00:03:18 <rust_collector> lalallalaaaa, party time!
00:08:50 <electrohead> o/
00:10:55 <rust_collector> oh crap
00:27:30 <T3sl4> you gotta fight, for your right, to paaaaaaaartay
00:27:39 <T3sl4> *marx breakdancing*
00:28:40 <rust_collector> those crazy germans...
00:29:00 <electrohead> lmfao
00:29:09 * electrohead throws sushi at everyone
00:29:49 * Ysjoelfir peels off that algae stuff and eats whats left
00:31:16 * rust_collector wraps his sushi in smelly trout, and puts it behind the fridge
00:32:23 <electrohead> :p
00:34:23 <rust_collector> ok, so today we have this thing: https://ibb.co/qFc7NJC
00:34:45 <rust_collector> that exists. I hope it was very very cheap
00:36:37 <electrohead> what is it?
00:36:59 <rust_collector> the thing for a hid headlight thing thing
00:38:12 <rust_collector> I mean, it is the thing you wire up between the door handle, and the door bell button
00:39:00 <electrohead> ahh
00:39:23 <T3sl4> it'll work for either
00:40:43 <rust_collector> I think I have 5 of these. 2 pairs, and this one. but none of them are exactly the same, lol
00:52:27 <T3sl4> DHess_US: https://i.imgur.com/tDm1VXE.jpg
00:53:19 <DHess_US> See, that is why I avoid Oaklahoma.
00:54:03 <coppice> T3sl4: It doesn't include the obligatory "no weirdos"
00:57:26 <coppice> T3sl4: this seems like a perfectly normal thing for HK. There are large buildings designed specifically to allow dragons to have a good view of the sea
00:58:50 <T3sl4> it's not a problem civil engineers would be required to handle, in a land locked city far from mountains
00:58:55 <T3sl4> so i can understand his concern

01:25:27 <rust_collector> you know
01:26:42 <Ysjoelfir> yes. exactly that
01:27:13 <rust_collector> this would be a nice day to take a nap...
01:34:10 <T3sl4> Ysjoelfir: good riddance, that rust guy sure is an assh

01:35:13 <Ampera> And we're back.
01:35:37 * T3sl4 hugs Ampera tentacularly
01:35:40 <Ampera> Only thing left to move is my weechat client
01:36:50 <T3sl4> why not move it to console
01:36:57 <T3sl4> wiichat port
01:37:22 <Ampera> because genesis does what nintendon't
01:38:44 <Ampera> hahahahaha
01:38:59 <coppice> weechat sounds like piss taking
01:39:00 <T3sl4> did anyone write linux for saturn? seems like it would be powerful enough, but fuck if i know how to deal with the asymmetrical processors
01:39:26 <Ampera> the server channel thing (root channel or whatever) created a 4.8GB log in my .weechat/logs folder
01:39:45 <coppice> T3sl4: would it need Saturnian language support, or something?
01:39:53 <T3sl4> tho saturn doesn't have much for networking, right? so, dreamcast would be the next best, and i think that's a thing already
01:40:25 <T3sl4> coppice: if it does eunuch odes, it's fine
01:40:45 <T3sl4> Ampera: so it was weeing in the corner, makes sense
01:41:20 <Ampera> I think I've also managed something almost impossible
01:41:29 <Ampera> I've managed to remember how to do a tar command without looking it up

01:44:53 <Ampera> aye
01:44:59 <Ampera> well I've been doing xvfp
01:45:01 <Ampera> but close enough
01:45:04 <electrohead> lol
01:52:14 <electrohead> ahh, p is for preserving permissions
01:52:23 <electrohead> yeah maybe I should start using that, too

02:42:55 <rust_collector> damn these gaming things... now they want me to try to put an ooold amd in a slightly less old computer, to see if it is better or worse
02:43:52 <rust_collector> I thought the amd bulldozer was sort of meh, even when it was new
02:45:10 <Ampera> yeah all of AMD FX was basically worthless
02:45:13 <Ampera> even when new
02:47:11 <rust_collector> well, I have told her she will have to get something newer, if she wants to do modern things... we will see
02:51:29 <Ampera> yeah, like a cyrix CPU
02:51:31 <Ampera> or something
02:54:30 <rust_collector> nah, this will be a motherboard upgrade. Oh well, I don't know a thing about modern confusers, so... blaah
02:55:01 <Ampera> just whatever you do, when you install the L2 cache chips onto the motherboard, make sure they're real ones
02:55:14 <Ampera> always consult your manual about how you need to jumper your CPU
02:55:30 <rust_collector> yes, I remember that part, lol

03:16:50 <Kuschelpony> hmmm
03:17:09 <Kuschelpony> <insert jokes with an veterinarian measuring bodyy temperatures here>
03:18:56 <DHess_US> The stick is hooked to the sliding part of the port so I can adjust the port length for tuning without taking everything apart.
03:21:07 <Kuschelpony> hihi, i know that thing
03:22:18 <Watcher> bye
03:22:44 <Kuschelpony> so far my tuning method was just to stack tube pieces outside, and messing with duct tape to seal
03:22:51 Quit: Watcher ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
03:24:26 <Kuschelpony> i have not yet searched for more background about the tuning variations, but can still say out of memory that your tuning of the vent to make the series resonance the middle of the paralell resonance is right for one specific box size to speaker eqzuvalent volume ratio, but there are much more to choose
03:29:08 <T3sl4> oh hey, so the vent width corresponds to coupling factor or something like that, yea? maybe it's too big then
03:33:41 <Kuschelpony> not exactly
03:34:19 <Kuschelpony> more that the tuning frequency of the vent has specific relations to the unvented resonance frequency, but depending on the Q of the unvented box various ratios might give best results
03:34:55 <Kuschelpony> but the math goes past my understandeing, with something like the filter types of butterworth and so have their poles spaced
03:35:08 <T3sl4> but the resonances aren't the vent, it's the cone and box, innit?
03:35:21 <T3sl4> you can't really fix that unless you put the vent somehow behind the cone
03:35:40 <T3sl4> which, i guess you kinda could, with a closely cut backing plate or something?
03:35:52 Quit: Tezzers ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
03:36:10 <Kuschelpony> ehm there are two resonances
03:36:25 <Kuschelpony> the one is between cone spring and box volume without vent
03:36:33 <Kuschelpony> thats the only to care for a closed box
03:36:34 <DHess_US> Looks like I can't shorten the vent enough to properly tune, which means I put too much stuffing in the box so the box looks too big.
03:36:45 <Kuschelpony> usually the box volume is set that this has a Q of 0,7
03:36:55 <DHess_US> Adding stuffing lowers the speed of sound, making the box seem larger.
03:36:58 <Kuschelpony> thats for a closed one
03:37:16 <DHess_US> Stuffing still affects the box volume in an ported enclosure.
03:37:29 <Kuschelpony> when you add a vent, the major resonance is now between the box and the inductivity of the vent, while the speaker stiffness and mass form theother resonance
03:37:30 <DHess_US> If the speed of sound is lower, then the box is larger.
03:37:53 <DHess_US> Right, but resonance also depends on the speed of sound, and adding stuffing changes that.
03:38:13 <DHess_US> I think I need to take some of the stuffing out to make it less dense.
03:38:25 <Kuschelpony> mmh, thats complicated Dhess, what you say is totally right for the middle and higher resonance modes, but as far as i know not happening at subwoofer frequencied, perhaps even the stuffing makes the volume smaller as it displaces air
03:38:47 <Kuschelpony> well and i remember the Elektor patent of the "Steam Box" in about 1971
03:40:37 <DHess_US> It is easy enough to remove some stuffing and measure again.
03:40:55 <Kuschelpony> yes, do please tell, im curious
03:43:04 <Kuschelpony> my last ported box was a bandpass subwoofer where i had an surprising good match of an 16cm bass driver, but made the vent too long so it has a huge resonance around 45Hz
03:43:34 <Kuschelpony> still have not tried to equalize that out, which might improve the overall efficiency

04:02:57 <Kuschelpony> bac kto electronic topics
04:03:13 <Kuschelpony> Dhess, in which direction, lower or higher tuning?
04:03:35 <Lord_of_nothing> Hoe to build a proximity mine?
04:04:53 <DHess_US> Kuschelpony, it was closer with the port at minimum length, but either the speaker and enclosure volume do not match, or I am doing this wrong.
04:05:29 <T3sl4> DHess_US: at low enough frequency, the stuffing doesn't have any effect; it's like a lossy capacitor, the change in value is frequency dependent
04:06:01 <Kuschelpony> dhess, yes the box volume has to be choosen right before
04:06:20 <DHess_US> It should have been.
04:06:21 <Kuschelpony> i think it must be for a Qtc around .5
04:06:58 <DHess_US> There was a major effect on the higher resonate peak so the peaks were much closer in amplitude without the stuffing.
04:07:35 <DHess_US> But I still can't get the port length short enough. I'm going to have to think about this.
04:08:45 <T3sl4> what's it do with no port?
04:08:51 <T3sl4> just the hole i mean :P
04:10:04 <DHess_US> It is pretty sensitive to the environment. I just having it sitting in my lap so that might explain it.
04:10:33 <T3sl4> lennyface
04:11:17 <Kuschelpony> oh thereis no "just the hole", you have to take at least the thickness of the wooden wall where he hole is :)
04:11:40 <Kuschelpony> plus some effects of the sideway air movement that add some invisible length
04:12:14 <T3sl4> well yeah ;)
04:12:29 <Lord_of_nothing> Aja Ich habe am Samstag meine Platten abgeholt.
04:12:36 <Lord_of_nothing> Bist du deppert damit kannst ned laufen
04:15:04 <Lord_of_nothing> jö heute spielts sissi in 3sat.
04:16:05 <Kuschelpony> i can not exactly remember but the end correction for the bassrefelx port was perhaps the same formula as the length correction for a cylinder coil with its end effects
04:16:41 <Kuschelpony> if i remember right, it was to add 45% of the diameter as the invisible length
04:20:12 <T3sl4> sounds reasonable
04:23:49 <rust_collector> old amd cpu stuck at 1.7ghz makes confuser slow(er), it seems
04:24:35 <Lord_of_nothing> well maybe you ride with a Locomotive who run with Win95...
04:26:04 <rust_collector> I never take public transport, I just hate anything green
04:26:45 <Lord_of_nothing> haha you sould ride in a german diesel train...
04:27:10 <Lord_of_nothing> its far from be green. The same when the Power come from Nuclear Powerplants...
04:27:25 <rust_collector> hoho, why should I, when we have american 2 stroke diesels from the 1950s here
04:29:05 <Kuschelpony> i miss a certain diesel train line that was replaced in 2020
04:29:30 <Kuschelpony> you really felt the power when the locomotive pulled the train out of the station and at the same time up a ramp
04:30:02 <Lord_of_nothing> haha I miss when an Aircraft take off. THATS impressive.
04:30:08 <Kuschelpony> other diesels for the flat local lines with the short trains (Schienenbus) were totally boring
04:30:17 <Lord_of_nothing> Expecially when the Pilot want show what is possible...
04:30:48 <Kuschelpony> i had on one occassion felt what possible when a recent electric train does accelerate...
04:30:59 <Lord_of_nothing> Someone know I want make my own Benzin - Electric Scooter.
04:31:18 <Kuschelpony> a short local train and up to the 4 Megawatt thats possible
04:31:47 <Kuschelpony> was a special situation where they had to clear a segment as soon as possible after other issues
04:32:18 <rust_collector> the new electric "trains" we have here, does accelerate very hard, but they are just oversized trams, and behave like it too. bouncing along.
04:33:00 <Kuschelpony> well usually they stay below something maybe 20% of whats possible
04:33:43 <Kuschelpony> on the other side, i do experience quite often harder stops, like "oopsie there should have been a train station"
04:33:56 <rust_collector> I like the way the old heavy trains just float along. the new ones feel like they forgot to put springs in them
04:34:31 <rust_collector> which I would not doubt, lol
04:35:18 <Ysjoelfir> "forgot"
04:35:27 <rust_collector> well
04:35:33 <rust_collector> something like that
04:36:06 <Ysjoelfir> "Oy jack, do we realy need those springi things?" - "yes boss, those are pretty esential for the comfprt of the passengers." - "comfort? wth, put that out of there!"
04:36:20 <Ysjoelfir> I mean, they probably cost a few grand?
04:36:32 <rust_collector> they are not cheap, no
04:36:50 <Kuschelpony> hmm the local trains "here" do "float" well and comfortable, but every generation gets louder again inside
04:37:22 <Kuschelpony> like the ET1440 now, where you hear in the whole train loud and clear the PWM whine of the motors
04:41:23 <Ysjoelfir> wth.... did I miss something? do I sit on a stash of platinum, or why are those getting so freakishly expensive?
04:41:25 <Ysjoelfir> https://www.ebay.de/itm/294188646037?hash=item447f027e95:g:LMwAAOSwqH9ew87k
04:41:54 <rust_collector> old geeks...
04:42:14 <Ysjoelfir> but I am a young geek
04:42:17 <rust_collector> I thought the one I found was pretty reasonable-ish
04:42:39 <rust_collector> 1300nok but that was a 56x
04:42:55 <rust_collector> square screen
04:44:01 <rust_collector> but if you get some one size larger, you can sell parts, and live in the cases
04:44:02 <Ysjoelfir> it depends. the 560 series are somewhat more rare, so between 100 and 200 is reasonable imho. the 550 are probably the most expensive ones, but the 540 series shouldn't be above 120-ish, at least I have seen them around like everywhere
04:44:07 <Ysjoelfir> lol
04:44:33 <rust_collector> I wonder if that one is still for sale
04:46:27 <rust_collector> nope, that one is gone
04:47:24 <rust_collector> But, there is this thing... I wonder if lemon needs one: https://www.finn.no/bap/forsale/ad.html?finnkode=213773517
04:48:02 <Ysjoelfir> heh, nice :P probably, that would be a nice thing for le mon
04:48:35 <rust_collector> it looks complicated enough to keep him busy for a little bit
04:49:48 <coppice> Ysjoelfir: there is optimal time to buy these things as the transition from instrument to junk, and just before they start gaining antique/museum piece status
04:53:09 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir did you bin that old radio yet? I wonder how they did the "backlight" thing in those
04:53:37 <coppice> Ysjoelfir: the blue case of that one is a little tatty, but the interior looks like it has been through a major restoration
04:54:50 <Ysjoelfir> coppice, yeah, sadly the 500 series are getting pretty expensive in general. reason for that is probably because of some of the tubes as well, some models have some pretty rare and expensive ones in there. Like a pair of E55L.
04:55:11 <Ysjoelfir> rusty, nope its actually pretty high on my "to do soon" list :)
04:55:29 <rust_collector> ok
04:55:47 <Ysjoelfir> I would not bin that :D I like it a lot.
04:56:02 <rust_collector> they just keep popping up for sale, and the light looks too even to be just 2-3 bulbs
04:56:32 <rust_collector> so I have been wondering how they did that, lol
04:56:55 <coppice> nice even backlighting is not exactly rocket surgery
04:57:37 <rust_collector> good, so that is reserved for boomboxes, I guesssss?
04:58:13 <Ysjoelfir> I think I will fix that one soon and take a few pics for you
04:59:05 <rust_collector> oh good, then I don't have to look in peoples dumpsters, to find out
05:01:47 <Lemon> whattt
05:01:51 <Lemon> a 20Ghz scope ??
05:02:14 <rust_collector> well, you know, it is "vintage" ish
05:02:27 <rust_collector> you can not expecct much more from that time
05:02:51 <Lemon> thats quite impressive !
05:03:01 <Lemon> I mean, 1988 thats quite recent in the grand scheme of things lol
05:03:08 <rust_collector> eeh, ok
05:03:20 <coppice> developed specifically support the development of fibre communications
05:03:26 <rust_collector> say hi to your mom, the dinosaur
05:03:36 <Lemon> how much is 9k kr ?
05:03:38 <Ysjoelfir> speaking of stuff made from platinum... wtf? https://www.ebay.de/itm/264843190668?hash=item3da9e2618c:g:PMEAAOSwHM9fJ8r9#
05:03:39 <Lemon> just for reference
05:03:51 <rust_collector> I am pretty sure it is pertty special purpose, and probably awkward to use
05:03:54 <Ysjoelfir> 900€
05:04:06 <Ysjoelfir> 10NOK is roughly 1 euro
05:04:18 <rust_collector> 881.44 euro
05:04:45 <Lemon> thats quite cheap
05:05:01 <Lemon> I keep thinking that my 500Mhz scope is quite overkill for me lol
05:05:11 <rust_collector> well, it is there, if you fancy a road trip...
05:05:12 <Lemon> but at least, its nice to visualize 100Mhz signals
05:05:32 <Lemon> from what I understand its always good to have multiple time the bandwith of what you want to look at
05:05:56 <Lemon> like for probes, im eyeing a 1Ghz fet probe for it, its not that expensive, but in a couple months not now
05:06:07 <Lemon> now I want a nice book, and start it
05:06:13 <Lemon> art of electronics or something ?
05:06:19 <Lemon> somebody told me about it
05:06:24 <Lemon> or if you know a better one
05:06:35 <Lemon> I want to start from zero, now that I have tons of gear
05:06:42 <rust_collector> jeebus in the desert is a pretty good story
05:09:31 <Lemon> but with that 20Ghz scope
05:09:45 <Lemon> I dont fully understand, but it seems different than a regular digital scope
05:10:03 <coppice> its not a regular 20GHz scope
05:10:03 <Lemon> can you measure regular low bandwith signals with it ?
05:10:07 <Lemon> or they will look weird
05:10:16 <rust_collector> it is probably a pain in all your parts to use, I dunno?
05:11:14 <Lemon> ho im just curious, because 20Ghz for that price... there must be a catch, there is a catch, for sure
05:11:20 <Lemon> but what exactly, im interested to know
05:11:33 <coppice> Its not a real time scope
05:13:15 <Lemon> yeah I saw that, but is that a big issue ?
05:13:21 <Lemon> seems it averages
05:13:42 <coppice> depends how repetitive your signal is
05:13:54 <rust_collector> looking at a 20ghz anything seems pretty much like a waste of eyes
05:15:51 <rust_collector> Lemon get this, and see if it is something you are into reading: https://mek.oszk.hu/02500/02540/index.phtml#
05:16:17 <rust_collector> https://mek.oszk.hu/07300/07377/index.phtml#
05:18:47 <Lemon> thanks rusty im taking a look
05:19:03 <rust_collector> good luck
05:20:07 <Lemon> oof yes ofc I cant translate it with my version of word
05:20:20 <rust_collector> 5.5?
05:20:24 <rust_collector> 5.0?
05:24:40 <Lemon> heeeh I closed it wait
05:25:20 <Lemon> hmm got it in pdf but I cant translate it either

