00:00:48 <Ampera> getting ready for an away mission to help a friend fix up his home network
00:01:14 <Ampera> got him a nice passive cooled lab PC for use as a new router, tools, switches, and 1000ft of CAT6
00:11:51 <Ysjoelfir> nice
00:11:56 <Ysjoelfir> hope you enjoy that :)
00:13:19 Join: JVFoxy ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
00:13:50 <JVFoxy> Heyos, Kuschelpony suggested I'd take a poke in here.
00:14:15 Quit: TheDude ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
00:17:16 <Ysjoelfir> mornings JVFoxy
00:17:21 <JVFoxy> heyos
00:17:48 <JVFoxy> was talk'n to them about computer design over on another server and suggested I join here.
00:18:42 <Ysjoelfir> yeah, we alwayws like new joiners :)
00:20:16 <Kuschelpony> Whinny
00:20:28 Join: Nothing\ (~Shmendrick@cpe9050ca20a183-cm9050ca20a180.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) to #EEVblog
00:20:31 <Nothing\> heyo
00:20:33 <Kuschelpony> welcome here JVFoxy, you will surely find more knowledgeable people here
00:20:41 <Nothing\> does anyone know how to fix/reset a bulb thermometer?
00:20:56 <Nothing\> i saw it on cody's lab but i forget exactly how to do it and my one needs it
00:21:05 <Kuschelpony> hmm,
00:21:13 <Nothing\> the liquid's all spread out and smeared through the tube
00:21:17 <Kuschelpony> a classic mercury thermometer where the column has split?
00:21:22 <Kuschelpony> ah yes
00:21:29 <Nothing\> alcohol, but yeah
00:21:42 <Nothing\> i know you swing them and use centrifugal force
00:21:48 <Kuschelpony> pack it in your hand with the bulb away from you and swing your arm that you get maximum centrifugal force outwards
00:21:53 <Kuschelpony> yes
00:21:55 <Nothing\> i just can't remember if you do it so the liquid goes towards the bulb, or away from it
00:22:04 <Nothing\> ahh okay
00:22:27 <Nothing\> luckily it has a hole on the top, so i can tie it to a short string and swing it for max force
00:22:34 <JVFoxy> just noticing the server is... 'hidden'. also webclient off the main site, could'nt connect -shrug- oh well
00:22:34 <Nothing\> and hope the string doesn't snap
00:22:47 <Kuschelpony> yep, centrifu8ge it into the bulb
00:23:02 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, okay that clears that up. Thanks man.
00:23:11 <Kuschelpony> always love to help
00:23:28 <JVFoxy> heh
00:23:39 <Kuschelpony> espically when its forgotten knowledge of encient times that i have from my love to read obscure papers
00:23:40 <Nothing\> one more thing? would that help the accuracy of a properly working thermometer? or calibrate it to be more accurate? or is it not advised to do on a properly working thermometer?
00:23:55 <Nothing\> cuz i have a second one which seems to work fine, but without a reference i can't know for certain
00:23:56 <Kuschelpony> hmm, should make exactly no difference
00:24:08 <Nothing\> none of my thermometers give the same temperature
00:24:22 <Ysjoelfir> you should always shake dfown the mercury in old thermometers, I was told
00:24:43 <Nothing\> Ysjoelfir, yeah i believe that's what cody said too. Which is why i asked.
00:24:50 <Kuschelpony> the only possible reason why a classic thermomenter (with etched scale) could lose accuracy is when the glass bulb itself deforms, but the material science has figured out which glass to use already in the end of the 1800s
00:24:51 * Lord_of_nothing feel a little sad
00:24:57 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
00:25:02 <Ampera> how are you doing
00:25:06 * Nothing\ tackle hugs Ampera
00:25:08 <Nothing\> i'm good
00:25:15 <Lartza> Oh is THAT why body thermometers are often shaken o.O
00:25:15 <Nothing\> french toast is imminent
00:25:18 <Ampera> nice
00:25:19 * Ysjoelfir pets Lord_of_nothing
00:25:22 <Kuschelpony> read: Zeitschrift für Instrumentenkunde
00:25:27 <Nothing\> Lartza, yeah hey, i never thought of that
00:25:27 <Lartza> I never really thought about why people do it
00:25:35 * Lord_of_nothing *is purring*
00:26:06 <Nothing\> i think if i shook my thermometer, it'd probably shatter from the bending moment it'd produce
00:26:09 <Nothing\> cuz it's so long
00:26:16 <Kuschelpony> oops
00:26:16 <Nothing\> it's at least a foot long
00:26:30 <Nothing\> but it has a large scale
00:26:45 <Nothing\> +150c to -50c
00:26:45 <Lartza> I only have one analog thermometer and it's the one mounted outside to my kitchen window :P
00:26:47 <JVFoxy> sigh.. coffee cup being empty is imminent for me...
00:26:53 <Kuschelpony> i have only broken one (alcohol filled) thermomenter the pastr 30 years, and that was by lending it to a student...
00:27:04 <Nothing\> Lartza, there's a surplus store here that sells all sorts of science equipment
00:27:09 <Nothing\> especially chemistry stuff
00:27:11 <Kuschelpony> so only a blue dys stain but nothing serious
00:27:23 <Nothing\> so i got a legit scientific thermometer from them for like $2
00:27:31 <Lartza> Nice
00:27:43 <Kuschelpony> so i am getting half-afk again, looks like the glue is settling to work a bit on my project
00:27:46 <Nothing\> they also have dental tools, which are awesome for cleaning nooks and cranies of things
00:28:07 <Lartza> Yeah a toothbrush only gets you so far :P
00:28:11 <Nothing\> or in the dental tools they have these tweezers with an end that curves 90 degrees and is slightly pointed
00:28:22 <Kuschelpony> wow, one of the things that i always amazing see is how you have these surplus stores, that has died in germany in somewhere the 80s
00:28:23 <Nothing\> it's way better for electronics than a straight tweezer
00:28:40 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, i've honestly never seen one before
00:28:45 <Lartza> I only know of office surplus stores here
00:28:52 <Lartza> Wait no not surplus
00:29:02 <Nothing\> this is just a general surprus store. They carry just about everything
00:29:04 <Lartza> There's one online army surplus store
00:29:14 <Lartza> And outdoorsy stuff
00:29:42 <Lartza> Oh and I guess you'd call the office stores surplus too
00:29:51 <Nothing\> clothes, stationary, scales, army stuff, electrical components (but only passive), chemistry stuff, dental stuff, scales for weed, bear mace, gas lanterns, you name it
00:29:54 <Lartza> Used, refurbished office desks etc
00:29:56 <Kuschelpony> we do have lots of tiny (and often doubtful) army stuff second hand stores, but no general ones
00:30:13 <Nothing\> Lartza, oh we call those second hand stores here
00:30:22 <Kuschelpony> generally we have increasing second hand stores
00:30:29 <Nothing\> a surplus store is one that literally sells surplus goods that other stores couldn't sell
00:30:34 <Kuschelpony> hmm, i see a major difference between both
00:30:43 <Nothing\> the stores sell it to them, and then they sell it at a discount
00:30:50 <Lartza> Yeah I mean the naming is a bit weird
00:30:55 <Nothing\> indeed
00:31:01 <Nothing\> i know what you're talking about though
00:31:01 <Lartza> One office supplier refurbs their own stuff and has an "outlet" store
00:31:12 <Lartza> But then there are companies who come in and take away your office stuff and sell it
00:31:14 <Kuschelpony> soo, half-afk for a while
00:31:15 <Nothing\> second hand stores are great for finding cheap electronics to mess with
00:31:28 <Lartza> I don't think there are a lot of those either here :(
00:31:31 <Nothing\> i still wanna find a kid's toy piano or something electric to circuit bend
00:31:42 <Lartza> Most stuff is auctioned
00:32:01 <Nothing\> heh i found out today my doctor's german
00:32:03 <Lartza> And we have flea markets only, no cashies or anything like that
00:32:10 <Nothing\> cuz i told him my mom's stubborn cuz she's german
00:32:20 <Nothing\> so he's like "ah so you must have had an oma and opa then"
00:32:59 <Nothing\> i miss my oma and opa
00:33:16 <Nothing\> although they both had pretty bad dementia by the time they died so they were gone long before they died
00:33:34 <Nothing\> and sadly i don't remember much of them before that
00:34:00 <Nothing\> i just remember my opa always down in his workshop building stuff
00:34:14 <Nothing\> i wish i'd spent more time learning that stuff from him, or anyone really
00:34:26 <Nothing\> he was an electrician, so he coulda got me started early
00:34:39 <Lartza> Yeah my mom's parents died when she was under 30 and my father's mother died when I was around five. I remember her raisin soup, sugar cubes and one specific candy I'd always eat there but not much else.
00:35:00 <Nothing\> Lartza, you german too?
00:35:03 <Lartza> Father's father is alive but we're estranged due to an ugly divorce and alcoholism :S
00:35:12 <Lartza> Nah, Finnish
00:35:14 <Nothing\> Lartza, hey, you and me both
00:35:29 <Nothing\> i'm not estranged from my father anymore, i bit my tongue and made good with him
00:35:35 <Nothing\> but he's still pissing me off
00:35:36 <Lartza> I mean not my divorce, but my parents
00:35:42 <Nothing\> right
00:36:04 <Lartza> My dad says he'll cut ties with his father if me and grandfather meet
00:36:12 <Nothing\> like i've been msging my dad trying to rebuild our relationship and he seems to have no desire to talk to me, so i gave up
00:36:23 <Lartza> And my grandfather has an alcohol problem so can't reliably even keep it a secret
00:36:25 <Nothing\> meanwhile he's going over to my brother's place to spend some time with him
00:36:34 <Nothing\> he didn't do anything for me for my birthday, as usual
00:36:43 <Nothing\> but for my brother's birthday, he gave him $50 for amazos
00:36:44 <Nothing\> amazon
00:36:51 <Nothing\> same shit i put up with as a kid
00:37:02 <Lartza> I mean yeah I'm even more estranged from my father, but I've seen my grandfather later than my father
00:37:08 <Nothing\> i was about ready to tell him to shove it up his ass
00:37:20 <Lartza> And the bridges are far too burnt down for me to make first contact ever
00:37:25 <Lartza> To my father
00:37:32 <Nothing\> and my brother's always popping pills, drinking, constantly fucked up
00:38:01 <Nothing\> treats my mom like shit, talks shit behind her back, even though she will and does do everything she can to make him happy to the point he's taking advantage of her
00:38:18 <Lartza> Yeah at least for me the ties are cut to the whole family
00:38:27 <Lartza> I have a sister and neither of us is in contact with dad's side
00:38:40 <Nothing\> Lartza, doesn't it make you feel bad not to have a good solid family, though?
00:38:49 <Lartza> Dad's sister is my godmother but never kept contact
00:39:07 <Nothing\> like i see these people who have large family gatherings and they're all so close and so open with eachother and i think how badly i wish i had a family like that
00:39:08 <Lartza> Not really
00:39:20 <Lartza> I've been close to other people who felt like family, at least before adulthood
00:39:29 <Nothing\> i mean, i never really thought about it until recently because frankly, i didn't know such a thing existed outside of TV
00:39:38 <Nothing\> ah
00:39:40 <Nothing\> i haven't
00:39:43 <Lord_of_nothing> @Lartza where are you from?
00:39:49 <Nothing\> i've been shit on even by my closest friends
00:40:01 <Lartza> I've had those family gatherings, with my godmother and also my mother's new partners
00:40:09 <Lartza> Lord_of_nothing, Finland
00:40:16 <Nothing\> like my best friend growing up, he was always a lady's man and always had so many different GF's etc right
00:40:32 <Nothing\> then he hooked me up with a friend of his gf's, things were going fine
00:40:37 <Nothing\> until my gf blew him
00:40:49 <Nothing\> and he tries to say he's not at fault cuz SHE'S the one who blew HIM
00:40:53 <Lartza> Hell, every summer I sit in a table with my friend's inlaws and other family now XD
00:40:54 <Nothing\> he didn't do anything
00:41:03 <Lartza> Sometimes an aunt and an uncle too
00:41:07 <Nothing\> my first gf and he steals her from me
00:41:18 <Nothing\> when he had his fucking pick of the litter
00:41:22 <Nothing\> THEN
00:41:31 <Nothing\> he has the nerve to get in touch with me 20 years later
00:41:49 <Nothing\> i think to myself "awesome, i get to reconnect with him and we can hang out some more again"
00:41:50 <Nothing\> WRONG
00:42:12 <Nothing\> he invites me over for one night, just long enough to apologize for the GF thing and get me to say i forgive him
00:42:34 * Ampera hands Nothing a vent book
00:42:42 <Nothing\> next time i try to make plans, he makes plans, then the very day we were supposed to hang out i call him and he breaks off the plans at the last minute saying he's going to his mom's house
00:42:54 <Nothing\> didn't even try to make a raincheck
00:43:03 <Nothing\> so all he wanted was fucking forgiveness
00:43:52 <Nothing\> my other best friend did the same thing to me, after years of trying to get together with my gf at the time (whom i married eventually) i finally got this friend of mine to let her live in her basement and my gf moved down finally
