00:03:08 * Ampera hugs electrohead
00:03:17 <Ampera> how are you doing wallplug?
00:03:58 <electrohead> thinking about giving IRC a break, you?
00:06:05 <Ampera> a coworker who messages me only to complain is presently typing something
00:06:15 <Ampera> it seems it's not something I've done, so that's good
00:07:10 <electrohead> tell him to get fucked?
00:07:21 <electrohead> beat him to it, send a message first, saying that
00:07:23 <electrohead> lol
00:08:08 <steve30> How can one take a break from IRC?
00:08:39 <electrohead> steve30: by not connecting to it?
00:09:00 <steve30> I'd feel lonely if I didn't load my IRC client

01:29:51 * Ampera hands a hug to TheDude
01:30:16 * T3sl4 hands a hand to Ampera
01:30:36 <Ampera> That's fine
01:30:40 <Ampera> it'd be weird if you handed a hand handing a hand
01:30:58 <T3sl4> that'd be a whole 'nother Thing
01:31:24 <K> a bag of hands
01:31:41 <T3sl4> Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, that kills people
01:31:42 <K> a little bit more usefull than a bag full of dicks.
01:31:55 <Ampera> I'd beg to differ.
01:32:10 <Ampera> People just run and scream if you have a bag full of severed hands.
01:32:14 <Ampera> People at least stop to look if it's full of cocks.
01:32:18 <T3sl4> now see, you just take the two bags, dump them together and shake them up
01:32:25 <T3sl4> infinite mayonnaise
01:32:46 <K> this is fitting for a friday, i approve
01:34:27 <T3sl4> you know what else is fitting?
01:34:29 <T3sl4> shopping for clothes
01:34:58 <Ampera> you know what else is fitting?
01:35:02 <Ampera> a small child upset about shopping for clothes
01:55:00 <arch> gonna make this soon: https://i.imgur.com/jPxC2ql.png
01:56:27 <T3sl4> does that come with negative fb?
01:56:53 <T3sl4> probably need an inverting amp or something
01:56:55 <arch> fuck
01:57:18 <arch> forgot about that part
01:57:45 <Ampera> you gentlemen are off topic, this is a channel purely about genitals
01:57:52 <T3sl4> oh right

02:02:15 <arch> interesting, i didn't know there were controllers around that handle both negative and positive voltage feedback: https://i.imgur.com/QRViDcS.png
02:02:20 <arch> https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/LT3757-3757A.pdf
02:02:34 <T3sl4> oh yeah they have a one that works both ways
02:03:04 <arch> i need to buy some controllers than can handle both. any recommendations?
02:03:34 <arch> or ill just sift thru digikey
02:03:51 <arch> maybe you could add some recs to your PSA, if you have some, for negative voltage controllers/converters
02:04:43 <DHess_US> arch, yes, LT makes a bunch of them. Oh, that is an LT part.
02:05:05 <arch> yeah, im afraid i'll become a bum if i buy too many LT parts
02:05:11 <T3sl4> the CS5171 family has a neg version
02:05:13 <arch> they tend to be costly
02:05:19 <DHess_US> So the controller can be used in different topologies without external support for a negative output.
02:05:20 <T3sl4> tho i think it's going obsolete now so maybe nvm?
02:05:31 <T3sl4> but also a regulator not controller so kinda N/A here
02:05:45 <DHess_US> LT specialized in premium parts when they were formed out of National.
02:07:36 <arch> i don't have anything against LT, but they could at least mark down prices for the little guys. maybe they could quantity limit sell parts to small timers at discount
02:08:00 <arch> then again, not too many DIY people making power supplies
02:08:41 <arch> like, i bought a few LT synch boost/sepic controllers, and they were $10-11/pop; got a handful of LT parts for that reason

