10:59 <Halcyon> What the?
11:05 <Ampera> ?
12:02 <Ampera> what Halcyon
19:00 <Halcyon> I dunno
19:05 <Halcyon> It's 30C here today
19:08 <Halcyon> Gorgeous day
19:22 <Ampera> 34 over here
19:32 <Ampera> 88% humidity
19:43 <Halcyon> Yuck
20:02 <Ampera> 34F mind you
20:06 <Ampera> 1C
21:06 <Halcyon> Oh
21:08 <Halcyon> That's OK
21:29 <Ampera> Me and Tezzers are going to down on my Discord.
22:07 <Halcyon> Down? Down syndrome?
22:38 <Halcyon> Heheh Tezzers :P
22:39 <Ampera> *town
22:48 <Halcyon> What do you mean? What are you two doing?
22:49 <Ampera> I'm demanding him join this one
23:06 <Ampera> you can ask him when/if
23:33 <Halcyon> Alrighty
24:40 <Ampera> he joins
24:46 <Ampera> I need to stop being tired
24:53 <Ampera> even though I had like a 5 hour nap
25:54 Join: IceGuest_77 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
26:14 <Halcyon> I think they recommend short naps
26:18 <Ampera> Tezzers?
26:22 <Halcyon> Once you go into REM sleep, then sake, you feel shit
26:25 * IceGuest_77 judges Ampera so hard
26:28 <IceGuest_77> Oh jfc
26:33 <DHess_US> Watching IMPS makes me hate Disney. https://impstherelentless.com/
26:34 <Ampera> change your damn nick
26:34 <IceGuest_77> IceChat is such a piece of shit.
26:37 Nick: IceGuest_77 is now known as Tezzers
26:42 <Ampera> that's why I use HexChat
27:21 <Ampera> speaking of which, damian, on the AustNet website where you reccomend clients, maybe stick HexChat on there, or even replace XChat with HexChat
27:31 <Ampera> because HexChat has sort of overtaken XChat in popularity, and is also free on Windows
28:00 <Halcyon> HexChat is cross platform isn't it?
28:01 <Tezzers> I can't change. I should've changed 8 years ago, but I'm in too deep now.
28:10 <Halcyon> lol
28:16 <DHess_US> Some xchat distributions are free.
28:41 <Halcyon> mIRC 6.21 for the win
28:46 <Ampera> HexChat is a fork of XChat
29:01 <DHess_US> I moved from mIRC to xchat. Why would I go back?
29:09 <Halcyon> *grin*
29:11 <Halcyon> I use HexChat
29:12 <Halcyon> :P
29:17 <DHess_US> Yea, I may switch to HexChat on my next system build.
30:15 <Ampera> I'm just saying, if you're trying to show people a good IRC, HexChat afaik is the best truly free IRC client for Unix-likes and NT
31:05 <Halcyon> I think I'll move full-time over to here now, no real need for me to be on Afternet
31:24 <Halcyon> The activity here is actually about the same, notwithstanding the user cound
31:25 <Halcyon> *count
32:20 <Ampera> Eh, I'd say it's a bit lower, but I intend to maintain a standing on both channels, at least for now.
32:27 <Ampera> At least until we manage to get more people to come over.
32:32 <Halcyon> I might pop my head in every now and then
33:06 <Halcyon> Once a few more of the regulars come over, the others will follow
33:06 <Ampera> For whatever reason MATE is nicer than I remember it to be.
33:15 <Ampera> It works really really well now, idk if they did some updates, but it just seems less clunky.
33:21 <Ampera> Maybe it's because I'm more used to Linux as my primary OS
33:23 <Halcyon> *nod*
33:25 <Halcyon> I really like MATE
33:51 <Ampera> I still think WindowMaker is better, but I use that on my tablet, and want a variety of different WMs across my machines
33:59 <Halcyon> Fair enough :)
34:05 <Ampera> wmaker on one machine, MATE on this one, maybe KDE on the HTPC if I ever do a software overhaul on it
34:10 <Ampera> speaking of which, let me update that machine real quick
34:59 <Ampera> What I love about Linux, and Arch in general is how amazingly fast everything updates
35:08 <Halcyon> But yeh we're steadily increasing user numbers which is great
35:19 <Halcyon> A few days ago we were hovering at 30
35:27 <Ampera> I talked to damian about a discord link, and it's not looking amazingly promising.
35:44 <Halcyon> Yeh, he raised a good point regarding people using Discord instead of IRC, which defeats the point
35:57 <Ampera> If an EEVBlog Discord becomes wanted I'll implement it, but it doesn't seem that well implemented yet, and aparently there's some mumblings in AustNet as to if it's really a great idea.
36:11 <Ampera> Nah, I think it's not like that, it broadens the reach of the community
36:27 <Ampera> and with a good, well-implemented link, it encourages people to use IRC on a service they are already comfortable with.
36:30 <Halcyon> Mmmmm sure, but why would users choose IRC over a modern client like Discord?
36:34 <Ampera> and fully updated!
36:57 <Ampera> Then why are we on IRC? Why not bury it and go to Discord?
37:06 <Halcyon> Because I don't like Discord :)
37:07 <Ampera> Because not everyone /likes/ Discord. Some people appreciate IRC for its simplicity.
37:12 <Halcyon> Sure
37:17 <Halcyon> And I believe that too
37:20 <Halcyon> I'm kind of on the fense
37:21 <Halcyon> fence
37:22 <Ampera> but some people don't like IRC, because it's a bit of a daunting service for the layman sometimes
37:26 <Halcyon> I actually don't mind either way
37:36 <Ampera> ZNCs and manual server connections, pretty how you doing auth methods
37:40 Quit: Ampera ([email protected]) Quit: ZNC 1.7.1 - https://znc.in
38:18 <DHess_US> IRC is for people who work and want to get things done.
