01:34:12 <kona64> hey guys
01:34:16 <kona64> any1 around?
01:34:24 <rust_collector> I had a weird dream last night. I am not sure why, but we replaced the heart of a small dog, with one from some other small dog. then we put the old heart in the other dog. Anyway, it was a bit weird, because the "parts dog" kept working.
01:34:35 <rust_collector> hey. maybe?
01:34:45 <kona64> yeah that is kind of weird hahaha
01:35:10 <kona64> i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a simple versatyle easy-to-use 2-phase synchronous pwm controller
01:35:21 <kona64> for some DIY dc/dc buck converter
01:36:46 <rust_collector> hmm, I do not know a thing about that. I guess people should wake up pretty soon, it has been very quiet here today
01:43:56 <NeroTHz> woop woop ordered my first picturebook
01:44:42 <NeroTHz> cost a small fortune but I think it will be worth it
01:44:57 <rust_collector> https://www.amazon.com/First-Picture-Book-Fleurus-Images/dp/0765191857
01:45:05 <rust_collector> fortune... I dunno
01:45:14 <NeroTHz> hahaha :p
01:45:30 <NeroTHz> I meant ´picture book I made´
01:45:49 <T3sl4> kona64: not offhand, they also tend not to be as easy to use if they're versatile
01:45:53 <rust_collector> oh, you had your book printed?
01:45:53 <T3sl4> what are you shopping for
01:45:56 <NeroTHz> yes
01:46:21 <kona64> yeah makes sense T3
01:46:22 <rust_collector> cool, what sort of pics?
01:46:28 <NeroTHz> it´s not the best, because I figured out things as I went, and didn´t want to spend another 6 years redoing it, but now I know my next one will be better
01:46:35 <NeroTHz> African wildlife mostly
01:47:00 <kona64> the versatile modern ones have all them current balancing and complicated startup and etc... i just wanted something easy for breadboarding and stuff
01:48:23 <NeroTHz> pages are 33x28, I hope it´s not too big
01:48:55 <rust_collector> that makes sense for pics
01:49:31 <NeroTHz> and good photopaper
02:06:36 Quit: kona64 ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
02:07:39 <rust_collector> NeroTHz, any particular part of africa, or?
02:41:38 <NeroTHz> in this case, south africa (mostly capetown and sabisand) and zimbabwe (victoria falls area)
02:42:19 <rust_collector> ok. I just mean, there are a lot pf different places in africa
02:42:26 <NeroTHz> yeah, I know :p
02:42:59 <rust_collector> as long as we do not mention that africa is almost the same size as texas, it will be ok
02:43:19 <NeroTHz> wat
02:43:29 <NeroTHz> texas is way smaller
02:43:32 <rust_collector> ssssh!
02:43:48 <NeroTHz> okay I must be missing some kind of reference here lol
02:43:59 <rust_collector> don't say that. . . let them believe
02:44:19 <rust_collector> texas is always bigger, you know that
03:08:49 * electrohead peeks in
03:08:55 <electrohead> https://othernet.is/
03:09:02 <electrohead> anyone in here, into this at all?
03:09:54 <rust_collector> maybe try lord of thatthing
03:10:03 <rust_collector> Lord_of_nothing, ??
03:10:42 <rust_collector> he does something radio something thing
04:05:32 <electrohead> lol, ok
04:06:05 <electrohead> I've come across othernet before, and I have a few spare bucks I could shell out for some new hardware to play with
04:06:17 <electrohead> not much, but enough haha
04:15:16 <rust_collector> todays big project was soldering the lead to a croc clip. I should get some better wire for this, but...
04:15:32 <rust_collector> so, that is done. maybe I will make pizza

15:00:06 <steve30> hi
15:04:01 <Halcyon> Hey Steve
15:10:42 <steve30> *hugs*
15:17:47 <Halcyon> How did you sleep?
15:19:10 <steve30> good
15:20:33 * steve30 has felt depressed recently
15:22:31 <Halcyon> Aww
15:22:32 <Halcyon> *cuddles*
15:23:06 <hsn> good morning to all frns
15:23:55 <Halcyon> Morning hsn
15:24:09 <hsn> how is ur life going Halcyon
15:24:18 <Halcyon> Meh
15:24:22 <Halcyon> Could be better
15:24:32 <hsn> it always can be better isnt it :P
15:25:15 <Halcyon> Eh, work just sucks at the moment
15:25:44 <Halcyon> I put in over a years worth of effort on a project only to be crapped on by management.
