[05:21:15] mlu I need to get my first revolver

[05:21:24] mlu over ten firearms and still no revolver :(

[05:22:04] mlu they're cool devices

[05:22:11] mlu I find the mechanics to be fascinating

[05:22:44] mlu and IRL, I find shooting to be the opposite of what it's like in video games: a zen-like activity of control

[05:23:22] mlu now if only the city would allow me to do light industrial work in my condo -- then I can apply for the FFL07

[05:23:37] mlu and legally make my own full-auto weapon "for demonstration purposes"

[05:23:47] mlu they're still practical

[05:23:59] mlu heh, my FFL03 is in my condo

[05:24:10] mlu but yes, my living room looks like a mad scientist's lab already

[05:24:20] mlu I don't need any of my guns, but I want them :)

[05:24:32] mlu they're really fun and drive home the "crazy" label :D

[05:24:35] mlu !bang

[05:24:47] mlu Fensta: I'm restricted by ITAR regulations :(

[05:24:57] mlu mmm, I hiave both

[05:25:21] mlu the Glock G17 is a meh gun -- it's very reliable and easy to shoot -- I'd trust my life with it, but that's about it

[05:25:54] mlu the Beretta 92FS -- that's a beauty -- feels great in the hands and the metal frame is so beautiful

[05:26:00] mlu it's actually my favorite pistol

[05:26:11] mlu Madafaka: sometimes, you can lose!

[05:26:32] mlu but they said "thou shalt not kill"

[05:26:48] mlu oh yeah, I recommend a shotgun

[05:27:04] mlu of all the guns I own, I find the shotgun to be the most fun, and it happens to be the cheapest

[05:27:21] mlu why? big boom, big recoil, and there's something visceral about pumping it

[05:27:50] mlu it's cheap because the barrel is just a metal tube, and relatively thin compared to that of rifiles

[05:28:16] mlu shotgun rounds are only 12500psi (compared to 35000psi of 9mm, or 85000psi of a 5.56NATO)

[05:28:28] mlu Fensta: you know their insurance policies, right?

[05:28:44] mlu they don't let you rent a gun unless you either have a buddy or already own a gun

[05:28:54] mlu you'd probably get shot

[05:29:08] mlu the minute you pointed the gun anywhere except downrange, the RSO (range safety officer) will likely stop you

[05:29:37] mlu make sure you either travel on visa waiver or an immigrant visa :P

[05:30:08] mlu not that they check

[05:30:30] mlu oh yeah, they're hired specifically for not being easy to distract

[05:30:46] mlu have seen a few RSOs fail probation because they got distracted too easily

[05:31:48] mlu lool

[05:32:27] mlu mmm heroin

[05:32:50] mlu I just think about how easy it'd be to miss

[05:33:15] mlu ohh, this reminds me of the time I tried to run electrolysis in my living room

[05:33:25] mlu ended up producing a bunch of chlorine gas

[05:33:37] mlu me? I had a hazmat suit and gas mask -- I verified that they worked

[05:34:10] mlu rust removal

[05:34:23] mlu you'd usually run it in sodium carbonate (washing soda) solution

[05:34:34] mlu but I ran it in NaCl solution

[05:34:43] mlu so instead of CO2, I get a lot of Cl2 instead

[05:35:04] mlu oh yeah, when I took the mask off, the eyes immediately started burning

[05:35:36] mlu I knew to expect the Cl2 :)

[05:35:45] mlu I just didn't know how much lol

[05:35:56] mlu turns out it was worse than bleach + ammonia

[05:36:03] mlu I was OK

[05:36:12] mlu but merely OK

[05:36:45] mlu I did have a girlfriend who had a PhD in chemistry

[05:36:48] mlu and my experiments horrified her

[05:36:57] mlu she's like: they sold that to you?!?!

