02:40 AM rue_mohr: got it
02:51 AM rue_mohr: https://twitter.com/RueNahcMohr/status/1637356794715717632
06:02 AM Tom_L: cool
06:47 AM polprog: i found my first street lithium
10:49 AM aandrew: "street lithium" lol
10:58 AM rue_mohr: :]
12:03 PM rue_mohr: tell me about markdown...
03:14 PM rue_mohr: so I need to get to the upgrade for the shop file server
03:27 PM polprog: im using pandoc for my markdown
03:27 PM polprog: pandoc or markdown_py
03:30 PM polprog: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/python3-markdown the latter also available via pip
03:30 PM rue_mohr: wait
03:30 PM rue_mohr: you use a language to write a language that writes html...
03:30 PM polprog: no markdown_py is a program
03:30 PM polprog: takes .md emits .html
03:30 PM rue_mohr: oh oh
03:31 PM rue_mohr: k, I need to get in with md who
03:31 PM rue_mohr: salfdjkkasjdf
03:31 PM polprog: i guess you can use it as a python module for something
03:31 PM rue_mohr: k, I need to get in with md tho
03:31 PM polprog: if you can write a github readme then you can write markdown
03:31 PM polprog: https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/
03:31 PM rue_mohr: hmm, people really seem to like that follower ring...
03:31 PM polprog: i think markdown_py uses the basic syntax only
03:31 PM rue_mohr: yea, about writing the github readmes...
03:32 PM polprog: https://polprog.net/rozne1/ircjunk/ts-7250/notatki.md
03:32 PM polprog: this is markdown
03:33 PM polprog: make headings with ===
03:33 PM polprog: or ---
03:33 PM polprog: code by indenting 4 spaces, or wrap around in ` ` or ```multiline```
03:33 PM polprog: well
03:33 PM polprog: https://polprog.net/rozne1/ircjunk/ts-7250/test.md
03:33 PM polprog: this one is well formatted
03:34 PM polprog: and results in https://polprog.net/rozne1/ircjunk/ts-7250/test.html
03:34 PM polprog: also you can just put HTML in to add a title or css styles
03:34 PM polprog: https://polprog.net/rozne1/ircjunk/ebus/ebus.md
03:34 PM polprog: or other html elements
03:34 PM polprog: here i set the image size and background color
03:35 PM polprog: use img { max-width: 100%; } to make them scale nicely (images wider than the window will scale down, smaller will not scale up)
03:36 PM polprog: i like it mostly because the image syntax is easier...
03:36 PM polprog: https://polprog.net/rozne1/ircjunk/ebus/ebus.html
03:44 PM rue_mohr: mmm
03:45 PM rue_mohr: you didn't include the menufacturer ebus circuit example...
03:46 PM rue_mohr: I still like to be able to do formatted editing without having to compile to see the results... hmmmm
03:47 PM rue_mohr: hmmm
03:47 PM rue_mohr: I didn't see how to center text in all that
03:47 PM polprog: with a bit of css for p { .... }
03:47 PM rue_mohr: hmmm
03:47 PM polprog: p { text-align:center; } maybe
03:48 PM Tom_L: but....
03:48 PM Tom_L: https://news.mit.edu/2023/codon-python-based-compiler-achieve-orders-magnitude-speedups-0314
03:48 PM rue_mohr: I need to spend 2 hours on sprayers, and then spend a bunch of time stripping down equipment
03:50 PM polprog: i have to update that ebus log cause i gave up
03:51 PM rue_mohr: hah
03:51 PM polprog: the damn boiler does not respond at all
03:51 PM rue_mohr: but
03:51 PM polprog: i send valid bytes, it doesnt respond
03:51 PM rue_mohr: maybe its screwed up
03:51 PM polprog: maybe, its the third mainboard
03:52 PM rue_mohr: Tom_L, yea, this makes sense, I think there will be more of "wait, this stuff is so horridly inefficient that a 10x speedup via some optimization is easy"
03:52 PM rue_mohr: polprog, was it working after the last new one?
