[karmic tiger]

depends on the condenser size

but the lil ones pop

[left heart]

relative to popcorn noise, that is :P

[fervent star]

just change + and - on a electrolyt condenser 😄

makes a lot of fun in lab

[left heart]

I've only heard stories of the stench of blown tantalums

[karmic tiger]

wait, capacitor, not condenser

fuck false friends from french

[fervent star]

colleague did it.... bang trauma, bloody face, shock, 2 weeks sick

sure... capacitor

[karmic tiger]

it's called "condensateur" in french, and when I don't know a word in english I tend to improvise XD

[fervent star]

but it was a huge capacitor

[uneven spear]

Tantalum tantrums?!

[fervent star]

in german it's called kondensator

[karmic tiger]

yeah it's the brits thet talk weird XD

[left heart]

well, they used to be called "condensers" in english too, so you weren't far off at all

[karmic tiger]

oh ouki XD

[fervent star]

as i'm a franconian german guy i understand french a bit (we were one state 500 years ago) 🙂

now franconia is part of bavaria

[karmic tiger]

it is?

I thought it was more in baden wurttemberg

[fervent star]

nooo

[karmic tiger]

oh ouki, idk why I thought it was more to the west

[tall vapor]

"condenser" is just an old timey term for a cap

nothing regional, really

iirc

[karmic tiger]

cookie is an old timey term for "absolute lil cutie"

[left heart]

heck, that's even why condenser mics are called that, they sense via capacitance lol

[tall vapor]

exactly!

[fervent star]

yes

[karmic tiger]

anyhoo I'll go schlep, take care yall and cya

[left heart]

gn pen!

[fervent star]

good night pen

i'll have a red wine and then do the same

1:19 am here

[uneven spear]

I thought condenser mics were called that cuz they were roughly the size of a can of soda, and sodas get condensation on them, and that's what the mics were named after. Entirely serious. Not a joke. Really. This was my real logic.

[sick cedar]

Id love to go to bed, but still on the train for the next 30min 😦

[fervent star]

oh you have trains running?

we have a general train strike here in germany at the moment

the train drivers want more money

[uneven spear]

Oh. I thought it was cuz of the train-DRM.

[fervent star]

also the farmer are in protest right now.... they don't want to pay more taxes

my second son also protests for that right now

today he went to school director (he's 14) and asked if he can join the protests on friday and don't go to school.... director agreed 😉

Democratic values ​​matter more than compulsory schooling

[uneven spear]

[fervent star]

i don't understand some people here.... they sometimes get crazy and angry in chat and use a non profit open source software .... nothing to pay for ... free community support (some companies would die for such a support) and are still unsatisfied

[hearty stirrup]

raging over answers they'd also get from paid companies just because the answer is from an open source project is what baffles me

[fervent star]

the people are mostly hobbyists, but have more knowledge than commercial supporters

[marsh helm]

otter has been talking for 6 hours

otter is soo sleepy

also costso canceled most of the orders i made so now the bed wont be there in time for the move in

💢

[full fern]

Oh no! I'm sorry. Hard day for otter ❤️

[fervent star]

otter needs a powerful dot 😉

[full fern]

🟠 boop

[opaque halo]

There is no other Dot but the Powerful one 🙂

[quick magnet]

sup sup

[fervent star]

remembers me on my childhood in the 80s

in germany there also was a powerful dot moving, let me see .....

1:15 minutes.... there it is 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jHtWezZJNY&ab_channel=RetroTV20

that were effects!!!!

😄

i was 5 years old and i still remember

[full fern]

OMG, that is so cool! I didn't know there was another dot that was powerful anywhere in the world! hahaha Thanks!

My name was coined from this Dot

[fervent star]

well it really was just a dot

[full fern]

So cute!

[fervent star]

i always tried to reproduce it in my room when i was a child, but i failed

[full fern]

I would have tried too!

[dawn fossil]

Helllloooooooooooo nurse

[fervent star]

now i know how they did it

i met the dot inventor 10 years ago at the cinema and tv congress

he's 86 years old now

[full fern]

Cool! Don't hold out on us. Ya gotta share how it was done

[fervent star]

they took a sererate camera to record a screen with a 8 bit computer simulation .... that was quite innovative in 1981 and overlayed it on a analogue video mixer

extremely expensive production for that time

the dot had to make 25FPS

[full fern]

Wow! That's a lot of effort for a show

Good on them

[fervent star]

i showed it to my 8yo son and he said .... this is totally lame 😉

[full fern]

LOL

[fervent star]

also the old captain future animes

i sometimes use the old theme as an intro for a heavy metal radio show

but what he really likes is that old retro hdmi stick i just bought

super mario with 8 bit graphics still makes fun to play

i played it on a 12" tube TV and he can play it on a 200" laser beamer now

[full fern]

So many great games to share! What a lovely idea

[fervent star]

but he still loves FA2024 from EA Sports or just youtube vids

on ps4

[terse helm]

aw man I loved animaniacs

… no, finger PRINTS!

[full fern]

Bwahahahaha. The freaking greatest dirty joke on a cartoon

[still turret]

sigh, stupid resolve saying media offline

buncha garbo.

and handbrake thinks my hevc 1080p60fps file is h264 1080p30fps

reeeeee

[oak folio]

Does anyone have a mic that can help me with my donation alerts from OWN3D are working but all the other ones are

and help me set up my stream

[dawn fossil]

We don’t provide support over voice calls

[oak folio]

Okay thats fine

Just in need of help

[dawn fossil]

You’ll be wanting a support channel, like #windows-support

[oak folio]

Thank you

[dawn fossil]

No probs

[steep kite]

man gattaca is a masterpiece of a movie

i forgot how good it is

underrated, really

[visual kindle]

I made a video with my friend Tomizdumb and I played lethal company
It was just me and him playing normaly BUT the video is super good

I need video title ideas

[dawn fossil]

"Playing Lethal Company with Tomizdumb"

^ descriptive

[visual kindle]

something catchy

[dawn fossil]

"Playing Lethal Company and going fishing with butterfly nets full of magnets with Tomizdumb"

^ lots of catchy stuff in that title

[visual kindle]

XD wut

[prisma dove]

the magnets are a nice touch.

