02:49:44 Quit: watcher ([email protected]) Quit: i'am out
02:49:45 <Nothing\> welp, i got one day without pain
02:49:52 <Nothing\> i guess that's better than none
02:49:59 <Nothing\> just too bad it went by so fast
02:50:16 <Nothing\> lol i found a whole buncha walnuts for the squirrels in my backyard
02:50:29 <Nothing\> i threw some back there yesterday and they didn't bother with em
02:50:52 <Nothing\> went out for a coffee today, came back to piles of walnut peels all over my backyard lol
02:51:03 <Nothing\> those things make a hell of a mess
02:51:31 <rc-garage> you should teach them to put their crap in neat piles
02:51:32 <Nothing\> but i'm tempted to go back where that walnut tree is, fell it, cut it up and sell it
02:51:39 <Nothing\> walnut's an expensive weed
02:51:43 <Nothing\> wood
02:52:21 <rc-garage> these days, any wood is, lol
02:52:46 <Nothing\> i was looking and even with prices at a historical low, it's $16 per board foot for 6/4 black walnut
02:53:06 <Nothing\> which i think is half an inch thick
02:53:25 <Nothing\> oh, 1.5
02:53:30 <Nothing\> that's right, 4/4 is 1 inch
02:53:38 <rc-garage> board foot does not have much to do with a wet tree in your back yard. there is a lot of work and time to get anything good out of that
02:53:51 <Nothing\> yeah that's the thing
02:54:19 <Nothing\> i was trying to think of a way to even come to the very roughest of back of the envelope calculations for how much a black walnut tree would get you
02:54:25 <Nothing\> but there are just too many variables
02:54:47 <Nothing\> but i mean, with walnut you don't even have to cut it into regular plants
02:55:04 <Nothing\> you can just have natural pieces of wood with the bark still on it for more organic looking furniture
02:55:21 <Nothing\> hell, you can even buy old wood, like 100 years+ that's been refurbished
02:55:39 <Nothing\> destin on smarter every day did a video about how they refurbish it, it's pretty cool
02:55:51 <Nothing\> but damn expensive for a good piece of refurbished wood
02:56:23 <Nothing\> oh hey rc-garage
02:56:39 <Nothing\> remember how i was bitching about reddit's karma policy for new users?
02:56:46 <Nothing\> and how the admins took my 1 karma
02:56:49 <steve30> o/
02:56:53 <Nothing\> heya steve30
02:56:56 <Nothing\> hew's it going?
02:57:00 <Nothing\> er how
02:57:07 <Nothing\> heh guess i've still got wood on the brain
02:57:40 * steve30 is just wondering what to install on his thinkpad
02:57:47 <rc-garage> steve is typing very fast on his new confuser today
02:57:48 <Nothing\> either that or dvorak clumps my vowels so close to together that making a typo with my left hand is liable to just form an entirely different word all together just by replacing one vowel with another
02:58:01 <Nothing\> steve30, ebook reading software
02:58:13 <rc-garage> debian
02:58:29 <Nothing\> oh hey
02:58:34 <Nothing\> this is probably a dumb question
02:58:48 <Nothing\> but would binaries for raspbian work on debian as well?
02:59:23 <steve30> Raspbian is for ARM so probably not unless you are running debian on an ARM system
02:59:24 <Nothing\> i guess i could still do get to obtain binaries even if they weren't
02:59:34 <Nothing\> yeah that just occurred to me
02:59:56 <Nothing\> man they better have an x86 version of this 8051/52 simulator i fell in love with
03:00:33 <Nothing\> i just dunno whether to go to the trouble of trying to set up a VM, or just run my pi along with my regular computer
03:01:11 <Nothing\> i wouldn't mind playing with the GPIO on a pi anyways. I never did do anything with it.
03:01:49 <Nothing\> i think i halfheartedly tried a tutorial or two that involved something with python but i just felt like a lame-o coding python so i gave up
03:02:11 <Nothing\> i'd rather do it in pure machine language, in binary. None of that hex rubbish.
03:02:30 <Nothing\> ever code binary machine language on a 64 bit system?
03:02:40 <Nothing\> try memorizing THAT instruction table
03:02:45 <rc-garage> ssh into your pi?
03:03:00 <Nothing\> rc-garage, nah i can run it locally
03:03:02 <Nothing\> that's not an issue
03:03:56 <Nothing\> so rc-garage
03:04:06 <Nothing\> i came up with what's possible a great invention
03:04:17 <Nothing\> lemme know what you think
03:05:01 <Nothing\> so i was considering the issue of compliance when it comes to drug users/addicts who have no choice but to take narcotics. That is, ensuring they don't abuse their meds without being supervised 24/7
03:05:35 <rc-garage> I think everyone should listen to doppelalbum by kraftwerk right now
03:05:46 <Nothing\> and i was thinking, maybe something like a safe with a timer that dispenses the appropriate amount of medication only at a specific time of day
03:05:55 <Nothing\> and cannot be opened by anyone but the pharmacist
03:06:05 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
03:06:09 <Ampera> how are you doing nowhere man
03:06:10 <Nothing\> or a trusted individual like family or friends or social worker
03:06:13 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera
03:06:25 <Nothing\> hey buddy, i'm in pain again but doing alright
03:06:40 <Nothing\> at least i got 1 day without pain
03:07:09 <Ampera> <3
03:07:11 <Nothing\> but anyways what do you think of something like that RC, and Ampera
03:07:17 <Nothing\> <3<3<3
03:07:23 <Ampera> hang in there, pain is temporary, the satisfaction from cheating death and suffering is eternal
03:07:25 <rc-garage> we do that here, it is like a tiny vendig machine sort of thing. used for people with dementia also, so they don't take their meds 3 times a day. they have some "tougher" versions of the machines, which could be used, I guess
03:07:37 <Ampera> something lioke wha
03:07:42 <Ampera> lemme read
03:07:43 <Nothing\> Ampera, tell that to my grandmother who suffered from fibro for 30 years until the day she died
03:07:50 <Nothing\> that pain is temporary
03:07:57 <Nothing\> then again, i guess she did die
03:08:02 <Nothing\> so conceivably, it DID end
03:08:09 <rc-garage> I hope she did, lol
03:08:12 <Nothing\> just not in the way one would expect
03:08:13 <Ampera> alright, if you don't like that proverb, then always know there's someone in worse pain than you right now
03:08:21 <rc-garage> it would be bad to bury her alive
03:08:41 <Nothing\> Ampera, heh thoughts like that always made me feel worse than better
03:09:07 <Nothing\> it's like "why would somebody else suffering WORSE than me make me happy? What kind of sadist do you take me for?"
03:09:11 <Ampera> Alright, if you don't start feeling better or at least cheered up I'm gonna beat you so hard the pain you're having right now won't seem like anything
03:09:20 <Nothing\> oh no i'm feeling fine mentally
03:09:22 <Nothing\> just in pain
03:09:25 <Ampera> I enjoy the suffering of others.
03:09:32 <Ampera> Most people do, it makes people feel good about themselves
03:09:36 <Nothing\> and i'm just playing devil's advocate here
03:09:53 <Nothing\> i like playing devil's advocate just for the sake of the mental exercise if nothing else
03:10:23 <Nothing\> Ampera, unfortunately i'm gonna miss out on the family thanksgiving tonight :/
03:10:33 <Ampera> oh right, you guys have thanksgiving really early
03:10:39 <Ampera> Nothing\, I have to tell you, you're damn lucky to miss out.
03:10:40 <Nothing\> but that's okay because i realized it's just an excuse for my cousin and his wife to show off their new home
03:10:54 <Nothing\> and i don't much feel like having somebody else's good fortunes rubbed in my face
03:10:55 <Ampera> It's better than being like me, and having to figure out what the fuck you're gonna do to celebrate a holiday you love with people you hate
03:11:04 <Nothing\> much as i'm happy for my cousin
03:11:14 <Nothing\> i'm just not in the mood for such things
03:11:17 <Ampera> I enjoy witnessing the success of others.
03:11:24 <Nothing\> i usually do too
03:11:29 <Ampera> Even if they wish to brag, I like seeing what people are capable of accomplishing
03:12:17 <Nothing\> honestly, i pray for the health and success of other humans in general, no one specific except to say that there are no exceptions to who my prayer applies to. Whether I hate them, they hate me, we get along, we have similar or different ideals etc
03:12:28 <Nothing\> i pray and hope the best for everyone just the same
03:12:37 <Nothing\> but that doesn't mean i want it rubbed in my face either
03:13:14 <Nothing\> and when my cousin hasn't invited me over a single damn time in over 10-15 years
03:13:30 <Nothing\> then he and his wife move and suddenly want us over for thanksgiving
03:13:37 <Nothing\> that tells me they just want to show off
03:13:54 <Nothing\> am i mistaken for thinking so?
03:14:08 <Nothing\> or for at least thinking there's an ulterior motive here
03:14:42 <Nothing\> i mean, i know i'm prone to paranoia and it can be hard for me to tell what's normal thinking and what's outlandish paranoid thinking
03:15:16 <Nothing\> i just screamed at my mom yesterday for gaslighting me yesterday. She was absolutely not doing any such thing and would in fact be the last person to do so to me.
