07:14:10 PMDonBatman RobbieF Question - Did you crash the Enterprise?
07:14:25 PMABQTKY fking, Ontario is our approximate pronunciation for Onda-ree-O...beautiful lake.

07:14:50 PMfking Yes it is.
07:14:55 PMSparklyballs oh yeah, rdiff-backup, got it flying of sorts backing up linuxserver jenkins box.

07:21:26 PMGuest_7146 Your ROKU live stream is not working.
07:22:15 PMSparklyballs Guest_7146: there are temporary issues with migration to a new server for the feed, you can watch through the website at https://live.cat5.tv/
07:24:08 PMGuest_7146 Thank you Sparklyballs
07:25:41 PMdooley_da_vulcan if you get a warning from an antivirus that you are not running, chances are real good it is a virus or malware installer or the like.
07:26:12 PMdooley_da_vulcan I have had so many people tell me they had an antivirus come up and say you are infected click here to clean.
07:26:17 PMdooley_da_vulcan NOOOOO
07:26:20 PMdooley_da_vulcan dont click
07:26:22 PMlifeofpi my libreoffice is slow on ubuntumate any way to fix this
07:29:16 PMdooley_da_vulcan extra cost up front once is better than post processing on each video
07:30:06 PMlifeofpi anyone use ubuntumate
07:30:23 PMdooley_da_vulcan lots of us do, I just have no issues with the speed
07:30:46 PMdooley_da_vulcan what sys specs
07:31:39 PMABQTKY Using Ubuntu Mate here in the desert southwest. Seems fine here...including LibreOffice!
07:31:39 PMlifeofpi i just do on libreoffice
07:31:46 PMnapa_polarbear ext hard say root, how to change
07:32:14 PMdooley_da_vulcan ought oh, he froze
07:32:17 PMABQTKY Woops, video and audio froze!
07:32:23 PMBobK54 derp
07:32:44 PMlifeofpi look at that face
07:32:46 PMSparklyballs was just about to ask if it was just me with the freezing, clearly not.
07:33:20 PMnapa_polarbear back on
07:33:28 PMalbertr jebb
07:36:18 PMalbertr use "pwgen" on your terminal to genarate strog password
07:37:14 PMalbertr !strong
07:39:37 PMSparklyballs and they're volvos, so they'll cause accidents rather than have them
07:39:53 PMdooley_da_vulcan still froze???
07:40:05 PMalbertr not here?
07:40:13 PMDennis_Kelley can you still get to the first website?
07:40:20 PMalbertr yes
07:40:31 PMalbertr go to https://live.cat5.tv/
07:41:38 PMDennis_Kelley info.cern.ch - Kind of plain! JK
07:42:07 PMSparklyballs Dennis_Kelley: this web thing will never catch on.
07:42:20 PMDennis_Kelley its a Fad
07:43:28 PMSoundPro69 No issues here today!
07:44:33 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF just bought some things last week! New Raspberry Pi 3
07:45:31 PMdooley_da_vulcan making a group up of people using this FAD thing called the interweb
07:49:31 PMdooley_da_vulcan I would think the RPI3 fine, especially only streaming one stream at a time
07:49:34 PMSparklyballs you might be able to dlna to the xbox from plex
07:53:42 PMdooley_da_vulcan Your RPI3 with PLEX SERVER becomes basically netflix service and you still use the PLEX client or app on your devices to connect to it and play
07:54:14 PMDennis_Kelley Hi
07:54:14 PMSoundPro69 Hi there
07:54:26 PMdooley_da_vulcan Hello
07:54:29 PMSparklyballs do a search for plex on the docker hub, sort by downloads and check out the most downloaded
07:54:32 PMalbertr Hi
07:55:31 PMSparklyballs protip , don't use the back button in the livetv web window....
07:55:38 PMdooley_da_vulcan been using plex since before it was offered anywhere. I had to hunt around about 3 years ago to find something to stream my media on my roku. after a month I found plex and have been in heaven since
07:57:15 PMdooley_da_vulcan What happened Sparklyballs
07:57:44 PMSparklyballs went to the site i was on that tab before watching the feed.
07:58:22 PMSparklyballs i thought the video feed had froze again until i realised my mess up.
07:58:24 PMdooley_da_vulcan ah hell, needs to be the only site on the tab lol Iearned the hardway
07:59:31 PMdooley_da_vulcan @RobbieF he can just buy that new Seagate 60TB SSD HDD
07:59:43 PMalbertr :)
07:59:56 PMdooley_da_vulcan and share space with us all
08:00:22 PMalbertr and use rdiff--backup for all of us
08:00:33 PMdooley_da_vulcan yeah there you go
08:00:49 PMdooley_da_vulcan albertr: do you use rdiff backup yourself?
