| 6:58:46 PM | dooley_da_Vulcan | how do you add to kodi?
|
| 6:59:57 PM | techstudier | videos addons
|
| 7:00:27 PM | dooley_da_Vulcan | and the name of the addon?
|
| 7:00:32 PM | techstudier | load from zip file
|
| 7:00:49 PM | dooley_da_Vulcan | what depository?
|
| 7:00:53 PM | techstudier | google cat5 addon
|
| 7:01:02 PM | sparklyballs | https://github.com/Cat5TV/plugin.video.category5
|
| 7:01:03 PM | techstudier | found a github
|
| 7:01:19 PM | Solbu | Audio!
|
| 7:01:19 PM | techstudier | found at github
|
| 7:01:24 PM | Solbu | No image yet.
|
| 7:01:33 PM | techstudier | audio and picture all good
|
| 7:02:14 PM | sparklyballs | and the feed kaput lol
|
| 7:02:17 PM | TheFu | And ... gone.
|
| 7:02:20 PM | Solbu | Hehe.
|
| 7:02:31 PM | TheFu | just after saying "wonderful"
|
| 7:02:34 PM | Solbu | «How, wonderfull» … and dead.
|
| 7:02:40 PM | ABQTKY | Woops. Lost it. But the show hasn't actually started yet. So...
|
| 7:02:52 PM | techstudier | it was all good for a while
|
| 7:02:59 PM | sparklyballs | perhaps all part of the master plan TheFu
|
| 7:03:16 PM | sparklyballs | lull you in to thinking it's working then kill the feed
|
| 7:03:37 PM | SashaD2 | We are back, and ready to rock
|
| 7:04:15 PM | techstudier | have sound no picture
|
| 7:04:32 PM | Solbu | Kodi stream have no picture.
|
| 7:04:48 PM | agamotto | Hallo, all
|
| 7:04:48 PM | sparklyballs | working here Solbu
|
| 7:04:52 PM | TheFu | kodi working here. Just had to leave and restart the "live"
|
| 7:04:58 PM | sparklyballs | hallo agamotto
|
| 7:05:22 PM | Solbu | TheFu: Restarting stream worked.
|
| 7:06:04 PM | techstudier | same here restart worked
|
| 7:06:11 PM | TheFu | Any one got a PC part picker URL for Sasha's build?
|
| 7:07:35 PM | sparklyballs | is that a wrist splint SashaD2 on your left wrist ?
|
| 7:08:04 PM | SashaD2 | nope, a lace sleeve
|
| 7:08:09 PM | TheFu | SashaD2: Yeah - what is that on the wrist?
|
| 7:08:29 PM | agamotto | Funny, I was just watching a show about the Story of China featuring a Xu family that traces back to circa 900AD... and they have the many-times reprinted books to prove it.
|
| 7:09:53 PM | TheFu | Free shipping!
|
| 7:09:54 PM | agamotto | Nice commision
|
| 7:10:29 PM | TheFu | And you don't have to lug the box to your car or get it out of the trunk. ;)
|
| 7:10:38 PM | techstudier | the wonders of the gimble
|
| 7:10:50 PM | sparklyballs | fascinating history china has agamotto , for 18 centuries out of the last 20 1/3 of the world economy was china
|
| 7:11:55 PM | agamotto | I was blown away by the wall carving shown that can be read nearly 3000 years later by people speaking "modern" Mandarin.
|
| 7:12:30 PM | techstudier | probably started at sea to hold instruments stable
|
| 7:13:34 PM | TheFu | $1B for 10 shows .... $100M ea?
|
| 7:13:54 PM | agamotto | Why not? For Apple, $1Bn is pocket-change, and if it doesn't work out, they get a tax write-off.
|
| 7:14:32 PM | TheFu | CBS ... er .... sucks.
|
| 7:14:45 PM | agamotto | RobbieF: See if the show survives the first three episodes, then get excited about watching it.
|
| 7:14:58 PM | sparklyballs | apple kind of predate netflix and amazon in the video game, appletv for instance. and roundabout way apple movie trailers is ancient in comparison to both the other services you mentioned
|
| 7:15:08 PM | agamotto | I have a feeling that Star Trek Continues will be more enjoyable :)
|
| 7:15:16 PM | techstudier | the enterprise lives on
|
| 7:15:57 PM | agamotto | I refuse to pay AND have to watch commercials
|
| 7:16:15 PM | TheFu | Hulu shows commercials - even on their paid plan.
|
| 7:16:34 PM | agamotto | Which is why I dropped Hulu ~ 2 years ago
|
| 7:16:35 PM | dooley_da_Vulcan | its a scam, that is all
|
| 7:16:35 PM | TheFu | So ... just record it and run it through comskip.
