17:11 <Cepheid> ... Any darker, and I'd swear what I pissed out was blood. o3o
17:12 <Cepheid> But yeah, that game in the link? It's Actraiser in all but name.
17:16 <LibrarianofHope> never played it
17:16 <LibrarianofHope> granted, i was very young and knew no english in those days
17:19 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
17:20 <Cepheid> Out of curiousity, how'd you learn English? Formal education or through other means?
17:20 <LibrarianofHope> self taught, by reading,playing and movies/tv
17:20 <LibrarianofHope> most have picked some stuff in school, but i mostly did it myself
17:21 <Cepheid> A lot of foreigners(Relative to living in Canada) that I know seemed to have learned English that way, and ironically?
17:21 <Cepheid> The ones who learned that way seem to have better mastery of English over those who receive formal education.
17:21 <Cepheid> Most of the time, anyways.
17:22 <LibrarianofHope> yep, becuase i did it for fun,not by imposition
17:22 <Cepheid> I imagine Finwe received formal education, and he's an outlier in the statistics I'm working with, but given he went far enough to acquire a PhD in Math, he's probably one of those extremely studious people.
17:22 <LibrarianofHope> finwe has a phd?
17:23 <LibrarianofHope> does that make him a doctor in math?
17:23 <Cepheid> As far as I am aware, he has a PhD.
17:24 <Cepheid> When it comes to mathematics, the man's a genius. Kind of impacted some other aspects of him, in my PERSONAL opinion, but eh. He's better than the only other people I know who have a PhD in math
17:24 <LibrarianofHope> im highly impressed
17:24 <Cepheid> Most people I've met who have PhDs, especially those in mathematics, have been assholes.
17:24 <LibrarianofHope> and he makes beer too
17:25 <Cepheid> Which is something I imagine is a bit of a problem with acquiring higher degrees in general.
17:25 <Cepheid> Some people will use the higher degrees to exhert dominance or superiority over others.
17:26 <Cepheid> Case in point, my dad had a co-worker who just up and quit his job as a technician because he had a masters in network administration, etc..
17:26 <Cepheid> And considered the job to be "beneath him."
17:27 <LibrarianofHope> the only reason i would call someone below me is becuase they are working in the basement
17:28 <Cepheid> Heh.
17:29 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I don't consider manual labour beneath me. No, the problem is more "Manual labour is incompatible with me."
17:29 <Cepheid> For some reason I just sweat an incredible amount of water.
17:29 <LibrarianofHope> i like manual stuff

17:30 <Cepheid> But the problem now is that I sweat so danged much and there's no explanation for it.
17:30 <Cepheid> I stop and take short 15-second breaks not because I'm out of breath, but because I'm wiping sweat off of the parts of my body that are soaked in it.

17:32 <Cepheid> I want my blood examined whenever I've been strained, to see if perhaps there's an overproduction of something in my blood during physical exercise.
17:33 <Cepheid> Because every other time I've gotten a physical done, the blood tests came back negative with everything.

17:45 * Ali wonders if Cepheid's delve into Terraria was a short one?
17:45 <Cepheid> Ali, I only play it when I feel interested in gaming, so it's rare, right now. Same with the rest of my games.
17:45 <Ali> Understandable
17:46 <Cepheid> But yes, so far I haven't made much progress. I am debating setting up a server, but I need to get a bunch of stuff set up on that old PC of mine.
17:46 <Cepheid> For starters, I need to either get Windows 7 going, or at least one VM going that runs Windows 7.
17:46 * LibrarianofHope jumps on ali and alisurfs
17:46 <Ali> I like the game, but moonlord is a pain, and I'd like to do expert mode too X.x
17:46 <Cepheid> And right now, I'm having trouble with that PC.
17:46 <Ali> Again no problem
17:46 <Cepheid> It works fine when all the hard drives are working in emulated IDE mode.
17:46 <Ali> Just trying to not be too much of a bother.
17:47 <Cepheid> It turns out all my problems are when I try to get the hard drives functioning in proper AHCI mode.
17:47 <Cepheid> I'm not sure if it's because the motherboard doesn't like the SSD hard drive, or if something's wrong with the power supply. Especially since the power supply is making noises.
17:51 <Cepheid> So I'll likely toss a platter drive in there to test, if that still has problems, it's probably the power supply being unable to properly provide power.

