07:42.04Leedsbetter than snow inside

08:08.23Leedsmorsing: did you see my pics from last night?
08:08.29morsingBecause of the snow?
08:08.32morsingNo?
08:09.02Leedsfalling asleep because of the late night and warm office
08:14.27morsingLeeds: Did you hear back from Andrew Chow?
08:21.36Leedsno
08:25.29sabinef72morning
08:26.50Leedssabinef72: hi

08:27.19morsingsabinef72:
08:27.19morsing!
08:27.27Leedssabinef72: I'm tired and confused
08:27.42morsingLeeds: Too many girlfriend I tell you...
08:28.02sabinef72Leeds: why confused ? who made you upset ?
08:28.10Leedssabinef72: morsing is right
08:28.23morsingLeeds is confused about his sexuality
08:28.28morsing*Huuooowwww*
08:28.31sabinef72Leeds: lol you have a lot of success
08:28.40Leedsno, none whatsoever
08:28.43sabinef72you don't how why one you will chose ?
08:29.23Leedsno... it's not really too many girlfriends
08:29.27sabinef72and you morsing are you also confused today ?
08:30.58morsingsabinef72: Yes
08:31.08morsingWorking from home because of the snow
08:31.34Leedssabinef72: why do women have to send such confusing signals?
08:32.08sabinef72because we, women, love make men upset
08:32.19*** join/#gllug noxis (n=paulr@phuq.noc.clara.net)
08:32.26sabinef72morsing: a lot of snow ?
08:34.37morsingWell, for this country, yes
08:40.53Leedssabinef72: so... your professional advice...
08:41.35sabinef72Leeds: don't make you upset. Enjoy time with her and listen your heart
08:41.38murbmorsing: how lame.
08:42.02Leedssabinef72: but the signals... they're so confusing!
08:43.24sabinef72Leeds: try something, If you don't try you will never know
08:43.44trousers_Yargh!
08:44.27Leedssabinef72: so when I suggest we go to a funfair together... and she starts thinking of people who could come with us...
08:44.53trousers_Leeds: Chloroform always works for me :)
08:45.00sabinef72answers her : I would like to come alone with you
08:45.05sabinef72and see what she will say
08:45.33LeedsI did say that... after being tactful for about 5 minutes and she completely missing my point...
08:47.31Leedsshe replied "okok! got u!" "just think more ppl may have more fun,.. anyway" ";) no problem" "2 of us will be fine, as both of us r talkative"
08:48.07trousers_Can't... Stand... Constant... Contractions... Of... Common... Words...
08:48.20Leedstrousers_: then don't chat to Chinese girls online
08:48.32sabinef72Leeds: did you try to kiss her ?
08:48.41Leedsno
08:49.00sabinef72perhaps you should try one day
08:49.07morsingLeeds: I would say that's a "No"
08:49.17Leedssabinef72: that's sort of the plan...
08:49.34morsingLeeds: Or jump on her belly
08:49.48trousers_morsing: Oldest trick in the book ;)
08:49.55morsingtrousers_: Works every time
08:50.26sabinef72morsing: lol
08:50.48trousers_Anyway, I must now depart -- to school!
08:51.29Leedsmorsing: right, so would I... except... she was the one who asked me when we're going to meet up again... she was the one who has had a go at me because I spent a quiet evening by myself and didn't call her...
08:52.39morsingHmm...
08:52.49morsingI know exactly what you mean
08:52.53morsingWomen are hopeless
08:53.15sabinef72perhaps she only wants to spend good time with a friend
08:54.46Leedsshe's the one who keeps telling me I'm cute... were holding and stroking hands last night, was playing with my hair, my cheeks, my tummy... leaning into/on me...
08:56.25Leedsthat's where things get confusing
08:57.19sabinef72so you have to plan things alone you and her
08:59.43Leedsagain, that's pretty much the plan
09:03.19sabinef72so : GO GO GO

