| 00:29 | <nate> | Didn't atlanta have like a battery bank fire or something ages ago that impacted linode? |
| 00:31 | * | Peng_ sprains face scowling |
| 00:31 | <Peng_> | Atlanta's had a million outages that impacted Linode, but they never said any involved anything that dramatic. |
| 00:31 | <Peng_> | You're not thinking of The Planet's transformer(?) explosion, are you? (Which didn't affect Linode.) |
| 00:34 | <nate> | nah, this was like yearrrs ago, pretty sure there was some sorta UPS bank fire or something at one of the few locations at the time, thought it was atlanta |
| 00:35 | <Peng_> | Well, under the circumstances, it would almost have to be Atlanta or Fremont 1. The other data centers aren't that unlucky. :D |
| 00:36 | <Peng_> | Well, I'm not disagreeing with you, but I don't remember that. Hm. |
| 00:37 | <nate> | I thought it was a linode relative event but it might notta been |
| 00:37 | <nate> | maybe I'll try to search through my logs for the word "Fire" in here lol |
| 00:40 | <Peng_> | Heh |
| 00:41 | <Peng_> | Back in May, Toronto had a network outage because the fiber caught on fire. But that was a safe distance from the data center. :D |
| 01:04 | <FluffyFoxeh> | > * Peng_ sprains face scowling |
| 01:04 | <FluffyFoxeh> | have a cuppa tea and relax ^^ |
| 01:05 | <Peng_> | I was actually drinking tea when I wrote that :D |
| 01:07 | <FluffyFoxeh> | :D |
| 01:14 | <FluffyFoxeh> | remember when one of the locations was getting knocked down particularly hard by DoS attacks m |
| 01:15 | <FluffyFoxeh> | They were all getting hit but one of them was most severely affected |
| 01:15 | <FluffyFoxeh> | 2016 ish maybe? |
| 01:23 | <Peng_> | The Christmas DDoS! D: |
| 01:23 | <Peng_> | Atlanta got it worst and London got it second-worst. |
| 01:24 | <Peng_> | I imagine Dallas was the main target, but it weathered it well. |

| 03:09 | <chandu> | Hello |
| 03:10 | <rsdehart> | hi chandu |
| 03:10 | <rsdehart> | welcome to community chat |
| 03:18 | <chandu> | Thanks |
| 03:18 | <chandu> | I have quick question but not sure is this right forum to ask. |
| 03:18 | <rsdehart> | !ask |
| 03:18 | <linbot> | If you have a question, feel free to just ask it -- someone's always willing to help. If you don't get a response right away, be patient! You may want to read http://alexfornuto.com/how-to-ask-for-help-on-irc/ |
| 03:18 | <rsdehart> | :) |
| 03:19 | <rsdehart> | if it isn't the right place, maybe someone can point you in the right direction |
| 03:20 | <chandu> | Currently we are using AWS, and we are happy with the service except pricing part. I heard about Linode and saw the straight forward pricing & plans. So my question the pricing will apply what ever listed in the website (or) is this again like AWS charges like per instance, per usage,...etc etc? |
| 03:20 | <rsdehart> | no, what you see is what you pay |
| 03:20 | <rsdehart> | no games |
| 03:21 | <rsdehart> | usage is billed hourly up to the cap shown per month |
| 03:21 | <rsdehart> | so if you use all month you end up paying the listed monthly cost |
| 03:21 | <rsdehart> | if you use a portion of the month, you'll pay the hourly. The monthly cap is reached somewhere near the end of the month anyway |
| 03:24 | <chandu> | cool this is what I needed, so does not matter how many hours I am using....All I want is I select the plan and pay fixed pricing so that it will be easy for me...And in AWS - every month I pay different amount and we are confused totally |
| 03:26 | <chandu> | so is there any hours limitation per plan/pricing? Let's say I select "4 GB RAM2 CPU Cores80 GB SSD4 TB Transfer" for $30/month. Will I have any limitation on #hours usgae per month? |
| 03:26 | <grawity> | no, that $30 is for running it 24/7 the whole month |
| 03:27 | <rsdehart> | thanks grawity |
| 03:27 | <grawity> | although if it's like mining foocoin at 100% CPU through the whole month, they might not be happy about that |
| 03:27 | <chandu> | cool, whether I run it or not running it - I will pay $30/month based on my plan - this is what I need so that no confusion on pricing |
| 03:27 | <rsdehart> | it's for as long as the instance exists yeah |
| 03:29 | <chandu> | and S3 storage also same thing right - there are no separate costs like for download, upload, view, store, archive like AWS? |
| 03:30 | <grawity> | the "object storage" service? |
| 03:30 | <chandu> | yes |
| 03:30 | <grawity> | appears to be the same, just a fixed monthly price based on size |
| 03:31 | <grawity> | well, I'm looking at the "pricing" part of https://www.linode.com/products/object-storage/ anyway |
| 03:32 | <chandu> | one last question - any idea on setting rules in object storage? Like I want to set the rule like - auto delete files/folders every 24 or 48 hours and send them to archive folder incase if I need it.. |
| 03:34 | <grawity> | I'm going to guess "not yet" since it's a relatively new service, but maybe wait for staff for that one |

