[03:36:22] <Sulla> I shold have just bought a Model F and called my life complete
[03:37:17] <Sulla> Got all the keys working except for numpad plus and enter, and then spacebar and enter
[03:37:42] <Sulla> all appear to be easy except for space bar where the leed broke off at the hole down into the board
[03:37:51] <Sulla> need to find a video on wtf to do there
[03:44:12] <c0lo> The what-exactly broke off at the hole?
[03:45:27] <Sulla> Where the swtich solders into the board the pad you would solder to broke off, along with the trace under it, terminating at a round hole down into the bord
[03:45:44] <Sulla> so i need to figure out where that hole goes and then wire directly to it
[03:45:46] <Sulla> and bypas it

[03:53:10] <c0lo> So the copper exfoliated from the substrate and broke off?
[03:53:27] <Sulla> yeah
[03:53:32] <Sulla> its the non-diode side
[03:53:49] <Sulla> so i thin i just need to pull power from the previous switch, if its like the simple diagrams online
[03:55:06] <Sulla> on other pcbs i have this would have been much easier as i can see where all the traces go as they are writtn, this one not so much
[03:56:12] <c0lo> Nasty. Yeah, wire seems to be the only solution. If you aren't passing large currents, using a conductive ink may be a solution for interrupted traces, but not at the terminal holes.
[03:57:49] <Sulla> i had it working briefly but then one of ht ekids hit the table and now it no more worky
[04:10:31] <Sulla> mm ,,,,,,
[04:10:56] <Sulla> got space working. its a surface tension issue. used copper tape on either side to make a bridge that would allow the hole to be touched
[04:11:09] <c0lo> TIL, kids no worky in DYI keyboards.
[04:11:32] <Sulla> wish i had some high temp epoxy
[04:12:01] <Sulla> hot glue it is
[04:12:38] <Sulla> i think the ink you spoke of would work
[04:14:05] <c0lo> Can't solder on conductive ink.
[04:14:22] <Sulla> could i draw conductive ink to a pre-solderd wire?
[04:16:02] <c0lo> You need a bit of conductive epoxy to the wire, otherwise the bond will fail. Conductive ink is good for flat surfaces.
[04:17:09] <Sulla> hm

[04:26:53] <c0lo> If you want to waste a bit of time to play with DIY conductive inks, plenty of yt clips.

[04:27:28] <Sulla> down to just right enter and function key
[04:28:24] <c0lo> The most used, graphite in dense suspension. Better result with silver flakes (get them from copper in silver nitrate - search silver tree).
[04:30:46] <c0lo> If you use an epoxy with a spray on catalyst for suspending the particles, you can have strong "soldered" joins too.
[04:31:10] <Sulla> interesting
[04:31:52] <Sulla> i think for my situation, i just need anything conductive that will flow and not get wreked by surface tension
[04:32:07] <c0lo> Otherwise, you should be able to find things like that on electronics shops https://au.rs-online.com!8733!3!513982690016!!!g!335051959848!&cm_mmc=AU-PLA-DS3A-_-google-_-PLA_AU_EN_A_HI_Whoop-_-(AU:Whoop!)+Solder+Pastes-_-8352693&matchtype=&pla-335051959848&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2puRrtex8AIVlgsrCh2WuQBNEAQYASABEgJRw_D_BwE&gclsrc=a

[04:35:08] <Sulla> i have a feeling that no matter what i get it wont work and will have needed the other one
[04:38:37] <c0lo> You can try a DIY conductive paint with white glue as a the suspension/gluing medium. It's so cheap you can experiment on scraps of of pcb before going down on your problem. If it works, you can use a bit of epoxy on top of that to support it mechanically.

