@allquixotic I would have gone "why not a sata to fan connector" but... those are... oddly rare

12:43 AM

@JourneymanGeek I have plenty of SATA but I don't have any SATA to 4-pin FAN nor SATA to molex, and I need an additional fan Y cable and another molex to complete the build

Journeyman Geek

@allquixotic yup - I was looking for sata to fan and kinda failed hard ;p

1:02 AM

load on the GPU only increases the RAID controller's temp to 57 C... which is a good 45C cooler than before with the case sealed

it just needed a tiny bit of air blowing on the heatsink to keep it cool

and maybe some better overall case airflow

Bob

@allquixotic it's the difference between being surrounded by 80*C air and 40*C air :P

turns out you can't really cool a 90*C heatsink with 80*C air :P

@Bob I wonder how much of a difference it's made to my case ambient temperature to add one 120mm intake fan (that wasn't hooked up before), one 80mm exhaust fan (bought new - Noctua PWM fan with hydrodynamic bearings)

Looks like you've got your RAID card heat issue sorted out.

Noise levels?

allquixotic

@bwDraco yep - I don't even have the Vornado whole-room fan blowing in my case now :D

case is closed up, GPU is rendering and the heatsink is doing its job with a gentle breeze of a Noctua 80mm fan on it

Bob

@allquixotic the intake would help with pressure (volume), the exhaust with airflow (direction)

fans in pull configs (exhaust) don't usually help pressure much

allquixotic

it's funny, only certain fan noise frequencies bother me... the full RPM noise of the Noctuas is almost pleasing, because all I hear is a rush of air, I don't hear any whine or anything unpleasant like that (oddly, even the GPU impeller doesn't whine)

but my work laptop is a Haswell HP Probook with a single, fairly powerful impeller with a straight grill, and it whines like a damn hairdryer

and annoys me to no end because it's always whining away because either McAfee or Tanium or both are scanning 24/7

also the Probook doesn't even have a dGPU... it has an H-series CPU, a single 5400 RPM 2.5" HDD, 2 sticks of 4 GB DDR3, the motherboard, and the wifi card, as the only active components during operation... and it puts out air hot enough to make a pen explode

air hot enough to warm up frozen chewing gum (from my car in winter) to room temp in like 3 minutes

Does anyone know how to show a backtick in a comment for CRLF for example with Powershell "rn"

Where that should be backtick "r" and backtick "n"?

If I want to show an actual backtick character in a comment or non coded block on a question or answer perhaps I always have trouble with that and wondering what the proper solution may be if it exists.

I poked around Meta and found one post slightly related but not exact answer by David Postill here meta.superuser.com/questions/12054/… but not what I'm looking for exactly.

Ben N

@TroubleMakerChatBroom See superuser.com/revisions/c8ecbc8b-7523-4e7c-9a91-f8a91bca537c/… (from my answer here)

Basically, double up the outer backticks and add a leading space

Trouble Maker Chat Broom

@BenN Your are the man good sir!!

Ben N

:)

Trouble Maker Chat Broom

Actually @Ben you are the man still but it's not a Powershell question as I want to show a backtick character right here in a comment for example, how is this possible in a SU comment?

Ben N

Backslashes and/or extra backticks on the borders

Trouble Maker Chat Broom

3:35 AM

Let me test again maybe I did something incorrect

Ben N

Oh hm, it is a bit tricky

a ``foo` `bar`` b does that

you just can't have a space immediately inside the boundaries

Can anyone get backtick "r" backtick "n" to show in a comment here

Trouble Maker Chat Broom

`r`n

Ben N

But adding an extra wrap of backticks kills the code formatting

Bob

@BenN a ` b

a ``r`n b

no backslashes

Trouble Maker Chat Broom

Feel free to clean up my comments if you want and can, thanks again Ben I appreciate you and Bob both!!

FML Cat

@JourneymanGeek you seem to be right. Luckily I've never had to look for one.

I bought a pile or cheap 2-way and 4-way fan splitters a while back. Also have a standalone multi-fan cooling computer and four speed controlled fan ports built into my case

The latter is just a 12v/7v/5v switch run off a molex

Journeyman Geek

well I didn't actually want a fan splitter

FML Cat

@TroubleMakerChatBroom you're the broom, shouldn't you be doing the cleaning?

Journeyman Geek

3:46 AM

it was just an easy way to break out 12V into a barrel connector

FML Cat

@JourneymanGeek lol I've just used old molex connectors for that.

