| 6:59:12 PM | MaineGeek75 | rofl
|
| 6:59:54 PM | noeman5 | @SashaR 's slippers are like Lister's dayglo orange Moon boots. (Red Dwarf reference)
|
| 6:59:59 PM | stormchaser3000 | not a hard drive crash, however, I have had a solid state crash
|
| 7:00:14 PM | stormchaser3000 | I don't know how that happened as it was a rather new one
|
| 7:00:50 PM | SweSG | MaineGeek75: I have a Samsung NVMe SSD. 970.
|
| 7:01:15 PM | noeman5 | stormchaser3000, I've heard that is a problem with SSD's, that they can go without any warning whatsoever.
|
| 7:01:24 PM | G_Dog1985_ | Oh boy
|
| 7:01:25 PM | MaineGeek75 | SweSG, I actually purchased a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500gb. LOVE IT!
|
| 7:01:46 PM | SweSG | Good stuff!
|
| 7:01:48 PM | MaineGeek75 | I have had 2 ssd's fail on me. granted they were "Cheap" sandisk drives
|
| 7:02:20 PM | MaineGeek75 | I purchased a WD 500gb ssd, it worked good, but wasn't as fast as I wanted. Then got the EVO and OMG I love it
|
| 7:02:38 PM | MaineGeek75 | boot up is like 10 seconds..give or take 2 or 3 seconds lol
|
| 7:03:26 PM | Solbu | Jeff: A few years ago, one of my computer's power supply exploded, taking the system down with it. Thanckfully I only needed a new PSU, and it was bak online.
|
| 7:03:31 PM | stormchaser3000 | fire inside a computer case... oh dear
|
| 7:03:37 PM | MaineGeek75 | ssd drives can still get really hot.
|
| 7:05:08 PM | SweSG | Mine is at 43 degrees now.

|
| 7:06:04 PM | noeman5 | I've watched RAM fry before.
|
| 7:09:22 PM | MaineGeek75 | Info on my drive

|
| 7:10:05 PM | SweSG | Nice!
|
| 7:11:37 PM | noeman5 | I found it odd that the "Fat Burn" setting on the treadmill at the gym has me work at a lower rate than the "Cardio" setting. So now I routinely use the "Cardio" setting and even bump it up a little to work harder.
|
| 7:12:46 PM | MaineGeek75 | fat burn actually has you keep your heart rate down, but cardio wants you to be above a certain bpm. I'm always in fat burn unless I really get going lol
|
| 7:13:08 PM | SweSG | MaineGeek75: Is a small Lenovo https://i.imgur.com/TmOxuRE.jpg
|
| 7:13:45 PM | MaineGeek75 | that a full system / workstation?
|
| 7:13:54 PM | MaineGeek75 | or those your servers?
|
| 7:14:00 PM | ᑭOᑭᔕIᑕᒪE | I need that pinebook
|
| 7:14:49 PM | Solbu | «I feel it in my finger…»
|
| 7:16:44 PM | SweSG | MaineGeek75: Yep! i5a. 7400T, 16GB RAM, 2 SSDs. NVMe + 2.5" SSD.
|
| 7:16:47 PM | Solbu | My new years resolution is 1920x1080
|
| 7:17:31 PM | stormchaser3000 | lol
|
| 7:17:33 PM | MaineGeek75 | I use my fitbit Blaze along with https://www.myfitnesspal.com to track everything and it helps.
|
| 7:17:42 PM | noeman5 | I recently raised my daily step count goal. I easily blew through the former goal daily, so I had to do something.
|
| 7:17:42 PM | stormchaser3000 | I would love to see that crimson fang fight
|
| 7:17:47 PM | SweSG | One runs Linux and the other Windows.
|
| 7:18:09 PM | MaineGeek75 | @SweSG#0000 nice
|
| 7:18:25 PM | stormchaser3000 | has anyone here ever tested any of the Purism laptops?
|
| 7:19:01 PM | stormchaser3000 | (sorry about the random question, however, the information would be relevant to me)
|
| 7:21:08 PM | SweSG | Not me!
|
| 7:21:48 PM | noeman5 | With all of those electronics in the house, you need a salt lamp to help the atmosphere balance out.
