04:25:35 <Kuschelpony> hmmm how would you describe the color and perhaps shape of dried Fe(III)Cl crystals? Could they form bright orange broccoli-like clusters? or would it be more of a dull brownish color and i have some else metal in the mix?
04:26:22 <Kuschelpony> it should have been just colorless zinc acetate made from scrap zinc, but there is some contamination that turn everythign bright orange

04:31:16 * electrohead films
04:32:58 <electrohead> I have some music cranked up on the surround sound, and my cat keeps staring at the subwoofer
04:33:12 <electrohead> So I call this - catwoofer.
04:34:58 <steve30> hehe
04:35:03 * electrohead listens to Megaherz through the catwoofer
04:35:22 <steve30> electrohead, do you have the explicit consent of ampera and myself for said filming?
04:35:23 <electrohead> steve30: you into industrial metal at all?
04:35:48 <electrohead> steve30: I don't need it, tHiS iS pUbLiC
04:35:51 <electrohead> lol
04:36:05 <steve30> Can't say I am, but I don't usualy pay attention to musical genres so I couldn't say what industrial metal is
04:36:32 <electrohead> Most industrial metal is 00ber p0werful
04:38:00 <steve30> electrohead, I went to that transgender protest earlier. People's reaction to the presence of my camera was, lets say, an eye opener.
04:38:00 <steve30> :D
04:38:23 <electrohead> I bet lol

04:38:35 <steve30> In other words, I nearly got hounded out of the city before some of them managed to engage is reasonable discussion
04:38:40 <steve30> *in
04:38:43 <electrohead> heh
04:38:50 <electrohead> yeah I stay away from bullshit like that
04:38:56 <electrohead> To each their own.
04:39:00 * electrohead hugs the steve30
04:39:27 <steve30> That is sound advice
04:40:06 <steve30> I did get some decent interviews though fortunately
04:40:36 * steve30 listens ^
04:40:42 <electrohead> Why exactly do you go to things like that? (out of curiosity)
04:41:17 <electrohead> That's a good song, in my opinion. Love the guitar work <3
04:44:43 <steve30> Because I decided to take up electronic news gathering as a hobby
04:45:02 <electrohead> Ahh, ok cool
04:45:04 <electrohead> :)
04:45:16 <electrohead> Yeah I remember you mentioning you have a youtube channel
04:46:43 <steve30> I actually said a year ago that I wasn't likely to do many more protest videos. So naturally I ended up doing quite a lot.
04:46:49 <electrohead> xD
04:47:08 <electrohead> Yeah people who go to these giant protests just baffle me.
04:47:23 <electrohead> I mean, people who go to stir some shit up, rather
04:47:29 <electrohead> There's a lot of them, apparently
04:47:39 * electrohead switches the music up, to KMFDM
04:52:02 <steve30> Most protesters have interesting messages and stories.
04:53:32 <electrohead> Oh for sure
04:53:41 * electrohead protests that he doesn't have enough beer
04:53:49 <electrohead> Want to hear my story? It's so sad lol
04:56:13 <K> ur lazy bum
04:56:17 <arch> lol
04:56:50 <steve30> I'll make you a slot specially on the news tonight
04:57:18 <steve30> "Coming up at 6, electrohead runs out of beer. Find out why in 5 minutes."
04:58:02 <K> (i did not mean that about lazy and bum)
05:01:54 <electrohead> Lol
05:02:01 <electrohead> Yo K and arch o/
05:02:21 <electrohead> steve30: I actually have half a case of busch lite in the fridge. just no IPA's :(
05:02:26 <K> aye
05:02:32 * steve30 has no beer at all
05:02:38 <electrohead> :/
05:02:41 <electrohead> !beer steve30
05:02:42 * EEVBot viciously drowns steve30 in a vat of warm, putrid beer
05:02:48 <electrohead> no.
05:02:49 <electrohead> !beer steve30
05:02:49 * EEVBot offers liquid awesomeness to steve30
05:02:52 <electrohead> there we go.

05:06:31 <arch> hi
05:07:00 <electrohead> arch: sup stud muffin
05:07:15 <arch> :3
05:07:25 <electrohead> you know it <3
05:07:32 <arch> i spent $300 on an electronics order yesterday =(
05:07:51 <arch> im making a thermal camera using the FLIR lepton
05:08:02 <electrohead> oh cool

05:08:15 <EEVBot> [url] DIY-Thermocam | Open-source thermal imaging for everyone! | www.diy-thermocam.net
05:08:16 <electrohead> I just spent $400 a few days ago, awaiting said gear to show up today :)
05:13:18 <arch> what did ya get?
05:13:21 <arch> what kinda project
05:15:02 <electrohead> So, work has ruined me; have been using a hakko soldering station, and a hakko desoldering gun
05:15:18 <electrohead> I went to go desolder a few caps the other night, and .. realized the ZD-915 sucks ass
05:16:05 <arch> lol
05:16:21 <arch> hakko desoldering guns cost $350, but well worth it