03:51:35 <TheDude> g'day gents
03:51:42 <TheDude> \o Ampera, T3sl4
03:52:11 * Ampera hugs TheDude
03:52:16 <Ampera> how are you dudeing dude?
03:52:30 <TheDude> quite well, actually :)
03:52:50 <TheDude> I had the meeting with my boss today
03:52:57 <TheDude> regarding the salary and whatnot
03:53:03 <Ampera> what's the news
03:53:06 <TheDude> he offered a 28% increase
03:53:15 <T3sl4> not bad
03:53:17 <TheDude> I asked him if he's willing to negotiate on that :D
03:53:34 <TheDude> told him that I already have a better offer lined up
03:53:37 <T3sl4> how much were you hoping for? you said you're rather underpaid but i don't recall how much
03:53:55 <TheDude> but that I'm willing to discuss this with him further, if he can negotiate on it
03:54:21 <TheDude> the one that he offered just now
03:54:27 <K> noice
03:54:37 <TheDude> would be a decent, but not great salary for a mediocre engineer
03:55:03 <TheDude> I realized that I don't fit into that category and therefore have a higher expectancy now
03:55:17 <Ampera> that's an insult
03:55:26 <TheDude> ... 2 months ago, if he offered the exact same deal, I would have pounced on it
03:55:29 <Ampera> you make such jack that should be 100%
03:55:45 <TheDude> and would have been happy with it
03:55:54 <TheDude> and I wouldn't even bother looking for alternatives
03:55:59 <TheDude> ... now, not so much
03:57:26 <TheDude> anyhow, we agreed to talk again next week
03:57:44 <TheDude> we'll see how much farther he'd be willing to stretch the budget
03:58:30 <TheDude> but it really is a win-win situation for me
03:58:41 <Ampera> I think you did the right thing, you showed him that he can either keep you or lose you
03:58:43 <TheDude> because either he increases the offer
03:58:51 <TheDude> or he doesn't and I take the better one elsewhere
04:00:16 <TheDude> on a related note
04:01:09 <TheDude> I managed to increase the performance of some bootloader software like 5-fold by rewriting the CAN driver
04:01:29 <TheDude> like serious performance increase because of it
04:02:09 <TheDude> I'll make sure that the project leader reports to the boss about this and makes it a little bit more urgent for him to retain me :D
04:04:36 <K> but you've already done the good deed
04:05:32 <TheDude> yeah, but you need to sell him the potential of doing more of those :P
04:11:26 <arch> is it possible to parallel together simpleswitcher buck regulators together for increased output power? or is that something that can only be done with synchronizable (sync-pin) controllers?
04:12:25 <T3sl4> arch: one will go into current limiting first, but if that's okay, i suppose so
04:12:33 <arch> cool
04:21:02 <DHess_US> You would need to add an external control to force current sharing, which isn't difficult.
04:21:40 <DHess_US> In practice one regulator becomes the master, and the others follow it by equalizing their input or output current.
04:58:19 <DHess_US> I wonder if they have a list so they can purge government and law enforcement vehicles, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/license-plate-scanners-were-supposed-to-bring-peace-of-mind-instead-they-tore-the-neighborhood-apart/ar-AAPQcTp

07:51:07 <Nothing\> i just came across the most baffling thing ever, i think
07:51:22 <Nothing\> https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/Five-KBU1010-10-a-1000-v-flat-bridge-rectifier-bridge-IC-chips/PRD58JJ9VUFJ9KO
07:51:36 <Nothing\> apparently walmart sells rectifiers lol
07:51:55 <electrohead> the domain says walmart, therefore I wouldn't recommend whatever it is, regardless of what it says it is
07:52:05 <Nothing\> yeah i wasn't going to
07:52:08 <Nothing\> it is walmart's site
07:52:22 * electrohead squirts mustard all over Nothing\, hoping he turns into a sausage
07:52:28 * electrohead makes T3sl4 film
07:52:51 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
07:52:59 <Ampera> how are you doing nowhere man?
07:53:07 <Nothing\> electrohead, https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/thumb/2/26/Sergeant_Sausage.png/1600px-Sergeant_Sausage.png
07:53:14 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera
07:53:19 <Nothing\> hey buddy, i'm doing pretty well
07:53:24 <Nothing\> i'd be doing better if i could poop
07:53:35 <Nothing\> you know i'm honestly considering using enemas
07:53:37 <Ampera> I think you're full of shit
07:53:37 <Nothing\> or at least trying them
07:53:45 <Nothing\> Ampera, my dad used to say that all the time
07:53:55 <Nothing\> "go sit on the toilet, cuz you're full of shit!"
07:54:19 <Nothing\> these are the bits of wisdom he left me with
07:54:24 <Nothing\> actually i was thinking about it
07:55:15 <Nothing\> and honest to god truth, the only advice my dad ever gave me was when i was 15, he told me tell me GF that cum is good for the skin to get her to jerk me off
07:56:10 <electrohead> Nothing\: :O
07:56:13 <electrohead> that's perfect.
07:56:24 <electrohead> you all should call me .. sergeant sausage, from now on.
07:56:31 <Nothing\> and now that i think about it, i remember more than once having my best friend at the time over, who was a girl, when we were around 15, i had a hot tub and my dad would always say to her "hey you should go in the hot tub" and she'd say "i don't have a bathing suit" and he'd reply something like "oh that's not a problem"
07:56:49 <Nothing\> like he was blatantly flirting with and coming on to my underage female friends
07:57:01 * electrohead resists a comment
07:57:20 <Nothing\> then after he left the family and got a "better" one with the daughter he always wanted (i wonder why) he posted a picture of him and her when she was 15
07:57:29 <Nothing\> he's literally grabbing her tits from behind
07:57:32 <Nothing\> and the caption says
07:57:39 <Nothing\> "have boobs, will travel"
07:58:14 <Nothing\> i even remember when i was a kid, i don't remember how old, maybe 12 or so. He made some crack about me watching kiddy porn.
07:58:27 <Nothing\> i was so naive at the time, i thought he said kitty porn and was confused as hell
07:59:05 <Nothing\> but i mean, if anyone especially parents said half this shit to their kids these days, social services would take them away in a heartbeat
07:59:28 <Nothing\> not to mention when he let me try smoking when i was 5, but i mean it was the end of the 80's and attitudes were different
07:59:36 <Nothing\> i didn't even wear a seatbelt, nevermind using a carseat
08:00:33 <Nothing\> i remember on a trip to florida, we took my dad's pick up, and my parents just threw a mattress in the back and my brother and i spent the whole trip back there
08:00:45 <Nothing\> coming up front only for toll booths
08:01:00 <Nothing\> cuz there was a little window connecting the cab to the back.
08:01:11 <Nothing\> I only we had a cap on that thing. man did it suck when it rained.
08:01:24 <Nothing\> (kidding!)
08:01:42 <Nothing\> but yeah, if we ever got rear ended my brother and i woulda been toast
08:02:48 Quit: arch ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
08:05:22 <Nothing\> oh yeah
08:05:37 <Nothing\> i pulled out this super beefy rectifier from one of my microwaves
08:05:50 <Nothing\> forward voltage of the diodes is so high, it won't even register on my meter
08:06:05 <Nothing\> which, i also pulled a diode out of it a few weeks ago and had the same problem
08:06:21 <Nothing\> eventually i measured the forward voltage manually and it was around 6 volts
08:06:39 <Nothing\> so no wonder my meter couldn't detect it. As far it was concerned that was an open circuit
08:28:53 <Nothing\> yay
08:29:01 <Nothing\> finally bought the new metroid game
08:29:06 <Nothing\> the one on the switch
08:29:20 <Nothing\> i still haven't played the remake of Metroid 2, but one of these days
08:30:27 <Nothing\> wtf
08:31:20 <Nothing\> i'm looking up this clinic on google, right. Google says their closed, as any proper clinic should be at 5:30 on a friday evening. But underneath it shows how busy it is, it shows it's busier than usual somehow.
08:31:39 <Nothing\> which makes me wonder if the whole business graph is bullshit data