05:25:29 <rust_collector> it was not what I was looking for, but... maybe I will find it some day
05:27:28 <Lemon> ok I will ask on the forum about the ths710a, a guy said he managed to get the sampling rate of the 730, and turn it into a 720p
05:27:41 <Lemon> so basically, get 100Mhz, 1Gs/s, and power/harmonic analysis tool
05:27:46 <Lord_of_nothing> @rust_collector jó estét
05:27:56 <Lemon> that would be dope af as the kids says
05:28:15 <Lord_of_nothing> Hogy vagy?
05:28:24 <rust_collector> hmmm? morning to you too
05:29:15 <Lord_of_nothing> Most tanulok magyarul.
05:29:43 <rust_collector> cool, have fun with that.
05:30:15 <Lord_of_nothing> haha the good think when we are permit to travel is just need to drive ~60min to speak with a lot of natives
05:30:19 <rust_collector> I think it is an interesting place, so knowing a bit of the language could mean a great vacation for you some time
05:30:48 <rust_collector> I am allowed to travel....
05:30:54 <rust_collector> NA NA!
05:31:17 <Lord_of_nothing> lol I will buy some camo cloth soon and will cross the green boarder
05:32:58 <rust_collector> well, that is one way to do it. the other way, is to buy a large hot pink van, and wear hi-vis, and just go thru the border, and act like you are allowed to
05:33:15 <Lemon> I think the instrument I really want the most, but that is wayyyy outside of my budget (and most people's I think) is a keithley 2450
05:33:33 <rust_collector> that, and a tuba
05:34:45 <Lemon> or any SMU, tbh
05:38:33 <Lord_of_nothing> Herr Kuschel?

05:39:19 <Kuschelpony> betetr to read through forum in TEXT
05:40:34 <Lemon> heh rust_collector I bought two aneng products yday !
05:41:08 <rust_collector> oh no! RUN RUN, next thing will be an uni-trend
05:41:13 <Lemon> a little 3 euros battery tester (for AA, 9V batteries, etc) that I will probably give to my mother so she can test her batteries
05:41:38 <Lemon> and a 9 euros phase tester, it looks quite decent for what its supposed to do, I will use it at my flat as I suspect some funny things happenning there
05:41:59 <Lemon> ho and a 11 euros voltalert fluke pen too ! lol
05:42:04 <Lemon> I always wanted on of those, mostly for fun
05:42:19 <rust_collector> where is the fun in that?
05:42:22 <rust_collector> psssssht
05:42:29 <Ysjoelfir> lemon
05:42:35 <Lemon> yes
05:42:45 <Ysjoelfir> when do you finally get the one and only instrument you will ever need?
05:42:58 <Lemon> the 502a ? xd
05:43:02 <rust_collector> brains are expensive, Ysjoelfir
05:43:14 <Lemon> I have 2 brains
05:43:23 <Lemon> an analog and a digital one
05:43:25 <Ysjoelfir> exact. a 502A
05:43:36 <rust_collector> if you sell them, you can get a house with scope parts inside
05:43:47 <Lemon> heh I mean, I almost bought a 466 with the dm44 module for 40 euros, but it was already sold :(
05:43:52 <Lemon> quite a bargain if you ask me
05:43:59 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DmF6gutafk
05:46:29 <Ysjoelfir> thats a strange language
05:46:41 <rust_collector> uhm, you could say that
05:47:01 <Ysjoelfir> but that looks pretty nice
05:47:22 <Ysjoelfir> and it has mayonnez in it!
05:49:25 <rust_collector> i wonder how much rpm those salad spinners can take...
05:49:44 <Ysjoelfir> i tried very hard to kill ours quite some times. didn't succeed
05:50:20 <rust_collector> couple it to a grinder? if you give it 12k on the handle, something has to happen?
05:50:21 <Kuschelpony> DHess_US, i think i have found a good paper for you
05:50:23 <Kuschelpony> http://mariobon.com/Storia/pdf/1930_Bell_Bass_Reflex_Enclosure_Design.pdf
05:50:35 <Ysjoelfir> Nah, where is the challenge in that?
05:50:55 <Ysjoelfir> I like the vinnaigrette she does there.
05:52:07 <rust_collector> well, you have to fix it, and make it work at that speed, then you have to upgrade your power source...then rebuild it better, then the government will give you a pension and house far from people, if you agree to not tell
05:52:24 <Ysjoelfir> lol
05:53:00 <rust_collector> a rocket powered salad spinner.... yum yum
05:53:54 <Lemon> is kyoritsu a good brand ?
05:54:16 <Ysjoelfir> yep
05:54:30 <Lemon> I saw dis https://www.leboncoin.fr/outillage_materiaux_2nd_oeuvre/1986979794.htm?ac=206978287
05:55:14 <rust_collector> butt damnit lemon, I told you to get one of those a week or two ago.....
05:55:40 <Lemon> lol rusty please, im waiting for good occasions !
05:55:55 <Lemon> and well now that I have the big ac/dc clamp and the small ac one
05:56:05 <Lemon> ok its more convenient etc
05:56:18 <rust_collector> you can put the clamp in your nostrils, and you will always have it where you need it
05:57:08 <Lemon> looks to be a cheap model tho
05:57:14 <Lemon> https://www.fixami.fr/kyoritsu-kewtech-kt200-pince-numerique-ac-dc-600v-kt2000001a.html#googleshopping
05:57:24 <rust_collector> yeah, I think those are sold in 200 brands
05:58:36 <rust_collector> but they are super handy for car stuff, and such, because you can hang it by the clamp, and probe around, without it dropping down between the turbo and something else that is glowing dull red
05:59:03 <Lemon> thats true yeah
05:59:16 <Lemon> I thought about grabbing one if I find a really good bargain
06:00:02 <Lemon> yeah this one is a cheap
06:00:04 <Lemon> cheapo
06:00:10 <Lemon> not a real kyoritsu
06:00:49 <Lemon> doesnt do DCI anyway
06:00:55 <Lemon> so not the best for car use
06:02:26 <Kuschelpony> http://www.mh-audio.nl/Calculators/impedancecurve.html
06:02:28 <Lemon> the big one I have will be nice for it, surely not as handy as a all-in-one
06:02:35 <Lemon> but it got two ranges, 200 and 2ka
06:02:48 <Kuschelpony> interesting, i did not knowed how well the serial resonance dip is useful for leak testing
06:07:55 <rust_collector> hmm, the wifes iron gets up to 200 degrees
06:13:55 <Lemon> lick it !
06:15:24 <rust_collector> talking about weird language... this is the same, but she sounds much more drunk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB3RNBiwk48

06:34:24 <Lemon> thats weird, most esd mats I find for sale dont have any connections to ground
06:35:02 <Lemon> I thought about getting one, for when I'll move my lab to my flat
06:35:09 <Lemon> as I'll get a bigger space to work
06:35:26 <Lemon> why not get one of those for peace of mind
06:36:06 <rust_collector> piece of mind was nice. maiden england

06:39:47 <Lemon> this one looks to be better than others
06:40:13 <rust_collector> that does not really say much
06:41:21 <rust_collector> but yes, they are very handy things
06:47:29 <rust_collector> and i really like those tfxtdol clamp socket things.
06:49:23 <MrMobodies> Just discovered somed stuff on Firefox in youtube, one about:config name has been changed which is that fullscreen dialogue alert
06:49:47 <MrMobodies> and another annoying this is fading when entering and exiting fullscreen
06:49:49 <MrMobodies> full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter 0
06:49:49 <MrMobodies> full-screen-api.transition-duration.leave 0
06:49:50 <MrMobodies> full-screen-api.warning.delay 0
06:49:50 <MrMobodies> full-screen-api.warning.timeout 0
06:50:00 <MrMobodies> much better now setting them to 0
06:50:13 <MrMobodies> and it is instant, no fade needed to appease me
06:50:57 <MrMobodies> it transitions, in fact faster than Chrome that stuff not needed more of a hinderance