18:09 <Cepheid> I've been eating.
18:09 <Cepheid> No, it's probably just I need more fluids still.
18:09 <Cepheid> Also, I just described social media in the best possible way.
18:09 <Cepheid> "Social media is the Internet equivalent of people standing on the corner screaming about the end of the world."
18:14 <PinkieShy> LAst night i'll say that canker sore i have in my mouth was hurting so badly..
18:14 <PinkieShy> This morning there's still pain but not nearly as bad as last night.
18:17 <Cepheid> PinkieShy, not to sound rude, but really, most people don't care about hearing about how one's cankor sore is doing. It's enough to mention that yeah, you got one and it's sore, but we don't need updates for such a trivial problem. Just make sure to take care of it using treatments. You're not gonna die from it.
18:17 <Cepheid> Maybe a few centuries ago it might have killed you, but now?
18:18 <PinkieShy> :/ Just pain sucks..
18:18 <Cepheid> If a cankor sore kills you, I'll donate money to a church charity, even though I distrust and depending on the sect, dislike the church.
18:18 <Cepheid> Yeah, I know.
18:19 <Cepheid> It's just... Okay, there's no polite way to put this, but it makes you look overdramatic.
18:19 <Cepheid> And I guarantee that you're probably annoying someone, because I used to be the same way, and I annoyed a number of people with it.
18:20 <Cepheid> And trust me, you don't want that happening because it leads to some truly agitating and depressing stuff.
18:20 <Cepheid> Now, had you broke a bone, I'd have let it slide. Broken bones are no joke, no matter how small. o3o
18:22 <Cepheid> Funny story regarding that. My mother apologized to me for teasing me about breaking the cast off of my arm way back when. She told me she understood why I did it, after having a cast on her leg for more than few days.

18:52 <Ali> And the truck thing is the oldest internet troll
18:53 <LibrarianofHope> yeah i know, just wanted to be funny boi
18:53 <Schism> That's a classic trick at this point. Using the trainer data to push a specific 'mon to the right spot.
18:53 <PinkieShy> I just know there has to be a trainer storage thingy like that to get a missingno though. There has to be right? xD
18:54 <Schism> Well, the simplest way to get a 'safe' Missingno (which also duplicates items) is to talk to the Old Man in R/B, then surf along Cinnabar's coast.

18:56 <LibrarianofHope> is that a common thing?
18:58 <Schism> The glitches in R/B, you mean?
18:58 <Schism> Because the various glitches /do/ lead to some interesting things, especially when you get into arbitrary code execution.
18:58 <LibrarianofHope> no, weird mothers harrasing people
19:00 <Schism> Oh. ... well, there are enough people that it probably happens on a frequent enough basis.

19:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Silver Quill: Let's Review: Spirit of the Forest #2 [ http://tinyurl.com/y3tl7rcm ]
19:08 <Cepheid> Glitches in console game are more prevalent than people are lead to believe.
19:08 <Cepheid> What with the whole "Modern games have more bugs that have to be patched than those older console games."
19:08 <Cepheid> Yeeeeah no.
19:08 <Cepheid> There's an entire Let's Play of FF6 for example, that exploits a number of bugs that exist in the game.
19:08 <Cepheid> And the list of bugs is VERY LONG.
19:09 <Cepheid> The reality is that these bugs aren't ever encountered in normal play situations.
19:09 <Cepheid> Most of them anyways.
19:09 <Cepheid> There are bugs that are encountered in normal gameplay, but you don't notice them simply because you can't identify them as bugs.
19:09 <Cepheid> Usually such bugs are the ones that occur 100% of the time when you do a particular action, but has no impact on the game itself.
19:10 <Cepheid> Therefore, you assume it is a normal behavior.
19:17 <LibrarianofHope> its not a bug, its a feature
19:17 <Cepheid> More or less.
19:17 <LibrarianofHope> its not delibery, its digiorno
19:18 <Cepheid> There's actually one bug that requires an extremely specific set of instructions to trigger in FF6, which involves progressing the game to a certain point under certain conditions.
19:18 <LibrarianofHope> hotel? trivago
19:18 <Cepheid> Which takes numerous hours to do.
19:19 <Schism> Isn't that the one which requires you to progress through until you get to the WoR, and then die, sending you back to the start with many of the story triggers completely obliterated?
19:20 <Cepheid> Yes.
19:20 <Cepheid> And you can't save even once during the entire process.
19:20 <Cepheid> Or do certain things.
19:20 <Cepheid> Because it breaks the glitch otherwise.
19:21 * Schism nods. "Another way to return to the WoB is to die to a rat in the Opera House."
19:23 <Schism> There are worse bugs, of course, by far. Rippler, Sketch, etc.
19:24 <Cepheid> Still.
19:25 <Cepheid> The point of my argument is that old cartridge-based games are more bugfree than modern games with patches is a lie.
19:25 <Schism> Oh, indeed.

