02:46:33 <Nothing\> hey hey
02:46:44 <Nothing\> heh i'm listening to a live stream of uvb-76
02:46:45 * T3sl4 hugs Nothing\ <3
02:46:55 <rust_collector> the what?
02:47:00 <Nothing\> it's weird, you can hear morse code faintly in the background from time to time
02:47:08 * Nothing\ hugs T3sl4 <3
02:47:40 <Nothing\> rust_collector, it's a russian based short wave radio station that since the 70s has been broadcasting nothing but a buzzing sound every second or so
02:48:04 <Nothing\> and every few years a recording will play listing a bunch of numbers and names (representing letters)
02:48:21 <Nothing\> but the weird thing is, instead of having the buzzing play directly from the transmitter
02:48:43 <Nothing\> it's being played from a separate recording they just put a microphone in front of and are broadcasting that
02:48:57 <Nothing\> so you can sometimes hear noises in the room, like the morse code, or people talking
02:49:14 <Nothing\> one of those internet mysteries blown out of proportions
02:49:23 <T3sl4> well that's not very hi fidelity of them
02:49:43 <Nothing\> it really isn't
02:49:45 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LegzZZRIqj4&ab_channel=TheSWLChannel
02:49:59 <Nothing\> it's a nice stream cuz there's an FFT waterfall display of it too
02:50:08 <Nothing\> but it's only SD so you can't see any real detail in it
02:50:22 <Nothing\> bout ready to do my own fft on it from my own microphone lol
02:51:10 <Nothing\> it really is an interesting story though, there are all sorts of different stations like this. called "buzzer stations"
02:51:42 <Nothing\> i'd really like to get into HAM or shortwave
02:51:56 <Nothing\> my brother used to have a shortwave receiver
02:52:05 <Nothing\> it used to creep me out listening to it
02:52:20 <Nothing\> you'd hear all sorts of creepy sounds
02:52:46 <Nothing\> hell, i should buy one. they can't be THAT much
02:53:17 <rust_collector> I believe they start cheap, and go up and up and up and up
02:53:29 <Nothing\> i swear i can hear a person's voice or a radio or something in the background of that stream
02:53:56 <rust_collector> is that pirate radio, when you broadcast the sounds from a different radio?
02:54:53 <Nothing\> some of it is
02:55:06 <Nothing\> but yeah usually it's privately operated
02:56:00 <Nothing\> like ham radio type stuff
02:56:13 <Nothing\> they were like chatrooms before the internet
02:56:28 <Nothing\> people would go on these radios and talk to one another across the globe
02:57:03 <rust_collector> ok. well, I should go and finish installing my bedroom window
02:57:16 <Nothing\> oh, good news
02:57:20 <Nothing\> i'm regular!
02:57:47 <rust_collector> every week!
02:58:06 <Nothing\> last 2 days in a row i've had proper type 3 poops
02:58:14 <T3sl4> ha
02:58:15 <Nothing\> i haven't had a type 3 poop in years
02:58:33 <Nothing\> almost always type 1 or what i dub type 0
02:58:50 <Nothing\> which is where multiple type 1s get compacted together and fuse into one gigantic megaturd
02:59:04 <T3sl4> 1 is kinda marbles, isnt it?
02:59:08 <Nothing\> yup
02:59:18 <Nothing\> haha you actually know about the bristol stool chart?
02:59:21 <T3sl4> 3 is... one blob, kinda sticky?
02:59:34 <T3sl4> no one can accuse me of not knowing shit
03:00:06 <Nothing\> nah 3 is more normal consistancy, described as... sausage shaped with cracks in the surface
03:00:36 <Nothing\> and 4 is more flat like a "snake" as it describes it
03:00:37 <Nothing\> lol
03:00:56 <rust_collector> flat like a snake...
03:01:02 <Nothing\> i lost my shit when i learned of the bristol stool scale
03:01:10 <rust_collector> mmhmm
03:01:11 <Nothing\> rust_collector, lol the surface
03:01:17 <Nothing\> not the shape of it
03:20:41 <Nothing\> huh
03:20:54 <Nothing\> i'm just going through the documentation in the windows 10 command line
03:21:06 <Nothing\> it has 2 different commands to create a directory
03:21:21 <Nothing\> there's "md" and then the classic "mkdir"
03:21:34 <Nothing\> both have the exact same description
03:23:33 <Nothing\> even the help files are the same
03:23:43 <T3sl4> yeah, that's old, like CP/M old
03:25:55 <Nothing\> huh, yeah i've heard of mkdir, but never md
03:26:22 <Nothing\> and what the hell is a "command extension"?
03:28:04 <T3sl4> https://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php?topic=13988.0
03:28:21 <T3sl4> mmm, these beans are good, think i'll have another serving
03:28:32 <T3sl4> i'm going to be irregular tomorrow!
03:28:39 <T3sl4> but regularly farting >:)
03:29:32 <Nothing\> i need all the regularity i can get
03:29:58 <Nothing\> although, despite my being more regular. whenever i do have to go, i get incredibly painful cramps
03:30:28 <Nothing\> i dunno why bowel cramps have to be literally one of the top 10 most painful things in my life
03:31:25 <Nothing\> ACK!
03:31:47 <Nothing\> or why about 50% o,f the time i drink something, it goes down my windpipe and i choke on it cuz i can't swallow it properly
03:32:11 <Nothing\> gonna end up getting aspiration pneumonia
03:32:47 <Nothing\> it would be kinda apropos since that's what did my grandfather in
03:35:29 <T3sl4> humans are proof that creationism is dead... or god is one lazy fuck
03:36:22 <T3sl4> numerous design issues, i want to talk to the manager
03:36:54 <Nothing\> T3sl4, you everwatch the channel "medlife crisis"?
03:37:05 <T3sl4> dont think so
03:40:05 <Nothing\> it's a good channel, done by a cardiologist in between calls on his pager usually. but he talks about this one nerve, or maybe it was a blood vessel, the glossopharyngeal i believe. and how it's good evidence against creationism because the path it takes is something like, it starts at your brain, goes down through your thorax, then loops around your aorta and on to whatever it innervates
03:40:20 <Nothing\> instead of just taking the direct root without having to wrap around the aorta
03:40:50 <Nothing\> or without having to go several feet into the thorax and then loop back up
03:41:00 <Nothing\> i dunno, he explains it far better
03:41:01 <T3sl4> heh yeah
03:41:22 <Nothing\> but there's stuff like that people cite against creationism
03:41:40 <T3sl4> it's not horrible in humans, but it tracks with neck length, and it's ridiculous in giraffes
03:42:06 <Nothing\> but i'm more of the mindset that god doesn't create life like that, he more sets out the rules of universe and then puts it all into motion and lets whatever will happen, happen
03:42:32 <Nothing\> to a degree, mind you i'm still incredibly confuse about it. as any human who isn't in denial is
03:43:21 <Nothing\> any human who claims to know god, his specific intentions or understand him in any way needs to go sit on the toilet. cuz they're full of shit.
03:43:54 <Nothing\> and my "know god" i mean know his nature, not know him as in like you know a friend or acquaintance
03:44:01 <Nothing\> *by
03:44:28 <Nothing\> i don't believe humans have the capacity to understand god or his intentions
03:44:51 <Nothing\> and i use his as a pronoun of convenience. i really don't think he has a gender.
03:46:20 <T3sl4> some time ago, i would've said: i believe god is an engineer: eternally lazy, but also smart. how do you make life? easy, make a universe that has certain stability properties, and which supports interactions complex enough for evolution to develop
03:46:25 <Nothing\> that's the thing that gets me about most atheists, is they seem to base their belief, or lack there of, on the abrahamic religions of christianity and judaism and such
03:46:38 <T3sl4> set it in motion, pop, there's a universe, and let it go
03:46:43 <Nothing\> they believe the bible represents god's intentions and nature
03:47:26 <Nothing\> once i learned you need not connect the two and start exploring god outside of christianity, it was a lot easier to believe in such an entity
03:47:47 <T3sl4> these days not only do i not find any explanatory value in the concept of god, but i've also seen it has toxic effects on people, all the more reason to distance myself from it, as a moral person
03:48:36 <Nothing\> what makes you think it's toxic? just the false information leading one down a rabbit hole that goes nowhere?
