00:29.57 | findlay | because they have a really awful bandwidth policy |
00:30.22 | jsmith | Figures. |
00:31.57 | findlay | basically, they try to enforce a bahavior on their clients by throttling their bandwidth way down on any sustained connection, only condoning the typical mindless web surfing/web mail paradigm |

05:50.28 | levi-laptop | Later on, we got the full scoop on the guy. Apparently he's actually mid-20s, like 25 or so. He was a good friend of his wife's oldest son, and when she divorced her husband, they somehow hooked up and got married. |
05:51.40 | levi-laptop | In other words, this 40-something woman married her oldest son's friend (who happens to look like a frumpy 15 year old girl) after divorcing her husband. |

15:47.29 | synic | I need some advice folks... |
15:47.48 | synic | we got a new server, and are using xmission for colocation |
15:48.03 | synic | the problem is that our current production server is in texas. |
15:48.14 | synic | what procedures are usually used to make the move as seemless as possible? |
15:48.51 | synic | like when the DNS propogates to the new server, how do you make sure everything is the same on the new server? |
15:49.11 | synic | mysql seems easy... as it can do remote connection for the short time it takes for DNS to get sorted |
15:49.20 | synic | but things like changing files on the server, email, and etc |
15:50.42 | tensai | sounds to me like you'll need to schedule an outage |
15:51.49 | synic | for some reason my boss (/me eyes xilch) is totally against that |
15:53.09 | xilch | the only outage synic needs is for my foot to be outage his rear |
15:53.33 | synic | :P |
15:54.25 | xilch | but yeah, we will schedule one if we have to. Just trying to avoid a large one |
15:54.37 | synic | we've been thinking about using nfs mounts to keep the filesystem in sync |

15:55.51 | goozbach | where 20 is the size you want |
15:56.08 | tensai | I wouldn't recommend nfs over the internet |
15:56.19 | synic | tensai: why is that? |
15:56.44 | tensai | it's insecure and horribly challenging to firewall |
15:57.59 | synic | any other method we could use? |
15:58.17 | xilch | tensai: by insecure do you mean that it is attacked easily, or that the communication can be read easily? |
15:59.02 | tensai | xilch: yes, both. I've never been much of an NFS fan but then again I'm no expert either |
15:59.22 | tensai | synic: I'd try rsync. run it beforehand so that the outage is shorter |
16:00.12 | tensai | ie. run it before the swap so that at cut time you're 90% there. turn off the old server, cut the dns and start the copy. when it's done, bring up the new one. |
16:00.22 | xbmodder | A robot will guard its own existence with lethal antipersonnel weaponry, because a robot is bloody expensive. |

16:10.50 | hans | lots cheaper than a stone |
16:10.50 | synic | hans: really? |
16:10.53 | Bradipo | Not sure what happened. |
16:14.23 | hans | just happens to some stones |
16:14.37 | hans | too much moisture inside, or can't handle the heat or something |
16:14.49 | tensai | hans: I tried to buy tile just like Alton Brown told me. The people at home depot just looked at me like I was crazy. |
16:15.06 | hans | yeah, I had a hard time finding quarry tile here. never did |
16:15.26 | hans | but you can get smaller tile (I found 6") at tile stores |
16:15.42 | hans | the key is getting something unglazed and thick enough (the thicker, the more heat retention) |
16:15.56 | hans | they're still cheap, although not as cheap as people claim quarry tile is |
16:16.08 | Maquis | goozbach: way cool! |
16:17.38 | hans | synic: if I were you, I'd make the switch at an absolute point in time with the help of rsync such that you have a few minutes downtime max, and then make the old server partially functional or redirecting while dns catches up |
16:17.56 | hans | oh, and lower your ttl on the dns to be quite small in advance so that dns doesn't take long to catch up. |
16:19.37 | synic | does rsync support binary files? |
16:20.00 | synic | a lot of what we need to keep in sync is user images |
16:24.13 | hans | synic: yup |
16:24.18 | synic | woot |
16:24.27 | hans | woohoo, I just pruned my inbox from 100 to 10 |

