How do you rule
  • I don't get to refuse anything. I'm just complying with an order, or my state is saying, on record, they refuse to comply. All I can do is say the facts. Facts don't care about your feelings.

  • How do you rule
  • ah shit. Bad wording. I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to come off that way, just upset and didn't mean to minimize. I can't do much, but I can be a pain in the ass at the DMV tomorrow and force a case. Not much blowback on someone like me.

  • How do you rule
  • Fuck you I'm a woman owned business now and also my DMV can't issue liscences designated male without proof of.... exogenesis? Parthogenisis? Some kind of nobel winning genesis?

  • How do you rule
  • I recommend everyone visit the DMV as soon as possible to change their license. It's an order from the commander in chief.

    Now that I think of it: every DMV should be only be able to issue licenses with a female designation. Facts and law suites don't care about your feelings, snow flakes.

  • What's your most non-mundane possession?
  • I have some computer memory I'm still learning the the right terms to describe. It's a criss-cross of wires with spinning ferro magnetic beads. I also know it's not only volatile (the information gone on power down) but destructive (information gone on read). It's about the foot print of an index card, with a ton of connections on every side, maybe 1.5-2cm thick.

    Neat little bit of how it used to be.

  • Speaking from personal experience, you might be surprised at just how far up the economic ladder medicare goes. Not billionaires, but certainly millionaires. Why spend money on dumb doctors when YOUR'RE obviously healthy as an ox. YOU'RE never going to get sick. YOU are a demi-god in their prime. It's like when people complain about COBRA being it expensive. It was always that expensive, you're just paying it now. There are a lot of people with multiple homes financial advisors' include medicare as part of that planning.

  • I tried to get a photo in front of the gate with a donught. Apparently it's just not a very popular pastry in Germany, or at least it wasn't at the time (not suprised given what I ate there... Don't know why you'd settle). IIRC even the dunkins nearby didn't have one.

  • What are your thoughts on people who didn't vote?
  • I'm done with this, but no, there was not. I respect and acknowledge anyone choosing a protest, I really do. I'm a registered libertarian for gods sakes. There we two choices, one was going to win, the other wasn't. If the reason someone allowed people to die was because less people would die in the future so be it, when it came down to it, that was the only choice on the table. Would have loved if it was different, but it wasn't. You don't get to avoid the splatter.

  • question on how multiple simultaneous IPTV users works

    I'm considering spinning up a xteve instance to add IPTV to my server, and have some VERY high level questions. While I may purchase a subscription, my main goal is to implement a workaround I've seen where I can get RSTP fed into xteve and made accesible via the plex app.

    I'm looking to do that RSTP work around for two reasons:

    1. It would be fun to add access to some camera feeds (fish, bird feeders, etc) for some people who use my plex.
    2. I occasionally put up broadcasts via owncast. Half the people that would like to see those broadcasts are capable of using plex, but stumble around with VLC (and them being able to use plex is a minor miracle in the first place).

    So I'm confused about how a few scenarios would be handled:

    1. Owncast broadcasting a channel on plex via xteve, with ZERO other available channels. How are multiple simultaneous viewers handled (as in, whats the experience like on their end)?
    2. Owncast broadcast as a channel on plex via xteve WITH additional channels available through an IPTV provider. If one user puts on the owncast broadcast, and the other puts on some other channel, does it switch for both of them? Boot one out?

    Thanks for any input. I'm not really at the point of trying to technically implement, just looking to generally understand how all this funnels.

    Has anyone collected a torrent of banned/challenged books in the US?

    Pretty much the title. I'd like to add it to the archives.

    Foot peg question?

    Just a preference thing I guess, but I'm curious where people fall. On my gen1 KLR I had stock foot pegs, and I liked them because they were narrower, and sort of "locked in" to the arch on my boot when I was standing.

    My Gen2 KLR and now my KTM both have wider pegs, I know thats better for tarmac, and they seem to have plenty of bite, but I never quite got used to it.

    Anyone else feel similar? Just looking for some input before I "downgrade"

    Any KTM 1190 riders here?

    Hi All,

    I'm getting a great bike in the worst way. The guy that got me into all this at like 10 years old passed on, and as no one in his family rides, the family wants me to keep the miles rolling.

    I'm thrilled, and while I was a little intimidated by the size, it's only 20lbs heavier than my KLR, and the height is no issue as I'm a tall rider; I can flat foot just fine. Took it around the block and it was... transcendental. I had no idea that much power could be that nimble.

    My question is what are some big maintenance items I should prioritize? I'm coming from the unkillable pig of a KLR. this is going to be a bit of an adjustment. Also, the bike was very well maintained but his health was bad for about a year. The ride I took around the block was great, but the front suspension seemed a little bumpy for pavement. It's got mixed use tires on it so it's possible it was just the tread on pavement, just being a little paranoid.

    I also smelled some burning plastic when I fired it up, but am willing to bet it might have been some kind of weird dust in the exhaust; there was nothing dangling anywhere hot and it did go away.

