| 7:00:35 PM | MarshMan | Again
|
| 7:00:57 PM | ameriDroid | Have I mentioned lately how much I hate Windows messing with my workflow? Windows updates... 💢
|
| 7:01:35 PM | MarshMan | With you @ameriDroid
|
| 7:01:39 PM | bp9 | G'day Y'all
|
| 7:01:40 PM | noeman5 | just put a flashing light on the mute buttons
|
| 7:02:02 PM | MarshMan | hey @bp9 long time no see
|
| 7:02:10 PM | bp9 | I love it when @Jeff Weston can't figure out what camera to look at LOL LOL LOL
|
| 7:02:25 PM | bp9 | Hi @MarshMan yeah sorry about that!
|
| 7:02:49 PM | bp9 | Just changed jobs and I was allowed to go home early for Turkey Day Eve 🙂
|
| 7:03:09 PM | MarshMan | Very cool @bp9
|
| 7:03:23 PM | MarshMan | good to "see" you
|
| 7:03:31 PM | bp9 | @MarshMan back to mainframe! Yay!
|
| 7:03:40 PM | MarshMan | Oy!
|
| 7:03:41 PM | ameriDroid | Look what I've been working on...

|
| 7:04:09 PM | MarshMan | Sweet!
|
| 7:04:14 PM | bp9 | OOh nice!
|
| 7:04:30 PM | ameriDroid | That's the cleanest 486 I've ever seen.
|
| 7:04:35 PM | MarshMan | Taking your frustration out on that table @ameriDroid
|
| 7:05:02 PM | MarshMan | Hah! CD-ROM games. Amateurs!
|
| 7:05:15 PM | MarshMan | Floppy or nothing!
|
| 7:05:36 PM | bp9 | @RobbieF and @Jeff Weston what about Starfighter on TRS-80 Model 1 ??
|
| 7:05:41 PM | bp9 | Hmm...?

|
| 7:06:20 PM | Solbu | Tremulous is still available online.
|
| 7:07:33 PM | ameriDroid | Aww man. That 486dx I just pulled won't play it!
|
| 7:08:02 PM | G_Dog1985_ | grr great my echo is going to off when talking about that
|
| 7:08:12 PM | MarshMan | I was gonna say...
|
| 7:08:19 PM | MarshMan | yeah right!
|
| 7:08:28 PM | MarshMan | 😛
|
| 7:08:44 PM | Solbu | This summer i threw away a 233 MHz computer I bought in 1998.
|
| 7:08:59 PM | G_Dog1985_ | My is called computer to
|
| 7:09:03 PM | noeman5 | I still have a WindowsMe disk around. 🙂
|
| 7:09:08 PM | Solbu | I still have the invoice it came with. :-)
|
| 7:10:09 PM | noeman5 | Doom rules!
|
| 7:10:28 PM | bp9 | Solbu, I don't throw away even older computers. I still have a stack of them. Sometimes I use the floppy cables to get my Kaypro 2X running 🙂
|
| 7:10:31 PM | Solbu | https://www.fidonet.org/
|
| 7:10:45 PM | alpeck | I loved SOF. Was nice to come home from work and let off some steam.
|
| 7:11:55 PM | MoeMaravilla | Hello to all
|
| 7:12:10 PM | MarshMan | Hey Moe!
|
| 7:12:39 PM | MoeMaravilla | I still have my Amiga 2000
|
| 7:13:47 PM | bp9 | Moe: Nice! Mine was an Amiga 500.
|
| 7:14:36 PM | ameriDroid | I had every model of Amiga that was commonly available. I had to finally downsize and let them go.
|
| 7:14:52 PM | Solbu | SwitchedToLinux use to say: «Alexa: order Unicorn Meat. Confirm»
|
| 7:14:57 PM | MoeMaravilla | It has not been powered on in 15 years.
|
| 7:15:07 PM | noeman5 | Have my Commodore 64 in storage and an old Silicon Graphics workstation and my old Packard Bell pentium unit. I don't throw things away either.
|
| 7:15:17 PM | ameriDroid | I still have an A2000 with a Video Toaster.
|
| 7:15:34 PM | ameriDroid | And a C64 and Commodore monitor.
|
| 7:15:43 PM | noeman5 | Yuck
|
| 7:15:46 PM | bp9 | Yah my Kaypro blew a capacitor in the power supply when I powered it up for the first time in 15 years.
