25-08-19 02:03:42: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: F you, C and C++ and your asinine inability to share function pointers syntax!
25-08-19 11:00:10: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact of the Day: It would take seven billion particles of fog to fill a teaspoon.
25-08-19 11:00:21: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: Isn't 'fog' just water vapor?
25-08-19 19:38:24: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: Ah reckon it's worth watching the new Snow White, since it's got Gal Gadot in it.

25-08-20 11:17:04: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Qwer (Archipelago in I3)@Iberia: My question is will programming languages change because of chat bots?
25-08-20 11:17:51: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Bam (ShadowMUD in I3)@Iberia: Could AI be used to create a new custom programming language?
25-08-20 11:19:34: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Qwer (Archipelago in I3)@Iberia: I thought they did that on a daily basis!
25-08-20 11:27:33: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: yes
25-08-20 11:27:42: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: lots of things will change to accomodate AI
25-08-20 11:27:48: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: our systems are largely designed to be managed by humans
25-08-20 11:27:56: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: whereas they could be adjusted to be more machine driven.
25-08-20 11:28:37: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i saw some dickhead post on linkedin about how he created a new programmign language with AI
25-08-20 11:28:39: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: except he didn't
25-08-20 11:28:45: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: he created a spec sheet
25-08-20 11:29:03: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: if you can't run the code, you ain't created shit.
25-08-20 11:29:08: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Bam (ShadowMUD in I3)@Iberia: bit it's probably just a matter of time, right?
25-08-20 11:29:17: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: It takes a lot of coddling.
25-08-20 11:29:38: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Bam (ShadowMUD in I3)@Iberia: interesting
25-08-20 11:29:54: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: it's good at shitting out toy stuff
25-08-20 11:30:00: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: but real work takes a lot of guidance.
25-08-20 11:30:43: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Bam (ShadowMUD in I3)@Iberia: AI sounds like a toddler right now
25-08-20 11:30:55: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: I mean but its a toddler with the sum knowledge of humanity
25-08-20 11:31:43: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Qwer (Archipelago in I3)@Iberia: I've yet to see it do anything of complexity that didn't require the operator to know it beforehand.
25-08-20 11:31:58: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: lots of dumbasses have gotten real work out of it with no idea.
25-08-20 11:32:53: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Bam (ShadowMUD in I3)@Iberia: hmmm
25-08-20 11:35:21: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Qwer (Archipelago in I3)@Iberia: Yeah, if you have no idea at all then it's a great enabler.
25-08-20 11:37:08: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Qwer (Archipelago in I3)@Iberia: I'm wondering if it's possible to write "the complete art of computer programming" so that AIs can do better.
25-08-20 11:37:32: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: it's a great enabler even if you know what you are doing
25-08-20 11:37:35: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: it saves me shitloads of time
25-08-20 11:37:40: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i have it rough things out for me a lot
25-08-20 11:37:46: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: then i go in and fix them
25-08-20 11:38:08: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: it's super useful for things that would take me like 60-90 minutes of mostly typing.
25-08-20 11:38:15: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: scripts, one offs, etc.
25-08-20 11:38:32: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Qwer (Archipelago in I3)@Iberia: Right - so it's in a typing-heavy situation.
25-08-20 11:47:23: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Viriato@Iberia: stop talking and get to work!
25-08-20 12:27:36: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: fuck off, mate.
25-08-20 12:27:43: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: planning on resigning today
25-08-20 13:09:26: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: heh
25-08-20 13:09:34: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: jealousy is a bad thing
25-08-20 13:09:40: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: you have no idea about how the rest of my shit is going.
25-08-20 13:09:52: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: like i have a second job, so i'll just be down to one.
25-08-20 13:09:58: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: not like i'm retiring or anything.
25-08-20 13:19:24: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: in less than a year of double jobbing, i've saved 10 years worth of savings.
25-08-20 13:19:28: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: our society is fucked.
25-08-20 13:20:31: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: if i had competently invested it the whole year, i'd have even more.
25-08-20 13:20:36: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: instead of it rotting in a savings account
25-08-20 13:21:31: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: all my investment accounts are monitored by the job i'm about to quit tho, and i didn't want them seeing me dump massive amounts of cash in new non-taxable accounts.
25-08-20 13:57:16: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Viriato@Iberia: J is rude
25-08-20 13:58:43: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Viriato@Iberia: do you have enough time to two jobs? both computer related?
25-08-20 13:59:06: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Viriato@Iberia: have... had... not sure at this time of the day
25-08-20 14:03:12: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: Both are engineering positions
25-08-20 14:03:18: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: one is pretty bullshit
25-08-20 14:03:40: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: basically a welfare job, but the RTO shit is making me sever.