06:58:53 <MrMobodies> that looks thick that tape
06:58:57 <MrMobodies> the clear one
06:59:08 <rust_collector> yes, it does
06:59:31 <rust_collector> I guess that can be useful some times
06:59:36 <Ampera> Pulling apart and reassembling my old server reminds me of just how sketchy it is
06:59:37 <MrMobodies> what are those black things on tht cake?
06:59:39 <MrMobodies> seeds?
06:59:46 <rust_collector> yes
07:00:08 <MrMobodies> I thought'd might have been a bit of chocolate flakes at first
07:00:12 <Ampera> this box could do with a better board and PSU
07:00:30 <rust_collector> I am sure chocolate would work well on those
07:00:31 <MrMobodies> is that the old IBM one with the 3.2GHz?
07:00:39 <MrMobodies> and 2mb of cache
07:00:58 <MrMobodies> oops dual 3.2Ghz 2mb cache
07:00:58 <Ampera> no
07:01:08 <Ampera> this is my X5650 box
07:01:23 <Ampera> what, up until this weekend, ran my website and ZNC
07:01:29 <Ampera> and a few other bits
07:01:30 <MrMobodies> ooh that's the single hp one
07:01:34 <Ampera> yeah
07:01:38 <MrMobodies> I nearly forgot about that
07:01:40 <Ampera> the board sucks ass
07:01:57 <Ampera> the 24 pin connector is nonstandard so I had to hack it together
07:02:04 <DHess_US> <Ysjoelfir> https://www.ebay.de/itm/294188646037?hash=item447f027e95:g:LMwAAOSwqH9ew87k
07:02:06 <DHess_US> I have one of those.
07:02:17 <Ampera> the front panel connector is whatever
07:02:19 <MrMobodies> I think I had something like that n the G5
07:02:28 <MrMobodies> the mini sas cage
07:02:38 <MrMobodies> that had wide connectos to the p400
07:03:05 <Ampera> and because it's supposed to be for an HP Z400 workstation, it requires F1 to be pressed when it boots because of BIOS errors about missing headers
07:03:10 <DHess_US> <Lemon> a 20Ghz scope ??
07:03:19 <DHess_US> Fasted scope in my house is only 14 GHz. :(
07:03:22 <Ampera> with, as I recall, no setting to disable that in tge BIOS
07:03:25 <DHess_US> Fastest
07:03:36 <DHess_US> <Kuschelpony> DHess_US, i think i have found a good paper for you
07:03:37 <DHess_US> <Kuschelpony> http://mariobon.com/Storia/pdf/1930_Bell_Bass_Reflex_Enclosure_Design.pdf
07:03:39 <MrMobodies> I remembered it some HP motherboards doing that with unsupported cpu's
07:03:51 <MrMobodies> even though the chipset supports it
07:03:53 <DHess_US> Thanks, I 'll check that out. I got it tuned but am not completely satified with the peaking.
07:05:04 <MrMobodies> https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/br0AAOSwtLRcy~V5/s-l1600.jpg
07:05:10 <MrMobodies> looks like a good workstation board
07:05:37 <MrMobodies> My gigabytes p4 had 6 memory slots
07:05:40 <MrMobodies> not often I find that
07:05:57 <MrMobodies> I think that a 8PENXP I think
07:07:03 <MrMobodies> wow, the G6 I have only has a few 8x pci slot whereas that board has a 16x
07:07:43 <MrMobodies> and the cpu holes look good, I don't see any tracers near the board
07:08:14 <DHess_US> I ended up with the cheapest dual PCIe x 8 board I could find that supports ECC, Asus PRIME X570-PRO
07:08:14 <MrMobodies> where they can get crushed between the heatsink bolts
07:08:58 <Lemon> DHess_US only 14Ghz :> I consider my tds 540 overkill already ! but I wouldnt spit on one of those bigbois :>
07:09:21 <DHess_US> Lemon, it isn't what you think since 14 GHz is sampling oscilloscope territory.
07:09:44 <Lemon> yeah I know, its a different kind of beast but still
07:09:47 <Lemon> quite impressive !
07:09:53 <DHess_US> Sampling oscilloscopes are pretty specialized. They are not very useful for general purpose applications.
07:10:06 <Lemon> I did read a bit about those earlier
07:10:37 * Ampera squeezes the Lemon
07:10:51 <Lemon> frouich
07:10:53 <Ampera> how are you, citrus guy?

07:10:54 <Lemon> how you doing ? :>
07:10:58 <MrMobodies> that' looks good too
07:11:02 <Lemon> shit, too slow !
07:11:05 <Lemon> im ok and you ? :P
07:11:08 <MrMobodies> I see it has a mechanism already installed for the fan
07:11:12 <Ampera> you guys almost won the ESC yesterday
07:11:19 <Lemon> yeeeee lol
07:11:19 <MrMobodies> and an overkill of caps and regulators and metal
07:11:19 <DHess_US> I've made good use of it though. https://ibb.co/gDx3hC0
07:11:27 <Ampera> alright, I switched the ZNC over to the new server
07:11:28 <Lemon> well, it was boring, lets be honest
07:11:35 <Lemon> (our singer)
07:11:36 <Ampera> the french song?
07:11:37 <MrMobodies> https://www.vortez.net/articles_file/43673_asus_prime_x570-pro_cpu.jpg
07:11:39 <Lemon> yeah
07:11:46 <Ampera> she looked nice, but it's not a looks competition
07:11:47 <Lemon> super generic boring stuff, as always
07:11:58 <Ampera> germany's wasn't great either
07:12:00 <Lemon> yeah she's cute, a copy of edith piaf
07:12:18 <Ampera> but we only got 3 points
07:12:55 <DHess_US> MrMobodies, since it was intended for overclocking, it is overkill on the CPU regulators but I'm only running my at 65 watts.
07:12:58 <Lemon> yeah ho well
07:13:04 <Lemon> lets not talk about england lol
07:13:10 <Ampera> haha
07:13:11 <DHess_US> I would have preferred something which didn't need a chipset fan
07:13:15 <Lemon> new record I think
07:13:22 <Ampera> nah, they're the best
07:13:24 <Ampera> at losing
07:13:49 <Ampera> Italy's was good, but I think my favorite was Ukraine's
07:14:25 <Lemon> I didnt watch all of it but my mother liked ukraine too
07:16:25 <Lemon> hmmm I was looking at logic analyzer, as I kinda want to fiddle with those and learn a bit
07:16:41 <Lemon> the dslogic plus seems to be the thing to get for a good bang/buck ratio
07:16:56 <Lemon> looking at salae stuff (I guess dslogic is a clone ?)
07:17:17 <Lemon> what justify the bigass price difference ? specs looks mostly the same, is it because of RD and software ?
07:17:26 <Lemon> ofc a clone is cheap I get that
07:17:31 <Lemon> but if I needed to buy one
07:17:42 <Lemon> what a salea would offer me over a dslogic plus ?
07:17:50 <Lemon> saleae
07:17:53 <Lemon> aeaea

07:25:30 <Lemon> well Im using a qwerty nowadays
07:25:33 <Lemon> so no lol
07:25:34 <rust_collector> I still weigh the same
07:25:49 <Ampera> no asquirty?
07:26:18 <rust_collector> which is weird. that tells me how little I do at work, because I have been sitting here for a month
07:26:41 <Lemon> no azertyuiop
07:27:07 * T3sl4 asquirts Ampera with chocolate syrup
07:27:30 <rust_collector> åqpwoeiruty is the best layout, imo
07:31:47 <Ampera> T3sl4, no squirting unless you intend to marry please
07:32:15 * T3sl4 insistently squirts some more

07:52:59 <Reg7805> hello everbody
07:53:57 <Reg7805> hello everybody!!!
07:58:19 <DHess_US> Lord_of_nothing, pretty thumpy now.
08:06:55 * T3sl4 hugs Reg7805 like an electrolytic capacitor
08:10:08 <Ampera> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/575356058818838539/846146834426363984/20210523_180139.jpg
08:10:46 <Halcyon> Looks like one of those servers you find in abandoned buildings but have been left running for many years
08:10:51 <Ampera> haha
08:10:53 <Ampera> hi Halcyon
08:10:57 <Halcyon> Herro
08:10:59 <Ampera> how are you
08:11:06 <Ampera> are you working today?
08:11:09 <Halcyon> I have a cold :(
08:11:15 <Ampera> good
08:11:15 <Halcyon> No, I'm off until Thursday
08:11:20 <Ampera> so you can keep me company
08:11:24 <Halcyon> Yep
08:13:32 <Halcyon> Ill be back shortly, got to take my car up the road to get serviced
08:13:41 <Ampera> everything there except a gigabit switch is on 240v
08:13:59 <Ampera> have fun
08:16:45 <Lemon> heh those dslogic looks really neat from what I read
08:18:07 * Halcyon coughs at Ampera
08:18:12 <Ampera> aww
08:18:20 <Ampera> I love your covid
08:18:37 <Halcyon> I thought you would
08:18:39 <Halcyon> Back soon
08:19:21 <Ampera> <3
08:21:08 * T3sl4 hugs Halcyon with a Lemon
08:23:22 <Halcyon> Back
08:23:55 * Halcyon throws limes back at T3sl4
08:24:20 * T3sl4 takes the limes and rums with them
08:25:30 <Ampera> that was quick
08:26:11 <Ampera> yeah that top server (used to be my old one, will be refactored into my storage server) is just a bucket of sketch
08:26:22 <Ampera> I have 6 drives on that backplane on a single molex branch
08:26:25 <Ampera> and not a particularly beefy one
08:26:31 <Ampera> oh well, it hasn't caught fire yet
08:26:40 <Ampera> and I have SATA power to molex in the mail
08:27:53 <DHess_US> I always buy power supplies based on the number of drive connectors.
08:28:16 <Ampera> This server was from a time when I couldn't afford anything besides what I had
08:28:46 <Ampera> and because the 24 pin on that board is proprietary, and I hacked the connector together on that thing, unless I hack another, the PSU goes with the board
08:28:57 <Ampera> new board and new PSU is definitely in the wish list
08:29:16 <Ampera> I actually have two X5650's so maybe I can find a dual socket 1366 board
08:29:24 <Ampera> would be good for extra RAM capacity
08:32:04 <MrMobodies> the raid controller
08:32:06 <MrMobodies> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/575356058818838539/846146834426363984/20210523_180139.jpg
08:32:22 <MrMobodies> is that a zero raid?
08:32:25 <MrMobodies> oops controller
08:32:31 <Ampera> zero controller?
08:32:41 <MrMobodies> aah nevermind too large
08:33:00 <MrMobodies> some boards had a scsi controller on
08:33:04 <MrMobodies> and they made the raid optionak
08:33:17 <MrMobodies> so they had these pci plug in cards with the raid processor on it
08:33:20 <MrMobodies> known as zero raid
08:33:25 <MrMobodies> where they'd be on the sam ebus
08:33:30 <Ampera> https://www.ebay.com/itm/182739023209
08:33:33 <MrMobodies> 1024mb sounds to large
08:33:38 <Ampera> that's the controller I bought
08:33:39 <MrMobodies> they had like 64 to 128mb
08:33:48 <Ampera> (for less than what that listing is asking)
08:33:58 <MrMobodies> aaah I think you showed me that one
08:34:01 <Halcyon> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W0Pa6805lY
08:34:02 <Ampera> yeah I paid 60 bucks for pretty much that one
08:34:06 <MrMobodies> and it had a battery not a cap
08:34:18 <Ampera> no mine has a cap
08:34:35 <MrMobodies> oh
08:34:41 <DHess_US> Ampera, on a lot of my old power supplies, some of which are still in use, I cut the molex connectors off and spliced in three for every one. I got the extras from other dead power supplies.
08:35:03 <DHess_US> Soldered splices are much more reliable than molex splitters.
08:35:09 <Ampera> I was very tempted to hack the SATA connectors off and solder on some old molex branches
08:35:21 <Ampera> but I'd rather use adapters personally
08:35:29 * Halcyon adapts Ampera
08:35:35 <MrMobodies> benefits are the caps could be replaced wiht the same type
08:35:46 <Ampera> Halcyon, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cof8v8u3I5M
08:35:48 <MrMobodies> I have a few controllers I couldn't even get the batteries for them anymore
08:36:05 <Ampera> I basically won't be using the batteries, because afaik, the RAM cache is unusable in HBA mode
08:36:06 <Halcyon> Hehe cute birb
08:36:11 <Ampera> I have it plugged in because why not
08:36:34 <MrMobodies> human like parrot
08:36:53 <steve30> hi Halcyon
08:37:04 <Halcyon> Hey Steve
08:37:23 <MrMobodies> that's good a hba/jbod mode
08:37:40 <Ampera> I bought it to be an HBA
08:37:41 <MrMobodies> for single drives
08:37:51 <Ampera> ebay didn't have HBA only cards for 60 bucks with 16 SAS lanes
08:38:20 <DHess_US> I've seen them sometimes
08:38:35 <DHess_US> At least the ones I link, but I've only bought the SATA ones.
08:38:45 <Ampera> I'm sure some exist, but that one was there, and at a price I was willing to pay
08:38:51 <MrMobodies> 16 sas lines
08:38:56 <DHess_US> The biggest card I have has 12 SATA
08:38:59 <Ampera> I would prefer it have SFF 8087 connectors instead of the mini SAS ones, but whatever
08:39:06 <DHess_US> Yea
08:39:43 <MrMobodies> I do have something that can handle 64 drives but it ain't sas
08:39:45 <MrMobodies> it's scsi
08:39:47 <Ampera> that case I bought has five 4 port SAS backplanes in it that run off SFF 8087
08:39:56 <Ampera> so I have to use special cables to hook them up that are mildly expensive
08:40:18 <Ampera> well if I had expanders, this controller could handle probably hundreds of SAS drives
08:40:49 <Ampera> the plan is to run four of the backplanes off SAS and one of them off the onboard SATA if I ever get to filling up that many bays
08:42:36 <Halcyon> I feel like comfort food today
08:42:38 <MrMobodies> hundreds of drives
08:42:39 <Halcyon> I'm all sooky
08:42:51 <MrMobodies> and i see a cooling requirement on it (maybe it heats up under load)
08:42:53 <Ampera> Halcyon, oh god I bought pizza last night when I really shouldn't have
08:43:09 <Ampera> Yeah that server case should be fine, it has pretty chonky fans
08:43:19 <Halcyon> Pizza's alright
08:43:32 <Halcyon> I might make T3sl4's mac and cheese later
08:43:44 <Ampera> yeah but I've actually been picking up weight recently, and I need to stop eating so much
08:44:02 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/eUQm6wg.jpg
08:44:12 <Ampera> aye, I saw that, MrMobodies
08:44:23 <Halcyon> Interesting
08:44:25 <Ampera> it has decent airflow
08:45:21 <MrMobodies> quite impressive one controller so tiny can do so many drives
08:45:26 <MrMobodies> in the hundreds
08:45:29 <MrMobodies> compared to this thing
08:45:39 <MrMobodies> https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/0526uoabBwuRxCVUAHNi9eADo6uHzCmMut81XxGhjvtqy7A2oUClNRORKVCjvJfyKlhrDHfwgUa8r389wMnWy4QK6rsR9KSedw
08:45:55 <MrMobodies> that can only do the max for 60 drives or so 15 per channel
08:46:13 <MrMobodies> I have a couple of those, I had to disconnect the battery
08:46:24 <MrMobodies> I found out they were causing havoc
08:46:28 <MrMobodies> due to the low voltage
08:46:31 <Halcyon> I have to sit at home all day today, getting my electricity meter replaced
08:46:40 <MrMobodies> it has a battery on the center and one under the sdram memory
08:46:41 <Halcyon> They said anytime between 0800-1700 which is helpful
08:47:21 <rust_collector> so 18
08:47:36 <Halcyon> Oh they would have finished for the day by then
08:47:49 <MrMobodies> Ampera, so you case can do 20 drives?
08:48:20 <Ampera> yep
08:48:57 <MrMobodies> what I call plenty of freedom to plugin whatever drive you want
08:49:21 <MrMobodies> and they'd still be plenty of breathing space
08:50:08 <MrMobodies> do they come with caddies or drives screw in?
08:50:20 <Ampera> hot swap caddies
08:51:34 * T3sl4 hot swaps Ampera some cuddles
08:51:37 <MrMobodies> aaah
08:51:39 <MrMobodies> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/575356058818838539/846146834426363984/20210523_180139.jpg
08:51:46 * Ampera pulls in and out of T3sl4
08:51:47 <MrMobodies> that's that one at the bottom of the picture
08:51:51 <T3sl4> oh my
08:52:02 <MrMobodies> second one up I mean
08:52:21 <MrMobodies> how much that cost?
08:52:48 <MrMobodies> usb ports on it too
08:52:50 <Ampera> 250USD
08:52:53 <Ampera> shipped
08:53:01 <MrMobodies> not bad with all the caddies included
08:53:02 <Ampera> though my dad then found it on another site for 200 bucks and bought one :/
08:54:05 <MrMobodies> it's good your family are into that stuff
08:54:27 <MrMobodies> it is rare for people around me to be interested
08:54:42 <MrMobodies> I have to argue to get things
08:54:47 <MrMobodies> because they don't understand
08:55:05 <MrMobodies> I get moaned at when things turn up
08:55:19 <Halcyon> YAY the electrician is here. That means I don't have to sit around all day! Weeee
08:55:28 <MrMobodies> electrician?
08:55:58 <MrMobodies> something wrong with your cables/appliance?
08:56:03 <Halcyon> Yeh I am getting a smart meter installed in the meter box
08:56:06 <rust_collector> elekchicken if you like
08:56:16 <Halcyon> So the government can spy on me and give me the 5G radiations
08:56:53 <MrMobodies> Ampera? is that a basement?
08:56:59 <Ampera> Yes.
08:57:07 <Halcyon> It's his bedroom
08:57:09 <MrMobodies> Lucky, contain all the noise
08:57:11 <Halcyon> He is only allowed out at night
08:57:26 <Ampera> The town curfew is because of me.
08:57:26 <MrMobodies> I have live with noise it in my workshop
08:57:34 <Ampera> Not to prevent me from going out, to prevent others from running into me
08:57:44 <Halcyon> Heheh
08:58:14 <MrMobodies> that's not your toy tractor is it?
08:58:20 <MrMobodies> near the monitor
08:58:42 <Ampera> No I'm just holding it for a friend.
08:58:49 <MrMobodies> oh
08:58:51 <Ampera> yes it's minew
08:59:02 <MrMobodies> remote control
08:59:09 <Ampera> this is the shelf where all the outdoor toys we had as kids were left to die
08:59:21 <Ampera> no it's just a plastic tractor
08:59:39 <Halcyon> It's like Pripyat down there
08:59:47 <Ampera> It helps reminds me of where I've been and how little I've advanced
08:59:54 <Ampera> Halcyon, you're just bitter because you don't have a cellar
09:00:01 <Halcyon> A little
09:00:23 <Halcyon> I actually thought about building one when I built the house, but to dig out solid sandstone would have cost a lot.
09:00:25 <MrMobodies> celler turning into a datacenter
09:00:27 <Ampera> All of this gear is on 240V, via outlets I wired up myself specifically for this
09:00:48 <Ampera> build myself an entire subpanel that plugs into a 240V 50A outlet
09:00:51 <MrMobodies> wonderful wiring it up yourself
09:00:55 <Ampera> then feeds two 240V 15A circuits
09:01:24 <Ampera> should be able to pull 6000W no problem between the two circuits
09:01:28 <MrMobodies> 30a power thats plenty
09:02:06 <Ampera> our 240V outlets are really cool too, because they don't have neutral pins (well some do, the ones the servers are plugged into don't)

