02:53:17 <rust_collector> hey!
02:55:37 <T3sl4> hello
03:01:18 * steve30 wonders what to have for dinner
03:01:29 <K> a chikkun

04:03:15 * electrohead offers sausage and rice
04:04:48 <K> suspicious sausage
04:06:16 <Ampera> electrohead, that's actually quite similar to what I'm having for dinner
04:06:21 <Ampera> I'm making bratwurst and home fries
04:06:52 <electrohead> K: it's not surrounded by hair, if that helps any, lol
04:07:43 <rust_collector> does it have any tattoos?
04:10:10 <K> aftermarket modifications?
04:12:07 <electrohead> I'll give it a snake tattoo
04:13:08 <rust_collector> I think it is a bad idea to call the open area in a town a square
04:13:36 <coppice> Ampera: and which particular nasty little brats are in this wurst?
04:13:50 <Ampera> coppice, bits of the last guy who asked
04:15:13 <coppice> rust_collector: what would you prefer? The town centre thingy?
04:16:59 <rust_collector> not sure, and as it is not my language, it is not my job to figure out. But saying the square, when it is circular, seems... wrong
04:18:03 <coppice> rust_collector: its much more common for them to be square than to be round. They typically have a line of buildings along each edge
04:18:18 <rust_collector> sure. but still...
04:19:06 <coppice> larger towns usually have a town centre, but they seems a little grand for a small town
04:20:34 <rust_collector> heh, yes, we have that here, in my little village. which is weird enough, but they also put it in a gravel parking lot, behind the church, next to some skips.

05:51:44 * steve30 pets T3sl4
05:52:14 <T3sl4> :3
05:52:22 <Ysjoelfir> thats kinda cute :D
05:54:39 <rust_collector> are you done trolleying for the day?
05:56:04 <Ysjoelfir> I have been done for quite some hours, but I'm playing Factorio with a friend. :)
05:57:06 <rust_collector> something tell me you are out buying stuff, then trolleying it home, just to use the trolley to return it the next day
06:01:10 <Ysjoelfir> xD nope
06:01:22 <rust_collector> no no... right
06:01:40 <Ysjoelfir> I was actually at the mechanic, leaving the volvo for them to check the rattling noise, and at ex-work, picking up my stuff.
06:02:21 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Connection closed
06:02:45 <Ysjoelfir> sadly mr. mechanic was like "I don't hear any noise. But its loosing oil." - well, I knew the later. but that he didn't notice any rattling was a bit concerning
06:04:26 <steve30> My Mum still seems to be of the opinion that that Covid19 vaccine exists to kill 90% of the population.
06:04:34 <rust_collector> it is leaking, or does it use a lot?
06:04:55 <rust_collector> well, just wait, your mum could be right
06:06:19 <Ysjoelfir> its leaking.
06:06:27 <rust_collector> oh, good
06:20:36 <Ysjoelfir> I thin I'll ask him for a quote to swap the crankshaft seals, and while he has that thing out he can also swap the rod bearings and crank bearing
06:21:20 <rust_collector> prffftttt ok
06:21:48 <rust_collector> make him use proper bearings, not aluminium ones
06:22:25 <Ysjoelfir> why do you prffftttt? :D I think its cheaper than driving to rusty-shop and let him do that ;)
06:22:55 <rust_collector> oh yes. rusty-shop is fukn expensive
06:23:58 <rust_collector> not to mention rusty would stick a little peugeot diesel in it, and a haridryer for turbo sounds
06:24:29 <Ysjoelfir> lol^^
06:24:37 * electrohead sticks a real turbo in it
06:24:49 <rust_collector> it has a real turbo
06:24:58 <electrohead> :P
06:25:00 <rust_collector> a tiny one, but it is real
06:25:08 <electrohead> that's what she said
06:25:10 <electrohead> lol
06:25:16 <rust_collector> right
06:26:09 <rust_collector> Now it annoys me that I sold my gt35. it would be neat on an old volvo.
