|
yNos |
the coordinator asked us to do a site survey. |

n1mjf |
What benefit does IRLP have over Echolink? |

I always felt that Echolink had more options but I was never big into vhf/uhf |

| 00:12 |
|
yNos |
you can connect repeaters with irlp.. i dont know that you are supposed to with echolink |
| 00:12 |
|
BitViper |
afaik irlp is just linking repeaters, where echolink allows individuals to tie in too |
| 00:12 |
|
yNos |
yupyup |
| 00:12 |

they had better not interfere with wireless mics |
| 02:26 |
|
tonsofpcs |
ugh... |
| 02:26 |
|
egrsteve |
ya |
| 02:26 |
|
tonsofpcs |
They will. |
| 02:26 |
|
tonsofpcs |
Which is annoying. |
| 02:26 |
|
tonsofpcs |
Since I am a LICENSED user of UHF wireless mics. |
| 02:26 |
|
tonsofpcs |
you're an unlicensed user, you've always been secondary and/or tertiary depending on what channels |
| 02:27 |
|
egrsteve |
wireless mics are low power and even if they did listen first they could walk over them due to longer range |
| 02:27 |
|
tonsofpcs |
yup. |
| 02:27 |
|
tonsofpcs |
well, it's worse now too since channel 60+ are gone |
| 02:27 |
|
egrsteve |
how much work/ cost is it for a uhf mic license |
| 02:27 |
|
tonsofpcs |
you need to have a TV/DT license |
| 02:28 |
|
egrsteve |
ah, ok |
| 02:28 |
|
tonsofpcs |
licensees of TV stations have a license to use mics in the UHF band. |
| 02:28 |
|
tonsofpcs |
idk what the VHF rules are |
| 02:28 |
|
egrsteve |
so you can't get a mic only license |
| 02:28 |
|
tonsofpcs |
not afaik |
| 02:28 |
|
egrsteve |
so if your in analog 20, you can use mics in that spectrum |
| 02:28 |
|
tlockley |
tonsofpcs: so does that mean that I/my Univ needs a license for our UHF shures? |
| 02:28 |
|
tonsofpcs |
we coordinate where our wireless mics are through the SBE freq coord so we aren't on the same freqs as others |
| 02:29 |
|
tonsofpcs |
tlockley: no. Unlicensed use is allowed on a secondary and/or tertiary basis (depending on the channel) |
| 02:29 |
|
tonsofpcs |
it does technically mean that if a news crew from a TV station shows up and powers on, you've gotta shut off. In reality they probably scan for a free channel and don't bother you |
| 02:29 |
|
tlockley |
meaning? (still very new to understanding radio and spectrum usage) |
| 02:29 |
|
tlockley |
oh, ah |
| 02:30 |
|
tonsofpcs |
also, universities are special in the RF world in the US |
| 02:30 |
|

as long as everyone plays resonably it's not a big deal |
| 02:30 |

really? |

(it's different for different services) |

well, yea, you cannot go on top of a TV channel that exists |
| 02:31 |

| 02:34 |

for many radio services, universities are allowed to utilize the system so long as they don't go over part 15 (1 microvolt per meter at 1 meter) at the edge of the campus. |
| 02:34 |

micrrovolt, not millivolte |
| 02:35 |

which is funny since fluorescent lamps in commercial spaces are allowed 30 millivolts per meter at 30 meters.... yea.... |

once it's saved, you can F7 and choose google maps to see just what scale it is. You'll be surprised (oh, and tell it not to keep the data) |

you need atleast a cursory understanding of how *nix works before you do gentoo, IMO |

you're going to want to see the terrain and have a rough idea of where it is, keep it saved with terrain. When you run plots, you can do it over terraain or over map *or* you can render a white 'map' and then render terrain then save it and load it in google earth :) |