19:44 <Cepheid> Return to the WoB actually relies on the airship actually.
19:45 * Schism ahs, and nods.
19:48 * Schism attempts to Sketch an Intangir, and the entire game breaks like a wet biscuit.
19:48 <Cepheid> But yeah.
19:48 <Cepheid> Bugs in those older console games are more common than people want to believe.

20:01 <Cepheid> Oh, nice.
20:01 <Cepheid> There's a website that details the power on pads for all the Macbook Pro motherboards.
20:01 <Cepheid> Apparently they're these little square pads, right next to one another. Quite distinct.
20:06 * Finwe has a round power switch on his MacBook Pro.
20:06 <Cepheid> I don't, anymore.
20:06 <Cepheid> I disassembled the laptop down to it's distinct components.
20:07 <Cepheid> Parts of it were already damaged thanks to a battery that ballooned.
20:07 <Cepheid> Keyboard and touchpad are definitely gone, but the motherboard and other components are all fine.
20:07 <Finwe> I had the same problem but I noticed it in time and got a new battery.
20:07 *** Joins: AppleDash (appled@Gladiolus.Rocks)
20:07 <Cepheid> I didn't notice it because it happened while the laptop was in storage.
20:08 <Cepheid> Alas, I lack the power adapter to boot it up. Gonna order a cheap offbrand one tomorrow.
20:08 <Finwe> My old battery started to swell when its temperature rose over a certain limit.
20:08 <LibrarianofHope> how do you even open a macbook?
20:08 <Cepheid> Ironically, for a brand known for it's proprietary components..
20:08 <Cepheid> The power connector for the motherboard is not proprietary.
20:08 <Finwe> I experienced it as the touchpad being pressed down constantly.
20:09 <Cepheid> The maglock connector is actually a second, small off-board PCB with connector.
20:09 <Finwe> This is because the battery is located directly under the touchpad.
20:09 <Cepheid> It's connected to the motherboard using a standard multipin connector.
20:09 <Cepheid> LibrarianofHope: Special screwdrivers.
20:09 <Cepheid> Which can be purchased.
20:09 <Cepheid> In this case, it was just a torqes screwdriver, which is commonplace in screwdriver sets now.
20:10 <Cepheid> The rest of the screws once the base is removed are usually just phillips screws.
20:10 <LibrarianofHope> how hard is it to fix a mac vs a regular pc?
20:10 <Cepheid> Like any laptop, much harder.
20:10 <Cepheid> The primary problem is that a majority of the problems that occur are with components on the systemboard.
20:11 <Cepheid> Which usually means replacing the systemboard to fix the problem.
20:11 <Cepheid> Which usually means a premium price to replace the component, since systemboards are rarely, if ever, sold directly by manufacturers.
20:12 <LibrarianofHope> systemboard is the laptop equivalent of motherboard?
20:12 <Cepheid> And it has to be the right board, too, since even two laptops, side-by-side, might look exactly identical on the exterior, but once you open it up, the internals might be different.
20:12 <Cepheid> Yes
20:12 <LibrarianofHope> intersting
20:13 <Cepheid> It pretty much contains a majority of the components of the system. USB ports, SD card ports, hard drive ports, video ports, etc.
20:13 <Cepheid> Usually, the only off-board component tend to be the wireless adapter.
20:14 <Cepheid> The other peripheral components that aren't directly on the board are the LCD screen, speakers, hard drive, keyboard and mouse.
20:14 <Cepheid> But if the controllers or GPU for any of these fail, the entire systemboard has to be replaced.
20:14 <SunsetShimmer> its what makes laptops a gamble much of the time
20:14 <Finwe> My MacBook Pro is so old that you can replace memory, battery and hard drive quite easily.
