02:34:59 * Ampera hugs Dude
02:36:00 <Dude> hey
02:36:11 Nick: Dude is now known as TheDude
02:36:27 <Ampera> how are you doing, TheDude
02:36:50 <TheDude> today was a slightly frustrating day
02:36:58 <TheDude> but that shit is over now, weekend time
02:37:17 <Ampera> I have 2 hours and 23 minutes left in my day
02:37:21 <Ampera> then it's weekend time
02:37:35 <TheDude> so we have a fairly complicated bootloading procedure for our thingamajig
02:37:47 <TheDude> and there are many settings which affect the procedure
02:37:57 <TheDude> so in order to cover all of the possible cases
02:38:15 <TheDude> I compiled a list of all the settings which affect it and listed all of the options of those
02:38:29 <TheDude> and then created a massive excel table which lists all of the possible combinations
02:38:35 <TheDude> 384 -.-
02:38:59 <TheDude> but thankfully you can quite quickly start trimming the options down once you figure out which can be excluded
02:39:38 <TheDude> I'm hoping we get down to like 30 realistic possible scenarios and figure out if our system reacts predictably to all of them
02:40:06 <TheDude> and anyhow, I needed to make a VBA script for some conditional formatting on the lines
02:40:13 <Ampera> VBA?
02:40:22 <TheDude> visual basic for applications
02:40:28 <Ampera> what
02:40:35 <TheDude> it allows you to automate things in excel
02:40:45 <TheDude> anyhow
02:41:00 <TheDude> I have an item on each line which you then set to yes or no
02:41:09 <Ampera> looking it up on wikipedia "As of 2020, VBA has held its position as "most dreaded" language for developers for 2 years"
02:41:18 <TheDude> if that specific line is probable to occur
02:41:33 <TheDude> so if I set that to no, because that combination of conditions will not happen
02:41:42 <TheDude> it will make the whole line red and cross out the text
02:41:54 <TheDude> so I can visually exclude that case from consideration when looking at the sheet
02:41:57 <TheDude> anyhow
02:42:03 <TheDude> fucking excel broke
02:42:06 <TheDude> it wouldn't save things
02:42:15 <TheDude> then after I fixed that
02:42:19 <TheDude> I did a bunch of work in it
02:42:25 <TheDude> and it fucked something up
02:42:37 <TheDude> and I lost like 1 hours worth of work
02:42:46 <TheDude> incredibly frustrating
02:43:12 <Ampera> I'm not a huge fan of spreadsheets personally
02:43:16 <TheDude> the team of retards that were programming excel should collectively go fuck themselves with a rusty rake
02:43:58 <TheDude> I'm not a fan either, but that's the tool that seems like the best fit for this particular job
02:45:40 <TheDude> anyhow, this is an incredibly tedious thing to do
02:45:49 <TheDude> reviewing all of the possible fuckups that might happen
02:45:54 <TheDude> but it has to be done
02:46:10 <TheDude> to make sure that whatever might happen to the software, we can recover it in the field

10:20:55 <Ampera> how are you doing sparkplug?
10:21:23 * electrohead runs
10:21:27 <electrohead> lol, hey dude
10:21:30 * electrohead hugs Ampera
10:21:33 <Ampera> <3
10:21:34 <electrohead> sparkplug, nice
10:21:37 <electrohead> I like that :p
10:21:42 <Ampera> more or less than powerguy
10:24:25 <electrohead> more
10:31:09 <arch> T3sl4, electrohead moved to grav. it's fking awesome: https://moltensolderlabs.com/
10:31:10 <EEVBot> [Title] - Home | Molten Solder Labs
10:31:27 <arch> just gotta move over the elog (soon)
10:31:48 <T3sl4> neat
10:31:50 <arch> err i mean i need to migrate the elog over, from a docker container to podman
10:32:06 <arch> T3sl4, it's also a flatfile CMS, very similar to PicoCMS
10:32:12 <arch> no databases
10:33:36 <electrohead> nice, I like it :)
10:33:49 <electrohead> I noticed you have a shout out to T3sl4, that's cool lol
10:33:54 * T3sl4 films
10:34:04 <arch> oc, T3sl4 is a legend
10:34:50 <arch> i was paying $3.5/mo for a lightsail instance. im gonna shut it down soon, but just for comparison's sake, i have it running on another domain, prinny.xyz
10:34:53 <arch> you can compare the diff
10:35:20 <T3sl4> why not prinny.dood
10:35:20 <arch> the PicoCMS is even more simpler than Grav, but i didn't wanna waste time manually writing markdown anymore
10:35:30 <arch> .dood is not a valid TLD unfortunately
10:35:37 <T3sl4> dude?