It's all handled by one magical chip which fits on your thumb. |

i have very low opinion of onboard audio |

i basically only use spdif unless i have my firestudio hooked up |

I have a pair of Samson CH700, nice cans and dirt cheap. |
| 03:32 |
|
tlockley |
tonsofpcs: is Samson decent enough? their stuff always felt cheap to me |
| 03:32 |
|
tlockley |
like the bad kind of cheap |
| 03:32 |
|
tonsofpcs |
tlockley: I got them in a kit with my zoom H1 from B&H, they sat in the box for a few weeks. One day I needed a pair of cans and they were handy so I grabbed them. I've been using them ever since. |
| 03:33 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: Physically they're almost identical to my HD380s, actually. |
| 03:33 |
|
tonsofpcs |
(they sat in the box because I figured they were dirt cheap POSs) |
| 03:33 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: But they have somewhat different specs |
| 03:33 |
|
tlockley |
well that is certainly a vote of confidence |
| 03:33 |
|
tonsofpcs |
Monkeh: granted, the sennheiser mic boom migght actually be worth $30 |
| 03:33 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: If they sound half as good as the 380s.. |
| 03:34 |
|
tonsofpcs |
tlockley: for $20, even if you don't like them they're a $20 pair of circumaural headphones |
| 03:34 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: I think the combination of that card and headphones is pretty effective at the price.. |
| 03:34 |
|
tlockley |
good point tons |
| 03:34 |
|
tonsofpcs |
Monkeh: I don't argue that, but they could have found a better connector |
| 03:34 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: For the breakout cable? Yes, possibly. |
| 03:34 |
|
Monkeh |
I like the I/O plate style mine has. |
| 03:34 |
|
tonsofpcs |
tlockley: you'll pay the same (or more) for HD202s. |
| 03:34 |
|

Not that I use 7.1 speakers, but still, that's how I'd prefer to connect them. |

Monkeh |
BatSteve: Too boring. |
| 04:15 |
|
tonsofpcs |
Monkeh: they're useful when you need a piece of string or similar to lash wires together to make systems look neat. |
| 04:16 |
|
tonsofpcs |
(instead of twist-ties or cable ties) |
| 04:16 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: No, I carry large numbers of cable ties for that.. |

now you carry cable ties AND headphones for that! |
| 04:16 |

Monkeh |
I might try shooting the wires off them. |
| 04:16 |
|
tonsofpcs |
Monkeh: use them for temporary support while lashing large amounts of wire/cable together? |
| 04:17 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: Again, too flimsy. |
| 04:17 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: Seriously, I could break these by pulling on them gently. |
| 04:17 |
|
tonsofpcs |
then do that! |
| 04:17 |

Monkeh |

| 04:17 |

(says the man who uses 21 AWG wire for power corrd) |

.. seriously, I just broke the wire in two with less effort than it takes to open a ziplock bag.. |
| 04:18 |
|
tonsofpcs |
braid it together to make it stronger? |
| 04:18 |
|
Monkeh |
Let's strip it and see how much actual copper is in these |
| 04:18 |
|
tonsofpcs |
use it as magnet wire? |
| 04:18 |
|
tonsofpcs |
copper? you expect copper?! |
| 04:18 |
|
tonsofpcs |
if you can snap it like that, I say alum. |
| 04:18 |
|
Monkeh |
.. oh, fuck me, that's small |
| 04:18 |
|
Monkeh |
It IS copper, amazingly. |
| 04:18 |

are you sure? not just enameled alum? |

yea, I know, I've been wondering if wolfram alpha can do the conversion |
| 04:23 |
|
tonsofpcs |
apparently it can do AWG > diameter and cross section but not the other way around |
| 04:23 |