16:54.42 | *** join/#utah spr (~spr@130.128.71.244) |
16:56.35 | synic | alright... I'm a little confused about using rsync |
16:56.54 | synic | rsync --daemon seems to be ignoring the conf file |
16:56.55 | synic | when running the rsync command on the other machine, it never asks for the password specified in the auth user file |
16:57.00 | synic | just the ssh password |
16:57.21 | synic | then it puts all the files transferred into /root/path |
16:57.52 | synic | rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --rsh=`which ssh` --recursive --times --perms --links ./* domain:bwent |
16:57.57 | synic | where bwent is the "simple path name" |
16:58.15 | synic | that transfers everything into /root/bwent on the machine running rsyncd |
16:58.34 | fozz | no |
16:59.05 | synic | no? |
16:59.08 | fozz | you,re not using rsybcd at all if you use the --rsh option |
16:59.55 | synic | the machine I'm running that command on isn't running rsyncd |
16:59.56 | fozz | rsyncd adresses are like host::repository/directory |
16:59.58 | synic | the remote machine is |
17:00.08 | fozz | rigjt |
17:00.28 | synic | the docs say that if I use :: in the address, it'll use rsh instead of ssh |
17:00.39 | synic | even though I specified the rsh= option |
17:01.00 | fozz | if it,s running rsyncd, you don't need to connect via ssh |
17:01.17 | fozz | you can connect via the rsync protocol |
17:01.25 | synic | I want to connect via ssh for encryption |
17:02.04 | Newsome | export RSYNC_RSH=ssh |
17:02.27 | Newsome | or --rsh=ssh |
17:02.46 | synic | which is what I'm specifying |
17:03.00 | fozz | on the other hannd, if all you want to do is copy some files from one machine to another, then use --rsh=ssh |
17:03.22 | synic | these docs must be messed up then |
17:03.27 | synic | http://everythinglinux.org/rsync/ |
17:03.28 | fozz | but you don't need rsybd running on the remote |
17:03.36 | Newsome | it won't do anything with rsyncd or the rsync conf file |
17:04.30 | fozz | if you use ssh then you are NOT using the rsync protocol or server. |
17:05.24 | fozz | you're just using the rsync client to copy files via ssh |
17:05.36 | synic | hrmm. |
17:05.38 | hans | recent versions of rsync use ssh by default |
17:05.44 | fozz | no need for an rsync server |
17:05.47 | hans | rsync remotehost:/path/to/file . |
17:05.58 | fozz | hans: nice |
17:05.59 | hans | over ssh, everyone is happy |
17:06.09 | hans | -r if you want to do a recursive directory copy |
17:06.22 | hans | be careful, remotehost:/path/to/dir is different from remotehost:/path/to/dir/ |
17:06.31 | fozz | and -a if you want |
17:06.35 | fozz | yep |
17:06.44 | hans | the former will copy to ./dir and the latter to ./ |
17:13.34 | synic | ok, when starting rsync using the host::repository/directory, what password is it asking for if I'm not specifying a secure file? |
17:15.43 | Newsome | "secure file" ? |
17:17.12 | synic | er... secrets file |

21:16.13 | hans | too bad I wasn't in pg. that would have been cool to hear |
21:16.31 | hans | maybe someone at UDOT has been playing too much scorched3d |
21:18.16 | Bradipo | Looks like they need an editor, ``but the shrapnel went in all directions and ripped right through there house and as far away as across the street.'' |
21:18.30 | Bradipo | Should be ``their house'' |
21:19.33 | brailsmt | and there should be some commas... |
21:20.36 | Bradipo | Amazing! How does something like that even happen? |
21:21.55 | hans | as a scorched3d expert, I can attest that if it got just a bit high and the wind were blowing from the east, it's not hard to conceive |

