6:58:50 PMSolbu A lockdown is in effect at midnight in their region, which seems to complicate things.
7:00:04 PMRobbieF We'll be good for tonight. Jeff's just getting ready in the studio and I'm on The Bridge. In 10 minutes or so I'll join him in the studio and get ready for the show.
7:01:50 PMSolbu :-)
7:02:17 PMTheFu We've been in self-imposed "lock down" since last March. Only 5 trips to the grocery store since then. We've had over 41K confirmed COVID cases in my county - only about 800K people.
7:03:22 PMnoeman5 Hi All!
7:03:46 PMnoeman5 Fu, where are you? Finland?
7:03:51 PMTheFu USA - GA.
7:03:57 PMTheFu Ya'll.
7:04:14 PMnoeman5 Ah, misread county as country.
7:04:16 PMGuest_7544 Is the show invisible again
7:04:23 PMTheFu Er ... new topic ... Linux?
7:04:40 PMnoeman5 I
7:04:58 PMMI0RTX the only time i left house is goto hosptial for value change or to dentist to remove a tooth
7:05:31 PMnoeman5 I'm looking at putting together a Pi powered NAS running 4 SSD's as Raid 5. Will that be too much for that board to handle.
7:05:34 PMnoeman5 ?
7:05:55 PMMI0RTX solbu did see northern light last night ????
7:06:35 PMJeffW Evening all
7:06:52 PMnoeman5 Howdy @JeffW
7:06:54 PMSolbu @MI0RTX: It is -15 C here, so no. I'm not outside unless I _have to_ :-)
7:07:30 PMTheFu Brrr.
7:08:28 PMJeffW Tonight is going to be an exciting show
7:08:39 PMMI0RTX ther was no visual northern light but there was open on 10 meter i herd lot beacons with a flutter when beam north
7:09:23 PMTheFu noeman5 - I'd think that was a little much. Avoid USB storage in RAID.
7:09:43 PMnoeman5 Thanks Fu.
7:09:47 PMGuest_7544 Is the show invisible again, green flag say live, but not on even youtube is showing live stream
7:09:59 PMJeffW @RobbieF and I digitize ourselves and simulate life and death situations while attempting to tax a raspberry pi to its limits
7:10:25 PMJeffW We are running g a few minutes behind schedule Guest.
7:10:53 PMnoeman5 @JeffW maybe an XU4?
7:11:09 PMGuest_7544 thank you jeffw
7:11:28 PMnoeman5 Trying to make it as small a package as possible, don't want to go up to Micro ITX or ATX
7:11:30 PMTheFu Anyone here DΓΈds for fun?
7:12:00 PMSolbu @JeffW: That is not what he asked., :-) The website says you're on the air, even if there is no stream anywhere.
7:13:27 PMTheFu noeman5 - you CAN do lots of things that aren't necessarily a good idea. Research usb RAID issues.
7:15:23 PMJeffW Up now...supposedly
7:15:26 PMnoeman5 I saw one article on the Pi website about making a RAID1 NAS with USB External drives, was wondering if scaling up to RAID5 would be too taxing. I'll keep looking.
7:15:55 PMSadSack963 YAY! I've at least got video. Can't see you guys yet.
7:16:28 PMJeffW We are like pokaroo...you just missed us
7:16:34 PMnoeman5 Haven't gotten the bell from YouTube yet.
7:16:58 PMnoeman5 I'll check Roku
7:17:09 PMSadSack963 @JeffW Damn! πŸ™‚ Live stream offline at the moment
7:17:19 PMSolbu Kodi is not working either.
7:17:24 PMMarshMan @noeman5 you can get a Nano Pi M4 and a 4X SATA Hat for it. https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=254
7:17:46 PMJeffW Looks good here
7:17:56 PMJeffW Atleast I look good here

7:21:44 PMSolbu At least that iw shat the cat5 live page says.
7:21:52 PMSadSack963 Thanks. That says Live stream offline too. Have you actually started then?
7:22:01 PMRobbieF refresh please
7:22:07 PMRobbieF you're cached from before YouTube went live
7:22:22 PMRobbieF Looks to me like only YouTube is up tonight, sorry folks.

