00:04:58 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - A space exploration movie I haven't seen. This will do nicely for tonight's B grade movie. https://t.co/5DlSAFoCNR
00:05:28 <Ampera> GOOD MORNING VIETNAM
00:16:10 <electrohead> O.O
00:16:14 * electrohead drowns Ampera in coffee
00:16:27 <Ampera> ew
00:16:35 * Ampera transmutes the coffee into tea, drowns electrohead in it
00:16:40 <electrohead> lol
00:16:42 <electrohead> hey man
00:18:02 <Ampera> how are you doing electrohead
00:23:59 <electrohead> tired as always
00:24:01 <electrohead> you?
00:24:55 <Ampera> just doing some telephone things
00:25:04 <Ampera> did you see that I bought a new modem?
00:25:16 <electrohead> what did you get?
00:25:41 <Ampera> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S19SQJ3 and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B092ZLVT56
00:25:42 <EEVBot> [Title] - Sorry! Something went wrong!
00:27:56 <Ampera> It's the cheapest yet fastest linux compatible cellular solution I could find
00:28:14 <Ampera> I could go all the way up to 5G, but 5G modules are 200-300 bucks, and I don't even know if this shit will work
00:28:28 <electrohead> *saves*
00:28:30 <Ampera> LTE CAT-6 is plenty fast for me at the moment though, 300/50
00:28:30 <electrohead> thanks for that
00:28:41 <Ampera> Driver should be mainline too
00:28:47 <Ampera> *should*
00:29:06 <Ampera> also https://github.com/danielewood/sierra-wireless-modems
00:29:08 <EEVBot> [Title] - GitHub - danielewood/sierra-wireless-modems: EM7565/EM7455/MC7455 - Modem Configuration
00:29:15 <Ampera> this may come in handy
00:30:07 <Ampera> it primarily describes flashing and updating firmware, along with identity spoofing and other such goodies
00:31:24 <Ampera> when/if I can find a cheap linux compatible 5G modem, I'll buy one, and it should be a drop in upgrade
00:31:44 <Ampera> I'm also hoping the antennas are some way decent, at least above what my phone can do
00:37:57 <electrohead> yeah I would like to get a WWAN card for my 7510

