04:28.51 | findlay | when they did that to dominants I went looking for new strings, and for about 8 years spirocores have been my secret sauce. Loud, soft, flexible sound all for about $40 |

04:34.07 | findlay | rsimpkins: how big is it? |
04:34.31 | rsimpkins | findlay: this one is pretty good sized. |
04:34.48 | findlay | container-sized? |
04:35.22 | rsimpkins | I dunno, maybe 70-80 thousand square feet total? |
04:35.32 | findlay | wow |
04:35.33 | rsimpkins | Maybe more including office space, probably north of 100 |
04:35.37 | rsimpkins | 100 thousand. |
04:35.47 | findlay | you have office space in your UPS? |
04:35.53 | rsimpkins | datacenter. |
04:35.56 | findlay | oh |
04:36.09 | findlay | I was wondering how big your UPS was :) |
04:36.17 | rsimpkins | We have a UPS in the datacenter, and it works. Except the overhead lights aren't connected to it. :) |
04:36.37 | findlay | out of power? :) |
04:36.39 | rsimpkins | Oh gosh, we have 1.5MW just to this room. So I'm guessing pretty awefully big. |
04:36.49 | rsimpkins | On generator now. Big storm in dallas at the moment. |
04:37.14 | findlay | better to have one big one than lots of small ones? |
04:37.39 | rsimpkins | I dunno, probably more cost effective. |
04:37.49 | rsimpkins | So if that is part of the 'better' equation - then probably. |

18:57.09 | Sargun | ugh. |
18:57.26 | Sargun | findlay, If I want to find the intersection of a vertical line and another line, then what do I do? |
18:57.35 | findlay | whatever it is you're trying to do with vertical lines can almost certainly be accomodated by some transform or other |
18:57.41 | Sargun | solve for that x |

18:58.05 | Sargun | ugh, I'm going to have to right routines to check for undefined slopes. |
18:58.28 | findlay | the fact that vertical lines translate into singular algebraic objects is an interesting introspection into the fundamental relationships of mathematical realms |
18:58.40 | sjansen | I recommend a Negroponte transform. It's computational complexity is low, and the degree of unpredictability makes it more exciting. |

19:29.33 | goozbach | I forgot that SUSE has to reboot twice during an install |

19:36.36 | sinuhe | sjansen: I know this from experience. My last version of SuSE was 6.3. (I saw 7, but didn't use it extensively.) |
19:36.39 | Sargun | They freaking intersect you piece of crap junk |
19:38.27 | sjansen | I plan on running openSUSE 11.0 for awhile when it comes out. Since Novel bought them, them I get the impression they're drifting toward sanity... but that might just be wishful thinking. |
19:39.34 | mrpull | sjansen: novel will _improve_ the Suse situation? |
19:39.57 | sinuhe | mrpull: That was my thought, too... |
19:41.29 | sjansen | mrpull: Have you looked at some of the crazy-a** things SUSE does? sux, SuSEconfig, rug, their stupid one kernel at a time upgrades, a boot process built using make, and more |
19:42.08 | mrpull | maybe novel's ties to microsoft will help them out <joking> |
19:42.14 | goozbach | ... the fact it takes HOURS to do a simple install |

19:42.32 | ibot | make: *** No rule to make target `sjansen'. Stop. |
19:42.42 | goozbach | ... the fact it takes three reboots to do an install (very microsoft-ish) |
19:42.58 | mrpull | I haven't tried suse for anything beyond a desktop install to poke my head around |
19:43.58 | sjansen | Thankfully, some of those things are historical. The make based boot seems to have been a failed experiment. sux has been replaced by pam_xauth. They've added libvirt and virt-manager as an alternative to their annoying YaST Xen wizard. |
19:45.42 | sjansen | Heck, they've even added the "service" command. A choice I can only explain by guessing that Novell is pushing their engineers to make it easier for customers to transition from RH, a natural result of which is less NIH wackiness. |
19:47.05 | sjansen | RH may have its faults, but it's generally done a better job of working with the community to get it's work adopted by others, and RH hasn't been afraid of copying the best ideas from Debian. |
19:48.41 | sjansen | And speaking of community, openSUSE is finally starting to come into its own. That's going to be another force for good. |