hehe |
| 04:24 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: I'm pretty sure it is actually copper. |
| 04:24 |
|
Monkeh |
It's the right colour, beyond that I'm not sure how to tell reliably especially at this size. |
| 04:24 |
|
tonsofpcs |
is it malliable? :) |
| 04:24 |
|
tonsofpcs |
(also, how the @$^@* do you measure that diameter?) |
| 04:25 |
|
Monkeh |
You mean does it bend rather than snap? |
| 04:25 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: Digital caliper. |
| 04:25 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: Amazing tools. |
| 04:26 |
|
tonsofpcs |
Monkeh: per WA, that's barely thicker than a US dollar bill... i haven't seen a digital caliper that can accurately measure something so small annd usually at that size, you get into "where am I actually just touching and where am I deforming that which I am meaasuring?" |
| 04:26 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: 0.13mm is measured at the point at which it won't fall out under the weight of the earbud attached to it. |
| 04:27 |
|
Monkeh |
And it matches up to 36AWG pretty much exactly so I'll call it good. |
| 04:28 |
|
tonsofpcs |
dude, they probably just extrude copper until it snaps and just use that to make the cable :-p |
| 04:28 |
|
Monkeh |
Probably! |
| 04:28 |
|
Monkeh |
Amazingly tiny stuff |
| 04:28 |
|
Monkeh |
I've seen 30AWG |
| 04:28 |
|
Monkeh |
Never smaller |
| 04:28 |
|
tonsofpcs |
I've seen strands of stranded cable that are around that size... like, stranded Cat5.... |
| 04:29 |
|
tonsofpcs |
i've seen enameled wire that the wire must be around that size, but that's a bit different. |
| 04:29 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: The only 30AWG I've seen is enamelled wire. |
| 04:29 |
|
tonsofpcs |
also, I figured out why your headphones sounded so crappyy. The wires couldn't carry power without being overly capacitive at that voltage.... |
| 04:29 |
|
wannabe1987 |
why are they trying to break cnc machines? |
| 04:30 |
|
tonsofpcs |
Monkeh: grab a piece of stranded cat5 and look at an individual strand. I'd expect it to be around 34-36 awg.... |
| 04:30 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: I don't have any stranded cat5e which isn't terminated. |
| 04:30 |
|
tonsofpcs |
reterminate a piece a few cm shorter? |
| 04:30 |
|
Monkeh |
cba. |
| 04:31 |
|
Monkeh |
Hate dealing with stranded |
| 04:31 |
|
tonsofpcs |
alternatively, grab that piece of crap stranded terminated cat5 that you've been meaning to replace for months because it's so finnicky and about to fall apart anyway |
| 04:31 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: Just looking at datasheets, I see 7x0.25 (30AWG strands) |
| 04:31 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: All I have in that state is FTP and I don't have crimps for that. |
| 04:32 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: I should mention that 7x0.25 is 22AWG industrial grade cable. |
| 04:33 |
|
tonsofpcs |
wow, those headphones are crap :-p |
| 04:33 |
|
tonsofpcs |
and you're sure you tared out the caliper? |
| 04:34 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: 24AWG is 7x0.2 which is 32AWG |
| 04:34 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: So yes, I can see the really shite, cheap 26AWG cat5e being 7x0.16 or so.. |
| 04:34 |
|
tonsofpcs |
I thought cat5 was minimum 24? |
| 04:34 |
|
tonsofpcs |
anyway, nap time, cya ;) |
| 04:34 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: No, it just has to meet electrical specs. |
| 04:35 |
|
Monkeh |
tonsofpcs: They can do what they like so long as it meets the signalling requirements |
| 04:35 |

the daystar gives us the energy with which to cook food (especially at the renfaire where they use solar panels in the middle of nowhere to run their electric wares) |

