31:48 <rust_collector> moining
32:13 <Ampera> rust in peace, mr. collector
32:20 <Ampera> how are you doing
32:35 <Watcher> hey
32:48 <rust_collector> i have been up for 12.5 hours, I wonder when I will wake up
33:08 <Watcher> that early
33:10 <Ampera> rust_collector, have you ever woken up before?
33:15 <Ampera> what makes you think you will wake up ever?
33:18 <Watcher> * that's
33:37 <Ampera> I'm usually up for 16 hours at a time
33:39 <rust_collector> There are stories about that time I was awake. i am not sure if it is true or not
33:57 <Ampera> rust_collector, you know what they say, trust none of what you hear, and only half of what you see
34:09 <Ampera> I think we're all sleeping and sharing the same nightmare
34:20 <rust_collector> and with glasses like mine, maybe not that either
34:52 <rust_collector> I still get the feeling that I am made to be up for 2 days, then sleep one day
35:56 <Ampera> do you at least sleep the whole day?
36:11 <rust_collector> but yes, I have had the same evening shifts since november or so, and today I started at 3. it is not ideal, especially not on a monday
36:38 <rust_collector> It is not very often I get to try theories like that. it is just a feeling I have
36:43 <Ampera> since covid and working at home, I've done all sorts of crazy nonsense with my hours
36:55 <Ampera> I work 6-14, wake up 2, go to bed 18
36:56 <rust_collector> I think that is pretty common
37:25 <Ampera> I also have no lunch break, which is not a big deal, as I only eat once a day
38:38 <rust_collector> Now that I am somewhat older, I have started to usually eat twice each day
39:09 <Ampera> the problem I've had if I eat more than once a day is I will eat enough food for a whole day twice a day
40:08 <K> t h i c c
40:15 <rust_collector> i know what you mean
40:42 <Ampera> on occasion I will go a day without eating anything, because why not
50:37 Quit: Watcher ([email protected]) Quit: i'am out
51:30 <rust_collector> I sort of like these supercomputer boards everyone is making these days
51:41 <K> it is niec
51:53 <K> but not clear to me what they would be good for
52:07 <rust_collector> computing
52:12 <K> computing what
52:22 <rust_collector> difficult things
52:32 <K> multi-computer computing research yes
52:45 <K> but that would be more productive on emulated hardware
52:55 <rust_collector> no no, I don't think they are connected
53:10 <Ampera> distcc is the only useful thing I can think of
53:34 <Ampera> I've thought about the price of a raspi 4 distcc cluster, but ultimately the problem is I don't think I could get one powerful enough to beat an x86 CPU of the same price
53:43 <rust_collector> something makes me think that you are talking about something different to what i am thinking about
53:47 <Ampera> (and the system around it)
54:01 <Ampera> er
54:14 <Ampera> I am talking about boards with a load of slots for raspi compute modules and such
54:22 <rust_collector> ok
54:28 <Ampera> what are you talking about
54:40 <rust_collector> let me find one
57:40 <rust_collector> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrK4gHwBdik
58:26 <rust_collector> it is so stupid, but I think they look nice
59:12 <Ampera> ohhhhh
59:17 <Ampera> it's a show prop
59:27 <rust_collector> pretty much
02:12 <rust_collector> so that is a thing to put in one of those modern computer boxes with a glass window
02:47 <K> rgb leds for Amperas grandpa
03:05 <rust_collector> yes!
03:17 <Ampera> a cruel prank would be to attach a really big battery to it, encase the whole thing in resin, go to someone you hate's bedroom, and then epoxy it to their window facing in
03:37 <Ampera> so they will have a bright obnoxious RGB show in their room for days, and they'll have to smash their window to stop it
03:40 <rust_collector> I like the way you think
06:54 <K> add rf receiver and beam rf power to it

17:29 <hsn> Dmm
18:02 <Ampera> Cheddar is only yellow when you've been an idiot and not bought sharp cheddar.
18:37 <hsn> Ampera: r u ... What?
18:54 <Ampera> If your cheddar is yellow, you are doing cheddar wrong
18:56 <hsn> Im idiot even if i buy all kind of cheeses
18:56 <Ampera> and you should feel wrong

