[wheat plume]

I remember this happening before !

I knew it would not work when I removed that in the file

brave wont open now

not working even when I put the line back

[fair gull]

read the echo maybe

[wheat plume]

nvm spelled sandbox wrong

forgot the 🅱

[fair gull]

sandox

[pale sigil]

@digital cliff yes you can use messenger without a profile

Ofc they still harvest data via your messages etc

I wanna stop using Facebook so badly

As for texting I don't renew my sim when I'm out of uni

So kinda out go the picture

[pale sigil]

Amazon echo in the UK for £15 if anyone is interested

[pale sigil]

U

[fair gull]

so?

they are all versionupdate checks

[wheat plume]

you need to have these to chekc version

^^^

[fair gull]

this is prob more a quirk of it being a firefox fork

and the version check doesnt really intrude privacy

thats like saying anyone driving by your house intrudes your privacy if they tell you that ur door is falling apart when it is falling apart

"let the package manager inform the user"

u know that firefox also does this right?

cause they have sourcecode that crosscompiles

1 source all OSs

dont see your point by linking that

but ok

k so now i link you a ~2months old chrome build

and then im like "bunch of things wrong with it"

i also dont think that they need to explain that they need ur os, browser version for identification of if u need an update and if so which binaries to download

same for the addon blocklist

million dollar question... what does the browser use for checks etc

no

it uses the website

shocker

how dare they use their own website... for an opensource browser... that anyone can verify their claims via the source

wha

dont use the internet then

idk how a simple request... containing completely useless non identifying info(except ip which is needed for the internet to work tho) can be privacy infringing

personally the most dumb thing i ever heard

if they track your usage etc ok sure

i can see that being kinda weird for a "privacy based" browser

but hey IP xyz, WaterFox XX.YY, on OS YOUROS wants an update? any there?

they prob dont even store it

its not a "no request browser" its a "privacy browser"

oh ya let me use pale moon smth thats based on FF 28

30 version behind

that sounds really useful and future proof

iirc its based on 28

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/ZWQ0591PAxM

[fair gull]

also nope to that

that will run horrible when having multiple videos

quote on multiple videos

like

a mixer stream

2 twitch streams

[latent mural]

what processor do you have?

[fair gull]

and a yt video

cause thatll fuck ur cpu on a single thread

[latent mural]

twitch squad kills it alone

[fair gull]

^

twitch even kills modern quantum

ya no

thatll get fucked by twitch easily

it just wont be efficient when decoding multiple video source at once

cause it cant do it parralel

cause single proc and prob single thread for "privacy"

idk why that even be an idea

plus if one tab crashes the entire browser is gone

if u want quantum prob not

with twitch? 2 or 3 times a week?

but currently people suspect twitch running some crappy code

cause

videos stutter

unresponsive

and other issues

plus i can easily run 3 or 4 4k 60fps videos no stuttering

thats how i testest my new monitors

i7-9700k and a 2080ti

[crimson wigeon]

But also browser devs on Linux seem to give 0 shits about GPU video decoding

[fair gull]

sounded very generel

[crimson wigeon]

nowhere

[fair gull]

it uses gpu decoding on windows already in the dev branches

i tested it

works great

[crimson wigeon]

Has used for years

[fair gull]

mean linux

iirc it doesnt on linux

[crimson wigeon]

Lies

[fair gull]

weird then smth else used my gpu

i mean

i cant really tell if its my cpu or gpu

cause both run fine with 1 vid

well htop

who uses top tbh

[crimson wigeon]

People tend to get it confused because it can use the GPU to accelerate website rendering but not video decoding

[fair gull]

nono the website rendering is smth i usually disbale

cause i already had problems with that

but i only heard my gpu rev up after like 2 or 3 mins of the vid

so i thought

wow

its finally done it

precompiled or sourcecompiled

hm well then it def wasnt in

must have been smth else then

well i only had a video on fullscreen

cause i compared linux to windows perf

in a few things

cause

honestly id really like to make the switch

but rn games still dont run as good as i like

[crimson wigeon]

Chromium does have a patch available and it works for me, why it isn't merged in mainline I have no fucking idea

Probably because Nvidia refuses to implement VAAPI

Thanks Nvidia

[fair gull]

i mean u can always use mpv on linux right

and watch ur fav yt vids that way

but spacex?

i mean we are talking about elon musk here... the guy that laughed about a dead dolphin in a pool on meme review

idk but... id say hes up there with the cooler ceos

like bill gates

elon kind of aswell

ya but

u see

a multithreaded single process

has one small problem

the ram consumption is way bigger than multiple processes with a single thread each

plus shared mem

firefox creates a new process and thus also more or less walls of the used memory

at least thats my experience

[crimson wigeon]

Calculating memory usage is a bit tricky anyway

[fair gull]

^

but usually the more threads a single process has as workers the messier it gets

and usually it just eats memory at some point

not saying that FF and chrome dont

they also treat ram like free real estate

i dont honestly

i have 64gb of ram

and

i couldnt really care less soon gonna get 128gb

so i can set up more VMs

[wheat plume]

i have 8gb...

