[20:59:26] <AzumaHazuki> one nice thing about gentoo is you can cut a lot of that out

[20:47:42] <halibut> a2ps has various options for pretty-printing code, and putting multiple pages of text on a single page, which tends to be handy since a lot of time straight text files are not well suited to the size of a page.
[20:46:49] <halibut> Bytram: I do not frequently print text files, but have found a2ps handy. ``a2ps <file>'' should print a text file. ``a2ps -B <file>'' should print with less extra stuff around. ``a2ps -o output.ps <file>'' should create a PostScript file so you can see what it would look like, and view/print from some PS/PDF viewing program.

[17:49:42] <FatPhil> the tracker page didn't work for me at all, even with all the js bumrape enabled.
[17:08:19] <Sulla> 12pm to 8pm is the launch window
[17:07:35] <Sulla> currenlty they are unchaining the flaps
[17:06:54] <Sulla> SN15 could be today
[17:04:40] <Sulla> Alaska was the same way and was always depressing
[17:02:13] <Runaway1956> Holy shit, Sulla - around here an 80 ft tree seems huge
[16:52:50] <Sulla> Where is it supposed to drop? any projection yet. i assume odds are it will drop in the pacific
[16:52:31] <boru> Which it might do at the weekend, if I'm not mistaken.
[16:51:00] <boru> Unless that Chinese rocket body deorbits and bombs the launch site.
[16:50:40] <boru> Next week, isn't it?
[16:49:39] <Sulla> when is the SN15 test
[16:49:07] <boru> It bothers me greatly when I see old growth in log piles.
[16:48:44] <boru> Old growth supports an entire ecosystem, rather than just provide shade to a few flora and fauna.
[16:48:38] <Sulla> Yeah
[16:48:11] <boru> Yeah, felling old growth is really messed up. People who know nothing about forestry think replanting is adequately effective.
[16:21:50] <Sulla> If a tree is sick i get it
[16:21:06] <Sulla> I really like old trees
[16:20:59] <Sulla> This boomer isn't. Some young californians moved in though and ripped out three massive trees because they were shading a future organic garden.
[16:20:09] <chromas> Are they Californians?
[16:18:27] <Sulla> Yeah
[16:18:17] <chromas> Is it a healthy tree?
[16:17:49] <Sulla> "It could fall on my house!"
[16:17:36] <Sulla> Sequoia has to have like a 8ft diameter
[16:17:18] <Sulla> both like 200+ft
[16:17:12] <Sulla> this boomer in particular has been lobbying complaints to the local govt to have my sequoia and doug fir removed
[16:16:44] <Sulla> Boomers man. probably hates fireplace smoke so he told them they have to get rid of it so some neighbor can't use it and smell up near his house
[16:15:50] <chromas> Why give away for free what you can pay someone else to turn into trash?
[16:15:39] <Sulla> muh liability means they will just take it to a yard debris place
[16:15:18] <Sulla> What can't be chipped they are loading onto a truck, i asked if i could get some for firewood but was told no
[16:14:04] <chromas> Where are they putting the wood?
[16:05:06] <Sulla> Watching currenlty as they cut down this 200 foot fir
[16:04:15] <Sulla> Boomers afraid that "THEY MIGHT FALL ON ME" and millennials hate them for blocking the light to their organic garden
[16:03:45] <Sulla> Boomers and millennials keep moving into my neighborhood and genociding all the big old trees

[15:57:43] <progo> I am aware of the general public Internet surveillance but I don't spend time worrying about it for myself
[15:57:32] <boru> Truly dystopian stuff.
[15:57:05] <progo> I've been aware of the shadow google and facebook profiles for years, yep
[15:57:03] <boru> But then the UK left the EU, so they're exempt from it again.
[15:56:47] <boru> Thankfully, the GDPR put a stop of that.
[15:56:37] <boru> The UK is a prime example of this sort of thing. Every company requires an email address for you to sign up. This is essentially a primary key for cross referencing service that you had signed up for.
[15:55:15] <boru> And people think some of these services are free...
[15:55:03] <boru> FAGMAN all buy or trade one another's data, as well as from several other sources.
[15:54:29] <boru> Friends don't let friends use facebook. Or whatsapp for that matter.
[15:53:58] <boru> I've never had an account on any social media platform, however, something that might interest you are things zuckerberg was questioned about during the last congress testimony: shadow profiles. Even if you don't have an account, they've aggregated enough data about other people to no only know you exist, but they've also worked out numerous facts about you, all without your consent.

[13:35:03] <Bytram> This can't be this difficult? I want to print a plain ASCII text file (though I'd love if it worked with UNICODE/UTF-8). WAY WAY back when, I had a Laserjet 2P. Constructed some batch programs to copy specially-crafted text files (reset, set font face / font size / orientation / etc.) and then the file I wanted to print straight to the printer port. Worked like a champ! Later, on windows (XP / 7-PRO), with USB-connected Brother laser

[04:39:49] <Sulla> ineresting ill definitly have to do that
[04:38:37] <c0lo> You can try a DIY conductive paint with white glue as a the suspension/gluing medium. It's so cheap you can experiment on scraps of of pcb before going down on your problem. If it works, you can use a bit of epoxy on top of that to support it mechanically.
[04:35:08] <Sulla> i have a feeling that no matter what i get it wont work and will have needed the other one

[04:31:52] <Sulla> i think for my situation, i just need anything conductive that will flow and not get wreked by surface tension
[04:31:10] <Sulla> interesting
[04:30:46] <c0lo> If you use an epoxy with a spray on catalyst for suspending the particles, you can have strong "soldered" joins too.
[04:28:24] <c0lo> The most used, graphite in dense suspension. Better result with silver flakes (get them from copper in silver nitrate - search silver tree).
[04:27:28] <Sulla> down to just right enter and function key
[04:27:18] <Sulla> going to have too, seems interesting in general

[04:17:09] <Sulla> hm
[04:16:02] <c0lo> You need a bit of conductive epoxy to the wire, otherwise the bond will fail. Conductive ink is good for flat surfaces.
[04:14:22] <Sulla> could i draw conductive ink to a pre-solderd wire?
[04:14:05] <c0lo> Can't solder on conductive ink.
[04:12:38] <Sulla> i think the ink you spoke of would work
[04:12:01] <Sulla> hot glue it is
[04:11:32] <Sulla> wish i had some high temp epoxy
[04:11:09] <c0lo> TIL, kids no worky in DYI keyboards.
[04:10:56] <Sulla> got space working. its a surface tension issue. used copper tape on either side to make a bridge that would allow the hole to be touched
[04:10:31] <Sulla> mm ,,,,,,
[03:57:49] <Sulla> i had it working briefly but then one of ht ekids hit the table and now it no more worky
[03:56:12] <c0lo> Nasty. Yeah, wire seems to be the only solution. If you aren't passing large currents, using a conductive ink may be a solution for interrupted traces, but not at the terminal holes.
[03:55:06] <Sulla> on other pcbs i have this would have been much easier as i can see where all the traces go as they are writtn, this one not so much
[03:53:49] <Sulla> so i thin i just need to pull power from the previous switch, if its like the simple diagrams online
[03:53:32] <Sulla> its the non-diode side
[03:53:27] <Sulla> yeah
