03:19:10 <arch> T3sl41, or maybe DHess_US, do either of you know what this MIDI fuse positive lug/standoff is called? https://imgur.com/a/tbIUVWV
03:19:28 <arch> tried to google "midi fuse battery lug pcb mount" and didn't find much
03:20:00 <T3sl41> in what world does midi use enough current to need a fuse /s
03:20:04 Nick: T3sl41 is now known as T3sl4
03:20:25 <arch> one end of the midi fuse goes into that small bolt sticking out (burnt up); the bigger bolt is for a bigger copper lug connection
03:20:46 <arch> or perhaps electrohead might know
03:21:02 <arch> this came out of a broken inverter, because the fuckwit put in a 60A Scamazon fuse from china
03:21:23 <arch> inverter works fine, just the lug is burnt to hell, so i can't use it properly with a replacement midi fuse
03:21:45 <arch> negative lug is fine, since only the positive is fused
03:23:32 <arch> idiots who buy electrical equipment off Amazon to save $2.50 deserve to have their house burnt down
03:24:09 <DHess_US> Nope
03:26:13 <arch> =(
03:27:58 <electrohead> is that supposed to be encased in plastic or something?
03:28:45 <steve30> I just started watching this, and thought, WTF, people order coffee through apps and have it delivered?

03:29:12 <arch> no, it looks like this electrohead: https://i.imgur.com/vg5VaHK.jpeg
03:29:28 <steve30> And there's me being too stingy to pay £1.50 to have a chinese delivered.
03:29:33 <electrohead> steve30: I've already ordered coffee via SSH lol - https://www.terminal.shop/
03:29:34 <EEVBot> [url] wip: terminal (initial commit) | www.terminal.shop
03:30:02 <arch> so you put a MIDI fuse where those two 8-32 threads are sticking out, then sandwich it withclosing nuts
03:30:11 <electrohead> arch: oh interesting, almost looks custom, perhaps?
03:30:37 <arch> well, it might just be chinese generic one. it's from a Xantrex inverter
03:30:44 <arch> just need to find out what it's named
03:31:13 <electrohead> maybe it has one of those fancy names like "shitpwrbrix" or something, lmao
03:31:38 <arch> if i can't find out what it's called, i will just directly bridge from that busbar coming out from the transformers there
03:31:49 <arch> and use a class T fuse at the battery term
03:31:58 <arch> this is just an extra, internal fuse for more protection i guess
03:32:21 <rc-garage> put something like this somewhere? https://www.waytekwire.com/product/littelfuse-inline-midi-fuse-holder-04980921gxm5
03:32:22 <steve30> mmm, terminal coffee
03:32:59 <arch> rc-garage, i actually have those, so yes, i think i just might end up doing that. will look slightly ugly, but whatever
03:33:43 <rc-garage> yeh, it only has to work
03:35:23 <electrohead> oo, "midi fuse holder bracket" showed a few metal-ish mounts in image results
03:35:36 <electrohead> not exact what you have, though
04:03:44 <arch> ok no luck. fuck it, im gonna use those midi fuse holder blocks and parallel lug them to the main lug

12:42:06 <MrMobodies> Hello
12:42:21 <DogWomble> Greetings
12:48:11 <MrMobodies> Just came back from the disco and this worked well.
12:48:14 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/V6j16cD5/Lightingpanel.jpg
12:49:49 <MrMobodies> Damn, Streamable, I uploaded a video of what that does and they set it from landscape to portrait. Using the editing tools cause it to process the whole thing again
12:50:20 <MrMobodies> It also FLIPPED the video vertically

12:50:33 <MrMobodies> Why can't they LEAVE it alone.

15:45:30 <Nothing\> lol i thought i had bed bugs for a minute
15:45:56 <Nothing\> then i remembered my romp through the park at dusk on a warm summer evening just after fresh rainfall
15:46:06 <Nothing\> perfect mosquito weather
15:46:12 <Nothing\> bastards ate me alive
15:46:49 <Nothing\> if i get west nile or something funky like malaria or dengue fever i'm gonna be disappointed
15:47:07 <Nothing\> which apparently malaria exists in north america
15:47:21 <Nothing\> who knew
15:47:46 <Nothing\> i think i remember something about the people colonizing the swamps of DC getting yellow fever
16:18:52 <Nothing\> ahhhh
16:19:13 <Nothing\> feels like this damn implant is trying to tear my incision open from the inside out
16:19:30 <Nothing\> or like a screw is getting caught on something. I dunno.
16:20:41 <Nothing\> maybe it's just some weird incision pain that's normal. In which case, I can't wait to see what it feels like after they cut it open again presumably from the same way they went in to minimize scarring, as they doy.
16:21:19 <Nothing\> or i think i'm getting some feeling back in the area. i'm getting a lot of strange pinprick sensations.
16:21:58 <Nothing\> it'd be nice if it was like The Simpsons and they gave you a semi-helpful pamphlet every time you had a medical disorder.
16:22:10 <Nothing\> "so you're going to die"

23:53:20 <arch> any time i see a youtube reviewer buy those chinese junk off amazon with funky weird names, i lose respect for them, especially for important things like batteries (LFP) or fuses.
23:53:37 <arch> which, they shouldn't be buying any fuses off amazon in the first place, but whatever