and I use GNOME desktop

EW

NU

NEVER

id rather use the suckless browser 😮

[crimson wigeon]

Aw yeah

Good memories of using links in graphical mode in a VT while waiting for shit to compile because I broke X again

[wheat plume]

o.o

not bad

but do NOT go on youtube

it cannot youtube

I may make a keybinding to run MPV on my youtube playlist

and maybe, the site works but bad graphical issues and If I remember right it would not fullscreen

[crimson wigeon]

Vimperator was so nifty tho

[wheat plume]

it can use the mouse and scroll wheel

Extensions are bloat it seems to them

https://surf.suckless.org/

[crimson wigeon]

It's suckless, so I imagine you're expected to patch whatever bloat you want in yourself

[wheat plume]

Exactly

and then recompile it

yeh!

Wait......I must find a way to bind my MPV command into a keyboard shortcut

Yeh there is

lets see if it works

it did!

music magically happening from nowhere with no way to pause or skip !

dang it

[wheat plume]

Cannot find a way to skip a song in the playlist

there is --skip or --previous flag

[fair gull]

she

her

[wheat plume]

or in my case, streaming my youtube playlist on shuffle

[fair gull]

u mean

mphc but better and a few more features but also less features

@proud nacelle btw the right pronoun for if u are unsure of the preferred gender is they/their

[wheat plume]

media player!

yes, yes it is

[fair gull]

can we just agree that aimp is a better music player

[wheat plume]

and it has no official GUI

MPV is cross platform and you dont even need to open it to play music with it!

i am so used from my days on window managers I make the terminal always launch with super + enter

[fair gull]

idk i like aimp more than mvp

[wheat plume]

kk

[fair gull]

mostly cause of inbuilt plugin, gui and equalizer etc

[wheat plume]

I use Rhytmbox for local music

[fair gull]

it has some handy features i dont wanna miss

[wheat plume]

i cant spell it but I love Rhythmbox

[fair gull]

especially the library feature

[fair gull]

aimp is love

aimp is life

[wheat plume]

well, I dont have an offline music library!

so spotify or MPV to playyoutube for me!

[fair gull]

i pmuch only have offline music

theres only a handful of songs i listen to on yt cause no CD version and therefore usually no flac

and only shitty quality mp3

[wheat plume]

I forgot this settings is a thing

[fair gull]

not even a good one

yt encoding fucks the audio tho

[wheat plume]

youtube-dl is great
but it lies, it says it can continue downloadinf from where it left off if you are downloading a playlist but it cant ;-;

[fair gull]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FURPQI3VW58

this compares them to a master record

aka the highest of qualities

[ashen spindle]

tbh I barely even notice a difference so

[fair gull]

well u can def tell the difference in bass between yt and anything else

like theres a reason i buy cds and rip em instead of just listening to them when i feel like it

it enables me to listen to it 24/7 even on the go

no downtimes

and in the pmuch best quality

[ashen spindle]

I'm even using someone else's youtube playlist bc I'm too lazy to make one myself

[fair gull]

you can download smth like EAC and easily rip flacs of of it

or mp3, wav whatever

[wheat plume]

Our stupid ass college website had two back buttons

[warped dove]

You shouldn't be so negative

[wheat plume]

And that can't be just copy paste twice by accident because there is a <br> between them :')

Is there an uncensored version

FUCK YOU 3

I clicked the link for the album

[plush summit]

youtubes is worst

[latent mural]

a mobile carrier apparently

[plush summit]

dam

wtf

[wheat plume]

It tells me I can turn this off on my account

Idfk where

[latent mural]

http://support.three.co.uk/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBISAPI.DLL?Command=New,Kb=Mobile,Ts=Mobile,T=Article,varset_cat=internetapps,varset_subcat=3582,Case=obj(16080)

[plush summit]

wtf

thanks EU

[wheat plume]

The issue was
I was on 3 for like 4 years
And I never had this filter until I left my phone off for two weeks while in America and when I came back book suddenly filter

Boom**

[latent mural]

not the fault of the EU

[wheat plume]

Sometime during those two weeks they decided let's activate the filter

Ffs

Why is an iPhone website going it into detail about a global beta ROM update to miui 10??

[ashen spindle]

hrmm how come my apache logs are completely empty? accessing my webpage should only work if apache is running right?

[fair gull]

unless u use nginx or smth

highly doubt that if he didnt touch the configs that is

[ashen spindle]

yea I havent touched anything since the first install

[fair gull]

just to make sure... which path are u checking

[ashen spindle]

/var/log/apache2/

[fair gull]

hm....

[ashen spindle]

acess and error log are empty

[fair gull]

do u have a httpd folder in the logs folder?

[ashen spindle]

no

[fair gull]

weird

do u use linode?