15:25:54 <Halcyon> No doubt they will use everything I developed for them though.
15:26:28 <hsn> hmm! software stuff u working on mostly ?
15:26:35 <Halcyon> No, not exactly
15:26:43 <hsn> servers / os related ?
15:27:04 <Halcyon> But anyway, my immediate supervisor is a complete fuckwit to put it politely and I refuse to work under him any longer, so I basically told him to get stuffed last week.
15:27:32 <Halcyon> I've requested to move into a different unit. I won't work for anyone who doesn't appreciate his stuff. Let it blow up in his face.
15:27:39 <Halcyon> *staff
15:27:39 <hsn> stuffed = cock inside him right ?
15:28:01 <Halcyon> Oh gawd no. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.
15:28:58 <hsn> informal. —used as an angry and rude way to tell someone to go away or to leave one alone
15:29:09 <hsn> lol i though stuffed = stuff inside him xD
15:29:21 <Halcyon> No it's a nice way of saying "get fucked"
15:29:22 <hsn> like food
15:29:58 <hsn> cool .. do they usually consider moving u easily to other unit ?
15:30:07 <Halcyon> Generally yes
15:30:32 <Halcyon> But I work for an organisation where they want everything, but don't put the time or effort into making their staff happy... then complain when they decide to leave.
15:30:52 <Halcyon> It's completely the opposite of how you would run a privately owned company
15:30:59 <hsn> believe me it always can be worse :D
15:31:09 <Halcyon> If you pulled this kind of shit in the private sector, you'd go broke.
15:31:35 <hsn> hmmm not in here i think
15:32:04 <hsn> the company i previously worked in and left
15:32:31 <hsn> is worse than the one im working now on .. somtimes they dont pay their staff for 5 months or somthing
15:32:49 <Halcyon> Oh gawd, that is unheard of here
15:33:15 <hsn> well by law they should be forced to pay but the goverment employees are just SHIT
15:33:24 <hsn> they dont know a thing ..
15:33:41 * steve30 curls up on Halcyon's lap
15:33:47 <hsn> so its like goverment is either in weak position or these companies just do what they want to do
15:46:07 <steve30> My Raspberry Pi PBX has reached 53 days uptime :)

19:15:26 <Halcyon> Brrr it's cold out
19:15:28 <Halcyon> And wet
19:15:34 * Halcyon prods steve30
19:15:41 <steve30> o/
19:17:28 * steve30 gives Halcyon a warming cuddle
19:17:35 <Halcyon> :D
19:18:12 <Halcyon> Someone needs to invent a LiPo powered electric blanket
19:18:17 * Halcyon pokes T3sl4
19:19:08 <steve30> i just made buns
19:19:12 * T3sl4 robes Halcyon in strontium-90
19:19:19 <Halcyon> Mmmm glowy
19:19:29 <T3sl4> warming glowing warming glow
19:19:39 <Halcyon> That's an old throwback
19:19:47 <T3sl4> urge to kill, rising
19:20:02 <Halcyon> But yes, a leccy blanket with a battery
19:20:24 <T3sl4> i mean, you're welcome to grab a pack, inverter and blanket, and do that
19:20:36 <Halcyon> Why can't you do it with 12v or less?
19:20:40 <T3sl4> rather roundabout way to do it though
19:20:41 <Halcyon> Car window demisters can
19:20:59 <T3sl4> i'll let you rewind a blanket for 12V :P
19:21:00 <Halcyon> Surely a blanket that lasts a few hours isn't too much to ask for?
19:21:35 <T3sl4> a few hours is about all you'd get from a not monstrous sized pack, yeah
19:21:58 <Halcyon> Enough to last a movie or to doze off the couch would be acceptable I think?
19:22:09 <steve30> Halcyon, is Mark warm and cosy/
19:22:09 <steve30> ?
19:22:23 <Halcyon> No, he is skinny and cold
19:22:30 <T3sl4> ohhh snap
19:22:36 <Halcyon> ;)
19:22:41 <steve30> :(
19:22:51 <Halcyon> He uses me for heat (shutup T3sl4)
19:23:01 <Halcyon> I am naturally warm all the time.
