Re: Feedback about HOT as an isp
So now I use HOT for the infrastructure. I got the 100mbit download 2mbit upload.

Last summer I changed my line from 012 with a gamer's package to CCC without. Latency is much lower. IMHO the program which is most affected by latency is BitTorrent. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

But Bezeq and Netvision are huge companies, and yet they offer not one thing more than the small ISPs (those that are left). I remember being a customer of ACT.com and couldn't have been happier. The moment they were bought by BBL service turned to crap. Connections wouldn't stay up, VOiP quality declined, and service requests (what few I'd needed under ACT) took days instead of minuets. On top of all that ALL larger ISPs in Israel block ports and use traffic shaping. It's insane that after I've paid BBL for a connection of a 5Mb that I need to pay them another 20NIS for a gamers package so that VOiP can work (when VOiP could work as well on an unthrottled line 1/4 the size). If they downgrade P2P traffic, I understand that. I don't like it, but I understand it. But VOiP is not bandwidth intensive standards, and doesn't degrade the network. Gamers, even hard core gamers, aren't online enough that they saturate their slice of the bandwidth. THE ONLY REASON to downgrade traffic for VOiP or gamers is to justify taking more money from them. The large ISPs have every opportunity to offer a superior product. They have efficiency of scale on their sides. But at the end of the day small businesses are still offering a better service, because they don't have the marketing capacity to simply replace abused customers.

Re: Open Source Games or the Lack of Them
For years I been waiting to get the same Windows gaming experience from Linux.Sadly the gap is just get wider over time and I don't think the increase will reverse it self in the coming years. Lucky us technology change rapidly and my expectation is that in the coming years gaming / application will be streamed to our computer from near by libraries. So putting it simply you will have at your disposal the choice of games / application of every OS. What at least render the lack of games on Linux. Here is pick to a possible future: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-w56hQxmnY As for the Opensource concept, I can only hope that in the coming years companies will benefit by using the opensource model. That might give them the ability to harness the community to add extra feature to their games.

It's a sad joke. and other stuff like that. I'd like to mention some reasons for why I think this is largely the case. Reason: Proprietary Games are OK. --- If you read Joel on Software's http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/FiveWorlds.html , you'll see that commercial games play by different rules than what Joel calls shrinkwrap software, which is software (whether open-source or proprietary) that is distributed or used in the wild by many different people. A game must be perfectly right the first time, most games are failures, and generally games require much more effort than just coding the engine. Richard M. Stallman was quoted as saying that game engines should be free, but approves of the notion that graphics, music, and stories could all be separate and treated differently (i.e., Non-Free.): http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/01/09/191257 Since a typical game nowadays costs a lot of money to develop, and requires the collaboration of many people, it seems unlikely that we will see many open-source games that are up-to-par with commercial offerings. When we work on FOSS alternatives to commercial apps: Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice.org, Inkscape, GIMP, Audacity, etc. we can expect the first versions to have some bugs and that some features will be missing even in the contemporary versions, because either they don't matter much to people or because we will eventually catch up with them. But we cannot afford to do it in most games. My hope is that eventually either game engines would indeed be open-source or at least close (because the amount of work done on the engine is minuscule in comparison to the rest of the game) so they can be ported to Linux, or that at least game companies will start supporting Linux better once it gains marketshare, or that wine, cedega, etc. will allow better support. Reportedly, Blizzard has been using GNU/Linux internally to develop their games (World of Warcraft, etc.) and test them, but has not released an official version for Linux yet, or supports it. Reason: Graphic Artists are unwilling to contribute - For some reason or another it seems that talented graphic artists do not volunteer to contribute to open-source/open-content, whether games or other software. You can see some discussion of it here: http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/shlomif.html#third-sharp-perl-reich And scrottie later continued it in this blog comment to a post where a graphic designer expresses moral outrage at being asked by Google to contribute design work to Chrome in exchange for thanks, not money http://use.perl.org/~scrottie/journal/38916 While there are probably fewer professional graphic artists than professional programmers (since many classes of programs require very little graphics design), I still think that a much smaller percentage of them contribute to open-source than programmers. I don't know which percentage of programmers contribute to FOSS on their free time, and there was something that people asked after the 2001-2002 recession, when many programmers became unemployed, why we don't see a flood of Israeli programmers to FOSS projects, where they can gain some esteem, experience, knowledge, and also have something to do in their free time. Nevertheless, there are still enough programmers to make a difference and to even pose a significant competition to commercial offering. I don't know the reason why graphics artists are so reluctant to contribute. But I

Re: Which is the best ISP in Israel when accessing US server using ssh
Yep, in the resnable time effort. 1. Israeli ISPs shift traffic over lines from time to time, due to their notorious tendency to buy STM1 links, due to them being cheaper (a STM4 takes time to fill, and while it's not full, they waste money). Thus, their STM-1s get filled up quickly, and they shift traffic based on alot of variables, depends on what you've bought, the kind of traffic you pass through, etc. Talked with the ISPs getting nothing. They ask for traceroute ( with the hope I wont return ) and then do nothing but bla bla bla. Its cheaper to buy a satellite or lay my own cable to the US then waste eon with the ISPs :) 2. There are four virtual segments to check. a. One is your local loop (meaning the connection from your office to the ISP, and I include in this the connection inside you office). No problem here. I have fast access to other locations b. Two is the connectivity of the edge router that you connect to on the ISP side to the ISP internal core network. Checked what I could with and without the ISP ( refer to my answer to point 1 ) c.