    So yeah, just looking for some general tips and icebergs to avoid. I do most of my own maintience but again that's on gen I and gen II KLRs

    Simple average color library for video? (edit: closed, problem wasn't the problem)

    Hi All,

    I'm screening a large media library (20TB) wherein some files got corrupted when I did a transfer via filezilla (by my guess ~10%). The corrupted files display with a green "filter" over every frame (when played via plex and a number of local video players playing the file directly).

    I'd like to screen the library, and want to write a script to get an average color reading.

    Are there any libraries that would let me return a value AND specify how many frames I want it to take the average of? Because of how consistent and defined the issue is, it's really not necessary to average the whole file.

    It would also be great if it automatically skipped non-video files, but I imagine a simple "try/except" would be fine.

    My skill level here is best described as "high level hobbyist". I'm familiar with what I need to do iterating over the folder etc, but would prefer not to learn how to pull specific frames from a video container unless I have to.

    Thanks for any help!

    How to screen a 20TB library for corrupted files?

    Hi All,

    About a year ago I transferred all my files to a new drive. I used filzezilla which did mostly ok-ish, but I didn't notice that some of the video files were corrupted. Random files will have a green tinge to them (like someone put a green filter over the lens).

    It seems random, although if it's a series it's usually the whole series.

    I've been replacing them as they come up, but I was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas to expedite the process.

    Thanks for any help!

    Programmable bluetooth button? Any recs?

    I have the chubby button v1.0 for my music and love it. Only thing is I'd love something to cue my phones voice command like in my car. The chubby button 2.0 does that (by letting you program a function), but 1.0 doesn't and it's still a perfectly bomb proof bit of hardware.

    Does anyone have any recs on a real simple, weather proof, button I could ideally wrap onto my crossbar?

    Advice on wintering capers and/or olives indoors? More in comments

    Hi All,

    First year with olives and capers. I live in a region where they're barley happy in the summer and definitely wouldn't survive the winter outdoors.

    I knew that getting into it, and have space set aside for them. I also have grow lights that probably do better than what they got during the summer. So my question is, what kind of environment do I give them so they think it's winter?

    Like I said, if I crank the grow lights I wouldn't be surprised if they flowered over winter, and I don't want them losing track of the seasons (unless they don't really care).

    Any tips?

    Random skipping on direct stream? Temp fix.

    I was wondering if anyone bumped into this. I noticed random jumps (1-3seconds) in playback when playing original quality. Definitely not buffering or performance lag, just an actual playback error. Jump was at the same spot anytime I loaded the media and regardless of what time I loaded it to.

    Which is curious because on playing the file with a different media player on the box it was on, zero issue what so ever.

    Disabling direct stream option (under debug) resolved it, and there doesn't seem to be much of a performance hit, I'm just curious what's going on here.

    Noob stumbling along. Just looking for some guidance on adding a module to initramfs.

    Running Bookworm, Plasma DE if that's relevant.

    Background: I'm learning here. Decent amount of coding and embedded hardware experience but I'm usually missing one or two key concepts with this stuff.

    Getting a box running, and wrestling with NVIDIA drivers. I successfully installed the driver (I think), but now lightdm isn't working. From what I read it appears there's a common issue around a race condition where lightdm tries to fire up before the drivers ready, so I need to add the nvidia driver to initramfs.

    Can anyone give me some pointers? Specifically while I get the above:

    1. I'm not sure what modules need to be added and if they're named something specific for debian vs other distros
    2. The correct file to modify
    3. The correct format/syntax that needs to be added

    I've found lots of examples, just none specific to debian, and screwing around at this level I don't want to bork something enough I need to do a bare install.

    Thanks for any help!

    Not sure where to start. Playback from webclient is great but HTPC program is performs terribly. Same machine, local media.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction here? I have a pretty beefy PC I use as a server and HTPC. 24 2.5ghz cores, 64gb ram, kind of a crappy video card, debian 11. I just migrated all my stuff over and stress tested it supporting 8 different transcribed streams simultaneously (mix of in/out of local). That worked great.

    BUT, the video playback is choppy (as in frame skipping) and out of sync when I'm running the HTPC program. Oddly using the web client on the same machine avoids that issue.

    Any thoughts? I'm wondering if it might be that it's an older TV it's plugged into and there's some issue there. Thing is, like I said, the webclient its worlds better. Webclient seems to have some issues but I'm pretty sure that's just due to the TV.

    Any pointers are helpful! I'm OK at this stuff but very much learning.

    Blanking on a term. I remember a protocol/firmware for wireless routers where the idea was to connect as many as possible to create a quasi internet without any ISPs. Help?

    Basically title. I remember reading about it back in like 2018, I even remember a company that would provide crypto based on the amount of traffic you let through. Just curious if that ever saw any growth.

    Everything I google keeps bringing up things on the darkweb. The goal of this was explicitly to go "ISP-less". Like they envisioned mesh net covering giant swathes of space.

    Want to be a mod?

    Hi All,

    I mostly grabbed this as a place-holder because this is a community I'll miss from reddit. I'll post some of my bog gardens after I can give them a proper hair cut.

    If anyone wants to take on any mod responsibilities now or in the future just reach out. I imagine it'll be a while before there's anything really involved though.

    Glad to see there's already some posts :)
