| 00:01.27 | optika- | every1 have a good weekend |
| 00:01.40 | macnewbold | later, optika- ... you too |
| 00:02.04 | *** part/#uphpu optika- (~optikal@67-40-118-81.slkc.uswest.net) |
| 00:04.59 | dataw0lf | tierra|w: we really need to wean optikal off of the aolbonics. |
| 00:05.12 | tierra|w | yeah, he's being sucked in |
| 00:06.25 | dataw0lf | so you're going to f8l's party tonight? |
| 00:07.17 | dataw0lf | oh, did you talk to eco yet? |
| 00:10.11 | tierra|w | oh yeah, he just showed like 30 mins ago... I'll ask when he comes down |
| 00:11.18 | tierra|w | his sleep schedule is so messed up |
| 00:11.43 | tierra|w | he gets into work almost the same time as a lot of people just get off |
| 00:13.33 | tierra|w | alright, eco says he's fine with you coming so long as you keep cool with Adrenaline |
| 00:14.02 | tierra|w | so there's our answer... |
| 00:14.53 | tierra|w | I tried calling f8l earlier today, no answer |
| 00:38.21 | dataw0lf | ah, cool. |
| 00:41.05 | dataw0lf | can't wait til the next X-Men movie. |
| 00:41.22 | dataw0lf | I want to see what the do with the whole Phoenix thing they left at the end of the second. |
| 00:44.17 | tierra|w | yeah, it's been a long time to wait |
| 00:50.15 | tierra|w | Omg! I'm more anxious to see what happens with that than I am about my baby being born! |
| 00:50.34 | tierra|w | =) |
| 00:50.57 | dataw0lf | that's better. |
| 00:52.22 | tierra|w | you turned it the wrong way... |
| 00:54.45 | wps | anyone in here have a Linode? |
| 00:55.12 | macnewbold | wps: they do in #utah... bunch of linode zealots in there |
| 00:55.26 | wps | yeah, just thought I'd try here first :) |
| 00:59.06 | tierra|w | I have one |
| 01:00.11 | wps | how you like it? |
| 01:00.28 | wps | how's support? |
| 01:00.33 | wps | I heard that it is a one man shop? |
| 01:00.37 | tierra|w | there's only one issue I have with linode, and that's ram/upgrade price for ram |
| 01:00.43 | tierra|w | it is a one man shop |
| 01:01.01 | tierra|w | but it's rare that you can't get a hold of him |
| 01:01.20 | wps | phone support available? or just email/web? |
| 01:01.23 | tierra|w | I idle in the #linode channel on OFTC and chat with him every once in a while |
| 01:01.30 | tierra|w | yeah, there's phone, IRC, forums |
| 01:01.41 | tierra|w | and a ticket support system |
| 01:01.41 | dataw0lf | heh, I'm about to become the 'Official Ubuntu Guy (tm)' over there. |
| 01:01.50 | tierra|w | haha |
| 01:02.10 | dataw0lf | caker has already forwarded three emails to me having to do with prospective Ubuntu users there. |
| 01:02.11 | wps | and if feels just like your the only one on the box? |
| 01:02.11 | tierra|w | phone number is on bottom of linode.com site |
| 01:03.08 | tierra|w | first starting out I had a number of problems with other people thrashing, but it's never a problem anymore, and I'm on one of the highest load boxes aparently |
| 01:03.27 | wps | thrashing? |
| 01:03.35 | tierra|w | swap thrashing |
| 01:03.42 | wps | what's that? |
| 01:04.08 | tierra|w | 64mb ram + LAMP + mail + whatever else means with a number of requests, your doing more I/O on the hard drive than on ram |
| 01:04.23 | tierra|w | which doesn't fare well when you've got 40 people on the same box |
| 01:04.34 | tierra|w | but like I said, it's never a problem anymore |
| 01:04.50 | wps | because the system has been improved? |
| 01:04.51 | tierra|w | and actually... caker has been playing with this new CFQ timeslice patches for UML |
| 01:05.21 | tierra|w | it's already on all the new boxes he's putting up, and aparently it's working really well for solving that problem completely |
| 01:05.39 | wps | divides the share more equally? |
| 01:05.45 | tierra|w | my host I'm on still doesn't have the CFQ patch, but it's running fine |
| 01:05.57 | tierra|w | yeah, something like that... I'm not entirely sure how it all works |
| 01:06.25 | tierra|w | if there's one thing that's great about linode though, it's the line speeds... insane bandwidth |
| 01:06.45 | tierra|w | the only downside to that is that GB/mo cost a little more than your usual hosts |
| 01:06.59 | wps | I am astounded about the amount of bandwidth they give you |
| 01:07.17 | dataw0lf | it's a pretty swete deal. |
| 01:07.22 | tierra|w | there was yet another thread about the speeds on the forums started today |
| 01:07.23 | wps | you think so? they are several times more than any I have seen |
| 01:07.44 | tierra|w | yeah, faster than anything I've touched |
| 01:08.46 | dataw0lf | I personally think, all in all, the Linode packages are pretty decently priced. |
| 01:09.46 | tierra|w | yeah... the upgrades to any one package are pretty bad prices, and usually mean you might as well just upgrade to the next package up thus upgrading your disk space, transfer, ram, CMR, etc all at the same time |
| 01:13.49 | tierra|w | the great part about that as well is that caker is a genius and has a migration tool setup to upgrade your box and move it to another host in like 5 min |
| 01:13.56 | tierra|w | you keep the same IP too |
| 01:14.23 | dataw0lf | mmmm |
| 01:14.34 | dataw0lf | Ubuntu beating out Gentoo and Slackware on Distro Watch. |
| 01:14.39 | dataw0lf | that's what I be talkin bout. |
| 01:14.43 | tierra|w | haha |
| 01:14.53 | dataw0lf | represent foo |
| 01:18.43 | tierra|w | anyway, yeah, I recommend Linode to anyone ... well, actually, it depends on what your using them for |
| 01:20.29 | dataw0lf | tierra uses it for porn, and it works perfectly. |
| 01:22.47 | tierra|w | definately works great with porn |
| 01:23.41 | tierra|w | dataw0lf accounts for more than 10GB/mo of bandwidth on my site per week |
| 01:24.26 | tierra|w | er... 10GB per week |
| 01:24.29 | dataw0lf | that's movies and pictures of me, not actual use. |
| 01:24.37 | tierra|w | haha |
| 01:24.40 | tierra|w | ^5 |
| 01:24.42 | dataw0lf | ^5 |
| 01:25.05 | dataw0lf | so if f8l falls through tonight what you up to? |
| 01:25.48 | tierra|w | actually, he just called me, and said it was cool if I bring over like one other person... |
| 01:25.57 | dataw0lf | I just felt a sudden urge to party like 30 minutes ago. |
| 01:26.31 | tierra|w | whoa, it was like exactly 30 minutes ago |
| 01:26.37 | dataw0lf | *ahem* |
| 01:26.46 | dataw0lf | I hax0red ur phone d00d |
| 01:27.17 | tierra|w | I wouldn't doubt it... I've been lazy about upgrading Apache, PHP, and MySQL on it |
| 01:27.48 | dataw0lf | I just installed the newest version of Tripwire on mine. |
| 01:27.54 | dataw0lf | so I can knowz if I getz hax0red. |