7:23:04 PMSolbu Live stream URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgw3P4SzgHA
7:23:26 PMRobbieF The correct live stream URL is https://live.cat5.tv
7:23:37 PMSadSack963 Thanks @Solbu

7:25:46 PMRobbieF https://live.cat5.tv
7:26:17 PMnoeman5 My PineBook Pro is happy to see you all.
7:26:21 PMSadSack963 Yay. Jeff is in shot. I'm happy now
7:26:28 PMMarshMan There are 4 seasons in Barrie... early winter, winter, late winter and next winter. @ABQTKY
7:26:49 PMJeffW JEFF IS in shot or Jeff GOT shot? No painball tonight
7:26:55 PMnoeman5 Just got the YouTube bell.
7:27:12 PMnoeman5 Now we're getting audio feedback.
7:27:19 PMSolbu Jeff's or Robbies phone is interfering.
7:27:22 PMABQTKY MarshMan I knew that, I just didn't know what all of 'em were called.
7:27:27 PMTheFu gsm interference...
7:27:39 PMSadSack963 There's a video fault on Robbie's face.
7:28:31 PMSadSack963 It's fixed πŸ™‚
7:28:41 PMMI0RTX how do get show on utube
7:28:51 PMSadSack963 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgw3P4SzgHA
7:29:03 PMnoeman5 Back to the webcam in your basement @RobbieF
7:30:25 PMnoeman5 Jeff the Ginger Sasquatch!
7:30:29 PMTheFu Becca is good news for all of us. Nice people attract nice people.
7:30:34 PMSadSack963 I cracked up there
7:31:16 PMTheFu zoom recorded shows?
7:31:34 PMSadSack963 Good idea
7:33:00 PMTheFu noeman5, looked at some performance articles for that sata hat. 65 MB/s n rad5
7:33:28 PMTheFu Not really ssd performance.
7:34:23 PMnoeman5 Not bad Fu, as long as it's fairly reliable. I'm just looking for something to store all of my photos on. I've gotten heavily into photography and am filling up storage quickly.
7:35:03 PMMI0RTX hi robbie
7:35:11 PMRobbieF Hiya!
7:35:32 PMameriDroid Hello all.
7:35:44 PMMI0RTX noe store are open jeff here
7:36:50 PMnoeman5 I've bought a number of things from B&H. Excellent quality, fast shipping. Remember to use the link from the Cat5 site so they kick a few pennies @RobbieF 's way.
7:37:08 PMSadSack963 @noeman5 I can recommend Synology NAS, maybe 4 bay with a few 4TB drives. Mine has been running faithfully for about 10 years now. Make sure you get reliable drives designed for NAS!
7:37:18 PMameriDroid B&H is our supplier for some things (not at ameriDroid, but at our parent company).
7:37:26 PMSolbu :-)
7:38:43 PMMarshMan B&H has a very busy store in NYC.
7:38:58 PMMarshMan Mayhem during real world conditions
7:39:34 PMnoeman5 I didn't realize how big they were before getting into photography. I thought they were maybe a Mom & Pop shop or something local in Barrie. Boy was I wrong!
7:41:29 PMTheFu The LVM + rdiff-backp eps are still valid
7:42:28 PMTheFu Java likes RAM.
7:44:55 PMameriDroid We have the RPi 4 8GB in stock.
7:45:54 PMameriDroid @RobbieF Have you tried the N2+? It's pretty awesome.
7:47:02 PMMarshMan I do like the N2+ @ameriDroid
7:47:36 PMTheFu The r-pi has a more vibrant community, so more software.
7:47:43 PMMarshMan The H2+ is my daily PC
7:48:12 PMameriDroid I use the H2+ as my secondary system on my desk. I do all my email and most of my browsing on Linux Mint 20 on an H2+.
7:48:36 PMMarshMan Same here
7:48:47 PMbp9 G'day
7:48:48 PMMarshMan Plus a few VMs
7:49:48 PMMarshMan You talk too much @RobbieF ... correct?
7:49:59 PMnoeman5 https://tenor.com/view/troll-troll-doll-doll-hair-troll-hair-gif-5351489
7:51:36 PMMarshMan Wow
7:51:54 PMMarshMan Sparkly belly buttons...