20:59.28 | tensai | elg: question about transcoding in myth. if I understand correctly, myth can record at full resolutions and then reencode at lower bitrates, right? is that what you're doing? |
20:59.49 | elg | sort of, and yes |

21:00.28 | elg | it doesn't really record, it just saves the mpeg2 stream to disk |
21:00.33 | tensai | elg: yes, that's what I have and that's what I suspected |
21:00.44 | elg | then you can transcode it to save space or make it playable, etc. |

21:00.53 | Sargun | tensai, why not? |
21:01.01 | levi | elg: How is saving the stream to disk not really recording? |
21:01.03 | tensai | Sargun: why not not? |
21:01.13 | Sargun | -_- |
21:01.26 | elg | stream size depends on the station too |
21:01.26 | Sargun | tensai, what resolution is this tv? |
21:01.40 | tensai | Sargun: the display? it's an analog tv, ntsc. |
21:01.41 | elg | levi: it all depends on what one means by record |
21:01.55 | Sargun | tensai, how many FPS? |
21:01.56 | elg | tensai: i transcode all of my stuff down to 640xauto |
21:02.06 | levi | elg: What's your definition that it doesn't meet? |
21:02.13 | elg | since it's getting resized to roughly that size on playback anyway |
21:02.17 | elg | ~dict record |
21:02.34 | goozbach | this network install of SUSE is difficult |
21:02.51 | Sargun | how many bytes is a pixel? |
21:02.51 | goozbach | I have to manually force yast to boot the hard drive each time I reboot |
21:02.55 | tensai | elg: how does one set that up? I've tried a few things and I never get any transcoding. |
21:03.11 | elg | levi: to me record implies a change of format. you have analog signal and you store it on magnetic tape, or sample it and store it on disk |
21:03.19 | markl_ | tensai: 2.5G is nothing, that is probably not even a hi def signal |
21:03.23 | tensai | Sargun: how many fps is the TV? it's 30 fps interleaved. that's standard ntsc. |
21:03.32 | tensai | markl_: yes, that's what concerns me |
21:03.33 | elg | if I copy a movie file from one HD to another, did I record something? |
21:03.42 | Sargun | Tene, Wikipedia: NTSC with a frame rate of 23.976 fps is described in the NTSC-film standard. |
21:03.46 | elg | technically, in the sense that copying any file is "recording to disk", perhaps |
21:03.47 | markl_ | actually 2.5G per half hour might be nbc |
21:03.52 | tensai | elg: yes and you should pay your tax to the mpaa |
21:03.54 | elg | if I download an mp3 from the web, did I record it? |
21:04.13 | markl_ | tensai: just get a multi terabyte raid array and you'll be ok |
21:04.33 | markl_ | imo the transcoding isn't worth the pain, i can barely tolerate mythcommflag |
21:04.35 | tensai | markl_: bugger's too loud already. that's the last thing I need. would be fun though. |
21:04.43 | elg | but in the sense of "i captured the bits flying through the air for later playback" it does fit |
21:04.49 | markl_ | tensai: pxe boot to an iscsi array in the other room :) |
21:05.00 | levi | elg: If it's a live stream that happens to be in mp3 format, 'record' seems as good a term as any. |
21:05.01 | Tene | Sargun: Thanks! I always wanted to know that! Why are you telling me, though? |
21:05.02 | nick125 | anyone here use GFS? |
21:05.13 | Sargun | nick125, the RH thing? |
21:05.15 | elg | it's a close fit, but depending on the context it could be glazed over and the significance of the not-really-recordingness missed, which is why I pointed it out explicitly |
21:05.34 | Tene | nick125: I've used it in the lab a few times. |
21:05.42 | elg | levi: I say saving is a better term |
21:05.42 | nick125 | Sargun: yeah |
21:05.47 | levi | elg: I'm just not seeing what essential sense of the word 'recording' it doesn't capture. |
21:05.55 | tensai | nick125: same here. used it once in a test environment. never really got it working right. |
21:06.12 | nick125 | I was thinking of giving GFS+AoE a try. |
21:06.19 | Sargun | Tene, 56 mbit/sec with no compression.. |
21:06.20 | elg | levi: record might have implied that it could be recorded at varying quality/bitrate/etc. |
21:06.26 | levi | So, 'saving' might be a better fit, but you're saying that 'recording' is technically incorrect on some level, and I'm trying to see why. |
21:06.36 | elg | I didn't know if the word record implied that to tensai or not, so I made it explicit |
21:06.38 | Sargun | nick125, goozbach must have. he is an RHCX |
21:06.59 | Tene | Sargun: you're tab-completing wrong. Check your tab-completiong. |
21:07.08 | Tene | Sargun: you want to talk to tensai, not tene. |
21:07.12 | elg | because with an hdhr, you get the stream you get, and then you can transcode it. there's no changing "recording quality" |
21:07.21 | Sargun | Tene, Hmph, you guys are about the same ;-P |
21:07.43 | Tene | Sargun: true, but tensai is missing the hilights. |
21:07.45 | goozbach | Sargun: RHCX doesn't mean you know GFS |
