11:26:02 <Tony54> How about something that says who is online, how many in chat, and why not several areas like in the forum ? Beginners and expert areas should be separate.

18:33:33 <hsn> how to extract the code of (filter) ? https://octave.sourceforge.io/octave/function/filter.html
18:33:45 <Halcyon> Evening everyone, Ampera
18:33:53 <Ampera> good morning Halcyon
18:33:53 <T3sl4> lo
18:34:04 <Ampera> how do
18:34:09 <steve30> hi
18:34:09 <Halcyon> T3sl4, my favourite channel straight guy :P
18:34:19 <Halcyon> And Steve, the sexy gay
18:34:19 <T3sl4> damn straight!
18:34:30 <hsn> i know its in pkg signal https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/signal/ci/default/tree/inst/
18:34:38 <T3sl4> (and, slightly furry?)
18:34:39 <hsn> but cant see where the m file of it
18:34:49 * T3sl4 scritches Halcyon
18:34:51 <Halcyon> I made my own mapley bacon and used it in a stir fry, turned out nummy
18:34:55 <T3sl4> ooh
18:34:58 <Halcyon> Who's furry?
18:34:58 <Ampera> oh god furries
18:35:02 <Ampera> they're even worse than the gays
18:35:05 <K> bhh
18:35:18 <Halcyon> And there's K, lurking in the shadows
18:35:27 <K> do not forget about the bronies
18:35:36 <Halcyon> I reckon Steve is into the kink and cosplay, even though he appears innocent :P
18:35:39 <T3sl4> see, i've thought of that, but does bacon really stir-fry? i'd think you'd have to pre-brown it, then let it simmer with everything else
18:35:39 <Halcyon> It's always the quiet ones
18:36:12 * steve30 meows innocently
18:36:15 <Halcyon> Yeh I threw it under the grill and brushed maple syrup on, just enough to it goes golden but not crispy
18:36:38 <Halcyon> Then throw it in the wok with some vege, cooked rice, scrambled egg, chilli and a bit of soy sauce or tamari
18:36:40 <T3sl4> else, you'd have to simmer it for 2hr+ to get it to not be a disgusting wet flop.....well, it will still be, but not a stringy chewy flop as well
18:36:54 <T3sl4> http://mirror.us-midwest-1.nexcess.net/gnu/octave/octave-5.1.0.tar.lz
18:37:02 <T3sl4> yeah, so fried and glazed with the maple, i get it
18:37:11 <T3sl4> octave doesn't use m-files for internals, you'd have to find the function in the source ^
18:37:18 <Halcyon> Grilled, not fried
18:37:25 <Halcyon> I think you guys call it "broiling" ?
18:37:27 <T3sl4> fried by direct heat, so what :P
18:37:52 <T3sl4> but that's just a trivial DSP function by the looks of it, that's not hard to write yourself
18:43:22 <steve30> i should go swimming
18:43:28 <Halcyon> Hawt :)
18:44:24 <steve30> I'd rather snuggle up in a blanket though
18:45:16 <hsn> C:\Octave\Octave-4.2.1\share\octave\packages\signal-1.3.2 << i have a lot of m files here
18:45:20 <Halcyon> Nawww
18:47:24 <K> dont be such a wet blanket!
18:48:21 * T3sl4 's Trinitron skulks around the blanket, jumps onto it and occupies it thoroughly
18:49:41 <K> the only way to get tan eh
18:49:56 <steve30> looks warm and cosy :)
18:50:41 <T3sl4> K: or you take sineh divided by coseh
18:54:43 <steve30> I think i might go back to bed
18:54:53 <Halcyon> You love that bed Steve
18:54:56 <Ampera> steve30, I'm with you
18:55:05 <Ampera> not in your bed, but I'm about to go to bed
18:55:19 <Halcyon> Heh that would be an interesting sight
18:55:20 <T3sl4> because same bed, that would be gay
18:55:58 <Ampera> I don't even know if it's gay anymore or how to quantify that.
18:56:41 <Halcyon> I think Steve would destroy you Ampera :P
18:56:47 <Ampera> but going in steve30's bed would require me to enter the UK, a country to which I have, at the moment, a personal travel ban on.
18:57:10 <Ampera> Halcyon, wouldn't that be the point?
18:57:26 <Halcyon> *shrug* I guess?
18:57:55 <Ampera> Halcyon, top or bottom?
18:58:02 <Halcyon> Who me?
