00:58:47 <Ampera> hey arch, you were talking about thinkpads earlier, did you see the one I've ordered?
01:01:51 <electrohead> o/
01:01:57 <Ysjoelfir> mornings mr. head
01:01:57 * Ampera hugs electrohead
01:02:02 <Ampera> how are you doing sparkplug?
01:02:32 <electrohead> mournings. \o/
01:02:37 <electrohead> good, I took the day off, today
01:02:53 <Ampera> nice
01:02:57 <Ampera> first day off at your new job?
01:03:37 <Ysjoelfir> electrohead, did you get the thing or did customs drink all the beer?
01:03:59 <electrohead> first day that I took off, yeah
01:04:07 <Ampera> electrohead, do you know anything about hardware security keys
01:04:09 <electrohead> for a personal day
01:04:17 <electrohead> Ysjoelfir: didn't get it yet, lmao
01:04:24 <electrohead> Ampera: I have quite a few, including one for work
01:04:41 <Ampera> lemme ask you a few questions then, because I want one, but none of them seem to do exactly what I want.
01:05:09 <electrohead> I admit, there's a lot I don't know, but that said, I'm actually in the current process of setting up a smart card for local login capability for both my two main personal laptops, and jenkins
01:05:13 <electrohead> ok, shoot
01:05:16 <Ampera> What I want is a central physical place to store my private keys, primarily for GPG/OpenPGP, OpenSSH, and for TLS client auth
01:05:42 <electrohead> Java card comes to mind
01:06:04 <Ampera> I ideally want something that can, instead of just letting the computer read the key, handle all challenges necessary
01:06:18 <electrohead> "handle all changes mecessary?
01:06:21 <electrohead> What do you mean?
01:06:30 <Ampera> challenges
01:07:03 <electrohead> oh , duh
01:07:06 <Ampera> for OpenSSH, for instance, a random number is encrypted with my public auth key, and gets decrypted, hashed, and returned.
01:07:09 <electrohead> read that wrong, I'm still waking up, my bad
01:07:23 <Ampera> I'd like a key that can do that on the card, so my SSH keys never have to leave the card/key
01:08:24 <electrohead> hrmm
01:08:32 <electrohead> I imagine you have heard of the yubikey devices, yes?
01:08:45 <Ampera> Here's the next caveat, the key storage space must be functionally infinite.
01:08:54 <Ampera> Like, so large I'd never be able to use it all.
01:09:10 <Ampera> The yubikey devices seem to fail on that front, though their documentation is so crap, they don't actually say
01:09:50 <electrohead> well I know you can utilize opensc with most of the yubikey devices
01:09:55 <electrohead> so that's why that came to mind
01:09:59 <electrohead> storage wise, hrmm
01:10:07 <electrohead> I've thought about that myself, in the past
01:10:30 <Ampera> What's more is SSH auth on yubi seems to be based off FIDO2, and by my guess is just a fancy way of encrypting the key, instead of actually enrolling the key itself onto the device
01:12:02 <Ampera> I've looked at smartcards, but they have a similar issue of limited space, at least for the ones I've seen.
01:12:10 <Ampera> I don't know how much java cards can store, I haven't looked into them
01:12:14 <electrohead> https://github.com/jamesog/yubikey-ssh
01:12:16 <EEVBot> [Title] - GitHub - jamesog/yubikey-ssh: How to use a Yubikey with OpenSSH without GPG
01:12:18 <electrohead> take a look at that
01:12:32 <electrohead> I've had this saved for some time, now
01:12:38 <electrohead> eventually I want to do something similar
01:13:07 <electrohead> and I literally have 10+ tabs open right now, just about smart cards and such, from my current adventures with SAML and jenkins
01:13:18 <electrohead> so, now you have given me something else to look into
01:13:20 <electrohead> thanks, lol
01:13:25 <Ampera> Report back what you find
01:13:52 <Ampera> My main concern is I want to be able to store at least 500-1000 unique keys on this thing GPG and OpenSSH
01:14:09 <Ampera> All other concerns are pretty much secondary, including anything concerning OTP/2FA
01:14:45 <Ampera> ideally I'd look into a dedicated device for TOTP, one where I can backup the seeds into a bank vault.
01:15:43 <arch> Ampera, i did not see the one you ordered. what model is it
01:16:03 <Ampera> arch, https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadt/thinkpad-t15g-gen-2-(15-inch-intel)/20ys001sus
01:16:04 <EEVBot> [Title] - Access Denied
01:16:43 <arch> fucks sake $2.2k for a socketed cpu laptop. nty
01:16:51 <arch> 2.6k i mean
01:17:06 <Ampera> you're an idiot arch, but I love you
01:17:50 <Ampera> They do not make modern business grade laptops with socketed CPUs, and the benefit of a socketed CPU is usually quite minimal
01:18:27 <Ampera> Even on laptops that had socketed CPUs, during their lifetime, the upgrade options were usually pathetic and expensive
01:18:43 <Ampera> This is one of the most expandable business class laptops that exist
01:18:57 <arch> well, if im paying half the price of a decent used car, i'd better get that "quite minimal" functionality. the CPU is one of the most expensive parts of a laptop, along with dedicated graphics. both better be modular/removable
01:18:59 <Ampera> The only thing that would be sort of nice is an MXM GPU, but those are a dying breed too
01:19:29 <Ampera> Just because something is expensive doesn't mean it'll suck your dick too.
01:19:36 <Ampera> The market is the market, and for the money, this is an excellent laptop
01:20:12 <arch> whatever makes you sleep better at night knowing you spent $2.6k for a non-upgradable machine...
01:20:28 <Ampera> I can't buy an upgradeable machine new though
01:20:41 <Ampera> not unless it's some cheap alienware piece of crap that will shatter into a million pieces if you look at it the wrong way
01:21:04 <Ampera> and you can replace literally everything on this laptop besides the CPU and GPU.
01:22:36 <DHess_US> Ampera, might as well ask why CPUs are socketted at all in any system.
01:23:03 <Ampera> because on a desktop you actually have upgrade options and a choice of mainboard.
01:23:10 <Ampera> stuff that actually matters
01:23:16 <DHess_US> Because inventory control.
01:23:57 <DHess_US> Nobody wants to stock several different motherboards with different combinations of CPU and RAM, so the CPUs and RAM are socketted so that they can be mixed and matched with the motherboards.
01:24:15 <DHess_US> Which points to why Apple does not grade their CPUs.
01:24:28 <DHess_US> They can't, unless they socket them.
01:24:41 <Ampera> Factual and decent point
01:24:50 <arch> the cpu is listed as $395. the RTX3080 mobile, let's assume it's the same price. you've got $800 to lose if something really simple happens to the motherboard, maybe a burnt buck mosfet. that's almost 1/3rd the cost you COULD have saved if you got a socketed board.
01:25:02 <arch> reused*
01:25:18 <Ampera> I have a 2 year parts and labor warranty on it, which is half the reason you'd buy from Lenovo
01:25:31 <Ampera> I'd also expect almost anything else /but/ the GPU/CPU to break.
01:25:38 <DHess_US> The number of people who upgrade or salvage CPUs from a system is too small to be a significant factor.
01:26:21 <Ampera> and again, I'm not disagreeing with your arguments, I'm saying they're irrelevant.
01:26:34 <Ampera> You can demand whatever you want, if you can't buy it you're shit out of luck.
01:26:55 <DHess_US> I'd say power supplies are the most common failure, followed by GPUs.
01:27:29 <Ampera> and to me, having a reliable and sturdy laptop from a trusted manufacturer with good service policies is far more important to me than making sure I can replace a CPU I will never care to replace.
01:27:33 <DHess_US> GPUs often have poor thermal margins.
01:28:11 <Ampera> That's true, though I'd imagine laptop GPUs would be more capable of fine thermal and power management than desktop parts.
01:28:15 <DHess_US> Eh, if I had spent what I spent on my last laptop, which failed a couple months out of warranty, I could have had 3 x Athon small form factor systems which didn't fail.
01:28:31 <Ampera> I also intend to have this laptop docked most of the time on an active fan base
01:28:46 <DHess_US> Laptops are not very reliable compared to desktops when you consider that desktops can be repairs and laptops cannot.
01:29:10 <DHess_US> Which just highlights that laptops are unreliable because of inadaquate thermal design.
01:29:16 <Ampera> Indeed, however laptops exist for a very simple reason.
01:29:27 <Ampera> I can pick up that thinkpad with one hand and stick it in a backpack.
01:29:29 <DHess_US> Because desktops are too heavy to lug around.
01:29:33 <Ampera> I can't do that with a desktop, no matter how small I make it
01:29:49 <DHess_US> But you could spend what you spent on a laptop, and buy two better desktops.
