Like whats wrong with this

[sly elk]

[cerulean talon]

It's a bit thick and heavy, but I wanted purple, so by all that's above, I was gonna have purple.

put it this way

[cerulean talon]

I'm looking at ordering a 60 bay SAS shelf to add to the house.

[sly elk]

the new cable looks more befitting of the keyboard

[cerulean talon]

I need more storage.

[odd sand]

I hope you never have to move, and I hope you either don't rent or the landlord never has to enter lol

[sly elk]

it matches nicely and it looks pretty

[sly elk]

LMAO

OH MAN

if I hung a garage rack in my living room like Codingaway did his

[cerulean talon]

I own the place, and when I move, my house is already apprased double what I paid for it /with/ the mods.

[sly elk]

my landlord would haev a heart attack lmao

[cerulean talon]

I love this housing market. :3

[potent arrow]

Yall insane

she got me this one

https://dogemods.com/collections/premade/products/howlite?variant=43132218998992

[sly elk]

like straight up

[odd sand]

Landlord: No hanging pictures on the walls or making any marks.

Codingway's living room

[cerulean talon]

Not enough purple, otherwise, I like it.

[sly elk]

A lot of landlords are fine with hanging a picture or three on the walls

if you live in a place 5 years+ you're not even really expected to repaint it

the problem comes when you put fucking holes in the wall EVERYWHERE

[cerulean talon]

Whenever someone comes in to work on the house, AC usually, we get to have a 15 minute conversation about the setup.

[potent arrow]

oh we went for a custom lol

[sly elk]

what does the fire marshall have to say

[cerulean talon]

I do like that they offer em w/ lemo connectors.

[cerulean talon]

It's all up to code and approved.

:3

[potent arrow]

I prefer lenmo lol

[sly elk]

it sure doesn't look it

but I'll take your word for it

tbh it's probably more up to code than my setup is

[potent arrow]

Part of me wants to continue to use this cable to piss more people off

[cerulean talon]

We run 10 gauge extension cords and the 80 on the desk was properly installed, AKA: Not me DIY'ing it.

[sly elk]

so my circuit breaker has these push button breakers

[cerulean talon]

Did you tape them over? :D

[sly elk]

and they have these cute little windows with a thing that says off/on

and the labels are broken

so some of them are very obviously on, but they say off

[potent arrow]

the breaker to my room is held open with steel wire as we speak

[odd sand]

Everyone else's power meter on the block: Tick......Tick.....Tick....
Codingway's:

[cerulean talon]

All the breakers in the house are AFCI.

[sly elk]

also, there's no ground in any of my outlets

[cerulean talon]

.>

So we have hilariously fun times tripping the arc faults in the summer.

2AM, pop a breaker, usually 2-3 go out at once, all the UPS' start screaming.

[sly elk]

what's AFCI?

[odd sand]

https://tenor.com/view/pikachu-pokemon2019-animefan27-power-up-gif-21654807

[cerulean talon]

Arc Fault.

[potent arrow]

arc fu

FUCK

[sly elk]

why are you having arc faults

[potent arrow]

how dare you be faster

[cerulean talon]

It's like GFCI, but worse.

[potent arrow]

way worse

[cerulean talon]

It detects residual current, not a real arc.

[potent arrow]

I didnt think they still were in use

[cerulean talon]

So it'll trip on a couple ma of current.\

Oh yeah, they're code out here.

:D

[sly elk]

i want a house with normal circuit breakers

the last one I rented had a shitty federal electric panel

[cerulean talon]

This house is only ~10 years old, I'm the first owner, and /every/ breaker, including bathrooms is AFCI, with GFCI sockets anywhere wet.

So we have double failure modes that can trip each other on those ciruits.

[potent arrow]

belghhh

[cerulean talon]

Yeah.

[sly elk]

so the way federal electric ones work I think iirc

they called them stab-lok

[cerulean talon]

AFCI is hilarious because it's not really arc, it's a detection of a current mismatch.

[sly elk]

you'd friggin add breakers to the bus bar

by shoving them in

[cerulean talon]

So they'll trip on things with weird power factors.

[sly elk]

and with time and heat cycles

they'd get loose

[cerulean talon]

Like say, induction motors like your fridge.

[sly elk]

and trip themselves

[cerulean talon]

Oh yeah, that's a huge issue out there.

[sly elk]

like half the time i tripped a breaker I could shove them back into the box and they'd work again

[cerulean talon]

As breakers work on heat, 120f days in the box derates our breakers several amps.

It's not fun.

[sly elk]

and sometimes the lights would flicker like frankensteins house

ah the breakers in this house are called

PUSHMATIC

[cerulean talon]

I should shut the house down to do some panel maintenance.

[jaunty light]

and i consider this to be messy

[cerulean talon]

I've got some current sense stuff I want to install.

[jaunty light]

let me come over to your house, I promise I won't clean everything

[cerulean talon]

Eh, my desk is admittedly, in need of some light cleaning.

[jaunty light]

yes.. light.. indeed

[sly elk]

pushmatic

[cerulean talon]

The big thing at the moment is the pick and place head set above my keyboard.

Which is taking up a bunch of my passive/smol project room.

[potent arrow]

can you ike

do mine first

[odd sand]

Very nice. I've been meaning to buy a nice desk or set of desks for my room, but I can't find anything I like that isn't a hojillion dollars

[sly elk]

that looks so nice

[potent arrow]

My breaker is not enough for my room

[cerulean talon]

You can't be afraid of 120v. :P

[potent arrow]

so ive been holding it open with steel wire

[sly elk]

but

[potent arrow]

Im not, im lazy

[cerulean talon]

Like I'll hotswap a breaker without shutting the panel down.

[sly elk]

why is your main monitor smaller than the side monitors

[cerulean talon]

Oh.

[jaunty light]

unfortunately if you want stability you have to pony up for a hardwood top and that for my size desk starts at like $1k

[odd sand]

Are the desk along the left wall and the one to the right the same vendor?