05:16:47 <electrohead> that's what is showing up today
05:17:14 <electrohead> Funny enough, I mentioned this to my boss, and he's like .. we have older hakko stations and irons that still work, should have talked to me
05:17:35 <electrohead> But it's like, I don't want to keep accepting gear for dirt cheap from him; slim chance it gets used against me?
05:17:36 <electrohead> Ehh
05:17:57 <arch> i dont have a hakko soldering iron. i find the 50W iron provided by the Yihua 858D sufficient for my needs, mainly because i use a beefy tip (chisel tip)
05:18:30 <electrohead> I like using a small-ish chisel tip for almost everything
05:19:06 <electrohead> Now that said - I was just installing these weird ass RAM chips on the VME boards the last two days - I had to use someone else's iron, that has a curved small tip
05:19:09 <electrohead> !twss
05:19:09 <EEVBot> That's what she said!
05:19:15 <arch> the FR301 desoldering pump has made up its worth by now, from the amount of parts i've salvaged with it lol
05:19:22 <arch> !rimshot
05:19:23 <EEVBot> ba dum tss!
05:20:15 <arch> desoldering TO-257 mosfets with it is a breeze, same for schottky diodes, or transformers, etc
05:20:58 <electrohead> I wasn't thinking; totally should have gone with the hakko base station that supports two irons
05:21:26 <electrohead> From time to time, I need two irons to safely desolder massive SMD components (like IGBT's), without destroying shit
05:21:33 <electrohead> Chip quick is nice, but .. ehh
05:28:20 <arch> just jizz on it
05:50:19 <Kuschelpony> ah new photos https://rubber-social-media.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/cache/media_attachments/files/109/728/431/327/438/848/original/8db36e0d2ca938c9.jpeg

07:27:01 <Ampera> how are you doing catto?
07:27:51 <steve30> Just relaxing after this afternoons transgendering
07:28:12 <Ampera> how did that go then?
07:28:17 <steve30> electrohead summed it up nicely: "<electrohead> Why exactly do you go to things like that? (out of curiosity)"
07:28:25 <Ampera> Was it enriching and enlightening?
07:29:21 <steve30> Yup
07:30:01 <Ampera> backlog suggests you got chased out of there
07:30:47 <Ampera> Sounds like the actions of reasonable adults who are content with their life choices.
07:30:56 <steve30> Out of all the protests I've been to over the last 3 years, they were the only one who strongly opposed my being there.
07:31:12 <Ampera> They sound like a bunch of homophobes :)
07:31:46 <steve30> I appreciate that they are concerned about privacy, but legally there is no expectation of privacy in a public place. Trans activists seem to think they are exempt from that.
07:32:00 <Ampera> Trans activists think they are exempt from everything.
07:32:03 <Ampera> Especially human decency.
07:32:38 <Ampera> Why try to peacefully and intelligently spread a message about a serious issue that genuinely affects you, when you can just shout anyone who questions you out of your way and ruin their lives?
07:32:46 <steve30> I did manage to engage some of them in conversation (they were a bit 'mouthy') and did do some interviews, so i got what i wanted.
07:33:29 <Ampera> That's good
07:33:50 <Ampera> Let me know when you publish the video. It might kill me with cringe to watch it, but I'll at least try :)
07:34:40 <steve30> I'm doing this as part of a longer term documentary project on LGBT issues so there won't be a youtube video. But I can send you some raw footage if you like as long as you don't publish it anywhere.
07:36:19 <Ampera> It's no big deal. That kinda stuff mostly depresses and angers me, so it's mostly just me being curious.
07:38:58 <steve30> It was funny when they said through the megaphone "Just be aware there's someone at the back filming despite being asked to stop!"
07:39:32 <Ampera> imo if a protest tells people to stop filming, it's because they intend to turn it into peaceful riot.
07:39:55 <Ampera> to start throwing some peaceful bricks through some peaceful windows
07:40:35 <Ampera> Just be safe steve30. There's people like that, and people who wouldn't hesitate to go way over the level of human decency to destroy you and your life.
07:40:50 <Ampera> People have gotten their houses burned down for less.
07:41:13 <Ampera> That's the second big reason why I don't engage with this bullshit.
07:41:51 <steve30> I didn't bother taking my expenisve new 4K camcorder
07:42:00 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) EOF from client
07:42:09 <steve30> I took an older knackered MiniDV one on purpose :)
07:44:47 <steve30> You really should have come with me. That would have been interesting.
07:46:01 <Ampera> idk, I'm not really that confrontational
07:47:08 <steve30> You could always bring popcorn
07:55:49 <steve30> OH NO, someone photographed a trans protest in Glasgow and put it on Reddit
07:55:51 <steve30> https://teddit.pussthecat.org/pics/w:null_qf7vunp2ogda1.jpg
07:56:24 <electrohead> Looks like a party lol
07:56:57 <Ampera> the smell was undoubtedly legendary
08:10:53 <electrohead> I'm hungry for tuna, all of a sudden
08:11:22 <Ampera> I was thinking fish, but more in terms of smell, not in terms of wanting to have any
08:12:07 <electrohead> lol
08:17:55 <jaymax> Not a pussy hat to be seen
08:35:58 <steve30> i haven't had tuna for a long time
08:37:41 <steve30> I used to quite like treating myself to a piece of tuna when i went to the fish mongers
08:45:39 * jaymax offers the steve30 some tunafish
08:50:49 <jaymax> Aside from a few times in my 20's (and excluding any time I ate sushi), I tend to only have canned tuna.
08:51:41 <rust4> I never figured out how to make a meal out of tuna, so I just get tins of tuna in oil, dump the oil, and eat the rest
08:52:04 <jaymax> Tuna in oil? Damn lucky.
08:52:32 <rust4> it is usually better than the water or gel stuff, so that is what I buy
08:54:00 <jaymax> It's sandwich material or on top of a crusty bread toasted, here.
08:54:11 <jaymax> Or tuna casserole.
08:54:47 <rust4> I hear about that, but... I do not like it. so I just eat it out of the tin, as a quick lunch
08:55:46 <steve30> I tuna steak is nice fried up and just served with your normal preference of vegetables/potatoes
08:55:47 <jaymax> It's also very useful in a hoisin/veggie/buckwheat-noodle stirfry.
08:56:47 <rust4> oh, now I want grilled whale. that is nice
08:57:14 <jaymax> rust4 you really do have all the good things.
08:57:53 <rust4> well, I can get frozen blocks of whale in almost any store. But fresh is very nice
08:58:59 <rust4> the guy who used to rent downstairs brother, was catching whale, so we some times got some, that was just a few hours old.
08:59:04 <rust4> that was wery nice
09:27:26 <steve30> Ampera, I just remembered, someone else I spoke to earlier said she (they?) was also a videographer, and she insisted that I needed all of the 200 people's consent :D
09:27:47 <Ampera> no clue how the laws work there, but public place == right to film
09:28:00 <steve30> I didn't think at the time, but I should have told her about how I ended up on BBC news last week /without/ giving my consent
09:28:06 <rust4> yeah. if they are outside in a public place, blah
09:28:45 <jaymax> Protestors always try to set their own rules. No matter who the protesters are.
09:29:10 <Ampera> I almost thought you said prosecutors
09:29:26 <Ampera> not that it would be any less accurate
09:30:40 <jaymax> Protestors tend to be judge, jury, and executioner in their clique, yes.
09:31:35 <jaymax> Martial law and all that.