[05:37:55] mlu she's just used to running a lab with professioanl OSHA rules

[05:38:05] mlu me? it's all about the chaos

[05:38:19] mlu i.e. that time I ran a Winchester bluing solution setup in my kitchen

[05:38:33] mlu one day, I was absent-minded and used an aluminium pot

[05:39:01] mlu exothermic reaction, superconcentrated NaOH + NaNO2 + NaNO3 solution, ~2gal of it, dissolves the pot and spills out

[05:39:11] mlu it was literally the IRL version of the bathtub scene of breaking bad

[05:39:39] mlu thankfully the gas mask and hazmat suit worked -- who knows how many first responders would have gotten hurt had I called emergency services

[05:39:49] mlu I didn't have any glass/pyrex containers large enough

[05:39:53] mlu you typically do it in an iron container

[05:40:05] mlu also, the solution boils at 296degF

[05:40:25] mlu glitchy: pretty much -- the walls were slippery and the air was caustic-moist

[05:41:07] mlu I went and called some hazmat numbers and they were like "use the absorber"

[05:41:12] mlu good thing they didn't ask if I was actually a customer

[05:41:22] mlu anyways, I neutralized the stuff with vinegar and clenaed up

[05:41:41] mlu the cuastic stuff did end up dissolving a hole in the leather shoes I was wearing at the time

[05:41:54] mlu Fensta: I do have a NCIS entry though :)

[05:42:15] mlu they just know where I am and I voluntarily put myself on there when I applied for the FFL and COE (required by the state of CA)

[05:42:21] mlu as well as my CCW permit

[05:42:43] mlu I'm still amazed at how low my serial number is

[05:43:04] mlu I just do all of this for fun :D

[05:55:53] mlu always know where your fire extinguisher is

[05:56:49] mlu I wish I took photos

[05:57:03] mlu but I was so embarrassed at the time that I just disposed of everything and was "done"

[05:57:47] mlu it wasn't on fire per se

[05:57:51] mlu but it was a spill

[05:58:38] mlu https://marklu.net/private/caustic.pdf -- this is what we were dealing with -- 2gal of this stuff

[05:58:47] mlu yes, I did at least make a safety label because that's the least I could do

[05:59:15] mlu but yeah, put that stuff in an aluminium pot and it will dissolve the pot

[05:59:35] mlu and that's an exothermic reaction -- so I step away for a minute, the thing's boiling off at superheated temperatures (~300degF)

[05:59:41] mlu and everything's a caustic mist

[06:00:02] mlu the smoke detector did go off, but after a few minutes, the circutry dissolved

[06:00:25] mlu yeah, the walls were slippery after the fact

[06:00:45] mlu the next day, I was using my ph strips on the walls

[06:01:10] mlu and oh yeah, that dirty stovetop? it was shiny after the fact -- that heavily caustic solution pretty much stripped everything

[06:02:40] mlu tehehe -- in theory

[06:02:45] mlu but I ain't interested in the drugs :(

[06:03:08] mlu https://www.brownells.com/tools-cleaning/paint-metal-prep/metal-bluing/oxynate-no.-7-bluing-salts/ -- btw., what I made was basically a DIY'ed version of this stuff

[06:03:41] mlu I prefer something with a little bit less risk

[06:04:06] mlu glitchy: heavily corroded, that is

[06:04:10] mlu !bang

[06:04:13] mlu !bang

[06:04:15] mlu !bang

[06:04:17] mlu !bang

[06:04:47] mlu glitchy: note that it is 15.0M -- superconcentrated -- i.e. you can't even have that concentrated NaOH at room temperature

[06:05:16] mlu i.e. NaOH will crust out when the solution cools down, and you need to break it up and reheat it to reuse

[06:05:34] mlu glitchy: yeah, see the safety label I created above :D

[06:06:09] mlu my mom did come across it while cleaning my place, so it did do the job

[06:06:17] mlu she was deathly afraid of it, like she should be

[06:07:10] mlu but yeah, in goes iron, out goes a nicely blued part with a smooth black rust-proof finish

[06:07:15] mlu coat in oil, and you've got some beautiful parts

[06:07:36] mlu I used a stainless steel pot for this, but you should ideally use a cast iron pot

[06:08:13] mlu the stainless steel pot will result in chromium ions in your solution -- a major health hazard and also potentially deposit silvery specs on your result

[06:14:19] mlu hmm, I had to design a cloud printing solution for work once

[06:14:37] mlu nothing like your own ipp server in node.js

[06:15:55] mlu not a .ps file?

[06:16:00] mlu did you ghostscript to translate it?

[06:16:13] mlu or did you just manually hack up the headers?

