00:30:24 <Vampera> how are you doing electrohead
00:30:45 <electrohead> unhugged and things, lol
00:31:05 <Vampera> feel like having a call for a lil bit? just to say hi?
00:32:41 <electrohead> maayyybe
00:32:45 <electrohead> :p
00:32:52 <electrohead> give me like 5 or 10 minutes right fast
00:33:04 <Vampera> k, lmk
00:33:50 <K> u wot
00:35:41 <Vampera> k
00:35:43 <Vampera> lmk
00:35:44 <Vampera> <3
00:36:15 <Vampera> K if I moved there could I live in your closet
00:36:27 <K> ur wierd.
00:36:54 <Vampera> yeah but you're in an IRC channel with a weird person
00:36:59 <K> true.
00:37:28 <K> would have to ask my SO about closet
00:38:23 <Vampera> I'd settle for a cellar
00:39:49 <K> no cellars here :|
00:46:22 <K> are things getting bad over there?

02:00:42 Nick: Vampera is now known as Ampera
02:00:44 <Ampera> K, yes.
02:01:09 <K> dang nabbit.
02:01:32 <K> are you seriously considering moving?
02:01:40 <Ampera> I have been considering moving all year.
02:01:57 <Ampera> I am making an attempt to gain Canadian citizenship. It is a longshot, but if it succeeds then I will move.
02:02:07 <Ampera> Otherwise I will move to Germany whenever I need to.
02:02:25 <K> i see.
02:07:03 <Ampera> K, the present controversy is that, due to the government shutdown and the executive withholding emergency funds illegally, all public food assistance has been cut off
02:07:23 <Ampera> leaving some 40 million people, a huge number of them children, without the means to find food.
02:08:34 <K> yeah i read about that
02:09:06 <K> number i read was more like 80 million iirc
02:09:13 <K> which is crazy by itself.
02:09:35 <Ampera> 41,697,500 supposedly
02:10:08 <K> maybe i misremember, but still, 40 mil is crazy enough too
02:11:01 <Ampera> Usual blame game shenanigans are going on. Many are wondering if the inveitable mass social unrest it will cause might be used as a pretense for martial law
02:11:10 <Ampera> naturally, using all the federal agents and soldiers who also aren't being paid
02:11:15 <Ampera> many of them who also are on SNAP benefits
02:12:09 <Ampera> ATC people are also not being paid, which is what ended the shutdown last time when they walked off the job en masse
02:12:34 <Ampera> Things are very different now, and it's possible all of US civil aviation could grind to a halt
02:20:07 <arch> Ampera! what happened to your alter ego? got a tan and no longer a vampire?
02:20:40 <Ampera> arch, got worried someone would confuse me for a politician, so now I'm just a closet vampire
02:20:45 <arch> lol
03:19:36 <K> aargh. why must be shipping from US so expensive :|
03:19:50 <K> granted, it is 3kg of metal, but still
03:19:59 <K> almost 200 monies

05:34:33 <Ampera> arch: no because I don't sublet my mind without charging rent
05:49:16 <MrMobodies> TrumpRx "The lowest prescription prices in America.2
05:49:31 <MrMobodies> So he's launched his own health insurance?
05:49:54 <MrMobodies> aaah trumprx.gov "TrumpRx doesn't sell medications. Instead, it connects patients directly with the best prices, increasing transparency and cutting out costly third-party markups."
05:50:55 <MrMobodies> transparency with finding "best prices" but what if the "best prices" happened to be over inflated by all of the providers.
05:51:42 <MrMobodies> maybe there are other problems where that such transparency would needed
05:53:02 <MrMobodies> hope it works becase $600+ for an inhaler where they couldn't afford it and ended up dead with an asthma attack.
06:03:26 <arch> electrohead, do you have an rfid reader by chance?
06:03:55 <arch> like for reading those codes embedded in electronic items like electronics and such from the store?
06:06:45 <electrohead> yeah I have a proxmark .. 3?
06:07:11 * electrohead looks
06:08:43 <electrohead> https://0xznc01.pw:2600/public/IMG_20251103_140747.jpg
06:08:50 <electrohead> proxmark 3 rdv2 is the version I have
06:09:01 <electrohead> (do want to upgrade to the latest and greatest eventually)
06:14:01 <arch> what did it cost? and are you also able to write tags with it as well? so like, if i wanted to rip off some rfid tags off old gadgets , would it be able to rewrite them?
06:16:53 <arch> oh looks like about $50, not bad https://www.ebay.com/itm/317468100626

