02:59:23 <arch> Halcyon, this is you (and probably most gay dudes): https://tenor.com/view/strip-club-the-simpsons-smithers-shame-hiding-gif-15416238

03:01:30 <arch> replace those strippers with MC34063 and TL494, and you have T3sl4
03:07:30 * T3sl4 injects JavaScript directly into arch's veins
03:07:39 * arch slows down to a crawl
05:06:47 <K> well im happy to hear it, Ampera and EEVBot
05:06:49 <K> electrohead:
05:09:06 * Ampera hugs K and pets steve30
12:12:59 <Halcyon> I mean, not officially, but they are bastards
12:13:16 <Ampera> I imagine you would be frowned upon to kill a cockatoo in oz
12:13:39 <Ampera> Much like it's not very legal to kill deer in NY without a hunting license and/or outside of season
12:13:43 <Halcyon> It would be illegal since they are a protected native species
12:13:53 <Halcyon> You'd need a permit for controlling them
12:14:23 <arch> i think the aussies learned from the last time they tried to eliminate another bigger birb species and lost the battle
12:14:34 <Halcyon> The black cockatoos are majestic though. They are very different to the white ones
12:15:08 <Halcyon> The white ones get very comfortable around people, and don't care, as long as there is food around. The black cockatoos tend to stay away from populated areas.
12:15:41 <Halcyon> But yeah, they are like toddlers.
12:20:10 * Ampera sics a bin turkey onto Halcyon's trash cans
14:45:32 <Nothing\> ah well
14:46:05 <Nothing\> so, i'm on a liquid diet and it sucks ass
14:46:13 <Nothing\> im' sucking back meal replacement shakes like regular shakes
14:46:49 <Nothing\> i'll be damned if i'm putting any more solids into my body
14:46:54 <Nothing\> too much of a liability
14:47:08 <Nothing\> if people get get by on alternatives, then so shall i
14:47:25 <Nothing\> maybe something like soylent without the foodborne bacteria
14:55:41 <Nothing\> not to mention my blood sugar won't stop crashing. I'll take no insulin, eat literally half a box of fudsicles and I'll get a damn low as I finish off the last one and end up having to drink sugar water on top of it
14:56:03 <Nothing\> i don't even take insulin most days anymore
14:56:26 <Nothing\> the whole thing makes no bloody sense. Even before i started fasting.
14:56:58 <Nothing\> i had 13 hypoglycemic events last week before i started fasting It's stupid.
14:57:42 <Nothing\> then you have to consume sugar to level it out. So, your insulin tanks your sugar, which makes you have to take sugar, which spikes your blood sugar and makes it too high. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't
14:58:58 <Nothing\> I wanna do some experiment with my extra insulin. Isolate it or something.
14:59:09 <Nothing\> it'd be cool to have an amount of crystalline insulin
15:48:28 <Nothing\> alrighty then. Well, you guys take care and be well now. Ya hear? And I mean it
15:48:31 <Nothing\> ttfn
15:48:35 Quit: Nothing\ ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
17:15:55 <Halcyon> *toot*
17:15:57 <Halcyon> Evening all
17:16:31 <steve30> o/
17:17:01 <steve30> i managed to get an IPv6 address on my smartphone
17:17:11 <Halcyon> On cellular?
17:17:17 <steve30> Can't get one on the Teltonika router though (same network)
17:17:23 <Halcyon> Oh right
17:17:37 <steve30> yeah, both have Hutchison 3G UK sim cards
17:17:55 <Halcyon> Yeah nice. I think a lot of networks are shifting to IPv6 for mobile devices. It makes sense.
17:18:18 <Halcyon> On my carrier, I can ONLY get IPv6. IPv4 is reserved for those on government or corporate contracts
17:18:34 <steve30> everyone has been very slow at rolling out v6 here, even cellular networks
17:19:06 <steve30> Three let you have a public IPv4 address for free if you want :)
17:19:07 <Halcyon> It's the way the world is going
17:19:12 <Halcyon> Oh lucky you
17:19:18 <steve30> Never quite figured out why they do that
17:20:00 <steve30> If you use the 3internet APN you get a public dynamic IPv4. If you use the three.co.uk APN you get CGNAT IPv4, and device dependent, and IPv6.
17:20:40 <Halcyon> We did have IPv4 on the lead-up to IPv4 on cellular, but even then it was CG-NAT
17:20:53 <Halcyon> *IPv6
17:21:15 <Halcyon> But on fixed-line internet here, you can get routable IPv4 for quite cheap
17:21:16 <steve30> it still doesn't seem to be fully supported here, especially on MVNOs
17:21:28 <Halcyon> Yeah MVNOs are usually behind, it's on purpose.
17:21:59 <steve30> Same with VoLTE, which doesn't really help with them trying to discontinue 3G
17:22:17 <Halcyon> There's a reason you pay less generally for MVNOs. You aren't getting access to the full network, or QoS is lower, or some features are missing etc..
17:26:36 <steve30> There's an MVNO here called 1pmobile (on the EE network) who typically provide better/cheaper services than EE themselves.
17:26:42 <steve30> but yes, typically, they're worse
17:30:46 <Halcyon> What do you get for 1p?
17:31:20 <steve30> a minute
17:31:27 <Halcyon> Oh right.
17:32:48 <Halcyon> I *guess* that's cheap? 1p is about 2 Australian cents (or 0.02 of a dollar)
17:33:04 <Halcyon> I remember back when I was a teenager, mobile calls would cost about 22c/minute
17:34:01 <Halcyon> I've been on a plan. for years, which for quite a while just include unlimited calls and SMS, so minutes isn't something I worry about. But on pre-paid it's still a thing.
17:34:03 <steve30> I pay about 1.5p/min for standard calls, 4p/min to mobiles on voip
17:34:19 <steve30> my PAYG mobile service is 25p/minute (expensive)
17:34:38 <Halcyon> Yeah that's quite expensive for today
17:35:03 <Halcyon> Most carriers here just throw it in "for free" essentially. What you are mainly paying for is the data allowance at full speed.

17:38:02 * steve30 remembers when GPRS data was charged at pennies per kilobyte
23:07:03 <electrohead> I enabled supports on a print before I went to bed. Wake up, check on print - no supports.
23:07:11 <electrohead> *insert melting face here*
23:09:13 <steve30> i decided odysee needed balloning