22:06.23 | Peregrine | How about if the whole open source community gets together and mails here one cookie each? We could even time it so that she gets them all on the same day. :) |
22:06.38 | Jayce^ | a sound barrier clap would cause a little more shakeup than the cookies. :) if you've experienced it, you'd know :) |
22:07.32 | bucky | Jayce^, i was there when it happened.. my buddy rolled off the couch and hit the deck... we were sure the refinery had blown up |
22:08.03 | bucky | it broke windows in some houses |
22:08.23 | Jayce^ | yeah, I've been underneath one before too.. |
22:08.47 | Jayce^ | also saw the effect when a pilot did it over a chicken farm :) Killed 3k of them |

22:12.37 | Jayce^ | not all kinds, but some can, yes.. |
22:12.43 | Jayce^ | they stare up at it.. |
22:13.08 | bucky | Jayce^, did you grow up on a farm in central utah? |
22:13.22 | Jayce^ | no, in Washington |

22:13.49 | bucky | ic |
22:13.52 | Jayce^ | Puget Sound |
22:14.46 | Jayce^ | an aviary specifically, and yes, we had 3 types of turkeys there, but didn't have a problem with drowning :) |
22:15.47 | neybar | smarter then the average turkey |
22:15.56 | bucky | they have a nice aviary in Liberty park in SLC.. it's small but nice |
22:16.42 | Jayce^ | actually, wild turkeys are very smart, but your other breeds are dumb as posts |
22:19.09 | tensai | bucky: I went there about 20 years ago. I thought it was pretty cool. |
22:20.10 | bucky | they have a hawk that goes into the tour audience and retreives dollar bills for donations |
22:20.32 | bucky | you just hold the dollar bill up in the air and the hawk comes and gets it |
22:21.04 | vontrapp | i wonder if it would retrieve green pieces of paper |
22:21.49 | bucky | and an eagle escaped one day and the aviary workers were running all over the park trying to find it |
22:22.20 | Newsome | does the hawk take credit cards? |
22:22.35 | bucky | sure.. he just doesn't bring them back |
22:22.51 | Jayce^ | I raised quail for a lot of the falconers in the area I grew up in... very cool to see them playing |
22:24.53 | Bradipo | Newsome: The real test would be to see if the hawk takes silver or gold. :-) |
22:25.15 | Jayce^ | or fingers :) |
22:25.47 | bucky | Jayce^, ever been surrounded by cooing pidgeons? |
22:26.54 | Jayce^ | didn't raise them (we'll had some dove's, close enough) |
22:26.56 | tensai | my crazy landlord in Provo had pigeons. most annoying thing on the planet to wake up to. |
22:27.06 | bucky | the Tracy Aviary takes donations of any monetary form http://www.tracyaviary.org/ |
22:27.10 | Newsome | reminds me of a commercial for _insert_name_of_beer_here_ |
22:27.31 | Bradipo | bucky: Anyone who has been to Washington D.C. has been surrounded by ``cooing pidgeons'' :-) |
22:27.36 | Newsome | The guy has this hawk who goes out and steals beer from the cafe |
22:27.42 | tensai | that would be better. take pigeons with you and let the hawk grab them. |
22:28.06 | Jayce^ | cortunix quail, the best food for them.. |
22:28.17 | bucky | Bradipo, or new york |
22:28.52 | bucky | in new york they poison the pidgeons |
22:29.19 | bucky | and then other animals eat them and die too |
22:29.58 | tensai | in high school we used to hunt pigeons to stuff in biology class |
22:30.18 | bucky | that's why that hawk, pale male, has had so many mates.. all died from eating poison pidgeons |