03:15:50 <Nothing\> but i honest to god thought she was treating me like a child and then lying to me about it in an attempt to gaslight me, taking advantage of my childish innocence.
03:17:01 <Nothing\> which, my mom's the sweetest, most unconditionally loving person in the world and the only one who ever stuck by me through all of my problems. Plus she's honest to a fault. So she's the last person who would even consider doing such a thing.
03:17:31 <Nothing\> i wish i knew why my thoughts have become so irrational like that lately. I mean, you saw it yourself Ampera, when i put you on ignore.
03:18:03 <Nothing\> i can't say if i was right or wrong to do it, i just know my reaction was way exaggerated from what a normal person would do.
03:18:04 <Ampera> sounds like schizophrenia to me
03:18:07 <Ampera> but I don't know anything
03:18:24 <Nothing\> yeah, like clinical paranoia of some sort
03:18:26 <Ampera> it's interesting how closely schizophrenia and bipolar can be linked too
03:18:36 <Nothing\> but schizophrenia doesn't usually kick in until the 20s
03:18:38 <Ampera> I've seen it in my family, and only am just starting to learn about it
03:18:44 <Nothing\> so i should be well past the point where i'd develop it
03:18:58 <Ampera> The mind never works in easily explainable ways.
03:19:04 <Nothing\> Ampera, it's a scary condition, isn't it?
03:19:10 <Ampera> Mental health is a field which reinvents itself to be a new kind of wrong every minute
03:19:18 <Nothing\> if you've ever watched one of those schizophrenia simulations
03:19:26 <Ampera> I've learned the only help most people have is to try to understand their own minds as best they can
03:19:29 <Nothing\> things become so dark without warning
03:19:39 <Ampera> sounds like my dreams
03:19:41 <steve30> I know someone who has Schizophrenia. I read a 1980s medical text book once which had a piece about schizophrenia. It described him perfectly :)
03:19:47 <Ampera> and life
03:19:48 <Nothing\> the interesting thing is, i dunno if you read about schizophrenia in eastern cultures
03:19:59 <Nothing\> but apparently the hallucinations are actually pleasant in eastern cultures
03:20:12 <Nothing\> usually having to do with deceased relatives and helpful spritis and such
03:20:17 <Ampera> It's easy to give someone an outward description, especially if they have an acute and easily measurable mental problem
03:20:29 <Nothing\> whereas in the west they're mostly persecutory and malevolent
03:20:30 * steve30 needs coffee
03:20:37 <Ampera> however it is my belief that a lot, if not most, people with mental problems are a lot more fine grained than that
03:21:11 <Ampera> Nothing\, I kinda turn that on its head, I quite enjoy having disturbing visions and dreams
03:21:18 <Nothing\> Ampera, it's like i always say, no situation in life of any worth has a simple explanation for it.
03:21:25 <Nothing\> even if that worth is negative
03:21:32 <Ampera> I will occasionally dissociate into sort of daydreams where awful, terrible things happen to me or other people
03:21:48 <Ampera> and I've just learned to learn and be entertained by it, as none of it is real enough for me to care about
03:22:03 <Nothing\> that's a good attitude to have
03:22:08 <Nothing\> as long as they're not fantasies
03:22:22 <Nothing\> because fantasy turns into reality before you even realize what happened
03:22:28 <Nothing\> believe me
03:22:53 <Nothing\> much as i'd hate to admit it, part of why i started drugs was also to be cool
03:23:17 <Nothing\> i yearned for acceptance and the "cool" kids would hang out with me to smoke weed. So I learned that was a good way to fit in.
03:23:51 <Nothing\> of course most of those people were abusive but i didn't care. for the first time in my life i was hanging with the cool kids. So I just let them abuse me and take advantage of me etc
03:24:11 <Ampera> depends on how you define fantasy
03:24:15 <TheDude> funny how the cool factor fades in like 5 years
03:24:20 <TheDude> and then the sad factor sets in
03:24:21 <Ampera> in my opinion, a fantasy is simply a vision you wish would come true
03:24:25 <Nothing\> Ampera, thoughts which cause pleasure
03:24:34 <Ampera> All of them cause pleasure
03:24:49 <Nothing\> TheDude, i'll be honest, i still felt cool smoking cigarettes into my late 20's at least
03:24:54 <Nothing\> sometimes
03:24:57 <Ampera> but people gain pleasure from shooting virtual people in video games or watching movies about mass murderers
03:25:06 <Nothing\> not always, but sometimes i'd feel cool lighting up in the street
03:25:07 <Ampera> that doesn't mean they wish to really shoot people, or really witness a mass murder
03:25:39 <Nothing\> i guess
03:25:51 <Nothing\> just so long as you don't act on them-
03:25:56 <Nothing\> go all columbine on us
03:26:07 <Nothing\> you.. do know what columbine is... right?
03:26:30 <TheDude> sounds cool as fuck
03:26:48 <Nothing\> i have to admit, the two guys had cool sounding name
03:26:57 <Nothing\> at least dylan klebold did
03:27:09 <Nothing\> eric harris is just kinda boring and mundane
03:28:01 <Kuschelpony> https://www.richis-lab.de/Bipolar79.htm
03:28:02 <EEVBot> [Title] - Plessey Semiconductors SL3127C Transistorarray
03:28:21 <Nothing\> ooh another bjt array
03:28:31 <TheDude> sweet
03:28:37 <Nothing\> i just got an array i've been having trouble getting it to work
03:28:51 <TheDude> 6 transistors for making things like gilbert cells?
03:28:57 <Nothing\> it has a substrate pin, which it says to connect to the most negative part of the circuit, ie ground on a DC circuit
03:29:14 <Nothing\> but damned if the transistors still won't work. At least for a simple switch circuit
03:29:51 <Ampera> Nothing\, yeah columbine harvesters, those big machines that go into fields, browse the internet, learn how to make bombs, and then shoot up a school
03:29:57 <TheDude> oh no lol
03:30:11 <TheDude> I just now noticed it's 5 transistors
03:30:21 <TheDude> but there seems to be one extra, unconnected, on the die
03:30:28 <Kuschelpony> nothing, do you have a schmeatic and measured voltages? im sure we can troubleshoot
03:30:36 <Nothing\> oh, these are just NPNs
03:30:48 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, nah not on hand
03:30:56 <Nothing\> it's okay though, it's too early for troubleshooting
03:30:58 <Kuschelpony> no problem
03:31:10 <Nothing\> i probably just hooked up E and C backwards or something
03:33:00 <Nothing\> mmm deviled eggs are coming
03:33:20 <Nothing\> sweet
03:33:35 <Nothing\> my mum said she'd tried to rustle me up some leftovers from thanksgiving dinner tonight
03:33:43 <Nothing\> i was worried i'd miss out on the free food
03:34:01 <Nothing\> YES IT'S THANKSGIVING TODAY
03:34:10 <Nothing\> if i didn't already make that clear enough
03:34:18 <Nothing\> i'm just gonna come right out and say it
03:34:31 <rc-garage> it is the what?
03:34:39 <Nothing\> thanksgiving
03:34:45 <Nothing\> not sure what we give thanks for
03:34:50 <rc-garage> oh. sorry about that
03:34:56 <Nothing\> but i know just a couple of weeks ago we had like, anti-thanksgiving
03:35:09 <Nothing\> a new stat holiday they made for the natives
03:35:23 <Nothing\> truth and reconciliation day
03:36:15 <Nothing\> think i'm gonna play some ff2/4
03:36:23 <Nothing\> i'm almost at the end of my first playthrough
03:36:28 <Nothing\> i'd say 2/3 done
03:37:01 <rc-garage> is that part of thanksgiving?
03:37:10 <Nothing\> it's so much harder than the north american version though. a lot more strategy involved in it than just mashing A over and over again
03:37:13 <Nothing\> which i like
03:37:26 <Nothing\> rc: yup, the playing of the final fantasy
03:37:33 <rc-garage> ah
03:37:55 <Nothing\> see the orbs/crystals/whatever represent the indians
03:37:57 <rc-garage> we don't do thanksviving over here. so I guess I can sit here and play solitaire
03:38:05 <Nothing\> and then the bad guys steal the indians
03:38:18 <Nothing\> like the canadian government putting them into residential schools
03:38:41 <Nothing\> and as members of the truth and reconciliation commity, it's your party's job to get them back
03:38:53 <Nothing\> at least taht's the narrative i got out of it
03:39:14 <Nothing\> i don't even know if final fantasy games bothered with crystals or elements after 8 or 9
03:39:25 <Nothing\> actually i don't remember any such thing in 7 either
03:40:14 <Nothing\> i gave up trying to beat 7. I've played it for like 20 years and no matter how close i come to beating it, something always comes up and i lose my playthrough
03:40:33 <Nothing\> last time i made it to like half-way through the 3rd disc and then the damn cops seized my shit
03:40:39 <Nothing\> they took my computers too
03:41:03 Join: Some_Person ([email protected]) to #eevblog
03:41:05 <Nothing\> dunno what they wanted with my shit. Maybe they were gonna make jenkem
03:41:09 <Nothing\> hi Some_Person
03:42:09 <Nothing\> weird, this game on steam updated and now AVG's quarantined it as a virus
03:42:25 <Nothing\> and Ampera said i wouldn't get a virus if i didn't pirate games
03:42:32 <Nothing\> see what you've done, Ampera
03:42:42 <Nothing\> i can't even buy legit games without getting a damn virus
03:42:43 <Ampera> AVG is a virus
03:42:49 <Ampera> as are most antiviruses
03:43:06 <Nothing\> so i should get rid of it?