| 04:05 | <Chandu> | Thanks grawity |
| 04:08 | <Chandu> | is there any platform for linode experts where I can take some help by paying? I need this service for migration and continuous support |
| 04:09 | <rsdehart> | !managed |
| 04:09 | <linbot> | https://www.linode.com/managed |
| 04:10 | <Chandu> | nice..it's going to be ticket based help (or) phone/webex help whenever we need help? |
| 04:13 | <rsdehart> | I don't know. I've never used it |
| 04:13 | <rsdehart> | ticket based help is available with unmanaged |
| 04:15 | <Chandu> | got you |
| 04:16 | <Chandu> | what is the difference between Block Storage Vs Object Storage? I know about object storage and I think this one something like S3 storage in AWS...but what is block storage..and plan pricing says $1/month for 10GiB |
| 04:17 | <Chandu> | sorry for my basic questions but I am new so trying to find out and clarify before we migrate to linode |
| 04:26 | <grawity> | Block Storage is an additional disk that you can attach directly to a VM |
| 04:26 | <grawity> | Object Storage is, well, S3-like thing |

| 09:21 | <sp> | hey guys, unable to get a DHCP offer, and therefore no ipv4 address... any tips? |
| 09:21 | <grawity> | can you reach the gateway if you configure the address statically? |
| 09:21 | <sp> | syslog after 'dhcpclient eth0': dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received. |
| 09:22 | <grawity> | tbh I don't...remember whether Linode had DHCP at all |
| 09:22 | <sp> | will try that, thanks |
| 09:22 | <grawity> | I guess it did |
| 09:22 | <grawity> | but in any case, manual configuration would be a good test |
| 09:22 | <grawity> | does the same server have IPv6 available? |
| 09:31 | <sp> | manually set gateway and DHCP server, it worked this time |
| 09:31 | <sp> | thanks for the hand holding friends :) |

| 17:11 | <millisa> | "Covered User" is not defined. |
| 17:11 | <galexand123> | admin.linode.com/legal is what was in the email :) so thanks! |
| 17:11 | <millisa> | didn't even see the email, so thanks to *you* |
| 17:12 | <cews> | Definitions page? |
| 17:12 | <millisa> | they updated a bunch of their legal cruft. this page is the one i'm reading now: https://www.linode.com/legal-dpa/ |
| 17:12 | <millisa> | 1.3 should be before 1.4, should be before 1.2, should have a definition for covered user, then should have 1.1. |
| 17:13 | <cews> | Yeah |
| 17:13 | <cews> | Are you a lawyer? |
| 17:13 | <cews> | I'd never noticed |
| 17:13 | <millisa> | not the last time i checked |
| 17:14 | <cews> | You never know |
| 17:14 | <cews> | You define the law. |

