11:49:08 <Wolf01> If my ISP would stop to block the traffic it would be cool...
12:18:43 <Wolf01> Not many better alternatives...
12:19:11 <Alkel_U3> I hear good things about smoke signals
12:19:37 <Alkel_U3> but yeah, I know very well how changing ISP is major pita
12:19:52 <Wolf01> Pigeons, pigeons carrying thumb drives
12:20:30 <Alkel_U3> throughput is unparalleled but the latency kinda isn't favorable for real-time gaming
12:20:52 <Wolf01> Not that is a PITA, but since the problem is the infrastructure I can change to any ISP and the problem will be still there
12:21:29 <Wolf01> I should move to wimax, but I need to change my home network for that
12:21:32 <Alkel_U3> no wireless providers around?
12:22:17 <Wolf01> And that costs, since I had to install the antenna, lay cables, move routers and ups to better places
12:23:52 <Wolf01> And the biggest problem is that there isn't anymore space to lay new cables
12:25:14 <peter1138> your isp blocks traffic?
12:26:25 <Wolf01> Yeah, they seem to have problems these days and they continuously throttle speed and block the connection, even for hours
12:27:20 <Wolf01> In the whole area, not for me, and it affects even other ISPs too, as others are in wholesale from mine
12:27:45 <Wolf01> (mine owns the infrastructure)
12:29:47 <Wolf01> This night I shut down the pc early as I couldn't even ping google... 2600ms ping, 0.5Mbps in download, 0.2Kbps up :|
12:30:26 <Wolf01> The router was correctly connected at 4Mbps, and the traceroute said the problem was elsewhere
12:34:19 <crem> Hm, ping from-work-to-google.com is longer that ping from-work-to-home + ping from-home-to-google.com.

15:30:47 <supermop> ah damn i forgot to upload the 1.0.0 version of trolleybi last night
15:40:16 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
15:41:51 <Wolf01> Printer software rebooted pc -.-
15:42:07 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
15:45:54 <Wolf01> Until they get some ransomware :P
15:46:18 <supermop> haven't owned a printer since like 2006
15:46:31 <supermop> no room for one in new york apartment
15:46:43 <Wolf01> I have one dot matrix yes, but no more ink
15:47:17 <Wolf01> Also no more parallel port XD
15:47:26 <supermop> my dad still has an awesome frog designed apple laser printer from 1989
15:47:38 <Wolf01> But I used it a lot with my amstrad CPC
15:47:43 <supermop> i wont let him throw it away because he should sell it to a collector
15:48:01 <supermop> plastic is getting a little yellow though
15:49:27 <Wolf01> Now I'm battling with my old HP all-in-one, for some unknown reason (my sister) it got stuck with a cartridge error and I had to reset it from the hidden menu
15:49:48 <supermop> i'd buy a scanner only i think
15:49:59 <supermop> wonder if they still make those
15:50:15 <Wolf01> I just reinstalled drivers and reconfigured the wifi connection
15:50:48 <Wolf01> I need a printer for the documents to sign, so print->sign->scan->send
15:51:31 <supermop> that is a frustrating case, but at least i only have to do that a couple times a year
15:51:48 <Wolf01> BTW, going to purchase new cartridges, these ones are a bit destroyed by an unknown evil force
15:51:49 <supermop> i should just photoshop my signature onto the pdfs
15:52:43 <Wolf01> I would like to do that too, but I'm not so good at it :P
15:54:42 <supermop> at an old job we had a vinyl cutter
15:55:27 <supermop> deliver all your documents as cut vinyl lettering applied to a sheet of glass
15:57:01 <supermop> so apart from the fact that i uploaded the wrong file to the forums, i think trolleybi set is good for a 1.0 version
15:57:13 <supermop> doesn't have anything wrong with it that i can tell
15:57:48 <supermop> the capacities seem a bit low, so i guess i could add a param for that if someone wants
15:59:37 <supermop> real work is pretty busy, but not sure what i want to do next
16:00:18 <supermop> add articulated trucks? non-trolley trucks? trams?
16:00:45 <supermop> i wish nml would support stations and bridges
16:01:13 <supermop> much more interested in drawing stuff like that
16:04:33 <supermop> i'd like to draw better sidewlks for my road set
16:29:40 <supermop> hmm my 4th generation truck costs twice as much per year to run, but only holds 40% more cargo
16:30:26 <supermop> it is almost 3 times as fast though