03:44:02 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
03:44:12 <electrohead> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
03:44:18 <rc-garage> I would not add any antivirus things to a modern windows. it only slows things down, and you get "false positives" and stuff
03:44:34 <Ampera> In general an antivirus is unnecessary so long as you have a security responsible mindset.
03:44:43 <Ampera> You do not, but that doesn't mean an antivirus will save you
03:45:28 <Ampera> Windows is a panic attack waiting to happen no matter what lipstick you put on it
03:45:39 <rc-garage> heh, security responsible mindset... he said, as my bench vise is on fire, lol
03:46:06 <rc-garage> oh well, it will stop
03:46:14 <Ampera> fire is fun
03:46:34 <rc-garage> yes, and not very cold either. it is pretty pretty
03:48:42 <Nothing\> hrm the developer said it could be something in unity causing a spurious error but he was unable to replicate it
03:49:14 <Nothing\> so i'll reinstall and submit the exe to avg as being incorrectly flagged
03:50:01 <Nothing\> lol i remember back in the day when you'd get cracks on BT, or Kazaa way back when
03:50:12 <Nothing\> and they'd set off warning bells for your antivirus
03:50:34 <Nothing\> and all of the comments are just like "yeah that's nothing to worry about, just go ahead and run them"
03:50:52 <Nothing\> for cracks or keygens or whatever
03:51:36 <Nothing\> i can see some triggering a warning since it screws around with other files automously but that's just all sorts of sketchy

04:22:40 * flyback bites rc-garage
04:22:56 * flyback bites Kuschelpony
04:23:15 <flyback> im telling you guys
04:23:24 <flyback> some of my most valiable tools
04:23:27 <rc-garage> mmmh. harder please
04:23:30 <flyback> a) ifixit protech tookit
04:23:44 <flyback> b) pololu prenium dupont connector wires
04:23:48 <flyback> c) usb power meters
04:24:07 <flyback> d) usb hub with power switches on it for debugging shit thru power cycling without wearing out your ports
04:24:12 <flyback> rc-garage, not that kind of bite
04:24:30 <rc-garage> awwww
04:24:48 <flyback> e) cp2104's with the vio/vdd resistor cut off so you can set the i/o voltage
04:25:02 <flyback> usb to serial modules
04:26:23 <flyback> cp2102n's will probably repace the cp2104's since they are discontinues but the offical cp2102 devel board doesn't have vio exposed so you can't set the i/o voltage so I need a 3rd party module
04:27:01 <flyback> b) was defintely worth the $50
04:27:14 <rc-garage> some times, I wish I would be more into nerdy stuff like that
04:27:20 <flyback> I bought like 50 of male-male, male-female, female-female cables
04:27:34 <flyback> they are so much better than the chinese shit you sneeze and the wires fal off
04:27:57 <flyback> e) so many things have hidden serial ports for factory use or more
04:28:00 <flyback> tv's monitors
04:28:01 <flyback> routers
04:28:02 <flyback> cable modems
04:28:05 <flyback> hard drives
04:28:10 <flyback> dildos
04:28:32 <flyback> phones (yes some of them have a switcable headphone jack that doubles as a uart)
04:28:40 <flyback> pinephone is one of them
04:28:51 <flyback> alarm systems, etc
04:29:06 <flyback> ok I dunno if dildos have a serial console, but you get the point :P
04:29:22 <flyback> usb flash drives, ssd's
04:29:37 <rc-garage> always keep your dildos firmware up to date
04:29:47 <flyback> not always sometimes they aren't easily exposed or disabled in the firmware after being programmed but not alway
04:30:08 <flyback> yeah im a guy so I don't plan on owning any dildos
04:30:19 <rc-garage> but they are very handy
04:30:28 <flyback> just saying serial uarts are very prevalent
04:30:42 <flyback> rpi's, orange pi, etc
04:31:01 <flyback> I had to wait 4 months for serial cables to talk to hard drives but it was worth it
04:31:03 <electrohead> o/
04:31:20 <flyback> needed 2.1MM to 2.0MM cables cause the uart is off the tiny sata jumper block on the drive
04:31:28 <rc-garage> yeah, talk to electrohead, he likes that stuff
04:31:57 <electrohead> just not the dildos
04:32:26 <flyback> im trying to see if I can make a generic driver for the chips in these usb to phoneline adaptors I bought off ebay
04:32:31 <rc-garage> they can save you a lot of work...
04:32:32 <flyback> to connect my house to garage
04:32:47 <flyback> the driver they had fro linux was lost with linksys's ftp site
04:33:10 <flyback> but the main controller chip is a chip linux has support for so I Might just have to copy the source kernel module and mangle the id's
04:33:16 <flyback> so the driver finds it
04:33:35 <flyback> else I will use 2 old xp thin clients to bridge between the usb nics and normal ethernet on both ends of the link
04:33:46 <flyback> they are homepna which works on phone wire or less
04:33:55 <flyback> which I happen to have between the house and garage
04:34:17 <flyback> they were popular in the early 2000' for home networks they sucked and did't work that well but for a p2p link it's probably fine
04:34:20 <flyback> 10mbit over phone wire
04:35:08 <rc-garage> heh. is it too much work to just use a normal ethernet cable?
04:35:10 <electrohead> I'm actually about to start playing with the teensy 4.1 and ethernet
04:35:24 <flyback> rc-garage, they are 50-100 feet apart and it's not my house
04:35:27 <electrohead> never used the teensy yet, so it's going to be a slight learning experience, I reckon
04:35:35 <flyback> and wifi doesn't penetrate the garage
04:35:51 <flyback> plus I was just curious if they would work over this old doorbell/phone line
04:36:41 <flyback> in my garage is my tv rotator antenna so I am going to have a orange pi in there running spyserver/rtl-tcp and streaming packets over the link
04:37:21 <flyback> rc-garage, if I could run a new cable i'd do a fiber link
04:37:25 <flyback> if anything
04:38:47 <flyback> the thin clients have xp embedded and should work the only thing I am not sure about is if they stripped out all the xp routing code out of xp embedded images
04:39:14 <flyback> I rather run openwrt on both ends of the link but I can't get that linux driver cause linksys ftp site is gone
04:40:24 <rc-garage> and you can not find something that looks about right on ciscos site?
04:40:40 <flyback> oh well I am only out $20 if they don't work (waiting for the other one to arrive)
04:40:47 <flyback> yeah
04:43:06 <flyback> there might not have been a driver for the usb module, only the pci card and I missed that detail befre I ordered anyways
04:43:55 <flyback> since my thin clients are x86
04:44:03 <flyback> I could use ndiswrapper in linux on openwrt
04:44:39 <flyback> for now I just need to install xp on 2 laptops I own for testing the modules and link
04:44:47 <flyback> and I am not sure I have 2 laptops with a xp licence :/
04:46:50 <rc-garage> get on ebay, and look at pictures of old laptops for sale? some has to have the license in a pic
04:47:00 <hsn> Opaque pointers is a thing
04:50:22 <flyback> no I have like 30 laptops
04:50:29 <flyback> most are buried in storage
04:50:36 <flyback> I found two on hand that have a xp licence
04:50:37 <flyback> so I am good
04:51:41 <flyback> it's just to validate the cards work then I will switch to the thin client xp's

10:08:37 <Nothing\> Some_Person, that almost looks like the place i volunteered at
10:09:17 <Nothing\> we'd take old, derelict, donated computers, assess whether they're worthwhile and then refurbish the ones that were and sell them cheap for good will
10:10:02 <Nothing\> except i stopped working there because to clean the dust out of old computers, they'd just stick us in a small, unventilated room with no masks and use a shop vac set to "blow" to "blow out" the computers
10:10:21 <Nothing\> there'd just be clouds of dust hanging in the air in the whole shop when we did that
10:10:30 <Nothing\> actually, i'm wondering if that's how i became allergic to dust
10:11:38 <Nothing\> because i never used to have a dust allergy and while i haven't been formally tested, i've noticed some indications that i've developed one. Like after cleaning up under my bed where somehow, everything, including the floor, got covered in a thick layer of dust despite my bed being over it. So I was constantly kicking up clouds of dust and breathing it in and getting it all over my face.
10:12:12 <Nothing\> And when I came out, I felt like I had a cold or something. My eyes were water and itchy and burning, my nose was running like crazy, i was coughing and sneezing, all that good fun.
10:12:46 <Nothing\> i was formally tested when i was a young teen but nothing came up on that one. Though I know for a fact I'm allergic to something.
