00:00:24 <Ampera> jaymax, it's not that black and white, there's obviously a point to it all.
00:00:50 <jaymax> ya got me there.
00:01:11 <Ampera> Whatever it is, it's a doggone shame.
00:02:07 <coppice> Ampera: I try not to burn small animals, but I'm often a sloppy cook
00:02:56 * jaymax jumps out of way of chat off the rails.
00:03:28 <Ampera> At least we're not talking about cocks this time.
00:03:36 <Ampera> well, maybe coppice is, I don't know what he's cooking
00:04:40 <coppice> Ampera: Thai green chicken curry - hot Asian cock
00:04:43 <jaymax> Can you smell what The Cock is cooking?
00:05:04 <Ampera> coppice, I prefer my hot asian cock to not be green, but sounds good otherwise.
00:10:06 <T3sl4> i wonder how long The Cock would last in the ring
00:10:52 <Ampera> T3sl4, not long, he'd just be dicking around.
00:10:53 <jaymax> Probably a minute but many would claim an hour.
00:11:26 <T3sl4> for sure if it lasts more than 4 hours he should see a dr
00:12:23 <Ampera> I don't think he'll have a hard time, I bet he's just a big softy.
00:12:59 <coppice> not a straight up guy, then
00:13:42 <T3sl4> ain't never seen a cock in a ring stay soft for long
00:17:14 <K> ring of fire?
00:17:52 <jaymax> At what point did we start talking about syphillis?
00:18:33 <coppice> I think he's referring to the dangerous combination of chilli and cock
00:19:02 <T3sl4> well, that was a pretty darn nice title card https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3Khnx0lUDE
00:19:03 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: How do you prove a prime is infinitely fragile?
00:19:04 <jaymax> Maybe that's worse?
00:22:41 <T3sl4> chili is a hell of a ringer, aye

00:50:52 <Ampera> Hello one
00:51:01 <Reg7805> how are yous?
00:51:08 <Ampera> gassy
00:51:28 <Reg7805> lol :0
00:52:08 <Reg7805> has any body have experiecne with DWM (dynamic window manager)
00:52:26 <Ampera> I've used it a few times
00:52:54 <Reg7805> what kind of status bar did you use?
00:53:14 <Ampera> I didn't, but look at I think it's peksystray
00:53:30 <Ampera> that's a very flexible generic taskbar I used to use with windowmaker
00:54:14 <Ampera> might be the wrong choice for DWM, I don't know what people use there
00:54:23 <Ampera> maybe whatever status bar i3 has is of use
00:54:39 <Reg7805> I will have look, just trying to get openVPN icon showing up in the status bar, bit of pain
01:31:31 <hsn> Ampera, i love u
01:31:41 <hsn> bye

03:15:45 <T3sl4> just had a nice walk
03:16:16 <T3sl4> it's just hot enough outside that i had a film of sweat the entire time, but didn't get exhausted
03:16:34 <T3sl4> but damn did i need those 10 minutes i just spent in front of the AC, and two glasses of water
03:17:11 <Ampera> I just got done with a walk too
03:17:17 <Ampera> about 20 minutes ago, walked for over an hour
03:17:33 <Ampera> was 74F out, but relative humidity was probably 80-100% by my guess
03:17:47 <Ampera> since the area I was walking around was swampland
03:18:19 <Ampera> 3 miles
03:22:36 <DHess_US> By the time I get back from a walk, I can wring out my shirt. That is why Missouri is pronounced the same as misery.
03:23:07 <Ampera> I'm not a heavy sweater, nor am I wearing one.
03:25:02 <steve30> i don't think i ought to risk a walk
03:25:19 <Ampera> Hazard a jog instead.
03:26:01 <T3sl4> i'd recommend a bike
03:26:23 <steve30> I think i might have a paracetamol actually