25-08-20 14:04:01: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: I would rather work the harder job which makes less bullshit demands on me and focus on building my own thing.
25-08-20 14:04:11: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: downside is i lose healthcare
25-08-20 14:04:24: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: at least until i've got my own ting big enough to pay it.
25-08-20 14:07:42: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: Check out NASE for your healthcare and other services.
25-08-20 14:07:48: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: who is that?
25-08-20 14:08:28: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: hmm
25-08-20 14:08:30: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: maybe i will
25-08-20 14:08:37: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i def need some help
25-08-20 14:08:41: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i've got osme potential partners lined up
25-08-20 14:09:09: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i need to figure out the SBA
25-08-20 14:09:18: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: these things will be easier when i'm not so overemployed
25-08-20 14:27:28: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: NASE is "National Association for the Self-Employeed".  It's an organization you join and get group rates.  I had it for when I had my own consulting company
25-08-20 14:30:23: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: By joining NASE, you can get group rates for healthcare.
25-08-20 14:39:04: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: what about my employees?
25-08-20 14:39:12: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: can i cover them too?
25-08-20 14:39:35: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i really need out of state insurance because texas is a fucking hellscape nightmare.
25-08-20 14:41:59: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: Possibly, it's been over 15 years since I dealt with them so it's possible
25-08-20 14:42:29: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: Reach out to them and see how it can help
25-08-20 15:10:20: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: Looks like they are for business with 10 or less employees.
25-08-20 15:11:26: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: https://www.nase.org/about-us/about-the-nase
25-08-20 15:54:09: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Viriato@Iberia: I'm having more and more will to have my own job too
25-08-20 19:41:02: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: do it
25-08-21 15:04:15: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact of the Day: A Hershey's kiss contains 16 calories, which takes about five minutes of walking or four minutes of kissing to burn off.
25-08-21 15:04:29: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: What kind of kissing are people doing that it's almost the same as walking?
25-08-21 21:09:33: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: guess it depends on wot's being kissed.
25-08-21 21:09:58: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: dirty minds.  I was thinking of a moose.
25-08-22 11:49:59: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Facts of the Day: Eagle eyes are at least four times sharper than human eyes.
25-08-22 11:53:38: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Araska (Astaria in I3)@Iberia: I lied, it's not a revised fact of the day. but it is a fact, and it's neat.
25-08-22 11:59:31: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Wodan (Discworld in I3)@Iberia: which human? if I don't wear my glasses that's a really low bar
25-08-22 12:24:31: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: True, I'm in the same boat as you, Wodan.
25-08-23 14:01:33: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact of the Day: There is no area in Japan that is more than 100 miles from the sea.
25-08-23 15:08:50: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Wodan (Discworld in I3)@Iberia: 70 miles for the UK it seems
25-08-25 11:25:16: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact of the Day: When we are born our eyes are almost full size, but our nose and ears never stop growing.
25-08-25 11:52:48: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: this seems like a stale fact
25-08-25 12:01:09: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: I agree.
25-08-25 12:02:26: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: How difficult is it to ask that they come up with OMG facts that people who post on intermud chat lines for the past 3 years so that we don't have to rehash these tired out facts.
25-08-25 12:07:31: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i mean it's not easy to come up and maintain huge lists of random facts
25-08-25 12:07:36: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: or maybe it is.  i do not actually know
25-08-25 12:12:23: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: also if you're not burning more calories by kissing than walking, you're doing it wrong.
25-08-25 21:00:09: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: Nice... got my LoRa module working with my setup and getting the range I was hoping for.  It's a LoRa UART module to make the programming easier, but works for now.
25-08-25 23:47:37: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: interesting - somebody makes LoRa HATS for RPi - got me tempted.
25-08-25 23:57:00: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i have not done any lora
25-08-25 23:57:01: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: https://www.youtube.com/live/dwC9sr6GEUk?si=qaNNfsKwGZlBVa9f
25-08-25 23:57:09: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i am always down to fuck with anything rf
25-08-25 23:59:26: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: the biggest problem with ham radio is how damn boring it is
25-08-25 23:59:31: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: you are capped on bandwidth
25-08-25 23:59:36: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: everybody is older than ninja
25-08-26 00:00:09: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i do enjoy contesting tho
25-08-26 00:00:16: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: but it's rare that i will bother to set shit up for that
25-08-26 11:16:21: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact of the Day:  The hair dryer was the offspring of two unrelated inventions, the vacuum cleaner and the blender.
