01:52 <Schism> "There's a trick to these spells. What you shouldn't be casting is something starting with 'I'm not here'. That never, ever, ever works: it's too much for the brain to elide. Instead, Douglas Adams had it right: what you should be using to cast is 'I'm not important.' And even then, there's a certain flavour of bureaucrat against whom it's totally ineffective, but you get what you can."

10:46 * Schism randomly passes Finwe some Pyttipannu, as it is that time of day. Or close to, in any event. Within spitting distance, perhaps.
10:46 <Schism> Breakfast hash is best hash. o3o
10:49 <ConfusionRift> Mmm, breakfaaaast. (drools)
10:52 <Schism> Why the hell am I craving pickled beets.
10:54 <Schism> I never eat them. I don't even know what the hell my brain is thinking. And yet I look at those on top of some Pyttipannu, and think, "That might work..."
10:55 <Schism> But then I decide that if I'm going to eat the things I'm going to set up a pickling workshop and make some freaking suede, turnip, rutabega and beet relish.
10:56 <Schism> (it's a mixed relish, shut up)
10:56 <Schism> (and it has cabbage too)
11:04 <ConfusionRift> There was this pickled thing. It had a specific name, but can't remember. We bought it a long time ago.
11:04 <Schism> Pickled onion, pickled kimchi, pickled pear...
11:04 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-6rmhd0.tpgi.com.au)
11:05 <Schism> Kimchi, at least, is generally fantastically delicious, but other vegetables do depend. I know that if I'm ever going to pickle beets, I'm going to do it RIGHT.
11:05 <ConfusionRift> It was something like cabbage, green tomatoes, red onions, carrot slices, cauliflower, and something else I can't remember.
11:05 <Schism> Oh. Honestly, that's just mixed pickle.
11:06 <Schism> No better name for it. Usually served as a side next to some cheese and meats.
11:06 <ConfusionRift> I know it's a mix, but the bottle had a specific name for it (not the brand).
11:07 <ConfusionRift> It was clearanced, so it's no longer sold.
11:07 <Schism> It's still probably a branding, because that sounds like a very generic mixed vegetable pickle.
11:08 <Schism> Green tomatoes are admittedly probably the sticking point, though.
11:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2113 [ https://tinyurl.com/y64gvv7p ]
11:09 <Schism> No, sadly, I don't know the mix. It does sound quite nice, though.
11:09 <ConfusionRift> It was, even though I was the only one who ate it.
11:10 <Schism> Well, if you still remember all the ingredients... pickles can be tricky to get the recipes right, but they're fantastically easy to make.
11:10 <Schism> And part of the fun of cooking is, after all, to experiment.
11:10 <ConfusionRift> I'm also aware of pressure awareness.
11:11 <Schism> Mmm. I remember a pasta sauce company named Mid's which I bought not infrequently while I was down in Ohio...
11:12 <Schism> Sorry, that's not really quite relevant.
11:13 <ConfusionRift> I dunno. People here can get a bit nosey, and probably gonna see this weird concoction and throw it away, even if I told them it's just something pickling.
11:13 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and cats.
11:17 <Schism> So long as you just have a line of pickle jars on the floor, where the cats can't knock them off the metaphorical shelf, you should be okay.
11:20 <Schism> Frankly, I'd just throw them in the back of the closet, shut the door, and let them, er... pickle.

11:38 * Finwe is already nomming on miso soup for lunch, but accepts the pyttipannu (pytt i panna) offered by Schism as well.
11:39 <Schism> So many different pronounciations. o3o
11:39 <Schism> Call it what you will, it's potato, vegetable and possibly egg hash. And is of course nom.
11:40 <Finwe> Pytt i panna is the original Swedish name, meaning "leftovers in a pan".
11:40 <Schism> That's hash! o5o
11:40 <Finwe> Pyttipannu is just adaptation of that into Finnish phonology.
11:41 <Schism> And it's never _just_ leftovers, though you can always add whatever you want into the bargain.
11:41 <Schism> Little bacon, little steak, add a bit of rice, who cares, it's still nomworthy.
11:42 <Finwe> And it's traditionally serverd with sour gherkins, pickled beetroots and either scrambled or fried eggs.
11:42 <Schism> Still think that commercially pickled beetroot is a crime against nature, though gherkins and eggs are <3.
11:44 <Finwe> This is how the soup turned out: https://photos.app.goo.gl/PC4RuE5evrxQTxz96
11:45 <Finwe> I used one litre of water, one spoonful of dashi, 0.5 decilitres of miso paste, 200 grammes of tofu, 200 grammes of mushrooms and 100 grammes of spring onions.
11:45 <Finwe> Oh, and about 5 g of dried wakame seaweed.

