01:34:10 <electrohead> o/
01:34:59 <rust_collector> hello, mr electrohead
01:35:38 <electrohead> hey mate, how's it going?
01:36:28 <rust_collector> well. uhm. hello?
01:36:46 * Ampera hugs electrohead
01:36:48 <Ampera> how are you electrohead
01:38:34 <rust_collector> I wonder if I will wake up one of these days. that would be interesting
01:40:00 * Ampera falls asleep on top of rust_collector
01:40:16 <rust_collector> whoops
01:44:56 <K> you will wake down, rusty.
01:45:39 <hsn> Mr T3sl4 and mr Ysjoelfir this might be interesting
01:45:43 <hsn> https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/01/26/nextdfm-software-detects-pcb-design-problems-before-manufacturing/
01:46:41 <hsn> So this happened rust https://photos.app.goo.gl/PRAAwzhvXExpD31F8
01:46:54 <rust_collector> oooh, will it run on windows 98se?
01:47:27 <K> 95osr2 or bust
01:47:54 <rust_collector> so, hsn how long is that for?
01:48:14 <hsn> the whole Weekend
01:48:24 <hsn> And one working day
01:48:34 <hsn> Which is tmrw
01:48:40 <rust_collector> so you are back to be tested on monday?
01:48:50 <rust_collector> eh?
01:49:00 <rust_collector> sunday then
01:49:03 <hsn> Friday saturday are weekend
01:49:07 <hsn> Yes

01:53:03 <K> i find it curious that user interface is in english
01:57:14 <hsn> There is arabic version k
01:57:38 <hsn> But im not used to arabic gui and its annoying from my childhood ..
01:57:48 <K> ah.
01:57:51 <hsn> Eventhough i used to not read english
01:58:26 <hsn> So i change everything to english mainly because of right to left
01:58:47 <hsn> And also technical words seem familier in english ans wierd in arabic
02:02:07 <rust_collector> when I do computer things, I always use english, because I have no idea what things are called in norwegian
02:06:52 <K> it is tricky here
02:07:12 <K> some words have been quite successfuly localised, some not so much
02:40:59 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
02:59:08 <rust_collector> and, it is time for breakfast again
03:07:51 <K> oh no.
03:08:15 <rust_collector> yep, sad, but it has to be done
03:08:57 <K> have you tried not to?
03:09:14 <rust_collector> many many times
03:12:27 <K> it doesn't take, does it :/
03:12:35 <rust_collector> nope
03:12:49 <K> cruel

03:51:56 <hsn> I want to learn
03:51:56 <hsn> software fir filtering ..
03:51:56 <hsn> Some math
03:51:57 <hsn> Control theory
03:51:57 <hsn> Compensation network in op amps
03:52:09 <TheDude> nice
03:52:11 * hsn licks T3sl4 mind
03:52:13 <TheDude> you definitely should
03:52:17 <TheDude> it's good stuff
03:52:57 <hsn> TheDude: error, cpu speed doesnt support the above learnings
03:53:05 <TheDude> nonsense
03:53:23 <hsn> U think
03:53:23 <TheDude> you might need to upgrade the core libraries, but it should work
03:53:34 <TheDude> by that I mean math knowledge
03:54:14 <hsn> Which math i should start with .. it used to amuse me .. now it doesnt anymore .. i find pure math boring ..
03:54:55 <TheDude> I find pure math boring as shit as well
03:55:11 <TheDude> it's a good thing engineers only need to understand applied maths :)
03:55:27 <hsn> The laplace transformation .. i still didnt find good explaination of what really it is ..
03:56:25 <TheDude> well, at one point I knew it perfectly (when I had to do the exam), now I just know how to use it :P
03:56:58 <Ampera> hi TheDude, how are you doing?
03:57:02 <TheDude> but yes, if you want to work on control theory, you definitely need to know how to use the laplace transform
03:57:09 <TheDude> Ampera, hey, decent
03:57:40 <hsn> I mean "yeah its how your system behaves in s-domain" but meh i wanted more good understanding
03:58:34 Join: steve30 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
03:58:46 <TheDude> tbh, I don't think there is a simple, easy to understand way to explain the laplace transform
03:59:02 <TheDude> it's way too abstract to explain using something tangible
03:59:10 <TheDude> but I stand to be corrected, of course
04:00:27 <TheDude> the good thing about linear systems it that they behave very predictably
04:00:56 <TheDude> which is why laplace was created to simplify things by taking out all of the silly exponentials and sinusoids
04:01:17 <TheDude> and just make things simple and algebraic
04:01:32 <hsn> Yeah
04:01:58 <hsn> I found 2 good youtube channels for control theory
04:02:10 <TheDude> I know I've done all of the mathematical derivation for the laplace transform in the past
04:02:26 <TheDude> and went "ah, it makes perfect sense to do it like this"
04:02:30 <hsn> https://youtu.be/oBc_BHxw78s
04:02:30 <hsn> This guy
04:02:51 <TheDude> but there was no tangible was of understanding the abstraction, but rather "the math checks out, things make sense on paper"
04:03:03 <TheDude> uh
04:03:19 <TheDude> hold on, you're the guy on the forum that was asking about this yesteday?
04:03:37 <hsn> About what
04:04:08 <TheDude> https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/learning-analogue-control-theory/
04:04:18 <hsn> I did post something yesterday but it turm out stupid pranthesis error
04:04:20 <hsn> No
04:04:28 <TheDude> okay :D
04:04:41 <hsn> https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/bode-plot-of-ldo-(ti-octave)/
04:04:46 <TheDude> because I'm the first person that replied to the thread with the videos of that guy :D
04:05:15 <hsn> I will sace that thread though
04:05:23 <hsn> Save
04:06:19 <hsn> This is secon channel https://youtube.com/user/katkimshow
04:06:22 <TheDude> I like the way you matlab things, nice clean code
04:06:51 <TheDude> ah, I recall watching this lady's videos at some point
04:07:39 <TheDude> ah, neat, she has a bunch of power electronics videos
04:07:40 <hsn> Yes she has good videos ..
04:08:21 <hsn> Thanks .. i use octave .. its ugly compared to matlab but it does most jobs
04:09:00 <hsn> Matlab should give me license for educational purposes only
04:09:17 <K> all mathlab "code" iv'e seen so far is attrocious
04:09:19 <hsn> :p
04:09:35 <K> it works, but, man, is it fucking ugly
04:09:41 <TheDude> K, good, because we're talking about matlab here
04:09:49 <K> methlab
04:09:53 <K> more like
04:09:56 <TheDude> mat as in matrix, not mathematics
04:10:04 <K> i apologise
04:10:16 <hsn> TheDude:
04:10:18 <TheDude> :D
04:10:19 <hsn> U r nerd
04:10:26 <hsn> He sais meth not math
04:10:27 <hsn> Lol
04:10:30 <TheDude> yes

04:12:01 <hsn> K yeah its ugly as hell
04:12:24 <hsn> U got errors here and there .. trying to fix them is annoying
04:20:07 <TheDude> ohgod
04:20:41 <TheDude> there was this guy that I went to high school with
04:20:56 <TheDude> that died in a car accident in 2013, I think
04:21:15 <hsn> He is back?
04:21:38 <hsn> Came to u in dream?
04:21:41 <TheDude> his facebook profile remained in existence, because apparently his family didn't decide to get is shut down
04:21:50 <TheDude> I happened to stumble upon his profile again
04:22:05 <TheDude> there was this guy, presumably a family friend of his
04:22:37 <TheDude> that started off writing "1 month... <sadface>" a month after the tragic accident
04:22:53 <TheDude> that guy is still going, writing every month
04:23:01 <TheDude> he's now at 94 months O.o
04:23:37 <TheDude> jfc, at what point do you decide "maybe this was enough grief, it's probably time to let go and move on"