20:14 <Cepheid> Same.
20:15 <SunsetShimmer> friend of mine had her laptop fry recently
20:15 <Cepheid> Macbook Pro 13" Mid/Late-2011.
20:15 <LibrarianofHope> mine should fall on that area
20:15 <Finwe> I have 15" late 2008.
20:15 <Cepheid> Hard drive, battery, memory can be replaced.
20:15 <LibrarianofHope> i think mine is 2012
20:15 <Finwe> I also have optical drive and USB and FireWire ports.
20:16 <Cepheid> As it is..
20:16 <Cepheid> It seems useless to use it?
20:16 <Cepheid> But it's not.
20:16 <Cepheid> It's expensive, it's old, and I could probably make a few bucks selling it.
20:16 <Cepheid> But it's better than those microPCs you can buy, like the Raspberry PI.
20:16 <Finwe> The modern ones have SSD HD on the motherboard, memory integrated on the motherboard, and only USB-C / Thunderbolt ports.
20:17 <Cepheid> Yeah.
20:17 <Cepheid> My current laptop has 4GB of RAM onboard.
20:18 <Cepheid> The other 4GB is provided by a single DDR3 slot.
20:18 <Cepheid> They designed it in a weird way though.
20:18 <Cepheid> The 4GB onboard is placed in such a way that the lower of the two RAM slots cannot be used.
20:19 <SunsetShimmer> this one is a 8GB Ram with a 2.50 8 core intel....it does the job fine, but its certainly no spring chicken
20:19 <Cepheid> Needs more RAM to improve it.
20:19 <Cepheid> 8GB isn't good enough for Windows 10. And for gaming, laptops are generally not a good idea.
20:19 <LibrarianofHope> im happy i can work with my phone, no need for fancy tech
20:19 * Finwe noms on SunsetShimmer.
20:19 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the drive can be changed to an SSD probably to improve it further.
20:19 <SunsetShimmer> Ceph: I dunno, works fine.
20:19 <Cepheid> I said generally.
20:20 <Cepheid> Some of them can do gaming. I'm assuming you're using something a tad newer than a Haswell Intel CPU.
20:20 <Cepheid> Easiest way to check is to see what type of video card is reported.
20:20 * Finwe also noms on Ali.
20:20 <Cepheid> If it's an Iris video card, it's probably Skylake or higher. If it's nVidia or AMD, then there's a discrete GPU.
20:21 <SunsetShimmer> Its absolutely an Nvidea Gforce
20:21 <LibrarianofHope> ali, did you knew that the part of yesterday you werent here we had 3 storms, a zombie aplocalypse and ran out of cookies?
20:21 <Cepheid> Then it's got a discrete GPU.
20:21 <Cepheid> Which probably means it's classified as a "gaming laptop" to a degree.
20:21 <SunsetShimmer> Yes, 2 GB Vid I think
20:22 * Ali shrugs and puts SunsetShimmer in charge while she is gone for noms
20:22 *** Ali is now known as Ali|AFK
20:22 * SunsetShimmer zombies on LibrarianofHope! @w@
20:22 * LibrarianofHope bites back
20:22 <Cepheid> In my case, I'm using older Intel video hardware, which annoys me.
20:22 <Cepheid> Because I'm at the "generation" just prior to what Intel supports Vulkan on.
20:24 <Cepheid> ...
20:24 <Cepheid> Dangit, Carleton.
20:24 <Cepheid> Your co-op job listings website is down. 404 errors. o3o
20:24 <Cepheid> Can't you do anything right?
20:28 * Filly_Nightmares mewls at Finwe
20:29 <Cepheid> But yeah, there's a lot of proprietary stuff in laptops.
20:29 <Cepheid> A majority of the time, none of it can be swapped out.
20:29 <Cepheid> The only components that can generally be modified are hard drive, memory and if you're lucky, maybe the wireless adapter.
20:30 <Cepheid> My current laptop, for example, the wireless adapter is separate from the board, and can be replaced. It even uses a standard key form.
20:30 <Cepheid> In theory, I could replace the laptop's wireless adapter with an AC adapter.
20:32 <Cepheid> Ah, it's already AC.