15:59:53 <MrMobodies> Hello
15:59:58 <Halcyon> Hey MrMobodies
16:00:31 <MrMobodies> I made a script for my camera folder
16:00:33 <MrMobodies> https://youtu.be/pYwFjTJbIOQ
16:00:33 <EEVBot> [YouTube] Samba Filesharing script for camera folder | 3m 30s | Channel: Rskeats | 0 views | 2023-01-22 - 04:50:33UTC
16:00:50 <MrMobodies> I mean the phone camera
16:01:00 <MrMobodies> two networks
16:01:08 <MrMobodies> one router wifi
16:01:17 <MrMobodies> the other usb wifi
16:01:33 <MrMobodies> so no matter which one it will find it
16:01:35 <Halcyon> So what does it do?
16:01:56 <MrMobodies> opens the picture folder on my phone through the wifi network
16:02:09 <Halcyon> Oh right
16:02:12 <MrMobodies> shared with "Sambafilesharing" 2011
16:02:17 <MrMobodies> but there are two networks
16:02:31 <MrMobodies> so the script will check which IP it is on
16:02:37 <MrMobodies> and point it to the correct url
16:02:45 <MrMobodies> so if I am out, I use the wifi dongle
16:02:52 <Halcyon> I see... however, can't you just create a shared folder/drive pointing to your phone's hostname?
16:02:52 <MrMobodies> at home it connects to a router wifi
16:02:59 <Halcyon> The router will direct it to the current IP
16:03:34 <MrMobodies> I find it easier just to get contents of as manually as I can
16:03:45 <MrMobodies> and also I don't want to end up with dead shortcuts
16:03:56 <MrMobodies> that causes explorer to hang for a bit
16:04:07 <MrMobodies> oooh
16:04:13 <MrMobodies> the phone doesnt displau
16:04:16 <MrMobodies> it's hostname
16:04:17 <Halcyon> No I understand that, but instead of opening \\192.168.137.100\share, open \\hostname\share
16:04:28 <MrMobodies> which is a pain really
16:04:31 <MrMobodies> oooh
16:04:40 <MrMobodies> I suppose i could do that
16:04:43 <MrMobodies> with the host file
16:04:46 <Halcyon> If it's Android, it's whatever the name of your phone is. Settings > About Phone > Device Name
16:05:09 <MrMobodies> apparently it doesn't seem to resolve it's name
16:05:16 <MrMobodies> despite setting it on the phone
16:05:26 <MrMobodies> whatever the ip is is the name
16:05:32 <Halcyon> It may not be reporting it to DHCP, or something on your router is happening.
16:05:32 <MrMobodies> it is a really old Android though
16:05:36 <MrMobodies> Marsmallow i THINK
16:05:50 <Halcyon> But you could set up a DHCP reservation based on the MAC address and specify a hostname at the router
16:06:00 <MrMobodies> aaah the wifi is behind a router behind pfsense
16:06:03 <MrMobodies> lets see
16:06:10 <MrMobodies> I forgot about that
16:06:28 <Halcyon> Oh if it's pfSense, that's easy, whatever hostname you give it in DHCP is what it will resolve to on the network
16:06:31 <MrMobodies> yes I found it
16:06:33 <MrMobodies> silly me
16:06:51 <MrMobodies> it connects to a Draytek 2830 just for the wifi
16:06:55 <MrMobodies> and Pfsense does the DHCP
16:07:17 <Halcyon> Yeh so your Draytek is purely the access point, your pfsense box does the routing/DNS/DHCP ?
16:07:20 <MrMobodies> lets see if it will ping for both
16:07:22 <MrMobodies> yes
16:07:33 <Halcyon> Yep perfect, do you can do that all within pfsense
16:07:35 <Halcyon> *so
16:07:43 <MrMobodies> the wifi?
16:07:49 <MrMobodies> all the slots are used up
16:07:52 <Halcyon> Name resolution on both networks
16:07:57 <MrMobodies> I see
16:08:33 <Halcyon> Do you have a DHCP reservation currently on both those networks for the MAC address?
16:08:39 <MrMobodies> lets test that hostname
16:08:41 <MrMobodies> oh yes
16:09:02 <MrMobodies> no not resolvable
16:09:08 <MrMobodies> Ill look at the pfsense dns
16:09:10 <Halcyon> Yep, so on pfsense under Services > DHCP if you edit the resolution and put something in the "hostname" field, it will pass that onto the DNS resolver
16:09:22 <MrMobodies> I remember now doing this for the Toshiba flashair
16:09:27 <MrMobodies> years ago
16:09:42 <Halcyon> But make sure your DHCP server settinfs are set to register host names in the DNS resolver (there is a ticky box for that)
16:10:00 <MrMobodies> but yes the phone ip is reachable on the other network
16:11:03 <Halcyon> But otherwise yeh your script is neat
16:11:18 <Halcyon> I do everything by hostnames (and aliases) on my network
16:11:41 <MrMobodies> I took the script from a VPN site in 2011
16:11:44 <MrMobodies> to keep the vpn's upp
16:12:05 <MrMobodies> found someone's script on stackeechange to turn on the hotspot
16:12:11 <MrMobodies> and made a few changes
16:12:18 <MrMobodies> hardly any work
16:12:33 <Halcyon> For example, my time server might have the hostname of SYDSPRD-TM2000B.domain.com.au but there is an alias of time.domain.com.au that goes to the same IP
16:13:41 <MrMobodies> when I am out with the phone, silly me it would work with the hostname when connected directly
16:13:58 <MrMobodies> and with pfsense just add the hostname and ip
16:14:40 <MrMobodies> ooops
16:14:44 <MrMobodies> domain field is required
16:15:14 <Halcyon> Your "domain" is whatever you use internally. You'll find that under the General pfsense settings (or on the dashboard)
16:15:33 <Halcyon> I assume it's the case you don't have an actual internet domain
16:15:49 <MrMobodies> nope
16:16:25 <Halcyon> Yeh so you'll still have a domain, it just won't be public. A lot of people use .local (but I'd change that if you do, as it can clash with some devices)
16:17:02 <MrMobodies> aah yes like some of the ISP bundled routers
16:17:20 <Halcyon> Yeh and some Crapple devices
16:17:44 <Halcyon> home.arpa is a reserved "special use" domain for internal networks
16:18:15 <MrMobodies> I never knew that
16:18:22 <Halcyon> :)