|
| 7:22:31 PM | MaineGeek75 | stormchaser, I just looked it up. Looks like a nice laptop! I looked at the 15", I7 dual core, 32gb ddr4 ram, 4k display...stats look nice on it.
|
| 7:28:02 PM | stormchaser3000 | I was considering saving up for one
|
| 7:28:09 PM | noeman5 | All my mobile electronics are micro-usb except for the PinePhone (USB-C)
|
| 7:28:40 PM | G_Dog1985_ | Oh boy
|
| 7:28:45 PM | MaineGeek75 | for $1600, it should be a heck of a system :P.
|
| 7:30:53 PM | MaineGeek75 | wow for the layout that I would want, $2176! wow...that's more than my desktop system 😛
|
| 7:31:07 PM | MaineGeek75 | don't think my wife would be very pleased with me 😛
|
| 7:32:17 PM | stormchaser3000 | it isn't the best in terms of specifications, however, I am willing to pay that much for a disabled intel management engine and physical hardware kill switches for the Microphone, Camera, Wifi, and Bluetooth. I need such security options because I work for the college that I am attending. The law where I am requires (at least to my understanding) that employees of state-funded institutions protect that information of their
|
| 7:32:17 PM | stormchaser3000 | clients
|
| 7:33:01 PM | stormchaser3000 | it also has the option of using a coreboot variant called Pureboot which can be configured to use a usb key to decrypt the ssd
|
| 7:33:02 PM | MaineGeek75 | oh wow. well the kill switches are a big deal then.
|
| 7:33:27 PM | MaineGeek75 | ya I saw that, extra i think $299 or something like that
|
| 7:33:34 PM | noeman5 | Now if they would come up with a multi-slot cordless charger.
|
| 7:33:50 PM | MaineGeek75 | $249, but still worth it if thats something you would need
|
| 7:34:16 PM | stormchaser3000 | my thoughts exactly
|
| 7:34:25 PM | MaineGeek75 | @noeman5 , I have seen tripple wireless chargers but not multi like this
|
| 7:34:57 PM | noeman5 | A triple might work for me. I'll explore it.
|
| 7:35:49 PM | MaineGeek75 | I will see if I can find it online and link it to you
|
| 7:35:57 PM | noeman5 | thanks!
|
| 7:36:17 PM | SweSG | Someone who has Bandcamp in here? Bought some albums there. .flac : https://bandcamp.com/swesg
|
| 7:36:45 PM | SweSG | Good stuff!

|
| 7:37:48 PM | MaineGeek75 | and of course use Cat5's links to get the stuff, but those are triple chargers.
|
| 7:39:45 PM | noeman5 | Thanks! That first one looks good. They all seem to be about $35.
|
| 7:40:06 PM | SweSG | I want to keep everything offline!
|
| 7:40:21 PM | MaineGeek75 | ya, not a bad price for them
|
| 7:40:36 PM | noeman5 | SweSG, agreed. I still have LibreOffice on all of my computers
|
| 7:41:21 PM | TheFu | Solbu, any interest in starting a self-hosting/Anti-cloud podcast?
|
| 7:41:53 PM | noeman5 | I have to use Office365 on a Chromebox at work, I hate it.
|
| 7:42:32 PM | Solbu | Noo. You would never get me as the host of anything that means talking into a microphone.
|
| 7:43:04 PM | Solbu | I can be a guest, sure. but a regular podcaster, no thank you.
|
| 7:44:57 PM | TheFu | audio only. No video. Does that help?
|
| 7:45:19 PM | Solbu | [01:42:32] (@Solbu): Noo. You would never get me as the host of anything that means talking into a microphone.
|
| 7:46:04 PM | TheFu | You can wear a mask. ;)
|
| 7:46:29 PM | Solbu | You don't get it. «talking into a Microphone».
|
| 7:47:09 PM | SashaR | Is it a voice thing? I don't like mine... so I do get it!
|
| 7:47:16 PM | TheFu | Use a vocoder.
|
| 7:48:27 PM | Solbu | SashaR: It does mean I have to speak english, and not my native language. That is a to big a hurdle for me to do regularely.
|
| 7:49:26 PM | TheFu | Don't speak English. Subtitles, especially if they don't match the words at all, would be great!