Journeyman Geek

@FMLCat which is vaguely what I did

guess what's the cheapest way to get a molex connector with wires attached?

FML Cat

Also have the opposite, 12v barrel connector to 3/4 pin fan, because I use PC fans for random applications around the house like circulating radiator heat, and power them off 12v lead acid batteries or generic 12v wall warts

@JourneymanGeek pull one out of my draw of old/broken/redundant internal power cables

When building 16+ HDD arrays off 10 year old 400W power supplies I has to Jerry rig something like 4-6x way molex splitters by cutting cables off even older power supplies... Still got a stack of those lying around

Journeyman Geek

FML Cat

Nowadays I can easily buy 4-way SATA splitters off the shelf.

Journeyman Geek

3:50 AM

that's true

(I originally used it to power my bias lighting)

FML Cat

@JourneymanGeek you should see the amount of duck tape that was involved... And the burn marks from accidental miswiring/short circuiting

Journeyman Geek

now I use it as a poor man's sense connector for it

I can imagine

FML Cat

I believe one I made where I cut off a molex extension cable and wired it to four SATA connectors was taped with brown parcel tape since I had no duck tape or electrical tape handy at the time

Speaking of which, I should probably buy a replacement roll of electrical tape, it's probably time to give up looking for that one I lost two months ago...

Journeyman Geek

right now I have... lets see

one mangled up molex to fan, a few of those RC style connectors and those screw on barrel jacks ;p

`Where-Object -InputObject $EveryBloodyUpdate -Property Products -Contains "Office 2016"`
... returns empty. Any ideas?

PS C:\Users\mfra1> $test | Where-Object -Property name -contains "123"

name age date
---- --- ----
123  456 789

PS C:\Users\mfra1> where-object -InputObject $test -Property name -contains "123"
PS C:\Users\mfra1>

Same results here.

The issue here is actually explains in the the cmdlet help text.

> When you use the InputObject parameter with Where-Object , instead of piping command results to Where-Object , the InputObject value is treated as a single object. This is true even if the value is a collection that is the result of a command, such as `-InputObject (Get-Process)`. Because InputObject cannot return individual properties from an array or collection of objects, we recommend that, if you use Where-Object to filter a collection of objects for those objects that have specific values in defined

Hi all, I'm a semi-novice computer user and I've run into the problem of the x265 encoding, which apparently my vanilla installation of VLC has trouble decoding

MPEG-H Part 2/HEVC H.265

Decoded format Planar 4:2:0 YUV 10-bit LE

rahuldottech

@user55789 How so? What's the problem?

user55789

Playing the mkv container gives vague, pixelated snapshots of the video but audio as usual

rahuldottech

@user55789 Did you encode the file yourself?

user55789

No

rahuldottech

10:29 AM

@user55789 I'd say that you should probably try MPC, although if VLC cannot play the file, it's likely an issue with the video track of the MKV container

Journeyman Geek

assuming he's on windows.

rahuldottech

Yes, that

@user55789 Does your PC have really old/weak specs?

That can certainly be an issue

user55789

Laptop, core i7-4600U 8GB RAM but I dont remember what specs

Win10 x64

Lenovo T440s

rahuldottech

@user55789 So hardware is likely not an issue

user55789

On-board gfx so that might be the culprit

Anyway I've loaded the file into MPC and it plays, and I get video

It's extremely jittery though... (?)

Journeyman Geek

10:33 AM

that's pretty new, and you should still be able to load it on VLC

latest version?

hm, what resolution?

user55789

Everything latest version yea, I updated all of it

1080p

The video file is 24-epsilon fps

But on estimate I'd say I'm getting less than half of that

rahuldottech

@user55789 24 FPS is bad

@user55789 hm. Probably an issue with the file. Do you have any others to try?

user55789

Some files play as normal, some don't

I must say the latest win10 creators update causes some troubles here and there..

I had to uninstall chrome and as mentioned some video files aren't playing correctly

Not sure if it helps but for the bigger picture:

I was wondering if there is a way to save an object's in-memory state in a file and then restore it in another computer.

Bob

@FleetCommand Sure. Look up serialisation.

Serialization for the funny not-really-English speakers :P

More specifically, a plain old data object can be pretty simply serialised into XML or JSON and restored later.

XML is probably easiest in PS.

If you really wanted to make it fast and small you'd go for binary serialisation instead.

user226528

It is always funny to see how the Americans and the Brits mock each other's English for being NOT mainstream. Two nations, divided by the common language!