01:30:01 <arch> word
01:30:22 <Ampera> Not really. This laptop is actually quite similar to what I spent on my desktop, and in a lot of ways is far superior to it.
01:30:32 <DHess_US> Plus those fucking terrible laptop keyboards ...
01:30:59 <DHess_US> If I wanted chicklet keys, I would buy a CoCo.
01:31:03 <Ampera> My desktop cost around 2.6k, and has a much worse GPU, less M.2 slots, and arguably worse I/O
01:31:25 <Ampera> I don't intend to use the laptop keyboard unless I bring it places. The whole point of a desktop replacement is I can bring my desktop with me where I go.
01:31:36 <DHess_US> coco for those who were not alive then, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80_Color_Computer
01:31:37 <Ampera> The only real thing I'm giving up is about half my cores which I never use anyways.
01:31:37 <EEVBot> [Title] - TRS-80 Color Computer - Wikipedia
01:31:44 <Ampera> I know what a CoCo is
01:32:23 <DHess_US> I couldn't buy a laptop as good as my desktop for any price.
01:32:34 <DHess_US> And my desktop was a lot cheaper than 2.6k
01:32:41 <DHess_US> But I built my own from parts.
01:32:44 <Ampera> Quite likely, but what is good about a computer is subjective.
01:32:48 <Ampera> I built mine from parts too.
01:33:08 <DHess_US> Hardest thing to find was a case.
01:33:09 <Ampera> I did before all of the market went to hell too, so this is pre-recession pricing
01:33:26 Join: Nothing\ (~Shmendrick@cpe9050ca20a183-cm9050ca20a180.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) to #eevblog
01:33:32 <Ampera> that being said, I built it from the ground up, and there were some parts that were a lot more expensive then than they are now, like RAM and especially NVMe storage.
01:33:38 <Nothing\> so, i just got a great idea to get my phone to stop spying on me
01:33:41 <Nothing\> at least visually
01:33:43 <Ampera> I think I spent 200 bucks more on my SSD than a nicer one from Samsung would cost now.
01:33:55 <DHess_US> 64G of DDR4 ECC RAM in mine.
01:33:57 * Ampera gives Nothing\ a sticker
01:33:59 <Nothing\> at least once an hour, i put my anus in front of the camera for at least a minute
01:34:06 <Ampera> Mine's 64GB of DDR4, though it's not ECC
01:34:13 <Nothing\> ECC?
01:34:22 <Nothing\> that's a bit old and obscure isn't it?
01:34:22 <DHess_US> I didn't install 128G because I couldn't get it in ECC.
01:34:31 <Nothing\> you really are a motorola fanboy
01:34:36 <Nothing\> no wait
01:34:38 <Ampera> Error Correcting Code, it can correct bitflips caused typically by radiation.
01:34:39 <Nothing\> i'm thinking of ECL
01:34:44 <Nothing\> emitter coupled logic
01:34:46 <Nothing\> lol
01:35:10 <Nothing\> which is an extremely obscure logic family, motorola implemented it in their 10000 series of chips
01:35:24 <Nothing\> i somehow came upon a pdf of a databook for them
01:36:20 <Nothing\> i should really read up on what the advantages were over TTL because compared to TTL ECL chips were incredibly complicated
01:36:30 <Ampera> For me, I intend to do a lot more traveling in 2022, so having a powerful computer I can bring with me and use for or at work is important.
01:36:57 <Nothing\> Ampera, i must be really tired because i thought you meant time traveling
01:36:58 <Ampera> Our work computers are also typically insanely locked down, so having my own machine is a great quality of life improvement.
01:37:22 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
01:37:28 <Ampera> you rapscallion
01:37:37 * Nothing\ scrugs Ampera
01:37:37 <DHess_US> Things I want in a laptop: matte screen, real keyboard, ethernet port
01:37:50 <Nothing\> i prefer tatterdemalion, but that works too
01:37:58 <Nothing\> actually i literally am a tatterdemalion
01:38:07 <Ampera> I think I have at least 2 of those, keyboard depends on what you define as real
01:38:09 <Nothing\> i'm like a cartoon character, i wear the same clothes every single day
01:38:18 <Nothing\> well, on the days where i do wear clothes
01:38:32 <Nothing\> seriously, i've worn the same shirt every day for no less than 7 years
01:38:57 <Nothing\> i noticed yesterday the back is worn so thin that it's completely transparent lol
01:39:06 <DHess_US> real keyboards use mechanical springs and have cupped keys.
01:39:18 <Nothing\> it's not that i don't have any other shirts. I just really REALLY like this one
01:39:33 <Nothing\> plus it's the only button up shirt i have that isn't literally shredded from being worn too much
01:39:45 <Nothing\> button ups really aren't as rugged as t-shirts
01:39:48 <arch> DHess_US, you would probably find the T420 series to be the last, relatively modern laptop with a real keyboard
01:39:52 <Ampera> DHess_US, I'm typing on one now.
01:39:56 <arch> ThinkPad T420
01:39:59 <Ampera> however that laptop wouldn't be it
01:40:31 <Ampera> For me I want a well rounded laptop that has a bit of everything. CPU, GPU, storage, RAM, I/O
01:40:37 <Nothing\> argh
01:40:59 <Nothing\> i watched that stupid scene from beteljuice the other day and now i've had the calypso stuck in my head ever since
01:41:11 <Nothing\> assuming that's the name of the song and not the dance associated with it
01:41:12 * Nothing\ shrugs
01:41:29 <arch> T420 with Quadro NVS4200, 1x mSATA, 1x SSD in the HDD bay, 1x SSD in the CDROM bay
01:41:35 <Nothing\> it's really not a stupid scene. I just have a stupid brain
01:41:44 <Nothing\> arch: must be nice to have an HDD bay
01:41:51 <Nothing\> my case is such a piece of shit
01:42:00 <Nothing\> especially for a $2,000 computer
01:42:07 <Nothing\> 0 drive bays
01:42:18 <Nothing\> just some little box in the bottom that holds a single SSD
01:42:28 <Ampera> My hard drives are in my servers.
01:42:36 <Nothing\> i had to slide my HDD underneath the SSD in the hollow of said box
01:42:52 <Ampera> storage server can hold 20 SFF disks and my compute can hold 8 LFF
01:43:02 <Nothing\> and on the inside of the computer, it's built so the power supply blocks ALL of the expansion ports of the motherboard
01:43:05 <Ampera> my compute can also hold around 8 or so NVMe SSDs, storage can hold a couple
01:43:11 <Ampera> at least without PCIe switches
01:43:22 <Nothing\> i dunno what it is with me getting computers i can't upgrade
01:43:32 <Nothing\> or that are severely limited in how i can upgrade them
01:44:26 <DHess_US> Lol, can tell when desktop is done with background tasks because the noise level decreases.
01:44:26 <Ampera> You need to learn more about computing in general.
01:44:28 <Ampera> It's painful to watch.
01:44:41 <Nothing\> Ampera, i knew lots about computing
01:44:45 <Nothing\> 20 years ago
01:44:52 <Nothing\> that's my problem
01:45:02 <Nothing\> i spent almost 10 years with absolutely no experience what so ever
01:45:18 <Nothing\> i mean i used a computer but not in any meaningful way
01:45:40 <Nothing\> and didn't keep up with the latest changes and stuff like EFIs snuck up on me
01:46:37 <Nothing\> but anyways Ampera what do you think i'm doing presently?
01:46:48 <Nothing\> why do you think i've been talking about it and asking so many questions?
01:46:55 <Nothing\> can't learn otherwise
01:47:13 <Nothing\> well... before the internet you couldn't anyway
01:47:35 <Nothing\> which makes me really surprised there's more misinformation now than there was back then
01:48:01 <Ampera> Questions should help you figure out how to learn.
01:48:18 <Nothing\> you'd think with people having the ability to look up any and all answers to contentious arguments we'd have less misinformation
01:48:20 <Ampera> My honest suggestion is if you really want to get good at computing, learn how to put a Linux system together and take it apart again.
01:48:31 <Nothing\> Ampera, why linux?
01:48:33 <Ampera> That's sort of how I got here.
01:48:37 <Nothing\> liunx is useless for my needs
01:48:39 <Ampera> because you can't take Windows apart and put it back together again.
01:48:47 <Ampera> it's very likely not.
01:48:52 <Nothing\> if linux was useful for me, i would have stuck with it after using it for 2 years
01:48:56 <Ampera> There are only a couple things I can think of that Linux is useless for.
01:49:03 <Nothing\> Ampera, gaming
01:49:06 <Ampera> you were using Linux without experience or knowledge of how to use it on a raspbery pi.
01:49:08 <Nothing\> video editing
01:49:14 <Ampera> I can run every single game in my Steam library on Linux.
