The idle class has no 01:01 < caker> 38 class data, since it doesn't really apply here. 01:01 < caker> looking at the code, it looks like there's a timeout for requests in that class, so they will get processed eventually 01:01 < TheFirst> hmmm so for the idiot that i am....that's helpful how? ;) 01:01 < caker> the grace period looks very short, however 01:02 < caker> can set that prio on thrashers' kernel thread that serves block requests from the 01:02 < caker> "host" 01:03 < TheFirst> you know this trouble had me wondering ... there a way you could detect a thrasher and email them a warning or something like you might be thrashing check it out? was monkeying around with some av filtering yesterday and got me thinking something like that would be useful... 01:03 < caker> yes -- it's been requested (demanded, even) of us before 01:03 < caker> you'd be surprised how many nodes I've limited to hell ages ago, that are still running/limited/no complaints from end user 01:04 < TheFirst> well cant do much about those guys 01:04 < caker> we will notify the customer if they're a constant thrasher 01:05 < caker> but yeah -- we really should have a policy of notification-on-limitation 01:05 < TheFirst> well i've been tweaking and messing around with my node seeing to some extent just how far i could push it 01:06 < caker> in terms of? overloading running apps? 01:06 < TheFirst> problem is it'll work fine for a while and then apache or something will start chewing up mem and if i started thrashing i'd be unaware of it since it tested fine 01:07 < TheFirst> well seeing just how much i can run without hitting swap....so far i've gotten email/rbl/clamav, apache, mysql, vsftpd, etc ... pretty much everything an avg. person needs running fine on an 80 01:07 < caker> cool 01:07 < TheFirst> figured at some point i'd post a summary of what i did as it seems there's a lot on tweaking apache/mysql on teh forums but not so much of what else can be done 01:09 < TheFirst> the spamassassin being the hog it is got me to being kind of surprised noone's setup a community daemon of it that other nodes could use ... like is the case with those free mysql databases 01:09 < caker> right .. SA was going to be part of that 01:10 < TheFirst> ah that'd be cool 01:11 < TheFirst> my node actually does too many things where i could only run SA and see how well an 80 could handle that but i'd imagine an 80 would be fine for a couple thousand emails a day if that's all the node was running 01:24 < TheFirst> i think i remember reading somewhere about a program for testing an email setup? like sending multiple messages and such to see how much the system can handle...anyone got an idea what the prog name was? 01:24 -!- egatenby [~egatenby@itsb149.itsnpt.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 01:36 -!- Newsome [~sorenson@adsl-75-0-136-70.dsl.chcgil.sbcglobal.net] has quit [Quit: Linux: Now with employee pricing!] 01:55 < taupehat> strings %WINDIR%\system32\dnsapi.dll line 292++ 01:55 < taupehat> freaking microshaft 02:09 < TheFirst> ? 02:09 < taupehat> check it out 02:12 < TheFirst> how about i wait for you to tell me 02:13 * taupehat rubs his hands together and says muahaha 02:16 < TheFirst> eh 02:16 < taupehat> ahh, the suspense! 02:16 < taupehat> hint: check bugtraq from today 03:32 -!- ElectricElf [~dbharris@electricelf.noc.oftc.net] has joined #linode-xenbeta 03:50 -!- encode [~encode@blah.i.hate.w1ndo.ws] has quit [oxygen.oftc.net nobelium.oftc.net] 03:50 -!- tierra [~tierra@ibaku.net] has quit [oxygen.oftc.net nobelium.oftc.net] 03:50 -!- adinardi [~angelo@tux.csh.rit.edu] has quit [oxygen.oftc.net nobelium.oftc.net] 03:50 -!- caker [~caker@caker.netrep.oftc.net] has quit [oxygen.oftc.net nobelium.oftc.net] 03:50 -!- linbot [~supybot@ns.theshore.net] has quit [oxygen.oftc.net nobelium.oftc.net] 03:52 -!- encode [~encode@blah.i.hate.w1ndo.ws] has joined #linode-xenbeta 03:52 -!- tierra [~tierra@ibaku.net] has joined #linode-xenbeta 03:52 -!- caker [~caker@caker.netrep.oftc.net] has joined #linode-xenbeta 03:52 -!- linbot [~supybot@ns.theshore.net] has joined #linode-xenbeta 03:52 -!- adinardi [~angelo@tux.csh.rit.edu] has joined #linode-xenbeta 03:52 -!- mode/#linode-xenbeta [+o caker ] by nobelium.oftc.net 04:15 < linbot> New news from forums: Reboot: host50 in System and Network Status 10:22 < warewolf> know what 10:22 < warewolf> I think I'm going to finally ditch windows at home. 10:22 < warewolf> I' 10:22 < warewolf> I'll pay cedega to be able to play WoW under linux. 10:23 < warewolf> I recently attempted to "go legit" on Windows XP but microsoft gave me the run-around in my attempt to legitimize my pirated (yes, I did it) copy of windows XP 10:23 < warewolf> (btw, they don't like it when you tell them that yes, you pirated windows XP, you downloaded an iso and used a keygen, etc) 12:42 < taupehat> hehe 12:42 < taupehat> can't imagine why 12:42 < taupehat> but I thought they had an " 12:42 < taupehat> "amnesty" site for leet hax0rz such as yourself 12:43 * taupehat didn't bother with the keygen method - corp keys are much easier 13:39 * taupehat finally got around to photographing his car 13:39 < taupehat> http://www.taupehat.com/images/misc/lolmonster.jpg 13:41 -!- ElectricElf [~dbharris@electricelf.noc.oftc.net] has quit [Quit: ] 13:48 -!- ElectricElf [~dbharris@electricelf.noc.oftc.net] has joined #linode-xenbeta 17:22 -!- Fir [~103730197@84.228.13.169] has joined #linode-xenbeta 17:22 < Fir> instruction Google Adsense--> http://planet.nana.co.il/hartk2003/en.htm Download free Firefox® --> http://planet.nana.co.il/hartk2003/Firefox.htm 17:22 -!- Fir [~103730197@84.228.13.169] has left #linode-xenbeta [] 17:58 < fo0bar> what's Firefox? 17:59 < taupehat> a really horrible movie with clint eastwood 17:59 < caker> hmm .. 17:59 < caker> Booting 'vmlinuz-2.6.16.5-amd-1' 17:59 < caker> then nothing 17:59 < caker> odd 17:59 < caker> [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x221a5c] 18:38 < JasonF> caker: I get to play with xen next week at work :D 18:38 < caker> cool 18:41 < JasonF> Yeah.
