00:05:32 <Ysjoelfir> mornings rusty
00:05:38 * Ampera hugs the Ysjoelfir
00:05:42 <Ampera> ready to lose again later today?
00:05:50 <Ysjoelfir> lose what?
00:05:53 <Ampera> ESC
00:06:07 * Ysjoelfir looks at his keyboard, irritated
00:06:15 <Ampera> I swear I must be the only one who watches it...
00:06:21 <Ampera> am I that gay?
00:06:28 <Ysjoelfir> oh!
00:06:38 <Ysjoelfir> as you said gay I got it. you mean that music thing?
00:06:42 <Ampera> hahahahahaha
00:06:43 <Ampera> yes
00:06:46 <Ysjoelfir> I didn't even know that it is today
00:06:52 <Ampera> the final
00:07:06 <rust_collector> woohoo! that means it will be over soon!
00:07:11 <Ampera> lol
00:07:29 <Ampera> I haven't seen Germany's act yet
00:07:34 <Ysjoelfir> yeah, I think we will loose, as usual.
00:07:37 <Ampera> apparently San Marino made it to the final, which is interesting
00:07:39 <Ysjoelfir> i haven't either
00:07:41 <rust_collector> that is weird, the wife is usually gay anough for that
00:07:41 <Ampera> I'd love to see them win
00:07:43 <Ysjoelfir> but we will loose no matter what
00:12:27 <Ysjoelfir> I am still not done with the damn nas problematic. I am so sick and tired of it :D I consider getting that https://geizhals.de/qnap-turbo-station-ts-351-2g-a1902059.html?hloc=de thing, put some HDDs into that and be done.

00:13:45 <Ysjoelfir> though I don't know if I have so much money at hand.... maybe more like that https://geizhals.de/terramaster-f4-series-f4-210-1gb-a2183354.html?hloc=de

00:14:22 <Ysjoelfir> and put the bouncer on a raspi or whatever
00:14:32 <rust_collector> interesting to see the power consumption difference there
00:14:48 <Ysjoelfir> you mean between those two I linked?
00:14:51 <rust_collector> yes
00:15:25 <Ysjoelfir> the expensive one has 2 SSD slots that it uses as a kind of cache, maybe thats why?
00:16:10 <rust_collector> or, the expensive one has a "big" intel blahblah, and the other one is a little arm cpu.
00:16:17 <Ysjoelfir> that as well
00:17:38 <Ysjoelfir> otherwise that... https://geizhals.de/qnap-turbo-station-ts-328-2g-a1787358.html?hloc=de looks nice and looks like it has most of the stuff the expensive one has. but.... its just a bit cheaper anyways
00:17:39 <EEVBot> [Title] - 429 Too Fast, you are temporarily banned
00:17:51 <Ampera> TOO FAST YSJOELFIR
00:17:53 <Ampera> YOU ARE BANNED
00:17:59 <Ampera> /ban Ysjoelfir reason: too fast
00:18:00 <rust_collector> BAN BAN BAN!!!
00:18:14 <Ysjoelfir> woohoo!

00:18:37 Mode: (by Ysjoelfir) -b [email protected]
00:19:01 <Ysjoelfir> lol. I somehow expected Ampera to kick me just after I baned myself :P
00:19:06 <rust_collector> you are getting complicated
00:19:10 <Ampera> I was very tempted
00:20:09 <Ysjoelfir> so.... what should I do....
00:20:25 <Ampera> start a band
00:21:28 <Ysjoelfir> ok. I do that just after I decided what NAS I should get
00:21:41 <Ampera> a nashole
00:22:32 <Ysjoelfir> cool. which model?
00:22:57 <rust_collector> doesn't anyone make a nas hat or whatever for a pi? I mean one with regular drives
00:23:01 <Ampera> a model disck
00:23:16 <Ampera> depends on how badass of a NAS you want
00:25:48 <Ysjoelfir> well..... tbh I just want that thing to be able to give me my data when I need it without waiting like 20 years. I need at least 2 disks, but 3 would be usefull I think
00:26:24 <Ampera> fast storage?
00:26:27 <Ampera> I wish I knew what that's like
00:26:34 <Ampera> all my VMs don't go faster than 20MB/s
00:27:06 <Ysjoelfir> a bite more than that would indeed be nice
00:27:26 <Kuschelpony> lol of the day:
00:27:52 <Kuschelpony> My amplifier has no distortion, it adds harmonis to brighten and warm the sound
00:28:47 <Ysjoelfir> aaaah, yes. thats what an audiophile would say :D
00:29:14 <Kuschelpony> no, audiophiles would never say< this
00:29:23 <Kuschelpony> but audiophools say it
00:29:35 <Kuschelpony> i DO make a distinction between them
00:29:44 <Ampera> audio makes me moist
00:29:48 <Ysjoelfir> oh yes, you are absolutely right there
00:29:49 <Ampera> what do you call that
00:30:21 Join: Chipguy ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
00:30:26 <Kuschelpony> 2Audiophil" is someone who enjoys music, and not someone who gets fooled
00:30:33 <Ysjoelfir> exactly
00:30:38 <Ysjoelfir> I would call myself that
00:31:05 <rust_collector> hummm
00:31:29 <Kuschelpony> im perhaps also close
00:31:48 <rust_collector> I just like to listen to some sorts of noises
00:31:54 <Ysjoelfir> lol
00:34:04 <Ysjoelfir> https://www.qnap.com/en/product/ts-230 what do you guys think about that cute thing?
00:34:05 * Ampera sneezes
00:34:05 <EEVBot> [Title] - TS-230 | Enjoy a smart and fun lifestyle with the budget-friendly file center and home media hub | QNAP
00:34:12 <Ysjoelfir> Gesundheit, Ampera
00:34:21 <Ampera> god bless your soul, my child
00:34:55 <Ampera> They say when you sneeze, your demons escape your body through your nose
00:34:58 <Ampera> but no matter how much I sneeze
00:35:02 <Ampera> the voices in my head never stop screaming
00:35:04 <Ampera> and crying
00:35:09 <Ysjoelfir> who should bless me?
00:35:17 <rust_collector> that is because you open your mouth
00:35:42 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir how much is that little thing?
00:37:32 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Connection closed
00:41:35 <Ysjoelfir> 160 with shipping
00:41:57 <rust_collector> mmmmhrrf
00:42:05 <rust_collector> well, it is sort of cute...
00:43:48 <Ysjoelfir> but
00:46:25 <rust_collector> meh, I have no idea. all nas things seems to be sort of...crap. Butt, I never had one, so
00:47:01 <Jens> Your intuition is right. To do NAS properly, you have to roll your own.
00:47:09 <Ysjoelfir> thats what I fear as well.
00:47:21 <Ampera> I believe that too, but people don't like it when I tell them that
00:47:31 <Ampera> and I tend to take things pretty far as far as "rolling my own"
00:47:36 <rust_collector> but then you are suddenly sliding over to big chunky server things
00:47:47 <Ampera> hehehe yeah
00:48:34 <rust_collector> I have a great server, I am just waiting for the power company to install a second transformer for it
00:48:35 <Jens> I use Gentoo on my NAS box, like a crazy person, but user friendlier options exist. Like FreeNAS.
00:49:09 <rust_collector> well, if he only wants to store files... it does not take much special os stuff
00:50:15 <Ysjoelfir> I think my problem is actually pretty simple. I don't need much, but I am interested in technology and like to play with stuff. BUT: the day only has 24 hours. so.... maybe I should only get what I NEED and not what I CAN.
00:50:50 <rust_collector> yes, but why a nas, and not a regular computer?
00:51:30 <Ysjoelfir> because.
00:51:34 <Jens> https://www.jensrex.dk/img/IMG_0823.JPG <-- not huge
00:51:35 <Ysjoelfir> :)
00:51:46 <Jens> Doesn't have a proper home yet after the move :/
00:52:01 <rust_collector> but it has a cat pole thing
00:52:20 <Jens> Cat support is an optional, but recommended, extra.
00:54:54 <rust_collector> but 2 drives. is that enough for you? I guess you can get large-ish drives now, but
00:57:05 <Ysjoelfir> well... I was wondering if I should instead get bigger 2.5" drives for my 2.5" quad bay and get rid of the nas completely. instead get a freakin huge external HDD and use that for backup.
00:57:50 <Ampera> you call that a NAS?
00:57:51 <Ampera> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/315713347368648705/833077598896390184/20210417_130758.jpg
00:57:53 <Ampera> this is a NAS
00:57:56 <Ampera> (top one more specifically)
00:59:37 <rust_collector> complicated... https://imgur.com/TcOBGXt.png
00:59:39 <Ysjoelfir> what did you hide on that desk there?
00:59:52 <Ampera> iirc it was a sticker for the logo of the company I work for
01:00:06 <Ysjoelfir> lol rusty
01:00:08 <Ampera> just happened to be on the table
01:00:11 <rust_collector> wow, you have stickers...
01:00:15 <Ysjoelfir> Ampera, ah I see :D
01:03:36 <Jens> rust_collector: It takes 6 drives. I'll link case after dinner
01:04:35 <rust_collector> Jens I don't care. I don't want a nas. I only want kebab. I think Ysjoelfir could be interested, maybe
01:05:06 * Ampera makes a rust_collector kebab, serves it to rust_collector
01:12:11 Quit: Chipguy ([email protected]) Quit: Connection closed by foreign host
01:12:15 <rust_collector> I think bigger drives are annoying. what if you have to change one, then you spend a week moving stuff to it
01:12:38 <rust_collector> more smaller ones just seems like a better idea, imo