03:30:55 <DHess_US> Ampera, Missouri, or any low area of the central US which is pretty much all of it, and hot and humid in summer.
03:31:19 <Ampera> We're in a relatively humid region ourselves, though it doesn't get very hot in the summer
03:31:24 <Ampera> usually never above the mid 90's
03:31:28 <DHess_US> It isn't like the Mojave desert on the west coast which is much nicer.
03:31:44 <Ampera> yeah but then you have to be on the west coast
03:31:46 <Ampera> which is terrible
03:44:58 <rust_collector> mOrNiNg pEoPlE
03:45:10 <steve30> o/
03:46:38 * T3sl4 splish-splashes nice refreshing vodkas at rust_collector
03:47:05 <rust_collector> aaah. feels nice in the eyes
03:50:34 * Ampera hugs rust_collector with a pig
03:50:56 <Ampera> are you a morning person rust_collector?
03:51:13 <rust_collector> well, define morning?
03:51:46 <rust_collector> I do not work well, if I get up between 5am and around noon
03:52:13 <rust_collector> if I get up around 2am, it is fine, and after 1pm is ok too
03:55:04 <Ampera> that has answered my question
03:55:05 <Ampera> thanks
03:55:17 <rust_collector> no problem
03:57:46 <arch> did you guys see this yet? microsoldering with ultra tiny wires? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5MNLTc7YhY (warning: weeb music)
03:57:47 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: Extreme prototype board wiring techniques
04:01:12 <arch> i need to make myself one of those pens
04:01:18 <arch> that feed the magnet wire
04:01:33 <arch> such a simple yet ingenious idea
04:01:55 <arch> bless the weeb engineers
04:02:07 <Ampera> weegineers
04:07:18 <rust_collector> that is a pretty good idea
04:08:16 <arch> yeah, cuz what i've been doing is just eyeballing how much magnet wire i need, and trimming off the excess as i go along

04:27:08 <Ampera> Not looking good for Australia there.
04:27:50 <steve30> More work for halcyon :)
04:27:50 <Kuschelpony> ouch, im sorry for the Australians
04:29:08 <rust_collector> meh, they are not your fault
04:30:44 <arch> people are gonna get pissed the fuck off real soon, and then the fun will begin
04:30:56 <arch> if it didn't work for ~2 years, lockdowns never will
04:31:38 <DHess_US> Follow the links here for more rage, https://mobile.twitter.com/jason_meister/status/1420109166216110093
04:31:54 <DHess_US> "The CDC's decision Tuesday to reverse course and urge even fully vaccinated Americans to wear masks indoors in areas of high coronavirus transmission isn't likely to crush community spread, experts say – but it might ratchet up pressure on the unvaccinated"
04:31:57 <DHess_US> How is that again?
04:32:13 <arch> lol, CDC can eat shit. fuckers have no idea what they're doing
04:38:44 <Ampera> The one thing I am absolutely sure of is that nobody has any idea what they're doing.
04:42:21 <Ampera> Politicians are gonna try to put pressure on people to get vaccinated, but most of the people who wanted to get vaccinated have gotten it by now.
04:42:49 <Ampera> The only thing they should be doing is going door to door administering them kindly
04:43:55 <Ampera> it doesn't help that the vaccine has turned into a political argument, with both sides having unwavering contempt and vilification for each other.
04:43:56 <steve30> Australia has 207 cases yesterday. Makes our 20000 look bad :D
04:44:38 <Ampera> The problem with Australia is their vaccination programs have gone nowhere, and they are almost entirely comprised of densely populated regions.
04:44:57 <Ampera> All it takes is a spark like this one, and it'll become just as uncontrollable as most other places
04:46:05 <steve30> and 4 deaths!
04:46:55 <steve30> versus 131 here