03:48:59 <Nothing\> and the way it spreads, aggressively in some cases
03:49:17 <Nothing\> or how some use it to take advantage of others
03:49:25 <T3sl4> Nothing\: yeah, the jain conception of what fits for god/afterlife is pretty reasonable, it's specifically ambiguous and unknowable
03:50:01 <T3sl4> (i'm sure i'm misrepresenting that, not exactly being a scholar of that myself, but just broadly speaking)
03:50:03 <Nothing\> that's mostly my view on god, ambiguity and unknowing
03:50:13 <Nothing\> right
03:50:30 <Nothing\> but like i said, i don't believe a human is capable of understanding god
03:50:50 <T3sl4> the best explanation i ever saw about it is here actually: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ-vHE5CrGaL_ITEg-n3OeA
03:50:53 <Nothing\> it's like when i was a kid thinking about cigarettes
03:52:03 <Nothing\> i always thought people smoked cigarettes because it was just something to do. sort of like an amusement or something. and they could puff on it in a variety of ways, they could breathe in but not inhale, they could inhale, or they could breathe out through the cigarette and make the cherry glow red
03:52:19 <Nothing\> cuz i hadn't the slightest clue what addiction was
03:52:42 <Nothing\> likewise i couldn't understand why anyone would do drug when they're so bad for it
03:52:52 <Nothing\> *for you
03:53:09 <Nothing\> addiction was just something i couldn't fathom as a child
03:53:37 <Nothing\> frankly i don't think a person can fathom addiction without experiencing it first hand anyways, but that's beside the point
03:53:44 <T3sl4> tl;dr if god exists, and it created us, then, eipicurus' trilemma; the most disturbing and inescapable conclusion from which, god subjects us to bad situations to gaslight and abuse us; in short, god is a narcissist
03:54:52 <Nothing\> T3sl4, i've always believed the world isn't real since i was a kid. so the closes i have to an explaination for what god is is that god's whomever created this simulation or whatever it is we live in
03:55:03 <Nothing\> he made the rules the govern it and so on
03:55:29 <Nothing\> i don't believe prayer works though
03:55:47 <Nothing\> in fact, i think a la christianity, prayer might even be blasphemous
03:55:58 <Nothing\> cuz think about it, god has his grand plan, right?
03:56:15 <T3sl4> i also don't find that idea (simulation) useful; it's redundant
03:56:19 <Nothing\> and when you pray to him and ask for something

03:56:37 <T3sl4> (not to mention unprovable, but we're already talking about the metaphysical here so that's assumed)
03:56:41 <Nothing\> say you're financially struggling and you pray for help with that, right
03:57:05 <Nothing\> but what if god's plan was to put you through a rough point so you could grow as a person, or at least learn something
03:57:36 <Nothing\> you're basically telling god "hey, listen i know you've got this great plan in place and everything. but i know better than you, so can you do this instead?"
03:57:46 <Nothing\> like you're implying you know better
03:58:16 <Nothing\> plus, according to christians, god already knows what's best for us and what we need
03:58:29 <Nothing\> and is always working towards that
03:58:39 <T3sl4> but see, that's already problematic: it's a thought process dependent upon, and reinforcing of, the idea of god as the dominating nacissist
03:58:51 Quit: electrohead ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
03:58:53 <Nothing\> if you ask him for something that would hinder that. that's pretty blasphemous imo
03:59:11 <Nothing\> T3sl4, well that's the old testament god
03:59:32 <Nothing\> after christ, god takes on a much softer and more understanding demeanor
03:59:39 <T3sl4> it's also the new testament god, if not necessarily according to jesus' word as recorded, then what his followers built
03:59:52 <Nothing\> ah
04:00:13 <Nothing\> i don't think i've read much past the new testament
04:00:19 <Nothing\> or really much of the bible
04:01:00 <Nothing\> i've read genesis and like half of exodus, matthew which i'm actually rather fond of cuz it gives you a glimpse into how they lived back then
04:01:14 <Nothing\> i've read most of psalms
04:01:21 <T3sl4> the new testament was laid down in 100AD or so, already some generations after jesus, but further it's been sorted from apocrypha, 1st council of nicaea for example
04:01:25 <Nothing\> half of revelations, of course
04:01:39 Join: electrohead ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
04:01:59 <Nothing\> T3sl4, that's not surprising if it's been so long
04:02:06 <Nothing\> like a game of teleophen
04:02:25 Quit: sarge55 ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
04:02:39 <T3sl4> even neverminding that, the whole concept of "the word of god" being "inspired into the human hand" is obvious BS
04:03:33 <Nothing\> yeah definitely
04:03:41 <Nothing\> brb fud
04:03:45 <T3sl4> mmm, food
04:04:14 <rust_collector> bompilompilomp
04:05:31 * T3sl4 pours beans on rust_collector
04:05:54 <rust_collector> BEANS!!!!
04:13:23 <Nothing\> oooh found a biochem textbook in these textbooks my cousin gave me
04:13:53 <Nothing\> lol it's sad that having a PhD in the family feels like having a minor celebrity in the family or something
04:14:15 <Nothing\> everyone else in our family wound up as drug addicts and furniture salesmen
04:14:17 Join: steve30 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
04:14:44 <Nothing\> along with dabbling in other various ventures, like my dad sold royal daltons for the longest time
04:15:07 <Nothing\> which are these victorian era ceramic figures of like, people and stuff
04:15:34 <Nothing\> or i dunno if it was royal dalton, but along the same lines, they had these weird looking ceramic mugs with creepy faces on them
04:15:45 <Nothing\> but not intentionally creepy
04:17:00 <Nothing\> mugs like this: https://cdn0.rubylane.com/_pod/item/1311637/3169/Vintage-Royal-Doulton-Mug-pic-1A-2048-843-f.jpg
04:17:45 <Nothing\> i remember my grandfather even sold full replica suits of armor on stands so it was like a guard standing at attention
04:19:01 <T3sl4> odd
04:19:16 <Nothing\> yeah they were into some weird businesses
04:19:56 <Nothing\> my grandfather would always drive a big rig down to mexico and load up on whatever he could get his hands on and sell them for a mark up
04:20:13 <Nothing\> frankly he shoulda done silver
04:20:37 <Nothing\> mexican silver is dirt cheap, especially back then in the 60s-early 90's
04:21:03 <Nothing\> i wouldn't mind trading silver at some point. my brother used to make good money on it
04:21:19 <Nothing\> except the mint has a minimum order of 50 oz troy
04:21:34 <Nothing\> at something like $18/oz
04:21:49 <Nothing\> plus a markup, i'm sure
04:22:05 <Nothing\> i doubt the mint would sell boullion right at spot price
04:22:53 <Nothing\> holy crap, $24/oz troy right now
04:23:02 <Nothing\> it was like $16 just a few weeks ago
04:23:33 <Nothing\> see? i coulda made a 30% profit at least
04:23:41 <Nothing\> plus markup

04:30:42 <Nothing\> so i got at least a rough estimate of how much the dental work i need on my teeth will cost me
04:30:57 <Nothing\> at the very least, after taxes... $50,000
04:31:00 <Nothing\> :/
04:31:08 <Nothing\> i'm thinking of starting a go-fund-me page or something
04:31:30 <Nothing\> i mean, fuck if i had $50k to spend i'd buy a fucking car
04:31:31 <T3sl4> are you buying a new set from a virgin?