01:18:57 <Ysjoelfir> rusty, I agree, which is why I have 4x 500GB in this PC atm (+ the 280GB M.2 SSDs)
01:20:15 <rust_collector> I had to look it up, but I have a "217"G drive, and use 49% of it, lol
01:20:44 <Jens> I just have 2*2TB + 2*1TB drives.
01:20:47 <Ysjoelfir> But I could replace 2x 500GB RAID0 that hold my games with eg 2x 2TB independant drives, one for the games and one for a part of the stuff from the NAS. The other two 500GB are for my work stuff and in RAID1, but with a good backup solution I could replace them with 2 more 2GB, use one for the work stuff, the other one for storage, and regularely copy the stuff from the work drive to the 2x2gb storage
01:20:55 <Jens> The 1TB's were dumpster dives.
01:21:23 <rust_collector> I guess 2gb drives are still "small" enough
01:21:37 <Ysjoelfir> TB I meant to type
01:44:01 Join: Watcher ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
01:44:35 <Watcher> yo yo
01:45:03 <Ysjoelfir> no no
01:46:24 <rust_collector> humm, yes, but 2tb should still not take ages to move around
01:46:24 <Watcher> Ysjoelfir: have you already a new job?
01:46:43 <rust_collector> ....already....
01:46:53 <Ysjoelfir> rusty, yes, I agree. I think that is the ideal size.
01:47:28 <Ysjoelfir> Watcher, no, been looking since march last year.
01:47:41 <Watcher> sade
01:47:42 <Ysjoelfir> got another "nope!" yesterday though
01:48:03 <Ysjoelfir> yeah, seems like I am just not good enough
01:49:29 <rust_collector> do you give them all the info about you?
01:50:57 <rust_collector> I think companies now like people who give almost no info at all.
01:52:31 <Ysjoelfir> hm. maybe I should do that
01:52:49 <rust_collector> well, it can not get much worse?
01:52:56 <Watcher> rusty why? espacally in EE. where the poeple like more facts and data
01:53:35 <Ysjoelfir> probably because the job... "interviews" and decisions aren't done by engineers
01:53:47 <rust_collector> Watcher I don't know. it seems to be a company sort of thing. if you were talking to some guy working on his own, then sure
01:55:57 <rust_collector> if it is a popular job, so they get plenty of people applying for it, I doubt they look at each application for more than 10 seconds, on the first screening

01:59:12 <Ysjoelfir> nice! That looks great, I want one as well :D
01:59:35 <coppice> rust_collector: I've seen academics quietly saying that the push for diversity, inclusivity and equity statements from applicants for university posts is mostly so they can throw out most of the CVs on a mindless scan
02:00:07 <rust_collector> that makes sense
02:02:16 <rust_collector> I have never even written a cv. I tried once, and the guy just said "this is not a cv" so I said "ok"
02:03:39 <rust_collector> well, I still got the job, so...
02:05:45 <rust_collector> Inventor of the free green energy device for black lesbians might work?
02:10:28 <Ysjoelfir> as a job for me? yes, could work
02:11:22 <coppice> free green energy device == stolen vegetable?
02:28:36 <Ysjoelfir> yes.
02:41:43 <rust_collector> thisgs do not have to mean anything, but it sounds good
02:42:14 * rust_collector is half-frying mushrooms
02:42:30 * Ysjoelfir fries the other half
02:42:57 * rust_collector puts the first half in Ysjoelfir half
02:44:21 <Ysjoelfir> yay, I got.... either three quarters, or all!
02:46:29 <rust_collector> you got at least half of 16/8 of them
02:53:12 * rust_collector has a werthers original, and tell the kids to shut up or go home
02:53:25 <Ysjoelfir> hahaha :D
02:54:43 <rust_collector> pizza is in the incinerator....
02:54:56 <Ysjoelfir> nice! we will probably have Flammkuchen this evening
02:55:49 <Watcher> bye go out for a walk i come maybe back
02:55:54 Quit: Watcher ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
02:56:00 <rust_collector> that sounds very teutonic inspired
02:56:12 <Ysjoelfir> it is
02:56:18 <Ysjoelfir> lemon will probably enjoy it
02:56:31 <rust_collector> yeah, he should
02:56:31 <Ysjoelfir> speaking of that, where is he? I haven't seen him buy anything today
02:57:18 <rust_collector> I guess his isp blocked him, because of gambling problems or similar issues
02:58:06 <Ysjoelfir> ah. sounds reasonable
02:58:39 <rust_collector> it does, actually, lol