[full fern]

Gotta arouse curiosity in the potential viewers. What kinda wild stuff are they gonna see? Hook em with something strong.

[steep kite]

needs some more all caps and punctuation

[full fern]

(like a magnet)

[steep kite]

playing lethal company WITH TOMIZDUMB???? butterfly nets WITH MAGNETS?!??!?!

[prisma dove]

magnetic hook

[visual kindle]

hmm well It is all unusuall and I animate little secti-
I have a part where my lifesupport was cut off

ima get a title based off that

I animated it

any idea how I can make my video about my life support getting cut off

[full fern]

<Something good was happening> and THEN I lost life support

[steep kite]

!?!?!?!??!?!

[full fern]

Or put "i lost life support" in the thumb

I'm working on being clickbaity lately

[prisma dove]

I lost life support... But I got better. Stay tuned to find out how you can get better too!

[visual kindle]

lol it's gameplay not a tutorial :D

[prisma dove]

No, it's a funny video, or however you want to portray it.

[visual kindle]

yup

[prisma dove]

so it could be a funny title

[north wind]

Jesus I need a vacation

[dawn fossil]

Ok…

Glad you joined the server to tell us that 😅

[uneven spear]

I'm so amused that the suggestions y'all gave are like, weirdly legit. 15 years ago that'd never have worked.

[dawn fossil]

What suggestion was that?

Oh, the clickbait titles

[uneven spear]

Yes.

[dawn fossil]

Take me back to the days before Mr Beast's stupid faux-screaming face kept showing up

Or anybody's stupid faux-screaming face

[uneven spear]

My face isn't fake. There's noise associated with it.

[brazen thunder]

is the noise kmerp5?

This is now officially on-topic and solicited. Thank you for allowing me to legally post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ8RpW1PCgI ... XD

[brazen thunder]

clever dragon

[uneven spear]

It slaps though, right? The music? Watch for at least three "loops". The track's actually like two and a half minutes.

[brazen thunder]

hold on turning the volume to 5% before it plays in my headphones

this is precisely what i expected

[uneven spear]

XDDDD

[brazen thunder]

also need to make @karmic tiger suffer 🙂

[marsh helm]

T__T since costco canceled the bed order ive spent 6 hours trying to find some replacement

[brazen thunder]

also - don't make hot sauce without gloves. Your hands end up hurting. I continue to not learn this lesson

[marsh helm]

right when i was about to give up i found something

[brazen thunder]

heck yeah otters

[marsh helm]

it also includes setup for $40 more

that thing is 100 lbs

i just want to be a good son and get my moms and dads new apartment ready

[dawn fossil]

I mean this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VRKJthNmWw

[marsh helm]

costco said we were giving them too much money and canceled 3 orders.....

[dawn fossil]

That's nice of them. How thoughtful.

[marsh helm]

and now i cant use that credit card till the holds go off it...

costco makes 90% of their money from subs so buying things from them mostly dosnt make them much

[uneven spear]

o_o This, emotionally, hits so close to how I feel actually being around people. My synestesia isn't always fun. I don't look at people's faces. <w<'

[dawn fossil]

Interesting

[marsh helm]

feel free to rawr if you want something

[dawn fossil]

My hubby has synæsthesia

[marsh helm]

i wonder what the word otter brings up

[dawn fossil]

He associates tastes with colours, and I've learnt what those colours are so I know what he's talking about

[uneven spear]

I have that too, but very minor. It's a trip. o.=.o. It's also the only way I can taste things. <w<'

[marsh helm]

wat

you dont taste when you eat?

[uneven spear]

I'm almost fully anosmic. Without the ability to smell, basically all flavor goes away, owo.

[marsh helm]

😮

can you feel spice?

like when you eat hot stuff?

[hearty stirrup]

my sister has no sense of smell due to nerve damage

caused by a TBI at the age of 6

[smoky rapids]

Can't smell farts..... gg. 😐

[uneven spear]

Yes. Feel only, not taste.

[uneven spear]

I can smell those. The few things that I can smell, are all rather disgusting. <w<'

[marsh helm]

do you like pancakes?

[dawn fossil]

iirc Kachin, since you don't taste food as others do, you're more a fan of texture

I expect a lot of normally delicious foods feel really weird in the mouth and you don't have the otherwise pleasant taste to defeat that odd mouthfeel

[smoky rapids]

Time to send Surströmming

[uneven spear]

No, owo.

[uneven spear]

Quite.

[marsh helm]

what is your favorite breakfast dish?

[dawn fossil]

The dragon's keepers wouldn't appreciate a can of surströmming in their den xD

[uneven spear]

The only thing I can safely eat: Basmati rice and beef.

[marsh helm]

i love basmati

[terse helm]

I love beef

[uneven spear]

I have questions.

[terse helm]

"can tehbasshunter be removed?"

[dawn fossil]

gdi

All this talk of food, I'm hungry now

My Discord has been doing this every so often. Such fun.

[karmic tiger]

oh don't worry, I knew of it already XD

[wise bay]

It's Warchmap's fault.

[dawn fossil]

haha

Or rather, it's tluaf s'pamhcraW

[near kraken]

Hey will OBS recording in the background cause pc performance issues?

[dawn fossil]

That's a question for a support channel :)

[near kraken]

O

what will it be under

windows support maybe?

[wise bay]

If you need help or have questions about OBS, check out our #support-portal first!

[dawn fossil]

Well, if you use Windows, yeah.

No good asking in there if you use a Mac or Linux 😄

[near kraken]

True that

ty

[dawn fossil]

np

[terse helm]

that's weird I would expect it to look like this

[marsh helm]

using lightmode hisssss

💢

[dawn fossil]

Light mode is right mode

[dawn fossil]

Beautiful

[terse helm]

that's definitely not right

[uneven spear]

Yeah, that's pretty weird. The colors are backwards, o3o.

[zealous mirage]

australian mode

[terse helm]

close, new zealand mode

[zealous mirage]

lol 🙂

[vernal current]

anyone have a subscription to the expansion pack for nintendo online?

i think it unlocks N64 and GBA games right? anything else im missing?