18:58:12 <Ampera> No the wall
18:58:17 <Halcyon> Mostly top
18:58:30 <Ampera> ah so you're (technically) dom, which means you don't understand
18:58:37 <Halcyon> Probably 75/25
18:58:46 <Halcyon> Don't understand what?
18:58:53 <Ampera> lol
18:59:56 <T3sl4> it's funny because i know a guy named dom(inic)
19:00:04 <Ampera> Halcyon, the logic behind 1 + 1 = 3 & 1.5
19:00:19 <Halcyon> I'm still not following?
19:00:31 <Halcyon> T3sl4, is he aggressive? ;-)
19:00:44 <T3sl4> not really
19:01:03 <Halcyon> I guess Dom's can be bottoms too
19:01:10 <Ampera> Halcyon, taking your matters into someone else's hands, putting yourself at the mercy of the lord
19:01:13 <Halcyon> Ever heard of a power bottom?
19:01:23 <Ampera> Halcyon, that's gay
19:01:25 <Halcyon> The lord doesn't exist
19:01:31 <Halcyon> Yeh it's pretty gay
19:01:33 <Ampera> Halcyon, you are the lord, since you are on top
19:01:46 <Ampera> that's how this shit work
19:02:08 <T3sl4> as for friends of mine that are /actually/ gay, i know a cute tall black guy who's a bottom /and he wants you to know it/
19:02:20 <Ampera> T3sl4, I hate gay people that want you to know it
19:02:27 <Halcyon> Is he a little bitch T3sl4 ?
19:02:38 <Ampera> I joke about gay shit all the time, but that actually annoys me.
19:02:41 <T3sl4> not in general
19:02:44 <T3sl4> in the bed, no idea
19:02:49 <Halcyon> Me too Ampera, it's like Feminists who want the world to know they are wrong.
19:02:55 <T3sl4> doesn't strike me as the bratty type though
19:03:01 Join: DogWomble ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
19:03:03 <Ampera> Halcyon, that's a brilliant analogy.
19:03:09 <Halcyon> It's fucking true though
19:03:09 <Ampera> HI DogWomble, we're talking about homosexuality.
19:03:21 <DogWomble> hey amp :D
19:03:23 <DogWomble> we are?
19:03:25 <T3sl4> i don't mean he's pushy about his sexuality, just that when the topic comes up, he's quite forthcoming :P
19:03:26 <Ampera> yes.
19:03:39 <Halcyon> I think we've determined that Ampera might be a power bottom? Or that Steve would absolutely destroy anyone. Either way.
19:03:42 <T3sl4> DogWomble, specifically Ampera's
19:03:48 <T3sl4> not really, j/k :P
19:03:49 <Ampera> T3sl4, that's alright I guess, I don't know him, and I will go off like a fucking grenade when the topic comes up
19:03:57 <Ampera> Halcyon, fuck power bottoms
19:03:59 <Ampera> they can get fucked
19:04:03 <T3sl4> yes.
19:04:05 <Halcyon> I think that's the point :P
19:04:25 <Ampera> it's not a connection if you don't feel like he might kill you at any point
19:04:36 <Ampera> anything less is just sad
19:05:00 <Halcyon> I suppose?
19:05:14 <Halcyon> Steve might choke you?
19:05:18 <Halcyon> Does that count
19:05:35 <Ampera> My sexuality is something so incredibly complicated and hilariously confusing that it requires multiple incredibly intelligent people, some with experience on the subject, in order to attempt to come to a working mental model of it.
19:05:41 <Ampera> Halcyon, choking is stupid
19:05:45 <DogWomble> sexual asphyxiation?
19:05:56 <Halcyon> DogWomble, yup
19:06:39 <Ampera> It's not really fun if there isn't around 50 pounds of high strength steel involved.
19:06:57 <DogWomble> and a huge kickass magnet?
19:07:02 <Ampera> DogWomble, no
19:07:36 <Halcyon> A cage?
19:07:46 <Ampera> Halcyon, also no
19:08:00 <Ampera> lol I'm gonna lead you guys on forever
19:08:17 <DogWomble> Halcyon, stick that on the back of a ute and you have yourself a mardi gras float
19:08:46 <Ampera> what the fuck is mardi gras anyways, it just seems like a huge pride parade but alienating some culture or something
19:09:02 <Ampera> pride parades being some of the stupidest events in existence
19:09:13 <DogWomble> it is basically a huge pride parade now, though i don't know what it's like now, i haven't been in over 15 yeears
19:09:24 <Ampera> oh god
19:10:01 <Ampera> look I'm particularly fond of avante garde, but there's a certain level of don't push it in people's faces if you expect them to like and respect you
19:10:09 <Halcyon> Ampera: It's basically a huge street parade followed by lots of alcohol, drugs, sex and STDs
19:10:11 <Ampera> and I think pride parades, always context depending, push that line more than I'd like.