Which is the best ISP in Israel when accessing US server using ssh
Hi, I'm working on a project that require me to ssh to a US server. The problem is that through Netvision Bezeqint the performance are horrible ( though Bezeqint its almost always faster then Netvision ) I don't mind paying double for a better connection.

Re: RAM swap
Tzahi Fadida wrote: Note that postgreSQL has a local swap of itself for doing big sorts etc... However, I have a feeling its more to do with how much time it takes for your transaction to finish. There is an automatic mechanism in postgreSQL that drops the connection if it thinks the transaction got stuck. I usually thinks that if in a specific command in a the plan tree the executor cant advance past a sub plan around 15min which is usually impossible(I think) unless you write your own functions like me. I don't think so because to my understanding the kill came outside PostgreSQL ( kernel ? ) I also noticed the process worked more time after increasing shared_buffers. Note that in postgreSQL functions can only return all their result (materializing) even if it seems like pipping it is not(it was not implemented yet), so all the P lang, J lang, etc... can get stuck. No functions at all :) only plain SQL Perhaps you can increase the time out, however, try first to drop the indices in your tables (+unique constrains which are really indices) and build them at the end. Yes, we did that. or the process could take even more time. We also used prepare to accelerate the insert process besides that, as you already said, you need a bigger swap. (9GB worth :) But thats the strange thing. the swap never get used. Finally, this could also be a bug in postgreSQL though I doubt it. If you write C functions like me (like a second postgreSQL in a function), memory leaks are common :). So check your functions.

Re: sys / db performance block size

Re: sys / db performance block size
After few test, not certain yet i found *Surprise*Surprise* ext3 is quite fast especially when using dir_index This is the command i issued. i was recommended going on Journal size of 400 ( not really sure why ). mke2fs -j -J size=400 -O dir_index -T largefile /dev/sdb1 testing it with bonnie++ brought back better result then Reiserfs. Seems like IBM ServeRAID family not support 2.6 and are close source. I suspect my performance under Centos 4.1 could be much better. Someone advised me to go on software raid as the scsi drivers are much more supported. Any idea ? ( ServeRaid 6i IBM x345 ) Will report back later.

Debian Political standings
Hi Everyone While installing Debian i was asked to choose from which coutry I am. I was suprised that in the country list I found the following entry: Palestinian territories, Occupied Its not that importent but: 1. Does debian need to take a stand in the dispute ? 2. Even if they choose to show the Palestinian territories why they added the Occupied? 3. if point 2 is accepteble why they didnt added Iraq, Occupied or Basque, Occupied or maybe if they really want to state opinions how about North Korea, death camps? Considering the fact that the Palestinian state never existed we can conclude that someone use Debian to say false accusations. I think that the Israeli Community should ask to correct that. I also must clear that I dont take a political stand ( in the list ) for or against the Palestinian or their right for a home land. Cheers -- Canaan Surfing Ltd.

Re: Advice - fastest INTEGER operations CPU
Read somewhere today ( wish i remembered where ) that if the budget is limited and the option are: Dual Opteron 250 CPU OR One CPU 275 ( dual core ) You should go on the single 275. one of the reasons was the balancing between two real cpus slow the performance. Im wondering if that true. Gilboa Davara wrote: Shachar, There's no single answer to your question; in-order to give you better answer I'll need some further information about your software. Here's a couple of points that you might find interesting: (I mostly do kernel-level network streaming/filtering work, so YMMV) * The AMD Opteron *is* the King of the Hill. I found that my HP 385 (Opteron 248/250) and older IBM e326 (Opteron 246/248) to be able to outperform a similarly configured (and priced) Xeon 2.8/3.4/3.6 (DL 380, IBM e345) hands down. Highly memory and I/O intensive applications like my own (which spends days btree searching and memXXX-ing itself to death) seem to *greatly* favor the Opteron's on-die memory controller. (compared to the Xeon's traditional north-bridge design). I'm still looking for ways to use the Opteron NUMA support; I *assume* that xxx_alloc_node will further improve performance. * The dual core option is a true winner. Even the relatively cheap (?!?!) Opteron 265 machine can run circles around a quad Xeon MP machine. (Shared bus designed never really favored 2 CPU configuration.) At less then 1000$ per 265 CPU, building a dual - dual core workstation / server is pretty inexpensive. (I plan on upgrading my private dual Opteron workstation to dual core once I find someone that's willing to buy my left kidney...) * The GCC's x86-64 AMD64 optimization favor the Opteron greatly. Only when we optimized our code with -march=nocona we managed to level the playing field a *bit*. Somehow Intel seem to have skimped a little when it they duplicated the AMD64 (s/EM64T/AMD64/g) As far as I remember the Debian AMD64 port is using -march=nocona to help the Xeon save face. (Same goes for my FC4/x86-64 machines) * The Xeon might close the gap if you have highly hyper-theadable code (little or no I/O [including memory I/O] with a lot of integer calculations). In such a (remote?) case, you might actually see a 10-15% gain per socket, maybe even slightly outperforming the Opteron. However, if you plan on using more then two sockets (dual), a shared 400/533Mhz bus doesn't play nice with Hyper-threading enabled. In general I'd stir clear of Hyperthreading on dual - or -above machines. * Might sound weird... but while working on my previous project we saw instances where an older 2.8Ghz 533Mhz (Prestonia?) Xeon was able to outperform the 3.0Ghz 800Mhz Nocona Xeons. Go figure. * The Itanium (1.4Ghz, Medison core?) has lousy Integer performance and memory performance. Don't touch it. (Or you'll burn... literally...) In general I find the Opteron to be the superior platform. But again, we conducted out tests with our software, so YMMV (greatly).