I think could easily make a full auto belt fed nerf |
| 04:53 |
|
Druidic_Sniper |
All i need is to create a modifyed Autococker piston with like a 3 inch throw |
| 04:53 |
|

it went in for a 3 hour job....3 days ago |
| 10:16 |

n1mjf |
It was supposed to have both front upper ball joints and front wheel bearings replaced. They couldn't get the right control arms, took the pars store 2 tries on that |
| 10:16 |
|

and now we had to order shocks |

178,000 miles on all the old parts though so I cant complain too much |

well ur not really missing out on anythin, other than good tasting beer |

I will make one exception on the drinking. If there is a bottle of mead around, I will drink it |

mmmmm. mulled mead. |

ever try mead? |
| 10:22 |
|
Experimentonomen |
dunno wut that even is |
| 10:23 |
|
n1mjf |
It's the oldest form of alcohol known to history. (so i've been told) |
| 10:23 |
|
n1mjf |
It's like a wine but made from 100% honey |
| 10:23 |
|
Experimentonomen |
hm |
| 10:24 |
|
n1mjf |
cheap but VERY hard to find. I can get it here around the holidays at one place and it's about $12 a bottle |
| 10:24 |
|
angy |
depend a lot when you search it |
| 10:24 |
|
angy |
around where I grew up, very very easy to find nearly everywhere |
| 10:25 |
|
n1mjf |
I don't ever see it in the summertime here |
| 10:26 |
|
n1mjf |
It's good hot in the winter but hot changes the taste completely. Almost like hot apple cider when hot. |
| 10:26 |
|
n1mjf |
It's good for cooking with as well |
| 10:28 |
|
n1mjf |
Hmm. Either of you use solid state drives? |
| 10:36 |

n1mjf, so its like the mulled wine commonly consumed during christmas ? |

i just had to stop my security center just to stop windows bugging me to restart the machine after an update. |
| 11:08 |
|
Experimentonomen |
i have auto updates turned off |
| 11:08 |
|
CaptainNiobe |
i let it notify me, but don't allow it to auto-update or auto-restart. |
| 11:09 |

and yesterday something was goin on w my lappy cuz the power supply was literally burning hot wheres its usually luke warm |
| 11:10 |
|
CaptainNiobe |
but i updated and it was telling me - evry 5 fucking minutes - that windows was almost updated but needed a reboot to finish. so, i found the security center in cp > admin tools > services and just stopped the service. not disabling it, when i reboot it can come back up then. until then, i donb't want to be bugged. |
| 11:11 |
|
CaptainNiobe |
see, i can't run mbam currently, no idea why, uninstalled, downloaded a fresh copy and reinstalled and it still gets an error on launch. that's why i updated, thought it might be something in a windows update causing it. yet to reboot to test though |
| 11:11 |
|
Experimentonomen |
i will never auto update ever again, last time i had an auto update, puter shut off and wouldent restart for several tries which had me think a vicious virus or a total and fatal dhh crash |

To turn what off? |

|
CaptainNiobe |
i'm not upgrading then... lol... xp is a pita, but at least i know how to stop it mostt the time |
| 11:28 |
|

That's why one should deactivate AUTOMATIC updates and do them manually or in the night |
| 11:28 |
|
CaptainNiobe |
they are disabled, einball, i only allow xp to notify me. |

Dumb question.... How the heck do you get a computre infected? |

by going to suspect websites... but downloading/running suspect programs... |

It's funny. I am usually never infected, but somehow most of my relatives get infected... |
| 11:33 |

windows 7 is a thousand times better than xp CaptainNiobe |
| 11:34 |
|
CaptainNiobe |
yet it's harder to turn shit off, LemLap? lol... nty... |
| 11:34 |

CaptainNiobe, a thousand other things are better though |
| 11:35 |
|

The UI for windows 7... But I sorta like XP |
| 11:35 |

letting 1 bad thing stop you from a thousand other good things is kinda silly |

XP is something widely still used because it's a low profile operating system, it doesn't need much hardware power to run.. |

Eww, crappily inefficient internal combustion engines. |

electric cars will never happen, the range is just nowhere near good enuf to be a viable alternative to the ICE |

On a general inter city daily commute they are more than feasible. I think the Tesla Roadster got almost 500km out of one charge. |

