| 6:58:08 PM | TheFu | Did I miss the Xmas stuff that santa brought?
|
| 6:58:18 PM | Garbee | Just spend like 2-3 minutes covering what tech ya'll bought for x-mas gifts.
|
| 6:58:22 PM | Garbee | And leave it at that.
|
| 6:59:38 PM | Garbee | Jeff's ability to Amazon... -3/10
|
| 6:59:53 PM | TheFu | Jeff - amazon-challenged.
|
| 7:00:03 PM | TheFu | Might need to stick with ebay.
|
| 7:00:07 PM | Garbee | No, Negative 3 out of 10
|
| 7:00:17 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Hi Gang
|
| 7:00:19 PM | TheFu | NEGATIVE

|
| 7:01:37 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Hello @Jeff Weston @SashaR and @RobbieF
|
| 7:02:16 PM | Garbee | I think the Discord chat thing crashed
|
| 7:02:22 PM | Dennis_Kelley | Happy New Year to you also!
|
| 7:02:28 PM | Garbee | It's already stuck on something way behind.
|
| 7:03:38 PM | TheFu | Discord is dead Jim.
|
| 7:04:20 PM | Garbee | They'll get to it in a break.
|
| 7:04:46 PM | Dennis_Kelley | my favorite moment of all time is when I started to watch the show . many years ago!
|
| 7:04:53 PM | MarshMan | Thhank you @SashaR
|
| 7:05:12 PM | TheFu | LUKSdump? Was that in 2018?
|
| 7:05:31 PM | Dennis_Kelley | believe it was TheFu
|
| 7:05:40 PM | Garbee | Lol, "Blockchain will keep track of who in the family gets what gift for whom" That would be hilarious.
|
| 7:08:03 PM | Dennis_Kelley | that chat that is stuck! funny
|
| 7:08:05 PM | Garbee | The irony that the discord chat is dead on screen right now...
|
| 7:08:26 PM | GWG | The 'old' way?
|
| 7:08:37 PM | Garbee | This is Garbee on IRC.
|
| 7:09:02 PM | Garbee | Yes, GWG you are old.
|
| 7:09:06 PM | Solbu | This is Solbu on the Internet.
|
| 7:09:18 PM | GWG | Just because something is classic doesn't mean it is bad
|
| 7:09:36 PM | GWG | RobbieF's hair may be gone, but IRC lives on.
|
| 7:09:36 PM | Garbee | Oh "classic" that's putting a positive spin on it.
|
| 7:17:50 PM | Solbu | :-)
|
| 7:18:56 PM | TheFu | Solbu, who is the question for?
|
| 7:19:14 PM | Solbu | TheFu: See the quotes? :-)
|
| 7:19:33 PM | Solbu | Imagine them being a comic talk bubble. :-)
|
| 7:19:35 PM | SashaR | 😃
|
| 7:20:02 PM | TheFu | whooosh.
|
| 7:20:08 PM | TheFu | ;)
|
| 7:21:34 PM | Solbu | TheFu: I was pictureing a manager scolding a tech person for not doing all tests before shipping something. :-)
|
| 7:21:57 PM | SashaR | I can help with said test for sure!
|
| 7:23:29 PM | GWG | Sure, Discord is 'better'. But yet it keeps freezing on you
|
| 7:24:12 PM | Garbee | Should we let everyone know Roy. W. Nash is OK on air?
|
| 7:24:18 PM | MarshMan | That's called marriage @SashaR
|
| 7:24:38 PM | RobbieF | Absolutely, @Garbee we will mention it at the top of the news.
|
| 7:24:45 PM | Garbee | Ok cool
|
| 7:24:50 PM | TheFu | Spouses have that towards their better halves.
|
| 7:25:08 PM | Dennis_Kelley | called selective hearing
|
| 7:25:10 PM | BobK54 | I got some socks for Christmas which say "I have selective hearing"
|
| 7:25:35 PM | Garbee | @BobK54, Um... Aren't those just general socks?
|
| 7:25:45 PM | Garbee | It doesn't need to be Christmas for selective hearing to be used.
|
| 7:26:36 PM | Solbu | DRM – Digital Restriction Management.
