daftykins | i've spotted quite the deal on a local classifieds site, a super fancy Q Acoustics 5.1 speaker set with stands etc for the fronts worth a grand, for £400 :O | 08:12 |

* daftykins chuckles at the emergency call he just got | 17:08 | |
daftykins | that new biz i've been exploring the setup of, they lost their server and their current firm said "you're not on contract so you'll have to wait" | 17:08 |
daftykins | i went up there, their server VM had mysteriously lost its' NIC... | 17:09 |
zxmoypi | how do you lose a server. you leave it on the roof of your car with your starbucks coffee? :-P | 17:15 |
daftykins | :D | 17:15 |
daftykins | better part is on bringing it back, it's now warning that in 8 days the free license of VMware ESXi will expire, then there'll be no more starting VMs | 17:15 |
zxmoypi | or is it like the novel server that was walled off for years and kept working but not novell and only lasted a few weeks... | 17:15 |
* m0nkey_ starts a petition to bring back Novell NetWare | 17:46 | |
m0nkey_ | Bindary tree baby, yeah! | 17:46 |
zxmoypi | didn't every one like typing in pages and pages of dodgy sectors of hard drives before novell would touch them :-) | 17:55 |
zxmoypi | that 200mb drive was a bargin. only 7 pages of dodgy sectors :-) | 18:23 |
daftykins | one per line, or a big grid of values? | 18:59 |
zxmoypi | i remember pages with 3-5 columns of numbers on them | 18:59 |
zxmoypi | 50 per column-ish. my boss saved a few pennies by finding the worst cheapest drives :-) | 19:00 |
zxmoypi | till we started having him type them in and then suddenly half a page... :-) | 19:01 |
daftykins | i've just determined this client is on a 2012 system BIOS for their server which came out in 2012, 10 releases have been made since | 19:01 |
daftykins | er, oops repetition on the 2012 | 19:01 |
daftykins | OS was EOL September 2018, VM's OS is EOL this October... | 19:01 |
zxmoypi | freedos \o/ | 19:02 |