06:26:26 <Ysjoelfir> :P
06:27:00 <rust_collector> I actually think it would fit pretty well
06:27:03 <Ysjoelfir> I mean... I would love to make that myself, but I don't have a garage. so...
06:27:50 <rust_collector> that is ok, you just plow halfway across a ditch, and put the warning triangle on the roof
06:30:41 <Ysjoelfir> well... its not that easy here with neighbors who hate everyone under 70 years old
06:30:47 <Ysjoelfir> especially if they drive old cars
06:30:54 <Ysjoelfir> or even motorcycles, those are the worst!
06:31:06 <rust_collector> well, I sort of agree there
06:31:19 <rust_collector> so go somewhere else and find a ditch?
06:36:49 <Ysjoelfir> We have a... rental shop. like a place where you can work on stuff for a fixed rate per hour
06:37:25 <Ysjoelfir> but I kinda doubt that it an easy task. removing the gearbox and all that stuff. I mean, if I fuck up I have to leave it there, which costs much money
06:37:29 <rust_collector> that is not ideal, if you get stuck waiting for parts, lol
06:37:58 <rust_collector> yes yes, is ship, on ship.
06:40:35 * steve30 passes the channel some cool music
06:40:36 <steve30> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jt5uaviOn8
06:42:20 <Ysjoelfir> I MIGHT also be able to do it in the garage of a friend of mine. Its quite a drive, like.... 80km one way. but we could make it like... he drives the car, I follow with the motorcycle, and it would be ok to leave it there I think
06:43:00 <rust_collector> having a shop do it does make half of much sense
06:43:21 <rust_collector> unkess it is very very expensive
06:43:23 * electrohead cranks up Kraftwerk in steve30's general direction

06:47:30 <Ysjoelfir> I like the music steve shared :P
06:47:40 <rust_collector> yup
06:47:44 <Ysjoelfir> also rusty: Yes, I think so, too. what would you consider reasonable?
06:47:50 <Ysjoelfir> also Ampera: NICE! Grobe Bratwurst!
06:48:07 <rust_collector> Oh, I don't know. it is a bit of work...
06:48:43 <rust_collector> I mean, there is nothing tricky about it, it is just wrenching, and a lot of it
06:49:10 <Ampera> I've also taken advice from electrohead and decided to do saffron rice instead of home fries
06:54:49 <electrohead> I always put red pepper flakes in with my rice, while making it
06:54:59 <electrohead> but, I can eat spicy food 24/7
06:55:05 <electrohead> you into spicy foods much?
07:02:12 <Lord_of_nothing> WE TE EF what does "Üzgünüz" mean?
07:03:32 * T3sl4 hugs electrohead with a belt made of jalapenos
07:04:03 <rust_collector> Lord_of_nothing, is it hungarian, or turkish?
07:05:39 <Lord_of_nothing> its turkish maybe i know magyar
07:05:54 <rust_collector> ok, so it means we are sorry
07:08:56 * electrohead hugs T3sl4 with habanero sauce
07:09:12 * T3sl4 licks electrohead
07:09:33 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir, are those "diy pasta-blob" grater looking things somewhat common?
07:10:10 <Ysjoelfir> huh?
07:11:11 <rust_collector> it is a plate with holes, like a grater, with a small hopper on top, that you put pasta in, and plop little pasta blobs into the boiling water
07:11:48 <Ampera> electrohead, on occasion
07:13:17 <rust_collector> oh, I found it..on amazon, lol https://www.amazon.com/Norpro-3128-Spaetzle-Maker/dp/B00004UE89

07:16:49 <Ampera> rust_collector, 24hrs
07:19:07 <rust_collector> well, I am sorry, but you will survive for 24 hours on that
07:21:26 <Ysjoelfir> oh, a Spätzleschaber! yes, thats common, but more in eastern germany and in Schwaben. The "pros" do it by hand though.