38:35 <Tezzers> Halcyon: Ditz wanted me to tell you he accidentally reset his znc box
38:37 <Halcyon> I have to say I'm more on the supportive side of the fence though. I'd still like to give it a go for an initial trial period and see how well received it is.
38:47 <Halcyon> Tezzers: I figured :P
39:10 <Halcyon> Tezzers = T3sl4 ?
39:17 <Halcyon> Or two different people?
39:17 <Tezzers> No
39:20 <Tezzers> Tezzers=Tezzers
39:22 <Halcyon> \o/
39:39 <Halcyon> What brings you here Tezzers ?
40:23 <Tezzers> T3sl4 was always T3sl4. He started using T3sl4c0il right around the time I jumped ship. And I also go by Teslacoil4148 sometimes. So.
40:44 <Tezzers> Not the first to ask that question (two diff. people ques)
40:55 <Tezzers> Ampera nagged me to come here >_>
41:13 <Halcyon> Well, welcome
41:23 <Halcyon> This channel is fairly new, only been around for a week or so.
41:46 <Tezzers> I'm well aware.
42:02 <Tezzers> You two were trying to get people over from the chan on afternet when you set it up :v
42:09 <Halcyon> Indeed
42:11 <Halcyon> Slowly but surely
42:33 <Halcyon> We have a bit of resistance from one or two but no matter, we'll get there
42:43 <Halcyon> It was never going to happen overnight
43:23 <DHess_US> Tell them we have cake.
43:53 <Tezzers> I love the Portal songs.

44:14 <Ampera> can y'all fix your fucking SSL bullshit
44:22 <Ampera> so I don't have to keep adding fingerprints or whatever the hell is going on with that
44:23 <damian> lol
44:37 <damian> it's getting fixed at the moment, just waiting for grem this weekend and we'll be sweet
44:38 <Ampera> disabled SSL anyways
44:56 <Tezzers> How about you just not use ssl?
44:59 <Ampera> so that was pretty stupid of me, I reset my HTPC
44:59 <Tezzers> it's fucking irc
45:06 <Ampera> because SSL is always a good idea
45:09 <Tezzers> IceChat doesn't even support SSL without the use of an external client.
45:11 <Ampera> regardless of the medium
45:18 <Ampera> then use HexChat you primate
45:23 <damian> hahah
45:29 <Tezzers> OVER MY DEAD BODY
45:35 <Ampera> easily fucking arranged
45:51 <Ampera> you live in Long Island, just step outside and look at someone strange

46:20 <gremlinz> jesus fucking christ
46:35 <gremlinz> my fucking retinas
46:35 * Retrieving #EEVblog modes...
46:36 <Ampera> I'd say break you for their own needs, but since you have no mental integrity left
46:42 <damian> hahahahaha
46:45 <damian> reminds me of PolarisIRC
46:52 <damian> with a mixture of Matrix vomit
47:00 <Ampera> https://gyazo.com/e6870384dff5f3a2c0eeafca699879c3
47:06 <Ampera> this is how an IRC client should look
47:20 <Tezzers> I love how, okay, so I volunteer with the ambulance corps, you can drive 2 minutes from base, and you're in the "If you're white, black, or hispanic, stabbystabby", then you drive 8 minutes, and you're in nice houses, and another 4-5 minutes and you're in multi-million-dollar houses.
47:21 <damian> that's a LITTLE too plain for me
47:49 <Ampera> What's wrong with it?
47:53 <damian> https://i.imgur.com/R6xcPzb.png
47:54 <damian> this is mine
48:04 <Tezzers> My skin is better than the default... http://www.icechat.net/site/images/icechat7.jpg
48:18 <Ampera> that enough servers and channels?
48:30 <damian> too many
48:34 <Ampera> also mIRC ircs me.
48:36 <Tezzers> I have >30 channels if I join all the nets on autojoin >_>
48:43 <Ampera> because it's paid Windows software
48:46 <damian> that's onyl two networks as well, i have five other networks i'm connected to
48:50 <Halcyon> MY EYES ARE BURNING
49:19 Join: ServalSpots ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
49:35 <Halcyon> ServalSpots: \o/
49:42 <Halcyon> Ampera's being awful
49:55 <ServalSpots> Surely that's redundant?
50:10 <Ampera> https://gyazo.com/3ae89e63f6694a131a6b889f6b7336f7
50:12 <Halcyon> <Ampera> https://gyazo.com/e6870384dff5f3a2c0eeafca699879c3
50:13 <Halcyon> <Ampera> this is how an IRC client should look
50:15 <Ampera> here's a full screenshot of my desktop
50:26 <ServalSpots> Also, seems this here is some sort of Australia based IRC channel... what a thing!
50:38 <ServalSpots> So it's up and running?
50:47 <Ampera> Yeah, it has been for days.
50:47 <Halcyon> Indeed, did you not get the memo ? :P
50:50 <damian> it's crazy!
51:00 <Ampera> Official and everything.
51:08 <Halcyon> Dave has put his official stink on it
51:08 <ServalSpots> Oh my, we have an OP Amp now?
51:18 <Halcyon> I needed someone in America :P
51:23 <Ampera> lol
51:42 <Halcyon> Ops will also be given to those who already have it over on the Afternet channel
52:00 <Halcyon> It seems to work well so why not keep a good thing going
52:06 <ServalSpots> Ohhh, can I request a stetson?
52:17 <Ampera> No, you may only have a fedora
52:22 <Ampera> a red valure fedora
52:22 <ServalSpots> /part
52:26 <Ampera> lol
52:27 <Halcyon> Stetson?
52:30 <Ampera> cowboy hat
52:55 <Halcyon> ServalSpots: Register your nick and I'll sort you out a hat
53:04 <ServalSpots> K, one sec
53:07 <ServalSpots> k, done
53:12 <Ampera> that was quick
53:16 <damian> that was very quick
53:19 <Ampera> took me like 10 minutes
53:22 <Halcyon> Cereal?
