| 6:58:09 PM | Garbee[m] | It works
|
| 6:58:12 PM | Garbee[m] | No echo out here.
|
| 6:58:14 PM | Solbu | Check!
|
| 7:00:52 PM | Solbu | Lookes like sasha got a good chair.
|
| 7:01:06 PM | Garbee[m] | Oh you're sitting again!
|
| 7:01:08 PM | Garbee[m] | I will now complain you aren't getting as much cardio as you were.
|
| 7:02:09 PM | Solbu | And we have lift off.
|
| 7:06:07 PM | Garbee[m] | Where is this going?
|
| 7:07:20 PM | Solbu | Gaah! Kodi still frack up!
|
| 7:07:35 PM | alpeck | you are actually number six if you go to images
|
| 7:07:43 PM | GWG | You own the domain, don't you?
|
| 7:07:45 PM | GWG | Just tuned in
|
| 7:08:25 PM | alpeck | go to google images besause Sasha Rickman if number 1
|
| 7:08:32 PM | alpeck | ^is
|
| 7:08:56 PM | Garbee[m] | So you've been lieing to us all this time!
|
| 7:09:00 PM | GWG | Also, I can spell Rickman
|
| 7:09:01 PM | Garbee[m] | SashaR: That is so rude.
|
| 7:09:25 PM | GWG | I never remembered how to spell her maiden name
|
| 7:09:38 PM | SashaR | dirmeitis :)
|
| 7:09:47 PM | SashaR | dir Me It Is
|
| 7:09:47 PM | GWG | RobbieF: So try it through a VPN
|
| 7:09:56 PM | alpeck | actually SashaR you are number 1 thru 6
|
| 7:09:56 PM | GWG | SashaR: No one remembers how to spell my name either
|
| 7:10:03 PM | bp9 | Bald Nerd is #1 on duck duck go as well
|
| 7:10:24 PM | bp9 | in the usa :-)
|
| 7:11:11 PM | GWG | I have to check to see if I'm #1 on my name when I search
|
| 7:11:23 PM | GWG | Lately, my cousin the tax lawyer keeps coming up, even though we don't share a first name
|
| 7:12:33 PM | GWG | Darn, he's still on the first page of results
|
| 7:15:10 PM | alpeck | check your hd smart data to see if anything is increasing
|
| 7:15:10 PM | RobbieF | For the win!
|
| 7:16:46 PM | MikeyMike2018 | Ball nerd is number 1in Florida
|
| 7:16:50 PM | alpeck | SAP is always laggy
|
| 7:17:11 PM | bp9 | I had to turn off secure boot to install xubuntu on a new 6-core Dell desktop
|
| 7:18:10 PM | benrob0329 | When wouldnt you turn off secure boot though?
|
| 7:18:19 PM | bp9 | in the BIOS
|
| 7:18:33 PM | MikeyMike2018 | Sacher Rickman is number one in Florida also.
|
| 7:18:48 PM | bp9 | The xubuntu website explains how to do it.
|
| 7:18:57 PM | MikeyMike2018 | I mean sasha
|
| 7:19:06 PM | Solbu | I explicitly shose a system where secure boot can be disabled, otr my distro (Mageia) can't be installed on it
|
| 7:19:09 PM | Solbu | *chose
|
| 7:21:09 PM | bp9 | Sasha you literally rock. Well done!
|
| 7:21:11 PM | bp9 | :-)
|
| 7:22:07 PM | benrob0329 | bp9: I mean, why on earth would you not disable it?
|
| 7:22:18 PM | Solbu | Dawn of mankind, no less. :-)
|
| 7:23:20 PM | bp9 | benrob0329: Actually I've only ever installed linux on laptops or desktops that either did not have secure boot on or was not implemented.
|
| 7:23:31 PM | bp9 | Yes, I install linux on old as dirt machines.
|
| 7:23:47 PM | benrob0329 | Hey, it works
|
| 7:24:13 PM | bp9 | I recently splurged on a higher performance machine and secure boot was there, and xubuntu would not run until I turned off secure boot
|
| 7:25:05 PM | bp9 | Still deciding if I want to dual book (gack!) Win10 and linux
|
| 7:25:19 PM | Solbu | bp9: Speakng of old systems: A few weeks ago I watched someone start a modern GNU/Linux distro in an old 486. It used 11 minutes to boot to the terminal login.
|
| 7:25:23 PM | Garbee[m] | I'd wheel into the bathroom.
|
| 7:26:07 PM | bp9 | Solbu: That would work too but soooo s-l-o-w
|
| 7:26:18 PM | Solbu | Hehe.
|
| 7:26:39 PM | Garbee[m] | Carrie Webb!