11:22.33bilarhor groups morsing if you want to be fancy
11:22.47morsingNice
11:22.49halior id
11:22.51morsinggroups worked
11:22.55morsingSolaris is weird
11:23.01morsingid won't show it
11:23.05morsingNew that already
11:23.08morsingKnew!
11:23.39haliah, id in solaris only prints the primary gid, how annoying
11:23.49morsingSolaris *is* annoying!
11:23.57haliwell, no
11:24.01haliit all makes sense now :)
11:24.13halithe default /usr/bin/id doesn't
11:24.15halibut /usr/xpg4/bin/id does
11:24.22halixpg4 is "new fancy stuff"
11:24.38halibut they break some compatability
11:24.58bilarhmorsing: i agree, it is annoying :)
11:25.17bilarhwhat is even more annoying about SUN, is that my new X4100's have six Intel NIC's and two nvidia nics.
11:25.27bilarhthe nvidia bastards don't support mii link monitoring
11:25.32bilarhso i can't get bonding working
11:25.40bilarhnot even setting use_carrier=0 for the module works
11:26.08bilarhwhy the hell do they just change nics all of a sudden? the other 4100's we have are pure intel nic's
11:26.08haliit works in solaris ;)
11:26.13bilarhs/are/have/
11:26.25bilarhyeah but sun now support linux on their kit too :)
11:26.29halibilarh: i would guess that x4100 is a "m2" model
11:26.38halisocket f and a few updates instead of the old socket 940 machines
11:26.59bilarhupdates == downgrades
11:27.17haliand if you have 8 nic ports it sounds like that machine has got an addon pci card as well
11:27.18bilarhcpufreak: ever had trouble bonding?
11:27.24bilarhcpufreak: nic's i mean
11:27.32halithe default spec is 4 nic ports
11:27.48bilarhyeah, four intel ones
11:28.00bilarhwhy the hell would you want 8 nic's for a web serer anyway
11:28.03bilarhi despair
11:28.22morsingLinux sucks
11:28.23bilarhbut still, where did the bloody nvidia's come from?
11:29.15bilarhbecause i only have two of them
11:29.29haliwe need at least 5 ports in our webservers
11:29.33haliusually more
11:29.46hali2 front end, 2 back end, 1 for the backup lan
11:29.53bilarhbonding is gay anyway, it should just fail over with a cisco :)
11:30.38bilarhs/cisco/loadbalancer/
11:30.47bilarhey, i'm getting the hang of it
11:32.41haliwell, some people like to run their datacenter in a garage... some people do it right
11:34.21bilarhi'm all for doing it right
11:34.34bilarhi just don't think nic bonding adds that much resilience anyway
11:34.38bilarhalthough it does add some
11:35.00bilarhi think you are more likely to have a failed raid-10 than a broken nic
11:35.00haliit add swtich resilience right, which is pretty important imo
11:35.15halii'd say it's more about switches than nics
11:35.53halii take it there are two switches :)
11:35.59bilarhah, you're right :)
11:36.11bilarhstill, it doesn't bloody work anyway :)
11:37.19bilarhso, at present it is worse than two cups and a string

12:16.26Copeworking in a dungeon? how exciting! do you get to torture people?
12:18.34bilarhcpufreak: umm... doesn't that just disable mii monitoring?
12:19.10bilarhand if yes, wouldn't that mean that we're screwed anyway if the current primary switch goes down (or the interface dies)?
12:19.19bilarhas the kernel wouldn't know if the link is down as it's not monitoring it?
12:19.44bilarhIt is critical that either the miimon or arp_interval and arp_ip_target parameters be specified, otherwise serious network degradation will occur during link failures. Very few devices do not support at least miimon, so there is really no reason not to use it.

