Both

[terse helm]

[vernal current]

Which

[amber sparrow]

BOTH

[vernal current]

I only have 1 set of eyes

[amber sparrow]

Skill issue

I'd start with rain man

[vernal current]

While I like basketball movies, I can't say no to the cruise missile

[modern yoke]

I am proud because I outsmarted chatgpt in a programming exercise today. For some reason it could not grasp the concept and often misunderstood parts of it. (even when I tried to correct it like 3 times!). It was very good at convincing me that it "knew" what was going on but it was a complete mess.

Then I studied it for like 15 minutes, made it make sense, and solved it.

[livid plover]

Like teaching your own private scriptkiddie

[modern yoke]

I realize maybe I didn't wrote what I meant.

I mean I studied the actual subject and problem for like 15 minutes. Not what chatgpt said, because it was unreliable. 😅

[livid plover]

That was for the "tried to correcr it 3 times" part :v

[modern yoke]

Oh, I see

[jaunty fulcrum]

Chatgpt doesn't have the ability to "grasp" concepts, so this is entirely unsurprising

[modern yoke]

Yeah. Maybe it wasn't properly trained on it. It was a number sequence exercise but it kept getting the sequence wrong.

[brazen thunder]

I'd look at that result as something I've said a lot of my life:
Coding is (to me) an intersection of language and logistics/problem solving. So in some cases a Large Language Model can understand what to do with code, if it's a language/logistics problem.
Math/sequencing though, is not really what the tool excels at, and it's where I've found the most problems with the output

[vernal current]

Just finished rain man

My curiosity has been sated

[left mulch]

i'd be interested to see the prompt/answer

[silver fable]

Uh-oh, fart.

fart?

Haven't seen the movie, have you.

[sudden adder]

Fart The Movie?

The 1991 film or the 2000 film?

Thunderpants is probably better than both of them

[cyan talon]

hi

[sweet anchor]

Yea, I've felt like it's a really nice tool for breaking down what you're trying to do into segments, and then getting help solving those specific segments. But if you try to tell it to develop a larger more complicated structure on its own, there will be a lot of lacking.

[jaunty fulcrum]

Meanwhile https://www.forbes.com/sites/dimitarmixmihov/2025/02/11/ai-is-making-you-dumber-microsoft-researchers-say/

[sweet anchor]

I mean, that's to be expected. It's a tradeoff.

Having to spend less time thinking about things, boosts/speeds productivity.

[jaunty fulcrum]

Yeah. Unfortunately, most don't understand the tradeoff. And every company is still trying to tack it on.

[sweet anchor]

Hardly unsurprising?

Yea, they just want things done as fast as possible 😛

I feel like if you consider the response you get, and try to understand it. Figure out if its the best approach or not - and then spend time evaluating it - and don't blindly follow it with copy pasta - then its not a bad tool.

But it may just be for plebians like myself. Often times being able to explain a problem, and the LLM understanding what this is - can even give you the technical term for it.

Which you can then either feed back into the LLM, or google for documentation.

Has helped me a lot at least.

[smoky rapids]

Enjoy some wonderfully hidden midi's on your computer.

C:\Windows\Media\flourish.mid
C:\Windows\Media\onestop.mid
C:\Windows\Media\town.mid

[neon spoke]

You know, I guess I would've assumed but I didn't know until I searched

[copper notch]

I just transcribed a full band score for Annihilator - Never, Neverland, off the same titled album in GP8. I should export it as MIDI and see how VLC handles it.

I presume it is just using Windows built in synth though

[sweet anchor]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[copper notch]

Don't think I have Fluidsynth installed... it's on my old PC though I think

Yep, I got the same error. I tried with Windows Media Player and it works though, but it sounds TERRIBLE compared to the synth built into Guitar Pro 8. LOL

OMG, it sounds like 1995 all over again

OMG this is terrible LOL

[smoky rapids]

Works with MPC-HC on my machine

[copper notch]

It's total ear rape in Windows Media Player. I guess a lot of the custom stuff in GP8 has no pure MIDI equivalent so it goes all haywire. LOL

One part of the song played back at double the tempo. Not sure why that happened

Yeah, just double-checked the song and it is the right tempo in GP

This part of the song WMP plays like 2x as fast with a wrong instrument sound and it's like WTF LOL

[sweet anchor]

I passionately hate qt.