|
| 7:26:42 PM | Garbee[m] | For those of us old enough to remember her.
|
| 7:26:56 PM | benrob0329 | Solbu: hmm..might want to disable a few services..and by that I mean all of them
|
| 7:27:15 PM | Solbu | They launced apache, started playing a wave file, and opened a html text only page. The player strugled. :-)
|
| 7:27:41 PM | bp9 | Yah it would struggle. Try running plex on it!
|
| 7:27:55 PM | Solbu | as in, they opened a page on the 486 system, from an external system. Serving the single html page was to much for the system. hehe
|
| 7:29:27 PM | benrob0329 | MediaGoblen and other decentralized platforms FTW! No YouTube dictatorship!
|
| 7:29:59 PM | Solbu | RobbieF: I don't have a youtube account (for privacy reasons), so i cant subscribe even if I wanted to.
|
| 7:30:08 PM | bp9 | Hmm, so browsers are far more complicated than they used to be, and webpages have so much more content behind them, that you need a high performance machine to get any kind of decent ... well... performance.
|
| 7:30:35 PM | Garbee[m] | Decentralized platforms don't solve the core problem of monetization though.
|
| 7:31:13 PM | benrob0329 | They do and they dont
|
| 7:31:41 PM | benrob0329 | You can choose different methods that better suit your content
|
| 7:31:42 PM | bp9 | RobbieF: You'd get more views if you did another "cardigan" music video! LOL LOL
|
| 7:31:48 PM | RobbieF | haha!
|
| 7:32:22 PM | bp9 | Fix the /etc/hosts file on the machines
|
| 7:32:46 PM | benrob0329 | Ads, Paid Content, Free, Subscriptions. Its all options once you are in control of your content.
|
| 7:33:30 PM | benrob0329 | Not only that, but because MediaGoblen, Mastodon, and others helped create ActivityPub things are about to get a lot more federated than they used to be
|
| 7:36:26 PM | TheFu | say "Hello World!";
|
| 7:37:36 PM | Garbee[m] | facebook.com 127.0.0.1
|
| 7:37:41 PM | alpeck | i us to have this problem and once i setup a domain on my network problem went away
|
| 7:37:43 PM | Garbee[m] | Best addition to `/etc/hosts` ever.
|
| 7:38:01 PM | bp9 | Garbee: heck yeah!
|
| 7:38:46 PM | TheFu | Garbee[m]: +1
|
| 7:38:51 PM | Gopher2 | it would be if it was the other way around Garbee[m]
|
| 7:39:18 PM | BobK54 | what is this "windows" you speak of?
|
| 7:39:22 PM | Garbee[m] | oh yea, ips before names.
|
| 7:39:28 PM | Garbee[m] | Good catch gopher2.
|
| 7:39:31 PM | TheFu | I use a curated /etc/hosts file with something like 32K entries to help block unwanted parts of the internet. Have like 150 facebook-related tracking entries.
|
| 7:40:22 PM | TheFu | If you don't use android, then you can setup a local DNS server to handle blocking ... pi-hole is the project.
|
| 7:40:34 PM | bp9 | /etc/hosts... Called it! :-)
|
| 7:41:11 PM | TheFu | New android releases ignore local DNS settings - at least mine do. To access internal web services, I have to use a VPN!
|
| 7:41:24 PM | TheFu | Sasha is on the wrong side?
|
| 7:41:57 PM | bp9 | Well, she's on the other side...
|
| 7:42:04 PM | Solbu | I use bind9 to run a local domain.
|
| 7:42:22 PM | TheFu | https://lifehacker.com/5817447/how-to-block-unwanted-ads-in-all-applications-and-speed-up-web-browsing-with-the-hosts-file
|
| 7:42:36 PM | TheFu | Solbu: Android 7+ ignores it.
|
| 7:42:44 PM | alpeck | I just setup local domain on my router
|
| 7:42:51 PM | Solbu | TheFu: Not the dns server, it does not.
|
| 7:43:09 PM | bp9 | BaldNerd, don't mess her up now!
|
| 7:43:18 PM | TheFu | It does here.
|
| 7:43:31 PM | TheFu | I'm positive.
|
| 7:44:00 PM | Solbu | TheFu: Are you telling me that android Does Not use dns servers?
|
| 7:44:28 PM | Solbu | my bind server _is_ the dns server in use. It is even assigned by dhcp.
|
| 7:44:37 PM | Solbu | :-)
|
| 7:44:38 PM | TheFu | No. I'm saying that if you set DNS in DHCP to be used, Android ignores those settings and uses Google's DNS instead.
|
| 7:45:19 PM | TheFu | Older Android systems (which are out of date), do use DNS settings provided by DHCP servers.
