17:21 <just4fun> re
18:50 <just4fun> I would never want to life in sweden
21:16 <DHess_US> Why not? Hmm, Swedish bikini team ...
21:43 <just4fun> who maybe got raped by the "locals"
21:54 <DHess_US> I wouldn't either though. No citizen militia.
22:47 <just4fun> sadly i cant move there is to my knowlage no other eupean country who have no nuclear plant ans isnt a nato member
25:42 <rust_collector> as long as you don't move to the city, I think sweden is fairly normal
27:50 <just4fun> i would not life in a country who have some no go areas
32:10 <DHess_US> Most countries have no-go areas. Some countries like Mexico *are* no-go areas.
33:28 <just4fun> beside of canada noth and south are fucked uf...
33:47 <rust_collector> yeah. I don't think it matters much if it is a no-go country or area
34:12 <rust_collector> just don't go there
34:57 <just4fun> poland is much safer than sweden
35:14 <rust_collector> heh, ok
35:31 <just4fun> even ukrain i guess
35:50 <just4fun> germany is fucked up even the police dont care when the deal with drugs anymore
42:27 <rust_collector> but, what is worst? nuclear power, or nato menbership?
42:44 <just4fun> both
42:55 <rust_collector> both are worst... ok

57:17 <SirAlucard> Morning (or evening depending on where you are).
58:10 <rust_collector> hellos
01:33 <T3sl4> be careful, the sun is out over here
01:50 <SirAlucard> Yep it sure is, and it's absolutely horrible already.
04:08 <rust_collector> ooof, sun
06:26 <SirAlucard> So I'm looking at trying to get an hp 3468A, think it's worth getting? ATM I'v eonly got an Amprobe AM-520 and a Fluke 8012A, thinking of wanting something with a bit more resolution.
06:37 <SirAlucard> Tho not really sure I need it.
06:55 <rust_collector> but you probably want it...
07:25 <rust_collector> wants win over needs
09:18 <SirAlucard> Yea, but being tight on funds wins over wants.
09:31 <rust_collector> ok, so forget about it
09:50 <just4fun> who else use a cb radio?
10:11 <SirAlucard> Hard to forget about when the price is decent enough to make me consider it. Talkin ~$50 with shipping.
10:20 <rust_collector> there is one guy up north, who has a cb radio
10:30 <rust_collector> ok, sold!
10:39 <rust_collector> you can have noodles for a week
10:46 <SirAlucard> lol
11:21 <SirAlucard> Not really sure what that kind of resolution is good for tho
12:23 <rust_collector> you would know very exactly how much voltage your 9v battery has in it...
13:09 <just4fun> when i put 10 9v battery together do get 90v?
13:46 <rust_collector> depends on their voltage, I would say?
14:25 <just4fun> 9v each
17:15 <T3sl4> stacked in series, + to -, yes
17:26 <T3sl4> you can draw a nice arc off such a stack
17:57 <SirAlucard> I remember once connecting close to 20 9v together like that, never ended up doing much with it tho lol
18:11 <SirAlucard> just thought it was cool I could do that.
18:23 <SirAlucard> (was a kid at the time)
18:44 <coppice> I miss the good old days when stores always stocked 200V batteries for your portable tube radio
20:10 <T3sl4> did they make a 200? there were 45Vs and such, at least
21:06 <coppice> I can't remember the exact voltage, but it was quite high. It was a large rectangular lump, with screw terminals - ones you needed to take considerable care with
21:44 <coppice> It might have been 180V.
22:23 <coppice> obviously they had a separate lowe voltage battery for the heaters
23:59 <coppice> when I was a kid there were still hybrid car radios that ran everything from 12V
24:15 <T3sl4> those were neat tubes
24:18 <coppice> they used semis for the PA, though

55:25 <rust_collector> SirAlucard: how much did it go for?
58:02 <coppice> Its really annoying when nice bits of kit appear on e-bay and they are offered in person collection only
58:51 <rust_collector> all the nice stuff is in the us, and shipping anything more than a cd is $300
59:25 <rust_collector> hmm, shipping from the uk is also...not cheap
00:24 <coppice> international shipment can be a PITA unless you are in a free port

28:33 <DHess_US> For the interesting stuff shipping is a killer either way.
28:45 <DHess_US> I'm pretty sure one of my 7834s was damaged in shipping.

