L28[06:42:46] <ff​_66> You see, back in 2016, Windows 7 Enterprise was installed on my PC, which can only be bought in the form of VL, more precisely, MAK (multiple activation keys).
L29[06:42:47] <ff​_66> It means that, since the others PC from the university where the product key came from were surely trashed, I have at least 4 other computers that can be actvated with the most expensive edition of windows, which at the time didn't require a domain or a broker to install

L33[07:29:50] <Izzy> remember, you shouldn't pirate proprietary software, as that only spreads proprietary software
L34[07:31:33] <ff​_66> technically, it has been bought, and the university completely allowed to use the keys for free as they would pay themselves
L35[07:32:08] <ff​_66> also it is not my fault if everyone thinks that every key is an OEM key
L36[07:32:48] <ff​_66> that's why Retail is better if you want to change the PC later, aka if you plan on the long term
L37[07:33:54] <Izzy> I would simply have my workplace pay for it and deal with it
L38[07:34:03] <Izzy> which would likely mean me dealing with it in a roundabout way
L39[07:34:22] <ff​_66> the trouble though with VL is that if you know what is the key, you basically have like, 5 to 200 Windows in the same 25 characters code
L40[07:35:28] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> remember, you shouldn't pirate proprietary software, as tha…
L41[07:35:28] <Li​ly> Izzy: True, but it's better than paying for proprietary software!

L43[07:37:24] <ff​_66> if you reverse the sentence, you just said "If you want the game, pirate it. If you like it, buy it." which would effectively spread the popularity of the software and... increase in some ways the revenues, but not as much as "Everyone pays before using !!!"
L44[07:38:51] <Corded> > <Lilyfl​owerFDL> Izzy: True, but it's better than paying for proprietary sof…
L45[07:38:51] <ff​_66> every file needed for minecraft to run *are* in free access, you're just paying for one command line to launch the game
L46[07:39:20] <ff​_66> *And an access to multiplayer worlds
L47[07:39:38] <ff​_66> But who needs that anyways ?
L48[07:40:04] <Izzy> Lily: Philosophical question: is non-game software art?
L49[07:40:24] <ff​_66> **and no it is not my fault if it is starting to speak about piracy**
L50[07:40:26] <Izzy> Games and other entertainment software generally is considered as such, but,
L51[07:40:31] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> Lily: Philosophical question: is non-game software art?
L52[07:40:32] <Li​ly> Izzy: It depends!
L53[07:40:50] <Li​ly> I'd consider software made as a hobby project to be art
L54[07:40:58] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> Lily: Philosophical question: is non-game software art?
L55[07:40:58] <ff​_66> well, if you pay microsoft only for the wallpapers...
L56[07:42:25] <Izzy> I get what you're going for there, but I'm not sure it's entirely fair to categorise paid work as not-art
L57[07:42:41] <Corded> > <Lilyfl​owerFDL> I'd consider software made as a hobby project to be art
L58[07:42:41] <ff​_66> so making a custom firmware on a calculator as a hobby is art ?
L59[07:43:01] <Izzy> art commissions are still art
L60[07:43:08] <Corded> > <ff​_66> so making a custom firmware on a calculator as a hobby is a…
L61[07:43:08] <Li​ly> Yes, it is
L62[07:43:21] <Li​ly> Izzy: Hobby work can be paid
L63[07:43:42] <Izzy> I guess your thinking is along the lines of intent?
L64[07:43:46] <Li​ly> Yeah
L65[07:43:53] <Izzy> If one did not have to work to live, would all software then be art?
L66[07:44:20] <Li​ly> I think it still depends -- did they enjoy making it?
L67[07:44:31] <Li​ly> Though you can make art and not enjoy it
L68[07:45:16] <ff​_66> well, if you enjoy having pain, then :
L69[07:45:16] <ff​_66> 1. you're a masochist
L70[07:45:16] <ff​_66> 2. yes it would be software art

L81[08:38:27] <Liizzi​i-chan> So this folder managed to sync overnight with one two nodes (source and one remote), reintroduced the 2nd remote node just now so we'll see if they can sync up as well and stay in sync.