13:09 <RazorSharpFang> Schism, the plural of Moose is Moosen.
13:09 <Schism> I am fine with this. Though the reason why we refer to the plural of box, as in computer, as 'boxen' is because the plural of ox is 'oxen'.
13:09 <Finwe> I think you need to have ∀ P | P is a valid proposition, but you get the idea.
13:10 <RazorSharpFang> Goose --> Geese... Moose --> Meese
13:10 <RazorSharpFang> Finwe, I actually don't remember the set notation I'm afraid.
13:11 <Finwe> For every x in the empty set and every proposition (that is valid in the logical system used), P(x) is true.
13:12 <Schism> I believe that I was once told the plural of 'goose' is 'gazunder', but my brain might be making that one up on the fly.
13:12 <Finwe> We have cow -> kine, and want to pluralise sorrow. How?
13:13 <Finwe> Plow would obviously become pline.
13:13 <Schism> A collective noun isn't quite the same thing.
13:13 <Finwe> Except that it is plogh.
13:13 <Finwe> Erm, plough.
13:15 <Schism> Meanwhile, the collective noun for a group of Finwe is, naturally, a Noldor of Finwë.
13:17 <Finwe> Kine is plural, not collective.
13:18 <Schism> Really? I've always heard that it's 'cows', not kine...

17:33 <cpl_uni> also what protocol are you staring at?
17:33 <Cepheid> RTP.
17:34 <Cepheid> Mostly, just because of PulseAudio's Windows Port lacking RTP support, and I wanted to see what RTP is.
17:34 <cpl_uni> ooh VoIP stuff?
17:34 <cpl_uni> oh I see
17:34 <Cepheid> Nah. Something else.
17:35 <Cepheid> I don't like bluetooth for audio, and I want an audio system I can access from anywhere in my room without having to move speakers or cables around.
17:36 <Cepheid> So, set up say, a Raspberry Pi 4 with PulseAudio, connected to the network via ethernet, and then transmit audio over the network to it to play over speakers.
17:36 <cpl_uni> huh
17:36 <cpl_uni> that sounds highly subject to latency
17:40 <Cepheid> Better than bluetooth.
17:40 <Cepheid> In fact, I should actually test.
17:41 <cpl_uni> it'll be interesting
17:41 <cpl_uni> like bluetooth is less crowded
17:41 <Cepheid> But it has limited bandwidth.
17:41 <cpl_uni> yeah was about to mention that
17:41 <cpl_uni> then I realised I have no idea what Bluetooth's bandwidth actually is
17:41 <cpl_uni> just "not much"
17:42 <Cepheid> Not enough for decent audio, that's for sure.
17:42 <Cepheid> It requires compression to work well. And even then it still has latency.
17:42 <Cepheid> And heavens forbid you try stereo audio.]
17:42 <Cepheid> That increases the latency to the point to "it's only good for listening to music."
17:42 <cpl_uni> haha
17:43 <cpl_uni> that's what I don't get about the current trend of bluetooth earpieces
17:43 <cpl_uni> like wasn't the big thing a year or so back how bluetooth absolutely ruins sound quality?
17:44 <ADragonDreaming> from personal experience I wouldn't say "absolutely ruins" - certainly my own bluetooth headset doesn't have any worse quality to my ears than the built-in laptop speakers or the cheapo desktop speakers I have.
17:47 <Cepheid> Yeah, the quality is relatively fine.
17:47 <Cepheid> It's just that the limited bandwidth can cause massive latency issues.
17:47 <Cepheid> Also, the quality of the encoder/decoder on each end.