[13:35:03] <Bytram> This can't be this difficult? I want to print a plain ASCII text file (though I'd love if it worked with UNICODE/UTF-8). WAY WAY back when, I had a Laserjet 2P. Constructed some batch programs to copy specially-crafted text files (reset, set font face / font size / orientation / etc.) and then the file I wanted to print straight to the printer port. Worked like a champ! Later, on windows (XP / 7-PRO), with USB-connected Brother laser
[13:35:03] <Bytram> printer ran into problems. Formatted intended page layout using pr (ported to windows from unix) and handed it off to NOTEPAD with arguments to load file and print and exit. Would like to do the same on Linux (Ubuntu MATE) with USB-connected Brother laser printers. Suggestions?

[15:50:58] -!- inky [inky!~inky@5.77.suk.vpm] has joined #soylent
[15:53:58] <boru> I've never had an account on any social media platform, however, something that might interest you are things zuckerberg was questioned about during the last congress testimony: shadow profiles. Even if you don't have an account, they've aggregated enough data about other people to no only know you exist, but they've also worked out numerous facts about you, all without your consent.
[15:54:29] <boru> Friends don't let friends use facebook. Or whatsapp for that matter.
[15:55:03] <boru> FAGMAN all buy or trade one another's data, as well as from several other sources.
[15:55:15] <boru> And people think some of these services are free...
[15:56:37] <boru> The UK is a prime example of this sort of thing. Every company requires an email address for you to sign up. This is essentially a primary key for cross referencing service that you had signed up for.
[15:56:47] <boru> Thankfully, the GDPR put a stop of that.
[15:57:03] <boru> But then the UK left the EU, so they're exempt from it again.
[15:57:05] <progo> I've been aware of the shadow google and facebook profiles for years, yep
[15:57:32] <boru> Truly dystopian stuff.
[15:57:43] <progo> I am aware of the general public Internet surveillance but I don't spend time worrying about it for myself
[15:57:50] <boru> They're essentially private extensions of the US intelligence services.
[16:03:45] <Sulla> Boomers and millennials keep moving into my neighborhood and genociding all the big old trees

[16:14:04] <chromas> Where are they putting the wood?
[16:15:18] <Sulla> What can't be chipped they are loading onto a truck, i asked if i could get some for firewood but was told no
[16:15:39] <Sulla> muh liability means they will just take it to a yard debris place
[16:15:50] <chromas> Why give away for free what you can pay someone else to turn into trash?
[16:16:44] <Sulla> Boomers man. probably hates fireplace smoke so he told them they have to get rid of it so some neighbor can't use it and smell up near his house
[16:17:12] <Sulla> this boomer in particular has been lobbying complaints to the local govt to have my sequoia and doug fir removed
[16:17:18] <Sulla> both like 200+ft
[16:17:36] <Sulla> Sequoia has to have like a 8ft diameter
[16:17:49] <Sulla> "It could fall on my house!"
[16:18:17] <chromas> Is it a healthy tree?
[16:18:27] <Sulla> Yeah
[16:20:09] <chromas> Are they Californians?
[16:20:59] <Sulla> This boomer isn't. Some young californians moved in though and ripped out three massive trees because they were shading a future organic garden.
[16:21:06] <Sulla> I really like old trees
[16:21:50] <Sulla> If a tree is sick i get it
[16:48:11] <boru> Yeah, felling old growth is really messed up. People who know nothing about forestry think replanting is adequately effective.
[16:48:38] <Sulla> Yeah
[16:48:44] <boru> Old growth supports an entire ecosystem, rather than just provide shade to a few flora and fauna.
[16:49:07] <boru> It bothers me greatly when I see old growth in log piles.
[16:49:39] <Sulla> when is the SN15 test

[16:52:31] <boru> Which it might do at the weekend, if I'm not mistaken.

[20:46:49] <halibut> Bytram: I do not frequently print text files, but have found a2ps handy. ``a2ps <file>'' should print a text file. ``a2ps -B <file>'' should print with less extra stuff around. ``a2ps -o output.ps <file>'' should create a PostScript file so you can see what it would look like, and view/print from some PS/PDF viewing program.
[20:47:42] <halibut> a2ps has various options for pretty-printing code, and putting multiple pages of text on a single page, which tends to be handy since a lot of time straight text files are not well suited to the size of a page.