|
| 7:17:11 PM | dooley_da_Vulcan | STARGATE ORIGINS
|
| 7:17:22 PM | dooley_da_Vulcan | anyone see about that
|
| 7:17:30 PM | agamotto | I don't mind ads, as long as they don't exceed ~1min each
|
| 7:17:53 PM | Solbu | dooley_da_Vulcan: To bad Stargate Universe closed after just two seasons. That was an awesome show.
|
| 7:17:56 PM | agamotto | dooley_da_Vulcan: Yes, cautiously optimistic
|
| 7:18:05 PM | sparklyballs | ads are the single most annoying thing on the internet apart from the small handed wonder in the white house
|
| 7:18:07 PM | dooley_da_Vulcan | I was wanting to add cat5 to my streaming box KODI
|
| 7:18:20 PM | TheFu | I'm addicted to _Dark Matter_ currently.
|
| 7:18:37 PM | agamotto | sparklyballs: I can do with ads, but not when I am expected to watch a 6min ad to view a 1:30 video
|
| 7:18:51 PM | dooley_da_Vulcan | which is not the easiest thing to do
|
| 7:18:53 PM | TheFu | Canadian SciFi
|
| 7:19:00 PM | agamotto | TheFu: Is that the anthology series?
|
| 7:19:01 PM | TheFu | Eh?
|
| 7:19:20 PM | TheFu | agamotto: Don't know.
|
| 7:19:45 PM | agamotto | TheFu: A different story each episode, but in similar setting...
|
| 7:19:51 PM | techstudier | looking forward to the build list
|
| 7:20:07 PM | agamotto | Oi ocha is a tea...
|
| 7:20:10 PM | TheFu | Dark Matter is on SPACE or Syfy. It is a series ... order matters.
|
| 7:20:26 PM | agamotto | TheFu: Ahh. I will look for it.
|
| 7:20:26 PM | sparklyballs | i watched a great movie the other day prevenge
|
| 7:20:31 PM | TheFu | What's the budget for the build? Probable 10x my budget.
|
| 7:20:34 PM | TheFu | ;(
|
| 7:21:09 PM | agamotto | Ryzen threadripper with Titan?
|
| 7:21:13 PM | TheFu | Looks like my Ryzen 5 1600 is about $550 - so ... $150 over my budget.
|
| 7:21:14 PM | dooley_da_Vulcan | Damn
|
| 7:21:29 PM | TheFu | CA$2100!!!!!
|
| 7:22:00 PM | TheFu | I reuse parts.
|
| 7:22:15 PM | agamotto | In short, you are getting something from Falcon Northwest?
|
| 7:22:30 PM | dooley_da_Vulcan | System76
|
| 7:22:31 PM | TheFu | Backups?
|
| 7:22:57 PM | TheFu | Backups before RAID, IMHO
|
| 7:23:40 PM | agamotto | Fallout 4 in VR, w/o crashes and bugs = addiction
|
| 7:23:49 PM | TheFu | FVWM-crystal for the WM!
|
| 7:24:39 PM | agamotto | Tedious is the word
|
| 7:24:41 PM | TheFu | agamotto: They are going with Intel ... probably i7.
|
| 7:25:11 PM | dooley_da_Vulcan | good luck
|
| 7:25:24 PM | TheFu | SashaD2: Pretty much ... but you can force it and break things.
|
| 7:25:50 PM | M1k3_0 | If it does not fit PUSH HARDER
|
| 7:25:59 PM | techstudier | compiz fusion makes things look nice on desktop
|
| 7:26:09 PM | sparklyballs | you can plug power supply into mini usb ports on a couple of my arm boards
|
| 7:26:28 PM | TheFu | You are putting this monster in the room you will be watching in? Too noisy?
|
| 7:27:07 PM | dooley_da_Vulcan | amd ryzen
|
| 7:27:19 PM | TheFu | How many bogomips do you want? SashaD2?
|
| 7:27:45 PM | sparklyballs | not the biggest bang electrically but the noisiest mistake i made was putting the preamp valves the wrong way round on one of my valve amps i used to have
|
| 7:27:54 PM | TheFu | I've run 20 VMs nicely on a 1st gen Core i5-750.
|
| 7:28:16 PM | techstudier | a good power supply is good for a computer to have a long life
|
| 7:28:30 PM | TheFu | I would never put a real computer in the same room where I'm watching movies / TV.
|
| 7:28:42 PM | Solbu | RobbieF: Why not an i9, that came this year? If you're bulding a «powerhouse» anyway.