00:44:27 <Nothing\> but then my friend starts manipulating my gf, cuz i always had a thing for this friend (she's female) but she friendzoned me hard the whole time
00:45:40 <Nothing\> now that i've got a serious gf, she starts acting all jealous, trying to break us up, spreading lies and rumours between us, she even went as far as when my gf got pregnant, she gave her an ultimatum that she either get an abortion, or she was getting kicked out. So my gf told everyone, including me for some reason, that she got an abortion.
00:46:00 <Nothing\> anyways after putting up with this for a few months, we finally got jobs and a place of our own to live and i told my friend off
00:46:32 <Nothing\> but again, 20 years or so later this friend gets in touch with me and i think the same thing "great, things are different, we can go back to being good friends. This'll be great"
00:46:50 <Nothing\> but again, she talked to me long enough to get forgiveness out of me, then broke off all contact
00:47:11 <Nothing\> even though she lived 2 blocks from me, despite us living in a totally different city from where we grew up
00:47:28 <Nothing\> didn't wanna so much as get a coffee and catch up
00:47:54 <Nothing\> and now recently i had another old friend of mine who hasn't really wronged me in any way i can think of contact me
00:48:01 <Nothing\> so naturally my first thought is "fuck no"
00:48:06 <Nothing\> so i just ignored him
00:48:29 <Nothing\> but yeah, sorry bout the venting
00:48:34 <Nothing\> i guess i needed that
00:48:45 <Nothing\> thanks for being patient
00:49:28 <Nothing\> lookit that, i got almost the whole screen filled on 4k resolution
00:49:35 <Nothing\> i feel bad for you guys on mobile devices lol
00:50:22 <Nothing\> and with that, time to take enough drugs to literally kill several grown men
00:50:31 <Nothing\> cuz that's how i do it
00:50:36 <Nothing\> self pity, then self harm
00:53:18 <Nothing\> right, now then
00:53:23 <Nothing\> i think a change of topic is in order
00:53:29 <Nothing\> seeing as i killed the chat
00:54:31 <Nothing\> or i'll try this new game i got
00:54:37 <Nothing\> The Dyson Sphere Project
01:00:01 <JVFoxy> fell into KSP myself
01:00:26 <JVFoxy> messing with stupid jet idea
01:01:17 <Lartza> Trying to stay awake ;D Should probably eat...
01:01:36 <JVFoxy> and i just drained my XL coffee.. >_<
01:03:25 <Lartza> I'm resisting the urge to just pop more pelmeni in a pot and instead... boil some potatoes
01:03:47 <Lartza> It's hot so any kind of cooking sounds awful
01:04:04 <JVFoxy> ya..
01:04:06 <JVFoxy> been there
01:04:24 <Lartza> I mean "only" 28.6C but you can never convince me that's not too hot
01:04:32 <Lartza> (83.5F)
01:04:39 <JVFoxy> anything over 15c for me is too warm
01:04:53 <JVFoxy> well warm but.. meh, if I gotta deal, so be it
01:05:13 <Lartza> Yeah and that's inside with 50% humidity, not outside
01:05:49 <JVFoxy> about the same here, mostly cuz of the coast (Western Canada)
01:07:29 <Lartza> I'm 100km from our small sea, so it really is just awfully humid
01:08:37 <Lartza> Outside it's 62% humidity here, 67% on the coast...
01:09:31 <JVFoxy> sometimes it'll be around 80-95% here. >_<
01:43:26 <Ysjoelfir> that sounds horrible
01:44:12 <JVFoxy> is normal here
01:44:22 <Ysjoelfir> ew
01:44:26 <Ysjoelfir> I don't like your "here"
01:44:29 <JVFoxy> well if not used to it, ya is ew
01:44:50 <JVFoxy> also don't call it northern rainforest here for nothing
01:45:03 <Ysjoelfir> oh, rainforest. that could be beautiful
01:45:05 <Nothing\> heh JVFoxy ksp's a very easy game to get lost in
01:45:22 <Nothing\> i love those types of games where you can just lose yourself for hours in it
01:46:06 <Nothing\> man i need to shave my head, but i'm too lazy to be bothered
01:46:33 <Nothing\> mainly cuz i have to wash my hair, then shave it, then wash it again to get all of the itchy bits of hair out
01:46:56 <Nothing\> i could skip the first wash, but i don't want my clippers getting all greasey
01:47:02 <JVFoxy> I was messing around with juno engine plane.. someone over on KSP server was having some ... troubles with a design.
01:47:49 <JVFoxy> 6 juno's on a tiny body. screaming nearly 700m/s to north pole. only to land at 90/ms, wobble, and then cartwheel of death. explosion woke me up more so eh.. guess its time to get on with my day
01:48:03 <Nothing\> ah i never made planes in ksp in any serious manner. I played around with it when it was a new feature but i found them much too unwieldy and difficult to build or fly in a balanced manner
01:48:27 <JVFoxy> very much pilot myself..
01:48:35 <Nothing\> lol at least it sounds like it was a spectacular failuire
01:48:46 <JVFoxy> although, school on hold since a few years ago when airfield was dozed over. Then covid messed it all up
01:48:48 <Nothing\> why not use mechjeb during prototyping?
01:49:17 <JVFoxy> I wasn't being too serious. I don't use mechjeb..
01:49:27 <Nothing\> ah
01:49:29 <Nothing\> yeah me neither
01:49:43 <JVFoxy> times I am serious with designs, I"ll test fly quite a lot, adjust..
01:50:02 <Nothing\> i used to, but after not playing it a few years there've been so many updates to ksp and mechjeb that neither is easily usable without consulting the documentation
01:50:37 <Nothing\> i just got this new game yesterday called Dyson Sphere Project it looks pretty cool
01:51:20 <Nothing\> it's an open world space game where as far as i can tell, you go to planets and other bodies to mine resources which you use to craft parts that you use to construct a dyson sphere
01:51:31 <Nothing\> but i've only played it for a few minutes
01:51:52 <Nothing\> so i could be mistaken. but that's what the jist of the game seems to be
01:52:27 <Nothing\> you fly this little shit to a planet, exit the ship as a mech and use the mech to gather resources
01:52:47 <JVFoxy> I've seen dyson sphere game play. I think someone in a video was talking about how it has no real enemies or a kind of death so.. more of a relax-a-thon?
01:53:12 <Nothing\> that's the sense i got
01:53:26 <JVFoxy> I wanna try and get Space engineers and Empyrion
01:53:36 <JVFoxy> trouble is the first one I need better system. Empyrion might play on here
01:53:39 <Nothing\> space engineers was fun when i tried it
01:53:49 <JVFoxy> I don't have steam.. so eh..
01:53:51 <Nothing\> but i tried it like... oh musta been around 10 yeras ago or less
01:53:54 <JVFoxy> might get it.. ventually
01:54:00 <Nothing\> Steam's nice
01:54:07 <Nothing\> i never used to buy games at all
01:54:27 <Nothing\> But i buy them now because it makes it easier to keep track of updates and install them
01:54:34 <JVFoxy> I only recently got minecraft... for a server a friend runs
01:55:16 <Nothing\> and it helps organize the games better. But I bet there's some software that can organize the software or games on your computer in a similar way
01:55:28 <JVFoxy> Lol.. I built my current machien just so I could KSP back in the early days (read: v0.18 was on friend's laptop. 0.21-0.22 by the time I got my machine running and picked up the game)
01:55:38 <Nothing\> JVFoxy, I heard they recently made minecraft so everybody has to get a microsoft account to play it
01:55:58 <JVFoxy> migrating services.. ya
01:56:04 <JVFoxy> though I've had hotmail for so long..
01:56:13 <JVFoxy> think its using the same account?
01:56:25 <Nothing\> but I've got Minecraft on my Switch. So I dunno if that'll be the case for that version or what
01:56:45 <Nothing\> i'm not huge on minecraft anymore though. I played it too much, I suppose.
01:56:56 <Nothing\> but I got a few hundred hours out of it
01:57:23 <Nothing\> i'm just not creative enough or focused enough to make anything creative
01:57:24 <JVFoxy> not sure.. I have Java.. I played BE on a friend's console as well
01:57:35 <Nothing\> i love terraria though
01:57:43 <Nothing\> i absolutely LOVE it
01:57:58 <Nothing\> and these other 2 terraria like games
01:58:13 <JVFoxy> I've been building a home on a server. its not a quite as a big thing for me as KSP? There's some other stuff I wanna play with but means newer machine. -sigh, I miss flightsim-
01:58:29 <JVFoxy> oh... wouldn't mind trying factorio with a friend or few
01:59:24 <Nothing\> one called Starbound which is like terraria where you're in space and you go from planet to planet to harvest different resources that are uniquely endogenous to that planet with each planet being a whole new map
01:59:39 <JVFoxy> I also miss a few of the older RTS games, playing multiplayer co-op against AI
02:00:10 <Nothing\> and then realms of magic which is the same sorta deal, except you get a region map with each square being a new map
02:00:10 <JVFoxy> not into Warcraft/Starcraft though... woudln't mind Diablo 2 with a friend
02:00:24 <Nothing\> factorio i found had a lot of potential
02:00:33 <Nothing\> but i didn't like having to deal with the mobs
02:00:54 <Nothing\> although now i learn that you can turn mobs off, so... lol
02:00:56 <JVFoxy> watch'n a few buddies do a playthrough on factorio.. someon accidentally stuffed rocket fuel in the train, it ran over a few of his buddies who weren't expecting it
02:00:58 * Nothing\ facepalm
02:01:29 <JVFoxy> bad enough one of them said, you have little notice of the stupid thing coming around as it was
02:01:30 <Nothing\> that's another thing, I don't really play games with people online
02:01:37 <JVFoxy> aw ok
02:01:50 <Nothing\> i got Rust the other day and it seems like there's no option to play it offline
02:01:53 <JVFoxy> I used to help a net cafe back in late 90's.
02:02:06 <JVFoxy> also a bit of a Halo fan
02:02:28 <Nothing\> heh nice
02:02:34 <Nothing\> now that's real old stuff
02:03:09 Join: Reg7805 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
02:03:10 <JVFoxy> I still have some of the games from when they shutdown. One of my fav was Total Annhilation
02:03:42 <Reg7805> hello everyone
02:03:48 <JVFoxy> heyos
02:04:06 <Reg7805> how are yous?
02:04:09 <Nothing\> hey Reg7805
02:04:19 <Nothing\> Reg7805, important question before we talk to you
02:04:31 <Nothing\> you wouldn't happen to be a soccer, would you?
02:04:37 <Nothing\> or made of mexico
02:04:41 <JVFoxy> ....
02:05:34 <Nothing\> i mean, we're not racists here, be we also don't want to be contaminated and assimilated
02:05:51 <Reg7805> are you talking about football?
02:05:53 <Nothing\> last thing we need is a room full of soccers
02:06:00 <Nothing\> yes, football
02:06:13 <Reg7805> i have no intrest in sports at all
02:06:25 <Nothing\> the sport where you kick the ball and then try to yell "gooooooooooaaaaaaaalllllllllll" for as long as you can
02:06:40 <Nothing\> no i'm not asking if you're interested
02:06:55 <Nothing\> i'm just asking if you're football, or soccer
02:07:18 <Reg7805> no
02:07:44 <Nothing\> super!
02:07:50 <Nothing\> I'm glad to hear it
02:07:51 <JVFoxy> ... found out Canada is making it in this year
02:07:57 <Nothing\> in that case, welcome to the channel, friend!
02:08:06 <Nothing\> in what?
02:08:48 <JVFoxy> world cup qualifiers
02:08:49 <JVFoxy> game tomorrow
02:09:01 <JVFoxy> last time they made to this point was '86?
02:09:04 <Nothing\> ah I wasn't aware they were on
02:09:21 <JVFoxy> we play usa on 18th
02:09:28 <Nothing\> I bet most of Europe goes all ka ka koo koo during the world cup
02:09:36 <JVFoxy> I didn't know either, till it hit the news earlier this week
02:10:04 <Reg7805> BBC news is liteally sport now
02:10:07 <JVFoxy> I've been kind of hoping, but also following Denmark cuz mom's family is from there. Argentina also cuz a art friend down there
02:10:47 <Nothing\> I AM A SHAPE
02:10:49 <Nothing\> lalalala
02:10:54 <Nothing\> I AM A SHAPE
02:10:56 <Nothing\> lalalala
02:11:01 <Reg7805> anything intresting happening? (project etc.)
02:11:16 <JVFoxy> well.. that CPU learning project I've got going
02:11:26 <JVFoxy> had to tell myself to take a break before my head explodes, get help
02:11:49 <Reg7805> which type cpu?
02:12:24 Join: steve30 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
02:12:24 Mode: (by ChanOP) +o steve30
02:12:26 <JVFoxy> 8bit
02:12:38 <JVFoxy> breadboard, but using logisim to learn things quicker
02:12:56 <JVFoxy> breadboard will be after I get to point I can program things
02:13:01 <Reg7805> yes, i made my own one a while back.
02:13:03 <Nothing\> Reg7805, hrm not really anything here. I guess a linear feedback shift register which generates a binary representation of every number between 1 and 2^n where n is how many bits are in the shift register
02:13:37 <JVFoxy> I know of Ben Eater's videos, kind of what got me started. But also an electronic shop dumping off surpluse due to having to move (ya no thanks to development, they've had to move several times)
02:14:02 <Nothing\> ben eater's an awesome resource
02:14:18 <Nothing\> i actually bought a 65c02 from WDC because of him
02:14:36 <JVFoxy> seen his 'worset gpu' project.. I ended up doing something of my own in a different direction though. Using a bunch of 8x8 LED panels to make a 32x32 display