04:33:25 <Nothing\> hey ho
04:33:40 <Nothing\> any of you guys know much about minerology?
04:34:24 <Nothing\> i was looking at this big piece of quartz my mum has, and it's got this little yellow blob of a mineral just on top of it that fluoresces green under UV
04:34:49 <Nothing\> i also noticed a lot of gold specks on the underside of it, and iirc gold common occurs near quartz
04:34:59 <Nothing\> not a lot, but enough to be interesting
04:35:42 <Nothing\> and it also has these tiny, elongated black crystals all throughout it, very thin and long
04:36:11 <Nothing\> i can't for the life of me find any info on what any of it could be
04:36:22 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
04:36:33 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera
04:36:37 <Nothing\> hey man, how ya doing?
04:36:49 <Ampera> aeiou
04:36:57 <Nothing\> right on
04:37:05 <Kuschelpony> h,, good green fluorescense makes me nervous about uranium compounds, so dont make dust from it
04:38:14 <Kuschelpony> ah and that TS4436 is an interesting chip
04:39:27 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, that's what i was thinknig too
04:39:36 <Nothing\> and uranium is found not far from here
04:39:44 <Nothing\> not far being several hundred km
04:39:54 <Nothing\> up near ottawa, there is/was a uranium mine
04:40:16 <Nothing\> i remember when i went to my buddy's cabin up near the quebec border there were all sorts of signs protesting the mine
04:43:21 <Ampera> how are you doing Nothing\?
04:44:07 <Nothing\> i'm alright
04:44:14 <Nothing\> brought up the stuff with my shrink yesterday
04:44:20 <Ampera> you mentioned
04:44:21 <Nothing\> he thinks at the very least, i need a new therapist
04:44:32 <Nothing\> so i'm gonna mention it to me PO and try to get it in writing from him
04:44:50 <Ampera> Best of luck
04:44:56 <Nothing\> thanks
04:45:02 <Ampera> I'm just wrapping up some last few things at work
04:45:11 <Nothing\> right on
04:45:24 <Ampera> my biltong will also be ready tomorrow morning
04:45:30 <Nothing\> well, i'll leave you to that. I've got some breakfast eggs to eat :D
04:45:34 <Ampera> enjoy
04:45:40 <Nothing\> i always do!
04:53:42 <Ysjoelfir> mornings
05:04:25 * Ampera hugs Ysjoelfir
05:04:28 <Ampera> how are you doing Ysjoelfir?

05:08:10 <Nothing\> you guys see this new thing they're doing with phones now?
05:08:38 <Ampera> there's a lot of new things they're doing with phones now
05:08:58 <Nothing\> apparently instead of having a small notch taken out of the top middle to house the camera(s), they just put the camera in the upper left corner and put the screen around it
05:09:08 <Ampera> that's not new
05:09:12 <Ampera> new is under-display cameras
05:09:17 <Nothing\> which i dunno about you, but i use the upper left part of my screen more than i use the top middle
05:09:26 <Nothing\> now that's a good idea
05:09:28 <Ampera> where the camera is literally underneath the display
05:09:31 <Nothing\> yeah, these just looked stupid
05:09:39 <Ampera> however, pinhole cameras aren't always in the top left
05:09:42 <Ampera> they can be in the top right, or the center
05:09:48 <Nothing\> forget what they were called though
05:09:56 <Ampera> my phone has a pinhole camera in the dead middle, though I'd prefer it be in the top left/right or not exist at all
05:09:57 <Nothing\> no no these weren't pinhole
05:10:02 <Nothing\> they were over half an inch wide
05:10:16 <Ampera> then you must be thinking of something else
05:10:25 <Nothing\> lemme see if i can find the article
05:10:29 <Ampera> there are no pinhole cameras that large
05:11:25 <Nothing\> i think this is gonna require that i go through my history for the last few days and see if i can find it
05:11:36 <Nothing\> all that comes to mind is bezelless but that's not quite what i'm thinking
05:12:08 <Ampera> There's also pop-up and flip-over cameras in some older/cheaper phones
05:15:22 <Nothing\> PUNCH HOLE DISPLAY!
05:15:24 <Nothing\> that's it
05:15:32 <Ampera> same concept as pinhole
05:15:37 <Ampera> and they are /not/ half an inch
05:15:43 <Ampera> a few mm at most
05:16:13 <Nothing\> https://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/article_images/2018/12/honor-view20-3.jpg?itok=cBkOrlUU
05:16:16 <Nothing\> those things
05:16:24 <Nothing\> yeah it basically is pinhole, just bigger
05:16:34 <Ampera> that's not half an inch
05:16:40 <Nothing\> close enough
05:16:47 <Ampera> no that's like 1/8th of an inch
05:16:54 <Nothing\> from memory it seemed about 1cm which is just shy of half an inch
05:17:14 <Nothing\> really it's hard to tell with nothing for size reference but the phone itself
05:17:24 * Ampera knows how large phones tend to be
05:17:33 <Nothing\> but yeah it does seem much smaller
05:17:47 <Ampera> https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note20_ultra_5g-pictures-10261.php
05:17:49 <Nothing\> in any case, regardless of the size it renders the area around it useless
05:17:52 <Ampera> however the one on my phone is even smakker
05:17:53 <Ampera> *smaller
05:18:07 <Nothing\> which i think the top left corner of a screen would be used more than the top center
05:18:25 <Ampera> I disagree, though mine is so small it's almost unnoticeable
05:18:42 <Nothing\> guess it depends on the os you run and how you like your desktop
05:18:54 <Ampera> what
05:18:59 <Nothing\> until recently i had my task bar on the left side, so the top left was where my start button was
05:19:02 <Ampera> phones with pinhole cameras only run Android
05:19:06 <Ampera> wtf
05:19:10 <Ampera> these are phones not laptops
05:19:19 <Nothing\> i know i'm just using it as example
05:19:28 <Ampera> it's a bad example though
05:19:34 <Nothing\> probably
05:19:56 <Nothing\> hey, is there any good reason you can think for a can-style transistor to have epoxy on the die?
05:20:06 <Ampera> can-style?
05:20:21 <Ampera> I can think of a couple form factors that'd match that
05:21:25 <Nothing\> yeah, like in a to-204 or something
05:21:33 <Nothing\> in my case anyways
05:21:44 <Ampera> alright that's one of the ones I had in my mind
05:21:51 <Ampera> My guess would be for mounting
05:22:23 <Nothing\> yeah, i cracked open a 2n3055 and the die, along with being half the size it should be, had a glob of white epoxy on it
05:22:41 <Nothing\> luckily i could remove the epoxy easily enough with rubbing alcohol but still
05:22:55 <Nothing\> every other picture of them i've seen the die was bigger and had no epoxy
05:23:41 <Ampera> I've seen transistors that have had metal casings that look sorta like a crystal oscillator can
05:23:51 <Nothing\> plus i'm 90% certain the bond wires were just held on by said epoxy and not actually ultrasonically welded
05:23:53 <Ampera> so that was my other thought as to what a can style transistor might have been
05:24:12 <Nothing\> yeah there are many types of can style transistors
05:24:29 <Nothing\> i've got these unipolar transistors in these tiny cans, i forget the name of them
05:24:36 <Nothing\> should look em up
05:27:41 <Nothing\> should get a datasheet too, for my own records but not having a lot of luck here
05:27:48 <Nothing\> i think i'm reading the number wrong off of them
05:28:40 Quit: arch ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
05:38:09 <Nothing\> ah cool, my spectroscope came
05:38:15 <Nothing\> sorry, i was playing with that lol
05:38:38 <Nothing\> better quality than the aliexpress one, at least this one didn't arrive in pieces with the prism smashed to bits
05:39:08 <Nothing\> actually i think this one uses a diffraction grating which ooh man i should totally get one of those too
05:41:30 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
05:42:26 <Nothing\> lol sorry, Ampera ADD brain
05:42:41 <Nothing\> lemme try to find that package i was talking about that my unipolars came in
05:42:45 <Ampera> don't worry, my half asleep brain can't pay attention either
05:43:02 <Nothing\> i just got distracted by my spectroscope
05:43:07 <Nothing\> been waiting for this thing for a while
05:43:12 <Nothing\> still can't get it to work, though
05:43:44 <Nothing\> but it's even got a little scale on it so you can see what wavelengths are there
05:46:25 <Nothing\> oh sweet
05:47:19 <Nothing\> my health card (insurance) has been expired since march of last year and i've been fretting over getting it renewed since all of the offices are closed and i don't wanna do some online bullshit that takes half an hour cuz their web designers don't know how to make something intuitive
05:48:03 <Nothing\> but as it turns out, all health cards that expired after march 1st are still valid indefinitely until further notice
05:48:05 <Nothing\> :D
05:48:14 <Nothing\> covid luck strikes again!
05:56:04 <arch> made $500 off Nokia stock today
05:56:08 <arch> well, so far
06:05:34 <T3sl4> not gamestop?
06:06:09 <Nothing\> lol
06:06:23 <Nothing\> right on! i found my old pocket microscope
06:06:32 <Nothing\> too bad i just ordered another one
06:06:46 <Nothing\> but at least the new one can do up to 120x and this one only does 100x
06:08:39 <Nothing\> that works great, now i can take some microscope pics of the die of the 3055 tranny i cracked open and removed all the epoxy from
06:08:49 <Nothing\> if i can remember where i put it