|
| 7:49:50 PM | SashaR | Oh yes.... I do have co-workers with the same struggle. I see they have a hard time getting the idea in their head out in a way that seems comfortable for them.
|
| 7:50:21 PM | TheFu | Sorta like the imported Ninja Warrior from Japan. The subtitles don't follow the Japanese at all.
|
| 7:50:37 PM | SashaR | But I still encourage lots of talking (because I don't mind waiting for inner-translations)
|
| 7:51:17 PM | ABQTKY | But Solbu, your English is great! (But just in case, maybe the 'G' knows how to do Norwegian to English in real time???) Don't mind me, I'm just babbling tonight.
|
| 7:51:31 PM | Solbu | ABQTKY: I write english quite well. hehe.
|
| 7:51:55 PM | Solbu | ABQTKY: I remember 21 years ago, someone asked me in a channel if I came from a certain town in Texas… :-)
|
| 7:52:10 PM | TheFu | Better than I write German or Spanish, most certainly!
|
| 7:52:32 PM | Solbu | Men jeg snakker norsk aldeles utmerket… ;-)
|
| 7:52:52 PM | ABQTKY | How about a 'podcast' that's in TEXT. We can even coin a new name for such a thing! Newsgroup. 8-)
|
| 7:53:31 PM | TheFu | Or ... IRC channel?
|
| 7:53:55 PM | Solbu | ABQTKY: I am and will always be a sound engineer. So I can run the sound of a podcast or livestream like cat5.
|
| 7:54:49 PM | TheFu | Men det meste av verden forstår ikke norsk!
|
| 7:56:47 PM | Solbu | Hehe, :-)
|
| 7:57:05 PM | Solbu | It's the Borg! Ignore the signal!
|
| 7:57:06 PM | TheFu | I've been playing w/ text2wave the last few weeks.
|
| 7:57:48 PM | ABQTKY | Solbu Don't mind me, I'm just pestering. (Okay, apparently the chatroom doesn't do much with various languages. But I wonder if the chatroom can do test in various languages... Hmmm, a quick test seems to indicate that the answer to that one is 'ahh, no.'
|
| 7:57:51 PM | TheFu | It is part of festival - a TTS engine.
|
| 7:58:48 PM | ABQTKY | Alternate orthographies don't seem to work quite so well in chat. Oh, well.
|
| 7:58:55 PM | TheFu | For translations, need to avoid google, apertium is an option.
|
| 7:59:55 PM | TheFu | But apertium doesn't attempt to translate as native speech order - it retains the noun, verb, adverb order of the source language.
|
| 8:00:36 PM | TheFu | adjective order too.
|
| 8:01:07 PM | TheFu | Rio Grande vs Grand River, for example.
|
| 8:01:07 PM | Solbu | TheFu: But there already exist a self-hosting/Anti-cloud podcast. I believe it's called a Richard Stallman talk… ;-)
|
| 8:01:50 PM | TheFu | Cloud computing is a trap, warns GNU founder Richard Stallman
|
| 8:03:01 PM | SweSG | Clouds are just other people's computers!
|
| 8:03:49 PM | TheFu | As long as we consider cloud solutions as rentals, not ownership, then we can each decide if that rental price is a "value" or not.
|
| 8:05:39 PM | TheFu | Bandwidth isn't always available for everyone. Not everyone has a 50+Mbps down internet connection.
|
| 8:06:25 PM | SweSG | I have 500/500 :D
|
| 8:06:55 PM | TheFu | I get 23/2.5 - for over $114/month.
|
| 8:07:44 PM | Solbu | I like to have things locally. I even ahve a complete package mirror of the distro version I run.
|
| 8:07:59 PM | ABQTKY | TheFu A friend had to get two bonded DSL channels - and he still has a lot less bandwidth than you do.
|
| 8:09:01 PM | SweSG | https://www.speedtest.net/result/9034121316
|
| 8:09:42 PM | TheFu | I can get 300Mbps symmetric for less than $50/month, but it requires tradeoffs, like data caps which a 4K resolution would eat through in a few weeks.
|
| 8:10:58 PM | MaineGeek75 | I think @SashaR might need to go home and go to bed 😛 She's got me yawning now lol
|
| 8:12:04 PM | Solbu | I love this story. I watched the video clip. Awesome hack. :-)
|
| 8:12:18 PM | SweSG | 439 Swedish kronor a month for it. 45,49 USD.
