00:04:01 <MrMobodies> if it could run it that'd be nice
00:04:11 <MrMobodies> I don't need the wifi stuff
00:04:27 <MrMobodies> and that uses I thin about 5w
00:05:18 <MrMobodies> what I don't want to happen is work on something, spanner in the works and it gets stuck with me
00:05:41 <MrMobodies> so I'll work on many things with that NUT plaform on
00:05:48 <MrMobodies> and see which is most convenient
00:06:00 <MrMobodies> but the Raspberry Pi I think might be worth it
00:06:19 <MrMobodies> after i get it working and then set one of those up
00:19:32 <flyback> yeah see with the rasppi you can set a power loss safe filesystem
00:19:37 <flyback> and not have any data on it
00:19:44 <flyback> so if it has to die with the ups shuts off
00:19:53 <flyback> everything else is safety shutdown
00:20:19 <flyback> but you should be able to configure the pi to shutdown in time with the ups
00:20:23 <flyback> or have it's own battery
00:20:25 <flyback> either way

01:02:17 <MrMobodies> all I did was uninstall it
01:03:01 <MrMobodies> that was installed a couple of years ago on the datalogger and cloned it onto another minipc

01:40:56 <MrMobodies> looks like it shows up as a battery device on the USB port

01:40:57 <EEVBot> [url] Imgur: The magic of the Internet | i.imgur.com
01:41:11 <MrMobodies> which means I'll have to break up a serial cable
01:41:23 <MrMobodies> but there IS a serial port on that minipc that i installed
01:41:28 <MrMobodies> so no lousy USB adaptor

01:43:53 <MrMobodies> well lots of experiments tonight
01:44:10 <MrMobodies> I'll run that homeassistant with the serial port unplugged and see what happens
01:44:22 <MrMobodies> the one it was hanging one was th MOXA N port
01:44:44 <MrMobodies> there is no way I am paying £50 for a lousy "SIGNAL" cable

02:16:57 <Ampera> T3sl4, no u
02:18:24 <T3sl4> that's factually incorrect
02:18:26 <T3sl4> i love myself
02:18:38 * Ampera hugs T3sl4
02:18:52 <Ampera> I above all people know that I am an awful person and do not deserve love
02:18:58 * T3sl4 hugs Ampera and sneaks a kiss on her cheek
02:19:21 <T3sl4> no y---erm... me?
02:19:33 <flyback> oh MrMobodies
02:19:55 <flyback> there;s a firmware update to make apc ups early 2010 or so ones to support a standard protocol
02:20:00 <Ampera> T3sl4, that is assault!
02:20:03 <Ampera> keep going >:D
02:20:08 <flyback> apc decided to change their protcol so they could control shit
02:20:16 * T3sl4 ass-aults Ampera too
02:20:20 <flyback> then they got bitched at by non pc industrial stuff
02:20:24 <flyback> they broke like mainframe etc
02:20:27 <flyback> and they renigged
02:20:30 * Ampera canucks T3sl4
02:21:56 * T3sl4 snubs flyback
02:22:05 <flyback> BMCC
02:22:12 * flyback hurls nothing at T3sl4
02:28:31 <K> cease the debauchery

04:39:30 <EEVBot> [url] Parliament cancels smart meter contract to save EU funds, KNEWS | knews.kathimerini.com.cy
04:39:38 <MrMobodies> the money for them has to come from somewhere
04:40:12 <MrMobodies> they say it cannot be added to the bill or customers charged, some say they are free
04:40:40 <MrMobodies> the customer still pays for it in the through other means
04:45:23 <MrMobodies> Ups switched on at 19:23 with 36w load
04:45:42 <MrMobodies> battery charge indicator rapidly down to 2 out of 5
04:45:50 <MrMobodies> it is now 19:45
04:46:38 <MrMobodies> I wonder

04:46:42 <EEVBot> [url] RBC4 | APC UPS Replacement Battery Cartridge, for use with Smart-UPS, UPS | RS | uk.rs-online.com
04:46:56 <MrMobodies> what makes these £119.99 batteries different to the others
04:51:31 <MrMobodies> "1. Use of a non-APC battery may result in lower runtime, damage the UPS, create hazardous conditions, or void safety certifications on the UPS "
04:51:54 <MrMobodies> Damage the ups, creat HAZARDOUS conditions?
04:52:06 <MrMobodies> Is that scaremongering?
04:53:00 <MrMobodies> 1st up I got in early 2020 had a Yuasa battery purchased in early 2019 and that lasted to early 2022 I think.
04:53:16 <MrMobodies> oh date stamped 2019
04:53:42 <MrMobodies> I had one in my datalogger that was 2 years ago 12v 7a and that broke down last year
04:53:48 <MrMobodies> no problems with those
04:53:49 Quit: steve30 ([email protected]) Quit: <Ampera> steve30, if that quit message gets any older they're gonna put it in a museum :D
04:54:10 <MrMobodies> aah UPS beeping, so battery be flat soon 19:23 t 19:54 at 36w load
04:54:17 <MrMobodies> still going though with fan
04:58:15 <MrMobodies> 19:58 flat
04:58:57 <MrMobodies> okay the ups works but as anticipated battery life not great
05:02:41 <MrMobodies> fan should have lasted 5 hours but only laste 35 minutes
05:02:56 <MrMobodies> so battery need replacing