06:35:40 <Nothing\> still not sure what to do with these
06:35:53 <Nothing\> make a relaxation oscillator? *shrugs*
06:45:51 <TheDude> T3sl4, did you read about that? :D
06:46:05 <TheDude> wall street bears got their honey ripped out of their hands :3
06:46:13 <T3sl4> how can i not, it's not even confined to reddit anymore
06:46:23 <TheDude> it's fucking awesome
06:46:31 <TheDude> hold on, I found the best tweet about it
06:46:52 <TheDude> https://twitter.com/wallstreetbets/status/1354208753592238084
06:46:54 <TheDude> :D

06:51:20 * steve30 pounces on to T3sl4
06:51:41 * T3sl4 puts a catvid mask on steve30
06:54:40 <TheDude> but think about it
06:55:01 <TheDude> institutional investors literally lost billions on their GME shorts
06:55:41 <TheDude> the so called "professional" traders aren't actually doing risk management, like at all
06:56:18 <TheDude> it's not fucking hard to pump massive bags into the sky when you're hand in hand with the fed
06:57:41 <TheDude> and then a bunch of retail chads come into their sandbox and shit on their castle, throw sand in their eyes and break their plastic shovels and rakes
06:57:45 <TheDude> how fucking cool is that? :D
07:01:19 <T3sl4> too bad it's not sustainable, they whine but eventually they'll change their strategy
07:01:51 <TheDude> well yeah
07:02:10 <TheDude> but it's nice that they occasionally get a FUCK YOU in their faces instead of just dishing them out to others
07:03:06 <T3sl4> yep

09:00:30 <Nothing\> cool, i just got a kit with some sterile petri dishes, cotton swabs and agar for growing bacteria
09:01:42 <Nothing\> i was thinking, my mom just get a superfluous script for antibiotics (amoxicillin) which come conveniently enough as a powder inside a gel cap, so i was thinking I could sprinkle some of that on one dish, and have another as a control and see if/how much it affects the growth
09:02:59 <Nothing\> actually, i've still got some metronidazole, too. But they're solid tablets, though I could probably crush em up with my mortar and pestle
09:03:25 <Nothing\> i'd probably only need like half a tablet anyways

09:36:18 <cornbread> Hi, there
09:38:41 <TheDude> hey
09:40:23 <cornbread> Im new to the blog, Ive watched a few of daves videos in the past and enjoyed them but havent lurked in the forms at all until now
09:40:31 <cornbread> thought id say hi anyhow
09:40:39 <TheDude> neat
09:40:40 <TheDude> hello :)
09:41:10 <TheDude> you're not likely ever going to see the blog host Dave in here
09:41:19 <cornbread> I figure hes busy
09:41:35 <TheDude> but there's a bunch of other people hanging around often, so consider sticking around
09:41:44 <TheDude> mostly nerds
09:41:55 <cornbread> the way I like it
09:41:59 <TheDude> although our conversations are not limited to nerd shit :D
09:42:27 <TheDude> in fact, most of the conversations are anything but technical stuff
09:42:32 <cornbread> ive only used IRC once or twice in the past? do I view channels with backslash commands?
09:42:36 <cornbread> really im surprised
09:43:10 <TheDude> IRC uses forward slash, as far as I am aware
09:43:23 <TheDude> but yeah, depends entirely on the client