10:13:53 <Nothing\> I had a severe reaction to something a few years ago. No clue what it was but out of nowhere my entire body started itching soooo bad. Worse itch I've ever had in my life. And this is coming from a pain killer addict, where those will make you feel so itchy you'll literally scratch yourself bloody.
10:14:17 <Nothing\> i had to sit in a cold shower to deal with the itch, and noticed i was covered in hives head to foot.
10:15:07 <Nothing\> so i sent my mom to get me some benedryl asap while i laid in the shower and scratching myself with a pumice stone. within about 15-20 minutes of taking the benedryl the symptoms started letting up and were gone within the hour. Thank god.
10:15:35 <Nothing\> but it scares me that i don't know what caused it. Because that's the sort of reaction where anaphylaxis could happen the next time.
10:16:15 <Nothing\> actually i should call my doctor about an allergy test. Though with these stomach problems i'm pretty much confined to my house.
10:17:00 <Nothing\> anyways Some_Person i wish i could find cool stuff like that at good will.
10:17:09 <Nothing\> I still can't even find any toys to circuitbend
10:17:27 <Nothing\> and i've been looking for at least 2 years. Admittedly not very hard. but still.
10:17:54 <Nothing\> I could see circuitbending that DJ board thing into something fun
10:22:05 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
10:22:11 <Ampera> how are you doing nowhere man?
10:22:41 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera
10:22:45 <Nothing\> oh you know
10:22:50 <Nothing\> different shit, different day
10:22:57 <Nothing\> you know, literally different shit
10:23:11 <Nothing\> but still cramping somehow
10:23:27 <Nothing\> i missed thanskgviing
10:23:56 <Nothing\> then again as i said, i wasn't looking forward to it once i realized the real reason behind it
10:24:02 <Ampera> you didn't miss much
10:24:09 <Nothing\> no, probably not
10:24:21 <Nothing\> just my cousins all hanging out with their families
10:24:36 <Nothing\> and no more than 5 minutes of pleasantries with each cousin
10:24:55 <Nothing\> which they could just as easily do on facebook but can't even be bothered to
10:25:45 <Nothing\> i wrote my one cousin's wife a nice heartfelt thank you because she's the one who took in our cats and helped us adopt them and she didn't even bother replying
10:26:22 <Nothing\> likewise i wrote my cousin a nice message about what a great father hewas in reply to something he posted about his kids and how he learned from a great man (his dad) etc etc
10:26:26 <Nothing\> again, no reply
10:26:45 <Nothing\> though my uncle told my mom he really appreciated it 3 months after the fact
10:27:03 <Nothing\> but i mean, this is why i wonder why i should even bother
10:27:30 <Nothing\> why be nice when people don't seem to give a shit enough to take 2 seconds out of their lives to just say a simple "thank you"
10:27:36 <Nothing\> or even fucking click "like" ffs
10:27:53 <Nothing\> or how about do me the respect of actually replying when i talk to you
10:28:13 <Nothing\> what would they do irl? just stand there like a moron staring blankly into space?
10:28:50 <Nothing\> no, Ampera i realized a sad sad fact actually just a few hours ago
10:29:09 <Ampera> Happiness is ultimately unobtainable in life?
10:29:24 <Ampera> about time you got caught up to that one
10:29:59 <Nothing\> i'm sure i've made it clear to you how much i miss my childhood family christmases. You know, the classic German/European family christmas get together or not even that. Even just the regular family get togethers we had at my Grandparents' house.
10:30:43 <Nothing\> But when they had to move, nobody else bothered taking over the role because well, my brother doesn't care, i'm too mentally ill and my place isn't big enough, and none of the other family cares
10:30:53 <Nothing\> as i've made abundantly clear
10:31:18 <Nothing\> i mean my aunt and uncle, i'll give them credit. They said my mum and i can visit any time and are very good like that.
10:31:44 <Nothing\> but i realized, that childhood family i used to love spending christmas with
10:31:50 <Nothing\> they all died years ago
10:31:54 <Nothing\> some of them literally
10:32:14 <Nothing\> the rest died when they got married, and even more so when they had kids.
10:32:17 * electrohead lights random things on fire
10:32:31 <Nothing\> electrohead, i still need to make an effigy to my ex
10:32:46 <Nothing\> i feel it would be cathartic
10:32:50 <electrohead> ?
10:32:52 <Nothing\> unfortunately i have nowhere to burn it now
10:33:10 <Nothing\> electrohead, a likeness whose only purpose is to be immolated
10:33:58 <Nothing\> usually something like a scarecrow. Stuffed with hay or straw
10:34:28 <Ampera> I like burning things
10:34:32 <Ampera> I was playing with matches earlier
10:34:35 <Ampera> the safest of hobbies

10:55:37 <EEVBot> [Title] - Electric puzzle action game ElecHead releases October 14 - AUTOMATON WEST
10:55:41 <Nothing\> :P
10:56:19 <Nothing\> i dunno what the game's about. I just saw the title in a recommended article before i clicked off of this site i was on.
10:56:30 <Nothing\> couldn't help but think of you
10:56:51 <electrohead> lol
10:56:53 <electrohead> it looks fun
10:56:55 <electrohead> :p
10:57:02 <Nothing\> it does look kind of interesting
10:57:18 <Nothing\> just from the screen shots it sorta reminds me of donkey kong jr
10:58:26 <Nothing\> man i remember way back in the day, like 10-15 years ago i saw an article about this puzzle game where you manipulate things in 4 spatial dimensions to solve the puzzles
10:58:58 <Nothing\> miegakure, that's it
10:59:08 <Nothing\> i was sooo excited for it. It looked so cool.
10:59:13 <Nothing\> still waiting for it
10:59:26 <Nothing\> though really i gave up waiting 5 years ago
10:59:57 <Nothing\> i've decided it's just not coming. But oloking at the site for the game, this demo looks like it has graphics much newer than 10 years old
11:00:24 <Nothing\> it's definitely not the same isometric top-down platformer i remember it as
11:01:25 <Nothing\> i had a brief phase where i was interested in games to do with 4 spatial dimensions. There's a convenient list of them on wikipedia.
11:02:58 <Nothing\> What i'd really love is a game like an FPS version of the movie Cube, minus the death traps. Where you basically just have to navigate your way through a 4 dimensional maze. Maybe with controls/gameplay mechanics not unlike descent, where you can freely navigate all 4 dimensions without gravity or any up/down orientation
11:04:13 <Nothing\> for example you could go into a room where all of the doors are locked and there are no switches or anything. And you have to move through the 4th dimension into the room that does have the switch
11:05:23 <Nothing\> I bought this 4D toys game which is just what it sounds like. A bunch of toys and shapes and stuff you can play with in 4 dimensions. But I found the controls were awkward and it was kinda bland and pointless.
11:05:44 <Nothing\> It's like "yeah, they're shapes. And it's 4D. That's cool and all, but... now what?"
11:06:50 <Nothing\> huh
11:07:01 <Nothing\> 4D minesweeper free to play on Steam
11:07:18 <Nothing\> I have fond memories of playing a 4D version of Tetris
11:08:46 <Nothing\> oooh a nice looking 4D maze game
11:10:11 <Nothing\> hrm, 5D chess
11:10:29 <Nothing\> i think it's hard enough in 2 dimensions
11:10:47 <Nothing\> well, 3, since the 4D counts time
11:15:34 <Nothing\> welp, i guess i'd best stop putting off this dungeon in ff2/4
11:15:51 <Nothing\> a whopping 13 floors
11:16:05 <Nothing\> oh btw, does anyone know what date the US's debt is due by?
11:16:31 <Nothing\> i heard it's due soon and unless they can come up with $1 trillion, they're not getting an extension this time. But I didn't get a date.
11:17:02 <Nothing\> seems like just yesterday it was $17 trillion and they were asking for an extension
11:17:46 <Nothing\> but if you look at the US debt clock, it's no wonder with how fast it's going up. You can just sit there and watch the millions tick away.
11:23:00 <Nothing\> waffle waffle waffle
12:00:16 <Nothing\> hey, anyone know a site where i can upload a bunch of images into a single album. Sorta like what you can do on Facebook. Only, I'd prefer it if you didn't need an account.
12:01:03 <Nothing\> i found a crapton of fossils the other day and have a bunchof pictures of them i'd like to upload into one tidy folder. Maybe i could toss em on my google drive. I'm guessing I could just make it public or somehing.
12:17:46 <Nothing\> le sigh
12:18:01 <Nothing\> aren't you guys a buncha party animals
12:18:30 <steve30> o/
12:18:42 <Nothing\> ah signs of life
12:18:47 <Nothing\> hey steve
12:19:45 <Nothing\> damn cat just decided to use my stairs like a jungle gym
12:20:01 <Nothing\> meanwhile there's a 20 foot fall if she slips or misses
12:20:31 <steve30> cats are usually quite good at falling. Don't know what the limit is though
12:20:39 <Nothing\> i hate it when she does that. And she has slipped a few times. Only to just barely grab the carpet with her claws and pull herself up
12:21:00 <Nothing\> yeah but this is a fall onto another set of stairs, so it's not like it's a flat landing
12:21:05 <Nothing\> otherwise i wouldn't worry so much
12:21:18 <Nothing\> plus she could potentially fall down the second set if she lands wrong
12:21:32 <Nothing\> but yeah i've heard of cats surviving insane falls
12:23:13 <Nothing\> there's a russian vlogger i watch once in a while who was talking about how his cat went missing for 3 days and it turned out she jumped out of his 4th storey window, and one of his neighbours found her and took her to the vet. And the vet recognized her because he happened to have taken her in just a few weeks earlier.
