jrwren_anyone know a good program that will tell me torrent info for a given torrent file. namedly the annoucne urls?00:02
jrwren_I tried using python-bittorrent to write somehtin, but DAMN if that isn't a shitty api, I've never seen one.00:03
snap-lI seriously want to find the folks who feel this is music, and stick their head in a dryer: http://glossolaliarecords.bandcamp.com/track/vicious-perversion-and-disregard00:24
snap-lhttp://glossolaliarecords.bandcamp.com/album/clan-dos-mortos-cicatriz-alkmorhilyion < It's like they based their entire careeer off of the last track of Skinny Puppy's Last Rites00:25
paultagsnap-l: what the christ is this00:43
snap-lshit that shows up in my searches for CC metal00:48
jrwren_deluge and python-libtorrent ftw00:49
paultagsnap-l: the fuck00:49
snap-lpaultag: If you put more than 10 seconds listening to it, you're a braver man than I00:50
paultagsnap-l: I went about 30 seconds in and was waiting for the drop00:50
paultagfigured it was new wave dubstep00:50
snap-lhttp://magnatune.com/artists/albums/knewdigate-stillwaters/00:51
snap-lI'd take 50 minutes of dubstep over that00:51
snap-l"Soothing, meditative, soulful piano by qualified Music Therapist00:51

paultagI'll stick with my jams00:54
paultagwhich all sound like acid flashbacks00:54
paultagand I'm ok with that.00:54
snap-lWhat sort of stuff?00:54
paultagsnap-l: right this very second, I've got http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX-5YVVeULA&feature=related on00:54
paultagI love this band00:54

paultagsnap-l: I giggled for minutes this morning watching that01:16
paultagsnap-l: re: carthasy, not bad01:16
snap-lThing is, it's so spot on01:16
snap-lYeah, I like Carthasy.01:16
paultagtotally01:16
paultagthose folks must be hella bummed they said yes to that interview01:17

paultagsomeone needs to put that in the /topic13:16
rick_h__dude, that was a cards against humanity card that we had to explain to my wife and now you're saying you like it best of all13:20