01:49:24 <Ampera> which is I think over a hundred, with more working every day.
01:49:27 <Nothing\> Ampera, i think i had plenty of time to get experience using it for 2 years
01:49:43 <Ampera> then you should know that your use cases are well and adequately covered on Linux
01:49:48 <Nothing\> Ampera, i'm not saying there are no games for linux
01:49:53 <Ampera> DaVinci Resolve, kdenlive, and blender are all great options.
01:50:01 <Nothing\> i'm saying the amount of games for linux is less than what is available on windows
01:50:03 <Ampera> Nothing\, https://www.protondb.com/
01:50:06 <Ampera> actually it's not
01:50:16 <Ampera> because Linux is far more capable of Windows than running older and backlog titles
01:50:29 <Ampera> while still having good and improving support for newer titles.
01:50:33 <Nothing\> Ampera, if it's not then i guarantee the process for running them is a lot more difficult
01:50:37 <Ampera> Not really.
01:50:38 <Nothing\> and DON'T say binaries
01:50:43 <Nothing\> because binaries are bullshit
01:50:50 <Ampera> I just download the game off Steam, and it usually just works.
01:50:56 <Nothing\> you get any problem with them and they're garbage
01:51:05 <Ampera> Downloading binaries directly is a dumb idea.
01:51:06 <Nothing\> and 9 out of 10 times i've had problems with them
01:51:13 <Ampera> That works on Windows, that is NOT how you do it on Linux
01:51:14 <Ampera> EVER
01:51:19 <Ampera> That's how you destroy linux installs
01:51:32 <Nothing\> why
01:51:50 <Ampera> why what
01:52:06 <Ampera> you just said 9 times out of 10 you've had problems with them
01:52:07 <Ampera> that's why
01:52:25 <Nothing\> right but why did i have so many problems with them?
01:52:31 <Ampera> just grabbing random binaries off the web and trying to use them rarely works as you intend it, and if you use a provided installer, it can likely mess up and even destroy your install
01:52:41 <Ampera> because that's just not how you do it on Linux
01:52:45 <Nothing\> what is it about installing binaries first as you said, that makes them so inherently destructive
01:52:48 <Nothing\> as you put it
01:52:56 <Ampera> Because every distro does things differently.
01:53:04 <Ampera> Stuff is stored in different directories, and there are different shared libraries.
01:53:08 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah but why? what specifically limits you from doing this in linux?
01:53:21 <Ampera> On Windows, most software ships with the dependencies it needs, and installs itself in a commonly agreed location.
01:53:22 <Nothing\> what about linux is different from windows that makes this an issue?
01:53:31 <Ampera> On Linux, there is no commonly agreed location, and almost all libraries are shared between software.
01:53:54 <Ampera> Most Linux distros operate through binary repositories maintained by the distro full of 99% of the software you will ever need.
01:54:12 <Nothing\> Ampera, right but most utilities for installing binaries nowadays include required packages before the software you're installing
01:54:12 <Ampera> How to gain access to the 1% (which is usually ultra obscure or hard to come by software nobody uses anymore) depends on the distro.
01:54:16 <jaymax> There is a workaround for that problem though - AppImage, FlatPak or Snaos.
01:54:18 <Ampera> No they don't.
01:54:27 <Nothing\> Ampera, well isn't that a bit of a flaw then?
01:54:30 <Ampera> AppImage works, but it's irritating to install and maintain.
01:54:31 <Ampera> It's not.
01:54:35 <Nothing\> why not?
01:54:41 * electrohead waves at Nothing\ and jaymax
01:54:42 <Ampera> because package management systems deal with all that mess, and better than it works on Windows.
01:54:53 <Ampera> Snaps are fucking garbage and should die, along with Docker.
01:55:11 <Nothing\> if it prevents you from easily installing a program with a binary instead of having to go to the trouble of compiling source code that seems like a bit of a disadvantage
01:55:15 <jaymax> Added it for completeness - I have my bias with Snaps too
01:55:21 <Nothing\> and i mean, why even have binaries if they have all of these disadvantages?
01:55:22 <Ampera> Nothing\, I never said compiling source code
01:55:24 <Ampera> package managers supply binaries.
01:55:37 <Ampera> however, they supply binaries compiled or supplied by maintainers or community members of your distro.
01:55:40 <Nothing\> but that's still binaries
01:55:52 <Ampera> It is, but I also said just downloading binaries off the web
01:56:08 <Nothing\> i never said i was just downloading binaries off the web
01:56:14 <Ampera> which is how you'd do it on Windows. If I wanted <program> I'd go to <program>.tld, download installer.exe, and install it.
01:56:15 <Nothing\> i never downloaded binaries off the web
01:56:18 <Nothing\> ever
01:56:32 <Ampera> That's what I thought you meant.
01:56:37 <Nothing\> nope
01:56:40 <Nothing\> miscommunication
01:56:42 <Ampera> I almost never have to compile software I use.
01:56:46 <Nothing\> it's all good, at least i learned some stuff
01:56:59 <Nothing\> even if it wasn't relevant, i'm always happy to learn
01:56:59 <Ampera> the thing is, you also used Linux on a Raspberry Pi, which has a lot less support than Linux on a PC
01:57:09 <Nothing\> yeha i understad that
01:57:16 <Nothing\> i've also used linux outside of a pi though
01:57:18 <Ampera> I can count on one hand how many times I've installed a package and it didn't work at all.
01:57:26 <Nothing\> which is when i decided it wasn't for me
01:57:27 <jaymax> Nothing\ look for AppImage or FlatPak - it won't update by itself but that is the primary edge case for why people like it.
01:57:32 <Nothing\> long before pis even existed
01:57:37 <Ampera> Don't, AppImage is bad practice.
01:57:49 <Nothing\> Ampera, oh no wait
01:57:55 <Ampera> It's the Windows way grafted onto Linux. Native package management is /always/ the way to go
01:57:59 <Ampera> unless you literally have no other choice.
01:58:02 <Nothing\> sorry, you CAN run just as much stuff on linux as windows
01:58:05 <Nothing\> i almost forgot
01:58:13 <Nothing\> the universal answer everybody gives to that question
01:58:16 <Nothing\> you know it
01:58:18 <Ampera> if you mean VMs, I almost never use my Windows VMs
01:58:19 <Nothing\> it's on the tip of your tongue
01:58:25 <Nothing\> nope, but close
01:58:27 <Ampera> WINE is meh
01:58:31 <Ampera> I rarely use it, outside of Proton
01:58:33 <Nothing\> haha there ya go
01:58:36 <electrohead> I've had nothing but issues with those snap things, never used flatpak or appimage, have fiddled with docker in the past, and currently transitioning my docker sh'tuff to libvirt
01:58:45 <electrohead> wine can bl*w me
01:58:47 <electrohead> lol
01:58:48 <Nothing\> honestly every time i tried to use WINE it was just a headache that didn't run shit
01:59:02 <Nothing\> i'm sure it was something i was doing but still
01:59:11 <Ampera> It really isn't all that necessary these days. At least not in my experience.
01:59:16 <electrohead> I've had similar issues with wine, therefore that's why I said what I said
01:59:18 <Ampera> No, WINE is a nightmare.
01:59:18 <jaymax> What is the intended program Nothing\? Too much here for me to find in scrollback.
01:59:20 <Nothing\> they shoulda let steve jobs have a crack at wine
01:59:28 <Nothing\> he woulda given it a nice unity type gui
01:59:31 <Ampera> jaymax, there isn't any, this is a generic conversation.
01:59:32 <electrohead> lol
01:59:38 <jaymax> SHEESH
01:59:51 <Nothing\> dammit
02:00:06 <Nothing\> i just got the overworld music for final fantasy 1 stuck in my head
02:00:09 <Nothing\> now i must buy it
02:00:10 * electrohead hands jaymax coffee
02:00:16 <Nothing\> but i don't get paid till friday
02:00:24 <Ampera> Nothing\, Linux is how you really get to understand your computer and know how it's put together on a software and even hardware level.
02:00:28 <Nothing\> actually my money's already going to that new metroid game
02:00:54 <electrohead> Nothing\: do you have a dedicated linux machine?
02:00:58 <Nothing\> Ampera, so does building a computer on breadboards
02:00:59 <Ampera> You can not believe me or have your own opinion all you want, but I've used Linux for years, and the number of programs that I care about and couldn't get working on Linux stands at exactly 0
02:01:07 <Nothing\> electrohead, nope, never had a use for one
02:01:14 <jaymax> To each their own. If distro packages are a bad fit for the usecase, then AppImage/FlatPak is a decent choice (despite haters). I generally don't step outside distro packages, but that's me - I can understnad the other argument.