[dawn fossil]

Mega Drive, Animal Crossing expansion. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion

[vernal current]

I used to be able to place arrows and signs in adobe acrobat reader, but after updating it to a new version, I have no idea where the buttons to do that anymore

anyone know what im talking about?

is it under edit?

[livid plover]

sounds likely

[vernal current]

ah i see it now

[warm glacier]

Hello all, been a while.

[opaque halo]

Hey there Argo

[warm glacier]

Hey Bone, how are you doing?

[opaque halo]

Doing good. The normal WFH and hanging out

[warm glacier]

Sounds fun! :D

I am off work today

[opaque halo]

NICE!!

[warm glacier]

I switched to 4/10 hour days so I have an extra day off during the week

[karmic tiger]

argowo 💜

[warm glacier]

Hey Pen! How are you doing?

[karmic tiger]

not unwell

you?

[warm glacier]

That is good. I am ok haha, just waking up, or well trying too at least.

[karmic tiger]

💜

hope your day'll be good

[full fern]

Nice to see you, Argo!

[warm glacier]

It is off to a good start. The only thing that would make it better is alcohol haha. :p I am just to lazy to go and get some, plus it is -6 F soo... I am good on leaving lol

Hey Dot! Nice to see you too! :D

[full fern]

Brrr. I hope you can stay warm and cozy!

[warm glacier]

Yeah, though this year I have minimal snow for now, seems odd.

[full fern]

We're having a drier than usual winter. Supposed to he a snowpocalypse this weekend (or not, depending on which weather org you are listening to 😅)

[warm glacier]

Yeah, it seems the weather is screwed for everyone right now it seems. Everything I here from people makes it seems like it isn't the norm for them

[full fern]

For sure. I guess the new norm is "not normal"

[warm glacier]

That is very true haha

[karmic tiger]

oh dear lord

I checked on the streams I was lurking on and one of them raided another channel with is apparently a 24/7 AI jesus that answers (very very poorly) to the chat

[amber sparrow]

Yes my child, you have sinned and will burn for all of eternity

[halcyon sigil]

Anyone else nnotice that you can now stream your screen on discord with audio?

I was very confused for a second.

[tall vapor]

has been doable on windows&mac for years, iirc

[amber sparrow]

Nah pretty new

Though, I guess if it could be done in 2023, and now 2024, years would be accurate

[tall vapor]

was it per application audio capture previously?

cause I'm sure that mac&win had screenshare audio for quite some time

[amber sparrow]

Per app and was/is kinda jank

[tall vapor]

Ah, I see

Yeah well

maybe while they're already at it they could look into getting their stuff working on all their supported platforms, I suppose

[amber sparrow]

Nah, Linux can wait. Linux users should be used to that by now

[tall vapor]

We don't even have the janky capture

[amber sparrow]

Well you don't have the jank windows api

[tall vapor]

we do have pipewire, though

[amber sparrow]

I stand by what I said ha

[tall vapor]

I mean yes

we don't have the windows jank api

well

we do

in proton/wine

At this point it wouldn't even surprise me if Valve makes it possible to run discord with working screenshare and screenshare audio in proton before discord fixes their linux client

[marsh helm]

my god

😭

[terse helm]

mac had that for a while already

[cunning pine]

anybody know if the windowed projector preview size can be predefined and locked into place at all? Perhaps a plugin that could do that
Doing discord capture to share capture card of a source that is 1280x960 and would like there to not be any scaling and would like to not have to manually size it using another thing on my desktop of the same size to makethe window sizes match every time I load OBS and enable the projector.

I'm not digging anything up right now about it

nevermind

[terse helm]

nope

[cunning pine]

a third round using DuckDuckGo seemingly got me one result. fucking SEO sucks these days man.

nevermind the nevermind. it was a request not an instruction.

[terse helm]

yep

[cunning pine]

normally I would say I don't need to bother and be using virtual cam, but with this particular group I hang out with in VC in another server, I would prefer to give them the option of tuning in as well as the option of controlling if they want to hear game audio and how loud.
For now I guess I just have to keep manually sizing the window lol.

[terse helm]

yeah

you can at least use fit window to content to get rid of black bars

[karmic tiger]

with websocket, you can

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket/blob/master/docs/generated/protocol.md#openvideomixprojector

[cunning pine]

wish I knew the first thing about websocket

[karmic tiger]

time to learn!!!!

[cunning pine]

is it even something you click on in OBS or does it require me to use some other thing somewhere else like my phone?

[terse helm]

it requires…

programming

[karmic tiger]

not necessarily

if you're a complete novice, easiest is probably to use adv-ss to send the websocket request

[terse helm]

btw if you happen to only be using obs to get the capture card shared into discord, discord supports that natively now

[karmic tiger]

I'll do some testing and show you how to setup adv-ss for that when I get it right

[cunning pine]

👀

I need to look for this option now lol

[amber sparrow]

Yes. Added a few months back

[amber sparrow]

No ass/websocket shenanigans required

[karmic tiger]

👍 if I don't have to figure out how to send window geometry to websocket, fine by me lmao

[terse helm]

ass shenanigans still optional

[amber sparrow]

Ass shenanigans always optional

[cunning pine]

nevermind

it's not good enough

[terse helm]

?

[amber sparrow]

¿Por que?

[cunning pine]

doesn't let me choose resolution I want. only predefined three res options of 720, 1080, and 1440

not configurable enough. I need to be able to do 1280x960

[terse helm]

that's a weird res

[cunning pine]

by default this thing wants to be 1920x1080 and I can't let that happen.

it's not weird. it's 4:3

[terse helm]

I can see how that wouldn't be natively supported

well, how they wouldn't put it in the ui

[tall vapor]

if ya send 4:3 anyways it'll just be letterboxed, no?

[terse helm]

the question tbh is if doing a screenshare of a window that isn't a predefined size works as if you want it?

[cunning pine]

OBS has the option lol

[karmic tiger]

I'll do you the websocket thing, but do you mind if I do it, like, this weekend? I'm kinda spent rn

[civic quarry]

tbf nowadays i would consider 4:3 weird.

[amber sparrow]

Ur weird

👀

[cunning pine]

not when you want to share capture of old games

[tall vapor]

this is screenshare. There to share your screen with friends. Not obs

[civic quarry]

im am curious how it looks if you select one of the predefined options.