33:12 <Ampera> you don't want it
33:21 <hsn> I want to throw snow balls to ppl
33:44 <Ampera> sure, but you first have to spend an hour in freezing cold digging out your car with a plastic shovel
33:49 <Ampera> then digging out the sidewalk
33:56 <Ampera> then salting the sidewalk so nobody slips and sues you
34:01 <hsn> No
34:02 <Ampera> oh, and that salt isn't cheap either
34:16 <hsn> Just make fire and sit

09:25 <Guest|36913> Can someone recommend a decent general purpose soldering flux to use preferably in can/jar, that's not expensive, please? I'm not an expert at soldering, but am hoping to fix a piece of stereo I currently own. Thank you. ¿Are the (low cost) Chinese made (50 gms) tins of flux ok?

40:43 <guest012> The diode marked S427, would anyone know what brand this diode is based off the logo?
52:04 <Ysjoelfir> no idea, but why would you need the manufacturer?
52:24 <Ysjoelfir> also hello mr guest
52:50 <guest012> hi Ysjoelfir. Just wanted to get the datasheet
53:11 <guest012> for a certain diode I have which has that similar logo on it
53:41 <Ysjoelfir> well.... then grab any manufacturers datasheet for said diode? I don't think they will be that different

13:34 <arch> ITS WORKING! ITS WORKING!!!!
13:54 <arch> i remade the PCB and it's soooo much better with the separate agnd and pgnd
14:06 <arch> almost ideal waveforms now
14:53 <arch> and i also learned something new. that is, if you have the probes connect near the inductor, you pick up a LOT of ripple on the output cap, even though in reality it's lesser
15:14 <arch> the difference is literally less than a few mm. makes a massive difference
15:48 <arch> of course, i did this on purpose, with an unshielded inductor
49:54 <arch> look at the difference it makes when you probe just a few mm away: https://imgur.com/a/sdyardX
51:24 <arch> T3sl4, ^^ that's the redesigned AOZ1073 PCB. i separated agnd and pgnd with a single trace, and added a ceramic cap between pwr and agnd
51:44 <arch> now it's not bugging out even with the 10uH inductor, so i can safely say that my previous layout was crap
55:04 <arch> interesting. i notices that even with the bad probing method, the curves related to parasitics on the capacitor are virtually identical. the parabolas i mean.
55:46 <arch> the amplitude that the parasitics waveforms sit upon is what changes. kewl

05:25 <arch> let me get a transient response now, hope it's better than the previous pcb
24:54 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
26:06 <arch> yeaaa boiiii. ok, so good and bad news. good news is, i expect the loop compensation to behave properly now. the bad news is i have terrible undershoot and overshoot because i just popped in 100nF ceramic cap directly across RC comp pin and it takes AGES to settle. waveforms here: https://imgur.com/a/jiV1Ztb
26:16 <arch> T3sl4, pls dont kill me
28:05 <arch> what i think is happening when it oscillates as the transient is removed is it goes into overvoltage protection mode because the loop response is slow af
28:56 <arch> let me pop in my initially calculated RC comp values now, and remove the cap connected directly across RC comp pin
29:06 <arch> and redo the test. hope it's better
30:41 <arch> actually before i do that, let's do another quick test. im gonna replace that 100nF cap with a 10nF cap, then take a capture of the waveform

22:15 <T3sl4> hai kai
24:58 <Ysjoelfir> shark tim
29:56 <Ampera> germans be wondering why COVID's so bad for them, while having "germ" in their name
32:28 <Ysjoelfir> I would opt for "its so bad because our government thinks that enforcing countermeasures today that are supposed to prevent events happening tomorrow, developed on the basis of data from 3 months ago is a good idea"
34:31 <Ampera> While I've been trying not to weigh in too much on COVID, I think New York's done a decent job of it.
35:00 <Ampera> We have fairly light restrictions at least in my area, and the numbers aren't great, but aren't terrible either
35:08 <Ampera> I guess depending on how you rate great or terrible
37:39 * Halcyon cuddles Ampera
37:46 * Ampera kisses Halcyon 
38:03 <Ampera> I ended up buying the collector's set for Ashens' movies
38:31 <Halcyon> Thanks mate :)
38:37 <Halcyon> Oh yeh?\
38:47 <Halcyon> What is the collectors set
38:47 <Ampera> How was work today
38:47 <Ysjoelfir> I have a big problem with the way they handle things here. its like "oooh, covid is bad, we have to be carefull, we have to keep most stores closed, all restaurants are only allowed to do deliveries, and everone should stay at home as much as possible.... but... oh, its valentines day, lets reopen flower stores. and hairdressers. Oh, and we also noticed that the british mutation is ravaging, especially in lower age groups. so lets just fully
38:47 <Ysjoelfir> open schools and childcare tomorrow!"