21:07.48 | markl_ | what is an hdhr? |
21:07.50 | levi | elg: Anyway, I understand what you meant now, though "recording quality" with other types of recording is just transcoding by another name. |
21:07.56 | markl_ | how does it compare to a pchdtv 5500 |
21:07.58 | elg | incidentally, HD is something like 20mbit/s which is about 9G/hour, so 2.5 G for half an hour would be roughly half HD, and it might be HD resolution with lower bitrate |
21:08.03 | tensai | markl_: hdhomerun |
21:08.05 | goozbach | GFS is only handled in the RHCA level classes |
21:08.18 | Sargun | goozbach, you never did the RHCA level classes? |
21:08.27 | goozbach | nope |
21:08.29 | Sargun | goozbach, All RHCXs should have to be RHCAs! :-P |
21:08.31 | tensai | markl_: don't know how it compares though. the hdhr has dual tuners and just feeds an mpeg2 stream across the network. |
21:08.40 | sinuhe | I can't imagine wanting to do RHCA. RHCSS sounds interesting, but I doubt I'd be interested in much more. |
21:08.42 | markl_ | dual tuners is nice |
21:08.43 | goozbach | Sargun: doesn't work that way |
21:08.58 | goozbach | wished it had... |
21:09.00 | elg | levi: well, yes, but since it's encoding from analog it's not really *trans*coding, so much as *en*coding. but yeah, same CPU requirements though myth doesn't (afaict) support transcoding on the fly as you save the mpeg2 stream |
21:09.02 | goozbach | but oh well |
21:09.03 | sinuhe | Some things in computers just aren't that interesting. |
21:09.06 | Sargun | goozbach, Yeah, I know, but that's how Cisco does it, sort of.. |
21:09.08 | tensai | I think I've got too much signal loss with my splitter though. right now I've only got one tuner active |
21:09.09 | markl_ | i have a pair of 5500's and it is kind of a PITA to get going due to weird module issues when you have 2 |
21:09.13 | sinuhe | Now selinux, kerberos...aaahhh |
21:09.24 | Sargun | sinuhe, SELinux :-( |
21:09.30 | sinuhe | :-(? |
21:09.36 | elg | tensai: so when you set up a recording, you can choose the recording profile and the transcoding profile, and whether to allow it to auto-transcode |
21:09.37 | Sargun | SELinux is a pain |
21:09.51 | elg | the recording profile, just ignore it with an hdhr |
21:09.52 | sinuhe | A pain for crackers, yes. :-) |
21:09.55 | tensai | markl_: yeah, that's why I went with the hdhr. dead simple dual tuners. and only $169 to boot. |
21:09.56 | levi | elg: Analog signals are encoded, too, though I guess the term encoding is more common for digital. |
21:10.06 | elg | basically the only setting you can set in a recording profile is whether or not to allow auto transcoding |
21:10.36 | levi | markl_: That's the advantage of the hdhomerun. No kernel issues whatsoever; no driver required. |
21:10.39 | elg | levi: well now you're just being silly. :) of course they're encoded but they're not digitally encoded. |
21:11.18 | tensai | elg: I upgraded myth from 0.20 to 0.21 last night and now I've got that magical xv setting you were telling me about |
21:11.20 | beandog | meh |
21:11.24 | beandog | just get an hd tivo :) |
21:11.29 | elg | tensai: you might want to enable transcoding in the default hdhr recording profile |
21:11.32 | levi | elg: Yeah, but I'm saying the ADC process is a transcoding proces, because you've got to decode the analog signal and then encode the digital one. |
21:12.01 | elg | for an analog radio signal, ok I'll grant it though not in the usual sense of "transcode" when talking amongst computer geeks |
21:12.04 | tensai | beandog: and miss out on all this fun? |
21:12.14 | elg | though it's not the ADC process that's transcoding |
21:12.33 | elg | ADC is just ADC. the interpretation of the sample analog signal is the transcoding bit |
21:12.43 | beandog | tensai, my tivo swore me off of ever trying to hack mythtv for recording tv ever again |
21:13.11 | elg | i can't see myself paying a subscription for a PVR |
21:13.15 | beandog | I do love MythVideo though. |
21:13.21 | beandog | elg, yah, I bought a lifetime sub. |
21:13.23 | elg | subscription for channel information (schedules direct) sure |
21:13.23 | tensai | beandog: building it is half the fun |
21:13.39 | mrpull | tivo is the answer... though I did just trade in the directv tivo for the lousy d* branded dvr |
21:13.42 | elg | beandog: I thought I heard they were aboloshing that and screwing the lifetime subscription customers |
21:13.49 | levi | $20/yr is completely reasonable for Schedules Direct. I'm happy how that turned out. |
21:13.50 | beandog | elg, nope |
21:13.55 | beandog | elg, I just got mine a few weeks ago |
21:14.35 | beandog | I think its $15/yr isnt it? |
21:14.39 | elg | I might go tivo when I have the money to burn. hardly seems worth it for broadcast tv though |
21:14.55 | elg | tensai: what kind of signal gains do you get? |