08:10:34 <Ampera> That was exciting
08:10:38 <Ampera> my grill mildly exploded
08:10:43 <Ampera> I have one of those wank infrared grills, basically a normal grill, but with wavy perforated pans instead of a grille
08:10:53 <Ampera> so because you can't see the fire, it's hard to tell if it's lit
08:11:01 <Ampera> I usually go by sound, and I could have sworn I heard the fwoosh of the burners lighting
08:11:07 <Ampera> apparently not, because I went over and could touch the grill surface without being burned
08:11:12 <Ampera> so like a genius I hit the ignition button and there was a bit of a fireball
08:11:17 <Ampera> it looked cool, it was enough force to bounce the grill pans up, and hit me in the inside middle of my arm
08:11:23 <Ampera> thankfully it's just some burnt hairs and singed skin
08:47:41 <Nothing\> Ampera, did you ever see that kentucky ballistics video where he explains how his .50 cal rifle exploded?
08:47:48 <Nothing\> or at least see me explaining the jist of it
08:47:53 <Nothing\> that guy was fucking lucky
08:47:55 <Ampera> Yes.
08:47:58 <Ampera> I saw the video
08:48:02 <Nothing\> literally plugging is jugular with his thumb
08:48:27 <Nothing\> i'm not a huge fan of his, or gun videos for that matter. But I've been a long time followering of demolition ranch
08:48:54 <Nothing\> but kentucky ballistics gets my sub for going back and buying a .700 nitroexpress elephant gun after an accident like that
08:49:09 <Nothing\> of course he's still too weak to fire it, which must be killing him inside.
08:49:25 <Nothing\> one shot would probably rip open his chest
08:49:58 <Nothing\> speaking of elephant rifles, i watched Tremors the other day
08:50:14 <Nothing\> that was so much better a movie than I remembered
08:50:31 <Nothing\> they just don't make action movies like they used to
08:51:29 <Nothing\> peppering all variety of swears throughout without a care in the world. Including a token foreign guy in the cast who always dies. Hell, even just the main characters smoking cigarettes took me aback.
08:52:07 <Nothing\> either way, it's a terrific movie if you're looking for a golden oldie
08:52:24 <Nothing\> and one of kevin bacon's first roles, but i think it came after dirty dancing
08:53:14 <Nothing\> and of course, he's gotta have his dick out for a (thankfully) long shot of him pissing off a cliff
08:53:42 <Nothing\> i swear kevin bacon's as bad for having full frontal in his movies as tom hanks is for having scenes in his movies where he pisses
08:54:31 <Nothing\> sorry Ampera, went off on a rant apparently
08:54:34 <Nothing\> lol
08:54:36 <Nothing\> i'm back now
08:54:45 * Ampera offers Nothing\ some ribeye steak
08:54:55 * Nothing\ devours like a caveman
08:55:03 <Nothing\> oh man i would LOVE some steak, any steak
08:55:20 <Nothing\> my mom's made steaks in recent years, but it's always on the oven so its just not the same
08:55:52 <Nothing\> plus she always overcooked them cuz it's harder to cook the properly in an oven
08:56:03 <Nothing\> lol then she makes what she calls "steak toast"
08:56:25 <Nothing\> which is where she soaks slices of toast of bread in the drippings
08:56:40 <Nothing\> toast or bread
08:56:46 <Nothing\> lol toast of bread
08:57:12 <Ampera> sounds like a steakumm sandwich, just without the "meat"
08:57:27 <Ampera> This is a 1.5lb bone-in ribeye, a nice cut about an inch, to an inch and a half thick
08:57:27 <Nothing\> never heard of one of those
08:57:35 <Nothing\> just a philly cheesesteak
08:57:40 <Nothing\> which is just heavenly
08:57:41 <Ampera> not really
08:57:50 <Nothing\> even though i only get them from sub places
08:57:55 <Nothing\> oh yeah man
08:58:09 <Ampera> Steak-umms are a brand of frozen strips of compressed ground beef
08:58:16 <Ampera> you could totally make a (shitty) cheese steak with it
08:58:24 <Ampera> but it's typically eaten on bread with catsup
08:58:42 <Nothing\> get some steak, herb and cheese bread toast, bbq sauce, olives, jalepenos, onions, peppers... i think that's it
08:58:49 <Nothing\> but it makes for a tasty meal
08:59:24 <Nothing\> yeah we don't have steak-umms here
08:59:31 <Nothing\> but that name alone sounds suspicious
08:59:34 <Nothing\> it's likeyou're going
08:59:44 <Nothing\> "OH BOY! STEAK... ummmmm"
09:00:08 Quit: Icedream ([email protected]) Quit: A lol made me boom.
09:00:29 <Nothing\> big badda boom
09:01:14 <Nothing\> oh yeah i was gonna make a lambda diode and characterize its I vs V characteristics