[tall vapor]

just set the highest 16:9 (maybe lower depending on bandwith) and letterbox yer old game in. It's fine.

discord screenshare quality ain't that great to begin with

so like

Yer completely out of scope here 😅

[cunning pine]

I'm just going to keep manually sizing the projector and using source option for screenshare

[civic quarry]

i thought projector windows were not recognized anymore

[cunning pine]

websockets and adv-ss setups just feel like more work than it's worth lol

what you mean by "not recognized"?

I can select it as an application to screenshare in Discord just fine

then I just set the source in audio mixer to monitor and output and I get audio.

[civic quarry]

for now i guess, seeing reports daily now that you cannot #windows-support message

discord made a change.

[cunning pine]

that's odd

I was doing it fine last night

[terse helm]

works for me

[civic quarry]

well, did you guys read the message i linked?

[amber sparrow]

It gets it just fine the first time I think

And if you close the projector and try to recapture shenanigans happen

But there is some weirdness for sure

[terse helm]

that's a different thing

[civic quarry]

it certainly will stop working for all soon but i'm not sure if OBS needs to make a change, QT needs to make a change, or discord needs to make a change.

[cunning pine]

lol. so to summarize what dude is saying, it's only an issue if you aren't using Stable.
Could be they are taking that away soon or it's just broken in anything but stable and will be fixed at some point.

[amber sparrow]

Discord broke some stuffs trying to fix other stuffs

[terse helm]

oh yeah that's something they broke recently

but if you enable the advanced technology it works

but then you get the thing matty mentioned instead, but you can fix that by temporarily disabling the preview

[amber sparrow]

Yea. Discord jank and we have a scape goat that's been active in encoding channel

[karmic tiger]

discord, lmao
#encoding-talk message

[civic quarry]

still, for nearly all use cases i think it makes more sense to share the virtual camera as a capture card and monitor the sources you want heard to VB cable to select as your audio device there.

[cunning pine]

for now I am on stable, and I don't have any issues so I will cross that bridge if and when I get to it

[terse helm]

no that doesn't make sense at all

for most use cases

unless you're basically a broadcasting station and you want to broadcast your final mix

[civic quarry]

what is the way you are suggesting then Squid?

[karmic tiger]

getting offline and touching grass

[civic quarry]

^

[amber sparrow]

Touching grass is nice. I prefer it to touching pools

[terse helm]

my suggestion is to use the advanced technology option to screenshare a projector (windowed or fullscreen)

[cunning pine]

yeah, forcing people to have to watch and forcing game audio onto them when we are all hanging out in a VC is kind of not cool.

If you are expressly streaming and people are in VC with you expressly to watch your stream then virtualcam makes total sense and is fine.
Otherwise it's not.

[terse helm]

you'll still need to monitor audio sources

[civic quarry]

yes and people often complain that they are monitoring sources and now hearing double.

[karmic tiger]

"Babe, what do you mean 'Obs', 'discord', 'streaming', this is 2000, we were watching the new year ball drop and you hit your head"

[terse helm]

that problem exists in both situations, but if you do it the way I suggest your stream audio is separately controllable and not subject to discord's voice processing

[civic quarry]

no you are misunderstanding.

[terse helm]

no I'm not

[cunning pine]

gottdammit

[civic quarry]

you are not setting VB cable as your input device in discord

[terse helm]

I'm suggesting why that way is better

[karmic tiger]

ha get fucked pengwen

[civic quarry]

you select it as the audio device when you share

[terse helm]

this is when you share a capture card

[civic quarry]

yes

[terse helm]

sadly you can't select an audio device to share when you share an app window

it just captures that app audio instead

[civic quarry]

you select OBS virtual camera as the capture card (unless something has changed here too)

[cunning pine]

This is all I could think of a moment ago

[terse helm]

oh I see I misread your way earlier suggestion

yeah that could work

[amber sparrow]

Bad squid

[terse helm]

go away

[amber sparrow]

Jumping to unjustified conclusions

[civic quarry]

yeah, it eliminates the "double audio" problem for most

i am not just making blind suggestions, i have helped people set this up all of the suggested ways many times.

[terse helm]

tbh monitoring to vb cable would also do that for sharing an app

[amber sparrow]

Too bad that nvidia gpu couldn't do the thinking and reading for you

[civic quarry]

yes but then we are only talking about the difference of sharing a window vs. sharing the virtual cam and i would still say that not having to open an extra window is better in that case.

[terse helm]

yeah

honestly

this feature is new and I haven't used it yet

so that wasn't on my mind

[karmic tiger]

anyways @cunning pine if you still want to do it witha projector, ping me this weekend

[terse helm]

I've always had to do it the share-a-projector-way

[amber sparrow]

Get to using. SLACKER!

[terse helm]

so the share-the-vcam thing didn't register when you said that and I thought you meant to set your camera to the vcam

[civic quarry]

#off-topic message
i tried to tell you that you were misunderstanding 😄

[amber sparrow]

Mitchell tends to choose what he says with thought

[terse helm]

which is a bad way to do it but how people have been recommending to do it before

[amber sparrow]

And it bugs me

Because he is usually accurate

[cunning pine]

we'll see. it's just me wanting to be extra lazy and not spend the 10 seconds it takes to resize it using a template.
First world problems and all that.

[civic quarry]

usually

[terse helm]

was the guide updated?

I forget the command for it

[civic quarry]

not yet.

[karmic tiger]

yeah, and I'm all about doing cool shit to enable people's lazyness, just that today I'm spent, but I'll do it this we

[amber sparrow]

Which is why I said "tends to" vs "always" haha

Semantics

They are important

[terse helm]

I thought you were saying I was misunderstanding the double audio problem

[civic quarry]

a misunderstanding of a misunderstanding even 😮

[terse helm]

general miscommunication

o7

[amber sparrow]

Misunderception

I don't wanna do any actual work today(and mostly havent). It's wet and cold. Not ideal. Need to slack off for another hour or so then I can call my day

[civic quarry]

i cannot give any more details then this but my work is absolutely insane right now.... i have been working 12+ hour days since the 1st

[terse helm]

do you work in water management in western europe

[civic quarry]

lol i do not

[amber sparrow]

I've been averaging around 11.5hr days(with a couple 14s thrown in) so hasn't been terrible....yet

As we warm up in March it'll go bonkers

But I weighed myself last night and keeping beer to weekends/no fast food, down 6lbs already

Now I gotta gradually sprinkle in some dang exercise

[karmic tiger]

🫂

courage

[brazen thunder]

I know this feel. My body and mind have begun their revolt at doing it since early Dec

[civic quarry]

i don't mind the long hours too much, i generally enjoy my work nowadays. but the current environment is very very high stress so its pretty taxing at the moment.

