[00:18] <sarnold> ravage: is it a country mirror or just listed as "just a mirror"?

[05:08] <IshSookun> ravage, we have a latency of about 80 - 90 ms to ubuntu.dts.mg.
[05:08] <IshSookun> With the server I have obtained, the latency will be lowered to 8 ms.
[05:31] <IshSookun> Question: is it possible to use ubumirror and specify which dist archive to sync? e.g if we want to sync only the LTS versions, is that possible with ubumirror?
[05:55] <blahdeblah> asomerset: Out of curiosity, where is mirror.liquidtelecom.com physically?  My path to it from this part of the world is hilaribad: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/hQZkZfHhh3/
[05:58] <asomerset> its kenya
[06:01] <blahdeblah> If anyone from here tried to fly to Kenya via Los Angeles, San Jose, New York, and London, we would tell them they were crazy, but on the Internet... :-D

[07:35] <ravage> sarnold, it is listed as the only mirror for Madagascar at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[07:35] <ravage> and "up do date" is questionable without jammy i think :D
[07:35] <ravage> *to
[07:40] <asomerset> wow now i am curious!
[10:57] <hloeung> blahdeblah, World Wide Web...
[11:00] <asomerset> i just looked at the actual trace now - v4 suggests you taking the "long way round.... go east until you get there instead of come west instead
[16:49] <sarnold> the earth is spinning through the aether in an easterly direction, so if you send the packets east also, they'll fly through the aether that much more quickly! :D
[16:52] <sarnold> ravage: ah, that's fine -- it *is* in madagascar, and it might save transit costs etc for someone; it's not serving as mg.archive.ubuntu.com, those are handled by the Usual Servers https://termbin.com/n80g -- so that server will only be used by someone who configures it, and hopefully they'll know why they configured it that way
[16:53] <ravage> ok. so that up to date flag just looks nice but has no meaning? :)
[17:16] <sarnold> "up to date on the things it's chosen to mirror" is a sane enough thing; I've heard there's issues with the freshness checks, that's perhaps a separate issue :)
[22:26] <blahdeblah> hloeung: traceroute is layer 3, therefore: Internet. (OK, maybe 3.5, depending on how you classify ICMP, but definitely not World Wide Web. :-)
[22:33] <sarnold> it's on the web now! https://dnschecker.org/online-traceroute.php
