| 06:23 | <saurav> | i want to know to payment cycle of linodes. whether payment is made in advance or after the month ends |
| 06:26 | <Peng> | After, but you also have to make a small payment when you first create an account (which will be used for future invoices) |
| 06:26 | <Peng> | Last I heard, you can also be invoiced more than once a month if you're spending huge amounts of money. (You can get your account adjusted, though.) |
| 06:27 | <saurav> | so i deactivated my account on 31 jan and in 2 hrs my card was charged. so it was for the month of january? |
| 06:29 | <rsdehart> | saurav: yes |
| 06:29 | <rsdehart> | you're billed for your usage for the previous month at the start of the following month |

| 13:54 | <phoenixdevs> | hay guys |
| 13:54 | <phoenixdevs> | how are you? |
| 13:54 | <@_brian> | hi phoenixdevs |
| 13:54 | <@_brian> | good how are you? |
| 13:54 | <phoenixdevs> | I'm fine thanks <3 |
| 13:54 | <phoenixdevs> | You are always ready for help :D |
| 13:55 | <phoenixdevs> | I'm interested that how much costs object storage for 1gb? |
| 13:55 | <millisa> | 1gb would be the same as 250gb |
| 13:56 | <@pwoods> | Object Storage starts at $5/month for up to 250 GB: https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/pricing-and-limitations/ |
| 13:56 | <@_brian> | pricing starts out at 250GB for $5 with 1TB transfer |
| 13:56 | <millisa> | https://www.linode.com/products/object-storage/ - there is a slider about halfway down |
| 13:57 | <phoenixdevs> | Damn, thats amazing |
| 13:57 | <phoenixdevs> | And one more question about terms |
| 13:57 | <phoenixdevs> | I have an woocommerce shop and selling codecanyon scripts there, I'm using object storage to upload scripts there |
| 13:57 | <phoenixdevs> | Is it allowed? |
| 13:58 | <@_brian> | sounds good to me |
| 13:58 | <millisa> | assuming the scripts do legal things... |
| 13:58 | <@_brian> | and that you have the right to sell them :D |
| 13:58 | <phoenixdevs> | This scripts are in public sites |
| 13:58 | <phoenixdevs> | I think i do not have :D |
| 13:59 | <phoenixdevs> | But i have DMCA and if any developer will found out his own code he can contact me and i will delete it |
| 14:00 | <phoenixdevs> | Please in case of any issue with that terms do not terminate it before letting me know that i could make a backup of site |
| 14:02 | <phoenixdevs> | none of vps providers had an issue with that, i had my issue with prices :D thay wanted a huge money for ftp hosting and separated price for vps |
| 14:03 | <@_brian> | we do not moderate the content of sites hosted by customers, but we require that customers are responsive to abuse complaints that we forward regarding their sites |
| 14:04 | <@_brian> | i would not recommend selling code that you do not own, but i can tell you that we do not delete servers because we received a DMCA complaint |
| 14:06 | <phoenixdevs> | DMCA i will recive on my support email which will be processed immediatelly. |

| 14:12 | <millisa> | I wish to sell music that I do not own. Not to worry, I'll respond to DMCA complaints promptly. |
| 14:12 | <millisa> | and some movies |
| 14:25 | <kharlan> | lool |
| 14:25 | <kharlan> | just don't worry brian! |
| 14:39 | <LouWestin> | I could see a slew of copyright infringement claims coming in for selling code that you don't own. 🙄 |
| 14:39 | <millisa> | assuming someone was willing to pay to see it |
| 14:40 | <LouWestin> | Right right |
| 14:40 | <dzho> | millisa: I think you just invented youtube |
| 14:40 | <LouWestin> | I have some code I'm selling, would you like to buy some? lol |
| 14:41 | <millisa> | i'll be rich. |
| 14:41 | <dzho> | don't forget us here in #linode when your ship comes in |
| 14:41 | <millisa> | Psst. Hey. Hey kid. Wanna buy some .. code? |
| 14:41 | <LouWestin> | I'll sell my HTML starter templates |