10:05:03 <c0rnbr34d> anyone here do RF design?
10:05:49 <TheDude> not that I'm currently aware
10:05:53 <c0rnbr34d> its somthing id really like to get into but Ive hit a wall at maxwells equations and am having to teach myself calc as a result
10:05:57 <c0rnbr34d> thats a shame
10:06:12 <c0rnbr34d> im wondering just *how* math hevy it truely is
10:06:18 <TheDude> there were some blokes that were into RF on the other eevblog channel, but I haven't seen them around in a while
10:06:36 <c0rnbr34d> which channel was that?
10:06:47 <TheDude> #eevblog on afternet
10:06:52 <c0rnbr34d> ah
10:07:06 <c0rnbr34d> ill stick around here for a bit as I figure out weechat
10:07:06 <TheDude> this austnet bullshit was forced by the blog host Dave
10:07:16 <TheDude> and now the community is practically split in two
10:07:27 <TheDude> well, many people are on both channels, but yeah
10:07:45 <c0rnbr34d> why did he do that?
10:10:16 <TheDude> because he felt like he needed to support the australian servers
10:10:44 <TheDude> even though he never actually visits the irc channel
10:11:02 <TheDude> and the fact that austnet kinda sucks
10:11:23 <TheDude> but the website now directs the people to this channel, so there you have it
10:14:07 <T3sl4> well, you don't have to do nuts and bolts wave equations all the time, but it's the foundation for transmission lines and such, so pays to understand
10:14:29 <T3sl4> also, RF stuff is more about impedances, matching, and networks
10:14:42 <T3sl4> the transmission lines and waves get into it when you need to design the networks, or antennas
10:15:48 <c0rnbr34d> power factor dosent seem too dificult
10:16:16 <c0rnbr34d> its mostly when I start seeing curvy traces, antannas, and wave guides that get spooked
10:22:34 <T3sl4> curvy traces aren't that bad, you just have to keep track of 1/4 wavelengths, and be familiar with typical networks (stubs, 1/4 wave transformers, filters; impedance matching between different trace widths; etc.)
10:23:06 <T3sl4> antennas are... kinda the same thing, but in free space, and you need to mind more dimensions, since, well, it's space, not traces on a ground plane
10:23:33 <T3sl4> most are just resonant, and most multiband ones are just multiply resonant (e.g. your typical "F" antenna used in cellphones)
10:24:08 <T3sl4> and the wideband ones are easily understood in terms of their symmetry (scale invariance)
10:24:41 <T3sl4> maybe that's not so easy after all, there's topology and symmetry underlying those things :P
10:25:53 <T3sl4> and waveguides are just curled up transmission lines... sorta :P
10:26:43 <T3sl4> (they're usually used in such a way that they can be treated as one-dimensional, but there are higher modes that couple in different ways and at different frequencies, and velocities)
10:28:24 <c0rnbr34d> intresting
10:28:34 <c0rnbr34d> that dosent sound toooo unintuitive
10:30:38 * electrohead eats c0rnbr34d
10:31:39 <electrohead> the RF world isn't too bad
10:32:17 <electrohead> just tell yourself not to get overwhelmed, and.. you won't get overwhelmed
10:39:20 <coppice_> can I tell myself to never make a mistake, and never make a mistake?
10:40:57 <electrohead> coppice_: that depends :P
10:41:40 <electrohead> that's what I tell myself, anyways; whenever I get stumped, I just take (it) one step at a time
10:57:23 <c0rnbr34d> I only ask becuase I have no formal education
10:57:42 <Halcyon> Morning
10:57:45 <Halcyon> *rubs eyes*
10:57:49 <c0rnbr34d> didnt want to go to college for moral reasons, got out of HS a couple years ago
10:58:19 <c0rnbr34d> ohms, kirchovs, and alike were easy just picked up a textbook from the library
10:58:25 <c0rnbr34d> art of electronics has been great
10:58:35 <c0rnbr34d> there just seems to be less resources online on RF stuff
10:58:44 <c0rnbr34d> perhaps im looking in the wrong places
10:58:47 <TheDude> kirchoff is pronounced as kirk-off
10:58:59 <c0rnbr34d> really
10:59:02 <c0rnbr34d> intresting
10:59:03 <TheDude> kerr-choff is absolute rubbish
10:59:08 <c0rnbr34d> ive never heard it prounounced
10:59:18 <TheDude> the guy is rolling in his grave when people mispronounce is like that
10:59:33 <c0rnbr34d> *spinning in the grave*
10:59:43 <c0rnbr34d> its sorta like saying ohmage right?
11:00:04 <TheDude> that sounds very wrong, yes
11:00:10 <TheDude> resistance, please
11:01:45 * Halcyon prods electrohead proddingly
11:03:42 <c0rnbr34d> heh
11:04:09 <c0rnbr34d> so dose kicad suck or am I just using it wrong?
11:04:58 <TheDude> it's supposedly not absolutely terrible now, from what I'm told
11:05:10 <c0rnbr34d> im sure its fine for basic layouts
11:05:15 <TheDude> I haven't actually tried using it :D
11:05:25 <c0rnbr34d> but im pretty OCD about symetry and predefined courtyards
11:05:29 <TheDude> nah, it's fine even for more complex layouts
11:05:35 <c0rnbr34d> really?
11:05:46 <TheDude> yeah, I've seen 6 layer boards done with it
11:05:55 <TheDude> my go-to is Altium, though
11:06:11 <c0rnbr34d> I got pissed at it becuase I couldnt specifiy irregular polyhedra as my solderpads
11:06:17 <c0rnbr34d> im impressed
11:06:26 <c0rnbr34d> do you have altium from work?
11:07:13 <TheDude> nah, I have licenses from back when I was still in college
11:07:21 <c0rnbr34d> nice
11:07:30 <TheDude> yeah, can't complain :
11:07:34 <TheDude> :D*
11:07:43 <c0rnbr34d> never used anything but kicad it just seems limted at times
11:07:51 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
11:07:57 <TheDude> I work as an embedded developer rn
11:07:58 <c0rnbr34d> that said im not the best desighned
11:08:17 <TheDude> I have altium with a shared license on the work computer
11:08:32 <c0rnbr34d> can you drill into the g10?
11:08:34 <TheDude> but it's been a while since I've last used it seriously at work
11:08:45 <c0rnbr34d> like specify cut outs that dont go all the way through?
11:08:48 <TheDude> what is a g10?
11:09:15 <c0rnbr34d> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-10_(material)
11:09:39 <TheDude> ah okay
11:09:57 * electrohead prods Halcyon
11:10:00 <Halcyon> :D
11:10:01 <TheDude> you can specify PCB milling to non-full depth
11:10:07 <TheDude> but it's expensive as sin to manufacture
11:10:09 <Halcyon> electrohead: I have a cooking channel for you... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JxPepmStxw
11:10:15 <Halcyon> This guy is such a typical aussie
11:10:19 <TheDude> because they can't stack the boards when doing it, but rather do it one by one
11:10:27 <c0rnbr34d> its pretty strong stuff (bc it has to surive reflow and such) so I was thinking of making a jig out of it
11:10:32 <TheDude> so unless you REALLY need it, avoid that shit
11:10:53 <c0rnbr34d> that way my work wouldnt have to get a machine shop, we could just send the gerbers to our boardhouse
11:10:58 <TheDude> "FR-4 has replaced G-10 in most consumer electronics. It uses a flame-retardant brominated epoxy."
11:11:27 <TheDude> ask the PCB fab if they're capable of doing that
11:11:36 <c0rnbr34d> but kicad wont let me drill part through so I would have to do a two boards and then stack them together with some vias and pins
11:11:42 <TheDude> if they don't offer fancy services, they will likely decline that
11:11:44 <c0rnbr34d> our boards are probably fr4
11:12:04 <c0rnbr34d> its more common everyone at works just says g10 becuase its like a grandfathered term or somthing
11:12:10 <TheDude> fr-4 is the industry standard core material, yeah
11:12:12 <electrohead> Halcyon: oh, I've seen this dude already quite some time ago
11:12:18 <Halcyon> Fuck he's funny
11:12:22 <electrohead> he's .. different, lmfao
11:12:29 <electrohead> love it though :p
11:12:46 <c0rnbr34d> dose anyone have experiance with PXI?
11:12:48 <Halcyon> I thought he was a joke at first, until I realised he can actually cook and released a cook book
11:12:58 <electrohead> he released a cook book?
11:13:00 <electrohead> that's amazing
11:13:02 <Halcyon> Yup
11:13:19 <TheDude> alright, I should probably get to bed now
11:13:27 <TheDude> I have to wake up in like 5 hours

11:15:09 <c0rnbr34d> sorry for the spam
11:15:21 <rust_collector> woohoo! irssi
11:15:22 <electrohead> Halcyon: I've purchased binging with babish's book
11:15:27 <Halcyon> Oh nice
11:15:30 <Halcyon> He does some good stuff too
11:15:37 <electrohead> irssi is nice, but I'm a weechat user :p
11:15:49 <c0rnbr341> why do you perfer weechat?
11:15:50 <Halcyon> Pisschat?
11:15:51 <Halcyon> :P
11:15:56 <electrohead> shh
11:15:59 <electrohead> lol
11:16:08 <Halcyon> I just use Hexchat
11:16:08 <electrohead> c0rnbr341: honestly, I've grown to like it more
11:16:08 <c0rnbr341> I dont know much aabout either but they seem like the most popular options
11:16:09 <Halcyon> *shrug*
11:16:10 <rust_collector> because it is very hipster, and has all the bloat
11:16:27 <electrohead> rust_collector: you'll call anything hipster
11:16:44 <c0rnbr341> irssi dose seem more minimal, is it extensible to have side bar and highlighting and stuff?
11:16:46 <rust_collector> that is just because you just hear what I say HERE
11:16:48 <electrohead> I like the layout and customization options, along with the plugin support
11:17:02 <rust_collector> you can add a lot of stuff to irssi, if you want
11:17:18 <c0rnbr341> ima try them both out
11:17:21 <electrohead> yeah I know :p
11:17:39 <rust_collector> have you tried F-irc?
11:17:40 <c0rnbr341> weechat looks pretty gamer with my ligatures ngl
11:17:43 <c0rnbr341> no
11:17:51 <c0rnbr341> whats good about it?
11:17:54 <rust_collector> it is not super awesome, but it has a nice website