quite easy: write the error in google and walla: snip from a thread: Whew. I found the reason for the problem. Apache is running as group www and the group file had two groups www with different numerical ids. Must have some historical reason that we use a differing numerical id on a few machines. One of the updates must have either readded the old offending id or changed the way the id is grabbed on daemon startup, so most of the time the wrong numerical id was grabbed, clashing with the numerical id in the file system. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.apache.configuration/browse_thread/thread/71c91167f25ca10d/024e74daa2ceec37?lnk=stq=failed+because+search+permissions+are+missing+on+a+component+of+the+pathrnum=4hl=en#024e74daa2ceec37 cheers Shlomo Solomon wrote: I haven't used Apache much, but quite a while ago, I did set up a (trivial) web page to see how this worked.

There is no problem in having the domain nameservers reside under the domain itself, as long as those domain servers are directly pointed to by the delegating registrar. Why? Because when a DNS cache does a query about a domain it doesn't know (your domain), it goes to the root (.) and asks it for the TLD's authoritative nameserver. Then, it asks the TLD's authoritative nameserver about your domain. The TLD's authoritative nameserver replies with the list of nameservers you supplied to the registrar; If those nameservers are within your domain, it'll also send _in_the_same_reply_ the IP addresses of these nameservers; No loop.

I think ill just ask Netvision to be my slave servers for the Server domain. Sounds a bit complicated, but to conclude: it simply works if you provide a NS hostname and IP address in the registrar. ;-) = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: HTML to PDF
I asked this on the 27/7/2002 I want to convert html pages to jpg/gif images. The plane is more like: 1. print a Web page to file 2. convert ps to jpg or gif How can I print from console ( with color ) to file a web page ? Does any body have a better way then i wrote above ? --- Zvi Harel Wrote: Html2ps (http://www.tdb.uu.se/~jan/html2ps-1.0b3) will convert html2ps, together with graphics, and gs (ghostscript) will convert ps to ppm (using -sDEVICE=ppmraw; see man ppm(5) about the portable pixmap file format), ppmtogif or ppmtojpeg will convert ppm to gif or jpeg, resp. (in RedHat 7.3, the latter programs are in the netpbm-progs-9.24-3 package). Using this approach you can control much better the quality of your images, and you can automate it by writing shell scripts to do it. --- Yotam Rubin Wrote: You could do the following: Start a new X-server, possibly xvfb. Call mozilla, sleep 30, use imagemagick's import program to obtain a screenshot of the website, use imagemagick's convert program to do some processing on the newly acquired snapshot. It's crude, but it should work. --- Matan Ziv-Av Wrote: If you want a text representation of the page, the lynx -dump should do what you want. If you want graphics representation, then as far as I know there are no such tools, but links-2 has graphics mode with a modular output drivers architecture, so I guess that adding a graphics -dump mode should be easy. --- Dan Kenigsberg Wrote: For some reason I fail to use netscape -remote, but if it wasn't deprecated you could: netscape netscape -remote openURL(http://your.url) netscape -remote SaveAs(site.ps, PostScript) gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -dBATCH -sOutputFile=site.jpg site.ps I know people are doing similar things on top of a framebuffer X server, so everything can be done safely from a script. Disclaimer: never tried it myself. And the next one: It is extremely impolite to quote myself, and furthermore say almost the same, but for the sake of the archive, I have to state that the following works just fine (though long ps file should be broken, I suppose): $ Xvfb :1 $ DISPLAY=:1 netscape $ DISPLAY=:1 netscape -remote openURL(iglu.org.il) $ DISPLAY=:1 netscape -remote saveAs(iglu.ps,PostScript) $ gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=iglu.jpg iglu.ps Anyone have an idea why this nice -remote option was not ported completely into mozilla?

Software RAID Hot Swap under Linux
Hi Everyone im going to get a new IBM / DELL rackable server. I thought of using software raid and save the expenses of Hardware one. The raid is going to be a simple mirror raid of two SCSI HD.

( assuming im using simple 2 HD mirror ) Is it possible to Hot Swap the faulty HD in the software solution ? the IBM spec say the bay scsi adapter support hotswap.