25-08-26 11:24:10: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: For my use-case, I only need to transfer bytes of data per second.  Each message is small, generally 32 bytes or less, and there isn't a significant amount of chatter (maybe 10 messages a second).
25-08-26 11:24:30: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: What I did need was something that had good range (100s of meters) and LoRa seemed to do it.
25-08-26 11:24:57: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: I have also found that there are dev boards with LoRa built in.  There are those with screens too, but I really don't need those
25-08-26 11:33:27: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: I've been looking at doing a local MESH system and this LoRa addon seems like a good fit.
25-08-26 11:34:19: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: For your case, I'm blanking on the names now, but I stumbled on a system designed for home automation that is designed for many small messages, and has a subscribe publish format.
25-08-26 11:34:51: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: ZigBee?
25-08-26 11:35:47: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: Not positive, but that sounds right.
25-08-26 11:36:00: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: This is the module I got: https://a.co/d/fWZ8fx0
25-08-26 11:36:48: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: With it being LoRa  UART interface, wiring and coding was easier than many of the other things I was playing with.
25-08-26 11:38:19: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: Here's a dev board I found that has it all built in: https://heltec.org/project/wireless-stick-lite-v2/
25-08-26 11:38:39: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: I have some heltec boards with the OLED built in too, but haven't programmed that one yet
25-08-26 11:40:11: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: I never understood (or liked) how a single pin can be used in multiple functions.
25-08-26 12:52:34: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: the screens show your AMMO LEVEL
25-08-26 12:52:39: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: lora is super slow
25-08-26 12:52:51: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: there is ZigBee and Z-Wave for home automation.  Both are also slow and localized.
25-08-26 12:53:27: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: define 'used for multiple functions'
25-08-26 12:53:50: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: they are muxed internally, so one pin might be muxed to the PWM generator and the i2c controller and the sd card.
25-08-26 12:53:54: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: but you configure that through software.
25-08-26 13:20:06: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: When you look at the pinouts for any of these boards, you'll often see multiple functions associated with the pin.  For example, if I wanted to use pin 2 for something (it's usually assigned to PIN_LED), I now have a flashing LED on my board
25-08-26 13:21:56: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: yeah so you end up not using pin2 because it's in use for the system led.
25-08-26 13:22:36: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: it's worse when you want to use the two functions that are bound to a pin at the same time, but they are only bound to the one pin :middle_finger:
25-08-26 13:22:47: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: aka you cant get fucked
25-08-26 13:22:53: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: pick a different soc
25-08-26 13:54:21: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: That's what I'm generally referring to.  PIN_LED was a simple visual example.
25-08-27 11:40:59: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact of the Day: It is estimated that the whole surface of the earth could be covered with all the salt found in the ocean.
25-08-28 02:38:39: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Q@Mongoose: Life’s better with friends. Even if you’re a paper turkey.
25-08-28 15:37:48: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Cratylus (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i used to think that the oceans were freshwater originally and only later got salty
25-08-28 15:58:33: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Viriato@Iberia: due to cods
25-08-28 18:20:58: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact of the Day: A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top.
25-08-28 18:23:35: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The reason this happens is basically the bubbles attach to the raisin, lifting it up until the raisin hits the surface, in which the attached bubbles escape, leaving the raisin to sink again and collect more bubbles.
25-08-28 18:26:37: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: lots of surface area on a raisin
25-08-28 18:26:40: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: what about a mentos
25-08-28 18:29:58: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: I'm sure it's fine.  Drop a few in there.
25-08-28 19:10:26: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: I'm planning to not be around tomorrow so I'm giving you the OMG Fact for tomorrow (Friday, August 29)
25-08-28 19:10:47: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: The OMG Fact for Friday, August 29: The loudest natural sound on Earth is of a volcano eruption.
25-08-28 19:11:19: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: i believe that
25-08-28 19:11:28: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: wait, vs a nuclear explosion?
25-08-28 19:11:32: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Joshua (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: oh natural.
25-08-28 19:28:13: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Krem (Rise of Praxis in I3)@Iberia: I was a bit surprised, until I thought about it more and can't really see something else making more noise.  A catastrophic earthquake?  I don't think it makes that much noise as it's ground shift vs a complete explosion.
25-08-28 23:24:48: grapewinebot-gvgossip-gossip: Ninja (Dead Souls Dev in I3)@Iberia: from wot i've read, even the Tsar Bomba wasn't as loud as Krakatoa.  But a nuke also releases most energy as light and radiation, so they're not easy to compare.