12:24:04 <Nothing\> she musta been injured somehow if the neighbour saw fit to take the cat to the vet. I don't believe the neighbour actually saw the cat fall, otherwise they could just go return the cat to the apartment they saw her fall from.
12:24:49 <Nothing\> i forget the exact story. It was a few months ago.
12:25:12 <Nothing\> Or I remember hearing stories of cats falling 9, 10 storeys and suffering only minor injuries
12:25:59 * T3sl4 noogies Nothing\
12:26:01 <Nothing\> and once you're past 50 feet, you've pretty well reached terminal velocity. So it's not like you're gonna get hurt any worse.
12:26:09 * Nothing\ moogles T3sl4
12:26:14 <Nothing\> :P
12:26:22 <T3sl4> is that your final fantasy?
12:26:34 <Nothing\> lol actually they weren't in this one yet
12:26:39 <Nothing\> i dunno if they were in 5 or not
12:27:01 <Nothing\> i was just trying to figure out the other day which one was the first one they were in
12:27:29 <Nothing\> but i only playde a couple of hours of 5 so i'm not 100% on that
12:27:33 * T3sl4 takes Nothing\ skydiving https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN0jFOynzUY
12:27:56 <Nothing\> i used to always want to go skydiving until i realized i'm afraid of heights
12:27:58 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - Either there is a REALLY BAD new variant out there, or someone entered the wrong data... https://t.co/qYKFvXDErc
12:28:27 <T3sl4> with all your mental issues you'd probably fall asleep midair doing it now
12:28:29 <T3sl4> or something idk
12:28:36 <Nothing\> haha yeah
12:29:24 <steve30> skydiving sounds fun
12:29:39 <Nothing\> actually i was telling my mom today one goal i have is by next summer, hopefully with covid more under control, I wanna do this thing the airport where i used to live offered where for $100 they'd take you up in a cessna and let you fly for 30 minutes
12:30:19 <Nothing\> steve30, it does but if you've ever fallen more than a foot, where you get that feeling of your stomach going up into your throat. I figure falling feels like that constantly.
12:30:32 <T3sl4> basically just sign up for piloting lessons but without all the homework and plural lesson
12:30:42 <Nothing\> But the more I think about it, the more I wonder if the feeling would go away once you stop accellerating
12:30:52 <Nothing\> T3sl4, exactly
12:31:20 <Nothing\> and i know for a couple hundred they'll take you on a flying tour of the area for a couple of hours
12:31:49 <Nothing\> which i figure is cheaper than a helicopter tour, but not as terrifying as a hot air balloon
12:32:01 <Nothing\> no way in hell would you get me up in a hot air balloon
12:33:05 <Nothing\> anything where one errant thought/move would mean my almost certain demise just scares me
12:34:38 <Nothing\> lol
12:34:41 <Nothing\> speaking of which

12:34:44 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: Civilian Pilot Lands at Military Base | ATC vs Pilot
12:34:55 <T3sl4> i clocked about 40 hours in a small craft with this cool free lessons for teens thing they did once in my hometown
12:34:55 <Nothing\> you ever watch this channel, T3sl4? you'd like it.
12:35:00 <Nothing\> 74 pilot
12:35:14 * steve30 wonders whether to have more food
12:35:15 <T3sl4> i didn't solo unfortunately, but it was neat
12:35:23 <Nothing\> er 74 gear
12:35:24 <Nothing\> sorry
12:35:41 <Nothing\> that's pretty awesome T3sl4
12:35:49 <Nothing\> i've always wanted to get my private liscence
12:35:53 <Nothing\> but it's expensive
12:36:08 <T3sl4> the coolest thing we did was, one day it was reasonably windy, so the instructor took control, took us down to a few knots above stall, pointed the noise into the wind, and we sat there, laid back in our seats from the high angle of attack, and just kinda chilled at zero ground speed
12:36:32 <Nothing\> hah that's cool
12:36:37 <T3sl4> the other thing is practicing stalls, powered or unpowered, fun stuff
12:36:49 <Nothing\> but with no ground speed conceivably that would mean no airflow over the wings
12:36:55 <Nothing\> which would mean no lift, would it not?
12:37:10 <Nothing\> come to think of it, that's the exact definition of a stall
12:37:11 <Nothing\> lol
12:37:47 <T3sl4> i said "reasonably windy"
12:37:58 <Nothing\> ah that's what crossed my mind after i typed it
12:38:04 <T3sl4> forget what the exact specs were on that plane, stall might've been 40 or 50 kt
12:38:04 <Nothing\> maybe there was a heavy head wind
12:38:10 <T3sl4> it was the same wind at altitude
12:38:31 <Nothing\> i have a cessna 172 somesort of model flight manual
12:38:40 <Nothing\> but damned if i'm digging through it to find the stall speed
12:39:10 <Nothing\> it's cool though, in the flight manuals for planes they have sections that read almost exactly like the datasheet for an electronic component
12:39:36 <Nothing\> with all of the operating limits and maximum limits and stuff like that
12:40:17 <Nothing\> i got a few aircraft flight/owners manuals or what have you just for fun
12:40:19 <T3sl4> ya
12:40:24 <T3sl4> they're well described, and rightfully so
12:40:35 <Nothing\> cessna 172something as i said, a320 and one other i can't remember
12:40:46 <Nothing\> a380 maybe
12:40:49 <Nothing\> knowing me
12:41:44 <Nothing\> ah, some obscure glider and a 747-400
12:41:47 <T3sl4> and like a computer program, commercial and military craft can have so many nasty edge cases that, let alone specifying them in a datasheet, just understanding all the dynamics in real time is impractical, and they write flight control software (hopefully not of the buggy sort like most computer programs, obviously!) to deal with it
12:41:58 <Nothing\> and it's a 172S
12:42:16 <Nothing\> and for some reason i have the DSM-V in here
12:42:28 <Nothing\> even though it's a folder for aeronautical engineering stuff
12:43:37 <Nothing\> you play the new remake for diablo 2, T3sl4?
12:43:46 <Nothing\> diablo 2: ressurrected
12:46:20 <Nothing\> it seems fun from what i've played so far, but there are a few annoyances from the original game that they didn't take care of which they easily could have. Like when buying a piece of equipment, they should have had a window to compare it with what you have equipped, which they DO have, but you have to hold a button to make it appear.
12:52:57 <T3sl4> shrug, i never played it
12:55:06 <T3sl4> oh here it is, one of the planes i was in back then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_PA-28_Cherokee

14:48:44 <Nothing\> man this book on mushrooms of the area is really neat
14:48:52 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
14:48:56 <Ampera> how are you doing friend guy
14:48:58 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera <3
14:49:02 <T3sl4> oh fuck i thought you got into psilocybin for a few words there
14:49:06 <Nothing\> i'm doing really well, how about you?
14:49:18 <Nothing\> T3sl4, lol no but it actually does list a few of those
14:49:22 <Ampera> I just spent a good couple hours installing debian q.q
14:49:29 <Nothing\> and some psychotropic amanitas
14:49:32 <T3sl4> psilocybes are evenly distributed tbf
14:49:43 <Ampera> this is what happens when you have automated installers that make plenty of assumptions
14:49:43 <Nothing\> you know, the red ones with white spots you see in super mario bros
14:49:46 <T3sl4> debian does Ampera?