[sweet anchor]

Having 3 different widget types for an input field is madness, change my mind.

Forgive me, there's way more than 3. Whoever invented Qt had a grudge against humanity.

[neon spoke]

Seems like a project where the makers couldn't agree on One Way to do a thing, or as new makers came on and added "better" ways, they still maintain the old ways for backwards compat or to satisfy folks who don't agree the way is "better". Classic kitchen sink syndrome maybe.

[amber sparrow]

I volunteer you as tribute to rebuild QT from the ground up

[sweet anchor]

People can shit on electron all day, but dealing with UI stuff there in comparison to this is a light breeze. This is like trying to win a punching match versus tyson in his prime.

[neon spoke]

Can I confess something kinda dark to you all? I really really dislike front-end work. It's a dislike that holds me back, but it cannot be denied.

oh gods electron haha

[sweet anchor]

Like, GammaRay doesn't even report all the information so half the time you're trying to guess what something is or is called - and diving through various source code trying to figure out what the heck is going on.

[vernal current]

You know what I want to watch? Twisters, but it's not available yet

And companies wonder why people pirate

[sweet anchor]

Like, this window isn't even reported by GammaRay

So like, good luck?

[jaunty rampart]

which is fine unless you throw a 1GB midi at it

but 32 polyphony for that thing is a little bit, insufficient

[amber sparrow]

Are you a fan at all of Saturday Night Live?

[vernal current]

It's ok

[amber sparrow]

That's kind of my opinion too. Have you watched the movie Saturday Night?

[vernal current]

I hated it

[amber sparrow]

👀

Tell me why

[jaunty rampart]

send me the midi

[vernal current]

The movie itself is fine, but there was this constant sound in the background that never stopped and it was supposed to create tension but it only made me more agitated

Its worse when drums and stuff was added for more effect

[amber sparrow]

Interesting. I didn't notice that but I did notice it feeling like it was going 100mph

[vernal current]

Because of the background sounds

[amber sparrow]

You ever watch the show "studio 60 on the sunset strip"?

[vernal current]

It never stops

No

[amber sparrow]

You should check out a couple episodes if you ever get the chance

[vernal current]

I'm craving to rewatch training day though

Haven't seen it since release

[jaunty rampart]

thats weird because earrape should be handled properly

[jaunty rampart]

even when theres like +20 or +30dBFS over the limit of the output

[vernal current]

I have reacher to watch this weekend and next week I'll start daredevil

[jaunty rampart]

*if youre on windows 10

[vernal current]

But I want a movie to watch in between

Or I can hate play monster hunter

I want to punch the friend that recommended it to me

[amber sparrow]

[vernal current]

It probably has the lowest UI I ever experienced

Worst*

[livid plover]

worse than dwarf fortress?

[vernal current]

It's really bad, trust me

The game is alright but I have no idea what to do with the billion menues it throws at you

[karmic tiger]

id's UI isn't bad

[livid plover]

not used to MMO's?

[jaunty rampart]

use coolsoft virtualmidisynth for this

[vernal current]

MMOs are fine

[jaunty rampart]

last time i used fluidsynth its, mEh

[vernal current]

And it has all the worst parts of PS3 ge n games

[sweet anchor]

Idc bout midi - was just opening it cus SB mentioned how VLC handles it.

[karmic tiger]

just to be clear, which MH are you talking of?

[vernal current]

The new one

[jaunty rampart]

yeah well vlc needs a synthesizer to handle midis

[karmic tiger]

oh lmfao

[jaunty rampart]

its not even a proper midi player as it says unsupported codec

[still mica]

I've probably got on the order of hundreds of abandonned projects where I got to the point where I needed to do some kind of UI work, and just... can't manage to come up with/enjoy that particular set of skills.