01:09:18 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera and electrohead
01:09:34 * Ampera hugs Nothing\, offers tea
01:09:36 <Nothing\> mein katzen ist ein kartoffel katzen
01:09:54 <Nothing\> katz?
01:10:07 <Nothing\> i'm not sure about noun endings, or endings in general
01:10:10 <Nothing\> in german
01:15:13 <Nothing\> ah screw it
01:15:22 <Nothing\> i've got $20 on my nintendo eshop account
01:15:32 <Nothing\> might as well buy some online time for my games
01:15:47 <Nothing\> play some tetris 99 against real players, cuz i completely pwned the hardest computer level
01:16:06 <Nothing\> surpassed level 20 in marathon, which for some reason that's as high as it gets
01:16:52 <Nothing\> i watched a TAS run of NES Tetris yesterday. The bot got past 255 lines. And surpsingly it didn't wrap around
01:17:10 <Nothing\> it just started using the next characters in the CHRAM
01:17:50 <Nothing\> like at one point it was using parts of the square box that tells you what your next piece is in place of numbers for the lines
01:19:11 <Nothing\> actually what i really loved was that episode of retro game mechanics about super mario land 2 on gameboy where he manages to clip through the walls in a level and literally walk around in the memory of the game. Interpretted as sprites and graphics
01:19:22 <Nothing\> i thought that was really cool
01:20:11 <Nothing\> there was even a way to finish the game by finding the right bit of graphics occupying the right memory address, which happens to be a block of some sort, and hitting it to change its value which sends you to the end screen
01:20:21 <Nothing\> iirc
01:20:44 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPzuYWbnln4
01:20:45 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: Super Mario Land 2 - Memory Exploration
01:21:02 <Nothing\> also
01:21:05 * Nothing\ guzzles tea
01:21:14 <Nothing\> sorry Ampera, didn't see your offer until just now
01:21:46 <Nothing\> ii'm a bit scatter brained today. Not in the greatest of moods. Having a crisis of faith. Potential depressive psychosis. Among other things.
01:22:21 <Nothing\> i still love and believe in god but i'm about read to abandon Him or at elast take a break if nothing else.
01:23:42 <Nothing\> i pray and i beg and i plead and i supplicate myself before him, yet it all goes unanswered. And while it may not be in his plans and I understand if it weren't I likely wouldn't understand why for the life of me. But I still can't help but be frustrated and upset for the many reasons I laid out earlier in the chat.
01:24:31 <Nothing\> it's like the emotional side of me is at odds with the rational side of me. The emotional side wanting results, the rational side understanding there may be a very good reason why i'm not getting results.
01:25:18 <Ampera> All I can say is never feel bad about reevaluating your beliefs, and be ready to exchange any single one of them with a better one
01:25:23 <Nothing\> but as far as i'm concerned, nothing is worth it if even one person has to suffer. And a lot more than just 1 person has suffered.
01:25:40 <Nothing\> Ampera, that's the thing, it's not better
01:25:52 <Nothing\> it's just a purely emotional reaction to being overwhelmed
01:26:07 <Ampera> If it wasn't better in some way you wouldn't be evaluating it
01:26:11 <Ampera> and you wouldn't be having this crisis
01:26:19 <Nothing\> Ampera, i would be if i were depressed
01:26:21 <Nothing\> which i am
01:26:42 <Nothing\> it's like in the case of suicide
01:26:51 <Nothing\> saying it must be a good idea if you keepthinking about it
01:26:55 <Nothing\> know what i'm saying?
01:27:01 <Ampera> nope
01:27:04 <Nothing\> it's a bit of an extreme example but i think it gets my point across
01:27:08 <Nothing\> ah
01:27:10 <Nothing\> oh well
01:27:23 <Nothing\> thanks again for that game
01:27:29 <Nothing\> i'm almost done my first playthrough
01:27:39 <Nothing\> except stupid me didn't start the game on hard mode
01:27:57 <Nothing\> so that means i have to complete at least 1 additional playthrough to get all of the achievements
01:28:15 <Nothing\> at least 1. For a total of 4 playthroughs about 40-60 hours each
01:29:01 <Nothing\> right now i'm trying to farm an item that's got a drop rate of like 0.4% on the most rare random encounters for this one area with really hard monsters
01:29:28 <Nothing\> it was bad enough that i killed in excess of 100 of these other monsters for another item with a 5% drop rate and still never got it
01:29:50 <Nothing\> and there are at least 5 of these items with a 0.4% drop rate i have to collect
01:30:27 <Nothing\> and all sorts of hidden stuff. Two extra super bosses i had no idea even existed in the game.
01:31:27 <Nothing\> it kinda sucks in a way cuz i find myself constantly consulting the guide for the game when i just wanna play through it normally. But if I miss just one thing, that's the entire 1-3 or more playthroughs ruined
01:31:56 <Nothing\> but that's just for us crazies who want to 100% the game
01:33:18 <Nothing\> either way Ampera you've provided me with a great deal of joy for many dozens of hours. And I'm extremely grateful for that.
01:33:34 <Ampera> no problem
01:33:42 <Nothing\> in this fucked up world, providing me with such joy is really meaningful for me
01:34:31 <Nothing\> i always wish how i could just get lost in a game for hours on end like some people do. And this is one of those rare games in which i'm able to do that.
01:34:41 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera <3
01:34:52 <Ampera> <3
01:34:53 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
01:35:18 <Nothing\> it's not even about the game or the money really, just the gesture alone means more than i could put into words
01:35:33 <Nothing\> i mean, i don't even get presents from my family at christmas
01:35:59 <Nothing\> maybe some boxers from my mum and one special thing from her. But that's it.
01:36:10 <Nothing\> rest of my family just gives me an obligatory card. If anything.
01:36:36 <Nothing\> or my aunt gets me a scratch-off ticket
01:36:44 <Ampera> I believe the most rewarding thing to do with money is to be able to provide others with joy from it
01:36:53 <Nothing\> yes, exactly
01:37:05 <Nothing\> i told you about how i've been getting into donating my money, yeah?
01:37:17 <Nothing\> even though my money itself is a donation
01:37:57 <Nothing\> i always figured "i'm poor and on social services so why should I be the one who donates to others? They should be donating to me
01:38:00 <Nothing\> "
01:38:56 <Nothing\> but after i let my pride ease up when i accepted god i changed that way of thinking to "well if i have the money, i'll toss some of it their way why not. It's better than spending it on weed or video games"
01:39:59 <Nothing\> that was a big part of accepting god into my life. Was letting my pride down. As that was a big reason why i rejected Him in the first place.
02:06:07 <Nothing\> there lol
02:06:15 <Nothing\> i bought pac-man 99 on the switch
02:06:34 <Nothing\> and a 1 month subscription for the switch online service cuz it's only $5 so why not
02:07:04 <Nothing\> i'd rather play pac-man 99 and tetris-99 against humans. The computer is just either way too easy or outright impossible
02:07:23 <Nothing\> i'm not even sure how multiplayer vs pac-man would work.
02:08:04 <Nothing\> They had another called mario 35 which was basically the same thing, a multiplayer vs smb game where you play against 35 opponents simultaneously instead of 99. But for some reason it's not available anymore.