|
| 7:26:45 PM | TheFu | Don't put the socks into your ears.
|
| 7:26:46 PM | MarshMan | It wouldn't be a true show without a @SashaR do do do.
|
| 7:26:50 PM | Solbu | it is restricting, not protecting the user.
|
| 7:27:43 PM | Garbee | Fake nice.
|
| 7:27:50 PM | TheFu | Sasha makes me smile.
|
| 7:27:51 PM | BobK54 | @Garbee - I think my socks were actually for my wife....so she remembers and doesnt get annoyed at me.....AGAIN
|
| 7:28:01 PM | Garbee | hahah
|
| 7:29:13 PM | Dennis_Kelley | something
|
| 7:29:16 PM | MarshMan | Scroll baby scroll
|
| 7:29:21 PM | Garbee | 🤦
|
| 7:29:32 PM | GWG | Robbie Ferguson, the Mr. Rogers of Tech.
|
| 7:29:48 PM | GWG | Sorry, most random thing I could think of.
|
| 7:29:48 PM | Garbee | I demand the emoji's be made larger.
|
| 7:29:51 PM | MarshMan | Where's his cardigan?
|
| 7:29:54 PM | Garbee | My facepalm should not be missed
|
| 7:30:41 PM | MarshMan | https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/530181169245978644/a21d83f0-03a3-4432-b2de-a6eed73986ed.png
|
| 7:31:32 PM | MarshMan | It's a different image.
|
| 7:31:44 PM | Solbu | Nice, MarshMan.
|
| 7:33:09 PM | TheFu | DVDs collect fingerprints and tiny hands seem to touch only the shiny side.
|
| 7:33:26 PM | MarshMan | Love Inspector Lewis
|
| 7:34:23 PM | Garbee | Wow, a rush of tired just came over me. I'm gonna lay down and try to sleep early tonight.
|
| 7:34:27 PM | Garbee | Ya'll have a good one.
|
| 7:34:37 PM | TheFu | g'night old man.
|
| 7:34:39 PM | MarshMan | Night bro
|
| 7:35:44 PM | TheFu | We can rip _mosts_ DVDs, but not all.
|
| 7:37:30 PM | Dennis_Kelley | I am a rebal
|
| 7:37:52 PM | GWG | I already compared RobbieF to Mr. Rogers. What other thing can I say?
|
| 7:39:34 PM | MarshMan | 🥓
|
| 7:43:00 PM | TheFu | Much easier on Linux ... add a PPA, apt install ...
|
| 7:43:28 PM | Solbu | TheFu: On Ubuntu derived systems, yes. :_)
|
| 7:44:03 PM | TheFu | Jeff ... huh?
|
| 7:45:43 PM | TheFu | Ah. much clearer.
|
| 7:46:55 PM | TheFu | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs is a guide for doing this on Ubuntu or derivatives.
|
| 7:47:52 PM | TheFu | I love that we can include all the audio languages and subtitles easily too.
|
| 7:49:14 PM | TheFu | and the handbrake PPA how-to: https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/handbrake_releases
|
| 7:55:33 PM | Solbu | RobbieF, Jeff: What if one just want to rip without changing the encoding? (DVD encoding is MPEG2)
|
| 7:56:01 PM | TheFu | vobcopy is a tool for that.
|
| 7:56:20 PM | Solbu | TheFu: I know, I'm asking for the benefit of viewers. :-)
|
| 7:56:28 PM | TheFu | I don't think Plex will play them, but Kodi will with all the menus.
|
| 7:58:29 PM | GWG | The tagging is always a pain though
|
| 7:58:37 PM | TheFu | Some commercial DVDs cannot be ripped this easily. Mainly those for extremely popular films or Disney stuff.
|
| 7:58:47 PM | TheFu | "tagging"?
|
| 7:58:48 PM | GWG | TheFu: You can sometimes if creative
|
| 7:59:03 PM | GWG | I just am not very organized sometimes
|
| 8:00:11 PM | Dennis_Kelley | i will have to setup a plex media server and start getting my dvds playing again
|
| 8:00:30 PM | TheFu | Kodi and Plex mandate some organization, but we don't have to use S01E01 - 101 is the same, assuming nothing else in the filename "looks" like a season/episode.