19:10:17 <Ampera> Halcyon, so a pride parade
19:10:31 <Ampera> Basically woodstock, but gayer and it's not a concert
19:11:43 <Ampera> I just wish people could just live their lives without letting things like sexual preferences define their existence, and that shit's been pushed onto me to the point where I am very much sore about it.
19:11:43 <Halcyon> Basically
19:12:09 <Halcyon> I tend to agree Ampera
19:12:15 <Halcyon> Who gives a shit who fucks who
19:12:36 <Ampera> the issue is that's what the LGBT are now, they aren't a rights group, they are a cultist identity, that happens to abduct the concept into itself.
19:12:48 <DogWomble> i kinda lost interest in it, it's great if you fit the look-good-in-just-your-underwear lets-get-shitface party crowd, but if you're not into that it's easy to get over it
19:12:51 <Ampera> to the point where all L G Bs and Ts are LGBT, without exception.
19:13:33 <Ampera> DogWomble, and while I have no issue with that crowd, I'm the sort of person who just doesn't want it to be all on the streets. and then doused with some extra political bullshit
19:14:07 <Ampera> I don't like exhibitionists, and it seems like half the civilized world is turning into them
19:15:15 <hsn> i can see : = octave-5.1.0\scripts\signal\filter2.m
19:15:22 <hsn> which has the function filter2
19:17:57 <Ampera> I've been listening to ELO basically nonstop since January
19:18:10 <Ampera> I think I have a problem
19:18:58 <Halcyon> Meh
19:19:41 <Ampera> anyways I sleep now, night

23:10:05 <Ampera> WebChatUser, a forum ban?
23:10:31 <WebChatUser> yes
23:10:52 <WebChatUser> without receiving any user-warning
23:11:12 <WebChatUser> I don't know why/who/what/etc
23:11:22 <Ampera> WebChatUser, unfortunately Dave is not here, he doesn't hang out on IRC much. As for a forum ban, the moderators would have very much had a reason, and if a polite email to Dave does not heed results, then it's likely they do not wish to discuss it with you.
23:11:53 <Ampera> Regardless of what you did, I'm afraid nobody here can help you with that.
23:12:29 <WebChatUser> I also need a copy of my personal messages
23:12:49 <WebChatUser> there are interesting things there, and useful for my projects
23:12:54 <WebChatUser> all lost due to the ban
23:13:27 <Ampera> WebChatUser, it's very likely you will not get those back, as there is no reason for them to provide you with them.
23:13:37 <Ampera> Who were you on the forums anyways

23:14:28 <Ampera> and while I am talking to you about legal matter, I am not a lawyer, and in no legal capacities am I representing Dave, his associates, or the EEVBlog in any way.
23:14:33 <WebChatUser> http://www.downthebunker.xyz/chunk_of/stuff/public/pic/eevblog-ban-msg.gif
23:15:06 <WebChatUser> so, basically forget your PM =(
23:15:16 <Ampera> Yeah that's probably why you got banned.
23:15:36 <WebChatUser> but I wrote the truth
23:15:41 <WebChatUser> that guy was trolling, anyway
23:15:50 <Ampera> WebChatUser, and black people eat fried chicken because most people like fried chicken
23:15:58 <Ampera> that doesn't mean people like it when you point it out
23:16:24 <WebChatUser> doesn't make sense
23:16:36 <Ampera> I do not know the forum mods to ban people for something as small as that, but I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't the only thing you did, they usually ban repeat offenders.
23:16:41 <WebChatUser> my points were about the 40% of ips come from China
23:16:43 <WebChatUser> it's a fact!
23:17:03 <Ampera> I think that wasn't the issue, I think the Tell your Chinese mates, part which was the issue.
23:17:03 <WebChatUser> 40% of cyberattacks comes from there, it's logged by the firewall
23:17:15 <Lartza> To your personal server?