[jaunty light]

ye uplift

[cerulean talon]

The only reason I want to shut the house down is to install current sense coils.

[jaunty light]

they are all 27s

[cerulean talon]

Which means I need to disconnect the 2 phases at root.

[potent arrow]

Hehehehehe

It's uh

[sly elk]

ohh so it's the angle

[potent arrow]

A mess rn

[sly elk]

sarah it's amazing how NICE your desk looks now, compared to when I first saw

my goodness

[odd sand]

Bc the base for the one on the right looks like your typical business desk, but the one on the left looks different

[sly elk]

I remember the milk crates XD

[potent arrow]

SHHHHH

THAT WAS A GOOD COMPUTER

[cerulean talon]

It needs more projects. :(

[potent arrow]

IT WAS JUST IN A MILKCRATE

[cerulean talon]

EVERY DESK NEEDS PROJECTS!

[sly elk]

the one on the left looks like a piece of wood on top of some ikea cabinets

[jaunty light]

highly recommend not getting the 4 feet one from uplift it has 0 horizontal stability

[cerulean talon]

I do need go shopping for a vac pump for my pick n place head still. :/

[sly elk]

huhhh

[cerulean talon]

I haven't found one I like.

[sly elk]

it's interesting because your desk appears to have C shaped legs

the T shaped ones are usually the ones with wobbling issues

[cerulean talon]

Aren't those T shaped?

Looks like they are.

[sly elk]

idk

in the pic the leg loosk more towards the back

but the perspective in your picture is really weird

i have a jarvis frame myself, it's very stable

[jaunty light]

those are fine, the other ones are U and it sucks, the middle brace doesn't work

[cerulean talon]

I do wish this house had come w/ 20a breakers rather than 15's by default.

The internal wiring gauge is a bit small for 20a sadly. :(

[sly elk]

U?

[potent arrow]

I rarely show my ee lab/shop because people get scared ok

[cerulean talon]

Desk = projects.

[cerulean talon]

Also, there's a reason I describe mine as the horror show, I know how this be.

[jaunty light]

or should I say, 口

[sly elk]

LOL

ya know usually I'm like

it's cool dude

you haev your workspace and what matters is what works for you

[cerulean talon]

I /know/ mine's a horror show, and I'll own up to it.

[sly elk]

you've got a looooooot going on in your living room

it's a lot to take in, for sure

[cerulean talon]

I /am/ seriously looking at putting together a 1.2pb array soon tho when I get some more liquidity.

[sly elk]

i wish you luck!

[potent arrow]

My next project is probably building a new pc

[cerulean talon]

Yaaas,.

[potent arrow]

I just put another 3900x into this one

[cerulean talon]

Gonna try to put a 1.2pb spinny and a 120-200tb ssd array.

Gonna be fun.

[potent arrow]

I hope there will be SFX boards for the new Intel hedt chips

[sly elk]

codingway's living room makes mine look basic bithc XD

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/make-it-rain-raining-money-take-this-donation-gif-16363520

[cerulean talon]

Pretty much.

At some point, the projects I work on just sorta demand absurd hardware. :D

[jaunty light]

oracle wanted to sell us a 2Pb san for like 2.5m

[potent arrow]

I'm also 99% sure my third NVME drive is dead

It hasn't show up in device manager for like four months now

[cerulean talon]

I'm thinking about hacking a netapp 60bay SAS expander.

And convincing it to take 20tb drives.

Pick up the SAS expander for ~600$, so it's viable if I can get it to take 20tb drives.

Formally, it supports 4tb, but yanno, that kind of stupid never stopped me before.

[jaunty light]

depends on what model, 12Tb works in some

[cerulean talon]

Older ofc.

But hacking firmware is just good fun. :3

The real limit I suppose if it's something with how it can access sectors and sector counts.

[jaunty light]

but most of the time netapp likes to force you to use specific kinds of drives. or block provision.. then you need to do that and everything sucks

[cerulean talon]

I'm /kinda/ tempted to see if I get one, if I can just make my own direct SAS passthrough board.

Like yeet their controller, just build one up for fun and profit to make them auctual direct SAS passthrough and not the weird netapp bs.

Dunno, plans for later, there's enough other short-term projects, like unbreaking kupo's brain.

[potent arrow]

is kupo bot still fucked in the code

[torpid kayak]

https://i.imgur.com/I6qZsAO.jpg hm I guess I will nuke my desk's drawer for more space 🤔

[sly elk]

i'm kinda glad I don't need a giant network storage thingy at home

it's cool but i already got enough shit to deal with ;_;

[torpid kayak]

how do you guy do cable management?

[golden stream]

A lot of ouch

[sly elk]

https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-ONE_WRAP-Double-Gripping/dp/B00O2A3P88?th=1

something like that

[torpid kayak]

mine is a mess and it takes me all of my wits to keep those cables above ground level for easier room cleaning

[golden stream]

Ya ^ or cable tie

[torpid kayak]

cables have ties?

[golden stream]

It's relatively ez, just finger ouch

Yes

The plastic ones

[torpid kayak]

those thin bendable zinc string that comes along with products with cables?

[golden stream]

Uh nah that's different

The thin plastic ones

[torpid kayak]

hm

[golden stream]

Lemme grab somes after my gramp's lunch

This thingy

Can be longer tho

Usually comes with the case or PSU

[torpid kayak]

oh I see

my nephews have some

[cerulean talon]

He's much better overall.

I've rewritten parts of his permission system to give us far more granular control over commands with a few tweaks to parts of his perms, as there's some issues with discord level perms being a bit too broad for some commands.

[torpid kayak]

replace him with a Bottingway

[cerulean talon]

Nu, he's a good moogle.

I do need to finish implementing the ACL system around those commands, but the shell's in place and seems to be working.

I /am/ slowly finding magic in this thing and removing it for clearer logic.

[odd sand]

Speaking of ACL ... that's on my tasking list for next week at work. ACL dashboard so they can more quickly know who to blame when someone changes a config they aren't supposed to

[cerulean talon]

See, I just get kupo commands for that.
D

I R LAZY.