03:02:08 <Nothing\> ah tetris 99's fun
03:02:34 <Nothing\> tetris in general is underrated. except i always played to get the most lines rather than the highest score until just a couple of years ago
03:03:17 <Nothing\> now i've had to revamp my whole play style to try and get as many tetrises as possible, and take advantage of combos and get better at performing T-spins
03:03:40 <Nothing\> and generally learn how to make a good enough stack that i don't have to burn lines constantly, which was my old strategy
03:03:46 <Nothing\> just burn one line after another
03:04:45 <Nothing\> wow, this guy decided to take a vacation in afghanistan just as the taliban started taking over
03:05:15 <Nothing\> he had to take a seat an a c-130 that an afghan citizen might have otherwise occupied because he wanted to post his travels on 4chan
03:05:36 <DHess_US> https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/177/119/f44.jpg
03:18:54 <Nothing\> hey DHess_US
03:18:57 <Nothing\> how's it going?
03:19:13 <Nothing\> haha that's a funny pic
03:19:17 <Nothing\> i'm totally stealing that
03:19:26 <Nothing\> that'd actually made a good tattoo on one's back
03:19:58 <Nothing\> i've been considering getting a konami code tattoo or some other tattoo dedicated to NES or retro gaming for the last few years
03:20:13 <Nothing\> i'm gravitating more towards the konami code, but i wouldn't know where to get it
03:20:32 <Nothing\> ideally across my chest, but my left chest already has a tatoo
03:20:55 <Nothing\> or i was thinking across my upper back, but then what's the point of a tattoo you'll never see?
03:21:06 <Nothing\> or maybe down one of my calves
03:21:26 <Nothing\> i think the calf would be the best thought
03:21:46 <Nothing\> or a forearm, but i'd prefer not to get a tattoo that's visible with short sleeves
03:22:01 <Nothing\> my upper arms would also be ideal but they're both taken
03:22:14 <Nothing\> as is my one thigh
03:22:33 <rust_collector> under your foot, maybe?
03:22:42 <Nothing\> damn that'd be painful
03:23:04 <rust_collector> only for the first few years
03:23:08 <Nothing\> my underfeet are so sensitive, the lightest touch makes me jerk away instinctively
03:23:15 <Nothing\> like when somebody touched my testicles
03:23:33 <Nothing\> i immediately tear their hands away from the area without even thinking about it
03:23:50 <rust_collector> me too, but it is not because it hurts, as such
03:23:58 <Nothing\> i had to have them examined by a doctor once and had to sit on my hands so they wouldn't shoot down and rip her hands from the area
03:24:05 <Nothing\> yes exactly
03:24:10 <Nothing\> i'm just really uncomfortable with it
03:24:21 <Ampera> Nothing\, do I have enough cores: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/413130732458868739/898968843186229288/Screenshot_395.png
03:24:29 <Nothing\> i don't even like touching them myself. Like giving myselftesticular exams for cancer
03:24:49 <Nothing\> cores or threads?
03:24:52 <Ampera> either
03:24:56 <Nothing\> from what i hear threads are equivalent to cores
03:24:59 <Ampera> if you're asking what those are, those are threads
03:25:05 <Ampera> they are not necessarily
03:25:05 <Nothing\> but it seems cpus have twice as many threads as cores, as a rule
03:25:11 <Ampera> this is an SMT2 system, so 1 core = 2 threads
03:25:29 <Nothing\> off the top of my head, a thread is basically just like a process, right?
03:25:39 <Ampera> the weak explanation is that threads allow a core to function as two cores, which can be useful in some circumstances for multithreaded applications
03:25:41 <Nothing\> or rather a bunch of processes being shared by a core or something
03:25:42 <Ampera> no
03:25:45 <Ampera> that's the other sad part
03:25:50 <Ampera> there are two different definitions of thread
03:25:58 <Nothing\> yeah, it's like 5g
03:26:12 <Nothing\> even i was confused about 5G when it came out because there are 2 different 5Gs
03:26:27 <Ampera> a thread is either a subset of a core in an SMT configuration, or it's a running process (sorta)
03:26:43 <Nothing\> there should be a committee on naming conventions in computer stuff
03:27:00 <Nothing\> right, i kinda understood the second definition
03:27:29 <Nothing\> but then i was confused about the first because i was trying to figure out how it related to the second definition, assuming the two were related because of the similarity in naming
03:27:41 <Nothing\> anyways
03:27:48 * Nothing\ finally clicks Ampera's link

