09:17:20 <Ampera> hi steve30
09:17:23 <Ampera> how's it going
09:17:43 <Ampera> I no longer have a girlfriend, as such I likely will not be visiting England in the spring.
09:18:20 <steve30> aww
09:18:34 <steve30> maybe you could go to Australia and be Halcyon's girlfriend instead :)
09:19:53 <Ampera> steve30, I think he's a bit old and gay for me.
09:19:59 <Ampera> otherwise I'd be all over him, he's kinda hot

10:57:35 Part: damitail ([email protected]) from #EEVblog
11:19:28 <MrMobodies> For someone's birthday on Saturday next week, I am not looking forward to it.
11:19:35 <MrMobodies> they want me to use Spotify
11:19:40 <MrMobodies> absolutely HORRIBLE UI
11:20:45 <MrMobodies> with the usual behind diaogue, BLUR, with a dimming overlay where I struggle to see things, in another dialogue a secondary dimming overlay
11:21:49 * steve30 fires audio cassettes at MrMobodies
11:21:55 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/52OKas1.png
11:21:57 * steve30 meows at Halcyon
11:21:59 <MrMobodies> then this:
11:22:14 <Halcyon> Hey Steve
11:22:14 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/0hkY1vi.jpeg
11:22:19 <MrMobodies> Now isn't that just stupid?
11:22:35 <Halcyon> What's stupid about it?
11:22:36 <MrMobodies> oh yes it also needs a browser to verify things
11:22:47 <MrMobodies> then it needs a 6 digit code
11:23:00 * steve30 needs coffee
11:23:12 <MrMobodies> and it has skeleton placeholders (not animated ones for goodness sake)
11:23:25 <MrMobodies> they'd kill the performance if they did
11:23:42 <MrMobodies> well I have soem decaffe somewhere
11:24:07 <MrMobodies> I was going to copy the playlist but there's like 200 songs on there
11:26:01 <MrMobodies> and it's going to include some that I despise, WANNABEE artists that copy work from other musicians and put their swearing over it. I heard a few she was showing me from her phone last week.
11:26:49 <MrMobodies> but she likes a few traditional things, Madonna and quite a few 80's stuff
11:27:17 <MrMobodies> ooh sorry
11:27:22 <MrMobodies> Halycon, the dimming overlays
11:27:41 <MrMobodies> I can't see the UI very well and I found no way to turn it into light mode
11:28:07 <MrMobodies> then there are instances when there'd be a blur, and multiple overlays which'd confuse me a bit
11:28:36 <MrMobodies> here
11:28:37 <MrMobodies> https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Light-Mode-option/idi-p/730341/page/76#comments
11:28:38 <EEVBot> [url] [All Platforms] Light Mode option - Page 76 - The Spotify Community | community.spotify.com
11:29:29 <MrMobodies> I'll just pay for Premium (she don't have Premium) to use for the month to play her stuff and let it be over
11:31:00 <MrMobodies> I mean it's in dark mode and they make it darker, as to silliness where I can't see well
11:31:22 <MrMobodies> and even darker on the dialogues within dialogues
11:39:23 <MrMobodies> Steve30, any recent protests?
11:39:29 <MrMobodies> you filmed
11:46:01 <steve30> nope
11:48:01 <electrohead> o/
14:33:39 <MrMobodies> X5DL8
14:33:41 <MrMobodies> ooops
14:34:09 <MrMobodies> just looking to see if they still exist on Ebay
14:34:19 <MrMobodies> very worried about this:
14:34:20 <MrMobodies> https://www.thecanary.co/global/world-analysis/2025/09/19/big-pharma-and-trump-coordinate-to-milk-the-nhs-dry-once-and-for-all/
14:34:21 <EEVBot> [url] Trump tries to hook up big pharma to the NHS | www.thecanary.co
14:34:45 <MrMobodies> maybe they should stick with Europe
14:35:34 <MrMobodies> I hope they make no access for Trump. Completely different health system over there.
14:37:15 <MrMobodies> and they seem to play around with drug pricing with the Pharmaceutical Benefit Managers and just switch.

16:35:52 Quit: steve30 ([email protected]) Quit: <Baljem> steve30: by the way, I had the most bizarre dream the other day that someone came in here and seriously flipped their shit over your quit message and why aren't the ops /doing/ something about it
16:54:56 <MrMobodies> Hello, something strange seems to have happened that never happened before.
16:55:05 <MrMobodies> I went to bed about 6am
16:55:17 <MrMobodies> my dad woke me up 20 minutes ago saying no internet
16:55:30 <MrMobodies> computer, tv and even this laptop
16:56:17 <MrMobodies> no ip addresses and I thought it could be the Netgear switch again that sometimes hang but after a power cycle no
16:56:42 <MrMobodies> I had another machine switched on and works, so I set a static IP and works
16:56:52 <Halcyon> So you have MAC white listing or something turned on in the router?
16:57:00 <Halcyon> *do you
16:57:37 <MrMobodies> nope
16:57:40 <MrMobodies> it turned out to be this
16:57:41 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/mSRVrrI.jpeg
16:57:51 <MrMobodies> DHCP service just was off
16:58:06 <MrMobodies> turned it back on and everything started to work
16:58:16 <MrMobodies> restarted Firestick
16:58:19 <MrMobodies> looking at the logs
16:58:35 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/9DkRiXL.jpeg
16:58:49 <MrMobodies> Not much really in there detailing it
16:58:57 <MrMobodies> maybe I should have looked at that first
16:59:15 <MrMobodies> that pfsense router had been going since about this time in 2022
16:59:40 <MrMobodies> with a few restarts over the years
17:00:03 <MrMobodies> so i find that strange how the DHCP service just stopped
17:00:57 <MrMobodies> I have a Netgear GS724v3 switch that sometimes malfunctions and gradually stops forwarding traffic by port.
17:01:13 <MrMobodies> but it wasn't that this time
17:02:13 <MrMobodies> I have vlanned off every port on most of the switches to prevent what happened in 2020.
17:04:49 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/PdLNAUe.jpeg
17:05:35 <MrMobodies> seems to work quite well over the years with hardly noticable performance overhead with the Vlans
17:08:40 <MrMobodies> The only thing I did a few days ago was set an alais or IP on the router with NAT 1:1 to forward onto my lan sharing network the new file server.
17:08:57 <MrMobodies> but this DHCP seems to have stopped a few hours after going to sleep
