04:14:37 <rust_collector> which turns out to be pots
04:15:18 <rust_collector> that is all folks, remember to subscribe and like the bell button

06:23:56 <Ampera> how do
07:04:25 <DHess_US> The UK ISPs announced that DNS over HTTPS is bad so I just installed it for my entire network.
07:04:54 <steve30> sounds like a good idea to me
07:17:27 <DHess_US> Now have DNS over HTTPs going to Cloudflare and Quad9 on IPv4 and IPv6.
07:18:24 <DHess_US> So 8 different servers over HTTPS (TLS)
07:18:49 <DHess_US> forward-ssl-upstream: yes
07:18:50 <DHess_US> forward-addr: 1.1.1.1@853
07:18:50 <DHess_US> forward-addr: 1.0.0.1@853
07:18:50 <DHess_US> forward-addr: 9.9.9.9@853
07:18:50 <DHess_US> forward-addr: 149.112.112.112@853
07:18:52 <DHess_US> forward-addr: 2606:4700:4700::1111@853
07:18:54 <DHess_US> forward-addr: 2606:4700:4700::1001@853
07:18:56 <DHess_US> forward-addr: 2620:fe::fe@853
07:18:58 <DHess_US> forward-addr: 2620:fe::9@853
07:19:25 <DHess_US> https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20190708/07360742536/uk-isps-vilify-mozilla-trying-to-secure-internet.shtml
07:37:03 <Ampera> lol, that's because they can't lazily prevent you from looking at unstately imagery
07:41:44 <DHess_US> Added 4 more DNS servers.
07:42:16 <DHess_US> Ampera, they use it to block more than that.
07:42:40 <Ampera> are they blocking the stately thoughts now too?
07:42:56 <Ampera> perhaps they're learning from the mistakes of the soviet union, and just making all thought illegal, no matter what it is
07:43:03 <DHess_US> They are blocking anything deamed politically incorrect.
07:43:15 <Ampera> so unstately thoughts
07:44:52 <DHess_US> Also, I've uploaded the Christchurch shooting documents almost 50 times. Censor that New Zealand.
07:45:10 <Ampera> New Zealand is even worse
07:45:32 <Ampera> They don't just censor that shit, they'll throw you behind bars for being ideologically incompatible with their idea of society
07:45:37 <Ampera> Literal gulag
07:45:51 <DHess_US> And about 500 copies of 3D firearm prints.
07:46:07 <Ampera> oh no, not the plastic gun that's going to melt itself after 10 rounds
07:46:45 <DHess_US> Actually plastic lowers like the AR15 and Glock 17.
07:46:50 <DHess_US> In the US, that is the "firearm" part.
07:47:01 <Ampera> yes, but they don't 3D print the polymer in firearms
07:47:42 <Ampera> it's a bit more heat resistant than ABS/PLA, and if you're going to make the excuse of having a metal barrel anyways, what's the point in even going on about 3D printed guns
07:48:00 <DHess_US> I just said, because the "lower" is the firearm under law.
07:48:10 <DHess_US> You can buy the upper, slide, barrel, whatever.
07:48:47 <Ampera> the receiver, the part that contains the action and loads the cartridge, over the barrel or any other parts.
07:49:03 <Ampera> which is not a bad idea, as controlling a barrel is literally trying to control a small pipe
07:49:06 <DHess_US> https://spee.ch/@Deterrence-Dispensed:2
07:49:24 <Ampera> okay that's actually pretty cool
07:50:08 <Ampera> but the real point is that nobody's going to get a 3D printer and suddenly be able to pump out enough new guns to fuel an army on that basis alone
07:50:19 <DHess_US> But you are right and there are lots of 80% receivers available now which are much better than a 3D printed one.
07:50:50 <Ampera> fuck 80% receivers, you can't stop making guns unless you're going to start controlling lathe and machine ownership
07:51:05 <DHess_US> https://www.80-lower.com/
07:51:32 <DHess_US> BATFE actually proposed that.
07:51:43 <Ampera> oh, thought you meant mill out receivers
07:52:16 <Ampera> of course someone proposed it, because there are people still stupid enough to go on about endlessly controlling a concept and item that cannot be controlled for anybody besides law abiding citizens.
07:52:33 <Ampera> focus on why people are shooting each other, now how they are doing it
07:54:09 <DHess_US> Machinging a complete lower and the rest is pretty involved.
07:54:56 <Ampera> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIhGCRIQnCA
07:55:16 <Ampera> you don't need to mill or machine much at all to get a functioning firearm
07:55:39 <Ampera> the mechanics of modern firearms have been understood for decades, and are just as powerful now as they were back then, but even easier to make
07:56:26 <Ampera> and as time moves on and tools become better and making complicated things become easier, I believe that society will soon fine it still makes very little security to control stuff that you can't control
08:08:20 <DHess_US> Oh, I agree. But if you want to machine a Glock or AR lower from bar stock, it is not trivial.