[ashen spindle]

debian

[fair gull]

linode is a provider

but nvm

[ashen spindle]

lol

[fair gull]

i think ure netcup

[ashen spindle]

netcup ye

[fair gull]

id say check the apache2 config

[ashen spindle]

well according to the envvars file the directory should be the right one

uhhhh how do I check that?

already tried to find a status command or so for apache, couldnt find one for debian lol

[pale sigil]

You using terminal?

Do sudo service apache2 status

[fair gull]

apache2 usually runs as either root or www-data

if u dont touch anything

and just install it

[ashen spindle]

I also changed ownership of the log folder and files to my account so there is no account that cant write to it

[fair gull]

uh

bad move

[ashen spindle]

is it?

[fair gull]

yes

[pale sigil]

F

[fair gull]

www-data is the user that should own the folders for www shit

u leave the ownership as is

always

[ashen spindle]

well it was empty before already

[pale sigil]

Perms are for fools

[ashen spindle]

I meant he log files

[pale sigil]

^

[fair gull]

ya

[ashen spindle]

oh its not active lol

[fair gull]

or install nginx

[ashen spindle]

that explains it

[fair gull]

how does one serve files wihtout a webserver

[ashen spindle]

it was what was installed already so I just used it

[fair gull]

id also shoot myself if id use apache

[ashen spindle]

what should I use instead?

[fair gull]

i mean use nginx or apache

nginx just has multi threaded workers by default

plus they dont leak memory like the apache2 ones

both perform the same on dynamic files and nginx just barely takes the lead on static ones usually

[pale sigil]

Apache2 > nginx

😂😂😂😂

[ashen spindle]

guys I just need something to display 3 html files lol nothing big

[fair gull]

tbh as long as u dont need to have 50 concurrent threads running with different shit cause u run microservices in php

u can also use apache2

if u however want to run said amount of microservices id recommend nginx

[ashen spindle]

also, how do I check what process are running since it seems to work while apache2 is inactiv

[pale sigil]

@ashen spindle you can run them on my server if you want

Other than that I can help you

[fair gull]

top or htop

[pale sigil]

If you need it

[fair gull]

or that

[ashen spindle]

nah I need this server for more than just websites

ts/website/SVN

[pale sigil]

TS in 2019 lul

[fair gull]

actually recommend nginx then due to less ram usage over longer run times and multiple millions of acesses

[ashen spindle]

ya the shit mumble settings and interface is a big no thanks for me

[fair gull]

and why not a git server

why svn

[ashen spindle]

and ts is free

I'm not renting it

[fair gull]

ts isnt free

[ashen spindle]

*up till 32 users

[fair gull]

u sell ur soul

[pale sigil]

So is discord

[latent mural]

you have to be in a vc to chat in ts though

[ashen spindle]

yea but if discord is down I cant use it

[pale sigil]

We are trying to save him

[fair gull]

@digital cliff i like eating shit

[latent mural]

which is stupid

[fair gull]

@ashen spindle if ur discord server is down u also cant use it

[pale sigil]

Ye discord just gets worse and worse

[ashen spindle]

except we use discord to talk daily

[fair gull]

like im cool with ts3 no problem its anyones choice

but svn instead of git

smh

[ashen spindle]

not by choice, but I cba to explain artists to use git

[pale sigil]

Discord is the best of all worlds that's why a lot of people love it

[fair gull]

but u can explain svn to them?

i gave up on svn

i dont understand it

[ashen spindle]

yes, they knew it already

also when discord is down I can't use anything of it so it's better to have an unrelated service anyway

[latent mural]

yup

but most alternatives are also pretty bad

[pale sigil]

I feel discord doesn't get enough credit, it's 100% free, they don't sell your data and don't abuse you with ads, they make money via support which is optional.

Even with their shitty mods and server

[latent mural]

^

[ashen spindle]

I mean I am using discord literally right now

[latent mural]

discord is pretty good

not perfect

[fair gull]

plus gl ddosing discord

[latent mural]

but pretty good

well

[fair gull]

i think ur ts3 will crash way sooner

[pale sigil]

Like it's the only platform you can use without you being the product

[latent mural]

their servers kind of kill themselves from time to time

[pale sigil]

Or being seen as a profile not a person or consumer

[fair gull]

true

[ashen spindle]

had 0 issues so far with TS but 2 times discord was down + some hiccups

[pale sigil]

The only issues I've had is it being down etc

[latent mural]

ts doesn't allow to use textchat without being in a vc

[pale sigil]

Vc?

[ashen spindle]

I am literally using it because we want voicechats.....

[latent mural]

and no writing in one chat while talking on another server

vc = voicechat

[pale sigil]

That's weird

[fair gull]

also ud have a hard time being in 100 ts3 servers

[pale sigil]

Not the second one

I agree with tino

[fair gull]

its just chromium

[pale sigil]

Discord isn't ts

Discord is > ts

[fair gull]

ya cause ts3 is shit

[ashen spindle]

anyway, what was the command to see running processes?