11:18:09 <c0rnbr341> thanks
11:18:16 <Halcyon> Where are you from?
11:18:24 <rust_collector> Halcyon is the guy who will ban you
11:18:33 <Halcyon> Oh please, when do I ban anyone?
11:18:37 <c0rnbr341> ive used irc in middle school but that was back when I ran windows so it wasnt cli
11:18:41 <c0rnbr341> im from the bay area
11:18:45 <Halcyon> Oh neat
11:18:49 <c0rnbr341> moving two wyoming in the coming weeks
11:18:51 <electrohead> pennsylvania, here
11:18:56 <c0rnbr341> nice nice
11:19:02 <Halcyon> I'm in Sydney
11:19:11 <Halcyon> I have the day off from work because I have a sore throat :(
11:19:16 <c0rnbr341> its a hard choice becuase im giving up any career chances as an EE but I thik its worth it
11:19:23 <electrohead> he has covid!
11:19:24 <c0rnbr341> I just quit my job last week to move
11:19:34 <Halcyon> electrohead: Nah, test came back negative, it's just a cold
11:19:42 <c0rnbr341> so Ive been shell scrippting all day, thats good
11:19:49 <electrohead> that's a good thing :p
11:20:00 <rust_collector> electrohead, it is just that they stick q-tips or something down his throat every day
11:20:04 <Halcyon> Sounds like a pretty drastic move, what made you decide to move to Wyoming?
11:20:20 * electrohead throws python at c0rnbr341
11:20:21 <Halcyon> rust_collector, we don't do the q-tip/nose thing at work
11:20:30 <Halcyon> We have saliva tests
11:20:31 <electrohead> welcome to the channel, by the way
11:20:50 <Halcyon> They are supposed to be better at detecting asymptomatic cases
11:20:55 <c0rnbr341> how do I @ people in IRC do I just type the user with a collen or is there a more effecient method
11:20:56 <rust_collector> good, because I think I said throat. and if they do that thru the nose, I think I will stay at home
11:20:57 <Halcyon> Plus they are much easier
11:21:20 <electrohead> How do you do what?
11:21:30 <rust_collector> c0rnbr341,
11:21:34 <Halcyon> You can tab-complete usernames c0rnbr341
11:21:40 <c0rnbr341> Halcyon: im kinda conspiracyey about the city... the bot net scares me I want no wifi no phone nothing else
11:21:42 <rust_collector> start the name, and tab
11:21:44 <c0rnbr341> ah thank you
11:21:49 <Halcyon> Otherwise there is a query function to send PM's
11:21:57 <c0rnbr341> gotchya
11:22:13 <Halcyon> Bot net?
11:22:58 <c0rnbr341> ideally Id have everything on an open FPGA running riscV or alike with a fully open micro kernal and only free software
11:23:03 <c0rnbr341> of course thats the ideal
11:23:24 <c0rnbr341> in reality it will look more like me and my librebooted thinkpad in a cabbin in the woods
11:24:00 <electrohead> what happened?
11:24:38 <c0rnbr341> nothing really, im just stallmany about my computers
11:24:56 <c0rnbr341> I want everything to be free and open, dont like the idea of google and the feds listening in
11:25:06 <electrohead> Heh.

11:26:21 <Ampera> uwu
11:26:28 <electrohead> Fucking goof, lol
11:26:42 <electrohead> c0rnbr341: Yeah, open source software is very nice
11:26:57 <rust_collector> I am ok, Ampera
11:27:08 <c0rnbr341> that said Ive done nothing to secure this IRC but what can you do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
11:27:16 <Ampera> rust_collector, I said my least favorite friends, fuck off
11:27:33 <Ampera> I like you far too much to care
11:27:36 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera
11:27:38 * Halcyon licks

11:27:40 <rust_collector> sorry
11:27:48 <rust_collector> topic?
11:27:57 <Ampera> Hey Halcyon, was afraid you might have done a police hit and run
11:28:01 <Ampera> haha topic
11:28:01 <Halcyon> There are no topics here c0rnbr341
11:28:11 <Ampera> only topical
11:28:18 * Ampera feels Halcyon's skin
11:28:25 <Halcyon> Hehehe :P
11:28:26 <c0rnbr341> anyone used PXI? I understand you can only use PXI in LXI if all the PXI modules are of the same OEM, is there a way around this?
11:28:36 <Halcyon> I've used PXE ? :P
11:29:08 <electrohead> PCI extensions for instrumentation
11:29:21 <electrohead> :p
11:29:30 <Ampera> PXE is neat
11:29:42 <electrohead> c0rnbr341: I haven't, sorry
11:29:48 <c0rnbr341> thats fine
11:29:53 <rust_collector> can we just say no?
11:29:56 <Ampera> except some fucking weirdos call it "pixie"
11:30:05 <c0rnbr341> id like to make my own setup but id like to use it with lxi
11:30:10 <Ampera> which is almost as dumb as calling SCSI "sexy"
11:30:16 <c0rnbr341> dont know anything about pxe
11:30:29 <Halcyon> I call it "Pixie" but I hate that I do
11:30:38 <Halcyon> It's as retarded as calling SQL "Sequel"
11:30:39 <Ampera> I hate you too, Halcyon
11:30:52 <c0rnbr341> you dont call it sexy?
11:31:06 <Ampera> not really, because SEQUEL was its original name iirc
11:31:06 <c0rnbr341> you dont call it sequal?
11:31:10 <electrohead> I'll call Halcyon sexy all day, every day
11:31:19 <c0rnbr341> ^
11:31:19 <c0rnbr341> nice
11:31:25 <electrohead> Lol
11:31:28 <Halcyon> SEQUEL was a different (but similar) language back in the 50's I think?
11:31:32 <Halcyon> SQL came after
11:31:48 <Halcyon> Aww thanks electrohead :)
11:31:48 <electrohead> c0rnbr341: we're all goofballs in here, just a heads up
11:31:49 <Ampera> still
11:31:57 <Ampera> there's more to it than pixie
11:32:10 * electrohead breaks out the pixie dust
11:32:12 <Ampera> you only call it pixie because you're gay
11:32:19 <Halcyon> Homophobe
11:32:29 <Ampera> fuck gay people are scary
11:32:38 <c0rnbr34d> kek
11:32:39 <Ampera> what with being actually happy with life and shit
11:32:50 <c0rnbr34d> I want all my belonings in SQL dont @ me
11:33:36 <Halcyon> I still need to try Ysjoelfir's chicken boob recipe. I might make it tonight
11:33:47 <c0rnbr34d> >making food
11:33:50 <c0rnbr34d> im impressed
11:33:54 <electrohead> chicken boob recipe?
11:33:57 <c0rnbr34d> your more evolved than me ngl
11:34:11 <c0rnbr34d> I can make salad out of a bag...
11:34:44 <Ampera> SELECT * FROM Halcyon INTO StupidBirdCorner
11:34:47 <Ampera> DROP TABLE Halcyon
11:34:48 <Halcyon> electrohead, yeh like a curry type thing
11:35:07 <Halcyon> c0rnbr34d, several of us here cook quite a bit
11:35:16 <c0rnbr34d> I just
11:35:17 <Ampera> and a few of us are actually any good at it
11:35:25 <Halcyon> :P
11:35:26 <c0rnbr34d> I need like more specific cooking instructions
11:35:27 <Ampera> Halcyon, did I mention I was making biltong?
11:35:32 <Halcyon> Yeh you did
11:35:39 <Ampera> did I show you pictures?
11:35:43 <Halcyon> Not yet
11:35:47 <c0rnbr34d> If it was very narrowly deffined I could probably do it
11:35:56 <Halcyon> Do you have one of those vacuum food preserver things?