04:31:39 <electrohead> well that was a routing issue and a half, ffs
04:31:39 <Nothing\> or buy a house in detroit
04:31:44 <electrohead> all is good now
04:31:47 <electrohead> and, hey o/
04:31:49 <electrohead> lol
04:31:57 <Nothing\> T3sl4, $40k of it is for implants
04:31:58 * T3sl4 hugs electrohead
04:32:04 * electrohead husg back
04:32:07 <electrohead> hugs*
04:32:13 <rust_collector> Nothing\, get on a plane to turkey and get it done for 4k
04:32:21 <Nothing\> plus i just realized it'd be more than that, cuz i'd need to pay the lab fees to make the dentures
04:32:31 <T3sl4> hows that compare with just dentures
04:32:31 <Nothing\> rust_collector, lol good idea
04:32:42 <steve30> Where are people supposed to get that kind of money from?
04:32:50 <rust_collector> it is not entirely a joke
04:40:48 <T3sl4> btw steve30, https://imgur.com/gallery/BEjl0Ao
04:41:52 <Nothing\> steve30, trust funds
04:41:55 <Nothing\> :/
04:42:18 <Nothing\> steve30, it's like how the AVERAGE price of a home in toronto is $800k
04:42:35 <Nothing\> it's to the point where only the wealthy will be able to afford a home
04:42:48 <Nothing\> and all of the rental units ar ebeing converted into condos
04:43:09 <Nothing\> tent cities are becoming a real problem in canada
04:43:24 <Nothing\> especially vancouver, where housing prices are the worst
04:44:11 <Nothing\> average price in vancouver is $892,000 :o
04:44:14 <Nothing\> like wtf
04:44:45 <Nothing\> it's cuz all of these foreign companies are coming in and buying up the properties, so demand is up and therefor so is the price
04:45:16 <Nothing\> meanwhile trudeau said he'd fix it when he was elected. we're still waiting.
04:45:38 <Nothing\> nevermind i just read that this recession is the worst we've seen since the 20s
04:45:48 <Nothing\> worse even than the 2006 one
04:49:44 <Nothing\> oh cool, there's a contra 4
04:49:49 <Nothing\> on the DS
04:50:23 <Nothing\> wish i could figure out how to get TTSMENU to sort my ROMs alphabetically rather than chronologically though
04:51:14 <Nothing\> oooh a bomberman RPG
04:54:43 <Nothing\> hey guys, i got a question about mounting disc images in windows 10 natively
04:55:09 <Nothing\> how would i go about mounting a bin/cue file like that? cuz there aren't mounting options on either file
04:59:18 <T3sl4> think you need a driver (user mode?) to do that
05:00:51 <electrohead> is there an equivelant of a loopback driver for windows?
05:04:19 <rust_collector> uhm, virtual machine, then share the mounted image? I dunno, I bet there is some way to do it. at least 15 nerds use windows
05:05:01 <Nothing\> my alternative is to just install something like alcohol 120% and mount it with that
05:05:14 <electrohead> wow, I haven't heard that name in a while
05:05:17 <Nothing\> which i'm not too averse to because alcohol 120% was good software
05:06:03 <Nothing\> lol electrohead on my old computer, windows wouldn't mount any disc images at all so i wound up having to use alcohol 120% and it's still just as good
05:06:47 <Nothing\> you click mount and it'd just sit there with the hourglass for ages and eventually stop and nothing would have happened

05:40:31 <Nothing\> apparently they're for the dolby
05:40:42 <hsn> T3sl4, so what i did .. played with some website tool .. to find .. the pin impedance .. https://snipboard.io/RBezcP.jpg
05:40:43 <Nothing\> one set for 5.1 and another for 7.1
05:41:03 <Nothing\> never heard of speakers using banana jacks before
05:41:52 <hsn> so i assume its Rs= 115 , reactance 25 .. and i took same values to find pi network : https://snipboard.io/CHW3I0.jpg
05:41:54 <T3sl4> hsn: do you know that the "RF" end is 50+j0 ohms?
05:42:28 <hsn> T3sl4, no .. the antenna i want to use have no info actually ! https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/2450AT42E0100/2450AT42E0100.pdf
05:42:56 <Nothing\> oh nice, this one,s a pioneer
05:43:07 <Nothing\> the other ones are onkyos, which i've never heard of
05:43:39 <Nothing\> oooh even has a DSP in it
05:44:27 <T3sl4> says 50 ohms
05:44:32 <T3sl4> i'd like to see a layout doc tho
05:44:42 <hsn> they .. hide it :)
05:45:04 <hsn> "ask us" "ask us" .. etc
05:45:57 <hsn> so .. T3sl4 ... assuming my layout will be 50ohm .. antenna .. what i did is correct ? converted the nrf chip "from typical values to pin impedance" stuff ?
05:46:30 <T3sl4> they have this but it's mostly for the AT45 https://www.johansontechnology.com/chip-antenna-layout-considerations-for-802-11-applications
05:46:45 <hsn> T3sl4, i mean .. i changed these two until i got close values to nrf52832 reference circuit values : https://snipboard.io/PY53NR.jpg
05:47:28 <hsn> T3sl4, ah .. yeah .. i saw it .. but that specific one is "zero clearance antenna" doesnt match these ..
05:48:44 <hsn> https://snipboard.io/G2EXAy.jpg << so i assume its 50 .
05:49:19 <Nothing\> 500 watts for this reciever
05:49:21 <Nothing\> not bad
05:50:05 <Nothing\> here it is
05:50:07 <Nothing\> https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/pioneer/vsx-d466s.shtml
05:50:42 <Nothing\> does it really need a frequency response up to 100khz?
05:50:49 <Nothing\> that seems a bit overkill
05:50:53 <hsn> 9.1kg .. thats heavy huh ?
05:51:02 <Nothing\> yeah it's a big bastarde
05:51:13 <Nothing\> most stereo receivers are
05:51:18 <Nothing\> at least that i've dealt with
05:51:39 <Nothing\> gotta have beefy parts and heatsinks to handle that 500 watts
05:52:12 <Nothing\> 1997 it was made though, that's a bit older than i was hoping
05:53:34 <Nothing\> here's the 2nd one i have here
05:53:36 <Nothing\> https://www.amazon.ca/Onkyo-HT-RC360-7-2-Channel-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B004UR487U
05:53:50 <Nothing\> seems kinda crap
05:55:20 <Nothing\> and the last one i have
05:55:22 <Nothing\> https://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-SR606-Receiver-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B0015S8PGW
05:55:39 <Nothing\> but i'm guessing those last 2 don't work since my aunt said only one of them worked
05:55:59 <Nothing\> plus damned if i have any speakers with banana jacks for the input
05:56:12 <hsn> T3sl4, another consideration is .. they also .. have different ones for different thicknesses .. https://snipboard.io/E3tCZ9.jpg ... and im using (sig gnd pwr sig gnd sig) 1mm stackup .. and im thinking .. under the antenna i should only have (5th layer gnd .. no other planes should be in there) .. is this correct thinking ??
05:56:57 <Nothing\> unless i took apart a broken multimeter probe and solder the banana jacks onto a speaker
05:57:24 <T3sl4> use the chip recommended for 1mm board and remove all inner layer copper under it, pour the back side
06:00:06 <hsn> can i use .. the 5th layer .. that will be 0.8mm .. or the subtrate between 5th and 6th will fuck the calculations ? :D
06:01:39 <T3sl4> you can use inner layers to get a lower height yes
06:01:55 <T3sl4> use the appropriate version part in any case
06:03:00 <hsn> yes .. correct version .. no problem ..
06:05:22 <rust_collector> i am looking forward to hsn receiving his 666 pallets of random garbage from nordic. that will be fun
06:05:38 <hsn> T3sl4, thanks .. for the first consideration .. u think i did it correctly ? i've no idea what im doing .. i just used a website online calculator .. put some numbers .. to convert that L to pi .. https://snipboard.io/Z6pdDy.jpg
06:06:00 <hsn> rust_collector, i swear i've no idea what u talking about hahhaah
06:06:02 <T3sl4> yes yes, those numbers are nbelievable
06:06:20 <T3sl4> what's more important are whether the assumptions are right
06:06:47 <rust_collector> hsn, have you heard about people prank ordering pizza to someone?