|
| 7:46:05 PM | TheFu | And credit cards allow 60 days to notify them - so 2 statements.
|
| 7:46:58 PM | GWG | Usually, the compromised company offers monitoring services to avoid lawsuits
|
| 7:47:01 PM | TheFu | The only company who notified me of credit card fraud was Apple Computer.
|
| 7:47:40 PM | bp9 | Sasha: OnePlus should be advising the customer, not the card issuers.
|
| 7:47:48 PM | Garbee[m] | Banks don't have tokens, at least not for this.
|
| 7:47:57 PM | Garbee[m] | It is a middle-man merchent services provider.
|
| 7:48:08 PM | TheFu | GWG: With an automatic $19.95 charge after 12 months. That's common. The best answer for credit protection in hte USA is something called a "credit freeze".
|
| 7:48:37 PM | TheFu | https://clark.com/personal-finance-credit/credit-freeze-and-thaw-guide/ has more details.
|
| 7:48:40 PM | Songbird | Hi everyone! I am very late.
|
| 7:48:48 PM | GWG | TheFu: There are a few options
|
| 7:49:55 PM | GWG | It's Coop, not Cup
|
| 7:52:16 PM | TheFu | Parking, Sasha.
|
| 7:53:14 PM | TheFu | Johny-Cab
|
| 7:53:53 PM | bp9 | The public transport system in Melbourne is so well developed that you don't need a vehicle to get (almost) anywhere in the city
|
| 7:54:44 PM | TheFu | Melbourne,FL?
|
| 7:54:53 PM | bp9 | Melbourne Australia
|
| 7:55:06 PM | GWG | bp9: Should I come to Australia?
|
| 7:55:24 PM | bp9 | Sure, why not?
|
| 7:55:41 PM | GWG | bp9: Because it's a long flight?
|
| 7:55:52 PM | TheFu | It is on my travel list. Already hit 5 continents.
|
| 7:56:14 PM | bp9 | only 17 hrs non-stop LAX to Melbourne.
|
| 7:56:28 PM | GWG | bp9: I have a free ticket.
|
| 7:56:40 PM | TheFu | Think the longest segment I've done is only 14 hrs.
|
| 7:57:00 PM | GWG | Longest I did was NRT-DTW
|
| 7:57:01 PM | TheFu | But I've spent 36+ hrs traveling to a few different places.
|
| 7:57:15 PM | TheFu | ATL-NRT here.
|
| 7:57:30 PM | GWG | TheFu: Did you stay in NRT or connect?
|
| 7:57:31 PM | TheFu | Ah ... ATL-ICN was longer.
|
| 7:57:39 PM | bp9 | BHM-
|
| 7:57:41 PM | bp9 | and back
|
| 7:57:45 PM | GWG | Because I did MNL-NRT-DTW-LGA
|
| 7:58:06 PM | TheFu | Yes. I've been through NRT a number of times AND worked in Tokyo 2-weeks at a time for a year.
|
| 7:58:26 PM | GWG | TheFu: I think you said that when I was stranded there
|
| 7:58:31 PM | GWG | I'm afraid they might send me back
|
| 7:58:36 PM | TheFu | ATL-NRT-SIN-BKK-NRT-ATL
|
| 7:58:49 PM | Solbu | Hmm. There is a «stable» focus flickering. Anyone else see that?
|
| 7:58:56 PM | TheFu | Use to do ATL-PDX-NRT for work.
|
| 7:58:57 PM | bp9 | There's a typical Australianism: You Little Ripper!
|
| 7:59:13 PM | GWG | Happily, I can't leave the country right now
|
| 7:59:23 PM | bp9 | Solbu: Yes. I think it might be a streaming artifact, not focus related?
|
| 7:59:35 PM | TheFu | "ripper" has 2 topic areas for me - John-the-Ripper and Jack the Ripper.
|
| 8:00:36 PM | TheFu | http://www.openwall.com/john/
|
| 8:00:59 PM | bp9 | I guess if we download the video later, we'll see if it's focus or streaming artifact
|
| 8:01:06 PM | GWG | No thank you to our pronunciation correctors?
|
| 8:02:40 PM | GWG | RobbieF: You need to spell things phonetically on the prompter
|
| 8:03:17 PM | RobbieF | But I pronounce them wrong, phonetically.
|
| 8:03:50 PM | GWG | RobbieF: I'll teach you one day
|
| 8:03:52 PM | TheFu | RobbieF: I always assumed it was the Canadian accent.
|
| 8:04:47 PM | TheFu | Sasha - was Ender's Game book or movie better?
|
| 8:04:59 PM | TheFu | Dune? Book or movie(s)?
