00:00:00 <K> no, no windows here boss.
00:00:11 <Ampera> it was in the original bourne shell
00:00:13 <Ampera> afaik
00:00:14 <K> it has php-pcntl extension
00:00:14 <Nothing\> wow
00:00:18 <K> has fork and such
00:00:28 <Nothing\> Ampera, but what purpose would they have for doing that back then?
00:00:29 <Ampera> It does, but I've been sternly warned never to use that
00:00:35 <Ampera> as it could fuck everything up and bring the whole server down
00:00:36 <K> why?
00:00:38 <Nothing\> well i guess there were computers with 2 CPUs
00:00:47 <Nothing\> so multithreading would help there
00:00:47 <Ampera> no clue if that's true, but I can work around it
00:00:59 <Ampera> you can have more than one thread without having more than one CPU
00:00:59 <K> it is stable on *nix, runs production code here
00:01:11 <Ampera> maybe I should consider it at some point then
00:01:20 <Nothing\> ahahaha
00:01:21 <Nothing\> guys
00:01:26 <Nothing\> mark this day on your calendar
00:01:33 <Ampera> I do not own a calendar
00:01:41 <Nothing\> for it's a momentous day in the history of man
00:01:42 <K> any fork can fuck up everything and bring whole server down
00:01:44 <Nothing\> or men
00:01:52 <Nothing\> my mom just conceded that i was right about something
00:02:01 <Ampera> ok
00:02:18 <Nothing\> we were arguing last night (just petty squabbling) as i was trying to explain to her that the alarms on her tablet won't go off if it's powered off
00:02:24 <Nothing\> but she swore up and down it happened before
00:02:32 <Nothing\> and she wouldn't listen
00:02:39 <Nothing\> as she usually does, cuz she's a woman
00:02:57 <K> id say the hackers and viruses prevented the alarms from goin off
00:03:09 <Nothing\> heh i think i've got most of that taken care of
00:03:39 <Nothing\> except the bitcoin miner on my computer, but so long as i delete the actual binaries that are doing the mining every time they regenerate it's fine
00:04:00 <Nothing\> i've gotta write a batch script to automatically delete those files and set it to run on start-up
00:04:28 <Nothing\> is there a command line... command to empty the recycling bin?
00:04:37 <Nothing\> or come to think of it, do anything with the recycling bin?
00:04:43 <Ampera> mmm, blunt force sexism
00:05:15 <Ampera> Either I know several men that are actually women, or men can be just as stubborn as women :P
00:05:28 <Nothing\> you slap the HR chick's heinie?
00:05:45 <Nothing\> Ampera, oh yeah it's not a trait unique to women
00:05:50 <Nothing\> girly men also have it
00:05:53 <Nothing\> :P jk
00:06:13 <Nothing\> frankly i think it's an eastern european thing
00:06:24 <Nothing\> or just mainland european in general
00:07:13 <Nothing\> ugh there are too many tabs open in chrome
00:07:19 <Nothing\> but i can't find any worthy of closing
00:07:50 <Nothing\> there are probably 30 tabs and half of them are 6502, 8502 or C128 documentation
00:08:34 <Nothing\> i have this extension that saves your session so you can reload it whenever you want, but I've just been adding to the list without actually doing anything with what I add
00:08:57 <Ampera> firefox currently has 55 open tabs
00:08:58 <Ampera> not that much
00:09:17 <Nothing\> yeah, it's nice to have the memory to finally have all the tabs open i need without it affecting performance
00:09:33 <Nothing\> i used to have to shut down my browser just to play a game because of memory usage
00:10:02 <Nothing\> right now task manager says chrome's using ~2gb of ram, which is actually not bad
00:10:06 <Nothing\> for...
00:10:18 <Nothing\> hrm how do i check how many tabs are open
00:10:36 <Nothing\> i thought if i closed it it'd say "are you sure you want to close these N tabs"
00:10:41 <Nothing\> but it just closed
00:11:23 <Nothing\> 38 here by my count
00:11:32 <Nothing\> but for once they're not mostly YouTube videos
00:12:43 <Nothing\> Ampera, pm
00:12:53 <Ampera> prime minister
00:20:17 <Nothing\> very good
00:20:19 <Nothing\> now what's a PM
00:20:23 <Nothing\> er
00:20:25 <Nothing\> hrm
00:20:32 <Nothing\> actually i think PM is premier
00:20:41 <Nothing\> i'm confused now
00:36:37 <Ampera> confusion is delicious
00:36:44 <Ampera> I have it for breakfast every night
00:38:43 <steve30> i need some comfort food
00:39:07 * Ampera gives steve30 a kentucky fried duvet