03:06:26 <rust_collector> hmm, Lemon is in his moms birthday.
03:06:34 <rust_collector> that is my story
03:16:17 <Nothing\> rust_collector, i want you to play with my dingaling
03:16:43 <Nothing\> oh that reminds me, you guys hear that danny dasterson got charged with 3 counts of rape :(
03:16:47 <rust_collector> I do not doubt that. do you have a link
03:16:50 <Nothing\> *masterson
03:17:03 <rust_collector> no, and I have no idea who that is either
03:17:07 <Nothing\> really? he never came off as rapey to me
03:17:17 <Nothing\> what's his face is also facing rape allegations
03:17:19 <Nothing\> james franco
03:17:30 <Nothing\> and seth rogan helped him cover it up ALLEGEDLY
03:17:49 <rust_collector> sure, I don't know who that is either
03:17:50 <Nothing\> i mean, he had to have known about it if it was going on in HIS company
03:18:14 <Nothing\> it's just funny cuz when harvey weinstein had his scandal, seth rogan was calling out all of the people who hid it
03:18:22 <Nothing\> rust_collector, seth rogan isn't bad
03:18:50 <rust_collector> I DON*T KNOW WHO ANY OF THE PEOPLE YOU MENTION ARE!!!, lol
03:18:50 <Nothing\> he's one of those guys like will ferrel where everyone thinks he's funny, but he doesn't really do anything particularly funny
03:19:01 <Nothing\> lol
03:19:07 <Nothing\> consider yourself lucky then
03:19:35 <rust_collector> I am reading about the spanish road, which seems like a much better use of my time
03:19:44 <Nothing\> definitely would be
03:19:56 <Nothing\> i always feel like unless it's non-fiction, reading is wasteful
03:20:10 <Nothing\> especially given how much effort it requires me to do it
03:20:32 <Nothing\> i have a hard time reading even stuff i enjoy, nevermind stuff i don't give a damn about
03:21:11 <rust_collector> books don't come with text to voice support, so... meh
03:21:43 <Nothing\> i've never found a TTS engine i liked
03:21:54 <Nothing\> i've always had to seek out actual audiobooks
03:22:16 <Nothing\> i especially like the ones that are dramatized, so long as they're unabridged
03:22:32 <Nothing\> i downloaded an audiobook of fear and loathing and las vegas that was heavily dramatized
03:22:50 <Nothing\> what it didn't mention was it was also heavily abridged, the run time was barely 2 hours :/
03:23:10 <Nothing\> it's not a super long book, maybe 200 pages or so, but that should still be a few hours
03:24:49 <rust_collector> I always mix up german onions with whatever random things I think of at the time I read it. pretty annoying
03:25:13 <Nothing\> onions?
03:25:16 <Nothing\> nouns?
03:25:34 <Lemon> waddup peeps
03:25:42 <Nothing\> hey le mon
03:25:43 <rust_collector> you know, you have Lemon and onion,
03:25:56 <rust_collector> and other words
03:25:56 <Lemon> yes I love flamenkuche, and no birthday today I was just mega-tired as I didnt sleep last night due to neck pain
03:26:02 <Lemon> how you all doing ? :>
03:26:08 <Nothing\> for some reason i've had that animal crackers song stuck in my head for the last week
03:26:12 <Nothing\> it's super annoying
03:26:17 <Nothing\> but otherwise i'm well
03:26:22 <Nothing\> how bout you?
03:27:34 <Lemon> heh I see :> im doing better, and I quickly tried my ac/dc clamp today
03:27:56 <Nothing\> right on
03:28:12 <rust_collector> I need a flammkuchen spatula thing... and to get the weeds out of the flammen-place
03:28:39 <Nothing\> german is so cacophonic
03:28:55 <Nothing\> i'd rate it as the single worst sounding language ever if there were such a scale
03:29:07 <rust_collector> and you would be wrong
03:29:11 <rust_collector> but ok
03:29:20 <Nothing\> especially after spending a summer listening to my grandparents speak it while i was on drugs
03:29:32 <Nothing\> the sound of it alone was enough to screw up my head
03:29:37 <Nothing\> or maybe it was the drugs lol
03:30:10 <Nothing\> actually i guess those jewish languages, ironically, are pretty cacophonic as well
03:30:15 <Lemon> canadians speaking french is the worst
03:30:18 <Lemon> quebecois
03:30:25 <coppice> Only German can make a love poem sounds like a declaration of war
03:30:46 <Nothing\> i've still yet to know of any differences between quebecois and france french
03:31:03 <Nothing\> coppice, not true, russians
03:31:21 <coppice> Nothing\: how about Spanish vs Latin Spanish? They can barely understand each other
03:31:26 <rust_collector> the que-language is spoken in canada, french is spoken anywhere else
03:31:32 <Nothing\> russian love poems would sound like death threats
03:31:46 <Nothing\> coppice, i'm not nearly as familiar with spanish
03:31:55 <coppice> Nothing\: a lot of women seem to love the sound of Russian
03:31:56 <Nothing\> but french is my second strongest language
03:32:05 <Nothing\> coppice, yeah i actually enjoy it
03:32:29 <Nothing\> a lot of slavic languages are cacophonic too
03:32:55 <Nothing\> it's funny, i looked up an example of what english sounds like to a non-english speaker a while back
03:33:04 <coppice> Irish is an interesting one. In the areas where a male Irish accent sounds the most aggressive, the women sound really sweet
03:33:06 <Lemon> well besides a few words theres no big difference, besides the horrible accent lol
03:33:08 <Nothing\> it sounds pretty much like the sims do in.. well... the sims
03:33:48 <Nothing\> i figured out you can make jibberish of any language if you just take some common sounds from it and put them together to form fake words
03:34:49 <Nothing\> i find it interesting that despite being so small, england has so many different accents, just england. Meanwhile Australia's so big but only seems to have the one accent
03:35:03 <Nothing\> i could be mistaken cuz i'm not a native, but that certainly seems like the case
03:35:27 <Nothing\> i wonder if that's down to the length of time it's existed, or population size or density or what
03:35:41 <coppice> Nothing\: I think you need to look at the date
03:35:53 <rust_collector> maybe because australia has a population equal to a cuty in england?
03:36:05 <Nothing\> probably population size and density since the US has existed about just as long but it's completely shed its English accent AND come up with a lot of novel accents
03:36:24 <Nothing\> meanwhile australian even still sounds pretty close to english accents to me
03:36:43 <Nothing\> coppice, that was the sound of what you said going over my head
03:36:52 <Nothing\> or at least of the sonic boom of it
03:37:29 <Nothing\> rust_collector, so was canada
03:37:37 <coppice> its not about population size of density. its about isolation. English accents developed when most people travelled only a short distance in their entire life. Australian wasn't that well developed by the start of radio and other mass communications that break down isolation
03:37:54 <Nothing\> we're still run by the queen and even still have a governor general who outranks trudeau
03:38:15 <coppice> the toilet cleaners should outrank Trudeau
03:38:26 <Nothing\> which i was surprised about, i knew they queen was above him, but that she never used her power. But I didn't know we had a governor general still
03:38:28 <rust_collector> any squirrel outranks trudeau
03:38:37 <Nothing\> lol
03:38:44 <Nothing\> canada squirrel > trudeau
03:41:00 <Nothing\> i hate these games on steam that are "early access" but for over a year you just see a minor update released like once a week, but nothing with any real substance
03:41:25 <Nothing\> i'm always so iffy about buying early access games on steam, but some of them are really terrific
03:41:36 <rust_collector> then.... stop?
03:41:47 <Nothing\> others are just literally not even finished games
03:42:30 <rust_collector> I think I am going outside, and see if I can rescue the oven outside...
03:42:42 <Nothing\> they just put out a half finished game and then make more money cultivating the hysteria of release with new updates
03:42:57 <Nothing\> enjoy the outdoors, dude
03:43:07 <Nothing\> hopefully i'll get enough energy to do that soon
03:43:16 <Nothing\> i'm feeling rather... what's that word
03:43:19 <Nothing\> anhedonic
03:43:20 <rust_collector> well, Nothing\ it sounds like you know that... so whyyy do you keep giving them anything?
03:43:39 <Nothing\> rust_collector, cuz like i said, some of the games are absolutely brilliant
03:43:53 <Nothing\> -but these days i usually just pirate a game and play it a bit to see if it's worth my money
03:44:05 <Nothing\> but sometimes you just can't find a game if it's too obscure
03:44:29 <Nothing\> like good like finding astra-256. Though that's actually a good game. If you could call it that.
03:44:54 <Nothing\> it's basically an 8 bit computer with 2kb of memory that you can program in assembly
03:45:13 <rust_collector> yes, I know you like weird non-games
03:45:32 <Nothing\> i finally wrote a program for it the other day
03:45:50 <Nothing\> heh you interact with it like an altair-8800 or pdp
03:46:00 <Nothing\> with the lights and switches
03:46:56 <Nothing\> which made me discover an interesting problem with writing a program directly to RAM. If I make a mistake, I can't exactly delete a value and then have the value of everything thereafter decrement so the rest of the code fits evenly
03:47:36 <Nothing\> the only way i've figured out to essentially 'backspace' a value in memory is to just write a NOP into it
03:48:08 <Nothing\> but with the restrictions to resources they had back in the day, I could see using NOP in place of backspace being really wasteful
03:48:30 <Nothing\> for example if i had something like
03:50:01 <Ysjoelfir> you must take yor joy immediately!
03:50:12 * Ysjoelfir talkes in weird electronic voices from.. that game
03:50:16 <Nothing\> $00:36 $01:35 $02:76 $03:22 then I wanted to remove the contents of $02, I can't think of any easy way to remove that, then decrement the address of eveyrthing ahead of it so it all fits snugly
03:50:38 <Nothing\> know what game had good electronic voices?
03:50:44 <Nothing\> impossible mission on c64
03:50:56 <Nothing\> or I think they made it for the NES as well.
03:51:07 <Nothing\> I know there were a few C64 games they ported to NES
03:51:21 <Nothing\> like MULE. MULE was one of the best retro strategy games ever
03:51:41 <Nothing\> and the first strategy game i ever played. Before I even knew what a strategy game was.
03:52:06 <Nothing\> It's one of those games that's so good, that I can still whip it out and play it from time to time
03:52:23 <Nothing\> which reminds me, i've been wanting to play castlevania 3 lately
03:52:38 <Nothing\> but I could never abide by the controls in those games on the NES
03:53:05 <Nothing\> I just can't stand platformers where you can't control yourself while you're in the air. Even if it's more realistic that way.
03:53:36 <Nothing\> or where you have slowly go up or down stairs and can't attack or jump or do anything while you're on them
03:54:02 <Nothing\> man i'm bored as hell
03:54:24 <Nothing\> maybe i should play LoZ Breath of Wild
03:55:07 <Nothing\> hands down probably the best game i've ever played in my entire life. Spent over 350 hours playing through it only to start over again immediately after.