08:01:00 PMalbertr yes I do
08:01:36 PMSparklyballs i started using rdiff-backup last week, few things to sort with the includes/excludes
08:01:40 PMalbertr best free bavkup I've ever had
08:01:49 PMalbertr "backup
08:01:55 PMdooley_da_vulcan I asked RobbieF a ? that you may be able to answer. when restoring does it restore your first full with whatever subsequent backup you want to restore?
08:02:06 PMSparklyballs running it in a docker on my unraid box, backing up jenkins server
08:02:28 PMdooley_da_vulcan like if you have a main original and say 10 additional backups of differences. and pic the say 8th
08:03:00 PMalbertr you can list increaments on wich day you want to restore from
08:03:29 PMdooley_da_vulcan does it restore the main. then will the subsequent backups be differences from main to each backup or from each subsequent to the next subsequent
08:04:07 PMdooley_da_vulcan like main then diff to the next then diff to the next and so on and so on
08:04:15 PMalbertr I am not shure about how it works on that maybe RobbieF can ansver on that
08:05:08 PMSparklyballs i haven't looked at restore options on rdiff-backup yet, just wanted to get some kind of backup in place for our stuff.
08:05:21 PMSparklyballs hopefully never need it, but you never know.
08:05:38 PMdooley_da_vulcan or main then diffs from main to each subsequent. so conceivably each subsequent backup would have the same differences as the first and second and third and any new in the fourth
08:05:51 PMDennis_Kelley looks like we are going over tonight!
08:05:52 PMalbertr good
08:06:31 PMDonBatman You are doing Great!
08:06:50 PMdooley_da_vulcan its me RobbieF
08:09:54 PMalbertr does this ansver? http://searchdatabackup.techtarget.com/answer/How-rdiff-backup-works
08:10:17 PMdooley_da_vulcan Thank you
08:10:56 PMdooley_da_vulcan The user Manager is all I could use
08:11:12 PMdooley_da_vulcan I believe it did
08:11:28 PMdooley_da_vulcan Thanks @RobbieF
08:12:30 PMdooley_da_vulcan thanks @albertr
08:13:49 PMdooley_da_vulcan I just found out that AT&T in my area is running fiber down behind my house. will offer gigabit service for $90 a month
08:16:02 PMdooley_da_vulcan this is Fiber to the house actually. and with a 12 month contract no data limit
08:16:50 PMalbertr thanks @RobbieF for the show.
08:17:00 PMRobbieF Night all! Thanks for jjoining me!
08:17:01 PMSparklyballs nite all
08:17:03 PMRobbieF Hope the feed was good!
08:17:17 PMfking Good night all.
08:17:18 PMBobK54 IT'S ALIVE!!!! :)
08:17:20 PMdooley_da_vulcan Thanks @Robbie for the show and the questions you addressed.
08:17:22 PMBobK54 night
08:17:24 PMDennis_Kelley great Job RobbieF
08:17:27 PMRobbieF :) Thank you.
08:17:28 PMSoundPro69 Great job Robbie!
08:17:32 PMRobbieF Cheers!
08:17:45 PMSoundPro69 Bye bye everyone
08:17:49 PMfking The feed worked great.
08:18:03 PMRobbieF oh I'm so glad to hear that
08:18:03 PMdooley_da_vulcan The plex pass offers user accounts like netflix does. that is the only thing I really could see useful.
08:18:08 PMSoundPro69 Awesome quality today indeed!
08:18:17 PMDennis_Kelley RobbieF what SJCAM do you use?
08:18:42 PMGuest_1753 Good job Robbie, I really enjoy what you're doing with this show.
08:19:20 PMRobbieF Thanks Guest_1753
08:19:42 PMRobbieF Dennis_Kelley I use a SJ4000 Wifi on my headcam and an SJ5000X on my drone.
08:21:00 PMdooley_da_vulcan Great show. What kind of savings could you have with a Gigabit service for $90 or so a month? I have seen different offers of it for $45-$100 a month. I am sure the cheaper ones are with data limits
08:22:09 PMRobbieF That would be great savings, but we do not have that type of service available here.
08:22:22 PMdooley_da_vulcan If It gets available to me here I will permanently seed the show
08:22:33 PMRobbieF That'd be amazing, thanks!