09:25:58 <MrMobodies> Hello
09:26:12 <Ysjoelfir> hi
09:26:13 <MrMobodies> Everywhere I look in the shops soo much of sugar in things
09:26:20 <Ysjoelfir> indeed
09:26:22 <MrMobodies> someone brought this today
09:26:23 <MrMobodies> https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/waitrose-chocolate-swiss-roll/708320-707816-707817
09:26:36 <MrMobodies> cut it in 1/8 and it is tiny
09:26:36 <Ysjoelfir> Try eating low carb, you will be annoyed as fuck with all the sugar in things
09:26:53 <MrMobodies> bit into it, and all I taste is sugar... good to throw in the bin.
09:27:18 <MrMobodies> low carb with lots of sugar?
09:27:31 <Ysjoelfir> no.
09:27:48 <Ysjoelfir> if you try eating or living low carb you will be annoyed because they stuff sugar in fucking everything
09:28:02 <MrMobodies> I see yes
09:28:31 <MrMobodies> I went to buy someone some biscuits in a shop, it was their Birthday and i was at the pub with them
09:28:51 <MrMobodies> £2.49 lots of sugar, palm oil, oil this other crap
09:29:06 <MrMobodies> digestives, no palm oil £1 low in sugar than the £2.49
09:29:18 <rust_collector> what is your thing about palm oil?
09:29:19 <MrMobodies> which worked out better value
09:29:31 <MrMobodies> I heard the fat is not healthy in them
09:29:38 <rust_collector> well.
09:29:44 <Ysjoelfir> I like palm oil, its the most ecologic oil in the world
09:29:48 <MrMobodies> and they using it as a cheap alternative
09:29:52 <MrMobodies> oh
09:30:07 <MrMobodies> my mum uses a palm oil in her cooking
09:30:13 <MrMobodies> but she says it is not the same as the ones
09:30:28 <MrMobodies> in the sweets
09:30:30 <rust_collector> if you wanted healthy, you would not buy biscuits. But I think the issue with palm oil, is that they are using so many palm trees making it?
09:31:00 <MrMobodies> that's why I am seeing it appearing more
09:31:21 <MrMobodies> in some chicken burgers, sandwiches cakes
09:31:37 <Ysjoelfir> rusty: there are always so many arguments (at least here in germanistan) that palm oil is sooooooooo bad for environment, because of all the jungle that has to move because of palm planting. one should use coconut oil instead! well.. if you immagine that a palm tree produces as much oil as (I on't know the exact numbers, but in the ballpark of) 20 coconut palms... I would say palm oil is the most ecologic :D
09:31:40 <MrMobodies> I am trying to avoid them now but I am also seeing so many othe ingredientd that put me off
09:32:48 <Ysjoelfir> which is actually pretty logical if you think about it, its the cheapest oil because you can get the most for the least effort.
09:33:33 <MrMobodies> I think what it is with me, I can't trust them with anything, if the put all that sugar and fat in there.
09:34:09 <MrMobodies> buy a cake, and caked in sugar like that swiss roll
09:34:23 <MrMobodies> I can actually taste sugar inside of the cake as well as outside
09:34:23 <rust_collector> they tried to use it in biofuel, which is what I think the issue with it is, just because of the huge amounts of it you need. if it was only used for cooking, I don't think it would be a huge deal?
