| 6:59:44 PM | ABQTKY | Wow, things seem so calm, organized and peaceful in Studio D tonight, SashaD
|
| 6:59:54 PM | agamotto | Just got back from visiting the grandparents for a few days. The joys of vacation.
|
| 6:59:56 PM | SashaD | They sure do :)
|
| 7:01:16 PM | agamotto | RobbieF: sounds good here, scratchiness went away
|
| 7:01:35 PM | sparklyballs | hola
|
| 7:02:31 PM | sparklyballs | the only difference here in the last few weeks is slightly warmer rain
|
| 7:02:50 PM | agamotto | sparklyballs: good thing?
|
| 7:03:10 PM | sparklyballs | not warm enough for a shower, lol
|
| 7:03:49 PM | agamotto | Wow... my refund check is already here... that took less than a week!
|
| 7:04:12 PM | sparklyballs | bad news SashaD , i have new glasses and it's like 4k effect for my eyes, lol.
|
| 7:04:36 PM | agamotto | Well, if the government would raise the speed limit higher than 60...
|
| 7:04:37 PM | SashaD | no.. that's bad news
|
| 7:04:51 PM | agamotto | sparklyballs: 4k effect?
|
| 7:05:17 PM | sparklyballs | i can see, lol
|
| 7:05:51 PM | agamotto | sparklyballs: Ahh, so you are being startled by all the dust and stuff around you?
|
| 7:05:54 PM | SashaD | yep... but 4k is way too much!
|
| 7:06:15 PM | SashaD | I'm way better blurry :)
|
| 7:07:00 PM | sparklyballs | not too shabby looking SashaD
|
| 7:08:03 PM | agamotto | Sounds like fun
|
| 7:09:00 PM | sparklyballs | i see it with my glasses now
|
| 7:09:11 PM | agamotto | bigly!
|
| 7:09:15 PM | stormchaser3000 | hello
|
| 7:10:16 PM | sparklyballs | hi stormchaser3000
|
| 7:11:10 PM | agamotto | RobbieF: Watch it with that middle finger, dude!
|
| 7:11:36 PM | sparklyballs | i've seen tutorials adding hdd for storage to RPI
|
| 7:11:43 PM | alpeck | can you not just copy with 'dd' then 'gparted' to expand the partition
|
| 7:12:51 PM | SashaD | I'm pretty sure this is going to end well :):)
|
| 7:13:21 PM | sparklyballs | i like the black case on the pi
|
| 7:13:31 PM | agamotto | You only need ethernet if you are trying to connect an etherbunny...
|
| 7:13:40 PM | SashaD | thank you sparklyballs!
|
| 7:13:56 PM | SashaD | bahahahaha agamotto
|
| 7:15:48 PM | agamotto | FAT16? Ick
|
| 7:16:11 PM | sparklyballs | fat16 for the boot partition
|
| 7:16:20 PM | agamotto | Ok, but still...
|
| 7:18:16 PM | agamotto | Yes, that miniature Amiga will run better w/o the game running... chuckle
|
| 7:18:46 PM | sparklyballs | RobbieF that ? in the dock would drive me nuts, lol
|
| 7:20:00 PM | sparklyballs | write a book, lol
|
| 7:21:16 PM | agamotto | I did not know that... I would have thought that ext2 or something would be preferred, as it would be free to use
|
| 7:21:48 PM | agamotto | Which is why so many of us no longer bother with Windows...
|
| 7:22:03 PM | sparklyballs | pie makes you fat
|
| 7:22:03 PM | alpeck | RobbieF: can you recommend a good wireless AC usb adapter for Raspberry Pi. I realize I will never appreciate to speed benefits of wireless AC but don't want to be tied to wireless N.
|
| 7:22:03 PM | alpeck | ^the
|
| 7:22:24 PM | stormchaser3000 | linux is awesome
|
| 7:23:42 PM | sparklyballs | SashaD it is speeding up
|
| 7:24:44 PM | alpeck | everybody concentrate...the power of the force
|
| 7:27:20 PM | stormchaser3000 | RobbieF, have you ever tried running arch linux on a rpi before?
|
| 7:28:37 PM | agamotto | RobbieF: How are things coming with the fund-raising?
|
| 7:29:15 PM | sparklyballs | arch have a 64bit image for the RPI3
|
| 7:29:36 PM | agamotto | Let's face it, after awhile you get tired of having to relearn how to fix the wheel...