L85[09:06:24] <Forec​aster> bleh
L86[09:06:31] <Forec​aster> why is rotating the display on a pi so hard
L87[09:06:47] <Forec​aster> nothing works
L88[09:07:03] <ff​_66> use a phi instead
L89[09:13:25] <Forec​aster> are you kidding me...
L90[09:13:28] <ff​_66> yes
L91[09:13:52] <ff​_66> i know what a raspberry pi is
L92[09:14:19] <Forec​aster> apparently for the screen configuration to save the settings you have to use `File > Quit`
L93[09:14:27] <ff​_66> what model also ?
L94[09:14:37] <Forec​aster> and *not* the very prominent `Close` button
L95[09:14:59] <Forec​aster> which apparently revers any changes without prompting, even after having pressed `Apply`
L96[09:15:02] <Forec​aster> 😐
L97[09:15:14] <Forec​aster> * reverts any changes without prompting, even after having pressed `Apply`
L98[09:15:25] <Forec​aster> that is so dumb...
L99[09:15:35] <ff​_66> `Close` and `Quit` are synonyms, *right* ?
L100[09:16:00] <Forec​aster> generally yes...
L101[09:16:12] <Forec​aster> this is a pi3b+
L102[09:18:49] <Izzy> not on OS X
L103[09:19:07] <Izzy> or RISC OS, for that matter
L104[09:19:15] <Izzy> that runs on RPis
L105[09:19:30] <Forec​aster> I'm using PiOS
L106[09:20:41] <Forec​aster> also none of this would have been necessary if someone hadn't decided to change the default orientation for some reason, which caused the *official* 7" touch screen to be upside down in all holders made for it
L107[09:22:25] <ff​_66> i think my PC should be good (some prices specified are roughly the good ones) : https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/rMgQ34
L108[09:25:25] <ff​_66> and *yes* i want a good amount of RAM at a good frequency
L109[09:25:42] <Izzy> GPU seems a little unbalanced
L110[09:25:56] <Forec​aster> I had like 20 tabs open about rotating the screen...
L111[09:27:02] <Izzy> also, ff_66, if you're on a budget, considering getting max size DIMMs so you don't have to replace them later to get more
L112[09:27:17] <Izzy> takes about 10 years for you to end up swimming in DIMMs and by then they're two gens old
L113[09:27:50] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> GPU seems a little unbalanced
L114[09:27:50] <ff​_66> it is already bought and for what i'm doing with it i'm fine
L115[09:28:01] <Izzy> but you may not want to end up like me having use for that much DDR3 y'know
L116[09:28:26] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> also, ff_66, if you're on a budget, considering getting max…
L117[09:28:26] <ff​_66> what do you mean by "max size" ? it is already 48GB each, which is the max for the motherboard
L118[09:28:42] <Izzy> oh the motherboard doesn't support DIMMs bigger than 48GB?
L119[09:28:42] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> but you may not want to end up like me having use for that …
L120[09:28:43] <ff​_66> my current PC is on 8 GB DDR3
L121[09:29:06] <Izzy> I don't know what the max DDR5 size is
L122[09:29:15] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> oh the motherboard doesn't support DIMMs bigger than 48GB?
L123[09:29:15] <ff​_66> some support 64GB but *come on*
L124[09:29:15] <ff​_66> it is already ok for playing BeamNG.drive
L125[09:29:41] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> I don't know what the max DDR5 size is
L126[09:29:41] <ff​_66> before it was 48GB, now it is 64GB for *some motherboards*
L127[09:29:50] <ff​_66> per DIMM
L128[09:30:10] <Izzy> I mean the standard and what's produced, not the motherboard implementations :p
L129[09:30:11] <ff​_66> maybe a future update will allow for more but for now...
L130[09:30:26] <Izzy> if the board can only handle 48GB per stick then it seems ideal - you won't have to replace them down the road, and you won't need to steal them to put into something else
L131[09:31:07] <ff​_66> and later in like 1 or 2 years i'll invest into a custom watercooling
L132[09:31:32] <ff​_66> it's somewhat cheap to maintain and if the pump fails it costs less than any AIO
L133[09:31:56] <Spider ​EveryOS> %tonk
L134[09:31:56] <MichiBot> Hooray! Spider ​EveryOS! You beat kim​apr's previous record of 3 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds (By 1 hour, 22 minutes and 48 seconds)! I hope you're happy!
L135[09:31:57] <MichiBot> Spider EveryOS's new record is 5 hours, 18 minutes and 52 seconds! Spider EveryOS also gained 0.00552 (0.00138 x 4) tonk points for stealing the tonk. Position #1.
L136[09:32:01] <ff​_66> also 6400MHz is really good for DDR5
L137[09:32:14] <ff​_66> i could get more but...
L138[09:32:21] <ff​_66> $$$$$
L139[09:32:38] <Izzy> > DDR5 octuples the maximum DIMM capacity from 64 GB to 512 GB
L140[09:33:05] <Izzy> I feel like at least at this stage, a max size DDR5 DIMM may be excessive. Carry on.
L141[09:33:33] <Izzy> Not that I imagine you can buy them that big yet anyway
L142[09:34:43] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> > DDR5 octuples the maximum DIMM capacity from 64 GB to 512…
L143[09:34:43] <ff​_66> well, now, DDR5-6800 it is
L144[09:34:53] <ff​_66> still 96GB, but faster
L145[09:35:11] <ff​_66> and still in the CPU specs
L146[09:35:23] <ff​_66> (to avoid any warranty void)
L147[09:35:32] <Izzy> that means the RAM is actually running at ... 3.4Ghz?
L148[09:35:55] <ff​_66> that's the speed of my current PC, yeah
L149[09:36:23] <ff​_66> 3.5GHz, OC to 4.4GHz (could get more by increasing latency)
L150[09:37:03] <ff​_66> but eh, it will perform at least
L151[09:37:18] <Izzy> hm? no I meant DDR means they call it double the clock speed because it does two transfers per cycle
L152[09:37:41] <ff​_66> yes taskmgr corrected this recently
L153[09:37:53] <ff​_66> now it is MT, not MHz
L154[09:38:33] <Izzy> once upon a time it was correct, I guess
L155[09:38:43] <ff​_66> it is not overkill, it is futureproofing
L156[09:39:04] <ff​_66> also i calculated the inflation and deducted that it is as expensive as in 2016
L157[09:40:01] <ff​_66> i'll change the CPU when the socket will be "dead" which will make it cheaper and then wait a couple years with my OC setup
L158[09:41:41] <ff​_66> which will be chaper than getting a cheap 1000€ PC twice in 10 years, but my parents aren't understanding my thinkings
L159[09:42:15] <ff​_66> they just think that i've been "poisoned" by experienced PC builders & gamers
L160[09:42:29] <ff​_66> and thus they don't want to hear me
L161[09:42:32] <Izzy> I don't think that's on them
L162[09:43:18] <ff​_66> well, i still need the money
L163[09:43:44] <ff​_66> i've got 200€ and they've got not much more at the end of each month
L164[09:44:54] <ff​_66> sure, gamers don't know that a mouse is not as important as the rest (my mouse is the same since the beginning in 2016)
L165[09:45:14] <ff​_66> but they've got great advices on other things than peripherals
L166[09:45:16] <Izzy> I got scammed with my mouse, it cost $15
L167[09:47:05] <ff​_66> it's not a scam, it's a fine price for that kind of peripherals
L168[09:47:31] <ff​_66> my K120 keyboard : same : cheap and it does its job
L169[09:48:20] <ff​_66> my 1080p 60Hz screen : completely fine byt gamers say "120Hz is the must have", which is WRONG
L170[09:48:25] <Izzy> I dunno I could've gotten one for free, like I did with my keyboard
L171[09:48:49] <Izzy> you may not like it but the Dell SK-8135 is what peak performance looks like
L172[09:49:20] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> I dunno I could've gotten one for free, like I did with my …
L173[09:49:20] <ff​_66> you can get entire PCs for free if you ask enterprises which are throwing away their PCs
L174[09:49:40] <ff​_66> it might not work but it is worth trying
L175[09:50:20] <Izzy> tangentially, if you're buying a 1080p monitor, consider a 1920x1200 one instead
L176[09:50:34] <Izzy> same price used, but you get 120 extra pixels
L177[09:50:51] <Izzy> something to keep in mind for the future :)
L178[09:51:18] <Izzy> (120 vertical pixels. brain -> keyboard is working as well as usual)