02:01:14 <Nothing\> i've tried it, made my decision
02:01:34 <electrohead> you'd fall in love eventually, I know you will lol
02:01:35 <Ampera> AppImage has its uses, but I think they're limited.
02:01:38 <Ampera> Snap is just disgusting.
02:01:55 <Nothing\> Ampera, i'll be honest i appreciate the effort and all but this is something i'm stuck with
02:02:11 <Nothing\> plus there's the fact that technically this is my mum's computer
02:02:12 <electrohead> Ampera: I tried using snap not too long ago, I literally wanted to through this computer across the room, since fucking *nothing* worked
02:02:20 <Ampera> Unless you try /really/ hard, I am absolutely sure you will never be proficient at computing without Linux.
02:02:23 <Ampera> It's literally the way of the world.
02:02:28 <Ampera> More computers run Linux than don't.
02:02:30 <Nothing\> Ampera, for legal reasons, you understand
02:02:49 <Nothing\> Ampera, not if servers didn't exist
02:02:58 <Ampera> Servers aren't the chief use case for Linux.
02:03:03 <Ampera> Smartphones and embedded devices are.
02:03:13 <Nothing\> yeah i was gonna say, embedded devices
02:03:15 <electrohead> Nothing\: part of me wants to send you a raspberry pi just so you can play with linux :P
02:03:16 <Nothing\> but smart phones?
02:03:27 <Nothing\> i guess android's based on linux now that i think on it, isn't it?
02:03:29 <Ampera> I think Android is the most commonly installed OS distribution of any sort installed in the world.
02:03:34 <Nothing\> huh
02:03:39 <Nothing\> lemme ask you something
02:03:44 <Ampera> Android was always Linux based.
02:03:45 <Nothing\> if android's supposed to be linux
02:03:51 <electrohead> yeah, android is based on linux
02:03:56 <Nothing\> why the hell is there 0 option for file management on it
02:04:01 <Ampera> There is though
02:04:02 <Ampera> plenty
02:04:04 <Nothing\> like, i can't even fucking VIEW my files
02:04:09 <Ampera> of course you can
02:04:11 <Nothing\> nevermind actually do anything with them
02:04:14 <Nothing\> how? with what?
02:04:15 <Ampera> of course you can
02:04:17 <Ampera> I do all the time
02:04:26 <Ampera> dozens of file manager apps with all sorts of functionality
02:04:27 <Ampera> one sec
02:04:28 <Nothing\> i've never seen a file manager come with any version of android i ever had
02:04:40 <Nothing\> Ampera, oh yeah, third party ones sure
02:04:42 <Ampera> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alphainventor.filemanager&hl=en_US&gl=US
02:04:44 <EEVBot> [Title] - File Manager - Apps on Google Play
02:04:45 <Ampera> so?
02:04:46 <Nothing\> anyone can write a file manager
02:04:54 <Nothing\> but why doesn't one actually COME WITH THE OS
02:04:57 <Ampera> My file manager on my desktop is third party and individual selected.
02:05:00 <Nothing\> i mean, that's just common sense
02:05:03 <Ampera> Some do, my phone has one that came with the OS.
02:05:04 <electrohead> Nothing\: have you ever enabled the terminal via the settings?
02:05:17 <Ampera> Aye, you can also get access to an ADB shell over USB
02:05:26 <Nothing\> electrohead, i've never seen any such setting otherwise i would have
02:05:26 <Ampera> and you get full access to all the files on the phone, so far as non-root access will allow.
02:05:37 <Nothing\> electrohead, which is to say the settings in android are a mess
02:05:43 <Ampera> Android is irritating because it's quite highly locked down unless you root it, which isn't possible on many device, and isn't easy on any of them.
02:05:56 <Ampera> electrohead likely means ADB, you have to enable developer settings.
02:06:06 <Nothing\> Ampera, i'm guessing that comes back to the whole right to repair argument
02:06:10 <Ampera> https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options
02:06:11 <EEVBot> [Title] - Configure on-device developer options  |  Android Developers
02:06:22 <Nothing\> Ampera, wait isn't linux GNU?
02:06:31 <Ampera> huh?
02:06:32 <Ampera> no
02:06:32 <Nothing\> which means it can't be used for any for profit purposes
02:06:42 <Nothing\> oh
02:06:44 <Ampera> GNU is a project and an operating system.
02:06:52 <Ampera> The GNU GPL absolutely allows for commercial usage.
02:06:54 <Nothing\> well, open source is what i meant
02:06:58 <Ampera> In fact you can sell GNU GPL software for any price.
02:07:09 <Nothing\> i guess my idea of what GNU is was severely mistaken
02:07:20 <electrohead> ahh, I just searched online, the local terminal wasn't by default until a certain version. but yes, enabling dev settings will give the ability to turn that one
02:07:22 <electrohead> on*
02:07:23 <Ampera> GNU GPL is a very long and complicated license, but to my knowledge you're simply required to supply the original source code for anything licensed under it
02:07:25 <Nothing\> but going back to my question, isn't linux open source?
02:07:29 <Ampera> and under the same license that you sold it
02:07:31 <Ampera> It is.
02:07:40 <Ampera> licensed under GNU GPL v2
02:07:57 <electrohead> Nothing\: check this out - https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options
02:07:58 <EEVBot> [Title] - Configure on-device developer options  |  Android Developers
02:08:01 <Nothing\> and open source can't be used for profit? or is it you can use it for whatever the hell you want because there is no real liscence
02:08:10 <Ampera> I could sell you a copy of linux for any price I wanted, so long as I provided you the source code, which you could then modify and give out for any price you wanted.
02:08:12 <Nothing\> electrohead, i will indeed
02:08:14 <Ampera> Of course it can.
02:08:27 <Nothing\> Ampera, ah i gotcha
02:08:31 <Ampera> and there is a very real license with very real restrictions of what you can and cannot do with GNU GPL software
02:08:51 <Nothing\> huh i always thought GNU was open source
02:08:53 <Ampera> The basic restrictions of GNU GPL is you must redistribute under the same license
02:08:55 <Nothing\> i really need to read up on it
02:08:57 <Ampera> GNU is an operating system.
02:09:00 <electrohead> Nothing\: if you never enabled developer mode before, well, you're welcome lol
02:09:00 <Ampera> and it is open source.
02:09:04 <Ampera> GNU is also a project for that operating system.
02:09:18 <Ampera> when you run desktop Linux, you're almost always actually running GNU
02:09:23 <Nothing\> electrohead, i haven't but i get the sense this is gonna open up a whole new world for me
02:09:30 <Nothing\> or turn my mum's phone into a brick
02:09:38 <Ampera> eh, developer mode is limited in use case.
02:09:39 <Nothing\> (i'm not allowed to own phones until february)
02:09:49 <electrohead> the local terminal is definitely powerful enough, but then you have Termux that is available, I recommend Termux, since there are plugins for .. everything
02:09:52 <Nothing\> and even then, tbh i'd probably still just use my mum's phone
02:10:02 <Ampera> Termux is neat, though their build environments suck ass
02:10:10 <Nothing\> i can't justify spending hundreds of dollars just so i can read the news on the toilet every morning on my own device
02:10:26 <electrohead> wait, you can't own a phone?
02:10:28 <Nothing\> i can stand to read shampoo bottles if my mum's gone out some place
02:10:33 <Nothing\> electrohead, nope, or a computer
02:10:43 <electrohead> ooooohh
02:10:45 <Nothing\> which is why i can't install linux on this computer because legally it's my mum's
02:10:47 <Nothing\> yeah
02:10:49 <Nothing\> heh
02:10:57 <Nothing\> but like i said, that's up in february
02:11:05 <Nothing\> so i haven't got long to go
02:11:22 <Nothing\> i'm lucky actually, i shouldn't even be using a computer without her supervision
02:11:28 <Nothing\> i'm not saying that i don't
02:11:35 <Nothing\> but if i did that would be something
02:11:36 <electrohead> I think you just did lol
02:11:49 <Nothing\> i never said no such thing
02:12:01 <Ampera> he's calling the mounties to go mount your ass >:D
02:12:03 <Nothing\> get it?
02:12:13 <Nothing\> i'm not talking like a hick just for the sake of it
02:12:18 <electrohead> :p
02:12:30 <Nothing\> if you catch what i did there
02:12:35 <jaymax> hostess hickory sticks
02:12:36 <Ampera> Nothing\, you do know that electrohead works for the RCMP, right?
02:12:51 <Nothing\> Ampera, lol i think they more do stuff further north
02:13:02 <Nothing\> they work more in the rural communities it seems
02:13:23 <Nothing\> i've honestly never seen a mountie, but apparently they're really abusive towards first nations people
02:13:27 <jaymax> RCMP? Outside city/town centres.