10:35:46 <arch> dude is probably, but would cost me a fortune
10:36:14 <T3sl4> if dood isn't then that's a business opportunity :^)
10:36:22 <electrohead> lol
10:36:33 <electrohead> I just registered my 6th domain name, recently >.<
10:36:42 <arch> electro.head?
10:36:46 <electrohead> lol
10:36:52 <electrohead> that would be cool to have
10:37:06 <electrohead> but, no, another personal domain
10:37:58 <Ampera> my site sucks
10:38:04 <Ampera> amperaa.net/
10:38:05 <EEVBot> I don't think so.
10:38:10 <Ampera> er, https://amperaa.net
10:38:10 <EEVBot> I don't think so.
10:38:20 <T3sl4> EEVBot: of course you think so!
10:38:21 <EEVBot> T3sl4: nega-tory, ghost rider!
10:38:22 <Ampera> it's just simplemachines
10:38:42 <arch> well it is a forum site. it has its uses if you have...many friends :D
10:38:50 <Ampera> I have no friends
10:38:52 <arch> not very useful if you have like...2
10:39:00 * arch is Ampera's friend :D
10:39:04 <T3sl4> you should know better
10:39:17 <arch> T3sl4, why must you hurt me like ths
10:39:34 <Ampera> smf is such ancient nasty software, seriously
10:39:44 <Ampera> I just have nothing better I can think of to replace it with
10:39:53 <Ampera> and am just hoping SMF 2.1 is finished before the rapture
10:40:10 <arch> i used to run a phpbb back in college so we could all pirate books
10:40:51 <Ampera> Ultimately it's just there to be something to hold the domain, and for me to test out my web stack with
10:41:13 <Ampera> The skin I found for it is excellent though
10:41:23 <arch> yea. i have 1 "main" site (the moltensolderlabs one), and another just for screwing around, that's the "prinny.xyz" one.
10:41:42 <arch> i got a good deal on that domain, i think $4 for 2 years
10:41:54 <arch> nobody wants .xyz domains, they sound dumb
10:42:03 <Ampera> When I start to get more established I'd love to start offering people hosting. The only reason I don't now is I just can't promise the reliability
10:42:18 <Ampera> I like .net because I'm absolutely an ISP
10:42:38 <electrohead> I think .xyz is pretty neat, however a lot of scam sites are using xyz domains, so it ruins it for legit xyz sites
10:42:42 <arch> i'm sure you can host many people with your 200MBit/s upload speeds
10:42:55 <Ampera> who said I have 200mbps up?
10:43:09 <Ampera> only the finest in this basement
10:43:09 <arch> i'm sure you can host many people with your 20Mbit/s up
10:43:11 <Ampera> I have symmetric gigabit
10:44:04 <Ampera> Actually I could probably host a few hundred thousand daily connections if I wanted to
10:44:08 <Ampera> hardware and link
10:44:33 <Ampera> I run a ~30 site wiki farm with some people on an 8vCPU VM and that handles it okay
10:44:44 <Ampera> and my compute server is 80"vCPU"s
10:47:55 <arch> ballz, this fucking nginx container is buggy on grav. i think i'll keep it on apache
10:48:03 <arch> crashed the site
10:48:06 <Ampera> nginx > apache
10:48:14 <arch> i know, but this nginx container is not good
10:48:18 <Ampera> I just got done getting rid of apache on my webserver
10:49:59 <arch> well the elog is back online. just gotta fix the main site by replacing the buggy nginx container
10:50:04 <electrohead> what is grav, anyway?
