07:57 <@Dagmar> Man you really need to take a step back and think about what you're doing with your time
07:59 < Evilpig> my time?  dude i'm clawing at anything to get my mind off the legal shit going on, knowing that sabrina is being emotionally/mentally abused .  i'd count grains of rice right now if it would stop my brain from having time to think
08:05 <@Dagmar> You're not the one posting URLs about furry sex dolls
08:06 <@Dagmar> You're time is _fine_.
08:06 <@Dagmar> @#$#@$ Your
09:36 <@Mirage> Didn't expect this...  So my Dell acct passwd is all fucked up after having to update it on Fri.  Can log in w/ my phone just fine, but laptop keeps telling me the passwd is wrong.  Went to join a meeting w/ Teams on my phone and couldn't find the headphones so I plugged my Jabra 1500 in to the phone w/ a USB-C adaptor and it just worked.  
09:37 <@Mirage> I absolutely did not expect the USB headset to 'just work;
09:37 < Evilpig> that's pretty nice
09:38 <@Mirage> Mute button didn't work, but the volume control did
09:43 < aestetix> Dagmar: I'm not the one buying them
09:44 <@Mirage> uh, huh...
10:07 <@Dagmar> USB headsets generally do work because just about everything to them is defined by HID
10:08 <@Dagmar> Anything with a complete set of basic USB device drivers should be able to use them without a problem
10:16 <@Mirage> I personally wouldn't expect a phone to 'just work' w/ a USB headset.
10:20 <@Mirage> I really hope that this Nov enough of the crazies lose in their elections for congress to actually work again.
10:36 <@opticron> Nikki already beat T in DC, but I'm not sure that was unexpected
10:39 <@Dagmar> Mirage: Despite the fact that most do exactly that already?  Wired headphones for cell phones are _usually_ a headsset
10:40 <@Dagmar> With a USB C adapter, my Razer headset works on my phone.  It's overkill but it works
11:50 -!- oddball [~oddball@h69-130-155-93.mtjltn.broadband.dynamic.tds.net] has joined #se2600
11:53 < oddball> I'm guessing someone's butthurt.  I forgot to log back in for a week or two, and someone was using my handle, and tried to register it over 10000 times.
11:56 < Evilpig> wow
12:01 <@Dagmar> Sucks to be them
12:20 <@Mirage> Brought grandparent's computer home w/ me to troubleshoot because it refused to POST while I was up there.   Looks like either the CPU or MB got zapped by a surge..or just died from age.  It's an old AMD FM2+.  I don't have any of those laying around anymore, so can't swap parts to troubleshoot anything but the memory, which seems to be fine.  
12:21 < Evilpig> that's just a little dated
12:21 <@Dagmar> FM2+ is old enough you might as well just bin it all
12:22  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
12:22 < aestetix> oddball: that's impresive
12:22 <@Mirage> Got a spare Optiplex 5020 that I snagged from a garage sale that I might just drop the SSD in and call it good.  Since my grandpa passed a couple years ago it's rarely used.  The old as hell i5 in that Optiplex should be more than sufficient for what it needs to do.
12:22 < Evilpig> Dolemite isn't here.  he's on a boat. likely with his flippy floppies
12:44 < Synx_> i've gone stupid... i've now purchased the lenovo 720q, a 1TB nvme, 32GB of ram, 2x 10Gbe nic, and soon i will have purchased a m.2 wifi card that actually supports AP mode
12:44 < Synx_> i home some homelabber wants to buy this beast
12:45 < Synx_> s/home/hope/
12:58 < oddball> So... you're either wanting a basic Windows box, or a pretty capable Linux VM host...
12:59 < oddball> At work, we've started having to ship machines with 1TB drives in to sit on nursing station desks... because Windows.
13:17 <@Dagmar> hehe
16:08 < Synx_> oddball, its for a firewall/router thinking pfsense or opnsense or openwrt if somebody really wants
17:40 < oddball> cool
18:58 < oddball> And yeah... that's a *beast* of a machine for that.
19:19 < Synx_> ya i got a *little* carried away on ebay :( probably means it wont be profitable when i sell it
19:20 < Synx_> im curious to see how much throughput it can manage when i pile on ipsec or wireguard, im going to get metrics on performance before i sell it
19:23 < Synx_> i cant find the right fucking antenna for this thing, ordered this, https://www.amazon.com/BestParts-External-Replacement-SA30M36130-ThinkCentre/dp/B0BFL3GXT5, which says compatible and its sma? connector is way to big for the tiny connector on this computer
19:23 < PigBot> 404 <!doctype html>
19:34 < Synx_> apparently its RP SSMA, thanks Lenovo, fuckers