02:13:42 <Nothing\> jaymax, well outside the city here i always see OPP
02:13:57 <Nothing\> i've never so much as seen an RCMP car
02:14:16 <Nothing\> but i've never been further north than owen sound on the west and kingston on the east
02:14:45 <jaymax> There are a few towns that have their own instead of feeding the RCMP budget, including buttfuk Truro.
02:14:46 <Nothing\> and even then in kingston, i was camping out by the uranium mines so i never even saw a city or town or any civilization
02:14:53 <Nothing\> up near quebec, apparently
02:15:07 <Nothing\> jaymax, yeah that's what i figured
02:15:35 <Nothing\> but i mean, even when i lived in buttfuck nowhere, a small town called chesley up by owen sound with maybe 1500 people, they had their own police
02:16:00 <Nothing\> and this is an area where the biggest city in several counties was owen sound, with around 30,000 people
02:16:25 <Nothing\> i mean, you know how rural grey/bruce and cottage country are
02:16:34 <Nothing\> fuck that's what i shoulda put on the grocey list
02:16:34 <jaymax> I feel like that's the case with Truro. Small population, but municiplaity budget justifies their own police instead of spening more for federal.
02:16:37 <Nothing\> cottage cheese
02:17:06 <Nothing\> i dunno what to eat cottage cheese on or with so i always just eat it plain
02:17:21 <Nothing\> only problem is it's way too easy to eat a whole tub in one sitting
02:17:30 <Nothing\> and at 4% fat i just feel gross after that
02:17:53 <jaymax> Can be used instead of ricotta for lasagna
02:18:02 <Nothing\> jaymax, i heard they got a reverse osmosis filtration system in iqaluit
02:18:17 <Nothing\> sounds like they're doing a real bang up job getting things taken care of for a change
02:18:33 <jaymax> Makes sense - a lot of poor water quality situations in remote areas.
02:18:34 <Nothing\> doubly so for a change considering it's an inuit town
02:18:42 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #eevblog
02:18:48 <Nothing\> jaymax, oh you didn't hear what they've been going through?
02:19:07 <Nothing\> their public drinking water's been contaminated with fuel for almost a month now
02:19:20 <Nothing\> they can't even boil it to drink it
02:19:40 <Nothing\> luckily they have a pristine river right near by, they were pumping water out of there for people to drink
02:19:47 <Nothing\> and flying in skids of drinking water
02:20:26 <Nothing\> it really looked like they were being taken care of well. Never heard anything about lack of supplies like pumps or even a lack of bottled water
02:20:52 <Nothing\> except the whole thing about commercially obtained bottled water costing literally $70 a case from the grocery store
02:21:00 <Nothing\> which is disgusting
02:21:18 <Nothing\> i was looking, and a big bag of dog food costs about the same, too
02:21:38 <Nothing\> i can see why a lot of people up there rely more on hunting for their food than grocery stores
02:21:53 <jaymax> Unaware of specifics there, but there are many examples of undrinkable water on reserves and indigenous-dominant areas. Some issues going back decades. It's disturbing.
02:22:19 <Nothing\> jaymax, ah yeah that rings a bell now that you mention it
02:22:32 <Nothing\> lots of stories of people growing up without even having potable water on the reserve
02:22:44 <Nothing\> i'm right next to the six nations reserve so we hear all about it
02:23:02 <Nothing\> lots of indigenous people in and around the area
02:23:13 <jaymax> Northern Alberta (a bit beyond Fort Mac) had tailings contamination going on for 24 years.
02:23:32 <Nothing\> oh man, alberta's in a bad way right now too
02:23:33 <jaymax> Or should I say "has"
02:23:46 <Nothing\> they've got it bad with COVID and their ICUs are over capacity
02:25:29 <Nothing\> teacher teacher sitting on the delaware, floating on a polar bear, couldn't afford another bear. 10 days later, chewing on her underwear and that's how the underwear diiiiiieeeeed
02:26:13 <Nothing\> sorry, ADHD moment
02:26:14 <Nothing\> lol
02:26:29 <Nothing\> i almost kept going but caught myself beforehand
02:26:44 <Nothing\> now then, what to do with myself....
02:27:33 <Nothing\> man you know what i miss most about the past?
02:27:42 <Nothing\> just being able to enjoy things easier
02:28:28 <Nothing\> like i think about my game collection now, and including ROMs i've got literally thousands upon thousands of games at my disposal, if i had even an iota of a fraction of this many games as a child i would have been beside myself
02:29:01 <Nothing\> hell i remember back when just getting a new game was the greatest thing in the world. Made me happier than anything.
02:29:27 <Nothing\> Now I get a new game and it's just like "oh another, alright into the pile with ya"
02:41:55 <Nothing\> ROFL WTF

02:45:10 <Nothing\> can somebody do me a favor?
02:45:42 <electrohead> Yar?
02:46:06 <Nothing\> hey dude, can you just pop on here and tell me how much this game's selling for? or if it's free
02:46:09 <Nothing\> https://store.steampowered.com/app/1404850/Luck_be_a_Landlord/
02:46:11 <EEVBot> [Title] - Luck be a Landlord on Steam
02:46:26 <Nothing\> i'm writing a review and can't recall if i bought it or if it was freeware or how much i paid for it
02:46:55 <Nothing\> and for some reason steam doesn't tell you how much a game costs if you already own it
02:48:16 <Nothing\> hrm well it's certainly not scratching this itch i have to play something
02:48:28 <Nothing\> gah
02:48:30 <electrohead> $9.99
02:48:36 <Nothing\> really? ouch
02:48:42 <Nothing\> i woulda figured $5
02:49:04 <Nothing\> musta gone up in price cuz i can't see me paying $10 for this. Even though it's worth $10 imo, i wouldn't have thought so from looking at it.
02:50:02 <Nothing\> also i really hate how steam automatically sets my status to online every time i open it
02:50:10 <Nothing\> i play video games to get away from people
02:50:12 <electrohead> 10 dollars is better than 60 or 80, for a lot of games, heh
02:50:21 <Nothing\> there's nothing i hate more than when i'm playing a game and somebody messages me
02:50:40 <Nothing\> electrohead, that's one big reason why i prefer indie games to AAA titles
02:50:48 <electrohead> I imagine you can change a setting somewhere?
02:50:52 <Nothing\> plus i honestly don't like 99% of AAA titles
02:51:18 <Nothing\> electrohead, i've looked and all you can do is set your status to offline manually
02:51:37 <Nothing\> but again, the settings in steam aren't exactly well organized
02:51:51 <electrohead> what is well organized, to you? lol
02:52:03 <Nothing\> something intuitive
02:52:15 <Nothing\> where you can look at your options and instantly know which ones do what
02:52:35 <Nothing\> and you have a good idea of which options should be under which menu heading
02:52:56 <Nothing\> without having to go through each one and figure it out through trial and error
02:53:16 <Nothing\> electrohead, i've always said the hallmark of a well designed product is intuitive design
02:53:37 <Nothing\> the user should be able to look at it and immediately know at the very least, roughly how to use it
02:53:56 <Nothing\> BUT
02:54:03 <Nothing\> without sacrificing functionality
02:54:11 <Nothing\> and that's the big one where companies fail
02:54:22 <electrohead> is there a search within the settings?
02:54:25 <Nothing\> at least with cell phones
02:54:31 <Nothing\> i don't think there is
02:54:46 <Nothing\> i don't think i've ever seen a settings with a search option tbh
02:54:55 <Nothing\> unless i'm just really unobservant
02:55:15 <Nothing\> i dunno what it is, but i don't explore settings and options as much as i used to anymore
02:55:50 <Nothing\> which i really should do because it really enhances your experience and understanding of how to effectively use the software
02:55:53 <Nothing\> whatever it might be
02:56:05 <electrohead> lol
02:56:24 <Nothing\> i guess i've become lazy in my old age
02:56:27 <Nothing\> or just apathetic
02:56:34 <Nothing\> well not really apathetic
02:56:37 <Nothing\> more lethargic
02:56:55 <Nothing\> if i were apathetic i wouldn't get so irritated by the limitations it causes
02:57:27 <Nothing\> ugh speaking of legal stuff
02:57:42 <Nothing\> i've got a check-in with my PO today
02:58:11 <Nothing\> which isn't a huge deal, but my bowels are really cramping and i just want to take a bunch of laxatives and have a good poop
02:58:24 <electrohead> I just watched a video of an Iranian governor getting slapped
02:58:30 <Nothing\> but i don't wanna do that before my appointment and risk having the laxatives kick in while i'm out
02:58:31 <electrohead> shit was so funny to watch, heh
02:59:00 <Nothing\> electrohead, ever see that video of the... i think he was thai politician freaking out in parliament and stabbing himself in the arm repeatedly?