21:14.59 | beandog | elg, well, yah, mines dual-tuner HD. is very nice. Picks up all the encrypted channels too. |
21:15.06 | elg | the splitter I have doesn't seem to have much loss |
21:15.09 | beandog | CableCard++ |
21:15.16 | tensai | elg: 65-70% |
21:15.18 | levi | beandog: So, how much was your Tivo and how does it compare with your former MythTV recording? |
21:15.20 | beandog | elg, come over some time, Ill demo it for yah |
21:15.22 | markl_ | man i wish i could combine cablecard with mythtv |
21:15.30 | markl_ | dish network dvr hella sucks |
21:15.32 | elg | beandog: maybe come Christmas :) |
21:15.36 | beandog | levi, well, tbh, I was never happy with mythtv recording anyway, so it didnt take a lot for me to jump ship |
21:15.43 | elg | I like dish's dvr |
21:15.48 | beandog | levi, Tivo was $250 plus $400 for lifetime sub |
21:15.50 | elg | though I've never graced a tivo |
21:15.51 | markl_ | it is better than no dvr |
21:15.54 | beandog | but, I'm hooked. |
21:15.58 | elg | but comcast's REALLY sucked |
21:15.59 | beandog | I've got 4 at home now. 3 with lifetime subs. |
21:16.00 | markl_ | tivo is about a zillion times better than dish |
21:16.20 | elg | and dish is about a zilion times better than comcast |
21:16.31 | markl_ | i have heard that comcast is the worst |
21:16.32 | levi | beandog: $650 is reasonable compared to a dual-HD MythTV setup. |
21:16.44 | elg | tensai: what about with the splitter? |
21:16.51 | beandog | levi, yah? I guess so, never really thought about it. One nice thing is I dont have to split between two cards. |
21:17.03 | beandog | the cable I mean. |
21:17.21 | beandog | and yes, Comcasts' DVR will make you want to slay kittehs. |
21:17.22 | elg | what kind of antenna do you have? you should try the coat hanger loop |
21:17.36 | tensai | elg: haven't done a qualitative analysis. with the splitter I wasn't able to complete a channel scan. |
21:17.55 | levi | beandog: Well, there's probably a signal splitter inside the box. |
21:18.03 | tensai | elg: antenna is a massive external brute |
21:18.09 | markl_ | i have the old voom dish/antenna combo still |
21:18.16 | elg | ah, then the coathanger loop might not help :) |
21:18.32 | elg | but maybe if you hook up the other tuner with one you can at least pick up some of the stations on it |
21:18.47 | mrpull | I bought an inexpensive phillips antenna to check out KJZZ's HD coverage of the jazz games |
21:18.50 | elg | you don't have an amplifier probably |
21:18.59 | levi | Massive external antennas are generally tuned for low VHF channels, aren't they? |
21:18.59 | mrpull | POS doesn't keep the gain setting for the amp |
21:19.02 | beandog | levi, yah, I just mean, its nice that I don't have to split my cable one more time with an external splitter. |
21:19.08 | mrpull | every fifteen minutes you have to get up and reset it |
21:19.11 | beandog | levi, andd degrade the signal even more |
21:19.20 | tensai | elg: part of the problem I'm sure is that I have another splitter already in line, so my loss is even more magnified. I need to rethink my cabling. |
21:19.24 | elg | levi: depends on the design. they can do uhf too |
21:19.41 | elg | oh yeah, two or more splitters is asking for it |
21:19.55 | levi | elg: Yeah, I'm just thinking that if it's really old, it might not be optimal for UHF. |
21:19.57 | mrpull | it took all of 5 seconds to google it and find that lots of others have the same problem with this antenna |
21:20.07 | elg | tensai: levi has a point - all my HD channels are (for now) UHF, and your antenna may be primarily designed for VHF |
21:20.17 | elg | s/HD/digital/ |
21:20.42 | elg | mrpull: did you see my blog entry about a coathanger antenna? |
21:20.50 | elg | it beat the pants off of my RCA amplified antenna |
21:20.55 | mrpull | I did. Are you familiar with the term WAF? |
21:21.14 | levi | Anyway, from my research, a good UHF antenna with a signal amplifier right next to it might work well if you need to go through a splitter. |
21:21.14 | elg | :) |
21:21.22 | elg | well you can run coax to it and put it in the garage or something |
21:22.01 | elg | or just pull it out for jazz games. jazz games are probably pretty low on the WAF scale to begin with ;-) |
21:22.04 | tensai | elg: some of mine are vhf and some are uhf. channels 9, 17, 23 and 36 |
21:22.49 | levi | tensai: I seriously doubt any digital signals are on the real channel 9, 17, etc. |
21:22.52 | beandog | so what would be larger in size, 1080i or 720p? |
21:22.58 | mrpull | my wife just had some custom furniture designed for the new TV |
21:22.59 | elg | tensai: which ones don't come in well? btw, make sure you're finding out the real channel, not the advertising channel |
21:23.17 | levi | tensai: Have you looked on antennaweb? |
21:23.20 | tensai | levi: yes, those are the real channels. they claim to be 3, 6, 8 and 10. |
21:23.23 | elg | antennaweb is awesome |

