08:22 <Ysjoelfir> mornings mr. head
08:30 <Ysjoelfir> so, did you already receive your thing? :D
14:21 <electrohead> not yet!
14:27 <electrohead> it's .... somewhere
14:33 <electrohead> probably in the air

30:37 * arch throws a potato at T3sl4 
31:31 * T3sl4 ferments it
31:58 <arch> i have never had moonshine. how is it compared to whisky?
32:04 <T3sl4> harsh?
32:22 <electrohead> but amazing
32:40 <arch> i like the fragrance of whisky, really adds to the taste
32:47 <T3sl4> yes
33:18 <T3sl4> aged rum can be nice too, adds some of that molasses flavor with the woodyness
34:22 <Ysjoelfir> electrohead, maybe its also going by sea. DHL warned that low priority shipments might go by sea due to cost restrictions. I could have made it a prio shipment, but that would have increased the shipping costs from.... what was it, 58?€ to over 100 xD
35:28 <arch> yee, i love rum too. it seems i don't have a taste for the low alcohol content stuff tho. especially dislike beer, idk how you people drink that shit

39:35 <arch> ikr, im quite dumb
39:53 * T3sl4 pats arch
40:41 <arch> i have to work today, and it's Native Genocide day
41:16 <arch> fuckers took out the native american from the Land O Lakes logo, wtf. first they took their land, then they took their identity too
42:14 <arch> corporate has no idea what they're doing. what's with logos these days, they keep dumbing everything down
42:18 <arch> like all the google shit
43:50 <T3sl4> well, aint no one improving the schools, what do you expect
43:54 <electrohead> Ysjoelfir: oh ok, all is good. in that case, your package is floating!
43:56 <electrohead> :p
44:26 <T3sl4> we all float down here

02:36 <TheDude> I have trouble believing that you'd struggle with finding a job steve30000
02:57 <TheDude> they're looking for engineers / computer wizards everywhere these days
03:35 <TheDude> and I do mean it, when I say looking
03:52 <TheDude> because these two potential jobs both came to me
04:12 <TheDude> got headhunted and I have fuckall experience

07:58 <steve30000> I'm not saying I couldn't get a job. I'm not looking at the moment due to long term illness, and that's why i haven't been looking for years. But recessions and coronaviruses have never helped.
08:43 <steve30000> Funnily enough, I was saying to someone in a video interview a year ago that I haven't got a hope in hells chance of finding work now, what with all the business closures, but now there are actually quite a lot of job vacancies.

12:02 <TheDude> try setting up a linkedin profile
12:17 <TheDude> and actually putting in time to fill it in
12:45 <TheDude> I was astounded how quickly it garnered interest from head hunters and such
13:53 <watcher> TheDude, the jobs that head hunters offered you where they in your area (like within 60minute car drive) from you living place?
14:49 <TheDude> yup
15:17 <TheDude> but I do have the advantage of living right in the nation's capital
15:39 Join: Lemon ([email protected]) to #eevblog
15:48 <TheDude> and most business is rather centralized here, so there's a lot of choices nearby

16:38 <watcher> in my area they see, 'yeh we have a job in your area and you dont need to drive every they to other companys' but it is like 2 - 3 hours car drive from your house and exact the kind of job you dont want

18:09 <watcher> *kob - job
18:37 <TheDude> yeah, that kinda sucks
18:48 <TheDude> you're from the netherlands?
19:03 <watcher> yes
19:12 <watcher> how do you now that?
19:19 <TheDude> hehehe
19:36 <TheDude> whois reveals your network provider
20:12 <watcher> and you just googled kpn?
20:17 <TheDude> yup
20:27 <TheDude> opened their site and saw dutch
20:43 <TheDude> then I just checked the company information and saw that they're from rotterdam
21:00 <TheDude> just to confirm that you're not from like ZA or something
21:26 <watcher> no iam not in ZA
21:36 <TheDude> yeah, we've established that
22:03 <TheDude> anyhow, do you live in a very rural area?
22:27 <watcher> there are now very rural area's in The Netherlands
22:58 <TheDude> what about working remotely? is that not available in general?
24:47 <watcher> just the 4-5 big(ger) city's where like 10% of the people live and them some smaller city's and then you get towns with farmland in between but not feather them like 15 min car drive between the towns add max (or 3-5 km in a straight line)
25:07 <steve30000> headphones don't go very loud on this thinkpad
25:17 <electrohead> steve30000: headphone amp?
25:21 <electrohead> and, hey o/
25:30 <watcher> about the remotely work qeustion. yes that is a option by a lot of company's also part time remote
26:18 <steve30000> its loud enough for me to not want external hardware, but quiet enough for me to complain
27:21 <electrohead> lol
29:37 <watcher> bye bye
29:53 <TheDude> o/