|
| 7:32:36 PM | agamotto | Sounds like it just tried to spank you
|
| 7:33:07 PM | sparklyballs | lol live tv
|
| 7:33:56 PM | agamotto | Verily
|
| 7:34:17 PM | alpeck | fireup gparted
|
| 7:34:19 PM | agamotto | fdisk ?
|
| 7:34:44 PM | sparklyballs | fsck
|
| 7:35:04 PM | agamotto | Did you forget the -fat32 switch when formatting?
|
| 7:35:16 PM | sparklyballs | uid 1000 is pi
|
| 7:35:31 PM | agamotto | Ahh
|
| 7:35:51 PM | stormchaser3000 | have you tried formating it as ext4 or would that not work with raspberry pi?
|
| 7:35:55 PM | agamotto | Does your .deb OS default to ext4?
|
| 7:36:26 PM | agamotto | Ok, so much for that
|
| 7:36:29 PM | alpeck | is it possible sda1 is a reserved word
|
| 7:36:47 PM | BobK54 | diversity? :)
|
| 7:36:59 PM | agamotto | How does that work? Sounds like something encryption would try
|
| 7:37:51 PM | agamotto | So, how does one tell the ext4 driver to switch to ext3?
|
| 7:38:25 PM | agamotto | Sounds likely
|
| 7:38:29 PM | dooley | a stray cosmic ray during formatting
|
| 7:38:44 PM | sparklyballs | format it as ext4
|
| 7:39:28 PM | agamotto | Wow... scrambled eggs
|
| 7:39:57 PM | sparklyballs | does the drive have silly software from kingston when it's formatted ext3 ?
|
| 7:43:03 PM | RobbieF | \o
|
| 7:43:20 PM | agamotto | SashaD: I suppose that all depends on how awake/aware you have to be to do your job :0
|
| 7:43:22 PM | alpeck | this is great...this is how we all learn
|
| 7:44:11 PM | alpeck | maybe there is a problem with the sd card or carrier
|
| 7:44:11 PM | sparklyballs | suse tumbleweed ?
|
| 7:44:23 PM | BobK54 | reality TV!!! Life happens
|
| 7:44:24 PM | agamotto | Nah, just start playing "Thus also sprach Zarathrustra'
|
| 7:45:32 PM | BobK54 | I've used an HP low-level formatting tool on windows to save cards with problems
|
| 7:47:58 PM | sparklyballs | some not so super blocks ?
|
| 7:49:58 PM | alpeck | lets do the news SashaD
|
| 7:50:11 PM | BobK54 | it'll be a 15 minute show after editing. :)
|
| 7:50:17 PM | sparklyballs | first item on the news, the sd card is finished
|
| 7:51:18 PM | dooley | HAL 9000 could lip read
|
| 7:52:37 PM | RobbieF | hehe, sorry for the slow feature tonight folks!
|
| 7:52:54 PM | agamotto | RobbieF: Proof that not everything goes smoothly
|
| 7:54:22 PM | BobK54 | RobbieF: it makes us mere mortals feel better to see you having issues occassionally. THANKS!!
|
| 7:54:49 PM | ABQTKY | Good point, BobK54!!
|
| 7:55:42 PM | RobbieF | :D Thanks. Although it is a REALLY GREAT feature and deserves to go well.
|
| 7:55:46 PM | RobbieF | I think this card may be bad
|
| 7:56:36 PM | RobbieF | it worked!!
|
| 7:56:41 PM | RobbieF | was a bad format.
|
| 7:57:27 PM | agamotto | eeek
|
| 8:01:03 PM | SashaD | I'm so happy that it worked... Robbie rocks!!!
|
| 8:01:22 PM | agamotto | An amiga folder... sigh
|
| 8:03:13 PM | agamotto | Yes, but finally a show where things actually go wrong. Users get to see how to deal with the unexpected!!!!!
|
| 8:03:32 PM | sparklyballs | ugh, wrong window, lol
|
| 8:03:48 PM | SashaD | I truly appreciate that you are all so supportive :)
|
| 8:03:50 PM | garywhite | What did I miss? My internet is wonky, so I can't get the video to work right without freezing
|
| 8:04:13 PM | sparklyballs | garywhite basically nothing working for RobbieF
|
| 8:04:36 PM | agamotto | Drat
|
| 8:05:10 PM | agamotto | garywhite: formatting a 128Gb SD card to use as storage for games with a retroPi
|
| 8:06:05 PM | dooley | I have had sandisk cards go bad from device 1 to device 2 and it causes you to search all kinds of problems. When it is the card unexpectedly of course
|
| 8:07:41 PM | dooley | true tech show that is not a setup to promote ones own ability but truth in tech exploration
|
| 8:07:45 PM | dooley | YAY
|
| 8:07:54 PM | ABQTKY | The pi is USB2, so that's also kind of slow.