16:18:46 <EEVBot> [url] RFC 8375 - Special-Use Domain 'home.arpa.' | datatracker.ietf.org
16:19:01 <MrMobodies> what I'll do later
16:19:09 <MrMobodies> I'll add all the flashair wifi sdcards on
16:19:14 <MrMobodies> and make sure they all work
16:19:18 <MrMobodies> with the hostname
16:19:35 <MrMobodies> flashair1 - flashair8
16:19:47 <MrMobodies> they support webdav
16:20:07 <MrMobodies> so as I am taking pictures I could just drag them off the same way
16:20:35 <MrMobodies> I once had a script before I moved
16:20:42 <MrMobodies> that ran on the big server like that
16:20:52 <MrMobodies> to wait and if it was present to copy all the photos
16:20:58 <MrMobodies> using a robocopy script
16:21:19 <MrMobodies> set with some switches to not download the whole thing again
16:21:24 <Halcyon> BRB just on the phone
16:25:18 <MrMobodies> looks like they don't seem the anymore

16:26:30 <MrMobodies> aaah I gave Ampera one of those last year that I bundled in a sdcard to sata converter
16:26:41 <MrMobodies> what a useful website: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8375
16:26:42 <EEVBot> [url] RFC 8375 - Special-Use Domain 'home.arpa.' | datatracker.ietf.org
16:26:45 <MrMobodies> thanks for that
16:27:39 <MrMobodies> I wouldn't really class it as the typical home network.
16:28:14 <MrMobodies> I don't think the average consumer would be happy with the amount of switches and routers that I put together
16:28:18 <MrMobodies> that's a joke
16:30:40 <MrMobodies> So when I get the hostname sorted out I could reduce that script quite a lot
16:30:55 <MrMobodies> and it is me forgetting so many things lately
16:31:20 <MrMobodies> that it's making me inefficient
16:38:57 <MrMobodies> not working, I;ll just sort it out later when I am feeling better
16:39:02 <MrMobodies> I am taking the antibiotics
16:39:07 <MrMobodies> and this cough is getting worse
16:39:30 <MrMobodies> it is the wrong antibiotics (only does chest not throat and ear)
16:39:44 <MrMobodies> as they are short of peniccilian for the amoxcillians
16:40:11 <MrMobodies> I have been sleeping on my chair for 4 days in this workshop which is not normal.
16:40:28 <MrMobodies> it is a reclining chair that is comofortable so I am lucky in that respect
16:40:44 <MrMobodies> I can't lie down and sleep because I get an intense irritation in my throat
16:40:58 <MrMobodies> that even the Night Nurse don't fix
16:41:15 <MrMobodies> my family have still got it
16:46:26 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
16:49:10 <MrMobodies> yep got it working
16:49:23 <MrMobodies> Pinging flashair1.test.com [10.10.111.60] with 32 bytes of data
16:49:46 <MrMobodies> now I will have to name some stuff and work out some sensible names
16:50:59 <Halcyon> You can use .local but there are some edge cases where it could cause issues, I've never personally ran into one
16:53:14 <MrMobodies> or what I could do, I think did this in the past
16:53:22 <MrMobodies> export the pfsense config
16:53:29 <MrMobodies> manually put it in without the domain
16:53:32 <MrMobodies> and see what it does
16:53:57 <Halcyon> I didn't think the domain was mandatory in DHCP? It should apply the system doamain
16:53:59 <Halcyon> domain
16:55:32 <MrMobodies> in 2020 there was some change from 2.0.5 to 2.5.0 something to do with the static ip's where it wouldn't let me add them when they were changed
16:55:41 <MrMobodies> I edited the config and it roekd
16:55:44 <MrMobodies> *worked
16:56:14 <Halcyon> Nice
16:56:53 <MrMobodies> it some restriction on there were it refused to add some in the range provided, but wasn't a problem in 2.0.5
16:57:26 <MrMobodies> but by that time, I'd have ssd copy waiting just incase something goes wrong
16:57:32 <MrMobodies> with my edit of the config
16:58:29 <MrMobodies> I was reading about Elizabeth Holmes recently
16:58:36 <MrMobodies> I think she should be given an award