57:53 <steve30000> the keyboard on this thinkpad is nice
59:48 <rust_collector> are you happy with the stinkpad, in general? I think a 420 would work well for most things
59:56 <steve30000> its good
00:10 <steve30000> i've given it a good clean up and it looks better.
00:16 <rust_collector> my neighbor has a T61 as a work computer, lol
00:44 <steve30000> I also put my 500GB SSD in which already had slackware installed so i'm running that now, but i intend to do a fresh insall
01:01 <steve30000> I'd guess the T61 is still quite usable for a lot of things.
02:02 <rust_collector> yes, sure it is, but I also see how many of the newer ones we haul to be recycled, so I think it is a bit weird that his company still used those old things
03:02 <rust_collector> I have a thing for the T40. I want one, and I have no idea why
03:17 <steve30000> if it works reliably they may as well keep it (provided they don't need to upgrade)
03:41 <steve30000> I have the R40 which i think was intended as a cheaper alternative to the T40
04:20 <rust_collector> right. But I see most companies these days have a 5 year or so thing, where they just replace everything. good for me, I am not sure if it does anything good for the companies
06:00 <steve30000> probably easier for a big company to upgrade the whole fleet rather than keeping lots of spare parts for older modes.
07:12 <Sigyn> I have a E595
08:34 <rust_collector> well, I would think they could have a few new spare machines, so when one broke, you just got a new one. oh well.
09:43 <rust_collector> I think I will see if I can get my emachines some model going again. there is nothing special about it, except I really like the screen it has. I just think it looks nice, for some reason
25:18 <Kuschelpony> should i copy some bad british humor here?

23:20 <electrohead> Ampera: you should hook me up
23:56 <Ampera> electrohead, believe it or not you're in the running for who gets my spare line
24:15 <electrohead> lol
24:15 <Ampera> I'll let you know what gets decided if you're serious
29:48 <electrohead> how much would I have to pay a month?
29:53 <electrohead> just curious
34:10 <Ampera> We can negotiate, but 30/mo would be fine by me
34:37 <Ampera> the plan it T-Mobile's magenta max, so it's top tier

47:20 <steve30> Is the Windows 7 installer supposed to boot from a memory card or do I have to burn a DVD?
47:40 <Halcyon_Work> You should be able to write the ISO to a USB key
47:45 <steve30> My thinkpad won't boot it from a card
48:05 <arch> steve30, use the program Rufus. it's open source, and you use it to make a bootable Windows flashdrive

48:24 <Halcyon_Work> Yeh Rufus works well
48:25 <arch> bootable windows 10 installer i mean
50:45 <steve30> thanks
53:06 <arch> why are you installing windows 7 btw? you know you can install and use windows10 for free, without registering? the only downside is a watermark on the bottom right corner, but that's not even noticeable
53:26 <arch> better yet, install linux. damn normies
53:57 * steve30 hisses at windows 10
54:30 * arch replaces steve30's windows usb with Miley Cyrus Linux usb
54:38 <steve30> hehe
55:17 <steve30> i put my 'old' SSD in the thinkpad which contains a slackwar install and that runs quite nicely.
55:52 <arch> thinkpads will outlive humanity itself
56:11 <arch> except the new thinkpads that are copying apple. those can go to hell
15:48 <Halcyon_Work> Some of the arch
15:58 <Halcyon_Work> Others like the P1 are still upgradable and servicable.
16:04 <Halcyon_Work> *are
29:27 <arch> for shits and giggles, i am trying out pigz with the "-11" (ultra uber maximum compression) flag, and this shit is taking forever
29:43 <arch> apparently it offers a few percent reduced archive size
30:21 <arch> sooooo, it's not worth it. went from 47MB to 45MB....and took more than 10x as long to compress
30:28 <arch> compared to the default -6 flag

I think it might have been a US RCA factory's stuff, it had all sorts of how the tubes were formed and phosphors applied and baked. Been looking for it again for ages and can't find it, may have bitrotted out of the

02:52 <Ampera> hahahaha
02:59 <Ampera> obvious and uncomplicated
02:59 <Ampera> hahaha
03:02 <Lartza> :P
03:20 <Lartza> I guess it can be from inside the transformer I can't really tell because it's so compact

52:59 <Ysjoelfir> USPS started listing your package :) you can find it with the same number. though its not far yet
55:23 <Ampera> electrohead, next time use transglobal express, they're cheaper for shipping to Germany
55:29 <Ampera> and you get DHL express instead of just USPS
58:55 <Ysjoelfir> its the other way around
59:16 <Ampera> huh?
59:20 <Ampera> oh
59:27 <Ampera> actually it may still apply
59:33 <Ampera> check the prices, as they're quite cheap from transglobal
59:48 <Ampera> might not be as relatively cheap, because shipping from Germany is cheaper than shipping to Germany