48:05 <Halcyon> I have way too many video cards
49:15 <Halcyon> In AGP and PCIe alone I have 30
49:24 <Halcyon> Still got ISA/PCI to sort
50:38 <K> gonna pave the patio with them?
51:53 <Halcyon> Collecting :P
52:10 <Ysjoelfir> I had a nice collection of vintage cards once
52:19 <Ysjoelfir> even got an XGI Volari Duo
52:27 <Halcyon> What happened to them?
53:02 <Ysjoelfir> and the ubiquitous... what was that... geforce 9800 X2? The thing with 2 (or was it four?) GPUs on 2 stacked PCBs
54:14 <Ysjoelfir> I scrapped most of it and sold other stuff for way to less money because "back than"(Trademark) the stuff wasn't realy sought after... heck, I even sold a Gravis Ultrasound with Box for 10 freakin euros
54:51 <Ysjoelfir> I could bite a big chunk out of my ass for that, judged by the collectors prices nowadays.
56:01 <Halcyon> Gees
56:15 <Ysjoelfir> yep
56:19 <Ysjoelfir> wanna have a bite, too?
57:40 * Halcyon has a nibble
59:03 <Ysjoelfir> thanks, now I feel better
59:29 * Ysjoelfir is still hunting for a cheap GUS to compensate for him being annoyed that he sold it that cheap >_>
01:51 <Halcyon> GUS ?

