12:50 <steve30> hi
13:13 <rust_collector> hoi
33:17 <coppice_> mankind NEEDS to retaliate against the locust
46:56 <hsn> arent we doing it anyway to the nature ?
47:59 <rust_collector> nah, don't worry about that, the rest of nature will get rid of us if it needs to
48:31 <hsn> nature sends locust to us :P
51:12 <rust_collector> yes, then they eat your food, and breed, and next year you have 400 times as many of them, eating your food...
51:38 <rust_collector> I don't know the numbers, but I think they like breeding
52:14 <hsn> hey T3sl4 ..
53:23 <hsn> we get dates .. they can eat
54:00 <rust_collector> yes, they can

09:12 <rust_collector> oman?
09:20 <hsn> there is a video of someone trying to leave some border in china
09:28 <hsn> and they check his temp
09:41 <hsn> swat catch him after trying to escape
10:19 <hsn> oh its excersice
10:51 <rust_collector> it is probably a way to tell people to not try
13:17 <hsn> cant share it too big in imgur
14:14 <rust_collector> meh, don't worry about that

43:11 <Ysjoelfir> hi all
43:20 <Ysjoelfir> I survived the french invasion! :D
43:21 <rust_collector> hey you
43:29 <rust_collector> you always do
45:23 <Ysjoelfir> well, usually we krauts are the one invading france xD
45:53 <Ysjoelfir> Right, Ampera, you semi-kraut?
48:20 <rust_collector> I think you should look that up again, but yeah, did he have a french car with 5 speeds backwards?
48:35 <Ysjoelfir> Actually he had a Ford
48:42 <Ysjoelfir> which is leaking oil
48:51 <rust_collector> awesome
49:40 <rust_collector> that just means it still has some, it is fine
49:54 <Ysjoelfir> yeah, I would be worried if it suddenly stops :P
51:39 <rust_collector> that would mean it has fixed itself.
52:15 <Ysjoelfir> or it just ran out of oul
52:24 <rust_collector> meh, maybe.
52:41 <rust_collector> I am playing with a laser pointer, and the dogs
53:35 <Ysjoelfir> by the way, why do you strange nordish people call beer the same way as we call oil?
53:44 <Ysjoelfir> Ah, the good old laserpointer :D The cats love it.
54:09 <Ysjoelfir> Its enough for me to open the drawer where it is in and they go absolutely apeshit
55:20 <coppice_> The French are no fun these days. I remember when we Brits used to make fun of their engineering, but now they still do engineering and Brit engineers need to go abroad to work
56:44 <Ysjoelfir> oh, you mean into that europe thing you just left?^^
56:55 <Ysjoelfir> or to ireland?
57:06 <coppice_> Asia in my case
57:21 <coppice_> lots of British engineers went to the US
57:39 <Ysjoelfir> asia? thats rather far :)
57:50 <coppice_> I didn't commute there
58:09 <Ysjoelfir> then how do you work there?
58:37 <coppice_> I don't work at all now, but I lived in HK for 25 years, and worked all over Asia
59:05 <Ysjoelfir> oh, ok. :) it must be pretty intersting working there
06:53 <coppice_> when the UK economy was driven into a serious crash by the UK government in 1991/1992 I didn't see a lot of options, and considering that most engineering jobs in the UK have evaporated since then it was clearly a wise choice
08:06 <Ysjoelfir> I agree, that sounds like a good thing to do
09:07 <coppice_> The UK is pretty corrupt. I wonder how much the buddies of the minsters profited by crashing the UK economy?
09:53 <Ysjoelfir> i have no idea about that
23:07 <T3sl4> Halcyon: spot the birb https://i.redd.it/ixvdvuiv1oi41.jpg
25:12 <Ysjoelfir> found it, if you meant to say bird :D
30:13 <T3sl4> indeed ;)
32:39 <coppice_> I'll parrot what Ysjoelfir said
33:22 <coppice_> "A mangoes into a bird cage...."
