VaultBot
I'm Vintage's pet bot, I can't reply to PMs/posts.
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:37 PM - Razer looks around
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:38 PM - VintagePC: EEK! *covers up*
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:39 PM - Razer: pretty quiet these days 'round here.
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:41 PM - Razer: So, any clue what happened to your game server?
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:42 PM - VintagePC looks pointedly at reechard
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:42 PM - VintagePC: "network upgrades"
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:43 PM - VintagePC: they moved the fiber backhaul for his dad's WISP from his basement to the tower
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:43 PM - Razer: LOL
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:43 PM - VaultBot: playable character though i enjoyed bl2, although the final boss was a month ago
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:43 PM - VintagePC: sooooo we need to get NAT'd and tied in to the new system
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:43 PM - Razer: that sucks
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:44 PM - Razer: its better than the machine catching fire, tho.
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:44 PM - VaultBot: yep the final round
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:44 PM - VintagePC: I would mind less if it was just us... but we also host tf2c resources and they're starting to get a bit annoyed
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:44 PM - VintagePC: yes
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:44 PM - VintagePC: that is true
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:44 PM - VintagePC: at least the site is up
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:44 PM - Razer: Yah.
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:44 PM - VintagePC: better than last December when ASO had a small clusterfuck and everything shit the bed in their VPS dc
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:45 PM - Razer: still hosting it at the same place?
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:45 PM - VintagePC: ASmallOrange
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:45 PM - Razer: Okay
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:46 PM - VintagePC: that was a pretty weird story though... the VPSes had a meltdown, and they couldn't remote in to fix stuff because a disgruntled ex-employee was DDoSing the VPN
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:46 PM - VintagePC: that was followed up by hardware failures and other random shit
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:46 PM - Razer: sounds all too familiar
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:47 PM - VintagePC: pretty much the only reason it's stable now is that a bunch of people probably got fed up and left after a month of no website
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:47 PM - Razer: *nod*
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:47 PM - VintagePC: We had plans to actually buy a 1U dedi so we could shove it in their DC and be off the awful VPS
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:47 PM - VintagePC: buuuut
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:48 PM - Razer: the down-side to cheap hosting
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:48 PM - VintagePC: a while back they outsourced a bunch of people
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:48 PM - Razer: yup.
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:48 PM - VintagePC: and I'll leave you to infer what the implications of that are. But for now, we still get it for free
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:48 PM - Razer: thats no surprise either.
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:49 PM - VintagePC: I think ASO got bought out by some giant corporate in there too somewhere
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:49 PM - Razer: that reminds me, I need to see about selling the retired contents of my home rack
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:50 PM - VintagePC: anything good?
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:50 PM - Razer: http://i.imgur.com/2Bsra0w.jpg
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:51 PM - VintagePC: datsalottastorage
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:51 PM - Razer: two DL380G4 and a DL385G4, and two SCSI arrays
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:51 PM - Razer: its only a couple T's
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:52 PM - VintagePC: IIRC our beastbox is a DL580
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:52 PM - Razer: what gen?
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:55 PM - VintagePC: G5
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:55 PM - VintagePC: http://www.vaultf4.com/threads/thank-you-vaultlings.2455/
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:55 PM - VintagePC: pis & spesc
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:55 PM - VintagePC: *specs
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:55 PM - VintagePC: we have its smaller sister on a shelf somewhere for spare bits
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:56 PM - VintagePC: or a second box, but that is overly optimistic of me
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:56 PM - Razer: Thats a nice box.
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:56 PM - VintagePC: unless we want to run, say, more than one minecraft server
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:57 PM - VintagePC: yes, so long as we don't have to pay to colo it
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:57 PM - VintagePC: 4u+4x 1000w redundant supplies
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:57 PM - VintagePC: not cheap at all
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:57 PM - Razer: Yup. I know how that feels.
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:57 PM - Razer: I shut down mine because of power bills
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:58 PM - Razer: that set in my pic is 2.5KW in power draw
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:58 PM - VintagePC: that can't be cheap
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:59 PM - VintagePC: couple hundred a month. I presume
Jul 20, 2016 at 7:59 PM - Razer: under full load, it cost just under 43 cents/minute
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:00 PM - Razer: averaged closer to 50-60 cents/hour, because of idle time
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:07 PM - VintagePC: damnit
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:07 PM - VintagePC: I wish I could recall where I coded that server message so I can update it
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:07 PM - VintagePC: instead of just adding a second one
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:08 PM - Razer: LOL
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:12 PM - VintagePC: DUH
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:12 PM - VintagePC finds it under widgets
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:14 PM - VintagePC: there are sometimes problems with automating yourself out of a job
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:17 PM - Razer: ROFL
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:17 PM - Razer: I know EXACTLY what you mean.
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:17 PM - Razer: I have a script that does some basic network maint work, and I dont even remember where its running from.
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:19 PM - VintagePC: this is why people think IT veterans laze about at their jobs
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:20 PM - VintagePC: in reality they work hard the first few months and automate all the menial repetitive crap so they don't have to do it anymore
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:21 PM - VintagePC: it's all fine and dandy until shit falls apart and he's no longer there... then you realize the value of the it guy
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:21 PM - Hexalan: Is there a way to not have the site yell at you to get Tapatalk
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:22 PM - VintagePC: ugh, didn't we get rid of that piece of shit ages ago?
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:22 PM - Razer: Aperantly not. :_p
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:22 PM - VaultBot: backbone providers aren't having good handoffs account for a lot in our hospitals
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:23 PM - VintagePC: well, it's disabled now
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:23 PM - Hexalan: Last time I was on here on my phone I couldn't do anything cause all the pages redirected to "GET TAOATALK GET TAOATALK USE TAPATALK"
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:23 PM - VintagePC: I had to X that when I first visited but haven't seen it since
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:24 PM - VintagePC: that app has to be the biggest piece of shit I ever used
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:24 PM - Razer: Yeah, taptalk rather sucks
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:24 PM - VintagePC: I explicitly told it "DONT NOTIFY ME"
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:24 PM - VintagePC: it still sent notifications and drained my battery
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:25 PM - VintagePC: the only app I ever bothered to rate. and it got the bare minimum and a scathing message
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:25 PM - Razer: Ja
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:25 PM - VintagePC: I'mma wager in the next day or two someone will complain it's disabled
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:25 PM - Razer: Oh Hey. Guess what day it is
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:26 PM - VintagePC: I'd say your birthday but you're not purple
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:26 PM - VintagePC: unless you lied to the forum
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:26 PM - Razer: Nah. MUCH more important than that
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:26 PM - Razer: hint: http://i.imgur.com/BNXARzS.jpg
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:27 PM - VintagePC: meh
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:27 PM - VintagePC: come back in three years when it's 50 years ago
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:28 PM - VintagePC: though I do not mean to berate the accomplisment
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:28 PM - VintagePC: seems like every other day is some anniversary of something or other
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:28 PM - Razer: true
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:28 PM - VintagePC: every month has to have it's own awareness theme
Jul 20, 2016 at 8:28 PM - Razer: but some of them are more important than others.