53:36 <ServalSpots> (I did it prior to joining, lest I be namepoached)
53:43 <damian> it took him five seconds to register and confirm
53:44 <Halcyon> Ah
53:44 <damian> lol
53:47 <Halcyon> Same as your nick?
53:53 <ServalSpots> Aye
53:59 <damian> oh no, two minutes and five seconds
54:16 <ServalSpots> Though considering this is the only channel I know of on this net, I suppose there wasn't much risk. Still, good practice and all
54:28 <Ampera> you also need it for ops
54:35 <damian> where are you from ServalSpots?
54:44 <Ampera> the land up over.
54:50 <damian> singapore?
54:51 <damian> :P
54:53 <ServalSpots> Western US (California)
54:57 <Halcyon> OK done, you just need to accept it ServalSpots and I always forget the command so damian will remind me (again) :P
55:05 <damian> `confirm ServalSpots
55:14 <ServalSpots> /muhhatmuhcainjeeves
55:57 <Halcyon> `8ball Does Ampera have pants on today?
55:57 <ChanOP> 8ball: Does Ampera have pants on today??? Absolutely yes!!!
56:02 <Halcyon> Thank fuck
56:06 <ServalSpots> in channel?
56:06 <Ampera> it's not wrong
56:09 <ServalSpots> `confirm
56:10 <Ampera> I have pants on
56:31 <Halcyon> Just a calibration test on the 8 Ball :P
56:41 <Ampera> `8Ball Does Halcyon have upside down syndrome?

56:49 <Ampera> pow
56:59 <Halcyon> Fuck
57:00 <Halcyon> :P
57:12 <Halcyon> Seems as though it's within spec
57:36 <Ampera> I'm listening to entirely too much meatloaf
58:05 <Halcyon> ServalSpots: It's still pending, you might need to add your nick at the end
58:21 <ServalSpots> `confirm ServalSpots
58:29 <Halcyon> That's got it
58:32 <ServalSpots> Ah, that was presumably the key
59:02 <ServalSpots> Well look at me Rex Banner
59:11 <Halcyon> You'll have to read the manual regarding commands, because I'm still learning them myself
59:20 <Ampera> Halcyon: https://i.redd.it/m5l5fmr4ai121.jpg
59:43 <Halcyon> I don't get it?
59:54 <Ampera> good for you
00:04 <Ampera> now get to work on next week's lottery numbers
01:27 <Ampera> http://asshens.com <- Halcyon
02:22 <Halcyon> ROFL
02:45 <Halcyon> 10 hours of that?
04:42 <Ampera> sent a message to ThunderSqueak to join this channel, I might message a few people on occasion to join in.
05:07 <Halcyon> No worries
05:18 <Halcyon> As I said, I'm happy to give ops to the existing ops.
05:21 <Ampera> just letting you know
05:25 <Ampera> ThunderSqueak is an op?
05:48 <Halcyon> *shrug*
05:56 <Ampera> so then I'd guess not
08:21 Join: ThunderSqueak ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
08:46 <Ampera> welcome
08:58 <ThunderSqueak> hi there
09:01 <Halcyon> ThunderSqueak: :D
09:19 <ThunderSqueak> hi Halcyon
09:20 <ThunderSqueak> :)
09:24 * ThunderSqueak is alive.
09:44 <Ampera> Yeah, Halcyon, did you hear about the earthquake?
09:49 <Halcyon> ?
09:50 <Halcyon> No
09:59 <Ampera> 7.0 in Anchorage, right where ThunderSqueak lives.
10:05 <Halcyon> Oh gees.
10:19 <Halcyon> Is everything OK there ThunderSqueak? Did you suffer much/any damage?
10:45 <ThunderSqueak> I have broken stuff
10:50 <ThunderSqueak> the roads are worse
11:14 <Halcyon> Sorry to hear. Are earthquakes common there?
11:16 <ServalSpots> A ThunderSqueak has found us!
11:19 <ThunderSqueak> this was near me https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DtSj-vDVYAAUHPI.jpg
11:37 <Halcyon> Fark
11:58 <ThunderSqueak> 10 min walk from me https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DtRxK06U4AAqFoZ.jpg
12:11 <Halcyon> I'm glad you're OK though, I guess if you suffered minor damage then I guess you got off pretty well
12:27 <ThunderSqueak> I did, I have power, heat, and am on the net
12:31 <Ampera> Besides full of holes now, how is Anchorage to live in?
12:43 <Ampera> It actually seems like it's a nice place, good and cold, some snow
12:53 <Halcyon> All things considered, I'm glad to hear it
12:53 <Ampera> lots of wilderness not too far away to do neat things in
13:02 <Halcyon> Ampera: Like let off fireworks?
13:09 <ThunderSqueak> it is actually one of the most dangerous cities to live in in the USA
13:17 <Ampera> Through what dangers?
14:15 <ThunderSqueak> well for instance https://www.statista.com/statistics/232563/forcible-rape-rate-in-the-us-by-state/
14:34 <Halcyon> ThunderSqueak: Sounds like you need to move to Sydney ;-)
14:48 <Tezzers> Anchorage is fucking amazing to live in if you're a charge carrier now. You thought the gold rush was big? Psh
14:50 <Ampera> Ouch, ThunderSqueak
15:04 <ServalSpots> Ahh, there's a Tezzers here as well
15:36 <ServalSpots> I'm guessing a lot of the channel members pay more attention to the forum than I do :/
15:49 <ThunderSqueak> I havnt in a while
15:58 <ThunderSqueak> aftershock just now
16:05 <ThunderSqueak> been getting those all day
16:13 <Tezzers> ServalSpots: The forums last time I looked at it years ago was a giant circlejerk :shrug:
16:15 <ServalSpots> Ah, tipped off to this channel when Halcyon left the other?