21:25.04 | tensai | now that I think about it, it's the higher freq channels that don't come in as well |
21:25.19 | elg | tensai: sounds like you could use a UHF antenna |

21:25.33 | mrpull | I get everything but "13" |
21:26.04 | tensai | elg: all of them come in fine for the dtv converter box. occasionally there's some garbage, but not like the hdhr experiences |
21:26.05 | levi | tensai: antennaweb says you have 3 current digital channels at frequencies 17, 23, and 36. They correspond to analog 10, 6, and 3. |

21:26.29 | elg | antennaweb tells me you have channels 10.1, 8.1, 6.1, 3.1, and 15, that are really on channels 17, 8, 23, 36, 15 respectively |
21:26.48 | levi | elg: You'll note that 2 of them have live dates in the future. |

21:28.50 | elg | anyway, it says yellow UHF and one green UHF (that you don't get digitally yet anyway) |
21:29.07 | beandog | don't watch the yellow UHF |
21:29.14 | elg | which is what antennaweb says about mine too. you ought to try the coat hanger |
21:29.33 | elg | you might be surprised |
21:29.46 | tensai | elg: that's not me. it says "11 programs for US:83301" and none of those channels match mine. |
21:30.13 | elg | tensai: oh, interesting. anyway, I'm looking at antennaweb still |