33:34 <Ysjoelfir> :D
36:55 <coppice_> I'm amused by the boot covers being found in 737 fuel tanks. People were apparently careful enough to put on the contamination protection, but just left it behind :)
37:24 <Ysjoelfir> wutt? I must have missed that one :D
37:41 <rust_collector> many did, lol
39:40 <T3sl4> coppice_, this joke is dead
39:43 <T3sl4> dead dead dead dead dead
45:03 <coppice_> "Man found dead on top of mistress. He died doing what he loved"
51:04 <Ysjoelfir> that sounds pretty logical

15:41 <Ampera> rust_collector, I thought you were rust_collector
16:31 <T3sl4> you can't collect rust with a reducing agent!
16:32 <rust_collector> Yes, that too. i just use my laser pointer to melt butter. it is one of my hobbies

59:15 <Ysjoelfir> I am always amazed how those pakistani can repair trucks with just the simplest tools and make them work and look nice again
59:27 <Ysjoelfir> (nice-ness depends on personal flavour, obviously)

59:59 <mamalala> aloha Ysjoelfir
00:07 <Ysjoelfir> hi :)
00:18 <Ysjoelfir> i survived the french invasion!
00:46 <mamalala> hehe
03:12 <mamalala> Ysjoelfir: have fun withh all that stuff
03:31 <Ysjoelfir> thanks, I will dig through it when I find the time tomorrow^^
04:54 <rust_collector> I knew it, you people tricked the frog into hauling your stuff to each other... good job!
05:23 <Ysjoelfir> 0:-)
07:17 <rust_collector> sssssssneakyyy

43:00 <DHess_US> Their stuff is pretty interesting but I wish they did some practical things.
43:36 <rust_collector> yup. they are great ate doing useless stuff
44:04 <rust_collector> I guess the volvo bathtub was as good as you can get a volvo, so that is one thing
45:25 <DHess_US> Speaking of useless stuff, https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=az95q_1582436502

59:59 <Ysjoelfir> I just made some puke. Or pesto that looks like puke
01:34 <rust_collector> I think it is just a question of when you put a name on it
03:04 <Ysjoelfir> that is true
03:14 <Ysjoelfir> however, it is pretty tasty actzakky
03:19 <Ysjoelfir> *actually
09:46 <Lord_of_nothing> re
10:30 <Lord_of_nothing> who invade the french into?
11:14 <rust_collector> the non-french
11:25 <rust_collector> they are everywhere
27:06 <coppice_> Henry the fifth, near Agincourt
27:46 <coppice_> There are others. Henry is just one example
32:59 <coppice_> Ysjoelfir: Its hard to kill a Hino. Its like trying to kill a HiLux from their sister company, Toyota
36:45 <rust_collector> they are very very tough. at least the model they had until around 1990 had a very heavy engine, with almost no power at all. but it just kept going
38:31 <rust_collector> they also had pretty long springs, so they were reasonably comfortable, compared to...say a nissan
38:57 <coppice_> Their delivery vans share a lot with Toyota (like the hybrid drivetrain in some) but I doubt the big trucks share much
39:16 <coppice_> rust_collector: do you mean UD trucks?