[neon spoke]

My UI is almost always the command line 🤪 i ❤️ zsh

[sweet anchor]

Yea can understand that - but I gotta say there are some solutions that make this more less enjoyable.

[civic quarry]

[karmic tiger]

because it's something that dipshits, daily, want to erase the representation of

[left mulch]

to be fair your entire conversation seems attention seeking

[karmic tiger]

being proud of it and displaying it is a refusal of its erasure

you tell it like every 15 yo that think they're edgy by repeating shit they've been told is edgy

statistically, that's untrue. I invite you to show me numbers proving there's overrepresentation

didn't say you were 15 yo, just acting like one

you have numbers?

That 's what I assumed first

[opaque halo]

ok.. obbsession then

[civic quarry]

So you HATE colors?

[opaque halo]

so the colors of the trans community. Got ya

They went on and on until they were removed. Good riddance.

[wheat karma]

!chatgpt can software be gay

[copper notch]

Here it is

The tempo goes haywire at a certain point in the song, and the instrument choices are pretty messed up.

I'm exporting an MP3 render of GP8's built in synthesizer for comparison with what it is supposed to sound like.

This fuckin 3 dollars per hour job

Wow no gifs

[unborn lark]

I hope

[jaunty fulcrum]

society's design is pretty frustrating, can confirm

[jaunty fulcrum]

I know I'm very late to the conversation, but people find it very strange that I enjoy (and prefer) frontend. I'd much rather work on implementing a visual design than trying to design & build any kind of backend.

[terse helm]

front-end tends to be more… rewarding

[jaunty fulcrum]

I worked at a company for less than a month in 2020 where everyone was fullstack and I couldn't imagine the amount of context switching.

[terse helm]

cause it's right in your face when you're making it

[jaunty fulcrum]

That's precisely what I love about it. I can see my work in realtime 😄 (though Qt does make that difficult sometimes, as some here can attest)

[copper pasture]

I've worked in frontend dev for a very long time, it's fun

I come from a graphic design background originally and rolled into that over time, these days I do a bit more backend though

[tall vapor]

am perfectly convinced that "full stack" is just a ploy to pay folk even less

and like

ofc it is

[jaunty fulcrum]

Yup. And they're such different skillsets!

[tall vapor]

absolutely

that someone that is a good programmer isn't necessarily great at UX we know from a plethora of (F)OSS tools

[jaunty fulcrum]

oh I know my UX is rubbish, and have been asking for a designer at my day job for 8 years 😦

[tall vapor]

and like.... not to shame em or anythin, I love them tools and there's plenty that I couldn't live without, but yeah

[copper pasture]

one of my favorite tropes in FOSS tools with a graphical interface is the project website not having any screenshots of the tool on it whatsoever

[unborn lark]

Oooh work this 3 dollars per hour job because it's enough.

(tries not to have a stroke)

[jaunty fulcrum]

don't get me started on lack of screenshots phew

[jaunty fulcrum]

the shaaaaade

[tall vapor]

screenshots? We don't do that here, readme.md is what you get (doesn't actually use any markdown features, though)

[jaunty fulcrum]

look, if a shell app can provide a gif of the functionality in action, your gui app can too!

[tall vapor]

not even trying to throw shade, more that it's somethin that I myself am painfully aware of

not like Microsoft is any better at UX these days, oh god

[jaunty fulcrum]

Honestly, it's a continued theme I keep seeing - it's like the people making various tools/software/games don't ever.. use things? Let alone their own things? The amount of times I've used something and been frustrated by functionality being inconsitent with the intent is baffling. And I say that knowing OBS has its own share of baffling UX.

[jaunty fulcrum]

They have their own share of baffling. There are downsides to being such a large entity.

[tall vapor]

often times with FOSS tooling having a GUI in the first place is an afterthought that gets added cause folk keep asking for it but the devs never actually use it and it shows

[jaunty fulcrum]

True true. Devs love their CLI.