[amber sparrow]

You making sure to thoroughly relax in your down time?

[civic quarry]

i havent had much down time. even the messages i type in here are often just short moments where i am waiting on something to load.

but any real down time i get just goes to flight sim haha

[amber sparrow]

That's understandable. I remember when I was really getting into my career, I went a little too hard for a little too long. Was like 95 hr weeks for 2 years straight. Really whipped my ass

More often than not was doing something work related, even if not going in to work, 7 days a week

[brazen thunder]

As for mine, it is kind of unavoidable right now, but I've definitely started talks with supers about how to avoid this situation, since it was avoidable

[smoky rapids]

https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/11/24034705/discord-layoffs-17-percent-employees

[terse helm]

170 people isn't the worst layoff at least

[still turret]

17% total workforce is pretty huge.

[steep kite]

another one where i'm amazed at how many people the company is employing in the first place

[terse helm]

yeah for the company it's huge but it's not like amazon which laid off thousands in one go

tens of thousands I think even?

[cunning pine]

So I've done some testing with Discord's built in capture card option.
It doesn't play nice at anything more than 720p at least not with my capture card lol

it's alright for the most part, seems like a pretty decent straight forward option if the highest and crispiest resolution/quality isn't your priority.

[terse helm]

or you use a normal resolution

[cunning pine]

[dawn fossil]

Man, I'm glad MS didn't acquire Discord

Else it'd be called Teams by now already 🤔

[terse helm]

it'd be called XBox Teams for Gamers

I forget is that a real thing that was potentially happening or was it just rumourmilling?

[dawn fossil]

WSJ was reporting it as happening and then not happening

[quick magnet]

Xbox teams for gamers with gamepass

[livid plover]

Instructions unclear, x-wing stuck nose first in front yards

[vernal current]

im using the new update for acrobat reader and man why did they have to update it?

im now relearning where everything used to be

[livid plover]

cuz adobe, they do that

[vernal current]

everyone does

but this isnt some minor update

a LOT changed in the UI

im sure its better, i just need to use it more and get used to it

[amber sparrow]

Major UI changes are always painful til ya get used to it

Much like this stupid discord version on Android

[vernal current]

the problem is i dont use it daily for me to relearn things quickly

but i agree with you

[livid plover]

reinstall older version and prevent/break the auto updater?

[vernal current]

lol its fine

[livid plover]

altho that's a jank solution

[vernal current]

the update itself is not bad

i just need to relearn where things are again

i noticed there are a lot of collapasable menus now

thats whats getting me

i might be looking at the right place, but need to expand the menu to see the thing i need

[civic quarry]

SON OF A BTICH

ok bye

[proper valve]

I wonder what that was about

[prisma dove]

maybe wrong server

[terse helm]

so if I understand correctly

they joined

said that

then left

… some people are just unstable

[livid plover]

they really made ya'll wonder, it's practically modern art

[prisma dove]

impulsive

[livid plover]

thought provocative

[lapis sky]

Not sure if this is the right spot for this, but looking for spec recommendations on a secondary pc dedicated for streaming only. Currently on a 1 pc setup and looking to buy something used to start, so wasn’t sure how low I could go spec wise

[terse helm]

for just streaming you can go pretty low if you add an nvidia rtx gpu of any type

[livid plover]

Something with a gtx1660 and up would be a good starting point to have the good nvidia encoder yes

[terse helm]

so if you get like a used gaming pc you're pretty much set

[karmic tiger]

I mean if it's a streaming-only pc, could go with x264

[terse helm]

if you can swing a lower-end 40 series that'd be even better for the av1 encoding

[lapis sky]

I guess that was my question. I’m seeing a ton of 1660s at a reasonable price with like a Ryzen 5 super cpu. Really trying not to break the bank to start. Not sure if it would handle 1080 on YouTube

[terse helm]

you can go x264 too but then you'll need a higher-end cpu

[terse helm]

it would

[karmic tiger]

if it does only one encode, not really

[lapis sky]

I have a 3080 and Ryzen 5900x for my single setup, and use nvenc, so I don’t mind using nvenc on the stream pc.

[terse helm]

I mean higher end as in my intel i7-3770 and 4770s don't cut it for 1080p x264

unless maybe I set them to much lower quality than even pre-turing nvenc

[livid plover]

Yeah i think you'd be spending more for a cpu encoding rig vs just turing nvenc in a lot of cases

[karmic tiger]

yeah, I wouldn't really cann third gen intel "hgh end"

not nowdays

[lapis sky]

Sp 1660 may work with nvenc? Don’t wanna spend $400 and realize quality is garbage lol

[terse helm]

that's fair but I meant it in terms of spending

[livid plover]

Same encoding quality as your 3080

[terse helm]

you can't get away with one of those mobile cpus for that

[terse helm]

the 1660 (and some 1650s) up until the 3090 have basically the exact same encoding hardware

[lapis sky]

Wow really? Even a gtx? Interesting

Well alright then

[terse helm]

yeah the gtx 16 series is an rtx 20 series but without the ray tracing stuff

the rest is basically identical

[livid plover]

Yeah. Only the 1650 has a worse encoder, everything else above that is the same for h264

[karmic tiger]

I would tend to think a cpu capable of doing one x264 encode session is cheaper than a gtx 1660

[lapis sky]

Oh gotcha. Well obs isn’t using ray tracing so I guess that’s a win

[terse helm]

and the 1650 afaik still out-encodes the parscal one?

[livid plover]

Same encoder per nvidia

[terse helm]

@karmic tiger maybe? in any case I think at the lower end you're better off with nvenc

[karmic tiger]

why?