[fair gull]

u want ts3 on android? gotta pay

[latent mural]

tbh it'S more like skype

[fair gull]

@ashen spindle top

[latent mural]

but not complete garbage

[pale sigil]

I will admin I miss the audio quality

[fair gull]

celt mono on 10

was the best

[pale sigil]

Use htop

[fair gull]

^

u need to install that tho

its better

[pale sigil]

It's on Debian to install without packages

So you'll be fine

[ashen spindle]

dont have htop

[pale sigil]

Sudo apt-get install htop

[pale sigil]

Sorted

[fair gull]

nope not the same

[crimson wigeon]

ps aux

[pale sigil]

I mean they kinda are the same

Lol

[fair gull]

ya cause any newb automatically knows the keybinds

[pale sigil]

^

[fair gull]

as if theyd know man exists

[crimson wigeon]

Dunno

[ashen spindle]

so there is lighttpd running from user www-data, I guess that could be it? nothing else running from www-data

[pale sigil]

If you're not willing to read wikis don't use Linux hehehe

[fair gull]

gl finding a debian manual

[crimson wigeon]

I was told that man is one of the most important commands

[fair gull]

it is

altho no

[crimson wigeon]

So I assume any newb would know about it

[fair gull]

its 2. most important

theres a way more important command

rm -rf / --no-preserve-root

thats

the most important

[pale sigil]

wget mansen_nudes.zip is most important command

@open tinsel do you as a noob know how to use the second terminal in the pic above

By looking st it

[open tinsel]

What?

[fair gull]

oh and i think top doesnt have pointer functionallity

[open tinsel]

I feel like I just been insulted

[pale sigil]

Right side @open tinsel do you know how to navigate that etc

[open tinsel]

Do I fuck lma

lmao

[pale sigil]

And the left with the key bindings gives you an easier understanding right?

How to navigate

Clue at the bottom

[open tinsel]

2013 was the last time I did any thingy techy, this just makes my brain fart

[pale sigil]

@proud nacelle that's a your side issue

[fair gull]

its the gateway ure connected to

https://discordjs.moe/5tz😽h🐬🐬h.gif

htop is def more newb friendly

and easier to use in general imo

no shortcuts i need to remember

[ashen spindle]

aight now I have logs

[pale sigil]

I legit didn't know htop allowed mouse interaction lmao

[fair gull]

read the man pages

see heres how

@ashen spindle use htop and u can click everything with ure mouse

now he knows

no shortcuts to explain

[ashen spindle]

wont install it

bc I probably never need it again

[fair gull]

u will

its an important tool

top and htop that is

both are important obv depends which u use

[ashen spindle]

I mean I dont even need to expand my terminal to see all the things running to top seems enough for me

[fair gull]

thats cause nothing is running lol

[ashen spindle]

ye

[fair gull]

clean server
i can see all processes so top is enough
wait till u start ts3

40 more processes

no reasons why

[ashen spindle]

ts3 is running...

[fair gull]

ts3 always had like 50 gazillion things running

i never understood why

thats why i stopped hosting ts3 servers for friends

well that and keeping cracked ts3 up to date was a shit job

[ashen spindle]

I needed a server for svn and host a website, then I realized I can put ts on it so we dont need to pay for it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

dont really plan to do much more with it

[fair gull]

i just have mine for random garbage by now

like

[ashen spindle]

also why did you need to crack it

[fair gull]

for multiple virtual servers

unlimited slots

etc

[ashen spindle]

the 32 slot variant is free without even applying or making an account

[fair gull]

32 slots for like 50 ts3 or so

ya

no

i wont run 50 instances either so virtual servers was the solution since thats how ts3 handles multiple servers

[ashen spindle]

if its for nonprofit you probably would've gotten a normal license if you had asked

[fair gull]

uh no

[ashen spindle]

at least thats how it is described on the website, never cared about it

[fair gull]

thats 2 virtual servers and 512 slots

i had 50

with around 1k slots each

and one server with 2 slots

for 0 reasons

[ashen spindle]

oh you actually needed that many slots? damn

[fair gull]

ya i hosted servers for fps game clans

and some wow guilds

of friends

i mean i took 0 dollars for it

cause why would i

[ashen spindle]

ya I think at most we had like 12 people lol

[fair gull]

the most i had was 930 or so

on 1 server

i think that was some eve online thing iirc

[ashen spindle]

okay yeah makes sense for that game lol

[fair gull]

was weird they always had like around 100 peeps at least

and they stored tons of pdfs and doc files in the channels

around 400gb or so

[ashen spindle]

yea the game gets a bit crazy

[fair gull]

i mean i never checked contents cause

well

their shit

not mine

[ashen spindle]

yes it is needed for that game

[fair gull]

they said its tactics, routes and shit like that

since i dont play eve idk

[ashen spindle]

like the #1 player of that game doesnt even play it anymore, he's just managing everything via forums etc.

it's massive

[fair gull]

ya im glad i shut down all the servers

not really

there was one dude

who uploaded like 50 zip files with cracked games

into 1 channel

like

why

since i closed it i lost so much traffic

now i only have like 20gb of traffic per month

instead of like 200-300

[ashen spindle]

oh one last thing, what's the command to remove apache?