[tall vapor]

at that point just saying "no" to folk requesting a GUI for it would be the more sound option, but yeah I get that folk continuing to drill you about it gets tiring

[jaunty fulcrum]

I mean, luckily with FOSS you end up with people making their own GUIs for CLI. A great example is https://winget.run/ and https://winstall.app/ but then you just get fragmentation rather than being discoverable.

[tall vapor]

yup and that fragmentation often times leads to havin to match cli to gui versions and the likes

[jaunty fulcrum]

Yeah, separate release cycles and all that.

[tall vapor]

yup

and then you get folk asking why every tutorial only shows the CLI option

well that's cause there's 50 different GUIs

[jaunty fulcrum]

I do feel like more and more now I have to watch a guide on YouTube for a tool that should be relatively straightforward, even command line.

[tall vapor]

oh one of the things that I doubt I'll ever fully understand is gstreamer

but there's nothin straightforward abt it, true

[jaunty fulcrum]

oh yeah I just.. don't bother with gstreamer. or ffmpeg. or spout. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tall vapor]

I sometimes need to glue a pipeline together and honestly it's amazin that it can be pulled off in the first place, but I do that with the documentation open on the other screen and once I got a working pipeline I better ensure to have that string copied to&saved in many different locations

blackmagic to v4l2 comes to mind

esp when dealin with a quad recorder for example

[neon spoke]

I don't find that strange, we... I need people like you to exist!!! My "front end" is API, pipelines, and commandlines. 🤪 Thank you for making that weird shit user friendly.

[jaunty fulcrum]

Just make sure your API is well documented and the documentation isn't 3 years out of date.

[neon spoke]

I find this take so interesting and I deeply envy it...because I feel precisely the same way about backend stuff.

[tall vapor]

wdym documentation, the src /IS/ the documentation

[neon spoke]

Fear not, I am a documentation maniac. I'm the guy leaving a paragraph in-code next to the shit that takes each coder an afternoon to figure out what it's doing, to save you that time going forward.

[jaunty fulcrum]

That assumes the src is readable. Some people don't know what conventions are. 😂

[neon spoke]

oh NO 😱

[neon spoke]

Yes. And even within conventions folks can get wild

[tall vapor]

look sometimes gettin somethin to compile is hard enough as is

oh god c(++) with all of it's undefined/up to compiler interpretation behaviours

[jaunty fulcrum]

you funny

unfortunately it's so true. every build system has its own quirks and nothing is designed to prioritise easily reproducible builds.

[tall vapor]

yuuuuupppppp

You think your thing is good, it compiles&builds just fine.... and then the issue abt it not building on msvc comes in

orrrr it builds just fine when you're buildin for amd64, but oops now you want for it to work on aarch64

[jaunty fulcrum]

or it turns out you installed a bunch of dependencies but didn't document them in a requirements.txt 🙃

[tall vapor]

oh big time, you better ensure that your thing actually builds in a clean docker with only the deps listed in yer reqs

otherwise you've successfully landed yourself in land

[neon spoke]

Didn't we all effectively abandon virtual environments in favor of containers? (I joke. Mostly.)

...also, thank you for not shipping OBS exclusively in a container.

[tall vapor]

yer talking abt the things that are just available as containers even tho it could've easily been a venv for example yes

but I was talking abt using clean containers as a way to test whether your supposedly portable application actually is and doesn't just run on your dev machine that got a trillion dependency packages installed

[neon spoke]

I see. We need you to document that so more people do it that way. I like your way haha

[tall vapor]

ran into the issue of "oh yeah I have built this statically linked binary that should run on every system that I throw it at" but it not actually.... doing so way too many times to count

and to test whether it /ACTUALLY/ does containers are lovely

also folk..... pls build your release binaries on the lowest os rel that yer trying to target (as in if you say that it works starting with debian 8 pls build it on debian 8), not on your arch dev machine

none of that "oh it SHOULD work on xyz so imma list xyz as supported"

[silver fable]

I probably will go back and grab a couple once I get paid again. Bills first, and all. Gotta make sure I have the cash to blow.