22:08 <Cepheid> I'm getting frustrated by it. I understand the underlying issues at work as to why these guys are doing this, but those "issues" don't give them the right, legal or not, to do it. And I don't think the solution of "teaching other men when they express the wrong views" isn't working, or will ever work. A person can listen to all sorts of stuff, and go "Yeah, yeah, I understand.

22:20 <Cepheid> Yeah, looks like the old PC just doesn't like SSDs.

22:27 <Cepheid> Heh.
22:28 <LibrarianofHope> my logic of the librarian of hope character is that he was a legitimate librarian and really liked being one, and that to a person in panic it sounds nice and safe, so they dont panic further
22:29 <Cepheid> I did not think that this would take so long.
22:30 <Cepheid> It's still copying the contents of the disk from the drive.
22:30 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, server PC's working fine now.
22:30 <Cepheid> Though I do need to do all the system updates now.
22:30 <Cepheid> And it's Windows 7, so I expect it to be resistant.
22:31 <Cepheid> I'd have preferred Windows Server 2019, but I can't get the install for that to start up on it.
22:31 <Cepheid> But then again, maybe that was the SSD interfering?
22:32 <Schism> Could very well be the cas.e
22:32 <Schism> case.* Try now if you can?
22:32 <Cepheid> That's the plan.

22:36 <Cepheid> Especially since Windows 7 doesn't recognize the NIC.
22:39 <Cepheid> 1) I need a front-panel fan controller, because 2) This motherboard doesn't support PWM on any of the case fans, and 3) It sounds kinda like a jet engine because all the case fans are running at full capacity.
22:41 <Cepheid> My sister's returning home tonight. With the dog.
22:41 <Cepheid> Son of a b- .... ee's abdomen.
22:45 <Cepheid> Looks like it's workin'?
22:45 <Cepheid> Yep. Got into the install.
22:46 <Cepheid> Guess it was just the SSD interfering.
22:46 <Cepheid> Don't know why it would.
22:57 <Cepheid> Fun note, but this SSD I was using? It's from SanDisk, but there's no mention of it's model anywhere on the website.
22:57 <Schism> ... Knockoff possibly?
22:58 <Cepheid> Oh, wait, there it is.
22:58 <Cepheid> Not a knockoff. But rather, just old.
23:00 <Cepheid> It's apparently a brand of SSD that is self-encrypting. Or rather, some drives that are self-encrypting.
23:01 <Cepheid> That said, even the EOL page doesn't list this particular model. IT lists 64GB drives, but not 128GB.
23:07 <Cepheid> Looks like WinServer2019 is working just fine now. Huh.
23:11 <Schism> Well, that is at least good news.
23:12 <Cepheid> I'd prefer to use Linux, but VMing Windows and running windows-specific servers on it is a pain in the butt.
23:12 <Cepheid> It's not very performant, no matter what ye do.
23:13 <Cepheid> Updates are even installing. Whatever's up with that SSD, it does not like this PC.
23:13 <Cepheid> Probably needs a firmware update or something, as apparently there is one for all the other models of the X300s.
23:15 <Cepheid> Okay, wow.
23:15 <Cepheid> I knew drives get hot, but this is nuts.
23:16 <Cepheid> I just finished the backup of the disk contents.
23:16 <Cepheid> And the drive is hot.

23:20 <Cepheid> Interesting. I legitimately cannot find anything on this model of drive.
23:26 <Cepheid> Now to finish the updates for the server, then look into setting up RDP.
23:26 <Cepheid> As I don't want to use a KVM Switch.
23:38 <Cepheid> That update is taking it's sweet time to finalize.

23:57 <Cepheid> Aaand there we go, server's up and running again. First software to install, Space Engineers dedicated server, and Terraria's server.
23:58 <Schism> Huzzah! o3o