14:50:23 <Ampera> but, it's installed, and now I have a linux VM I can use for game hosting
14:50:24 <Nothing\> T3sl4, but yeah it takes a lot of serious work and training to be able to safely identify mushrooms for consumption. Even the psychotropic kind
14:50:32 <T3sl4> well yeah, though except for these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_caesarea
14:50:34 <EEVBot> [Title] - Amanita caesarea - Wikipedia
14:50:43 <Ampera> now to figure out how to make decades old unpatched network software safe enough to where my entire network won't get shit on if I use it
14:50:49 <Nothing\> especially if you're picking amanitas. There are many species of amanita that are poisonous
14:51:14 <Ampera> as I am well concerned that dedicated server software for things like UT99 have to have a few known and unpatched RCE exploits in them
14:51:19 <Nothing\> which is why i'm glad this book discourages picking mushrooms for eating, aside from a few select mushrooms it says are hard to mix up with other ones
14:51:31 <Nothing\> interestingly, one of them appears to be growing in my front yard
14:51:33 <Ampera> I'll probably just use /very/ strict firewalling
14:51:38 * T3sl4 puffballs Nothing\
14:52:01 <Nothing\> but i don't like the taste of mushrooms, especially not enough to risk hepatotoxicity
14:52:14 <Nothing\> which is exceedingly painful as far as ways to die go
14:52:25 <Ampera> I love mushrooms
14:52:29 <Nothing\> T3sl4, heh yeah i'ts got a section on puffballs too
14:52:35 <Nothing\> and a section on slime molds
14:52:51 <T3sl4> can't say i'd enjoy cirrhosis
14:52:56 * T3sl4 sips on a cocktail
14:52:57 <Nothing\> Ampera, actually i like them sometimes when they're cooked right
14:53:05 <Ampera> it's weird, almost all my food is generally non-perishable, as in it can sit on a shelf or in the fridge for months and be fine
14:53:08 <Ampera> except mushrooms
14:53:14 <Nothing\> like fried white buttons on a steak are good as hell
14:53:21 <Nothing\> or deep fried white buttons
14:53:26 <Ampera> I only go shopping once a month, so fresh food is not something I typically have
14:53:36 <Nothing\> i love the way you bite into them and your mouth just floods with oil
14:54:40 <T3sl4> they're very porous
14:55:03 <Nothing\> heh
14:55:19 <Nothing\> there was anothore book on edible flowers i'm gonna go back and get this week
14:55:37 <Nothing\> well, plants not just flowers
14:55:49 <T3sl4> i should go to the park again and gather more walnuts. they're dropping prodigiously right now
14:55:53 <Nothing\> but any such guides i found online were woefully inept and/or just awkward to navigate
14:55:59 <Nothing\> like the one just gave a list of names
14:56:12 <T3sl4> but then, black walnuts are a terrible pain to shell, so i kinda don't care to. i haven't even shelled what i gathered last month
14:56:24 <Nothing\> so you'd have to click them one by one and go through them to try and find a picture of what you're looking for
14:56:56 <Nothing\> T3sl4, i just gathered a bunch of black walnuts for the squirrels
14:57:06 <Nothing\> i'd love to steal the tree for the lumber
14:57:19 <Ampera> I don't feel like sleeping tonight
14:57:23 <Nothing\> that tree could pay my rent for a year
14:57:53 <T3sl4> Ampera: sleep with me
14:58:03 <T3sl4> ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
14:59:16 <Nothing\> welp so far so good on this playthrough of ff4
14:59:37 <Nothing\> i haven't screwed up any of the things in my playthrough that can ruin an entire playthrough
14:59:58 <Nothing\> thank god for the internet
15:00:23 <Nothing\> speaking of games, you guys ever get that remake of diablo 2?
15:00:36 <Nothing\> it seems like everyone i ask didn't bother
15:00:56 <Nothing\> even though it wasn't badly priced at $55
15:01:57 <Nothing\> And I'm saving up now to buy the new Metroid game on the Switch at the end of the month
15:02:13 <Nothing\> even though it's $90+ after taxes and exchange rate
15:02:26 <T3sl4> which looks pretty good, i follow a few speedrunners that are maining it rn
15:03:03 <Nothing\> i've actually been kinda curious to buy one of the pokemon games on Switch. I can't say there was ever a pokemon game i didn't like even though it's after my time.
15:03:22 <Nothing\> At least in the main series. I could do without pokemon snap and all that rubbish.
15:03:32 <Nothing\> T3sl4, diablo?
15:03:45 <T3sl4> metroid
15:03:53 <Nothing\> it's out already?
15:04:00 <Nothing\> or is this the 3DS one?
15:04:19 <Nothing\> i thought it wasn't out until the end of the month, but that's what i thought about diablo as well
15:04:43 <Nothing\> oh i'll be damned
15:04:47 <Nothing\> october 8t
15:04:48 <Nothing\> h
15:04:55 <T3sl4> i know at least one bought it in australia because early release but ye
15:04:55 <Nothing\> son of a bitch, i coulda bought it
15:05:23 <T3sl4> Ampera: https://i.imgur.com/gDMSVMC.png
15:05:42 <Nothing\> ah well i'm fine waiting until november to get metroid
15:06:04 <Nothing\> i'm still playing through final fantasy 4 ds
15:06:09 * Ampera burns T3sl4 in a pool of mold while farting at him with a cricket bat to the forehead
15:07:10 <T3sl4> :confuse:
15:07:27 <Ampera> now you know how I feel in life
15:07:38 * T3sl4 nods, hugs and kisses Ampera
15:07:55 <DHess_US> 101.3 fever :/
15:08:20 <T3sl4> vax?
15:08:33 <DHess_US> I am, but months ago
15:08:41 <T3sl4> wait, that doesn't usually fever much, right
15:08:51 <DHess_US> Had a 101 fever from the 2nd vacination also.
15:09:10 <T3sl4> oh, also good to know, i recall you mentioned OK was being shite as usual with vax
15:09:18 <T3sl4> so yeah, that's not great :/
15:09:18 <DHess_US> No, if a vaccination works, then it should generally result in a fever.
15:09:48 <DHess_US> Been sick for like 4 days now, and fever started today.
15:10:35 <T3sl4> hm, i forget how that varies between person, or with age. i didn't get a fever with my vax, and i don't think i've had much of a temp really ever, except for just a couple of cases
15:10:54 <T3sl4> if that's more common with older, that'd be normal then..?
15:11:14 <DHess_US> It isn't real clear. I haven't seen it broken down that far.
15:11:21 <DHess_US> MIght be just a cold.
15:11:35 <T3sl4> well, colds don't fever either... seasonal flu could tho?
15:11:47 <DHess_US> Huh? Sure they do.
15:11:56 <T3sl4> well, again not usually
15:12:08 <Nothing\> yeesh i think i overdid it on the leveling in ff4. this guide recommends lvl 34 for this section, and I'm at lvl 50
15:12:18 <DHess_US> I don't think it is strep or the flu, but could be a cold.
15:12:21 <Nothing\> at leeast i won't have to worry about it for a bit
15:12:50 <Nothing\> i haven't had flu since summer of 99 somehow
15:13:13 <Nothing\> i just know i did thai bo for shits and giggles with my friend, then i get flu
15:13:20 <DHess_US> There was a guy at the supermarket coughing a couple days before I got sick.
15:13:26 <T3sl4> :/
15:13:47 <Nothing\> then he introduced me to his gf's friend and we made out and dry humped for 3 hours
15:13:58 <Nothing\> (was 14 at the time)
15:14:32 <T3sl4> ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
15:14:45 <Nothing\> i kinda miss her cuz she was smokin hot and real easy.
15:15:15 <Nothing\> not much good as an actual GF of any value. but as a trophy gf for a horny teenager, she was perfect.
15:15:56 <Nothing\> rofl i remember the one time taking the bus to see her and i took my friend along and the whole way home on the bus i was trying to get him to smell my fingers
15:16:10 <T3sl4> you bunghole
15:16:18 <Nothing\> hahaha i thought i was cool
15:16:33 <Nothing\> i mean i went from never having a gf to losing my virginity in a month
15:16:58 <Nothing\> which for a 14 year old who only cares about how others see him is amazing
15:17:06 <steve30> lucky sod
15:17:14 <steve30> I didn't even have my first kiss till i was 22
15:17:14 <Nothing\> steve30, nah
15:17:20 * T3sl4 puts steve30 in the same room with a female
15:17:26 <Nothing\> only reason she slept with me was cuz she blew my best friend
15:17:27 <steve30> 0.o
15:17:35 <T3sl4> ....she's also a crazy cat lady
15:17:44 <Nothing\> and truth be told, i was so green i didn't even get it in the hole
15:17:49 <Nothing\> so i'm not even sure it counts
15:18:00 <Nothing\> as there was technically no penetration
15:18:08 <T3sl4> you mormon
15:18:21 <Nothing\> for what it's worth though steve30 i've been celibate now for 15 years
15:18:26 <steve30> I wonder when T3sl4 had his 'first time'
15:18:35 <T3sl4> college
15:18:39 <Nothing\> ever since the first and only gf i had after my wife left me
15:18:46 <Nothing\> and he was NOT attractive
15:19:09 <Nothing\> much as i'dhate to judge a woman on looks. Looks absolutely do matter in a relationship.
15:19:26 <Nothing\> if you're not attracted to somebody, how can you be expected to have a health relationship?
15:19:38 <T3sl4> there are many kinds of attraction
15:19:44 <T3sl4> if you're that superficial, well, yeah
15:19:59 <Nothing\> it's not like you can train yourself to become attracted to somebody physically, and if you have to do that and she found out i don't think she'd feel very good about it.
15:20:02 <Nothing\> on any level
15:22:21 <T3sl4> there's that 4chan copypasta of a guy saying he trained himself to like gay porn but insisting he's not gay
15:22:49 <T3sl4> given that's two or three very dubious things, but brains are weirder
15:23:47 <Nothing\> i guess that's possible
15:24:02 <Nothing\> but it raises an interesting dilema of whether it's actually gay or not
15:24:15 <Nothing\> but likewise, there's more to a relationship than physical attraction
15:24:57 <Nothing\> so i think if he's not full of shit, he'd have to "train" himself a lotmore thoroughly to find men attractive on many other levels.