[tall vapor]

better keep the supported list small but actually have that list only consist of environments where ya actually tested it

also annoys me with plenty of games, too

recommended&min specs that are "oh I think it should work on that"

better to have a higher min spec listed cause that happens to be the lowest spec that you actually got access to

[silver fable]

I'm also waiting for Dave Brow, over at Sweetwater to give me some turntable recommendations. I've used them for years, and their Sales Engineers have been awesome with their advice.

[full fern]

I always hear good things about Sweetwater

[silver fable]

Yeah, bought a lot of my gear from them. Accidentally bought some stuff a few years ago that didn't really mesh well together, and within 30 minutes of placing the order, had a call from them to let me know the problem, and the recomended fix. Got it reordered, and saved some cash in the process. LOL

They also throw a small bag of candy in with every order.

[terse helm]

lots of shops do that now

idk where that idea came from but I'm not complaining

I ordered some magnets from a german webshop and they had custom candy

[amber sparrow]

They also call usually within a few hours to a couple days of the order being delivered asking how you like it and last guy I had just shot the shit for a few minutes about video games

Their customer service really is top notch

[terse helm]

oh I'd hate that

[amber sparrow]

In a day and age where people hate talking to each other, it's kind of refreshing

Maybe don't be so grumpy

😉

[silver fable]

April Fools Day from a couple years ago. https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/whats-better-than-candy/

[brazen thunder]

You also get a sales rep assigned to you (and if you have a friend who shops at sweetwater, it's the same rep they use) so the service is super consistent

[amber sparrow]

Yea. They are fantastic. Only time I don't use them is when thomann has an item that is cheaper with the shipping added

Hello chat

Hello #off-topic

[modern yoke]

[jaunty rampart]

minor inconvenience at its best

dont worry this is just x264 testing

actually

why is ffmpeg capped at half the cpu resources when used by obs

i tried 650fps which still makes obs hit sub 60% cpu

[civic quarry]

hello chat

[wary holly]

@jaunty rampart obs-studio is a time-critical application, so CPU usage is reported in a manner that's accurate but not necessarily useful. What are you trying to do?

[jaunty rampart]

i was testing the limit of ffmpeg when used by obs

its always half the cpu no matter how insane the settings are

[wary holly]

I hope you were feeding it some real footage and not a black screen?

[jaunty rampart]

650fps/1.75gbit

recording a footage that isnt blank

static screen wouldnt hit cpu too hard for me

[wary holly]

Games don't like having to share CPU resources, is it still running at 650 or more while recording?

[jaunty rampart]

i tried 3700fps and obs reported less than 2500fps while recording

[jaunty rampart]

i meant footages (edited)

[wary holly]

@jaunty rampart Could you describe your usecase in more detail? Recording at 240 FPS or more is possible, but a lot of things have to be done right for that to happen.

[jaunty rampart]

there is no use case. i am simply trying to touch the limit

[wary holly]

I doubt you're validating results correctly, so you won't know the limit by doing this.

[jaunty rampart]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/762361283223093278/1349039957079228436/2025-03-11_22-22-01.mp4?ex=67d1a6dd&is=67d0555d&hm=d00feb377d474f1d85d411551b767e227dcb8b57cebfe0dd88164d071123bd20&

the setting for this one was 1.75gbit

which averaged out at ~200mbit

[wary holly]

Video claims to be 50 FPS and dips to about 39 unique frames per second.

[jaunty rampart]

this video is about bitrate, but i will send the 650fps test video later

650fps (supposed)

[jaunty rampart]

which leads to me wondering whether ffmpeg used by obs would be limited by anything

as you can see in task manager the cpu activity is hitting around half

[wary holly]

Are you using the ffmpeg output mode in settings>output>recording?