|
| 7:29:35 PM | techstudier | 2nd gen i7 chips are cheap
|
| 7:30:03 PM | techstudier | could be used as a media system
|
| 7:30:34 PM | sparklyballs | i turned the volume up so i can't hear the neighbours telling me to turn the tv down lol.....
|
| 7:30:34 PM | agamotto | $50 is an issue?
|
| 7:30:41 PM | sparklyballs | and the feed dead again
|
| 7:30:42 PM | TheFu | video dumped.
|
| 7:30:57 PM | TheFu | but they aren't here to see it.
|
| 7:31:02 PM | M1k3_0 | yup
|
| 7:31:03 PM | ABQTKY | The stream heard Robbie mention carburetor when he meant radiator...and we're down!!
|
| 7:31:05 PM | Solbu | Luks dumped the feed.
|
| 7:31:25 PM | techstudier | same here
|
| 7:31:46 PM | sparklyballs | looks like studio internet went kaput
|
| 7:31:48 PM | agamotto | Hmm, I added a Thermaltake liquid block cooler for ~$50 last year.
|
| 7:31:49 PM | TheFu | Anyone had any leaks with the liquid cooling or is that handled well.
|
| 7:31:55 PM | bp9 | I think the video feed will come back when they show up in the chat room again.
|
| 7:32:08 PM | bp9 | Just like that :-)
|
| 7:32:11 PM | TheFu | If they remember to look.
|
| 7:32:14 PM | napa_polarbear | no roku
|
| 7:32:22 PM | agamotto | TheFu: The one I bought is sealed, according to the packaging.
|
| 7:32:26 PM | techstudier | restarted steam its back
|
| 7:32:40 PM | techstudier | stream is back
|
| 7:34:33 PM | SashaD2 | Thank you :)
|
| 7:35:21 PM | techstudier | ssd drives are more reliable now good loading speeds
|
| 7:35:25 PM | TheFu | And don't get too hung up on those numbers - there's another graph there by perf per $$$
|
| 7:35:49 PM | agamotto | Is that price including the provincial VAT?
|
| 7:36:17 PM | napa_polarbear | amd works better with linux
|
| 7:36:50 PM | TheFu | napa_polarbear: The ryzen CPUs are segfaulting under heavy thread loads.
|
| 7:37:08 PM | techstudier | ryzen seven looks cheaper with good speeds
|
| 7:37:11 PM | agamotto | TheFu: Ooooo, not good
|
| 7:37:17 PM | napa_polarbear | amd works better with linux
|
| 7:37:19 PM | bp9 | Any interest in APU? CPU + Graphics all on one chip?
|
| 7:37:45 PM | TheFu | bp9: APU is much, much, lower end than what Sasha is seeking.
|
| 7:38:11 PM | bp9 | no worries, just asking.
|
| 7:38:17 PM | agamotto | Ahh, so i7 w/o gfx sub-stuff
|
| 7:39:00 PM | techstudier | the intel i5 offers good speeds and better price than i7
|
| 7:39:11 PM | TheFu | APU is a specific sort of CPU+GPU ... usually low end for a sub $500 total build. The Intels with iGPU aren't the same.
|
| 7:39:14 PM | bp9 | What is special about the K suffix?
|
| 7:39:24 PM | agamotto | bp9: unlocked
|
| 7:39:34 PM | bp9 | Still not sure what that means.
|
| 7:39:42 PM | sparklyballs | stay away from the minibar SashaD2
|
| 7:39:47 PM | orangeman | intel core 4770 cpu 3.44ghz
|
| 7:39:58 PM | sparklyballs | many nights of trouble after the minibar lol
|
| 7:40:04 PM | Dennis_Kelley | hi everyone, sorry i just got home from work!
|
| 7:40:17 PM | TheFu | I always create a few different CPU builds - on paper using a spreadsheet to keep up with the slight differences.
|
| 7:40:30 PM | techstudier | gone with the overclocking chip
|
| 7:40:42 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Hello SashaD2 and Robbief
|
| 7:41:17 PM | agamotto | Dennis_Kelley: Hey, as long as you weren't mowing during a tornado...
|
| 7:41:21 PM | techstudier | i7k overclock episode mybe
|
| 7:41:30 PM | techstudier | maybe
|
| 7:43:10 PM | TheFu | Sasha shouldn't OC ... she won't have the patience to tweak all the voltages looking for "stability"
|
| 7:43:31 PM | agamotto | TheFu: Many mobos do that for you.
|
| 7:43:52 PM | TheFu | Not if you run Linux.
|
| 7:44:40 PM | TheFu | All the shipped OC utils are Windows-only.