[fair gull]

apt-get remove apache2

[ashen spindle]

well its inactive so dont thinkg I need to stop it?

and then do the remove?

k gonna try that in a couple days

thx guys

[fair gull]

im a helicopter not a guy

[ashen spindle]

[fair gull]

ok but do i start to feel more and more like a girl

[ashen spindle]

thx fellow totally living and breathing humans

I guess apache not running explains why I couldn't get it to change the directory for the index page last year lul

[fair gull]

last year

wot

[ashen spindle]

ye I set up my page like 8 months ago

dont even remember if apache was on it or if I did install apache assuming there was nothing like that on it lmao

[reef patrol]

Jeebus... it takes a lot of Google to find parts for an Original Xbox. The drive is busted, so I have to either buy a new IDE drive (lol), or hunt down a confirmed working IDE/SATA adaptor bracket (very hit and miss) and an IDE cable that is long af 😄

[fair gull]

uh

u know the drives need a certain key right?

to lock and unlock

[reef patrol]

I brought my OG Xbox out of storage to save it from leaky capacitor.

And I do have my EEPROM and HDKEY - Also dig out of storage from an old CD that barely read 😄

[fair gull]

why not

flash a new bios

to use hdds without key

and tbh just rip out the clock cap

its unnecessary

[reef patrol]

That requires more hardware.

Cap is gone 😄

[fair gull]

flashing the bios requires 0 hardware

u usually bridge a few points

and ure done

[reef patrol]

That is hardware - I don't have a soldering iron handy 😄

[fair gull]

sad then

i flashed my 1.0 xbox

[reef patrol]

Not really an issue tbh. I'm fine with softmod.

[fair gull]

its still a softmod if i remove the solder bridges

literally just that i have some more functions which i dont use tbh

mainly did it for no hdd key

[reef patrol]

Ehhh... debatable. Regardless - This is all about finding a new drive, not making it work. That part is thankfully sorted.

[fair gull]

i mean im using a 512gb samsung ssd in my xbox

[reef patrol]

Did consider SSD; but a 2TB HDD is just cheaper and more useful tbh.

[fair gull]

needs to be 2.5" tho

cause u most likely wont fit a 3.5" hdd with adapter

and you will need a special ide cable

well "special"

just an 80pin fine pitch one not the 40pin one

[reef patrol]

Yep and yep. And I found an adaptor that fits 3,5

[fair gull]

i mean like spacewise

in the console

[reef patrol]

Yes.-

[fair gull]

i somehow couldnt find any

and i checked like a ton of adapters

even trashed a few

[reef patrol]

Delock 61702 works.

And fits.

[fair gull]

have a similar one and mine wouldnt fit with a 3.5"

always had to bend the casing of the hdd holder a bit

[reef patrol]

I had this one suggested and confirmed by a few people on Reddit. Couldn't find the one most guides suggested, because it wasn't in EU

[fair gull]

what reddit tho

[reef patrol]

The one specifically for the Original Xbox. Since many of the OG Xbox forums have died.

[fair gull]

ah well i went to xboxdev discord

[reef patrol]

At any rate - Will see the day after tomorrow if everything fits. Ordered both adaptor and cable. Grabbing a random 2TB from work.

[fair gull]

ya

[reef patrol]

I also got a second Xbox out of storage - That one has never been modded iirc. So that's definitely going to get some modding.

[plush summit]

wtf

[sick creek]

Lmaooo

Not even the same pc in both pics

Hahahaha

11/10

[karmic grail]

MiniITX threadripper when?

[wheat plume]

28 core in a tiny PC???

That's not going to thermally shit at all /s

[plush summit]

watercooled might actualy make it possible

[latent mural]

Problem is fitting anything but the socket on the pcb

[still cave]

Anyone know where i can find a razer kraken bro

Im looking for one

[latent mural]

?

if you want to buy a razer headset

get a good one instead

[fair gull]

the kraken pro is more a toy for on the go

[latent mural]

you always find them in basically new condition too

[fair gull]

nothing id use for gaming

like i only use my pink kraken pro for music when travelling from and to work

at home id rather use good headphones

[latent mural]

how much are they anyways?

[fair gull]

not some 30€ garbage

https://www.amazon.de/Razer-Kraken-Aluminium-Kopfband-Inline-Fernbedienung-Gaming-Headset/dp/B0784SW98W/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=razer+kraken+pro&qid=1557223444&s=gateway&sr=8-6

the v2 are 60-90€

the v1 was 30

i bought like an orange and pink one both were 30€

[latent mural]

I currently use wired beyerdynmics in ears for ~30€

looking to upgrade though

not sure what atm

needs to cancel out noise very well though

[fair gull]

imma prob get dt970

was it 970?