04:00:30 <Watcher> i'am back

04:09:21 <Nothing\> oh, you guys hear bill and melinda gates are getting a divorce lol
04:09:35 <Nothing\> i dunno what's wrong with melinda, but she's not going for anything
04:09:50 <Nothing\> apparently he cheated on her
04:10:06 <Nothing\> he even hung out with what's his face, that super perv guy
04:10:10 <Nothing\> michael....
04:10:26 <Nothing\> died suspiciously in prison
04:10:35 <Nothing\> i keep wanting to say michael phelps lol
04:11:09 <Ysjoelfir> I have no idea what you are talking about. sounds like people.
04:11:21 <Nothing\> you would if i said his name
04:11:42 <Nothing\> was involved in a big child sex trafficking thing
04:11:50 <Nothing\> very rich
04:12:10 <Nothing\> prince andrew was heavily implicated in his operation
04:12:18 <Nothing\> ugh this is gonna bug me until i remember
04:12:27 <Nothing\> EPSTEIN!
04:12:31 <Nothing\> that's it
04:12:33 <Ysjoelfir> I highly doubt that I would
04:12:35 <Nothing\> just like the virus
04:12:42 <Nothing\> michael epstein
04:12:48 <Ysjoelfir> see, no idea who that is. I don't care about people
04:12:49 <Nothing\> you've never heard of him?
04:12:54 <Nothing\> good
04:12:59 <Nothing\> the less, the better
04:13:10 <Nothing\> i'd never heard of him until his arrest
04:13:40 <Nothing\> yeah he was a billionaire whose gf ran a child sex trafficking ring to fulfill his fantasies
04:13:51 <Lord_of_nothing> the show start in afiew minutes!
04:13:54 <Nothing\> he got busted and let off with a slap on the wrist
04:14:08 <Nothing\> then he got busted again last year or something and it was a huge deal in the media

04:14:25 <Nothing\> and supposedly hung himself in federal prison while supposedly on suicide watch
04:14:59 <Nothing\> but a lot of people think he was murdered, either so he wouldn't talk about other people or just cuz he was a piece of shit kiddy diddler
04:15:23 <Nothing\> cuz he was supposed to be checked on every 15 minutes in his cell
04:15:35 <Ysjoelfir> didn't you say that it is good that I don't know about that guy?
04:15:36 <Nothing\> and wasn't supposed to have anything he could hang himself with
04:15:46 <Nothing\> yup
04:15:53 Quit: knarfS ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
04:15:58 <Ysjoelfir> then... why do you tell me the story of his life?
04:16:15 <Ysjoelfir> so now I know about him
04:16:18 <Ysjoelfir> which is bad
04:16:18 <Nothing\> dunno, i guess it's interesting on a morbid level
04:16:43 <Nothing\> oh i just meant it was good that you didn't initially know about him cuz the fewer people who know about people like this the better
04:16:46 <Lord_of_nothing> YEY the ESC Party start!!!
04:16:48 <Ysjoelfir> interesting.... maybe, if I would care for people :D but that is nobody I know, so meh.
04:16:55 <Nothing\> but in retrospect, i think the more people who know about these people the better
04:16:59 <Ysjoelfir> Lord_of_nothing, do you make a contest with Ampera?
04:17:18 <Nothing\> as unpleasant and terrifying as it is, it's best to be aware that these types of people exist so we can help protect others from them
04:17:41 <Nothing\> Lord_of_nothing, lol your name confuses me when people talk to you
04:17:56 <Nothing\> your name is like, me + LOTR
04:18:28 <steve30> hehe, i didn't notice the two nothings :)
04:18:47 <Nothing\> i still need an alternate name to use when i can't use the name Nothing\ and Nothing is taken
04:18:52 <Ysjoelfir> steve, were you sleeping? :D
04:19:02 <Nothing\> i usually use HaloNothing, but that just doesn't roll off the tongue right
04:19:06 <Nothing\> you know what i mean?
04:19:49 <Nothing\> meant to be a reference again to Nothing Records how Reznor used to label his albums Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3, etc as he released them
04:19:58 <Nothing\> he still does, for all i know

04:21:02 <Nothing\> or alternatively i'll use the name Execrable_Piety, but now that I'm not atheist, even though I'm not Christian, the name still feels blasphemous to me
04:21:30 <Nothing\> although when i think about it, i really see nothing blasphemous about the name itself
04:21:34 <Nothing\> what do you guys think?
04:21:51 <Nothing\> lol DHess_US
04:22:08 <Nothing\> i've been wondering what self driving cars will do to the insurance industry
04:22:34 <Nothing\> liability insurance will be absolutely useless if you're not the one driving your car
04:23:45 <Nothing\> or what about cars that can be driven remotely. So if say, lil helga needs a ride to her rugby game and you have to prepare dinner, you can just give her a ride right from your living room couch
04:24:01 <Watcher> and who onws the car after dumping the guy
04:24:12 <Nothing\> then again, if your car can drive itself, why not ust program it to do the same thing?
04:24:22 <Nothing\> Watcher, his exwife
04:24:42 <Nothing\> oh snap
04:24:54 <Nothing\> i just realized i can stop paying child support in october
04:24:55 <Nothing\> yay!
04:24:56 <Nothing\> :D
04:25:43 <Nothing\> makes me feel sad and kind of old knowing my daughter's 18 and i haven't seen her since she was a kid but still
04:25:46 <Nothing\> the money thing's nice
04:27:04 <Nothing\> i'm so happy, i've been working on tapering off of my one medication and i've got my dose down to less than half it was initially
04:27:07 <Nothing\> almost a quarter
04:27:26 <Nothing\> i feel like i'm close to abstaining from it completely
04:27:53 <Nothing\> it just sucks cuz it takes 3 or 4 days of not taking it before i notice anything
04:29:25 Quit: flyback ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
04:29:32 <Nothing\> it also sucks that i had to start smoking pot and spend all of my money to get here, too. But I've felt trapped being on this stuff. So it's been a huge relief just knowing how much progress i've made and that it's possible for me to do.
04:30:18 <Nothing\> such a HUGE relief. Words don't do it justice.

04:32:24 <Nothing\> same with tits
04:32:50 <Nothing\> i think a b-c cup is just right. Don't need a woman with tits so big that she can't even walk properly. Literally.

04:33:39 <Nothing\> who knew that fibonacci was a perv
04:34:07 <Nothing\> flyback, exactly. Like with big asses like that. To me it just looks like a literal balloon
04:34:45 <Nothing\> hrm i should figure out how to upload code to this development board i have
04:35:19 <Nothing\> I got an SBC dev board for a 65c816. Which is basically a CMOS version of a 16 bit version of the 6502
04:35:33 <Nothing\> or the 65816 was the CPU used in the SNES
04:35:37 <flyback> yep
04:36:02 <Nothing\> i was surprised how similar the cpu in the SNES was to the NES. it's basically the exact same thing as the 6502
04:36:37 <Nothing\> in fact, i dunno about the NMOS version. But the CMOS version boots to 6502 emulation mode by default on powerup
04:36:58 <flyback> I don't think there was a nmos 65c816
04:37:02 <Nothing\> so for all intents and pursposes, you can use it exactly as a 6502
04:37:17 <Nothing\> no, the C denotes it's cmos
04:37:31 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
04:37:35 <Nothing\> 65816 is the nmos version, 65C816 is the cmos version
04:37:37 <Nothing\> heya Ampera
04:37:42 <Ampera> how are you doing Nothing\
04:37:46 * Nothing\ tackle hugs Ampera <3
04:37:52 <Nothing\> i'm doing great man, thanks for asking
04:37:55 <Nothing\> how are you?
04:38:05 <Ampera> just woke up from a nap

