00:32:35 <jackbrown> This fan came in 3 voltage version is that correct ? http://gdstime.com/product/?99_544.html
00:37:48 <DHess_US> Yes, that's right.
00:39:34 <DHess_US> For your earlier question, get a buck regulator. But you might want one with input current limiting.
00:42:52 <jackbrown> DHess_US: so if I would like to adjust any one of these 3 version I should stay within the voltage range (for ex the 12V version I should stay within 4V and 12V supplying enough amperes of course)
01:14:39 <DHess_US> jackbrown, yes. You can go a little above the rated voltage also for higher speed.

10:29:05 <Halcyon> Morning all
10:31:34 <rust_collector> hola
10:32:14 <Ampera> HI Halcyon
10:32:19 <Ampera> I am C++ing
10:32:23 <Halcyon> Oh yeh?
10:32:36 <Ampera> I decided that modern data structures are actually a good thing.
10:32:40 <rust_collector> go bjarne!
10:32:52 <Ampera> and that I'm sick of trying to do C style strings.
10:36:42 <rust_collector> WHAT SORT OF THINGS ARE YOU DOING WITH IT?
10:36:45 <rust_collector> OOPS
10:36:49 <rust_collector> arrgh
10:37:03 <Ampera> speaking of oops my tablet's kernel oops/panicked today
10:37:30 <Ampera> Well I've always wanted to make my own textmode text editor, among the lines of emacs, vi, nano
10:37:55 <Ampera> never used emacs, I can't just pick up and use vi, and nano is what I ususally use, but I wish it had some more functionality and was layed out differently
10:37:59 <Ampera> and had things like cursor support
10:38:47 <Ampera> So I started the project in C, and dedcided the best thing to do would to design a proper text buffer to store that stuff in, but after figiuring out that realloc doesn't keep the original contents of the memory and the additional plethora of absolute bullshit that C put me through, I decided maybe there was something do this whole modern language business.
10:38:51 <rust_collector> sounds like a cool project
10:39:24 <Ampera> I have no experience in C++, but I'm basically just going to pick it up and use it, learn as I go. It's largely based off C, so I know most of that already, and I know most of the OOP elements from Java
10:40:25 <rust_collector> Not that I know anything about these things, but I think it sounds like you are right
10:42:59 <Halcyon> I'm making bacon and eggs :)
10:43:12 <rust_collector> I am heating tea water
10:43:21 <Halcyon> Mmmm tea water
10:43:41 <Ampera> I learn about this stuff better every day.
10:43:49 <Ampera> All I know is that I know nothing.
10:46:36 <rust_collector> My biggest problem with learning to program, in any language, is that I do not have any ideas of things to do with it. so I know how to make a few languages type out "hello world"
10:47:29 <rust_collector> but that is ok. other people do that. I like making physical things anyway
10:47:46 <Ampera> Oh I have too many projects for my own good.
10:48:03 <Ampera> Game engine, media center, text editor, 8086 stepping emulator
10:48:26 <Ampera> I just often burn out when trying to make them into reality.
10:50:22 <rust_collector> I am chatting with a guy that is pretty into C stuff. he just does things, lol. he did make a window manager, and a simple hex editor, and some other random stuff. I actually like the hex editor and wm he did, but... I would not have any idea of where to start on such things.
10:52:46 <Ampera> If I actually knew what I was doing I would put my time into helping out windowmaker, they are probably the big thing on Linux that I really really like, but there's stuff I wish it had.
10:56:12 <rust_collector> If I had to choose one project I would support in some way, I think I would help the dillo browser
10:56:41 * Halcyon sips coffee
10:56:41 <rust_collector> and I do, by.... staying away
10:56:58 * rust_collector sluuuuuurps tea
10:57:05 <Ampera> I'd also be interested in taking up coding for XFE. There's so many really really nice, but somewhat old Linux tools that really need some love.
10:57:38 <rust_collector> right
10:58:21 <Ampera> why do I always find myself running out of places to put text
10:58:29 <rust_collector> if they are old enough to talk about gimp toolkit, I am ok with it
10:59:14 <Ampera> XFE is 2002 and windowmaker (technically) is 1996
10:59:24 <Ampera> but you can trace its inspiration to NeXTSTEP
11:00:27 <rust_collector> I also have a thing for fltk things. not always pretty, but at least quick
11:02:06 <rust_collector> https://github.com/dcat/she
11:02:18 <rust_collector> that is the guys hex editor.
11:02:49 <Ampera> Looks nice.