09:02:52 <Ampera> outlets before I wired them up
09:02:53 <MrMobodies> any air conditioning down there?
09:02:56 <Ampera> nope
09:03:02 <Halcyon> 30 amps is plenty. My main socket in my server room is only 20 amps or something like that
09:03:27 <Halcyon> The only reason I got it was because my UPS uses the bigger IEC plug with the larger ground pin
09:03:27 <Ampera> I was originally gonna do 45A because why not, I had a 50A circuit, but I ended up using that breaker slot for a surge breaker
09:03:34 <MrMobodies> in this village I only got 60a compared to 100a from my old house
09:03:56 <Ampera> Our house has 200A service, though I have no clue if that's measured @ 240V or @ 120V
09:04:00 <Ampera> I think it's @ 240V
09:04:27 <MrMobodies> no dimming or brownouts at 200a cabling
09:04:33 <MrMobodies> when something comes on
09:04:40 <Ampera> haha
09:04:45 <MrMobodies> I am in the countryside one of the downsides
09:04:51 <Ampera> the servers will actually dim the basement lights when they turn on or jump to high load
09:04:59 Quit: Reg7805 ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
09:05:05 Nick: reg7805_ is now known as Reg7805
09:06:30 <DHess_US> Ampera, I take surface mount duplex boxes like that, connect two or three together, and then add a cord to make an heavy outlet strip.
09:06:59 <DHess_US> It is measured at 240 VAC
09:07:13 <MrMobodies> the more equipment and switches the more nicer that basement is going to look
09:07:20 Quit: coppice ([email protected]) Quit: Konversation terminated!
09:07:21 <DHess_US> 200 amp 240 volt service has been the most common in the US for decades now.
09:07:29 <Ampera> makes sense
09:07:39 <Ampera> since there's two 100A dual pole breakers down there
09:07:44 <DHess_US> It is only recently that newer houses have 400 amp service or something because of electric vehicle charging.
09:08:07 <Ampera> Actually this 50A circuit I'm using right now would be great for EV charging if it's ever desired
09:08:29 <Ampera> only problem is we don't have a garage, only a carport, so it'd have to be a waterproof installation
09:08:40 <DHess_US> 200 amp service is a little light to run an electric stove, oven, AC, dryer, and electric vehicle charging at the same time.
09:08:47 <MrMobodies> is that basement waterproof from flooding?
09:08:49 <Ampera> we don't have an electric stove
09:09:07 <Ampera> MrMobodies, yes by merit of a sump and the fact that we live on a hill
09:09:27 <Ampera> if the flood gets high enough to reach the servers, we have much more to worry about than the servers
09:09:28 <MrMobodies> nothing better than being up a hill
09:09:50 <Ampera> it'd mean probably much of the NY capitol region is underwater
09:10:12 <DHess_US> I had my server in the basement under the stairs, and the stairs collapsed on it last year.
09:10:25 <DHess_US> The stairs collapsed while I was on them. :(
09:10:26 <Ampera> these are actually under the stairs, and I was actually thinking about you
09:10:42 <Ampera> these are out of the path of the stairs, so if the stairs did collapse, then it wouldn't hit the servers
09:10:46 <DHess_US> Server stayed up.
09:10:51 <Ampera> nice
09:10:57 <DHess_US> Stairs fell on the server and the server held them up.
09:11:10 <Ampera> hahaha
09:11:38 <DHess_US> Luckily I had a ladder in the basement so I was able to get out.
09:11:59 <Ampera> would be nice to have a basement with two exists, my great grandmother's house was like that
09:12:04 <Ampera> had stairs from the inside and to the outside
09:12:10 <Ampera> *exits
09:12:25 <DHess_US> Some places around here (St. Louis) have basements with two access points like you describe.
09:12:41 <DHess_US> Tornado country here.
09:13:19 <MrMobodies> do you have wiring access/trays in the walls so you can easily run cables?
09:13:29 <Ampera> hahahahahaha
09:13:35 <DHess_US> Oddly enough ...
09:13:57 <Ampera> A. what walls B. this house has all of its wiring nailed to the beams in the basement
09:13:59 <DHess_US> I have hooks in the joists along the walls of the basement to hold ethernet cable.
09:14:08 <MrMobodies> in England, customers do the decorations when they move in, when they have problem they call me around when it is too late
09:14:21 <Ampera> when I installed all of this, I just ziptied the cables (power and data) to the existing wiring
09:14:43 <MrMobodies> so you pulled it back forward to get the rest through
09:15:04 <Ampera> no I just ran it with the amount of slack in the right places I wanted, and just zip tied it tightly
09:15:21 <Ampera> cable management was not planned nor thought too hard about
09:15:34 <MrMobodies> I was a little lucky when I moved in this house
09:15:44 <MrMobodies> there was plenty of space between the gripper rods
09:15:57 <Ampera> If I ever were to rewire up an entire house, I'd love to install empty conduit in all the walls that would allow me to run cabling into each room
09:15:58 <MrMobodies> to run 3 cables per side to reach the lounge
09:16:28 <Ampera> because it'd be one thing if I install CAT6 or OM3, but there may come a day when, just like telephone and coax, those aren't useful anymore
09:16:39 <Ampera> so if I could pull it all out, and push whatever I want back through, that'd be great
09:17:06 <steve30> Halcyon, is the electrician cute?
09:17:12 <MrMobodies> My sister is moving into a house soon, a small house
09:17:17 <Ampera> knowing Halcyon's luck, it's a she
09:17:22 <steve30> lol
09:17:23 <MrMobodies> I told her 3 cables upstairs for her working remotely
09:17:29 <MrMobodies> the buiding told her a lot of bullshit
09:17:47 <MrMobodies> the wifi will be so powerful it'd be better than th ecables themselves
09:18:07 <MrMobodies> couldn't believe what she was told
09:18:14 <steve30> lol
09:18:37 <MrMobodies> I said to her, whhen they are problems the next point of call is the builder who made that wild claim
09:18:46 <Halcyon> steve30, no, he is not attractive at all
09:18:49 <MrMobodies> get someone out to wire out from the outside and then we talk
09:19:01 <Halcyon> Ampera: Who are you kidding? Women can't be electricians :P
09:19:13 <MrMobodies> I know of a women electrician
09:19:17 <MrMobodies> but she had bipolar
09:19:20 <MrMobodies> and did a lot of wiered things
09:19:22 <Halcyon> I was kidding MrMobodies :P
09:19:25 <MrMobodies> and she wanted to be a man
09:19:38 <Ampera> MrMobodies, that couldn't have been funnier if it was a joke
09:19:39 <MrMobodies> she smoked and was rough
09:19:56 <MrMobodies> well she brought in this lighter one day and it had those leds in it
09:20:03 <MrMobodies> it had this moving image of somethings bum
09:20:14 <MrMobodies> where it shines this red laser on the wall
09:20:19 <MrMobodies> and had a right go at me
09:20:33 <MrMobodies> she wanted to get rid of me but th emanager told her that's not an option
09:20:41 <Ampera> them bipolar dykes, eh?
09:20:42 <MrMobodies> she walked out for 6 weeks and put it down to her bipolar
09:20:50 <MrMobodies> but she was nice in the end
09:21:02 <MrMobodies> but a little dodgy attimes
09:21:30 <MrMobodies> her mum dies but I didn't know at the time
09:21:48 <MrMobodies> so maybe that triggered it
09:22:14 <MrMobodies> it was a contruction business and she was doing the tests
09:22:35 <MrMobodies> they used Pearson Vue for their testing facilities
09:22:58 <MrMobodies> but that was back 10 years ago
09:23:20 <MrMobodies> they wouldn't let me get up a ladder to run cables in the warehouse
09:23:35 <MrMobodies> health and safety so some plumber who worked there offered to do it
09:23:45 <MrMobodies> if I brough him stuff at the local pub
09:23:55 <MrMobodies> the ladder collapse and they had to hold it up
09:24:08 <MrMobodies> it was the warehouse doors
09:24:15 <MrMobodies> after that he didn't want the beer
09:24:30 <MrMobodies> the building was falling apart
09:26:47 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/ISBwuou.jpg
09:27:11 <MrMobodies> if that was me on a ladder and nobody was around I could have been dead
09:27:30 <steve30> maybe i should try and go to tesco today, since i didn't go yesterday
09:27:52 <MrMobodies> the bricks fell out, the ladder was missing feet cover and it cause the ladder to collapse
09:28:07 <MrMobodies> tescos?
09:28:32 <MrMobodies> what other supermarkets are around your place?
09:29:15 <steve30> tesco is in the town centre. We do have a morrisons not too far away but tesco is more convenient
09:30:25 <MrMobodies> oh
09:30:34 <MrMobodies> that place I wired up
09:30:36 <MrMobodies> https://imgur.com/a/xjcsTnH
09:30:43 <MrMobodies> I had build a cupboard
09:30:46 <MrMobodies> there was nothing in there
09:30:53 <MrMobodies> and they were very stingy with wood
09:31:13 <MrMobodies> I wanted pine but they insisted the chipboard stuff
09:31:37 <MrMobodies> and it took them 2 months to approve a box of cat5e cable
09:32:10 <MrMobodies> wasn't ideal though it got hot
09:32:34 <MrMobodies> Steve30 how far is a Waitrose from you?
09:32:35 <Halcyon> YAY my meter it all done. I have all the government spy radiation now
09:32:41 <Halcyon> *is
09:33:09 <steve30> waitrose is 11 miles away in Sheffield. I often go to sheffield for M&S, but everything i typically get at waitrose i can get locally at tesco.
09:33:15 <MrMobodies> I believe my connection (outgoing) is being monitored bu the GHCQ for terrorism
09:33:19 <Halcyon> M&S is fancy isn't it?
09:33:30 <MrMobodies> my waitrose delivery charge is £40
09:33:39 <MrMobodies> ooh M&s food hall
09:34:10 <steve30> I tend to consider M&S stuff relatively normal, although some people see it as fancy
09:34:36 <Halcyon> Maybe you're just fancy yourself Steve
09:34:43 <MrMobodies> last time i had a sandwich, it was prawn in brown bred
09:34:49 <MrMobodies> and not many chemicals
09:34:58 <MrMobodies> I don't know about now though
09:34:58 <Halcyon> Food shouldn't have chemicals
09:35:18 <MrMobodies> I should take my phone in the local shop and show you
09:35:28 <MrMobodies> take pictures and see how they put them in with pride
09:35:46 <steve30> I don't buy sandwiches
09:35:47 <MrMobodies> I don't cakes because of that
09:36:09 <MrMobodies> I remembered in February went in Sainsbury's i think
09:36:28 <MrMobodies> one chocolate cake, underneath of the box filled with so many ingredients
09:36:30 <MrMobodies> e numbers
09:36:38 <MrMobodies> reconsituted stuff
09:36:38 <steve30> I haven't been to Tesco since january
09:36:46 <MrMobodies> legal document it was like trying to make sense
09:37:03 <MrMobodies> my favourite thing before tea
09:37:10 <MrMobodies> is pickled onions from waitrose
09:37:21 <MrMobodies> it seems to make the tea taste light to me
09:37:28 <Ampera> food is 100% chemicals
09:37:31 <Ampera> by definition
09:37:37 <MrMobodies> aaah
09:38:11 <MrMobodies> e numbers and reconstituted stuff, processed food is the word.
09:38:32 <Halcyon> Not all E and C numbers are chemicals though
09:38:39 <Halcyon> A lot of it is natural stuffs