[latent mural]

you mean 770?

cause the dt 970 looks like this

[fair gull]

770 yes

misremembered

[latent mural]

don't canel out enough for me

public transportation

is loud

either in ear or noise cancelling

audio quality is second in that case

tbh the galaxy buds look tempting

otherwise something like the bose qc 35

[fair gull]

im still between 770pro or 1770 pro

the 1770 has a detachable cable

[latent mural]

friend has a pair of dt1770

never uses them though

[fair gull]

thonkaS

[latent mural]

since his g933 "has better sound"

[fair gull]

i highly doubt that

[latent mural]

it doesn't

[fair gull]

prob more like his opAmp is shit

[latent mural]

I can't remember whathe exactly had

a asus soundcard

"the most expensive one"

and a fiio headphone amp

but even if

the g933 sounded worse than my 28€ dtx 910

directly conencted to my mobo

[solar hinge]

fiio headphone amps are expensive though

[latent mural]

he had the e10k

for ~70€

[fair gull]

thats pcheap

[latent mural]

I think it was his

[fair gull]

i mean id buy em off him for 100

[latent mural]

I currently have a Aune T1 SE Mk3

which is ok

looking into a replacement though

maybe a shiitstack

beieve me, he won't sell them

he's weird af

ever since he sold his 1080 sli setup he became weird

[fair gull]

thonkaS

[latent mural]

he btw still had 2 980tis because he never sold them

what dac/amp do you have btw?

[fair gull]

@latent mural none i first want to decide the gear

cant buy it rn anyway

cause new apartment remember

[latent mural]

ohh

ok

still not sure what to get

don't want an internal soundcard though

[fickle ore]

o2amp+02dac combo?

dont get anything usb

[latent mural]

that is usb

usb shouldn't make a difference though?

[fickle ore]

its not, w8 let me link you

[latent mural]

sure

do they have an european store

cause if not it's basically instantly a no from me

[fickle ore]

http://www.headnhifi.com/dac/o2-odac-combo

european, german ^^

http://www.headnhifi.com/dac/O2-ODAC-fully-modded

[latent mural]

perfect

I can only use the DAC part over USB though

otherwise it'S just an amp

[fickle ore]

huh?

[fair gull]

usb

[latent mural]

or do they convert the analogue signal to digital to convet it back

[fair gull]

no native XLR card

[fickle ore]

dacs have analog/digital converter

[latent mural]

yea

that's why you connect them over usb

[fickle ore]

noooo

[latent mural]

or another digital signal

like spdif

[fickle ore]

this cable.. forgot the connector type ffs

RCA

yea

use that

[latent mural]

then my mobo would do the dac part though

I could just get an amp

[fickle ore]

oh.. hmm

[latent mural]

that is exactly why I need a dac

[fickle ore]

that's something I never thought of.

I have internal PCIE soundcard as a dac (creative ZxR) and O2 amp via RCA

[latent mural]

yea

in that case it makes sense

don't want an internal card

[fickle ore]

me neither lol

but i dont want usb

[latent mural]

with a good dac it doesn't make a difference

and I'm looking into a shiit magni/modi combo

which uses spdif

[fickle ore]

no, but usb is not good for real time audio, and it has cpu overhead

actually

if you get o2dac+o2amp and use optical connector it will ignore your integrated soundcard?

[latent mural]

yea

it doesn't have optical though

[fickle ore]

lemme check

what the f

[latent mural]

and usb delay is not noticeable imo

[fickle ore]

is it an option to use o2amp with rca and use the integrated dac?

http://www.headnhifi.com/amplifiers/desktop-headphone-amplifiers/O2-desktop-amplifier

[latent mural]

no?

it would have to convert an analogue signal to digital to analogue

i can 100% guarantee you that it would make the quality worse

no reason to use the dac then

[fickle ore]

hm, problematic 😛

schiit magni 3/modi3 any good?

[latent mural]

aparently yes

haven't heard a bad thing about them

considering their price

they are ~250€ together

european store is kinda weird though

[fickle ore]

might buy that in the future then. Need to get rid of internal soundcard

[zenith mirage]

I need to work on my audio gear, but I it's never on top of my priorities

[latent mural]

what fiio do you have?

wat

[fickle ore]

where do you connect toslink on the modern motherboard?

oh there is?

Nice

😄

[latent mural]

my last couple already had one

[fickle ore]

ohh thanks gotta edit my wordfile, on what I need in my new pc

[latent mural]

tbh most good motherboards have one

[fickle ore]

doesnt hurt to make sure

why tube amp tho?

[latent mural]

how much did you pay?

found it for 300

[pale sigil]

I use a dac

Scarlette Pro

Got it dirt cheap also

Considering I'm getting a guitar I'm glad I got out now lol

[fair gull]

https://www.ebay.de/i/283451085941?chn=ps

[latent mural]

that orpheus is missing a lot

the whole amp isn't there

You can't even use it without

should look like this

?

ohh

uhh

idk

wouldn't a normal mixer work

or whatever the word is

[fair gull]

it would work

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiV8eXJgzys

thats a nice small one

not sure rn if it had xlr

[zenith mirage]

I just use the FiiO E10K and I kinda want an upgrade, but I have no idea about audio equipment

[latent mural]

would be weird without XLR

[pale sigil]

@digital cliff loads of dacs have xlr

[fair gull]

shit u right

[pale sigil]

Mine has xlr, guitar audio in and analog out and such

[fair gull]

imma prob get that goxlr myself

for my mic and headphones

[pale sigil]

I want to but snowball isn't xlr

And I couldn't find a converter

[zenith mirage]

Are you recording guitar audio into your computer or something?