[06:16:31] mlu PDF is pretty much postscript with different headers and a lot of restrictions

[06:17:30] mlu depends on what filters are applied

[06:18:03] mlu this is part of the issue with printers: they all accept a variety of formats, but it's usually uni-directional and there's no discovery, so the driver has to decide what to send

[06:18:28] mlu and even worse, there's no standardized header format, so the printer has to guess at what format it's getting sent

[06:19:43] mlu the typical Airprint + Mopria printer takes: plain text, postscript, PDF, PCL, jpeg, tiff, PWG raster

[06:20:26] mlu airprint is URF raster

[06:21:37] mlu https://marklu.net/images/mellie/mellie37.jpg

[06:21:57] mlu yb: ooo what kinda dog? :D

[06:22:28] mlu Naemuti: sounds like you need to play around with the antialiasing and hinting features, as well as make sure you didn't misconfigure the subpixel antialiasing

[06:23:15] mlu and oh, what OS are you running?

[06:24:43] mlu Naemuti: ah, bitmap fonts only :)

[06:24:49] mlu Naemuti: looks like a configuration issue

[06:25:10] mlu i.e. you sure your WFW 3.11 installation is fine and isn't lacking a certain font?

[06:25:57] mlu since it looks like a 5x7 font is being used

[06:26:56] mlu MS San Serif, Fixedsys, and Chicago -- those are the three fonts to check IIRC

[06:27:22] mlu wait, scratch Chicago -- that's for Apple systems of the era

[06:28:30] mlu MS Sans Serif and Fixedsys then

[06:32:30] mlu Naemuti: yeah, perhaps missing some fonts

[06:32:41] mlu they're especially tricky for copyright reasons

[06:37:14] mlu it incentives everyone to work

[06:43:23] mlu most datacenters no longer rent just a couple U

[06:43:32] mlu they usually require you to rent entire racks for like $1000/mo

[06:43:42] mlu and you still ahve to pay for internet transit

[06:44:10] mlu in general, prepare to spend ~$5000/mo if you want your own infra in a datacenter somewhere

[06:44:32] mlu and more specifically: it's a waste to not utilize those 40U to the maximum

[06:44:39] mlu your typical 2U server can easily host 150 VMs on there

[06:45:12] mlu these days, the datacenters are actaully energy-limited

[06:45:26] mlu but yeah, if you want first-class colo, it just doesn't make much ense

[06:45:38] mlu that said, if you do get a rack, that's plenty to serve thousands of people

[06:45:53] mlu personally, I just pick from a list of VPS providers I like :P

[06:46:25] mlu the cloud services are usaully overpriced, but there's plenty of local providers that will gladly rent you a VPS /w 4GB RAM and 20GB HDD for $5/mo

[06:46:57] mlu it's not first class, but my ISP is cool enough to allow me to host servers on my connection as long as it's IPv6-only

[06:47:11] mlu (IPv4 usage allowed as long as I don't assume it's fixed)

[06:47:26] mlu in practice, that raspberry pi works excellently for me to IRC from

[06:47:41] mlu this pio is much more powerful than my first server :D

[06:48:00] mlu I don't feel the limits -- ti's actually very desireable for what it does

[06:48:18] mlu !bef

[07:40:43] mlu Naemuti: does it speak ESC/P?

[07:41:25] mlu yup, it sure does! :D

[07:42:07] mlu big idea is that it's like plain text, but there's escape codes to trigger various features

[07:42:20] mlu ESC/P for regular printers, ESC/POS for receipt printers

[07:42:35] mlu and your printer driver is supposed to translate whatever your system has into a language those printers can use

[07:43:17] mlu just learned the hard way: chicken fried steak without seasoning + buttermilk is very meh

[07:43:45] mlu yes: sometimes I use the kitchen for its intended purpose :P

[07:53:33] mlu !bang

[07:53:38] mlu !reload

[09:02:39] mlu .trivia 7

[09:02:47] mlu dr suess

[09:02:58] mlu Elton John

[09:03:10] mlu yeah, next time, adding some seasoning -- maybe even chili crisp

[09:03:14] mlu and actaully using buttermilk in the batter

[09:03:19] mlu the baseball

[09:03:29] mlu the creepiest

[09:03:32] mlu the crackhead

[09:03:36] mlu the crossroad