11:36:39 <Ampera> will be done tomorrow morning
11:36:47 <Halcyon> c0rnbr34d: They wouldn't have seen any messages. IRC doesn't cache messages for new users that join.
11:36:49 <Ampera> (a bit under 10 hours)
11:37:02 <c0rnbr34d> o
11:37:03 <Halcyon> They only see what happens after they join. Which is why we call Ampera an asshole when his internet drops out :P
11:37:13 <Ampera> my internet never drops out
11:37:18 <c0rnbr34d> shiet
11:37:19 <Ampera> it's probably more stable than yours, Halcyon
11:37:29 <Halcyon> They look delicious Ampera, what's the spice rub?
11:37:34 <c0rnbr34d> thats harsh
11:37:39 <Halcyon> Actually my internet is stable, but I just wish it were faster.
11:37:42 <Ampera> standard biltong recipe
11:37:42 <c0rnbr34d> I cant open these
11:37:47 <Ampera> salt, pepper, ground coriander, malt vinegar
11:37:50 <c0rnbr34d> not sure why
11:38:09 <Ampera> c0rnbr34d, I'd be willing to cook for you if you can make me figure out how the fuck x86 ASM is supposed to even work
11:38:20 <Ampera> it's like an alien language designed by an alien to look like an alien language
11:38:35 <c0rnbr34d> your gonna be on your own on that one, x86 is kinda retrated
11:38:43 <Ampera> retrated
11:38:46 <c0rnbr34d> you should start with somthing risc based
11:38:51 <Ampera> fuck RISC, RISC is for cunts
11:38:51 <Halcyon> That's OK, Ampera is kind of retarded too
11:38:57 * Ampera hugs 68k ASM
11:38:58 <c0rnbr34d> litteraly
11:39:00 <c0rnbr34d> y
11:39:06 <Halcyon> Arguably so :P
11:39:10 <Halcyon> But we love him anyway
11:39:19 <Ampera> I'm not the upside downy
11:39:21 Join: Octane_ ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
11:39:24 <Halcyon> Hahaha
11:39:31 <Ampera> downy soft
11:39:34 <c0rnbr34d> Ampera: try waking the fuck up
11:39:35 <Halcyon> :P
11:39:41 <c0rnbr34d> x86 is bloat
11:39:41 <Ampera> I'm already woke
11:40:01 <c0rnbr34d> what WM do you guys use?
11:40:06 <electrohead> awesome WM
11:40:16 <Ampera> c0rnbr34d, I'll jump ship to RISC the moment it can replace my 3950X for the same price and with a platform at least as open as PC compatibles
11:40:18 <Ampera> windowmaker
11:40:29 <electrohead> Woo, 15 minutes until I can close and go home
11:40:34 <c0rnbr34d> heh
11:40:43 <Halcyon> electrohead, yay!
11:40:52 <c0rnbr34d> i switched to dwm from I3 recently and its been kinda fun
11:41:00 <c0rnbr34d> have any of you used wayland?
11:41:04 <Ampera> i3 and dwm don't have enough features for me
11:41:05 <electrohead> what distro do you use?
11:41:06 <Ampera> wayland is ass
11:41:12 <c0rnbr34d> archlabs
11:41:12 <Halcyon> 20 minutes and it's midday here, I could crack open a wine, might help numb my throat a bit
11:41:13 Quit: Octane ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
11:41:25 <c0rnbr34d> Halcyon: do it
11:41:32 <Ampera> what is archlabs
11:41:40 <c0rnbr34d> im running out of whiskey atm
11:41:43 <c0rnbr34d> its arch basicly
11:41:48 <Ampera> you fool
11:41:49 <c0rnbr34d> themed like bunson labs
11:41:50 <electrohead> Just install arch?
11:41:50 <Ampera> you've awoken him
11:41:52 <rust_collector> crucchbang on arch, sort of
11:42:06 <Ampera> you've summoned the arch
11:42:08 <c0rnbr34d> its just got a nice what do you call it
11:42:13 <c0rnbr34d> fake cli gui
11:42:18 <Ampera> wha
11:42:20 <c0rnbr34d> cant rememebr what its called
11:42:23 <Ampera> ok now I gotta google this
11:42:27 * electrohead slaps the fakeness out of c0rnbr34d
11:42:55 <c0rnbr34d> kek
11:42:56 <Ampera> so it's a bloated arch
11:42:56 <c0rnbr34d> um
11:43:02 <c0rnbr34d> yeahh
11:43:05 <c0rnbr34d> i slim it a bit
11:43:06 <Ampera> like manjaro but with even less of a reason to exist
11:43:10 <c0rnbr34d> no
11:43:12 <rust_collector> did you use munchwhistle, when it was still a thing?
11:43:14 <c0rnbr34d> manjaro is actuall bloar
11:43:15 <electrohead> lol
11:43:20 <Halcyon> Oi, Manjaro is awesome
11:43:23 <c0rnbr34d> eh
11:43:25 <Ampera> manjaro is for cunts
11:43:29 <c0rnbr34d> its bloated archlabs
11:43:33 <Halcyon> Then why aren't you running it?
11:43:37 <Halcyon> You're kind of cunty yourself
11:43:38 <c0rnbr34d> also I hate kde and xfce
11:43:41 <MrMobodies> Hello
11:43:43 <Ampera> because I don't have a cunt yet
11:43:45 <c0rnbr34d> floating windows are yuckers
11:43:47 <Ampera> hi MrMobodies how are you
11:43:47 <Halcyon> Morning MrMobodies
11:43:57 <Ampera> I'll switch to i3 when I can tile windows independently of other windows
11:44:08 <c0rnbr34d> wdym?
11:44:10 <MrMobodies> very pleased about Windowmaker and LXDE
11:44:10 <Ampera> right now it's completely impossible to use it properly
11:44:22 <MrMobodies> oops I mean KDE
11:44:22 <Ampera> so with i3, windows tile only when you have multiple windows, otherwise it uses the whole screen
11:44:24 <MrMobodies> silly me
11:44:31 <c0rnbr34d> like have tilled and floating?
11:44:42 <c0rnbr34d> you can float windows independently with i3
11:44:43 <Ampera> and without switching the entire workspace, you can't switch tiled windows
11:44:45 <rust_collector> manual tiling?
11:44:53 <Ampera> let me give you an example
11:44:54 <c0rnbr34d> and if you have gaps its basicly the same
11:44:59 <Ampera> I have an ultrauiltrawide, 32:9
11:45:15 <Ampera> on windowmaker, I have a hotkey so I can maximize half left and half right
11:45:26 <Ampera> since it's all floating, I can easily alt+tab and switch windows, and treat the display like two monitors
11:45:29 <Ampera> on i3 you just can't do that
11:45:54 <Ampera> there is no way to snap the size of a floating window to half the screen, and if you use tiling, the entire point of i3, it all breaks the moment you have more than two windows on the monitor
11:45:58 <c0rnbr34d> you can do that on dwm with moncale mode
11:45:58 <Ampera> (or less than two)
11:46:09 <Ampera> or I can do it with windowmaker, which is already heaven on earth
11:46:17 <c0rnbr34d> you have a master on one side and everything is stacked ontop of itself on the right
11:46:32 <c0rnbr34d> ive never used window maker
11:46:39 <Ampera> really simple and easy menu builder, flexible appicon and miniwindow system, and it's very easily skinnable
11:46:49 <c0rnbr34d> hm
11:47:08 <c0rnbr34d> I havent used dwm with 2 monitors yet so im not sure how it will hold up
11:47:19 <Ampera> https://amperaa.net/cdn/projects/scrot15.png
11:47:22 <Ampera> I have four monitors
11:47:30 <rust_collector> I have not had any problems with that on dwm
11:47:34 <Ampera> this was my old one which is now a secondary monitor
11:47:49 <Ampera> windowmaker makes it really easy to manage multi monitor setups
11:48:02 <Halcyon> I'm thinking maybe this for dinner: https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/lamb-gozleme-one-pan-pie-recipe/aoi6eguq
11:48:19 <Halcyon> Nice and easy and quick
11:48:47 <Ampera> lamb is stupid expensive here
11:49:02 <Ampera> it's easily more expensive than steak
11:49:03 <rust_collector> lamb is stupid everywhere
11:49:22 <c0rnbr34d> is the screenshot you sent me with windowmaker?
11:49:32 <Ampera> it is windowmaker
11:49:46 <Ampera> no windows, it's just something I had laying around
11:50:28 <c0rnbr34d> really
11:50:35 <c0rnbr34d> that is an intresting windows rice
11:50:41 <Ampera> rice?
11:50:47 <c0rnbr34d> customization
11:50:50 <Halcyon> Lamb is fairly reasonable here, About AUD$11.50 kilogram for a leg
11:50:56 <Halcyon> But you could use any mince.
11:50:57 <Ampera> yeah I'm familiar with the term, but there's not much customization
11:51:46 <c0rnbr34d> sorry I was confused
11:52:03 <electrohead> It's been a while since I had lamb
11:52:08 <c0rnbr34d> for some reason I thought you were saying it was windows not windowmaker
11:52:12 <electrohead> Tastes so good
11:52:14 <c0rnbr34d> and that did not look like windows
11:52:18 <Halcyon> Lamb shanks in the slow cooker are my favourite
11:52:27 <c0rnbr34d> ive never seen window maker beforwe
11:52:41 <rust_collector> I had blackbox on windows, that confused me some times
11:52:42 <Ampera> https://amperaa.net/cdn/projects/2021-01-27-195155_1920x1080_scrot.png
11:52:45 <Ampera> here's my laptop right now
11:52:53 <Ampera> c0rnbr34d, I never said it was windows
11:53:13 <Ampera> ah, I see the confusion
11:53:13 <c0rnbr34d> ik i was just being dumb
11:53:16 <c0rnbr34d> yeah
11:53:16 <MrMobodies> the menus can be customized easily and very well and in good taste
11:53:16 <Ampera> I meant I had no windows open
11:53:23 <c0rnbr34d> right
11:53:28 <c0rnbr34d> i understand nopw
11:54:32 <MrMobodies> here, how can I add programs to the menu
11:54:39 <MrMobodies> aah got to read the manual I suppose
11:54:41 <Ampera> I've tried other wm's/de's, but I just can't find one that's as nice as windowmaker
11:55:18 <electrohead> already, time to start closing the store up, I shall be back later on