L180[09:52:02] <ff​_66> i can get free 1080p monitors thans to the university where my father works in
L181[09:52:34] <ff​_66> and... Very old PCs also
L182[09:52:51] <ff​_66> like the PC i'm currently on with a Core 2 Duo
L183[09:53:12] <Izzy> mmmh, anything newer would probably be Fine for light use after all
L184[09:53:36] <Izzy> people may complain about library computers being slow but they don't usually do anything about it
L185[09:53:58] <ff​_66> Well, it can still play Minecraft 1.0.0 in 30 fps with Optifine
L186[09:54:19] <ff​_66> with a slight upgrade which is the nVidia GT 218
L187[09:54:33] <Izzy> I had a 220 once
L188[09:54:45] <Izzy> with a uhhhh... C2D E6300?
L189[09:55:02] <Izzy> and a board packed to the gills with RAM (4GB)
L190[09:55:07] <Izzy> it ran skyrim okay
L191[09:55:16] <ff​_66> and the 1650 being the same performance as some iGPUs today, i'm definitely playing BeamNG in dula monitor setup
L192[09:55:41] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> with a uhhhh... C2D E6300?
L193[09:55:42] <ff​_66> mine's got an E8400
L194[09:56:09] <ff​_66> apparently very good but the chipset is preventing me from *upgrading it*
L195[09:56:16] <Izzy> I had two C2Ds I could choose from
L196[09:56:23] <ff​_66> (by OC sure)
L197[09:56:41] <Izzy> the E6300 at 1.86Ghz or ... a different one, at something more like 3Ghz, but it didn't have VT-x, and the E6300 did
L198[09:56:46] <Izzy> so the E6300 got the job
L199[09:57:37] <Izzy> hm. the nforce chipset in that machine kinda sucked but you know what it did have? firewire. my current machine doesn't have firewire. an unfortunate oversight.
L200[09:57:39] <ff​_66> both were E6300 ?
L201[09:57:53] <Izzy> no, the other option was a different, faster model without VT-x
L202[09:58:46] <ff​_66> who needs that anyways ?
L203[09:58:58] <Izzy> me, of course
L204[09:59:12] <Izzy> hii my name is Izzy and I'm a virtualisation addict

L207[09:59:58] <ff​_66> why are you introducing yourself when my mother just come next to me ?
L208[10:00:22] <Izzy> I like to spin up lots of cute little VMs, give them a network, and watch them cooperate, or fight
L209[10:00:42] <ff​_66> since when can VM fight ?