09:39:16 <Ampera> what
09:39:28 <Ampera> all natural things are chemicals
09:39:39 <Halcyon> Yes if you want to look at it at a basic level sure
09:39:49 <Halcyon> We're talking about actual sythentic stuff made by humans
09:39:50 Join: EEVBot ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
09:39:55 <Ampera> often the same chemicals considered artificial in a different context
09:39:56 <Halcyon> Those "chemicals"
09:40:00 Mode: (by ChanOP) +v EEVBot
09:40:06 <Ampera> I mean almost all cultivated plants are synthetic too
09:40:22 <Halcyon> Organic and synthetic are two different things
09:40:39 <Ampera> and?
09:40:48 <Ampera> organic foods are usually genetically modified
09:41:07 <Ampera> and, at least here, can still have been grown with pesticides
09:41:13 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - 60 Minutes, Navy pilots describe encounters with UFOs: BUSTED! https://t.co/IgJsQFJvos
09:41:16 <Halcyon> GM is another category again
09:41:30 <Halcyon> Organic and genetically modified are mutually exclusive
09:41:38 <Ampera> no
09:41:42 <Halcyon> We're talking about "shit in food" that doesn't belong in food
09:41:56 <Ampera> almost all cultivated plants have been genetically modified by humans
09:42:06 <Halcyon> I'm not saying they haven't
09:42:13 <Halcyon> But they are two different things
09:43:13 <Ampera> they are, but are not mutually exclusive
09:43:14 <T3sl4> stychnine doesn't belong in food
09:43:21 <T3sl4> but it's 100% natural and non GMO
09:43:27 <Ampera> ^
09:43:33 <Halcyon> e.g.: Something like Tartrazine which isn't naturally occuring, compared to a dye like riboflavin
09:43:45 <Ampera> what's wrong with it
09:44:07 <Halcyon> Well some people are sensitive to it
09:44:24 <Halcyon> To me azo dyes belong in CD-Rs, not my food
09:44:46 <Ampera> A lot of people claim sensitivity to a lot of things
09:44:53 * steve30 offers the channel some dihydrogen monoxide
09:45:00 <Ampera> however, even if there is a natural allergy to a substance, that can simply be fixed by avoiding that substance
09:45:06 <Ampera> that doesn't mean, by definition, it is unhealthy
09:45:16 <Halcyon> I am pretty relaxed with what I eat, but I always choose a more natural option as opposed to foods filled with crap
09:45:17 <T3sl4> Ampera: hard to avoid if literally everyone uses it
09:46:02 <Ampera> T3sl4, if everyone uses it, it sounds like most people probably aren't allergic to it, but yes, allergies suck for those who have them
09:46:09 <Ampera> dairy is in almost everything
09:46:11 <Halcyon> Well there are also links between synthetic food additives and some types of cancers
09:46:13 <Ampera> nuts are in a lot of things
09:46:17 <T3sl4> peanuts, wheat
09:46:27 <Ampera> Halcyon, known to the state of california to cause cancer?
09:46:35 <T3sl4> Halcyon: most of the synthetic things we use, either pass harmlessly like anything else indigestible, or are absorbed and metabolized into something similarly harmless
09:46:37 <Halcyon> I don't care about California
09:46:51 <Ampera> Synthetic is also a very mushy term
09:46:51 <Halcyon> Maybe so
09:47:03 * T3sl4 synthesizes Ampera
09:47:03 <Halcyon> But I personally avoid them whenever I can, which isn't hard to do
09:47:05 <Ampera> Table salt is technically synthetic, as it's industrially processed from a different form
09:47:08 <Halcyon> You just have to read packaging
09:47:19 <Halcyon> I don't use table salt
09:47:23 <Halcyon> I use salt salt
09:48:02 <Halcyon> I don't want my salt to contain anything other than NaCl
09:48:26 <Ampera> that's what table salt is, Halcyon
09:48:34 <T3sl4> how would you know? it's a mixture of inorganic chemicals
09:48:43 <Halcyon> They usually mix it with other stuff, sometimes iodine
09:48:47 <T3sl4> if there's fish shit in it, you ought to be more concerned than relieved
09:48:52 <Halcyon> Other times, agents so it doesn't clump
09:49:06 <Ampera> Iodine is an essential nutrient
09:49:09 <Ampera> (iirc)
09:49:28 <Halcyon> I not iodine deficient, we get enough in our diet through food.
09:49:32 <Ampera> if you use kosher salt, afaik, it is pure NaCl, but is still synthetically produced
09:49:35 <Halcyon> Same as salt, I rarely add extra
09:49:39 <T3sl4> well yeah, that's because iodized salt is standard :P
09:49:48 <T3sl4> fluoridated things too, for teeth health
09:50:09 * Halcyon has a nibble at T3sl4
09:50:25 <MrMobodies> I only like salt with my chips
09:50:42 * T3sl4 fluoro-communizes Halcyon
09:50:44 <MrMobodies> when it is added with scrambled eggs or fish pie it seems to ruin the taste for ne
09:51:03 <Halcyon> I prefer actual flavour to just salty things
09:51:15 <Halcyon> I use chilli as a replacement to salt in most things
09:51:17 <MrMobodies> my mum insist it enhances the flavour but I find it does the opposite
09:51:26 <MrMobodies> chilli in tuna
09:51:34 <Halcyon> Mmmmm
09:51:35 <MrMobodies> is something I like and sweetcorn too
09:51:50 <T3sl4> everyone has their own salt preference, safer to undersalt a dish and allow the diner to adjust upward
09:51:52 <MrMobodies> with a few wet onions in the bread with the tuna cold
09:51:59 <Halcyon> Exactly T3sl4
09:52:22 <Halcyon> I mostly only use salt for boiling pasta or potatos, I want some of that salt to get into the food
09:52:31 <MrMobodies> joke: some people have their salt(y) preferences with Louise Rossman.
09:52:42 <MrMobodies> on their botched repairs they send him
09:53:12 <Ampera> This is besides the point though. The point is that "artificial" does not mean unhealthy
09:53:20 <MrMobodies> a video he did on people sending him macbooks they tried to repair and they were nice to him
09:53:21 <Ampera> and fear of "chemicals" is akin to fear of 5G
09:53:26 <T3sl4> MrMobodies: i've been watching people play FTL (game), it's full of punishing randomness, a fine salt mine
09:54:04 <Ampera> it amazes me people still play FTL
09:54:24 <MrMobodies> https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/212680/ss_708e385bd461625790763fb8ddad537d278ad15c.1920x1080.jpg
09:54:26 <MrMobodies> interesting
09:54:40 <MrMobodies> I like the colour combinations
09:54:47 <Halcyon> That's a really generic statement
09:55:03 <Ampera> that's sort of my point
09:55:05 <Halcyon> There are a number of food additives that should be avoided or consumed with caution
09:55:11 <Halcyon> No amount of 5G will cause harm
09:55:29 <Ampera> apparently iodine is one of those?
09:55:39 <Halcyon> I never said that
09:55:56 <Halcyon> I said that I don't consume added iodine because I don't need it
09:55:57 <MrMobodies> silly question: could it cause harm on an industrial unit if someone power levels turned right up and they were near to it for long periods of time?
09:56:15 <Ampera> MrMobodies, depending on the power output
09:56:27 <MrMobodies> okay
09:56:56 <T3sl4> what kind of industrial unit, power of what kind?
09:57:03 <MrMobodies> if they are going on street lamps nothing really to worry about I suppose
09:57:05 <T3sl4> an industrial xray unit, can't say i'd recommend it :P
09:57:14 <MrMobodies> one that transmits long distance
09:57:19 <T3sl4> a... power supply or something, don't care
09:57:22 <Ampera> even high power non ionizing EM can cause injury
09:57:28 <MrMobodies> I am not sure myself on the permissable power levels of 5g though
09:57:33 <Ampera> but it's a matter of energy
09:57:57 <T3sl4> basically any radiation below visible light in energy, has only thermal effects on the body
09:58:30 <T3sl4> the intensities required to cause physiological harm are difficult to produce inside machines, let alone outside them, or in a room
09:58:31 <Ampera> T3sl4, did you see the Tom Scott video about how one of the first uses for the microwave oven was to humanely heat hamsters?
09:58:37 <T3sl4> yes
09:58:46 <Ampera> that was quite neat
09:59:16 <T3sl4> e.g. fields >1T inside transformers, in larger spaces you need superconducting magnets, and even then MRIs are just fine to be in, not that i'd recommend it for extended periods just because that'd be weird
09:59:47 <Ampera> well that's magnetism, not electromagnetism, right?
10:00:07 <T3sl4> it's electromagnetism if you move. ever tried taking an aluminum block into one?
10:00:25 <Ampera> I've never been inside an MRI

10:13:48 <MrMobodies> An agent in there treated it to all sort of things including presveratives and e numbers.
10:13:56 <T3sl4> it has lecithin oh no Halcyon's gonna go blind reading all that!
10:14:40 <Ampera> He's already blind. I know, he's seen pictures of me and not gone running
10:15:00 <T3sl4> true. he easily masturbates enough too
10:15:46 <MrMobodies> Dhess_US why have you gone blind?
10:15:52 <MrMobodies> temporary blindness?
10:16:00 <DHess_US> <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/WQlHYCJ.jpg
10:16:07 <MrMobodies> oh that
10:16:27 <Halcyon> :p
10:16:27 <MrMobodies> I suppose with enough those it could make someone go blind.
10:16:54 <MrMobodies> as I said it sometimes reminds me of reading a legal document when that is four times larger ont he cakes

10:21:16 <MrMobodies> battling with the newspapers
10:21:37 <MrMobodies> think my chicken has finished cooking
10:22:01 * Halcyon nibbles on MrMobodies's leg
10:23:00 <Jens> Re: How It's Actually Made --> For a moment there I wasn't sure if it was serious or not.
10:23:06 * Ampera suckles on Halcyon's peg
10:23:14 <Ampera> hrm, tastes like ginger beer
10:23:16 <Halcyon> It took me a few minutes to realise it was dubbed
10:26:37 <Jens> I've had some shit jobs, but sandwich packer at a conveyor line looks worse than any of them.
10:27:16 <Ampera> sometimes I think working in human waste might be a fun occupation
10:27:37 <Jens> I heard those dudes make bank.
10:27:48 <Ampera> no surprise there
10:28:09 <Ampera> it'd also be cool to be one of the guys who comes by with the scraper and peels people's guts up off the freeway when they crash
10:28:56 <Jens> Yes, I've seen those incidents on 4chan. I'm sure it's not traumatising at all.
10:30:20 <T3sl4> working in Ampera doesn't sound like a lot of fun
10:30:36 <Ampera> I've never really been on 4chan
10:30:49 <Ampera> I can only handle so much blunt force stupidity in a single day, and this channel takes up most of it
10:32:22 <T3sl4> it's like being surrounded by Amperas, but most of them don't even know computer stuff or anything else technical
10:32:42 <Halcyon> I'm going to have a shower
10:32:53 <steve30> I went on one of our new tram routes a couple of years ago. The announcements on there sounded like they were done by the same person who narates the english version of How Its Made.
10:33:05 <Ampera> maybe it was
10:33:23 <T3sl4> How Its Made
10:33:25 <T3sl4> Maybe It Was
10:34:24 <steve30> I wouldn't be surprised. I also went on another route and the voice on that was clearly the same person who does the jobcentre's telephones.
10:39:03 <steve30> As for how its made though, I prefer the hot canadian swimmer guy :p
10:42:24 <MrMobodies> I remember 4chan
10:42:26 <MrMobodies> 2005
10:42:49 <MrMobodies> the owner was asking for donations to buy these Dell servers to run in house, I think
10:42:55 <MrMobodies> and there was criticism over it
10:43:02 <MrMobodies> and they did this cartoon
10:43:24 <MrMobodies> only visited a couple of times and forgfot about it
10:43:44 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/fWVwZ5W.jpg
10:43:53 <MrMobodies> I enjoyed it but forgot to read the package