11:03:00 <Ampera> I might introduce a feature to view files by hex in ATE.
11:03:02 <rust_collector> and it even seems to work
11:03:13 <rust_collector> cool
11:05:54 <rust_collector> meh, put it way down your list
11:07:50 <Ampera> right now I am messing around with colours

11:11:52 <Halcyon> Gah I need to get up on the roof again today and finish cleaning the gutters
11:12:08 <Halcyon> They are so blocked up that my water tank is now completely empty
11:13:07 <rust_collector> you are welcome to get up on my roof to do the same there.
11:13:15 <Halcyon> Hehe
11:13:24 <rust_collector> I will make dinner if you do, lol
11:13:28 <Halcyon> I only got about 1/3rd done last weekend
11:13:32 <Halcyon> Hmmm, tempting... with wine?
11:13:40 <rust_collector> eeeh, ok
11:13:44 <Halcyon> Hahaha
11:14:06 <Halcyon> But I feel you live far away from me
11:14:12 <rust_collector> a little bit
11:15:16 <Halcyon> I bought gutter mesh to prevent it from happening again
11:15:24 <Halcyon> It's just slow to install
11:15:38 <rust_collector> when I was in school, they said australiastan was on the other side of the planet. I think they were wrong, but not too far off
11:15:55 <Halcyon> Yeh it's pretty true
11:16:01 <Halcyon> Either side of us is mostly water
11:16:05 <Halcyon> (And New Zealand)
11:16:24 <rust_collector> but NZ does not count, does it?
11:16:52 <Halcyon> Well, they often get left off maps :P
11:17:20 <Halcyon> https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/retail/can-you-spot-whats-wrong-with-this-ikea-map/news-story/80fede6c958041fb8f99be7fc00ccb38
11:17:30 <rust_collector> hmm, they are the opposite of belgium then... ok
11:19:37 <rust_collector> the map does look much cleaner like that
11:20:29 <Halcyon> Heheh
11:23:01 <Ampera> I have colour!
11:23:34 <Halcyon> YAY!
11:23:37 <Halcyon> I have to poop
11:24:01 <rust_collector> I have no comment right now
11:24:07 <Halcyon> I also like that you spell colour the correct way :)
11:26:53 <rust_collector> I want to take the train across russia.
11:27:13 <rust_collector> looking at the map, it is almost a bit weird
11:28:31 <Ampera> While I like trains, taking the transmongolian railway seems a bit long.
11:28:58 <Ampera> If I was given the chance to do it, I'd take it no question, it's something really cool, but I'd need a bit of advanced warning for that, and a little bit of stuff to do on the trip
11:29:41 <rust_collector> and a sleeper cabin, or... room
11:29:58 <rust_collector> uhm, can not remember the train name for room
11:29:58 <Ampera> oh of course, if I have to spend that time in a seat, then fuck that shit
11:30:29 <Ampera> I'd like to take a trip in an Amtrak sleeper one of these days. They're expensive, but also really neat, and make me think of minihomes.
11:32:28 <rust_collector> I hear amtraks sleeper service is very different on different lines. I dunno, but maybe you should look at that first?
11:33:03 <rust_collector> but, any trip is better than one more week on my ass at home
11:33:43 <Ampera> I hear that, I'm on the verge of just getting up, walking out the door, picking a direction, and moving forward.
11:35:39 <rust_collector> I used to ask the booking people at the airport, if they had anything very cheap, to random location. you could get awesome deals there, if you had your passport and bag ready
11:36:10 <rust_collector> I never did, but they did seem to enjoy looking up that stuff
11:36:29 <Ampera> bit young for that and walking down the street is one thing, worse case I can call someone to pick me up
11:36:50 <Ampera> calling someone to pick me up because I've accidentally got on a flight to the Fiji islands is a bit of another matter.
11:37:32 <rust_collector> eeh, well, I think you would enjoy some time on fiji
11:40:42 <Halcyon> You need to come visit me in AU first :)
11:48:42 <rust_collector> One time, I got a great deal. IIrc, it was around $50 or so, to some obscure place in china. I did look that place up when I got home, and it is literally a little airport in the middle of nowhere. flat desert as far as you could see in all directions, lol. Aah, some times it is good to not have a passport and bag
11:52:33 <Ampera> Just because you can get somewhere easily doesn't mean you should go there.
11:53:27 <rust_collector> no, I guess having half an idea of how to get away from there is good
11:54:18 <rust_collector> I do wonder why there is a little airport out there....
12:11:00 <rust_collector> but... ok... good night