10:50:11 <arch> getgrav.org
10:50:13 <arch> flat file CMS
10:50:48 <arch> most modern CMS use databases, which, they're overkill for most small timer bloggers and whatnot
10:50:54 <arch> and a mess to migrate
10:51:01 <arch> and full of security holes
10:51:44 <Ampera> I use wordpress for my brother's site
10:52:05 <electrohead> ahh ok, cool thanks
10:55:08 <arch> electrohead, if you like really simple blogging solutions, check out ELOG. it's a 30,000 line piece of beauty written in C. single executable file.
10:55:34 <arch> this is what it looks like, you saw already i think, when i built that SEPIC conv: https://elog.moltensolderlabs.com/elog/3
10:55:35 <EEVBot> [Title] - Electronics Logs - MoltenSolderLabs
10:56:10 <arch> also has a docker image
10:56:15 <arch> love that shit
10:56:19 <Ampera> I hate docker
10:56:27 <arch> well, i like podman better
10:56:34 <Ampera> jails are cool
10:56:49 <Ampera> shipping everyone an entire userland when you want them to do something you're too lazy to document is not
10:56:54 <Ampera> looking at you ttrss
10:57:44 <Ampera> I also love it when projects ship build environments through docker, that don't actually work
10:58:07 <Ampera> name a technology
10:58:13 <Ampera> name a piece of software
10:58:17 <Ampera> I will find a way to get mad about it
10:58:20 <Ampera> and say how much I hate it
10:58:22 <Ampera> I dare you
10:59:32 <arch> python?
10:59:41 <Ampera> that's too easy
10:59:48 <Ampera> python is one of my least favorite languages
11:00:23 <T3sl4> Ampera: INT 20
11:00:24 <Ampera> it has the nodejs thing where it's too cool to package its dependencies outside of its own proprietary package repositories
11:01:42 <electrohead> ahh yes, that layout
11:02:06 <Ampera> T3sl4, you'll have to be more specific, do you mean the Saturn INT-20, IBM PC BIOS function 20 (0x14) which handles serial port devices
11:02:16 <Ampera> an Integer of size 20
11:02:53 <T3sl4> or, on linux i think, just RET?
11:03:28 <T3sl4> MSDOS hooks INT 20 as "program end", preferred is INT 21 AH=4Ch or whatever
11:03:35 <Ampera> ah, MSDOS
11:03:55 <Ampera> yeah most of MSDOS's functions are under interrupt 0x21
11:04:22 <T3sl4> 20 is the one kinda CP/M relic
11:04:32 <T3sl4> but yeah, a nop program in any case
11:04:45 * Ampera throws an IVT at T3sl4
11:04:55 * T3sl4 CATCHs
11:05:31 <Ampera> so you're a catcher?
11:05:57 <T3sl4> ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
11:12:58 * jaymax forgets to pack a MicroSD adapter so extracts dashcam footage with USB2 cable.
11:13:05 * jaymax waits.......................
11:14:12 <Ampera> jaymax, you might be waiting until quebec is installed as the 51st state in the union for that to happen
11:14:21 <Ampera> still no luck for puerto rico of course
11:15:33 <jaymax> Or for Canukistan to absorb the Turks and Caicos, instead of consdering it for the past twenty-some-odd years.

11:16:50 <jaymax> Ampera please get your government to butt in so we can stop hemming and hawing.
11:21:50 <jaymax> Oh hey 5.6 of 10.1 GB already. Turning out better than this 3G-speeds-in-the-woods communication I got going on here.
11:26:37 <jaymax> Ampera burn the python snakepit while you're at it.