08:13:27 <Ampera> No I suppose not. I'm not saying 3D printing doesn't have a place in gun hobbyists, I'm just making fun of the people who get all bent out of shape because someone can make plastic pieces at home now
08:20:35 <DHess_US> This is what they should really worry about. It finishes an 80% lower. https://ghostgunner.net/
09:14:54 <Ampera> oh dear, new BB guns are cheap enough to be something I might want to buy
09:15:10 <Ampera> https://www.daisy.com/product/Red-Ryder-Model-1938/?itemnumber=991938-011
09:15:15 <Ampera> 40 bucks
09:15:31 <Ampera> also 650 shot capacity, somehow
09:17:04 <Ampera> oh they have some quite nice ones, if only I had more land
09:23:14 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: https://t.co/fUoVsJfoaM
09:36:39 <Halcyon> Morning
10:16:25 <Ampera> hi Halcyon
10:16:31 <Ampera> (if you are indeed still there)
10:18:07 * steve30 meows at Halcyon
10:30:01 <Halcyon> I am :)
10:30:03 <Halcyon> Hey Steve
10:38:19 <Ampera> Halcyon, installed a program called amsynth to my DAW, it can do analog waveform synth manipulation goodies
10:38:26 <Ampera> I also installed a software scope, so I can look at those waveforms
10:38:52 <Halcyon> Ah cool
10:39:57 * steve30 wonders whether to go out on the bike later
10:40:02 <Ampera> in other cheery news, my grandfather has just woken up from surgery
10:40:16 <steve30> What did he have done?
10:40:18 <Halcyon> Oh awesome!
10:40:18 <Ampera> parathyroidectomy
10:40:56 <Ampera> to remove 3.5/4 overactive parathyroid glands, which no longer regulate calcium like they should
10:41:12 <steve30> I hope it went well
10:44:16 <steve30> My Mum went to the doctors. Looks like she finally got a referral to an endocrinologist for a second opinion.
10:48:37 <steve30> on the subject of my mother, does Facebook tend to be a reliable source of medical information?
10:48:57 <Halcyon> I don't thing is a reliable source of anything
10:49:03 <Halcyon> *think
10:49:07 <steve30> :)
10:53:27 <Ampera> Seconded, Facebook under no circumstances is a reliable source for any information.
10:53:48 <Ampera> It's public enemy number 1 as far as I'm concerned, and is inhabited by boomers
10:54:14 <Ampera> using the current popular subdefinition of boomer to indicate a mindset of a person who is out of touch
10:54:27 <steve30> my mother seems to be using it for her thyroid information
10:54:55 <Ampera> I'd say the most consistently reliable source for general medical information is Wikipedia, but the best way to find information is to aggregate, check, and reason
10:55:06 <Ampera> Don't rely on someone else to think for you, ever.
10:56:40 <Halcyon> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qA_j1IwQUc
10:56:44 <Halcyon> Bahaha stupid cats
10:57:21 <Ampera> Halcyon, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/310478241989263371/598275831680336004/IMG_20190709_180909.jpg
10:57:24 <Ampera> my cat found a new spot
10:57:35 <steve30> aww, meow
10:57:49 <Halcyon> Stupid cat
10:57:51 <steve30> their fur looks nice and cosy :)
10:58:01 <Ampera> he's a really nice cat
10:58:11 <Ampera> His name is Enrico Fermi
11:00:02 * T3sl4 hugs steve30
11:00:17 * Ampera hugs T3sl4
11:01:04 * steve30 curls up next to T3sl4
11:01:04 <T3sl4> :)
11:01:13 * T3sl4 scritches steve30
11:02:50 <DHess_US> I for one welcome our stupid cat overlords.
11:03:02 <T3sl4> Easily defeated with laser weapons.
11:03:13 <Ampera> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGDy1J4hd6w earworm
11:05:45 <T3sl4> not bad
11:05:58 <Ampera> I absolutely love the Four Seasons
11:06:05 <Ampera> one of the best groups of all time
11:06:38 <Halcyon> Yup
11:06:54 <Ampera> https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKchGpoKlsSbvWHALm04MI8sRDeH7F89Z Every song on this album is awesome
11:07:06 <Ampera> I really don't tend to like entire albums, but I can't think of a bad song on this album
11:08:09 <Ampera> I should go see Jersey Boys again one of these days
11:08:20 <Ampera> I saw it when I was really young, and remember enjoying it
11:32:48 <DHess_US> Yea, Four Seasons is greats. Err, wait, you don't mean Vivaldi, do you?
11:33:08 <Ampera> Vivaldi?
11:34:30 <DHess_US> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Four_Seasons_(Vivaldi)
11:34:54 <Ampera> no, amazingly enough, I do not mean that
11:36:15 <DHess_US> You need to watch more science fiction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_wK74Ejnqc
11:38:30 <DHess_US> Oddly enough a movie which has become even more relevant recently.