10:50:25 <MrMobodies> criticising the website and why should moot be donated $2000 to buy some servers

12:12:31 <MrMobodies> and the Nokia model ta1100 isn't eveb listeds
12:12:31 <Halcyon> It's running Android 4 which basically doesn't work with much anymore
12:12:52 <MrMobodies> I have that marshallow one on my J5
12:13:01 <MrMobodies> able to stop the animations
12:13:14 <MrMobodies> that's the reason I want to do it
12:13:38 <MrMobodies> use the tweaking to put a stop to that UI nonsense
12:13:49 <MrMobodies> when I tap I don't want a shadow to appear
12:14:14 <MrMobodies> when I open a menu or diaogue I don't want the rest of the screen to dim darkly
12:14:42 <MrMobodies> it hurts my eyes, cuts me off the content (I might be looking stuff or notes in the background) and irritates me
12:14:58 <MrMobodies> yesterday I using the pub wifi, it was in the way so I moved the notes around a bit
12:15:20 <MrMobodies> I took the key down on the phone notes
12:15:37 <MrMobodies> if the background was dimmed so like the sony I wouldn't be able to read it

14:42:30 * alfbaz hugs Halcyon
14:43:04 <alfbaz> this night shift shit is killing me
14:45:26 <Halcyon> Yeh it's horrible
14:45:30 <Halcyon> What do you do again?
14:45:42 <alfbaz> ...and like an idiot I said yes to an overtime shift so have to go again tonight
14:45:48 <Halcyon> Gross
14:45:52 <alfbaz> leco in the mines
14:45:57 <Halcyon> Ahhh
14:46:02 <Halcyon> At least the pay would be good
14:46:10 <steve30> Right, I should pop out to Tesco. Then I'm going to have food when I get back. I might even open a beer :)
14:46:24 <alfbaz> mmmm beer
14:46:53 <alfbaz> Halcyon I do weekend nightshift so yeah good coin
14:47:19 <Halcyon> I'm having a wine Steve
14:47:23 <Halcyon> Helps my throat
14:49:53 <alfbaz> if it wasn't for the moola i'd be oughta there in a heartbeat, it's such a brain dead job filled with brain dead ppl

14:54:31 <Halcyon> Sounds like me alfbaz
14:54:48 <Halcyon> Sports is one of those things that could drop off the face of the earth tomorrow and I wouldn't bat an eyelid
14:55:01 <alfbaz> likewise
14:56:14 <alfbaz> nothing annoys me more than sitting to watch an hour long news boradcast with 5mins of news and 55mins of sports
14:56:39 <Halcyon> I have to turn off the radio if sports comes on. I can't stand it
14:57:23 <Halcyon> But yeh the night shifts are a killer. I couldn't do them anymore.
14:57:27 <Halcyon> 4 years of that was enough for me
14:57:46 <alfbaz> what doing?
14:57:59 <Halcyon> When I worked in general duties policing
14:58:05 <Halcyon> That was about 10 years ago now
14:58:42 <alfbaz> would of been interesting at times I imagine, if not terrifying
14:59:07 <Halcyon> I had fun. I can't say there was ever a time I was afraid.
14:59:22 <Halcyon> But yeh the shifts sucked. I felt like a zombie for 2-3 days afterwards
14:59:45 <Halcyon> Granted you got 4-6 days off to recover, but half of that was trying to adjust sleeping patterns.
15:00:18 <alfbaz> yeah that sleep deficate thing is certainly real. Until you pay it bacj you are stuffed
15:00:41 <Halcyon> Well they say you never pay it back. You can't "catch up" as such
15:00:55 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
15:01:37 <alfbaz> I read up on it heaps when I fist did it, it has some real and tangible health issues
15:01:55 <Halcyon> Oh yeh, long term night shifts can take years off your life
15:02:11 <Halcyon> It's much worse if you constantly swap between days and nights
15:04:03 <alfbaz> ooh ahh, up until recently I was doin W/E N/S and comming in for an OT shift on tuesday D/S, so i'd finish monday morning and have to get up at 4am tuesday morning. That was the whole week fucked
15:04:15 <Halcyon> Yuck
15:04:32 <Halcyon> Do you fly in/out from home or are you local to work?
15:05:52 <alfbaz> nearly all the guys at work have done that shit at some time or another, fortunately there are plenty of mines in the illawarra. at the moment it's a half hour drive each way
15:06:07 <Halcyon> Can't ask for better than that
15:06:19 <Halcyon> Takes me typically 1 hr 15 mins to get to work (each way)
15:07:12 <alfbaz> Is that a cruising 1.5hr along a freeway or traffic galore?
15:07:28 <Halcyon> The first half is freeway, then it's usually traffic
15:07:40 <Halcyon> Sometimes it flows, other times it doesn't.
15:08:20 <alfbaz> that'd suck. my commute is all freeway, not one single trafic light, there or back :P
15:10:59 <Halcyon> Yeh, at least I love well away from the city. It makes it worth while
15:12:46 <alfbaz> The missus would kill me if I love'd away from home :P
15:13:01 <Halcyon> *live
15:13:12 <Halcyon> Forgive me, I have a cold and my brain is broke
15:13:21 <alfbaz> lol
15:13:22 <Halcyon> Haven't slept well the last few nights
15:14:09 <Halcyon> Meanwhile I'm on-hold to Energy Australia... just got my smart meter installed today so going to switch over to a time-of-use tariff
15:15:47 <alfbaz> I was dead againts smart meters but given what you've said regarding selg pwr generation you'd almost have to be nut not to go time-of-use
15:15:56 <Halcyon> It makes sense (for me)
15:16:42 <Halcyon> I can do a full battery charge overnight at 14.64c/kWh
15:17:13 <Halcyon> I'm finding especially at this time of year with cloud/rain and short days, I don't get a full charge off solar
15:17:30 <alfbaz> I wonder, could it be charged off of the off-peak meter?
15:17:41 <Halcyon> You can charge it off anything
15:18:32 <Halcyon> It's a feature of the battery, it's off by default but you can specify what time(s) it is allowed to charge off the grid and to what percentage
15:20:30 <Halcyon> So because it's nice and cool in the middle of the night, I set it to charge between 0100-0500 to 100% then it doesn't start discharging again until 0700 (when the shoulder period kicks in)
15:25:11 <alfbaz> When I said off-peak I meant the second meter in your box. It traditionally powered the hot water heater at night and was turned on by the power company during the least demand
15:25:32 <Halcyon> Oh right, like a controlled load?
15:25:36 <Halcyon> I don't have that here
15:25:46 <alfbaz> they sent some sp[ecial ripple down the line to turn on the off peak meter
15:26:28 <alfbaz> I gues the time of use meter would be exactly the same anyway
15:26:34 <Halcyon> Yeh that's controlled load. I don't have that. My hot water is on-demand gas.
15:26:48 <Halcyon> I guess? I don't know what the prices are for CL
15:27:11 <Halcyon> Time of use just goes in blocks... so from the quote I got...
15:28:21 <Halcyon> Peak 1300 to 1959
15:28:21 <Halcyon> 39.69 cents/kWh
15:28:21 <Halcyon> Off-Peak 2200 to 0659
15:28:21 <Halcyon> 19.53 cents/kWh
15:28:21 <Halcyon> Shoulder 0700 to 1259
15:28:22 <Halcyon> 30.74 cents/kWh
15:28:24 <Halcyon> Shoulder 2000 to 2159
15:28:26 <Halcyon> 30.74 cents/kWh
15:28:30 <Halcyon> Then weekends is all off-peak
15:28:56 <Halcyon> But the meter itself gets time/date from the cellular network (or an NTP) as I can see the correct seconds ticking over on the meter itself
15:29:19 <Halcyon> (Those are without discount obviously)
15:30:26 <alfbaz> weekend all off-peak? That sounds strange
15:30:48 <Halcyon> That's what it says 24 hours on weekends is charged at off-peak rates
15:31:05 <alfbaz> how good is that!?!
15:31:12 <Halcyon> I guess because there is a more smooth demand curve? Not people getting home and pumping the aircon
15:31:38 Quit: MRiddickW ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
15:32:16 <alfbaz> I'm guessing you would be monitoring big loads in your house, how big a load is the aircon?
15:32:42 <Halcyon> My A/C is 3-phase so it pulls something like 6-7 kW heating
15:32:47 <Halcyon> Not sure about cooling
15:33:29 <alfbaz> 3 phase, I'm so jealous right now :P
15:33:50 <Halcyon> I didn't have a choice. A single phase system would have been way too small for the house
15:33:56 <Halcyon> (This is ducted btw)
15:34:33 <Halcyon> You'd have 3-phase in the street, it's just a matter of running it to your switchboard
15:34:44 <Halcyon> They did that by default for me as part of the build
15:34:44 <alfbaz> ducted, sweet! we were quoted north of 10G for ducted so cheaped it out
15:34:58 <Halcyon> Yeh sounds about right
15:37:02 <alfbaz> I can work around the lack of 3 phase mostly the problem I have is trying to test fault find 3 phase gear if I take on a job at home
15:37:55 <Halcyon> Surely an electician qualified to work on the distribution side of things can run 3 phases to your house?
15:38:50 <Halcyon> Especially if it's pole to house
15:38:55 <alfbaz> last I looked it was going to cost around 3 grand to get it connected, that was 10 years ago
15:39:08 <Halcyon> Seems a bit rich
15:39:30 <alfbaz> I'm sure who ever owns the poles would want their own people to connect it
15:40:10 <Kuschelpony> hmm, just throwing in an idea: a rotary phase converter that takes single phase and creates threephase
15:40:45 <Kuschelpony> in the most basic form its an old motor plus run capacitors, running idle and acting as a kind of phase-shifting autotransformer
15:40:54 <alfbaz> what like a single phase motor driving a 3 phase genny?
15:41:27 <alfbaz> I posted to quick
15:41:39 <alfbaz> is that a thing you can buy?
15:42:00 <Kuschelpony> either to buy or to DIY
15:42:06 <Halcyon> alfbaz, I don't know how it works but I know there are third party people who can do the work, they just have to have some other level of certification above a normal electrician.
15:42:16 <Kuschelpony> and not two seperated machines but just one single that does both tasks in one
15:42:34 * alfbaz starts googling
15:42:35 <Halcyon> For example, the guy who installed the meter today wasn't from Endeavour Energy, he was some other company
15:43:06 <Kuschelpony> its just a bit more complicated if you need wye connection rather than delta
15:43:52 <Halcyon> That's going beyond my level of understanding Kuschelpony
15:43:55 <Halcyon> *shrug*
15:44:03 <alfbaz> I wonder wye
15:44:09 <Kuschelpony> hmm, shoiuld i try to explain?
15:44:19 <Halcyon> Sure, I am always keen to learn
15:44:28 <alfbaz> I'd be up for it
15:44:39 <Halcyon> alfbaz, that sounds like a T3sl4 joke :P
15:44:53 <Kuschelpony> so basically think about you have a three phase motor and lets assume the coil voltages are equal to your mains voltage
15:45:18 <Kuschelpony> you connect the first motor coil directly to line and neutral of your mains
15:45:51 <Kuschelpony> you connect the next "earlier" motor coil through a run capacitor to the line
15:46:35 <Kuschelpony> if the capacitor is sized well (that depends on experimentation but for 230V a good rule of thumb is 70µF per kw) the phase shift gets somewhat close to -120°
15:47:07 <Kuschelpony> you connect the third coil through another capacitor to the second coil in the same way, so the phase shifts add up
15:47:43 <Kuschelpony> now this is somewhat far from a stable and balanced threephase wye, but it will certainly start and run the motor
15:48:57 <Kuschelpony> when the motor is up to speed its acting as a generator as well
15:49:03 <Halcyon> But in terms of residential power (like what I have)... the three phases are essentially completely independant circuits?
15:49:13 <Halcyon> So my A/C is the only thing that uses all three phases
15:49:23 <Halcyon> Everything else is split "evenly" across all three
15:49:24 <Kuschelpony> i answeert this nexct when i am finished with the converter
15:49:37 <Kuschelpony> when the motor is up to speed its acting as a generator as well
15:50:38 <Kuschelpony> so it takes the magnetization from the coil which has a higher voltage, rotates its phase with its mechanical rotation, and adds current to the other two phases to improve their derivation from the capacitors
15:51:20 <Kuschelpony> so in the end, if your motor is sized to something at least double of your load, it acts reasonably well as a source of threephase voltage
15:51:34 <Kuschelpony> in resident power:
15:52:08 <Kuschelpony> your supply in the streets is a 4-wire circuit, which means three independ phases (with 120° relative to ech) that are referenced to a common ground
15:52:23 <Kuschelpony> depending on your contract you either get only one phase or all three
15:52:39 <Kuschelpony> most loads use just one phase and are attempted to be evenly distributed
15:53:03 <Kuschelpony> bigger loads, or these which want a simple robust motor connect all three phases and use the rotating field made by them
15:53:05 <Kuschelpony> ok--
15:53:24 <Kuschelpony> i hope i did explain it halfway understandable, please ask where not
15:53:43 <Halcyon> So I understand the three phases in my street are more or less evenly distributed among the houses, but even at my meter box, the three phases are distributed among my various circuits.
15:54:12 <Halcyon> One day a possum crawled up and took out one of the three phases in the street. I still had lights and some power, but other circuit breakers were dead.
15:54:31 <Kuschelpony> yes all right so
15:55:55 <alfbaz> Thank you so much Kuschelpony with regard to the 3 phase motor driven by a combination of single phase and capacitors...
15:56:33 <Kuschelpony> i might make a schematic later, still in the breakfast phase here
15:56:36 <alfbaz> where would you take your output from, between the coils and the caps?
15:57:00 <Kuschelpony> in paralell to the three coils, with the neutral at the wye point where they join
15:57:29 <alfbaz> so the motor is to be wye connected?
15:58:28 <Halcyon> Recently I've been watching videos on syncroscopes, the old light bulb type. They are fascinating.
15:58:43 <Halcyon> Especially when they are bringing large loads (like a whole power plant) online
15:58:43 <Kuschelpony> yes
15:58:49 <Kuschelpony> and yes as well
15:59:28 <Kuschelpony> oh you should be really careful to watch the syncronousope, even if someone is skileld you might feel the building jump when switching in
15:59:55 <Halcyon> They say close the breaker somewhere around the 10-11 o'clock position?
15:59:55 <Kuschelpony> trying to remember the museum waterwheel power plant, somewhere in thuringa that i visited
16:00:40 <Kuschelpony> hmm, i would watch for "1 minute" before 12, but maybe their machines have specific timing considerations
16:00:57 <Halcyon> I'd imagine closing it at the wrong time leads to an almost short circuit and very loud/expensive things happen?
16:01:21 <Kuschelpony> shoertcircuit no, could be doubly as worse...
16:01:40 <Halcyon> So let's just say you closed a breaker at 6 o'clock
16:01:50 <Kuschelpony> when you connect in antiphase you get the double bang of just a short circuit as you have the double voltage
16:01:54 <Halcyon> The bigger load would eventually bring the smaller one into sync, but it wouldn't happen gracefully.
16:02:41 <Kuschelpony> lets say... there are enough photos on the web where the mechanical structure of the building has taken part of the synchronization process to rotate the phase
16:02:51 <Halcyon> Gees
16:02:51 <alfbaz> I use to do just that on the ships, bring a 2nd alternator on line, manually switch it in using the lights or the synchroscope needle then start shedding load from one to the other
16:04:00 <alfbaz> the alternators where rated around 1.2MW
16:04:43 <alfbaz> on the later ships you could do it in auto but where was the fun in that :P
16:04:49 <Kuschelpony> <insrt a rant of my drawing pens failing here>
16:05:23 * alfbaz hands Kuschelpony a pencil
16:05:41 <Halcyon> A mechnical pencil?
16:06:12 <alfbaz> ... and a sharpener :P
16:08:36 <Halcyon> Why do you need a sharpener with a mechanical pencil?
16:08:54 <alfbaz> I like doing things the hard way :P
16:09:07 <Halcyon> I'd love to see you sharper that lead