L211[10:02:19] <Izzy> they can not get along :(
L212[10:02:36] <ff​_66> also i forgot to include thermal paste :(
L213[10:02:41] <ff​_66> in my build
L214[10:02:53] <ff​_66> what amount should i get ?
L215[10:03:34] <ff​_66> and what is the best in term of thermal conductivity ?
L216[10:04:25] <Izzy> fr though I would never consider a CPU for a desktop without virtualisation support
L217[10:04:32] <Izzy> having the option can be super convenient
L218[10:05:24] <ff​_66> yes for security purposesbut for a normal user though...
L219[10:06:26] <Izzy> security? well maybe, I gather modern windows is running inside HyperV now for some reason
L220[10:06:46] <Izzy> from my perspective, what if I need some weird utility, or I need to test software on a different OS?
L221[10:06:54] <Izzy> or if I want to test something on my current OS, repeatedly?
L222[10:06:57] <Izzy> I can just roll back a VM
L223[10:07:05] <Izzy> you can do that with a normal OS sure but it's inconvenient
L224[10:07:20] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> security? well maybe, I gather modern windows is running in…
L225[10:07:20] <ff​_66> maybe KubesOS can use VT-x to secure the system even more ?
L226[10:07:53] <ff​_66> but modern windows use this to protect the kernel
L227[10:16:51] <ff​_66> there we go
L228[10:16:51] <ff​_66> same thing, my parents are complaining about the perfectly normal for a PC
L229[10:17:05] <ff​_66> *normal price
L230[10:29:31] <Izzy> you could get a pretty nice car for that sort of money
L231[10:29:49] <Izzy> not quite enough for a swift without mate's rates but you could totally get a cute little 323

L236[10:32:27] <ff​_66> for 1 500€ ? i think the "nice car" would be "nice sh*t" as a "nice car" would cost 20 times more money
L237[10:32:49] <Izzy> I was going off overall price
L238[10:33:53] <Izzy> 3.3kAUD will get you a reasonably well kept example of a late 90s-early 2000s small car

L244[10:36:02] <ff​_66> and the fact they can't imagine paying one part per month ?
L245[10:36:37] <ff​_66> the 500€ CPU can be bought later this year and i can pay half its price
L246[10:36:43] <Izzy> give me a vehicle that weighs as little as possible with the smallest practical engine :3

L256[10:40:13] <Izzy> statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
L257[10:41:44] <Amanda> Nah, that's not injustice, ff. I highly doubt you know the specifics of your parents financial situation
L258[10:42:41] <ff​_66> it is, they can perfectly do it with 400€ per month
L259[10:43:02] <ff​_66> * left per month
L260[10:43:38] <ff​_66> the most expensive part is the CPU and the price will go down and my money can cut it's price in half
L261[10:44:49] <Izzy> it's a lot of money either way
L262[10:45:15] <Izzy> that money could be saved until you can get the whole thing, for example, at which point you'd be able to get something better
L263[10:45:39] <Izzy> or, eventually savings and the price of the thing will meet as the price goes down
L264[10:45:59] <Izzy> you're young. touch grass some time.

L266[10:46:30] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> that money could be saved until you can get the whole thing…
L267[10:46:31] <ff​_66> at which point the whole PC would have to be rethinked as 15th gen would not be optimal anymore
L268[10:46:40] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> climb a tree
L269[10:46:40] <ff​_66> ok, i'll do it
L270[10:46:46] <Izzy> right, you'd have the money for Nth gen then
L271[10:46:54] <Izzy> where N is whatever's current
L272[10:47:15] <Izzy> so you'd have an upgrade compared to your plans
L273[10:47:17] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> you're young. touch grass some time.
L274[10:47:17] <ff​_66> i would like to work, legally i can, but i doubt anyone will engage me
L275[10:47:44] <Izzy> no I meant, go play outside
L276[10:48:00] <Izzy> I mean that genuinely, it'll be a lot harder when you're older. enjoy it.
L277[10:48:06] <Izzy> gets real hard to make friends after school too.
L278[10:48:29] <Forec​aster> This is true
L279[10:48:39] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> or, eventually savings and the price of the thing will meet…
L280[10:48:39] <ff​_66> they don't have savings as they prefer buying things for themselves
L281[10:48:39] <ff​_66> i don't want to get any clothes and they say i'm not saving money
L282[10:48:50] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> gets real hard to make friends after school too.
L283[10:48:51] <ff​_66> i've got friends already
L284[10:50:58] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> so you'd have an upgrade compared to your plans
L285[10:50:58] <ff​_66> let's say i'll get enough savings for 17th gen, but the 17th gen is the last gen for LGA1851. i would not buy since i wouldn't have upgrades after that. the next gen though would be ok, but i would need one more year and maybe it will be DDR6, maybe SATA won't exist anymore etc... so i would need even more money
L286[10:52:22] <ff​_66> i. can. buy. now. they. just. want. to be. always. right. except. that's. wrong.
L287[10:53:11] <Forec​aster> just because you want it doesn't mean they have to give it to you, regardless of if you're right or not
L288[10:53:43] <Amanda> That too
L289[10:53:57] <ff​_66> yes, but they don't know the principles of the society. "Pay more, gain less"
L290[10:54:25] <ff​_66> the more they wait, the more difficult it'll become to buy a futureproofed PC
L291[10:54:49] <Forec​aster> eventually it'll stop being their problem when you're old enough to pay for it yourself
L292[10:55:02] <Forec​aster> at which point they'll have spent nothing 🙂
L293[10:55:10] <Izzy> (ideal outcome)
L294[10:55:33] <Forec​aster> also there is no such thing as a futureproof pc

