00:20:03 <Nothing\> ah my back feels so much better... for now
00:21:20 <Nothing\> I need to stand more straight but I feel this unnecessary need to constantly hunch forward while i cradle my arm. not the most ergonomic position to spend the last 2 weeks in since i broke it
00:21:41 <Nothing\> hey Kuschelpony
00:23:06 <Nothing\> funny how you dont even realize how hard life is with one arm disabled. Or if you do, its not the stuff you expect.
00:23:28 <Nothing\> like peeing is so damn hard even sitting down.
00:24:04 <Nothing\> or getting dressed. it took me 45 minutes to go pee and put on my clothes this morning
00:26:08 <Nothing\> ya know, i think the worst part of the surgery was actually having to wear hospital issued underwear. which even as a 170cm man my ass hung literally half way out of them
00:26:20 <Nothing\> the tightiest of the whities
00:27:09 <Nothing\> not to mention wearing underwear somebody probably died in
00:27:19 <MrMobodies> That Sudppipe is so much more efficient that Socat
00:27:20 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/FsHqn1H3/sudppippevs-Socat.jpg
00:28:01 <MrMobodies> Takes up bugger all CPU time where socat takes like an entire core when it routes the traffic
00:29:09 <MrMobodies> Pleased i got that to work, I found the documentation wasn't clear when the port numbers for both goes at the end, not the end per IP
00:29:40 <MrMobodies> Nothing how's your condition now with the shoulder bone?
00:30:02 <MrMobodies> oh nevermind just reading above
00:36:43 <Nothing\> sweeeeet I just got this 8051 devboard i ordered from china for like $5
00:37:34 <Nothing\> heya MrMobodies
00:37:39 <Nothing\> how goes
01:18:19 <Nothing\> roflmao
01:18:34 <Nothing\> the same board is going for $90 on amazon
01:18:38 <Nothing\> wtf
01:19:08 <Nothing\> might as well get a cheap fpga board for that price
01:19:36 <Nothing\> disgusting
02:19:33 <MrMobodies> that's nice
02:19:58 <MrMobodies> I notice that Amazon do huge markups for certain things
02:20:13 <MrMobodies> I just finished mowing the garden and doing the hoovering
02:20:33 <MrMobodies> I'd rather finish that than do it during the heatwave starting from tomorrow
02:21:28 <Kuschelpony> and hello Nothing
02:22:46 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/XNsV7QQ8/heatwave.jpg
02:23:07 <MrMobodies> Well actually it'd be quite high but the heatwave starts on Saturday
02:23:44 <MrMobodies> oops misread Sunday
02:24:04 <Kuschelpony> here quite similar
02:24:06 <MrMobodies> the humidity will be like in the 40%
02:55:20 <steve30> mmm sunshine
03:51:05 <Kuschelpony> Murphys Rule #3 a oscillator will always oscillate, but independ of its tank circuit
03:58:55 <Ysjoelfir> dont forget, that an oscillator will not oscillate, no matter how hard you try, but your opamp definitely will.
05:05:39 * electrohead probes Ysjoelfir with an oscilloscope probe
05:10:19 Quit: Nothing\ ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 2 minutes
05:18:33 * Ysjoelfir oscillates violently
05:21:43 * arch puts an RC snubber across Ysjoelfir
05:23:55 * Ysjoelfir calms down
05:24:11 * Ysjoelfir felt his poles shift
05:38:22 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Connection closed
05:44:13 <K> those pesky poles!
05:45:10 <K> must be sure to get all of them to the left side, otherwise the darn thing goes off the rails!
06:11:57 <Ysjoelfir> yes! dont let them reach the right side!
06:12:21 <Ysjoelfir> in other news.... K, are you in the business to buy a nice, beefy PSU? or 2? or 3? or 4?
06:21:59 <K> eem.
06:22:09 <K> this feels like a trick question
06:22:39 <electrohead> lol
06:22:43 <electrohead> just say yes
06:23:16 <K> on few occasions i've needed 56V lab psu and was left wanting
06:46:13 * electrohead slowly glances at the 6KV transformer
06:48:31 <DogWomble> let me guess, you call it Optimus Prime :P
06:52:21 * Ysjoelfir slowly glances at the 4 Elektro Automatik EA-PS 8080-40, than glances at K
06:52:40 <K> hnng
06:52:42 <K> googles
06:53:28 <K> that is one chunky psu
06:54:51 <K> this one - https://lv.farnell.com/ea-elektro-automatik/ea-ps-8080-40-dt/power-supply-1ch-80v-40a-adjustable/dp/1736060 ?

