09:19:47 <Halcyon> Morning!
09:20:04 * T3sl4 pokes Halcyon in the face
09:20:15 <Halcyon> Oww, that's my eyeball
09:20:38 <T3sl4> oh, i guess he's got balls
09:20:46 <Halcyon> I got 2 :)
09:22:36 <T3sl4> and she's got balls, but we've got the biggest, balls of them all
09:30:27 <Halcyon> Aww there was a tiny little lizard in my bedroom
09:30:35 <Halcyon> I tried to catch it to put it outside but it has run off :(
09:30:55 <T3sl4> he probably thought you skink
09:31:10 <Halcyon> Hah
09:31:15 <Halcyon> You're on fire today
09:31:30 <T3sl4> don't see those around here much, but not far south you'll see 'em
09:31:52 * T3sl4 stares out his window, eyeing the wastes of ice and snow
09:32:57 <Ampera> HI Halcyon
09:33:08 <Ampera> I hope you got your file because the hard drive it was on is no longer in my computer
09:53:37 <Ampera> Big problem
09:53:51 <Ampera> The board power connector is also nonstandard
10:27:16 <T3sl4> odear
10:58:58 <Ampera> problem solved
11:18:38 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera
11:18:50 <Halcyon> Yes I got the file
11:18:56 <Halcyon> The web downloaded ended up finishing sooner
11:20:51 <Ampera> whatever
11:20:56 <Ampera> I'm building my server
11:25:11 <Halcyon> Did you sort out the PSU issue?
11:51:42 <Ampera> Yes, I have POST
11:55:15 <Ampera> burning a CD to upgrade BIOS
12:04:53 <Halcyon> YAY
12:05:11 <Halcyon> \o/
12:05:53 <Ampera> CD won't boot, but the BIOS has an option to read a BIOS image from a flash drive
12:05:55 <Ampera> so I'll try that

12:13:15 <steve30> hi
12:28:48 <Ampera> Halcyon, success: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/310478241989263371/551214867386990602/IMG_20190301_203027.jpg
12:29:36 <Ampera> The 2x2GB DIMMs I had were I believe RDIMMs, which the board refused to use
12:29:42 <Ampera> but that is literally the only thing that doesn't work
12:36:44 <Halcyon> Mmm, the board doesn't accept registered RAM?
12:37:05 <Halcyon> But nice. 8GB RAM is plenty for basic NAS-type things

12:37:39 <Halcyon> I run 6 VMs of various types on 16GB
12:38:00 <Ampera> this is 5GB of RAM
12:38:15 <Ampera> I'd have liked 8GB, but 4GB of it doesn't work
12:38:20 <Ampera> so one day I'll upgrade
12:38:22 <Ampera> The CPU works though
12:39:32 <Halcyon> Ahh yes, derp
12:39:45 <Halcyon> Awesome :D
12:39:58 <Halcyon> I'm going outside, I have shelving to build in the garage

17:23:47 <Ampera> Halcyon, found this while rummaging through my old files: https://prnt.sc/ms5aqg
17:42:21 <Halcyon> What does that do?
17:42:44 <Ampera> It was a program I made you in Bash to ping a few IPs and log if they were up to a file
17:42:54 <Halcyon> Heh fair enough
17:42:56 <Ampera> It was I think the first time we ever really met on the forums
17:43:07 <Halcyon> Nawwww, memories :)
17:43:16 <Ampera> anyways this server is fucking awesome, I'm really happy with it
17:43:31 <Halcyon> :D
17:43:35 <Halcyon> I'll be back later
17:43:36 <Ampera> It needs more memory, but it's good enough for now. I'm wondering how cheaply I can get 4GB modules
17:43:41 <Ampera> because 24GB would be sweet
17:43:43 <Ampera> k
18:01:13 <steve30> There, I've just finished going through a 150 page document which I've been meaning to read for months.
18:09:49 <Halcyon> Was it interesting Steve?

20:24:26 <steve30> Halcyon, Depends. It was interesting in the sense that I now have a better understanding of how our council tax discount scheme works, and I will feel more comfortable filling the application form in.
20:24:56 <steve30> Otherwise, it was quite boring.
20:25:41 <Halcyon> What does the council tax discount entail?
20:26:30 <steve30> well, because I'm on a low income, I should be entitled to a discount on council tax (dependant on me completing a convoluted form)
20:26:49 <Halcyon> And council tax is? Is that like land rates?
20:26:49 <steve30> I normally pay the full amount of £1200 per year. Hopefully I'll get a couple of hundred off.
20:27:21 <steve30> yeah, it goes to fund the local council and is based on your houses approx value.
20:27:29 <Halcyon> Ah right *nod*
20:27:40 <Halcyon> I think mine are around AUD$450/qtr.
20:28:01 <Halcyon> It's great that you own your own place
20:29:15 <steve30> You pay it regardless of whether you own your house or not
20:29:25 <steve30> Although in my case, my Mother owns the house.
20:31:16 <Halcyon> It doesn't apply if you rent though?
20:31:29 <Halcyon> As in you, the person living in the house.
20:31:36 <Halcyon> The owner is liable for the tax
20:32:01 <steve30> nah, the occupier is liable for it
20:32:07 <Halcyon> Oh that's shit
20:32:44 <steve30> If you rent, the owner may well pay it for you, but it would have to come out of your rent fees
20:33:01 <Halcyon> And if you don't pay, do they come after you as the tenant or the property owner?
20:33:19 <Halcyon> (I guess it would be a quick way to get kicked out)
20:33:22 <Halcyon> But legally speaking
20:34:23 <steve30> I think its a criminal offence to not pay. I'm not sure who would be chased for it. Probably the owner would be chased if they can't find the occupier. But I'm not really sure.
20:34:54 <Halcyon> In AU, renters don't pay council taxes. That's up to the owner to take care of.
20:35:10 <Halcyon> And in some places, renters don't pay for power, water or gas either
20:35:13 <Halcyon> It just depends.
20:35:33 <Halcyon> Of course, rents would be charged accordingly
20:35:51 <steve30> Some landlords will pay these things for you, but ultimately, the cost would be passed on to the tenant.
20:36:08 <Halcyon> Indeed
20:38:26 <steve30> according to wikipedia
20:38:26 <steve30> In general terms: The occupiers of a property are liable, regardless of tenure, or the owners if the property is unoccupied, except if the property is a 'house in multiple occupation', in which case the landlord is liable for paying the Council Tax.[12]
