@bwDraco we know. You've mentioned this a half dozen times.

...so. Let's start backing up today's photos.

Nick

:I i wonder how much I have to backup from my phone today.

Journeyman Geek

Hah

.... I transferred about 700 Meg's from my phone to my home Linux box over sshfd yesterday ...

Canadian Luke

@JourneymanGeek Why not setup a Freedombox or NextCloud instance, and have pictures automatically backup to your box?

Journeyman Geek

Not pictures ; was a one off thing

And for some reason my laptop dosen't seem to work well on the wifi here

Canadian Luke

That sucks. Where are you?

I like this. It's the sort of thing I wish I'd come up with

...welp. Some odd driver instability since updating to the NVIDIA 417.xx drivers. Assassin's Creed Odyssey may crash in a reproducible manner (at the same location in the game world), but the problem clears up after restarting. It's consistent enough that hardware instability is unlikely to be the cause, and it only began after that update. (@Bob @allquixotic @JourneymanGeek)

I kinda remember others here have had similar issues with recent versions of the NVIDIA graphics driver.

Journeyman Geek

Try checking the game files

bwDraco

It clears up after restarting the computer.

This really seems like a driver issue.

So something is messing up the system or graphics memory. It just doesn't feel like hardware because instability isn't typically that consistently reproducible.

(as in, five out of five times at the exact same location in the game world, and working properly after a reboot)

@rahuldottech "improve your conversion rate" /me shudders

I detest marketing-speak.

rahuldottech

@Bob I literally don't even know what that means

I just like the concept

Bob

@rahuldottech What, the early-2000s "HTTP accelerator" thing?

It quite literally got old about a decade ago

rahuldottech

@Bob I read a couple comments about that on HN, but I wasn't old enough to use the internet ;p

So yeah. It's not something I've seen before.

Bob

You're probably better off just setting up a CDN (*cough* cloudflare *cough*) so you're more local to the client.

rahuldottech

@Bob I was actually wondering about that. Should I try out the free Cloudflare plan?

Bob

7:42 AM

@rahuldottech Sure. I tried it a bit ago and wasn't happy cause it needed control over the whole domain, not a subdomain.

But I don't run any services where latency really matters.

rahuldottech

@Bob I don't use subdomains ;p

But ok, I'll try it out

Bob

:|

rahuldottech

@Bob I just... get a new domain

Jan 4 at 16:05, by rahuldottech

@Nick haha. I also have .fun, .bid, .win, .xyz, and a few others

Oct 5 '18 at 15:41, by rahuldottech

In same order, purpose: portfolio, website, experiment, file sharing, old website, email domains (r@hul.tld), the rest are for web apps which are in development

Oct 5 '18 at 15:40, by rahuldottech

Let's see... rahul.red, rahul.tech, rahul.webcam, rahul.party, rahul2001.com, hul.fun, hul.space, h4cker.pw, h4cker.us, chattr.win, chattr.icu, ordoi.icu, rad.blue, and a couple others?

I don't know why I enjoy getting domains

But I really do

Bob

Erm...

I like to keep my domains for the long run, so I don't bother looking at registration discounts :P

Journeyman Geek

I have...3 ;p

Speaking of answers to old questions which answer the question but look self promotional

A: Incremental Backups of ntfsclone Images

A while ago, I wrote a program which creates efficient deltas between ntfsclone images. https://github.com/koljanowak/ntfscloneimgdelta It was particularly easy because the file format of the ntfsclone images is pretty straight forward. They are in essence just a series of bytes saying either ...

Bob

@bertieb I think that's better if only because it explains the hows. Also, SU not SO :P

bertieb

Yeah, I don't have huge issue with it, though these things can feel a bit "this result was top of a Google search for 'how do do X', so I created an account to post my program here"

But that's probably partly me projecting my own insecurities about self promotion :-P

Bob

@bertieb Yea, that's why I generally think posting personal projects as answers to (old) questions is a bit eh

But of course sometimes it's organic, just hard to tell

djsmiley2k

my god

trying to figure out how the current cctv works is such a pita i'm almost concidering just deploying a new system myself

bertieb

Ya

djsmiley2k

11:18 AM

i must have a power injector, or power connected somewhere i can't see

or it's using poe and the moment i try and plug it into a laptop it won't work anyway ;D

even if it does work, i apently need the username and password from 'somewhere' to be able to access the camera

Journeyman Geek

11:33 AM

Look up the model and use the default? ;P

bertieb

Yea

djsmiley2k

1:44 PM

@JourneymanGeek of the camera?

that'll be kinda hard... it's mounted in the roof

~5.7m up

I looked in the loft, can't even see where it's installed from that side either, I can see the cabling, but insulation in the way

Journeyman Geek

Yup. Typically they don't change it

djsmiley2k

yeah

I used (guessed) or something, the password to the DVR in the first place

however, since then, I tried to setup the software again and it didn't work, causing me to think that's since gone wrong/weird too

so I'm like meh scrap it all?

Wireless cams + battery packs?

some other option? D:

DavidPostill

@djsmiley2k So remove (temporarily) the insulation? It's not normally too difficult ...

Nick

@JourneymanGeek That sounds cool. I just wish my phone would auto save to a local home server every time I come back home, because more likely than not, I'd have been taking nature videos or vlogging that entire day and the few gigs in my phone would be completely full.

@Bob well, that's because you haven't had enough leads for traffic to move into your funnels. Once you do though, the caviar just rolls right in with the champagne.

Journeyman Geek

2:01 PM

@djsmiley2k the DVR is possibly an x86 box

DavidPostill

@Nick At least champagne production does not require "stunning the fish and extracting the ovaries" or "performing a caesarean section, which allows the female to continue producing roe"...

Bob

@djsmiley2k I use Arlo. Wireless, battery life is decent (as long as they don't trigger too often).

Nick

2:16 PM

@DavidPostill I mean, all the effort is the only reason that stuff has any flavour of taste. Otherwise, who'd eat something that looks, smells and tastes the way it does.

Journeyman Geek

@Nick actually. It's fish eggs. And salt

The value is in what people attribute to it.

@Nick people will eat anything with the right story.... Or if it's battered and fried

Even newspaper

Nick

Journeyman Geek

Actually..

Ongoing issue according to Wikipedia: The President of Venezuela

2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis

A crisis concerning who is the legitimate President of Venezuela has been underway since 10 January 2019, when the opposition-majority National Assembly declared that incumbent Nicolás Maduro's 2018 reelection was invalid and the body declared its president, Juan Guaidó, to be acting president of the nation. The process and results of the May 2018 Venezuelan presidential election were widely disputed. The National Assembly declared Maduro illegitimate on the day of his second inauguration, citing the 1999 Constitution of Venezuela enacted under Hugo Chávez, Maduro's predecessor; in response, the...

@DavidPostill do you drink milk?

@djsmiley2k Yes. Why do you ask?

Journeyman Geek

3:19 PM

@DavidPostill the deep fried newspaper is a semi urban myth my mom used to tell me

rahuldottech

@DavidPostill just making sure you keep healthy :)

Nick

@JourneymanGeek I need a venture capitalist right now, that guy from the Early Edition and Game Night, he's going to be the brand ambassador. This is genius.

Journeyman Geek

Kindly try to make sense. ._.

Q: Why does music synthesizer built from chain of astable multivibrator circuits get "out-of-tune" after a few hours?

I built a prototype keyboard/sound synthesizer using a chain of 13 astable multivibrator circuits whose outputs are connected to an audio amplifier chip (LM386) and speaker, all powered off a 9V DC battery. Each individual circuit gets tuned to one of the 13 frequencies in a musical octave (C5, ...