19:23:13 <T3sl4> you bear ;)
19:23:21 <Halcyon> I'm not hairy :P
19:23:58 <Halcyon> Or even a USB C powered blanket :P
19:24:02 <T3sl4> https://i.imgur.com/cK9rbJP.jpg
19:24:04 <Halcyon> Plug it into a power bank
19:24:05 <rust_collector> could you make a couch out of this thing? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-leaf-Lithium-ion-Battery-Pack-lithium-very-good-solar-or-swap-upgrade/303411896017?hash=item46a4c21ed1:g:Rh4AAOSw2gpcia7H
19:24:16 <Halcyon> Fuck you T3sl4
19:24:28 <T3sl4> dinner first
19:24:46 <Halcyon> rust_collector: What worries me is the condition is "good"
19:24:56 <T3sl4> rust_collector: sure, could make a fusion reactor out of that thing too
19:24:58 <Halcyon> Those things are over $30k to replace here
19:25:37 <rust_collector> how good do you need it to be, if you use it for a blanket, in pretty much what is summer?
19:25:55 <Halcyon> It's not summer here :P
19:26:01 <rust_collector> close enough
19:26:04 <Halcyon> I had to scrape the ice off the car the other morning
19:26:11 <rust_collector> oh no!
19:26:13 <Halcyon> And by scrape, I sad in the driveway with the seat heaters on :P
19:26:14 <steve30> Halcyon, I got a message from someone on Recon who wants to "puss" all over me. I'm trying to ascertain whether he wants to cover me in cuddly pussycats, or whether he has some sort of infection and wants to deposit the puss from that on me.
19:26:18 <Halcyon> *sat
19:26:20 <rust_collector> ice age is coming
19:26:33 <T3sl4> steve30, why not both?
19:26:38 <Halcyon> That's odd steve30
19:26:44 <rust_collector> infected kittens
19:26:47 <Halcyon> Can you clarify with him? :P
19:27:01 <T3sl4> Halcyon, if it's clear it's plasma not puss
19:27:01 <steve30> If its the latter, eww
19:27:14 <steve30> If its the former, yay kitties :)
19:27:20 <Halcyon> Maybe he is trans but has a yeast infection ?
19:27:26 <Halcyon> I think it's important to know
19:28:04 <Halcyon> I want my electric blanket to come with him: https://www.harveynorman.com.au/sunbeam-bl5141-sleep-perfect-double-bed-fitted-heated-blanket.html

19:33:24 <Halcyon> It fascinates the hell out of me.
19:33:42 <T3sl4> it's so weird living in a first world country, isn't it
19:34:08 <Halcyon> I mean we have frozen food and such, but it's slim pickings if you're after fake meat and hooves and eyelids.
19:34:31 * T3sl4 knits Halcyon a blanket of chitlins
19:34:33 <Halcyon> The closest we have are microwave burgers
19:34:41 <steve30> fake meat?
19:34:52 <Halcyon> I had to google that T3sl4
19:35:02 <T3sl4> hah
19:35:12 <Halcyon> Steve: Like 10% meat, the rest, the hearts, livers, and meat glue
19:35:23 <steve30> We have things like "meat free chicken pieces"
19:35:30 <Halcyon> Oh yeh we have that vegan shit here too
19:35:36 <Halcyon> Some of it is actually not too bad.
19:35:48 <Halcyon> I'm talking about meat sold as meat
19:35:48 <T3sl4> the real fake meat, the vegan stuff, is getting awfully good nowadays tbh

20:54:45 <hsn> i dont know how to understand a kernel code written to switch threads ..
20:55:03 <hsn> or how processor works :)
20:55:16 <hsn> or .. idk .. im just hurt ok ? :D
20:55:35 <rust_collector> hahahaaaaa....sufferrrrr
20:56:08 <hsn> well i got a cpu cooling fan blowing to my head
20:56:13 <hsn> surly im suffering
20:56:26 <rust_collector> good good
20:57:09 <hsn> https://photos.app.goo.gl/KSWWQuPfY4qEgM9x8
20:58:08 <hsn> so what managment did when their central AC went off ..
20:58:38 <rust_collector> tore apart the stash of old desktops, it looks like, lol
20:58:39 <hsn> they took our AC spare parts .. and order somthing from china
20:59:11 <rust_collector> ok, so maybe it works, around christmas?
20:59:20 <hsn> maybe hahah
20:59:29 <hsn> it has been more than 2 weeks
20:59:43 <hsn> but today i think my boss is irretated
20:59:46 <hsn> xD
20:59:49 <rust_collector> eeh, just 3 more weeks.
20:59:57 <coppice> so, it will be nice and cool for Christmas
21:00:16 <rust_collector> not that anyone christmases there, but
21:00:25 <hsn> well .. in november it start to be ok without AC
21:00:35 <hsn> in december usually u can live without it
21:00:40 <rust_collector> well, then there is no problem
21:03:12 <rust_collector> they can wait until next years budget to fix that ac. that is awesome
21:04:49 <hsn> nah
21:05:01 <hsn> better to keep it for 1 more year
21:05:08 <hsn> why waste money on us?