06:07:10 <hsn> T3sl4, :D lol ... actually i just wanted to convert that thing to PI .. in case assumptions are wrong .. i can always short the pi to L again .. with 0 ohm resistor
06:07:19 <hsn> rust_collector, no ..
06:07:24 <rust_collector> or like my best ever fake order... a pair of garage doors.
06:07:34 <rust_collector> ok, I guess that would be illegal
06:07:45 <T3sl4> why pi? looks like the Q is higher --> more sensitive to component variation
06:07:47 <hsn> so did u order me .. pile of shit ?
06:08:36 <hsn> T3sl4, thats the thing .. i dont know what pi has advantage over L .. i've just seen it used a lot and thought lets act im smart
06:08:37 <hsn> hahah
06:08:49 <T3sl4> i see
06:08:56 <hsn> but .. i also thought .. i can convert that pi to L .. with 0ohm resistor
06:09:04 <hsn> or open circuit ..
06:09:35 <T3sl4> as long as the extra pad capacitance and trace length don't screw it up
06:09:59 <hsn> i guess .. not in this frequency ?
06:10:02 <hsn> X_X
06:10:33 <T3sl4> without a VNA the best you can do is reproduce the original circuit, down to exact trace length and impedance
06:10:59 <hsn> ah
06:19:44 <hsn> rust_collector, what did u order for me
06:20:10 <hsn> im going to jail
06:20:13 <T3sl4> i hope it was a shrubbery
06:20:26 <hsn> because u order wireless stuff
06:20:56 <rust_collector> Oh, I did not say "I" ordered anything.... but there might be a big pile of stuff on the way.
06:21:16 <hsn> holy moly .. what is it
06:21:16 <hsn> :D
06:21:43 <hsn> rust_collector, let me show u some of my search history : https://snipboard.io/lJta3c.jpg
06:21:53 <rust_collector> I don't know, I do not know anything about weird mini things with networky thingies
06:22:12 <hsn> https://snipboard.io/cFP439.jpg
06:22:42 <rust_collector> nice
06:23:24 <rust_collector> maybe, as I now know you are interested, you should get some random chemicals from sherwin williams
06:24:06 <hsn> no juton ?
06:24:26 <rust_collector> jotun is boring
06:25:28 <hsn> so is there really somthing on way?
06:25:38 <rust_collector> I guess it would look like you were running an industrial meth lab?
06:25:52 <hsn> because i'll get called by ministry of interiors .. if there is ..
06:25:56 <hsn> i better have answers
06:25:57 <hsn> hahah
06:26:36 <hsn> these guys .. easily say "u doing bombs" ..
06:26:55 <hsn> hit me few times .. record me saying yes im bomber .. and put me on bahrain TV..
06:26:56 <rust_collector> hmmm, it could be that you should find some answers, just in case
06:27:24 <rust_collector> ooh, so you would be famous!
06:27:29 <hsn> yay
06:27:48 <hsn> ok .. if i disappeared .. u know u did it lol
06:27:49 <hsn> :D
06:28:08 <rust_collector> tell them you are not allowed to talk about it
06:28:29 <hsn> thats worse hahaha
06:28:52 <hsn> .. oh ur not allowed .. means .. u are dealing with iran ..
06:29:08 <rust_collector> ok?
06:29:42 <rust_collector> so, people working for your government do not have secrets, right?
06:29:57 <hsn> u r being paid by "iran goverment" to sabotage the piece in the lovely bahrain
06:30:12 <hsn> rust_collector, i think mostly not heh :D
06:30:24 <rust_collector> right, that is where all the money comes from
06:30:43 <hsn> money is gonna go soon
06:31:34 <rust_collector> so, how are things down there today?
06:31:57 <rust_collector> yes, hot and dusty, but...
06:32:02 <hsn> these .. ppl :: https://www.imf.org/external/index.htm
06:32:37 <hsn> are having some meetings here .. so there is gonna be some bad things gonna to happen soon
06:33:00 <rust_collector> mmhmm
06:33:45 <rust_collector> I am sort of looking forward to the bahrain-andorra wars... should be entertaining
06:33:56 <hsn> allready few days .. i saw a news of "electricity going to be very expensive soon" exactly after these folks had meeting with minister of electricity
06:34:38 <hsn> so .. down here .. we are entering the "winter" .. which is basically .. nice weather
06:34:55 <rust_collector> same here
06:35:01 <hsn> https://snipboard.io/m8N50G.jpg
06:35:51 <hsn> urs is not so nice :P
06:35:58 <rust_collector> yeah, that would be ok, if I was in the shade, not doing anything except eating and drinking
06:36:01 <hsn> our nice is ur summer i guess ?
06:36:07 <rust_collector> yep
06:36:09 Join: jackbrown ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
06:36:50 Join: Stiff ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
06:37:33 <rust_collector> hmm, i tlooks like it will be a bit warmer... https://www.yr.no/place/Norway/Hav/Skoppum_observation_site/long.html
06:38:19 <hsn> i think ... in our "most winter" .. we will reach .. "11C" for 1 week or so ..
06:38:20 <hsn> :D
06:38:40 <jackbrown> hey there
06:38:53 <hsn> and then back to somthing like 19-23C most of the time ..
06:38:57 <hsn> hi jackbrown
06:39:15 <rust_collector> I think, the coldest I have seen here, is -32. but yes, most of the time, it is at around 0 to -15 or so
06:39:27 <jackbrown> Question why some resistor are bigger in size ? Is there any difference with the small one s?
06:39:46 <rust_collector> it could be one that can handle more power
06:41:16 <jackbrown> rust_collector: I was reading this thread, they say that it's due to technology https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/showthread.php?t=146254
06:42:49 <rust_collector> sure. but if you buy a large modern one, and a tiny modern one, the big one can probably handle more power than the tiny one? if you want to compare a normal part, to one from 1930, that is a bit different
06:44:04 <jackbrown> rust_collector: why did I learn to identify the resistor just with ohm measurement ? They should be a second value as for the capacitor ex 1500uf 25V
06:44:55 <T3sl4> voltage and current ratings are typical, and wattage is more or less by size
06:45:02 <hsn> there is second part but mostly not important as in caps..
06:45:41 <hsn> T3sl4, i think there is voltage rating .. but is there current rating ?
06:45:48 <T3sl4> yes
06:45:51 <hsn> or just voltage and power ?
06:46:03 <rust_collector> that sort of is the same, no?
06:46:06 <jackbrown> T3sl4: how can I understand a resistor wattage looking at it? I learn that he color will tell you the resistance but I dunno nothing about wattage https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/resistor/res_7.html
06:46:18 <T3sl4> voltage limit applies to high values, power to middle values, and current to low values
06:46:55 <rust_collector> ooh, I found a little transistor from 10/71. that is neat
06:47:02 <T3sl4> jackbrown: a typical 1/4W resistor is around 6mm long
06:47:38 <jackbrown> T3sl4: let's say that I have a burnt resistor, I know hoe many ohm it is because of the color, how can I know what it's wattage ?
06:47:58 <rust_collector> well, you would know it was not enough?
06:48:29 <hsn> <T3sl4> voltage limit applies to high values, power to middle values, and current to low values
06:48:34 <hsn> meaning .. ?
06:49:09 <jackbrown> hsn: sorry I got lost
06:49:10 <T3sl4> a 10k 1/2W resistor ain't gonna survive 2A nor 300V
06:49:13 <hsn> T3sl4, are u refering to : Johnson–Nyquist noise ?
06:50:00 <jackbrown> T3sl4: ok thanks so the second value for the resistor besides the resistance in ohm, it's the wattage
06:50:39 <hsn> ah .. ok .. i got u T3sl4 .. i would say that both of these are actually (power rating) .. i would say there is also (voltage rating) ..