|
| 8:05:30 PM | GWG | Sometimes, I try to pick words to test them on
|
| 8:05:57 PM | Garbee[m] | Great live show.
|
| 8:06:05 PM | Garbee[m] | Thank you.
|
| 8:06:14 PM | bp9 | Excellent show!
|
| 8:06:15 PM | GWG | Like Diathermy
|
| 8:06:40 PM | Solbu | I have a favourite book. The holy Bible. :-)
|
| 8:07:04 PM | TheFu | I enjoy folk tales.
|
| 8:07:47 PM | bp9 | Bye Sasha!
|
| 8:08:03 PM | Songbird | Bye Robbie and Sasha...
|
| 8:08:21 PM | RobbieF | Songbird!
|
| 8:08:24 PM | RobbieF | Been forever!
|
| 8:08:39 PM | Songbird | Yes it has! I will be back next week! :D
|
| 8:08:49 PM | TheFu | Wow - my delay is like 60sec.
|
| 8:08:50 PM | bp9 | And now we have a silent post-show! :-)
|
| 8:09:14 PM | RobbieF | Nice, WB Songbird, we've missed ya
|
| 8:09:31 PM | Songbird | Thanks so much ...glad to be back. Have a great night all!
|
| 8:09:38 PM | RobbieF | You too
|
| 8:09:42 PM | Songbird | :D
|
| 8:10:13 PM | GWG | RobbieF: Playing with your beard?
|
| 8:10:22 PM | RobbieF | my lips are sore
|
| 8:10:28 PM | RobbieF | and I don't have lipbalm
|
| 8:10:30 PM | Garbee[m] | It's so dark.
|
| 8:10:43 PM | bp9 | That;s so messed up with the reversed text
|
| 8:10:47 PM | Garbee[m] | Things are getting kinda intimate now between Robbie and the chatroom...
|
| 8:10:50 PM | GWG | I miss episodes of This Old Nerd...
|
| 8:10:59 PM | GWG | Where RobbieF built a studio
|
| 8:11:09 PM | GWG | Excuse me. This Bald Nerd
|
| 8:11:36 PM | GWG | I wish I read lips right now, I guess
|
| 8:11:43 PM | Garbee[m] | I just played runescape with the show off to the other monitor.
|
| 8:12:45 PM | bp9 | RobbieF: Solbu and I noticed some focus artifacts on the stream, you may want to watch for them in post
|
| 8:13:05 PM | RobbieF | thanks, not sure I can fix such a thing
|
| 8:13:33 PM | RobbieF | unfortunately that's something I'll just have to look at and hopefully have fixed for next show :(
|
| 8:13:34 PM | GWG | I think I should turn this off. Silent RobbieF cast is a bit weird.
|
| 8:13:36 PM | Garbee[m] | If he can't recover ep 11. he can't fix that.
|
| 8:13:38 PM | RobbieF | wish I'd known, sorry.
|
| 8:13:51 PM | bp9 | True but since you've changed a bunch of stuff around, maybe you can figure out what's causing it
|
| 8:14:08 PM | RobbieF | I had quite the rush today to rebuild the set. Had to tear EVERYTHING down (including ALL the wiring) and rewire before the show.
|
| 8:14:21 PM | RobbieF | so I probably screwed something up with the cameras... plus just getting used to the new camera...
|
| 8:14:31 PM | Garbee[m] | so, will there still be shows with 2 co-hosts?
|
| 8:14:34 PM | bp9 | Hopefully your local recording will be fine.
|
| 8:14:37 PM | Solbu | RobbieF: I like the new chairs. :-)
|
| 8:14:53 PM | RobbieF | Cheers
|
| 8:15:06 PM | Solbu | Heh.
|
| 8:15:23 PM | RobbieF | Gonna have to sign off the feed now - gotta post-process this to the best of my limited ability :p
|
| 8:15:26 PM | RobbieF | Will keep the chat up
|
| 8:15:48 PM | Garbee[m] | Have a good evening RobbieF.
|
| 8:15:49 PM | Cee_128d | RobbieF All of that stuff I mentioned in that post was what you need to do to be able to disable secure boot on Old Salts laptop.
|
| 8:16:03 PM | bp9 | RobbieF: Looks like you're getting ready to settle in for a night of video editing. Fun!
|
| 8:16:17 PM | RobbieF | thanks Cee_128d - it was great info and I'm glad I caught the post on the live feed.
|
| 8:16:23 PM | RobbieF | yep bp9 :)
|
| 8:16:33 PM | RobbieF | with a new set to boot - so means redoing all the newsroom assets
|
| 8:16:41 PM | RobbieF | how'd ya's like the teleprompter?