07:42 <ThunderSqueak> good and bad
07:51 <ThunderSqueak> today has been a mixed bag
08:00 <Ampera> sounds like every day for me
08:03 <ThunderSqueak> had an alergic reaction the required a shot
08:15 <Ampera> those are fun
08:16 <ThunderSqueak> bit tired now tho from the medication
08:28 <Ampera> What are you allergic to?
08:40 <ThunderSqueak> pistachios
08:51 <Ampera> don't come over, I have a bag of them right next to me :P
08:52 <ThunderSqueak> tree nuts in general, but pistachio this time
09:05 <ThunderSqueak> I didnt realize I ate some
09:21 <ThunderSqueak> not until the hives started
09:38 <ThunderSqueak> cancelled my D&D game
10:10 <Ampera> Well I completed my current job.
10:20 <ThunderSqueak> ??
10:21 <Ampera> All video stuff edited, no major problems
10:22 <ThunderSqueak> explain
10:24 <ThunderSqueak> oh
10:31 <Ampera> I'm a "professional" video editor
10:46 <Ampera> so I just completed a job
11:17 <ThunderSqueak> ah
11:59 <Ampera> now I can go back to my solitude and existential dread

24:37 <steve30> ooh, a halcyon :)
24:59 <Halcyon> brb
25:07 <ThunderSqueak> Hi there Halcyon
25:37 <Guest|61454> - $1,280US for a trash can lid with some castors, filmed in front of a greenhttps://www.cocoamotors.com/
25:51 <Ampera> nobody click that link
26:00 <Ampera> I'm gonna check it out first
28:34 <Ampera> Alright looks good
28:46 <Ampera> sorry that just smelled like something particularly bad
29:34 <Ampera> I'd say those claims aren't too outrageous, though the price most certainly is
29:42 <Ampera> and it does look absolutely retarded
31:33 <Guest|61454> Some of the video has shadows, others sections just have lit pavement. My guess is each "real" shot was from a running start. :)
31:50 <ThunderSqueak> hmm you need a proper name :P
32:12 <Ampera> I actually don't doubt the thing works as advertised. It's just an electric skateboard.
32:42 <Ampera> Stick some lipo batteries in the tray, and you could likely stick some nasty powerful electric motors in there
32:57 <Ampera> That being said I'd love to see someone control that load of shit at 16 kph
33:35 <Guest|61454> I tried the EEVblog "web based client" link and there is a 503 error. Should I try another day?
33:44 <Ampera> Which one
33:54 <Ampera> I believe we have two up, but as a general rule using a real IRC client is always better.
34:15 <Guest|61454> https : // webchat.austnet.org/?nick=WebChatUser&username=JoePublic&join=%23EEVBlog
34:39 <Ampera> Yeah that's austnet's stuff, no clue how well it works
35:00 <Ampera> The one you're using is the KiwiIRC client (we have that on eevblog.com/chat)
35:02 <ThunderSqueak> I suggest just getting a proper client... I find hexchat easy to use and is free
35:15 <Halcyon> What's happening people?
35:21 <Ampera> It's not IRC if you're not punching the PRIVMSG commands into telnet
35:28 <Ampera> The manual pings make it fun
35:33 <Halcyon> Hah
35:40 <ThunderSqueak> not much Halcyon ... just relaxing after taking medications
35:59 <Halcyon> Fair enough
36:50 <ThunderSqueak> yeah
37:04 <ThunderSqueak> I really really want to cuddle someone atm

38:32 <Halcyon> Hey
38:38 <ThunderSqueak> hey :D
38:42 <Ampera> hey
38:45 <ThunderSqueak> my guest left
38:47 <ThunderSqueak> all alone now
38:51 <ThunderSqueak> ; ;
39:00 <ThunderSqueak> his wife called and asked when he was coming home XD
39:04 <ThunderSqueak> she has him on a tight leash
39:15 <Halcyon> Heh
39:38 <ThunderSqueak> glad she trusts us enough to let us hang out and such, we binge watched cobra kai on youtube premium
39:47 <Ampera> that's why it pays to be so mentally broken and pained to make having a relationship unfair to the other person
39:51 <Ampera> you two could learn from me
40:07 <ThunderSqueak> huh?
40:15 <ThunderSqueak> nah, we are just good friends
41:22 <Ampera> I meant him, but whatever
41:30 <Ampera> and by you two I mean you and Halcyon
41:30 <Halcyon> I am so fucking sick of ESXi
41:35 <Halcyon> My gawd this thing is a piece of shit
41:49 <Ampera> not SEXi enough?
42:08 <Halcyon> It's not anything enough
42:45 <Halcyon> VMs will stay up for about 20 minutes then just randomly crash, then you can't reset them because the VMs are powered on (that's the error message)
43:12 <Halcyon> "No, you can't power off this VM because it's on". No shit Sherlock!
49:25 <Ampera> I think VMs in general are a waste of time.
49:31 <Halcyon> They have their place
49:41 <Ampera> They make sense for VPS services, but I find them really annoying for much else.
49:43 <Halcyon> Especially since I can't afford to run physical machines for everything I want
50:03 <Ampera> I can't either, so I don't.
50:11 <Ampera> As I said, place everything in the same userland, or if you must, use jails.
50:44 <Halcyon> When it's a mix of Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, it's a bit hard
51:01 <Ampera> A. Why do you need windows, B. anything that you can do on FreeBSD you can do on Linux
51:18 <Ampera> Your problem is you just don't want to learn how anything works
51:20 <Halcyon> Because there are some tools I use which are Windows only and not all of them have suitable alternatives
51:28 <Ampera> wine
51:30 <Halcyon> On the contrary, my day job is learning how things work
51:34 <Ampera> or simply just have /one/ VM
51:38 <Halcyon> I do it every single day
51:49 <Ampera> you know what I meant
52:07 <Halcyon> Because a system is broken is not a reason to completely change one's workflow
52:12 <Halcyon> VMs aren't the issue
52:15 <Halcyon> It's VMware
52:41 <Ampera> and I'm telling you from my experience with how shitty VMs can be that it is.
53:00 <Halcyon> I'm aware, but the issue here isn't with the VMs themselves
53:03 <Halcyon> It's the host
53:11 <Halcyon> I've used VM's for over 20 years
53:41 <Ampera> I've used them for close to a decade myself, and I've never set out to do something on a VM and had it worked the way I wanted to.
53:46 <Ampera> Something somewhere always breaks
54:00 <Halcyon> The difference is, on something which is halfway decent, you can fix it.
54:17 <Halcyon> When you get obscure messages and absolutely no reason for things to break, that's not acceptable
54:23 <Ampera> I've used VirtualBox, VMWare, and QEMU solutions, and while the last one is the best I've used yet, it still has heaps of issues.
59:48 <Halcyon> I know VMs and alike can be troublesome
00:06 <Halcyon> But never have I had this many ridiculous issues than with VMware
00:31 <Ampera> I'm mostly debating with you for the shits, I actually don't care what you use, but I've never had a single issue with my implementation not working ever.
00:38 <Halcyon> My priority right now is not trying to work out why, it's about backing up the important files within the encrypted volumes before the damn thing doesn't start at all
02:09 <Halcyon> Even using VMware at Uni these last few years, I've come to the conclusion it's fucking shit
14:44 <Ampera> Honestly (as far as Player is concerned) VMware was one of the nicer hypervisors I've used. My only gripe is that it's a pain in the ass to deal with on Linux.
14:59 <Ampera> and an even bigger pain in the ass to configure bits like firmware in general