16:26 <Ampera> The forums are pretty nice.
16:37 <Ampera> I keep an eye on them and post whenever I feel like I have something to contribute.
16:51 <Ampera> I like the IRC more, becuase it ususally a larger scope and is less moderated than the forums.
17:03 <Halcyon> ThunderSqueak: Most people were supportive of the "change" to Austnet, however a few got their undies in a twist. So rather than piss people off and actively advertise it, I figured it would work it's way out organically
17:15 <ServalSpots> o.o
17:19 <ServalSpots> Who got upset?
17:31 <ThunderSqueak> odd
17:46 <ServalSpots> Erm, if you're comfortable divulging it (assuming it happened in private)
17:52 <Halcyon> Dave has officially supported this channel as being the official EEVBlog channel, whereas jspiros basically said the other one has never been official, it's not moving, it's a stupid idea etc...
18:01 <Ampera> I told ThunderSqueak about it specifically
18:11 <ServalSpots> o.o
18:12 <Ampera> lol, take a guess who isn't a big fan :P
18:14 <Halcyon> He was one of the less vocal ones
18:31 <ServalSpots> Halcyon: The other channel hasn't been "official" in years and years
18:34 <Halcyon> There was another who tried to de-rail the idea publicly in the forum.
18:49 <ServalSpots> How so?
19:16 <Ampera> mrpackethead was going on about how it was a stupid idea
19:21 <Halcyon> Basically accused us of creating division but then on the other hand suggested we all use Freenode
19:24 <Ampera> but it's a change, there will be minor objection.
19:24 <ServalSpots> Though also I think it's important to note that the channel hasn't "moved", since that doesn't really make sense
19:38 <Halcyon> Exactly ServalSpots
19:40 <ServalSpots> There's just a new and official eevblog channel
19:44 <Ampera> ^
19:47 <ThunderSqueak> nope, I figured dave gave up on irc
19:56 <Ampera> However we're trying to get some regulars to join on.
20:07 <Halcyon> No, quite the contrary, he is very supportive of IRC, he just doesn't get a lot of time.
20:13 <Halcyon> But I'm hoping to change that in the coming months...
20:15 <ServalSpots> Though to that effect, it might be a good idea in the mean time to mention in the topic that people might be looking for the other channel
20:18 <Halcyon> We have some ideas brewing
20:33 <Ampera> I thought about doing that, but I'd say wait and see if it's really necessary.
20:35 <ServalSpots> We have a few regulars over there who connect through the web service a few times every couple of months
20:49 <ThunderSqueak> I remember when dave did get onto irc <.<
20:57 * ThunderSqueak was around back then.
21:17 <Halcyon> ServalSpots: I thought I'd leave it at this time, as not to piss jspiros off. We've clashed a few times now and he seems to hold grudges.
21:19 <ThunderSqueak> tho I think he ignores me these days :P
22:00 <ServalSpots> Halcyon: not sure I follow?
22:10 <ServalSpots> You mean the topic thing?
23:07 <Halcyon> Yes
23:44 <ServalSpots> Huh, I can't really see that bothering him. I could ask if you'd like, but I imagine he'd want people looking for the afternet channel to be able to find it
23:57 <ServalSpots> Not that it's really his decision anyway
23:58 <Halcyon> It was either going to go one of two ways, we "move" the channel with everyones support, or it will be a gradual transition. The former didn't eventuate.
24:27 <Ampera> I think we should probably let it be. I do agree with ServalSpots in seeing this channel as a new, official EEVBlog IRC channel
24:34 <Halcyon> I personally would prefer to leave it at this stage while the dust settles so to speak. But hey, if you think it will help, go for it.
24:38 <Ampera> whereas the other one was just an elevated fan channel
25:05 <ServalSpots> Halcyon: I don't know the commands to set topic in here either :P
25:23 <Halcyon> What's wrong with the topic? :P
25:28 <ServalSpots> ...
25:55 <Halcyon> Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, are you saying we should promote the Afternet server as well?
26:36 <Ampera> Halcyon, what he's saying is that perhaps we should put info for the AfterNET channel here, in case people are looking for it and want to join it.
26:44 <ServalSpots> As it were, I suppose. It occurred to me that the folks who ^
27:04 <Ampera> I don't think it's a good idea right now until we determine it's necessary.
27:10 <Ampera> for whichever reason
27:13 <Halcyon> I guess if anyone specifically asks, mention it, but I would prefer we don't create division.
27:20 <Ampera> ^
27:28 <Halcyon> There is really no difference between the two channels, other than servers.
27:29 <ServalSpots> Anyone who is used to connecting through the web interface seems likely to be confused, but I suppose there's not a ton of them. Probably a half dozen or so
27:36 <ServalSpots> huh?
27:36 <Halcyon> Same "rules" apply, same ops still running it.
27:46 <ServalSpots> Uh...
27:54 <Halcyon> Well apart from Ampera
28:06 <Halcyon> He was added very early on, we needed a spread across time zones
28:14 <Halcyon> Had a few trolls trying to upset things
28:17 <ServalSpots> Like half the regular users of the afternet channel aren't even here
28:24 <coppice> Halcyon: One of the first projects I did after graduating was to create division, and square root
28:27 <Ampera> We're trying to fix that though, and get them over.
28:28 <ServalSpots> Hah, aye
28:39 <Halcyon> Indeed, but this place has only been up and running for about a week (publicly)
28:50 <ServalSpots> Any time Dave mentions the channel there's a huge influx of trolls
29:01 <Halcyon> It will be a gradual process, unfortunately, it's the only way.
29:06 <ServalSpots> huh?
29:10 <Halcyon> coppice: Oh gawd
29:41 <Halcyon> Are more of the regulars come over, I'd expect there would be a natural progression over to this server
29:41 <Ampera> I have experience with flood and spam management.