|
| 8:00:41 PM | GWG | I just redid my home theater setup and was testing it with a copy of a Lincoln Center production of Candide.
|
| 8:00:53 PM | Solbu | Speaking of copy protection, I remember when drm om audio CDs came around. The fun part was that the protection only worked on Windows. :-)
|
| 8:01:07 PM | TheFu | Pi can't do 4K video, but if you don't need that, they are fine.
|
| 8:01:24 PM | Solbu | TheFu: I usually use 1x01 for season tagging.
|
| 8:02:34 PM | TheFu | Yep Solbu, lots of options for filenames. The_100 TV show required using S02E06, since that is the highest preferred regex.
|
| 8:03:30 PM | Solbu | Kodi doesn't care what prefix one use. What Plex does is of no concern. It's proprietary, so I don't use it.
|
| 8:03:58 PM | TheFu | I think Plex is a fork of Kodi from long, long, ago.
|
| 8:04:36 PM | GWG | The old XBMC
|
| 8:04:39 PM | TheFu | I moved my Kodi library into plex fairly painlessly. The TV, Movies, Music, Photos and filenaming was the same.
|
| 8:05:55 PM | Solbu | TheFu: It is a fork from when it was still called XBMC, then they relicenced it to a closed source license.
|
| 8:07:48 PM | TheFu | India has lots of human assets, so it is cheaper to pay a human to wash your clothes than to buy a washing machine.
|
| 8:11:31 PM | Solbu | I remember when I grew up. I'm born in 1973. Mom used to phone the store, saying what groceries whe wanted to buy, and they shipped it to us by sending it on the bus, which dropped it on the side of the road in our driveway.
|
| 8:12:05 PM | Solbu | I think we where billed once a month.
|
| 8:12:32 PM | TheFu | In Asia, it is common to pick up food on your walk home, daily.
|
| 8:12:58 PM | TheFu | Very fresh and if you don't have a fridge, very handy.
|
| 8:13:42 PM | Solbu | Jeff: The groceries was shipped in a cardboard box. :-)
|
| 8:13:49 PM | TheFu | If you don't shop with a vehicle, you'll tend to shop more often with what you can carry.
|
| 8:15:53 PM | TheFu | A remote operator can probably monitor 4-8 trains concurrently.
|
| 8:17:40 PM | TheFu | Hopefully, they will start and carefully grow the workload per remote monitor.
|
| 8:17:44 PM | MarshMan | Back in 2018?
|
| 8:18:34 PM | Solbu | Another benefit of automated train systems is the removal of human errors, which depending on the error can result in casualties.
|
| 8:19:11 PM | MarshMan | Would I be a Martian MarshMan?
|
| 8:19:36 PM | TheFu | Except external-to-the-train human errors ... like people in rural areas trying to get across the tracks at the last second.
|
| 8:21:47 PM | TheFu | ISS is inside the Van Allen protection. Also, both twins were astronauts.
|
| 8:21:57 PM | Solbu | TheFu: Also, automated systems often can't tell the difference between a human and an animal. In norway, the trains never stop when they hit animals, they don't even try to stop as it's usualy useless. THe brakes doens't fully engage before they hit the animal. So they push on and kill the animal rather than causing painfull injury that can take several days before the animal dies if it's not found.
|
| 8:22:35 PM | TheFu | The moon shot for a private person is just an orbit, no landing.
|
| 8:24:59 PM | Solbu | Heh. That's a nice pun. be mine-full on crypo currency.
|
| 8:25:58 PM | Solbu | This was the best show so far this year.
|
| 8:27:00 PM | GWG | No one did the feast of the 7 fishes
|
| 8:27:02 PM | GWG | ?
|
| 8:27:31 PM | TheFu | great show!
|
| 8:28:22 PM | MarshMan | Later gators!!
|
| 8:28:54 PM | MarshMan | 🐊 🐊
|
| 8:31:00 PM | GWG | This is my favorite show. The brick wall show
|
| 8:38:57 PM | RobbieF | Thank you everyone! I hope you enjoyed the show 😃