[odd sand]

The good news is we have the addon for it already, they just aren't capturing the logs. So theoretically it should be a simple deliverable.

[jaunty light]

ur life sounds terrible

this dude is fighting for his life every time the compliance people come and say "I NEED a new dashboard NOW"

[jaunty light]

eris will be grown in the new adaptations

[odd sand]

You have no idea. This will be my life for the next 5 years theoretically if I stay on this contract.

[jaunty light]

do they not hire like, err, real people to do this?

[odd sand]

https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/M-21-31-Improving-the-Federal-Governments-Investigative-and-Remediation-Capabilities-Related-to-Cybersecurity-Incidents.pdf

There is 5 years to implement all this, and I'm not even sure if it's only this PDF or if there's more and this is only what our area has to do

All joking aside, it should theoretically get a lot better over the next 6 months as we lay the foundation

[jaunty light]

bro

my worst rack doesn't even look like this

[odd sand]

They are the real people, technically speaking. Although I think if it's really something they don't think they can do, they will bring in outside people to do it

[jaunty light]

they got money just hire a DC architect and a couple people to actually do all the MDF/IDFs

[deep sapphire]

Linus is like my boss “you fix stuff for a living why can’t you just do it”

[odd sand]

Also I think they realized that everything they do can be content

[jaunty light]

i mean anyone can network a building, but you know.

[odd sand]

So they're saving even more money on doing it themselves bc they make a video of it too

[jaunty light]

there's that

[odd sand]

Also in many cases it's helpful by showing the pitfalls there can be to implementing new tech. Like Linus trying to do wireless speakers and in the end they gave up and went wired still.

Or all their issues doing smart switches etc.

I like the routing waste-heat into the pool though as a functional yet ridiculous flex

[deep sapphire]

The problem to me like it always is, is project creep

Probably did minimal planning and then as they did stuff they became overloaded on top of constantly asking for things they didn’t account for

[deep sapphire]

Is needy

[cerulean talon]

My cabling is amazing.

It's all color coded and everything.

[jaunty light]

we can hire you to design the datacenter then burn it down and start anew

[cerulean talon]

Wooooow. My cabling is well designed!

Every computer has a trunk, all the LAN DAC's are color coded.

[deep sapphire]

The only thing you’re missing is my cat girl bot

[odd sand]

Once we have the asset list in place and do tagging and event types on every new log we ingest, it makes all of the stuff down the line that much easier. Because instead of trying to craft fully manual SPL every time, you're doing searches on tags and types of logs.

[cerulean talon]

It's dine!

*done.

You just need to get a server admin to go enable it.

[deep sapphire]

[cerulean talon]

I even wrote the full ACL system, etc.

[odd sand]

We killing catgirls now?

[deep sapphire]

Go ping Eanae this is critical

[jaunty light]

haha, server admins

[cerulean talon]

See, I'm not important enough to turn it on.

[jaunty light]

don't need to bother with that

[cerulean talon]

Just write the command /to/ turn it on.

I mean yes, I could just go write the DB record, but that's abuse. :)

[deep sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-sleep-gif-21154919

[jaunty light]

i'm sure shinon's contemporaries love filling out the paperwork every single time something is churned that, yes, (10 checks), it does in fact offload to (the splunk server)

[cerulean talon]

And I, as an upstanding kupobot developer, would never abuse.

[deep sapphire]

Shin are you getting fucked with the winter storm coming

This winter blows

[sly elk]

wireless stuff is soo ooo damn annoying

[deep sapphire]

It’s been awhile since I can recall this much snow

[sly elk]

-looks at his wireless subwoofer that almost never works-

[jaunty light]

wireless is some baby-tier shit that never works

[deep sapphire]

That’s why I got AirPods

[sly elk]

tbh

airpods are glitchy too

[cerulean talon]

There's your screenie of it working in my server. :P

[jaunty light]

that reeks of AI generated

[odd sand]

That is something we are going to try to help them avoid, assuming the compliance people understand logic. The idea is to automate with ansible and an automated audit log so theoretically they won't have to touch it more than maybe doing a cursory review of the audit log and sign off on it.

[deep sapphire]

Yeah they kept dropping when I tried to answer my mom’s call for some reason

[cerulean talon]

Opt-in commands are love, because it means I can write new things that aren't auto-enabled for (ab)use.

[sly elk]

i like my airpods and all

but, yea, for sure...

[deep sapphire]

They sure beat the XM4s though

Sony LOL

[jaunty light]

skill issue

[sly elk]

my dt880s are 100% reliable

[deep sapphire]

cope

[sly elk]

i don't have to deal with pairing or reception

[jaunty light]

not only are my XM3s and XM4s reliable, so are my wired headphones

[sly elk]

but they'er big and have this super fucking annoying cable

[deep sapphire]

Dog crap

Sony products

[jaunty light]

buy a custom cable that's braided and pretty

like mine (and me)

[sly elk]

the problem is the cable is too long

[jaunty light]

oh yeah my 2 stock hd800 cables are like 10 feet

[deep sapphire]

On slickdeals they had them for 99 dollars and I kid you not most of the comments were saying how many infuriating problems they had

[sly elk]

it'd be cool if they made headphones with a cable that retracts

[deep sapphire]

Lmao

[sly elk]

so that you could make the length just right

[odd sand]

So you just write the ansible script and have them sign off that the resulting log it generates meets compliance. Then after that, you should only need to check the audit log. And you could have some error-checking like if a log from an endpoint deviates in size by X% from week to week you check it manually to make sure the logging isn't broken.