04:38:40 <Nothing\> flyback, heh i've got like 3 discreet 6502 chips. A CMOS one, and 2 which at least one is counterfeit
04:38:46 <Nothing\> hey kugelpony
04:39:08 <Nothing\> i always thought kugel was a funny word
04:39:27 <flyback> countrerfit or just cheap knockoff?
04:39:36 <Kuschelpony> Hello
04:39:47 <Ysjoelfir> Kugelpony.... Woult that be the chubby version of Kuschelpony?
04:39:49 <Kuschelpony> no i am not a spherical pony
04:39:58 <Kuschelpony> yep thgat would be
04:40:08 <Nothing\> flyback, i figure they're probably rejects from the plants that people scooped up
04:40:11 <Ysjoelfir> hehe
04:40:36 <Nothing\> like the one I have, the only markings it has is MOS 6502
04:40:43 <Nothing\> no datecode, or anything else
04:40:48 <flyback> speaking of
04:40:52 <Nothing\> and the MOS is barely stylized at all
04:40:57 <flyback> can't believe the early tv programming guides
04:41:06 <flyback> used rooms of atari 800s and apple II's
04:41:12 <Nothing\> tvs could be programmed?
04:41:19 <flyback> then amiga and then pentium II with NT
04:41:20 <flyback> no
04:41:23 <flyback> TV PROGRAM GUIDE
04:41:31 <flyback> THE THING THAT SCROLLS THE CHANNELS AND WHAT IS SHOW
04:41:32 <Nothing\> i still don't follow
04:41:34 <flyback> YOU STUPID CANUCK
04:41:46 <Nothing\> whoa easy there buddy
04:41:57 <flyback> yeah I know I called you canadian
04:42:01 <flyback> take that
04:42:04 <flyback> :P
04:42:17 <Nothing\> i'm just asking you to clarify what you were saying. not insulting your dead grandmother.
04:42:18 <flyback> hang on I will show you what I am takling about
04:42:24 <Nothing\> alrighty
04:42:33 <Nothing\> i think i know what you mean though
04:42:53 <Nothing\> like on a satellite dish or digital box when you press "guide" the guide that comes up
04:43:48 <flyback> yes
04:44:00 <flyback> first ones ran on consumer computers
04:44:00 <Nothing\> i also just remembered the actual TV Guide channel
04:44:01 <flyback> :P
04:44:07 <Nothing\> did you guys have something like that?
04:44:09 <flyback> yeah that was preview channel
04:44:13 <flyback> tv guide bought it up
04:44:19 <flyback> that's who I was talking about
04:44:23 <Nothing\> ah lol
04:44:36 <Nothing\> yeah i never gave any thought to the actual hardware that would run something like that
04:44:37 <flyback> by the time it was tv guide it was running on specialized pc hardware
04:44:39 <flyback> called hollywood
04:44:45 <flyback> but the early ones
04:44:50 <flyback> atari 800
04:44:52 <Nothing\> you wouldn't think it'd need to be anything fancy back in the days of analog tv
04:44:54 <flyback> apple II
04:44:54 <flyback> amiga
04:44:57 <Nothing\> like in the 90's
04:45:27 <flyback> 90's was amiga
04:46:06 <Nothing\> although i got this app note from TI about CRT displays and it had a table of the different clock speeds you'd need as display resolution increases, and it gets really fast really quick as they get bigger
04:46:14 <Nothing\> lol amiga

04:49:12 <flyback> yeah
04:49:14 <Nothing\> cuz that's more what i was imagining

04:50:24 <flyback> pop is what tv guide channel became
04:50:28 <Nothing\> the interface would take a good bit of kit, i'd imagine
04:50:35 <Nothing\> just converting line levels
04:51:17 <Nothing\> the channel technology connections has a really good video on how they used to do closed captioning

04:53:35 <flyback> he's funny sometimes
04:53:40 <rust_collector> heh, I get back here, and find it amusing that some guy is yelling canadian to a canadian, lol
04:53:40 <Nothing\> he is
04:53:46 <Nothing\> he's also getting rather shaggy
04:54:03 <Nothing\> you can tell it's been a while since he's been able to get to have his hair cut
04:54:22 <Nothing\> lol i eventually just gave up and bought clippers and now i just shave my head to like 1/4in
04:54:27 <flyback> oh he really is a canuck?
04:54:28 <flyback> HAHAHAH
04:54:51 <rust_collector> well, it is only partially his fault
04:54:53 <flyback> in that case

04:55:01 <flyback> BITE MY "CANUCK"..........................CANUCK!
04:55:05 <Nothing\> flyback, lol you didn't actually know i was canadian?
04:55:09 <flyback> NOPE
04:55:15 <Nothing\> good call, then
04:55:26 <Nothing\> you filthy limey
04:55:28 <Nothing\> :P
04:55:39 * Nothing\ shouts
04:55:48 <Nothing\> GOD SAVE OUR GRACIOUS PRIME MINISTER!
04:56:07 <rust_collector> the black squirrel!
04:56:27 <Nothing\> apparently black squirrels are the same as grey ones
04:56:35 <Nothing\> they're just different colors.
04:56:39 <rust_collector> no
04:56:52 <Nothing\> i always thought they were two different species. Like the grey ones and red ones.
04:56:53 <rust_collector> they are different, so they are different
04:57:18 <Nothing\> yeah i never understood taxonomy that way
04:57:37 <Nothing\> it's like, you can be totally different colors but still be the same species
04:58:08 <Nothing\> but if you look completely identical, save for maybe a small bump at the base of your skull, suddenly you're a whole distinct species
04:58:13 <Nothing\> know what i mean?
04:58:30 <rust_collector> if you mean that cow is one kind, human is a different one, and banana is a third, then ok, sure
04:58:51 <Nothing\> exactly
04:59:16 <Nothing\> lol my cat's licking one of his toys
04:59:30 <Nothing\> it's full of catnip and some sort of vine that's supposed to make them goofy like catnip
05:01:17 <rust_collector> have not you had enough issues with stuff like that? why do you have to mess up your cat also? I figured it was bad enough that you poison squirrels with peanuts....

05:19:29 <Ampera> how much do you wanna guess israel places last :P
05:19:49 <Nothing\> in what?
05:19:56 <Nothing\> the war for the gaza strip?
05:20:02 <rust_collector> they will try all they can to get last, so they can be miserable, like they are supposed to
05:20:27 <Lord_of_nothing> the germans looting currently some sinagoges
05:21:06 <Ampera> Nothing\, no, a far more grisly and horrific endeavor
05:21:08 <Ampera> a singing contest
05:21:23 <Ampera> well, technically a song contest
05:21:42 <Nothing\> eww
05:21:50 <Nothing\> so warcrime

05:30:50 <Ysjoelfir> hmm... civ vi..... sounds like a plan
05:31:45 <rust_collector> oh gawd, why have they not banned that song stuff decades ago
05:32:27 <Ysjoelfir> well, I banned that from my TV a decade ago
05:32:55 <rust_collector> that was around the time you won, wasn't it?
05:32:57 <rust_collector> lol
05:33:47 <Ysjoelfir> yeah, we won with that absolutely retarded lena girl that couldn't even sing.
05:34:38 <rust_collector> well, it was better than most stuff that has been on there, imo
05:34:47 <Ysjoelfir> I enjoyed that ESC thing when it realy was about the nations songs, like, having artists FROM that land singing songs IN THE LANGUAGE of the land they were representing.
05:35:12 <rust_collector> yeh, that is a thing
05:37:19 <rust_collector> like the finns talking shit abut all the other countries, because no one would notice anyway
05:37:43 <Ysjoelfir> haha :D Yeah, probably.
05:37:56 <Ysjoelfir> maybe the hungarians could kind of notice, but I doubt it
05:39:02 <rust_collector> nah. it is pretty different. it is more like they have the same system, 3 generations ago, but I do not think it they are similar enough.
05:39:46 <Ysjoelfir> Thats probably the case
05:41:23 <rust_collector> so, I found the fireplace thing outside. I think I can save it. it is mostly the fire bricks inside, that has fallen off
05:41:38 <Ysjoelfir> how long did you search for it?
05:42:27 <rust_collector> I had the coordinates, so it was more about getting a helicopter to drop me off there
05:42:45 <Ysjoelfir> that sounds easy enough.
05:43:31 <rust_collector> yeah, well, in most places, but most just said "no no, we no fly there mr sir. Is muy danger"
05:44:00 <Ysjoelfir> did you still not disarm the landmines in your backyard?
05:44:04 <rust_collector> I did find an old drunk guy, who agreed, but I don't think he was actually a pilot
05:44:37 <rust_collector> no, never, all those creepy neighbors...
05:45:34 <rust_collector> but after using the anti tank mines, with the little anti personel igniter things, they have been much more fun, and effective
05:48:39 <Ysjoelfir> cool, I should try that on my landlordladybitch
05:49:17 Quit: Nothing\ (~Shmendrick@cpe9050ca20a183-cm9050ca20a180.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) Quit: Leaving
05:52:18 <rust_collector> nah, just put her on fire, and watch her run
05:52:31 <Ysjoelfir> oh I would love to
06:06:06 <Lord_of_nothing> i dont like the spanish
06:06:45 <Ysjoelfir> then set them on fire