|
| 7:44:59 PM | agamotto | Ahhh
|
| 7:45:01 PM | sparklyballs | kodi handles 3d
|
| 7:45:18 PM | techstudier | on board graphics have advanced a lot
|
| 7:45:32 PM | agamotto | Isn't most 3d essentially 1080i?
|
| 7:45:38 PM | techstudier | and on board sound
|
| 7:46:10 PM | TheFu | I only use iGPUs. Haven't bought a separate GPU since the $20 on a GT 430 about 10 yrs ago.
|
| 7:46:39 PM | TheFu | m2 is ok, but if you want 30,000Mbps throughput .. there are other options. Avoid SATA.
|
| 7:47:18 PM | TheFu | The fastest I've seen is 32Gpbs for storage.
|
| 7:47:24 PM | BobK54 | my son just built a new box with an M2 for the operating system. Stupic fast
|
| 7:47:25 PM | techstudier | sound cards are not always needed these days unless music making etc which is good
|
| 7:47:28 PM | TheFu | I don't think M2 does that.
|
| 7:47:32 PM | agamotto | Isn't M.2 and PCIx expensive for SSD?
|
| 7:47:53 PM | Dennis_Kelley | agamotto its better than mowing a tornado!
|
| 7:49:12 PM | TheFu | https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/vLnTwP/enthusiast-intel-gaming-build ....
|
| 7:49:21 PM | sparklyballs | mmmm fried retinas
|
| 7:49:31 PM | TheFu | Anyone else headed to see the eclipse on Monday?
|
| 7:49:39 PM | agamotto | sparklyballs: I will be watching on the roof of my local library
|
| 7:49:58 PM | bp9 | No, I should be able to see about 92% occlusion from my location.
|
| 7:50:01 PM | sparklyballs | bit 2 far for me in the uk agamotto
|
| 7:50:03 PM | TheFu | Only 90% eclipse here. Saw a total back in '89/'90.
|
| 7:50:03 PM | BobK54 | I'm 73 miles from the band of totality. not sure if I'll brave the traffic
|
| 7:50:16 PM | techstudier | asteroid deflected by smart fridge
|
| 7:50:21 PM | BobK54 | I'll see 96.3% here
|
| 7:50:21 PM | agamotto | My last total one was 30 years ago
|
| 7:50:52 PM | TheFu | During total eclipse, it is safe to look at it ... for about 90 sec.
|
| 7:50:56 PM | agamotto | Go get a welding helmet! chuckle
|
| 7:51:08 PM | sparklyballs | last eclipse here i was working for an engineering company and used welding googles to watch it
|
| 7:51:29 PM | agamotto | Abundance of caution = deep fear of class-action lawsuit
|
| 7:51:35 PM | TheFu | We had setup a telescope.
|
| 7:51:43 PM | BobK54 | checked my amazon-sourced glasses today and found they were legit. so far so good.
|
| 7:51:59 PM | agamotto | The visible light is blocked, but the IR and UV are still in full
|
| 7:52:17 PM | Solbu | SashaD2: During the eclipse, DO NOT look directly at the sun. That is dangerous to your eyes.
|
| 7:52:41 PM | techstudier | also shown in imax :)
|
| 7:52:46 PM | Garbee[m] | Oh. It started 50 minutes ago!
|
| 7:52:46 PM | napa_polarbear | did we not have an eclipse back in 1979 in canada?
|
| 7:52:52 PM | TheFu | During total eclipse, it is safe to look at it ... for about 90 sec. But not safe before or after or if not in the total eclipse.
|
| 7:52:55 PM | Garbee[m] | I thought it was just before showtime. :(
|
| 7:53:34 PM | agamotto | How does it know the Use By dates?
|
| 7:53:37 PM | napa_polarbear | did we not have an eclipse back in 1979 in canada?
|
| 7:54:48 PM | agamotto | Precisely why I don't have "smart" anything in my house
|
| 7:55:16 PM | M1k3_0 | Yes. I have one like this but not internet connected.
|
| 7:55:31 PM | TheFu | https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEhelp/safety2.html - The only time that the Sun can be viewed safely with the naked eye is during a total eclipse, when the Moon completely covers the disk of the Sun.
|
| 7:55:58 PM | TheFu | IoT is dangerous. Don't, just don't.
|
| 7:56:08 PM | agamotto | agreed
|
| 7:56:24 PM | TheFu | Security folks call it IoS ....