L297[10:55:47] <ff​_66> i'll make 8 years of studies + 2 years left of high school. that's a f*cking decade
L298[10:55:59] <Forec​aster> I did say "eventually"
L299[10:56:01] <Izzy> just fit for purpose and not fit for purpose
L300[10:56:40] <ff​_66> i can sure work to gain... 100€ per month
L301[10:57:15] <ff​_66> in 14 months, everything will have changed and i'll have to pay even more
L302[10:58:10] <Izzy> mmmh, or less for the same thing
L303[10:58:13] <Forec​aster> the world is a cruel, cruel place
L304[10:58:16] <ff​_66> and 100€ per month is optimistic
L305[10:58:32] <Forec​aster> I just found an empty python file named `sup`
L306[10:58:38] <Forec​aster> I do not remember why I made that...
L307[10:58:39] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> mmmh, or less for the same thing
L308[10:58:39] <ff​_66> same thing is not always good
L309[10:58:50] <Izzy> but if you're planning it now then it's fit for purpose
L310[10:58:59] <Amanda> Perfect is the enemy of good
L311[10:59:10] <Izzy> that won't change - well, unless intel blows up more chips, I guess
L312[11:00:00] <ff​_66> and if i work for 100€ per month while i'm studying then i can just throw away my 1650 and get a 5070
L313[11:00:34] <Forec​aster> just wait until you have to earn money to buy cool stuff *and* pay for living expenses also
L314[11:00:36] <Forec​aster> you'll love it
L315[11:00:36] <ff​_66> or maybe 860, it depends on when i get the GPU
L316[11:00:42] <ff​_66> * 8060, it depends on when i get the GPU
L317[11:01:03] <Izzy> Forecaster: it almost makes me wish I could go back

L319[11:01:22] <ff​_66> if i'm studying my parents would suely still pay me a bit for this purpose
L320[11:01:22] <Izzy> but then I'd have to give up my motor vehicle addiction and that will never do
L321[11:01:47] <Izzy> and stop buying random cute things from aliexpress

L346[11:08:48] <ff​_66> POV : Mekasuit
L347[11:10:59] <Forec​aster> bah, I didn't make a requirements.txt for this project...
L348[11:13:22] <ff​_66> also i say things about my parents but for example they say "you only want to play, play, play" except :
L349[11:13:23] <ff​_66> - when i'm working on something they don't see it
L350[11:13:23] <ff​_66> - when i'm working and they see it they say nothing not because they don't understand but because they don't think it will be a huge project that could maybe change my life... (example : hacking a clculator while complying with the frenc regulations)
L351[11:13:36] <ff​_66> * calculator while complying with the french regulations)
L352[11:16:56] <ff​_66> that hack , if successful, could either allow me to sell it, and maybe live from it
L353[11:17:25] <ff​_66> or make casio pay me for not sell that if they don't want that hack

L384[11:48:13] <Forec​aster> yep
L385[11:48:23] <Forec​aster> depends what you're weighing though
L386[11:48:41] <ff​_66> myself ?
L387[11:49:03] <Forec​aster> then no
L388[11:49:23] <ff​_66> it stays good to round down sometimes :)
L389[11:50:06] <ff​_66> and what about 100g of sugar ?
L390[11:50:10] <Izzy> it would make a big difference to me!
L391[11:50:19] <Izzy> gaining 100g is a big deal
L392[11:50:22] <Forec​aster> you're supposed to be sleeping

L394[11:51:31] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> gaining 100g is a big deal