09:01:39 <Nothing\> because a properly built lambda diode actually has a region of negative resistance
09:02:06 <Nothing\> makes em useful for oscillators, and maybe that'll be the next step. But I jus wanna built thedamn thing first.
09:02:41 <Nothing\> it's just 2 complimentary (n chan and p chan) jfets in antiparellel
09:02:52 <Nothing\> so dead simple

10:05:10 <+electrohead> do you ever add hot sauce to your rice?
10:05:19 <Ampera> No I do not.
10:05:25 <Ampera> I usually eat it plain, or with a bit of salt
10:05:28 <Ampera> on occasion I will use soy sauce
10:05:58 <+electrohead> you need to try that some time, it's amazing <3
10:06:05 <Ampera> this is fairly decent koshihikari rice
10:06:09 <Ampera> well what hot sauce
10:06:18 <Ampera> there are many different styles and types
10:06:27 <+electrohead> your favorite
10:06:32 <Ampera> I really only have Tabasco on hand, and I wouldn't consider it, in isolation, to be good for rice
10:06:39 <Ampera> I can try it I suppose the next time I have rice
10:07:27 <+electrohead> there you go, then :p
10:07:40 <+electrohead> I just found out about a local place that makes/sells their own hot sauce
10:07:43 <+electrohead> pretty tasty
10:08:48 <Ampera> I found a bunny on my walk today: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/315713347368648705/869997404525576233/20210728_120919.jpg

10:20:52 <+electrohead> cuteness overload
10:20:55 <+electrohead> lol
10:40:12 <Nothing\> i just thought of a million no, billion dollar idea
10:40:24 <Nothing\> living computer displays
10:41:43 <Nothing\> produce an animal whose skin will grow as normal, but then nanomachinery will reassembly the skin into basically an OLED display
10:41:59 <Nothing\> while still leaving real skin undernearth of course
10:42:33 <Nothing\> we don't just want a pile of meat that nano bots for some reason turned into a nz

10:45:03 <Nothing\> no? It's actually pretty fun, in spite of its goofiness
10:45:20 <Nothing\> it was the first type of its genre
10:45:39 <Nothing\> now everybody's emulating them
10:45:51 <Ampera> my favorite is shower with your dad simulator