11:26:48 <Ampera> the what who what
11:27:07 <jaymax> almost one half hour ago.
11:29:48 <jaymax> The python binary should make any OS Suicide Linux after a typo the moment it realizes it is being used as a production toolset.
11:32:33 <jaymax> python is there to make the LED blink and then disassambled for the next lesson or rebuilt with real tools - not to support your HP printer, run your mailing list, or spin up your VM's.
11:33:57 <electrohead> so much hate
11:34:10 <Ampera> oh thank god, someone who has a brain
11:34:20 <Ampera> it is depressing how popular python has gotten
11:34:38 <Ampera> the only thing worse than python, is python on the web
11:34:47 <Ampera> which is like puking on a pile of shit
11:35:28 <jaymax> lol
11:38:24 <jaymax> Anyhoo, I'm draining a bunch of batteries RN, some Lithium Maganese, others Lead Acid. Cheers.
11:41:23 <electrohead> "my programming dick is bigger than your programming dick"

13:31:49 <Nothing\> well i ditched avg and went with bit defender
13:32:10 <Nothing\> and surprise surprise, bit defender found 14 more pieces of malware that avg didn't
13:32:47 <Nothing\> turned out avg wasn't even doing a scan of my full hard drive. Just those stupid quick scans. And there was no option I could see in its dumbed down gui to do a full scan
13:33:27 <Nothing\> i thought it odd that the scan with avg only took like 20 minutes when i remember waiting hours for scans to finish
13:34:48 <steve30> i might attempt to go to the shops later
13:35:09 <Nothing\> oh, satellite launch tonight
13:35:14 <Nothing\> ~5:30EST
13:35:28 <Nothing\> they're calling for a 90% chance of favourable conditions
13:35:44 <Nothing\> it's that LUCY satellite that's gonna visit 8 asteroids
13:36:44 <steve30> i think i'll make a coffee
13:37:16 <Nothing\> as your attorney i advise you to make it strong
13:37:42 <Nothing\> nothing wrong with a little extra oomph. Unless you're me and have anxiety attacks from it.
13:37:59 <Nothing\> maybe just some flavoured creamer
13:38:15 <Nothing\> mmmm that's what i need
13:38:49 <Nothing\> except i can't make coffee at home cuz my mom's keurig just brews a large size cup no matter what setting you press. Which means watered down.
13:39:11 <Nothing\> and i prefer to put a fair bit of cream in my coffee, flavored or not
13:39:28 <Nothing\> so i prefer it to be stronger, but less... volumous?
13:40:09 <Nothing\> and frankly i find drip coffee makers just make the coffee taste horrible for some reason
13:40:24 <Nothing\> no amount of running vinegar through it gets rid of it
13:41:16 <Nothing\> so i like the keurigs for the fact that you have a clean up of coffee every time. But I hate them because of the excessive packaging, which equates to higher cost per unit.
13:42:05 <Nothing\> especially when you consider how much more ground coffee or even coffee beans you could stack in the same volume as a box of 40 keurig pods.
13:42:46 <Nothing\> definitely more than enough to make 40 cups, that's for sure. Considering it takes what? a couple of spoon fulls of ground coffee for a cup
13:43:41 <steve30> i prefer it stronger with plenty of milk
13:43:49 * steve30 uses a Cafetiere to make coffee
13:44:18 <Nothing\> i found out these iced cappuccinos i've been getting from tim hortons have like 200mg and change per cup
13:44:41 <Nothing\> which boggles my mind because a couple months ago i couldn't even tolerate half a cup of coffee without having an anxiety attack
13:45:09 <Nothing\> i used to drink lots of caffeine, but i completely abstained from it from about 2008 until present
13:45:38 <steve30> coffee can go either way for me with anxiety
13:45:45 <Nothing\> but now with all the sedating meds i take, i drink coffee to keep myself from falling asleep on the spot, narcolepsy style
13:45:56 <Nothing\> which has caused me to have some nasty falls more than once
13:46:03 <steve30> it can exascerbate physical symptoms, but its nice, and i'm a bit addicted to it, so if i have one it reduces the anxiety a bit.