07:42:29 <EEVBot> [url] Millions of homes face major smart meter energy billing change | The Bolton News | www.theboltonnews.co.uk
07:42:50 <MrMobodies> I see there's MORE to it than just settling the bill every 30 minutes
07:43:09 <MrMobodies> exposing market based pricing with no investment or price security
07:43:51 <MrMobodies> reduced incentive to install more instrastructure for the houses they are putting up
07:44:02 <MrMobodies> and OVER RELIANCE on a meter
07:46:51 <MrMobodies> This bit " Why the UK is changing the system... The move is designed to help create a “smarter” electricity grid capable of handling growing renewable energy supplies. "
07:47:03 <MrMobodies> Word SOUP tangent....
07:47:27 <MrMobodies> without the infrastructure to support it I'd imagine other than to penalize users who use it at peak times
07:47:42 <MrMobodies> as a means to discourage them to keep load in balance
07:48:18 <MrMobodies> Full of word soup in that article like under " Utility Bidder says the system could help: "
07:50:41 <MrMobodies> they can't guarantee that it'd be cheap or cheaper for the very reason of no price securiy and they seem be making the artice sound like it is all the negatives are positives
07:52:57 <electrohead> DogWomble: Actually I call it a neon sign transformer, lol
09:56:52 <MrMobodies> Hello
09:57:40 <MrMobodies> The barman at the pub wanted me to look into a piece of software that he use to use a long time ago in the mid 2010's
09:57:47 <MrMobodies> Mismeister
09:58:19 <MrMobodies> I tried to install it last year for a 30 day free trial. It installed and message that my 30 days were up, tried a different email same problem
09:58:24 <MrMobodies> I contacted them no reply
09:58:32 <MrMobodies> now they are not selling it anymore
09:58:45 <MrMobodies> The laptop they had it on they no longer have
09:59:25 <MrMobodies> I found a copy that had been patched but I am not pleased that one, it is being used in a commercial environment, and 2, no way to pay for it
09:59:48 <MrMobodies> I have looked at other DJ stuff and they don't have the facilities that he wanted
10:00:58 <MrMobodies> Think what I'll do is contact them one more time asking if they could sell me a key for the older copy 7.4.4 Studio that he showed me on his phone.
10:01:28 <MrMobodies> I found the full copy of it that asks for a key
10:02:10 <MrMobodies> I notice it is quite limited as well, MP3, WMA but no MP4 audio
10:02:32 <MrMobodies> don't know what he just won't settle for VideoLan which has a simple playlist
10:03:07 <MrMobodies> that patched copy is quite unstable too and wouldn't recommend it
10:03:28 <MrMobodies> when adding folders to the library it exits and crash reporter shows
10:04:52 <MrMobodies> We had a look at VirtualDJ, he was thinking about buying it, but then he found couldn't do what he wanted.
10:05:46 <MrMobodies> to take bits of tracks, and add them to these columns to play inbetween a bit like Acid back in the 2000's
10:06:45 <MrMobodies> Shame there isn't an alternative that does what he wants even paid.
10:07:09 <MrMobodies> he's not interested so much in the fade and scratch thing and other functions

13:50:25 <MrMobodies> Absolutely P*SSED
13:50:33 <MrMobodies> Reminds me of an Acronis moment in 2018
13:50:46 <MrMobodies> free to try, does this, does that but it doesn't
13:51:26 <MrMobodies> and these DAW packages offer a "free download" but want me to create an account, sign in. download an app, sign in to that and activate every month, F*** OFF.
13:51:49 <MrMobodies> I mean before they'd let me download the package a bit like clickbait trolling
13:53:45 <MrMobodies> The few I tried are just too big, bloated and all the things needed to do the most simplest things are hidden away and one of them claiming to be a replacement to that Mix Miester looks like a joke to me

13:55:17 <MrMobodies> So to search and add songs I have to go to a different screen hidden by a tab at the top compared to in the other, it is right there on the side
13:55:29 <MrMobodies> and they call that simple
14:02:47 <MrMobodies> Maybe it is, oversimplified and dumbed down.
14:03:07 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/dQ341B9J/MMVS-DJS.jpg
14:03:11 <MrMobodies> comparing the two
14:04:04 <MrMobodies> I find I could do a lot more on Mixmeister at a glance than having to scroll and navigate on DJ Studio (on the right right)
14:06:52 <MrMobodies> Mixmeister Library items: 8| Playlist 7? |DJ Studio: Library: HIDDEN |Playlist: 4. Speaks for itself what looks to me like a bloated UI.
14:10:26 <MrMobodies> Oh night

18:26:32 <Ysjoelfir> indeed is
18:28:13 * T3sl4 bucks Ysjoelfir
18:28:47 <Ysjoelfir> I added a 4G router to it, wireguarded that into my home network. than added a raspi3 as an MQTT broker and "some" ESP8266/ESP32 sensor nodes. its progressing very nice, so far I can see environmental information in there, as well as the BMS data and the information from the MPPT charger and "smart shunt".
18:28:58 * Ysjoelfir feels doed from T3sl4
18:31:00 <T3sl4> :3
18:39:18 <K> ech, the hioki seller is not responding. le sad.