| 14:42 | <dzho> | that will be five dollars please |
| 14:43 | <millisa> | No <marquee> no deal |
| 14:43 | <@_brian> | since you're all here, Stevie's People's Choice voting is open https://peopleschoice.stevieawards.com/register-vote/98166/5916 |
| 14:43 | <dzho> | that's premium content |
| 14:43 | <@pwoods> | Fun easter egg: Google "marquee tag" |
| 14:43 | <LouWestin> | Don't steal my boilerplates! I worked really hard on those auto generated lines. 😂 |
| 14:44 | <dzho> | those are organic, free-range, artisinal, hand-crafted tags. I typed them in myself. |
| 14:45 | <kharlan> | I can't find a tractor on this recaptcha! |
| 14:46 | <@_brian> | i had one tell me that i was not selecting all of the street signs until i selected the box with a parking meter |
| 14:46 | <kharlan> | lul nice. |
| 14:46 | <LouWestin> | Hit the new captcha button |
| 14:46 | <kharlan> | Anyway, voted :) |

| 14:46 | <@pwoods> | !point kharlan |
| 14:46 | <linbot> | pwoods: Point given to kharlan. (8) |
| 14:47 | <@_brian> | also y'all should not underestimate copyright trolls. they will report things that don't even exist just because a page dynamically generates content based on the URL |
| 14:47 | <LouWestin> | ^this |
| 14:47 | <millisa> | It only asked me if I was not a robot. How would I know without some ships or buses or maybe a train (is a subway a train) |
| 14:48 | <LouWestin> | millisa: I think it depends on the browser or site. Sometimes I need to click the stop lights other times it's just a box. |
| 14:48 | <kharlan> | oh, I voted using a linode IP.. |
| 14:49 | <@_brian> | same |
| 14:49 | <@pwoods> | also same |
| 14:49 | <dzho> | doom |
| 14:49 | <millisa> | now I wish I'd proxied through a DO box. |
| 14:50 | <dzho> | lol |
| 14:51 | <kharlan> | The 'follow me on twitter' notice was a bit weird. It said I had to follow to vote, but I clicked cancel and it let me vote anyway. |
| 14:52 | <@_brian> | that is weird. both times i voted i unchecked the box and didn't see a message like that |
| 14:52 | <@_brian> | better vote again to double check |
| 14:52 | <kharlan> | oops, already voted again. |
| 14:52 | <kharlan> | It's there for sure. |

| 17:34 | <viking12> | anyone from linode here? |
| 17:35 | <millisa> | If you've got a question, feel free to ask it. |
| 17:35 | <viking12> | i want a support team to look into a ticket I have raised |
| 17:35 | <millisa> | The official folks occasionally perk up, but there's potentially someone else who may have your answer |
| 17:35 | <viking12> | it's been few hours |
| 17:35 | <millisa> | Ah. Well, dump a ticket# in here and sometimes they can pick it up. Generally if it's important, it's best to call them. |
| 17:36 | <viking12> | i was expecting a quicker reply as mentioned 24x7 team |
| 17:36 | <viking12> | ticket id #15110346 |
| 17:37 | <viking12> | anyways I am coming whole way from digitalocean |
| 17:38 | <millisa> | it's probably a good move. |
| 17:39 | <viking12> | they dont allow to take snapshots or backups |
| 17:39 | <viking12> | besides they locked up our account |
| 17:39 | <viking12> | and caused downtime for our business |
| 17:40 | <millisa> | ouch. seems unusual, even for them. |
| 17:40 | <millisa> | I never liked their backup style either; it's one of the things that makes me put linode over them. |
| 17:40 | <millisa> | but cutting off an account is weird. they like money. |
| 17:40 | <viking12> | so true bunch of loosers |
| 17:41 | <viking12> | anyways any third party tool to move wordpress configs, database, plugins, files from their droplet ? |
| 17:42 | <millisa> | most any of the wordpress migration tools would work. |
| 17:42 | <millisa> | rsyncing the data and dumping/restoring the db works too if you've got the base wordpress setup done |
| 17:42 | <kharlan> | https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ |
| 17:42 | <kharlan> | ^ I use that, works great. |
| 17:43 | <millisa> | there's also some wordpress docs at https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/websites/cms/wordpress/ for doing the server setup |
| 17:43 | <millisa> | or they have a stackscript (never used it, but rumor is it works fine) |
| 17:43 | <kharlan> | It's honestly just db/files + php/mysql/web server. It's easy to replicate if you're familiar with what you are running. |
| 17:45 | <viking12> | okay let me try it |
| 17:46 | <viking12> | if anyone from customer support is here, please check ticket id #15110346 thanks |
| 17:47 | <viking12> | do linode provide discounts or free credits for startups? |

| 18:01 | <LouWestin> | They usually don't delete delete the linodes right away |
| 18:03 | <bom> | I just close account ... I don't think this is remove all linode |