09:30:27 <Nothing\> i can't believe they remade this game!
09:30:51 <Nothing\> it was such an obscure game, i didn't even expect to find the original version on steam. I was ready to go to abandonware.
09:31:21 <Nothing\> But hell, i remember playing this game with my brother back like 25 years ago. And it still holds up well to this day.
09:31:50 <Nothing\> a classic buy high sell low type economy game with just enough differences to others in the genre to make it really stand out from them
09:32:19 <Nothing\> in the same spirit as dope wars, if aynone remembers that game.

12:04:10 <Nothing\> plus it looks pretty fun, tbh
12:04:27 <Nothing\> and you can't go wrong for $15
12:05:32 <Nothing\> only thing i don't like is the early access. Seems like about 70% of the content steam recommends is early access. I dunno if that's because of my penchant for indie games, or i they're just trying to help the indie devs out by giving them and even bid in search algorithms
12:08:53 <Nothing\> welp, i'm up to 5 games i've bought so far. And I'm still only about 1/4 of the way through the one ampera got me a couple months ago.
12:09:14 <Nothing\> So I can't even think about playing these games until I've had my fill with that one and have to put it on the back burner
12:10:21 <Nothing\> which reminds me, i should make a "back burner" and "bucket" list of games on my steam profile so i have a convenient list of such games for future reference
12:10:25 <Nothing\> totally doing that now
12:18:06 <Nothing\> guess everyone's sleeping

12:18:56 <Nothing\> haven't seen you around here before. you new? or just sporting a different monicker?

12:21:32 <Nothing\> never woulda guessed
12:21:34 <Nothing\> =P
12:22:43 <grem> yea im new, im electrohead's love child
12:27:54 <Nothing\> ah right on
12:28:06 <Nothing\> so does that make you his SO? or his actual child?

12:28:47 <Nothing\> ah, one of THOSE cases. Gotcha.