02:14:47 <JVFoxy> oh cool.. was considering a 6502
02:14:55 <JVFoxy> where'd you get from?
02:15:27 <Reg7805> thats where done my 8 bit pc also, but i built it on a matrix pcb
02:16:02 <Nothing\> AND a 65C816 development board.
02:16:23 Quit: Dantali0n ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
02:16:33 <Nothing\> which, the 65C816 can emulate the 65C02 and even starts up in 6502 emulation mode by default
02:16:49 Join: Dantali0n ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
02:17:08 * steve30 returns from a rather busy day
02:17:26 <Nothing\> and it's the same price for the 65C02 SBC so I figured why not.
02:17:32 <Reg7805> right i will be here, but i will be working on my opnsense firewall as we speak
02:18:15 <JVFoxy> nothing\ eh.. how much was the 6502 and where? I'm considering myself, but I'm not sure yet.
02:23:04 <Nothing\> JVFoxy, one sec, i'll give you link. They have 65C02s which are the CMOS version of the 6502 and 65C816s which is a 16 bit version of the 6502, used in the snes. And some FPGA solutions and what not. But just a second. I'll get you their site
02:23:27 <Nothing\> it wasn't much though. Less than $10 I think
02:23:51 <JVFoxy> ok cool.. ya thinking may just bite it and go CMOS. I was hoping TTL but eh...
02:24:08 <Nothing\> https://wdc65xx.com/shop/
02:24:09 <EEVBot> [Title] - 403 Forbidden
02:24:15 <Nothing\> there's the shop of everything they have
02:24:15 <JVFoxy> a number of people rip me over about switching from TTL to CMOS but eh..
02:24:30 <Nothing\> they're the only company who still makes new 65XX chips
02:25:25 <JVFoxy> heh.. the X16 is there
02:25:32 <Nothing\> https://wdc65xx.com/shop/
02:25:32 <EEVBot> [Title] - 403 Forbidden
02:25:39 <Nothing\> oh wait, i already linked
02:25:44 <Nothing\> but yeah, it's towards the bottom
02:25:57 <JVFoxy> been trying to figure out what to call my project/board :\
02:25:59 <Nothing\> and like i said, they also have single board computers
02:26:11 <rust_collector> these guys have some too: https://wdc65xx.com/shop/
02:26:12 <EEVBot> [Title] - 403 Forbidden
02:26:13 <Nothing\> and they have the i/o bus chips
02:26:25 <Nothing\> rust_collector, that's the same story lol
02:26:30 <Nothing\> *store
02:26:36 <rust_collector> oh really? lol
02:26:49 <Nothing\> really
02:26:53 <rust_collector> wow!
02:27:06 <rust_collector> ok, I should go back outside, and do fun things
02:27:14 <Nothing\> wow spelled upside down is mom
02:27:18 * steve30 has been out all day
02:27:24 <Nothing\> it's actually kinda chilly out today-
02:27:42 <JVFoxy> ... just a development board?
02:27:54 <rust_collector> it is a nice hot 13c here. and it has been raining a bit on and off all day
02:28:32 <Nothing\> oh yeah
02:28:37 <Nothing\> i got the game rust the other day
02:28:50 <Nothing\> but i haven't bothered playing it cuz it seems like you can only play it online
02:29:06 <Nothing\> it looks interesting though
02:31:45 <JVFoxy> hmm.. was hoping to get just the chip..
02:32:17 <steve30> I think I managed three seperate youtube videos out of today
02:34:15 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
02:35:25 <JVFoxy> ok so.. just development board instead of the chip.. ugh ok I don't know. head is a mess right now.
02:35:51 <JVFoxy> a part of me wonders if I could just breadboard up a CPU instead of buying one
02:37:41 <arch> you know how mosfet datasheets say "esd sensitive device"? has anyone here accidentally killed a mosfet just by touchhing it when soldering?
02:38:00 <arch> i dont use any fancy esd wrist straps or mats, and have yet to kill one by esd
02:39:23 <Kuschelpony> oh looks like JVFoxy you have found good conversation here
02:39:49 <JVFoxy> ya trouble is.. I need to take a break, my eyes going crosswise now
02:39:51 <Kuschelpony> so far thats what i did today https://jabber.de:5281/upload/_7T-Hdy68dgALpTM/Oszir%c3%b6hre.JPG
02:39:55 <Ysjoelfir> yep. you can leave the Fox here. :)
02:40:00 <Ysjoelfir> Nice Kuschelpony!
02:40:31 <arch> what is that, a diy analog scope?
02:40:34 <JVFoxy> oh.. btw.. speaking of physical projects. Anyone done stuff with punch cards?
02:40:35 <Kuschelpony> unfortunately all spray paint i had was blue, and no aluminium plate for the operating panel on the right
02:40:50 <Nothing\> JVFoxy, oh they have just the chip too
02:40:54 <Nothing\> lemme find it for you
02:41:00 <Nothing\> i bought 2 of them from this site
02:41:15 <Nothing\> a 65C02 and a 65C816
02:41:16 <JVFoxy> nothing\ ok cool
02:41:18 <Kuschelpony> arch, i also intend to build a scope with another tube in some future, but this is going to be an electrostativ defelcted TV, inspired by like a Hallicrafters54
02:41:19 <Nothing\> and the board
02:41:38 <Kuschelpony> or at least a video monitor as we have no analog TV to receive
02:41:45 <JVFoxy> well source for chip would be nice. I've a friend who's worked with them before, coding wise. Just needs to brush up on things agian, or so they said
02:42:40 <Kuschelpony> i love this tube specifically for the open space behind the screen, that adds some feeling if i might finish that one day in a shape with open top
02:42:54 <Kuschelpony> too bad its only 10cm, or more like 9cm useable
02:43:08 <Nothing\> JVFoxy, oh that's right, I had to buy the chips from a 3rd party vendor. In my case I got them from Mouser. But the site has a list of vendors you can buy them from.
02:43:24 <arch> the glass is clear, wont that let more xrays pass out?
02:43:26 <Nothing\> lemme see if i can find that list
02:43:30 <JVFoxy> oh mouser
02:43:33 <arch> iirc TV glass is infused with lead oxide
02:43:35 <Nothing\> the site's not the greatest to navigate
02:43:55 <Nothing\> arch, yup to prevent the electron beam from frying your DNA
02:44:15 <Nothing\> and that's part of the reason they're so heavy too, or so I've heard.
02:44:29 <Kuschelpony> arch, this tube rans only on 2kV so no worries
02:44:31 <Nothing\> the glass has to be so thick and infused with lead
02:44:32 <arch> yeah, apparently the lead oxide infusion makes the weight of the tube 25% heavier
02:44:49 <Nothing\> wow, wouldn't have thought it would be that much.
02:44:50 <Kuschelpony> this does not even need lead
02:45:37 <Kuschelpony> if i remember right, the legal limit is 6kV, below that voltage any tube of ordinary glass or metals can not emit x-rays for sure
02:46:17 <Kuschelpony> above 6kV you need thicker glass and/ore leaded glass and have to proof as manufacturer that the tube is either safe or needs external shielding
02:46:19 <arch> i wonder if those xenon flash tubes from disposable cameras output xrays if you trigger the tube with 6kv+ pulse
02:46:38 <Nothing\> JVFoxy, have you found anything yet? cuz tbh i'm having a hell of a time finding that list of vendors i was talking about
02:46:45 <Nothing\> this site is atrocious to navigate
02:46:52 <Kuschelpony> a second limit is above 30kv where the X-Rays really penetrate stuff, and then active HV limit and other stuff is mandatory
02:47:07 <Nothing\> it's a wonder i managed to find it in the first place when i ordered it myself
02:47:09 <Kuschelpony> arch, unlikely as they have no vacuum
02:47:18 <arch> ahh good point
02:47:25 <Nothing\> but you could probably find it if you search mouser
02:47:35 <DHess_US> How do they pulse x-ray tubes?
02:47:42 <arch> Kuschelpony, what about if you passed HV through vacuum tubes?
02:47:47 <Kuschelpony> there needs to be a lot of stuff happen to create x-rays in gasses, exotic stuff like runaway electrons
02:47:49 <arch> like a triode
02:47:55 <Kuschelpony> arch, then you DO make x-rays
02:47:59 <arch> cool :D
02:48:05 <Kuschelpony> uhm, i think not
02:48:09 <JVFoxy> ok here we go, speaking of physical projects. A little something I did manage to get working. I had a few ideas what I could use it for but since my CPU project, its just kind fo been waiting; https://imgur.com/a/GYX7Dke
02:48:10 <EEVBot> [Title] - Imgur: The magic of the Internet
02:48:19 <Kuschelpony> btw: it even happens with ordinary vacuum lightbulbs
02:49:04 <Nothing\> JVFoxy, i found a link to buy it on mouser
02:49:06 <Nothing\> https://www.mouser.ca/ProductDetail/Western-Design-Center-WDC/W65C02S6TPG-14?qs=opBjA1TV903lvWo9AEKH5w%3D%3D
02:49:23 <Nothing\> i believe i paid $20 shipping
02:49:34 <Kuschelpony> thats the point when tesla coild or other HV experiments can get potentially nasty, when someone takes a vacuum lightbulb and enjoys the greenish fluorescence on the glass
02:49:39 <Nothing\> a bit pricy. But worth it for a one time cost.
02:49:40 * arch gets to work building a triode xray device to irradiate bugs
02:49:56 <arch> soon mutant bugs will take over the world, muahaha
02:49:58 <Kuschelpony> gas filled lightbulbs where you see grey-yellow-viole streamers instead are safe
02:50:32 <Nothing\> JVFoxy, oh, the link i linked you to is their canadian site. You may have to change that
02:50:33 <Nothing\> .
02:50:35 <JVFoxy> well shipping can be a bit 'meh' but just the fact the chip is still on the market helps
02:50:48 <arch> i wonder, if standard filament lightbulb which had its filament burnt out, would output xrays if the voltage was high enough
02:51:01 <Nothing\> JVFoxy, oh yeah, like the date code on my chip is... lemme see
02:51:04 <JVFoxy> lol.. canadian site? No its perfect (west coast Canada here)
02:51:43 <Kuschelpony> arch, as said it depends on vacuum or gas filling
02:51:56 <Kuschelpony> in vacuum yes they can do
02:52:12 Quit: EEVBot ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
02:52:20 <Nothing\> date code is 1947
02:52:26 <Nothing\> so they're still making them
02:52:30 <Nothing\> brand new
02:53:02 <JVFoxy> eh.. '47 dies? Isn't the ealier versions have some sort of addressing hardware bug?
02:53:17 <JVFoxy> got fixed in the most recent versions?
02:53:25 <Nothing\> where the date code on the nmos 6502 i have is 4135
02:53:28 <Nothing\> lol
02:53:42 <JVFoxy> uh.. ok no idea how to read that
02:53:50 <Nothing\> you don't, it's fake lol
02:54:02 <Nothing\> it's a counterfeit chip and they apparently don't understand datecodes
02:54:19 <JVFoxy> wait.. counterfeit from mouser or this from some other place?
02:54:40 <Nothing\> like my 74HC595 shift registers where the TI logo is a picture of the whole united states
02:54:49 <Nothing\> ineastad of just texas
02:55:06 <JVFoxy> lol
02:55:11 <Nothing\> no no no these came from aliexpress
02:55:15 <JVFoxy> mm ok..
02:55:28 <JVFoxy> long as mouser has the most recent..
02:55:32 <Nothing\> like 99% of my chips have come from them
02:56:09 <JVFoxy> saw a video, someone testing a vintage CPU with a russian made one, specks were exact.
02:56:32 <Nothing\> was the russian one brownish green?
02:57:34 <Nothing\> a lot of russian chips, especially the logic ones have this weird brownish green color. Like elephant poop
02:57:59 <JVFoxy> Soviet K1810VM88 VS Intel 8088 Benchmark
02:58:41 <JVFoxy> soviet one was white body with silver metal cover
02:58:51 <Nothing\> ah
02:58:58 <JVFoxy> video over on youtube
02:59:05 <Nothing\> there's actually a really great 8086 emulator for windows
02:59:51 <JVFoxy> I still have a PC10-III.. I keep meaning to pull from storage and check over things, give it a fire up
02:59:55 <Nothing\> you have to pay for it, but there's a crack on bt
03:00:07 <JVFoxy> last check was mid 2010s, was still working then
03:00:11 <Nothing\> okay now i must leave
03:00:17 <Nothing\> i have to return some video tapes
03:00:23 <JVFoxy> lol.. same.. and thanks for info
03:00:27 <Nothing\> ta ta
03:00:36 <Nothing\> yeah np man
03:00:42 <Nothing\> gl finding that chip
03:01:00 <Nothing\> if you can't find it there, they do sell them on aliexpress but like i said, they're questionable
03:01:19 <JVFoxy> no its ok
03:01:33 <Nothing\> plus they're just the NMOS versions instead of CMOS how it sholud be
03:01:41 <JVFoxy> talk to my friend about it.. maybe get a couple of them
03:01:50 <Nothing\> that's a good idea
03:01:53 <JVFoxy> ...
03:01:58 <JVFoxy> sad its not TTL but anyways :P'
03:02:03 <Nothing\> that way if you accidentally fry one, you've still got em
03:02:16 <JVFoxy> mind you I think Eater does TTL maybe on his board? Just with the hybrid chips in between?
03:02:46 <JVFoxy> eh well.. we'll see. couple of budies might be interested.. don't know where it coudl go
03:02:49 <JVFoxy> anycase.. lates
03:02:58 <Nothing\> on his specific 6502 tutorials, he uses the CMOS versions that we've been trying to find
03:03:14 <Nothing\> that 65C02
03:03:55 <JVFoxy> ya.. one I'm also looking for
03:04:24 <Kuschelpony> Commodore PC10
03:04:29 <Kuschelpony> i also have two of them :)
03:05:25 <JVFoxy> (still sour dad pulled games off it near the end)
03:05:43 <Nothing\> where 6502 is the nmos version, the 65C02 is the CMOS version
03:05:58 <JVFoxy> not exactly sure what the diff between nmos and cmos is..
03:06:03 <JVFoxy> but we can go over it later if need