[sly elk]

and yea I'm pretty damn sure replacing the cable means soldering

.,.. and I have a soldering gun but that's a whole fat amount of nope for me

cuz I know no matter whta they'll enver sound right again

[deep sapphire]

[jaunty light]

hank can handle 27 inches

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

?

yea maybe i should buy a pretty braided cable

a blue one

[odd sand]

And since I WFH it could snow 27" and wouldn't matter much to me bc I could just stay home all week heh

Lalalalalala can’t hear you

i don't think i ever wanna work in an office again

[jaunty light]

[odd sand]

I need to get off my ass and finally get a workspace setup is all

[jaunty light]

except the hd800 has some stupid cylinder system and it's tighter than hank's abs

[deep sapphire]

Is that one of those YouTube scams

[odd sand]

Instead of slumming my work laptop on my small personal desk with my regular computer

[sly elk]

get a big desk and a kvm

[deep sapphire]

What abs

[jaunty light]

KVMs suck

[deep sapphire]

I’m eating chips

[sly elk]

or not, idk

i'm pretty damn happy with my kvm

[jaunty light]

BEER N MY TRUCKKKKKKKKK

never had a kvm that worked properly in my life

[odd sand]

The dell dock they gave me a pos. You can't connect a keyboard to it bc it lags and then types 5 of the same letter etc.

[sly elk]

dude!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098TVP9ZL

[sly walrus]

urge!

[sly elk]

i use this with my 3440x1440@120hz and it works great. comes with good cables, too

[jaunty light]

ok but i need that to work with 4 monitors

[sly elk]

then buy 4 of them

😄

[jaunty light]

it's either they dont switch the displays or they don't switch USB

[cerulean talon]

I don't want to work in an office with people I work with, I do want to have an office outside of the house I go to. :P

[deep sapphire]

[jaunty light]

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

it does reliably switch for me, but I admit I had to change the battery in my remote after 6 months because it stopped working

the buttons on the box always work 100% of the time, though

[deep sapphire]

Imagine working from home and you tell your boss you have Radeon

[cerulean talon]

Just tell them you have raytheon.

[deep sapphire]

Perfect!

[sly elk]

I have seen/heard this a fair bit

[cerulean talon]

More confusing that way.

[sly elk]

not sure where the majority stand

[jaunty light]

100% the worst KVM i've ever used was a $5000+ raritan that both did not switch between anything, ever, and 50% of the time when you tried to it would freeze and need hard reset

[odd sand]

I can understand that. I kinda feel the same way as well that I like WFH but I can still be distracted by TV or something, so a separate office would help with that a lot. Which is why I want to put my workspace in my bedroom as I have a lot of space in there and it would be separate from my personal PC and TV in the living room.

[cerulean talon]

I've got an eye on a small commerical space (1500-ish sqft incdl a warehouse) that if I work FT again, I'mma go rent.

[deep sapphire]

Working from home sounds difficult, you have to wait until the adderall kicks in

[sly elk]

like i often hear sentiments about WFH along the lines of "I need separation" and "I don't want to be reminded of work when I'm at home" that haven't bugged me at all

[cerulean talon]

Then I can move my cars there, close my storage units, and have a dedicated work space.

[odd sand]

My last job had some fancy KVM device that was supposed to switch HDMI between like our dozen PCs and the 2 presentation TVs in the room and it was a constant battle to get them to not lose sync or even sync at all

[cerulean talon]

I fall in the "It doesn't bug me", but working means I want places that I can be on a camera and my house isn't shown off. :P

Also, I'd use the space for all my hobby stuff. :3

[jaunty light]

hate offices, fuck em

[cerulean talon]

I don't mind offices, I hate cubicles*

[jaunty light]

shitty cubicles, smells bad, people, flourescent lights

[sly elk]

i use the same damn desk/keyboard/mouse for work as I do for home stuff

it doesn't bug me at all

[cerulean talon]

Like cubes, go fuck themselves.

[deep sapphire]

Offices require you to be good at bullshitting

[sly elk]

but I have pretty solid work hours

[odd sand]

Yeah I just make sure the wall behind my workspace is bland

[cerulean talon]

Be senior enough you get a nice corner office, and it's not so bad.

[sly elk]

mmm

[jaunty light]

still a cube

[odd sand]

Otherwise there's always the greenscreen backgrounds you could use

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, that doesn't work for me, the laser cutters and 5 gallon buckets of acid are back thre.

That's not a good look for most calls.

[sly elk]

one of the nasa people that did a webcast with our company had a really cool cabinet behind their desk

with models of planes and stuff they worked on

[deep sapphire]

Codingway also has lye

[sly elk]

10/10, I'd do that.

[cerulean talon]

Of course I have lye.

And thermite, 5 gallon buckets of methanol, 50/50 water-meth mixes.

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

I mean, we have a giant laser cutter in the office...

[cerulean talon]

Lye is by and large the safer things in my house.

[deep sapphire]

Ted is that you

[sly elk]

If I turned on my webcam and there was a laser cutter and like 3d printers and stuff in the background

my coworkers would friggin love it

Yeah, 50/50 water/methanol mixes are standard for WMI systems for cars.

[sly elk]

oh.

iwant

[deep sapphire]

With a GM flex fuel pump

[sly elk]

a peterbilt dump truck

[jaunty light]

windows management instrumentation

[cerulean talon]

Cmon, even my WRX has a flexfuel system.

[jaunty light]

for hank's car

[deep sapphire]

Kyan just going to the top

[cerulean talon]

Cmon hank.

[jaunty light]

i see you're just a sucker for a good time

how many times did you do the headgaskets

[cerulean talon]

None yet interestingly

[jaunty light]

it's a lemon

[cerulean talon]

But my WRX is my baby. Once I pick up a FT job again, I'm saving up for a new engine.

.>

[jaunty light]

ah that's what i was waiting for

[sly elk]

man these trucks look sick

[odd sand]

FT is what exactly? FinTech?

[cerulean talon]

It's fine as it is.

[odd sand]

Oh fulltime

[cerulean talon]

Full time.

[jaunty light]

every WRX posting: "runs great (tiny font: just needs a new engine/headgaskets)

[sly elk]

getting monster truck madness vibes

[cerulean talon]

Nah, only thing blown right now is a wideband.