12:29:25 <Nothing\> in any case, electrohead's good people. I highly respect him and find our interactions to be extremely enjoyable as he's a great person and a pleasure to talk with.
12:29:57 <grem> yea he's sleeps around alot though
12:29:59 <Nothing\> and so i welcome you to our humble community with the assumption you'll provide just as much positivity for us as he has
12:30:10 <Nothing\> well, that's to be expected.
12:30:21 <grem> there could be more of us
12:30:21 <Nothing\> just get a choke chain for his balls
12:30:52 <Nothing\> he'll either learn his lesson, or they'll fall off.
12:30:57 <Nothing\> in any case, mission accomplished.
12:31:22 <Nothing\> grem, you mean at the keyboard?
12:31:28 <Nothing\> or do you have clones?
12:31:45 <grem> clones but not clones
12:31:58 <Nothing\> ah i gotcha
12:32:04 <Nothing\> i've got a "wee" one myself
12:32:11 <Nothing\> estranged, and she's an adult
12:32:13 <Nothing\> but still
12:32:37 <Nothing\> it counts when i say it does

14:29:45 <Nothing\> and he's like in his early 70's, literally halfway senile, computer illiterate, obsessive with finances but has no clue about them
14:29:57 <Nothing\> it's hard to describe his type but i hope you know what i mean
14:30:15 <Nothing\> but i was thinking, to mess with him I should transfer 1 cent into his account 50 times
14:30:53 <Nothing\> maybe change my account so i have more than just 10 transactions a month before hand, too
14:31:39 <Nothing\> i just know it would confuse him to no end

14:53:39 <DogWomble> Nothing\, just noticed your comments on Age of Empire 4 - i have it installed, just need to get around to playing it :)
14:54:28 <DogWomble> i'm kinda intrigued to play it given i've played 1 and 2, though it might be a week or so before i get to it
15:13:01 <steve30> Maybe he'll say, ooh, 50 free cents :)

19:51:24 <watcher> howdy partner
19:52:05 <TheDude> I've got a boring weekend ahead of me
19:52:23 <TheDude> gonna spend it fiddling with a raspberry pi
19:52:31 <TheDude> gonna try to make it work with a GPIB adapter
19:54:13 <watcher> sound fun

20:12:24 Nick: Dude is now known as TheDude
20:25:15 <TheDude> uhm
20:25:28 <TheDude> steve30, you're a linux wizard, right?
20:25:52 <steve30> umm, not really, but i've been using it for many years
20:26:04 <TheDude> okay, I have a very boneheaded question
20:26:16 <TheDude> I previously set something up on a raspberry pi
20:26:38 <TheDude> but I am now locked out of the system because I don't remember the PW
20:26:49 <TheDude> so I tried getting the easy way out
20:27:08 <TheDude> by wiping the SD card and putting another linux image onto it
20:27:32 <TheDude> the RPi now starts, but I still can't gain access to the shell
20:28:21 Quit: watcher ([email protected]) Quit: i'am out
20:28:27 <steve30> Well, the new install won't have anything to do with the old forgotten password
20:28:46 <TheDude> I imagined everything there was to store from the RPi will be stored onto the SD card
20:29:12 <TheDude> is there some memory for this stuff on the board itself?
20:29:31 <steve30> Could it be that you don't know the password for the new image? Most come with a standard login/password of some kind, just like a live CD would
20:29:46 <steve30> No seperate memory (unless newer ones have something which I don't know about)
20:31:01 <TheDude> nah, it's a 2B
20:31:14 <TheDude> also, dumb question
20:31:28 <TheDude> if I try to ssh into the thing and I provide the IP alone
20:31:45 <steve30> I'd try and find the password for the image you installed. If you downloaded the image from the web chances are it'll tell you the default user/pass somewhere
20:31:45 <TheDude> will it try to use my current windows user as the user it SSHs into?
20:31:55 <steve30> ^yes
20:32:00 <TheDude> okay
20:32:07 <steve30> well, SSH on linux does, I'm guessing windows does
20:33:00 <TheDude> uh
20:33:12 <TheDude> I might have figured it out

20:33:37 <TheDude> alright, gotta figure this out now
20:34:17 Quit: form ([email protected]) Quit: ZNC 1.8.1 - https://znc.in
20:34:22 <TheDude> the thing that ultraconfused me was that I was already setting up these keys as the authentication method before
20:34:43 <TheDude> and seeing that + it automatically trying to log in as 'dave'
20:34:45 <steve30> when I do SSH it takes care of the keys for me
20:34:52 <TheDude> made me think that something was not getting overwritten
20:35:33 <TheDude> yeah

20:42:35 <TheDude> dang
20:42:55 <TheDude> I have given up with these keys and just connected a UART cable to it
20:43:11 <TheDude> I'm now in
20:43:30 <steve30> sorry i couldn't solve it. Anything with logins and encryption always tends to be more complicated
20:43:56 * steve30 misses the days of the single user OS
20:44:06 <TheDude> no, you actually helped me solve the mistery
20:44:33 <steve30> oh, good :)
20:44:44 <TheDude> not only do you not need to apologize, I need to thank you because you pointed me in the right direction
20:44:46 <TheDude> so thank you :)
21:09:23 * steve30 ponders making some curry
21:38:16 <TheDude> finally managed to SSH into this bloody thing :D:D
21:38:30 <TheDude> jfc I'm a brainlet
21:40:15 <steve30> what did you do?
21:56:14 <TheDude> I finally figured out what I need to configure in sshd_config to get it to let me in