11:55:26 <electrohead> err
11:55:28 <electrohead> alrighty*
11:55:56 <electrohead> I'm off tomorrow, so taking some beer home :P
11:56:07 <Ampera> you drunkard!
11:56:15 <Ampera> alcohol is sinful
11:56:22 <electrohead> You're sinful.
11:56:26 <electrohead> :p
11:56:32 <Ampera> extravagantly, but alcohol is worse
11:56:39 <electrohead> No, you're a towel.
11:56:48 <Ampera> that's racist
11:56:52 <electrohead> lol
11:57:00 <electrohead> alright, shall be back then
11:57:04 <Ampera> ciao
11:57:18 <rust_collector> chaos!
11:57:19 <MrMobodies> me looking at what gtk3 did was worse, that's why I had a few beers some nights ago
11:57:29 <MrMobodies> now I am back to my tea and coffee
11:57:47 <Ampera> gtk is a crime against software
11:57:59 <MrMobodies> I found something supporting that too
11:58:19 <c0rnbr34d> ncmpcpp is being bad
11:58:45 Quit: c0rnbr341 ([email protected]) Quit: Lost terminal
11:59:00 <MrMobodies> https://linuxreviews.org/GNOME_Developers_have_Made_Their_Moves_against_Themes
11:59:03 <c0rnbr34d> this insubordinance will not be tolerated
11:59:14 <MrMobodies> and now they're wanting to remove the menu bars
11:59:19 <MrMobodies> into these popup things
12:00:13 <MrMobodies> I think I prefer WindowMaker very much compared to that Gnome3 unity/activites thing many years ago when it comes to tiles
12:00:45 <MrMobodies> I find for some reason WindowMakerstuff looks to me better designed
12:01:44 <rust_collector> i think you should try evilwm. it is a floating wm, pretty basic. does manage windows
12:02:07 <MrMobodies> oooh rustcollector, I set that KDE up exactly the way I want
12:02:33 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/m6tmm9ng.jpg
12:02:40 <rust_collector> ok, if you did that, i guess it is what you want now, lol
12:02:49 <MrMobodies> got rid of most of the annoying niggly stuff
12:02:59 <MrMobodies> I can mount the Pfsense drives to edit
12:03:11 <MrMobodies> and WindowMaker is what I am going to use for my other stuff
12:03:57 <MrMobodies> sorry that was the thumbnail
12:03:58 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/m6tmm9n.jpg
12:04:05 <rust_collector> I think you are very very weird, if you install kde, just to run a file manager, but use windowmaker for normal use, lol
12:04:27 <MrMobodies> well I have lots of good choices
12:04:41 <rust_collector> but, if it does what you want, who cares
12:04:47 <MrMobodies> sorry if I am weired like that
12:05:33 <rust_collector> nah, it is your problem, except that you do not have a problem with it
12:05:45 <MrMobodies> nope it is what I am use to
12:05:55 <MrMobodies> yeh my problem too
12:06:16 <MrMobodies> but i works well for me and I don't often make mistakes like I use to decades ago
12:06:29 <MrMobodies> I always prepare of copy first
12:06:54 <MrMobodies> and yes i might be lazy to in that respect
12:07:05 <MrMobodies> but you all made me happy by helping me
12:07:30 <rust_collector> Ampera, does the bsds put a date on when a file was created? or do you just see the last time it was changed?
12:07:39 <Ampera> uhhhhhhh
12:07:57 <Ampera> I don't know off the top of my head what Linux even does, but my guess would be it depends on the filesystem used
12:07:58 <MrMobodies> strangely Dolphins shows that but not PcManFM and Caja
12:08:17 <Ampera> if the filesystem supports it, the BSD's will probably honor that implementation
12:08:53 * Halcyon coughs at Ampera
12:09:01 * Ampera sneezes at Halcyon
12:09:05 <Ampera> how are you doing Halcyon
12:09:16 <Halcyon> Fine. I have a cold though :(
12:09:21 <Halcyon> Which is why I'm off work today
12:09:21 <Ampera> haha covid
12:09:25 <Ampera> fuckerrrrrr
12:09:26 <Halcyon> It's not covid
12:09:30 <Ampera> bat soup eaterrrrrr
12:09:33 <rust_collector> yes it is
12:09:34 <Halcyon> We don't have covid here, we're pure
12:09:40 <Ampera> pure shit more like
12:09:40 <rust_collector> it is that new version
12:09:43 <Halcyon> :P
12:09:53 <Ampera> why did you go get yourself a cold
12:09:56 <rust_collector> ok, so you put a different name on it, but it still is
12:09:58 <Ampera> don't you know those things are annoying?
12:10:05 <Halcyon> I didn't ask for it, someone gave it to me
12:10:21 <Halcyon> It's mild, but my throat is all scratchy so I didn't sleep properly
12:10:38 <Ampera> what do you think of your government deciding to make sharing news online for free illegal
12:10:57 <rust_collector> do you open presents from the old lady who smells slightly like pee, just to be nice around christmas, or do you just say thanks, and bin it
12:11:03 <Halcyon> *shrug* Most news is bullshit anyway
12:11:04 <Ampera> or rather, allow news organizations to charge for the right to link to their content
12:11:18 <Ampera> it's a complete travesty against the entire concept of the world wide web to begin with
12:11:22 <Halcyon> Ampera, that's not far from what they are doing now, with paywalls etc...
12:11:36 <Halcyon> I really don't care. I think it will be the end of those companies as people switch off
12:11:45 <Halcyon> There will always be free sources of news
12:12:05 <Ampera> no, it means that ANY WEBSITE cannot with zero liability hyperlink to a news article
12:12:14 <Halcyon> Good luck enforcing it
12:12:16 <Ampera> as any news website can demand payment for that
12:12:19 <Halcyon> It would be like banning bittorrent
12:12:41 <Halcyon> I'd say some crusty idiot who doesn't understand technology, came up with this crap
12:12:46 <Halcyon> It won't last, mark my words
12:12:59 <Ampera> I just hope our constitution is enough to protect us from idiots like that putting these sorts of laws together
12:13:36 <Halcyon> You have enough dumb laws there dispite your constitution, so I wouldn't bet on it
12:13:41 <Ampera> such as
12:13:51 <Halcyon> As I said, I think this will have minimal impact. It's all about money
12:13:53 <Halcyon> It always is
12:14:41 <Ampera> I mean we have dumb laws, but few /this/ dumb
12:14:48 <Ampera> not even the DMCA is this bad
12:14:57 <Halcyon> Every country has dumb laws like this
12:15:15 <Halcyon> But, as I said, law or not, I think this won't have the impact that these news companies wanted
12:15:23 <Halcyon> People will just find independant, free sources of news
12:15:37 <Halcyon> The big companies owned by Fairfax etc... have been struggling for a long time
12:16:22 <Ampera> it's not about that, it makes web indexes infeasible to operate
12:16:35 <Ampera> because any dickhole can come along claiming to be a news site and demand royaltys
12:16:41 <Halcyon> They just won't show content hosted by those companies who decide to charge for it
12:16:44 <MrMobodies> deciding to make news illegal... I wonder would that also include stock photos.
12:17:03 <Halcyon> In the end, I think it will hurt those companies' bottom line
12:17:08 <MrMobodies> oops worded that wrongly news sharing sorry
12:17:09 <Ampera> I'd be interested to know the enforcement specifics, if royalties could sill be demanded despite a takedown
12:17:19 <Halcyon> *shrug*
12:17:31 <Ampera> Someone's lobbying for this shit
12:18:04 * T3sl4 smells Halcyon
12:18:17 <Halcyon> Well I'd imagine news companies could enter into a contract, which would prevent them from later seeking costs
12:18:31 <Halcyon> T3sl4, I smell like CK One
12:18:36 <T3sl4> ew
12:18:58 <T3sl4> he knows a perfume/cologne name, he must be gay
12:19:01 <Halcyon> I can actually see good and bad things with this new law, it's not all doom and gloom
12:19:29 <Ampera> I'd rather the WWW's original goal of freely linkable sites not be shit on
12:19:31 <Halcyon> I think we'll see further collapse of the big news sources and increased visibility of the smaller, indepentant companies who choose not to charge for their news
12:19:52 <Ampera> The effect outweights the cost
12:19:55 <Halcyon> T3sl4, I have 3-4 regular ones I use
12:19:59 <Halcyon> Well, that's yet to be seen
12:20:01 <Ampera> however beneficial it is
12:20:11 <Halcyon> I'm not supporting it, nor am I unsupportive of it.
12:20:15 <Ampera> aye, it hasn't even been passed yet
12:20:19 <Halcyon> Indeed
12:20:29 <Ampera> anyways, need to go to sleep, good night
12:20:32 <Halcyon> Night
12:20:38 * Halcyon slaps Ampera on the ass on the way out
12:21:24 <c0rnbr34d> oi
12:21:53 <c0rnbr34d> milk+honey=nice
12:22:15 <T3sl4> milk + amaretto = nice too
12:22:40 <Halcyon> :P
12:22:53 <Halcyon> For some reason, I'm craving tiramisu
12:23:23 <coppice_> Milk + bacteria to turn it into yoghurt is nice too
12:23:39 <Halcyon> Agreed
12:23:56 <c0rnbr34d> ive never tried amaretto
12:24:01 <T3sl4> milk + enzymes + bacteria is nice too
12:24:19 <T3sl4> rennet^
12:25:10 <coppice_> now he's getting fancy. thinks he's the big cheese
12:25:33 <Halcyon> :P