[jaunty rampart]

i use advanced output

ffmpeg nah

oh wait

i thought you meant commands

yeah its the custom output ffmpeg

[wary holly]

IIRC obs-studio uses x264 directly when not using ffmpeg output mode. (medium-low confidence)

The ffmpeg output mode is provided "as-is", some things work poorly or not at all.

[jaunty rampart]

ffmpeg as an executable would hit cpu as hard as it can but in this case i have yet to know what i did wrong

unless its limited by something i cant circumvemt

[silver fable]

And that was definitely on the poorly side. Nothing at all fluid about the cursor movement.

Of course, it might be my video player having a stroke.

[jaunty rampart]

if you play the 650fps footage you definitely need better decoder

[wary holly]

Not necessary, you can play at 0.25x speed or less.

[jaunty rampart]

one minor problem was i forgot to check reported fps in obs

but so far every insane settings ive tried always led to ~50% cpu activity

[wary holly]

That's a static screen.

[jaunty rampart]

might try tmr and i need something with many varying frames

def not games if you say games dont like sharing cpu

[silver fable]

It's not the decoder.

[terse helm]

bro how many mice do you have

[silver fable]

That was in the video, not on my end. LOL

[jaunty rampart]

thats mouse trail

i have it enabled because parsec which i use to remote control my pc sometimes wont show cursor

[silver fable]

Which should be fluid looking, not one frame it's not there, and the next, you have that.

Like this

[jaunty rampart]

love when matroska video wont embed

[silver fable]

Yeah, I knew it wouldn't, but forgot to remux. Fixed it, though.

[jaunty rampart]

ngl i hate when -r 60 doesnt work with higher frame rate videos with -c:v copy specified

[jaunty rampart]

my discord app would crash after few seconds of this video

[silver fable]

I just watched the whole thing in Discord. :/

[jaunty rampart]

yeah well im using android app

which is, 💩

also i played it in 0.25z

which means 162fps

cursor still doesnt seem to move smoothly though

[silver fable]

As smoothly as Windows does it. With Display cap, you only get up to your refresh rate in unique frames.

[jaunty rampart]

well thats unfortunate

[silver fable]

and for that video, apparently I had my refresh rate at 99.94 for some reason. Already fixed that, as well.

[jaunty rampart]

bitrate wise, the result was nowhere even near half of what my settings were

(1.75gbit)

[silver fable]

Don't need a high bitrate setting for a static screen.

[jaunty rampart]

if you look at the videos i sent, the other half wasnt completely static

[silver fable]

The 650 fps one was.

From the time the loading bar disappeared, to the end of the video, it was stuck on one frame. That's at the ~11 second mark.

[jaunty rampart]

yeah lets ignore that one for now

[silver fable]

and for the other one.

[jaunty rampart]

thats overall

peak was ~240mbit

I miss the old days when you went to run a game it just ran. I have to update the launcher, sign back in to the launcher, update the game, then finally 10 minutes later I don't feel like playing it anymore.

[neon spoke]

I guess I've more or less escaped that by playing small indie titles or ancient games that I mod the F out of (in which case I'm braced for the long load time that I brought on myself)

Also, if we go back in time far enough, I'm waiting for Doom via Shareware key to download on BBS overnight on my 9.2kb modem while everyone else waits their turn to do so.

[full fern]

Yeah, it's funny that Steam is the least annoying launcher LOL

[neon spoke]

so things are better now, I swear!

[neon spoke]

Right?

[full fern]

We were so excited to get a 14.4 modem in our house. So fast.

Right? Really helped get my downloads done so I could get back to what was important. Legend of the Red Dragon and Baron Realms Elite.

I literally never have to sign in to Steam since I installed it. Why don't EA, Epic, Ubisoft, and Rockstar learn how to do that?

[livid plover]

Cuz it's hard

[terse helm]

epic doesn't make me do that either but when I still played a ubisoft game it would make me re-login every two weeks or so

infuriating

[neon spoke]

If a game doesn't have any legit (fun for the player / part of the game) online services, it doesn't need me to login, and they need to get off of their wish to track me, goddammit.

