00:09 zhanx- Good
00:35 rue_house descent
00:35 rue_house I need one of those
00:35 y93563156 hands rue a decent
00:53 rue_house this is a descent meal, how deep am I going?
00:53 zhanx- Deep
00:53 zhanx- The rabbit holes is deep
00:53 any93563156 until about 1.47 minutes before you stp feeling hungry
01:04 any93563156 i wish my ears would stp ringing
01:11 any93563156 I SAID I WISH MY EARS WOULD STOP RINGING
01:12 any93563156 THERE, I HEARD THAT
06:30 any67230247 <cough>
12:24 any77790931 "the first hdd weighed over a ton, and stored 5 megabytes"
12:31 any77790931 so a GB would have been 200 tons, and a TB would weigh a whopping 200,000 tons
12:36 rue_bed rly?
12:36 rue_bed how big was the blooming drum?
12:37 any77790931 dunno, i've read of 18inch dia
12:37 any77790931 the drums for Colossus the movie looked like 18 inch too
12:37 rue_bed dosn't seem to add up
12:38 any77790931 then you don't know IBM, they put everything in a huge steel cabinet 5ft tall, 6ft long, 4ft wide
12:38 rue_bed hehe
12:39 any77790931 there were 2 at the scrap yd a few yrs ago, one had TWO floppy drives in it, one had some 12 inch hdd platters
12:39 rue_bed I'm surprised thats not worth money as historical
12:40 any77790931 prolly was, but i didn't have the tools on me to remove them, and didn't wanna be laughed at for going back with tools to get hdds i couldn't use
12:40 rue_bed I was told that a lady emptied a guys basement and the recycling shop called her back cause the lot had an origional apple that they sold for $220000 and they wanted to give her half
12:40 y77790931
12:41 any77790931 so how much willy ou pay me for the IBM 10" floppies and the mechanical floppy changer drive?
12:41 rue_bed Yesterday I noticed I have an amiga and commidore power supply I should list on ebay
12:44 any77790931 see? i got what i could from the cabinets, and cannot sellt hem
12:44 any77790931 so ging back for the hdds would have been foolish
12:45 rue_bed ok
12:47 any77790931 it would be like making another pcb driller/router , anyone talking about it would be laughing at me for the pink string again, that would be all the value in the whole machine, it's comedy
12:48 rue_bed nyet is russian for no?
12:48 y77790931
12:52 any77790931 steel should be cool, air temp is up to 91F again, maybe i can flip the short panel for weldup tonight
12:54 rue_house know anything of Latvia?
13:37 any77790931 not really
13:37 any77790931 flipped it, welded the other side, ceiling is radiatingheat like a electric oven
13:44 rue_house hmm
13:44 rue_house you dont have an attic do you?
13:50 any77790931 lil room over the walkin closet of the den
13:50 any77790931 that's it
13:50 any77790931 i cannot finish the house, the construction bothers the dogs, they bark, i goto jail
13:57 any77790931 that's the beauty of a boat: i can go where there are no gods
13:58 any77790931 i can open a door, i can run a fan, i can sneeze, i can water the garden, i can weed the garden, without the felony crime of mental cruelty to an animal,, and i don't haveto listen to them bark either
14:03 any77790931 and don't need to carry a gun in case one gets thru the fences
14:03 any77790931 or gets dropped over the fence
14:12 zhanx looking at Thermoelectric Generators and there is so much fake crap on the internet about free power its crazy
14:13 any77790931 yeas
14:14 zhanx look my motor powers my generator that powers the motor and 3 100 watt light bulbs, all closed loop, (ignore that power cord)
14:15 any77790931 power it all (for 200ms due to inertia of the genny rotor spinning)
14:15 zhanx you can see a power cord in the video
14:15 any77790931 k
14:15 zhanx its that fake
14:16 any77790931 k
14:38 zhanx free energy wind turbine!
14:40 zhanx- https://youtu.be/ljKX9Om7Z4s
14:40 zhanx and then there is that.
14:41 zhanx watch it about 1:25 into it
14:41 any77790931 yanno RifRaf put up a wind turbine? need his logs of windspeed and power output
14:44 zhanx i plan on doing a couple of turbines also
14:45 zhanx 3 with a nice battery bank should be enough for our needs
14:45 zhanx couple of solar cells and maybe hydro power as back up
14:46 any77790931 sounds great
14:46 zhanx the solar will suck in the winter up here along with the hydro
14:46 zhanx but its super windy in the winter
14:47 any77790931 i figured i could use my lil creek as part time power generator, and full time cooling water and garden water, cause of gods i cannot do anything with it
14:47 any77790931 thermal solar would have worked great with the creek on the cold side of the system
14:47 zhanx true
14:49 zhanx battery management i still haven't figured out
14:50 any77790931 i made 90% of a significant dam up here, the pond would have been ~30ft on a side triangular, 10ft deep
14:51 any77790931 make 160vdc with power factor controler, feed to switchers for each battery
14:51 zhanx nice
14:51 zhanx and it stays warm down there so freezing is not much of an issue
14:52 any77790931 use the 160 directly thru a bulk switcher to charge gobs of current, the lil switchers top off each batery separately
14:53 any77790931 the hard part will be junking a battery that sorta still works but is no longer cost effective
14:54 zhanx yea, batteries is gonna cost
14:54 zhanx thought about junkyard electric vehicle packs
14:54 any77790931 i figure i will need to set aside $$ (one battery worth) per month to stay ahead of the deterioration,, figure 500 charge-discharge for a "marine battery" if you take good care of them
14:55 zhanx Marine D8's can take 1500+ plus cycles but are 300 each
14:55 any77790931 if you cycle them hard, figure 100 cycles
14:55 zhanx they are used in large vessels and used hard
14:55 any77790931 D8 sn't a normal battery, and i cannot get them around here, or truck D8
14:56 any77790931 biggest i can get is group 24 or 27
14:56 zhanx i figure 4 of them
14:56 zhanx ok afk for a bit
14:57 any77790931 95F-ish now
15:51 any77790931 ifigotobednow,maybeitwillbe75Fwheniwakeup,~11pm,backtoworkoutsideatmidnight
17:23 zhanx i haven't see RifRif on in a while