06:51:00 <hsn> meaning .. at some big voltage .. it will be short circuit ressitor .. from inside ..
06:51:05 <T3sl4> well, power is power
06:51:11 <T3sl4> and current is current, and voltage is voltage
06:51:20 <hsn> i think "MELF" resistor has higher ..
06:51:22 <jackbrown> https://www.electricalengineering.xyz/sheet/resistor-power-rating-chart/
06:51:27 <hsn> voltage ratings
06:51:28 <hsn> ?
06:52:14 <jackbrown> 5 Watt Resistor is the bigger that exists ?
06:52:29 <rust_collector> no
06:52:38 <hsn> jackbrown, i got these .. white 5W resistors
06:52:52 <hsn> https://images.app.goo.gl/uKoyqsuSqeAULmbw5
06:53:38 <jackbrown> hsn: never seen
06:53:52 <T3sl4> you don't see banded resistors much over 1 or 2W, though they exist
06:54:26 <T3sl4> above that, metal-oxide and wirewound resistors tend to be printed, and they go from cylindrical to square and other bodies
06:54:31 <jackbrown> T3sl4: hsn let's say I burnt a 1Watt resistor 100Ohm for example and I just have 1/4 watt resistor 100Ohm, can I solder 4 o them to replace the 1watt ?
06:54:48 <hsn> yes
06:54:51 <T3sl4> in series parallel so they're the same resistance, yes
06:55:07 <jackbrown> T3sl4: they have to be all 4 100ohm or 25x4 ?
06:55:24 <T3sl4> or 400
06:55:30 <jackbrown> ?
06:55:31 <hsn> 25ohm * 4 in series .. or 400 x 4 parallel
06:55:40 <jackbrown> hsn: ah ok
06:56:23 <hsn> i guess "but really not sure" .. in parralel u might want to seperate them little bit .. to get more cooling
06:57:06 <jackbrown> hsn: I think it's just theoretical becuase I think I'll buy the proper one
06:57:30 <jackbrown> hsn: T3sl4 does anyone have to suggest a nice kit with capacitors an resistor cheap that I can buy from Aliexpress ?
06:57:51 <hsn> T3sl4, i was refering to : https://www.vishay.com/docs/49772/_cmb0207_wvm_pt9197_1605.pdf .. https://www.vishay.com/docs/49772/_cmb0207_wvm_pt9197_1605.pdf
06:57:59 <hsn> Up to 10 kV or 3 kW single pulse capability
06:58:19 <T3sl4> there are specialty types with higher ratings, yes
06:58:40 <T3sl4> especially pulsed ratings ;)
06:58:45 <hsn> https://snipboard.io/6XUhbO.jpg
06:59:25 <hsn> jackbrown, i bought 1 book sample before .. SMD stuff ..
07:00:36 <hsn> jackbrown, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33052890464.html
07:00:39 <jackbrown> hsn: yes I know that smd books, they are cool, but I'm looking at some TH kit to have all the resistor and the capacitors that I could need
07:01:01 <jackbrown> hsn: this is just 0805 size ?
07:01:03 <rust_collector> you can get TH books as well
07:01:04 <hsn> jackbrown, never bought sorry ..
07:01:19 <rust_collector> well, at least you used to
07:01:29 <hsn> jackbrown, yes .. i think its perfect for hand solder stuff ...
07:01:32 <jackbrown> hsn: if you need some TH resistor or capacitor you just go and buy them?
07:02:09 <hsn> jackbrown, i've ones laying down .. i use them .. i got them from university days ..
07:02:24 <jackbrown> ok
07:03:02 <jackbrown> hsn: what's 0201? I soldered till 402
07:03:20 <rust_collector> about half
07:03:24 <hsn> T3sl4, but also https://snipboard.io/6XUhbO.jpg << that 500V .. i think is not related power .. just it will short or somthing ..
07:03:41 <hsn> or thats what i thought .. i duunnu
07:03:50 <jackbrown> rust_collector: have you have soldered 0201? for 0402 i use microscope
07:04:05 <hsn> jackbrown, 0201 .. the ones that u struggle to see .. and dont wanna see ... :D
07:04:10 <rust_collector> nope. i do not do fancy modern stuff
07:04:33 <rust_collector> I barely do old basic stuff
07:04:43 * T3sl4 sneezes sand at hsn
07:04:53 <hsn> http://hsn93.com/www/haha.mp4
07:05:13 <jackbrown> rust_collector: so since you do old stuff, can you suggest me about resistor and capacitors that I need ? Do you think it's a good idea to buy a kit with plenty ? (currently I need 2 1000uf 25V caps, and a 1/4 or 1/2 watt resistance)
07:05:21 <hsn> T3sl4, thats exactly what the technician did last week to me .. he was sick with flu .. :)
07:06:34 <hsn> rust_collector, how did the fat guy flip ?
07:06:45 <rust_collector> I think most of my resistors are shitty random ones from ebay, caps are in general out of things. But mouser has most of what I need, if I need it
07:07:05 <rust_collector> hsn, he just ignored gravity, and did it
07:07:07 <rust_collector> ?
07:07:29 <hsn> u right
07:07:44 <rust_collector> ignorance is powerful
07:08:04 <jackbrown> hsn: I don't understand, does this book has even resistor or it's just capacitors? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33052890464.html?
07:08:19 <hsn> jackbrown, just caps
07:08:23 <Nothing\> right on, i just found a copy of wolfram mathematica on the HDD i took out of my old computer
07:08:28 <jackbrown> hsn: ok
07:08:31 <Nothing\> the installer, i mean
07:08:42 <Nothing\> damn thing's 10gb :o
07:08:45 <hsn> jackbrown, there are other books for leds .. resistors
07:09:17 <Nothing\> i also found out that Windows 10 has a graphing calculator actually built into it
07:09:25 <Nothing\> how do ya like that?
07:09:29 <jackbrown> hsn: yes but if I buy all of them I will end up with a lot of stuff that probably I don't need
07:09:49 <rust_collector> right. so buy the things you need?
07:09:59 <hsn> https://ansan888.aliexpress.com/store/group/SMD-Resistor-Book/605870_251198913.html
07:10:32 <hsn> jackbrown, i think i bought 200$ of stuff that i dont need last few days
07:11:08 <jackbrown> hsn: lol, me too from aliexpress, may I ask you what did you buy if it's electronic related stuff ?
07:11:50 <hsn> jackbrown, https://snipboard.io/iycSU0.jpg

07:15:06 <jackbrown> hsn: yeah I see, do you run a lab?
07:15:39 <hsn> jackbrown, not really .. just jelly bean components "that i might need" .. i got no good local store here
07:15:45 <hsn> so i order from digikey .
07:15:56 <jackbrown> hsn: same here
07:16:08 <hsn> i share with friends if they neeed
07:16:13 <rust_collector> jackbrown, where are you located?
07:16:17 <jackbrown> hsn: would be great having a local store where you can buy just few pieces that you need time by time
07:17:31 <hsn> got few stores that sell me with 20x the price ... no ESD .. no knowledge .. no good components
07:17:33 <rust_collector> I found a model train store in town, that actually has some basic electronics stuff, which is nice. I can go and buy a single 1k resistor, if I want
07:18:20 <hsn> so a 1/4w ressitor will be 0.65$ or somthing ..
07:18:31 <hsn> weather u buy one of 10 xD !!
07:18:40 <hsn> or 20!
07:18:58 <jackbrown> hsn: I'm trying to repair his universal 20-30yrs old psu, I know it's silly but there are just few pieces inside to replace 4 diode 4 resistance and 2 capacitors https://www.ebay.it/itm/Alimentatore-multitensione-regolabile-1000mah-trasformatore-connettori-universal/223368405160?
07:19:03 <jackbrown> this
07:19:16 <hsn> want IC ? he will get it to u .. old thing .. might even find rusted orange pins .. he handles them all same way ..