29:45 <ServalSpots> So wait, is your motivation to have people stop hanging out on afternet?
29:54 <Ampera> I've cleared out people like that before, and have a high patience with asshats
29:58 <Halcyon> Well "division" was raised by the other admins
30:12 <Ampera> No, the motivation is to keep AustNet alive, with a new official EEVBlog IRC channel
30:17 <Ampera> and to populate it with regulars from the other channel
30:29 <ServalSpots> Right, but why would they leave the other channel?
30:30 <Halcyon> Whether you guys choose to hang out in both is a matter for yourselves
31:00 <ServalSpots> The biggest gripe people have on the other channel is that so many folks want to use it to check stock on meters and µcurrents, and now that's bin solved
31:03 <ServalSpots> seems win-win?
31:21 <Halcyon> Sure, and I can see merit in that
31:24 <ServalSpots> Halcyon: You say that, and so that's what I assumed, but you talk like your intention is for that to not happen
31:33 <Halcyon> That's just my personal view
31:46 <Ampera> Actually, as far as randoms off the website are concerned, we've never really had people join in and be confused.
32:00 <Ampera> I think the worst that has happened is some people came in with questions and I was the only one there
32:17 <Halcyon> I wonder if we can link Dave's stock management system into IRC?
32:19 <Ampera> Once and only once I forwarded it into the other channel, but I've actually found I've been able to answer some questions I never know I was able to answer
32:21 <ThunderSqueak> hmm when I wanted a uCurrent, dave was out... so I made my own <.<
32:25 <Halcyon> So when he adds more stock, a message is broadcast
32:49 <Ampera> I'd be tempted to buy one of Dave's new multimeters, but I'll wait until I can A. afford it. B. need one
33:02 <Ampera> My multimeter is cheap, but does all I need, which is almost exclusively continuity testing
33:08 <ServalSpots> Ampera: Hopefully, anyway. If they came in they might not realize it's a different channel. They might just think all the people the know had left when in reality those people didn't go anywhere
33:36 <Ampera> We've had people come in and out, but mostly that's from the twitter announcement.
33:57 <ServalSpots> Though I imagine T3sl4 would recognize the nicks (and perhaps coppice for more recent ones)

36:49 <ThunderSqueak> when I needed a uCurrent for a project but dave had none in stock, I made this -> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DcUZl68VMAAYcs1.jpg
36:57 <ThunderSqueak> it does the job, and is a neat purple :>
37:28 <ServalSpots> Gold and purple is a rather nice color scheme
38:13 <Halcyon> Yeh it works well
38:55 <ServalSpots> ThunderSqueak: did you manage to find one of Dave's elusive resistors, or did you spec your own?
39:36 <ThunderSqueak> he has a special resistor? :P
39:44 <ThunderSqueak> I had no issue getting it
40:45 <Ampera> Halcyon, speaking of which, if you're looking for a 3D CAD program for Linux, for use with a 3D printer or something, I tried out OpenSCAD, and I quite like it.
41:41 <Halcyon> I'm not creative enough :P
41:45 <Ampera> lol
41:46 <Halcyon> I get other people to do 3D work for me
41:48 <Ampera> I made a bowl in it
41:57 <Halcyon> Seriously, I'm retarded. Can't even draw.
42:06 <Ampera> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/148449068903825408/517926337315471361/daac8b3bd87a7e66327c41ba43d4a890.png
42:24 <Halcyon> Are you using it as a food bowl ?
42:44 <Ampera> no, it's a clone of a model I made in Fusion 360
42:52 <Ampera> the one I made there is used by my bunny for drinking
43:12 <Halcyon> As long as it doesn't leech anything bad into the watere
43:14 <Halcyon> -e
43:34 <Ampera> it's PLA, made of corn
43:41 <Ampera> completely food safe
43:42 <Halcyon> So... no?
43:44 <Halcyon> :)
43:58 <Ampera> it's a polymer based on lactic acid
44:04 <Ampera> and my bunny is a mammal, so
44:14 <ServalSpots> ThunderSqueak: There were supply issues with the first gen because of the precision resistor he used
44:17 <Halcyon> Tasty Bunny
45:05 <Ampera> I will punch you, Halcyon
45:09 <Ampera> don't talk about my bunny like that :(
45:30 <coppice> why? doesn't your bunny taste good?
45:47 <Halcyon> Hey, at least bunnies are useful animals. Not like cats, can't eat a cat.
45:50 <ThunderSqueak> Ampera, my mom raises bunnies for pets
45:58 <Halcyon> Can't eat dogs either, but they are smart
45:59 <ThunderSqueak> they make great little friends
46:09 <Ampera> yeee, bunnies are so cute
46:18 <Ampera> I'd never even think of eating my bunny
46:37 <Halcyon> Maybe not YOUR bunny
46:39 <Halcyon> But A bunny?
47:11 <Ampera> I have eaten hare before, but I consider hares and rabbits different animals
47:19 <Ampera> one is a food animal, the other isn't
47:33 <Halcyon> I suppose, like beef vs. dairy cows
47:35 <coppice> yeah, rabbits are a food animals
48:16 <Ampera> hares are for food :P
48:16 <Halcyon> seaner: You around?
48:30 <Ampera> A hare could beat the shit out my rabbit if it wanted to
48:33 <Ampera> they can be like 3 times the damn size
48:49 <coppice> hares become food when you put them in a jug
48:50 <Ampera> even though I have a fairly beefy dutch bunny, it's nothing like a hare
48:56 <Halcyon> I saw a big fuck-off Kangaroo the other day
49:46 <Ampera> was it eating your dingo?
49:50 <coppice> Kangaroos are delicious too
49:55 <Halcyon> No it was just laying in the shade
50:12 <Halcyon> Yes, Kangaroo meat is among my favourite, really tasty without being too "gamey" and really good for you.