02:39 <Halcyon> Ahh
07:29 <Halcyon> This is one of my favourite online stores: http://texelec.com/
08:36 <Ysjoelfir> Thats cute, all homemade/semi professional stuff?
08:40 <Halcyon> Yeh
08:53 <Halcyon> I have a few of his OPL-based cards
08:56 <Halcyon> They work nicely
09:00 <Halcyon> Really well made
09:24 <Ampera> unpopular opinion, I'm not a big fan of the OPL's sound, 2 or 3
09:36 <Halcyon> Oh I'm not saying it's good :P
09:39 <Ampera> It can be used well by competent programmers, but most of the music ever made for it sounds weak
09:40 <Halcyon> Just nostalgic
10:07 <Ampera> the FM synth in simple stuff like the genesis absolutely demolishes the OPL chips
10:11 <Halcyon> I think he uses new old stock Yamaha chips where possible
10:18 <Halcyon> I agree Ampera
10:32 <Halcyon> But it's cheaper to buy one of these than a genuine old AdLib card :P
11:21 <Ampera> I just use sound blasters
11:39 <Halcyon> Snob :P
14:04 <Ampera> I had some lamb last night my dad gave me because he didn't really like it
14:14 <Ampera> was very good, but made me sad that it's so hard to get lamb
14:20 <Ampera> it's one of the most expensive meats here
14:39 <Ampera> nevermind mutton which is complete unobtanium unless you know a place that does it
15:44 <Halcyon> Do you farm your own lamb there or is it generally imported?
15:50 <Ampera> yes
16:33 <Ampera> I believe we import some of it from Oceania, and farm some of it locally
17:26 <Halcyon> Well if/when you eventually come here, we will have lamb
17:51 <Halcyon> It's a fairly common meat in things like roasts, chops or slow cooked (lamb shanks are delicious)
18:12 <Ampera> Here it's almost a delicacy
18:30 <Ampera> Steak is often cheaper
18:51 <Ampera> I think part of the reason is a lot of people don't like lamb, nevermind mutton
19:04 <Halcyon> Oooooh I know just the place to take you
19:07 <Halcyon> https://www.lamsheds.com.au/
19:29 <Halcyon> Sooooooo many good things on the menu and it changes every month
19:48 <Ampera> I hate their website
20:03 <Ampera> looks good though
20:18 <Halcyon> https://www.facebook.com/pg/lamsheds/photos/?ref=page_internal
20:22 <Halcyon> There are pictures there
20:26 <Ampera> over here, all of our restaurants are either chains, or crap
20:29 <Ampera> with few exceptions
21:04 <Ampera> if you send me a facebook link again I will find you and put you out of my misery.
21:22 <Ampera> Those are some tiny portions
22:42 <Halcyon> Yeh they aren't huge but they aren't meant to be. It's the type of place where you try many different delicious things.
23:04 <Halcyon> Last time we went there, we couldn't decide, so we asked the owner to just "feed us" and he kept bringing out plates of various things.
23:15 <Halcyon> Not exactly cheap, but nice for a treat.
23:45 <Ampera> How much did you pay averaged to a person?
24:54 <Halcyon> Well that time he just came up with a AUD$70 per head price
25:01 <Halcyon> But we were stuffed by the end of it
25:06 <Halcyon> (I think that included wine as well)
25:13 <Ampera> that's not bad for a fancy place
25:25 <Ampera> you can spend more going to a chain in NYC
25:40 <Halcyon> I think it helped that we had a large group
25:56 <Halcyon> I think the whole bill was like $600
26:02 <Ampera> cor
26:42 <Halcyon> Worth every dollar in my opinion. I've been there like 3-4 times now
26:47 <Halcyon> And going again next month \o/
26:56 <Ampera> if you were about to buy that much food from a place here they'd probably want proof of ability to pay
27:06 <Ampera> or a down payment :P
27:29 <Halcyon> Heh
27:57 <Ampera> could march a column of men up to the local buffet for that much
30:26 <Halcyon> It's not about economy, it's about quality and treating yourself
30:38 <Ampera> In the US, going out to eat is about eating
30:52 <Ampera> so long as the food isn't shit, and isn't tiny, you're golden
30:58 <Halcyon> https://kingsleyssydney.com.au/
31:07 <Halcyon> That is my other favourite place
31:30 <Ampera> Looks a bit more hipster than the other one
31:42 <Halcyon> More or less the same vibe
31:51 <Halcyon> That latter one is right on the water in Sydney
32:19 <Ampera> https://amperaa.net/cdn/food/20201227_155306.jpg an example of our local texas roadhouse
32:26 <Ampera> ribs and steak
32:37 <Halcyon> Nom
33:11 <Halcyon> https://www.google.com/maps/place/Kingsleys+Woolloomooloo/@-33.867675,151.2203626,337m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x6b12ae6dec62f04d:0x74ff139405888c03!8m2!3d-33.8678565!4d151.2206764
33:15 <Halcyon> That's where that other place is
33:23 <Halcyon> If you wish, you can park your boat there :P
33:51 <Ampera> I'll row right up
34:06 <Ampera> google maps says I can't have it delivered
34:11 <Ampera> I'd be impressed if I could...
34:36 <Halcyon> Might be a bit cold
35:57 <Ampera> It's amusing when uber eats advertises restaurants that are at least 40 minutes away for delivery
36:11 Join: Ysjoelfir_ ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
36:12 <Halcyon> Yeh that can't be good
36:30 <Halcyon> I've never used Uber Eats, but I imagine their bags aren't heated like pizza bags?
36:55 <Ampera> well one of the places advertised served cold grinders
37:08 <Halcyon> Grinders? Coffee?
37:10 <Ampera> so that would work, but would be really expensive for a sandwich
37:11 <Ampera> no
37:12 <Ampera> sandwiches
37:17 <Halcyon> Oh right
37:25 <Ampera> it's new english vernacular
37:54 <Halcyon> Grinders is a coffee place/cafe here
38:05 <Halcyon> It's a chain though, nothing special