And we're going to have to change some day, we're not going to have enough petroleum to feed our industry soon. |

well when the ICE no longer has a fue source its good by air travel |

This is true, which is why we should try to preserve our fuel reservoirs better, rather than just wasting it in a gridlocked city, containing thousands of ICE's. |

but by then we likely already have high speed rail lines that can take u from sweden to australia in like 10-20 minutes |

crashes at that speed means no survivors... :P |

Hence we can move away from fossil fuels, if those speeds ever happen. |

And heck, it wouldn't even be that hard to adapt the air transport industry to run on different, artifically produced fuels. |

the prollem may be finding a control program that supports the servo/stepper drivers in that plasma |

or replace the drivers as well just keeping the motors |

let me guess, there's as many opinions on the matter as there are IT professionals? |
| 17:22 |
|
tonsofpcs |
astro73|alice: eh, not really. I mean, yea, everyone has a different style, but basically you bundle cables to sides and tie them every so often so that it looks like one big cabe harness instead of a bunch of random point-to-point and dangling wirres |
| 17:23 |
|
astro73|alice |
ah, ok |
| 17:23 |
|
astro73|alice |
although i'm guessing sanity comes not from how you tie your cables, but how you organize your boxen |
| 17:24 |
|
tonsofpcs |
well, they're interrelated |
| 17:25 |
|
tonsofpcs |
I mean, we have 5RU boxes with over ...192 cables interconnecting. All of those go to a patch point within the 12 RU above, then out of the rack that they're in. How the cables are tied away to allow one to maintain that 5U box and the patch panels above it matters quite a bit :) |
| 17:26 |
|
astro73|alice |
yes, i see |
| 17:27 |
|
tonsofpcs |
(alternating left-side/right-side for each 2U space makes it a lot easier to get into than left-side being run from the left and right-side being run from the right for everything) |
| 17:28 |
|
tonsofpcs |
my 24U portable rack, for the most part, has signal going down one side and power going down the other (while there are many more signal cables than power cords, the power cords are much thicker) |
| 17:29 |
|
astro73|alice |
sounds a bit like an art |
| 17:30 |
|
tonsofpcs |
I mean, there's some places where it's blatently obvious that the best way is "A" but in most places, there's plenty of options. Many facilities will have a best-practice for what to do |

well, ethernet has a maximum length of 100m over cat5, so there's often telecom closets placed strategically thoughout buildings. |

manual trick: search for model #'s second half and device description ("X5" "CCD" "Camcorder") with filetype:PDF |

Okay, so Sparkfun sell good solder. |
| 17:56 |

(sometimes you can search full model # but that doesn't always work -- often PDF manuals will have the first page OCRd but manufacturers love to make the two halves of the model # completely different font sizes which makes only half of it useful) |

about the same |
| 20:45 |

the LM3886 amp gets warmer than th audio pro. but the audio pro got bigger sinks |
| 20:46 |
|
Electricguy |
the LM3886 goes up to about 40c idle |
| 20:46 |

my lafet amp runs around 150mA bias per channel and even after a day or loud music its varely even warm o_O |
| 20:46 |

lol ok |
| 20:47 |
|
Experimentonomen |
and ppl called that amp a fire hazard |
| 20:50 |
|
Experimentonomen |
well i guess technocally it is since parts that can potentially get 100+deg C are in contact with wood whioch beeing particleboard might be easier to light aflame than solid wood |
| 20:50 |

o_O |

yeh |

i thought abt putting this thing in a 4U rackmount box but realized modding such box would require pretty much the same tools and amount of work as just building up a chassi around the amp i i may just leave it as is and call it done :/ |

This moped is not supposed to ever move faster than 45kph unless it is in someones trunk |

The old one was rawtrimmed, and it borked both the piston and cylinder. So I got a new cylinder. Now I need to restrict flow. |

| 23:06 |

galvy steel is coated in zinc |
| 23:06 |
|
MoxieMike |
when heated, the zinc will burn and become zinc oxide which is toxic |