21:51.19 | levi | Hmm, gnuradio might be able to transmit ATSC. |

21:51.41 | beandog | tensai, heh |
21:51.42 | nick125 | My problem was that two interfaces on my router/server had an IP in the same subnet as my modem, so it wouldn't know where to send stuff...so I had to add an explicit route |
21:52.13 | nick125 | basically routing <modem IP> to <modem IP> on the WAN interface. |

22:31.42 | levi | Hmm, there's a card called a TVB 590 that will take an MPEG2 stream on disk and send it out via QAM or 8VSB. |
22:31.54 | levi | And it's got Linux drivers. |

22:32.58 | levi | elg: I'm thinking that it would be useful for video distribution around a house. |
22:33.12 | elg | :) |
22:33.14 | elg | could work |
22:33.30 | levi | elg: Like how you can use an RF modulator to throw the output of a VCR or whatever around. |
22:34.20 | tensai | levi: sounds like it would be cheaper to run coax |
22:34.46 | levi | tensai: Um, it requires that you run coax. |
22:34.57 | levi | tensai: The idea is that you get HD video, not SD video. |
22:36.08 | tensai | for $700 you could buy a lot of coax |
22:36.22 | levi | It basically 'broadcasts' a digital TV station to an antenna or closed-loop coax distribution system. |
22:36.42 | levi | tensai: You seem to have missed something fundamental here. |
22:36.58 | levi | You have to buy the coax anyway. |
22:37.57 | tensai | your mention of gnuradio threw me. I thought you meant rebroadcasting the signal. |
22:38.46 | levi | Clearly you can easily throw NTSC signals around your house through the coax network. But that gets you a standard def, 2-channel audio signal. |
22:39.27 | levi | Here, you can populate a digital channel in your home with HD programming you stored on your media server. |
22:39.57 | levi | I'm just dreaming here, of course, but it's interesting to see how feasible your dreams are occasionally. |
22:41.52 | findlay | levi: the Industry wants you to use HDMI(R) |
22:41.58 | findlay | :) |
22:42.26 | nick125 | Here goes nothing. |
22:42.50 | findlay | <PROTECTED> |
22:43.20 | findlay | <nothing> |
22:43.46 | tensai | I notice that my wifi has a tough time with a full hd stream |
22:43.52 | levi | findlay: HDMI is not suitable for long-distance transport. |
22:44.31 | levi | findlay: Which is why we have QAM and 8VSB. They're what digital cable and digital broadcast TV use. |
22:44.48 | levi | I am aiming to replace HDMI with EthernetAV, anyway. |
22:46.11 | tensai | levi: will ethernetav have all that drm junk? |
22:46.45 | mrpull | levi: directv has a "pro" receiver that sends HDMI over fiber |
22:47.41 | levi | tensai: Undoubtedly some transport protocols will have drm, but the basic technology won't. |
22:47.57 | levi | mrpull: Fiber is expensive; cat5 is cheap. |
22:48.29 | jsmith | levi: Not really, with the price of copper these days... it's the labor that's expensive |
22:48.32 | tensai | cheap and ubiquitous |
22:49.04 | mrpull | not many have glass in their wall yet though |
22:49.06 | jsmith | tensai: As opposed to "cheap and ridiculous" |
22:49.17 | mrpull | if we are dreaming, lets make it all wireless |
22:49.22 | findlay | I saw a DVD player that had optical out and the optical cable was about the size of an xlr cord |
22:50.23 | findlay | mrpull: somebody can intercept your sound packets and listen/watch your movie from their laptop in the car across the street! |
22:50.34 | findlay | better encrypt your theater data |
22:50.35 | levi | Hm, I guess fiber isn't terribly expensive anymore. |
22:51.05 | levi | Well, if fiber ever becomes cheaper than twisted pair, you can easily run ethernet over it. :) |
22:51.25 | findlay | multiple aethernets :) |
22:51.49 | levi | EthernetAV is being designed to work with 802.11, too. |
22:52.23 | mrpull | of course our utopia detractor friends will tell us that fiber will be worthless in 6 weeks |
22:52.32 | findlay | haha |
