| 0:00.0 | Brad, I did the unthinkable. |
| 0:01.5 | Oh. |
| 0:02.4 | I submitted. |
| 0:03.9 | You got to. |
| 0:04.8 | Yeah. |
| 0:23.8 | Attenuate these intros a little bit. Look, we're through the looking class here, man. It's a whole new world. At this late date, words like unthinkable, maybe get the hackles up a little more than I can handle. Look. Okay. Maybe it's unthinkable for me. Okay. In the context of like some nerdy computer project shit, it's unthinkable, let's say. |
| 1:13.3 | Yeah, I, I submit a pull request, man. Not like you started digging an underground shelter or something. Look, okay, I do watch a lot of tunnel videos on YouTube. Uh-huh. There's that woman that's dug the tunnel under her house. I don't know if you, are you into the cold comfort of underground lodging? Not yet, but maybe I should be. I can't. Well, first, this started for me with Colin Furze, right? Colin Fur is that YouTube guy. He builds like crazy engineering. I think he started out as a welder, but he builds like motorcycles with giant counterweighted balances on the top. so you can ride on the motorcycle like 15 feet in the air. Oh. Um, and, uh, sounds useful. He dug a hole in his backyard and put a home theater in it. All right. Uh, like a like a 20 foot by 20 foot home theater. And then he started making tunnels that connected that to the house. And the thing he's been working on for like two and a half years now is digging up his front, his front driveway in like a UK kind of suburban home and putting an elevator underground |
| 1:21.2 | garage with an elevator that can lower his Delorean in underneath it. |
| 1:25.1 | It's one way to maximize your space. |
| 2:52.0 | You should look at the YouTube. It's a good YouTube series because it's... When you own the property above ground, you also own the space below the ground level, right? See, it's funny. That's what he thought. And then the local authorities had different feelings about that. So anyway, I have not started digging yet to answer your question. Okay. That's fair. Also, I'm going to say that burying your home theater in the ground is an interesting way to solve the blackout curtain problem. Yeah, like, I think he probably created a much larger echoing problem because he built it out of steel, like plate steel and stuff. Yeah, you need something absorbent on the inside. Yeah. And also it looks, it looks wet in there in a way that I probably wouldn't be thrilled with. But also think of how cool it would be to have like a whole like I used to as a kid, I had dreams. We used to get stuff shipped in like these wooden containers from the UK for my parents business. And they were like six feet on a side. And we made, we would, we would knock. They were just kind of throw away fur wood. And we would cut holes inside and put a door there and then connect them and make like a fort in the backyard. That is, that is some prime fort material as a child. It was like having infinite stacks of pallets basically. Yeah. Yeah. I always thought, what if we dug a hole and buried a couple of these? And then we'd have an underground space underneath the fort that was like that. And my parents were like, no, we're not putting you in a hole because that's how people die, you know, trenching problems. But anyway. Okay. So it's not about me digging a hole. That's the, the unthinkable is not that. You got any other guesses what the unthinkable is? |
| 3:10.1 | I think I heard you say the words pull request at the beginning of which, which, you know, for certain definitions of unthinkable, I think qualifies. I never thought I'd be a pull request guy. Man, you beat me to it. I know. I almost submitted my first pull request like a month ago and somebody actually beat me, somebody beat me to it there also like they found the same issue that I did. |
| 3:10.9 | Yeah. |
| 3:27.0 | And. pull request like a month ago and somebody actually beat me somebody beat me to it there also like they found the same issue that I did yeah and they filed the pull request before I did so like maybe best of both worlds because now the thing's getting fixed and I didn't have to deal with it so we talked yeah that that's much better than having to figure it like I had to look up I had to it was like that scene in an office space like, how do you launder money and they looked it up in the dictionary or whatever? And I was, it was basically the equivalent of, you know, how do you make a pull request? So, okay, set the stage. What's the project? What was the bug? How did you fix it? So the problem is that I have an AIO water cooler in my system. Oh, I know where I think I know where this is going because I saw you asking about building kernel modules on the full nerd discord. |
| 3:44.0 | Yep. |
| 3:44.6 | And. AIO water cooler in my system. Oh, I think I know where this is going because I saw you asking about building kernel modules on the full nerd discord. |
| 3:44.0 | Yep. |
| 3:44.6 | And they are lightly supported by a bunch of different projects. |
| 3:49.4 | HWMON has some support. |
| 3:51.2 | Liquid control has some support. |
| 3:52.7 | But there's a process by which new hardware is supported. |
| 3:55.9 | It usually starts in liquid control. |
| 3:57.8 | And then somebody kind of ports whatever reverse engineering or whatever like |