How much time depends on the nature of the incident (brute force, spam, etc). We detail how much time you have to respond in the initial ticket update, and then will send a followup or two before moving forward with restrictions. |
| 18:35 | <tom_> | In the case it's not an issue with packets being sent you like spam |
| 18:36 | <tom_> | But with things like DMCA |
| 18:36 | <tom_> | Other "intellectual property" violations would you still implement network restrictions? |
| 18:36 | <tom_> | Like prevent people from connecting to a linode, rather than prevent the linode from making connections out |
| 18:38 | <virtual> | I assume if you ignore the messages, that would happen. Based on my time working at other providers. Otherwise Linode becomes liable for allowing that content, etc. |
| 18:40 | <tom_> | virtual: are you a linode representive |
| 18:40 | <@pwoods> | !ops |
| 18:40 | <linbot> | Users with ops are employees of Linode, and know what they're talking about. The rest of us are the ever-so-helpful(?) community. Official Linode contact information: https://www.linode.com/support/ |
| 18:41 | <@pwoods> | tom_: that means anyone with a @ in front of their name is a Linode employee, otherwise they're a member of the community here. |
| 18:44 | <tom_> | Is linide really liable for things the customer's host? |
| 18:44 | <tom_> | Linode |
| 18:46 | <millisa> | IANAL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicarious_liability |
| 18:55 | <virtual> | yay dmca |
| 18:56 | <millisa> | the big case to watch on it is WB vs Charter. it's still churning but last April the judge didn't dismiss it and is still allowing the vicarious liability claim |
| 18:56 | <millisa> | this summary isn't terrible - https://anthonyveachlaw.com/blog/2020/4/26/dmca-lawsuit-update-district-court-allows-vicarious-copyright-infringement-claims-against-charter-to-go-forward |
| 18:57 | <millisa> | official doc from that - http://business.cch.com/ipld/WarnerRecordsCharterComms20200415.pdf |
| 19:35 | <virtual> | millisa: ugh. I actually didn't know about that case. |
| 19:35 | <millisa> | just don't know who to cheer for |
| 19:35 | <virtual> | on this one, it's not the plaintiffs. |
| 19:54 | <Ikaros> | Speaking of copyright - I'm reminded of the one against Hurricane Electric. Rightsholders were demanding it cut off its customers, so you can imagine what that would entail for a company like HE. |
| 19:56 | <tom_> | It was more of a practical engineering question rather than a theoretical question I was asking |
| 19:56 | <tom_> | But if you were being theoretical, I'd argue that copyright shouldn't apply to intangible things, especially things that don't cost anything at all to reproduce |
| 19:57 | <tom_> | And the DMCA only stands up to allow big corporations to harass individuals and censor inconvenient facts |
| 19:57 | <tom_> | More of a tool of oppression and propping up encumberance |
| 19:57 | <tom_> | Also |
| 19:57 | <tom_> | It's just backwards |
| 19:58 | <tom_> | If I stole your bicycle, you'd have to take the bus. If I copied your bicycle there would be one for each of us |
| 19:58 | <tom_> | The whole purpose of copyring is to protect icentives for producing scarce things |
| 19:58 | <tom_> | Tangible resources are scarce |
| 19:58 | <tom_> | Ideals, they are not scarce |
| 19:59 | <Ikaros> | Unfortunately the law is too commonly abused for nefarious purposes. The DMCA is, imo, all too often abused. |
| 19:59 | <virtual> | tom_: yep, the DMCA in particular. |
| 19:59 | <virtual> | is. awful. |
| 19:59 | <tom_> | And copyright driven all the way down the road converges on general purpose computers with rootkits and malware installed on them by default and a war on the turing machine |
| 19:59 | <Ikaros> | Bogus claims can sink someone. |
| 19:59 | <tom_> | I am asking because I often write articles that upset big corporations |
| 20:00 | <tom_> | And they have used endless bogus legal pressure to censor those who write articles criticizing corporations or exposing inconvenient truths |
| 20:00 | <Ikaros> | Mmm. Using the DMCA as a tool to silence someone. Nefarious. |
| 20:01 | <tom_> | I also write software that extracts content from walled gardens and presents it without any spyware or telemetry |
| 20:01 | <Ikaros> | I'm more of a "you bite me I'll bite back 10x harder" guy, I don't tolerate being pushed around in that way. If I want to speak out about something, I'm well within my means and rights to do so. |
| 20:01 | <virtual> | hah, nice tom_ |
| 20:02 | <tom_> | It's why I self-host...well. On Linode |
| 20:02 | <millisa> | I just take tom_'s work and post it for sale on my site. |
| 20:02 | <virtual> | I'm rusty, but I vaguely recall some reverse engineering rubbish in DMCA. |
| 20:02 | <virtual> | lol millisa |
| 20:02 | <virtual> | !point millisa |
| 20:02 | <linbot> | virtual: Point given to the old and crusty millisa. (203) (Biggest fan: mcintosh, total: 27) |
| 20:03 | <tom_> | Points? |
| 20:03 | <Ikaros> | Aren't there usually clauses in licensing agreements that specifically address reverse-engineering? |
| 20:03 | <millisa> | !point tom_ |
| 20:03 | <linbot> | millisa: Point given to tom_. (1) |
| 20:03 | <millisa> | there's your cut |
| 20:04 | <virtual> | they can be cashed in for feel good vouchers |
| 20:04 | <tom_> | Oh, lol |
| 20:04 | <tom_> | Is this a joke about social media or something? |
| 20:05 | <virtual> | it's an attempt at a joke, but not about social media. just me being silly. |
| 20:05 | <virtual> | thanks for killing it, tom_. |
| 20:05 | <virtual> | !point tom_ |
| 20:05 | <linbot> | virtual: Point given to tom_. (2) |