[deep sapphire]

I meant more a tuned one

[deep sapphire]

E85 can have like upwards of 118 octane

[cerulean talon]

My wrx is tuned! It just needs a bigger turbo, and the internals rebuilt, and yeah.

Yes, I know.

:3

My WRX runs e85

[odd sand]

Doubles in the back to wreck the shit out of the most crops as possible driving around right? heh

[cerulean talon]

The local station is about 70-75 tho.

[jaunty light]

This thing's a racecar. Just needs a new engine, new suspension, new tires, new brakes, a retune

70..octane?

[cerulean talon]

No, ethanol.

[sly elk]

Thesus' car

[cerulean talon]

Unironically, my WRX already has all that other than the engine.

Including an upgraded fuel system, carbon fiber drive shaft, etc.

[jaunty light]

I can probably count on two hands how many e85 stations are in all of calfironia

[cerulean talon]

I did every upgrade /other/ than the engine.

There's 6 in vegas.

Plz kids, catch up.

[odd sand]

E85 is too much of a hassle bc you have to fill up more often and constantly doing the math on if it's even worth getting it

[deep sapphire]

Isn’t the engine the thing that will grenade itself in a Subaru

[cerulean talon]

Yes

[deep sapphire]

If you have access to it easily it’s fine

[cerulean talon]

Which is why I did everything else with the intention of detonating the engine.

[deep sapphire]

But if not then yeah

[cerulean talon]

Also, I get 22mpg on e85,17 on 91 octane.

[deep sapphire]

I think IF you have a proper tune to take advantage of it

[cerulean talon]

It's hilariously stupid.

Yes.

[deep sapphire]

It’s totally worth it

[cerulean talon]

That's the key, 100%

[sly elk]

i need bleach

[deep sapphire]

It’s better than racing fuel

[odd sand]

That makes no sense. Why would E85 be more.

[cerulean talon]

I have to swap maps every time.

[deep sapphire]

Yeah that doesn’t make a lot of sense to me

[cerulean talon]

If I drop below 20% eth I swap to a standard map.

[deep sapphire]

You should not be getting more

[cerulean talon]

Because I don't get 93 out here :/

[cerulean talon]

ACN 91, our gas is gimped as for power.

[sly elk]

so ugly

[cerulean talon]

asf.

[deep sapphire]

Octane doesn’t dictate fuel economy it dictates timing

[sly elk]

i'm conflicted about the subaru logo

[cerulean talon]

Right, but when your engine is built for 93, it nuked your power. :P

[odd sand]

I have no ethanol 91 by me

[sly elk]

the idea is cool

the execution is meh

blue oval

[deep sapphire]

Ethanol has less density though so you shouldn’t be getting more

[cerulean talon]

The WRX won't run at proper efficiency w/o 91.

Err 93.

It auto-detunes.

So even with a good map for 91, you get less perf overall.

[deep sapphire]

Lmao for a WRX

[jaunty light]

its time to buy a porsche instead

hanks favorite

[sly elk]

-fills the tank with 87-

[odd sand]

They sell 93 around here, but I think only at like Shell

[sly elk]

come to think of it

[cerulean talon]

There's no 93 in vegas.

[deep sapphire]

Yeah same

[jaunty light]

dont think u can get 93 in california

[sly elk]

I probably don't want a porsche

[cerulean talon]

You can't, it's ACN 91.

[sly elk]

i want a car with a NA v8 that runs fine on 87 gas

[deep sapphire]

Shell has 93 here but most are 91

[cerulean talon]

Arizona, Cali, NV are the 3 states that are 91 primary.

[odd sand]

Why is 91 so fucking expensive this year btw?

[jaunty light]

greetings i hav e 2002 f150

[odd sand]

Used to be 40 cents more per gallon for 91 now it's 80-100 cents

[deep sapphire]

I dunno I stopped filling up with it though even though I should be using it lol

[sly elk]

i wonder

does the corvette require premium?

[jaunty light]

yes

[deep sapphire]

Gas prices dropped hard and then went back up

[cerulean talon]

e85 is .50$ per gallon less than 87. :3

It's 100% paid for itself already

[deep sapphire]

Corvette recommends it but it can run on 87 you’ll just get a re- I can’t say that word in here timing

[sly elk]

sadness

[odd sand]

Most ppl get like 25% less MPG tho so...

[sly elk]

I mean

[cerulean talon]

Oh yeah, no dobut.

[sly elk]

running premium is no big deal at all lol

but it'd be cooler if it ran on 87

[deep sapphire]

Depends on the ethanol blend, in the winter it’s like 40 percent ethanol

[sly elk]

good ole NA v8 car

no silliness, just oodles of low end torque

[jaunty light]

[cerulean talon]

Some day again, once I build my new storage array, I'll start slowly siphoning money to to IAG "Codingway needs a 600hp engine" fund.

[odd sand]

I used to have a fleet card for my Saturn bc they had 87 no ethanol and the O2 sensor on it was so finnicky

[jaunty light]

time to get a 90s lexus and 2jz swap

[cerulean talon]

There's one out front, and I hate it with a passion.

[jaunty light]

the corvette interior makes me wretch

[sly elk]

ahh but the v8 sounds so good

[deep sapphire]

Good

You can’t handle it ford boy

[sly elk]

Go buy your overpriced super car

[jaunty light]

[sly elk]

mmmm

what's wrong with it 😮

[jaunty light]

everything...

[sly elk]

It’s a bit over styled

It’s not awful but it’s a bit much

[jaunty light]

AWFUL!

[cerulean talon]

Blargh, I need to find a new phone.

Stupid technology keeps dying.

[jaunty light]

[sly elk]

I think that was their shoe

[deep sapphire]

[cerulean talon]

This is a feature, not a bug.

it is unsurprising that a dude that is wearing jorts is driving this car.