12:32:26 <rust_collector> some of us probably do.
12:32:38 <c0rnbr34d> I currently live in a hackerhouse and am moving out and need to buy my own tools or find a hackerspace in the contry
12:32:46 <rust_collector> i just have a desk full of crap
12:32:48 <c0rnbr34d> just not sure what kinda setup I want
12:32:49 <c0rnbr34d> lol
12:33:13 <c0rnbr34d> id like to network everything over LXI but that creates issues with NI equipment :/
12:34:20 <c0rnbr34d> not sure what the best aproch is but I do want to be able to script to all my instruments and GPIB sucks ass
12:35:24 <c0rnbr34d> I would also like my electronics lab to mesh well with my home server and be extensible to new equipment like machining stuff, fab stuff, and maybe one day computational chem
12:35:52 <rust_collector> ok, have fun with that. good night
12:35:54 <c0rnbr34d> ontop of that id like to be able to use one shell to talk to everything
12:36:03 <c0rnbr34d> and ideally connect it all over catV
12:36:16 <c0rnbr34d> .-.
12:36:29 <c0rnbr34d> it is a mess
12:37:37 <c0rnbr34d> anyones welcome to pm me though if they have any reomendations... ill probably make some blog posts about it once my new site goes online

13:39:17 <electrohead> My new cat decided to piss in my bathroom again, most likely just being a power move

13:39:44 <Halcyon> Asshole cats

13:42:39 <c0rnbr34d> no

13:44:42 <electrohead> ok ok that's a bit mean, yet.. I'd rather take a 3G Huawei modem instead

13:45:17 <electrohead> where ever* ?
13:45:29 <electrohead> anyways, so I brought home another new drink
13:46:29 <electrohead> https://boeningbrothers.com/product/yuengling-raging-eagle-mango-beer/
13:46:45 <electrohead> since this is my hometown's brewery, I thought I'd try it out
13:46:51 <electrohead> it's decent in a way
13:47:27 <electrohead> 6% ABV
13:48:30 <Halcyon> Is 6% a lot?
13:49:42 <electrohead> For me? Ehh, I tiny bit higher than my go-to beer

18:09:08 <MrMobodies> the casket and filter seems in really good condition but the cord looks like it is busted
18:09:34 <MrMobodies> and it going to need a lot of cleaning
18:18:46 <T3sl4> hm interesting, looks like my car battery got unbalanced. have been floating it all day, drawing little current and bubbling slowly. but cycling it seems to be helping more.

21:44:32 <steve30> I think I'll go and make some chicken risotto
21:44:42 <Ysjoelfir> Make some for me, too, would you?
21:44:44 <steve30> I think I'll also put the bread maker on.

21:56:22 <rust_collector> hey-o
21:57:28 <rust_collector> and again, I had planned to get up in a few hours. I wonder why I keep waking up too early
21:58:35 <Ysjoelfir> when did you go to bed?
21:58:58 <rust_collector> hmm, good question. I guess around 4
21:59:55 <K> wc or hunger
22:00:19 <K> or someone upstairs has taken up drillng concrete
22:00:28 * steve30 feels cold
22:00:30 <Ysjoelfir> then you had 2 hours more sleep than I had!
22:00:42 <rust_collector> that could be it, except I am upstairs, lol
22:00:43 <steve30> I slept quite well
22:00:44 <Ysjoelfir> I went to bed at 5:30 and woke up at 11
22:01:48 <rust_collector> I have been awake for a bit. meh. it is just a thing. on tuesday, wife woke me up at 18.20, wondering if I had the day off
22:12:23 <Ysjoelfir> lol^^ But hey, at least you had more than an hour?
22:13:04 <rust_collector> yep. i think I spent the time, making plans
22:13:27 <rust_collector> all i remember, is that I have to make coffee
22:15:11 <Ysjoelfir> thats a great plan!
22:16:12 <Ysjoelfir> yesterday I received some stuff from a army surplus store. I bought some swedish and danish stuff, and was very thrilled when I saw the nice pattern the danes put onto their bedrolls xD
22:16:42 <rust_collector> uuh, ok?

22:19:01 <rust_collector> uhm
22:19:39 <rust_collector> I think grandma had those fold-up beach bed things, with that pattern

22:41:31 <Ampera> my biltong isn't dry yet :/
22:41:37 <Ampera> I'm gonna have to leave it in there for a week or more

22:41:59 <Ampera> not even close
22:42:09 <Ampera> cut open another bit of my sacrificial piece and it was as moist as roast beef inside
22:42:47 <rust_collector> with you people playing games... did any of you actually play calm down stalin?
22:43:25 <Ysjoelfir> I have seen a guy cutting the biltong in thin slices after it was dry from the outside and drying that again afterwards.