L401[12:18:29] <Forec​aster> ...
L402[12:18:47] <ff​_66> yes it's what you think
L403[12:19:03] <ff​_66> oh no a second one arrived
L404[12:27:50] <Forec​aster> https://discordembeds.pc-logix.com/live/1729859269673.jpg
L405[12:27:50] <Forec​aster> What...
L406[12:28:48] <Kristo​pher38> what
L407[12:30:44] <Forec​aster> I've never had a python library cause a popup before...
L408[12:32:39] <Forec​aster> well, it's a good thing I was going to switch to an html interface anyway
L409[12:48:24] <Forec​aster> but that'll probably be a task for next week
L410[12:50:18] <ff​_66> anyone know any SH4 decompiler ?
L411[12:50:35] <ff​_66> or at least disassembler ?
L412[12:51:42] <ff​_66> i want to make a legal custom firmware for my calculator which could potentially get better performance and battery life
L413[12:53:45] <ff​_66> theoretically doable but i need first to figure out how does the normal OS accesses the keyboard, the screen, the ports and how it starts up...
L414[12:57:14] <ff​_66> i know where the code is, but i don't even know... where it starts
L415[12:57:29] <ff​_66> also another reason
L416[12:58:38] <Redston​eParkour> sh4?
L417[12:58:49] <Redston​eParkour> what calculator are you using?
L418[13:03:10] <Forec​aster> have you tried googling it?
L419[13:05:22] <Corded> > <Redston​eParkour> sh4?
L420[13:05:23] <ff​_66> yes, the same processor as in the Sega Dreamcast, yes
L421[13:05:39] <Corded> > <Redston​eParkour> what calculator are you using?
L422[13:05:39] <ff​_66> a Casio Graph 35+e II
L423[13:05:43] <Redston​eParkour> oh its casio
L424[13:06:04] <Corded> > <Forec​aster> have you tried googling it?
L425[13:06:05] <ff​_66> yes but they are all pretty... experimental
L426[13:06:42] <ff​_66> i've got the official dev kit (yes you can download it apparently) but it's got no disassembler
L427[13:07:01] <ff​_66> unless you're debugging YOUR application, not the OS itself
L428[13:07:19] <Redston​eParkour> well
L429[13:07:39] <Corded> > <Redston​eParkour> oh its casio
L430[13:07:39] <ff​_66> TI have better screens, but Casio have literal game consoles inside
L431[13:07:58] <ff​_66> on a poor monochrome low-res screen
L432[13:08:15] <Redston​eParkour> you
L433[13:08:23] <Redston​eParkour> you're asking for a disassembler?*
L434[13:08:50] <ff​_66> yes to see how the OS works and then build a custom OS out of my resulting knowledge
L435[13:09:20] <Redston​eParkour> there's binutils for SH4
L436[13:09:24] <Redston​eParkour> https://git.planet-casio.com/Lephenixnoir/sh-elf-binutils
L437[13:09:34] <ff​_66> potentially with Wi-Fi but still legal
L438[13:09:53] <Corded> > <Redston​eParkour> https://git.planet-casio.com/Lephenixnoir/sh-elf-binutils
L439[13:09:53] <ff​_66> thanks
L440[13:12:27] <ff​_66> but... what command is for disassembling ? i never really used these tools outside of an IDE...
L441[13:14:29] <Redston​eParkour> seems like you use `objdump` for that
L442[13:14:42] <ff​_66> oh.
L443[13:58:15] <ff​_66> ummm Izzy ? You said that i should get the highest memory quantity right ? what if i just pick 64GB instad of 96GB ? I would have much more GB/€...
L444[14:01:41] <stephanj> what do you want to do?
L445[14:01:56] <stephanj> normally even 32GB is more than enough, you can always upgrade later
L446[14:04:10] <ff​_66> i want to play BeamNG.drive and get a futureproofed build... but not overkill !
L447[14:04:24] <ff​_66> ideally 6400MT/s
L448[14:05:35] <ff​_66> half of the budget is spent on currently highly demanded products, but the RAM is still a quarter of the total price of the PC
L449[14:06:56] <stephanj> my advice is unless you have unlimited budget, go reasonable. 16GB? for a new build is baseline, one step above is 32GB, more than enough. 64 is like run two firefox instances with 200+ video tabs open, minecraft with 16gb memory alloc and another big game next to it.
L450[14:07:16] <stephanj> for what? 200+€ more? 96GB... you are not gonna utlize in todays time
L451[14:07:31] <ff​_66> ok fine 64GB
L452[14:07:41] <ff​_66> maybe 4x16GB ?
L453[14:07:56] <stephanj> maybe go 2x 16 and then stick in another 2x 16 as needed
L454[14:08:04] <ff​_66> or should I use 2x32GB ?
L455[14:08:27] <stephanj> from my experience you best utilize all slots if best performance.
L456[14:08:36] <stephanj> but not f.e. 2x32 and 2x16
L457[14:09:09] <stephanj> have a look at the prices mostly
L458[14:09:35] <stephanj> also remember 24/48GB is a fairly new memory size format
L459[14:17:15] <Kristo​pher38> Get 2x16, 64gig is overkill
L460[14:19:20] <ff​_66> well, 48GB for 160€ seems good
L461[14:19:32] <ff​_66> 7600MT/s
L462[14:19:44] <ff​_66> +RGB (who cares)
L463[14:20:42] <ff​_66> 9.5ns of FWL
L464[14:21:51] <ff​_66> the only downside is that to run that fast it requires higher voltages than the recommended max of 1.4V
L465[14:28:07] <ff​_66> well, with the worst interests you could get for a loan, you could certainly do 240€ in 4x with my build, which is... completely ok
L466[14:32:08] <ff​_66> i can perfectly get half of the PC for xmas
L467[14:33:45] <ff​_66> hummmm... what about the PSU ? i consume a max of 510W and i will buy a 850W 80+ Platinum PSU but...is 1000W Overkill or Futureproof ?
L468[14:38:36] <Corded> > <Forec​aster>
L469[14:38:36] <Spider ​EveryOS> Can you downgrade to a version from before it was paywalled? "has gone pro" seems to imply that it was once free
L470[14:42:54] <Forec​aster> Yeah
L471[14:43:04] <Forec​aster> This was introduced in version 5
L472[14:43:43] <Forec​aster> I don't really like the library much anyway nowadays
L473[14:44:08] <Forec​aster> It's great if you need a quick and dirty gui with next to no effort though
L474[15:11:49] <S​3> @ff_66Generally, you want your continuous power output to be about 50% of the load of the power supply. You want the power supply to obviously put out more power than your peak power output.
L475[15:12:21] <S​3> So if you think that if you're running your machine hard at 400 watts for 8 hours at a time gaming, you probably want an 800/850W PSU
L476[15:12:36] <S​3> Note that 400 wouldn't be your maximum you'd ever pull
L477[15:13:19] <S​3> The reason for this has to do with not PC PSUs but just the physics of power supply design in general and where efficiency and saturation generally lies.
L478[15:14:59] <S​3> It's the same thing for like audio equipment. I have 500W continuous power rated speakers, I'm using a 1KW amplifier output for them.
L479[15:16:00] <S​3> I could run my amo at about 50% all day without ever worrying about damaging the speakers, and honestly that's pretty loud for those speakers with the impedence they have.