03:30:42 <Ampera> Nothing\, oh no, this is just one machine
03:30:57 <Ampera> I have another machine with 12 cores / 24 threads, and my desktop has 16 cores / 24 threads
03:31:21 <Ampera> This machine is my main compute server, so it holds the vast majority of the applications I host, including a database, webserver, reverse proxy, ZNC
03:36:08 <Nothing\> ah okay if it's a server you'll need lotsa cores
03:36:37 <Nothing\> didn't intel just release their new set of chips recently?
03:36:44 <Nothing\> or are getting ready to release them
03:37:11 <Ampera> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/310478241989263371/898972778726826064/Screenshot_398.png
03:38:03 <Nothing\> i've got i think 16 threads on this cpu
03:38:40 <Nothing\> ooh it's a 7nm process, i didn't know that
03:38:49 <Nothing\> ryzen... 3400 i think
03:38:55 <Nothing\> or 3500 i forget
03:39:06 <Nothing\> i believe it's the same one you've got, Ampera
03:39:48 <Nothing\> ah ryzen 5 3600
03:41:07 <Nothing\> says 12 cores, so i'm guessing that means 24 threads?
03:41:15 <Nothing\> at, i think 4400ghz
03:57:32 <Nothing\> aww poor kitty just threw up down the back of my couch
03:57:38 <Nothing\> and on my other cat
03:57:58 <Nothing\> it was weird. Just came out of nowhere. No wretching or anything.
03:58:20 <Nothing\> but at least he's doing alright now. Guess it was just some food that didn't sit right in his stomach.
04:00:20 <Nothing\> yay i have an instagram account now because i was forced into getting one just to look at a damn picture on the site
04:00:24 <Nothing\> :|
04:02:26 <rust_collector> ..........and you HAD TO see that picture...
04:15:23 <Nothing\> omg just thought of the best experiment ever
04:15:33 <Nothing\> i'm gonna characterize the inductance of a slinky
04:15:47 <Nothing\> rust_collector, yup.
04:16:22 <Nothing\> rust_collector, it's okay it was under my alias account which is literally the number pi with a couple of small changes to make it acceptable as an email address
04:16:38 <Nothing\> like google wouldn't let me start it with a 3, so i had to start with a c

04:49:33 <Nothing\> i'm reading this thing about the ISS and it says this
04:49:41 <Nothing\> Each wing is the largest ever deployed in space, weighing over 2,400 pounds and using nearly 33,000 solar arrays, each measuring 8-cm square with 4,100 diodes.
04:49:49 <Nothing\> about the solar arrays
04:51:17 <Nothing\> so my question is 2 fold, 1 why does the number of diodes in a solar panel matter, or is it because a solar panel is basically a diode that's meant to operate sort of reverse biased most effiriesn/y
04:51:19 <rust_collector> I wonder if they work better in space, than here. and how much
04:51:37 <Nothing\> and 2. why do 33,000 arrays only have 4,100 diodes?
04:51:44 <Nothing\> that's less than 1 diode per array
04:52:01 <rust_collector> or does each array have 4100....
04:52:26 <Nothing\> rust_collector, i'd imagine they probably get damaged by high energy particles that would normally be bloceu]uet by the atmosphere
04:52:37 <Nothing\> rust_collector, that thought had crossed my mind
04:52:57 <rust_collector> that is how I read it, anyway
04:53:25 <Nothing\> yeah, my way just doesn't make a lick of sense
04:53:53 <Nothing\> ah man, the dispensary got new $1 pre-rolls in today
04:54:49 <Nothing\> now instead of 12 or 17% half grams, they've got 21 or 22% and a full gram instead of half

05:33:14 <arch> so i found the issue yesterday with the nginx crapping out
05:33:33 <arch> turned out to be the default index.html. we don't need that crap in grav, since it's a php site and it comes with its own index.php
05:33:50 <arch> fix was just removing that index.html
05:34:08 <rust_collector> what is grav?
05:34:33 <arch> flat file CMS. it's good for small time bloggers, or for advertising sites or pages that are really lightweight
05:34:46 <rust_collector> oh
05:34:48 <arch> contains a very minimal php framework that processes markdown files
05:35:02 <arch> i used to run with PicoCMS, but it seems their development has been stalled since 2020
05:35:12 <arch> also i got tired of manually editing markdown
05:35:17 <arch> aint nobody got time fo dat
05:35:50 <arch> kinda like i dont feel like making hand crafted html/css sites. i know they can be cool, but i dont have energy for that
05:36:05 <arch> the effort to payout is very slim