|
| 7:15:47 PM | bp9 | Sigh
|
| 7:16:20 PM | noeman5 | @bp9 send it @RobbieF he can solder in a new one for you.
|
| 7:16:31 PM | MarshMan | I do not have one
|
| 7:16:34 PM | MoeMaravilla | If you solder better than Robbie... You can fix it.
|
| 7:16:39 PM | bp9 | @noeman5 No need, I already did that LOL
|
| 7:17:03 PM | noeman5 | That flex looks like a hockey puck
|
| 7:17:19 PM | noeman5 | Or a DingDong cake
|
| 7:17:37 PM | MarshMan | Ding Dong Deluxe
|
| 7:17:42 PM | alpeck | If you have a hard to find capacitor you can try to reform it.
|
| 7:17:43 PM | bp9 | or a can of cat food 🙂
|
| 7:18:40 PM | bp9 | alpeck: Not a problem, I replaced the blown tin-film capacitor with a tantalum of similar capacity, and it's been running find ever since.
|
| 7:19:04 PM | ameriDroid | But what if we hate Amazon?
|
| 7:19:11 PM | noeman5 | lol
|
| 7:19:29 PM | alpeck | Reforming is something you would do before you power it up after sitting idle for a long period of time.
|
| 7:19:42 PM | noeman5 | Oh, just what we need, more surveillance!
|
| 7:19:50 PM | MoeMaravilla | Then you make jokes on chat.
|
| 7:20:50 PM | ameriDroid | It's so easy to let Amazon spy on you!
|
| 7:21:05 PM | MarshMan | Takes no time at all
|
| 7:21:06 PM | Solbu | What? it's that hard to configure? ;-)
|
| 7:21:14 PM | MoeMaravilla | Now it knows everything about Robbie.
|
| 7:21:20 PM | noeman5 | And now with Portal, you can let FaceBook spy on you too!
|
| 7:21:24 PM | bp9 | alpeck: How does on reform a capacitor? Massage it? 🙂
|
| 7:21:32 PM | G_Dog1985_ | yes
|
| 7:22:09 PM | alpeck | You have to remove before you try to apply power. Otherwise they will just pop.
|
| 7:22:47 PM | MarshMan | The dog will turn on the Christmas tree
|
| 7:22:53 PM | bp9 | I've been running it on a regular basis without incident.
|
| 7:23:03 PM | noeman5 | Just what I was thinking @MarshMan
|
| 7:23:04 PM | alpeck | Then using and external DC power supply you apply a lower voltage then capacitor rating while watching current.
|
| 7:23:13 PM | MoeMaravilla | Now all employees at Amazon know when Robbie is home.
|
| 7:23:47 PM | alpeck | You should slowly see current reduce as it reforms.
|
| 7:24:00 PM | MarshMan | Alexa set first light to blue and do not say OK
|
| 7:24:23 PM | alpeck | once current stops reducing you step voltage up a bit and repeat.
|
| 7:25:37 PM | alpeck | I would go up in steps of 25% of expected operating voltage.
|
| 7:26:36 PM | alpeck | I would also stop for a minimum of 30 minutes at each voltage once current hasn't decreased any more.
|
| 7:27:15 PM | MarshMan | Thanks @Jeff Weston
|
| 7:27:31 PM | MarshMan | I won't have one of those in my house anyway
|
| 7:27:48 PM | ameriDroid | Same here
|
| 7:27:56 PM | alpeck | Re-install capacitor, turn device on and pray.
|
| 7:27:58 PM | MoeMaravilla | Me either
|
| 7:28:04 PM | noeman5 | Alexa, self-destruct
|
| 7:28:22 PM | ameriDroid | 😆
|
| 7:29:58 PM | bp9 | Thanks alpeck, I'll keep that in mind!
|
| 7:30:42 PM | noeman5 | And Cyber-Monday is coming.
|
| 7:30:47 PM | alpeck | If they haven't dried up this should work.