04:53:56 <Ysjoelfir> Mrs. fiancee wants to watch a documentary about furry(...ism?). LEts see.
04:54:38 <Kuschelpony> i worry for you
04:54:47 <Ysjoelfir> why? XD
04:56:36 <Kuschelpony> it always makes me nervous when womans come with "you have to ...." leading to weird stuff
04:57:40 <Ysjoelfir> lol, after 17 minutes she was like "ok, lets watch something different, thats to emotional"
04:58:02 <Kuschelpony> grins
04:58:25 <Kuschelpony> at least you avoided that what i worried :)
04:58:31 <Ysjoelfir> XD
05:00:48 <Kuschelpony> i see it often leading in weird ways because "Furry" is a very broad umbrella, with the most common thing that we have some kind of animal soul charakters and be creative people
05:01:53 <Ysjoelfir> it was supposed to be a documentary, showing all niches of it, from the beginning to... well, all tings?
05:02:43 <Kuschelpony> im pretty sure i dont know all myself
05:03:11 <steve30> That's my gay pride video almost done. I've done well to get that edited today.

I mean those roof rails that run from front to back where you mount standard roof thingies onto. I read that its possible to mount a roof rack while having the rails mounted, but I also read reports that it did barely not fit.

08:16:12 <AlfBaz> good morning folks
08:23:12 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir some racks are clamped to the rails? but you can get the "standard roof thingies" in tall roof van size...so... you get what you buy
08:23:59 <Ysjoelfir> This one is supposed to be original Volvo, so I thought you might have seen more of them than I would, considered the location you are in ^^
08:24:21 <rust_collector> well, that would have been decades ago, so...
08:25:05 <Ysjoelfir> well, true.
08:25:53 <rust_collector> I was just out in the garage, trying to tidy it up a bit. as usual, it is getting there, but it certainly does not look like it
08:26:09 <Ysjoelfir> XD I know what you mean
08:26:43 <rust_collector> and I grabbed all the little hose clamps from old fuel rails and such, and threw the rails out
08:28:17 <rust_collector> a few engine harnesses, from some forgotten cars...
08:28:31 <rust_collector> it looks worse outside now, but inside too
08:28:32 <Ysjoelfir> put them all to ebay! :D
08:31:10 <rust_collector> weeeelll. no. I don't want to pay to get rid of them, AND have to deliver them
08:31:32 <Ysjoelfir> heh :D Thats a good point
08:32:15 <AlfBaz> Been sitting here in my car waiting for a covid test
08:32:23 <rust_collector> sounds fun
08:32:29 <AlfBaz> only 4 cars in front of me
08:32:44 <AlfBaz> head burried in phone
08:33:11 <AlfBaz> just looked up, there must be like 50 cars behind me :o
08:34:24 <rust_collector> you can drive to the back of the line, if you want
08:34:27 <AlfBaz> rust_collector, funner than work:P
08:34:50 <AlfBaz> a bit to cold for that
08:34:56 <rust_collector> uh
08:35:15 <rust_collector> what sort of open carriage do you drive?
08:35:29 <AlfBaz> a shit lancer
08:35:41 <rust_collector> they came with heaters, iIrc
08:35:49 <AlfBaz> lol
08:36:44 <AlfBaz> the horses dont like it
08:36:57 <rust_collector> dads parents has had lancers since... uhm, at least the mid 80s
08:37:35 <rust_collector> they buy a new one every 2-3 years.
08:38:03 <rust_collector> they are all either silver-grey, or a weird beige
08:39:15 <AlfBaz> done :)
08:39:48 <rust_collector> I have still not had a test
08:56:59 <Reg7805> question > has anybody done letsencrypt CA on openvpn in pfsense or opnsense? (how did it workout)

