[03:00] <valorie> congratulations to the new/old KC members!
[03:00] <valorie> thank you all for stepping up again
[03:01] <valorie> there does need to be about 20+ student group to do a good job as a local team
[03:01] <valorie> or everyone doesn't get burned out
[03:02] <valorie> SO everyone...
[09:12] <RikMills> yofel: linode will soon run out. we have asked for more sponsorship but have to assume we will lose it
[09:13] <RikMills> I have tried to set up a backup lxd on bytemark, and can do that ok but can't get ssh port forwarding of a container working
[09:13] <RikMills> not even trying to replicate what you did on linode
 @ahoneybun we only have enough credit for about 10 days. after that, we will need to delete it if we don't want to be billed hard cash
 ^^ linode
 turning it off does not stop it being billed

 @RikMills, I think the card is close to expiring. Though I would remove 2 days before just in case with time zones.
 @ahoneybun, Already expired
 According to the account page on linode
 I think 2 days would work right?
 You mean before we run out of credit? Yes
 I guess maybe we might do a news story asking for (or inviting) a new sponsor for this sort of thing?
 We could though it may be short on time to save this one but it would be good in general.
 @ahoneybun, Yeah, I am not proposing it as an attempt to persuade linode. It is practicaility. My home connection is too slow, so I need to be able to package reotely on a box with good upload
 Gotcha. We may want to place reminders in our Google Calendar to remind us to check on these things.
 For the future ie Bytemark.
 I can negotiate something on the Altispeed side if needed
 They already provide Lubuntu with a fairly decent server
