|
| 7:07:46 PM | Solbu | THere is a CD/record store in my city, Trondheim :-)
|
| 7:07:47 PM | SashaR2 | :)
|
| 7:08:27 PM | Freeway | What's a record lol
|
| 7:10:01 PM | ABQTKY | They're round and flat and made of shellac. The modern ones (fifty or sixty years) are made of vinyl...but still round and flat!!
|
| 7:10:15 PM | SashaR2 | like the earth ;P
|
| 7:10:51 PM | ABQTKY | Precisely, SashaR2 !!
|
| 7:11:00 PM | Solbu | Something is wrong with the kodi stream. It keeps buffering..
|
| 7:11:29 PM | Freeway | ok , I read that in my history book
|
| 7:11:37 PM | bp9 | I backup to file server, then back *that* up to three drives (rotating through each drive)
|
| 7:11:48 PM | bp9 | and then I backup the fileserver to tape as well
|
| 7:11:52 PM | bp9 | fun!
|
| 7:14:21 PM | ABQTKY | SashaR2, the Pi Killer has one SATA port, but there are TWO hard drives in it. How do dey do dat?? And can it run more than two drives??? Inquiring minds want to know!!
|
| 7:14:55 PM | SashaR2 | I'll ask Robbie :)
|
| 7:15:08 PM | bp9 | Except for that big honkin heat sink! LOL
|
| 7:15:25 PM | albertr | See should see my IBM S390 :)
|
| 7:15:28 PM | Solbu | SashaR2: Something is wrong with the kido stream. Maybe it need to be restarted. I keep having to restart it.
|
| 7:15:32 PM | Solbu | *kodi
|
| 7:16:15 PM | revdjenk | And I'm your biggest fan!!!
|
| 7:16:15 PM | SashaR2 | I can see if Robbie can reset it ;)
|
| 7:16:41 PM | albertr | I'm a big FAN
|
| 7:18:12 PM | revdjenk | Sean Shawn Shaun sian
|
| 7:18:44 PM | Solbu | It's getting ridicilous. I have to restart my kodi stream every 10 seconds sometimes, to be able to watch the show..
|
| 7:18:47 PM | Solbu | :-)
|
| 7:19:16 PM | revdjenk | Solbu: the youtube stream is doing well
|
| 7:19:28 PM | Solbu | revdjenk: I don't care. :-)
|
| 7:19:35 PM | revdjenk | hee hee Solbu
|
| 7:20:34 PM | bp9 | SATA that's weird LOL
|
| 7:21:26 PM | SashaR2 | I'm weird (and also I don't mind how Shawn is spelled... my brother's name is Shamus, clearly bastersized!)
|
| 7:21:39 PM | bp9 | :-)
|
| 7:22:45 PM | ABQTKY | SashaR, I'm beginning to get the picture. Thanks! So can we get USB hubs with UAS or whatever it's called??
|
| 7:23:05 PM | ABQTKY | Woops, you're SashaR2.
|
| 7:23:35 PM | SashaR2 | :)
|
| 7:25:17 PM | revdjenk | ABQTKY: do you know about the chat shortcut with autofill of names? type as much of a name that makes it unique, then hit
|
| 7:26:02 PM | revdjenk | so you'll never mispell SashaR2 again!
|
| 7:26:16 PM | bp9 | revdjenk: How cool. It even works on pidgin. Thanks!
|
| 7:26:24 PM | revdjenk | tah dah
|
| 7:26:32 PM | ABQTKY | revdjenk, once the fingers get warmed up I don't pay attention to 'shortcuts.' (Besides, I forgot.) 8-)
|
| 7:26:40 PM | revdjenk | hee hee ABQTKY
|
| 7:26:41 PM | SashaR2 | To be fair, I do change my name from time to time :)
|
| 7:26:59 PM | bp9 | revdjenk: and I learned something new! Cool...
|
| 7:27:00 PM | revdjenk | someone taking verticle smartphone shots!!!
|
| 7:27:20 PM | revdjenk | bp9: yes, learning is wonderful... why I'm here!
|
| 7:28:07 PM | revdjenk | hee hee SashaR2
|
| 7:29:00 PM | bp9 | RobbieF: your title bar is off the top of the screen
|
| 7:31:15 PM | bp9 | I'd be trying to move the border instead of sliding the image underneath it
|
| 7:31:28 PM | SashaR2 | haha
|
| 7:32:41 PM | TheFu | What did I miss?
|
| 7:33:43 PM | revdjenk | there is an image properties which gives all the information on a picture, also
|
| 7:34:00 PM | Swamig007 | Hi, I have recently come across the need to reduce the size of image ( potrait ) to 100 KB
|
| 7:34:15 PM | TheFu | ImageMagick?