|
| 8:16:43 PM | TheFu | I was 30 min late. Need to watch the finished show in a few days. ;)
|
| 8:16:48 PM | Cee_128d | I'm glad too as I didn't really want to retype it again
|
| 8:16:57 PM | MikeyMike2018 | Robbie or anyone, Is there a small form factor PC that can handle a smallhome server
|
| 8:17:07 PM | GWG | What is smallhome?
|
| 8:17:11 PM | Solbu | RobbieF: Out of quriosity: How long does it usually take to edit an episode?
|
| 8:17:14 PM | RobbieF | Thanks Cee_128d - I appreciated it very much (which is why we went back to the same question)
|
| 8:17:14 PM | bp9 | I liked it. Not sure how Sasha liked it. Still getting used to it, I'm sure. :-)
|
| 8:17:26 PM | MikeyMike2018 | Small server
|
| 8:17:30 PM | Cee_128d | I have trouble typing since my strokes a coople of years ago.
|
| 8:17:38 PM | TheFu | MikeyMike2018: physically small or CPU small or cheap?
|
| 8:17:41 PM | RobbieF | Solbu I am here until 9:30pm which gets me to roughly the news. Then I come in at 5am Thursday and am here until 8.
|
| 8:18:01 PM | TheFu | A 2-shoebox system is half the price of anything smaller.
|
| 8:18:04 PM | RobbieF | Yeah it really depends what you wanna do MikeyMike2018
|
| 8:18:12 PM | RobbieF | like a nas box would be find for sharing / storage.
|
| 8:18:18 PM | MikeyMike2018 | Small and cheap
|
| 8:18:20 PM | RobbieF | but if you want Plex, you might need more cpu / ram
|
| 8:18:47 PM | TheFu | MikeyMike2018: Those 2 choices don't go together.
|
| 8:18:52 PM | Cee_128d | RobbieF, one thing you might want to consider is disabling the YouTube chat and post a link to the main chat here on the live streams.
|
| 8:19:02 PM | TheFu | A NUC isn't cheap, but it is small.
|
| 8:19:14 PM | RobbieF | I wonder if the teleprompter is what was setting off the auto-focus. next week we'll set the focus and turn off auto (which I would have done if I knew how) - haha
|
| 8:19:21 PM | RobbieF | I hope it didn't ruin the show for yas
|
| 8:19:23 PM | MikeyMike2018 | Store files
|
| 8:19:30 PM | TheFu | OTOH, a microATX-based system can be pretty cheap and is relatively small, but nowhere near like a NUC.
|
| 8:19:37 PM | RobbieF | Store Files - get a wee NAS
|
| 8:19:50 PM | RobbieF | 2 drives in a mirror would be my suggestion for cheap and chearful with a bit of protection
|
| 8:19:54 PM | bp9 | RobbieF: I was wondering the same thing. You changed out a lot of stuff by the sounds of it.
|
| 8:20:05 PM | RobbieF | bp9 - changed out EVERYTHING
|
| 8:20:12 PM | RobbieF | tore the whole studio apart
|
| 8:20:16 PM | RobbieF | all today.
|
| 8:20:30 PM | bp9 | RobbieF: setting the focus manually sounds like a good plan.
|
| 8:20:37 PM | TheFu | MikeyMike2018: For file storage and nothing else, then a GigE network and sufficient SATA ports is really the requirements.
|
| 8:20:50 PM | Solbu | Tomorrow could be interesting. The local power company is shuting down the grid for about an hour in our road for maintenance. My UPS can't handle that much outage.
|
| 8:21:08 PM | TheFu | Solbu: Ouch. Read a book?
|
| 8:21:31 PM | TheFu | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlKL_EpnSp8
|
| 8:21:36 PM | Solbu | TheFu: Hehe, I'm supposed to be at work, but I need to stay home for this.
|
| 8:21:52 PM | Cee_128d | @Solbu, Laptop and plug the modem/router into the UPS
|
| 8:22:19 PM | Djwheels | I saw a NUC on Amazon $126 USD
|
| 8:22:22 PM | RobbieF | Dang, focus issues or not, that camera looks hot!
|
| 8:22:23 PM | Solbu | Cee_128d: The laptop can handle it fine. But I have 4 desktops that can't. :-)
|
| 8:22:29 PM | bp9 | Cee_128d: Good thinking, 99!
|
| 8:22:37 PM | TheFu | Cee_128d: A laptop with 10+ hrs of battery would cover it, but ... none of my public services can run on my cheapo-laptop.
|
| 8:23:01 PM | Djwheels | Sorry the server told me to change my user name
|
| 8:23:20 PM | Cee_128d | Hook the UPS to a couple of car batteries and cut down on the number of desktops.
