<qu1j0t3> !!
<whitequark> ugh, "nicked soldermask near the edge of pcb" is the worst
<rqou> not if your ground plane doesn't extend that far out
<rqou> multiple news? helicopters near $FANCY_SCHOOL campus right now
<azonenberg> whitequark: how much use do you think there'd be in the f/oss world for a PRBS generator and BER tester that can run up to say 1.25 Gbps?
<rqou> you can test sgmii/GbE with it
<rqou> idk what else would be commonly used
<azonenberg> Because i may be building one to test starshipraider
<azonenberg> wondering if i should bother polishing it up to be more general purpose
<azonenberg> last thing i need is another project on my plate
<azonenberg> but i cant build the thing without it :p
<azonenberg> at least, not with halfway decent performance
<rqou> protestors are starting to appear at $FANCY_SCHOOL
<azonenberg> oh joy
<balrog> rqou: expect more of it
<balrog> when you have someone cancelling appearances due to protests that just demonstrates they're being effective :)

<cr1901_modern> Sure, let's go w/ that :P. Certainly more benign than what I meant
<mtp> oh
<mtp> freeze peach, gotcha
<mtp> i inserted '-dried' in there and my brain continued on

<balrog> yeah an antifa group
<whitequark> what was the generator for?

<rqou> alright, back to our usual programming of minecraft, anime, shitty electrical wiring, and occasional fpgas
<rqou> lain, whitequark: a number of people were throwing fireworks and flares
<whitequark> anime?
<whitequark> did i miss something?
<rqou> a few broken windows
<rqou> whitequark: doesn't ##openfpga occasionally discuss anime because of you?
<rqou> lain: "bonfire" was an electrical generator lit on fire
<rqou> used to power some temporary lighting that got knocked over
<whitequark> rqou: we have discussed anime on ##openfpga once, at 2016-11-15
<whitequark> ever since various people have been mentioning that ##openfpga now discusses anime
<whitequark> without having an actual discussion, frustratingly

<azonenberg> Hey, not strictly on topic (lol) but does anyone know of a source-sink LDO that can produce 4.5V from a 5V rail?
<azonenberg> I need to produce +0.5 and +4.5V with source-sink capability
<azonenberg> +0.5 is easy to do with a DDR termination reg
<azonenberg> Best option i've found for +4.5 is the LT1118 but that has a >1V dropout voltage so I'd need to boost my 5V up first
<rqou> oh f*** apparently protests are going out of hand
<rqou> primarily no longer on campus
<rqou> (i've since left)
<azonenberg> rqou: if people were shelling the police with fireworks, i'd leave too
<azonenberg> doesnt matter which side you agree with, i dont want to be in the middle of it
<rqou> as i was leaving many of the people actually on campus had left
<rqou> on-campus was pretty calm for quite a bit
<whitequark> lol some of those signs are hilarious

<azonenberg> rqou: how's the riot going?
<rqou> twitter says it's basically died down
<rqou> there's still helicopters around though
* azonenberg is finally trying to get back to antikernel stuff
<azonenberg> i keep getting pulled away
<rqou> originally i was planning to get stuff done today
<azonenberg> but in parallel with starshipraider i want to get the antikernel SDK and build tools figured out
<rqou> and then milo happened :P
<azonenberg> So that when i'm ready to write firmware i have a SDK to use

<whitequark> rqou: >"The violence was instigated by a group of about 150 masked agitators who came onto campus and interrupted an otherwise non-violent protest," UC Berkeley said in a statement.
<rqou> more or less true
<whitequark> kinda to be expected
<rqou> are the protests in the news in HK/RU/wherever you are?
<whitequark> I... don't really read local news. *especially* in RU
<whitequark> but lemme check
* whitequark is getting dumber by the minute and feels it
<rqou> RU news is that bad?
<whitequark> no
<rqou> why "getting dumber?"
<whitequark> it's not RU news specifically :)
<rqou> ah, the entire world situation in all news channels :P
<whitequark> nah RU doesn't care about Milo
<rqou> figures
<whitequark> if you *insist* I could open 4chan.ru/pol but
<whitequark> I'll need to get drunk first or something
<rqou> i mean, RU is in charge of the US now, right? :P
<whitequark> ehhhh
<rqou> apparently almost all news networks in the US covered it
<whitequark> huh, interesting.
<whitequark> RU networks covered the Mexico threat and the Australian fuckup
<rqou> that is interesting
<whitequark> looks like there were anti-trump protests at the US embassy in Central
<rqou> i thought there were anti-trump protests in many countries at this point
<whitequark> this seems kinda pointless tbh
<whitequark> well in Hong Kong at least
<rqou> hmm i don't see anything about the berkeley violence on the scmp main page
<whitequark> yeah nothing there

<flaviusb> whitequark: Speaking of particularly delicious garbage, I highly recommend Re: Zero.
<whitequark> flaviusb: the plot is weird enough. good
<flaviusb> Normally weirdness doesn't stack nicely (eg see the problems with Looper), but Re: Zero manages to stack a portal fantasy with a timeloop and have it actually work.
<gruetzkopf> am german, can confirm that threephase power is awesome
<rqou> nice backlog lag there :P
<rqou> at least scroll down to the part about protests :P
<rqou> gruetzkopf: any coverage of berkeley protests in germany?
<gruetzkopf> i scrolled up to the red line
<gruetzkopf> yes
<rqou> what's the news coverage like over in germany?
<rqou> it's totally quite over here now because the protesters are gone and it's 2am
<rqou> but when it was happening almost all US tv channels were covering it
<gruetzkopf> until now, a few small snippets in the papers
<gruetzkopf> it'll likely be in the evening news
<rqou> is it all photos of the burning generator or is there coverage of other parts too?
<rqou> twitter is full of alt-right reposting the burning generator