09:34:57 <Ysjoelfir> its also used in huge amounts in cosmetics. but yes, in germany roughly 40% of the yearly palm oil impoerts go into bio fuel
09:35:17 <MrMobodies> okay so palm oil is being used for fuel
09:35:47 <rust_collector> MrMobodies, up here, that kind of cake is a version of what we call "sugar cake" So I would not be surprised if it had a lot of sugar in it
09:35:52 <Ysjoelfir> well, no. its being transformed into ethanol to mix into gasoline and added more or less unrefined to diesel fuel
09:36:09 <rust_collector> well, or if you have a diesel, you can just burn it
09:36:40 <rust_collector> not so much in modern diesels, probably
09:36:46 <Ysjoelfir> if its old enough, yes. would not want to use anything unrefined in a modern diesel injection
09:36:50 <rust_collector> old ones would run on anything
09:37:23 <Ysjoelfir> I remember the days when my uncle had his old VW T2 which was always smelling like an old french fries shop
09:38:04 <MrMobodies> I remembered four years ago, Saindsbury 6 mince piece 9.6g of sugar, I can't remember how much fat.
09:38:15 <MrMobodies> Now they are likt 20g of sugar per pie
09:38:17 <rust_collector> 23%
09:38:28 <MrMobodies> oops *pies
09:38:57 <rust_collector> I like how fried onions are more than 50% fat, lol
09:40:06 <MrMobodies> https://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/health/sainsburys-mince-pies-contain-twice-11488615
09:40:25 <MrMobodies> that was a year after but Waitrose were selling them at 11.8g
09:40:53 <MrMobodies> I don't see much of a choice anymore as they seem so high
09:41:11 <rust_collector> well, you can make them with whatever you want
09:41:13 <MrMobodies> someone brought these mini pies, the tiny ones, 9.9g per pie
09:41:29 <MrMobodies> I will have to take them with running
09:41:36 <MrMobodies> to burn off the sugar
09:41:49 <rust_collector> ok, good luck
09:43:11 <MrMobodies> I am living in lockdown conditions and the death rate has increased. I was told many people were abiding by it when they went shopping, no masks and people so close.
09:43:22 <MrMobodies> oops *not abiding
09:44:23 <MrMobodies> I am waiting for the local pub to open but that won't be any time soon
09:44:52 <rust_collector> I think the idea of local pub is sort of interesting
09:45:14 <MrMobodies> some sad news, the there died
09:45:22 <MrMobodies> it was unique
09:45:28 <rust_collector> the what?
09:45:29 <MrMobodies> it did it's meerkat thing
09:45:35 <MrMobodies> the dog at the local pub
09:45:46 <MrMobodies> it stands up begging for crisps
09:46:07 <MrMobodies> I think that's what killed it, it had a bad stomache
09:46:16 <MrMobodies> someone told me when I went the local village shop
09:46:24 <MrMobodies> a week ago
09:47:37 <MrMobodies> but many dogs go in there and give you a guilt look when do you share your crisps
09:48:02 <MrMobodies> and some elderly owners feed them their beer
09:48:41 <MrMobodies> https://www.facebook.com/The-Top-House-at-Coates-355524597970426/
09:49:20 <MrMobodies> it also has nice outside views from the inside
09:51:32 <MrMobodies> over the past 7 days 2 people have died in my area and it is a tier two area.
09:52:19 <MrMobodies> 120 postitive and it is not a densily packed area unlike the cities
10:24:48 <T3sl4> Ysjoelfir: wow, i just did a high score 6313 in FTL (normal)
10:25:14 <T3sl4> had really good luck tho
10:29:51 <rust_collector> 75% luck, 50% cute, and the rest is pure skill
10:32:18 <Ysjoelfir> nice T3sl4 :D I think thats the perfect sign for me to stop playing now and going to bed^^ gn8 all
10:32:33 <rust_collector> now?!!!?

10:35:49 <MrMobodies> oh wrong one
10:36:37 <MrMobodies> I think I am coming down with a cold over the past week
10:36:46 <MrMobodies> pressure in the right side of my head
10:37:09 <MrMobodies> I hope it is not another strain of that covid starting up
10:37:30 <MrMobodies> but has been really cold over the past two weeks
10:39:26 <rust_collector> maybe you should buy some clothes?