7:52:48 PMbp9 Oh man @RobbieF you put @JeffW on the spot LOL
7:53:14 PMMarshMan I see a lot of people asking you to be their boyfriend @RobbieF
7:58:47 PMbp9 @JeffW I would always default to a local server vs. the cloud (i.e. someone else's computer)
7:59:47 PMJeffW Yeah me too. But I didn't have the hardware
8:00:12 PMnoeman5 I've seen a number of postings on FB and T-shirts that say "There is no cloud, just someone else's computer."
8:00:24 PMJeffW Haha thats awesome!
8:00:40 PMJeffW I want that shirt
8:00:42 PMSolbu Isn't that opening shot of BekahF a little too close?
8:01:02 PMnoeman5 What size @JeffW ?
8:01:27 PMJeffW Sasquatch size πŸ˜†
8:01:46 PMnoeman5 πŸ˜ƒ
8:02:05 PMTheFu Dig!
8:02:13 PMTheFu ding!
8:03:02 PMJeffW I'm normally xl, but depends on fit. Whats the link?
8:03:05 PMTheFu Best use of green screen!
8:03:24 PMSolbu https://www.amazon.com/There-Cloud-Someone-Computer-T-Shirt/dp/B07NSMHS77
8:04:32 PMSadSack963 Yet another reason to go Linux
8:04:59 PMMarshMan Hah! Since the latest iOS update, I cannot get to amazon.com on my iPad.
8:05:13 PMnoeman5 I've had Windows updates completely crash my system before. Totally screwed it up and I had to format and re-install.
8:05:14 PMMarshMan On any browser
8:06:09 PMSolbu MarshMan: There is no secure website except apple's sites… ;-)
8:07:54 PMMarshMan It’s just amazon so far
8:07:57 PMSadSack963 @MarshMan This is old, but it might help? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7447641
8:09:20 PMSadSack963 Might be worth setting your DNS to 1.1.1.1
8:10:06 PMTheFu Japan 3 prefectures are in emergency mode now, whatever that means. Trains and subways there are still packed.
8:12:04 PMnoeman5 Here you go @JeffW , it's available on Amazon, no surprise there. https://www.amazon.com/There-No-Clud-Geek-T-Shirt/dp/B07KWNRYVD.
8:14:58 PMMarshMan Bugged by bugs
8:15:05 PMTheFu Solbu, do u know this issue?
8:15:44 PMSolbu What issue?
8:16:12 PMTheFu exactly. They've talking win10
8:16:59 PMnoeman5 It's not a bug, it's an unfinished feature!
8:17:43 PMTheFu enterprises don't use MSFT forced upgrades.
8:17:48 PMMarshMan https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/799084819778764830/image0.jpg
8:18:43 PMMarshMan My company fully test Win 10 updates before pushing them out
8:19:05 PMRobbieF https://c.tenor.com/gu8TNUqchl0AAAAM/fuller-house-thats-c-how-you-do-it.gif
8:21:05 PMRobbieF Give @Dr RobertK a πŸ‘ https://youtu.be/ROBZVxDWj2U
8:21:33 PMbp9 OK πŸ‘
8:21:45 PMbp9 Does that work? LOL
8:21:58 PMbp9 OH... you meant on youtube LOL
8:22:11 PMRobbieF Yes, go be vibrant!
8:23:14 PMMarshMan https://tenor.com/view/troll-trolls-troll-train-travel-windy-gif-15460750
8:24:14 PMMI0RTX robbie microsoft windows turn off my server evey time it shut down it turns off smb 1.0 /cf this very anoring
8:26:32 PMSolbu What do you need smb1 for?
8:26:53 PMnoeman5 I have Win7, Win10 and Mint Linux on 3 separate drives and choose which one to boot via the BIOS menu. Every time I boot Win10 it "fixes" Win7 and the next time I boot into Win7 I have to endure the "one of your drives needs to be scanned for errors" step and it scans both drives for errors and fixes itself again.
8:27:54 PMSadSack963 Triple boot!
8:28:00 PMRobbieF I feel your pain @noeman5
8:28:26 PMMI0RTX so can talk to linux server it part windos
8:28:41 PMMarshMan I gave up on multi-booting years ago.
8:28:54 PMRobbieF I use grub to multi boot
8:28:59 PMSadSack963 Me too. Prefer VirtualBox
8:29:00 PMMarshMan VMs have gotten too easy
8:29:10 PMnoeman5 @SadSack963 I can do that via grub when I choose to boot Linux, but otherwise use the BIOS menu to save time.