06:27:55 <MrMobodies> Hello
06:28:03 <MrMobodies> look what I found
06:28:04 <MrMobodies> https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-51294395
06:28:05 <rust_collector> hoioo
06:28:06 <EEVBot> [Title] - BT to charge people £50 for keeping old wi-fi routers - BBC News
06:28:19 <MrMobodies> they want to charge customers £60 to keep their old router
06:28:26 <MrMobodies> to reduce waste
06:28:41 <MrMobodies> but what if the customers wants to use the wireless radio for something
06:28:51 <MrMobodies> that's after the contract
06:29:00 <rust_collector> yes that is bullshit, but, it looks like it is nice and green
06:29:09 <MrMobodies> if my ISP did that to me, I'd say stuff the router it's yours you can have it bacj
06:29:24 <rust_collector> well, that is the point, so...
06:29:44 <MrMobodies> my ISP charged me £9.99 for each
06:29:52 <MrMobodies> it is mine after the contract
06:29:57 <MrMobodies> I don't use them of course
06:30:00 <MrMobodies> they have a flaw
06:30:28 <MrMobodies> anyone can log in port 80, all they have to do is type "engineer/engineer"
06:31:20 <MrMobodies> there are settings in the config where I can decrypt it but I can't sign it for it to accept and no key
06:31:44 <MrMobodies> I suppose they are just good as wifi, access points, there is a mode for that
06:31:55 <MrMobodies> wan port if managed by my pfsense router
06:32:06 <MrMobodies> supports system log but no telnet
06:32:17 <MrMobodies> even my isp didn't know there was engineers login
06:32:52 <MrMobodies> the talktalk hg651 did that but I had a python script and the correct key to encrypt and sign it
06:32:56 <Lord_of_nothing> i told my isp that i just want have a modem for manual dial in via DSL
06:33:07 <MrMobodies> the way to go
06:33:08 <Lord_of_nothing> My Business Router do the rest
06:33:12 <MrMobodies> I like it seperate
06:33:53 <Lord_of_nothing> I thought about a LTE Flat but the fix ip cost me to much
06:33:57 <MrMobodies> including the access points, I just switch them off unless I was using the router just for that
06:34:46 <Lord_of_nothing> lol you are happy to get permission to switch Wifi of at your Router.
06:35:07 <MrMobodies> yes that's a really good idea
06:35:16 <MrMobodies> a mode in their just as an access point
06:35:24 <MrMobodies> it was a DSL port, wan2 port
06:35:30 <MrMobodies> so it could be useful in some ways
06:35:37 <MrMobodies> I'll get them out later
06:35:54 <Lord_of_nothing> omg the french song is horribe got to visit the bathroom
06:35:55 <MrMobodies> if you are interested I can let you have a look at it
06:36:05 <MrMobodies> I;ll just port forward it
06:36:26 <MrMobodies> ooh french song made you to toilet
06:36:46 <MrMobodies> I don't hear many French songs
06:36:51 <MrMobodies> but I like their cakes
06:37:00 <MrMobodies> when they say chocolate they mean chocolate
06:37:06 <rust_collector> it is great. at least much better than the other ones
06:37:10 <MrMobodies> not a lousy cream
06:37:45 <MrMobodies> at the supermarkets like Terrible tescos and sainsbuy's I call their bakery the fakery
06:37:57 <MrMobodies> because their cakes to me look fake
06:38:34 <MrMobodies> chocolate eclair, 10% chocolate ontop, tiny little bit of chocolate, just bite into it and the whole disintegrates into cream
06:38:45 <MrMobodies> and makes a mess
06:39:00 <Lord_of_nothing> i would say the most watched youtube live feed on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msfdz_aksY8

06:41:18 <Lord_of_nothing> who australia is a part of it

06:41:32 <MrMobodies> oh
06:41:41 <MrMobodies> I wonder if is because England has left the EU
06:41:47 <MrMobodies> and they decided here
06:41:50 <MrMobodies> Lordofnothing
06:41:56 <MrMobodies> are you in us?
06:41:59 <MrMobodies> America
06:42:01 <rust_collector> no
06:42:02 <Lord_of_nothing> omg now Austria
06:42:17 <MrMobodies> and thats part of th eu
06:42:20 <MrMobodies> that's make sense
06:42:27 <MrMobodies> England is out of the eu
06:42:39 <MrMobodies> so they wouldn't allow non eu members
06:42:42 <rust_collector> eu does not really have anything to do with that
06:42:42 <Lord_of_nothing> sadly my country lost the 2nd semi finale
06:43:10 <Lord_of_nothing> since russia, australia is in
06:44:02 <MrMobodies> oh
06:45:33 <Lord_of_nothing> well UK never was fully in the EU
06:47:05 <MrMobodies> when I was school all those years
06:47:13 <MrMobodies> I didn't even know about the single market
06:47:23 <MrMobodies> or what was happening
06:47:50 <MrMobodies> apart from the low level theoretical bullshit they were shoving down my throat.
06:48:28 <MrMobodies> oh and dare start debate and they call you a trouble maker.
06:48:33 <MrMobodies> and backchatter
06:48:51 <MrMobodies> but even after that I never knew
06:49:15 <MrMobodies> it was only in 2005 when the immigrants were coming over in masses through France
06:49:44 <MrMobodies> and more in the 2015 when a poll started, lots of people giving leaflets on the streets

06:50:22 <MrMobodies> Must be an old, Britain still blue
06:50:31 <Lord_of_nothing> well you know why i order some special gear
06:52:00 <Lord_of_nothing> thats stuff is damn heavy but hopefully work
06:52:14 <MrMobodies> gear?
06:52:39 <MrMobodies> broadcasting gear?
06:52:55 <Lord_of_nothing> ballistic protection
06:53:21 <MrMobodies> violence in your place?
06:54:55 <Lord_of_nothing> well when the money is nothing worth and the pepole not have anythink to eat what will happen...
06:55:37 <MrMobodies> You mean people murder others for money so they can afford food
06:55:50 <rust_collector> they will eat the fat people first, is my guess
06:55:51 <MrMobodies> I thought Austria was a nice play
06:55:57 <MrMobodies> oop *place
06:56:23 <Lord_of_nothing> when the people get hungry to start to loot
06:57:04 <Lord_of_nothing> in the us the blm people looted supermarkets and stole tv, sneakers,...
06:58:01 <MrMobodies> oh well I am going to ave a little play with those ISP routers, I think they are technicolor
06:58:15 <MrMobodies> if you wantr i can port forward it and you can play around with it
06:58:21 <MrMobodies> at the moment that is what it is good for
06:59:38 <MrMobodies> whoever designed it was a genius, lock the user out of the config, hide telnet options and syslog (engineer menu for syslog) but allow access to port 80 and engineer/engineer.
07:00:01 <MrMobodies> so if there was a vulnerability they would have more control than I would
07:00:26 <MrMobodies> I can't stand that, giving crooks more control over stuff than I would ever get
07:09:13 <Lord_of_nothing> i am happy with my business router i can set everything usefull like a speed limit
07:09:32 <Lord_of_nothing> to avoid that a user capture the hole bandwith
07:09:43 <Lord_of_nothing> i have a cheap package with 10mb down and 1mb up
07:09:55 <Lord_of_nothing> i would say its enough wenn nobody play stupid
07:12:46 * rust_collector pours coffee on everyone.
07:45:34 * hsn everyone pours tea on rust_collector
07:46:33 <rust_collector> hah! tea has no effect on me.
07:46:58 <jaymax> Even compost tea?
07:47:10 <rust_collector> all tea is
07:48:11 <jaymax> That's a load of horsecrap ... that was waterboarded.
07:48:34 <rust_collector> more horses should be waterboarded
07:49:14 <jaymax> Not wrong there.
07:50:28 <Ysjoelfir> I assume kuschelpony would disagree
07:51:28 <rust_collector> well, people are into different things. I do not know how he feels about wet towels
07:52:52 <Ampera> welp, I've kicked Xen off my server, and have been trying out bhyve
07:52:56 <Ampera> and wow is it way faster than Xen
07:52:58 <Ampera> and better
07:53:05 <Ampera> and now I know why nobody uses Xen anymore
07:58:20 <rust_collector> are they done "singing" yet?
08:07:06 <rust_collector> I guess not

08:10:45 <EEVBot> electrohead: nega-tory, ghost rider!
08:10:49 <electrohead> EEVBot: give beer to Ysjoelfir
08:10:50 * EEVBot bathes Ysjoelfir in beer
08:10:55 <electrohead> would help to type correctly
08:11:04 * Ysjoelfir burps
08:13:39 <electrohead> how goes it and stuff?
08:14:09 <rust_collector> *buuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUuurp*
08:15:32 <Ysjoelfir> tired. and undecided
08:19:39 <rust_collector> I get mixed confusion from this: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/suchen-funktionsfaehiges-mikroskop/1727483475-23-8859

08:21:09 <Ysjoelfir> erm
08:21:58 <electrohead> undecided on what?
08:24:15 <Ysjoelfir> the guy is searching a microscope with a picture of a wolf in the category "for free"
08:24:41 <Ysjoelfir> oh you meant me
08:26:19 <Ysjoelfir> undecided on two things: a) NAS, nor no NAS, b) Get 2 20" 4:3 LCDs for my lab PC that are for sale for 55€ for two, or wait for some cheap NEC LCD2180UX or 2190UX, which seems to be the biggest 4:3 I could find.
08:28:36 <rust_collector> I wonder if I have been looking too far down the list, when microscope has a meter for "ion pump vacuum"
08:28:50 <MrMobodies> Every release of chrome and I find something silly