13:46:26 <Nothing\> last time i fell into the tables in my room and knocked them all over, banged myself up good in the process
13:46:45 <Nothing\> and a few days ago i did it in the bathroom and knocked the shower curtain over onto my head
13:47:18 <Nothing\> i think it's more the meds exacerbating my sleep deprivation than just the meds but it's still annoying
13:47:36 <Nothing\> usually i can wake myself up before i hit the ground but if there's something in the way i don't have time
13:48:39 <steve30> why do you take sedating medication?
13:48:51 <Nothing\> steve30, yeah i realize i'm becoming addicted to it. But I had to cut back to once or twice a week cuz my mum was buying them for me and they're like $3 and change, so to have her do that every day for me as i started drinking them more often it just got to be unreasonable
13:49:33 <Nothing\> steve30, mostly because i took them for other reasons at some point and have now become physically dependent on them and find myself unable to wean myself off more than i have
13:49:57 <Nothing\> but i still try, so i figure as long as i keep trying to wean myself off statistically, i should succeed sooner or later
13:50:01 <Nothing\> if nothing else
13:50:28 <Nothing\> and even if i don't get off of them entirely, lowering the dose mitigates the side effects
13:51:15 <Nothing\> i really don't like it though. It's a huge liability since it could very well kill me if i ever had to go cold turkey off of it all at once.
13:51:53 <Nothing\> ie if my doctor decides to suddenly take me off of them, which has happened to me and friends of mine, or if i end up in jail for some reason, they don't always give you your meds.
13:52:53 <Nothing\> like i started on clonazepam last year during my legal problems when i was looking at 2 years in prison
13:53:10 <Nothing\> and i got on methadone because it's a far sight better than the street crap i was taking before that
13:53:47 <Nothing\> i've just gotta keep trying, keep plowing on and i'll get it eventually, i know it.
13:55:04 <steve30> I stopped taking my citalopram mostly because healthcare in this country is crap. The medication worked very well. But with my countries healthcare you can end up stopping and starting medication due to incompetent "professionals".
13:55:21 <steve30> I decided it wasn't worth the bother any more.
13:56:42 <Nothing\> yup, that's exactly what i'm afraid of
13:57:06 <Nothing\> thankfully my shrink's pretty good as far as meds are concerned
13:57:52 <Nothing\> though that's about it

16:43:44 <steve30> I guess that's an oscilloscope Halcyon will /not/ be buying
16:43:59 <Halcyon> Hahahah
16:44:13 <Halcyon> She's really trying to suck that gut in
16:45:24 <steve30> Actually someone I knew on a forum years ago used to sell Amiga parts on eBay. He took photos of the parts in the vicinity of his girlfriend's boobs :D
16:45:59 <steve30> In other news, Greater Manchester Police finally replied to my Freedom of Information Act request.
16:46:05 <steve30> It only took them over a month.
16:46:18 <Halcyon> What did you ask for?
16:46:51 <steve30> I asked them how much money they received from Manchester Pride Ltd for policing services at Manchester Pride.
16:47:19 <steve30> Turned out to be £84770.81.
16:47:28 <Halcyon> OK
16:47:31 <Halcyon> Why is that interesting?
16:48:08 <steve30> Its intriguing to know whom the police are working for.
16:48:31 <Halcyon> Companies and events can hire police here as well
16:48:50 <Halcyon> They call them "User pays" events. Mainly because police can actually do stuff where as private security are useless
16:49:48 <Halcyon> I do those shifts from time to time. They pay 1.5x
16:50:41 <steve30> Its the same kind of thing here.
16:51:16 <Halcyon> Yeh they are pretty good money earners
16:51:42 <Halcyon> They also hire resources like vehicles and aircraft for things like movies and TV commercials etc...