14:56.52eyore"What port does DNS run on and what protocol does it use?"
14:56.59eyoreSurely the protocol *is* DNS
14:57.04cpufreakno
14:57.18cpufreakif they're referring to the transport protocol
14:57.25cpufreakthat its either tcp over ip or udp over ip
14:57.39spunglesthat's a loaded question
14:57.41eyoreOh okay so not the protocol for resolving DNS
14:57.49eyorebecuase that is just referred to as DNS
14:57.51cpufreaktypically udp except for large queries, or axfrs
14:57.53eyoresame as the server
14:58.09spunglesdns is a protocol
14:58.12spunglesshrug
14:58.37spunglesthat's the same kind of gay question as 'what happens when you type www.bbc.co.uk into your browser'
14:58.42eyoreudp is the lower level protocol that DNS runs on
14:58.59spunglesyes yes
14:59.04spunglesand there can be several layer 2 protocol
14:59.17spunglesand several layer 1 protocols
14:59.24spunglesthe question isn't specific
14:59.37eyoreaye
14:59.44cpufreakeyore: if the question was from a firewall / port filtering perspective, then my answer is the one you want with respect to protocol.
15:00.10eyoreit was just from the gllug mailing list
15:01.25eyoreIf someone said what protocol was HTML delivered over I'd say HTTP, for DNS requests I'd say DNS. Obviously they both may use TCP or UDP under that and ethernet under that, etc,
15:01.40cpufreakHTTP is tcp only.
15:01.41eyorei'm just in a moaning mood
15:01.47eyoreof course
15:01.59murbcpufreak: wrong!
15:02.07eyoreoh actually yes
15:02.15eyorearen't ACKs sometimes sent via UDP
15:02.28cpufreakno
15:02.33cpufreakin practice http is http only.
15:02.35eyorei remember something dodgy about IIS
15:02.38cpufreaks/http/tcp/
15:02.41cpufreakno
15:02.52cpufreakin practice http is delivered over tcp only
15:03.03murbHTTP works fine over SCTP
15:03.09eyoreI have to confess I've never done anything HTTP related of UDP
15:03.14eyorehere we go
15:03.23eyoreand over pidgeon protocol no doubt
15:03.28murbcpufreak: and unix sockets.
15:03.52murbit just requires a reliable transport.
15:04.09murbso not UDP.
15:04.30eyoreit would be funny if parts of the text of a web page rendered out of order as UDP requests were resent
15:04.51murbeyore: or tcp segments arrived.
15:05.01eyoreaye
15:05.14murbeyore: that would require an aditinoal protocol on top of udp for resends to work.
15:05.21eyoreyes
15:05.27murbwe already have this nice one called TCP which works *directly* over IP
15:05.52antiphaseIP and UDP aren't really distinguishable
15:05.55eyoreDoes TCP usually allow access to partially reformed data where bits are still being resent?
15:06.23murbeyore: that is an implemntational detail.
15:06.56eyorehaving said that of course, in practice it would be pointless, since earlier rendering of a webpage with corrupt characters in it wouldn't be much fun
15:07.07eyoreparticularly if they were tags
15:07.39tripitakaIIRC, it uses udp unless the payload is too big to fit in one packet, then it switches to tcp
15:07.50murbtripitaka: what does?
15:07.51tripitakazone transfers, requests containing security hashes etc
15:07.54murbtripitaka: you mean DNS?
15:07.57tripitakaDNS
15:08.20murbtripitaka: not quite true
15:08.30tripitakasimple request to a non dnssec server >1500bytes, therefore udp, no?
15:08.34murbthe point you switch to tcp is supposed to be ~500 bytes or so.
15:08.44eyoremore than i ever wanted to know about DNS
15:08.48murbmost poeple run with mtus of arround 1500
15:08.54tripitakaah, so not the MTU/MSS
15:08.56eyorebut who knows, it could come up in a test question one day!
15:09.16murbtripitaka: no such things as an MSS for UDP.
15:09.31tripitakaeasynet asked me 'how does traceroute work', throught that was a good question.
15:09.36tripitakagot it wrong though
15:09.44murbtripitaka: that is one of my standard interview questions.
15:09.52antiphaseHow does recursive name resolution work seems to be popular
15:09.53tripitakamurb: ah yes, MTU then
15:10.08murbnext is how would you implement traceroute using tcp probes.
15:10.20tripitaka1. download tcptraceroute
15:10.26murbor as an alternative incase the answer to that question has been leart.
15:10.49eyorei use mtr mainly
15:11.44murbtripitaka: did you get the job?
15:11.44tripitakacan mtr do tcp?
15:11.46tripitakano I didn't
15:11.56antiphasemtr is like using Windows when Busybox would do
15:12.02eyoreheh
15:12.09eyoreit's fast and easy
15:12.23antiphaseIt's also not installed everywhere by default
15:12.33antiphaseNot that /sbin/traceroute is these days
15:12.36antiphaseBut anyway
15:12.42eyorethat is a down side, i have root on all the servers i use regularly
15:12.43murbtripitaka: what was the job? network engineer
15:12.44murb?
15:12.58tripitakathat whole family of apps is too susceptible to firewalls
15:13.08antiphaseSo do I, doesn't mean I can be arsed to install something that provides minimum benefit :)
15:13.12tripitakaI think it was network ops, something like that
15:13.19tripitakacouple of years ago
15:13.33eyoreyeah and some OS configuration operations seem to allow dropping ICMP during busy times I think
15:14.12eyoreor if not options, they just do it.
15:14.43murbif the cpu is maxed on your router you may well not receive time exceeded packets.
15:15.12tripitakaThe network is full of icmp host unreachables, sleeping rough, ignored by passers by, bitten by feral dogs..
15:15.34tripitakathey are the untermensch of IP
15:15.38eyorei have MIMO router. pretty sure the netgear algorithm is buggy and sometimes the dynamic ariel selection routine sucks all the router CPU
15:16.08eyoreso this is a common problem i have
15:16.13murbtripitaka: they don't make very good slave labours though :(
15:16.40tripitakamurb: their payload is weak and unreliable :)
15:16.51eyoreif the lights on the top flash too fast i start seeing packet time outs.
15:16.59eyorenote to self: don't but netgear again.
15:19.27tripitakaI was thinking about generating icmp packets with encrypted payloads for passing super secret messages. After all, nobody notices 'frag required but none set' etc.
15:19.43tripitakabut, couldn't be arsed.
15:20.42eyorelike so many things in life
15:27.06murbeyore: what is wrong with netgear equipment?
15:27.15murbatleast it isn't cisco value(tm)
15:27.29eyorecould just be the new MIMO models
15:28.08eyorethe wifi arial powering algorithm can swallow all the CPU and then it drops packets even for networked traffic
15:28.25eyorealso quite a few of them suddenly die or suffer from sudden drop out
15:28.44eyoresudden drop out even when signal strength is near max
15:28.58eyorealthough apparently that may just be the number of wifi networks causing that.
15:33.37eyorewhat company sells "value" cisco kit?
15:33.50clive-hlinksys