23:17:19 <WebChatUser> yes
23:17:26 <WebChatUser> everyday
23:17:30 <Lartza> Not in my experience but :/
23:17:44 <WebChatUser> it's terrible if you are trying to create a server
23:17:46 <Lartza> I don't really log them apart from wordpress, and there the majority comes from elsewhere
23:18:43 <WebChatUser> we have created this defensive system
23:18:44 <WebChatUser> http://www.downthebunker.com/reloaded/space/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=277&sid=14a2c77db4109a7c2c9983d1a416c71c
23:18:54 <WebChatUser> it logs everything
23:19:02 <WebChatUser> it's a sort of "fail to ban"
23:19:10 <Ampera> What subform was that from, WebChatUser
23:19:39 <WebChatUser> my pic? it comes from EEVblog's marketplace
23:19:46 <WebChatUser> wtb a scsi box
23:19:52 <WebChatUser> or something like it
23:20:08 <WebChatUser> it's in black/white because I cannot access the forum
23:20:15 <WebChatUser> with Chrome
23:20:32 <WebChatUser> Chrome only shows a message that says "you are banned"
23:20:36 <Ampera> Yeah I see
23:20:39 <WebChatUser> cleaning cookies doesn't help
23:20:43 <WebChatUser> so I am using Dillo
23:20:52 <WebChatUser> (dillo is a primitive browser)
23:20:53 <Ampera> WebChatUser, likely an IP ban
23:21:02 <WebChatUser> dunno
23:21:09 <Lartza> US is 33,3% of blockced traffic in my wordpress, CN is 22,7
23:21:11 <WebChatUser> but Dillo works behind a proxy
23:21:13 <Lartza> Filthy americans
23:21:22 <Lartza> ;)
23:21:34 <Ampera> Lartza, I ain't even gonna disagree with you
23:21:35 <WebChatUser> it's in black/white because colors are not rendered on that remote machine
23:21:41 <Ampera> I'm an American and I'm the greasiest fucking cunt in here
23:21:59 <Lartza> ;P
23:22:41 <Lartza> And no, there is zero reason for americans to try to login to my wordpress legitimately
23:22:49 <Lartza> It's in finnish...
23:22:50 <WebChatUser> LOL :D
23:22:59 Join: hsn993 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
23:23:02 <Ampera> Lartza, like nobody in the US can understand Finnish
23:23:31 <Lartza> I get more login page hits than site browses from the US :/
23:23:44 <Ampera> WebChatUser, not sure what to say you, I on rare occasion PM Simon on the forum to look into those matters, but if it's a ban, most of them are usually for good reason and final. If Dave never replies to your email, then there's not much else you can really do.
23:23:48 <WebChatUser> maybe they are bots
23:23:55 <Ampera> oh man SMF bots are insane
23:23:55 <Lartza> Anyway, I am not sure what the statistics for vulnerability scan or SSH hacks are, those might be majority china
23:24:22 <Ampera> they've mostly left my forum alone now, since I ban them incredibly fast, usually before they can even post anything
23:24:29 <WebChatUser> Simon doesn't look to be a clever person
23:24:39 <WebChatUser> anyway, let's wait a couple of days
23:24:40 <Lartza> Ampera, Register passing email verification and recaptcha with a russian e-mail address, then fail a login instantly afterwards insane?
23:25:18 <Lartza> I have zero clue what the point in those "attacks" was
23:25:19 <Ampera> Simon is actually a very good moderator and a nice guy. I don't know him too well, but he's never gone out of line.
23:25:34 <WebChatUser> I don't agree with you
23:25:37 <Ampera> If you want to stick around here WebChatUser, we tend to have a high tolerance for most anything.
23:25:46 <Ampera> WebChatUser, well you're banned and I'm not so there might be some bias there.
23:25:56 <Ampera> Lartza, to sell you penile enlargement CBD
23:26:04 <WebChatUser> Simon dropped a topic where I was asking hints about "how to protect a website from bots"
23:26:05 Quit: hsn93 ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
23:26:19 <WebChatUser> and he dropped it with "next time I will ban you"
23:26:24 <WebChatUser> bad way to handle person
23:26:32 <WebChatUser> so no, he is not clever at all
23:26:33 <Lartza> So it was a repeat offense
23:26:44 <Ampera> ^
23:26:47 <Lartza> Makes more sense to ban you for the message you got banned for
23:26:55 <WebChatUser> LOL
23:27:11 <Ampera> WebChatUser, if you don't like their rules don't go to their forum, they can run it how they want.
23:27:12 <WebChatUser> emm, it was "chat area"
23:27:16 <WebChatUser> so not OT
23:27:16 <Lartza> I'd have to see the bots post to have an opinion on that though
23:27:46 <WebChatUser> I asked there, because EEVBlog is a big forum
23:27:53 <WebChatUser> and for sure it has a defensive system
23:28:00 <WebChatUser> I wanted to hear about it
23:28:02 <WebChatUser> just it
23:28:04 <Ampera> WebChatUser, you have over 3000 posts, if you got banned you had it coming
23:28:14 <WebChatUser> ?