The first time I saw a C8 in public dude was going under the speed limit on the back roads when I was trying to get to work

[odd sand]

Only 170? Barely broken the engine in

[jaunty light]

this design is way cooler than all the bullshit digital dashes they try to design

[deep sapphire]

I bought it with only 133 on it, pretty surprised

It idles a bit rough I think the throttle body gasket has a hole in it

Should take care of it but I’m lazy

[jaunty light]

Now you wanna talk bad interiors

At least the seats look comfortable

[jaunty light]

[jaunty light]

[sly elk]

for you people who can't stand a car that isn't imported

https://youtu.be/XNUiJXVACNM?t=374

it has a na v8 so i don't hate it

also a blue interior

[deep sapphire]

I’ll never buy an import

[sly elk]

that gs-f v8 sounds good

the interior looks like a bathtub

idk

typic ugly lexus interior

[deep sapphire]

They sound good but they have zero performance lmao

[sly elk]

I mean

[deep sapphire]

DOHC

[sly elk]

it's still pertty fast isn't it?

[deep sapphire]

Nope

[sly elk]

fast enough for me lol

the gs-f also comes in thta beeeeautiful blue

[deep sapphire]

They do 0-60 in over 6 seconds

[sly elk]

with the blue interior

hmm

that's a shame

a charger/300c can do it in <6...

[deep sapphire]

Online claims it can do 4.5 but I watched a shit ton of videos on the sister RC F cause I wanted one so bad

And tons of people complained it had a really soft tuned automatic

And the times were super inconsistent

So it never felt fast

[jaunty light]

https://youtu.be/DTDOrT3nyHQ?t=420 there u go

[sly elk]

tbh

I still kinda wanna get a v8 300s before they stop making them

[deep sapphire]

Do it

Do they offer them with a 392?

[sly elk]

yes, but no.

they made a limited run 2023 300c that has a 392

and the fucker sold out a few hours after they annoucned it

[deep sapphire]

Why not just get a challenger

Way more options

[jaunty light]

cuz

its a dodge

[deep sapphire]

[jaunty light]

truck fine. not truck, not fine.

simple rules to live by in FCA land

[sly elk]

cuz I like the chrysler better

but dodge is fine

[sly elk]

the charger/300 drive pretty much the same, never driven a charger myself though

the charger feels a little cozier because the dash is huge and comes closer to you lol

lol scotty gushing about a jeep gladiator

haha

If he rented it from Hertz, drive it like you stole it, because Hertz probably already reported it stolen. 🤷‍♂️😏

[odd sand]

My friend has a scat pack, but not the widebody. He's been on the fence about trading it in for the widebody before the gas version is gone

This is my other friend's dream car. I think he makes enough now he could actually afford one in the next few years, but he's pretty frugal so I dunno if he will heh

[jaunty light]

ohh I get what you mean, watching the valorant grand finals with the bros (my fellow vtubers)

[deep sapphire]

Based

[odd sand]

Kana is still around? I thought she basically imploded a while back

Too cool for Tsunderia then too cool for Youtube, then only gets like a third of the audience on Twitch 🤷‍♀️ I think in a lot of cases with the vtuber drama it's bc they're too young to realize what a good thing they have going and squander it

[jaunty light]

idr what she left tsunderia for but she was MIA for a while because she was replacing her nacho avatar

[odd sand]

That's part of what I meant by making drama. How do you make drama about your avatar creator? And a lot of vtubers would kill to have a model by her and she throws it away

[jaunty light]

dont think nacho ever talked about it so it's just speculation or what kana said, which was after she went indie from tsunderia it strained relations with nacho to the point of her deciding on new assets

although iirc kana predates the other works nacho did anyways

gura by a couple months~

[odd sand]

Skimming it over, it does sound like Nacho could have handled it better, but probably something to do with not knowing English so she didn't know how to respond. But at the heart of it I assume after she did Gura's model, demand for her art skyrocketed + being on retainer for future Cover models. Hard to squeeze others in then, especially if she maybe wants to charge more money now, but would feel awkward severely increasing the rate for Kana being an indie

hey peeps i have a question

Do these dark spots mean dead cpu memory channels?

[dull garnet]

no

[sharp star]

yeah the dark spots is probably from normal use or manufacturing stuff, I don't remember

either way it's normal

[proven spade]

are we 100% sure they are normal?

or are there other possibilities too

[jaunty light]

maybe im blind but what am i supposed to be looking at

[analog aspen]

So im buying a 2nd hand rx 6800xt is there a way or application that i can ask the seller to install to test it for issues?

its like 300'sh usd bought on September 2021

i just want to test it first before shipping.

[torpid kayak]

[jaunty light]

im a grandma and need 300x zoom

[cerulean talon]

There's no specific way to determine, without a full pinout of the chip to say what any of those pads are. Mind you, probally 1/4th to 1/2 of them are literally power or ground connection.

[cerulean talon]

No, you might be able to get something like a benchmark with the card in and a video of the serial, but I doubt most providers are going to do that for a card in the 300$ range.

Even then, it's still easy af to fake.

I can't think of any software offhand that spits out the card's onboard serial, which is what you /really/ need.

[potent arrow]

@deep sapphire

[cerulean talon]

Man, if car batteries didn't make such great emergency welders.

[jaunty light]

the car sensed something needed to be welded and used the battery accordingly

these silly mechanics cannot grasp this new feature of teslas

[analog aspen]

i found a new seller it has 6 months warranty and will let me test it myself in his place.

[cerulean talon]

That's what I'd so.

*do.

[analog aspen]

i guess this one can be trusted not most sellers will let buyers test the item if its faulty.

[jaunty light]

are you in US/buying from ebay?

[analog aspen]

nope how i wish im in US so i can buy a brand new rx 6800

SEA

stores are out of stock sapphire rx 6800

[hard drift]

did you check the amd store if they offer it in your area?

[analog aspen]

hmm

[hard drift]

https://shop-us-en.amd.com/all-products/

[golden stream]

Isn't Sapphire just straight so hard to buy in SEA anyway?

[analog aspen]

not sure this is my first time looking for a sapphire brand.