[pale sigil]

Well when I get an electric one, if I enjoy it hell why not?

[zenith mirage]

Just get a nice regular amp, then record from that. Much more versatile

[pale sigil]

I guess :p

I'll send a pic of the acoustic guitar I'm picking up later

[fair gull]

just make it in fruityloops and dont even get any instrument

[pale sigil]

If all goes well I'll get an electric one later down the line

[zenith mirage]

Made off like a bandit with the left amp, right is nothing special

[fair gull]

@pale sigil pls learn countryroads first

[zenith mirage]

That's probably not the best song to start with :p

[fair gull]

it def is

[zenith mirage]

But aye go on

[pale sigil]

@fair gull corny

[zenith mirage]

I believe in you

Nah just learn the hook from wild thing

[fair gull]

i cant play any instrument besides my keyboard

[zenith mirage]

Three easy chords, and sounds nice

[ashen spindle]

pls learn through the fireflies and flames first

[pale sigil]

One song I've always wanted to play is hey there delilah

Idk why

[zenith mirage]

I think if you wanted to play it properly you'd need to do some fingerpicking

Which is fine if you're coordinated

Which basically means I cannot

[fair gull]

tbh the only thing i can actually play is my GH guitar

[zenith mirage]

Your what?

[fair gull]

guitarhero

= GH

[zenith mirage]

Ah right

I can't play guitar hero, I suck big time

I have too many instruments and not enough time

[fair gull]

another good song for beginners is TTFAF

u can prob get a ton of pussy with that

[zenith mirage]

Nah people just want to hear wonderwall

All the time

Never stop playing wonderwall

[fair gull]

the fuck is wonderwall

[zenith mirage]

😮

You haven't heard famous meme song wonderwall?!

Nah, joking but basically it's a song that's notorious for being overplayed by beginners

Well, not beginners necessarily, but people who bring a guitar to a party and try to show off

Those type of people

[fair gull]

ngl if i had any talents id try to show off aswell

but i dont go outside so i wouldnt

[zenith mirage]

Idk if I'd call playing wonderwall a talent

[fair gull]

i mean

playing a guitar

or any instrument

being an artist in any form

besides shitposting

like i have 0 talents

[zenith mirage]

I guess it depends how good you think you are, whether or not you can show off

[fair gull]

all i do is shitpost, try to enforce my opinion and be a dickhead

[zenith mirage]

I don't think I'm any good at playing the guitar so try not to play around people

Because its mainly just playing the same stuff over and over to practice, and nobody wants to hear that

[latent mural]

tbh a 3.5mm one will likely be just as good

with blue it's especially bad, afaik the nowball and the yeti have extrmely similar hardware

tbh I don't see why yhou should do that

and if you want it for something professional you should get a condenser mic etc

you need shielding etc

if you want it just for audio quality they usually are better

but you need sound shielding etc

too much clutter and stuff that blocks your view

for your keyboard etc

so it doesn't pick up everything

do you need that sound quality though?

because tbh that zalman mic for ~10€ is better than most headset mics and sounds perfectly fine for voicecalls etc

nah

it sounds much better than most headsets

it is truly better than most headset mics

I have a modmic

in audio quality it might be worse than the zalman

rip

is there really no good way?

I can't do it because of desk space

I need either headphone or on desk mic

?

apparently there is this black connector plate

and you can mount it with that

it even comes with the mic

you just need a bolt

oof

[fair gull]

easy fix make ur own plate

[latent mural]

tbh the yeti is overpriced

since it is just as good as the cheaper snowball

well

you can mount in on a boom arm

tbh why should you get a really expensive mic

you personally will never notice it

and idk if there is a "mic endgame"

true

tbh I'd get something comfortable instead

but a boom arm is way too big imo

takes up a lot of space

and you can clip a lav mic on your headphone cable

I have the cable going along the cable from my dac to my pc

that might be more of a problem

is for me rn tbh

not necessarily

you have too look at your preferences

and if comfort is above quality for a mic it is an upgrade

btw are there any updates on the ninox astrum?

[pale sigil]

@zenith mirage this man has some wonderful guitars

[still cave]

Shit

[wheat plume]

Woah

[pale sigil]

Pretty cool right?!?

[pale sigil]

i see why a pic is needed now

my finger hurts

[latent mural]

oof

be prepared for bloody fingers

[still cave]

oh trust me

you cant live without a pick

[foggy solstice]

Neither of those are guitars though.