|
| 8:08:21 PM | agamotto | Exactly
|
| 8:08:35 PM | dooley | correct SashaD and the normal people feel bad at times when something goes bad
|
| 8:08:51 PM | alpeck | better pretest before next week RobbieF
|
| 8:09:08 PM | alpeck | still might be the usb carrier
|
| 8:09:09 PM | dooley | Nobody can screw up a computer like someone with skills....lol
|
| 8:09:20 PM | garywhite | I've never had an issue with a Sandisk card, but I'd be lenient about buying an SSD from them
|
| 8:09:22 PM | alpeck | well said dooley
|
| 8:09:28 PM | BobK54 | night! still a fun show!
|
| 8:09:43 PM | alpeck | great show
|
| 8:09:50 PM | stormchaser3000 | oh well. it was a good show
|
| 8:09:54 PM | alpeck | lets see how fast it formats
|
| 8:09:56 PM | agamotto | Think about how many people are relieved that things actually go wrong for you as well!
|
| 8:09:57 PM | sparklyballs | i spent all last night trying to get jenkins to reconnect to remote slaves because of the update to ssh slaves plugin had a new protection against mitm that broked it cos it didn't like ECDSA
|
| 8:10:16 PM | dooley | It will format faster than you think. in the pi
|
| 8:10:18 PM | SashaD | in the pi, or on the laptop?
|
| 8:10:39 PM | dooley | if its a class 10 then it should format fairly fast
|
| 8:11:03 PM | dooley | class 10 is 10 meg a second
|
| 8:11:53 PM | sparklyballs | to be continued........
|
| 8:12:13 PM | SashaD | Thanks dooley :)
|
| 8:12:42 PM | dooley | your welcome SashaD
|
| 8:12:54 PM | dooley | wow
|
| 8:13:04 PM | dooley | so not a class 10?
|
| 8:13:15 PM | dooley | how are they rating the faster cards now?
|
| 8:14:19 PM | garywhite | I have a question: Could you actually build a PC & have your primary HDD as an external HDD?
|
| 8:14:40 PM | dooley | why not as sda ?
|
| 8:15:30 PM | dooley | ah your os is sda and the second card is sdb
|
| 8:15:49 PM | stormchaser3000 | which is better, etc3 or ext4?
|
| 8:15:53 PM | stormchaser3000 | ext3*
|
| 8:16:54 PM | garywhite | (I'm ordering a 120GB external SSD for my PC & I was thinking about turning my old Core2Duo laptop into a ultra small form factor
|
| 8:18:25 PM | sparklyballs | i love that funky green bar on gparted
|
| 8:18:33 PM | dooley | how much faster is this card formatting then the other one did? or said it formatted?
|
| 8:19:08 PM | dooley | any time you are watching a progress bar time slows down
|
| 8:19:25 PM | sparklyballs | ssh dooley i like the green bar
|
| 8:20:06 PM | stormchaser3000 | i am running arch at the moment but i would really like to run FreeBSD on my main system
|
| 8:20:40 PM | dooley | I used to think anyone and everyone could whistle. I never had known anyone who couldn't up to that point in my teen years
|
| 8:21:04 PM | dooley | or at least never tested the fact
|
| 8:21:17 PM | stormchaser3000 | i can't properly whistle
|
| 8:22:06 PM | dooley | it is bad when they want to watch ANYTHING else
|
| 8:22:47 PM | dooley | it's in the verification process?
|
| 8:22:51 PM | agamotto | I generally remind them about some movie/show I watched in the past I wasn't thriled with, yet I sat through that...
|
| 8:23:05 PM | SashaD | You are telling me!! Although he is usually very supportive of all tv choices I make :)
|
| 8:23:53 PM | dooley | maybe the contacts of your adapter have worn slightly thinner and now have issues USB port to USB port?