23:28:17 <Lartza> "General Chat"?
23:28:20 <WebChatUser> yes
23:28:21 <Ampera> I find it very hard to believe that's the only thing you did
23:28:31 <Lartza> It's still electronics, so the thread was offtopic
23:28:37 <WebChatUser> no user warnings received
23:28:39 <WebChatUser> yet again
23:28:43 <WebChatUser> simon's ....
23:28:49 <WebChatUser> bad communication ?
23:28:51 <WebChatUser> yes
23:29:06 <Ampera> I'm trying to do Dick Dale type surf guitar, but idk if it's better with a thinner pick
23:29:12 <Ampera> I have real thin picks but mine are fairly small
23:29:45 <Lartza> I bought an expensive guitar but haven't managed to really learn yet :P Can't help you with that
23:30:29 <Ampera> This is a real nice bass guitar
23:30:36 <K> i don't even have a kazoo, so there's that.
23:30:42 <Lartza> Almost a waste of money but I'm still young and now I have a nice guitar to learn with
23:30:49 <Ampera> Pearl 4 string electric.
23:30:56 <Ampera> Lartza, I just started learning about 3 weeks ago
23:31:03 <Ampera> lemme get you a link to the most recent thing I've played
23:31:22 <Ampera> http://amperaa.net/cdn/SaintsBassOver.mp3
23:31:43 <Ampera> As I said only 3 weeks in so I'm not great, and this was my first time with the bass
23:31:56 <Lartza> Mine is a electro acoustic from fender
23:32:06 <Lartza> So can't play anything as cool as that :P
23:32:06 <Ampera> Nice name
23:32:15 <Ampera> I have a 100 dollar Fender clone, which sounds alright
23:32:21 <Ampera> but this Pearl is awesome
23:32:36 <Lartza> I THINK I payed around 300 for mine :S
23:32:47 <Ampera> I'm wondering if I'm insane for wanting to try out a bow on this, as I'm thinking it would be neat
23:32:49 <WebChatUser> anyway, guys, I lost confidence and enthusiasm with EEVblog
23:32:59 <WebChatUser> I spend my time there, contributing
23:33:01 <Ampera> WebChatUser, oh well there's always Big Clive
23:33:05 <WebChatUser> and I get a kick in my ass
23:33:23 <WebChatUser> so .. probably I will just disappear in the wood
23:33:24 <Ampera> m9 if you're gonna come into an EEVBlog IRC start asking for sympathy for being banned because you pissed off the mods, do n
23:33:27 <WebChatUser> thanks
23:33:29 <Ampera> n't expect many takers.
23:33:31 <Ampera> ciao
23:33:50 <Lartza> Yeah the fender does sound pretty nice, I think the costly part is in the electronics which I did want
23:34:00 Quit: WebChatUser ([email protected]) Quit: AustNet Web Chat - https://webchat.austnet.org/
23:34:05 <K> welp.
23:34:11 <Lartza> So I can imagine the clones are just fine
23:34:29 <K> at least we didnt need to talk about fish for him to get it.
23:34:31 <Lartza> I was kind of afraid it's going to end up sounding bad acoustic only with the electronics but doesn't seem to be the case
23:35:06 <Ampera> I'm currently trying to play Misirlou
23:35:14 Quit: Guest|70800 ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
23:35:38 <Lartza> My ultimate goal is sultans of swing as a dare from my friends, but it was already a long time ago ;P
23:36:01 <Ampera> My dare is Jessica
23:36:04 <Lartza> They probably forgot which is good for me
23:37:08 <Lartza> I'm sure you'll get there in no time
23:38:14 <Ampera> It's about having fun and experimenting for me
23:38:33 <Ampera> I /really/ should be taking a break as I'm playing my damn fingers raw, but it's so fun
23:39:02 <Lartza> Hehe yeah I haven't played because I haven't been in the mood for the longest time now, can't force it since it's meant to be a hobby :)
23:39:46 <Lartza> Fingers got sore really fast yeah, I did buy picks to help the other hand a bit but
23:40:46 <Ampera> Bass is way easier on the hands though
23:41:46 <Lartza> Yeah I can imagine, I've played a few hours of bass aswell just for fun in a group
23:44:54 <Ampera> I'm starting to like it better than a regular electric
23:46:02 <Lartza> I've only touched a regular one but never played :)
23:47:12 <Lartza> I guess it's either up to what you want to play or what you like the most to play. I can definitely see that I'm missing out on some stuff with an acoustic guitar but it just seemed nicer to play in the long run