8:30:07 PMSadSack963 Of course, it helps that I've got 64BG RAM in my laptop πŸ™‚
8:30:53 PMMarshMan Spun up a RHEL 8 machine and use Boxes for VMs. Real easy to create.
8:32:10 PMnoeman5 I use Proton VPN sometimes and the built-in VPN in Opera browser sometimes.
8:33:09 PMTheFu I look forward to Mozilla defending their vpn in court, and winning.
8:38:12 PMSweSG Hi, I'm late for Cat5.tv. Come in on Mozilla's VPN. A VPN from Sweden! Mullvad.
8:40:44 PMTheFu focus lost!
8:42:52 PMbp9 That was a fun show @RobbieF and @JeffW
8:43:25 PMbp9 Heck yeah!
8:43:42 PMTheFu a little sed.
8:43:56 PMSadSack963 @TheFu Can you explain why you have BOT after your username?
8:43:57 PMSadSack963 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/799091395847127101/unknown.png
8:44:28 PMMarshMan Using IRC
8:44:38 PMMarshMan Not actually on Discord
8:44:51 PMSadSack963 Oh, I see. Thanks.
8:45:00 PMSolbu The grunting is Jeff's guard dog? :-)
8:45:36 PMMarshMan @RobbieF created a bot so they interact
8:46:04 PMTheFu why do you have discord_bridge next to yours?
8:46:12 PMSolbu Hehehe.
8:46:30 PMSadSack963 Who me? No idea
8:46:45 PMMarshMan https://tenor.com/view/burn-so-long-stink-town-simpsons-homer-simpson-burning-bridges-gif-5640116
8:46:54 PMSolbu The Discord__Bridge is the most active user on our IRC-channel. ;-)
8:47:18 PMTheFu What's worse is that your name isn't where names belong.
8:47:37 PMSweSG @bp9 what is his name who has problems with keyboard on RPi? I have several of them here:
8:47:40 PMSweSG https://i.imgur.com/DKVVufa.jpg
8:47:42 PMSadSack963 Out of my control!
8:47:51 PMSweSG Works on all RPi I tested. A cheap and good keyboard.
8:47:53 PMTheFu Solbu looks normal .... in IRC. ;)
8:47:58 PMSolbu :-)
8:48:56 PMbp9 SweSG It was @lanceman63 who was having issues with his keyboard on RasPi
8:49:14 PMMarshMan @SweSG I use that kb with my Dell tablet.
8:49:27 PMSweSG :)
8:49:56 PMMarshMan Nice compact kb
8:49:58 PMTheFu imagine how much fun they'd have with sim city?
8:51:09 PMbp9 @JeffW you backed up this world before letting everyone loose on it, didn't you? LOL
8:51:16 PMMarshMan Square clouds...
8:52:17 PMRobbieF We did, but then the kids wanted us to leave it and not revert
8:53:33 PMbp9 It's performing well so far -- no lagging from what I can see -- yet LOL
8:53:44 PMRobbieF Outstanding
8:54:16 PMbp9 @RobbieF I was talking about minecraft LOL
8:56:31 PMSweSG I came in a little late to live. Why do we play Minecraft?
8:56:45 PMMarshMan Cuz we can
8:56:51 PMSweSG :P
8:56:58 PMbp9 They are demoing a minecraft server on RaspberryPi
8:57:02 PMMarshMan On an RPi 4
8:57:12 PMSolbu These children in the minecraft video, are they Robbie and Jeff's kids?
8:57:24 PMRobbieF Yep
8:57:37 PMbp9 I think so but I only recognize a couple of them.
8:57:42 PMnoeman5 I think I'll sign off and get some dinner. Have a good night all! Take care @RobbieF and @JeffW .
8:57:57 PMRobbieF Enjoy. Night @noeman5
8:58:19 PMMarshMan Mortimer and MangleFox are @RobbieF kids
8:58:29 PMRobbieF And hinger
8:58:48 PMMarshMan Is this an 8G @RobbieF
8:58:53 PMRobbieF 4g
8:59:07 PMMarshMan Very cool
8:59:18 PMbp9 With all the action going on in the game it's amazing how well it's performing.
9:00:09 PMRobbieF Agreed @bp9
9:00:29 PMbp9 I bet the CPU is starting to warm up by now πŸ™‚
9:00:32 PMSadSack963 Right, I'm off to bed. Looking forward to the next show whenever.