[terse helm]

@livid plover I thought it had the volta one?

because you're offloading the resource-intensive, time-sensitive thing to dedicated hardware so you have a lower chance of encoding being bogged down by anything else going on on the pc

[karmic tiger]

ok, but if there's nothing else going on on the pc?

[terse helm]

there's never nothing else going on on a pc

[lapis sky]

Yea it would only be for OBS using a capture card, cam, and discord

[karmic tiger]

nothing else capable of bogging down

[terse helm]

hard disagree

windows is gonna randomly download an update or something

[karmic tiger]

don't run windows

[terse helm]

and your barely-capable-of-handling-the-encode cpu is going to melt

[karmic tiger]

and even then, downloading an update isn't a cpu tax enough to hamper one 1080p encode on anything after 8th 9th gen

[livid plover]

Matching nvenc in x264 is what, medium-slow territory?

[terse helm]

much lower chance of that happening if you use hardware encoding

@livid plover ya

[karmic tiger]

ok, but I fail to see the point of having a second pc then

cause what's the advantage over encoding off the 3080

[terse helm]

there are more benefits two two-pc setups than just the encoding offload

[karmic tiger]

and more inconvenients too

[terse helm]

esp. if you're doing more resource-intensive things in your stream like using more, higher res cameras

yes there's downsides to it too

but @lapis sky has made that choice for themselves I don't really see the need to tell them otherwise

[karmic tiger]

I'm not

[terse helm]

lots of people here do way overkill stream things just because it's fun

[hearty stirrup]

in that range assuming 20-series class

[terse helm]

so I assume they have some sort of thing that they feel would be helped by having a second pc to offload the streaming to, and they think is worth it to pay the money and deal with the extra complexity for

[open rune]

I'm not sure "don't use this encoder because Windows updates might run" is a compelling argument

[terse helm]

@sap\

oop

@open rune that's not what I said

[karmic tiger]

yah, all I'm saying is probs better quality for lower price by just buying a cpu and skipping the dgpu

[terse helm]

I said at the lower budget-end I believe you'll have a better time using nvenc

[lapis sky]

Here’s the main reason, I lose about 40 fps from running OBS with nvenc at the moment. And twice in the last year and half (not many) but I’ve had a crash and had to restart the pc which in turns kills the stream. So I figured I’d look into low end options. Not trying to spend 2k on a secondary pc lol

[terse helm]

if you're willing to throw a 14900K at it by all means

[karmic tiger]

lmao

you don't need that to get a decent and reliable software encode

[lapis sky]

Just thought I’d see what I could get away with. I don’t mind the single pc setup, just have a lot running on it at once, so thought maybe offload some stuff if possible

[open rune]

Losing 40 frames out of how many total

Two PC setup is kind of a pain in the ass despite being novel

[lapis sky]

Plus there’s no way I could even think of multi streaming on a single setup

[karmic tiger]

I'm on a i5-11400H and I havee zero issue running x264 at veryslow

[terse helm]

good for you

[lapis sky]

I do appreciate the input tho and recommendations

Didn’t mean to make the parents fight tho lol

[open rune]

With the right source content my 9900k would get pushed with slow preset at 864p but it held up okay

[terse helm]

dw apparently penwy is firmly on team cpu encoding and I'm firmly on team hardware

[open rune]

It's always situational

[karmic tiger]

no, I just think you're quite overexaggerating the cost of x264 encoding

[open rune]

No need to be snippy

[karmic tiger]

my apologies if I have been

[terse helm]

no one is being snippy

[civic quarry]

I HAVE A QUESTION

WHO IS GOOD AT ANIMATING

IN 3D

[amber sparrow]

And a stuck caps lock key too it seems 😉

[civic quarry]

im mad because some im not gonna say the bad word but they are just lazy to animate for me\

[amber sparrow]

Were you paying them?

[civic quarry]

i was trying too

and guess what they did

THEY DECILNED THE REQUEST

[amber sparrow]

I mean, that's probably their right

Have you tried commissioning someone on fiverr?

[civic quarry]

they said they cant animate in 3D and blah blah blah

[amber sparrow]

So would you rather they take your money and deliver something you didn't want?

[civic quarry]

no

i need a steam animator

[amber sparrow]

Sounds like they did the right thing vs being lazy

[civic quarry]

i need a animator that like has steam

[amber sparrow]

Well this isn't really a marketplace/I need to hire someone server

Might hit up fiverr

[civic quarry]

i dont know anyone from fiverr

[livid plover]

that's what they're trying to fix, by selling you their services

[fervent star]

depends on the video codec you wanna stream... 1660 works fine on H264 and H265

[stoic kernel]

what exactly is a steam animator?

[karmic tiger]

someone that animates steam

for example, a flying scotsman

[livid plover]

someone that knows source animator possibly

or just any animator that does 3d and has a steam account

[silver fable]

Mmm... BBQ. Mine is the closest.

[karmic tiger]

ooo looks gud

bbq mac&cheese?

[silver fable]

Yup, and coleslaw.

[karmic tiger]

noice, have a good monch

[silver fable]

I got the General Patton. Mom got the Dixie V, lean.

[amber sparrow]

Brisket may be one of the best foods on the whole damn planet

[amber sparrow]

Wrong server if that's your idea of food

[karmic tiger]

that's bridget from guilty gear and there's a persistent meme of mispelling her name brisket

but, on the topic of cannibalism....

[amber sparrow]

Don't do it Hannibal

[wanton coral]

By that logic it sounds like you're too lazy to do it yourself

[uneven spear]

I think Fenrir might say "don't instigate".

Sapiens did you see parkmyspaceship?

[open rune]

I haven't seen anything, I am in Bakersfield for work all this week and weekend 😞

I did see the ping though

[uneven spear]

[proper valve]

Probably testing out the chat filter after realizing he could say that he left for reasons unknown

[fervent star]

there is a non profit software... fuck ... so much support for free

comfortable world

push everything into peoples asses

[karmic tiger]

medically, that's hardly recommended

[fervent star]

no use darwin instead

the good survive

[tall vapor]

I don't have a mac, so using darwin doesn't make sense

[fervent star]

see...

[karmic tiger]

You do not understand the first thing about evolution theory. You saying that is enough to prove that you do not even understand darwin's writings, which are outdated by 150 years of research on evolution theory.
Please do not substitute entirely uneducated conception of what evolution is with actual darwinism, or evolution theory at large.