06:37:47 <rust_collector> you got a bitcoin from pirrat bay?
06:37:57 <Nothing\> yeah
06:38:30 <rust_collector> hmm, I did not know you were like that
06:38:58 <electrohead> Nothing\: you get my messages?
06:39:22 <electrohead> also, you should start disabling javascript by default
06:39:26 <electrohead> you'll thank yourself later, lol
06:47:05 <Nothing\> grr
06:47:17 <Nothing\> i hate automatically generated news videos
06:48:07 <Nothing\> you know, the ones where there's no narration or anchor speaking. It's just some pictures and videos highlighted by a few sentences of information
06:48:15 <rust_collector> beats the normal news, I would think?
06:50:59 <Nothing\> nah, normal news at least has talking
06:51:05 <Nothing\> and resembles the news
06:52:07 <rust_collector> yeah, just without anything you need to know
06:53:15 <electrohead> Nothing\: did you get my messages?
06:54:07 <rust_collector> oh no, he will have keyboard face again
06:54:47 <Nothing\> electrohead, oh yeah so i did
06:54:48 <Nothing\> lemme see
06:56:46 <electrohead> ;)
07:00:58 <Nothing\> hrm
07:01:08 <Nothing\> which version of unreal tournament should i get
07:01:13 * electrohead offers pumpkin flavored beer
07:01:19 <electrohead> Nothing\: the latest?
07:01:24 <Nothing\> i remember 2k3 being best, but it's not on steam as far as i can tell
07:01:29 <Nothing\> but it has 2k4
07:01:39 <Nothing\> which i didn't even know existed
07:01:46 <Nothing\> unless that's what i'm thinking is 2k3
07:02:03 <Nothing\> electrohead, i wasn't a fan of unreal tournament 3
07:02:08 <Nothing\> actually hell
07:02:11 <Nothing\> i should get quake online
07:02:19 <Nothing\> it's a free version of quake 3
07:02:52 <Nothing\> or it was 10+ years ago
07:03:16 <Nothing\> ooh ishould just play tetris
07:03:56 <electrohead> lmao
07:04:11 <electrohead> I remember playing unreal back in vocational technical school
07:04:19 <Nothing\> heh
07:04:22 <electrohead> a bunch of us would stay after school on a friday, for like an extra 4 hours
07:04:27 <electrohead> playing unreal, and having fun
07:04:31 <electrohead> I miss being young :(
07:05:35 <Nothing\> you and me both
07:05:42 <Nothing\> sometimes enough it makes me want to cry
07:05:51 <Nothing\> not just being young, but the way the world was back then, too
07:06:02 <Nothing\> everything was better 10-20 years ago
07:06:14 <Nothing\> even people in general
07:07:21 <electrohead> it's life, though
07:07:22 <electrohead> cheers!
07:07:54 <Nothing\> my brother didn't have a drug problem, he had a wife and kids, i had a wife and a kid and my drug problem wasn't as bad, both of our mmental health problems were better. We both had active social lives, I actually had a family, and friends, and hung out with people, and could actually leave the house without having panic attacks
07:08:14 <Nothing\> i wasn't addicted physically to 2 different illicit drugs
07:08:21 <Nothing\> well, prescription really
07:08:32 <Nothing\> but they can be used as illicit substances
07:08:43 <Nothing\> in my case they're prescribed but addiction is addiction
07:08:53 <electrohead> and it's up to you, in order to get away from that
07:09:02 <Nothing\> it still devastates you and your life
07:09:11 <Nothing\> yeah i'm working on it
07:09:15 <Nothing\> very slowly
07:09:23 <Nothing\> sometimes i make progress, sometimes i don't
07:09:30 <Nothing\> sometimes the progress is backwards
07:09:42 <Nothing\> but one thing that never changes is i always keep trying
07:09:48 <electrohead> stop beating around the bush and take charge of your own life
07:09:57 <electrohead> like, completely
07:10:03 <Nothing\> i am
07:10:08 <electrohead> I lost too many people to addiction
07:10:11 <Nothing\> you just can't stop taking these drugs
07:10:16 <Nothing\> it's potentially lethal
07:10:24 <electrohead> eh, yea you can, just need to be smart about it
07:10:25 <Nothing\> you have taper off of them slowly
07:10:28 <electrohead> taper off over time
07:10:30 <Nothing\> exactly
07:10:32 <electrohead> lol
07:10:34 <Nothing\> and that's what i'm doing
07:10:37 <Nothing\> one drug at a time
07:10:41 <electrohead> so step it up :P
07:10:45 <Nothing\> little by little
07:10:54 <Nothing\> nah you don't want to go too fast
07:11:22 <rust_collector> with the list of stuff you have to slowly get off, you will not get old enough....
07:12:22 <Nothing\> nah
07:12:31 <Nothing\> i figured it'll take a few years, maybe 2
07:12:34 <Nothing\> 2 to 4
07:12:43 <Nothing\> but it'll happen
07:12:54 <Nothing\> it's just because you have to taper by percentages rather than a set dose
07:13:34 * electrohead strangles Nothing\ with his mouse cord
07:13:37 <rust_collector> right, that is like the "this battery will last forever" ads. the little text said (or at least long enough for you to forget we said that)
07:14:04 <rust_collector> nah, good luck, be good
07:21:01 <Nothing\> so for the methadone for example, i'm on 80mg and it's recommended to taper 10% per month
07:22:19 <rust_collector> heh,I was looking on my glass of vitamins this morning. and one pill has 1600% of the suggested daily dose, lol
07:23:04 <rust_collector> that seems a bit useless, imo
07:23:23 <Nothing\> rust_collector, water soluble vitamins just get peed out
07:24:06 <rust_collector> sure, but why go to 1600% ? just add more fillers?
07:26:52 <Nothing\> who knows