06:17:24 <DHess_US> So weird to see yt-dlp working with no warnings or errors.
06:18:14 <arch> maybe google fired their obfuscation devs
06:18:25 <arch> the cat and mouse game is over \o/
06:18:36 <DHess_US> The cat caught up for now.
06:19:23 <DHess_US> Google added javascript challenges, and now yt-dlp uses a javascript interpreter to pass them.
06:20:50 <arch> electrohead, would i be good with this? it appears to be the same version you have maybe, or looks quite similar: https://www.ebay.com/itm/126569434524

06:24:41 <electrohead> actually, that's exactly the one I have3
06:24:43 <electrohead> have*
06:24:45 <electrohead> lol
06:24:53 <electrohead> there are newer models than this, keep in mind
06:24:58 <electrohead> the rdv4 and another one
06:25:39 <arch> my budget for something like that, if i ever were to get it, is $200 or less
06:26:06 <arch> and obviously must be open source, etc etc
06:37:35 <electrohead> pretty much why I got mine, lol
06:45:42 <arch> maybe ill get it next year. this year i gotta drywall and paint some rooms
06:55:13 <electrohead> I know the feeling, ha
06:56:12 <electrohead> speaking of - I just finished vacuuming the car earlier, now all interior cleaning is pretty much done. would love to get the seats properly cleaned though

06:57:27 <electrohead> DHess_US: for the most part, I've never had any issues with yt-dlp
06:58:26 <electrohead> occasionally the back end breaks, but the devs are always on top of it
07:05:13 * K growls at misaligned galvo assemblies
07:09:35 * electrohead growls back
07:33:47 * arch tosses electrohead into a furry cage
07:40:01 * electrohead makes arch eat a shrimp cocktail cookie
07:47:27 <DHess_US> electrohead, they have had problems for a couple weeks now because of the javascript youtube now requires.
07:48:09 <arch> electrohead, https://i.imgur.com/fAaILHf.gif
07:49:41 <electrohead> Yeah I remember having issues with that, just had to rebuild the package (I use arch linux, and use the git version from the aur for yt-dlp). had to install a new dependency for the javascript engine? I can check for you, if you wish

07:53:33 <electrohead> oh, nevermind then? read a reference in an issue on github and ended up installing something, but I don't see any new dependencies in the pkgbuild, maybe it's not needed now
07:54:56 <electrohead> regardless, I can confirm that youtube videos play no problem for me, however I took notice the format identifiers can be different; using "best audio" with a forced video quality sometimes doesn't work, because the id number is different

12:22:48 <steve30> bit late now but i wonder if you could make a fang printer
13:28:41 <MrMobodies> They have bloated KATE and put a lot of annoying things on it.
13:30:00 <MrMobodies> the patronising welcome screen, it's a blooming text editor, I don't NEED it to say hello, the tabs that take up room, the stupid toolbar with the hamburger menu taking up room, the minimap which I just hidden but there is something else
13:30:51 <MrMobodies> when I scroll it has these popout numbers which I find distracting
13:30:56 <MrMobodies> Why can't they LEAVE it alone.
13:33:19 <MrMobodies> the problem is I don't know what it is called to turn them off.

13:34:05 <MrMobodies> I wonder what is that.
13:34:15 <MrMobodies> I want to switch it off, I find it irritating.
13:34:45 <flyback> TWSS
13:34:49 <MrMobodies> where the number as I scroll which has no useful purpose for me but a distraction.
13:35:25 <MrMobodies> I know it wasn't there last time I used it mid last year

15:09:21 <Halcyon> What's wrong Steve?
15:12:50 <steve31> Just editing a HDV video from a few years ago
15:13:47 <steve31> there's a dropout which doesn't really matter but i had to chop the video and resync everything
15:14:50 <steve31> that said the MPEG2 compression has dealt very well with the fireworks :)
15:15:17 <Halcyon> Heh
15:20:12 <steve31> Why doesn't Premiere CS5 have the same novelty 3D transitions that CS2 has?

15:25:45 <Halcyon> If it's a cat suit, shouldn't it come with a cat mask and tail?

15:27:32 <Halcyon> Meow?
15:27:50 <Halcyon> I'd love to tie up next door's cats, but I suspect for very different reasons
15:28:12 <steve31> hehe
15:28:17 <steve31> you'd get clawed
