09:45.45 | hali | morning |
09:46.12 | Nafallo | hali: morning... I think. |
09:46.24 | Nafallo | just got back from Telehouse. |
09:46.49 | wethrin | On a Sunday. Poor fellow |
09:47.05 | Nafallo | well. it was Saturday when we started :-) |
09:47.26 | wethrin | Boh. Even worse |
09:48.23 | Nafallo | ripped a core rack apart and put in a new one. moving the core with a second router, a switch and some over-the-floor Cat6 to outside another rack. |
09:48.46 | Nafallo | temporarily until the new rack was seated that is. |
09:50.14 | hali | they are quite strict about under-the-floor cabeling now though :) |
09:50.21 | hali | we got told of for "reducing air flow" |
09:51.15 | Nafallo | Telehouse? |
09:51.21 | Nafallo | I can't imagine. |
09:51.46 | Nafallo | just follow the rules and it's fine. |

12:03.13 | Leeds | would appear that I finally got all my back rent paid :-D |
12:04.09 | Leeds | I should say that it was unpaid for tax reasons, nothing to do with either my agent or tenant |
12:09.26 | wethrin | yay! |
12:10.06 | Leeds | just logged into my online banking to find that I have had about 1.5 months rent paid, and the mortgage gone out, dated tomorrow - and that I have lots of cash after that's happened :-) |
12:10.30 | Leeds | I will probably bring some of it back with me to HK |
12:11.18 | Leeds | in cash! |
12:11.40 | Leeds | seriously, it's the easiest way to get money to and from HK - wads of GBP notes.. |
12:18.02 | wethrin | Not using a cash machine? |
12:19.24 | Leeds | nope |
12:19.58 | Leeds | I have a HKD current account and a GBP savings account here... I can transfer between them, during working hours, at something pretty close to market rates |
12:20.37 | Leeds | I can deposit and withdraw GBP cash to/from my savings account over-the-counter, up to GBP1000 per day with no fees |
12:22.12 | Leeds | *commercial* market rates, that is, not retail |

20:20.59 | cpufreak | hmm |
20:21.23 | cpufreak | how well does linux do LACP? |
20:22.24 | hali | not well |
20:22.45 | hali | or at least the last time i tried it i got some funky flipp flopps back and forth in the switch |
20:23.10 | hali | could have been the switches but neither solaris nor windows have any problems |
20:23.39 | hali | i think i tried it in centos 5 |
20:25.44 | hali | someone said mode 6 (alb) works better if the switches support it |
20:25.56 | cpufreak | hmm |
20:26.07 | cpufreak | I just want to bond like 8 gig interfaces |
20:26.22 | cpufreak | as I've 40TB to move about |
20:26.28 | cpufreak | thinks |
20:26.34 | hali | try it? |
20:26.39 | hali | if it fails it fails :) |
20:26.42 | hali | if not, great |
20:27.05 | hali | spanning tree spasses out for me so had to be disabled, which sort of makes sense |
20:27.43 | cpufreak | err |
20:27.49 | cpufreak | disabling spanning tree is not a good idea |
20:27.57 | hali | on those ports |
20:28.00 | cpufreak | has 20+ switches here.. |
20:28.03 | cpufreak | :) |
20:28.09 | hali | i mean just on those ports |
20:28.12 | hali | not on the switch |
20:28.15 | cpufreak | oh, disabling portfast, sure |
20:28.22 | hali | i can't remember if portfast was enough |
21:40.47 | hali | z00dax: you awake? |
21:46.27 | z00dax | hali: hi |
21:46.42 | hali | z00dax: re 32-bit apps in a 64-bit kernel |
21:47.10 | hali | z00dax: do you know what the reason behind the 32-bit process using more memory on a 64-bit kernel than a 32-bit kernel is? |
21:47.22 | hali | i.e. if i kick up a 32-bit jvm in 64-bit linux it uses way more memory with the same parameters |
21:47.32 | hali | i think we talked about this before once, hence me bugging you about it now :) |
21:49.07 | z00dax | some of the stuff will still go via kernel space, malloc etc - so you'd expect it to return larger block of real memory |
21:49.17 | z00dax | also, is it possible that the jvm and all its deps are 3bit ? |
21:49.27 | hali | yes, all is 32-bit |
21:49.44 | hali | it's some oracle crud im toying with and they ship their own jvm, even 64-bit oracle comes with a 32-bit jvm |
21:50.00 | z00dax | donno then |
21:52.00 | hali | i'll throw strace at it |
21:55.36 | *** join/#gllug xteddy (n=bear@gemini.starshine.org) |
22:06.21 | hali | z00dax: another annoying question then, is there any where to tell yum to always include -devel when installing something? |
22:08.49 | z00dax | why would you want to do that ? |
22:09.15 | hali | so i can compile random stuff |
22:09.21 | z00dax | although, you should be able to either patch yum itself to all -devel's for each package it gets from the command line, or write a small script to wrap around yum and add -devel's |
22:18.15 | Marios_ | is there a pattern we should use for using threadpool ? I am currently using the one here: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/randyp/archive/2007/03/19/60138.aspx |