| 21:41 | <chesty> | interesting. what if I borrowed a $100 note from you, copied it and gave it back? |
| 21:41 | <millisa> | then it sounds like you still owe me 10% and the juice is running |
| 21:43 | <chesty> | is juice also called vig? I'm never sure when I hear that word whether they are saying big, vig, or what |

| 21:45 | <virtual> | I have heard of the cut, the margin, the take, but not the rest. |
| 21:45 | <virtual> | hah, ditto, chesty. |
| 21:46 | <millisa> | last place I remember 'the juice' was in Rounders |
| 21:46 | <juice> | drink me |
| 21:46 | <LouWestin> | Chesty you'd get the Feds? Coming after you for counterfeiting lol |
| 21:46 | <millisa> | only if he tried to use it as a real one |
| 21:47 | <LouWestin> | I'm pointing the obvious of course. But it's funny |
| 21:48 | <LouWestin> | I wonder if you did copy $100 bill but didn't use it, would it still be illegal? |
| 21:48 | <LouWestin> | Mean the act of the copying |
| 21:49 | <LouWestin> | I haven't had juice in a while. |
| 21:50 | <LouWestin> | Cranberry with vodka sounds good, |
| 21:50 | <virtual> | that's stretching 'juice' |
| 21:50 | <millisa> | no more of this pandemic quaran-tang and vodka |
| 21:51 | <LouWestin> | True. I indulged at a local brewery. |
| 21:52 | <LouWestin> | Gets a wee bit expensive so I'm taking a break. |

| 22:02 | <kharlan> | Pffft who is a teetotal like I am? Join the fold. |
| 22:04 | <kharlan> | I’m pretty sure copying a 100.00 bill is illegal though. |
| 22:04 | <kharlan> | Or maybe distributing it is illegal? I’m sure there’s a gray area... |
| 22:05 | <virtual> | why doesn't someone copy one here, tell their relevant authority, and see what happens. |
| 22:05 | <virtual> | for science. |
| 22:05 | <kharlan> | Not it |
| 22:05 | <virtual> | in australia, it's plastic. so maybe I could print some on a 3d printer. |
| 22:06 | <kharlan> | the currency is plastic? |
| 22:06 | <kharlan> | that doesn’t sound very eco-friendly. |
| 22:06 | <virtual> | that too. But I was thinking more about the notes. |
| 22:06 | <millisa> | didn't canada do it too? |
| 22:07 | <virtual> | Yeah, and many others. Kinda interesting history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_banknote |
| 22:08 | <LouWestin> | Speaking of Canada I remember the $3 coin. |
| 22:10 | <kharlan> | Lol I found a picture of some goddess holding a maple leaf scepter |
| 22:11 | <kharlan> | Hmm is Australia still apart of the commonwealth? |
| 22:12 | <kharlan> | I haven’t gotten far enough through The Crown to know whether or not they stayed. |

| 23:05 | <chesty> | kharlan, i don't know what the science is regarding ecofriendly bank notes. but the plastic ones last longer than the cotton ones. so in terms of unrenewable energy cost, plastic notes might not be bad. |
| 23:06 | <chesty> | I believe australia invented the plastic notes and sold the technology to other countries |
| 23:28 | <kharlan> | I guess that’s fair. They would be reusable without undergoing some sort of “cleaning process” unlike used plastic bottles/bags. |