15:25:50 <T3sl4> it's not hard to find men attractive
15:26:03 <T3sl4> even if you're "super straight", you have to be able to judge your rivals
15:26:24 <Nothing\> plus that sick sex doctor, i forget his name but he used all of those diaries and reporting from active pedophiles. But he found homosexuality is more of a continuum than a binary matter
15:27:06 <Nothing\> lol actually i "came out" to my mum yesterday
15:27:16 <Nothing\> as in, i told her i experimented a few times in the past
15:27:21 <Nothing\> but it wasn't for me
15:28:15 <Nothing\> hrm i just rememembered those times i experimented as a kid with my cousin, or a boy down the street when we were 5 or 6 and getting caugh by my mom
15:28:30 <Nothing\> i sure hope she doesn't remember that now that i said that.
15:28:56 <Nothing\> the cousin thing's just weird but i'm pretty sure every kid goes through a phase like that
15:29:09 <T3sl4> before puberty i don't know that it really matters
15:29:09 <Nothing\> it just depends who's around at the time
15:29:31 * steve30 thinks T3sl4 has a soft spot for cute guys :p
15:29:37 <Nothing\> T3sl4, well there was at least one instance where i wonder if she was abused
15:29:51 <Nothing\> i think that matters
15:29:58 <T3sl4> yes, the problem comes if it's not just kids being kids
15:29:59 <Nothing\> but maybe i'm just thinking about it too much
15:30:13 <Nothing\> and i'm hardly an expert in such matters
15:30:21 * T3sl4 wonders if steve30 wonders if he thinks he's cute
15:31:02 * steve30 thinks T3sl4 is cute
15:31:11 <T3sl4> :3
15:31:31 <steve30> And we /know/ Halcyon fancies you :p
15:31:41 <T3sl4> yeah, but he'll hump anything that moves
15:31:42 * Ampera pets steve30
15:31:55 <Ampera> he's been known to hump stuff that doesn't too
15:31:59 <Nothing\> T3sl4, even your own penis?
15:32:32 <T3sl4> depends, does it move?
15:32:38 <T3sl4> oh, there it goes
15:32:46 <Nothing\> weell i dunno about you guys
15:32:52 <Nothing\> but i can consciously move my penis

15:34:01 <Nothing\> man it's too bad nobody ever made a fan fiction film of final fantasy 4 or 6 or 7
15:34:26 <Nothing\> there was a really well done fan fiction film of mega man 1 that was a combination of live action and CG
15:34:35 <Nothing\> made maybe 5-10 years ago
15:35:51 <Nothing\> ffs the coil on my ecig isn't making good contact with the battery
15:36:02 <Nothing\> i hate fighting with this every time i change the coil
15:36:21 <Nothing\> also my cat's being a dildo
15:36:49 <Nothing\> he won't stop trilling and katterwalling and running around crazily
15:37:42 <Nothing\> alright guess it's time to start trying to relax before bed

15:56:13 <Halcyon> Hey buddy :)
15:56:18 <Ampera> how are you doing
15:56:19 <steve30> hehe
15:56:24 <Halcyon> I just installed my new Ubiquti U6-LR access points

15:56:37 <steve30> Halcyon, have you seen the latest Odysteve? It features a cute guy :p
15:56:51 <Ampera> damn son
15:56:56 <Ampera> I need to buy one
15:56:56 <steve30> That sounds pretty quick for wireless
15:57:06 <Halcyon> I have not, but love the name ODYSTEVE :P

15:57:38 <Ampera> 180 bucks
15:57:42 <Ampera> ok maybe I don't need to buy one
15:57:44 <Halcyon> Hey T3sticuli
15:57:55 <Ampera> I forget, what's the difference between the LR and the lite?
15:58:14 <Halcyon> Off top of my head, I think x2 MIMO vs x4
15:58:17 <Halcyon> Slightly faster CPU
15:58:21 <Ampera> right
15:58:28 <Halcyon> And a higher gain antenna I think
15:58:41 <Ampera> I'll get the LR at some point, though the extra speed will be mildly useless on a gigabit link
15:58:41 <Halcyon> The physical size of the lite is also smaller I think, or maybe that's the Nano?
15:58:52 <Ampera> presumably it can then also maintain gigabit at a farther distance
15:59:01 <Halcyon> Haha love it Steve
15:59:03 <T3sl4> Halcyon: actually, i'm the ancient greek warrior, Testicles
15:59:05 <Halcyon> And you're right, he's cute :P
15:59:12 <Ampera> in other news I am doing firewall things
15:59:31 <Halcyon> The audio is quite nice Steve
16:00:06 <Ampera> since I'm going to be running game servers that are 20 years old and haven't been patched in a depressing amount of time, I'm making sure that my game VM can't be too easily used to fuck my network
16:00:25 <Halcyon> You're quite good in front of the camera Steve
16:00:30 <steve30> The microphone is nice, but the power supply i was using has bad connections and no shielding so it introduces noise
16:00:44 <Halcyon> Yeh and there was a bit of a crackly bit

16:01:55 <EEVBot> [Title] - 12" Mr Bean and Bear Twin Pack Soft Toy Brand New | eBay
16:02:08 <Ampera> I am trying to make running 20 year old unpatched networking software less of a suicide mission
16:02:28 <Halcyon> You need to do a BDSM version of your teardowns
16:02:34 <Halcyon> Combine sexy with tech
16:02:40 <Halcyon> Sorry, mailbag
16:02:57 <Halcyon> You could call the segment "Ballocks" for obvious reasons :P
16:03:08 <T3sl4> or a black beret would be a good compliment to the black sweatshirt/pants combo, go full arthouse style
16:03:16 <Halcyon> Agreed T3sl4
16:03:47 <steve30> hmm, sex toy unboxing
16:03:55 <Halcyon> Doesn't have to be a sex toy
16:04:13 <T3sl4> anything's a sextoy if you're brave enough
16:04:19 <Halcyon> Just a normal mailbag, except you're dressed in skimpy outfits that leave little to the imagination
16:04:25 <Halcyon> Other than that, a totally normal mailbag :P
16:04:41 <T3sl4> an almost-nude-save-for-jockstrap unboxing?
16:04:49 <Halcyon> Yeh that kind of thing
16:04:51 * steve30 should get some new speedos
16:04:55 <Halcyon> "Sexy mailbag"
16:05:13 <T3sl4> i mean there's that couple of shows/countries that do sexy news
16:05:21 <T3sl4> or, *cough*, sexy...kids shows?
16:05:22 <Halcyon> I think I used eSATA once steve30
16:05:41 <Halcyon> It was one of those things that fizzled out owing to USB speeds
16:05:59 <Ampera> now that I've played with pf here, I have no doubts I can set up my own router from scratch
16:06:10 * Halcyon gives Ampera a scratch
16:06:18 <T3sl4> me-ow
16:06:25 <Ampera> also, now that I'm using pf anyways, I can replace all my FreeBSD VMs with jails
16:06:44 <Ampera> which should really make things more efficient, since I no longer will have to allocate ZFS volume and can use datasets instead
16:06:49 <Ampera> and you know, not eating entire CPU cores :P
16:07:03 <Ampera> but I can still have bhyve around for linux things
16:09:00 <Halcyon> Gah, the only annoying things about using 160 MHz wide 5 GHz channels is there are only 2 non-overlapping ones
16:09:13 <Halcyon> And 1 of them is subject to DFS
16:10:02 <steve30> Halcyon, i uploaded some pictures to my fetlife.com profile the other day :p
16:10:13 <Ampera> fetlife, insurance for gimps
16:10:31 <Halcyon> Link me Steve?
16:12:30 <steve30> https://fetlife.com/users/8818371/pictures/117425419
16:16:00 <Halcyon> Dammit, you need an account
16:16:26 <steve30> :p
16:16:52 <Halcyon> You could just upload them to your server :P
16:17:15 <steve30> I /could/, but i'm going to bed as i'm sleepy
16:17:20 <T3sl4> Halcyon, these are the only flesh pictures you need https://i.imgur.com/Bal15NG.jpg
16:17:33 <Halcyon> Hahahahaa
16:17:35 <Halcyon> Love it!
16:19:05 * T3sl4 doots at Halcyon
16:19:29 <Halcyon> Hah
16:20:37 <T3sl4> i wonder if my fedex finally comes tomorrow
16:20:47 <T3sl4> it's finally showing in the local depot, so probably
16:24:26 <Halcyon> What did you order?
16:24:43 <T3sl4> just stuff a client is shipping
16:25:00 <T3sl4> another one UPS'd something that arrived yesterday
17:39:11 <Ampera> Jails are working really well
17:39:18 <Ysjoelfir> mornings
17:39:25 <Ampera> hi Ysjoelfir
17:41:26 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, I'll let you know when, but I'm going to have to take the znc offline for a small little bit, as I'm migrating the VM it's on into a FreeBSD jail
17:43:14 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - Australia Has Fallen by @Thebuttsmarn https://t.co/nWirEKFNAs
17:44:27 <Ampera> I'm also eventually (probably not today) going to be slightly changing how it and the management panel is connected to
17:51:29 * Halcyon licks Ampera
17:51:35 * Ampera hugs Halcyon
17:51:36 <Ampera> how are you
17:51:42 <Halcyon> I'm OK, how are you?