08:30:19 <MrMobodies> but the ancient internet explorer is fine and Chrome 88
08:30:32 <MrMobodies> what do you think of that?
08:31:06 <rust_collector> I think you have too many browsers
08:31:42 <MrMobodies> actually not this time
08:31:45 <MrMobodies> that was an old laptop
08:31:50 <MrMobodies> that happened to upgrade to Chrome 90
08:31:59 <MrMobodies> the ones it worked on were Chrome 88
08:32:07 <MrMobodies> so this seems ot be a recent change
08:32:40 <MrMobodies> you can see why I setup profile and keep the program in a different folder to keep it the same until it is required
08:32:51 <MrMobodies> but I do allow updates to happen in the main program files folder
08:33:14 <MrMobodies> where it loads the default profile in the /appdata/google/chrome
08:33:23 <MrMobodies> just incase things like this happen
08:33:32 <MrMobodies> that stops me working
08:33:56 <MrMobodies> so I'd thought I'd report for any developers who maybe listening
08:35:20 <MrMobodies> time for tea
08:35:26 <MrMobodies> nd picked onions
08:36:27 <Ysjoelfir> gn8
08:36:40 <rust_collector> night on you
08:50:54 <electrohead> sorry, got busy again here at the store

08:55:52 <rust_collector> BOX!
08:56:43 <DHess_US> Subwoofer enclosure.
08:57:08 <DHess_US> So yes, a box.
09:03:11 <MrMobodies> that' box looks nice
09:05:46 <rust_collector> good box
09:15:31 <DHess_US> I won't really know if it is nice until I put it back together and tune it. That is what the discussion thread is about. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/llow-frequency-ac-repsonse-of-digital-multimeters/
09:15:34 <EEVBot> [Title] - LLow Frequency AC Repsonse of Digital Multimeters - Page 1
09:15:43 <DHess_US> It's sure heavy. I made some improvements like adding bracing on the inside.
09:16:35 <DHess_US> My initial tests show that the enclosure size is correct, my the lower resonance peak is just barely outside the range that my best AC voltmeter can measure accurately.
09:16:44 <rust_collector> heavy is good. it keeps people from stealing it so quickly
09:18:05 <DHess_US> Here is the kit if you want to build one, https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-6-1-2-Down-Firing-Passive-Mini-Subwoofer-Kit-300-7160
09:18:06 <EEVBot> [Title] - Dayton Audio 6-1/2" Down Firing Passive Mini Subwoofer Kit
09:21:20 <rust_collector> hmm, 6.5" sub. that sounds... like it would work indoors. I am not sure if I have ever had a small sub like that. i do think the one kid #1 had was around that size, but in a slightly smaller box, and it was pretty damn loud
09:23:15 <rust_collector> i have not had any stereo stuff at all in many years.
09:33:44 <DHess_US> It definitely makes a difference in the sound. My tiny 2.1 amplifier has subwoofer volume and cutoff frequency controls.
09:34:18 <DHess_US> This is just for my computer. I broke the computer speakers I was using when I upgraded my system at the end of last year.
09:34:42 <DHess_US> So I picked up some two-way bookshelf speakers and now this subwoofer. I was using the old subwoofer but it pretty much sucked.
09:35:29 <MrMobodies> I am hoping one day I can get audio in this workshop without my headphones
09:35:37 <DHess_US> Every computer should have at least 50 watts per channel and a 100 watt subwoofer. Don't you think?
09:35:38 <MrMobodies> and a subwoofer
09:35:48 <MrMobodies> oh yes
09:35:55 <MrMobodies> large speaker is what I want
09:35:59 <MrMobodies> and low volume
09:36:16 <MrMobodies> that Technicolour router
09:36:21 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/9JXBMnM.jpg
09:36:24 <DHess_US> I used to have 15 inch three way speakers on my computer. Then there was no need for a subwoofer.
09:36:28 <MrMobodies> isn't that nice can be set as an access point
09:36:33 <MrMobodies> ooh thats big
09:36:35 <MrMobodies> 15 inch
09:36:42 <DHess_US> That's what she said!
09:37:14 <MrMobodies> I have got some Bang and Oulfseen 1975 speak I think they might be something like 7 inch or so
09:37:22 <MrMobodies> but they are 6 ohms I think
09:37:41 <MrMobodies> it is put away somewhere but I am thinking of using them in my workshop
09:37:52 <MrMobodies> when it is all finished
09:38:06 <MrMobodies> won't wake anybody up with those
09:38:21 <MrMobodies> it's an extension on the outer wall

10:02:03 <rust_collector> i am thinking about making one of the standard internet "headphone amplifier" things, I guess I will learn something from that as well.
10:02:28 <rust_collector> One thing I believe I will learn, is that I do not actually have any headphones
10:04:56 <DHess_US> Headphone amplifiers are pretty easy because at those power levels, 36 volt operational amplifiers have enough output range.
10:05:15 <DHess_US> Could even use a bunch of operational amplifiers in parallel.
10:05:21 <rust_collector> I like easy, lol
10:06:25 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - RT @Antonio_Di_Meo: @eevblog Hello Dave, greetings from Italy. https://t.co/YYSd6gA5kN
10:07:13 <rust_collector> Hmm, iIrc, the one I saw was just one opamp, and a bd 139, and a bd140, and one more little transistor. some resistors and a pair of diodes. I am not expecting much, but if it works, that is good enough for me
10:08:00 <rust_collector> well, I have seen the same circuit in 100 different places.
10:08:09 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - RT @The_Georgeee: @eevblog @engineers_feed The moment you realize the spoiler guy is Dave fucking Jones. Small world.
10:09:25 <rust_collector> hmm, I just had a shave, and I have somehow managed to cut myself in my ears. i thought that was sort of special
10:09:47 <DHess_US> There are a couple of options. The usual solution is complementary emitter follower inside the feedback loop but I don't like that one.

10:13:47 <DHess_US> I would do something like this, https://i.ibb.co/bLrFs6F/Figure-6-172-Voltage-Boosted-rail-rail-output-composite-operational-amplifier.png
10:14:17 <rust_collector> hmm, it is similar to the first two, but not quite. let me look at the last one
10:16:33 <DHess_US> You can find a variation of that last one going back to the 70s for exactly this application.
10:17:01 <DHess_US> Nobody uses it because they don't understand how it works.
10:17:11 <Nothing\> hey, i've been following this experiment. What's it do?
10:18:32 <rust_collector> hmm, I have to look at that a bit....

10:21:11 <rust_collector> the one I have been looking at, is I guess most similar to your first link, but it had a 3rd transistor.... iIrc, where the top resistor in the biasing part is... but I would have to find it again

10:38:24 <Ampera> I want to go to sleep, but I want to eat and do computer things
10:38:44 <rust_collector> you will develop a second stomach.
10:39:05 <Ampera> It'll end up being a minute stomach, but at least it'll be hour stomach.
10:39:22 <rust_collector> hurry up
10:44:14 <rust_collector> look at cows, they eat all day...
10:49:09 <rust_collector> DHess_US talking about stacking opamps... do you mean physically stacking them? I guess that would work in some cases?