16:56:38 <supermop> but long distances of high speed elrd are too expensive with my road grf to make use of the high speed
17:09:48 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
17:09:50 *** andythenorth has left #openttd
17:27:08 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
17:41:16 <supermop> INTERESTING: you can convert road typr of a drive-in road stop while a truck is on it, but not a drive-through
17:42:01 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
17:51:19 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
17:51:47 <Wolf01> supermop, that's because I didn't put enough checks on it :P
17:53:39 <supermop> with rail you can convert anywhere while train is on
17:53:53 <supermop> even if it strands the train without power
17:55:20 <Wolf01> That looks really wrong
18:05:56 *** Wormnest has joined #openttd
18:09:55 <supermop> hmm iron horse cargo sprinter wont accept regular container cars inbetween the ends
18:10:17 <supermop> guess thats fine but now it doesn't seem so cheap

22:26:33 <andythenorth> supermop: want to play the station name game?
22:26:40 <andythenorth> not Mornington Crescent :P
22:27:14 <andythenorth> (and sort table by station name)
22:36:34 <andythenorth> does FIRS need GCC?
22:36:45 * andythenorth noticed the deps are very outdated on that page
22:39:27 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
22:39:58 <FLHerne> andythenorth: Why is 'Aluminium Plant' 'Powerplant' ?
22:40:09 *** Hiddenfunstuff has quit IRC
22:40:24 <FLHerne> Of the bizarre-implementation kind?
22:40:51 <andythenorth> I didn’t want to faff around with station names, and other people volunteered to provide interesting ones
22:41:05 <andythenorth> that confuses some people, but eh
22:41:29 <FLHerne> 'Smelter', or just 'Aluminium'?
22:41:31 <andythenorth> my main concern is to make more of them unique, they’re quite repetitive
22:41:56 * FLHerne thinking "Anglesey Aluminum", having watched far too many videos of that place in chemistry classes
22:42:16 <FLHerne> Had some nice '70s road vehicles, too
22:42:33 <andythenorth> the better ones are more esoteric like ‘tanner road’ and ‘old town hall'
22:42:43 <andythenorth> they’re are a total arse for translators though :)
22:43:12 <andythenorth> I want to add ‘barns’ and ‘plains’ for farms
22:45:11 <FLHerne> 'Plains' might look odd perched on a mountain
22:45:46 <FLHerne> (I went and removed suffixes like '-mouth' from one of the town name grfs because of that)
22:47:11 <FLHerne> OTOH, can industry names be suffixes?
22:47:25 <FLHerne> "Placehaven" might be nice for oil refineries
22:47:40 <FLHerne> Given those always /are/ on the coast
22:48:29 <FLHerne> Wouldn't work well with some town-name suffixes
22:51:17 *** sim-al2 has joined #openttd
23:08:48 <supermop> tanner road is less esoteric when every hamlet seems to have a station named x tanner road
23:09:16 <supermop> also: the old town hall is always now a general store
23:09:46 <supermop> granted, i wouldnt want to fly into an airport called 'newark gas station'
23:13:00 <FLHerne> I bet airports sell a lot of gas, though
23:13:23 <FLHerne> Probably more than all the petrol stations in a city put together?
23:37:17 *** sim-al2 is now known as Guest226
23:37:19 *** sim-al2 has joined #openttd
23:52:28 <Eddi|zuHause> maybe it's time for NotStationnames?
continue to next day ⏵