50:30 <Ampera> too busy to wrestle it?
50:38 <Halcyon> No, he was bigger than me
50:53 <Halcyon> I reckon about 2 metres tall
51:04 <Ampera> that doesn't matter, I thought Australians were trained from birth to kill a kangaroo with nothing but their bare hands
51:15 <Halcyon> Pfft
51:27 <Halcyon> Maybe people who live on a farm?
51:52 <Ampera> I thought Australia was just one big farm...
52:08 <Halcyon> :P
52:11 <coppice> I thought it was one big desert
52:21 <Halcyon> Some parts are moist coppice
52:22 <Ampera> I thought it was one big dessert.
52:27 <Halcyon> Other parts are snowy
54:51 <gremlinz> we dont use our bare hands we use a 12 guage
55:04 <Ampera> 12 guage is for pussies
55:16 <gremlinz> this is australia
55:22 <Ampera> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYlDgwo52tI
55:25 <Ampera> THIS, is a real gun
55:26 <gremlinz> we not allowed to have big guns
55:43 <Ampera> Shame.
55:55 <Halcyon> :P
55:56 <gremlinz> then again we don't shoot each other in the face every 3 seconds
56:06 <Ampera> do you want to know what's great about the US?
56:10 <Ampera> not only can we have big guns
56:14 <Ampera> we can use kids as target practice
56:18 <gremlinz> haha
56:22 <Halcyon> Oh wow
56:40 <Halcyon> I think damian is in a food coma
56:48 <Ampera> weakling
57:01 <Ampera> I ate an entire proper thanksgiving dinner and barely slipped into one
57:11 <Ampera> probably 2000+ calories whole plate
57:24 <Halcyon> That's because you're a garbage guts
57:28 <Ampera> most I ever ate on one plate in my life
57:37 <Ampera> my guts are real german engineering
57:47 <Halcyon> Except you're on a Retardistani diet
57:58 <Halcyon> Fats and high fructose corn syrup
58:04 <Ampera> which means the spiciest, junkiest bullshit
58:12 <Ampera> and I'm still not clogged up, nor fat
58:22 <Halcyon> Your poops much be huge
58:27 <Ampera> HAPPY DECEMBER!
58:29 <Halcyon> *must
58:39 <Halcyon> Oh shit it is too
58:40 <Ampera> time to break out the chocolate advent calendars
58:50 <Halcyon> It's 1600 01/12 here
59:10 <Ampera> 01/12?
59:11 <Halcyon> I need to pay my council rates
59:18 <Ampera> I thought you guys didn't use retarded dates
59:20 <Halcyon> Yes DDMMYY like a normal person
59:27 <Halcyon> Not this backwards MMDDYY shit
59:30 <Ampera> lol
59:37 <Ampera> my brain just had an annurism
59:43 <Halcyon> Logic too hard for you?
59:43 <Ampera> I thought you used MM/DD
59:54 <Ampera> what the fuck are these numbers
59:57 <Ampera> how the fuck do I read them
00:00 <Ampera> imma reeeeee
00:13 <Halcyon> Either big endian or little endian. Not retarded endian
00:24 <Halcyon> I prefer YYYYMMDD personally
00:25 <Ampera> mixed-endian
00:41 <Ampera> I prefer DM/YM/YD
01:11 <Ampera> so today would be 02/12/81
01:31 <Halcyon> The 80's were a good decade
01:33 <Ampera> do y'all do chocolate advent calendars in the land down under?
02:04 <Halcyon> Yeh but the chocolate is usually crap
02:10 <Ampera> how crap?
02:15 <Halcyon> We also have wine and beer advent calendars
02:22 <Ampera> I always get mine from Aldi
02:27 <Halcyon> You know, generic, no-name bullshit chocolate
02:30 <Ampera> german milk chocolate
02:38 <Halcyon> I don't mind Aldi chocolate
02:46 <Ampera> this is Choceur brand, says UTZ certified
03:23 <Halcyon> Gah another $450 gone
03:29 <Halcyon> Stupid bills
03:29 <Ampera> ah, that's not Utz the food company
03:31 <Ampera> that's something else
03:49 <Ampera> and that's strange, I thought Utz was a European company
03:51 <Ampera> shows what I know
03:55 <Halcyon> *shrug*
03:57 <Halcyon> Never heard of it
04:01 <Halcyon> I like Cadbury chocolate
04:10 <Halcyon> Or Lindt
04:35 <Ampera> Chocuer is the Aldi brand
04:59 * Ampera loves Albrecht Diskont
05:57 <Ampera> I could go to Aldi and no other store and be perfectly happy
06:09 <Ampera> (for food)
06:53 <Halcyon> Yeh Aldi do nice things
07:06 <Ampera> We actually have both Aldi north and south in the US
07:15 <Ampera> with Aldi north owning Trader Joe's
07:17 <Halcyon> We only have the most popular one
07:23 <Halcyon> Sud ?
07:28 <Halcyon> Or is it Nord, I forget
07:37 <Ampera> The yellow/blue one is Aldi South
07:43 <Halcyon> Yeh that one
07:45 <Ampera> which is in Australia exclusively
08:12 <Ampera> but we have Aldi South, which is just branded as Aldi, and Aldi North, who owns Trader Joe's
08:34 <Ampera> and afaik, the US is the only nation besides Germany with both companies
11:01 <Ampera> George H.W. Bush died.
13:17 <Halcyon> Is he different to the other guy?
13:28 <Ampera> what other guy
14:46 <Halcyon> The other George Bush
14:49 <Halcyon> The idiot one
15:35 <ServalSpots> You're going to have to be more specific
15:39 <Ampera> lol
16:12 <Ampera> George W. Bush is his son
16:17 <Halcyon> Ahh right
16:34 <Ampera> 43rd president of the US, after Clinton, who was after H.W.
