Re: unreliable connections

2014-01-22 Thread Charles RAPENNE
Hello, I would suggest a DNS problem.
Do you rsync directly to an ip address or are you using avec domain name
?  That would explain why the first only is failing and not the second
one.
The DNS server you use may have some problems during the night.
If you don't use a domain name, this can't be this. If you use one, you
can add it to /etc/hosts to by-pass it. If this continue to fail, the
problem is elsewhere.
I have been monitoring some public dns servers of ISP (with smokeping)
and some of them were unrealiable during the night. 
Regards

Unfortunately no difference. The attempt to rsync the first directory
failed last night, second one worked fine.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Re: Request for Funding our Electricity

I am resending this request for funding our electricity bills because
it is not yet resolved.

We really need even more funding beyond that, because otherwise all of
this is simply unsustainable.  This request is the smallest we can
make.

Hi everyone.

The OpenBSD project uses a lot of electricity for running the
development and build machines.  A number of logistical reasons
prevents us from moving the machines to another location which might
offer space/power for free, so let's not allow the conversation to go
that way.

We are looking for a Canadian company who will take on our electrical
expenses -- on their books, rather than on our books.  We would be
happiest to find someone who will do this on an annual recurring
basis.

That way the various OpenBSD efforts can be supported, yet written off
as an off-site operations cost by such a company.  If we reduce this
cost, it will leave more money for other parts of the project.

We think that a Canadian company is the best choice for accounting
reasons.  If a company in some other jurisdiction feels they can also
do this successfully, we'd be very happy to hear from them as well.

I am not going to disclose the actual numbers here.  Please contact me
for details if serious.

Thanks.



Hello,

I think this could be great if OpenBSD had somewhere on their website a 
goal/objectif about the money to rise, and the % of advancement of it. 
The FreeBSD Foundation is doing this, I think this is very effective as 
you know if they really lack some founds or if they are near their 
objective.


I tried this method for one little project of mine involving some costs 
(~ 400 € / year), after yelling every year "please give some money, this 
doesn't run for free"... I put a visual show of my needs, then I got 40% 
of my funds the day I put the advancement image of the fundraising.



Thank you everyone for doing what you do for OpenBSD :)

Kind Regards

But, strangely enough, their all good for the rd kernel, the x* series and
the install isos. Also the erroneous shasums are consistent across all
three mirrors...

Having never encountered this issue before I'm not too sure how suspicious
I should be

I had the same problem yesterday. I'm not sure if it's a real problem or 
a hack.




Re: Ruby on Rails and the chrooted nginx(8)

2013-06-09 Thread Charles Rapenne
Hi

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think using Nginx
with chroot is useful when dealing with proxy_pass or fastcgi
application.
If your RoR app is compromised, it won't be chrooted as it's not
running in a chroot. All nginx will do is serving static files.

Re: First macppc install, sensors question

2013-04-17 Thread Charles Rapenne
Hi,

I don't have much experience with Macppc but I think x86 "rules" should apply.

Usually an idle temperature is under 65°C with fan not at maximum
speed. Not idle, If your CPU is getting more than 90°C, there is
problably something wrong with your cooling system.

The temperatures you show are normal.

Charles

Re: Server

2013-03-13 Thread Charles Rapenne
Hello,

It will depend what you want to do with your server.

Firstly, I suggest you to remove your graphic card if you can. It will
make noise and heat for nothing and will increase your power
consumption.
If you need a "simple home" server, to store/share files on your
network, set-up your owncloud and/or run a database for personal
developments, I think your hardware is good.

I can't say if OpenBSD is the best system for your use as we don't
know your use. OpenBSD can run a database (postgresql, mysql, redis,
mongo..), but the performance will depend of your workload.

Best regards,
Charles RAPENNE
