00:27:57 <K> hello
00:27:57 <EEVBlog> Hello there, K!
00:28:00 <K> yay!
00:34:18 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: So it turns out that Podcast Guest Spam is a thing. An exciting new form of targeted spam where people desperate for attention try to get on popular podcasts, even if their subject matter isn't relevant.
00:47:23 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: RT @ImagesFail: Her screwdriver skills are just as good as her soldering skills. https://t.co/IcQ1SSCbdE
00:48:26 <steve30> What's wrong with her screwdrivering?
00:49:34 <Ampera> She's too fucking happy.
00:49:39 <Ampera> Nobody should be that happy with a screwdriver.
00:49:45 <Ampera> It's sick.
00:51:24 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: RT @ImagesFail: Hang on, I've seen this shirt before... https://t.co/MNP7CDxPJM
00:54:26 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: RT @Loberd3: Best electrician van ever. @eevblog https://t.co/mRebP0O6PC
01:00:32 <coppice_> That's really sexist. When the dude is wearing the shirt and holding the soldering iron he holds it reasonably
01:01:47 <Ampera> He's still poking it at some old bit of PC hardware.
01:02:25 <coppice_> we can't really see where he's poking it
01:03:04 <Ampera> There's a parallel port and PS/2 mouse port right in shot
01:03:05 <coppice_> although he definitely shouldn't be looking forwards while hold the iron that close to wherever it is
01:03:22 <Ampera> couple of audio jacks too
01:09:31 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: RT @ImagesFail: Good posture is overrated. https://t.co/MVZ3iFTl1o
01:17:03 <coppice_> what constitutes good posture for that creature who's skin can take the heat of a soldering iron?

06:26:33 <Halcyon> Sorry, that was me just testing the webchat
06:34:43 <steve30> Halcyon, I managed to finish downloading Episode 1 of Vicious. Now I'm trying to download Episode 2.
06:35:08 <Halcyon> I think I can explain my dropouts, there is a fault on my line which causes loss of line sync randomly
06:35:14 <Halcyon> I still can't explain the slow speeds
06:35:38 <steve30> It did come good earlier. For a while it went >300KB/s.
06:35:57 <steve30> Currently its 50KB/s though.
06:36:00 <Halcyon> You should be getting a few MB/sec
06:36:03 <Halcyon> Not in the order of KB
06:36:24 <Halcyon> But later problem, it may go up and down today as my ISP diagnoses the fault
06:36:33 <Halcyon> Anyway better go to work. Laters.
06:37:32 <DHess_US> Slow speeds can just be high error rates and ARQ.
06:38:12 <DHess_US> Halcyon, DSL? Cable?
06:50:31 <Ampera> DHess_US, I believe he has NBN VDSL to the node
06:50:47 <Ampera> just not very good VDSL
06:50:51 <DHess_US> Bing. Dry open.
06:50:54 <DHess_US> Bingo
06:51:14 <Ampera> Well tell that to the techs down under
06:51:38 <DHess_US> If the line is used for POTs, then pull the phone off hook and see if it changes anything.
06:52:03 <DHess_US> If it is a dry line, then use an isolated current source to drive like 10 milliamps DC through it.
06:52:20 * Ampera drives something into DHess_US, he just doesn't know what yet
06:52:58 <DHess_US> I had that problem with DSL many years ago. The phone company got really annoyed with me because I just left my phone off the hook for a month so I could have fast DSL. They got so annoyed that they came out and fixed the line.
06:53:20 <DHess_US> The difference was 384/128 versus 1.5M/384
06:53:44 <Ampera> I'm thankful enough to have near gigabit FttP
06:56:05 <DHess_US> uncapped?
06:56:55 <Ampera> DHess_US, yep
07:00:06 <DHess_US> Nice. Most US customers are lucky to get 768 kbits/sec no matter what their ISP advertises.