|
| 7:30:52 PM | MarshMan | Cyber Monday @Jeff Weston
|
| 7:31:30 PM | Solbu | «Alexa: Activate Skynet»
|
| 7:31:35 PM | G_Dog1985_ | I got more good Google mini here
|
| 7:31:48 PM | noeman5 | 😄 solbu
|
| 7:32:09 PM | G_Dog1985_ | vs dots
|
| 7:34:29 PM | alpeck | that's a big meat ball
|
| 7:34:53 PM | noeman5 | That'sa spicy meatball
|
| 7:35:16 PM | G_Dog1985_ | lol
|
| 7:35:22 PM | MarshMan | LuksDumped a meatball
|
| 7:36:07 PM | noeman5 | Last time @Jeff Weston does the honorable mentions 😄
|
| 7:36:27 PM | MarshMan | Reading the news isn't so easy huh @Jeff Weston
|
| 7:36:28 PM | bp9 | At least he's looking at the correct camera this week LOL LOL LOL
|
| 7:36:33 PM | Solbu | Hehe
|
| 7:36:54 PM | G_Dog1985_ | poor jeff
|
| 7:37:35 PM | MarshMan | Poor Jeff won't make fun of Sasha so much now, will he?
|
| 7:38:44 PM | MoeMaravilla | QuadQuam
|
| 7:39:08 PM | G_Dog1985_ | yes
|
| 7:39:31 PM | noeman5 | They did a show a while back about a router or ISP that did just that. They were really psyched about it, especially @Jeff Weston
|
| 7:41:23 PM | MoeMaravilla | The Chinese make everything for us.
|
| 7:41:34 PM | alpeck | do we really need 5G yet?
|
| 7:41:45 PM | noeman5 | 28.8 modems!
|
| 7:45:04 PM | alpeck | It is worth the money but I think they are a little over confident.
|
| 7:46:11 PM | alpeck | Over confident to the point they are going to pay less because it is going to impact their bottom line.
|
| 7:46:57 PM | alpeck | But what is a bottom line when you make billions and billions of dollars every year.
|
| 7:47:39 PM | noeman5 | Wasn't it Cisco about 10 years ago that advertised their software as unbreakable, then had to retract that days later when a hacker broke it and took down one of their servers?
|
| 7:47:59 PM | alpeck | Exactly
|
| 7:49:07 PM | noeman5 | The old "send a thief to catch a thief" idea.
|
| 7:50:28 PM | MoeMaravilla | "It takes a thief" good series from the 70's
|
| 7:50:38 PM | alpeck | Time for new glasses @Jeff
|
| 7:54:44 PM | MoeMaravilla | So if your a hacker... provide a web-page that matches your MD5SUM binary.
|
| 7:56:16 PM | Solbu | Automatic updates should only be used for the linux distros repository. Not for binaries from any website.
|
| 7:59:19 PM | Solbu | We used to be able to edit the title and headline of links we added to Facebook. a few years ago they just removed it.
|
| 7:59:32 PM | Solbu | I used it often.
|
| 7:59:47 PM | MoeMaravilla | I don't get my news from FB.
|
| 8:00:02 PM | MoeMaravilla | Or any Social Media (for that matter).
|
| 8:01:22 PM | G_Dog1985_ | hmm
|
| 8:02:32 PM | MoeMaravilla | Social media without adds (or "news").
|
| 8:02:44 PM | MarshMan | You are manipulated by ANY news delivery
|
| 8:02:57 PM | MoeMaravilla | Agreed.
|
| 8:03:10 PM | alpeck | There is nothing social about social media.
|
| 8:03:35 PM | noeman5 | And nothing real about Reality TV
|
| 8:03:51 PM | MarshMan | The ultimate oxymoron
|
| 8:04:12 PM | MoeMaravilla | Ummm... This is the Cat 5tv news segment.
|
| 8:04:53 PM | MarshMan | @SashaR The missus will be your first friend
|
| 8:05:00 PM | alpeck | I prefer to call it ochestrated reality.
|
| 8:05:19 PM | noeman5 | Jeff "meatball" Weston.
|
| 8:05:28 PM | MarshMan | He hates everything TODAY???
|
| 8:05:47 PM | alpeck | Add meatball to the bloppers list.
|
| 8:07:49 PM | MoeMaravilla | Cloud storage
|
| 8:08:48 PM | noeman5 | You'll need 3 times as many drives due to small size constraints of SSD's. Even enterprise level SSD's
|
| 8:09:03 PM | RobbieF | https://tenor.com/view/albondiga-meatballs-kottbullar-gif-5713208
|
| 8:09:12 PM | BobK54 | love it!