41:22 <rust_collector> I think they were sold as ud some places, here they were called nissan diesel model name udsomeletter
42:19 <rust_collector> well, as toyota wons hino, that makes sense that they use their parts
42:23 <rust_collector> owns
42:35 <coppice_> interesting. In Asia they just say UD (Utility Diesel) on the front
43:28 <coppice_> does Toyota actually own Hino? I thought they were just in the same keiretsu
45:31 <rust_collector> They were also pretty reliable, and some of them were scary quick. i had a 240 hp 12 ton nissan, and it would walk away from bmws from standing still, well, until...30, maybe. they had a pretty aggressive setup, and a variable geometry turbo. The passenger seat was actually mounted on the turbo control computer box
46:09 <coppice_> UD diesel engines have a reputation for huge torque
46:27 <rust_collector> I should not say I am completely sure about how exactly one owns the other or so, but I am pretty sure they did, at some time
47:30 <coppice_> Toyota owns all of Aisin, a bit of Denso, etc. Their relationships can be messy
47:39 <rust_collector> well, they were huge engines, for their power rating. the one I used, was a small-medium sized one, i think it was a 15 ton or so. and it had 160hp, from a 7.5liter non turbo engine
48:21 <rust_collector> it would easily do 150km/h, if you had time to get there
48:31 <rust_collector> and no inclines
49:30 <coppice_> Mitsubishi trucks probably have the best reputation for robustness. When you see a truck in Asia built for carrying something really heavy its usually says Mitsubishi, or one of their other names, like Fuso
50:51 <rust_collector> yeah, the heavy fuso things seems to be fairly reliable, I believe they used cummins engines a lot. the smaller mistu fusos have mistubishi van engines, which are not that great.
51:25 <rust_collector> but i guess everything has a weak point
51:58 <rust_collector> I have not had much to do with the heavy mistubishis, except the mobile cranes.
52:20 <rust_collector> I have seen 2 or 3 of them. and I am not sure if any were sold up here
52:43 <rust_collector> the cranes were quite popular here... I guess in the 80s
53:53 <coppice_> of course, if you want to see a seriously robust Asian truck, try Komatsu :)
53:57 <rust_collector> I wonder if the cranes were actually kato, on a mitsubishi chassis. At least they look the same. but... I dunno
54:02 <rust_collector> meh
54:14 <rust_collector> komatsu is disposable machines
54:38 <rust_collector> they have the haulpack, which is not a komatsu design
54:59 <coppice_> huh? have you seen the things they build for jobs like quarries?
55:06 <rust_collector> yes
55:29 <rust_collector> the haulpack, as they used to be called. they are not designed by komatsu
55:45 <rust_collector> they bought the design, and kept building them
56:02 <rust_collector> they were... uhm.. le tourneau?
56:06 <rust_collector> i think it was
56:08 <coppice_> they have battery powered ones now
56:26 <rust_collector> yep
57:18 <rust_collector> they make nice machines to use, but when they are used up, they are used up, it makes little sense to rebuild them, like...say a cat
58:15 <coppice_> Mitsubishi's strategy of making one of everything used to serve them well, but its really dragging them down now as they are forced to divest more and mroe
00:07 <rust_collector> We used to build some big forklifts up here, for caterpillar. you know, the container stackers, and log loader things. then mitsubishi bought that part of cat, and then started to try to save money. they really built a lot of crap
00:36 <coppice_> so does cat these days
00:56 <rust_collector> well, like everyone else these days
02:07 <rust_collector> i think what mistubishi survives on, is that they have a lot of production capacity, they make things for other companies a lot
03:19 <coppice_> there are crazy stories of farm machinery that didn't come with a software licence agreement soaring in value, because the cost of ownership works out so much better than being under the thumb of people like John Deer for modern equipment. new equipment is getting really messed up
03:43 <rust_collector> yep
03:46 <rust_collector> get used to it
04:52 <steve30> ooh, bigclive stream
05:32 <rust_collector> tractors are part of internet of things now. They call and request a service truck for you, if it needs to, lol
07:19 <rust_collector> hmm, I wonder if it was the larger model fendt, or deutz-fahr that did that, and that was probably 15 years ago
08:30 <coppice_> just leave out the SIM card :)
08:51 <rust_collector> ok, butyou have to find the damn card first
09:35 <coppice_> I haven't put a SIM card in my car, although I do let it connect to the internet through my phone when I am in the car
09:45 <steve30> hehe, bigclive has some '5g detectors' :)
10:03 <rust_collector> I like that he has a screwdriver detector
10:18 <rust_collector> I could use that some times

44:32 <hsn> ok i guess i bought a turd xD .............https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRsaGEk-EsQ
50:51 <Lemon> seriously now I need to build things
50:51 <Lemon> and learn how to use all this things
50:51 <Ysjoelfir> And I need some sleep x.x
50:51 <Lemon> sleep ? what is that
50:51 <Lemon> I totally forgot about it :>
50:52 <rust_collector> you can probably find it on wikipedia
50:52 <Ysjoelfir> like getting comfy in your work chair, putting your hat over your eyes and make snorring sounds to disturb your workmates
50:52 <Lemon> ha this !