20:18:17 <K> :/
20:39:39 Quit: watcher ([email protected]) Quit: I'm out
21:33:13 <Ysjoelfir> :O
21:33:35 * Ysjoelfir jumps at Ampera, hugs and offers a cat plushie to relief a bit of pain
21:33:56 * Ampera hugs Ysjoelfir
21:34:03 <Ampera> there is no such thing as pain, only life
21:34:15 <Ampera> it is ok, I knew it was going to happen for a while, and I did what I could to spend time with her.
21:34:36 <Ysjoelfir> there is a point in that, but still, pain is allowed to exist
21:34:38 <Ampera> I am sad, but I am not inconsolable, and I just know that whatever I feel will mean I have to try even harder to appreciate the cats and people I have around me
21:34:39 <Ysjoelfir> or, sadness
21:36:01 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, what do you know of english language universities in Germany?
21:36:13 <Ampera> I am sorta entertaining the idea of maybe moving there and going to school
21:36:32 <Ysjoelfir> I don't think they exist? but many universities offer english courses
21:36:40 <Ysjoelfir> maybe they do exist
21:36:43 <Ysjoelfir> wait
21:36:54 <Ysjoelfir> now that I think about it, they certainly exist, since french ones exist as well
21:37:09 <Ampera> I am sure I could learn german enough to get around, but I doubt I'd be able to learn enough any time soon to study there
21:37:18 <Ampera> though who knows, would depend on how hard I tried
21:37:34 <Ampera> I've tried on and off to get better at german, but usually I just peter out and don't feel like dealing with it
21:38:28 <Ampera> it's simply an idea at the point, as I am trying to figure out what I want to do with my life in general and how to get there.
21:38:45 <Ampera> there would be things I'd need to accomplish here in order to make it happen
21:39:58 <Ysjoelfir> I think its a cool idea. so... why not? and what things need to be accomplished?
21:40:46 <Ampera> finding a way to make it happen financially, sorting out some of my current mental health issues, figuring out where I want to go, if they're any good, and what I'd want to study.
21:41:11 <Ampera> They might have entrance requirements that I wouldn't be able to satisfy with my current credentials
21:42:07 <Ampera> Moving to Germany would likely make dealing with my current transgender status more difficult. I think if I'd want to ever have surgery, I should do it here before I move anywhere.
21:42:25 <Ampera> I am sort of in an ideal world location to accomplish that, and I would not want to surrender that
21:45:44 <Ampera> I sort of do not like the industry I am in. Even if I got a better job, it is still a high stress low reward position where other people not doing their job can and will make my entire time horrible.
21:46:07 <Ampera> The march of AI also makes the long term prospects dubious
21:48:33 <Ysjoelfir> I see. thats a lot of questionmarks and things to do
21:55:41 <Ampera> no matter what I choose to do, it is a lot of things to do and challenges to overcome
21:55:52 <Ampera> the only thing I can really do now is decide what I want to get out of it all
22:02:25 <Ysjoelfir> thats true, but its also a good start, isnt it?
22:03:06 <Ysjoelfir> the misses and I are long time planning of moving to rust_collector land, which might happen in 10 years, or might doesnt, so.....
22:03:37 <Ampera> exponsive
22:03:39 <Ampera> but fish
22:03:57 <Ampera> idk what other country I'd move to if I had to pick
22:04:05 <Ampera> ireland would be easiest probably
22:04:22 <Ampera> france would be cool culturally, but it seems like kinda a shit place to live
22:04:43 <Ampera> perkele land seems cool, but they also seem kinda stuffy
22:05:03 <Ysjoelfir> rustyland is suprisingly affordable, if you take everything into account.
22:05:32 <Ampera> they always rocket to the top of CoL charts, but like anything I am sure it depends on who, where, and what
22:06:23 <Ysjoelfir> they earn more than we do here in germany, while paying less taxes. sure, fuel is freakishly expensive, but energy is basically free. you can't afford to buy a beer, and food is a bit more expensive than it is here, but you can buy a damn nice house with half a mountain, 3 woodlands, a river, a sea and a barn for 30 grand.
22:07:13 <Ysjoelfir> or, 60 to 100, if you don't want to spend 2 years to renovate it
22:07:35 <Ysjoelfir> which is.... like 5% of what it would cost here.
22:08:06 <Ysjoelfir> probably even less.
22:14:04 <Ampera> if all I wanted was to live somewhere else for cheap that is very easy in the US
22:14:14 <Ampera> you just move to a small state in the middle of nowhere and buy a starlink sat :P
22:14:26 <K> iowa!
22:14:31 <Ampera> solitary mountain hideout is really not what I want at the moment, though.
22:14:39 <Ampera> K, fuck iowa, they all fuckers over there.
22:14:44 <Ampera> all 23 people there are assholes
22:14:53 <K> mhh
22:15:01 <K> utah?
22:23:07 <Ampera> Utah is owned almost entirely by the mormons
22:23:17 <Ampera> which can be a good and a bad thing I suppose
22:23:30 <Ampera> they can be friendly, and they can also enjoy not leaving you alone if you are not one of them
22:41:55 <electrohead> T3sl4: I'd totally eat that lol
22:42:09 * electrohead hugs Ampera, K, and Ysjoelfir
22:42:21 * Ysjoelfir rehugs
22:42:25 <K> hnngg
22:42:32 * T3sl4 flails some hugs around
22:42:51 * electrohead squeezes T3sl4
22:44:42 <electrohead> I have acquired the sun burn, yay
22:44:55 * electrohead slaps his shoulders, wants to scream
22:45:06 <T3sl4> lobsterkind
22:45:26 * Ampera hugs electrohead, and then dusts the flecks of burnt skin off herself
22:45:27 <electrohead> I am lobsterkind.
22:47:39 * T3sl4 peels and eats electrohead like a Fruit Rollup
22:49:34 <Ampera> gross :<