|
| 8:23:26 PM | TheFu | Had a 6 hour power outage here last snowstorm. After 45 min, all the servers shut down so the phone system would stay up 12+ more hrs.
|
| 8:23:27 PM | Solbu | TheFu: LAst week I read an article on new arm based laptops that have 22 hours battery life.
|
| 8:23:57 PM | TheFu | Djwheels: Check the CPU. Bet is was a terrible Atom with "issues."
|
| 8:24:18 PM | TheFu | Solbu: and calculate pi to 5 decimal points in 3 days?
|
| 8:24:31 PM | Solbu | Have no idea. hehe
|
| 8:24:36 PM | Cee_128d | @Solbu I worked on one of them last week for someone who just bought it. Took 5 minutes to boot up and was slower than molassas in the dead of winter
|
| 8:25:02 PM | Solbu | An arm based system have to little juice for my need. I often need to compile packages.
|
| 8:25:04 PM | TheFu | A r-pi v3 with plenty of USB power?
|
| 8:25:20 PM | Cee_128d | Their 7 year old Netbook ran circles around it.
|
| 8:25:24 PM | TheFu | Solbu: APU2c4 - is that an option?
|
| 8:25:28 PM | TheFu | 10W of power.
|
| 8:26:17 PM | TheFu | Oh - you live in Europe - they can't sell those directly over there for some reason. Got mine shipped from Sweden - 3 days. $144.
|
| 8:26:27 PM | Solbu | What is that?
|
| 8:26:35 PM | Solbu | a mainboard?
|
| 8:26:45 PM | Djwheels | raspberry pi 3 as an NAS.
|
| 8:26:46 PM | TheFu | https://www.pcengines.ch/apu2c4.htm
|
| 8:26:53 PM | TheFu | Djwheels: Bad idea.
|
| 8:26:56 PM | Cee_128d | Later folks. Have an old HP mini to fix for a client.
|
| 8:27:06 PM | TheFu | g'night.
|
| 8:27:24 PM | Solbu | TheFu: I have no clue as to what mainboards my systems use. :-)
|
| 8:27:39 PM | TheFu | Djwheels: r-pis don't have much network capacity and USB2 disks are slow, slow, slow.
|
| 8:28:16 PM | Djwheels | I gotta go all. Night
|
| 8:28:18 PM | Solbu | I have really just one requirements for mys systems, it need to be an amd or intel cpu, and it need to be intel graphics.
|
| 8:28:21 PM | Solbu | *my
|
| 8:28:32 PM | RobbieF | Let me tell you about a Pi Killer NAS unit :)
|
| 8:28:41 PM | TheFu | Solbu: The APU2C4 is an AMD-64, low watt, designed for router use, but also supports AMD-v, so it can run virtual machines.
|
| 8:29:21 PM | TheFu | Solbu: A GPU? Why? The APU2 line only has console access. Though you wanted servers?
|
| 8:29:25 PM | Solbu | TheFu: I like that they use coreboot.
|
| 8:29:47 PM | Solbu | TheFu: I don't use headless servers.
|
| 8:30:06 PM | TheFu | Solbu: connect a console, then it isn't headless. ;)
|
| 8:30:16 PM | Solbu | I dont care. :-)
|
| 8:30:39 PM | Solbu | My router is a desktop PC.
|
| 8:30:48 PM | Solbu | … running Mageia 5.
|
| 8:30:49 PM | TheFu | In the case, it is home router sized. Silent. The case provides all the cooling.
|
| 8:31:04 PM | TheFu | Did I mention 10W of power, peak?
|
| 8:31:42 PM | TheFu | 2 USB3 ports and an internal m2.SATA slot with an internal SDHC slot.
|
| 8:31:53 PM | Solbu | My, uhm, 5 running systems use aprox 550W power.
|
| 8:32:07 PM | RobbieF | https://twitter.com/Category5TV/status/956338642519298048
|
| 8:32:15 PM | TheFu | My 7 systems use about 300W of power, if I'm transcoding on an i7.
|
| 8:32:40 PM | Solbu | TheFu: Combined?
|
| 8:32:48 PM | TheFu | RobbieF: "Unable to connect" - ah ... twitter. blocked.
|
| 8:32:51 PM | TheFu | Solbu: yep.
|
| 8:32:58 PM | Solbu | Nice.
|
| 8:33:07 PM | TheFu | I have 2 UPSes which report power used.
|
| 8:33:13 PM | Solbu | My systems also heat the flad during the winter.
|
| 8:33:20 PM | Solbu | *flat
|
| 8:33:21 PM | RobbieF | TheFu is facebook blocked too?