39:01 <Halcyon> Fairly different to Grindr
39:02 <Ampera> that wikipedia entry is full of shit
39:07 <Ampera> nobody says grinder in new york
39:12 <Ampera> if you do it's an immediate sign you're not from here
39:13 <Halcyon> Then edit it :P
39:25 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
39:33 <Ampera> all I have is my anecdotes versus their cited source
39:36 <Ampera> I don't care also
39:48 <Ampera> I say grinder because it pisses people off
40:28 <Halcyon> :P
42:05 <Ampera> New York is also a pretty big place, it's possible NYC has enough degenerates to make grinder a partially accepted term
42:26 <Ampera> whereas here if you walked into a place and asked for a grinder they'd get the kitchen staff together and beat the shit out of you
43:01 <Ampera> I'd ask Tezzers if he was here, since he lives in one of the more generative parts of New York
43:09 <Ampera> *degenerative
43:58 <Halcyon> T3sl4 lives in New York?
44:52 <Ampera> who said T3sl4
44:54 <T3sl4> wrong T :P
45:05 <Halcyon> I thought that might have been your pet name for him :P
45:12 <Ampera> T3sl4 lives in the state not cool enough to be the midwest
45:29 <K> iowa?
45:38 <Ampera> no iowa is not cool enough to be anywhere
45:43 <Ampera> fuck iowa, nobody likes iowa
45:43 <T3sl4> ew iowa
46:00 <T3sl4> iowa is the iowa of the midwest
46:16 <Halcyon> I take it no one is a fan?
46:34 <T3sl4> it's just a boring state
46:37 <T3sl4> hope you like corn :P
46:41 <Halcyon> I love corn
47:02 <Ampera> they're the official start of the flyover states
47:07 <T3sl4> you love cornholing, but their version isn't what you're thinking
47:16 <Halcyon> :P
47:39 <Ampera> Tezzers lives in Long Island, the penis of New York
47:56 <K> flyover states?
48:10 <Ampera> yeah states nobody goes to and everyone flies over to go to states that are actually interesting
48:27 <Ampera> or, if you're going from east to west, states that are even worse
48:46 <K> oh.
48:54 <Ampera> Nevada and Arizona seem cool
49:04 <Halcyon> Is there anything there?
49:05 <Halcyon> Even corn?
49:25 <Ampera> I get the impression you go anywhere inhabited in Oregon and you'll get your kneecaps fucking smashed by an asshole with a lead pipe in five minutes
49:44 <Ampera> similar in Washington, but they have the slightly less insufferable clone of silicon valley up there
50:21 <Ampera> California seems like the state where they have diversified themselves into a variety of different societal solutions, all of them completely terrible
50:33 <Halcyon> I'm guessing Oregon is nothing like Goose Island Oregon like in Wargames?
50:34 <Ampera> everything is just a different type of awful
50:52 <Ampera> no Oregon is 90% nothing 10% riots
51:15 <Ampera> Everyone I've ever talked to who lives there is fucking sick of the place
51:57 <Halcyon> So where is good?
52:02 <Ampera> nowhere
52:11 <Halcyon> ... in the US
52:19 <K> florida!
52:20 <Ampera> Canada
52:27 <Halcyon> Heheh Canadia
53:20 <Ampera> Think of the US like a gradient, it's all shit, but as you go from east to west, and from north to south, everything gets worse
53:41 <Halcyon> That's a rather negative view
53:48 <Ampera> I live here
54:25 <K> the most nort-west is the least bad?
54:34 <Halcyon> It's kind of like here... except instead of getting worse, things get further and further spread out until you reach the west coast when it all starts to get built up again
54:39 <Ampera> K, the northeast is the least bad
54:45 <Ampera> though, the northeast is full of unsavory assholes
54:50 <K> ah.
55:00 <Ampera> but if you shut up and mind your own business, and keep a hand on your wallet, you're alright
55:13 <Halcyon> :P
55:14 <Ampera> the southeast is full of really friendly people so long as you're white
55:54 <Ampera> the midwest has kind people, but a lot of broken cities, crime, and drugs
55:55 <Halcyon> Sounds like your kind of place Ampera :P
56:10 <Halcyon> (The former, not the crime and drugs)
