[14:02] <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!
[14:09] <zxmpi> print it out, wrap it around a can of spam and put it through their window :-P
[14:12] <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'....
[14:13] <daftykins> there we go, i have sent a lengthy text sharing the exciting news xD
[16:56] <knightwise> Good evening peepz
[16:56] <knightwise> how you all doin
[16:57] <daftykins> ah fighting the good fight as always, yourself?
[16:58] <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
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <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
[17:02]  * penguin42 was trying to figure out what the Helium blockchain stuff is; seems someone is monetising Lorawan?
[17:05] <daftykins> hmm not encountered any o' that
[17:06] <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
[17:07] <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
[17:10] <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
[17:11] <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
[17:13] <penguin42> hmm
[17:14] <penguin42> so my reading is Helium is a overlay on Lora with crypto currencies to encourage people to add nodes
[18:14] <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
