00:18:25 <SootBector> oh wow

03:30:11 <pabs> steering: I found the torrents are way faster, they have webseed so you're downloading from multiple IA servers
03:31:34 <nicolas17> and you can ask a friend with better peering to IA servers to get the torrent too
03:31:40 <nicolas17> and then they seed to you
04:20:16 <steering> yeah, i don't normally have it quite so bad, but i wasn't in a hurry anyway
18:39:49 <Barto> steering: you got news about fireonlive ?
20:13:17 <nulldata> Anyone need a light? https://www.reflectorbital.com/
21:40:25 <Barto> astronomers will hate this trick
21:45:19 <Dango360> what happens if someone puts a lens on that diverges it to a single tiny point on the ground
21:46:08 <Dango360> oh wait i thought it was a spotlight acting as the sun
21:46:27 <Dango360> man
21:55:25 <Barto> dude's right, let's use gravitational lensing for more efficency! Instead of one star, let's use a galaxy!
22:08:45 <nukke> the sun's energy is finite, though. we should instead use another star's light for this
22:09:18 <nukke> steering: do you only have one-way communication with your fire source?
22:42:08 <steering> Barto: no
22:42:19 <steering> nukke: if by that you mean can I talk to fireonlive, no I can not
22:42:39 <steering> he's not in a condition to talk
22:57:37 <steering> $friend who I'm talking to is (understandably) pretty busy or distracted I think
22:58:32 <steering> I did ask if there's any update earlier but haven't heard back yet, could be asleep, or working, dunno
23:50:33 <Barto> steering: thx, keep us up to date if you can, that's great. I was not realizing he was in such a bad shape now :(