17:39:31 * Halcyon cuddles up to T3sl4
17:39:44 * T3sl4 rains on Halcyon
17:39:50 <Halcyon> How are you with RF?
17:40:23 <T3sl4> alright
17:40:49 <Halcyon> GPS frequencies... 1.2-1.5 GHz ish, which obviously are quite weak by the time they reach earth...
17:41:24 <Halcyon> How much loss would 4 metres of thin RF174 cable add?
17:41:29 <T3sl4> a good bit under the noise floor, if you don't know what you're looking for
17:41:39 <Halcyon> *RG
17:41:42 <T3sl4> with processing gain, i forget what the typical margin is
17:42:02 <Halcyon> I think the LNA adds +28dB
17:43:10 <T3sl4> but that adds to everything, signal and intereference
17:43:22 <T3sl4> is the LNA at the antenna and the cable after? or what
17:44:42 <Halcyon> I believe it's built into the antenna, before cable
17:45:31 <Halcyon> Basically I can only get a 2D fix indoors (not surprisingly), so perhaps I'm just better off with a high-gain antenna (mounting outside is not really a viable option)
17:45:44 <Halcyon> Colorbond roof doesn't help
17:45:55 <T3sl4> ah, GPS typically has a 10 or 20 dB margin for good performance
17:46:00 <Halcyon> But my phone gets a good GPS signal indoors
17:46:14 <T3sl4> a high gain antenna is directional, where would you point it?
17:46:15 <Halcyon> So I was hoping to get away with it, but apparently not with the little patch antenna
17:46:26 <Halcyon> Upward towards the sky?
17:46:30 <T3sl4> indoors?
17:46:34 <Halcyon> Yes
17:46:42 <T3sl4> what are the doors made of
17:46:47 <Halcyon> Solid timber
17:47:17 <Halcyon> It's in my server room, which out the window has very limited view of the sky anyway, so the majority of signal would be coming in through the roof/elsewhere
17:47:17 <T3sl4> roof?
17:47:27 <Halcyon> Roof is Colorbond/steel
17:47:32 <T3sl4> oh pfft
17:48:04 <K> hello butts
17:48:09 <T3sl4> hello cunts
17:48:26 <T3sl4> well, thats mainly just Halcyon and alfbaz but whatever
17:49:01 <T3sl4> Halcyon, can you just stick an arm out the window so it has more sky view?
17:49:12 <Halcyon> In the same location, my phone seets 33 sats and fixes on 13-16 of them with about 8 metres of error
17:49:15 <Halcyon> *sees
17:49:32 <Halcyon> I *could* but it would be very limited
17:49:34 <T3sl4> so get another phone and share GPS over BT and use that, sheesh :P
17:49:40 <Halcyon> Hahahaha
17:50:01 <Halcyon> Maybe I'll just try a bigger antenna
17:50:02 <K> why do you need gps inside the server room?
17:50:10 <Halcyon> GPS time server
17:50:13 <K> ah.
17:50:18 <K> perv
17:50:27 <Halcyon> I mean, the 2D fix is pretty accurate
17:50:44 <Halcyon> But it can only fix on 7 sats
17:51:02 <Halcyon> And when I say "fix", it's flakey
17:52:04 <Halcyon> I'm wondering if this would work well enough: https://timemachinescorp.com/product/1575-mhz-4-5-dbic-timing-antenna-40db-amplifier/
17:52:05 <EEVBot> [Title] - Timing antenna and amplifier for ntp time servers
17:53:30 <K> in pricey though
17:53:37 <K> it
17:53:39 <Halcyon> Oh I'd buy something local and cheaper
17:53:43 <Halcyon> That's just an example
17:53:56 <Halcyon> There are a few really good antenna manufacturers in Australia
17:54:04 <K> oh.
17:54:43 <Halcyon> https://www.rfi.com.au/
17:54:45 <EEVBot> [Title] - RFI Technology Solutions
17:54:51 <Halcyon> These guys are in Sydney for example and make their own antennas here
17:56:22 <T3sl4> can certainly try it
17:56:44 <Halcyon> I'll obviously get one that looks less like a butt plug
17:57:50 <K> why?
17:58:11 <Halcyon> So T3sl4 and Ampera don't make jokes :P
17:58:22 <K> in case it does not work out as an antenna...
17:58:38 <Halcyon> LESS like a butt plug K
17:58:39 <K> they'll make jokes anyway
17:58:56 <T3sl4> hey, i'm not one to judge
17:59:06 <T3sl4> you'll just get awful reception in there ;)
17:59:07 <Halcyon> I'm not going to go there T3sl4
17:59:29 <T3sl4> tease yes, judge no ;)
17:59:41 <Halcyon> I think we're on the same page here.
17:59:44 <Halcyon> Leaving it right alone.
18:00:30 <T3sl4> hah
18:06:29 <Halcyon> Maybe I'll just do the 'strayan thing and use a wire coat hanger
18:07:11 <Halcyon> https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R5EzgUyBS7g/T4-IPa5713I/AAAAAAAAHS0/Em-oYYuo4vk/s1600/australia-coathanger.jpg
18:08:18 <T3sl4> probably has a little gain at 1.5GHz
18:08:29 <T3sl4> and randomly everywhere else too
18:08:38 <Halcyon> Yeh, they left off Tasmania
18:13:13 <T3sl4> that'll get your 5G peak back
18:13:50 <Halcyon> I need to change into shorts, my gun has been digging into me all day and my belt isn't helping

20:47:48 <Halcyon> At least you don't need to shave there?

20:48:05 <Ampera> just on the inside of my elbow
20:48:07 <Halcyon> You could be onto something
20:48:15 <Halcyon> Short, large bursts of heat
20:48:58 <Ampera> well if you want to blow yourself up with propane to make shaving faster, knock yourself out
20:49:15 <Ampera> I'm not responsible for cleaning you up off the walls and deck when you do
20:49:37 <Halcyon> I was thinking for you
20:49:41 <Halcyon> Since you hate razors
20:50:17 <Ampera> I do?
20:51:00 <Ampera> I hate shaving my facial hair, since it's impossible to do it without my face freaking out, but beyond that I don't mind razors at all
20:51:06 <Ampera> why would I, they're sharp and dangerous!
20:52:23 <Halcyon> I