16:11:17 <alfbaz> Halcyon is making me hungry... again!
16:11:22 <Halcyon> Sorry
16:11:26 <Halcyon> I just love cooking
16:11:33 <Halcyon> It's relaxation for me
16:12:36 <alfbaz> lol, not much although the other day I made a mad dish inspired by one of your links... dagerous territory the missus said I shgould cook more
16:12:49 <Halcyon> Oh? What did you make?
16:13:22 <alfbaz> That roast chicken dish by the guy with the tats
16:13:37 <Halcyon> Oh Nat. He does really good simple videos
16:13:52 <alfbaz> very entertaining
16:13:54 <Halcyon> I'd love to meet him one day, he lives in Sydney somewhere

16:14:27 <alfbaz> There's something so familiar about him. I can't quite pin point it
16:14:31 <Kuschelpony> http://pics44.de/img/i/2/o/1kqglzzq.jpg
16:14:39 <Halcyon> How did the chicken turn out?
16:14:54 <Halcyon> Even on graph paper, how fancy :P
16:15:18 <Kuschelpony> well, lets say i do have blocks of paper all around my house and in my backpack, as "idea collectors"
16:15:26 <Kuschelpony> just the pen colelction should get more mainteance
16:15:28 <alfbaz> Kuschelpony, lol google fixed it for you
16:15:39 <Kuschelpony> hmm?
16:17:12 <alfbaz> never mind, my brain fart
16:17:58 <alfbaz> nice. I could get my hands on a 3 phase motor and some caps and do some experimenting
16:18:12 <Kuschelpony> anyway, thats a threephase wye connected Phasenspaltermaschine
16:18:26 <Kuschelpony> or as you call it in english rotary phase converter
16:19:16 <Kuschelpony> yes, just look that the motor is considerably oversized related to your load, as it will have to do a double duty i nthis circuit
16:19:32 <Kuschelpony> as in taking in one phase and outputting two others
16:20:15 <Kuschelpony> if your mains voltage is 230V try to get a motor with also 230V voil voltage (as has been previous already in wye connection)
16:21:36 <alfbaz> Thanks heaps Kuschelpny, certainly something I'll look into. Just one question looking at that schematic would the line volatge output be sqr root 3 * incoming mains voltage?
16:21:43 <Kuschelpony> oh and that crap piece of drawing is freeware, just use it where you want
16:21:51 <Kuschelpony> no
16:22:03 <alfbaz> Kuschelpony cad
16:22:13 <Kuschelpony> the line out voltage would be the same as the line in voltage so 230V in 3* 230V out
16:22:41 <Kuschelpony> but between phases you get 230V*sqrt(3)=400V also
16:22:56 <alfbaz> to be clear 230V in then between L1 and L2 230V also?
16:23:01 <Kuschelpony> no
16:23:11 <Kuschelpony> 230V between L and N at the input
16:23:21 <Halcyon> alfbaz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlOywSJnPOU
16:23:22 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: 바삭바삭 참치멜트 토스트 만들기 :: 핵꿀맛! 참치 샌드위치 :: 상상 그이상의 맛 :: Tuna Melt Sandwich :: Luch Box
16:23:23 <alfbaz> ahh ok that's what I thought
16:23:24 <Kuschelpony> 230V between L1 and N, L2 and N and L3 and N output
16:23:40 <Halcyon> I am very fond of toasted sammiches, I will definitely try this
16:23:44 <Kuschelpony> 400V between L1 and L2, L2 and L3, L3 and L1 output
16:24:03 <alfbaz> Well that's exactly what I want!
16:24:11 <Kuschelpony> thats why i explicitly refer to the wye circuit
16:24:33 <alfbaz> The problem with inverter is you get 3 phase but 230V between phases
16:24:36 <Kuschelpony> the delta seems to be more known but has no N at the output and requires to rewire machinery
16:24:54 <Kuschelpony> hmm, im not sure what you refer with "inverter" ?
16:25:51 <Kuschelpony> hmm maybe a variable frequency drive? thats the same as a delta rotary
16:25:56 <alfbaz> you know those variable speed drives that take in 230V mains, rectify to DC and then create 3 pahse output
16:26:00 <Kuschelpony> yes
16:26:36 <Kuschelpony> thats the same as a delta rotary converter, i explicitly mentioned the less well known wye rotary, as this one gives full threephase output (but needs more fiddling with capacitor values)
16:27:28 <alfbaz> Shame I'm not at my old job, I wpould have lots of access to large high voltage caps
16:27:56 <Kuschelpony> oh, plain motor run caps do just perfectly
16:28:08 <Kuschelpony> avoid the motor start caps, they could overheat and explode
16:28:43 <alfbaz> That's good news, they're relatively cheap
16:28:52 <Kuschelpony> yeah, while i als ohave some nice toys at my current job, most gear is in my personal collection in my basement, but ehm... there are reasons i dont want to make photos :)
16:29:08 <alfbaz> lol
16:30:25 <Halcyon> I'm curious now Kuschelpony
16:30:29 <Halcyon> What are the reasons :P
16:30:43 <Kuschelpony> perhaps the same you dont post photos of your basement :)
16:30:49 <alfbaz> where I work now you are not allowed to take home anything, even if it's waiting to be taken away to the dump
16:31:12 <alfbaz> yeah guys we all know gimps are camera shy :P
16:31:20 <Kuschelpony> mmh, thats gernerally the same in germany, i have an lucky exception
16:32:09 <Kuschelpony> here it is commonly the thing that thigns are not "waste" but "resources" that are already sold to recycling companies
16:32:33 <alfbaz> yes smaller employers here are much more tolerant when it comes to how the deal with waste
16:35:48 <Kuschelpony> but electronics became very boring over the years for me, so i do non langer make the awesome projects, just small neccesities and to practise to not let my skills rust
16:36:28 <Kuschelpony> maybe i finish my TDA7294 diff amp layout today, when the rain outaside does not stop
16:36:46 <alfbaz> Electronic projects at home are the only thing keeping my brain active as work is no longer a challenge
16:37:11 <Kuschelpony> mmh yeah, right so
16:38:00 <Kuschelpony> its just that other parts of my life have turned out to be also at least as well as important or even more
16:38:33 <alfbaz> diff amp? so not its intended hifi application?
16:38:43 <Kuschelpony> so whats more missing in my life are other more creative activities and personal experiences
16:39:18 <Kuschelpony> close to Hi-Fi but with the input configured as differential
16:40:13 <Kuschelpony> im a big friend of XLr connections where signal reference is entirely independ of a solid shieldground
16:41:26 <alfbaz> ahh, ok
16:41:31 <Kuschelpony> and this specific board is primarily for a new speaker test box, where signal in and out is from a PC
16:42:07 <alfbaz> what pcb layout program do you use?
16:42:10 <Kuschelpony> so good reasons to have independ signal references, while a full faraday cage shield with mesh ground
16:42:18 <Kuschelpony> historic versions of KiCAD
16:42:39 <alfbaz> historic?
16:42:47 <Kuschelpony> i have not yet updated to the current ones, still use an slightly dated Xubuntu install
16:43:35 <Kuschelpony> from i think about 2015, thats the last version that was marked as "stable" and until recently standard in linux distributions that care for stability rather than for experimental "night builds"
16:44:06 <Kuschelpony> the recent new stable is already available
16:47:32 <Kuschelpony> but well... as said above i feel electronic to be not more the number one priority in my life, there is other stuff more interesting that i would spend my money and time now
16:47:42 <Kuschelpony> like https://d.furaffinity.net/art/firestormsix/1592030500/1592030500.firestormsix_granite_002.jpg
16:51:20 <alfbaz> That is certainly a deviation from electronics :P But I agree, recent events in my life have caused me to look elsewhere for creative endeavours
16:52:04 <Kuschelpony> btw: its also the reason for my name (literal for cuddly pony)
16:52:53 <Kuschelpony> i still keep my brain active with lots of electronics, physics and some part of math ideas, its just non longer my main interest
16:53:57 <alfbaz> yes there are other parts of our brain that need outlet no just the academic part
16:57:44 <alfbaz> nice chatting guys, I'm off have to help with dinner
16:57:56 <Kuschelpony> im not sure if i have an academic part, more like a intense interest in technical issues in the gerneral way, and self-teached and developed most concepts to really understand them
16:58:05 <Kuschelpony> ok, good dinner
16:59:32 <alfbaz> thanks, good night
16:59:55 <Kuschelpony> its just ararting the day here :)

17:33:07 <Halcyon> I've had a few wines but I am all stuffed up from my cold :(
17:33:54 <Ysjoelfir> mornings
17:34:05 <Halcyon> Hey Ysjoelfir \o/
17:34:35 <Ysjoelfir> hey Halcyon
17:34:42 * Ysjoelfir is annoyed by nordvpn
17:34:51 <Halcyon> Why is that?
17:36:59 <Ysjoelfir> first, the app starts SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW as hell, takes like five minutes to start and asks me to log into my account every time, which it doesn't manage to do correctly, so I have to kill the app and restart it a second time, and NOW it starts
17:37:23 <Halcyon> Doesn't sound ideal
17:37:52 <Ysjoelfir> also, it somehow kills my network connection (at least for opera and my mails), despite windows indicating that there is network over my 10GB NIC
17:37:58 <Ysjoelfir> erm
17:38:02 <Ysjoelfir> before it is loaded up
17:38:27 <Halcyon> I've noticed Windows 10 has trouble with prioritising network connections/metrics
17:38:30 <Ysjoelfir> it has a "kill switch" function that kills the network connection when no VPN is present, but I disabled that, so.....
17:39:02 <Halcyon> For example, there is a known issue where if you have a wired adapter, it assumes priority on that over any wireless (incl. cellular) connections
17:39:18 <Halcyon> The problem is, when it can't find internet, it doesn't fail over properly.
17:39:34 * steve30 hisses at the Windows
17:39:35 <Ysjoelfir> yep, it definitely has. I had to uninstall the drivers for my 1GB NIC that wasn't even active, so that it reliably connects to the 10G
17:40:23 <Halcyon> We have an issue at work. A lot of our laptops have built-in SIM cards, but as soon as you go to connect it to anything else, internet dies
17:40:43 <Ysjoelfir> "nice"
17:40:54 <Halcyon> You literally have to go into the registry and add a key to prevent it
17:41:07 <Halcyon> Whereas before, you can just set up metrics for each adapter
17:41:58 <Ysjoelfir> I was very satisfied with win10 for a long time now, but somehow I get the impression that they use the updates to just add more and more bugs
17:42:22 <Halcyon> I gave up with Windows 10 about 4-5 years ago
17:42:27 <Halcyon> It pains me
17:42:54 <steve30> I have a Windows 10 VM and seem to get the claws out each time I boot it up. *hiss*
17:43:45 <Ysjoelfir> what do you use instead, Halcyon?
17:43:46 <Halcyon> I'm convinced retards were responsible for the development of Windows 10
17:43:54 * Ysjoelfir pets the steve30 to make it relax
17:44:04 <Halcyon> It's almost like they had meetings to decide how they could fuck-over their end users
17:44:09 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir: Linux
17:44:23 <Halcyon> And on machines I absolutely have to use Windows (which is rare), Windows 7
17:44:31 * steve30 fires penguins at Ysjoelfir
17:45:01 <Halcyon> I could put up with Windows ME or Windows Vista. Windows 10 is far worse.
17:48:20 <Ysjoelfir> you penguin afficionados
17:48:30 <Ysjoelfir> I just never get used to linux in any way
17:50:57 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
17:51:22 <Halcyon> I was the same
17:51:29 <Halcyon> I resisted for many years
17:51:41 <Halcyon> But Windows 10 forced me to learn Linux and I have never looked back
17:52:52 <Ysjoelfir> you know, I am pretty satisfied with win10, it works great most of the time. but as I said, recently I have the impression that it gets worse with each update.
17:53:14 <Halcyon> I'll admit, it's a bit of a learning curve and the transition wasn't completely without its problems, but it is far better than the crap I have to put up with at work.
17:55:07 <Kuschelpony> i wonder about when Windows365 comes...
17:55:28 <Halcyon> If it's anything like Office 365... *shudder*
17:56:09 <steve30> i started with linux back in 2004
17:56:46 <Kuschelpony> i did it in 2006
17:56:58 <steve30> i went linux full time though in 2010
17:57:43 <Kuschelpony> for me it was simple, the old NT i used was getting old, and XP already past some personal limits