07:55:55 <Nothing\> that pacman game from a few years ago, pac-man 256
07:56:26 <Nothing\> https://store.steampowered.com/app/455400/PACMAN_256/
07:56:28 <EEVBot> [Title] - PAC-MAN 256 on Steam
07:56:28 <Nothing\> booyah
07:56:35 <Nothing\> and only $5 and change :D
07:56:49 <Nothing\> almost makes me regret spending $20 on pac-man 99 on my switch
07:57:02 <Nothing\> but pac-man 99 is a whole different beast
07:57:49 <Nothing\> oooh
07:58:07 <Nothing\> i already have a 4D maze game in my shopping cart on steam
07:58:23 <Nothing\> butyeah it's funny electrohead
08:00:24 <Nothing\> i haven't bought software legally since 1998 until maybe a year ago when i started buying steam games and games for my switch a couple years ago
08:00:38 <Nothing\> now i have over 100 games on the two platforms combined
08:03:08 <Nothing\> i keep buying games on steam because 1. it's safer. and 2. i'm entitled to updates and DLC and stuff like that
08:03:27 <electrohead> lol
08:03:42 <electrohead> I'm not much of a gamer anymore, that said though.. I literally just fired up a minecraft server
08:03:47 <Nothing\> i mean sure i can search for updates later on on BT but it's easier just having the game be highlgihted, thenmaugi a single cilck
08:03:50 <electrohead> in the mood to build and make shit
08:16:08 <jaymax> A couple hours ago I had the mood for but one substitution... s/build/eat/

08:39:11 <Nothing\> ah i finally get to play pacman 256
08:39:17 <Nothing\> after years of waiting
08:39:23 <Nothing\> and my consensus?
08:39:29 <Nothing\> i like tetris 99 better
08:39:43 <Nothing\> and pacman 99 was just confusing
08:40:37 <Nothing\> pacman 256 is at least intuitive. But I dunno how you turn pacman into a competitive fast paced multiplaer game

12:53:47 <Nothing\> ah just shaved my head
12:53:54 <Nothing\> nothing quit like a freshly shorn head
12:54:11 * steve30 needs a hair cut
12:54:27 <Nothing\> i just bought clippers and do it myself
12:54:57 <Nothing\> it makes an unholy mess, but considering a men's haircut here is $20-$25 the thing pays for itself after 2 uses
12:55:09 <jaymax> Sheesh
12:55:24 <steve30> i was going to get new ones but i just used my old ones
12:56:08 <Nothing\> as long as you keep em lubricated with a dab or two of mineral oil now and then they should last forever.
12:56:15 <Nothing\> i would imagine
12:56:18 <Nothing\> :P
12:56:21 <jaymax> $15 after tip here, but I find the old barber shops which tend to have the better value.
12:58:19 <steve30> the barber i went to for a couple of years was very good, and about £10.
12:58:33 <steve30> but i went back to doing it myself
12:58:58 <jaymax> No I lied - last time I went it was $20 after tip - IIRC their price was $16.
12:59:21 <Nothing\> oh snap i forgot i saved half of this joint
12:59:36 <Nothing\> also why does my mom's burnt popcorn keep smelling like good food
12:59:42 <Nothing\> the other day it smelled like pork and beans
12:59:49 <Nothing\> today it smells like some sort of bacon roast
13:00:32 <jaymax> "Kettle" cooked?

13:01:03 <jaymax> Gross then. :^D
13:02:18 <jaymax> I'm all about a bit of oil/grease/etc in the bottom of a heavy pot and popping the kernals from a bulk bag. Add butter once done.

14:41:04 <T3sl4> i need to do that again, most cipher suites supported by IIS7 are deprecated now
14:42:13 <T3sl4> pretty soon i'll have to finally kick win7 and load up apache on something

21:28:06 <Yspera> Halcyon, one thing I would miss though is lemon. I love the smell of lemon shower gel or simmilar. well, and fresh lemon of course.
21:29:00 <Yspera> steve30, I wonder what I should install on my old HP. I want to gift it to a friend of mine as she has no money to buy any kind of notebook. It was originally delivered with Vista, but win7 drivers don't work.
21:29:37 <steve30> I'd advise against Vista
21:29:48 <Yspera> I do as well xD
21:30:09 <steve30> 7 would probably be good as a lot of stuff still supports it (if you can get it to work)
21:30:27 <steve30> XP can still be surprisingly useful (to me at least)