|
| 8:33:27 PM | TheFu | RobbieF: Yep.
|
| 8:33:57 PM | Solbu | Hmm. I suspect that TheFu is in China.
|
| 8:34:14 PM | RobbieF | May as well be if you can't follow our social media profiles!
|
| 8:34:15 PM | RobbieF | :p
|
| 8:34:30 PM | TheFu | And 130K+ other sites ... $ wc -l /etc/hosts
|
| 8:34:30 PM | TheFu | 131538 /etc/hosts
|
| 8:35:05 PM | TheFu | Solbu: Not this week. ;)
|
| 8:35:26 PM | TheFu | I'm back in the USA - outside Atlanta, Ya'll.
|
| 8:35:59 PM | TheFu | Haven't been to China since ... 2008.
|
| 8:36:28 PM | Solbu | A few months ago I watched a movie, where the plot took place in Atlanta: «Who killed Atlantas children»
|
| 8:37:34 PM | TheFu | Lots and lots of major TV shows are shot here these days. Read that Georgia was the 2nd largest film/TV producer in the USA.
|
| 8:38:47 PM | TheFu | Every few months, I'll look through the casting calls to see what is shooting. Missed my chance to be on The Gifted - ok - I had no chance, but I missed the calls for people like me.
|
| 8:39:39 PM | TheFu | Many of the super-hero movies are shot here. Hunger Games series was. Deadshot ...
|
| 8:40:48 PM | Solbu | Aprox 35 years ago dad came hhome saying we whould watch the evening news, as he was in it. Our prime minister was touring the premisses of his workplace.
|
| 8:40:56 PM | TheFu | MacGyver, Black Lightning, The Resident all have open casting now.
|
| 8:41:02 PM | TheFu | Solbu: Very cool.
|
| 8:41:24 PM | Solbu | When the evening news came, and the report was on, we didn't see him, and asked where he was. He said that: Oh, I was behind the camera guy.
|
| 8:41:37 PM | TheFu | I met Gov. Clinton in Arkansas - 10 seconds was it.
|
| 8:42:12 PM | TheFu | Met President Carter as he got off AF1 on his way to Plains, GA in 1979.
|
| 8:42:41 PM | TheFu | Had a conversation with a few Astronauts - John Young is the most famous.
|
| 8:44:01 PM | TheFu | My boss's boss was Michael Coats https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Coats - he headed the JSC Astronaut Office before coming to work as a VP a Loral, where I worked.
|
| 8:44:14 PM | RobbieF | I've met Sasha Rickman.
|
| 8:44:55 PM | TheFu | But there are amazing people everywhere. You never know who you are sitting next to on a plane or on some vacation, or on the subway.
|
| 8:45:42 PM | TheFu | RobbieF: And I see Robbie Ferguson almost every week!
|
| 8:45:56 PM | RobbieF | Isn't that the Bald Nerd?
|
| 8:45:58 PM | Solbu | RobbieF: No way. Really? :-)
|
| 8:46:13 PM | TheFu | OMG!@ You are famous!
|
| 8:47:30 PM | bp9 | Solbu: Howdy Neighbor. I'm in Alabackwards
|
| 8:48:03 PM | bp9 | Solbu: A lots of movies are filmed in Louisiana as well.
|
| 8:48:15 PM | TheFu | Who are the most amazing people you've run into, accidentally, in life? Not famous, just people with interesting stories and lives?
|
| 8:48:42 PM | bp9 | RobbieF: Thank you for the twitter link... you sent me off into the void (twitter) for about 20 minutes :-)
|
| 8:48:55 PM | TheFu | bp9: Yep. Lots a music history in Alabama and Mississippi.
|
| 8:49:24 PM | RobbieF | haha, whoops, bp9 :P
|
| 8:49:36 PM | TheFu | And a pilgrimage to Huntsville is always good.
|
| 8:49:53 PM | bp9 | TheFU: LOVE the space center there.
|
| 8:50:28 PM | bp9 | Used to watch live NASA feeds right off the C-band satellite until the final shuttle mission.
|
| 8:50:36 PM | TheFu | bp9: Yep. Finally got there physically a few yrs ago. Nice trip.
|
| 8:51:12 PM | bp9 | and they stopped the analog feed on the C-band satellite so streaming is really the only option now.
|
| 8:51:13 PM | TheFu | I installed MCC software on their POCC workstations virtually for a few years.
|
| 8:52:41 PM | TheFu | During the POCC tour, I asked about the OS and software and tools used 15 yrs after I'd last touched anything there. They were doing a space walk at the time, so the controllers didn't have time to deal with tourists and the guide didn't know.