03:52 PM Tom_L: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydTLe4cHsck
03:52 PM rue_mohr: maybe its time to put the mainboard under a microscope and see if its reciever is working ok
03:52 PM polprog: i never tested ebus comms, but probably yes because the manufactures controller was working with it
03:53 PM rue_mohr: guys people are going crazy over my silly tweets
03:53 PM rue_mohr: polprog, so, do some wire spying
03:53 PM Tom_L: isn't that what you wanted?
03:54 PM polprog: rue_mohr: i did, down to the single bits
03:54 PM polprog: the adapter sends correct data
03:54 PM polprog: and levels
03:54 PM polprog: the board does not answer
03:54 PM rue_mohr: Tom_L, I'm just trying to find the people who also know how to do stuff like this
03:54 PM rue_mohr: we are few and far apart
03:54 PM polprog: the og controller does not work it it
03:54 PM polprog: anymore
03:54 PM Tom_L: and you're looking on twitter for that?
03:54 PM Tom_L: good luck
03:54 PM rue_mohr: ok, so maybe the reciever on the mainboard is broken
03:55 PM polprog: we replaced the diaphragm tank in it
03:55 PM Tom_L: those types are followers
03:55 PM polprog: that was the last thing i did with it, should update the file
03:55 PM rue_mohr: Tom_L, well, It looked like a good mechanism to spread word that i exist
03:55 PM rue_mohr: polprog, I bet the serial isn't making it to the input pin on the controller
03:58 PM Tom_L: i lost audio out the back of mine now just the front works
03:58 PM rue_mohr: :] boiler mainboard? heh
03:59 PM rue_mohr: if you work the front connector the switch to the back might come back in
03:59 PM rue_mohr: they usually have a re-route switch
03:59 PM rue_mohr: in the jack on plug-in
03:59 PM rue_mohr: or the solder connection broke, cause wtf they like to smt audio jacks now ugh
03:59 PM rue_mohr: dumb ideas 101
04:00 PM polprog: rue_mohr: likely yes
04:00 PM rue_mohr: hard enough for them to live when done thruhole
04:00 PM rue_mohr: so, the shop fileserver doesn't have SATA
04:00 PM rue_mohr: I found a PCI->sata card tho
04:00 PM rue_mohr: hah
04:01 PM rue_mohr: hopefully its not just a raid card
04:01 PM rue_mohr: ok, 2 hours of sprayer repairs
04:02 PM Tom_L: i don't bother with audio that much anyway
05:06 PM rue_shop4: ok 6 of the repairs need new heads
05:37 PM rue_shop4: ok, lets see if I can use toms former on these!
05:40 PM rue_shop4: hey nice! in the arbour press no less
05:48 PM rue_shop4: :] record time bending tabs with that one!
05:49 PM rue_shop4: I'll do up 6 and see how it goes
06:46 PM Tom_L: work ok?
06:47 PM Tom_L: use a little lube with it
06:53 PM rue_mohr: yea, I wet it with some oil and I was able to take it apart by hand
08:32 PM Tom_L: cool
08:50 PM rue_mohr: I didn't finish assembling the heads, I'll update you if they go togethor ok
08:51 PM Tom_L: you round the tabs a bit anyway don't you?
08:51 PM Tom_L: for the tube
08:51 PM rue_mohr: yup
08:51 PM Tom_L: they should fit ok
08:51 PM rue_mohr: yup
08:52 PM Tom_L: i thought i made 2 of those fixtures but i can't find any here except a test one i screwed up
08:52 PM rue_mohr: I'v learned not to do a whole run with a new, untested process :]
08:52 PM Tom_L: good idea
08:52 PM Tom_L: keep it lubed and it should last a good while
08:53 PM rue_mohr: :)
08:53 PM rue_mohr: its nice to just do it in the arbour press, as upposed to the clamping and hammering we were doing
08:53 PM Tom_L: i don't have a press but the vise did ok
08:55 PM Tom_L: unless maybe i put it with my collection of sample parts
09:04 PM Tom_L: mmm must be one of a kind i guess..
09:04 PM Tom_L: didn't even keep the dimensions