10:39:59 <rust_collector> or some ear plugs, and just sit next to your oldest server
10:43:16 <MrMobodies> actually that is wht I am doing right now
10:43:25 <MrMobodies> I got many things on in the workshop
10:43:30 <MrMobodies> to warm it up
10:43:30 <rust_collector> I did not think it got really cold in england-land
10:43:42 <MrMobodies> well it was about -1 2 days ago
10:43:51 <rust_collector> heh
10:43:58 <MrMobodies> it snowed before that for a while and remained foggy for 3 days
10:44:07 <MrMobodies> now it is slowly warming up
10:45:32 <MrMobodies> it reminded me of one of those 1970's Dracula movies scenes where it is morning and they're trying to go back in hiding.
10:45:42 <MrMobodies> with the fog
10:46:28 <rust_collector> then jack the stripper jump out in front of them, and tears his clothes off
10:46:28 <MrMobodies> and it is raining again as it did twice today
10:46:33 <MrMobodies> oh
10:46:57 <rust_collector> yeah, it has been pretty rainy for a while

11:24:02 <arch> T3sl4, electrohead i finish soldering dis today :3 https://imgur.com/a/euroXt0
11:24:18 <arch> i need to build the LVDS board now
11:25:32 <arch> that's a Sharp 52" LCD TV in the back. the motherboard is fucked, so i'm building my own, to interface with the v59 universal LCD driver (small thin motherboard below the scope)
11:26:13 <arch> and this board is the power board, with power sequencing, buck reg for 5V USB (to power a raspberry pi or whatever), and i2c interface with logic level shifting
11:28:41 <arch> might be a little bit tough to make LVDS board on copperclad, but i think i can do it. traces might have to be limited to 0.3mm max. i estimate a few broken traces at least for the LVDS board...
11:31:00 <electrohead> and nothing is shorted on that?
11:31:04 <electrohead> damn, good job, lol
11:31:49 <arch> well, initially i had a few joined traces, but i used a scalpel to separate them. no big deal. also, the way i designed it is high current, high voltage tracks are much farther away from the logic level traces
11:31:59 <arch> so even if there were shorts, the 3.3V linreg would foldback
11:32:09 <electrohead> yeah I can see that
11:32:27 <arch> higher voltage tracks have 0.5mm clearance; low voltage tracks are 0.3mm clearance
11:32:38 <electrohead> I like your jumpers :p
11:32:43 <arch> and the "high" voltage in this case is 13V
11:33:01 <arch> lol thanks. just 32awg enamel wire, easy to scrape off and work with
11:33:13 <arch> except the power wires, those are i think awg22
11:35:13 <arch> i didnt have fuses, so i soldered on resistor clippings :D not a good idea for production run, but good enough for proto
11:46:20 * arch puts ants in Ampera's pants
11:57:30 * T3sl4 headpats arch
11:57:44 * arch blushes
12:10:04 <arch> T3sl4, any cool projects yur working on sensei?
12:11:48 <T3sl4> eventually i'll have this font encoder thingy working
12:14:09 <arch> what does it do?
12:16:31 <T3sl4> encodes a font
12:16:42 <T3sl4> specifically the dictionary model is what's left
12:18:59 <arch> if that's related to programming, im an even more noob at that :D
12:25:14 <T3sl4> all the more reason to keep working at it ;)

15:48:25 <Sebastian> Why do you need differential probes on OSCOPES? What is the difference between a differential probe vs. passive probe? How do probes function?

19:47:16 <steve30> hi
20:56:12 <Ysjoelfir> hello all
20:56:32 <rust_collector> hi, just you
20:56:36 <K> hello
20:56:49 <Ysjoelfir> hi rusty K :D
21:01:49 <Ysjoelfir> I was at the mechanic. we drove together and indeed, now the rattling was gone -.-
21:02:25 <rust_collector> ok, then the thing fell off. that should be fine
21:04:19 <Ysjoelfir> Well,... meh. But he suspected the rear suspension. he was like "damn, that tank is swimming like a little boat!"