09:02:21 <Halcyon> Morning all
09:02:29 * T3sl4 pelts Halcyon with wildberries
09:02:37 <T3sl4> okay, i might've had two handfuls worth this time
09:02:57 <Halcyon> Yummy
09:03:00 <Halcyon> I can make jam
09:04:15 <T3sl4> also lots of mulberries around, make pie too
09:04:53 <Halcyon> I feel like pancakes or pikelets now
09:05:04 <Halcyon> With maple syrup and jam
09:07:23 <T3sl4> good idea
09:08:00 * Ampera hugs Halcyon
09:08:06 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera
09:08:23 <Ampera> how are you doing Halcyon
09:08:24 <T3sl4> Ampera!
09:08:33 <Halcyon> I'm waking up
09:08:37 <Halcyon> How are you?
09:08:37 * Ampera banishes T3sl4 to cracker barrel
09:08:47 <Ampera> going to aforementioned restaurant
09:08:50 <T3sl4> ew, crap cheese
09:09:05 <rust_collector> cracker barrel
09:09:27 <rust_collector> that sounds like the police truck they blew up
09:09:37 <Halcyon> We have that here, it's average cheese
09:10:12 * T3sl4 runs Ampera over with a wheel of wisconsin cheddar
09:10:51 * Ampera bitchslaps T3sl4 with a country fried steak
09:11:18 <Ampera> installed a new router and some other random network and computer stuff for a friend
09:12:24 <Halcyon> Fun
09:12:38 <rust_collector> that is mean. But I like the idea of installing random network stuff
09:18:12 <Reg7805> and IOT crap on vlan 69