[pale sigil]

i mean

they all somewhat do the same

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEVheHPYRtA

[zenith mirage]

Just wait until your fretting fingers start hurting

That's a right bitch when you're starting

One day your fingertips will feel nothing in the tips, and you'll be glad

[pale sigil]

BHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAH https://youtu.be/8gw0rXPMMPE

@wheat plume

[reef patrol]

App Windows Store

[chrome estuary]

wait this isn't an april fools joke

[ashen spindle]

windows store or github

[chrome estuary]

So I'm gonna be building a new desk here soon. It's gonna be 5'x5'x30". So it'll be sort of an L-Desk but more a square style. The desk will be 30 inches tall from floor to table top, will be 2 feet deep, and be completely open faced. The table top itself will be 3/4" plywood and i'm gonna stain it all cherry.

It's gonna fit my 43" TV, my two 27" monitors, the twooting, and a bunch of other assorted shit.

[wheat plume]

I noticed that already Callum

[plush summit]

thats fucking great

[wheat plume]

Xd

It looks pretty hype

[plush summit]

microsoft will ruin it anyway

[wheat plume]

So it is going to replace both powershell and commands prompt?

[plush summit]

its going to start deleting users files XD

[wheat plume]

Xd

And bricking devices if they have usb plugged in

[ashen spindle]

old cmd will still be around for legacy compability etc. for "decades" at least they said

[wheat plume]

O

[ashen spindle]

and if it's broken use an old version since it's all on git

[plush summit]

dam

[wheat plume]

Wait

Microsoft.... Putting their own code on Git??

[wheat plume]

I know they made the fucking calculator open source

[plush summit]

SHAAAAAAAAAAAME

how dare they use a meme

reminds me of that april fooks joke about microsoft going open source

its actualy happening whish is kinda funny

[wheat plume]

What's that

[ashen spindle]

I mean they obviously didn't buy github for no reason

don't see how they killed mojang

[wheat plume]

They didn't

Mojang are untouched in terms of development

But they do share ideas with the Microsoft controlled bedrock version

[plush summit]

they did

minecraft was a much impler sandbox game

and theyre turning it into an rpg

[wheat plume]

Yeah......

You still don't need to treat it like an rpg

The do wtf your want attitude is still intact

[plush summit]

but thats what the game is portraying

[wheat plume]

Pretty accurate

[ashen spindle]

that relates to them killing github how exactly?

I prefer the win10 model they have over having straight up different versions every couple years by a mile

mostly from a game perspective, makes it a lot easier for requirements etc.

yes but it's a lot more reasonable to expect an update of your OS to make sure your game works well/has all features enabled (see DXR) than requiring someone to do a fresh OS install

yea that thing confuses me to no end

still doesnt really make sense if you want people to go to 10

[wheat plume]

You are a man of the rolling release I see Quin

You would like Arch

:')

[ashen spindle]

nah I just like that it gives game devs a lot less restrictions for minimum requirements which leads to less stuff in the game at some points

[wheat plume]

Also windows 10 was made for the sole purpose of data collection

And they admitted that

[ashen spindle]

if your consumer base is split onto win xp, vista, 7 and 8 for example, you might still need to support xp so you can't make base features require something that only 7 and later support etc.

that doesnt solve anything?

oh nvm I misread

or not?

do you mean ship win7 stuff ontop of the game for win xp users?

okay lets make it simpler and use and example:

I make something with DXR/RTX as the core game mechanic. But my consumer base is with the vast majority on win vista or XP

so you cant get it to work

so you cant make it

sure let me do shit ton of more work or try to get microsoft to do that if I'm not a company as big as activison

good luck

yes and I said "my consumer base is with the vast majority on win vista or XP" as an example

because I dont know which version exactly added what besides dxr

okay but why do all the extra work if the current system just works?

okay but my argument is that the current system is better for games?

for generic users and basically every game dev this way is the best way in most aspects?

my point was simply that this way it creates less work for devs and thus better games for consumers

or people who cant make their own rendering engine and use unity/cry/unreal engine for example

sure, and I never cared about what should be or shouldnt be, simply what's the best practice in reality

dear god who would pay for the support staff you need with a system like that

poof mind changed

[wheat plume]

I am mentally unstable

That's for sure

[fair gull]

@wheat plume same dw about it

[karmic grail]

[latent mural]

HMMMM

WHAT COULD IT BE

btw, brother wants a new keeb, linear switch full size, wooting is sold out

wat do

and he doesn't need any special features

was thinking about a celeritas II, don't know if he wants rgb

[still cave]

ask him

[latent mural]

although his current main one is my old Attack X3, which is also only lid in red

he doesn't know shit about keyboards

[still cave]

get a mid budget one

[latent mural]

and want's to replace his rubberdome at work

I won't buy it for him

[still cave]

for office get a g413

[latent mural]

he'll pay for it

nah

[still cave]

the switches are really silent

plus they feel pretty good

[latent mural]

no romer g/gamma zulu whatever they are called

[still cave]

oof

[latent mural]

and it's 100€

[still cave]
