| daftykins | cor, thermostat in the lounge says it's down to 16 deg C in there, almost worth giving the heating a trial run i think | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| m0nkey_ | OK, so I build myself a ESXI box. Now what VMs do I want? | 02:33 |
| penguin42 | FreeDOS | 02:33 |
| daftykins | i thought it was called vSphere these days | 02:33 |
| m0nkey_ | Yeah, well vSphere then. | 02:34 |
| daftykins | i genuinely wasn't sure if they'd kept ESXi for the free tier or something, i requested a trial of vSphere 6.5 a bit ago and got nothing, very irritating | 02:34 |
| daftykins | even the free one i think | 02:34 |
| m0nkey_ | I just downloaded ESXI 6 and installed it. | 02:35 |
| m0nkey_ | Had to customize the installer to include Realtek NIC drivers (it's some old PC with really crappy NIC) | 02:35 |
| daftykins | heh | 02:36 |
| m0nkey_ | Hey, it works. | 02:36 |
| daftykins | hrmm i think i got sent around the houses on the site | 02:36 |
| m0nkey_ | You need a VMware account, but once you create it, just search for ESXI free, login and download. You'll also be given a license key to use. | 02:37 |
| daftykins | yeah here we are | 02:38 |
| daftykins | "Your download request has been received and is under review for download eligibility." | 02:38 |
| daftykins | then it just says "unable to process your request, please try again later" | 02:38 |
| m0nkey_ | Weird | 02:39 |
| m0nkey_ | daftykins, while you're logged in, go here.. https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi6 | 02:40 |
| daftykins | might be an address thing | 02:40 |
| daftykins | yeah same error | 02:41 |
| daftykins | on the 'license and download' tab | 02:41 |
| m0nkey_ | You can always have my key and ISO if you want | 02:43 |
| daftykins | hmm i wonder if it phones home? | 02:45 |
| m0nkey_ | Probably, but I've re-used keys many times, they really don't give a damn for the free version | 02:46 |
| daftykins | :D | 02:50 |
| daftykins | well that'd be pretty neat if you could, sir | 02:50 |
| daftykins | i was so disappointed when i couldn't play with server 2016's hyper-v due to a core 2 quad not supporting SLAT which it relies upon | 02:50 |
| m0nkey_ | pm? | 02:51 |
| daftykins | sure | 02:51 |
| daftykins | watching this "Westworld (1973)" film tonight | 03:19 |
| m0nkey_ | enjoy esxi | 03:20 |
| daftykins | :D i will! or at least try over the weekend :> | 03:20 |
| penguin42 | oh, good film | 03:21 |
| daftykins | Crichton stuff, assuming this was also a book of his, seems to all have a similar theme! | 03:21 |
| penguin42 | the Andromeda strain is quite different | 03:24 |
| daftykins | ah that title rings a bell | 03:25 |
| penguin42 | I could comment on that but it would give a plot trick away | 03:26 |
| daftykins | :D | 03:26 |
| daftykins | 5am! | 05:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | something zmoylan-pi this way comes... | 06:44 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:36 |
| daftykins | wow i can see the whole day in a single screen of scrollback :P | 23:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | and | 23:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | now | 23:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | can | 23:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | you? | 23:58 |
| daftykins | yep! | 23:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | fair do's i can't stand modern silly letterbox screens | 23:58 |
| penguin42 | I guess people have been busy blowing things up | 23:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | we had our blow things up day a few days ago... | 23:59 |