Bob

Hm, apparently PS has first-class support for JSON too.

user226528

Yeah. I'm looking into it. Thanks for mentioning "serialisation" and "serialization".

Bob

2:00 PM

Of course, this is assuming you only have a data object.

If the object is of a special type and has methods on it, then this is harder.

You'd have to manually save the relevant data and reconstruct the correct object (from type) on the receiving end.

user226528

Oh, yeah. Like this:

user226528

 $a = $_
 Write-Output $a.Title
 $a.GetInstallableItems().Files | ForEach-Object {
    $b = $_.FileUri.AbsoluteUri
    Write-Output $b
 }

user226528

Not to worry though. I got that end covered.

Bob

Oh, oh!

Some types of serialisation can store more or less the entire in-memory state.

Righty, now that I have a working mailx command I need to figure out systemd timers and service files because apparently cron was just too easy

Journeyman Geek

cron still works

bertieb

I agree! But systemd is now the One True Way it would seem

Journeyman Geek

2:46 PM

ehh

ToxicFrog

2:58 PM

systemd timers are more overhead to set up but easier to manage once they are set up.

That said, if you really miss cron I'm pretty sure most distros still package it.

bertieb

Aye, I nearly installed fcron but figured now is a good time to learn how the timers and service files work

ToxicFrog

nods

I recently set up a bunch of timers, so I may be able to answer questions.

bertieb

Cheers!

Bob

@bertieb I actually find systemd timers much easier.

Cron is ... arcane

ToxicFrog

@Bob the advantage of crons is that once you're familiar with them, setting up a new one is really fast. Write wrapper script (if necessary, it often isn't), add one line to crontab, done.

systemd timers require two configuration files per timer (the timer unit and the service unit), albeit simple ones.

bertieb

3:05 PM

Aye ↑

Bob

@ToxicFrog Eh, if you wanted you could wrap the service and timer scripts in a pretty simple helper

which is more or less what the crontab command does for cron, anyway

(also there's systemd-run if you wanted a transient timer -- they're much simpler. I wonder if it can be tweaked to produce a persistent one...)

it's more a problem of maturity

some of the abstractions you're used to for older ways aren't necessarily complete yet (and might not even be necessary)

personally, I'm glad I'll (hopefully) never have to touch a sysvinit script again

cron wasn't quite that bad, but ...

bertieb

Well, I done goofed already

(hourly) timer isn't listed in systemctl list-timers --all

Bob

@bertieb did you systemctl enable it?

bertieb

Aye, and started

Will check the status

Ah hmm

Bob

where did you put it, and what's in it?

bertieb

3:11 PM

Ah, just grappling with the root / user divide

Things that work fine when run from my account don't work when run via systemd

So need to pass in some config files, I think

Bob

you can specify the user it runs as

bertieb

Oh really

This I did not know

Bob

just make sure your username doesn't start with a digit, because systemd is broken and they refuse to fix it :P

bertieb

Runas= or similar?

Ah, User= ?

ToxicFrog

Yeah

freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html

Just wait until you're dealing with a service that only works properly when run from the tty, and fails in different ways when run as a system service, as a system service with User=, and as a user service >.<

Bob

3:14 PM

@ToxicFrog oh, that's easy (if hackish): script -qfc 'service command' /dev/null

bertieb

Heh

ToxicFrog

@Bob no, it's not because it needs a controlling tty or user input or anything

Bob

if it only works properly when run from a tty, pretend it's running from a tty :P

ToxicFrog

It just does not function correctly if I run it as a daemon, for reasons I have yet to figure out

I assume there's some part of the shell execution environment I'm not properly recreating

(the program is calibre-server, for the curious)

(if run as a daemon it mostly works but stops serving cover images when accessing it via a browser)

bertieb

Okay, so the service runs

But still no timer

timer file named the same as service file (except extension)

Has [Unit], [Timer] and [Install] sections

Oh derp, you have to enable the timer separately from the service

And start it as well

Bob

3:21 PM

@bertieb You're not supposed to start the timer manually

...I think?

Though IIRC it might need to be a dependency of the multiuser target to autostart

bertieb

The ~~Oracle~~ Arch wiki says to start the timer as well

Bob

...might need to start it manually on first install?

huh.

I'll have to try that again at some point

bertieb

But yeah, maybe on first install

Next boot it should get picked up and started

Hurray! All seems to have gone well