07:19:26 <jackbrown> I was using it and suddendly I saw and smelled the magic smoke
07:20:22 <hsn> hmmm
07:21:01 <jackbrown> jackbrown: anyway it's output ware really never accurate, so think that the resistor burnt of course but the caps need to be replaced too
07:21:07 <hsn> i wish im like u .. i should put my hand in opening and repairing stuff .. great knowledge comes from that
07:21:47 <hsn> jackbrown, maybe the output always never accurate
07:21:50 <jackbrown> hsn: yes even because I'm hobbist and really dunno a lot about electronics so I'm trying to repair as much as I can, the problem is getting the replacement parts
07:22:23 <hsn> for me i think the problem is im always bored .. from anything i touch physically
07:22:27 <jackbrown> hsn: It was too silly, I think that the inside component are too old and need to be replaced, the board is simple as hell and has just few components
07:23:12 <jackbrown> hsn: it was so inaccurate that I set 4.5Volt and the output was 7 or something like that I think it was time to die for a 25-30 yrs old board
07:23:36 <rust_collector> nah, make it suffer a decade or two more
07:24:09 <jackbrown> rust_collector: bigger resistor is burnt, doesn't work anymore
07:24:11 <rust_collector> imo, fixing things in general is a good thing
07:24:49 <jackbrown> why 10000uf capacitors are so "expensive" ?
07:25:20 <jackbrown> rust_collector: It has even the polarity inversion that can be useful for some devices
07:25:31 <rust_collector> oh, ok
07:26:38 <jackbrown> rust_collector: I'm trying to fix it to learn and because it's useful, these kind of PSU were really popular in the 80s
07:27:06 <rust_collector> yep
07:27:18 <rust_collector> well, that is good. I hope you have fun also
07:27:31 <jackbrown> rust_collector: how do you call it ? Transformer ? PSU ? https://www.tradeshopitalia.com/36812-superlarge_default/trasformatore-alimentatore-universale-1000ma-da-15v-a-12v-1000ma-ac-dc.jpg
07:28:10 <jackbrown> rust_collector: yes sure, when I'll get the caps that I need and the resistance, hopefully that the diodes of the rectifier don't need to be replaced
07:28:20 <jackbrown> rust_collector: what's your experience about old diodes ?
07:29:01 <rust_collector> I think I would call it a power supply. hmm, diodes... well, I guess I have been lucky, most of the time.
07:29:54 <jackbrown> rust_collector: I'm planning to replace the burnt resistor of course and the 2 1000uf 25V caps
07:30:11 <rust_collector> I have a similar-ish device, and that is called a battery eliminator
07:31:21 <rust_collector> remember that if you find caps with a higher voltage rating, you can use those, if the capacitance is the same, or close enough
07:31:24 <jackbrown> rust_collector: yes is exactly what I use it for, I connect it to some devices that normally run on batteries to make them rum
07:31:46 <jackbrown> rust_collector: yes I know, thanks
07:32:16 <jackbrown> rust_collector: honestly the parts of this psu are so few that once replaced all it should last other 20yrs
07:32:27 <rust_collector> yep
07:32:53 <rust_collector> so, what does it have inside? do you have any pics?
07:33:23 <rust_collector> if it is 30 or so years old, it has to have a 723 ic in there, I guess
07:33:35 <jackbrown> rust_collector: i saw that there are two copper coil and the output has 7 copper pin, this turns the 220AC into lower AC voltage before the rectifier tun it into DC
07:33:52 <jackbrown> rust_collector: wait i'll take some pics, maybe you can explain me better how it works
07:34:11 <rust_collector> oh, so it is just a transformer, with many different taps?
07:34:18 <rust_collector> into a rectifier?
07:43:25 <jackbrown> rust_collector: yes exactly wait pictures are coming
07:43:54 <jackbrown> rust_collector: pcb seems draw by hand lol
07:45:00 <rust_collector> that is possible
07:45:08 <jackbrown> rust_collector: https://ibb.co/Ry2Mnnp
07:45:09 <jackbrown> https://ibb.co/cTs2ywS
07:45:09 <jackbrown> https://ibb.co/7WRRY2T
07:45:09 <jackbrown> https://ibb.co/KDmkJsY
07:46:10 <jackbrown> rust_collector: can you explain the transformer part that has 8 output ?
07:47:19 <T3sl4> whoa
07:47:21 <rust_collector> eeh, i think it just have several windings, so you get different voltages
07:47:28 <T3sl4> playing ftl, my defense drone just got shot
07:47:30 <jackbrown> rust_collector: those two resistor ar 1Watt and 1/2 watt
07:47:46 <rust_collector> that is super simple.... neat
07:47:50 <jackbrown> rust_collector: ok so is a multile 220 to transformer
07:47:54 <T3sl4> which is rare, but it happens, but the explosion where it used to be still fired a shot at the incoming missile
07:47:56 <jackbrown> rust_collector: really simple
07:48:05 <T3sl4> i guess it doesn't deactivate until the animation clears
07:48:41 <jackbrown> rust_collector: do you think I can use bigger resistor to make it safer ?
07:48:47 <rust_collector> eeh, I would probably put a 1w resistor in there, just to make it bulletbroof, for the next few decades
07:48:57 <rust_collector> or 2, or 5
07:48:59 <rust_collector> or...
07:49:07 <rust_collector> whatever you can fit in there
07:49:15 <jackbrown> rust_collector: it already has 1Watt resistor is the one burnt
07:49:22 <rust_collector> ok,
07:49:27 <rust_collector> do more then
07:49:48 <jackbrown> rust_collector: the smallest is 1/2 watt ( i used caliper to measure both the bigger is 11mm lenght the smaller it's 8,5mm )
07:50:37 <rust_collector> as you need one of each, just order the beefiest part you can fit in there, imo
07:51:07 <jackbrown> rust_collector: that's a good idea and even the caps I can use 35v instead of 25v
07:51:23 <rust_collector> sure, or 50, or 63, or...
07:51:31 <rust_collector> whatever you can find.
07:51:37 <jackbrown> rust_collector: 50 isn't too big ?
07:51:42 <rust_collector> no
07:51:52 <rust_collector> it will be fine
07:52:16 <jackbrown> rust_collector: on the label says max output 1000mA, if I oversize will it modify the max amperage output too ?
07:52:27 <rust_collector> you can probably up the capacitance a bit too, if you find a bigger one.
07:52:33 <rust_collector> well, probably not
07:52:43 <jackbrown> rust_collector: why?
07:52:54 <rust_collector> because you still have the same transformer
07:53:03 <jackbrown> rust_collector: ok
07:53:13 <rust_collector> and the diodes might not like more than x amps?
07:53:44 <jackbrown> rust_collector: I should replace the diodes too
07:53:53 <rust_collector> well, it could improve things, but it would just make it more reliable at the same rating.
07:54:07 <rust_collector> oh, I dunno? is there anything wrong with them?
07:54:23 <jackbrown> rust_collector: what's the thing with the amps ? I thought that the transformer "just" transform the 220V into 1,5V or 3V or 5V AC ?
07:54:34 <rust_collector> yes
07:54:47 <rust_collector> it does
07:55:00 <jackbrown> rust_collector: I thought that the Amperage depends on what you attach to the transformer
07:55:23 <jackbrown> rust_collector: what limit the amperage into this transformer PSU ? the copper coil ?
07:56:17 <rust_collector> well, it is a small transformer, with many windings. so sort of yes, copper coil
07:56:34 <rust_collector> that is probably over simplified to say, but
07:58:28 <rust_collector> being sealed in a tiny box does not help much, I guess. but in general, it is just a very small device. you can not expect too much from it
07:58:35 <jackbrown> rust_collector: is this resistor 101 Ohm ? the burnt one
07:58:51 <rust_collector> good question
07:59:21 <jackbrown> rust_collector: I don't want to push it at all, even for safety, I just need it to "avoid batteries" on some devices so it's more than enough for what it serves
07:59:44 <rust_collector> sure.