02:59:04 <Nothing\> it's pretty gnarly

02:59:55 <Nothing\> i'm surprised i found it
03:00:03 <Nothing\> it actually took some sleuthing to find
03:01:00 <Nothing\> wow
03:01:05 <Nothing\> he went right for the ear
03:01:08 <Nothing\> that had to sting
03:01:36 <Nothing\> you ever see those russian slapping contests?
03:02:51 <electrohead> lmao, yeah man
03:02:53 <electrohead> funny stuff
03:06:21 <Nothing\> ffs
03:06:38 <Nothing\> spider on the ceiling, went to grab it and it fell on the carpet and blended in. Now i've lost it.
03:06:51 <Nothing\> probably gonna end up either stepping on the thing or one of my cats'll get bit.
03:06:59 <Nothing\> fucking HATE spider
03:07:01 <Nothing\> s
03:07:43 * Nothing\ stares at his breadboard with nothing but 2 BJTs on it that he meant to make into a current mirror
03:07:46 * Nothing\ sighs
03:07:53 <Nothing\> i really should make this
03:07:54 <electrohead> I just watched that video, damn
03:08:00 <electrohead> yeah I never saw that one, yet
03:08:02 <electrohead> now I have
03:08:05 <electrohead> shit's crazy
03:08:07 <Nothing\> i know dude that's crazy isn't it
03:08:27 <Kuschelpony> current flow, high and low
03:11:31 <Nothing\> here's a neat factoid
03:11:52 <Nothing\> the background color on the menu screen for the PS3 changes depending on the date
03:12:16 <Nothing\> i remember last year around christmas it went really red and i thought that was weird
03:12:24 <Nothing\> so i looked it up and found that out
03:12:25 <T3sl4> big whoop, so does undertale
03:12:38 <Nothing\> T3sl4, i never got into undertale
03:12:47 <Nothing\> but undertale's also got 15 years on the ps3
03:12:53 <T3sl4> at least, that's the last thing i played that i know had a gimmick like that :P
03:12:58 <T3sl4> also, sup
03:13:02 <Nothing\> heyo
03:13:08 <Nothing\> how's it going, bud?
03:13:24 <T3sl4> just chillin
03:14:00 * electrohead gimmicks T3sl4
03:14:11 * T3sl4 films
03:14:34 <Nothing\> T3sl4, right on
03:14:36 <Nothing\> wish i could do thta
03:14:40 <Nothing\> actually...
03:14:46 * Nothing\ takes a clonazepam
03:14:51 <Nothing\> guess this is as close as i can get
03:14:54 <T3sl4> as in the dielectric, because a gimmick is also a small incidental capacitor e.g. made by twisting wires together and trimming to length
03:15:15 <Nothing\> hrm
03:15:16 <Nothing\> uh oh
03:15:22 <Nothing\> i can't find my clonazepam
03:15:31 <T3sl4> quick, clone it
03:15:38 <Nothing\> and if i don't... i'm gonna have a very bad time this week
03:15:47 <Nothing\> T3sl4, oh man if only
03:15:56 <Nothing\> actually if i could i'd probably end up killing myself
03:16:04 <Nothing\> i relaized that's why god never let me win the lotto
03:16:11 <Nothing\> i'd just kill myself with my money
03:16:21 <Nothing\> whether it's a dui or overdose or something else
03:16:33 <Nothing\> i just can't trust myself with that many resources
03:16:39 <Nothing\> and that much power
03:16:59 <Nothing\> sorry i'm in kind of a melancholy mood
03:17:27 * T3sl4 gives Nothing\ a pumpkin pup
03:17:38 <T3sl4> a melon collie, to be precise
03:20:19 <Nothing\> hehe
03:20:26 <Nothing\> man i've been playing a lot of tetris 99 lately
03:20:43 <T3sl4> any good?
03:20:44 <Nothing\> i dunno if i'm out of practice or what, but i can barely beat the 150 line marathon
03:20:48 <Nothing\> it is, actually
03:21:01 <Nothing\> even just the online version is good, which is "free"
03:21:12 <Nothing\> aside from the subscription fee you play to play games online
03:21:24 <Nothing\> but that's $5 a month and works for all online games
03:21:25 <T3sl4> i've seen it a few times, a neat twist i guess but nothing i'm terribly drawn by :P
03:21:38 <Nothing\> it is a bit too chaotic at times tbh
03:21:42 <Nothing\> too much to focus on
03:22:13 <Nothing\> like you have to choose from the other 98 players, who you're going to target in terms of where the extra lines go when you get doubles, triples, etc
03:22:44 <Nothing\> so you've gotta watch what they're doing and what everyone else is doing to make the most effective use of your extra lines
03:23:04 <Nothing\> meanwhile you're mis-placing pieces and screwing up cuz you don't have your eyes on your screen
03:23:21 <Nothing\> or you just have to stop playing for a few seconds to examine what's going on
03:23:43 <Nothing\> usually i just set it to automatically target people who will die easily and get me KO badges
03:24:35 <Nothing\> and yeah, the single player seems harder than usual somehow
03:24:58 <Nothing\> but maybe that's cuz i'm used to these new fangled versions that let you hold a piece
03:25:12 <Nothing\> actually wait, this does let you hold a piece
03:25:17 <Nothing\> so i dunno what the problem is
03:25:33 <Nothing\> i just remember being able to easily surpass 200 lines in tetris DS

03:25:57 <EEVBot> [Title] - Too Many Requests
03:26:07 <electrohead> go to the 25-26 second mark
03:26:15 <electrohead> dude's glasses go flying xD
03:26:45 <Nothing\> also tetris 99 kinda sucks cuz you can earn "tickets" by completing goals they assign you each day, right
03:27:26 <Nothing\> and you use these tickets to buy themes, which some of them are cool like an SMB theme, or a donkey kong theme
03:27:41 <Nothing\> but it costs 15-30 tickets to get a theme
03:27:52 <Nothing\> you only earn 1 ticket for every goal you complete
03:27:55 <Ampera> electrohead, fucking decked
03:28:01 <Nothing\> and you can only complete a maximum of 4 goals per day
03:28:18 <Nothing\> and that's IF you can complete all 4 goals
03:28:28 <T3sl4> normal f2p junk
03:28:30 <Nothing\> like a couple of times i've had a goal like "complete 3 T spins"
03:28:44 <Nothing\> and i'm like "wtf is a 'T-Spin'?"
03:29:00 * electrohead redirects Nothing\ to meat spin
03:29:05 <Nothing\> i've been playing tetris since i could hold a controller and i've never heard of no damn T-spin
03:29:19 * T3sl4 throws electrohead a lemon party
03:29:28 <Nothing\> electrohead, leol there was an episode of the simpsons i saw the other day where mr burns was naively talking about having a lemon party
03:29:33 <Nothing\> rofl T3sl4
03:29:35 <Nothing\> right on cue
03:29:38 <electrohead> lmfao
03:30:21 <Nothing\> electrohead, he accidentally walked into a gay bar and the gays were like "ooooh somebody's having a lemon party" and mr burns naively recounts an actual lemon party he once had
03:30:25 <Nothing\> like a party with lemons
03:30:51 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMX11UEhWpA
03:30:52 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: The Simpsons lemon party reference!
03:30:56 <Nothing\> i knew it'd be on youtube lol
03:31:35 <Nothing\> oh that's right, first squeeze
03:31:53 * T3sl4 squeezes Nothing\'s lemons
03:31:54 <Nothing\> i misremembered that. Good thing i posted the video so i could make myself look like an ass for misquoting it
03:32:02 <Nothing\> T3sl4, ooohoohoohoo
03:32:31 <Nothing\> i wonder how many lgbts there are in here
03:33:11 <Nothing\> i dunno if it was because it was a drug chat or what, but the last 2 servers i frequented had abnormally high numbers of LGBTs in them
03:33:23 <T3sl4> irc draws weirdos
03:33:50 <Nothing\> i dunno if it's because it was a drug chat and lgbt people tend to have a lot more emotional tumult in their lives and hence would be more likely to use drugs to cope
03:34:08 <Nothing\> T3sl4, yeah that was gonna be my second hypothesis
03:34:23 <T3sl4> both is likely
03:34:32 <Nothing\> but i mean weirdo in the best possible way
03:34:49 <Nothing\> like, the way that i take it as a compliment when somebody says i'm weird
03:34:59 <Nothing\> it's hard to explain but i'm sure you understand
03:35:36 <Nothing\> i see being weird as something that sets me apart from others, something that makes me unique and therefor gives me more value as a person
03:35:45 <Nothing\> plus, humans love novelty
03:35:57 <Nothing\> except when it comes to tribalism for some reason
03:36:21 <Nothing\> dammit my cat figured out how to get us to play with her with the laser pointer
03:36:29 <Nothing\> so now she's asking us literally every hour to play
03:36:50 <Nothing\> i figured a couple times a day was plenty of exercise for her but now she just wants it constantly
03:37:03 <T3sl4> attention whores
03:37:18 <Nothing\> she just sits in front of the cabinet and meow in the saddest, most pathetic way she can
03:38:17 <Nothing\> hey, is it weird that i like to blow on her anus?