16:56:18 <steve30> Do you have a police hellicoptor?
16:56:32 <Halcyon> We have several, plus fixed wing aircraft
16:56:51 <steve30> We used to have one. I had someone show me around it once. I don't think they have it any more though.
16:56:53 <Halcyon> I think was have 5 helicopters at the moment
16:57:09 <Halcyon> *we
16:57:25 <steve30> ooh, fancy
16:58:44 <steve30> anyway, i'm going to try and attempt some shopping.

22:55:33 <Nothing\> man wtf is wrong with our military
22:56:18 <Nothing\> in the last week there have been no fewer than 3 top military officials either charged with, in regards to, or under investigation for sexual assault on subordinates
22:56:44 <Nothing\> last summer a Major quit because one of our generals had been sexually assaulting her for decades
22:56:54 <Nothing\> so much so that he got her pregnant twice
22:57:22 <Nothing\> when she tried to file a complaint, since he's a general he basically owns the military court so she just wound up with a reprimand
22:57:43 <Nothing\> she ultimately quit as a way to make a stand and since then it's been big news and the guy's been under investigation
22:58:19 <Nothing\> the other three this week were a... i think lieutenant admiral, a major general, and i forget the rank of the third
22:59:44 <Nothing\> i'm just glad they're finally taking it seriously. But after this i've come to realize, it doesn't matter whether it's a church, mental hospital (that i've been in), mental health professionals in an outpatient setting, schools, anywhere where you have people with authority over subordinates
22:59:49 <Nothing\> THERE WILL BE ABUSE NO QUESTION
23:00:15 <Nothing\> there was a class action suit against the mental health place i was in as a teenager because the staff was abusing the kids
23:00:45 <Nothing\> and a few years ago there was a story out of the same place where a worker in the area i stayed in took a kid out to the woods out back, beat him half to death then left him for dead
23:01:10 <Nothing\> it's fucking everywhere, it makes me physically ill to consider and makes me even wonder if i'm literally in hell
23:01:28 <Nothing\> actually more and more lately i've been wondering that again
23:10:11 <Nothing\> oh wonderful
23:10:49 <Nothing\> now there's a story i came across somehow about 6 kids at a school in toronto who were arrested for gang rape, sexual assault and some other shit for a hazing incident where the RAPED A KID WITH A FUCKING BROOM
23:11:03 <Nothing\> crown attorney stated they want a 3 month sentence for them
23:11:36 <Nothing\> that's what i fucking served just for grabbing my brother's ex's t&a jokingly (though admittedly in bad taste) when we were hanging out and drinking together
23:12:03 <Nothing\> i'm calling the crown's office in toronto on monday and recommending they get a MUCH more strict sentence
23:12:26 <Nothing\> i should also write them, citing several hazing incidences involving sexual assault that wound up in death
23:13:15 <Nothing\> i don't want the kids to have pen time, 2 years less a day would be fine. But once their time's up that's it, they get to walk away and never think about it again.
23:13:39 <Nothing\> this poor kid they did unspeakable things to is going to live with this the rest of his life
23:13:48 <Nothing\> and probably suffered a good number of injuries
23:13:57 <Nothing\> and they only want 3 fucking months?
23:14:05 <Nothing\> again i ask you, wtf is wrong with this world?
23:14:07 <Nothing\> is this hell?
23:14:12 <Nothing\> seriously
23:14:25 <Nothing\> shit like this literally makes me want to kill myself
23:14:54 <Nothing\> i want nothing to do with a world like this. I don't care if there is any beauty in it. No amount of beauty can make up for the atrocities this world sees every second-
23:16:09 <Nothing\> and all that beauty does is put off the inevitable horror another moment longer. Like a drug addict trying to run from withdrawal for one more day with another hit.
23:25:05 <Nothing\> ugh it's not a good day when you start it off with a sore throat from yelling at the news
23:25:08 <Nothing\> lol