08:00:21 <jackbrown> probably 200 Ohm '
08:00:34 <jackbrown> I see red black black brown
08:03:16 <jackbrown> it should be 20Ohm then
08:03:26 <rust_collector> yep
08:03:37 <rust_collector> what is it if you read it backwards?
08:04:13 <rust_collector> oh, ok
08:04:38 <rust_collector> do you get any reading from it at all?
08:06:13 <jackbrown> rust_collector: didn't test with the multimeter but since I saw and smelled a quite disgusting "magic smoke" I think that is pretty dead
08:07:18 <rust_collector> they can look horrible, and still work. you are probably right, but
08:08:26 <jackbrown> rust_collector: about what I reading/understanding I'm pretty sure that the capacitors are gone, I think that is due to the capacitor that the output was really bad (for example 4,5 with the multimeter was 7 etc.) and that was caused probably the death of the resistor
08:09:06 <rust_collector> well, there is no regulation on that thing, so until you put a load on it, it will not drop to the set voltage
08:10:13 <jackbrown> rust_collector: sorry I got lost, probably even language barrier
08:10:41 <jackbrown> rust_collector: what do you mean? It has a selector if I set it to 9V I'd expect that the output would be around 9 and not 12 or 13
08:10:59 <rust_collector> I have some shitty "12v" transformers here, that give me 16-17 volts, until I load it with... a load
08:11:51 <rust_collector> it is just a transformer and rectifier, so... I mean, there is no voltage regulator in there
08:12:15 <jackbrown> rust_collector: I got, you means this is how it is suppose to work
08:12:56 <jackbrown> rust_collector: it's built to get the set voltage just when it's on load,
08:13:02 <rust_collector> yes
08:14:30 <rust_collector> also, do you really have 220v there, or has the voltage increased to 230 there also? or 235, or... that will make a difference...
08:15:25 <jackbrown> rust_collector: yep more the input more the output
08:15:39 <rust_collector> right
08:16:33 <hsn> Gn
08:17:26 <jackbrown> rust_collector: never used my multimeter to check my home AC socket, I'm a bit scared, do you think that I could try without destroying it ? https://www.amazon.it/Mastech-MS8229-Multimetro-Digitale-Auto-Range/dp/B000JKMTDM
08:17:26 <rust_collector> night hsns mistress!
08:18:22 <rust_collector> it would probably be fine, as long as you have it set to measure ac voltage, but I am not going to tell you to do that
08:18:25 <hsn> jackbrown: its CAT II rated ... ?
08:18:41 <jackbrown> hsn: actually I have 3 cats
08:19:18 <rust_collector> hsn, that thing does not have a cat rating
08:20:03 <jackbrown> rust_collector: I will stick using it on low voltage then
08:20:32 <rust_collector> good idea.
08:20:38 <hsn> rust_collector: i saw the cat sticker on amazon link
08:20:44 <rust_collector> so?
08:20:51 <hsn> No cat?
08:20:53 <jackbrown> rust_collector: Safety Rating : CATIII 600V
08:20:53 <hsn> XD
08:20:59 <rust_collector> nyan cat rating
08:21:04 <jackbrown> http://www.mastech-group.com/products.php?cate=125&PNo=163#_
08:21:36 <rust_collector> it could have, but "I" would not trust that sticker
08:21:43 <hsn> Ok
08:21:55 <hsn> Maybe u can put it across 3 cats
08:22:01 <hsn> And it wont blow
08:22:15 <jackbrown> hsn: I doubt about that
08:22:19 <rust_collector> but otoh, I would measure mains with a cat with 2 nails in it
08:22:28 <hsn> So rusty
08:22:42 <rust_collector> yes, good night, hsn
08:22:57 <hsn> My wife telling me its my birthday .. but no cakes .. what i do?
08:23:15 <jackbrown> rust_collector: hsn anyway CAT III 600V it means that it should be safe even measuring 600V lines ?
08:23:19 <rust_collector> wifes bornday, or yours?
08:23:20 <hsn> She wants me to buy stand mixer
08:23:30 <hsn> Mine
08:23:31 <rust_collector> do it!
08:23:54 <hsn> Ill .. what a swmbo .. strong one
08:24:13 <hsn> jackbrown: im not sure but i think not ..
08:24:45 <rust_collector> jackbrown, page 2: https://content.fluke.com/promotions/promo-dmm/0518-dmm-campaign/dmm/fluke_dmm-chfr/files/safetyguidelines.pdf
08:24:48 <jackbrown> this is a tear down of an almost same model, what do you think ? https://youtu.be/v8RV3bs1MgQ?t=850
08:25:21 <rust_collector> having a mixer means more cake than no mixer means
08:28:02 <rust_collector> jackbrown, I think it is a dmm. it is probably fine.
08:28:31 <jackbrown> rust_collector: fine to test the main line of my house ? (230-240v)
08:28:38 <rust_collector> hsn, do you have baklava there?
08:29:02 <rust_collector> jackbrown, it is up to you. I would do that, but as I said, I will not say you should
08:29:46 <rust_collector> meh, hold both probes in one hand, or plug them in then power up the outlet, or somehting like that
08:30:09 <hsn> rust_collector: we dnt make .. rarly buy .. got other sweets
08:30:12 <jackbrown> rust_collector: are you watching the teardown video on yotube? seems that the guy found a big flaw since the dmm has no imput protection at all, so he is suggesting to use it for the main just in case of need, but not everyday
08:30:29 <hsn> Anyway gn .. cya
08:30:36 <Ysjoelfir> hsn:
08:30:40 <Ysjoelfir> gn8
08:30:42 <Ysjoelfir> rust_collector:
08:30:44 <Ysjoelfir> hi
08:30:47 <rust_collector> HEY!
08:31:00 <rust_collector> about time you dropped in, Dr S.
08:31:02 <Ysjoelfir> rust_collector: what?
08:31:09 <Ysjoelfir> rust_collector: yes
08:31:51 <rust_collector> jackbrown, many people survived the old days, when they had no protection at all.
08:32:28 <jackbrown> rust_collector: lol you are right, have you ever used one of those cheap 15-20$ Dmm to check main ? did it survived?
08:32:42 <rust_collector> yeah, it works fine
08:33:06 <rust_collector> hsn, ?
08:33:19 <rust_collector> BZZZZZ!
08:34:00 <rust_collector> so, how are things in germanistan, Dr S.?
08:34:46 <Ysjoelfir> rust_collector: its fine here, thanks
08:34:56 <rust_collector> any time dr
08:34:58 <Ysjoelfir> rust_collector: today my third screen arrived
08:35:03 <rust_collector> oh no
08:35:23 <Ysjoelfir> yes. (I stop that with the name now, its annoying me probably more than its you :P)
08:35:34 <rust_collector> hsn is still waiting for all the leftover crap nordic "sold" to them
08:35:40 <Ysjoelfir> XD
08:35:46 <jackbrown> time to leave thanks for help
08:35:50 <jackbrown> cy@
08:35:55 Quit: jackbrown ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
08:35:58 <Ysjoelfir> my shares went down 1.92% today :( you have to buy more
08:36:15 <rust_collector> you should have sold while they were up!
08:36:20 <Ysjoelfir> lol
08:36:36 <rust_collector> you would have made... 2 euros
08:36:37 <Ysjoelfir> nah, I speculate that they will rise even more in the future
08:36:46 <Ysjoelfir> actually I would have lost... 24€
08:37:00 <Ysjoelfir> because buying costs 15€ in fees, as well as selling
08:37:07 <rust_collector> hah!
08:38:15 <rust_collector> I could drop by, and ask what exactly your shares is equal to. maybe you own a big pile of copy paper, and an old laptop
08:38:27 <Ysjoelfir> probably :P
08:38:42 <rust_collector> if so, they should put your name on them
08:39:56 <Ysjoelfir> yay! I start printing little stickers with my name
08:40:01 <rust_collector> yep
08:40:05 <rust_collector> go go go
08:41:15 <rust_collector> heh. now I remember that little dymo punch thing, where you turned a wheel to the letter you wanted, and squeezed the handle. next letter... next...