11:05:11 <steve30> o/
11:10:49 <DHess_US> rust_collector, not exactly. Some means of balancing them for parallel operation is needed.
11:11:05 <DHess_US> There are a couple of ways to do that in the circuit.
11:11:33 <rust_collector> right. so similar to using parallel transistors?
11:12:44 <DHess_US> yes, except that the equivalent to base-emitter voltage is microvolts.
11:13:28 <DHess_US> And the voltage gain is 10s of thousands or even millions.
11:14:40 <rust_collector> hmmm, yes. well, I will look into that then. Not that I plan to do that.
11:15:02 <DHess_US> It isn't a terrible idea these days. In the past, operational amplifiers were too expensive to be used that way.
11:15:17 <DHess_US> But now it is almost reasonable.
11:16:10 <DHess_US> You won't get a lot of power that way, but headphones don't need a lot of power.
11:16:28 <rust_collector> i did a quick search, and many said it was almost impossible (to just stack them) and some said it could be done in some cases. behringer did in some model.
11:17:10 <DHess_US> They end up fighting each other because their input offset voltages do not match.
11:17:25 <rust_collector> no, but this could maybe be useful for something other than audio things, I guess, so I will have a look at that
11:18:35 <rust_collector> right. well, I will look that up tomorrow.
11:19:04 <rust_collector> thanks
11:20:30 <DHess_US> These are the two common ways:
11:20:36 <DHess_US> https://www.analog.com/en/technical-articles/paralleling-amplifiers-increases-output-drive.html#
11:20:43 <DHess_US> https://e2e.ti.com/blogs_/archives/b/thesignal/posts/paralleling-op-amps-is-it-possible
11:31:17 <rust_collector> those look pretty straight forward, and makes sense.
11:42:35 <MrMobodies> Hello
11:42:49 <rust_collector> HEY!
11:43:01 <MrMobodies> I tested that Kde plasma on a virtual machine
11:43:07 <MrMobodies> one thing I don't want it to do ever
11:43:08 <MrMobodies> is thos
11:43:09 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/QZkD8AI.jpg
11:43:37 <MrMobodies> I might be looking at something in the background you see and might move it around that menu
11:43:38 <rust_collector> oh, ubuntu
11:43:40 <MrMobodies> say setting the wifi
11:43:51 <MrMobodies> and it dim the screen and that infruriates me and hurts my eyes
11:44:07 <MrMobodies> I might try and email them
11:44:27 <MrMobodies> see what they can do to help
11:44:31 <MrMobodies> dimming madness
11:44:33 <MrMobodies> everywhere
11:44:42 <rust_collector> well, kde is pretty configurable, so I am pretty sure you can disable most of it
11:44:57 <MrMobodies> I hope so, if I can get the desktop up, that'd be a start
11:45:03 <MrMobodies> I have this little rubber pen
11:45:06 <rust_collector> are you going to try that on a phone?
11:45:08 <MrMobodies> for the small stuff
11:45:13 <MrMobodies> when I get the way I want
11:45:20 <MrMobodies> dimming I want gone in all shapes and form
11:45:33 <MrMobodies> the other stuff looks good
11:46:00 <MrMobodies> also I notice the when dims the virtual box slows down
11:46:13 <MrMobodies> it seems to consuming extra resource when it does that
11:46:36 <rust_collector> hmm, since you are mr browser around here... can I have the tab bars in firefox on 2 rows?
11:46:50 <rust_collector> well, I guess it does do stuff, so... probably yes
11:47:10 <rust_collector> I would not think it would do that much work, but... maybe
11:47:30 <MrMobodies> is this one
11:47:31 <MrMobodies> https://files.kde.org/neon/images/mobile/20210516-1708/
11:47:41 <MrMobodies> tab bars
11:47:56 <MrMobodies> I am not sure, lets see

11:50:27 <rust_collector> there is an addon, but I would like somethign built in
11:50:42 <MrMobodies> oh sorry one of the link aint working on the link
11:50:43 <rust_collector> oh, thanks. I will look at that
11:50:47 <MrMobodies> that'w ould be ideal

11:59:34 <MrMobodies> tab bars sorry
11:59:35 <rust_collector> ah yes. I was looking for the open tabs. but I think I might do bookmarks as well

13:15:41 <MrMobodies> that was on the Firefox 88
13:15:56 <MrMobodies> I'll just double check that i have not pasted it wrongly

13:23:37 <MrMobodies> but does the bookmarks work?
13:24:59 <rust_collector> bookmarks are fine
13:24:59 <MrMobodies> I forgot to say
13:25:08 <MrMobodies> that paste bin contains both scripts

13:28:15 <rust_collector> nah, it is not your fault
13:28:21 <rust_collector> yes
13:29:55 <rust_collector> it is ok, I can go sideways 2-3 tabs now and then

17:15:27 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: Cat Gives Her Dad Hugs All Day, Every Day | The Dodo Cat Crazy
17:15:51 <Kuschelpony> and with veryy clever math, you can sense for example 360 degrees of rotation with 9 sensors on one single track
17:16:19 <Kuschelpony> not like traditional encoder discs that need 9 tracks, one for each sensor
17:19:32 <Kuschelpony> trying to "digest" that pdf for now

17:48:34 <Halcyon> Ampera, you about?
17:48:45 <Halcyon> Anyone else want to play a game of Golf with your Friends?
17:48:57 <Erhard> huh?
17:49:04 <Halcyon> On Steam
17:49:11 <Erhard> Ah
17:49:19 <Halcyon> A few of us are playing
17:49:24 <Erhard> I don't think I have that.
17:49:33 * Erhard will kill youon CS:GO
17:49:41 * Halcyon is not a gamer
17:49:46 <Erhard> lol
18:00:28 <Ysjoelfir> mornings
18:00:40 <Kuschelpony> MoinMoin
18:01:01 <Ysjoelfir> I consider moving to the moinmoin region, so that fits pretty good :D
18:01:27 <Kuschelpony> so you are considering moving to north germany?
18:02:07 <Ysjoelfir> yep, back to where my family originated from. I grew up in the Ruhrgebiet, but originally the family came from hamburg
18:02:30 <Kuschelpony> ah
18:15:51 <Ysjoelfir> I think I'll play a good old game. Anybody happened to have played KKND back than?
18:24:22 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir, do you have an old DOS/Windows PC?
18:25:47 <Ysjoelfir> in parts that I want to make to a retro PC and build it in an apple powermac G3 case, yes
18:26:18 <Halcyon> I have a copy of Sim City 2000 Network Edition (which I assume is TCP/IP based). I have *never* played it
18:28:48 <Ysjoelfir> I have played Sim City.... maybe once. Was never realy my game. Though I realy enjoyed the modern 3D version
18:35:24 <Ysjoelfir> So, I decided that I'll not remake my NAS. All the features I wanted I never realy used, so.... meh. More hassle than its worth. Instead I try to get some used 1 to 2TB 2.5" HDDs to stuff in my PC.
18:36:28 <Ysjoelfir> Also I consider getting that cute little Case for my Lab Workstation. https://www.ebay.de/itm/133762732211?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

21:42:04 <rust_collector> hmm, you use laptop drives?
21:44:49 <rust_collector> wow, it looks like spinning laptop drives are pretty uncommon now. my local dealer only has 2 seagates, and the rest is ssds
21:48:38 <Ysjoelfir> yep, I have one of those neat 4x2.5" in 1 5.25" slot thingies.
21:48:50 <rust_collector> oooh
21:59:31 <Lord_of_nothing> Hey everyone
22:00:03 <Lord_of_nothing> there a lot of cheap ssd out there so i would not buy a hdd for an laptop
22:00:26 <Ysjoelfir> your definition of cheap is a different one than mint I guess
22:00:40 <Ysjoelfir> the cheapest 2TB SSD is WAY more expensive than a 2TB HDD
22:04:51 <rust_collector> heeeeeeeeyyyaaaaaaaaaaaa heeeeeeeyyyaaaaaaaaaaa

22:08:57 <rust_collector> welcome to the place usb cables go to disappear
22:09:35 <Ysjoelfir> hehe
22:10:21 <rust_collector> it is one of the big old ones, for the printer... no one wants that
22:11:35 <Ysjoelfir> maybe for nostalgic reasons
22:11:49 <Ysjoelfir> or for my microphone, that has that stupid thing as well
22:12:05 <rust_collector> I don't think anyone here is old enough to be nostalgic about these
22:12:17 <rust_collector> hmmmmmm
22:19:01 <rust_collector> does anyone need a battery charger for some random canon camera thing?
22:27:43 <Ysjoelfir> you could use that to make a nice PSU
22:28:05 <rust_collector> eeeeeeeh.....
22:28:12 <rust_collector> maybe,
22:28:24 <rust_collector> but if someone needs an old canon thing...

22:42:04 <rust_collector> wth is the thing about "I only made nicaraguan food for 24 hours" or...other countries.... I can skip eating for 24 hours no problem, so making maybe one meal should not be worth a video?
22:43:31 <Ysjoelfir> I agree. that sounds a bit... not hard
22:44:35 <rust_collector> and it turns out mcdonalds does takeaway in my selected country. I will do ok-ish
22:45:06 <rust_collector> one bag of cheeseburgers!
22:45:26 <coppice> It sounds like the next to last resort of someone who has run out of ideas for videos. The next step is making reality TV shows
22:45:40 <rust_collector> yes, that is the feeling I get
22:46:07 <rust_collector> if it was a month, that could maybe be interesting
22:48:09 <coppice> Pick a country and survive for a month on the McD menu in that country
22:48:58 <rust_collector> UNPOSSIBLE!
