< Namegduf>
Tarinaky: Be warned that burst RAM can be shared between literally every other VPS on the box- and the common virtualisation software permitting burst RAM even permits "guaranteed" RAM to be oversold.
09:39
< Namegduf>
Prices that cheap come at the cost of quality. :P
09:40
< Tarinaky>
For a command I only need to run when I set up the box that's fine :p
09:40
< Tarinaky>
Not the -actual- purpose of the box.
09:40
< Namegduf>
There's regularly cases of hosts charging double for Xen with the same amount of guaranteed RAM, because Xen can't be oversold.
09:41
< Namegduf>
Overselling guaranteed RAM is not particularly unusual.
09:42 * Tarinaky shrugs.
09:42
< Tarinaky>
My point is it only has to work, not work well.
09:43
< Namegduf>
I'm just commenting on the recommendation. For ?3, it might be something you can run with, but I recommend strongly against buying container-based VPSes for anything you care about.
09:43
< Tarinaky>
Noted.
09:43
< Tarinaky>
But seriously. All I want to run on this is rtorrent, screen and sshd.
09:44
< Namegduf>
Ouch.
09:44
< Tarinaky>
Ouch?
09:45
< Namegduf>
Virtualisation stuff can't handle fair distribution of disk I/O, so the result is that there's two kinds of host: Hosts which strictly ban torrenting, and hosts whose VPSes randomly get 95%+ iowait because of disk I/O being hammered by other people torrenting.
09:46
< Namegduf>
It might work out for you, but jeeze I would not want to be on that box.
09:47
< Tarinaky>
I didn't know that.

And it doesn't essentially cause results that bad, it's just capable of it because disk I/O is shared and torrents make lots and lots of spread out requests.

< Tarinaky>
TBH, I think that the disk space limitations mean that for 'heavier' torrenting I'll have to use it as a tunnel rather than a server anyway.
11:03
< Tarinaky>
Which shouldn't involve any disk io at all.
11:04 * TheWatcher is vaguely wondering why you're bothering in that case
11:04
< Tarinaky>
Bittorrent is banned in halls.
11:04
< Tarinaky>
Specifically, it's blocked by the firewall.
11:05
< Tarinaky>
From what I've read I can use ssh tunnelling to bypass firewall blocks of this nature.
11:09
< TheWatcher>
Yeah. Although I suspect you'll need to use it as a SOCKS proxy for torrenting
11:09
< Tarinaky>
SOCks is a Windows thing isn't it?
11:09
< Tarinaky>
Oh wait.
11:09
< Tarinaky>
I have a windows box.
11:09 * Tarinaky facepalms.
11:09
< TheWatcher>
No
11:10
< TheWatcher>
SOCKS is essentially a generic packet proxy. You can use it to do things like dynamic port forwarding
11:10
< TheWatcher>
for example http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/449
11:13
< Tarinaky>
Cool.
11:17
< Tarinaky>
I have no idea if there's a windows version of tsocks though.
11:18
< TheWatcher>
If you're using something like Vuze, that has SOCKS support built in
11:20
< Tarinaky>
Vuze is aweful >.>
11:21
< TheWatcher>
IDK, I never torrent, so
11:21
< Tarinaky>
Moral highground?
11:21
< Tarinaky>
:p
11:21
< froztbyte>
ssh -w, bind whatever client you use to that interface address and just specifically route it out elsewhere
11:21
< froztbyte>
^ another option

No, nothing I ever really want to get

(but as for ad blocking, have at it; I run a filtering proxy and other tricks to do that myself. Haet the malware-laden shit)
11:49
< AnnoDomini>
Ad blocking is not bad.

quick JS question.
18:48
< Alek>
can you meta variables? that is, create, assign, and retrieve variables whose names are created by input elsewhere in the script or in another script?

Alek: I'm not quite sure, but you might be able to do something like $(foo) to get the value of a variable whose name is stored in the variable foo. I haven't actually done something like that in JavaScript, but I might've seen something somewhere...
19:32 nancy [nancy@Nightstar-bbfb909b.CSUChico.EDU] has joined #code
19:33
< RichardBarrell>
In Javascript, no you can't do that. You're thinking of $$foo in PHP. Javascript has eval('foo'), but eval is evil, and so is $$foo.
19:34 nancy [nancy@Nightstar-bbfb909b.CSUChico.EDU] has quit [Client closed the connection]
19:45
< celticminstrel>
Eh, I thought I saw JavaScript doing something like that somewhere, but I can't remember. I could certainly just be getting confused with PHP.
19:57
< ToxicFrog>
Alek: not to my knowledge, but I'm pretty sure JS has associative arrays, so you can just use those.
20:01
< celticminstrel>
From what I've heard, it doesn't have a separate associative array type but treats all objects as associative arrays.
20:04
< ToxicFrog>
Yes.
20:05
< ToxicFrog>
So yeah, rather than using globals for this (which is a bad idea even in languages which permit it), store the relevant data in an AA and then just data[foo].

meeh.

ok.
20:41
< Alek>
seems like it's got objects that are default, too, at first glance. like .length - the example I saw wasn't clear as to whether it was set, or whether it actually checked the length of the array.
