[01:18] I'm about to walk away from a speaking engagement. [01:18] Mic dropped [01:22] ouch [01:22] Yeah, a bummer.... for them [01:22] :D [01:25] http://i.imgur.com/bCSkP.gif [01:38] i put soap all over my hands only to find out i have no running water for some reason [02:12] folks: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/10/hosting-company-wants-to-house-your-raspberry-pi-server-for-free/ [02:13] yeah, I linked that earlier [02:14] pretty sweet [02:14] heh [02:14] EDIS has been getting quite some publicity with that [02:14] and what security do you get that they wont just steal them all [02:14] despite running the offer for a few months now :P [02:14] S[h]O[r]T: EDIS has a really good rep [02:14] it's a well known hosting company [02:14] especially amongst LEB crowd [02:15] I'm considering purchasing a second 'pi to send to them [02:15] how long have they been around? [02:17] S[h]O[r]T: unsure [02:17] 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] ^ [02:17] plus, enough people know enough about those involved in the company that they wouldn't get away with theft [02:17] :P [02:18] without going into detail [02:18] so far EDIS has been awesome for me, anyway [02:18] have a small VPS there as IRC hub [02:18] i guess you just send it and it sits there until it dies, no getting it back really? [02:19] you can get it back when you want [02:19] you just have to pay shipping bacl [02:19] back * [02:19] ah [02:20] not sure how people are like "THEY CANT POSSIBLY DO THAT FOR FREE" [02:20] I mean [02:20] this is some of the cheapest marketing possible [02:20] Pi's use next to nothing in terms of electricity usage, compared to normal rack servers [02:21] they're small [02:21] and they're probably all on a shared uplink [02:21] cheap marketing stunt is cheap :P [02:23] 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] well that's cute [06:25] 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] heh http://i.imgur.com/R2YRk.png [09:17] so what's up with this bt internet project? [09:18] Cameron_D: who knew the archives were only 12MB? [09:20] All my BT warriors are stuck on uploading [13:22] :< [13:22] Cameron_D: set em back to webhosts lol [13:22] errr webshots [13:23] They are on my home server which is too slow to upload webshots users [13:25] Ah :/ [14:18] hmm, 8bitgeneration.info doesn't resolve [14:59] Expiration Date:07-Nov-2012 12:17:21 UTC [14:59] Last Updated On:09-Aug-2012 15:01:18 UTC [14:59] Yeah, I'm officially worried about that project. [15:00] SketchCow: What project? [15:05] http://8bitgeneration.co.uk/ [15:05] waiting to see if the cache matches that page [16:07] that site works for me [16:09] http://8bitgeneration.info/ is the site. [16:19] yep, that one doesn't work, sorry [16:20] yeah, i found the second link and then tried to compare to google cache for .info.... except even the cache won't load :( [16:35] archive.org is down [16:35] again [16:35] and i was just check something in too [16:37] It's just you. http://archive.org is up. [16:38] indeed [16:39] it was down last night [16:39] i came back anyways for me [16:39] worked well enough for me last night that I posted three messages in the petabox forum [20:09] SketchCow: you'll be happy to know that I finally approved your request to follow me on twitter [20:10] FUCKING... FINALLY [20:55] yow [20:55] chronomex: your background image (on either twiter account) messes with my head [20:58] they are different [21:00] i know, but they're similar enough. it keeps distracting me while I try and read text on the page.
