[08:12] <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
[14:31] <Chunkyz> Hi
[15:02] <m0nkey_> (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
[15:02] <zxmoypi> =^..^=
[16:04] <Chunkyz> *\0/*
[17:08]  * 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"
[17:09] <daftykins> i went up there, their server VM had mysteriously lost its' NIC...
[17:15] <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...
[17:46]  * m0nkey_ starts a petition to bring back Novell NetWare
[17:46] <m0nkey_> Bindary tree baby, yeah!
[17:55] <zxmoypi> didn't every one like typing in pages and pages of dodgy sectors of hard drives before novell would touch them :-)
[18:23] <zxmoypi> that 200mb drive was a bargin. only 7 pages of dodgy sectors :-)
[18:59] <daftykins> one per line, or a big grid of values?
[18:59] <zxmoypi> i remember pages with 3-5 columns of numbers on them
[19:00] <zxmoypi> 50 per column-ish. my boss saved a few pennies by finding the worst cheapest drives :-)
[19:01] <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...
[19:02] <zxmoypi> freedos \o/