21:05:39 <Ysjoelfir> He had it on a... lift.. thingy and checked all parts of the front axle, didn't find anything. rear the same, but he felt the rear to be way to soft. So... I assume the nivomat thingies are finally done for
21:06:43 <rust_collector> probably, but iIrc, they are pretty soft.
21:07:35 <Ysjoelfir> yes, they are. but I noticed that its following those... grooves in the street made by trucks way more than it did when I bought it. it feels literally like the car comes near one of those and vigurously pulls itself into that
21:08:53 <rust_collector> well, the ruts are probably not getting smaller?
21:09:49 <K> nuts are shrinking?
21:09:50 <Ysjoelfir> nope, but that is way more different than what can be explained by just the ruts getting larger ;)
21:11:29 <rust_collector> I think I would consider pu bushings in the rear. easy to put in, and not floppy like the original ones
21:11:43 <rust_collector> probably stay with rubber in the front
21:13:19 <Ysjoelfir> Yep, I think I'll get a set of bushings in spring and drive with intermitting rattling noises until then.
21:13:50 <rust_collector> yeah
21:14:26 <rust_collector> I remember it was a thing, to turn the bushings 90 degrees, if you were into drag racing
21:15:25 <Ysjoelfir> huh?
21:16:42 <rust_collector> they are softer in one direction, than the other. so if you turn them 90 degrees, you get "stiffer" bushings, if all you did was accelerate
21:17:08 <rust_collector> it would also handle like crap, but it would be quicker off the line
21:18:37 <Ysjoelfir> ha :D
21:18:44 <Ysjoelfir> Well, I don't want to do that :P
21:19:55 <K> he does not want to!
21:20:15 <rust_collector> boohoo
21:20:22 <K> can we make him?
21:20:42 <Ysjoelfir> no. I want to keep that car and don't trash it in a race ;P
21:21:20 <rust_collector> we will see
21:21:21 <K> weak.
21:23:56 <rust_collector> heh, radio says some guy (86) called the police, because wife (72) did not want to go to bed. police talked to both of them, and said she was old enough to decide on her own... I guess there has not been much happening
21:24:12 <Ysjoelfir> lol^^
21:31:24 <Ysjoelfir> probably :D
22:04:38 <rust_collector> https://imgur.com/gallery/TLvb9Lg
22:04:51 <Ysjoelfir> lol
22:06:22 <Ysjoelfir> I realy like that. We have a... kinda friend, she's into this whole "bill gates is injecting micro robots" bullshit. I think I'm going to send her that
22:06:39 <rust_collector> perfect!
22:06:54 <Ysjoelfir> btw rusty, do you watch "salvage workshop" on youtube?
22:07:07 <rust_collector> mm, not that I remember
22:07:40 <Ysjoelfir> you should consider it. the guy loves rusty stuff as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2euoM5oaW5A&list=PLYawuZlnembvbs8xSQBFADHZkvCQIlG01
22:08:03 <Ysjoelfir> been watching this series the last few days, its nice with how much dedication he tries to rescue that old cat
22:08:56 <rust_collector> heh, that is not a dozer
22:09:43 <rust_collector> I can not even remember the last time I saw a track loader

22:47:21 <Ampera> you know, I should probably uninstall flash
22:47:49 <Ampera> darn shame though, everyone I know to some degree has fond (and equally unfond) memories of flash
22:48:30 <Ampera> huh
22:48:35 <Ampera> it was already uninstalled
22:48:48 * steve30 hisses at flash
22:48:49 <Ampera> that's odd as it's been in my standard software list for ages
22:49:15 <steve30> It was good in the early days when it was a novelty, but then it got overused
22:49:17 <Ampera> I think the proper sendoff for flash really, steve30, is an L salute
23:04:43 <K> das ist falsch!
23:09:18 * Ampera K's K right in the K'er