00:48:32 <Nothing\> well that's weird
00:48:47 <Nothing\> i'm trying to configure my joystick in VICE128
00:49:06 <Nothing\> but somehow in the process of pressing joypad buttons to try and set controls, it opened the assembly monitor
00:49:22 <K> it got confused.
00:50:18 <Nothing\> weird, every joypad button i press opens the assembly monitor
00:51:54 <Nothing\> even when i got to define the joystick controls, it still opens the monitor while i'm trying to set the buttons in setup
00:52:01 <Nothing\> guess i'm using keyboard input

01:02:57 <Ampera> how is my favorite austrian doing
01:04:55 <TheDude> sehr gut
01:05:28 <TheDude> work was kinda boring today
01:05:41 <Ampera> you should work on that
01:05:56 <steve30> i've got halloumi and chips
01:06:01 <TheDude> spent the entire day tidying up a project before committing it to the server
01:06:43 <TheDude> it was intended as a quick test at first, just to see if the concept would work
01:06:51 <TheDude> so everything I did was quick and dirty
01:07:14 <TheDude> and the entire project was a mess, so it took quite some time to get it how it should be

17:56:23 <K> hello stop-signs
17:56:55 <Zsjoelfir> we got a new chinesium (so we thought) product for evaluation. one of those wall sockets with integrated USB. But a special one. with one USB 3 type A and one USB C with PD.
17:57:15 <Zsjoelfir> Hi Unsigned Crossroad
17:57:52 <K> and how is it special?
17:58:28 <Zsjoelfir> Well
17:58:31 <Zsjoelfir> its GOOD!
17:58:39 <Zsjoelfir> especially in regards to safety
17:58:40 <K> it's a trap!
17:58:42 <Zsjoelfir> let me show you a pic
17:58:51 <T3sl4> yay!
18:00:12 <Zsjoelfir> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HxmAANiBv_whMiu2oPbWBZ6677oKLt52/view?usp=sharing
18:00:13 <EEVBot> [Title] - 302 Moved
18:01:48 <T3sl4> ooh, sardine construction
18:02:12 <Zsjoelfir> yeah, but made in a safe way
18:02:14 <K> mm, looks actually nice
18:02:24 <T3sl4> is that metal or plastic in the middle? the separator thingy
18:02:29 <Zsjoelfir> I love those plastic caps on the primary side caps
18:02:34 <Zsjoelfir> the separator is plastic
18:03:08 <Zsjoelfir> creepage distance on the PCB is >6mm under the transformer
18:03:19 <Zsjoelfir> and everywhere else of course
18:03:19 <T3sl4> seems superfluous, would think the top board is secured well enough. unless it's needed for insulation
18:03:36 <T3sl4> it looks like it has annular slots, but that could just be thin spots idk
18:04:23 <T3sl4> powered by one of those 6 pin regulator/controller chips then?
18:05:37 <Zsjoelfir> primary side, yes. also they have some 14 pin micro (?) in there. that thign detects if you plug something into the USB type A port and thatfor tells the PSU to go down to 5V if you had plugged somethign with PD into the USB C before
18:06:09 <T3sl4> i assume the top board is mostly negotiation / protection yeah
18:06:19 <Zsjoelfir> yep
18:06:57 <T3sl4> yeah, sounds pretty good. capacitor lifetime i suppose is always up for grabs, but also if ppl don't care about that then there you go
18:07:19 <Zsjoelfir> yeah, indeed. I was pretty fascinated how much thought they put into that thing