03:38:31 <Nothing\> it's nothing sexual, i just think it's funny as hell how it makes her jump
03:38:45 <TheDude> a belated hello
03:38:52 <Nothing\> lol i remember as a kid, my one friend was fascinated by my cat's anus
03:39:02 <Nothing\> he even poked it more than once
03:39:02 <TheDude> had another virtual interview today
03:39:05 <TheDude> it went well :D
03:39:06 <Nothing\> hey TheDude
03:39:08 <T3sl4> you arrived at the perfect time, TheDude
03:39:16 <Nothing\> awesome! congrats dude

03:39:27 <Nothing\> i hope it pans out for you.
03:39:35 <TheDude> he arrives precisely when he means to
03:39:46 <Nothing\> man ffs
03:39:49 <TheDude> :D
03:40:07 <Nothing\> i left a window opened last night before bed with a game's folder open as a reminder to play said game when i got up
03:40:35 <Nothing\> but then i looked something up absentmindedly in the middle of the night and lost it and i can't for the life of me think what it was
03:41:05 <Nothing\> i feel like it was unreal tournament 2004
03:41:16 <Nothing\> but i got tired of that game really fast
03:41:22 <Nothing\> it hasn't aged well
03:41:41 <Nothing\> or maybe it's just my dislike of multiplayer games
03:41:57 <TheDude> multiplayer games are awesome
03:42:01 <TheDude> you're weird :(

03:46:56 <Nothing\> heh
03:47:07 <Nothing\> actually insta-gib railgun matches were pretty fun
03:47:23 <Nothing\> or was it a rail gun in ut2k4
03:47:50 <Nothing\> the one with the purple beam or the purple ball that moved slower but did more damage
03:48:04 <Nothing\> and you could fire a ball, then shoot it with the beam to make it explode
03:48:08 <T3sl4> back in the day i'd play quake 2 at like 160 fov, extreme fisheye... somehow i did not too bad even
03:48:23 <Nothing\> lol
03:48:32 <Nothing\> not many games let you adjust the FOV anymore
03:48:54 <Nothing\> it's sad because with widescreen displays, a higher FOV would work much better
03:49:01 <Nothing\> especially with a curved display
03:49:17 <Nothing\> or VR
03:49:27 <Nothing\> though i've never used modern VR so I can't say for sure
03:52:00 <Nothing\> HOT DAMN!
03:52:24 <Nothing\> just got that spider i was after before and lost
03:52:35 <Nothing\> my awesome cat found him again
03:52:46 <Nothing\> that's why she was meowing, not because of the laser lol

05:10:16 <Nothing\> i like my PO and get along with her well
05:10:19 <Nothing\> plus she's kinda hot
05:10:30 <TheDude> pics
05:10:41 <Nothing\> lol they don't let you bring cameras for phones in
05:10:45 <Nothing\> probably for that very reason
05:10:54 <TheDude> lol, what is she gonna do?
05:11:11 <Nothing\> have me arrested and/or charged
05:11:17 <TheDude> oh, yeah, right
05:11:20 <Nothing\> lol
05:11:30 <Nothing\> nah she's pretty cool though
05:11:41 <Nothing\> like i was supposed to do some form of therapy or counselling
05:11:46 <Nothing\> and my first therapist was an idiot
05:11:58 <Nothing\> then the second time i went to see him hi absolutely REEKED like pot
05:12:31 <Nothing\> so i told her straight up, how i felt and what happened and she totally treated me seriously
05:12:38 <TheDude> his job must be stressful, give him a break
05:12:51 <TheDude> :D
05:12:51 <Nothing\> let me file a complaint with her supervisor, who was even more understanding and helpful
05:12:59 <Nothing\> TheDude, oh i know i couldn't imagine
05:13:16 <Nothing\> i would NOT have tho patience to work in social services of any kind
05:13:36 <TheDude> anything social related for me
05:14:08 <TheDude> I've had a fair number of encounters with HR people these last couple of weeks because of the job hunt
05:14:31 <TheDude> they're rather predictable but so fucking boring
05:14:48 <Nothing\> predictable is good because it means they can be manipulated
05:14:52 <Nothing\> easier
05:16:15 <Nothing\> heh my PO's happy with my so long as I don't contact my brother's ex, and keep my nose clean re: the law
05:16:20 <Nothing\> which i do anyways
05:17:14 <Nothing\> alright i should start getting ready

05:55:22 <EEVBot> [Title] - How is this INSANITY safe?! - Page 1
05:55:54 <Halcyon> That was a sweet "tail between the legs" moment
05:58:46 <Sigyn> So I was out riding my mountain bike yesterday morning and there were powerlines running over this arroyo, and they were making a cycical noise, like once or twice a second. Probably just a heavy cylical load on the lines? Or could the insulators be bad or something and some sort of RC circuit going on with arcing?
06:11:05 Join: Guest69 ([email protected]) to #eevblog
06:14:27 <T3sl4> Sigyn: can you be more specific what the sound was like
06:20:34 <DHess_US> Sigyn, yes
06:20:57 <DHess_US> insulator is cracked or they need cleaning
06:22:35 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #eevblog
06:22:56 <DHess_US> You might occasionally see a power company truck out cleaning insulators with a water spray because over time surface breakdown causes considerable power loss, which costs money.
06:24:04 <Sigyn> T3sl4: it wasn't a obvious crackling arcing noise, sounded like of like a almost metalic hum or ringing.
06:24:41 <T3sl4> sounds more like nearby machinery
06:26:14 <Sigyn> I'll pay more attention and maybe see if I can make a faithful recording next time I ride in that location. See if it is still doing it.
07:12:39 * electrohead gropes Halcyon
07:22:42 <T3sl4> uhh
07:22:58 <T3sl4> so um, when win7 cmd doesn't use a PATH
07:23:03 <T3sl4> when the PATH is set correctly
07:23:12 <T3sl4> and the path, you know, exists and all
07:23:28 <T3sl4> ...is that just a thing or something?
07:26:56 <Nothing\> man wtf
07:27:08 <rust_collector> yes, sorry
07:27:13 <rust_collector> it just happened
07:27:18 <Nothing\> a 5mm diffuse RGB LED, just plain LED on sparkfun is $2 EACH
07:27:21 <Nothing\> EACH
07:27:39 <Nothing\> i paid less than that for a pack of 100 on aliexpress
07:28:17 <rust_collector> buy a million of them, and they will be very cheap
07:28:39 <Nothing\> lol i don't think you get a volume discount from sparkfun
07:29:01 <rust_collector> no, but they get them somewhere
07:29:18 <rust_collector> and, you probably do, if you have a serious volume
07:29:52 <T3sl4> so, they sell them as a convenience?
07:30:46 <Nothing\> T3sl4, i think so. It's like "here's a project, and here's what you need for that project. By the way, you can buy everything for your project from us"

07:43:31 <Nothing\> how does that even work
07:44:25 <rust_collector> I should get one of those, for the spot I have a hole in my knee
07:45:11 <Nothing\> that's okay, i have this weird >1cm in length growth on the skin over my tail bone
07:45:24 <Nothing\> it sucks cuz that's right where i put pressure when i sit
07:45:35 <electrohead> should probably see a doctor about that
07:45:38 <Nothing\> and it gets really itchy for some reason
07:45:51 <Nothing\> electrohead, believe me i've been trying
07:46:56 <Nothing\> kinda hadr to get such things loooked after when your doctor doesn't even come into the office to see patient
07:47:04 <T3sl4> also, uh, that's odd, why the fuck do i have python already installed, i don't recall doing that myself, but what would i have installed that used it?

08:22:53 <T3sl4> it doesn't RTRIM white space
08:23:44 <T3sl4> so "PATH C:\FOO " will look for, well, "FOO " not "FOO"
08:24:44 <rust_collector> that makes sense. why do you want it to look for something you did not ask it to look for?
08:26:31 <electrohead> it doesn't?
08:26:33 <electrohead> hrrrmmm
08:26:39 <electrohead> that gives me ideas, heh
08:27:02 <rust_collector> are you going to change your grades from school?
08:28:26 <rust_collector> eh, good night

11:29:57 * Ampera hugs electrohead
11:30:41 * electrohead strangles Ampera with love
11:30:42 <electrohead> lol, hey dude
11:30:45 <electrohead> :p
11:30:56 <Ampera> how are you doing sparkgap?