9:00:46 PMRobbieF grip is at the bottom
9:01:29 PMbp9 Oh yeah... I wondered what grip was LOL
9:01:30 PMRobbieF All the best @SadSack963
9:01:34 PMMarshMan Auto corrected
9:01:39 PMMarshMan πŸ˜›
9:01:42 PMSadSack963 G'nite all
9:01:45 PMRobbieF Grip is auto correct
9:02:47 PMbp9 Does minecraft run natively on linux?
9:03:00 PMRobbieF Yes
9:03:15 PMMarshMan Almost makes me want to build one
9:03:16 PMbp9 Really?
9:03:19 PMSweSG I actually had a Minecraft server up a while ago. On an RPi. Worked reasonably well.
9:03:27 PMRobbieF X64 @bp9
9:03:41 PMbp9 I meant the minecraft client.
9:03:49 PMRobbieF Yep
9:03:58 PMRobbieF Linux x64
9:04:29 PMbp9 nice! It used to cost some $$ to get the client. Is that still true?
9:04:36 PMRobbieF Yes
9:04:46 PMRobbieF It was $35 cad
9:05:01 PMbp9 Oh so about USD$5.00 LOL
9:05:05 PMRobbieF More fun than I expected tbh
9:05:35 PMbp9 Interesting... compared to minetest?
9:06:11 PMRobbieF I hate to say but it's more engaging
9:06:26 PMbp9 You can say it. It is what it is. No worries.
9:08:06 PMbp9 I'm curious though -- what does minetest have that minecraft does not?
9:08:23 PMbp9 I mean, they look the same.
9:08:48 PMSolbu It has a Free license. :-)
9:09:41 PMbp9 Oh I got that round the wrong way... I was trying to figure out why @RobbieF says minecraft is more engaging that minetest.
9:10:21 PMRobbieF Minecraft seems to be more engaging
9:10:30 PMRobbieF It just "feels" fun
9:10:48 PMbp9 Got it... just trying to figure out the "secret sauce"
9:10:50 PMMI0RTX never play any game on a computor
9:11:00 PMRobbieF Minetest is good. The minetest dev community however are... "Vibrant".
9:11:35 PMRobbieF Minecraft is just a game without the shinanogans.
9:11:42 PMSweSG Is it overclocked? I had my RPi on the CPU at 2.1GHz and the GPU at 750MHz stable!
9:12:11 PMRobbieF This is 1.95 GHz on a Pi 4 with 4 GB RAM
9:12:27 PMRobbieF Yes, overclocked, conservatively.
9:12:36 PMSweSG And the GPU?
9:12:44 PMSolbu Heh, the swords look like repurposed chainsaw blades. :-)
9:14:26 PMameriDroid Nice gameplay demo.
9:14:37 PMameriDroid I'm late heading home for supper, so I'd better sign off. See you all later~!
9:14:47 PMRobbieF Let's sell some pi! 😍
9:14:54 PMMI0RTX good night all i go bed
9:14:58 PMRobbieF Night @ameriDroid
9:14:59 PMbp9 Have a good night @ameriDroid !
9:15:02 PMameriDroid I'm hoping to eat some Pi(e).
9:15:03 PMameriDroid πŸ™‚
9:15:07 PMameriDroid Good night!
9:17:29 PMbp9 So @RobbieF I guess this is the "default" game? No additional packages?
9:18:00 PMRobbieF "vanilla" as they say, yes.
9:19:01 PMbp9 There is certainly a lot more "bundled" in the vanilla game of minecraft vs. minetest.
9:19:09 PMRobbieF Yep.
9:19:15 PMRobbieF Instant fun.
9:19:22 PMbp9 nods
9:20:38 PMbp9 Can you protect your structures like you can in minetest?
9:21:09 PMRobbieF Yes, with a mod (which I added later)
9:21:46 PMSolbu The Walking Dead – Minecraft edition.
9:21:47 PMbp9 HOw are the kids blowing up their entire house?
9:22:06 PMMarshMan Guess I need a new Pi4
9:22:39 PMRobbieF Creepers @bp9
9:23:00 PMbp9 The Creepers are blowing themselves up?
9:23:22 PMMarshMan Man cave
9:23:23 PMRobbieF Correct