09:20:00 <Ampera> I've yet to configure VLANs on my network
09:20:19 <Ampera> will probably explore it for certain devices when I get my new router going
09:20:47 <Reg7805> what kind of router did you buy?
09:20:59 <Ampera> A ROCKPro64
09:21:19 <Ampera> or was that a RockPRO64
09:21:23 <Ampera> one of those
09:21:37 <Ampera> need to print a case for it
09:22:12 <Reg7805> did you try 10gbe nic on it?
09:22:33 <Ampera> No, there's no point for a router
09:22:41 <Ampera> I have a quad gigabit broadcom NIC
09:23:47 <Reg7805> whats the power consumption like?
09:24:02 <Ampera> I think I'll leave the onboard realtek NIC unoccupied for future CARP usage
09:24:04 <Ampera> no clue
09:24:18 <Halcyon> You're CARP Ampera
09:24:25 <rust_collector> not much worse than a hotdog cooker

09:25:28 <Halcyon> Mmm what should I do today
09:25:44 Join: er ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
09:25:55 <rust_collector> trim some small bushes in the neighborhood
09:26:12 <rust_collector> or go fishing in some place with fish
09:26:13 <Halcyon> That's very random rust_collector
09:26:32 <rust_collector> eh, it is a thing you can do
09:26:38 <Reg7805> just curius thats all, my electric in UK is not cheap
09:26:42 <Halcyon> That's right
09:26:51 <Halcyon> Reg7805, how much do you guys pay for power
09:26:51 <Halcyon> ?
09:27:26 <rust_collector> UK power is cheap, it is just that everything else over there is even cheaper
09:28:04 <Reg7805> £0.19 per kWh
09:28:17 <Halcyon> That's quite expensive
09:29:05 <Reg7805> I run IBM x3650 m4 server which cost around £270 a year, which is a lot for me
09:29:29 <Halcyon> I pay a little over what would be £0.09 pounds (AUD$0.1673) per kWh at all times apart from peak time, which is between 1600-2000hrs Monday-Friday
09:30:31 <Reg7805> and they still want to rise the prices more (f*ck)
09:30:56 <Halcyon> Ours seem to be coming down for some reason, maybe the market is more competitive, I don't know
09:31:44 <Reg7805> Intresting, can it be solar, is brining down the prices?
09:31:52 <Halcyon> Possibly, I'm not sure
09:32:22 <Halcyon> I've just switched over to a time of use tariff, so I pay more during the peak time, but I can offload almost all of that usage over to battery
09:33:14 <Reg7805> I would love to have solar, but no sun really and i live in apartment
09:33:38 <T3sl4> hmm. i wonder if i soak my fingers in soda, they'll turn blue
09:33:46 <T3sl4> (as in sodium carbonate, a base)
09:34:02 <Halcyon> Why? What's on your fingers T3sl4 ?
09:34:09 <rust_collector> I would love to see someone setting up a solar system in an underground parking garage
09:34:15 <T3sl4> black raspberry stains :P
09:34:20 <Halcyon> Hahaha
09:34:35 <T3sl4> such anthocyanins, very purple, much wow
09:34:36 <Reg7805> solar roadways lol
09:34:59 <rust_collector> solar subway. yes
09:35:44 <rust_collector> Ok, I am not sure if I want to be awake. good night
09:35:55 <Halcyon> Night rust_collector
09:35:56 <T3sl4> i wonder how much power you could generate in a "solar subway" through granite or other moderately radioactive rock
09:36:03 <Reg7805> good night rust_collector
09:36:31 <T3sl4> have a berry good night
09:36:39 <Reg7805> put lights in the solar subway lol
09:37:15 <Halcyon> I might tidy my office today
09:37:19 <Halcyon> It's a bit of a shitfight
09:37:59 <Reg7805> engineers never tidy their office :)
09:38:38 <Halcyon> I'm not an engineer though :P
09:38:47 <Halcyon> I'm just a messy boy
09:39:23 <Reg7805> but you do electronics?
09:39:35 <Reg7805> if so the same applies :)
09:39:54 <Halcyon> Kind of
09:40:05 <Halcyon> More IT then electronics
09:40:21 <T3sl4> Halcyon is not an engineer.
09:40:23 <Ampera> there's a reason they call em pigs
09:40:41 <Halcyon> I said that T3sl4
09:40:57 <Ampera> he's an engiqueer
09:41:25 <Reg7805> i cant even sleep on my bed without cables and pcbs getting in the way
09:41:33 <Halcyon> I fall into that weird category in that I'm not a civilian, but I also rarely perform "front-line" duties anymore. It's like being in Army but working in signals.
09:42:27 <Ampera> no it's more like being in the Army, but being an assistant recruiter
09:42:52 <Halcyon> Aren't recuiters normally civilian personnel? I don't know much about the army
09:43:13 <Ampera> not that I'm aware, electrohead might know
09:43:33 <Halcyon> I sent him a message this morning but he's being a little bitch and not replying
09:43:39 <Halcyon> I assume he's working :P
09:52:13 * Halcyon licks Ampera
10:03:58 * Ampera bitchslaps Halcyon with country fried porkchops of my meal's past
10:04:13 <Halcyon> Mmmm :)
10:04:42 <Halcyon> I feel like baking today
10:04:45 <Halcyon> I might make a cake
10:06:04 <Ampera> I feel like sleeping today
10:07:25 <Halcyon> Oh, I swapped my old Intel NUC in the living room with a RPi4

