7:19:45 PMABQTKY Greetings D-S-P!!
7:26:37 PMGarbee I'm a little late to the party. 🎇
7:27:08 PMGuest_0006 Thanks for explaining the delay from last week, that is bad when a server decides "bye-bye" and releases the blue smoke.
7:30:05 PMGarbee Wow
7:30:09 PMGarbee That import time is crazy.
7:31:22 PMGarbee Why do a full EC2 instance when a $5 or $10 Linode box should handle it perfectly at a fixed rate?
7:31:34 PMGarbee Linode or other VPS host.
7:31:38 PMGuest_0006 when they want to go they go. I have had brand new out of the box equipment drop dead within minutes of power up
7:31:45 PMGarbee Yup will do
7:31:52 PMGarbee Now is not the time for that deep conversation.
7:32:59 PMGarbee Guest_0006 , That's just bad manufacturing from materials/poor QA.
7:33:03 PMDennis_Kelley @MarshMan do you know how to recover a password for NEMS
7:34:00 PMMarshMan Don't think you can @Dennis_Kelley
7:34:26 PMDennis_Kelley would have to reinstall it
7:34:29 PMGarbee I'm glad for cell plans I have a good set of prepaid choices in the US. I just hopped between 3 to test coverage for a few weeks each.
7:34:46 PMGarbee Prepaid wins for data here IMO given my needs.
7:34:55 PMMarshMan @Dennis_Kelley hopefully you have a backup file
7:35:29 PMnoeman5 I usually buy a phone that's one or two generations from new, that way I'm not paying ridiculous costs for a phone. My Galaxy S6 took a swim , so now looking at an S7 or S8 as a replacement.
7:36:17 PMMarshMan My needs are few regarding cell phone, prepaid for me
7:36:47 PMnoeman5 Garbee, I agree, prepaid is a good way to go.
7:38:35 PMGarbee haha, case. Yup. First thing I do with any phone.
7:38:48 PMGarbee I put the SIM card in, put it in the case, then do first boot.
7:39:23 PMMarshMan I dropped one of my phones before I had it in a case
7:39:32 PMMarshMan It was fine until i Kicked it
7:39:58 PMMarshMan and it slid acroos the parking lot
7:40:12 PMSolbu This Week in silent TV.
7:43:21 PMagamotto Hallo all, what's up?
7:44:13 PMGarbee Heyo Agamotto!
7:44:20 PMGarbee Been a while. How ya doing?
7:44:49 PMnoeman5 Those SIM card tools disappear faster than a twinkie in a kindergarten
7:44:50 PMGarbee The technical term for that "tab" is "notch"
7:44:54 PMGarbee 😉
7:45:53 PMagamotto I am well, just have been busy... real life getting in the way for a bit.
7:46:48 PMagamotto The guy that murdered my cousin three years ago has finally been sentenced - 45years, no parole, must serve all of it. I can live with that.
7:48:24 PMGarbee Wow. I'm sorry to hear about the family member agamotto.
7:48:48 PMSolbu The FM network was dismantled in Norway last year, so no FM radio here. :-) It's all DAB-radio (Digital radio)
7:48:50 PMGarbee Much ❤ your way.
7:49:14 PMGarbee Wow
7:49:17 PMGarbee That's neat
7:50:08 PMnoeman5 The 1st time he said the phone's name, I thought he said "poke a phone" 😃
7:51:04 PMSolbu SashaR, RobbieF: Can one put custom OS on the phone? I.e.: Is the bootloader locked?
7:51:23 PMGarbee The first thing I do on a new phone is I go to https://www.category5.tv/donate
7:51:30 PMGarbee Especially those I see in stores.
7:51:56 PMSashaR 😃
7:52:26 PMagamotto It sucks, but that is life sometimes.
7:54:09 PMGarbee Proof that Robbie did not play test this ahead of time.
7:55:05 PMGarbee 2nd SIM could also be for a Work line.
7:55:17 PMGarbee 1 for personal, 1 for work. No separate device.
7:55:41 PMSashaR That's a great idea 😃
7:56:11 PMnoeman5 @RobbieF , does it have wireless charging capability?
8:00:02 PMGarbee The camera looks decent enough on this end.
8:00:14 PMSolbu One of my old phones (from 2012-ish) I charged once a month. My current phione I charge every 2 weeks.
8:00:31 PMnoeman5 I can almost read your notes.
8:01:47 PMGarbee I'm waiting for the new iPhones to be announced. I'm hoping USB-C will come with the new generation.
8:02:57 PMGarbee Sasha did really well with the Kubernetes name all things considered. Good job.
8:03:45 PMGarbee Let me put it this way.. I expected you to not get that word at all.
8:05:54 PMGarbee I'm so impressed with how well she is doing this story.
8:06:06 PMGarbee All the tongue twisters of acronyms.
8:06:15 PMGarbee I wouldn't even do that well reading it off.
8:06:24 PMGarbee does this stuff daily. Yea it's hard.
8:06:52 PMagamotto It is really hard in English, due to the lack of accent marks
8:08:05 PMSolbu Why reinvent the wheel when you already got feet. :-)
8:08:29 PMGarbee I say Robbie's work is acceptable.
8:08:35 PMGarbee That's how you know he's safe.
8:09:56 PMSolbu Trust that is lost, is harder to get back than it was originally. Sometimes it's lost for good.
8:10:18 PMagamotto agreed
8:10:27 PMagamotto I feel that way about my former employer
8:10:30 PMnoeman5 yep
8:12:15 PMnoeman5 Number mania!