16:58:59 <MrMobodies> Joke: "An award for the one of the most influencial people of all time"
16:59:10 <MrMobodies> how she sucked all those investors in
16:59:23 <MrMobodies> and the judge being lenient on her
16:59:37 <MrMobodies> I see it with her like an art
16:59:57 <MrMobodies> Greasing people up and sliming her way through
17:00:21 <MrMobodies> as part of her influence
17:06:17 <Halcyon> Yeh so if you've defined a range in DHCP say 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.254/24 you can't add a reservation for anything in that range
17:06:44 <Halcyon> Best practice is to allocate a specific range for dynamic addresses and have all your static mappings outside that range
17:06:53 <MrMobodies> aaah
17:07:07 <Halcyon> For example, my dynamic range is 10.78.10.100 to 10.78.10.254
17:07:27 <MrMobodies> oh no
17:07:32 <MrMobodies> I did put a range on
17:07:42 <Halcyon> SOME DHCP servers allow you to define static IPs within a DHCP scope (like Windows Server), but it's not recommended
17:07:46 <MrMobodies> 60 hosrs
17:07:57 <MrMobodies> 10.10.111.1 - 10.10.111.60
17:08:11 <MrMobodies> and the phone is on a dynamic I got to change it
17:08:27 <Halcyon> Yeh so you can add static mappings for 10.10.111.61 to 10.10.111.254 (assuming you're using a /24 network)
17:08:41 <MrMobodies> yes it is /24
17:09:09 <Halcyon> If you are going to add static IPs on your network, I always recommend you do it in DHCP, as in, add a reservation for a device on the server itself, don't "hard code" it on the device.
17:09:34 <Halcyon> Otherwise you can easily lose track of what has what. Use the DHCP server itself as your "source of truth" when it comes to your IP address plan
17:10:10 <Halcyon> It also saves you from having to keep spreadsheets (which you inevitably not update and they become useless to you)
17:10:12 <MrMobodies> I have got to have a big sort out
17:10:27 <MrMobodies> with the network dtuff
17:10:32 <MrMobodies> it is messy at the moment
17:10:38 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/fxE5gNK.jpg
17:10:40 <Halcyon> Yep, been there, done that
17:11:02 <Halcyon> Holy fucking VLANs batman
17:11:05 <MrMobodies> after what happened with the LokiBot in 2020 that's is why I made it like that
17:11:31 <MrMobodies> I don't want certain things talking to one another like my tv in the lounge
17:11:38 <Halcyon> Good idea
17:11:52 <Halcyon> But being THAT segregated is a bit over the top
17:12:06 <MrMobodies> yes
17:12:06 <Halcyon> Dedicate VLANs to classes of devices
17:12:12 <Halcyon> Lump all the IOT shit together
17:12:15 <MrMobodies> I did think of something
17:12:21 <MrMobodies> instead of vlans
17:12:24 <MrMobodies> well that many
17:12:32 <MrMobodies> what if I used
17:12:35 <MrMobodies> bridging
17:12:42 <MrMobodies> by individual port
17:12:45 <MrMobodies> then control them that way
17:13:02 <MrMobodies> so one network, bridging, and then i can set the rules
17:13:11 <MrMobodies> and interface groups are quite handy for that
17:13:21 <Halcyon> Yeh you could do it that way
17:13:31 <MrMobodies> I wonder can add overheard
17:13:40 <MrMobodies> I know there is offloading in the NIC for vlans
17:13:53 <Halcyon> I'd have to look at your actual config to see how you've got it set up, but for all intents and purposes, VLANs are a much tidier set up
17:13:56 <MrMobodies> oooh sorry can it add more overhead
17:14:04 <Halcyon> Define the rules based on network, not per-device
17:14:08 <Halcyon> Less Administration
17:14:19 <MrMobodies> I might do that
17:14:29 <MrMobodies> later on I'll get hold the config
17:14:40 <MrMobodies> I got to take my antibotics soon and sleep for a while
17:14:48 <MrMobodies> it is 6:14 in the morning
17:14:58 <MrMobodies> thanks for helping
17:15:02 <Halcyon> Anytime
17:15:18 <MrMobodies> I'd like to give that bridging idea a go at some point