nullspacerick_h__: know of a good source for hand planes that arn't rediciolusly priced14:49
rick_h__nullspace: ebay14:49
rick_h__I've gotten most of mine via ebay and replaced the irons with hock iron/chipbreakers and <3 them14:49
rick_h__http://www.hocktools.com/products.htm14:51
nullspacethanks, hmm wonder why I never thought of ebay...14:55
rick_h__yea, check out millers falls, they're an old brand that makes nice planes14:55
rick_h__that's most of my collection14:56
rick_h__leevalley has the best price/new plane setup if you can get there14:56
rick_h__I just bought a shoulder plane from them should be here on monday14:56
rick_h__nullspace: or if it's a limited thing swing by some time. I've been pulling the woodshop out of mothballs14:56
snap-lhttp://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/24001/senior-systems-administrator-stack-exchange16:31
snap-lIt's a windows shop, but interesting16:31
snap-lhttp://www.metalinjection.net/tv/view/9853/nekrogoblikon-no-one-survives-video16:34
jrwrenthey do a great job, very well designed infrastrcturw16:47
jrwren"Haproxy, Nginx, Redis, and Puppet"   <-- not your typical windows shop :)16:48
paultagmight as well use GNU/Linux16:56
snap-ljrwren: Oh definittely16:58
krondorstacexchange actually had a good argument blog post once for why they used windows where they did and linux where they did17:45
snap-lkrondor: Yeah, I have no qualms over them using WIndows17:48
snap-lit's what they're familiar with, and I'm sure they did their homework17:48
snap-lIt's the ones that aren't pragmatic about it, and have blind brand loyalty that get my goat17:49
snap-land yes, I know that makes me a hypocrite. :)17:49
brouschLINUX ALL THE THINGS17:50
snap-lI've had the best luck with Linux17:50
snap-lA more nuanced opinion: If your sole reason for going with a technology is "we've always done it that way", that's not valid17:51
snap-lIf your reason is "I'm most comfortable with it, and it does what I need", that's valid.17:52
snap-lI find no comfort in using Windows.17:52
krondoryeah which I can't findthe story I was thinking of seems to have been their gist17:52
krondorhttp://highscalability.com/blog/2009/8/5/stack-overflow-architecture.html (ms stack familiarity is mentioned)17:53
snap-lI'd be very surprised of any site that Jeff Atwood or Joel Spolsky built using anything but MS17:56
krondoractually there's some newer ones I should read, I always like reading about other large environment architectures17:57
krondorhttp://highscalability.com/blog/2011/10/24/stackexchange-architecture-updates-running-smoothly-amazon-4.html they've got some thoughts about amazon in there and multi-datacenter17:58
snap-lAmazon is not cheap17:59
paultagit's not expensive, either17:59
paultagI'm using it for personal usage, it's ruddy great.17:59
snap-lYou're paying a premium to not host your own stuff17:59
snap-lpaultag: For low usage, it makes sense18:00
paultagI don't want to hose this stuff18:00
paultaghost* :)18:00
snap-lbut my Linode instance is comparable in price18:00
paultagI use it to spawn up 50 machines at a shot to do some builds and stuff18:00
paultagone instance sure18:00
snap-lpaultag: It's awesome for that18:00
paultagI have a Linode myself, because it's backed by more then ramfs18:00
snap-lif you need to scale up quickly, it's perfect for that18:00
paultagbut for throwing loads at it, it's flawless, and not expensive18:01
paultagI spent 4 bucks last month and i used it like crazy18:01
snap-l"We're noticing 10% increase in traffic. Add 10% more machines"18:01
snap-lThat's what it solves18:01
snap-lit's not good for bread-and-butter computing18:01
paultagnah18:01
snap-lAlso, if you're running Windows, it's ridiculously expensive18:02
snap-land I think that's what Stack Exchange learned.18:02
jcastroSO scales up not out18:04
jcastroalso iirc their cloud stuff was on azure in the old days18:04
paultagjcastro: azure is 2 years old18:04
paultagold days?18:04
snap-ltwo years old is a lifetimein compters. :)18:05
krondor2 years is a long time particularly in things like aws, azure, etc...18:05
paultagbut hardly "old days"18:05
snap-lpaultag: While you ate breakfast, I started a company, had my IPO, and promptly tanked it before you could finish your orange juice.18:05
paultagmmm.18:06
krondorfrom that last link it seems SO has little redundancy actually.  Active in NY (1 DC), read only in Oregon (1 DC).  Surprised they're not more distributed.18:06
jcastrowell, I mean vs. the newer stuff they just launched this summer18:06
snap-lkrondor: They seem to have a more monolithic approach18:06
snap-llike SF had.18:06
krondorscares me for environmental.. water main bursts and ouch! things like that.18:07
jrwrenamazon is cheap. its a whole lot cheaper than doing it yourself, until it isn't.19:17
snap-ljrwren: That's an awesome way of putting it. :-P19:20
snap-lIt's cheaper, until it isn't.19:20
jrwrenyup.19:20
snap-land then it isn't. ;)19:20
paultagthat's deep19:20
paultaguntil it's not19:20
jrwrenwe use it for 20 or so instances, and it is WAY cheaper than paying someone to maintain that many servers. even if we didn't hvae to buy the servers!19:21
snap-lAh, now that's different19:21
snap-lif you're factoring in datacenter dudes, then yeah, it can be cheaper19:22
jrwrenyeah, that is what I mean.19:22
paultagnothing makes you feel like you're alive then blowing a few bucks kicking up 20 large instances for poops and chuckless19:23
paultagchuckles19:23
snap-lYeah, Amazon is great for back-of-the-envelope computing19:24
paultagtotally19:24
paultagrebuilding debian on aws is killer too19:24
paultaga bunch faster and easier to kick off19:24
paultagand run a few at once19:24
paultagwe got us some credits to do that19:24
jrwrenwas great to spin up an instance in ireland to proxy and watch olympics too19:25
paultag+119:25
paultagI was getting my buddy to wire that up with netflix19:25
paultagruddy brilliant (moreso, since 'flix uses EC2 for their stuff, too)19:25
jcastrojrwren, hey20:28