50:52 <Lemon> Im amazed that I woke up early today
50:52 <Lemon> ho and the car acted up on the way back
50:52 <Lemon> like 200km fuel left, 10 mins later, it was like, 1km down every 20 seconds
50:52 <Lemon> then 10km every 20 seconds :>>>>
50:52 <Ysjoelfir> oO
50:52 <Ysjoelfir> you should check for leaks :D
50:52 <Lemon> I had to stop at the first town, 5km left when I found a place xD
50:52 <Lemon> theres no leaks at all its just the fucking odb acting up
50:52 <Lemon> or the fuel gauge maybe
50:52 <rust_collector> odb?
50:52 <Lemon> board computer
50:52 <Lemon> sorry
50:52 <Lemon> ordinateur de bord :>
50:52 <rust_collector> does it have a normal fuel gauge?
50:52 <Lemon> yeah but it seems fucked too because it moves accordingly to the computer, so well idk which one's faulty
50:52 <rust_collector> what kind of ferd is this?
50:52 <Lemon> the night my father died, I was at my doctor's place, and the car did that too
50:52 <Lemon> when I got home, 0km left
50:52 <Lemon> the day after, 150 left
50:52 <Lemon> its a fusion, 90hp something diesel something
50:52 <Lemon> probably 12-14 y/o maybe
50:52 <Ysjoelfir> yesterday evening I was sitting in my chair, playing with the cube you gave me while watching a video. I actually managed to get one side done!
50:52 <rust_collector> I think they use a normal float on swinging arm sort of sensor... measure that.
50:52 <Lemon> hehe nice :P try to manage to do the white cross, with aligned centers !
50:52 <Lemon> theres no real methods for that, you have to figure it out :>
50:52 <Lemon> it can be done in under 8 moves I think xd usually I take 10-12
50:52 <Lemon> yeah rust I should care about this fucking car...
50:52 <Lemon> im french you know
50:52 <Lemon> we just let car die usually
50:52 <rust_collector> you can use an ancient meter, if you want. it is actually better for this stuff
50:52 <K> "it lives in a farm now"
50:52 <rust_collector> it is like a pot, you should just get more or less resistance, when you move the arm, with no dropouts on the way
50:52 <Ysjoelfir> Lunch break
50:52 <rust_collector> good night
50:52 <Ysjoelfir> thanks rusty
50:52 <Lemon> have a good meal !
50:52 <rust_collector> nap
50:52 <Lemon> (I want the cube done today !)
50:52 <Lemon> I think I'll remove my right screen
50:52 <Lemon> I'll be able to stack the counter and the scope
50:52 <Lemon> the scope/logic analyzer is the most complicated thing I ever saw in my life
50:52 <Lemon> the manual got like, 250 pages
50:59 <Ysjoelfir> This morning I found an "application note" that has more pages... ^^
51:02 <Ysjoelfir> https://doc.xdevs.com/doc/_Metrology/Print%20Ver.%20-%20Current_Sources_and_V%20_Refs.pdf
51:19 <Ysjoelfir> And I decided against napping :/ My stomach was victorious
51:28 <Lemon> hah interesting !