38:16 <ThunderSqueak> that aftershock just knocked me off my feet
40:39 * Halcyon picks up ThunderSqueak off the floor

51:00 <Halcyon> Yeh something in that direction
51:02 <Halcyon> Early 30's
52:22 <ThunderSqueak> you know the weirdest thing you don't think about during a major earthquake ?
52:32 <ThunderSqueak> it shakes all the water out of the toilet bowl o.o
52:39 <ThunderSqueak> that was such a mess -.-
52:45 <Halcyon> REALLY?
52:48 <ThunderSqueak> yeah
52:51 <Halcyon> Like *out* of the top ?
52:53 <ThunderSqueak> yes
53:06 <Halcyon> I would never in a 100 years imagined that was a thing
53:07 <ThunderSqueak> it sloshed so hard it shook the water out
53:13 <Halcyon> We don't really get earthquakes in AU
53:15 <ThunderSqueak> me either, but I had to clean it up
53:30 <Halcyon> I mean we do but they are usually so minor that they can't be felt
53:31 <ThunderSqueak> btw, toilet bowls hold a lot of water -.0
53:38 <T3sl4> at least it wasn't a 9.0-ish
53:47 <ThunderSqueak> T3sl4, no, only a 7
53:51 <Halcyon> Yes but you have those weird American toilets, aren't they almost full of water?
53:54 <von> evening
53:58 <Halcyon> Ours would hold maybe a litre?
54:04 Join: BurtyB ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
54:11 <T3sl4> definitely still something to buckle down in tho
54:14 <ThunderSqueak> Halcyon, nah, has like 1 to 1.5 liters
54:18 <steve30> It was 10 years since we had an earthquake. I didn't feel it. Not sure if we've had one since.
54:23 <Halcyon> OK, so probably the same as here
54:34 <Halcyon> Steve: Confirm your operator status dammit
54:40 <ThunderSqueak> thats still a lot of water when spread out over a bathroom floor
54:44 <Halcyon> Gees you're hopeless

55:13 <von> steve30 type `confirm steve30
55:16 * ThunderSqueak rolls around/

35:33 <ThunderSqueak> ok that is hilarious
39:50 Quit: steve30 ([email protected]) Quit: <Baljem> steve30: by the way, I had the most bizarre dream the other day that someone came in here and seriously flipped their shit over your quit message and why aren't the ops /doing/ something about it
44:07 <ThunderSqueak> not sure why, but I like the look of this type of gear https://www.ebay.com/itm/Yaesu-FT-901-DM-All-Mode-HF-Transceiver-Ham-Radio/283249581382?hash=item41f2fd9d46:g:548AAOSwgYdb44mr:rk:27:pf:0
44:14 <ThunderSqueak> just something about it
45:30 <T3sl4> it's got a dense proto-modern style, yeah
53:04 <ThunderSqueak> yeah, it just looks... functional
53:26 <ThunderSqueak> modern gear has so man features and options that you can get lost in it rather than just using the tool
53:39 <T3sl4> the same appeal of analog scopes, buttons everywhere just within reach
53:55 <ThunderSqueak> yeah, was just thinking that
54:02 <ThunderSqueak> it is one of the things I love about my old analog
59:39 <ThunderSqueak> quiet
59:40 <ThunderSqueak> ; ;
59:46 * T3sl4 buhs softly
13:22 * ThunderSqueak is now drunk

14:35 <ThunderSqueak> I wanted a drink
15:19 <damian> what kind of monster ARE you?!
16:08 <ThunderSqueak> the kind that just lived through an earthquake that litterally shattered homes today and destroyed the road near my home?
16:17 * T3sl4 steeps damian in whiskey
16:17 <ThunderSqueak> I have my home mostly built up
16:22 <ThunderSqueak> fixed up
16:24 <ThunderSqueak> whatever

55:48 <xDR1TeK> howdy
57:26 <ThunderSqueak> hi there
58:05 * ThunderSqueak hands xDR1TeK a fluke DMM and mimosa
58:18 <DrTiTus> does Dave from EEVBlog actually come here, or is this just for groupies that he doesn't know he has?
58:19 <xDR1TeK> lol
58:34 <xDR1TeK> it came on twitter
58:43 <xDR1TeK> i landed here right after it
59:15 <xDR1TeK> we should hit over 500 in few days
59:46 <xDR1TeK> great to see IRC is back in action
59:53 <T3sl4> he comes in for one hour every year, it's an astronomical alignments thing
00:15 * xDR1TeK like sex on a stick
00:23 <ThunderSqueak> we have to sacrifice a virgin DMM to summon him though
00:31 <ThunderSqueak> it is a terrible loss ; ;
00:32 <xDR1TeK> so be it
00:47 <xDR1TeK> SUMMON HIM!
01:04 <xDR1TeK> +/- some theatrical effects
01:10 <ThunderSqueak> but, we must first all hold different scientific calculators and perform the laplace transform
01:22 <xDR1TeK> ok see you all later
01:25 <ThunderSqueak> XD
01:25 <xDR1TeK> :D
01:37 <xDR1TeK> my laplace is broken
01:42 * T3sl4 ramps up his sparking
01:48 <ThunderSqueak> awww
01:53 <xDR1TeK> it farted some magic smoke and died
02:13 * ThunderSqueak sprinkles pixles all over xDR1TeK 
02:48 * ThunderSqueak begins the chant to summon the elder god aVe so he can inject angry pixies.... keep yer dick in a vice
03:17 <xDR1TeK> skookum choocher
03:24 <ThunderSqueak> xDR1TeK, do you feel the CHOOCH!
03:29 <xDR1TeK> i doooo

04:15 <xDR1TeK> i miss this stuff, doint IT in the frigging no man's land
04:23 <ThunderSqueak> you too?
04:27 * ThunderSqueak is in anchorage
04:29 <xDR1TeK> what is there else?
