| dmcglone | Hi everyone | 03:28 |
|---|---|---|
| dmcglone | Anyone here use dydns? | 03:28 |
| Cheri703 | I use no-ip | 03:28 |
| dmcglone | did you buy your domain? | 03:29 |
| Cheri703 | no, I just create a hostname with their free ones | 03:29 |
| Unit193 | Hey dmcglone I use dyn | 03:29 |
| Cheri703 | blah .no-ip.info | 03:29 |
| dmcglone | I finally decided to sign up for dydns and is says I can get a free domain, but I have to update it monthly to avoid expiration | 03:30 |
| Unit193 | You can just use a auto update | 03:30 |
| dmcglone | Unit193 are you using the free services | 03:30 |
| Unit193 | Yes I am | 03:30 |
| dmcglone | is it a pain in the butt? | 03:30 |
| Unit193 | Nope | 03:31 |
| dmcglone | is it .com .net or .org domains? | 03:31 |
| Unit193 | I have my router update it every time my IP changes | 03:31 |
| dmcglone | how do you do that? | 03:32 |
| Unit193 | I don't have a example.com one | 03:32 |
| Unit193 | Tomato | 03:32 |
| dmcglone | so what would my ip look like if I decided to go with the free one? | 03:32 |
| dmcglone | I mean my domain, not my ip....lol | 03:33 |
| Unit193 | dmcglone.dyndns(or other).com | 03:33 |
| Unit193 | I use homelinux.com | 03:33 |
| dmcglone | so it's possible to use a .com address right? | 03:33 |
| Unit193 | not dmcglone.com (unless you pay) | 03:34 |
| Unit193 | Does that answer? | 03:34 |
| dmcglone | yes. do you keep yours private? | 03:35 |
| Unit193 | private? | 03:35 |
| dmcglone | not tell anyone about it | 03:35 |
| Unit193 | Not much | 03:37 |
| Unit193 | I can PM | 03:37 |
| Unit193 | One of mine was last updated "Apr. 19, 2009 5:42 PM" | 03:37 |
| dmcglone | I'm just wondering | 03:37 |
| Unit193 | :D | 03:37 |
| dmcglone | I'm just wondering if it'll be worth the hassle | 03:38 |
| Unit193 | It's not hard... if you use SSH you will love it! | 03:38 |
| dmcglone | thats what I'm sortof afraid of | 03:39 |
| Unit193 | what part? | 03:41 |
| Unit193 | Your choices kinda stink:https://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/domains.html | 03:42 |
| dmcglone | they sure do | 03:44 |
| dmcglone | I'd rather write a php script that would send my phone a message each time my IP changes and just use the IP to access the computers :-) | 03:45 |
| Unit193 | I got it before it went bad (about 4 hosts with better hostnames homeip, selfip, homelinux) | 03:45 |
| dmcglone | well I chose buddy.dydns.biz and it doesn't seem to work | 03:59 |
| dmcglone | Try it and see what you get | 04:00 |
| dmcglone | oops | 04:01 |
| Unit193 | 149.250? | 04:01 |
| dmcglone | I got it | 04:01 |
| dmcglone | it's dyndns, I was typing dydns | 04:02 |
| dmcglone | cool works for me | 04:04 |
| dmcglone | :-) | 04:04 |
| Unit193 | 13.121? | 04:04 |
| dmcglone | whats that? | 04:05 |
| dmcglone | looks like my ip | 04:05 |
| dmcglone | that was my ip | 04:05 |
| Unit193 | yep! | 04:06 |
| dmcglone | I'm working on that site | 04:06 |
| Unit193 | Tri-City is on your ip? | 04:08 |
| Cheri703 | tri city? | 04:08 |
| dmcglone1 | had to restart router | 04:09 |
| Unit193 | Cheri703: The question was aimed at dmcglone | 04:09 |
| Unit193 | On his IP http | 04:09 |
| dmcglone1 | Unit193 I missed the question | 04:10 |
| dmcglone1 | I lost internet for a minute | 04:10 |
| Unit193 | "Tri-City is on your ip?" | 04:11 |
| dmcglone1 | Yeah, i am building that website | 04:11 |
| dmcglone1 | Am I still here? | 04:12 |
| Unit193 | Sorry, I had to check it out | 04:12 |
| dmcglone1 | weird | 04:12 |
| Unit193 | yes you are | 04:12 |
| dmcglone1 | Ah my server went down | 04:12 |
| dmcglone1 | dang | 04:13 |
| dmcglone1 | thats why dmcglone left the room | 04:13 |
| Cheri703 | Unit193: tri-city is for my friend :) | 04:14 |
| Unit193 | I remember you guys talking about that.... | 04:16 |
| dmcglone | okie | 04:16 |
| dmcglone | tried to get up and tripped on the power cord and unplugged the puter | 04:17 |
| dmcglone | lol | 04:17 |
| Cheri703 | heh | 04:17 |
| Unit193 | That's not good | 04:17 |
| dmcglone | it never fails to happen to me | 04:18 |
| Unit193 | When doing anything with comp h/w do you ever forget to plug in the power cord? (that seems to be the only one I forget) | 04:18 |
| dmcglone | I have to plug mine is, my batter can't hold a charge and I can't afford one right now | 04:19 |
| dmcglone | lol | 04:19 |
| Unit193 | I'd be lucky to be able to get linux on the laptop that I have... | 04:20 |
| dmcglone | why so? | 04:23 |
| Unit193 | Really bad resources (128RAM, 500MHz) | 04:23 |
| dmcglone | Use DSL | 04:24 |
| dmcglone | or Mint | 04:24 |
| dmcglone | or use a light desktop on gnome | 04:24 |
| Unit193 | Mint isn't small | 04:24 |
| Unit193 | lubuntu? | 04:24 |
| dmcglone | I'm not sure about that one | 04:24 |
| dmcglone | something like fluxbox on gnome | 04:24 |
| Unit193 | I'm slowly looking for one (mainly use desktops) | 04:25 |
| dmcglone | I see. Cheri703 seen the website so far? | 04:26 |
| Unit193 | Really looking into Lucid Puppy (I want to use debian/ubuntu based) | 04:27 |
| dmcglone | I don't blame you. apt rocks! | 04:27 |
| Unit193 | One website that finds a distro for what you need said I should use fedora or OpenSuse (fedora's sys reqs don't even match) | 04:28 |
| dmcglone | Geez OpenSuse would probably burn your processor up and literally blow up the mem sticks... LOL | 04:29 |
| dmcglone | Well I'm gonna head to bed | 04:33 |
| Unit193 | Didn't plan on using either (might glance at fedora) | 04:33 |
| Unit193 | bye~! | 04:33 |
| dmcglone | fedora is all right, but no apt | 04:33 |
| dmcglone | I'll catch you later | 04:33 |