51:39 <Lemon> solve the cube ! lemme give you the best website wait
52:01 <Ysjoelfir> I don't have it with me, sadly :( And i was very dissappointed by my meal :X Had Dim Sum. At least that was written on the packet
52:27 <Ysjoelfir> It looked and smelled like old wet grass, leaves and stuff...
52:34 <Lemon> ho I dont know what is it ! hah alright :> keep that somewhere https://www.cubeskills.com/
52:43 <Lemon> ha shiet yes
52:45 <Ysjoelfir> the taste was more or less ok, but the smell absolutely disgusted me so I had problems eating that
52:46 <Lemon> not great !
52:51 <coppice_> current sources are an illusion
53:04 <Ysjoelfir> true
53:24 <Lemon> https://www.cubeskills.com/tutorials/the-beginners-method-for-solving-the-rubiks-cube
53:50 <coppice_> Ysjoelfir: are you sure you ate the dim sum and not the packaging?
53:56 <Lemon> once you learn this one (really easy honestly) you can start to learn some pll/oll algorithm like one or twice a day :>
54:14 <Ysjoelfir> I'll try that this evening lemon :) thanks!
54:25 <Ysjoelfir> coppice_: not that you mention it...
54:43 <Lemon> you're welcome ! your cube is a little magic M, and magnets areeeee I think
54:50 <Lemon> 4x2mm n35, if im right
54:51 <Ysjoelfir> I always thought that dim sum looks like dumplings. usually served with rice and some nice, big chunks of veggies in a hot broth
55:15 <Lemon> those cubes are really impressive honestly, they require some work but they are dope, and easily beats high end ones
55:44 <Lemon> whats funny is that the rubiks og brand makes the worst cubes xd
55:53 <Lemon> its a big meme in the hobby
55:55 <Ysjoelfir> I actually realy enjoyed playing with it since it is so smooth compared to the ones I have hold in my hands before
56:17 <Lemon> yeah ! and you can misalign it by like 45 degrees, force a bit and it will cut :>
56:31 <coppice_> The machines for solving rubriks cubes are impressive in how gently the handle the cube. They turn the blocks so fast it looks like they'll rip the thing apart
56:31 <Lemon> reverse is like 15-20 degrees, which is pretty nice
56:46 <Lemon> ho you can go rough on 3x3 honestly
56:56 <Lemon> we call it a 'pop' when pieces fly
56:59 <Lemon> but its rare nowadays
57:09 <Lemon> it happens on bigger ones like 6x6/7x7, and even then its rare
58:00 * K spanks Ysjoelfir for pasting that book pdf
58:09 <K> i have to work today, you knwo
58:17 <Ysjoelfir> xD
58:33 <Lemon> also if you want a fun one or maybe for your GF, you can get a pyraminx !
58:41 <Lemon> you can solve those without any methods :>
58:56 <Lemon> and 2x2 are actually not that easy
58:59 <Lemon> x)
59:46 <coppice_> Mathematicians have the best solution for a rubiks cube. They observe the block, declare a solution is possible, and move on
59:47 <Lemon> the key is to learn some finger tricks, to turn layers more efficiently, easy ones are learnt quick and it helps quite a bit
59:55 <Lemon> you cant do those on og rubiks as its too stiff
00:01 <Lemon> haha yes
00:12 <Lemon> I think any state can be solved in under 20 moves
00:23 <Lemon> but usually best players do like, triple or quadruple that
00:32 <Lemon> sometimes less when theres a 'skip'
00:43 <Lemon> its pretty rare but damn you are happy when it happens
01:44 <Lemon> another fun official puzzle that is funny but might be removed, is the clock
02:16 <Lemon> theres 9 clocks on each side, you get 4 wheels to turn them and 4 buttons, all of them must show 12 o clock
02:19 <rust_collector> I think the fun thing, is to peel off and swap 2 of the stickers on the cube