L510[21:31:40] <Ocawes​ome101> @ff_66 for what it's worth, I built a PC with a last gen Ryzen and I don't see myself upgrading for a decade or more with the kind of stuff I do. (Unless BeamNG gets more demanding. I would upgrade for that.)
L511[21:31:50] <Ocawes​ome101> (5800X3D)

L513[21:32:12] <Ocawes​ome101> Small, light, slow but zippy, stickshift, handles great
L514[21:32:25] <Izzy> yeees
L515[21:35:32] <Corded> > <Ocawes​ome101> @ff_66 for what it's worth, I built a PC with a last gen Ry…
L516[21:35:32] <ff​_66> Computers are evolving fast. 10 years ago you had no RTX and AI stuff wasn't everywhere
L517[21:35:34] <Ocawes​ome101> As much as I loved my Focus, the Fit is a better car
L518[21:35:46] <Ocawes​ome101> ff_66: I don't use ray tracing or AI
L519[21:35:52] <Izzy> having a vehicle you don't enjoy seems existentially depressing to me
L520[21:36:01] <Izzy> if you have a vehicle at all you likely *need* one
L521[21:36:23] <Izzy> being forced to drive something boring sounds soul-crushing
L522[21:36:28] <Ocawes​ome101> Real
L523[21:36:57] <Corded> > <Ocawes​ome101> ff_66: I don't use ray tracing or AI
L524[21:36:58] <ff​_66> Still, windows is only 30 years old and the taskbar 20 for example
L525[21:37:17] <ff​_66> Oh wait add 10 to both
L526[21:37:25] <Ocawes​ome101> That's one of the reasons I want my next car to be an Aptera, because it's quirky. the Fit should last long enough for them to be in production
L527[21:37:34] <Izzy> last computer lasted 10 years. this computer will last 10 years (also 5800X3D).
L528[21:38:07] <Ocawes​ome101> Yeah consider how usable a machine from 2014 is today, compared to how usable something from 2004 was in 2014
L529[21:38:10] <Izzy> I'm pretty happy with the Swift and see no compelling reason to replace it, I'll probably just keep it on the road indefinitely until something I want more comes along
L530[21:38:28] <Ocawes​ome101> ... then compare that to how usable something from 1994 was in 2004
L531[21:39:04] <Izzy> moore's law is long dead
L532[21:39:13] <Ocawes​ome101> I want the Fit to last 200k miles for me. It has 127k currently and since its a Honda I think I'll have no trouble with that
L533[21:39:29] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> last computer lasted 10 years. this computer will last 10 y…
L534[21:39:29] <ff​_66> Mine has been spoiled. It was OC capable, but has never been used like so. It just never heated above 50°c with no maintenance or cleaning. I wish i could go back.
L535[21:39:33] <Ocawes​ome101> So long as it doesn't start rusting.
L536[21:39:37] <Izzy> swift's got uhhh 310, 315kkm on it
L537[21:40:04] <Izzy> https://uranus.shadowkat.net/tmp/0e12.jpg
L538[21:40:05] <Ocawes​ome101> So about 194k miles. Not bad
L539[21:40:38] <Izzy> it's fun. my grandad has very mixed feelings about being in the car with me
L540[21:40:42] <Ocawes​ome101> I'm especially pleased because I have the 2nd gen Fit (2009), which is reportedly the best driver's car
L541[21:40:54] <Ocawes​ome101> Hahahaha so does everyone I drive around. Though I've been told I'm a good driver
L542[21:41:16] <Izzy> it's just my grandad in my case
L543[21:41:23] <Izzy> I'm used to bikes so I take corners fast
L544[21:41:43] <Izzy> got those fancy low-profile tires, the swift can handle it
L545[21:42:40] <Ocawes​ome101> Fast corners are fun
L546[21:42:51] <Ocawes​ome101> Sadly in this part of the Midwest its mostly straight flat roads
L547[21:42:59] <Corded> > <Ocawes​ome101> Fast corners are fun
L548[21:42:59] <ff​_66> Especially when you lose traction
L549[21:43:08] <Ocawes​ome101> Not so much in a real car
L550[21:43:32] <Izzy> upside of this part of australia: lots of ... hill roads
L551[21:43:38] <ff​_66> It depends on the speed you're talking about
L552[21:43:55] <Izzy> https://uranus.shadowkat.net/tmp/cd52.jpg