|
| 8:53:36 PM | TheFu | In 1996, they had DEC Alphas running OSF/1 networked into the JSC MCC for all TLM.
|
| 8:55:09 PM | TheFu | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaStation mentions them.
|
| 8:55:53 PM | bp9 | Yeah, I got some of those acronyms but it's been too long.
|
| 8:56:06 PM | RobbieF | did the auto focus issue happen throughout, or only during the news?
|
| 8:56:24 PM | bp9 | RobbieF: I want to say throughout but not sure.
|
| 8:56:30 PM | RobbieF | k
|
| 8:56:41 PM | RobbieF | I think it was the teleprompter confusing the cameras
|
| 8:56:41 PM | RobbieF | camera
|
| 8:56:50 PM | bp9 | I'm sure you'll see it on the recording
|
| 8:57:12 PM | bp9 | and yes, I've seen an autofocus camera do that before.
|
| 8:57:48 PM | RobbieF | DSLR are the worst
|
| 8:57:59 PM | RobbieF | but in this case, I think putting a screen in front of the lens made it confused.
|
| 8:58:10 PM | bp9 | makes perfect sense
|
| 8:59:49 PM | bp9 | at first I thought it was a streaming artifact (maybe the roku dynamically changing resolution) but when Solbu mentioned it too, we realized it might be the camera
|
| 9:00:48 PM | RobbieF | gotcha
|
| 9:00:54 PM | RobbieF | will fix 'er up for next week's show.
|
| 9:01:06 PM | bp9 | no worries, we know you will. :-)
|
| 9:02:27 PM | RobbieF | How'd you like the "sit down" set?
|
| 9:02:46 PM | bp9 | BTW well done for causing Sasha to get a blank stare when you asked her what the hosts file was for. hee hee hee
|
| 9:02:55 PM | RobbieF | ha!
|
| 9:03:08 PM | TheFu | RobbieF: I like it.
|
| 9:03:19 PM | TheFu | But I miss the green screen graphics.
|
| 9:03:23 PM | bp9 | I dunno about the sit down set yet. I liked the stand up one.
|
| 9:03:24 PM | RobbieF | Cheers TheFu
|
| 9:03:43 PM | RobbieF | our broadcast system cannot handle chromakey at 4k...
|
| 9:03:51 PM | bp9 | I feel like you had more flexibility with the stand up set esp.. with different cameras
|
| 9:04:01 PM | RobbieF | do you guys remember when we had the brick wall sit down set here at Studio D?
|
| 9:04:11 PM | TheFu | I'm too new for that.
|
| 9:04:24 PM | bp9 | but if you're doing it all with one 4K camera then less moving around on set.
|
| 9:04:30 PM | TheFu | But I did watch about 15 older episodes.
|
| 9:04:33 PM | bp9 | Brick wall. Yes.
|
| 9:05:02 PM | RobbieF | We still have the 1080p cameras
|
| 9:05:47 PM | TheFu | Mine shut off every 30 minutes - something about the mpeg4 license for the PnS cameras.
|
| 9:06:15 PM | RobbieF | so the intention is to use the 4K camera here (new sit down set) and I'm moving the stand up set to the old brick wall area - give it a nicer look, and then also using the green screen again for news.
|
| 9:06:16 PM | RobbieF | So 3 sets.
|
| 9:06:17 PM | TheFu | Have a C920 webcam ... meh. Doesn't compare.
|
| 9:07:15 PM | bp9 | Oh nice. Keeping the stand up set? Good, that will give you LOTS of flexibility.
|
| 9:08:15 PM | bp9 | Uh oh looks like Robbie lost his interwebs.
|
| 9:08:48 PM | TheFu | It is 9pm.
|
| 9:09:14 PM | bp9 | In Atlanta, but I think they are on Central time, aren't they?
|
| 9:09:36 PM | TheFu | Nope. ET.
|
| 9:10:16 PM | bp9 | OK I guess he had to shut it off so he could focus on his post tasks. :-)
|
| 9:10:31 PM | bp9 | Us distracting him cannot be helping any. :-)
|
| 9:10:44 PM | TheFu | And they use cellular data from the studio.
|
| 9:10:59 PM | TheFu | Not DSL or fibre or Cable for the ISP.
|
| 9:11:17 PM | bp9 | Yes, I'd forgotten that.
|
| 9:11:35 PM | TheFu | I suppose many people have nearly unlimited cell-data.
|
| 9:11:46 PM | TheFu | I don't have any data on my $2.95/month cell plan.
|
| 9:12:28 PM | TheFu | Why are you in AL?
|
| 9:20:51 PM | bp9 | I live here now. Moved here 20 yrs ago from Australia