|
| 7:56:36 PM | techstudier | the northern lights are amazing
|
| 7:56:36 PM | techstudier | giant lump of clay heading for earth
|
| 7:56:38 PM | Solbu | What? The end is not near? ;-)
|
| 7:57:19 PM | agamotto | Ironic if it were to hit NK
|
| 7:57:29 PM | TheFu | https://internetofshit.net/
|
| 7:57:54 PM | TheFu | Dance like you think the world ends tomorrow. ;)
|
| 7:57:58 PM | sparklyballs | better to hit trump tower agamotto
|
| 7:57:58 PM | agamotto | Mandate of Heaven indeed
|
| 7:58:11 PM | agamotto | sparklyballs: I could settle
|
| 7:59:37 PM | ABQTKY | Down again.
|
| 7:59:38 PM | M1k3_0 | again or just me?
|
| 7:59:41 PM | techstudier | great news as always
|
| 7:59:43 PM | agamotto | deae
|
| 7:59:45 PM | agamotto | dead
|
| 7:59:49 PM | bp9 | Nope, stream went down again.
|
| 7:59:51 PM | bp9 | Sigh
|
| 7:59:52 PM | TheFu | M1k3_0: just you ... and everyone else.
|
| 7:59:54 PM | sparklyballs | flaky studio internet this week
|
| 7:59:56 PM | Solbu | It's dead, Jim.
|
| 7:59:58 PM | Dennis_Kelley | damn Internet!
|
| 8:00:02 PM | M1k3_0 | lol
|
| 8:00:18 PM | BobK54 | It's dead, Jim" LOVE IT!!!
|
| 8:00:22 PM | TheFu | Think I'd have to mv from CA over bad internet.
|
| 8:00:37 PM | TheFu | BobK54: Who's drinkin'?
|
| 8:00:50 PM | agamotto | Well, I must away... I am installing LibreOffice on both of my parents' systems this evening
|
| 8:01:22 PM | bp9 | Sasha;s bac, and so is the stream. :-)
|
| 8:01:24 PM | napa_polarbear | did we not have an eclipse back in 1979 in canada?
|
| 8:01:28 PM | BobK54 | did they have the show set up to auto disconnect at 8:00??
|
| 8:01:29 PM | techstudier | stream is back with sound only
|
| 8:02:10 PM | techstudier | great show as always
|
| 8:03:06 PM | BobK54 | that was a quick hour+
|
| 8:03:24 PM | bp9 | time flies!
|
| 8:04:24 PM | BobK54 | night all, have a great week
|
| 8:04:26 PM | TheFu | Building your own means never having to deal with proprietary PSUs or other funky connectors that only the OEM sells.
|
| 8:04:50 PM | bp9 | Thanks for a fun show!
|
| 8:04:53 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | Great show
|
| 8:04:53 PM | Dooley_da_Vulcan | good night
|
| 8:05:48 PM | M1k3_0 | time to see what's for supper. hope it goes well with Stella :)
|
| 8:06:45 PM | SashaD2 | That was fun and fast!!!
|
| 8:07:11 PM | TheFu | YES!!!
|
| 8:07:23 PM | bp9 | Robbie, find a ham radio operator
|
| 8:07:30 PM | TheFu | Ubiquiti rocks. They make 150km versions.
|
| 8:07:41 PM | bp9 | They can help you with directional antennas, etc.
|
| 8:08:07 PM | TheFu | This is ubiquiti long distance: https://explore.org/livecams/brown-bears/river-watch-brown-bear-salmon-cams
|
| 8:08:48 PM | M1k3_0 | I think he has a directional already.
|
| 8:09:14 PM | TheFu | The 20KM ubiquiti stuff is about $1500
|
| 8:09:15 PM | ABQTKY | Robbie, could Henry (the drone pilot) verify line-of-sight and how high the Ubiquiti antennas would have to be? Maybe you wouldn't need to build super high towers at the station...or your house.
|
| 8:09:20 PM | bp9 | Uh Oh it died again.
|
| 8:09:38 PM | TheFu | A telescope works.
|
| 8:10:06 PM | Dennis_Kelley | was robbie the techstudier login?
|
| 8:10:59 PM | TheFu | Any business wireless ISP can help. I've considered it myself. GigE is about half a mile away for $80/month.
|
| 8:10:59 PM | bp9 | No he was logged in as RobbieF when the stream dropped out the first time.
|
| 8:11:12 PM | Solbu | An alternative is IP over Avian Cariages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers
|
| 8:11:24 PM | Solbu | Soneon actually implemented it. :-)
|
| 8:11:29 PM | Solbu | *someone
|
| 8:11:34 PM | TheFu | But the latency ...
|
| 8:12:29 PM | Solbu | Haha. love the packet loss image on the wikipedia article. :D
|
| 8:13:20 PM | bp9 | I'm guessing they went ahead and shut down the feed since the show was effectively finished.
|