|
| 8:09:26 PM | alpeck | I believe spinning hard drives will be around for a long time yet.
|
| 8:09:41 PM | SashaR | You guys rock!!
|
| 8:09:53 PM | ameriDroid | I like the Cybertruck and the way it looks.
|
| 8:10:02 PM | RobbieF | Agreed @ameriDroid
|
| 8:10:10 PM | MarshMan | @Jeff Weston the Devil's Advocate
|
| 8:10:15 PM | Mikeyikey | Goodnight If I had the money I would go SSDs.
|
| 8:10:17 PM | alpeck | Does UnRaid support wear levelling for SSD's?
|
| 8:10:20 PM | noeman5 | A LITTLE @SashaR ?
|
| 8:10:29 PM | RobbieF | This is why Sasha is my favorite: she only agrees with me.
|
| 8:10:48 PM | RobbieF | alpeck - no SSD support in unRAID.
|
| 8:10:55 PM | Solbu | Jeff: We love that you have a diferent perspective. That makes it interesting.
|
| 8:11:11 PM | RobbieF | I just wish I had a meatball to throw at him....
|
| 8:11:14 PM | MarshMan | Love is a strong word Solbu
|
| 8:11:31 PM | Solbu | I'm a strong man. ;-)
|
| 8:11:40 PM | noeman5 | @Jeff Weston will wait until he sees the WT Social user manual before he makes up his mind. lol
|
| 8:13:02 PM | MarshMan | Good night everybody!
|
| 8:13:21 PM | noeman5 | Good night @MarshMan
|
| 8:13:25 PM | MoeMaravilla | If I pay... I want no adds.
|
| 8:13:35 PM | alpeck | SashaR just has good posture.
|
| 8:14:15 PM | RobbieF | https://cat5.tv/brave for those interested 🙂
|
| 8:14:16 PM | noeman5 | And suddenly, they're gone!
|
| 8:14:34 PM | alpeck | Very interesting show tonight...bye
|
| 8:15:16 PM | noeman5 | Have a good night, and in the U.S. Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!
|
| 8:19:02 PM | noeman5 | I'll give Brave a try, although probably minimally, I really like my Epic Browser.
|
| 8:21:29 PM | MarshMan | Brave is just a fork of Chromium
|
| 8:22:48 PM | RobbieF | Correct: it is Chrome with some improvements, plus if you see ads, some of the revenue goes to you / cat5 rather than all going to whoever has the ad.
|
| 8:23:49 PM | MarshMan | As long as it works better than Chrome
|
| 8:24:05 PM | MarshMan | Chrome has been a royal pain lately
|
| 8:24:14 PM | RobbieF | I hope Brave works better for you!
|
| 8:24:21 PM | RobbieF | So far I am really happy with it.
|
| 8:25:34 PM | MarshMan | A good thing is I can use certain needed extensions too
|
| 8:26:59 PM | RobbieF | Yep; exactly. I was quick to install LastPass, for example.
|
| 8:27:17 PM | MarshMan | Precisely
|
| 8:28:10 PM | MarshMan | Although
|
| 8:28:23 PM | MarshMan | I do not see it on the iPad version
|
| 8:28:39 PM | MarshMan | May have to sync with my desktop
|
| 8:30:05 PM | MarshMan | I do not think so. Different name, yes
|
| 8:31:31 PM | RobbieF | Too bad really
|
| 8:32:36 PM | MarshMan | Yeah, I see no way to change your avatar
|
| 8:35:02 PM | MarshMan | Wow, to sync Brave you need to use a word phrase consisting of 25 words to sync devices
|
| 8:40:26 PM | RobbieF | Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In dictum non enim eget mattis. Quisque eros leo, egestas vel velit nec, semper commodo magna. Proin.
|
| 8:41:58 PM | MarshMan | Or you do it the other way by starting on the desktop and scan a QR code with the tablet
|
| 8:42:02 PM | MarshMan | 😛
|
| 8:43:15 PM | MarshMan | Very funny with the lorem ipsum

|
| 8:55:15 PM | RobbieF | Mmmmmm, I could go for a Turkey.
|
| 8:56:07 PM | MarshMan | I made sure my stretchy pants are clean
|
| 8:58:57 PM | ameriDroid | I'm brining a turkey right now. I'll throw it in the smoker tomorrow morning. Hope it turns out OK!
