
21:56<bob2>Andrew: so you get 2/31*200
21:56<Andrew>Transfer/mo: 32 GB
21:56<Andrew>Incoming: 988 MB
21:56<Andrew>Outgoing: 343 MB
21:57<Andrew>Total: 1.30 GB
21:57<Kyhwana>Andrew: yes, when did you sign up?
21:57<Daevien>Andrew: prorating. you signed up late in the month, it flips over with new month to full amount
21:57<Andrew>less than a week ago
21:57<Kyhwana>Andrew: see above answers
21:57<bob2>there you go
21:57<Andrew>ok cool
21:57<boba>!linodeatemycash
21:57<linbot>All charges are prorated for the current billing cycle. If you sign up after the 20th of the month, your account will be billed for the time left in the current month, plus the full amount of the next month. On the first of the next month, you will be billed the normal monthly cost of your Linode(s).
21:57<bob2>haha