52:41 <Halcyon> Oh yes, do tell
52:41 <steve30> Lets just say my nipples are still a bit sore, and my, umm, front output connector, is still a bit fragile from being... 'probed'.
52:41 <Halcyon> Ohh, you're into sounding ? :P
52:41 <Halcyon> You never told us your safe word
52:41 <steve30> I'd always fancied trying it, but never had.
52:41 <Halcyon> How was it?
52:41 <steve30> He's also into 'breathplay', which i've now decided I'm a bit indifferent to.
52:41 <Halcyon> (I never have)

26:54 <rust_collector> Today, I am thinking about what country I would move to, again.
37:26 <Lartza> Finland is pretty nice two days a year
37:55 <Lartza> Our allocated good summer days per year 8-)
39:00 <rust_collector> the last few years, we have had our 3 days of summer in march. Well, last year was a bit weird
40:12 <Lartza> Well to be fair we have had at least a week of in finnish terms extreme heatwaves last two summers
40:41 <Lartza> But those ain't good days because it's so moist and nothing is built for such heat
40:52 <rust_collector> Anyway, I guess I would go to a country where I could get a job, which means I should not move, because I do not think there is a huge demand for truck drivers out in the world. I mean, overpaid truck drivers
41:16 <Lartza> :D Overpaid probably not
41:55 <Lartza> No idea what the salaries here are like, sister's ex is a truck driver and seems that there are variety of jobs to choose from but not sure what any of them pay
42:05 <rust_collector> Yea, the last couple of years has been very weird. dry and hot for months, then neverending rain until winter
43:45 <rust_collector> I was employed by the post, back when they were a thing, so I have a much better contract than those who start now. So, for the work I do, I am ok. and I am home every day, which is a thing
44:25 <rust_collector> it would not be hard to earn more, but you would be away all the time
46:36 <Lartza> Yeah the ex got offered runs to mainland europe but never took them
46:49 <Lartza> Would be days away from home each trip
47:51 <rust_collector> Going to the continent is almost just a thing old people talk about now. not many still do that from here
48:16 <Lartza> Whether they were home or not was a different question though. Part of why they split up since the other one was always at work
48:39 <Lartza> I mean no trip took more than a day but still if one works days and other nights and even weekends sometimes...
48:58 <rust_collector> sounds nice and peaceful
49:10 <Lartza> But why live together at that point :P
49:27 <rust_collector> you split the rent, lol
49:29 <Lartza> I guess smaller living costs ;D
49:41 <Lartza> Yeah, single apartments ain't cheap here
55:51 <rust_collector> If I was single and was away for days or weeks, I think I would live in a van
59:03 <Lartza> Not the worst idea necessarily, if it works for you
59:32 <rust_collector> It is not like I need a lot of stuff, if I am never there
02:58 <rust_collector> I am actually looking for a smaller van, that is big enough to fit a bed, but similar enough to a car, that I can... well, do whatever I want in. Like go on an improvised vacation, or...
03:42 <rust_collector> I do not really want a big boxy van, because then I would be driving a big boxy van
33:47 Quit: SparkGap ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving...
42:54 <DHess_US> I've heard of people doing the van thing and then getting a health club membership so they can shower every day before work or whatever.