22:25.24 | AndyMillar | i'm just hunting to find people for a pgp keysigning pub visit :) |
22:25.35 | Marios_ | sorry wrong channel |
22:25.37 | AndyMillar | which is clearly sad :( |
22:25.46 | hali | hm, pgp keysigning at the pub? |
22:26.04 | AndyMillar | hali: combines social activity with something that has purpose :) |
22:26.12 | hali | after 5 pints, i'll let you sign my belly |
22:26.14 | AndyMillar | heh |
22:27.18 | AndyMillar | well, i also figured that lug people would have pgp keys :) |
22:27.46 | hali | well yes |
22:27.58 | AndyMillar | and google (knowledge of all) claims that there hasn't been one in london |
22:28.13 | z00dax | whats that ? |
22:28.38 | hali | im not sure either what the purpose of the thing is? except drinking ale! |

22:31.11 | hali | so is xlhost.com any good for dedicated servers? |
22:31.19 | cpufreak | just use hetzner.de |
22:31.20 | cpufreak | urgh |
22:31.23 | cpufreak | ffs. |

22:32.05 | hali | i just need somewhere to run torrentflux and irc :) |
22:32.07 | AndyMillar | there's a link to xlhost on there? |
22:32.16 | AndyMillar | serverpronto are dirt cheap for torrents :) |
22:32.18 | hali | AndyMillar: some link links to them |
22:32.19 | cpufreak | stupidlinuux |
22:32.21 | z00dax | hali: gandi.net |
22:32.56 | hali | z00dax: hetzner has got some good offers, 4gb ram now in the 59euro package |
22:33.08 | AndyMillar | christ that's cheap |
22:33.13 | z00dax | hali: yup |
22:33.25 | z00dax | hali: they also seem to have resolved most of their issues |
22:33.28 | hali | they can't beat the 9.99pm ovh package though :) |
22:33.34 | hali | £ |
22:34.12 | AndyMillar | ghandi is a cool idea |
22:34.12 | z00dax | the hetzner network has also improved quite a lot |
22:34.21 | hali | z00dax: do they do centos though? can't see it on their site |
22:34.30 | z00dax | AndyMillar: they are good guys |
22:34.51 | z00dax | hali: yeah, they will - you can install it using the kvm/ip they offer, or just get anything and vnc install |
22:35.18 | hali | z00dax: ah cool, so the kvm/ip stuff is free? and is it always available? |
22:35.18 | AndyMillar | ipkvm is handy :) |
22:35.37 | hali | i use rapidswitch for some mail relays and they offer ipkvm on request |
22:35.43 | z00dax | i know they offer it at installtime, they also have some pxe based live distro thing that you can get ondemand and ssh to it |
22:35.56 | hali | request=withing 30 mins ... can be 30 long minuts :) |
22:35.58 | AndyMillar | hali: rapidswitch are awesome :) |
22:36.08 | hali | yes i must say i really really like rapidswitch |
22:36.13 | hali | their services is outstanding |

