Time Nickname Message
01:18 🔗 SketchCow I'm about to walk away from a speaking engagement.
01:18 🔗 SketchCow Mic dropped
01:22 🔗 BlueMax ouch
01:22 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, a bummer.... for them
01:22 🔗 BlueMax :D
01:25 🔗 SketchCow http://i.imgur.com/bCSkP.gif
01:38 🔗 S[h]O[r]T i put soap all over my hands only to find out i have no running water for some reason
02:12 🔗 dashcloud folks: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/10/hosting-company-wants-to-house-your-raspberry-pi-server-for-free/
02:13 🔗 nintendud yeah, I linked that earlier
02:14 🔗 nintendud pretty sweet
02:14 🔗 joepie91 heh
02:14 🔗 joepie91 EDIS has been getting quite some publicity with that
02:14 🔗 S[h]O[r]T and what security do you get that they wont just steal them all
02:14 🔗 joepie91 despite running the offer for a few months now :P
02:14 🔗 joepie91 S[h]O[r]T: EDIS has a really good rep
02:14 🔗 nintendud it's a well known hosting company
02:14 🔗 joepie91 especially amongst LEB crowd
02:15 🔗 nintendud I'm considering purchasing a second 'pi to send to them
02:15 🔗 S[h]O[r]T how long have they been around?
02:17 🔗 joepie91 S[h]O[r]T: unsure
02:17 🔗 dashcloud it would really suck if they did steal them, but considering the damage to their rep vs. the cost of a Pi, it's not worth it for them
02:17 🔗 joepie91 ^
02:17 🔗 joepie91 plus, enough people know enough about those involved in the company that they wouldn't get away with theft
02:17 🔗 joepie91 :P
02:18 🔗 joepie91 without going into detail
02:18 🔗 joepie91 so far EDIS has been awesome for me, anyway
02:18 🔗 joepie91 have a small VPS there as IRC hub
02:18 🔗 S[h]O[r]T i guess you just send it and it sits there until it dies, no getting it back really?
02:19 🔗 joepie91 you can get it back when you want
02:19 🔗 joepie91 you just have to pay shipping bacl
02:19 🔗 joepie91 back *
02:19 🔗 S[h]O[r]T ah
02:20 🔗 joepie91 not sure how people are like "THEY CANT POSSIBLY DO THAT FOR FREE"
02:20 🔗 joepie91 I mean
02:20 🔗 joepie91 this is some of the cheapest marketing possible
02:20 🔗 joepie91 Pi's use next to nothing in terms of electricity usage, compared to normal rack servers
02:21 🔗 joepie91 they're small
02:21 🔗 joepie91 and they're probably all on a shared uplink
02:21 🔗 joepie91 cheap marketing stunt is cheap :P
02:23 🔗 S[h]O[r]T i imagine they are trying to get a feel of if they can offer it on a large scale if they could buy enough pis
06:24 🔗 Coderjoe well that's cute
06:25 🔗 Coderjoe on the petabox forums, someone suggested a hardware design change that sounds amazingly identical to the backblaze storage pod, but without mentioning it by name.
06:43 🔗 Cameron_D heh http://i.imgur.com/R2YRk.png
09:17 🔗 Coderjoe so what's up with this bt internet project?