08:42:02 * Ysjoelfir has that exact thing on his desk right now
08:42:09 <rust_collector> And I really think the wife should make baklava. "we have other sweets" what kind of answer is that?
08:42:25 <rust_collector> mine is blue
08:43:23 <Ysjoelfir> The device is chrome, my band is red
08:43:35 <rust_collector> I should have a look behind the confuser, and see if I even can connect more screens
08:43:55 <Ysjoelfir> sadly its some cheap remade band. doesn't stick that good.
08:44:03 <Ysjoelfir> 3 screens is very usefull
08:44:21 <Ysjoelfir> https://snipboard.io/nUlrDi.jpg see
08:44:33 <rust_collector> i could probably use 2, but I really do not have space here for more than one
08:46:39 <rust_collector> I do have to move things around again. maybe I can also extend my desk(again)
08:47:42 <Ysjoelfir> :P
08:47:49 <Ysjoelfir> get into woodworking and build a new desk
08:48:09 <rust_collector> I was out in the garage today, and noticed the confuser out there is still up
08:48:35 <Ysjoelfir> speaking of woodworking... my stones arrived. :)
08:48:53 <rust_collector> Well, yes, my knockoff okea desk is a bit embarrasing
08:49:33 <rust_collector> time to get stoned!
08:49:35 <hsn> I heared my name
08:49:41 <rust_collector> TAM TAM TAM!
08:49:49 <hsn> ZzzZzzz
08:50:03 <rust_collector> good for you, hsn, it was probably your wife
08:50:27 <hsn> Tmrw is sunday
08:50:38 <rust_collector> yeh
08:50:38 <hsn> Sun = noo good here
08:50:47 <rust_collector> no good here either
08:50:53 <rust_collector> complete waste of time
08:51:06 <hsn> No weekend?
08:51:22 <rust_collector> ban the sun! what a waste of energy, lol
08:51:26 <rust_collector> weekend?
08:51:50 <rust_collector> sunday is the end f the week here. but I am on vacation
08:51:57 <hsn> Ur weekend is .. monday?
08:52:12 <hsn> Week start day is what
08:52:21 <rust_collector> weeks starts on monday, like most sane places
08:53:40 <rust_collector> anyway, it looks like they could not solder up enough boards and modules for you, so they are sending random things, and a lot of copy paper, and an older laptop.
08:53:45 <hsn> Nothing more sane than friday off
08:54:28 <hsn> Nice .. how does it get here by sea?
08:54:30 <rust_collector> well, the rest of the week off is not bad...
08:54:53 <rust_collector> how it gets there by sea?
08:55:15 <rust_collector> i do not know. I assume they fold it up neatly, and stuffs it into bottles?
08:55:21 <hsn> Connected to the ocean
08:56:03 <rust_collector> sea of despair
08:56:43 <hsn> Cool .. 666 kit?
08:57:20 <rust_collector> it coudl be just 66 they are not sure abou tthe value if the stuffs yet
08:57:37 <hsn> I once saw .. the technician phone ..
08:57:45 <rust_collector> whoa!
08:57:48 <hsn> On youtube history search
08:58:02 <hsn> "bido six"
08:58:17 <hsn> I know he wanted "video sex"
08:58:49 <rust_collector> what else woudl one do at "work"
08:59:20 <hsn> Mybe not at work .. its his personall mobile
08:59:58 <hsn> Still not sure if i should make joke or not about it xD
09:00:55 <rust_collector> maybe "someone" will hack your phone or confuser, and just add a bunch of werid searches to the history file
09:02:54 <rust_collector> hsn, didn't you go to bed?
09:11:42 <hsn> I did
09:11:52 <rust_collector> butt?
09:12:13 <hsn> I went to sleep but sleep went to someone else
09:13:10 <hsn> So i just took warm 🚿
09:13:38 <hsn> Does that symbol get sent over irc?
09:13:40 <rust_collector> warm 01F 6BF ?
09:13:53 <rust_collector> not very well
09:15:04 <hsn> Shower
09:15:14 <rust_collector> nice
09:15:56 <rust_collector> I am searching for a displayport splitter thing, but it seems like no one has them any more
09:16:01 <hsn> Yeah showers on winter .. are hard to leave
09:16:22 <hsn> Hdmi multiplexer?
09:16:28 <rust_collector> I always have loooong showers.
09:16:32 <rust_collector> not hdmi
09:18:15 <hsn> I see
09:19:23 <rust_collector> maybe this thing has 2 ports. i would have to get back there and have a look. I could also unplug the other mouse while I was there
10:16:17 <rust_collector> night!

20:13:35 <hsn> what the hell .. KAutoSaveFile << is this KDE = linux .. ?
20:13:41 * T3sl4 shrug

21:48:34 <NeroTHz> moini
21:51:36 <T3sl4> 'lo
21:58:35 <steve30> o/
23:21:49 <rust_collector> you do not have to run loonix to have kde, hsn
23:22:36 <hsn> i dont actually know what was that library .. kautosave
23:23:09 <hsn> is KDE .. hmm .. some sort of cross platform framework ? i always thought its some sort of gui for linux
23:23:32 <hsn> whatever it is .. screw it :D
23:23:37 <rust_collector> you can port it to whatever you want
23:23:45 <NeroTHz> can you run it in windows?
23:24:07 <NeroTHz> I remember you have full window-manager-overhauls for older windows but I´ve not run into them for W10
23:26:52 <hsn> Nero can u borrow me few GHz from ur mind ?
23:27:09 <hsn> i borrow and never give back ..
23:27:13 <Ysjoelfir> I am blinking. what have I done that someone named me?
23:27:23 <hsn> Ysjoelfir, gm
23:27:30 <T3sl4> Ysjoelfir: Ysjoelfir Ysjoelfir Ysjoelfir
23:27:42 <Ysjoelfir> woah! Hi! Nice to meet you!
23:27:43 <T3sl4> hsn: you'll blow yourself up overclocking like that
23:30:04 <hsn> T3sl4, i can swet .. and not have a short circuit ..
23:30:24 <hsn> im built to handle hot summer ..
23:31:21 <NeroTHz> hsn, what do you need them for?
23:31:28 <rust_collector> you have some kind of coating?
23:32:03 <hsn> NeroTHz, to run the brain .. i heard i only use 1% or somthing
23:32:43 <hsn> rust_collector, no coatings its bare metal swet
23:33:56 * steve30 hugs Ysjoelfir
23:34:55 <T3sl4> (hsn: "sweating" is soldering copper pipes)
23:35:03 <T3sl4> it's not really bare if it's tinned, is it?
23:35:19 <hsn> T3sl4, thats why i need few GHz ..
23:35:30 <NeroTHz> hmm maybe I should just give up on the whole NAS idea, just get myself a few 3.5¨ 4 TB drives and switch to having all storage in my desktop again
23:35:31 <hsn> to stop making mistakes that u correct for me :P
23:36:45 <rust_collector> hsn, T3sl4 runs on a very very slow processor, but he uses an os that is not full of crapware
23:38:11 <hsn> rust_collector, T3sl4 have the perfect timing between his cpu/volatile and non volatile memories ...
23:38:35 * T3sl4 virtualizes hsn
23:38:42 <hsn> no wasted cycles
23:38:55 * hsn crashes
23:39:02 <rust_collector> right, so stop wasting cycles
23:39:08 <hsn> ok i go work
23:39:18 <rust_collector> I doubt that, lol
23:49:12 <NeroTHz> anyone here know if a Dell SAS raid card will work in any computer?
23:49:23 <NeroTHz> specifically this one e2k-ucp-61-(b)
23:53:46 <NeroTHz> hmm. I need to replace 6TB of storage (physical, 4TB after raid-6 overhead)