L553[21:44:15] <ff​_66> 200kph : you're dead on most roads
L554[21:44:34] <Izzy> bold of you to assume any of my vehicles can do 200
L555[21:44:41] <Izzy> actually the swift might be able to
L556[21:45:00] <Izzy> but the VT250 tops out at 180 and the ZZR250 160, on paper. so lower in practice.
L557[21:45:26] <Izzy> no I engage in the slightly deranged behaviour of sticking to exactly the speed limit all the time
L558[21:45:32] <ff​_66> Well in 2012 a minivan was able to easily reach 190 sooooo
L559[21:46:49] <ff​_66> If a 2.0L diesel can beat a swift then...
L560[21:47:05] <Izzy> the 2005 swift has a 1.5 NA engine :)
L561[21:47:14] <Izzy> makes about 100hp
L562[21:47:30] <ff​_66> And i'm not talking about the V6 :)
L563[21:48:03] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> makes about 100hp
L564[21:48:03] <ff​_66> The diesel 2L engine does twice the power in a twice as big car
L565[21:48:14] <Izzy> I think you're misunderstanding the appeal of small vehicles
L566[21:48:35] <Izzy> going fast is generally secondary to their handling
L567[21:48:38] <Ocawes​ome101> A slow small car is pretty much the most fun you can have, hands down
L568[21:48:47] <Ocawes​ome101> As long as it handles well enough
L569[21:48:50] <Izzy> Ocawesome101: a slow small bike is better
L570[21:48:58] <ff​_66> Downsizing engines is nad though
L571[21:49:01] <Ocawes​ome101> Cars are safer
L572[21:49:06] <ff​_66> Bad*
L573[21:49:08] <Izzy> give me that 14kRPM redline
L574[21:49:14] <Ocawes​ome101> Can't argue with that
L575[21:49:20] <Izzy> throwing it around corners
L576[21:49:33] <Izzy> super responsive throttle
L577[21:49:34] <Ocawes​ome101> my Fit's 1.5L engine makes ~115hp supposedly
L578[21:49:41] <Corded> > <Iz​zy> give me that 14kRPM redline
L579[21:49:41] <ff​_66> It will sound like a b1cuum cleaner, who will buy that ?
L580[21:49:50] <Izzy> me! give me the angry swarm of bees
L581[21:49:56] <Ocawes​ome101> Believe it or not there are people who like it
L582[21:49:57] <ff​_66> Vacuum*
L583[21:50:09] <Ocawes​ome101> I think 4 cylinders in general _can_ sound really good
L584[21:50:26] <ff​_66> 6 cynliders are the best
L585[21:50:29] <Ocawes​ome101> i've liked both of the ones i've driven. Subarus are a whole different beast and sound heavenly
L586[21:50:44] <Ocawes​ome101> V6's have an unpleasant rasp at higher revs in a lot of cases
L587[21:51:06] <Ocawes​ome101> I believe e.g. the Fiero v6 can sound pretty good though
L588[21:51:06] <ff​_66> You have the least amount of vibrations though
L589[21:51:11] <Ocawes​ome101> not in a v6
L590[21:51:15] <Ocawes​ome101> a straight six, yes
L591[21:51:26] <Ocawes​ome101> subaru flat-4's are also naturally balanced and very very smooth

L612[22:16:29] <Izzy> have you tried doing a perfect clutchless shift in a sequential transmission?
L613[22:17:29] <Izzy> where I used to work was on a road off an awful intersection, and I got Quite Good at going second, third, fourth, fifth without using the clutch
L614[22:17:48] <Izzy> was that or get run over by a truck :p
L615[22:18:37] <Ocawes​ome101> never driven a sequential

L619[22:21:49] <Izzy> few Golfs too
L620[22:22:43] <Ocawes​ome101> DCT != sequential i thought
L621[22:22:51] <Izzy> DCT is two sequentials welded together
L622[22:23:22] <Izzy> clutchless shifting in a normal sequential is an acquired skill, but the default in a DCT
L623[22:23:34] <Izzy> whole point of the DCT in the first place
L624[22:24:00] <Ocawes​ome101> DCTs are also usually computer controlled, no?
L625[22:24:06] <Izzy> generally yeah
L626[22:24:26] <Izzy> with a normal sequential you have to blip up the throttle a bit then let it off entirely, and while the drivetrain has no load on it you can shift
L627[22:29:50] <Ocawes​ome101> that matches my impression
L628[22:52:13] <Corded> > <Ocawes​ome101> DCTs are also usually computer controlled, no?