02:32 <Lemon> heh yeah as long as it isnt a stickerless :>
02:38 <Lemon> or twist a corner
02:52 <Lemon> you can make it unsolvable
03:03 <rust_collector> that is the best thing
03:05 <Lemon> because of what we call parity
03:44 <rust_collector> I don't care what you call it, I just want the thing to not work, so if anyone tries, he will be busy until he goes home
03:58 <coppice_> you've gotta hand it to people who study parity
04:00 <Lemon> just twist a corner then
04:05 <Lemon> most of the time it will fuck them up :>
04:10 <Lemon> unless they are decent at it
04:29 <Lemon> but you cant do it on og rubiks
04:33 <Lemon> as its not the same mechanism
05:28 <Lemon> what is weird with bigger nXn cubes is that centers can be moved
05:41 <Lemon> 3x3 centers are always the same
05:49 <Lemon> blue opposite of green, red opposite of orange etc
05:55 <rust_collector> that cubes exist at all is weird
05:59 <Lemon> but on 4x4 and + they can be mixed
08:04 <rust_collector> I wonder how many times mr boss has tried to call me, and how many messages I got from him this weekend
08:15 <Lemon> time to eat
09:06 <rust_collector> I am halfway done eating
09:35 <Ysjoelfir> I am halfway done convincing my stomach that the stuff I ate was actually edible
10:46 <rust_collector> styrofoam fish and soy sauce
11:36 <Ysjoelfir> No, there was no fish in it
11:54 <Ysjoelfir> just that grass-leaves-stuff
12:08 <rust_collector> what a weird idea
21:55 <Ampera> good morning
22:08 <Ysjoelfir> Hi Ampera
22:09 <Ampera> today is get up and do things for money day
22:19 <rust_collector> YYAAAAAAAYYY!!!
22:24 <Ysjoelfir> So its monday morning at your place?
23:09 <Ampera> mmm yes
23:19 <Ampera> and I leave for work in about 40-50 minutes
23:37 <Ysjoelfir> so you are around -7h from here I guess.
23:40 <hsn> gm Ampera
23:49 <Ampera> it's 07:23 right now
23:58 <Ampera> morning
24:02 <Ysjoelfir> then -6
24:14 <hsn> -8
24:19 <Ysjoelfir> no, -6
24:22 <Ampera> https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinetime-dev-kit
24:29 <hsn> u r -2
24:33 <Ampera> I bought one of these.
25:03 <Ysjoelfir> that sounds pretty cool when you know your way around embedded systems :)
25:05 <Ampera> really neat looking smartwatch devkit made by pine, looking to be my new best friends.
25:23 <Ampera> Best experience I have is with real mode C and Assembly.
25:37 <Ampera> I just bought it to play around with
25:48 <hsn> nice
26:50 <hsn> https://github.com/S-March/smarchWatch_PUBLIC
26:55 <Ampera> it can be programmed using a Pi's GPIO
27:41 <hsn> open ocd ?
29:06 <Ampera> aye
29:36 <hsn> cool
30:08 <Lemon> back
30:31 <Ampera> Hi Lemon, how was your German excursion
31:09 <Ysjoelfir> he successfully invaded germany. But I await reparations soon.
31:24 <Lemon> hey Ampera, it was really nice, the ride was alright beside the wind pushing my car and the few times the gps acted up, but meeting mamalala and Ysjoelfir was much fun !
31:49 <Lemon> and his GF ofc, really sweet too !
32:00 <Lemon> y'all got a wayyyy better english accent than me xDd
32:11 <Lemon> I just dont speak it enough
33:07 <Ampera> Maybe we'll have to say hi next time I'm in Germany.
33:17 <Ampera> though I might take a trip to the land down under first.
33:56 <Lemon> we need to do an irc meeting
34:07 <Ampera> might be a tad hard as we live all over the world
34:17 <coppice_> I assume that's a sexual reference, since no reasonable person wants to go to Australia
34:25 <Ampera> but Germany wouldn't be a terrible place to do it, as it's central to a quite numerous European audience.