08:22:36 PMdooley_da_vulcan a few of us with that options and you would be cooking
08:22:49 PMRobbieF yep
08:23:26 PMdooley_da_vulcan They are using fixed lengths of Fiber with premade ends and run to the house and to the modem I guess.
08:23:46 PMdooley_da_vulcan dedicated. no need to throttle anything. from you to the backbone....
08:24:06 PMdooley_da_vulcan just attatch to connections at the utility line
08:24:25 PMdooley_da_vulcan no more polishing and splicing on the site
08:24:30 PMdooley_da_vulcan or a lot less
08:28:14 PMdooley_da_vulcan @RobbieF maybe allow people who opt in, to contact each other on the plex viewer map. Ways to allow those close to one another to interact
08:28:27 PMdooley_da_vulcan not plex
08:28:36 PMdooley_da_vulcan cat5 viewer map
08:28:49 PMdooley_da_vulcan reading and typing
08:29:18 PMRobbieF Like a 24/7 chat room. :)
08:30:33 PMdooley_da_vulcan yeah, I can see 3 in Indianapolis and 3 others in surrounding towns
08:31:29 PMdooley_da_vulcan A way for viewers and users to use the site throughout the week and give and receive help throughout the week. could be great
08:32:09 PMdooley_da_vulcan go to viewer map click your town and possibly a radius in miles.
08:32:09 PMRobbieF perhaps one day. We tried a forum for a while and unfortunately it failed
08:32:41 PMdooley_da_vulcan its wild how some things die repeatedly and then suddenly take off all of a sudden
08:33:25 PMRobbieF let's see if we can get folks to participate more in Patreon first :)
08:33:36 PMRobbieF That'd help!!
08:33:45 PMdooley_da_vulcan here is something for the younger ones that think us older people do not know their abbreviated chats. We created and used it in BBS chats decades ago
08:34:33 PMRobbieF :)
08:34:40 PMRobbieF While playing door games.
08:34:53 PMdooley_da_vulcan brb afk l8r I used these in 86 I think
08:35:13 PMRobbieF :)
08:35:16 PMRobbieF i may be gone
08:35:20 PMRobbieF doing post and then heading home for supper
08:35:31 PMdooley_da_vulcan I had a 16 line BBS I called into all the time. payed for credits
08:35:42 PMdooley_da_vulcan never ran one though
08:35:52 PMdooley_da_vulcan Good luck with the Post Processing
08:36:02 PMRobbieF thanks
08:36:03 PMRobbieF :)
08:36:08 PMRobbieF I ran a bbs for many years
08:36:41 PMdooley_da_vulcan was it credit based
08:36:53 PMRobbieF credit?
08:37:37 PMdooley_da_vulcan you paid the sysop like 20 for 10,000 credits of time that the software kept track of. you had other ways to win credits
08:37:49 PMdooley_da_vulcan if you were friends well you got freebies too
08:37:53 PMRobbieF neah we had no credit system setup
08:37:58 PMRobbieF it was 100% free
08:38:06 PMdooley_da_vulcan how many line
08:38:11 PMRobbieF 2
08:38:35 PMdooley_da_vulcan AH I bet the hardware for 16 line was pricey
08:38:45 PMdooley_da_vulcan that is why they asked for money
08:38:58 PMRobbieF oh yeah
08:39:00 PMRobbieF that's pro
08:39:36 PMdooley_da_vulcan folks used to type in the chat room "10,000 credits to the first 3 to hit ALT+H"
08:39:46 PMRobbieF lol
08:39:56 PMdooley_da_vulcan of course the room would empty quickly
08:40:11 PMdooley_da_vulcan that was so mean
08:40:33 PMdooley_da_vulcan some fell for it multiple times
08:45:56 PMdooley_da_vulcan You might consider categorized donations if possible. you know raise funds for feature a or feature b. that way what ever it is that viewers want to pay to get it may actually get the funds for it if they think it will actually get them the feature they need want?
08:47:31 PMdooley_da_vulcan donations for try it buy it just for merchandise. donations for just show costs? of course the show comes first because no show no extras. but that might generate more viewers for overall donations
08:49:11 PMRobbieF https://donate.category5.tv has something similar
08:53:55 PMdooley_da_vulcan DO! you might mention it in the show. and maybe even put in a place for suggestions and votes so after so many votes you can add it to the official list of destinations.
08:54:13 PMdooley_da_vulcan I know
08:54:49 PMdooley_da_vulcan you dont have enough to do already :)
09:02:46 PMdooley_da_vulcan Good night all and Good Night @RobbieF, great show and will look for you next week and look for anything from TIM with the Plex questions. Thanks