| 17:15 | * | cews nods |
| 17:15 | <millisa> | galexand123: did you just get an email with that in it? (I'm still hunting my stuff and haven't found where they sent something about this) |
| 17:18 | <millisa> | ah, must just be starting a run on it then. maybe they halted it after folks reported the link mistake |
| 17:20 | <galexand123> | i don't know how these things are sorted but i joined in 2003 :) |
| 17:20 | <Peng_> | Wow |
| 17:20 | <millisa> | got me beat by 6 years |
| 17:21 | <nate> | No idea how long I've been here, guess I could check my emails for my first invoice but pretty sure it hasn't been -that- long |
| 17:21 | <nate> | not even close to lol |
| 17:21 | <millisa> | it shows on the account page in the old manager |
| 17:21 | <nate> | Ah does it? |
| 17:21 | <nate> | Is that still up? I'm still dreading trying to log into that one day and finding it gone, I love the old manager :( |
| 17:22 | <nate> | Ah good a month and a half still |
| 17:22 | <millisa> | guess it's on the new manager, too. over on the right 'Active Since:' |
| 17:22 | <millisa> | section 5.3 of legal-dpu mentions the Linode privacy SUP. Don't think I've seen the 'SUP' term used; assuming it means the 'Privacy Policy' at /legal-privacy? |
| 17:22 | <nate> | 2011, longer than I thought |
| 17:23 | <millisa> | 'linode privacy stand up paddleboarders' |
| 17:27 | <millisa> | (supplemental use policy; i'm assuming from the MSA terms section) |
| 17:27 | <@rgerke> | nate: If you like the Classic Manager, try 'Compact Mode' on the new one. Irt gives it a similar look |
| 17:27 | <@rgerke> | It* |
| 17:31 | <millisa> | bleh to rolling out this kinda change in the last 2 weeks of the year to go into effect in only a few weeks :( |
| 17:38 | <chesty> | "You will immediately notify us in the event your use of any Service is for a non-business purpose; and " why? |
| 17:39 | <nate> | yeah that seems like really poor wording lol |
| 17:40 | <millisa> | "Resale Prohibited. Covered Users are prohibited from selling or reselling any Service unless you, on behalf of yourself and all Covered Users, consent to the appropriate reseller SUP or SPA without exception. " i'm not sure how I deal with that |
| 17:42 | <nate> | When exactly are these new terms supposed to go into effect? |
| 17:42 | <millisa> | it says 1/1 at the top |
| 17:42 | <nate> | I technically haven't even agreed to new terms in like two years, I just keep skipping them in the classic panel >.> |
| 17:43 | <Peng_> | nate: Same! |
| 17:44 | <chesty> | not a lawyer, but I think it says by using a service you agree to the tos |
| 17:44 | <millisa> | the bit in bold at the top claims that anyways |
| 17:48 | <nate> | chesty: Yeah but there's been a lot of cases in the US where it simply saying that doesn't apply, which is generally why most services explicitly make you click an "I agree" or such |
| 17:49 | <chesty> | how about this, when you created the account you agreed to a tos that said you agreed the tos could be updated? |
| 17:49 | <chesty> | (again, not a lawyer, I have no idea) |
| 17:52 | <nate> | That one I'm not sure of lol, I don't think I've ever heard of a case like that. But one could argue that's common sense and that sure it could be updated but we still wouldn't have to explicitly agree :P |
| 17:53 | <nate> | I think those non-business and reselling clauses are probably gonna cause a lot of issues (since like all but one of my linodes are personal use for random stuff) |
| 17:54 | <nuevu> | chesty: Which document and section has that non-business clause? |
| 17:54 | <millisa> | 10.2 in the msa |
| 17:55 | <nuevu> | Thanks! |
| 17:55 | <chesty> | it's https://www.linode.com/legal-msa/ what's a master service? is there another tos for non-business users? |
| 17:57 | <millisa> | section 8 makes me nervous too :( |
| 17:58 | -!- | anomie [~anomie@00018802.user.oftc.net] has quit [Quit: Leaving] |
| 17:59 | <chesty> | I guess master services agreement means it's the main agreement and there are other sub agreements that may be applicable |
| 17:59 | <millisa> | that's generally the idea. more a parent/child relationship |
| 17:59 | <chesty> | clinger loves section 8 |
| 17:59 | <@mcintosh> | millisa: ooc what about section 8 makes you nervous? |

| 18:32 | <millisa> | section 9 of aup is awkward (extra space/indention of the bold bit, and bullet 2 needs editing; i'm not sure what word is extra in there; 'including' maybe?) |
| 18:33 | <chesty> | "You consent to resolve all Disputes arising from or related to the Services in accordance to the Terms of Service and in your individual capacity; " I wish I knew what "in your individual capacity" means here. consent is interesting too, apparently the legal definition is an agreement between two people to engage in sexual activity. |
| 18:34 | <millisa> | opposed to your official capacity |
| 18:34 | <wraeth> | I think it's code for "no class actions". |
| 18:37 | <chesty> | it sounds like a business can't resolve a dispute also a lawyer can't represent you, not saying that's what it means, just saying that's what it sounds like it means to me. |

| 19:06 | <FluffyFoxeh> | Linode* |
| 19:08 | <FluffyFoxeh> | Why does it matter? |
| 19:16 | <millisa> | maybe something to do with how they have to respond when a gdpr violation is reported? who is/isnt applicable? |
| 19:18 | <pfu> | FluffyFox, good evening from Philadelphia! |
| 19:21 | <pfu> | Thanks very much for your question. The clause you pointed out helps us with our current and future regulatory compliance needs, some of which request distinction between business and non-business uses. |
| 19:22 | -!- | mode/#linode [+o pfu] by jackley |
| 19:23 | <millisa> | To comply with that requirement, folks are going to need a (simple) way to do that notification and probably a way to mark it by service or account wide |
| 19:26 | <Peng_> | Anarchy today! |
| 19:27 | <FluffyFoxeh> | Ah, I see |
| 19:29 | <FluffyFoxeh> | I'm curious, what is an example of something that requires that distinction? |
| 19:29 | <millisa> | "The following applies to this Linode (check all that apply): [ ] Business use [ ] Non Business use [x] Steve Buscemi use [x] Cat videos" |
| 19:38 | <@pfu> | There are lots of examples, spanning from data localization to taxes, customer-side insurance to Linode legal compliance |

| 20:08 | <FluffyFoxeh> | I wonder what specific parts of those things distinguishes between a "business" and a non-"business" use. Though I have only peripheral knowledge of the law, I'm not aware of that distinction being commonly defined or recognized. |
| 20:09 | <FluffyFoxeh> | There are special provisions for non-profit corporations, "non-business use" doesn't sound like it refers to that (or they would have used the term non-profit) |
| 20:13 | <FluffyFoxeh> | If Linode wants to be informed of the nature of one's use of the services, that sounds harmless enough, so whatever. But I don't understand why. |
| 20:15 | <FluffyFoxeh> | And I would be interested to know if (and how) my declaration would affect my interactions and relationship with Linode. |