17:21:18 <MrMobodies> ooh window stucj
17:21:32 <MrMobodies> soviet modem
17:21:51 <MrMobodies> I have an old Racal 2.4kbps somewhere
17:21:53 <MrMobodies> with a display
17:22:07 <MrMobodies> taken from Chubbs alarms in the late 8's
17:23:01 <Halcyon> Nice!
17:23:02 <MrMobodies> interesting a 19200 modem
17:23:08 <MrMobodies> ahead of it's time
17:23:16 <Halcyon> I have a few old modems, I donated one to Dave for his mailbag years ago
17:23:23 <Halcyon> I think it was a 9600 baud
17:23:34 <MrMobodies> I have a box of old isa ones in the attic
17:23:56 <MrMobodies> a 56k rocket well video capture I got for £5 in 2000
17:24:08 <Halcyon> Those old Rockwell modems were awesome
17:24:08 <MrMobodies> to replace the shitty 3com robotics
17:24:26 <MrMobodies> unfortunately we had thunder and lightening one day
17:24:29 <MrMobodies> which it somewhere
17:24:30 <Halcyon> If you ever look to sell any of them, I might be interested
17:24:36 <MrMobodies> and it killed the fuse
17:24:40 <MrMobodies> okay
17:24:47 <MrMobodies> If you want them Ill just send them
17:24:48 <Halcyon> I have a long on-going project at the moment where I am setting up my own analog dialup "ISP" at home
17:25:03 <MrMobodies> I don't believe in charging a lot of them
17:25:08 <Halcyon> I've been thinking about perhaps recording the journey and uploading to the Youtubes
17:25:14 <MrMobodies> I think it is terrible what they do on Ebay
17:25:24 <MrMobodies> overcharging for old stuff
17:25:36 <MrMobodies> 3dfx Voodoo 5500 £600
17:25:46 <Halcyon> Some stuff I can understand, as it's rare and valuable. Original Voodoo cards for example.
17:25:51 <MrMobodies> nowhere near worth it
17:25:54 <MrMobodies> aaah
17:26:02 <MrMobodies> I got one in 2001
17:26:03 <Halcyon> I had 3 but I donated one to Ampera
17:26:12 <MrMobodies> seems to do the anti alasing very well
17:26:14 <Halcyon> But yeh some stuff is just well overprised
17:26:18 <Halcyon> *overpriced
17:26:23 <MrMobodies> ooh that means he as 4
17:26:29 <MrMobodies> the Voodoo 2 I sent him
17:26:34 <Halcyon> But yeh, if you want to sell them, let me know what you have, I'll be interested
17:26:46 <Halcyon> (Same with any other retro tech, I would put it to use)
17:27:00 <MrMobodies> I'll see what I got but I don't want to charge you
17:27:05 <MrMobodies> they were given to me free mostly
17:27:12 <MrMobodies> and there is no gaurantee they will work
17:27:21 <MrMobodies> they may work here but when they turn up
17:27:23 <Halcyon> Even still, let me "buy you a beer or three"
17:27:48 <MrMobodies> what i could do, is use the netwrk HP KVM switch
17:27:53 <MrMobodies> so you can run some tests
17:28:03 <MrMobodies> on them if they work
17:28:14 <MrMobodies> I remember you said something
17:28:23 <MrMobodies> that you have an SRS3D thing
17:28:31 <MrMobodies> when I was mentioning the one on a sound card
17:28:45 <MrMobodies> sound retrieval system
17:29:02 <MrMobodies> I'd like to see if there are any differences
17:29:18 <MrMobodies> between the one you have through some streaming one day
17:29:32 <MrMobodies> I heard them varying across devices
17:29:47 <Halcyon> Yeh I need to crack out some of my retro gear. Finding the time has been hard in recent years.
17:30:09 <MrMobodies> I forgot something
17:30:27 <MrMobodies> Simon across the road who gave me this box down the pub
17:30:33 <MrMobodies> with some old vintage stuff
17:30:40 <Halcyon> What's in it?
17:30:41 <MrMobodies> in exchange for building him a little nas
17:30:53 <MrMobodies> ILLget it down
17:36:25 <MrMobodies> sorry to keep you waiting

17:36:38 <Halcyon> You have nothing to apologise for
17:36:40 <MrMobodies> I also have some boxxes full of things
17:36:47 <MrMobodies> lots of AGP video cards
17:37:00 <Halcyon> What model Voodoo card is that?
17:37:10 <Halcyon> SKY30 ?
17:38:16 <Halcyon> Hahahah I love that M Audio card "Audiophile".... yer right
17:38:25 <MrMobodies> yes some cheap copy I think
17:38:29 <Halcyon> I mean it's nice that it has RCA jacks
17:38:42 <MrMobodies> that was in the box
17:38:44 <Halcyon> Yeh I've never heard of it, nor seen something like it
17:38:46 <MrMobodies> never got around to testing it
17:38:58 <MrMobodies> he used it for his audio stuff
17:39:23 <Halcyon> Looks like it belongs with some kind of proprietary speaker system, judging by the DB-9 connector
17:39:31 <Halcyon> Logitech and others did the same thing
17:39:55 <Halcyon> Unless that port was for something else?
17:40:34 <Halcyon> Nice Thinkpad too by the way
17:41:56 <MrMobodies> here is one box
17:41:57 <MrMobodies> https://imgur.com/a/l3ufM6S
17:41:57 <EEVBot> [url] Imgur: The magic of the Internet | imgur.com
17:42:10 <MrMobodies> yes maybe i could test it later
17:42:13 <Halcyon> I
17:42:14 <MrMobodies> in fact i brought some on ebay
17:42:29 <MrMobodies> it is an audio converter what I thought I believe
17:42:30 <Halcyon> I'd love to get a list of what you have and maybe I can make you some offers?
17:42:32 <MrMobodies> it turned otu to be
17:43:03 <MrMobodies> a Nanopi Neo
17:43:16 <MrMobodies> I have been unwell to test it
17:43:29 <MrMobodies> I want to solder on an ethernet port
17:43:33 <MrMobodies> all components are there
17:43:39 <Halcyon> I see
17:43:44 <MrMobodies> I think it uses a Magiack and I have one waiting
17:44:29 <MrMobodies> o sec