[fervent star]

well i'm drunk, but i do 1st 2nd and 3rd level support for 15 years now

give me an example for i'm wrong

[karmic tiger]

for how you're wrong on darwinism?

[fervent star]

sure i'm wrong and you are right

[karmic tiger]

never pretended to be right

but anyhoo

[fervent star]

but you see how easy it is to prevent a conflict

but the example is still missing 😉

in real not the good survive, only the middle

the first and the last got shoot in war

so no problem to be in the middle

[uneven spear]

I think you're past the point of "funny drunk" and maybe should go do something else for a bit.

[fervent star]

what?

code smth?

put it in a repo and never get merged?

yeah, my humor

[amber sparrow]

Had a nice time out with a discord bud now turned IRL pal

[fervent star]

i still have a nice time

not a great website but the streaming background is great

it's just obs i push the stream

and it's vdo i take participants in

[civic quarry]

hello, this is not the place to advertise your stream (not the first time either).

[fervent star]

yeah yolo

that's why it's off topic

[civic quarry]

nope, i think kachin had it right that you should probably go do something else for a bit.

[amber sparrow]

Not back seat modding, I think fenrir has advised similar

(I could be mis remembering though)

[wanton coral]

I know I can use vlc / mpc-hc for this but is there a website to play two youtube videos at once and synchronise them?

For gameplay that's from two different perspectives

[still turret]

https://www.youtubemultiplier.com/ I've seen this used for silly meme things but might work?

[wanton coral]

ah that would be perfect if it didn't have a ton of dead space but thanks

[still turret]

time to bust out the element zapper.

[wanton coral]

hmm but I have two monitors so this could be better

I think vlc will be best bet

😦

I thought it could just play videos

maybe I have an old version

[smoky rapids]

If you choose network tab then YouTube link doesn't work?

[wanton coral]

it does now that I updated from a 1.5year old version 😅

but it isn't playing the two videos at once, just one of them

despite having it selected

[wanton coral]

even after downloading the files it only opens one of them 😭

I think its just broken

allow only one instance is turned off

vlc 2.2.0 seems to open two windows but both videos are just black

I tried 3.0.10, only one window opens

I think this feature has just been broken for years or maybe it never worked

ok it works with VLC 2.2.8

So, whats the sweet spot in specs if i want to build a DOS/98 machine?

For gaming, ofc.

[terse helm]

what the hell

how long does it take for your browsers to start when you reboot your computers?

[oak briar]

echo #stream-setup:msg > "Yeah. Streaming used to be mine. (Even says so on my Twitch page) but if you're sleeping 20 hours a day for days straight and no one knows why, ya ain't got much time to self-help, or even diagnose, heh"

[terse helm]

?

[oak briar]

(I wasn't on topic there and put it here)

[terse helm]

this is not how commands work

[oak briar]

No, but I'm tired and didn't feel like putting a lot of thought into a command that wouldn't actually do anything 🙂

I've been fighting with raspicam streaming. I'm burnt out

It has taught me my linux knowledge is rusty as all hell. Depression steals so much from you

I used to be a datacenter admin

[oak briar]

Are you building a new one, or one with hardware from that era so it'll actually run the SW on the appropriate HW?

[radiant willow]

Mostly hardware from that era. Im split on wether or not to use a modern PSU, but i guess that will also depend on what fits the mobo

[oak briar]

Yeah, 98 would use an AT PSU, but you can just rewire an existing one AFAIK. Granted, PSU last forever

Wait, no, by 98 it was ATX

So you should be OK. The big "clunk" switches were before pentiums

If you're going back to that era, run Windows 2000. It'd run all the older stuff and was rock solid

As soon as it came out we only gamed on it

[karmic tiger]

🫂

[radiant willow]

From what i gather, a lot of DOS games start running funny, if at all, if the CPU is too high. Win 95/98 games might also behave funny too.

[oak briar]

Yeah. Really old DOS games require CPU limiters, because their frame rate is tied directly to the CLK speed

[terse helm]

no one's ever gonna make a computer that goes faster than 33MHz, surely

[radiant willow]

And despite DOSBOX being a thing, ive heard that even that has its caveats.

[oak briar]

It's funny, but that was kinda the thought at the time. You just got games programmed for specific hardware. It kinda still is the same way today, speaking as someone who has dabbled in gaming dev. Everything is tied to frame rate now, which is why that can muck up remakes/reboots

[terse helm]

no modern game should have anything tied to the frame rate

[oak briar]

The original Dead Space was like that. Sometimes it was really odd or little things so you didn't understand what was wrong until you dropped it down to 60 or 30

No, it shouldn't be able to mess up. But what can happen per ticks between the CPU and GPU is...uh, outside the scope of this conversation.

[radiant willow]

Twisted Metal 2 with its car selection screen where instead of the cars revolving at a steady pace, they're spinning erratically.

[oak briar]

Danny, if you're trying to play Police Quest or Kyrandia or something, yeah, you may want a rig that's rockin an AT PSU, but I bet 2k w/ Dosbox can do most

There's literally more years separating us now from the release date of Dead Space than there were between Kyrandia and Windows 2000

Heh, yeah. I fired up STALKER for some nostalgia. I'd reinstalled my drivers and it reset my max FPS limit. As soon as the main menu came up I could hear my GPU's coil whine

[radiant willow]

The other thing is making a not as old PC as well since some games wont run at all unless someone makes a "patch" to bypass SECUROM. Even installing Win7 is iffy since Microsoft patched Securom out of that too.

[oak briar]

Video game historical archival and retention looks interesting...and frustrating.
Think of all the stuff that's digital only now that's gonna get lost. Nintendo just shut down a bunch of e-shops

[radiant willow]

Nintendo is frustrating.

If a game can be made to run on my current PC just fine, then yes, i do that, but otherwise there are those games where it calls for era specific hardware.

[vapid tinsel]

Awwww, sounds like a great pack. Do they all get along well?

[vapid tinsel]

Time is an illusion. Lunch time doubly so.