21:24:18 <coppice> hsn: fair enough. humans have a more general entertainment potential than just laughter
21:25:33 <hsn> agreed
21:26:10 <hsn> is walking on solar panel is generally good idea even if the manufacturer said its ok ? i dont imagine it would be ok ..
21:26:22 <hsn> with all these small components getting the stress!
21:26:46 <rust_collector> sure, you should drive a bus on them
21:26:55 <coppice> most panels don't have small components, but silicon slices are very brittle
21:28:08 <hsn> components = these small traces connecting and stacking pv cells
21:28:52 <hsn> so these companies who claim u can walk on their panel .. they lie generally ? unless ofc its solar freakin roadway?
21:29:34 <hsn> i mean yeah the upper transperent layer wont break but these silicon brittle would affect the effieciency i guess?
21:29:59 <coppice> dunno. manufacturers have videos of people driving pickup trucks over their panels, but when you look at the panels they don't look all that robust
21:32:54 <hsn> i wonder if these manufacturers who claim to have robust solar panels give performance warranty over long period of time

21:34:17 <coppice> hsn: once the panels are on a roof their biggest risk is point impact, and they don't guarantee against that, glass is really bad at point impact tolerance
21:36:14 <hsn> coppice, how do u define point impact ? is it hammer or foot ? or its somthing else ?
21:37:43 <rust_collector> something with a sharp corner, like your foot?
21:38:02 <coppice> a foot is quite broad. Its things like stones that seem to have caused most of the broken panels I've seen pictures of
21:38:31 <rust_collector> I bet every manufacturer has its own definition anyway
21:38:43 <rust_collector> broad and soft
21:40:52 <coppice> it takes the toe of steel toed boot to get any serious impact from a foot
21:42:12 <hsn> hmm, what if i played in the sand .. and then came walking on solar
21:42:33 <hsn> ah .. nvm its stupid question xD
21:42:58 <coppice> you play in finely broken glass?
21:43:00 <rust_collector> why would you do that?
21:43:46 <hsn> rust_collector, from where im .. there is lots of sand
21:43:51 <hsn> :D
21:44:13 <hsn> i just imagine these "finely broken glass" would hurt the solar
21:44:18 <hsn> panels
21:44:24 <electrohead> o/
21:44:43 <rust_collector> yes, but why do you want solar panels laying around on the ground? Is this to power something useful, or to charge a nokia?
21:45:41 <hsn> power somthing usefull .. and its on roof
21:45:59 <rust_collector> right...
21:46:03 <hsn> but the roof will cary the sand :D its not mountain of sands but for sure the shoes will have some sands
21:46:40 <hsn> rusty u can see the sand in the sky? https://snipboard.io/JNgEVj.jpg
21:46:45 <hsn> xD
21:46:55 <coppice> rust_collector: I guess he doesn't want to have to get onto the roof just to walk on his panels
21:46:56 <rust_collector> sure, but why do you insist on walking on the panels?
21:47:04 <rust_collector> right
21:47:42 <hsn> rust_collector, im really not .. i was telling someone you shouldnt and he said that the installation guy told him its ok to walk on them ..
21:47:58 <rust_collector> yes, and that means he has to?
21:48:10 <hsn> according to him, yes xD
21:48:22 <electrohead> maybe to clean them? lol
21:48:25 <hsn> for him,, ah its fine ..
21:48:40 <hsn> the guy told me its fine = its fine
21:48:46 <rust_collector> microfiber slippers...
21:49:03 <electrohead> there you go
21:49:09 <electrohead> and just slide across them, haha
21:49:14 <rust_collector> yep
21:49:22 <Watcher> why will you clean that. you have selfcleaning panles
21:49:30 <Watcher> panles = panels
21:49:33 <rust_collector> they don't do rain
21:49:48 <hsn> https://snipboard.io/z5kYLq.jpg
21:49:51 <electrohead> mini robots to wipe everything down
21:50:56 <hsn> lets see what the dust will do to these solars
21:51:25 <rust_collector> I remember ikea coffee mugs were tested by putting a volvo station wagon on them, but I still do not see why most people would do that
21:51:28 <Watcher> there are company's that will clean the panels with rc robots
21:52:19 <hsn> https://youtu.be/GdH8zRuOJEM
21:53:51 <hsn> this is much cooler https://youtu.be/3b2bnYbkxq0
21:55:22 <Watcher> and much faster

21:59:42 <hsn> lol thanks god i'll be dead by then
22:00:32 <rust_collector> nope, you will be kept alive, so you can pay more taxes
22:01:13 <rust_collector> you have to be at least 126 years old, before they disconnect you
22:01:47 <hsn> what if i dont pay .. will they disconnect ?