8:14:14 PMnoeman5 #SashaR good job!
8:15:19 PMnoeman5 Sorry, fat fingers, small keyboard, Yay @SashaR
8:16:36 PMRonnicat I am so happy
8:16:42 PMnoeman5 Moonbase Alpha!
8:17:05 PMagamotto ? Now there is something I haven't heard of in a few decades.
8:17:17 PMnoeman5 lol
8:17:29 PMGarbee Gigabit sure, but what's the capacity it can hold total?
8:17:57 PMGarbee If 200 people bring one satellite down, is it really that major leap forward?
8:18:23 PMagamotto For those 200, possibly?
8:18:30 PMGarbee Wait, Sasha knows what a modem is?
8:19:04 PMRonnicat I will let you all know when and if it works.
8:19:18 PMGarbee I want that Pinebook Pro....
8:19:34 PMRonnicat we all do @Garbee
8:19:49 PMnoeman5 @Garbee me too!
8:20:48 PMnoeman5 I've already got the bug. Have a Raspberry Pi and an Orange Pi, looking to get a Rock 64 next.
8:21:28 PMGarbee I don't have any real need for the SoC's. So I leave them alone.
8:21:47 PMGarbee er, SBCs.
8:22:00 PMRonnicat I have been debating on which one cause I want to tinker with things too
8:22:46 PMSweSG Hi!
8:22:50 PMnoeman5 @Garbee I don't have a NEED either, but they are fun to play with.
8:23:20 PMGarbee Ok, I don't see a need for me to have fun that way.
8:23:27 PMGarbee I think I'd be more bored.
8:23:28 PMRonnicat Hi
8:23:41 PMMarshMan Do you have fun @Garbee ?
8:24:02 PMGarbee I do however think they are super useful for experimentation. Like if I wanted to test actual load balancing on server hardware. I could minimize a test bed and do that there.
8:24:07 PMnoeman5 Fun is not logical. Ha Ha
8:24:24 PMGarbee @MarshMan As most would testify, no I do not have fun.
8:24:38 PMMarshMan LOL same here
8:24:52 PMRonnicat lol
8:24:57 PMGarbee I only insulted Sasha about 5 times.
8:25:07 PMDennis_Kelley Great Show
8:25:12 PMMarshMan @RobbieF @SashaR how is Roy W Nash doing?
8:25:14 PMnoeman5 5:25 here in Oregon
8:25:22 PMMarshMan You're slipping @Garbee
8:25:38 PMGarbee Things go so much smoother without the beard guy slowing things down with his fear.
8:26:30 PMSashaR Goodnight you darling people 😃
8:26:32 PMGarbee The video transfer will be done Tuesday.
8:26:34 PMagamotto I have fun as often as I can... keeps me sane
8:26:50 PMGarbee True
8:26:54 PMGarbee Very true interpretation Robbie
8:26:57 PMMarshMan He's NOT wrong!
8:26:58 PMnoeman5 I have a theory about conspiracy theories
8:27:19 PMRonnicat Good-night
8:27:43 PMMarshMan Fear is the mind killer
8:27:44 PMGarbee I'm all for him voicing his concerns. But I do think there needs to be a chess timer for him during a show.
8:28:05 PMGarbee That's how I'll leave that conversation.
8:28:26 PMnoeman5 Going all the way back to Dune @MarshMan ?
8:28:59 PMMarshMan Showing my age?
8:29:00 PMGarbee Peace out Robbie.
8:29:02 PMTomDeCat good show
8:29:05 PMGarbee Try to have a decent evening
8:32:45 PMRobbieF https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/545417075221463060/IMG_20190213_200030.jpg

8:32:49 PMSweSG I missed the whole thing :/
8:33:20 PMagamotto It happens. I can't get video working today, so I missed out as well.
8:34:24 PMnoeman5 I had that happen last week, and then I was looking for the show online and on the Roku and it didn't appear. I thought maybe they didn't do a show last week, now I know why.
8:35:34 PMagamotto I have a newer gfx card, and I am still working the kinks out.
8:36:04 PMagamotto I will away... I need to get ready for tomorrow.
8:39:00 PMMarshMan The wide angle lens does suffer from a bit of barrel distortion if held too close too close to the subject
8:39:44 PMRobbieF Makes me skinny, so I have no qualms. 😃
8:39:45 PMMarshMan It does however do a nice job of depth of field reduction in portrait mode to make the subject stand out
8:40:10 PMRobbieF yeah I dig that.
8:41:06 PMMarshMan All wide angle lens suffer from barrel distortion, they have to be REAL expensive to minimize it
8:41:17 PMnoeman5 Since you introduced it on the show, I've been looking at the Xiaomi phones. Looks like a nice lineup.
8:44:05 PMMarshMan I did spend time at the beginning of the show getting the live feed to play in Firefox on Fedora
8:44:41 PMMarshMan HTML5 isn't fully supported OOTB
8:49:41 PMnoeman5 Wow, everyone's gone quiet, guess it's time to sign off.
8:57:50 PMRobbieF I'm editing 😛
8:57:52 PMMarshMan @RobbieF is working feverishly to try and squeeze out every bit of speed from USB2
8:57:53 PMRobbieF mad rush after the show
8:57:57 PMRobbieF ha yep
9:15:35 PMbwithage @RobbieF Thanks for the review of the Xiaomi Pocophone F1 . I'm still leaning towards this phone for my upgrade. Just need to scrape up some $.