[hard drift]

i know sapphire is generally a harder brand to come by because it's an amd only brand so people assume it's a lot better

[analog aspen]

last time i use a radeon its power color brand.

[hard drift]

same thing with evga originally

[analog aspen]

yeah i read a lot of great reviews for sapphire thats why i didn't buy gigabyte brand

[wide hill]

for my laptop:
max resolution size available on intel drivers on windows: 3840x1080

max resolution size available on intel drivers on linux:

[golden stream]

LMFAO

ye linux sometime is a bit on crack

[wide hill]

nah, it's actually works as intended on linux

the monitor size is that size, but due to the intel drivers on windows, it won't allow any higher, idk why.

[sly elk]

One upshot of buying an amd-only brand is they won’t do something dumb like reuse an nvidia heat sink on an amd gpu like asus did several times

I think they did that with Vegas and with their 5x00 amd gpus

[analog aspen]

Is rx 6750 xt has a close performance with rx 6800?

[lost python]

close yes

you want to turn on your headlights

headlight controls are on the fucking touch screen center console

2023 chevy colorado

https://tenor.com/view/ian-malcom-jurassic-park-science-could-should-gif-5197847

[wide hill]

not allowed to use the phone while driving

but you should always use the touchscreen that is embedded to the veichile, cuz that is not a phone.

[umbral moss]

well, it doesn't make phone calls, so yeah

[sly elk]

While I kinda agree with your point here, car interfaces are usually.. optimized for driving cars...

some do it better than others

it's still too distracting most of the time

[wide hill]

is there much of a regulation on what you can actually have on your screen whilst you are driving?

[sly elk]

I'd say it should be straight up illegal for car companies to sell cars without physical controls for stuff that they expect drivers to interact with while driving

nope

also, playing with the touchscreen in the car enough to be distracted is still illegal in places that have laws about distracted driving

but i think it's ludicrous to not have physical controls for stuff like moving the seat, adjusting the mirrors, adjusting the windshield wipers, adjusting the air conditioning, adjusting radio volume/on/off

[umbral moss]

alas, you have to be distracted in order to do anything like change a radio station or turn your fucking headlights on

[sly elk]

Yea, I can't believe it's legal to sell a car with a giant touchscreen for everything lol

[umbral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/future-is-now-old-man-future-malcolm-in-the-middle-gif-15498496

[sly elk]

if you have to take your hands off the wheel while driving, I'd say the car manufacturer failed at interfacing.

[wide hill]

shift stick in shambles

[sly elk]

lol 😄

ok let's try this again

if you take your hands off the wheel, it should only require 1 movement?

[wide hill]

you mean, you should not be able to need to take your eyes off the road

[sly elk]

that covers knobs and buttons

yea that's fair

[wide hill]

since you are missing tactical feedback, you don't know if what you pressed was pressed or not, so you have to take your eyes off the road to see if it has been done

[sly elk]

in fact I like your idea better because it makes a stronger case for not putting touch-sensitive controls on the steering wheel

I'd also argue that some physical interfaces suck, too.

like when you have a bank of buttons for ac controls

[wide hill]

it's like when oneplus wanted to remove the physical volume and shutdown buttons

[umbral moss]

google and apple already did

if you press what used to be the power button, it doesn't turn the phone off

[wide hill]

what

[umbral moss]

what shithead thought it was a good idea to turn the long press on the power button, long understood to be turn the fucking phone off, into a button that calls up the voice assistant

whoever thought that was a good idea should be strapped down and punched in the nuts for a month

[wide hill]

sure it is not like a "programmable button" thing?

[umbral moss]

it is, but the default behavior is that it calls the voice assistant

and not turn the phone off

[sly elk]

YEA II FUCKING HATE THIS

[umbral moss]

you have to go deep into the settings and change what used to be default behavior

[sly elk]

my favorite part about this is samsung used to have a dedicated button for bixby

[umbral moss]

you literally press the same button to turn the phone on

[sly elk]

and I hated that, too.

[umbral moss]

so it's like, they know you're using it to turn the phone on already

and yet, fuck you, it doesn't turn the phone off

[sly elk]

and the other hilarious part is if you launch bixby that way, it tells you hwo to shut your phone down

[umbral moss]

hope you enjoy being asked if you want to talk to google assistant

no, I fuckin don't

I want to turn my phone off

[sly elk]

and uh

I used siri on my iphone for controlling music in the car but uh

bixby? google assistant? OH HELL NAW

[umbral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/brooklyn-nine-nine-rosa-diaz-fart-noises-fart-farting-gif-22683456

[sly elk]

then again, I use gmail

so google already knows everything about me.

even if I don't use chrome or google or whatever

ugh it's just that alternatives to gmail are fucking awful

and/or expensive

[umbral moss]

if you're on the internet, your personal data has been stolen, mined, packaged, and re-sold without your consent

[sly elk]

when google threatened to kill my free google apps account (and many others) I looked into alternatives and the cheapest one was office 365's family plan... and it turned out that was juuuuuunk

[umbral moss]

good old "only four companies manage the flow of data across the entire network"

to the point that you roll your eyes every time you see a notice about a data breach

my favorite was the OPM breach

"tell us everything somebody could use to blackmail you!"
"oopsie, I guess everyone knows now"

[odd sand]

The most annoying thing about the touchscreen to me is you have to be in Park to set an address on the navigation unless its in favorites or history

I don't think mine has speech to text for giving new addresses

So sometimes I forget to set it before taking off and can't park anywhere and resort to just pulling it up on my phone instead of using the HUD nav

[sly elk]

my old jeep had this stupidly overpriced nav unit that ran QNX and had.. surprisingly good voice recognition considering the software was made in like 2005 probably

my newer one has a kinda useless voice recognition system lol

[sly walrus]

thought that said google assassin for a sec

[torpid kayak]

Asus: we didn't write anything about this case's bottom fan support
Case builders:

[potent arrow]

I mean when it comes to smaller cases and sff, you kinda just put fans anywhere they fit

Like uh this

Not even secured to anything

[odd sand]

I like that the moment case makers come up with elegant well ventilated designs, they're like: I take that back, here's non-breathable glass and shoeboxes. Have fun.

