26:40 <Nothing\> CS question
26:47 <Nothing\> how are hostmasks generated?
27:19 <Nothing\> i've always wondered about them cuz the only time i've ever seen them is on irc... and maybe a whois or tracert or something i dunno
27:59 <Nothing\> i know the ident is user generated
28:09 <Nothing\> ie everything before the @
37:22 <Nothing\> anyways, whenever you guys wake up
37:52 <Nothing\> whomever sees this, try saying "q fuh" over and over again as fast as you can
37:59 <Kuschelpony> Hello Nothing
38:08 <Nothing\> oh hey there my german brother
38:11 <Nothing\> how goes it?
38:21 <Kuschelpony> im wake, its early afternnoon here but im sorry to say i dont know anything about hostmasks
38:35 <Kuschelpony> mmh silent tired saturday
38:37 <Nothing\> no worries, it was just an idle question
38:41 <Kuschelpony> just made dinner
38:47 <Nothing\> thta is, a random thing i thought of that made me curious
39:01 <Kuschelpony> ah anyway im happy for any question that i could help
39:03 <Nothing\> it's not important and i can look it up if i really wanna know
39:08 <Nothing\> you and me both
39:13 <Nothing\> i love spreading knowledge
39:26 <Nothing\> i have few passions in this life but teaching and learning are among them