23:25.26 | bucky | Ultimate Electronics filed for Chapter 11 reorganization in January and store in Utah also will close |
23:26.14 | Jayce^ | yeah, the Orem store has been a major loss for them |
23:26.45 | JoshH | they need to do free hot dogs and sodas to draw people in. |
23:33.43 | levi | All the Utah stores? |
23:34.49 | levi | JoshH: I got free sodas more than once in Ultimate Electronics. |
23:35.44 | JoshH | really? i thought only rc willey did that. at least ive never heard ultimate electronics advertise free soda on the radio. :) |
23:37.27 | bucky | levi i think so http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?BRD=1302&dept_id=181984&newsid=14216067&PAG=461&rfi=9 |
23:37.47 | bucky | Twenty-seven other retail stores in Kansas City, South Dakota, Texas and Utah also will close |
23:38.24 | Jayce^ | I think just the orem store is closing |
23:38.29 | Jayce^ | for utah |
23:40.23 | levi | JoshH: It's not a special event thing... you walk in and browse, and the salespeople ask you if you'd like a drink. |
23:40.40 | bucky | might have a good clearance sale with free hot dogs |
23:40.58 | levi | Lately it's mostly been bottled water, though. |
23:41.00 | JoshH | man, ive been to UE many times and cant ever recall getting a soda there. but anyway, what good is a soda without a hot dog? |
23:41.18 | JoshH | or pizza, rc willey has little caesars there sometimes too |
23:43.17 | Jayce^ | their real problem was just having *lousy* service |
23:43.54 | Jayce^ | only reason I bought my tv there was they beat a competitors price on an open box model (competitor) with an unopened (their own) |
23:44.10 | levi | I never had trouble with their service. |
23:44.26 | Jayce^ | you usually go to one of the SLC stores? |
23:44.28 | levi | I got a widescreen rear-projection TV, had a problem with it, and got it replaced under warranty. |
23:44.33 | levi | Yeah, it was a SLC store. |
23:44.36 | JoshH | ive only been to the slc stores |
23:44.41 | Jayce^ | apparently it's a problem pretty specific to the orem store |
23:44.42 | JoshH | well, and the murray store |
23:44.55 | Jayce^ | most the employees at other stores often commented on it |
23:45.02 | levi | I think I got more drinks in Orem, though. |
23:45.04 | Jayce^ | (had a friend that worked at one) |
23:45.15 | JoshH | utah needs a frys |
23:45.25 | Jayce^ | and a micro-center |
23:45.34 | levi | Frys would be nice. |
23:46.28 | JoshH | with as many geeks as utah has, im surprised we dont have a frys already. im sure they would do pretty good business even this relatively small market. |
23:46.33 | Jayce^ | fry's would make my wife become very mad at me :) |
23:47.42 | bucky | i've been to two fry's... i plan my vacation around it |
23:48.11 | JoshH | ive only been to the one in dallas |
23:48.18 | JoshH | it was huge |
23:48.30 | bucky | JoshH, what was the motiff? |
23:48.48 | bucky | phoenix is an ancient mayan temple |
23:49.08 | JoshH | it was basically like a super walmart, lots of tan and red |
23:49.17 | JoshH | super walmart shape, tan and red colors |
23:49.25 | bucky | la puente is a steam powered textile mill |
23:50.04 | JoshH | ill be going to phoenix for a few days this summer, ill try to check out that frys while im there |
23:50.31 | bucky | the one on thunderbird rd behind lowes is the mayan one |
23:50.48 | bucky | just off the interstate |
23:50.53 | JoshH | cool |
23:51.18 | bucky | west of the interstate |
23:52.24 | bucky | they have samples of all the motherboards tethered with their respective manuals so you can actually touch them |
23:56.14 | JoshH | pc club and universal systems here in SLC are the only local places i know of that carry abit motherboards, my favorite brand. they have them out where you can see them, but not to touch. |
23:57.15 | bucky | JoshH, i got an AV8 combo with a 3000+ winnie for $275 from monarchcomputer.com |
23:57.32 | bucky | overclocked it 2.2 G with stock cooling |
23:57.57 | JoshH | ya, you can get them anywhere online. most of the local here places have kind of a crappy selection though. when i got my NF7-S, universal didnt have any in stock but they ordered one for me and had it the next day. |
23:58.20 | xilch | JoshH: universal on 33rd south? |
23:58.23 | JoshH | ya |
23:58.38 | xilch | they are teh win |
23:58.44 | JoshH | indeed |
