bertieb

That's unfortunate

But you've saved yourself some money

rahuldottech

@bertieb yeah well

@bertieb $2 lol

bertieb

and some pain in a year's time when the actual renewal price kicks in

rahuldottech

It's ok

I gotta learn to deal with setbacks. This is minor. No biggie.

In other news

bertieb

Is that meant to be a Microsoft flag?

bertieb

Oh man, stuff on AliExpress is cheap

But that delivery time

China, y u so far away

Looking to buy replacement speaker foam rings

As the ones I made using a sheet of foam didn't work so good

So I host and use findip.win to quickly find IPV4 addresses

But renewal cost is $28 which is not something I'm willing to spend rn

So it'll probably be replaced by ipv4.rad.blue and ipv6.rad.blue

@rahuldottech checkip.dyndns.org whatismyip.com whatismyip.net?

Seems like there's a million and one of these for v4 and v6

Point me if it is irrelevant. My keyboard cursor is just moving automatically to left. I have written this by pressing the right arrow key to stop that. What to do?

bertieb

is there a reason you want to host one?

(out of curiosity)

@AjayMishra Try unplugging / another keyboard and see if it still occurs

Ajay Mishra

16:56

Oh, sorry. That was laptop's keyboard, not just keyboard, sorry for the ambiguity. I am using laptop.

@AjayMishra Clean your keyboard. There is probably some detritus under your left arrow key.

I use one of these:

@bertieb I needed one that echos nothing except the IP, since I was using it within scripts

There's ifconfig.me/ip that does exactly that, but I didn't know about it until after setting up my own

bertieb

18:27

checkip.dynds.org's is pretty much that

but yeah, fair enough :P

@bwDraco - You remember that computer problem I had 45 days ago? Turned out the socket was damaged, the shipping of the motherboard was odd (involves sitting in a warehouse in a city hammered by a hurricane for 3 weeks. Manufacture RMA'ed the board without any charge (so it must have been covered or otherwise defective).

While I would recommend MSI products, their RMA process needs some work, their tracking system sucks.

It showed that it "had arrived" for 3 weeks until it was shipped back to me