40:16 <Nothing\> i've always wanted to make an educational youtube channel about beginner's electronics stuff but I figure so many people already have, it doesn't seem like there's a point
40:37 <Kuschelpony> well im myself in a position whre i want to help other people as far as i can, because i feel in my other life im a kind of beggar and social failure, so i hope i can help at least with tech
40:45 <Nothing\> but then there are a bunch of tools i used while i was learning that made learning a LOT easier
40:57 <Nothing\> i'd love to make videos about them and how to use them and such
41:01 <Nothing\> like circuitmod
41:07 <Nothing\> or logisim
41:38 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, that's an awesome philosophy
41:42 <Nothing\> very proactive, i like it
42:19 <Kuschelpony> i want to treat people like i so miss that other people treat me, like taking a hand and leading around obstacles
42:42 Join: pa1983 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
42:43 <Nothing\> i dunno, ever since i had a kid 18 years ago i always got a great deal of pleasure from trying to teach her the most complicated things i could
42:57 <Kuschelpony> understood
43:01 <Nothing\> heh i taught my 5 year old niece all about particle physics and relativitity
43:06 <Nothing\> she ate that stuff up
43:21 <Nothing\> but none of them are in my life anymore so, no more teaching
43:24 <Nothing\> :/
43:30 <Kuschelpony> now i am born to be single and certainly not cant handle kids, but i still look to find buddies
43:59 <Nothing\> yeah i haven't seen my daughter in 6 years or my nieces in 3 and there's little chance i ever will again
44:12 * Ampera hugs Nothing\ extra tight
44:21 <Nothing\> and if i'm being honest, i've been single since my wife left me almost 15 years ago
44:24 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera 
44:30 <Nothing\> heya buddy how ya doing?
44:40 <Ampera> currently enjoying the miracle of cellular internet
44:54 <Nothing\> actually, i did have 1 rebound girlfriend after my wife, but there was nothing significant about that relationship
45:03 <Nothing\> she'd get me drunk, i'd put out
45:03 <Ampera> watching youtube, chatting on IRC, all while on the road into bumblefuck country
45:06 <Kuschelpony> no wories, i never had a partner
45:13 <Nothing\> that was about how our relationship went
45:24 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, do you mind if i ask how old you are?
45:34 <Kuschelpony> sure! im 43
45:57 <Nothing\> that's good you don't seem ashamed of never having a partner
46:29 <Nothing\> you don't seem to worry about it so much, like most of society does
47:07 <Nothing\> i dunno how prevalent that sort of thinking is in EU or germany specifically
47:09 <Ampera> no joke, the moment I said that my 5G dropped and I'm now on AT&T 3G
47:14 <Nothing\> but in america it's all over the place
47:16 <Kuschelpony> i feel in no way attracted to need to have a partner, that feels irrational to me and like a recipe for shit divorcement
47:19 <Nothing\> Ampera, lol
47:40 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, that's pretty much exactly how i feel
47:53 <Kuschelpony> oh the social norm here expects to have a partner until somethign 30 or 35, these who have still not married are then considered as failure
48:11 <Kuschelpony> thats commenting about bavaria, other parts of germaqny are different
48:43 <Kuschelpony> my personal feeling is much more i want some rings of buddies and closer friends
48:48 <Nothing\> tbh, the whole process of finding someone, gaining their affection, maintaining said affection, making sacrifices for them, things of that nature, just seems like way more hassle than its worth
48:57 <Nothing\> oh and funny story
49:08 <Nothing\> the first time i ever had unprotected sex, i got her pregnant
49:31 <Nothing\> hence why i'm 36 with a daughter who's turning 18 this year
50:09 <Kuschelpony> ooops
50:20 <Nothing\> yeah really
50:41 <Nothing\> i was 17 and a homeless alcoholic drug addict who was on probation when it happened
50:43 <Kuschelpony> at least i have no inclination of sex with womans at all
51:03 <Nothing\> i was living in the basement of my friend's parents who took me in after my own mum kicked me out cuz my drug problem was too much for her
51:14 <Nothing\> which i never blamed her for, i'd have kicked me out too
52:07 <Nothing\> but things worked out, she got some money from a class action lawsuit against the government because the water in the city she went to school in was tainted with e. coli and everybody got sick
52:17 <Ampera> there's my 5G back
52:18 <Nothing\> plus we both got jobs
52:27 <Nothing\> so we used that money to get our own apartment
52:42 <Nothing\> which we got evicted from because our baby was too noisy. lol can you imagine that?
52:53 <Nothing\> wish i knew laws better back then
53:29 <Kuschelpony> ouch, no hsppy story
53:37 <Nothing\> it was cuz we lived in back portion of a house that was split in 2 and the landlord's daughter lived in the front portion. So of course she got the special treatment.
54:18 <Nothing\> heh back then we could pay $550 for a 1 bedroom apartment
54:28 <Nothing\> nowadays it's at least $900 for an apartment like that
54:33 <Nothing\> probably more
54:43 <Nothing\> bachelors usually go for $800-$900
55:12 <Nothing\> i just read that the average price of a house in canada now is $780k
55:31 <Nothing\> it's getting to the point where the middle class can't even afford to buy houses anymore
55:55 <Nothing\> in some cities like toronto or vancouver, the average price is over $1 million
56:05 <Nothing\> just for a regular, middle class home
57:22 <Nothing\> i remember going to toronto to see phantom of the opera for school in 1998. I saw a homeless man and thought it was such a novelty. I gave the guy some money. But yeah it was something I'd never seen before.
57:55 <Nothing\> meanwhile a couple years ago we had a tent city pop up downtown that just kept getting bigger and bigger until the property owner burned it to the ground
58:13 <Nothing\> now they're more scattered through the city
59:13 <Nothing\> you know, i think if the government can't/won't build housing for the homeless. At least give them a plot of land they can set up their tent on and live without being harassed
00:18 <Kuschelpony> thats an us centric view that assumes there is everywhere lots of cheap land
01:02 <Kuschelpony> in many parts of the eu thats just already covered by towns and industry
14:18 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, i dunno, i was looking at Germany/Austria on Google Earth the other day, and there was an amazing amount of forest you guys have
14:39 <Kuschelpony> right, as i said "many parts"
14:41 <Nothing\> maybe it's not like that everywhere
14:44 <Nothing\> yeah
14:45 <Nothing\> heh
15:07 <Nothing\> i was really impressed though, you won't find that much woodland in ontario
15:17 <Nothing\> at least, the inhabited parts of it
15:18 <Kuschelpony> "here" in that village i could go for 20km of mostly meadows and some forests, thats where they plant our food
15:41 <Nothing\> that's cool. I have no idea where my food comes from
15:50 <Kuschelpony> in the norhtwest part of germany, there are places where you could go past 20km without leaving one of the towns
15:52 <Nothing\> except for the address of the factory they stamp on the box
15:55 <Kuschelpony> hihi
16:06 <Kuschelpony> i can literally walk by the fields
16:15 <Nothing\> man that'd be great
16:24 <Nothing\> i used to live in a really green city with lots of trails
16:34 <Nothing\> you could walk the whole city without ever needing to use a road
17:06 <Nothing\> actually it was a tri-city. So like, 3 cities that used to be separate but grew so much that they merged into one giant city
17:39 <Kuschelpony> yep
17:55 <Nothing\> used to be the home to RIM/Blackberry's HQ
18:03 <Kuschelpony> thats next to here as well, where nuremburg and fuerth have been grown together to be one double city
18:14 <Nothing\> dunno if they even still exist, but Waterloo still has RIM Park
18:19 <Nothing\> which is the business park
18:42 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, ah yeah you know what i mean then
18:50 <Kuschelpony> yep
19:11 <Kuschelpony> and fun fact, in historic times the first ever railroad in europe was built between these two cities
19:28 <Nothing\> speaking of rail, you ever been to wuppertal?
19:32 <Kuschelpony> also, we have there the oldest railroad building in europe
19:49 <Kuschelpony> not yet, its in the northwest about diagonally away from where i live
20:01 <Nothing\> heh sounds like it's on your bucket list though
20:14 <Kuschelpony> not explicitly
20:35 <Nothing\> well i'm sure there's a lot more to see in germany than just a monorail anyways
20:42 <Nothing\> i've always wanted to visit the black forest
20:52 <Kuschelpony> i do have two or three reasons why i might travel close to that place, one perhaps even in spring, so i might also visit wueprtal just beeing curious
21:00 <Kuschelpony> for me certainly :)
21:12 <Nothing\> and, god help me, obersalzberg
21:22 <Nothing\> not just for the nazi stuff
21:27 <Nothing\> but it's just such a beautiful area
21:30 <Kuschelpony> im just someone who loves to travel by train and also beeing curious about their oddities
22:31 <Nothing\> i'm just reading a mark twain book about some kids who lived in austria in the 16th century. It remainds me of such quaint little villages
22:47 <Kuschelpony> ah
22:57 <Nothing\> cut off from the world and all inhabitants as close as family