|
| 8:13:04 PM | MaineGeek75 | my internet is with Spectrum and I have 400Mbps/20Mbps. Wish they would remove the upload bottleneck. wouldn't bee that horrible. although, their standard is 100/10 or 15. in reality i get maybe 480/25
|
| 8:13:18 PM | ABQTKY | SweSG
|
| 8:13:37 PM | SweSG | Hehe
|
| 8:14:32 PM | MaineGeek75 | https://www.speedtest.net/result/9034132083.png
|
| 8:14:49 PM | MaineGeek75 | my wife and i are both watching live streaming shows
|
| 8:15:41 PM | MaineGeek75 | I use Waze for everything. lol. love the fact that it tells me the posted speed limit and also other info about cars on shoulder, police and other hazards.
|
| 8:15:52 PM | ABQTKY | Maybe Elon You-Know-who will have something interesting later this year...maybe.
|
| 8:19:04 PM | TheFu | ST:V
|
| 8:19:07 PM | MaineGeek75 | voyager maybe?
|
| 8:19:19 PM | Solbu | Voyager.
|
| 8:20:26 PM | TheFu | I time shift streaming video to avoid stuttering.
|
| 8:21:12 PM | Solbu | Except display cards, which keeps getting bigger.
|
| 8:21:59 PM | TheFu | Don't CPUs embed iGPUs these days? Most of my systems just use that iGPU. More than needed.
|
| 8:22:54 PM | Solbu | I prefer Intel graphics myself. hten I know I have Free Software drivers.
|
| 8:25:01 PM | SweSG | Solbu: Tested Clear Linux OS?
|
| 8:25:49 PM | SweSG | https://clearlinux.org/
|
| 8:26:09 PM | SweSG | Something from Intel.
|
| 8:26:15 PM | ABQTKY | TheFu Robbie's new 'server' has a GPU with 24GB of video memory. True, his Intel i9 CPU doesn't have an iGPU at all. I'd rather have an SSD than some outrageous GPU, but that's just me.
|
| 8:26:51 PM | TheFu | My PSU couldn't handle that GPU!
|
| 8:27:36 PM | ABQTKY | TheFU The power company must love him!
|
| 8:27:54 PM | SashaR | Good night chatroom buddies 🙂
|
| 8:28:04 PM | TheFu | I've been down Watt'ng all my systems the last 8 yrs. 125W CPUs are now 65W, if they aren't completely retired.
|
| 8:28:09 PM | SweSG | Gn!
|
| 8:28:11 PM | MaineGeek75 | good night 🙂
|
| 8:28:13 PM | noeman5 | We love you anyway @SashaR
|
| 8:28:48 PM | MaineGeek75 | great show 🙂
|
| 8:28:50 PM | TheFu | Sasha makes us smile. NG.
|
| 8:29:57 PM | MaineGeek75 | good night everyone, was great chatting with you all 🙂
|
| 8:30:10 PM | Solbu | SweSG: I don't test distros. I use Mageia for everything, and Debian on external servers.
|
| 8:31:11 PM | noeman5 | I'm always open to try a new distro. I have loads of spare hard drives that I can toss a distro onto to play with it for a while.
|
| 8:31:18 PM | SweSG | I started some music. Really loud! Cat5.tv was a bit low before.
|
| 8:31:24 PM | Solbu | RobbieF: The sound was good. Even without the compressors, it was good sound.
|
| 8:31:33 PM | noeman5 | yep
|
| 8:32:03 PM | SweSG | Solbu: Okay!
|
| 8:33:47 PM | SweSG | Time to sleep! It is soon morning here.
|
| 8:34:03 PM | noeman5 | Well, goodnight everyone. Dinnertime! Homemade taco night. Yum!
|
| 8:35:36 PM | Solbu | Time to say goodbye: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbWa6NYrpvk
|
| 8:44:53 PM | TheFu | Solbu, that connected to a Norwegian version of Cops video. If I'm gonna get arrested, I'd want it to happen there!
|
| 8:45:21 PM | TheFu | The video is NSFW, sadly.
|
| 8:47:32 PM | Solbu | THis is the same song, with no video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PInnL2kCHRs
|