17:57 <ADragonDreaming> Bluetooth devices are likely exploding due to one simple factor: convenience.
17:57 <Ali> Its the same stupid reason the cell phone took off
17:57 <Ali> Not sure why though
17:57 <Ali> Remember when you left the house to GET AWAY from the phone ringing all the time?
17:58 <ADragonDreaming> Majority of use cases likely don't require a level of audio quality that would make bluetooth compression a real factor; same thing for bandwidth. The general mass market doesn't need large bandwidth or great sound quality.
17:58 <ADragonDreaming> And bluetooth is the wireless equivalent of plug-and-play.
17:59 <Cepheid> Bleh, getting there, but some problems.
18:00 <Cepheid> That may have something to do with it.
18:00 <Cepheid> No sinks.
18:01 <Cepheid> No cards listed. Which means I likely have the onboard audio disabled on the server machine.
18:02 <Cepheid> ... Well *YAY*.
18:02 <Cepheid> Fine, fine. Guess I'll resolve that problem.
18:02 <ADragonDreaming> Ali: cell phone first adopters were businessfolk who lived and worked by the phone. It spread to the general populace as the tech got cheaper, and I think it really took off with SMS. These days, it's a little computer you take everywhere.
18:03 <cpl_uni> a little wiretap~
18:05 <Cepheid> Well, at least I know that monitor isn't dead.
18:05 <Cepheid> Works fine with HDMI, so either the DisplayPort port is busted, or the cat damaged the cable I had.
18:06 <Cepheid> ... And it's still listing zero cards, zero sinks.
18:07 <Cepheid> Audio device is there, so...?

18:11 <Finwe> Miss Ali.
18:11 * Finwe doffs his hat.
18:12 <Cepheid> Device is seen in the kernel, so why can't I access it...?
18:23 * Finwe noms on LilyPond.
18:31 <Cepheid> ... Apparently, the reason has to do with pulseaudio not loading the system-wide per-user default.pa file when I have a default.pa file in .config/pulse.
18:31 <Cepheid> So it didn't load any drivers.
18:33 <Cepheid> Thaaaar we go.
18:33 <Cepheid> And, not surprisingly, zero latency.
18:34 <Cepheid> Or at least, much lower latency than bluetooth.
18:36 <Cepheid> All I need then, I guess, is a small SBC.
18:36 <Cepheid> That, or an extension cord for audio.
19:07 * Cepheid flops off to shower.
19:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> You guys have weird issues. My phone isn't constantly ringing :P
19:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> And it's a business phone!
19:20 <Cepheid> Hmm?
19:21 <Starlight_Glimmer> That was an answer to an earlier conversation.
19:22 <Cepheid> Ah.

21:19 <Cepheid> Not for a while, at least. I have assignments due on Sunday that I need to work on, and I fully expect them to take the entire time I have available.
21:26 <Cepheid> I'd likely advertise it here though, NitroTheFurry, so you wouldn't miss it that easily.

21:36 <Cepheid> Monster Hunter.
21:37 <Cepheid> A game series where you hunt monsters, make hats out of their bodies, then hunt stronger monsters. Repeat until top of the food chain and wearing the Best Hat,.

22:27 <NitroTheFurry> Uh oh
22:27 <Cepheid> I'm fine.
22:28 <NitroTheFurry> Let's change that then
22:28 * NitroTheFurry pulls out a knife
22:38 <Cepheid> Violence around here is usually frowned upon.
22:38 <Cepheid> I should know.
22:40 <Cepheid> Ugh... so many Special Arena quests to clear.
22:44 <NitroTheFurry> Darn, okay then
22:44 * NitroTheFurry puts the knife away
22:48 <Cepheid> Hopefully this unlock still works for Iceborne.
22:54 <NitroTheFurry> Man, got me excited, I thought you said bloodborne for a sec
22:57 <Cepheid> Heh.
22:57 <Cepheid> Played through that, too.
22:57 <NitroTheFurry> My favorite game of all time
22:58 <Cepheid> Okay, that's six-star down...
22:58 <Cepheid> Seven star has... 7 SA quests. Great. Plus two regular quests.
22:58 <Cepheid> Well, better get started/
23:00 * NitroTheFurry has no idea what your talking about but wishes you luck
23:00 <Cepheid> Basically, each quest is a single "hunt monster" and it's time-consuming to do a bunch of them with such a simplistic goal in mind.
23:01 <Cepheid> Supposedly, you get a special rainbow pigment for what I'm doing. If this information is still correct, then I want that pigment.
23:02 <NitroTheFurry> I see
23:08 <Schism> At least special arena quests don't involve _tracking_ the monster. Plus, you can use the Dragonator.

23:57 <Schism> I also feel sorry for that poor GS player. Getting none of their attacks to connect... and that was even the ultimate GS combo.
23:57 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure that bug was fixed early on.
23:58 <ADragonDreaming> I saw hitsparks tho
23:59 <Cepheid> Another Azure down... and the last quest of 7*... Another Azure.