18:04:23 <Ysjoelfir> maybe, just maybe, when I put in my new HDDs (I still wait for a recommendation, Halcyon ;P ) I install a dual boot thing. that should be doable, right? like, have win10 already installed and add a linux and that grub thing to chose?
18:05:25 <Halcyon> GRUB is old isn't it?
18:05:28 <steve30> yes, most linuxes will install a bootloader for you and automatically detect the windows
18:05:33 <Halcyon> I never bothered with dual boot
18:05:49 <Halcyon> I just ran and old Windows box/VM in Linux
18:05:51 <Ysjoelfir> well I have to, I use this PC for work and afaik there is no Altium linux edition :P
18:05:58 * steve30 is using EXTLINUX bootloader atm
18:06:03 <Halcyon> Does it run under Wine?
18:06:17 <Ysjoelfir> no idea. wanna try?
18:06:29 <Halcyon> Alternatively, if you install a Windows VM under VirtualBox, you can run applications in "Window-less mode"
18:06:37 <Halcyon> i.e., they appear to be running natively, but they aren't
18:06:43 <Halcyon> Yeh, I can try it out for you
18:07:17 <Ysjoelfir> also, does "Grub is old" mean "grub is dead"? that would be a shame, as I could annoy mrs. spouse, whose surname is VERY close to that (just add another b), every time I start the PC :D
18:07:54 <Halcyon> electrohead or Ampera would be best to advise you on that
18:07:58 <Ysjoelfir> there should be a trial of altium somewhere. let me see
18:08:06 <Halcyon> But from memory they don't use GRUB anymore? I could be wrong
18:09:21 <steve30> i used GRUB but when i swtiched to slackware I switched to LILO
18:09:21 <K> hello pattypansquashes
18:09:27 <Halcyon> Also, what recommendation do you need from me?
18:09:35 <steve30> Now I have an NVMe drive which LILO doesn't support I switched to EXTLINUX
18:09:41 <Halcyon> Hello fairy bread
18:10:09 <Ysjoelfir> hahaha :D I just need a recommendation for a cheap, not shitty 2.5" HDD, 1-2TB
18:10:25 <Halcyon> SSD?
18:10:32 <Ysjoelfir> I think I finally decided to give up on the NAS, as rebuilding it is not worth my time
18:10:37 <Ysjoelfir> nope, HDD
18:10:46 * steve30 only has 3.5" HDDs
18:10:58 <Halcyon> I'm a huge fan of Hitachi/WD Ultrastar's for NASs
18:11:17 <Ysjoelfir> it won't be used in a NAS anymore. let me elaborate, one sec
18:11:55 <Halcyon> Then any 7200 RPM drive that doesn't use SMR recording
18:12:42 <steve30> i got a seagate ironwolf as they don't do SMR
18:15:51 <Ysjoelfir> right now I have the old shitty slow NAS setup based on some single core celeron thing and that fakeRAID controller, as I found out thanks to.... someone here. I always wanted to have the NAS to have a way of streaming media to TVs and have it accessible to all PCs... but... we never stream anything to the TV and the huge amount of PCs in this flat would be.... 1. And soon a second one for the lab, but that one is not critical at all. so a
18:15:51 <Ysjoelfir> NAs isn't realy needed. Instead I can plug an external HDD to my router and have a mini network storage IF i need to share some stuff, but I probably won't. I also have my bouncers running on the NAS, but that can be done on a RasPI and Mr. Head wants to help me with that. so now I need to somehow bring those 12 HDDs in that old server to a usefull storage in my PC and still have a backup solution. My plan was now to just replace my 4x 500GB
18:15:51 <Ysjoelfir> 2.5" HDDs in that nice hot swap tray with four bigger ones. use one for my work stuff, another one for my games, and use the remaining two as storage. Add an external HDD for backups and I should be fine for what I do and can stop worrying about that old thing going up in flames anytime soon
18:16:04 <Ysjoelfir> uh, thats a long one. I hope it came through in one piece :D
18:16:09 <Ysjoelfir> also, whats smr?
18:16:12 * Ysjoelfir reads that up
18:16:52 <Halcyon> Back in 10
18:17:36 <steve30> shingled magnetic recording
18:17:46 <K> hot shingles in your area
18:18:46 <steve30> basically the magnetic tracks overlap each other, and it has to read and re-write the tracks in order to acheive that, and when the disk is nearly full it will be ridiculously slow because as it constantly has to re-write the data to acheive the shingling.
18:19:13 <steve30> CMR is the normal method where the tracks are just written in concentric rings
18:20:42 <Ysjoelfir> ew, why would you want to do such a thing?
18:21:02 <steve30> to fit more on one platter = cheaper
18:23:23 <Ysjoelfir> pfff..... well ok, maybe for highest data amounts without having to have good speed... but that reads like a potential error point there, if the magnetic tracks overlap I assume it could be prone to "miswriting"?
18:23:58 <steve30> I don;t know. It sounds dodgy but I guess it works reliably.
18:24:58 <Kuschelpony> perhaps its like HD-DVD where lots of error correction were takev even as normal operation?
18:25:27 <Kuschelpony> anyway thanks to you that i just learned one more thing to avoid
18:26:06 <DHess_US> SMR overlaps groups of tracks for higher data density, but a write to any group means that they all have to be read and then written to make the update.
18:27:01 <DHess_US> So it can be very very slow during some write operations.
18:27:18 <Kuschelpony> sounds like the logic is getting in similar territory like flash memory block erase
18:27:38 <DHess_US> It is a little like that as far as performance goes.
18:27:44 <steve30> I was going to get a barracuda but they do SMR so I went with the Ironwolf instead
18:29:00 <DHess_US> You definitely want to avoid SMR for a typical RAID setup, although some NAS systems do support it.
18:29:53 <DHess_US> And I've read about a lot of tears from people who were using RAIDZ with SMR.
18:32:03 <Ysjoelfir> ewwww, I just read a german article about that. looks like its basically everywhere nowadays and finding PMR HDDs is a bit tricky as they don't name it
18:35:10 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir, WD have a list

18:36:37 <Lemon> hi hi
18:37:55 <Halcyon> Hey evergreen
18:38:52 <Halcyon> Otherwise stick with Hitachi branded drives
18:38:54 <Ysjoelfir> off.... I somehow already guessed that the cheaper ones are all shit in that regard :D damn
18:38:55 <Halcyon> They never used SMR
18:47:48 <Kuschelpony> fascinating: i just read that physicists have already managed to scope a infrared photon
18:48:30 <K> oh no
18:48:34 <K> not the infrared
18:48:46 <Kuschelpony> to be exactly they used a kind of sampling where they repeated electron-photon interactions at increased time delays, and collected the electron deflection angles
18:49:11 <Kuschelpony> and that in super precise super tiny time delay increments
18:49:44 <Kuschelpony> oh it was infrared, or i would not be so fascinated
18:49:50 <Kuschelpony> phys.org
18:50:40 <Kuschelpony> argh, trying to deep link
19:25:17 <Lemon> hmmm I keep looking at the difference between saleae devices and dslogic plus, or other "clones" if I can say
19:25:35 <Lemon> there seem to be no reasons to buy the saleae, looking at the huge price difference
19:27:20 <DHess_US> Ysjoelfir, yea, Seagate and Western Digital sneakily tried to hide which of their drives use SMR.
19:27:40 <DHess_US> <Halcyon> Otherwise stick with Hitachi branded drives
19:27:44 <DHess_US> That is what I have been doing.
19:28:12 <Halcyon> My advice is probably getting a bit old now since WD own Hitachi's hard disk department
19:28:20 <Halcyon> But as far as I know they haven't messed with them
19:28:40 <Lartza> HGST name is not used anymore but I think you can still find Ultrastar etc product lines
19:28:47 <Halcyon> Ultrastar are still the high-end drive models
19:29:02 <Lartza> Oh hmm wikipedia is wrong about HGST name not being used at least in my local stores
19:29:24 <Halcyon> You'll still see WD/HGST for a while
19:29:30 <DHess_US> WD was required to sell the HGST assets to Toshiba.
19:29:33 <Halcyon> Particularly in OEM branded drives
19:29:55 <Halcyon> Oh right
19:29:58 <Halcyon> *shrug*
19:30:36 <Lartza> Huh no the deal doesn't look to have gone quite like that
19:30:46 <Lartza> Also HGST is the store name but product picture is Western Digital
19:30:47 <DHess_US> Toshiba has been rebranding the HGST drives as their own but they are the same drives if you are buying new.
19:31:21 <Lartza> Huh
19:31:27 <Halcyon> If you're after good quality drives, just look at what Dell/HP/IBM/Supermicro/iXsystems etc... use
19:31:30 <Halcyon> And do the same
19:31:31 <Lartza> If they never were Western Digital why are they marketed Western Digital
19:32:15 <Lartza> Seems confusing
19:32:17 <DHess_US> Western Digital bought HGST, but as part of the deal, they were required to sell off the disk division, which ultimately went to Toshiba.
19:32:31 <DHess_US> It was an anti-trust issue.
19:32:32 <Halcyon> AFAIK WD still own the "Ultrastar" brand
19:32:35 <Halcyon> https://www.westerndigital.com/products/data-center-platforms/ultrastar-dc-hc300-series-hdd
19:32:37 <EEVBot> [Title] - Ultrastar DC HC300 Series | Western Digital
19:32:50 <DHess_US> That could be, but Toshiba is now making HGST drives.
19:33:05 <Halcyon> There could be a transition phase, I don't know
19:33:14 <K> Lemon: saleae device has analog inputs on all channels
19:33:19 <Lartza> Transition phase for eight years?
19:33:26 <Halcyon> *shrug*
19:33:42 <Halcyon> Maybe they sold the technology but kept the branding
19:33:45 <Halcyon> I have no idea
19:33:46 <Lemon> yeah ? must be only certain models no ? because I saw that a few got only digital outputs
19:33:49 <Halcyon> I didn't know about the Toshiba deal
19:33:59 <Lemon> I think the dslogic plus got a couple analog ones but not all
19:34:02 <Lartza> Wikipedia says "Toshiba receiving assets for the production of 3.5-inch hard drives"
19:34:10 <K> very old ones did not have
19:34:11 <Lartza> Which is vague
19:34:25 <Halcyon> Well, assets are one thing
19:34:33 <DHess_US> "As part of the deal, Western Digital agreed to trade assets with Toshiba, with Toshiba receiving assets for the production of 3.5-inch hard drives (1, 2 and 3-platter drives produced in Shenzhen, China), in exchange for a Toshiba factory in Thailand for producing 2.5-inch drives (which had been inactive since the 2011 floods)."
19:34:37 <Halcyon> Naming rights, completely different
19:36:08 <DHess_US> <Halcyon> If you're after good quality drives, just look at what Dell/HP/IBM/Supermicro/iXsystems etc... use
19:36:48 <DHess_US> You have to be careful doing that. They often have custom firmware which is not always compatible with common SATA controllers.
19:36:57 <Halcyon> Perhaps
19:37:26 <Halcyon> But I know with iXsystems, from memory you can't just buy a barebones server without drives. They won't sell it to you.
19:37:38 <Halcyon> They sell it with drives they know work well.
19:37:51 <Halcyon> And I don't think they do any firmware tinkering, there is no need to
19:39:13 <Halcyon> Which makes sense from a support perspective
19:43:29 <DHess_US> I have some HGSTs which identify as HP that won't work on my Areca controllers, while all of my other HGSTs are fine.
19:43:54 <DHess_US> They work, but generate lots of correctable errors making them useless.
19:44:07 <Halcyon> Can't say I've ever used HP drives
19:44:21 <Halcyon> (Except in HP servers)
19:44:55 <Halcyon> Anyways, I'm going to go lay down, try and get on top of this cold
19:44:59 <Halcyon> Talk to you guys tomorrow.