04:33 * ThunderSqueak did IT for 20 years
04:41 <xDR1TeK> how do you do it?
04:51 <ThunderSqueak> I quit and became an EE ?
04:53 <xDR1TeK> been in tech since 1996
05:03 <ThunderSqueak> *nod*
05:15 <ThunderSqueak> I was in the usaf in 1996
05:39 * ThunderSqueak is glad she became an EE, its fun
05:40 <xDR1TeK> i got my degree though last year, comp and comm eng
06:05 <xDR1TeK> anyhow
06:13 <xDR1TeK> eng is a lost art
06:18 <xDR1TeK> no one wants anymore
06:29 <xDR1TeK> all chinesium
06:41 <ThunderSqueak> it was funny, when I went back to school, the counceler was like "why dont you get a degree in computer engineering, you seem really good at it
06:52 <xDR1TeK> lol
06:58 <ThunderSqueak> and I was like "I already have my 10000 hours, ... thanks for playing"
06:59 <xDR1TeK> ask him, would you hire me?
07:18 <xDR1TeK> they want that piece of paper that says you can do it
07:23 <ThunderSqueak> more shakes
07:26 <ThunderSqueak> grr
07:40 <ThunderSqueak> I wish these aftershocks would stop -.-
07:46 <xDR1TeK> apart from that, you don't want to end up doing wrong physics, you know what i mean?
07:47 <ThunderSqueak> they keep knocking stuff off shelves
08:10 <ThunderSqueak> yeah
08:16 <ThunderSqueak> part of why I went back to school
08:35 <ThunderSqueak> I was doing something for my work and came across some math I had no clue how to do
08:42 <ThunderSqueak> ... so I went back to school
09:10 <xDR1TeK> and now the farce is strong but not much to do
09:36 <ThunderSqueak> anyway I am glad you know the elder god aVe too
09:42 <ThunderSqueak> one of us... one of us
09:44 <xDR1TeK> who doesn't
09:48 <ThunderSqueak> XD
10:10 <xDR1TeK> he blew my mind when he spoke french, i thought he was pulling a herring
10:24 <T3sl4> hes a true canucklehead
10:42 <xDR1TeK> not french myself, no sirrrr
10:50 <T3sl4> worse
10:53 <T3sl4> quebecoi
10:56 <xDR1TeK> lol
11:18 <ThunderSqueak> and... he doesnt have a magical trashcan
11:23 <ThunderSqueak> XD
11:38 <xDR1TeK> that term elludes me
11:45 <xDR1TeK> does it fly?
11:56 * ThunderSqueak wants to do a characature of dave springing out of a dumpster holding a scope like a troughy screaming "I have found it!"
12:18 <ThunderSqueak> refering to Dave's constant dumpster finds
12:33 <xDR1TeK> or? escaping the temple with a magic scope under his armpit
12:44 <xDR1TeK> from one of those indy jones movies
12:54 <ThunderSqueak> I wonder if he buys them on ebay but says he found them in the dumpster so his wife doesnt kill him?
13:00 <xDR1TeK> hahahaha
13:28 <xDR1TeK> no wonder, he put 2 of his joint projects with his wife in boxes
13:39 * xDR1TeK wink
13:50 <ThunderSqueak> he is still working on their AI
13:55 <xDR1TeK> :D:D
13:56 <T3sl4> as likely, they're "donations" from brand names and it's a tax dodge
14:23 <ThunderSqueak> surely that can only work so many times
14:29 <ThunderSqueak> not... every other week for years
14:49 <xDR1TeK> a household can hold only so much
14:57 <xDR1TeK> then you have to move out
16:38 <xDR1TeK> my bench power supply is giving me crap, 2 channel, left one says what voltage is set, the right one keeps rising on the display, tested the voltage output, it was stable
17:00 <xDR1TeK> haven't opened it
17:06 <xDR1TeK> i have emotional ties to it
17:17 <xDR1TeK> feel bad treating it like dirt
19:06 <ThunderSqueak> so gas stations ran out of gas today
19:22 <ThunderSqueak> at least the ones that were still open/operational
19:23 <xDR1TeK> is that even possible these days?
19:35 <ThunderSqueak> it was here
19:56 <ThunderSqueak> did you see the news?
19:59 <xDR1TeK> oh there was an earthquake
20:04 <xDR1TeK> i just flipped it on now

21:09 <ThunderSqueak> yes
21:22 <xDR1TeK> oh this planet is asking for the reset button
21:26 <ThunderSqueak> I got power back this after noon
21:52 <xDR1TeK> where did the ground go?
21:58 <xDR1TeK> i just can't believe it
21:59 <ThunderSqueak> it liquified
22:09 <xDR1TeK> but it is frozen
22:09 <ThunderSqueak> frozen ground... liquified
22:18 <ThunderSqueak> yes
22:38 <ThunderSqueak> I have about half my homes disaster cleaned up
22:43 <ThunderSqueak> the structure seems intact
22:51 <ThunderSqueak> but I lost some things
23:09 <ThunderSqueak> crushed by falling things
23:15 * Halcyon hugs ThunderSqueak 
23:39 <xDR1TeK> terribly sorry for you, it must have been a wild one
23:52 <ThunderSqueak> I rode it out on the 2nd floor of my house
24:05 <ThunderSqueak> the stairwell was blocked with debre
24:30 <Halcyon> Has this sort of thing happened before at your place ThunderSqueak ?
24:40 <ThunderSqueak> nope
24:44 <ThunderSqueak> never
24:51 <xDR1TeK> this is some earthquake, what level was it?
24:52 <Halcyon> It must be pretty daunting
24:58 <ThunderSqueak> 7+
25:12 <ThunderSqueak> depends who you ask
25:18 <ThunderSqueak> lets say 7.0
25:35 <ThunderSqueak> my lab is a disaster