|
| 8:24:26 PM | dooley | like when your mag strip on a credit card does not work in some locals but do in others
|
| 8:24:50 PM | sparklyballs | i refuse to be blamed
|
| 8:25:03 PM | dooley | that is why the plastic bag over the credit card adds just enough to make it work
|
| 8:26:20 PM | SashaD | You all know this is my fault, not anyone else's :)
|
| 8:26:28 PM | dooley | you passed up so much....lol
|
| 8:27:18 PM | dooley | Montezuma's Revenge (Atari 2600)
|
| 8:27:30 PM | agamotto | Oregon Trail?
|
| 8:27:36 PM | agamotto | Elite?
|
| 8:29:28 PM | SashaD | Okay... goodnight :)
|
| 8:29:46 PM | ABQTKY | RobbieF, so much for a peaceful, relaxed show tonight, eh?
|
| 8:30:12 PM | agamotto | Of course, it's not Scottish!
|
| 8:30:39 PM | dooley | GIGABYTES....lol
|
| 8:31:06 PM | garywhite | Ya know what, I'm gonna build an ultra small form factor PC (or buy one, idk yet) and try to run everything from external disks
|
| 8:31:18 PM | ABQTKY | Actually not 128 of anything tonight. Oh, well, dooley.
|
| 8:32:05 PM | dooley | lol
|
| 8:32:38 PM | SashaD | Good night everyone :):)
|
| 8:32:47 PM | dooley | shows people how to go when it doesnt go as planned.
|
| 8:32:56 PM | sparklyballs | goodnight all
|
| 8:33:09 PM | dooley | Good Night RobbieF and SashaD
|
| 8:34:10 PM | RobbieF | :D
|
| 8:34:18 PM | RobbieF | Wow, what a ... unexpected outcome.
|
| 8:35:14 PM | stormchaser3000 | lol. may have taken the whole show but at least it was interesting to watch the debuging process
|
| 8:35:30 PM | dooley | and for most beginners an unexpected outcome is what most experience often, showing not to freak out is helpful
|
| 8:36:01 PM | dooley | no information is bad, just unexpected
|
| 8:36:04 PM | ABQTKY | RobbieF, when I do stuff, unfortunately this sort of thing is an EXPECTED outcome. 8-(
|
| 8:36:34 PM | dooley | like 100 bad attempts, you at least learn 100 ways not to do it
|
| 8:36:48 PM | RobbieF | haha ABQTKY
|
| 8:37:43 PM | ABQTKY | dooley, the problem is I remember most of the wrong ways to do stuff, not the one correct way.
|
| 8:38:27 PM | RobbieF | holy crap - drive just finished formatting and is SUPER fast in the pi
|
| 8:38:31 PM | RobbieF | so that's all it was.
|
| 8:38:33 PM | dooley | lol, exactly even if you remember it is the wrong way. like having 2 keys an a ring, you have a 50/50 chance...right....nope..
|
| 8:39:17 PM | dooley | that is great, so you can finish, She can take it home and use it for the week and jump in next week for the show
|
| 8:39:32 PM | RobbieF | no, she's gone LOL
|
| 8:39:39 PM | RobbieF | but I started copying the roms
|
| 8:40:07 PM | RobbieF | screaming fast now.
|
| 8:40:09 PM | RobbieF | no delay
|
| 8:40:15 PM | dooley | well darn, I have 2 roms I use in mine, one retro pi and the other OSMC
|
| 8:40:17 PM | RobbieF | I knew something was wrong when "ls" locked up
|
| 8:40:30 PM | dooley | a simple swap out
|
| 8:40:54 PM | dooley | yeah, I have gotten to hate sandisk, have them go bad for no reason
|
| 8:41:53 PM | ABQTKY | So next week it'll be the calm, relaxed, peaceful episode RobbieF.
|
| 8:42:16 PM | dooley | I have a patriot xt that I have used for 6 years at least and even had it yanked before unmounted and no issues and as a USB 2 it is faster than any other USB 2 flash drives I have
|
| 8:43:42 PM | dooley | Good night and will look for you all next week. Good night all, ABQTKY, sparklyballs, RobbieF
|
| 8:43:52 PM | RobbieF | night :D
|
| 8:44:01 PM | RobbieF | yes next week will be super smooth!
|
| 8:46:52 PM | ABQTKY | What happens if even Liam can't keep up with the new SUPER fast games, RobbieF???
|
| 8:47:12 PM | garywhite | Good night, live long & prosper 🖖
|