22:01:57 <rust_collector> no
22:02:01 <hsn> or pulsating me .. ?

22:57:08 <Lemon> hi boiiiisss
22:57:54 <rust_collector> hwy
22:58:04 <rust_collector> or sometnk
22:58:25 <Lemon> im happy
22:58:31 <Lemon> I won a nice auction
22:58:33 <rust_collector> eh, good for you
22:58:34 <Lemon> and you rusty are you happy ?
22:58:56 <rust_collector> more or less
22:59:27 <rust_collector> I am thinking about stamping sheet metal parts
22:59:36 <rust_collector> it makes me sort of happy-ish
22:59:40 <Lemon> stamp all the things rusty !
22:59:59 <Lemon> I paid 62 euros for 3 booklets I was missing valued at a total of 720 euros
23:00:07 <rust_collector> heh
23:00:14 <rust_collector> well, that is great
23:00:30 <Lemon> now I have every red cross booklets, besides the 1915 one that cost a ton
23:00:37 <Lemon> minimum 800 euros
23:00:48 <rust_collector> well, you know you need it
23:00:54 <Lemon> yeah but im broke
23:02:17 <Lemon> a few days ago I also bought the number 2 booklet (valued at 550 euros) for 65 delivered
23:02:22 <Lemon> quite the deal too !
23:03:35 <Lemon> I got tons of things to come
23:03:41 <Lemon> but I spent a tad too much, I need to sell things now
23:04:05 <hsn> can u resell them with 500 ?
23:04:26 <Lemon> maybe one day :P but not currently :>
23:04:40 <hsn> i mean would they be easily sold ?
23:04:45 <hsn> if u want to ?
23:04:46 <Lemon> the 65 euros one could go for a bit under 200, which is neat
23:04:49 <rust_collector> get all of them
23:04:50 <Lemon> ha yes ofc
23:05:05 <hsn> teach me so i get my wife into this business xD
23:05:12 <hsn> buy auction and sell
23:05:20 <rust_collector> buy cheap, sell
23:05:22 <Lemon> haha well, just learn a subject, hunt for nice deals :>
23:05:31 <hsn> ah she wont
23:05:48 <Lemon> you have to now how to check the quality etc
23:05:55 <hsn> she wants money with less effort than "learn"
23:06:32 <rust_collector> well, she can marry some sports guy, then get half when they divorce... that does not take much effort
23:06:35 <hsn> so does the guy who sold this auction doesnt know the real price ?
23:06:50 <Lemon> well I made an offer, and strangely enough he accepted
23:06:55 <hsn> rust_collector, no she marry me fat guy .. xD
23:07:01 <Lemon> and sometimes no one bid
23:07:12 <Lemon> and yes it happens, peeps doesnt know what they sell but thats rare
23:07:16 <rust_collector> that should have thought her to do a bit of research first, lol
23:07:32 <Lemon> im eyeing a nice number 156 I dont have, new never hinged, he wants 30 euros for it, cat value at 300
23:07:34 <hsn> rust_collector, im not bad person :D
23:07:42 <Lemon> it easily sells for 70 to 100 euros in that quality
23:08:09 <Lemon> but I dont buy things to sell them, its for my personnal collection :> its just nice to know that one day if I need it I can get my money back, or even more
23:08:37 <rust_collector> you would probably get more for a complete collection, no?
23:08:45 <Lemon> that depends
23:08:49 <Lemon> but its possible yes
23:09:10 <Lemon> im building a french red cross collection, from 1914 to 2001, with first day covers, stamps booklets, rare stuff documents etc
23:09:19 <rust_collector> we know
23:10:28 <Lemon> I will write a document myself I think
23:10:35 <Lemon> to help other peeps collecting it
23:12:29 <Lemon> it will take a long time but im sure I can build a nice thing, and exhibit it
23:12:40 <Lemon> I already have quite a lotta things, nothing fancy yet
23:14:10 <rust_collector> maybe you need an old ambulance, with display boxes in the back
23:16:11 <rust_collector> butt...
23:16:26 <rust_collector> other than stamp things, what has happened down there?