|
| 7:34:26 PM | Swamig007 | and onwhat would be the bext approach for it in Gimp
|
| 7:34:32 PM | bp9 | TheFu: GIMP
|
| 7:34:35 PM | revdjenk | TheFu: the studio camera test, commparisons on the little computers
|
| 7:34:51 PM | TheFu | Aaaaah.
|
| 7:35:17 PM | SashaR2 | The little computers.... love it!
|
| 7:35:27 PM | TheFu | I struggle with The Gimp. Generally prefer CLI tools.
|
| 7:37:05 PM | TheFu | Image "optimization" is an art form.
|
| 7:37:17 PM | revdjenk | TheFu: yes!
|
| 7:37:53 PM | bp9 | SashaR2: You might consider putting the pictures on a website somewhere then email a link to the recipients.
|
| 7:38:13 PM | bp9 | Then they can choose if to download the high quality pictures
|
| 7:38:15 PM | TheFu | for img in "$@"; do
|
| 7:38:15 PM | TheFu | NEW=${img/%.???/-opt.jpg}
|
| 7:38:15 PM | TheFu | echo " Working on $img ..."
|
| 7:38:15 PM | TheFu | convert -quality $QUAL "$img" "$NEW"
|
| 7:38:21 PM | TheFu | done
|
| 7:38:26 PM | SashaR2 | good idea :)
|
| 7:38:38 PM | TheFu | $QUAL - is normally around 40 for web uploads.
|
| 7:39:25 PM | Solbu | SashaR2: Ask why he aborted / canceled the save question wne closing Gimp. Some people need to know why, why not.
|
| 7:39:28 PM | revdjenk | TheFu: but can you crop a certain part, that way... not easily or accurately I think
|
| 7:39:51 PM | TheFu | The Gimp is an amazing tool when you need non-trivial stuff.
|
| 7:40:02 PM | Freeway | Anyone have any suggestion for open source for Quickbooks
|
| 7:40:13 PM | Freeway | replacement
|
| 7:40:41 PM | TheFu | Freeway: Most businesses I know have outsourced that - accounting services.
|
| 7:41:21 PM | TheFu | When I was CFO at a tiny company, we didn't use Windows anywhere, ..... except .... Quickbooks.
|
| 7:41:22 PM | Solbu | RobbieF: It looks great in 720P.
|
| 7:41:24 PM | Freeway | well i have a small business
|
| 7:41:42 PM | revdjenk | freeway, just started looking myself... homebank gnucash are top recommends by reviewers
|
| 7:42:02 PM | Freeway | I looked at gnucash
|
| 7:42:32 PM | TheFu | Is this a retail business that needs to deal with ever changing tax rates every quarter?
|
| 7:42:50 PM | revdjenk | check out capterra.com
|
| 7:43:10 PM | revdjenk | they will give recommends on software
|
| 7:43:31 PM | Freeway | thanks, for recoomendations
|
| 7:43:32 PM | revdjenk | includes commercial and free
|
| 7:43:35 PM | TheFu | "Ask Noah" ep 25 or 26 was about tools for small businesses that want F/LOSS solutions.
|
| 7:44:22 PM | TheFu | He runs an IT services company.
|
| 7:45:27 PM | Freeway | Ill do that
|
| 7:46:00 PM | Solbu | CAAS…
|
| 7:46:05 PM | TheFu | AlternativeTo.net also provides options.
|
| 7:46:39 PM | Freeway | I am just worried about security
|
| 7:47:54 PM | TheFu | D.C. cameras ... a few yrs ago, I saw a demo from a DoD company showing off their integrated, live, Washington DC tools ... police, fire, city vehicles, cameras, gunshot sensors, etc were all part of this demo - live. It was posted to youtube with IP addresses.
|
| 7:48:21 PM | bp9 | RobbieF: I would not be surprised if they were remote desktop-ing into the cameras as the normal part of doing business.
|
| 7:48:46 PM | bp9 | (they means the owners of the traffic cameras)
|
| 7:49:21 PM | TheFu | I was able to ping an IP camera and fingerprint the device as a camera from the IP shown on youtube.
|
| 7:49:36 PM | bp9 | wow...
|
| 7:49:41 PM | Solbu | And kodi is acting up again.
|
| 7:49:53 PM | TheFu | Solbu: Fine here ... still.
|
| 7:50:19 PM | TheFu | So Sasha can be bought?
|
| 7:52:00 PM | Solbu | TheFu: I think you're to late. Dave(?) won the bid. :-)
|
| 7:53:40 PM | TheFu | ;) ... she said on the show that if she controlled the traffic lights, that a small payment would get her to make them change for you.
|
| 7:54:07 PM | TheFu | The mounteeeeeees?
|
| 7:54:57 PM | GWG | I'm attending the Virtual Homebrew Website Club Americas. We're in the midst of quiet writing hour till half past, when we start the club meeting if anyone is interested
|
| 7:55:31 PM | TheFu | They are a car finance company. Not much computer expertise there, beyond accounting programs, I bet.