17:45:24 <EEVBot> [url] Imgur: The magic of the Internet | imgur.com
17:46:03 <MrMobodies> I have a network card (brackless) to sacrifice
17:46:05 <Halcyon> What does it actually do? Analog to a digital stream?
17:46:14 <MrMobodies> I have no idea
17:46:21 <MrMobodies> the manufacturer exists but nothing about it
17:46:24 <MrMobodies> on their website
17:46:30 <MrMobodies> they do audio interfaces
17:46:43 <MrMobodies> it was sold with some usb hubs for a brightsign
17:46:45 <MrMobodies> media player
17:47:04 <MrMobodies> I saw it in the box
17:47:07 <MrMobodies> and asked the lady for it

17:47:46 <Halcyon> Ahhh they seem to been a bit of an audiophool company
17:47:49 <MrMobodies> I noticed it in the picture
17:47:49 <MrMobodies> https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/lWoAAOSwr9tjeL~e/s-l900.jpg
17:48:05 <MrMobodies> I didn't think it was going to have good DACS on there
17:48:15 <MrMobodies> but would be good to have a play with it
17:48:42 <MrMobodies> Being audifool, maybe that's why it didn't last long
17:49:03 <MrMobodies> 2017/03 date code
17:49:13 <MrMobodies> oh actually that's 6 years old
17:49:20 <MrMobodies> I keep on fogetting the time
17:52:59 <MrMobodies> when I feel better I;ll get the stuff from the attic
17:53:30 <MrMobodies> I have something you may like
17:53:32 <MrMobodies> somewhere
17:53:41 <MrMobodies> it's called an Olicom token ring adapter
17:53:45 <MrMobodies> 4/16/100 mbps
17:53:56 <MrMobodies> I have never seen 100mbps ones before
17:54:14 <MrMobodies> it even has a light for every speed
17:54:52 <MrMobodies> if you like I can send you some of those ALteon Acenic for you to have a play with
17:55:04 <MrMobodies> and experiment with comparing the offloading stuff

17:55:34 <EEVBot> [url] Retail Experts - Lynx Innovation | web.archive.org
17:55:40 <Halcyon> It looks like they used to just "make stuff" for clients
17:56:01 <MrMobodies> "Retail EXPERTS" doesn't sound inspiring to me, the words
17:56:43 <MrMobodies> "Illumination elements - product lighting, logos, graphics, etc.
17:56:43 <MrMobodies> Lightbox assemblies"
17:56:49 <MrMobodies> looks like this was custom
17:56:53 <Halcyon> Without doing further research, I'd probably put that in the "garbage products" pile to be honest
17:57:13 <Halcyon> Yeh some kind of custom product for some kind of purpose.
17:57:18 <MrMobodies> I see so getting it to do audio capturing is going to be pointless
17:57:24 <MrMobodies> and poor quality
17:57:36 <Halcyon> Probably needed some proprietary software/drivers too

17:57:51 <MrMobodies> actually I found the give it away
17:58:06 <MrMobodies> unless they locked it down
17:58:16 <MrMobodies> when they ordered them without the ethernet port
17:58:28 <Halcyon> Oh was that in there?
17:58:59 <Halcyon> Might be interesting to dump the firmware and see if anything interesting comes up
17:59:45 <MrMobodies> yes it has an asd card
17:59:51 <MrMobodies> I did a disc image already

18:00:47 <Halcyon> Yeh who knows.
18:01:12 <MrMobodies> it'd be fun to see what it can do
18:01:23 <MrMobodies> ill start with the ethernet port
18:01:32 <MrMobodies> later in th eweek
18:01:46 <MrMobodies> but I don't expect much from it
18:02:13 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Connection closed
18:02:16 <MrMobodies> I have
18:02:31 <MrMobodies> a couple of network seriak ports
18:02:48 <MrMobodies> Moxa and some other
18:03:09 <MrMobodies> I could connect it up and folks here can have a little play
18:03:24 <MrMobodies> through telnet
18:03:28 <MrMobodies> how does that sound?
18:04:05 <Halcyon> It'd be interesting to see if the firmware includes an Ethernet stack or even something like a HTTP server for a webGUI
18:04:21 <Halcyon> Might give away some more information about what it does
18:04:36 <MrMobodies> AAAHA interesting