[potent arrow]

I hate the weird trend of reducing airflow rofl

[sly elk]

yea for sure

the part that i find obnoxious here is you CAN TOTALLY have glass

but you can also have mesh

the oldschool corsair 900d was able to do all of this (but that's easy when we're talking full towers)

I'll go out on a limb and say I'd rather have robust bottom->top flow than front->back flow

I really don't give a shit about front mesh

but that's purely anecdotal and personal preference

[odd sand]

I think my Corsair X570 does a good compromise: gaps around the side of the glass still allows plenty of airflow in and out

[sly elk]

with my inwin, running 3 fans in the front (even with the front door completely open) doesn't really do much of anything for the temps

the single biggest game changer is maxing out the bottom 2 140mm fans lol

i like this about the o11 :]

i think it can accomodate 3x140mm on the bottom and 3x140mm on top, no?

[potent arrow]

I will always bring up the 4000D. Still buying it for most people by default

[sly elk]

front->back works better if you have a cat though

yep, good case. Although.....

oh it does have vents

[potent arrow]

Ye

It's genuinely one of the better cases rn

[sly elk]

there is one tiny completely frivolous thing about the 4000d design that would probably keep me from buying one

[potent arrow]

And it's not expensive either

[sly elk]

but after messing with a 5000d in person I was impressed with those cases anyway

the way the sides of that front cover (the grey edge) taper inwards

it annoys me on an otherwise square case -_-

[potent arrow]

Ngl I think it's ugly lol

I just buy it for airflow and cost

[sly elk]

am i the only person who doesn't buy things for best value? XD

I mean, I do when the value proposition is insurmountable.. sometimes...

like I'd never buy a designer product, eg bang & olufsen tv

[potent arrow]

I mean I run a business

I rather spend their money on components

[sly elk]

and tbh

[potent arrow]

But for like my personal builds, my cases have no budget

[sly elk]

there really aren't that many case designs out there

that are worth the extra $$ anyway

[potent arrow]

The one I'm using is literally CNC limited run

Comes flatpacked

[sharp star]

alright I bought that AM5 contact frame and I'll see if it'll make any meaningful difference when I get my CPU

[torpid kayak]

Open-air case 😄

[torpid kayak]

hm yes am interested in one. But I'm not sure how to install the fan. It comes in pair and no RGB, so it feel awkward to set up with other brand RGB fans unless I stick the two Corsair fans to the top 🤔

perhaps I can add a 360 mm AiO in the front?

[hard drift]

Why on earth did you get an AM5 contact frame? What motherboard were you having a problem with that the socket wasn’t making full contact

[hard drift]

man, i knew my cooler was bad but holy shit lmfao

my cpu is 75c at 65w

isn't it lovely

[dull garnet]

Now run prime95

[hard drift]

hell no

not until i upgrade my cooler

[dull garnet]

Do it

[torpid kayak]

how can I cook egg with this temp?

[hard drift]

[dull garnet]

Small FFTs

See how quickly it hits 100c

[hard drift]

no thanks

[dull garnet]

Pfft

[torpid kayak]

get an electric fan blowing air through a purifier

[hard drift]

that sounds like money i don't want to spend

[torpid kayak]

gimme then :3

[hard drift]

no

don't want you spending it either

[torpid kayak]

I don't spend money. I hoard it :3

[hard drift]

hoard these bullets

i kind of want to wait for the air cooler i've been wanting to be out before i upgrade my cooler but, i kind of want my full performance out of it and might just upgrade my cooler next paycheck

[torpid kayak]

is cooler master's case fan good for their price? They are kinda pricey here. Two 120mm Sickleflow is as much as a triple-pack ID-COOLING fans 🤔

[sly elk]

i don't think they're anything special

[torpid kayak]

hm

https://nzxt.com/product/h510-flow

another smol candidate :3

[sly elk]

BIGGGGGGGG

i always wondered what the point of that front glass was

it's sticking out floating on what looks like a rickety support system

[cerulean talon]

The hank command continues to spread. Excellent. :3

[sly elk]

?

[cerulean talon]

Hank/catgirl is the first command in kupo that has to be added by a server admin, rather than disabled by a server admin, and it got chucked to being enabled in here earlier.

[sly elk]

lol

/hank

nope

[torpid kayak]

to capture dust better

[cerulean talon]

!hank

[jaunty nacelle]

use slash commands or discord will come to your house and revoke your message content intent

[cerulean talon]

We've already got an exclusion. :P

Half of the stuff kupo auctually does would be impossible w/o message content intent.

[jaunty nacelle]

but the privacy of users!!

[cerulean talon]

You mean, "We're too cheap to keep paying for the bandwidth"

[jaunty nacelle]

nah

it's the "we're gonna force you to use slash commands"

[golden stream]

FEK THE SLASH COMMAND

They thought 1 bot per server? Hecc nawn

[sly elk]

anyone use a smartwatch that isn't an apple watch?

[odd sand]

Apple not play well outside of it's own ecosystem? Surely, not!

[sly elk]

i wonder if anything aside from the aw works on iphones either

[analog aspen]

gigabyte aorus rx 6800 master

[real edge]

sapphire nitro+ 6800

[real edge]

both of them are top of the line aftermarket models

they will perform the same

go with the one that has the best warranty and looks

[proven oyster]

i wanna ask tech smart people

what happens if you have high memory usage

Like, a 90% memory usage for example

[real edge]

from what

[proven oyster]

From multi game usage

As in, having two games open at once, and while CPU and GPU is manageable, Memory is the one that goes high

[sly elk]

nothing

[proven oyster]

Nothing nothing at all nothing? ;D

[real edge]

yeah nothing

unless the games start demanding more than you have

its fine

[sharp star]

Just sitting there wondering why my sister's CPU was overheating and I just went "oh"
