| * penguin42 wonders about moving his bytemark vm somewhere; some people have suggested mythic beasts; any thoughts or other suggestions? | 18:50 | |
| daftykins | penguin42: are they getting worse? (Bytemark) | 21:10 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | daftykins: Well you know they got taken over a few years ago? But basically nothing changed; now they're sunsetting their old VM service and forcing a move to a new service | 21:22 |
| daftykins | oh dear i remember working with the old platform, but i've been on digitalocean for years for some clients... and oracle's free-tier for one of my own | 21:23 |
| penguin42 | yeh I do have a orcel free tier VM, but hmm I'm not sure about moving my main VM to it | 21:24 |
| penguin42 | I was holding it for things that needed more RAM | 21:24 |
| daftykins | ah yeah even the Ubiquiti WiFi controller ate up the RAM (i blame Java) on mine | 21:26 |
| daftykins | i can only keep it going with a large swap file | 21:26 |
| penguin42 | heck | 21:26 |
| penguin42 | you run your wifi controller remotely? | 21:26 |
| daftykins | yeah so the APs from all client sites report back to it, works great | 21:27 |
| penguin42 | huh ok | 21:27 |
| daftykins | at one dental practice i once got a call that a tablet wasn't working (they use them for patients to fill out their medical history on arrival) and all i had to do was roll over in bed and look at the android app on my phone to see it was on the wrong SSID | 21:28 |
| daftykins | i had implemented a MAC restricted, complex password SSID specific to the tablets joining their practice LAN, with everyone else on a kind of guest WiFi segment | 21:28 |
| daftykins | really neat pushing firmware updates remotely too | 21:28 |
| penguin42 | nod | 21:28 |
| daftykins | in fact i'm just back from having beer and thai curry with the owner :D it's become our weekly thing! Fridays have a meaning at last | 21:29 |
| penguin42 | haha | 21:29 |
| zxmpi | trying to curry favour with clients :-P | 21:35 |
| penguin42 | probably best not to eat hard foods when dining with a dentist | 21:35 |
| daftykins | xD | 21:37 |
| zxmpi | if daftykins ever gets a proctologist for a client he better not mix the meetings up :-P | 21:37 |
| daftykins | brings a whole new meaning to getting the wrong end of the deal | 21:37 |
| penguin42 | you said you want the finger port open on your firewall? | 21:38 |
| daftykins | xD | 21:39 |