18:05:52 <Halcyon> Or ADC should I say
18:06:25 <MrMobodies> what about quality wise?
18:06:33 <Halcyon> No idea?
18:06:34 <MrMobodies> Shenzen style quality?
18:06:42 <Halcyon> Being TI, probably not
18:07:20 <MrMobodies> when I get that going if it works thatd be nice
18:07:50 <MrMobodies> got to tacke my anti biotics
18:08:03 <Halcyon> BRB phone again
18:20:47 <Halcyon> Back
18:24:35 <MrMobodies> yesterday when just before I took first antibotice of the second lot
18:25:02 <MrMobodies> the more i drink
18:25:12 <MrMobodies> the more flem I spit or cough up
18:25:14 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/Aiewrw1.jpg
18:25:20 <MrMobodies> would you day that is normal
18:25:47 <Halcyon> I did not need to see that
18:25:48 <MrMobodies> I am coughing up these yellow hard bits too
18:25:49 <Halcyon> Hahahaha
18:25:57 <Halcyon> Well it's your body expelling the crap
18:26:02 <Halcyon> Better out than in
18:26:28 <MrMobodies> so much of flem
18:26:42 <MrMobodies> its not normal from my experience of the usual cold
18:26:55 <MrMobodies> I have that tingling right now in my throat
18:27:04 <MrMobodies> I can sleep upright on this chair
18:27:19 <MrMobodies> but not flat on the bed
18:27:36 <MrMobodies> this is the first cold where I had that problem
18:27:49 <MrMobodies> my sister had to sleep upright on her couch
18:27:53 <MrMobodies> for a week
18:28:01 <Halcyon> Oh gees
18:28:18 <MrMobodies> I don't suppose you had anything like that
18:28:27 <MrMobodies> stopping you from sleeping normal
18:28:41 <Halcyon> I've never been seriously ill
18:28:49 <MrMobodies> a paramedic told me he had his for 3 months
18:28:49 <Halcyon> So I'm fortunate in that regard
18:28:54 <MrMobodies> for 3 days he had that tingling
18:29:51 <MrMobodies> have you come across what Compaq use to do before the 2000's
18:30:00 <MrMobodies> on some of their servers
18:30:19 <MrMobodies> at a school they tried upgrading and it would no longer recognise the discs
18:30:34 <MrMobodies> I remember reading they formatted them in such a way
18:30:40 <MrMobodies> and the bootloader too
18:30:51 <MrMobodies> so if there changes it wouldn't register int he bios
18:31:00 <MrMobodies> and they were told to send the drives to Compaq
18:31:05 <Halcyon> Not for a long time. I did have some old huge Compaq servers but I got rid of them, one of them was on wheels and sounded like a vacuum cleaner
18:31:06 <MrMobodies> isn't that a bit silly
18:31:12 <MrMobodies> aaah
18:31:20 <MrMobodies> I had a Dell 2400 lik that
18:31:20 <Halcyon> The only old servers I have at the moment are the old HP NetServer series
18:31:29 <MrMobodies> a fault that caused the fans to go max
18:31:56 <MrMobodies> my first proper server was one I built in 2007 and some others I got spare
18:32:04 <MrMobodies> that one is still in the garage
18:32:09 <MrMobodies> a Tyan S2721
18:32:26 <MrMobodies> I use to run some games for a website, Gamesvault.net
18:32:33 <MrMobodies> just Unrealtorunament
18:32:46 <MrMobodies> and someone were making maps for it
18:32:48 <MrMobodies> in their name
18:32:56 <MrMobodies> it was great whilst it lasted
18:33:00 <MrMobodies> but the ping wa sa real problem
18:33:08 <Halcyon> Heh
18:33:11 <Halcyon> Back in the day
18:33:14 <MrMobodies> 60ms to 80ms
18:35:40 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/U5vG3LQ.jpg
18:35:50 <MrMobodies> that's when I first got it

18:36:16 <MrMobodies> Megarad 1600 enterprise
18:37:18 <MrMobodies> pci bridge controller -> 2x qlogic scsi 160 controllers (4 channel) -> 100 to 133mhz bridge controller -> I960RN and sdram battery backup memory
18:37:36 <MrMobodies> oh actuall ynot it as 66mhz to 100mhz

18:42:39 <MrMobodies> That was August 2007
18:42:42 <Halcyon> Such a nice looking board. Look at those heatsinks
18:42:50 <MrMobodies> £200 for the case and £200 for the psu
18:42:56 <MrMobodies> oh I have something better the next year
18:43:02 <MrMobodies> I brought it for the cpus
18:43:13 <MrMobodies> and didnt realize it had more buses

18:45:52 <MrMobodies> that was in about August 2008
18:46:09 <MrMobodies> when I discovered the Alteon Acenics that I got some San Jose
18:46:29 <MrMobodies> in my first lot of 8 ($12) customs didn't seem to bother
18:48:57 <MrMobodies> oh yes and that was that inefficient noisy switch
18:48:58 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/oQrVZLd.jpg
18:50:15 <MrMobodies> that Supermico (two of them broke many years later)
18:50:24 <MrMobodies> I put them under a lot of stress
18:50:57 <MrMobodies> 16gb of ram I got cheap and with all the hardware in them the 5v rail was low to start with
18:51:14 <MrMobodies> but the Tyan S2721 worked right up until the day I pulled it out
18:51:20 <MrMobodies> of a building firm
18:51:34 <MrMobodies> 4.01 seek time
18:51:46 <MrMobodies> now an SSD can do that in 0.01ms
18:52:40 <MrMobodies> thats 6 scsi drives 15000rpm on that Megaraid 1600 Enterprise controller with 3 drives per channel
18:53:14 <MrMobodies> also with no heating in the attic at the time it solved the problem up there
18:53:29 <MrMobodies> with a bit of noise that i tollerated
18:58:51 <MrMobodies> oh no

19:01:02 <MrMobodies> well I have taken them and cant eat cetarin things 2 hours before or after
19:01:12 <MrMobodies> I did buy something called Jakemans
19:01:22 <MrMobodies> it works though
19:01:25 <MrMobodies> for a while
19:01:39 <MrMobodies> I am going to lie down in this chair and sleep for about 5 to 6 hours