56:24 <Ampera> Nah, the southwest might as well be known as the sandwich states
56:28 <Ampera> because they're all inbred down there
56:35 <Halcyon> Mmmm bread
57:19 <Ampera> Texas is the state of big
57:27 <Ampera> everything is bigger in Texas, including their disasters
57:59 <Halcyon> I guess if you're going to do something, do it well
58:09 <Ampera> New Mexico is probably the one state I know nothing about
58:22 <Ampera> I have no idea who lives there, what they do, or what they are like
58:30 <Halcyon> Aliens
58:49 <Ampera> they're between Arizona and Texas, so presumably a hybrid of the two, but I get the impression they're sort of a state people use mostly to get between the two
59:23 <Halcyon> It looks warm there
59:30 <Ampera> Wyoming doesn't actually exist, if you walk across the border you'll be instantly warped to the other side.
59:33 <Ampera> Ohio will be eliminated
59:57 <Ampera> Indiana is full of inbreds and meth
59:59 <Ampera> and corn
00:06 <Ampera> not my take, I have a friend there
00:13 <Halcyon> I need to wee wee
00:21 <Ampera> have fun
03:56 <Halcyon> I did
04:33 <Ampera> I need to get back to writing more tests in a bit
04:53 <Halcyon> Okies
05:01 <Halcyon> I should go to bed, but I don't wanna
05:08 * Halcyon pokes T3sl4 annoyingly
06:21 * T3sl4 wraps Halcyon tightly in a duvet, and stuffs a pillow tightly in the head end
06:51 <Halcyon> Aw you're a sweetheart
08:54 <K> ... then takes a roll of duct tape, a hydrographic map of nearby watter body and some old Tek scopes.
09:42 <Halcyon> :P
09:48 <Halcyon> You're mean K
10:21 <K> i prefer "practical"
10:39 <Ampera> Halcyon, check discord
11:19 <Halcyon> Aw cute
11:27 <Halcyon> Looks like you have a lion's mane
11:50 <Halcyon> Speaking of webcams
11:57 <Halcyon> You need to set up a bunny cam
14:36 <Ampera> I'd prefer not to have any live public feeds in my home
41:19 <Ysjoelfir> woohoo! I got an early birthday present!
45:57 <steve30> hi
55:55 <Ysjoelfir> hi steve
00:18 <steve30> I had a tyre disaster earlier
03:16 <K> whadidya get?
03:42 <Ysjoelfir> aww. did you manage to fix it steve30?
03:52 <Ysjoelfir> K - a shrooooom DIY set :)
04:08 <Ysjoelfir> like, some substrate with some mycelium already in it to grow my own shrooms
04:15 <K> uh, what kind of shrooms?
04:26 <Ysjoelfir> Shii-take
04:34 <K> oh.
04:44 <K> shee take and never give back
05:12 <steve30> My 6 month old tyre got damaged somehow. It looks like someone cut it with a pair of scissors.
05:39 <Ysjoelfir> Exactly those xD I think I'll get some more sets though, my mum kinda hinted in that direction^^
05:56 <Ysjoelfir> eh? that sounds like sabotage steve
06:24 <steve30> I put a patch on the damaged inner tube and pumped it up a bit, but there was still something wrong, so I rode it flat until I could go somewhere quiet to investigate.
06:58 <steve30> I had to redo the original patch, and found another 3 or 4 punctures in the inner tube to repair. I fixed it eventually.
07:24 <steve30> Then I stuck a patch on the underside of the tyre, and slipped in one of those new-fangled polymer £5 notes to reinforce it, and it was perfectly good for the ride home :).
08:11 <steve30> Ysjoelfir, it happened while riding so can't be sabotage.
08:36 <Ysjoelfir> I love the 5£ patch xD
11:19 <steve30> They are quite tough, these new banknotes. There are probably 'cheaper' options available, but I had £5 notes in my wallet.

31:40 <Ampera> yeah, your currency isn't green enough

40:18 <Ysjoelfir> you're welcome :) Did you see my link yesterday (?)? with the next Schlumberger from Mr. ice tea?
44:05 <K> yea, you think to get one for parts would be wise?
44:45 <Ysjoelfir> I dunno. If I were you I would at least put that to my watchlist and see if it ends cheap. if it does I think one for spares is not a bad idea.
45:14 <K> i'll keep an eye on it
47:53 <Ysjoelfir> :)
48:36 <K> ah, and he has a 100MHz 2245A scope
59:23 * steve30 makes a much needed coffee
59:31 <Ysjoelfir> that is a nice scope
59:38 * Ysjoelfir wants some tea