08:03:52 <Ampera> DHess_US, trust me we've gotten more than that
08:12:36 <Ampera> T3sl4, I need some good conductivity thermal pads for a passively cooled PC that has an undefined/unknown mounting gap for the main heatsink. It's all mobile hardware, and an OEM device, so it should be good, but the pads it has aren't making good contact and I need to buy new ones
08:13:05 <Ampera> they need to be a few mm thick, enough to where they could squish out when mounted. I have no idea what sorts of thermal pads are out there, so I'm wondering if you got anything.

09:54:35 <DHess_US> Ampera, the answer is JB Weld. The answer is always JB Weld.
10:01:19 <orbii> JB weld fixes everything.

19:31:57 <steve30> :)
19:35:59 <Halcyon> Hey steve30
19:36:01 <Halcyon> Ampera
19:38:29 <steve30> hi
19:40:19 <steve30> episode 2 of vicious downloaded over night :)
19:47:03 <Halcyon> Hooray!
20:09:00 * steve30 hugs Halcyon
20:09:03 <Halcyon> Aw :)
20:09:35 <Halcyon> What ya doing?
20:10:01 <steve30> youtubing and coffeeing
20:10:10 <Halcyon> :)
20:12:17 <steve30> I might get some food
20:12:25 <Halcyon> Good idea
20:17:31 <steve30> Halcyon, see https://support.aa.net.uk/VoIP_-_Calling_With_a_SIP_URI
20:19:28 <Halcyon> Yep, I would need to do some config on this end and it probably means exposing my PBX to the internet, which I kind of don't want to do
20:19:34 <Halcyon> I will look into options
20:20:11 <Halcyon> The other thing is, I don't use a softphone, I have a physical SIP phone
20:22:27 <Halcyon> Back soon, need to make some food and re-load the dishwasher

20:52:34 <Halcyon> A change from what?
20:56:40 <steve30> filter coffee
20:56:45 <Halcyon> So black?
20:56:59 <steve30> although I decided to just make filter coffee, didn't fancy setting up the espresso machine
20:57:04 <steve30> no, I have milk
20:57:08 <Halcyon> Oh flat white
20:57:48 <steve30> Vicious ep3 is currently at 100KB/s
21:00:17 <Halcyon> Have you watched any yet
21:00:18 <Halcyon> ?
21:04:17 <steve30> I watched episode 1 yesterday :)
21:04:33 <Halcyon> A fan?
21:04:45 <steve30> it was good
21:04:56 <Halcyon> It keeps getting better
21:05:33 <steve30> Those two characters are a bit gay :D
21:05:42 <Halcyon> :P
21:05:44 <Halcyon> Wonder why
21:06:16 * T3sl4 looks at the channel, wonders if steve30 is being self-referential right now
21:06:26 <Halcyon> :)
21:07:10 <Halcyon> I don't quite understand the references to the suburbs in the first episodes
21:07:14 <Halcyon> Like "Wiggum" et...
21:07:25 <Halcyon> I guess you have to be a Brit
21:07:49 <T3sl4> not chief wiggum?
21:07:59 <Halcyon> Nope :)
21:08:30 <T3sl4> don't actually know offhand where they got that name from, might be coincidence
21:08:54 <T3sl4> (simpsons drew a lot of names from local (portland, oregon) streets, though)
21:09:03 <Halcyon> Oh really?
21:10:08 <steve30> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigan
21:10:37 <Halcyon> Ah
21:10:48 <Halcyon> I won't even try to spell the other place he said
21:13:41 <steve30> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicious_(TV_series)
21:13:45 <steve30> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leytonstone
21:14:11 <Halcyon> Ahh the way he said "...stone" threw me
21:14:36 <Halcyon> I'm guessing that's your bogan accent?
21:19:53 <steve30> Apparently its Christmas
21:20:25 <Halcyon> Hm>
21:20:25 <Halcyon> >
21:20:27 <Halcyon> ?
21:20:51 <steve30> Santa was on the radio yesterday