21:33:21 <steve30> This Intel HD 2000 graphics seems to perform well
21:33:58 <Yspera> I consider using XP on that machine, yes. but that would mean that I need to install some kind of anti virus thing, which I hate.
21:34:12 * steve30 doesn't bother with anti virus
21:38:02 <Yspera> I don't as well
21:38:14 <Yspera> but said friend is not the ultra smartest, and she has a child as well
21:38:49 <Yspera> So I think it would be neccessary, especially since XP doesn't get any security fixes anymore
21:39:13 <steve30> i don;t know what people recommend for virus protection these days
21:42:18 * Ampera banishes Yspera to a long nap underneath the floorboards
21:43:12 <Ampera> someone please get off my own ass and make my morning tea for me
21:43:54 Nick: Yspera is now known as Ysdead

21:45:38 <Ampera> my microwave popcorn, Xeons, and massive pile of tea are coming in today
21:46:50 <Ysdead> No Xeon roasted chicken?
21:46:54 Nick: Ysdead is now known as Ysjoelfir
21:47:05 <Ampera> huh?
21:47:12 <steve30> i could probably do more food
21:47:21 * steve30 ponders a chicken kiev
21:47:27 <Ysjoelfir> don't tell me you don't know the sun commercials, ampera?
21:47:36 <Ampera> I haven't watched TV in years
21:47:44 <Ysjoelfir> i haven't either
21:47:49 <Ysjoelfir> those are from the prescott times
21:48:09 <Ampera> Intel Prescott?
21:48:21 <Ysjoelfir> yep
21:48:24 <Ampera> I think I'm starting to get the joke
21:48:46 <Ampera> hold on, do you have a chicken, I actually have a couple of Prescott Xeons in a server...
21:49:03 <Ampera> They can generously be described as overclocked Pentium 3's....

21:49:51 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: Sun Microsystems: The IT Guy - Episode #1
21:50:20 <Ysjoelfir> there are... i think five episodes of the IT guy
21:51:29 <steve30> oh my goodness
21:51:37 <Ampera> hahaha
21:51:55 <steve30> my mum is on the phone to someone, she was saying about her headaches being bad on monday/tuesday.... and there were really bad chemtrails in the sky on monday/tuesday.....
21:52:34 <Ampera> oh shit, I did not expect that to be an ad for an AMD server...
21:52:44 <Ampera> I didn't even know Sun still sold those while SPARC was definitely still a thing
21:53:39 <Ysjoelfir> wasn't that an ad series for (Ultra)SPARC? I can't remember
21:53:52 <Ysjoelfir> also steve30, you should consider explaining her what the chemtrails are
21:54:24 <Ampera> The thing at the end says "The New Industry Standard x64 Server", and has a logo for AMD64 on it
21:54:32 <Ysjoelfir> oh
21:54:42 <Ysjoelfir> nice, an opteron server!
21:54:49 * Ysjoelfir likes opterons
21:54:56 <Ampera> I have a dual opteron server from around that time too
21:55:04 <Ampera> IBM just like the Prescott Xeon one
21:56:16 <steve30> Apparently there were other Telegram users on Monday/tuesday also complaining about the chemtrails being bad
21:56:26 <Ysjoelfir> My first multi core system was a dual AMD Opteron 265. So I had more than 2 cores when dual core CPUs juuuust entered the home market. Damn I was so proud back than, having saved up four years for the system
21:56:42 <Ysjoelfir> even had 16 gigs of ECC Registered RAM
21:56:47 <Ampera> damn son
21:56:54 <steve30> Ysjoelfir, If I explain about jet engine related water vapour, I might get accused of being brainwashed by engineering/science, so I'll keep my mouth shut.