[shrewd spire]

Epic constantly does it for me because I rarely use it.

But hey even if I don't use Steam for 3 weeks or so it doesn't do it.

I'm sure someone will yell at me and say invalidating old sessions is a good thing but still

[full fern]

Certain games want you to be online to "validate your key" or whatever even when not playing an online service. This endlessly annoys me because I am sure they can do it once and be done with it. (looking at you RDR2 Story Mode)

[tall vapor]

I just don't buy games like that anymore, frankly

Annoying on PC, even more annoying on deck

[full fern]

I don't blame you!

[tall vapor]

Yeah like..... it's just asking for trouble, and the day them servers inevitably shut down you can't play a single player game anymore

and till they day they /DO/ shut down it's still frustrating, especially when you just wanna play something while on the train or on your porch or wherever you don't have reliable wifi or hardwired ethernet

in a time before time, there was this game called monster hunter on PS1. A few years later I heard of this game called monster hunter that really started being popular and was super confused how that PS1 game became so popular and why all of a sudden the publisher was capcom instead of tecmo

turns out that game was called monster rancher and not monster hunter lol

you have to pay tax on bits from Twitch?
that is... the dumbest thing... why do people even buy them? the already ~22% cut you are giving to Twitch (if you buy the best deal available) is already insane, then you have to add tax on top of that!?!?!?
just use streamelements, pfft...

the person is barely getting over 50% by the time all the taxes and Twitch's cut are paid!

cause there's income tax they have to pay

at least subs... you are giving something to an actual user... even if most people won't visit the stream again after getting the gifted sub
but bits? freaking useless

[copper notch]

If you keep Steam or other gaming clients running 24/7 or at least log into them successfully once per week (maybe 2 weeks), the authentication is retained, however it has an expiry date on it of 1-2 weeks, so if you do not stay logged in all the time, or at least once in that window to refresh the authentication, it will invalidate and require login+email code all over again. This is true with Steam, and all the other gaming store clients. Occasionally there may be conditions where they require a reauthentication without explanation, which could be related to a security breach or some other factor.

I can say categorically that I've had Steam force me to login and verify again many times over the last 2 decades, despite having "Remember me" enabled. Ditto with every other store.

(and if someone else has not, then you have kept yourself logged in constantly to avoid having it happen)

what are the ffmpeg commands to trim a video

[shrewd spire]

ffmpeg -ss 30 -i input.extension -c copy -t 10 output.extension

this would skip the first 30 seconds and then extract the next 10 seconds

you can also use HH:MM:SS.xxx

[jaunty rampart]

does it not support using a specific timestamp

hm

[shrewd spire]

i'm sure there is a better way but that's just what i remember

[jaunty rampart]

btw there is -f gdigrab -i desktop to record the entire display but if i have more than one display, what command is there to record a specific display

[amber sparrow]

So many commands

[jaunty rampart]

theres no way im going to swim through that for one command

[shrewd spire]

i mean ffmpeg is liteally this so what do you expect

[jaunty rampart]

i absolutely love that github has no word search for these things

would have been less of a nightmare to narrow down what im looking for

[sweet anchor]

Ctrl + F ?

[shrewd spire]

looking at this you probably have to specify the coordinates of your second screen

perhaps easier with the desktop duplication api

inZOI: Graphics Comparison by System Specs

[livid plover]

that's anything to do with ffmpeg for ya. it's the dark souls of cmdline utilties really. maybe you'll be more happy with one of the many GUI tools instead? losslesscut for trimming losslessly, etc.

[jaunty rampart]

as a half assed cli user i find it easier to trim videos using ffmpeg than learning gui tools

[karmic tiger]

it is not easier to learn ffmpeg CLI than to learn a ffmpeg gui

that's kinda like saying "I'm too lazy to learn how to use google translate so I'm learning mandarin"

it's not a bad choice to learn ffmpeg, it is commendable, but your reasoning for it makes precisely jack fuck sense

[livid plover]

lol

[full fern]

Oh, this makes sense! Thank you! I occasionally chat with a friend or two on steam and have it open more often. The others I only run when I want to play a game on them.