|
| 7:58:07 PM | BobK54 | I'll be in Ottawa the week of the 14th....would you kindly warm it up a bit before I get there?
|
| 7:58:37 PM | TheFu | For driving, only 1 thing .... if you aren't passing, get out of the left lanes!!!!
|
| 7:58:59 PM | revdjenk | TheFu: thanks for the ask noah site...
|
| 7:59:29 PM | TheFu | YW.
|
| 7:59:54 PM | Solbu | Imagine having Mr.T. yelling back: «You didn't signal, fool!»
|
| 7:59:58 PM | BobK54 | electricity into radio waves.....Nikola Tesla all over again
|
| 8:00:25 PM | TheFu | Aren't those call microwaves? Ever had a microwave burn? I have.
|
| 8:00:47 PM | bp9 | Wireless charging can't be very efficient -- can it?
|
| 8:00:48 PM | TheFu | s/call/called/
|
| 8:01:03 PM | TheFu | Maxwell's law, right?
|
| 8:01:40 PM | BobK54 | microwaves....or lightning
|
| 8:02:08 PM | TheFu | microwaves do cook meat.
|
| 8:02:35 PM | TheFu | s/meat/humans/
|
| 8:02:50 PM | bp9 | TheFu: I guess you're talking about the law that says the power of a radio signal weakens a lot over distance -- squared rule?
|
| 8:03:20 PM | TheFu | No. I was thinking about how A/C power is created using coils.
|
| 8:03:42 PM | bp9 | Ah a transformer
|
| 8:04:25 PM | TheFu | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_coil
|
| 8:07:33 PM | bp9 | Nice job, SashaR2!
|
| 8:07:45 PM | BobK54 | Happy New Year all !!!!
|
| 8:08:13 PM | bp9 | Yay!
|
| 8:08:30 PM | bp9 | Not much difference between the two cameras so far.
|
| 8:08:34 PM | TheFu | Time to get that amazon order for all the things that Santa didn't bring ...
|
| 8:08:56 PM | bp9 | Both 4K cameras so it'll more about what features they have and how they help RobbieF :-)
|
| 8:09:09 PM | revdjenk | Santa brought us our two great granddaughters!
|
| 8:09:15 PM | revdjenk | fun to play with
|
| 8:09:34 PM | Solbu | RobbieF: It looks great in 720P.
|
| 8:09:36 PM | revdjenk | hee hee
|
| 8:11:28 PM | SashaR2 | HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! :)
|
| 8:11:54 PM | SashaR2 | Have a great night, and week my sweet friends :)
|
| 8:12:15 PM | revdjenk | just of your face
|
| 8:13:09 PM | bp9 | RobbieF: you should get those moles looked at LOL LOL LOL
|
| 8:14:10 PM | revdjenk | bye everyone... see you next week...
|
| 8:14:23 PM | TheFu | Can't wait for the edited version, to see the stuff I missed!
|
| 8:14:25 PM | bp9 | Have a good night and Happy New Year everyone
|
| 8:14:44 PM | TheFu | And if you aren't passing, please stay in the right lanes. Please.
|
| 8:14:49 PM | TheFu | ;)
|
| 8:20:44 PM | TheFu | Has anyone played with qTox or uTox?
|
| 8:32:46 PM | benrob0329 | TheFu: a while ago, still very buggy last I checked
|
| 8:33:11 PM | TheFu | For both?
|
| 8:34:15 PM | benrob0329 | yes
|
| 8:34:23 PM | benrob0329 | Tox in general seems like a mess
|
| 8:34:48 PM | benrob0329 | multi device support requiring a profile export, no contacts syncing, etc
|
| 8:34:56 PM | benrob0329 | I much prefer server-side federation
|
| 8:35:07 PM | TheFu | Did you move onto something else?
|
| 8:35:18 PM | benrob0329 | Matrix currently
|
| 8:35:39 PM | benrob0329 | Needs more mature clients, but we're better off than Tox ;-)
|
| 8:35:56 PM | benrob0329 | I'd just recommend making an account not on matrix.org
|
| 8:47:23 PM | benrob0329 | TheFu: Quaternion is pretty good for an IRC-like Matrix client
|
| 8:47:40 PM | benrob0329 | Riot is good if you don't mind using a webapp
|
| 8:47:48 PM | benrob0329 | and there are a few others
|
| 8:47:55 PM | TheFu | Not looking for IRC. Need ... voice, video and desktop sharing.
|
| 8:48:43 PM | TheFu | 10-20 connections.
|
| 8:51:34 PM | benrob0329 | TheFu: Jitsi Meet then
|
| 8:52:03 PM | benrob0329 | Matrix has it, but no mature clients yet. Most people use a Jitsi widget added to a room
|
| 8:52:33 PM | benrob0329 | TheFu: meet.jit.si
