New Laser login system

[cory]

The laser has a new login system!

Now when you visit laser.vanhack.ca at the space you’ll be prompted to log in using your Nomos credentials.

If you run into any issues, let me or the LCC know asap! We’re all set up to roll back to the old system if needed, so you won’t be stuck if issues come up.

If you’re curious about hacking on the new system, the code can be found here: GitHub - vhs/vhs-laser-access: VHS Laser Access Application

Laser is back up and operational.

In short, the laser won’t fire if the chiller isn’t on - this is to prevent running it without the chiller and burning out the expensive laser tube. The chiller wasn’t on because a plug was part-way un-plugged.

Thanks to @KeyNoteSteve for doing most of the troubleshooting on this one!
