09:19:54 <Halcyon> Morning all
09:23:40 <rust_collector> hey Halcyon
09:23:46 <Halcyon> Howdy :)
09:24:24 <rust_collector> some guy in india is bugging me to try sdr things, so now I am looking into that
09:25:03 <rust_collector> I still do not really know why I would use that
09:25:43 <rust_collector> I guess it is like a 3d printer. I have no good use for that either, but I sort of would like to have one, lol
09:26:04 <Halcyon> Heheh
09:26:23 <Halcyon> SDR can be kind of cool but most people just use them like radio scanners; to listen to things
09:26:41 <Halcyon> But now so many services are digital/encrypted, most of the good stuff is gone
09:26:51 <rust_collector> that is what I would be interested in, I guess. I like listening to radio
09:27:23 <Halcyon> I used to do it all the time as a kid, I still have my original scanner, a Uniden Bearcat 3000XLT
09:27:31 <Halcyon> It did 25-1300 MHz
09:27:47 <Halcyon> I used to listen to mobile phones (when they were AMPS), cordless phones etc...
09:28:18 <rust_collector> after they shipped most of our fm transmitters to malawi, I can find the weirdest stations on even the crappy radio in my car. Last week, I got a station from ( I think) ukraine
09:29:34 <Halcyon> Anyway, time for a haircut, back soon
09:29:43 <rust_collector> ok, have enjoys
09:33:54 <damian> noooo
09:34:01 <damian> why you chop off those lovely golden locks for!
09:34:36 <rust_collector> someone has to
09:34:46 <rust_collector> my hair just fall out on its own
09:43:00 <Bluenote> I've been intending to use a little SBC I've got and a bunch of SDR kit to set up a system that monitors WX radio, auto-decodes SAME headers if EAS kicks off, and emails me.
09:43:46 <Bluenote> Really only need the one dongle for that, but I figure I'll set up a couple others to keep tabs on the interesting trunked traffic around.

11:57:05 <Halcyon> Back
11:57:15 <Halcyon> damian: I have to get mine cut every 2 weeks
11:57:20 <Halcyon> Otherwise it just looks shit
11:57:41 <Halcyon> Also, I bought a terranium for the bathroom :)

13:13:20 <Ampera> hi Halcyon
13:13:25 <Halcyon> Heya
13:13:39 <Ampera> you wanna know what's worse than a shot of nyquil?
13:13:50 <Halcyon> ?
13:14:04 <Ampera> having to take 3 smaller shots of nyquil because some asshole didn't rinse out the measuring cup for it
13:14:34 <Ampera> so I had to use a tablespoon to take it, which is worse than you'd think, since it's very hard to drink a tablespoon
13:14:56 <Ampera> so I basically have to suck it in, which aerates the nyquil making it taste even more bitter, and then had to do it 3 times because I spilled some of it trying to do that twice.
13:15:15 <Halcyon> Lovely
13:15:18 <Halcyon> Are you feeling better?
13:15:19 <Ampera> all because some asshole is too lazy to take 4 seconds to wash out a plastic cup
13:15:24 <Ampera> yeah, my voice is fucked though
13:15:28 <Halcyon> Naww :(
13:15:42 <Ampera> real hoarse, but also real deep
13:15:50 <Ampera> you've had colds before you know what I'm going on about
13:16:05 <Halcyon> Yup
13:16:09 <Halcyon> You're becoming a man :P
13:16:27 <Ampera> no I have a cold
13:16:33 <Ampera> my voice is already balls deep, I hate it
13:16:38 <Halcyon> You're becoming a woman?
13:16:39 <Halcyon> :P
13:16:46 <Halcyon> Hehe I know, I'm messing around
13:16:52 <Halcyon> My parents are coming over soon, argh
13:16:54 <Ampera> which is sad in a way since I always wished for a deeper voice so I didn't look like as much as a fuck in online voice chats
13:17:02 <Halcyon> Might have to crack out the wine early
13:17:59 <Ampera> I talked in the help channel about the bot auth stuff, and there's nothing simple that can really be done, the best suggestion was to make the bot answer the password requests by itself, which has the issue of needing to store a plaintext password within the source code, an awful practice.
13:18:15 <Ampera> There's no AoC, but apparently SASL is on the to-do list for who knows when
13:19:43 <Ampera> so my solution right now is to just fix the auth by hand whenever the IRC netsplits until some sort of AoC stuff is supported that doesn't forget it after netsplits or something
13:19:44 <Ampera> idk
13:27:18 <DHess_US> <Ampera> you wanna know what's worse than a shot of nyquil?
13:27:30 <Ampera> 3 shots of nyquil
13:28:00 <DHess_US> Worse is taking shots of Nyquil which don't have pseudoephedrine. There is no reason to buy Nyquil anymore.
13:28:59 <Ampera> I use NyQuil for nothing but the antihistamines which seem to work better then benadryl
13:29:57 <DHess_US> Take a couple of sudafed with the Nyquil to get the original.
13:30:06 <Ampera> but I'm not congested
13:30:15 <Ampera> and I've never known an anticongestion medication to work on me
13:31:39 <DHess_US> WEll, what is in the current Nyqil doesn't work on anybody.
13:32:04 <DHess_US> Used to be able to get my pharmasist to order Nyquil-D but no more.
13:32:23 <Ampera> antihistamines work great on me
13:32:36 <Ampera> everything else might as well be labled as an inactive ingredient
13:41:07 <Halcyon> Our labelling here is either it has an "AUST L" or "AUST R". L is used on "medicines" which are all natural ingredients and basically do nothing. R is for actual science.
13:42:15 <Ampera> that's not relavent to the conversation but ok
13:42:27 <Halcyon> The only exception to that are vitamins (in certain cases they can be useful) and sun cream which are both labelled AUST L (for "low risk" ingredients)
13:42:33 <Halcyon> Just saying
13:48:00 <DHess_US> The US DEA (drug enforcement agency) is big on destroying people's livers with acetominophen (Tylenol) so they require it to be in almost all over the counter medicines to punish those who take more than one at a time.
13:49:35 <DHess_US> I conducted my own test. I bought all four OTC pain relievers for headaches and muscle aches. Acetominophen did nothing for me which is common because some people lack the chemical pathway to usilize it. The only thing it does for me is damage my liver.
13:51:28 <Halcyon> Aspirin is far better for you
13:51:44 <Halcyon> Usually has a similar result in terms of pain
13:57:09 <DHess_US> Oh, aspirin works well for me. Sodium naproxin works even better.
13:57:29 <DHess_US> Best was ketoprofen but it was removed from the US market and is no longer available.
13:57:51 <DHess_US> Ibuprofen is blah. It works but no better than aspirin.
14:15:54 <Halcyon> I usually don't take medicines for anything unless it's severe
14:16:12 <Halcyon> I can probably count on two hands the amount of times I've taken something for a cold or headache in my life.

22:43:00 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: The new UEI DM505 meter looks easy to hack into the DM515, just remove R72? https://t.co/Uo7k8ZExpl
22:43:41 <jackbrown> Question, let's say that I have an 48V 2A-MAX input, and I'd like to adjust the output from 12V till 48V, which device I should use ?
22:54:33 <T3sl4> what kind of input is 2A-MAX?
22:55:02 <coppice> I don't think MAX is around at the moment. Can anyone else help you?
22:56:05 <T3sl4> no SAM either then, i'd suppose