21:57:12 <Ysjoelfir> oooof steve30. then better don't ^^
21:57:38 <Ysjoelfir> Ampera yep. it was so cool. I enjoyed it a lot
21:57:56 <Ysjoelfir> still looking for the mainboard to rebuild the system for nostalgic reasons
21:58:16 <Ampera> I do have a dual slot P2 system
21:58:27 <Ampera> which is the oldest multi-CPU machine I have
21:58:50 <Ampera> well, unless you count the C128, but that doesn't count as you can't use both at once
21:59:02 <Ysjoelfir> my oldest one is a dual slot 1 with 2 Tualatin Slotkets and 2 P3 1.2GHz
21:59:13 <Ampera> Although, the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis is a dual CPU system that does allow you to use both at once
21:59:27 <Ampera> hahaha nice
21:59:32 <Ampera> that's an insane setup and I approve
22:00:09 <Ysjoelfir> it is. it has a Voodoo 3 SLI with a PowerVR Kyro 2 and IIRC 1 Gig of RAM. I want to watercool the thing as well.
22:00:31 <Ampera> Voodoo 3 SLI?
22:00:56 <Ysjoelfir> or was it voodoo 2? i can't remember which ones the classic SLI voodoos were
22:00:57 <Ampera> I wasn't aware the Voodoo 3 had boards with exposed SLI
22:01:00 <Ampera> Voodoo 2
22:01:06 <Ysjoelfir> thani t was voodoo 2
22:01:13 <Ampera> I have two Voodoo 2's in my collection, but even with hacked drivers, they can't do SLI
22:01:26 <Ysjoelfir> why that?
22:01:39 <Ampera> Very different manufacture, one has 12MB and the other 8MB
22:01:57 <Ampera> there's modern hacked drivers that are supposed to allow SLI with mismatched RAM, but it didn't work for me
22:03:50 <Ysjoelfir> oh ok. I think both of mine had 12MB, but one is a diamond and the other one is a...... erm..... can't remember
22:03:59 <Ysjoelfir> one has cute green heatsinks, the other doesn't
22:18:04 <steve30> So, now my mum has said something about not trusting pharmaceuticals, but yet she takes liothyronine which she obtains from a foreign pharmacy over the internet.
22:18:13 <steve30> People are strange.
22:55:04 <steve30> On the subject of my mother, i wonder if her Shungite is working.
22:55:28 <Ysjoelfir> what is that?
22:55:47 <steve30> carbon (+ a few other bits)
22:55:57 <Ysjoelfir> oh.
22:56:06 <electrohead> o/

23:18:29 <Ampera> in the event the sfxge driver in FreeBSD never gets fixed, I've bought a qlogic 10GbE NIC, and will use the old NIC to build a switch
23:18:57 <Ampera> maybe, I'd actually have to buy a second NIC for a switch I've just realized...
23:19:35 <Ysjoelfir> I sometimes wonder if there is a use for the five spare intel 10/100/1000 dual NICs I have flopping around in the modern world...
23:19:46 <Ampera> probably not
23:19:56 <Ampera> besides just sticking them in computers for more ethernets
23:27:07 <Ysjoelfir> which raises the question - why would you?
23:31:53 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - I just discovered by accident that you can press ? on a youtube video and it pops up with all the keyboard shortcuts. I'm a noob, obviously.
23:36:41 <DHess_US> computers make fine routers
23:36:59 <Ampera> yeah it'd make a good router
23:37:01 <DHess_US> load it up with opnsense and go
23:37:05 <DHess_US> It's what I do
23:37:06 Join: Guest69 ([email protected]) to #eevblog
23:38:12 <Ampera> I'm currently reconsidering my decision to use OpenBSD for my new router, as I've gotten so used to networking in FreeBSD, OpenBSD might not be worth it
23:39:22 <DHess_US> And those Dual NICs can be used to double the speed of the links if you double the number of cables.
23:40:16 <Ysjoelfir> sounds like a low cost 10G solution as I have five of those
23:42:25 <+electrohead> o/
23:42:27 <Ampera> I mean you'd need 10, and two machines with 5 PCIe slots
23:42:30 <Ampera> but sure, low cost
23:42:51 <Ysjoelfir> my router has 10 (iirc?) gigabit ports, so.... :P
23:42:53 * Ampera passes electrohead some breakfast tea
23:42:54 <Ysjoelfir> hi mr. head
23:43:09 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, yeah but those are switched, so you wouldn't get 10GbE anything
23:43:24 <Ysjoelfir> pfff
23:43:29 <Ysjoelfir> what do I know xD
23:43:41 <Ampera> how to speak german
23:43:46 <+electrohead> lol
23:43:53 <Ysjoelfir> yes, and not much beyond that.
23:43:55 <+electrohead> morning guys
23:44:10 <Ampera> it's one up on me
23:44:14 <Ampera> electrohead, you smell like fish
23:44:17 <Ampera> I like that smell
23:44:22 <Ysjoelfir> electrohead, you smell like beer
23:44:25 <Ysjoelfir> I like that smell
23:44:29 <Ampera> I hate the smell of beer
23:44:35 <Ampera> and I hate people who like the smell of beer
23:44:38 <Ysjoelfir> I hate the smell of (old) fish
23:44:38 <Ampera> therefore I hate electrohead
23:46:04 Kick: Ampera was kicked by electrohead (Hating is not allowed, mmkay)

23:47:12 <electrohead> good.
23:47:29 <Ysjoelfir> yep
23:47:37 * Ysjoelfir winds the hand cranked camera
23:47:57 * Ampera winds electrohead's hand "crank"
23:48:02 <Ysjoelfir> xD
23:48:24 <electrohead> it's not that big, good luck
23:49:15 <Ampera> Don't worry, I'm good at finding things people wished they didn't have
23:51:03 <electrohead> lol
23:54:39 <steve30> We should install CCTV
23:55:52 <Ampera> cute cock television?
23:55:55 <Ampera> I agree
23:55:58 <Ampera> but Halcyon might get mad