10:39:41 <Halcyon> I really want a rackmounted NTP server with the big time display on the front
10:52:43 <Reg7805> Crap, opnsense does not tls-crypt in the gui, need to mess around custom/advanced options
10:53:04 <Halcyon> I'm curious Reg7805, why did you choose opnsense over pfsense?
10:53:46 <Reg7805> I do use pfsense and everyting is working fine, but I like to try diffrent stuff aswell
10:53:57 <Halcyon> Ah fair enough
10:54:16 <Reg7805> and i learn stuff
10:54:21 <DHess_US> I've been trying to get opnsense to work but have had problems with DNS.
10:54:43 <DHess_US> opnsense supports some things which pfsense will likely never support
10:54:54 <Reg7805> I just use the unbound direct to root servers
10:55:04 <Reg7805> interface is much nicer
10:55:14 <DHess_US> I think netgate is using it as a competitive advantage.
10:56:51 <Reg7805> in pfsense first i was looking for the reboot and halt system for 10min, turns out they put in diagnostics
10:57:15 Quit: AlfBaz ([email protected]) Quit: -a- IRC for Android 2.1.59
10:58:26 <Halcyon> Reg7805, yeh it's a bit of an odd place to put it
10:58:48 <Reg7805> documentaion on pfsense is way better (in my opinion)
10:59:54 <Reg7805> i think opnsense still needs some more catch up to do
11:00:09 <DHess_US> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E577LPzWQAg8wAG?format=jpg&name=small
11:00:32 <Reg7805> when i first done the clean setup, the web gui was also on the WAN side
11:01:20 <DHess_US> Huh? That is not suppose to happen.
11:01:26 <Reg7805> the opnsense had a setting which listened on all interfaces
11:01:35 <DHess_US> But on by default?
11:01:52 <Reg7805> yes
11:01:57 <DHess_US> There should be an anti-lockout rule on the LAN interface, but all incoming connections blocked on WAN.
11:02:00 <Reg7805> it was a clean setup
11:02:08 <DHess_US> weird
11:02:55 <Reg7805> i also find reddit post also > https://www.reddit.com/r/OPNsenseFirewall/comments/ofgiyt/webgui_reachable_via_wan/
11:02:56 <EEVBot> [Title] - reddit: the front page of the internet
11:05:24 <Reg7805> what kind of dns setup are you using DHess_US (DoT or DoH, or root servers) ?
11:07:48 <Reg7805> Also I apologize for my bad english and writing skills.
11:08:13 <DHess_US> Whatever the default setup on opnsense is.
11:08:28 <DHess_US> It has been weeks since I gave up trying to figure out why it doesn't work properly.
11:08:37 <DHess_US> The results made no sense.
11:08:57 <Reg7805> root servers on unbound is the default
11:10:53 <Reg7805> well i think both firewalls have their ups and downs, I do like pfblocker :)
11:12:47 <Reg7805> I will just keep using pfsense as primary firewall for now, still not ready opnsense
11:16:22 <Reg7805> anyways, Good night everyone, time for bed
11:18:36 Quit: Reg7805 ([email protected]) Quit: WeeChat 3.2
11:46:58 <Ampera> I actually gave opnsense a look today
11:47:19 <Ampera> and immediately kicked it to the curb when it failed to do two things: ZFS and EFI booting
11:47:48 <Halcyon> I need to go buy some vegetables for Jerry
11:47:54 <Ampera> as much as pfsense is made by absolute classless cunts that degrade the heart and soul of FOSS, that's just an instant fail on opnsense's part
11:49:12 <Ampera> unfortunately pfSense seemed to fail on EFI booting, but that's just a common FreeBSD. For some reason, unlike FreeBSD, it actually failed to write an EFI boot variable at all, instead of just not activating it
11:50:05 <jaymax> opnsense? more like nonsense amirite?
11:51:14 <Halcyon> Eh, some people like opnsense, but it lacks some of the more advanced features.
11:51:23 <Halcyon> I just like to ask why
11:52:31 <Ampera> I don't like either of them. pfSense has the issue of being distant from FreeBSD, but OPNSense is even worse, completely throwing away a perfectly decent installer for one that can't do ZFS, or EFI
13:42:19 <Halcyon> I don't mind it being slightly different to FreeBSD. pfsense is a really mature product and is suitable even for large enterprises.
13:42:54 <Halcyon> Anyway, I'm going to start tidying my office

16:07:48 <Ysjoelfir> mornings
16:08:34 <Halcyon> Hey Ysjoelfir :D
16:09:18 <Ysjoelfir> So, my beloved electrohead was working yesterday, shame on him xD So I have to annoy Ampera or you with my final Notebook decision.
16:09:46 <Halcyon> Mmmm ?
16:13:47 <Ysjoelfir> I got that job, so I will be traveling with the train A LOT in the following months until mrs. fiancee will move with me. While I wait for that and search a flat I will live in a small one room apartment and I will not take my big PC with me. So I need a device for that.
16:14:24 * steve30 drops a thinkpad on Ysjoelfir
16:17:51 <Halcyon> What's your budget/requirements?
16:19:36 <Ysjoelfir> I was searching back and forth for several days now, researched what will be good for my price, kind of robust and kind of fast. I looked at Thinkpads as well, steve30, but they are too expensive and interestingly the one I kind of decided for was always rated way above the modern thinkpads
16:20:01 <Halcyon> Ordinarily, I would highly recommend the Thinkpads, but you do pay for them
16:20:17 <Halcyon> Lenovo generally are quite good, even at the lower consumer end of the market
16:21:33 <Halcyon> If I didn't buy a Lenovo myself, I'd strongly be looking at the System76 laptops https://system76.com/laptops
16:21:35 <EEVBot> [Title] - Laptops - System76
16:21:41 <Halcyon> Particularly if you're a Linux user
16:22:36 <steve30> My thinkpads were scrap ones which got donated to me :)
16:24:30 <steve30> Halcyon, did you see my gay pride video?
16:24:35 <Ysjoelfir> Halcyon: I got my budget up to 850€ from initial 700. Requirements: Should be able to play old games like skyrim (than it'll be fast enough for all I do), 16GB ram minimum, 256GB SSD minimum, battery should last while doing office for some hours, despite me being around a mains plug more or less all the time. Screen size between 14 and 17 inch. I was undecided between the Probook 455 G7 or G8 and the Ideapad 5 15ALC, which i
16:24:35 <Ysjoelfir> one I will get now. Yay or Nay?
16:24:35 <Halcyon> I haven't no
16:24:54 <Ysjoelfir> steve30: I would love to have your sponsors ;P
16:25:08 * Ysjoelfir has never even heard of system76 o.o
16:25:25 <steve30> system76 look good
16:25:25 <Halcyon> You pretty much can't go wrong with Lenovo
16:25:43 <steve30> My thinkpads are early 2000s models but are still quite nice :)
16:25:55 <Halcyon> I'd be careful with Dell. Their Latitude line have issues with thermal management

16:26:27 <Halcyon> I like how you pronounce your town "Rotherm"
16:26:27 <Halcyon> I
16:26:37 <Halcyon> I'd have said "Rother-em"
16:27:20 <steve30> Americans pronounce it Rother-Err-Hairm
16:27:23 <steve30> *Roth
16:27:41 <Ysjoelfir> Well, the cheaper lenovo ones are supposed to be pretty flimsy and fragile as far as I researched. But the Ideapad 5 Series has a full aluminium chassis, good thermal properties and an insane battery life of 14 hours in office use with WLAN oO Thats basically what sold me, good price, fast octacore ryzen, 16GB ram, 512GB SSD and 15.6" screen
16:27:59 <Halcyon> Yep
16:29:22 * steve30 pets his 4kg murder-weapon-grade thinkpad :p
16:29:29 <Halcyon> I still don't fully understand the need to protest gay pride Steve?
16:29:36 <Halcyon> If it's anything like here, no one gives a crap
16:29:50 <Halcyon> And that's a good thing. It's so normal that it
16:29:55 <Halcyon> it's no longer "cool"
16:30:26 <Ysjoelfir> and having an RX Vega thing GPU it should be pretty "gameable" as well. in reviews they played most stuff up until 2019 in high details, so.... that thing will be faster than my PC right now, lol
16:30:46 <Halcyon> I haven't heard anything particularly negative about the Ideapad's
16:30:57 <Halcyon> They seem to be a good unit
16:32:12 <Ysjoelfir> steve30, I still kinda miss my good old IBM Thinkpad with its 66MHz Pentium. That thing was cute :D
16:32:37 <Ysjoelfir> So I read that as a yay, Halcyon? Good, I'll order it than.
16:32:44 <Halcyon> Yeh, I would
16:35:24 <Ysjoelfir> Its a bit of a shame that the Probooks are - for the same price - a bit slower (G7) or unavailable until October (G8), as I somehow prefered their looks. But meh, I am happt that I finally decided. Always a Problem for me, too much to choose from with just little differences...
16:43:36 <Ysjoelfir> oh, I also decided to finally buy a Software that I used for ages,,, erm, totally legal, of course, with a license from... a friend.
16:43:43 <Ysjoelfir> I feel good now, supporting that guy