34:36 <Ampera> coppice_, have you ever known me to be reasonable?
34:38 <Lemon> yeah I agree
35:14 <Ampera> I just blew 32 bucks on a watch that I can't wear, can't use, and don't know how to program.
35:22 <Ampera> that's not reasonable
35:42 <Lemon> pfff thats alright
35:52 <Lemon> I still have an og pebble around
36:51 <Ampera> I can use, operate, and gain out of a pebble, this watch has no OS on it, it can't physically fit on my wrist without prior gluing and assembly, and it's an early birds' special, meaning the software support is minimal
37:15 <Ampera> but by golly do I love side projects that go nowhere
37:16 <Ampera> q.q
37:31 <Lemon> I can understand that :>
38:58 <Ampera> I'd need to go hunting around for a reasonable RTOS to use on it, as my main concern is running out of RAM
39:23 <Ampera> I have a large quantity of NVRAM, which might ease the burden, but I have a Commodore 128 sitting right next to me with more RAM than this watch
39:38 <coppice_> Ampera: Then you'll love my new KickStarter project - the Cul De Sac
39:45 <Ampera> lol
39:49 <Lemon> :>
39:49 <Ysjoelfir> the what?
39:59 <Lemon> le cul d'sac :P
40:11 <Lemon> = a dead end
40:16 <Ysjoelfir> ah
46:46 <Ysjoelfir> I should prepare a presentation for the final... spoken exam of the bachelors thesis tomorrow
47:07 <Ysjoelfir> I just can't find anything I want to present oO I always feel like an idiot, showing powerpoint presentations
47:25 <rust_collector> do that without powerpoint
47:27 <Ysjoelfir> I way prefer to just stay there, having a few pictures to show and just talk and tell what I did
48:33 <rust_collector> here is the view out the window, see the birds over there? While those birds happened, I had some coffee, and played tetris
48:51 <Ysjoelfir> :D pretty much like that
49:00 <DHess_US> https://xkcd.com/1945/
50:31 <Ysjoelfir> thats exactly why I don't like powerpoint DHess_US!
50:37 <rust_collector> have a few slides that is all black, and says "no signal" in the middle
50:46 <Lemon> :>
50:47 <Ysjoelfir> lol :)
51:51 <rust_collector> windows has encountered a problem, you can repair windows by booting from a windows install cd
51:56 <hsn> thats awkward moment when u hit escape and it goes from full screen to normal ..
52:26 <Lemon> that moment when you hit escape and you actually quit life
52:54 <rust_collector> Uhm
53:00 <hsn> escape was ment to (escelate)
53:05 <rust_collector> when you hit escape, and fly out into space?
53:15 <Lemon> happens too sometimes yeah
54:12 <DHess_US> That moment when Windows doesn't finish booting.
54:25 <rust_collector> I wonder if it ever does?
54:40 <DHess_US> It did this morning. It didn't a couple days ago.
55:12 <rust_collector> are you really sure it is not still booting, way inside the system
55:31 <DHess_US> yes, I'm sure.
55:46 <DHess_US> Swapped a drive in my RAID this morning.
56:10 <DHess_US> Raid Set # 00 Ch02← ARC-1210-VOL#00 (0/0/0) Rebuilding(86.9%) 64.0GB
56:51 <Ampera> Oh boy Windows and RAID
57:06 <Lemon> a love story
57:08 <DHess_US> Real RAID though.
57:11 <Ampera> Almost as much of a pain in the ass as Linux and RAID
57:20 <Ysjoelfir> I like my win raid
57:23 <Ampera> That's at least something
57:53 <Ampera> ZFS is still the only software RAID solution I'd actually call easy
58:17 <Ampera> I like working with it, even if i completely don't know half of what it does
59:12 <Ysjoelfir> I like my hardware raid... it's fast and easy and the hot spares work great as I just noticed. but i should install the squeaker thing, maybe then I would have noticed that one drive failed