17:51:59 <Ampera> I am loving Jails
17:52:11 <Ysjoelfir> Ampera, thats fine :) I will probably notice when I can't log in anymore xD
17:52:24 <Ampera> it's freeing me from the tyranny of VMs
17:52:42 <Ysjoelfir> But if you want you can send me a whatsapp or telegram thingy or the other one Halcyon uses to notify me :)
17:52:59 <Ampera> it'll be down for like 30 minutes
17:52:59 <Ampera> so
17:53:00 <Halcyon> I will say this, we spell Jail as "Jail"... not the weird way the UK guys do
17:53:09 <Halcyon> That's one thing you and I can agree on
17:53:12 <Ampera> huh?
17:53:24 <Halcyon> The UK spell is "Gaol"
17:53:31 <Halcyon> *it
17:53:45 <Ampera> Wikipedia states that's a dated/antiquated use
17:53:50 <Halcyon> Yes
17:53:51 <Halcyon> Yes it is
17:53:54 <Ampera> which explains why I've never seen a person from the UK say it
17:54:10 <Halcyon> Some old people here still spell it the old way
17:54:40 <Ampera> Well that's a strong case for legal geriatricide
17:54:44 <Halcyon> :P
17:56:31 <Ampera> What's really nice about jails is I no longer have to allocate whole cores
17:56:35 <Ampera> everything can share threads
17:58:34 <Ysjoelfir> lol ok, then I probably wont even notice anyway xD
17:59:18 <Ampera> performance will be better too
17:59:39 <Ampera> everything will also be ZFS now, and I can unify control of datasets, so backups can simply done from one place
17:59:50 <Ampera> no overhead of running multiple instances of ZFS too
18:02:03 <Halcyon> I love ZFS
18:02:19 <Ampera> I love FreeBSD
18:02:25 <Halcyon> I love you
18:02:25 <Ampera> it's the best OS ever
18:02:31 <Ampera> I love you too
18:02:34 <Ampera> begrudgingly
18:02:40 <Ampera> until you release my family
18:07:52 <Ysjoelfir> Hm.... speaking of data stuff.... You might remember that I got "a few" Harddisks from mr. employer. I am slowly preparing to build my NAS now. recently I learned that my raid controller isnt a raid controller actually, as the workload is done by the CPU, yay. Thanks, mr.... erm... who was is... can't remember, someone here in the channel. :P So.... I wonder, is there any benefit to get a "raid controller" over just a SATA HBA
18:07:53 <Ysjoelfir> basically only provides JBOD/SINGLE configuration, as the workload is done by CPU anyways?
18:08:32 <Ampera> Depends on your hardware. If you have a particularly weak CPU and little RAM, hardware RAID can be a benefit
18:08:39 <Ampera> however, there are a lot of serious drawbacks to hardware RAID
18:08:48 <Ampera> if your RAID controller dies, you basically kiss your data goodbye
18:09:03 <Ampera> unless you can find an identical controller, formats are plentiful and proprietary
18:09:04 <Ysjoelfir> It will be a octacore ryzen, Zen3, with 16gig or more RAM
18:09:22 <Ampera> lol
18:09:27 <Ampera> yeah that's fine for ZFS
18:09:33 <Ampera> in which case, any controller will do
18:09:51 <Ampera> actually, that's not true, you need a controller which can operate as an HBA
18:09:59 <Ampera> I have a RAID controller in my compute server that can't do that
18:10:41 <Ysjoelfir> so that one can realy only make the drives as whatever it provides, and the system can't eg. make a stripset from two drives?
18:11:50 <Ampera> wha?
18:12:11 <Ampera> I think I just had a stroke
18:13:03 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir, ZFS likes direct access to the disks, which is where a HBA comes in
18:13:16 <Halcyon> If you have a hardware RAID controller in between, shit can go wrong
18:13:22 <Ampera> Most decent RAID controllers have an HBA mode, which works fine
18:13:32 <Halcyon> Not all decent RAID controllers do
18:13:37 <Ysjoelfir> noted :)
18:13:41 <Ampera> it's just rare freak bullshit like what's in my server that doesn't
18:13:46 <Halcyon> There are plenty of LSI ones which can't be flashed into IT mode
18:13:47 <Ampera> If it doesn't, it's not a decent RAID controller
18:13:55 <Ampera> if you need to flash it, it doesn't count
18:14:05 <Ampera> no exceptions
18:14:07 <Halcyon> More often than not you do
18:14:21 <Ampera> Luckily my 16 lane SAS controller has an HBA mode
18:14:26 <Ampera> which is in my storage server
18:14:28 <Halcyon> Which is why manufacturers provide firmware for both IT and IR mode
18:14:40 <Halcyon> Sorry, *some* manufacturers, for some models
18:14:41 <Ampera> well, I suppose that's fine
18:14:51 <Ampera> that's not available for the controller in my server though
18:15:05 <Ampera> there's some hack that you can do which requires a kernel patch, and is of course Linux only
18:15:12 <Ampera> but I just stuck an LSI HBA in and it's fine
18:15:18 <Halcyon> No. In my experience RAID cards that can act as just a HBA or in IT mode is actually less common than not
18:16:02 <Halcyon> I guess they figure, if you are buying a full blown RAID controller, why would you then disable most of its functionality?
18:16:10 <Halcyon> So many don't bother supporting it
18:16:36 <Ampera> honestly I expect hardware RAID to be pretty much dead at this point
18:16:41 <Ampera> with ZFS being a thing I don't know why you'd want it
18:16:44 <Halcyon> These days, yeh, pretty much
18:16:49 <Halcyon> Windows admins
18:16:57 <Ampera> lol
18:17:07 <Halcyon> But then again, you'll probably be using a *nix based SAN if you're doing things properly.
18:17:10 <Ampera> so you can have a dying controller for a dying platform
18:17:17 <Halcyon> Yup
18:17:34 <Halcyon> Prettttty much
18:17:53 <Ampera> in other news, I have less than 3 hours to reinstall like 5-6 VMs
18:18:04 <Ampera> including a full BAMP stack, ZNC, and a bunch of other random stuff
18:18:22 <Ampera> reinstall is loose, it's more just copying crap over and making sure all the packages that need to be there are there
18:20:40 <Ampera> er, BEMP stack, and it's also got a reverse proxy on it
18:21:25 <Ampera> Halcyon, the networking for these jails is kinda cool. A new feature called vnet basically virtualizes a second networking stack instead of sharing the host's, and it allows you to passthrough any interface you like
18:21:57 <Ampera> in order to get communications with the host, there's a really neat interface type called epair, which creates two interfaces when created
18:22:06 <Ampera> and sort of acts like a patch cable
18:22:26 <Ampera> My understanding of networking is really getting better. It's still not great, but it's getting better
18:23:20 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - RT @AvidCommentator: And now less than an hour later money markets are pricing in a full 0.25% Bank of England rate hike. The RBA may want…
18:39:32 <Halcyon> So like a v-swtich?
18:39:35 <Halcyon> *switch
18:40:05 <Ampera> No, though I am using a bridge interface too, which combines those all together
18:40:07 <Ampera> and that is a switch
18:40:28 <Ampera> this is more of an interface where what comes in one end goes out the other
18:40:30 <Ampera> like a patch cable
18:40:35 <Halcyon> So like a switch
18:40:41 <Ampera> no, because nothing is being switched
18:40:49 <Ampera> you can't have more than 2 peers
18:40:51 <Halcyon> That's why it's "virtual"
18:40:53 <Ampera> or less than 2 peers
18:41:04 <Ampera> because these are containers
18:41:08 <Halcyon> Right
18:41:10 <Ampera> the networking stack is being virtualized
18:41:47 <Ampera> but in order to communicate with the host, the epair is used to tunnel the connection through, somewhat akin to a tap interface
18:41:55 <Halcyon> I see
18:42:03 <Ampera> but instead of a tap being grabbed by the hypervisor, you give one half of the epair to the jail, and the host keeps the other
18:42:14 <Ampera> to switch them all together with a physical interface, I'm using a bridge interface
18:42:29 <Halcyon> I'd like to pair your tunnel
18:44:21 <Ampera> I am so glad I don't need to use block devices anymore
18:44:39 <Ampera> it's an absolute pain to get all the files off these VMs
18:55:23 <Ampera> wooo! amperaa.net is no longer running using VMs
18:55:25 <EEVBot> I don't think so.
18:55:40 <Ysjoelfir> 👌🏼
18:55:53 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, znc will go down in about 10-20 minutes or so-ish
18:56:11 <Ysjoelfir> thats perfect, I'll be in a meeting there anyway
18:56:40 <Ysjoelfir> to be precise, I leave now to get there in time. later :)
19:06:46 <Ampera> going down, see y'all in jail

23:26:21 <hsn> today i know sizeof is not a macro .. its a unary operator :)
23:33:07 <K> yay!
23:34:49 <Ysjoelfir> I don't even know what an unary operator is :D
23:34:54 * Ysjoelfir operates K unary
23:34:59 <Ysjoelfir> lets see what happenes