[prisma dove]

Damn well, actually. And I have a 55 gal fresh water aquarium with a monster pleco and a bunch of other fish. They get along well too, within their ecosystem 🐟

[karmic tiger]

you have 55 gals in an aquarium? damn they must be cramped

[velvet zinc]

But to be honest Richard you look like Father Christmas from a different planet🤣 🤣

[vapid tinsel]

Awesome!

[prisma dove]

You have no idea...

[vapid tinsel]

🤣

[prisma dove]

I think he looks like Clancy Brown

[velvet zinc]

It's true

[vapid tinsel]

Interesting. 🧐

[velvet zinc]

You have such a big forehead the actual brain has exploded completely zero brain cells inside there because it's gone

[karmic tiger]

[velvet zinc]

You won't no I will never tell you no one knows

[vapid tinsel]

Geez. Father Christmas is going to get into his database and adjust some fields

[vapid tinsel]

Or maybe use that block feature of Discord.

[karmic tiger]

discord?

[wanton coral]

Does anyone know of a good breakdown of how 3D that doesn't require glasses works like on the 3DS? It's interesting how its reported to have caused headaches and eye issues

[velvet zinc]

Ohh no Father Christmas doesn't know me you know why because I know him

[karmic tiger]

[livid plover]

[prisma dove]

Discord servers in general

[velvet zinc]

You're too old to be on discord Richard there is an age limit

[amber sparrow]

Musta been a tenor gif

[karmic tiger]

[vapid tinsel]

I was just wondering that.

[livid plover]

[karmic tiger]

anyways, it was "Remember, kids, if Santa asks you whether you’ve been naughty or nice this year, you should always say, “Am I being detained?”"

[prisma dove]

Ask for a lawyer

[velvet zinc]

[vapid tinsel]

The iOS version of discord is awful. I really don’t like this new version. Searching is way too clunky.

[velvet zinc]

[terse helm]

[amber sparrow]

C word is probably my favorite word in the English language

[karmic tiger]

[velvet zinc]

Ohh what the fuck I am so scared

[livid plover]

i'd screenshot you the discord status page but i wouldn't be able to for obvious reasons

[terse helm]

yep

[amber sparrow]

Discord, ur home again, go drunk

[prisma dove]

Starting feel like Discord is using AWS

[vapid tinsel]

When friendly banter turns in to fecal matter that impacts the rotary air moving device…

[karmic tiger]

not impossible that they're on their way to finally implement the time-gated CDN

[terse helm]

close, google cloud

[prisma dove]

even better (worse)

[terse helm]

The webpage at https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/374635871808520195/1195736428181717033/photomode_25082023_201435.png?ex=65b51354&is=65a29e54&hm=bb9c15093fb222c9876730edd46ea9294bafcde18bda5d685c1c4c753cda984d& might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE

[vapid tinsel]

At least it’s not an access database.

[terse helm]

it's not the upload that fails I guess, but the access afterwards

[velvet zinc]

Do you cuts not know how to help people

[amber sparrow]

Nope

that's why we're here, and not in #windows-support

[karmic tiger]

yeah, they've been making changes to their CDN to disable permalinking so I'm not surprised there's some hitches

[prisma dove]

People, yes
rude trolls, no

[karmic tiger]

that's probs why the pics have taken very long to load all morning for me too

[wanton coral]

Trolling was better back in the irc days

[vapid tinsel]

Well, I’m just a member and not a regular or a volunteer here. So no.

[velvet zinc]

Because since you all ignoring me that's fine but **** you all **** your jobs **** your life goodbye

[prisma dove]

Practically an art form

[livid plover]

back when it was original too

[velvet zinc]

fuck you all and your lives

[karmic tiger]

you're selling yourself a bit short. pretty sure you know enough about obs to do a fair bit of troubleshooting easily

[amber sparrow]

Someone needs to touch grass

[livid plover]

god i miss the smell of a freshly cut lawn ngl

[terse helm]

I don't

I never liked that smell

glad I live in a city now

[vapid tinsel]

Besides, so far this morning, I’ve not seen any post in this channel that remotely begins to appear to look like a request for assistance.

[velvet zinc]

@still turret ban them

[terse helm]

fresh-bake me some bread though

[blissful folio]

The smell of freshly cut grass is underrated

[karmic tiger]

tbh even if they were, this wouldn't be the place for it

this is the water cooler. no shop talk at the water cooler

[livid plover]

recently felled trees, especially needle trees is also

[vapid tinsel]

[wanton coral]

Why do you have NorrisSpeedster_4; are you on your 5th account already?

[velvet zinc]

[vapid tinsel]

Based on their behavior, I’d say yes.

[prisma dove]

Could be their car number.

[terse helm]

[velvet zinc]

[wanton coral]

What even do you find interesting about modern F1?

[livid plover]

The first 3 laps tbh

I usually sleep through the rest

[wanton coral]

V12 era was so good and exciting and now it feels they've heavily stifled innovation

[vapid tinsel]

Probably their age divided by 4.

[livid plover]

Seeing the ocassional mid field battle i guess, and the expected ferrari screwup too

[wanton coral]

Aw they never got to answer

[vapid tinsel]

Ah, that’s better. But I’m sure I’ll have a chance to deal with that account elsewhere.

[prisma dove]

that's okay, NorrisSpeedster_5 will arrive soon

[wanton coral]

Their name was a reference to Lando Norris F1 driver who's #4

[terse helm]

man

imagine taking something like f1

and making it your entire identity

[wanton coral]

Started in F1 in 2019

[prisma dove]

oh, gotcha. I haven't watched auto racing in years.

[vapid tinsel]

I’m vaguely aware of the sport though that Netflix series. Btw, did that show end?

[wanton coral]

I caught some Formula 4 racing on TV and that was quite interesting

[vapid tinsel]

I saw in the news recently, Haas part ways with team principal Guenther Steiner.

Well, the dog is restless so it’s time to get up and go take in the morning air. Good chatting with y’all. 👋🏻

[vapid tinsel]

Oh Discord!

[terse helm]

working media embeds are overrated

[vapid tinsel]

Well that seems to have worked.

[uneven spear]

All broken for me.

[wanton coral]

Just have to download and view

[karmic tiger]

yeah, rhunt's shows as an embed for me but doesn't load

[terse helm]

[karmic tiger]

when I click to download, it opens a page that does nothing