27:07 <Nothing\> oh wow
27:12 <Nothing\> it's the 20th anniversary of 9/11
27:19 <Nothing\> i didn't even think about that till just now
27:29 <Nothing\> jeeeez where did the time go?
28:04 <Nothing\> seems like just yesterday i was sitting in class in my psych hospital watching it play out on the tv
28:14 <Kuschelpony> and i still remember the moment when it was 20 years ago
28:41 <Kuschelpony> even if i would love to forget that thing and instead look forward
29:13 <Nothing\> it's funny, pschologists did a study where right after 9/11 they asked people where they were. Then something like 10 years later, they asked them again where they were and a good percent of people were wrong about where they were
29:32 <Nothing\> even though it was such a significant and vividly remembered event for everyone
29:48 <Nothing\> most people are wrong about where they were or what they were doing when it happened
29:50 <Nothing\> apparently
30:04 <Nothing\> i wish i could cite the study, it was just mentioned in a psych lecture off hand
32:46 <Kuschelpony> oh i ahve hard facts to remember :)
33:46 <Kuschelpony> the flat of the client where i was, the antenna measurement receiver where i watched the live video on the screen right after i had adjusted his dish for satellite reception

10:19 <Ampera> good morning assholettes
10:57 <steve30> the right click switch in my trackball is going bad

18:51 <Ampera> why else would we have gotten 5G in 2020
34:38 <steve30> i'm just wondering if i can manage going out somewhere
35:01 <Ampera> I went on a cheese tour
35:06 <Ampera> if I can manage that, you can manage anything
35:24 <Ampera> my mom's boyfriend's pickup has some pretty damn tight back seats
35:43 <Ampera> the sort of back truck seats designed for people who don't actually have legs
37:28 <Ampera> I need to buy more drives for my server, but I just don't want to spend the damn money
37:43 <Ampera> I need another 3 4TB drives and a few NVMe SSDs
37:53 <Ampera> all together maybe 400-500 bucks of drives
37:59 <Ampera> /at least/
38:55 <Ampera> I want an SSD for slog/l2arc in both my storage and compute servers, and another SSD for booting on both machines
40:47 <steve30> I got a 4TB HDD a few months ago, but i think i'll get another one as a backup
40:52 <Ampera> I kinda want to see if I can get a really good deal on enterprise grade 4TB drives. my normal supplier goes for around 60/80$ a drive
41:08 <Ampera> and I could really do with around 8
41:30 <Ampera> as I want a couple of raidz1 pools to replace my really shitty raid0 pools

57:57 <DHess_US> I gave up using SSDs for work drives. They wear out too quickly.
59:04 <DHess_US> I use them for temp/swap where I know they will be destroyed in a couple years, for portable storage in place of usb flash, and as temporary boot drives while testing a system.