22:37.03 | z00dax | they had power outage when i went to visit |
22:37.09 | AndyMillar | when did you go to visit? |
22:37.14 | hali | never been, they cheap... we got quotes for a large DW solution there once |
22:37.21 | z00dax | was looking to put something into poundhosting |
22:37.24 | AndyMillar | heh |
22:37.24 | cpufreak | <PROTECTED> |
22:37.28 | cpufreak | thats a box @ rapidswitch |
22:37.37 | cpufreak | its an ex-balckcat box.. |
22:37.46 | z00dax | AndyMillar: humm this was a while back, Nov/Dec 2006 |
22:37.48 | hali | i would guess our boxes have similar uptime |
22:37.49 | AndyMillar | heh |
22:37.58 | z00dax | cpufreak: blackcat moved out from redbus too ? |
22:37.59 | AndyMillar | they've changed a lot since then |
22:38.07 | AndyMillar | blackcat were bought by rapidswitch |
22:38.10 | cpufreak | z00dax: blackcat sold out to rapidswitch |
22:38.20 | z00dax | ah, didnt know |
22:38.20 | AndyMillar | who moved all their customers to their floor in bluesquare |
22:38.25 | AndyMillar | 6 months ago? |
22:38.29 | AndyMillar | or was it longer |
22:39.02 | hali | must be a year now |
22:39.24 | AndyMillar | bluesquare have had a few issues |
22:39.29 | AndyMillar | but they are addressing them |
22:40.12 | AndyMillar | compared to £100 for 0.5A somewhere in london, the £35pm RS ask for makes them worth it |
22:40.41 | hali | z00dax: i like hetzner, "Option of payment: optional" :) |
22:41.18 | AndyMillar | hali: and yes, i do have a silly blog :( |
22:41.51 | cpufreak | no, it was 181 days ago. |
22:42.51 | hali | 181 days ago they moved blackcatz or 181 days ago they moved to bluesquare? |
22:43.02 | AndyMillar | both happened at the same time iirc |
22:43.23 | hali | ah |
22:45.09 | AndyMillar | anyway, the point still stands, RS are awesome value for money |
22:45.25 | hali | for a business yes |
22:46.13 | AndyMillar | pretty good for consumers as well |
22:47.04 | hali | price wise they are ok but there are lots of cheaper options if you don't care that much about availability |
22:47.25 | AndyMillar | where like? |
22:47.38 | hali | hetzner |
22:47.40 | hali | ovh |
22:47.46 | hali | xlhost |
22:47.52 | hali | especially ovh :) |
22:47.58 | AndyMillar | non-uk |
22:48.02 | hali | they do dedicated servers for £15 pm |
22:48.03 | hali | yes |
22:48.29 | hali | there is that manchester company that i can never remember the name of, thats *almost* uk :) |
22:48.46 | AndyMillar | jesus christ |
22:48.47 | AndyMillar | ovh |
22:49.32 | AndyMillar | i should get one of their £14/month ones |
22:50.18 | z00dax | heh, unlimited traffic... i wonder if they mean it |
22:50.29 | AndyMillar | where the hell are their servers located i wonder |
22:50.30 | z00dax | knows a couple of projects that can use mirrors |
22:50.33 | hali | they have some 'fair use' policy |
22:50.48 | z00dax | hands AndyMillar a tracepath |
22:51.02 | AndyMillar | z00dax: last hop i recognise so far is via cat2 in sov |
22:51.06 | AndyMillar | and that's expensive transit :p |
22:52.32 | AndyMillar | ah, they're french |
22:54.12 | AndyMillar | their site is aweful :/ |
22:55.32 | hali | not great no :) |
22:55.36 | hali | i'll probably go for hetzner |
22:55.41 | z00dax | there is always dedibox if you have a french bank a/c |
22:55.55 | hali | my only concern is that all their docs are in kraut |
22:56.12 | z00dax | hali: their support people speak English |
22:56.16 | z00dax | and google.com/translate |
22:56.21 | hali | yes |

22:57.02 | z00dax | AndyMillar: 50gb/month ? ha, whats that for a personal blog with 5 readers ? |
22:57.14 | AndyMillar | :p |
22:57.24 | AndyMillar | blogs don't use that much : |
22:57.30 | hali | that's probably enough for most company websites |
22:57.39 | z00dax | yeah 50 gigs is plenty for most |
22:58.55 | hali | ha, lowcostdeid brags about their vps' being on raid0 :) |
