08:23:29 <steve30> rust_collector, cool
08:23:48 <steve30> My Dad got to 40 years with the same firm recently
08:25:33 <rust_collector> I feel I have been there "forever" and I am 40. Yeah, it is cool, He is probably one of the last to have only one job in his life
08:33:33 <DHess_US> This looks clever, https://www.amazon.com/GL-iNet-GL-MT300N-V2-Repeater-Performance-Compatible/dp/B073TSK26W
08:34:05 <DHess_US> I'd prefer a MicroTik router but they don't support full OpenVPN.
08:44:26 <rust_collector> that does look like a neat device.
08:45:52 <DHess_US> They make a bunch of others. I was just hunting for something to mess around with.
08:48:22 <rust_collector> I replaced the wifes router yesterday. I wonder if I should do something with the old one. But... I don't know why I would, other than to have something to do
08:49:35 <DHess_US> I'm thinking that I need to put a VPN gateway up again but it gets complicated if I just stick OpenVPN on a PC because of security issues.
08:50:00 <rust_collector> but I have a thing for small devices like that. I bought a "roadstar" brand tiny little car stereo amplifier, just because it was so cute
08:50:12 <DHess_US> PFSense solves that but I'm not sure I want to run a whole PC just for that.
08:50:31 <DHess_US> And I don't think PFSense will run on my existing router anymore.
08:51:41 <DHess_US> So I can buy that thing for $20 or swap my existing router hardware out.
08:54:42 <rust_collector> soooo...... let me know how it works when you get it

09:54:13 <rust_collector> I clicked like on that
09:56:20 <rust_collector> so, what is that thingie on the floor, just in front of the camera?
09:57:36 <steve30> don't know, looks like some electronicy thing
09:57:43 <rust_collector> yea

22:01:12 <Nothing\> i always wondered why nobody uses axial lead inductors much, after getting some 10mh ones and finding their resistance is almost 50 ohms i can see why :/
22:01:39 <K> prolly is fine for rf stuff
22:01:50 <K> not power
22:02:00 <Nothing\> i would imagine so
22:03:02 <Nothing\> lol speaking of power, i tried making a makeshift transformer from a nail and some 0.2mm enamel wire, the magic smoke promptly escaped, i didn't figure 0.2mm wire wouldn't handle much current so it just melted and shorted out live and learn
22:03:23 <Nothing\> prolly just as well, that nail has terrible hysteresis
22:03:37 <Nothing\> actually it was that very nail that taught me what hysteresis was
22:05:46 <Nothing\> been trying to figure out lately how to characterize the cutoff voltage for an n channel jfet and i'm at a loss, i'm pretty sure i need a dual rail supply for it cuz anything i come up with with a single rail seems it would reverse bias it, which i understand is really bad for a jfet
22:07:29 <Nothing\> still wanna make my lambda diode but for some reason i don't want to try until i find 2 closely matched complimentary fets, though the 2 types i decided on have typical cutoff voltages of 4 and -2v so i wanna try to at least get as close as i can
22:09:26 <Nothing\> oh snap, tomorrow's the anniversary of D-Day
22:24:24 <Nothing\> LOL one of the squirrels just bashed its face into the window in a desparate attempt to get peanuts inide
22:24:37 <Nothing\> and now he's licking the inside of an empty shell
22:25:38 <Nothing\> i think squirrels musta been crackheads in a previous life, with ocd
23:38:33 <steve30> just had an answering machine message from someone who wants the nurse to call her back.
23:38:35 <steve30> :/
23:54:49 <Nothing\> did she sound like a pensioner?
