| daftykins | well well, one client appears to have employed a strategy to guarantee an easy Monday... letting their domain expire | 14:02 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | that'll certainly stop the emails! | 14:02 |
| zxmpi | print it out, wrap it around a can of spam and put it through their window :-P | 14:09 |
| daftykins | hey i'm not masochistic enough to own a printer! mind you he wouldn't let me disable WiFi direct on one of their office ones, anyone can print that wanders past / has the password | 14:12 |
| zxmpi | 'we'd like to talk to you about your cars extended warranty'.... | 14:12 |
| daftykins | there we go, i have sent a lengthy text sharing the exciting news xD | 14:13 |
| knightwise | Good evening peepz | 16:56 |
| knightwise | how you all doin | 16:56 |
| daftykins | ah fighting the good fight as always, yourself? | 16:57 |
| knightwise | doin ok. getting ready for another hectic week (as usual) | 16:58 |
| daftykins | i caught a glimpse of stressful working recently when i was being forced to do too much, didn't like it one bit | 16:58 |
| knightwise | ever listened to some retrowave | 16:58 |
| knightwise | check out 'the midnight' on youtube or spotify | 16:59 |
| daftykins | yeah, that and a fair bit of synthwave too | 16:59 |
| knightwise | helps me focus | 16:59 |
| knightwise | gonna watch some tv over here, cyaguys later | 17:00 |
| daftykins | enjoy o/ | 17:00 |
| daftykins | just came back into the office after some TV episodes :) seems a nice way to start the day | 17:00 |
| * penguin42 was trying to figure out what the Helium blockchain stuff is; seems someone is monetising Lorawan? | 17:02 | |
| daftykins | hmm not encountered any o' that | 17:05 |
| penguin42 | I hadn't but then someone asked my dad what an aerial was on a house next to theirs; he did some digging and came to the conclusion it was for a Helium minor and I've been reading up on it | 17:06 |
| penguin42 | I think it's proof-of-connectivity rather than proof-of-work; and people are paying some local IT people to put them up to mine | 17:07 |
| daftykins | o0 | 17:07 |
| penguin42 | I can't quite figure the hardware out; but I think they're selling basically an outdoor boxed Pi with aerial, and a Lorawan module and maybe a crypto chip?? for about £600 | 17:10 |
| zxmpi | that's not cheap | 17:11 |
| penguin42 | indeed | 17:11 |
| daftykins | sounds like a con | 17:11 |
| daftykins | :D | 17:11 |
| penguin42 | and people seem to be snapping them up and thinking they're makingmoney | 17:11 |
| zxmpi | the whole point of lorawan was that it was gonna be accessible AND cheap i thought | 17:11 |
| penguin42 | hmm | 17:13 |
| penguin42 | so my reading is Helium is a overlay on Lora with crypto currencies to encourage people to add nodes | 17:14 |
| daftykins | hehe, client suggests receiving domain expiry notifications to his M365 mailbox *on* said domain - i said it's a bit late now | 18:14 |
| daftykins | also i am not fond of those circular situations | 18:14 |