17:23:21 <Ysjoelfir> Then Halcyon has to do it, he surely has that :D
17:23:51 <Halcyon> I don't have a personal account, only one for my business
17:24:04 <Halcyon> I don't think "The guy in the pink is cute" would be professional :P
17:24:04 <Ysjoelfir> That sounds perfectly fine? also: fuuuuck, the left half of my body, including my left ball, still hurts like hell after the 5G activation yesterday.
17:24:10 <Ysjoelfir> no?
17:24:40 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir, maybe it's just blue balls? Go jerk off
17:26:06 <steve30> They actually posted this: https://twitter.com/shefagainstpb/status/1413774811529203714
17:26:38 <steve30> TBH I was hoping to catch a policeman for a chat/interview but there wasn't a single policeman to be seen!
17:28:03 <Ysjoelfir> Halcyon: Nope, its from bill gates' nanobots. had that the first time as well, but not that strong.
17:28:09 <Ysjoelfir> steve30, is the police that bad in uk?
17:28:30 <Ysjoelfir> I mean, I know you have some strange laws, like its illegal to walk around with a butterknife, but.... is it THAT bad?
17:29:54 <steve30> In the grand scheme of things, I'd say they are decent, but you do have to be aware of your rights
17:30:04 <steve30> And there is no legal obligation to speak to them.
17:30:19 <Ysjoelfir> ah, ok.
17:30:40 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir, make sure the second shot is in the other arm
17:30:42 <Halcyon> Even it out :P
17:30:50 <Ysjoelfir> that was the first one
17:30:51 <Ysjoelfir> erm
17:30:52 <Ysjoelfir> second
17:30:56 <Halcyon> Oh right
17:31:07 <Halcyon> Is your Wifi faster now?
17:31:32 <steve30> There was actually a recent case where the police wanted to give someone a Covid fine, but couldn't because he refused to give his name and address, so he got arrested. The court found that he had no legal obligation to 'help' the police by giving his name and address.
17:31:33 <Ysjoelfir> No, but I regularely stick to the metal doorframe when I walk past it

18:32:34 <Halcyon> steve30, that's backwards
18:32:51 <Halcyon> If police have a lawful power to demand your name and address, and you refuse, then you should be arrested
18:33:13 <Halcyon> Police aren't in the business of just going "Oh, no worries mate, you broke the law, but we'll let you just get away with it"
18:33:34 <Halcyon> But, the court decision highlights a failing in your legislation
18:33:42 <steve30> Generally that's true, but it depends on exactly what power. Sometimes laws are not very well written.
18:33:49 <Halcyon> It seems that way
18:34:18 <Halcyon> For example, if you are driving a car, police have the power to demand certain details from you, if you refuse, you are comitting an offence. I'm sure it's the same there.
18:35:22 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - RT @MendItAussie: Michigan Attorney @SteveLehto is having his say on #RightToRepair and the EO from the #POTUS https://t.co/x3TvNiIJ1T
18:35:22 <Halcyon> Then you take the flip side of the argument, the public expect police to arrest and charge criminals who break the law, but if they aren't equipped with the laws to do so, then people get fed up that "nothing is being done"
18:36:44 <steve30> exactly
18:37:38 <Halcyon> That person who was arrested and charged for failing to supply details shouldn't have been let off

18:51:35 <Ysjoelfir> why the hell can't I find any fucking datasheet on the lenovo website!? why is their whole website only a shop??
18:54:19 <steve30> Halcyon, i'm not sure if he had actually comitted a crime in the first place. Its possible the police got it wrong, which may be why he challanged them by refusing to give the details.
18:54:24 <steve30> I can't remember the specifics.
18:57:00 <Halcyon> Quite possibly
18:57:06 <Halcyon> In which case, fair enough
18:57:16 <Halcyon> I'd have to see the court transcript
18:57:46 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir, what are you after?
19:02:58 <Ysjoelfir> want to know if the Ideapad 5 15ALC05 has a free M.2 Slot. Found a review for the 14" version which has supposedly 2 M.2 slots, but I can't find any reviews or inside pics of the 15" version with Ryzen 7-5, only with Ryten 5-4, which has PROBABLY a pretty different mainboard
19:03:09 <Ysjoelfir> but the lenovo website doesn't even KNOW that model
19:03:13 <Halcyon> Hmmm
19:03:47 <Ysjoelfir> its like "oh, we have 10 of that in stock (I don't care)" - click on that - "Oh, we have none of that, but those are the alternatives! (Ryzen 5-4 models)"
19:04:04 <Halcyon> Try the online chat
19:04:32 <Ysjoelfir> where is that?
19:04:37 <Halcyon> *shrug*
19:04:43 <Halcyon> Lenovo AU had an online chat thingo
19:04:54 <Halcyon> You might have to disable ad blockers or something to see it?
19:07:26 <Ysjoelfir> its only available monday to friday. great
19:07:37 <Halcyon> Oh that's right, it's the weekend :P
19:07:39 <Ysjoelfir> ah fuck it, I buy that thing now and don't bother to add more memory
19:07:51 <Ysjoelfir> erm, disk space
19:08:01 <Ysjoelfir> memory is not interchangeable on that one anyways
19:09:06 <Halcyon> No, on some of the higher spec models they are
19:09:25 <Ysjoelfir> a bit irritated that that thing doesn't have a kensington lock thing as well (seriously, I always thought those are just some gimmicks, but traveling on train might be a legit use for that).
19:09:30 <Halcyon> On my P1 the HDD's and RAM are all socketed
19:09:31 <Ysjoelfir> yes, but not on the ideapad series
19:09:49 <Ysjoelfir> ram is soldered and either 8 or 16 gigs. HDDs are socketed
19:09:54 <Halcyon> Kensington lock? People still use those?
19:10:22 <Ysjoelfir> I saw it in use on the train last week several times. seems usefull if you want to go for a pee and not carry your laptop with you
19:10:28 <Halcyon> I reckon I used one, once in my entire life, and it was more so my collegues didn't swipe stuff off my desk :P
19:11:07 <Ysjoelfir> lol
19:24:39 <Ysjoelfir> Has someone experience with a trackball mouse?
19:25:04 <Halcyon> It's been a while, but I've used them
19:25:07 <Ysjoelfir> I wonder if I should order one with the notebook, could be usefull while traveling as I don't like touchpads
19:27:44 <coppice_> Ysjoelfir: here's a clue: early notebooks used track balls. Then someone implemented a touchpad, and everyone found they were a big improvement.
19:28:26 <Ysjoelfir> so you would say "stay away as far as possible"?
19:28:57 <Halcyon> :D

19:28:57 <Halcyon> Hey Watcher
19:28:57 <Watcher> whast up
19:28:57 <Halcyon> Not much, how about you?
19:28:58 <steve30> I need to go out with my video camera today and its forecast rain
19:28:58 <steve30> actually, the forecast has changed to 'OK' but its foggy out
19:28:58 <Watcher> it is the first official day of the weekend and very early so also not much
19:28:58 <Halcyon> Weekends are always good
19:28:58 <Halcyon> I'm making Korean fried chicken burgers for dinner tonight
19:29:02 <Ysjoelfir> I actually always liked the little red nipple on my old Pentium 66 IBM Thinkpad. that worked good.
19:29:35 <coppice_> a few people seem to like them, but most don't. So, I'd say give one a cautious try if you can
19:30:26 <Ysjoelfir> hmm... the shop where I buy the notebook has a logitech one for 35€. I might give it a try
19:30:45 <coppice_> thinkpads still have those
19:31:03 <Ysjoelfir> yes, but they are out of my league if I want a potent one
19:31:16 <Halcyon> I personally just use a Bluetooth mouse
19:31:23 <Halcyon> But yeh on a train or whatever it's not always possible

20:36:23 <Ysjoelfir> because we like you and you like to cook.
20:37:57 <Halcyon> Can I just give you an Aussie meat pie or sausage roll recipe instead?
20:38:40 <Halcyon> T3sl4, what's typical American food? I'll write a recipe for whatever that is
20:39:18 <Ysjoelfir> We would be satisfied with your best finnish recipe as well
20:39:26 <T3sl4> well, your first problem is not using a deep fryer
20:39:30 <Halcyon> Oh that I can do :P
20:39:45 <Halcyon> I don't own a deep fryer
20:40:22 <Ysjoelfir> and mrs. fiancee adds: she would be fine with aussie stuff as well, but is now intrigued by finish recipes :D
20:41:03 <Ysjoelfir> comparing it to stuff from "Den rutete Kokeboken" we gut from rusty (who is offline for some reason?)
20:41:09 <Halcyon> If it were Christmas, I'd share what my family normally do. However hmmm.... what about cabbage rolls?

20:44:19 <coppice_> I used to be allergic to cooked cabbage, but the issue went away in my 30s
20:44:39 <Halcyon> I love cabbage, my mum makes rolls with rice and beef mince. Super delicious
20:45:21 <coppice_> rice and minced beef is supposed to be wrapped in lettuce. ask any Thai and they'll tell you