11:31:06 <electrohead> sparkgap? lmao
11:31:10 * T3sl4 ionizes electrohead
11:31:18 <Ampera> I'm on my laptop modem
11:31:22 * electrohead dissipates
11:31:22 <Ampera> waiting for my brother
11:31:42 * Ampera ironizes T3sl4 with a skillet to the face
11:31:57 <T3sl4> what up, home skillet
11:32:13 <Ampera> that joke was critically panned upon launch.
11:32:31 <T3sl4> what are you, pansexual?
11:32:38 <Ampera> no, I just steel jokes.
11:32:51 <DHess_US> https://i.imgur.com/h2cN75J.jpg
11:32:59 <T3sl4> better call the copper (bottom)s
11:33:38 <Ampera> why, just to be lameinated?
11:35:37 <T3sl4> lamentable
11:35:57 <jaymax> Such a time zinc, this place.
11:36:44 <Ampera> it really plumbs away the time
11:37:13 <jaymax> Ugh, I fee ldrained.
11:38:18 <Ampera> don't say that, ytt's not too bad.
11:38:56 <T3sl4> if he's gonna die we'll have to Barium
11:40:02 <Ampera> fuck that, give him some healium.
11:40:07 <jaymax> Rust in Peace
11:40:25 <Ampera> oh did rust_collector die?
11:40:27 <Ampera> rip
11:40:31 <T3sl4> a nuclear murderer?
11:40:48 <Ampera> there's protons and controns to everything
11:40:59 <jaymax> Only if Alec shot him too
11:41:08 <T3sl4> oof
11:42:01 <jaymax> Hollywood is a mess - seem to be back in the MGM Wizard of Oz days. Scary stuff.
11:42:26 <Ampera> the Alec Baldwin situation is hilarious, both for the absolute and complete failure of any safety protocol whatsoever on that set, and for how poorly the media presented it.
11:42:56 <jaymax> The media is obfuscating for political reasons, IMO
11:43:25 <Ampera> 3 major rules were broken. 1. they brought on an inexperienced armorer who didn't know what they were doing, and wasn't told clearly enough what to load 2. the guy holding the gun (and apparently in charge of safety on that set) didn't check the gun himself, and the biggest, 3. someone pointed a gun at something they did not intend to destroy.
11:43:37 <Ampera> The media is obfuscating because they're fucking dumbasses
11:44:13 <Ampera> they're people trained to know that gun bad, hollywood elites good, and anything beyond that or of more nuance they couldn't figure out if you gave them the final draft.
11:44:14 <jaymax> also 4. the gun went off on set before, and 5. staff walked off because of those safety issues.
11:44:43 <Ampera> 4 and 5 are mostly results of 1, 2, and 3
11:45:10 <jaymax> Oops, didn't notice the "rules" part.
11:47:04 <Ampera> Rule 1. People who do not know how to use and maintian guns should not be giving guns to people who also don't 2. You're responsible for what's in your hands if it's a car, a plane, or a gun 3. Never give a gun, loaded or unloaded, to a guy who does not know how /not/ to use one.
11:47:28 <jaymax> ^ This.
11:48:47 <Ampera> I have no idea if the armorer on set actually said this, but it's an anecdote either way. To paraphrase: The thing I like the most about working with guns is showing people how safe they are
11:49:31 <Ampera> Guns are not and will never be safe, just like cars are not and will never be safe. You are operating a machine that is fully capable of immediately and permanently deleting a life. That is a danger you need to be trained for and understand.
11:50:43 <jaymax> I think the perpetual film/serial release cycle was on it's way of being doomed for a while now, in part because what has been release the past 15 years has been tired and boring. IMO this is a big reason to the heavy competition of streaming services, insofar to gatekeep content you don't own and throttle the back-catalouge.
11:51:59 <jaymax> Going back to what has been produced long ago would have been a sane alternative for the end-consumer, except now it's *mostly* inaccessible given how the industry has changed.
11:54:00 <jaymax> Not necessarily "changed", but the landscape shifted in a practical and legal sense that limits people from getting off that treadmill.
12:18:04 <user1> Good morning everybody (except for the Jews)
12:18:40 <electrohead> o.O
12:18:45 * electrohead stabs user1
12:20:03 <user1> don't stab people (unless they are Jews)
12:22:15 <user1> I like all kinds of people but not the Jews. Cause they aren't human beings, those are creatures straight out from hell
12:23:00 <jaymax> Juicy
12:23:32 <jaymax> But I'm confused by what's going on here.
12:24:37 <electrohead> user1: a joke is one thing, but if you keep going off about the jews, then there's a problem
12:25:54 <user1> got you. I'll let them Jews be Jews...
12:26:11 <jaymax> The ring 0 problem is that "I like all kinds of people but"... Liking all is some Twitter nonsense.
12:26:31 <user1> But then what's the purpose of this chat? Nobody's talking about electronics either
12:26:36 <jaymax> Meanwhile, I hate everyone, but I'll tak to anyone.
12:30:03 <electrohead> lol
12:30:29 <jaymax> That reminds me user1 --- for me to place 10.8v laptop packs in serial, is there a count that ends up "close enough" voltage to a common multiple?
12:30:32 * electrohead solders all of user1's components to perfboard, and tapes it to the ceiling
12:31:26 <jaymax> It seems less interesting to shuck dozens of these things.
12:33:33 <electrohead> in serial?
12:33:48 <jaymax> Series. But for unpacked 18650's (3 in series does the laptop-advertised 10.8v), 10 series is considered 36V, 13s 48v, etc.
12:34:22 <jaymax> electrohead why my brain no work?
12:35:39 <electrohead> because you didn't ask me to shock you?
12:36:05 * jaymax asks for cattle prod schematics
12:38:23 <jaymax> But anyway....
12:44:23 <electrohead> lol
12:48:04 Quit: Sigyn ([email protected]) Quit: WeeChat 3.0.1
12:52:02 <jaymax> If I go with 5 in series (15s), that's a charge/discharge profile (staying more within the 20%-80% range) as 52.5v-55.5v, which is a tad higher than my LFP milkcrate battey.
12:53:30 <electrohead> milkcrate battey?
12:53:31 <electrohead> lol
12:54:16 <jaymax> Oops - to clarify and correct... 5 packs in series (equivalent to 15s at the cell level), range as 52.5v-60v.
12:55:35 <jaymax> Affirmative on the milkcrate battery - 32 of those Navitas LFP 25Ah cells packed into a milk crate.
12:55:54 <electrohead> ahh
12:55:58 <jaymax> 2p16s
12:56:04 <electrohead> heh
12:56:12 <electrohead> did you blow anything up, yet? :p
12:56:24 <jaymax> so, 48 to 52-ish volt range.
12:56:30 <jaymax> Not *yet*
12:57:26 <electrohead> *yet*
12:57:34 <electrohead> I hope you film that shit, when it does blow
12:57:37 <jaymax> But it's 2.4kWh of potential problems - mind you, LPF so at least the situation isn't as dire.
12:57:40 <electrohead> Will be a good site to see :P
12:57:51 <electrohead> sight*
12:59:03 <jaymax> I have a 1.3kWh pack of the Li-Ion variety (Manganese?) in an ammo box - I have more boomiary fears associated to that one.
12:59:53 <jaymax> 140 of the 2.2Ah 18650 cells, arranged in 14p10s.
13:01:40 <jaymax> There's gonna be so much battery componentry here, when the grid fails I'll need to have that charged cattle prod to protect my inventory. LOL
13:02:25 <electrohead> Lmfao
13:03:03 <electrohead> I was looking at your github repo/projects today, as I logged into my github account from a browser for the first time in .. months
13:03:27 <electrohead> Since you starred my bot repo :P
13:03:34 <jaymax> Haha
13:03:51 <jaymax> I have little value in my GH profile at this point

22:31:09 <Ampera> good morning friend
22:31:17 * Ampera offers Ysjoelfir some tea
22:31:25 <K> ah.
22:38:14 <Ysjoelfir> hi Ampera, and thanks. I am now officially on sickleave and still sitting at the home office pc... I am such a good employee, am I not?
22:38:31 <Ampera> why are you on sick leave
22:53:56 <K> he has the sickens
23:10:10 <Ysjoelfir> I had this vertigo shit a few weeks ago, and this weekend again. "luckily" it was also here today, when the throat-nose-ear doctor has his emergency appointment time. So I went there and he diagnosed me with "Probably Morbus Meniere"
23:14:22 <user1> Hey K, why only one K?
23:14:29 <user1> Triple K is much better
23:15:29 <K> no, it is not.
23:17:36 <Ampera> my god you're still here?

23:25:51 <Ysjoelfir> so. finished all stuff I wanted to manage at work, I'll log off now.