[livid plover]

if you can't be assed to scroll the docs for ffmpeg, you're defo quicker off fumbling your way around most GUI's

[still mica]

I frequently prefer the cli, and earn my living running large fleets of linux boxes (which are all cli), and I'll still use losslesscut to cut out parts of videos I want, because why would I want to pull up a video player (...with a gui) and get start and end timestamps so I can type out an ffmpeg command to trim it, when I can just hit 'i' and 'o' at the start and end in that video playback gui and accomplish the same thing?

[livid plover]

alternatively see how those tools invoke ffmpeg and go from there too to make your own suite of cmd-lets for later use. i believe staxrip or what that other handbrake-like tool was gives you the raw ffmpeg command it runs

[neon spoke]

Sometimes a GOOEY makes sense. I like the command-line, but in terms of slicing and splicing video clips, something like Davinci is gonna smoke ffmpeg on usability and my stress levels,k for my part

Do you have content supporting HDR? Do you want HDR? Are you going to be recording/streaming and expect people to see the HDR too?

[void gale]

no HDR is not mandatory.
If there is 60hz 4k monitor i am fine .

[silver fable]

Why specifically 60hz?

[smoky rapids]

Because you can't see faster than 60 FPS

[terse helm]

the human eye can only see 24 fps anyway

[void gale]

because i only play single player games mostly(2d games) 60fps vsync is enough for me but 1080p feels like not crispy so looking for 4k for higher ppi

[jaunty rampart]

4k hits gpu very hard. make sure your gpu has enough horsepower for that

[jaunty rampart]

ngl i would get 60hz too but not for super sweaty gaming

also 32+inch as well

[terse helm]

if you aren't sweating while gaming you're doing it wrong tbh

[still mica]

I think AMD really missed an opportunity. If their new gen of cards would have had 32GB, or at least 24GB, and if they'd spent a couple of months making sure AMD was a first class citizen in the most common diffusion and LLM frameworks, they could have potentially made some pretty decent inroads into the AI space, given that it's literally impossible to get nvidia cards that can run those workloads right now.

[left mulch]

Is there a huge consumer market for something like that?

I know there is a pretty large business demand at least

[still mica]

Huge consumer market? Dunno. Business? Definitely.

The AI market is going to continue being a thing, though, and right now AMD basically isn't even participating at all... and tbh, that's probably been because the only real first class support for most things is nvidia support, and because of the whole fax machine problem (why support anything but nvidia when the only thing that's out there that people use is nvidia)... they'd at least have a chance of being a participant in that market if they got any kind of foothold. And being literally the only thing you could currently buy in that space might help provide that.

It's part of their plan from several years ago to unify desktop Windows and Xbox.

They've been marching towards this for ages.

They saw the success of SteamOS and the Steam Deck, and that's probably pushed them to make broader strokes.

The traditional console is kinda dying.

yuh but microsoft cant make a mobile ui thats good to save their life

[jaunty fulcrum]

Metro UI was spot on, tyvm

sugguest me strong gameplay focused single player third person or 2d games which has higher refresh rate support too.

I wanted to take the big scope out, but no polaris in sight to align with. just using a 500 for that

I barely had any time to focus, so it's just "good enough"

Valve has implemented a Trusted mode which does not allow OBS to hook CS2 using Game Capture. Read more in their announcement post. Additionally, they have no plans on allowing OBS in Trusted mode.

We recommend running the game in either windowed or borderless fullscreen and using a Window Capture source instead.

Alternately, you can launch the game with -allow_third_party_software .

[quaint egret]

hello guys

anyone wanna do a typing test

[amber sparrow]

Nope

[quaint egret]

oki

just found a fake virus link on Google

[quaint egret]

can you suggest me some AI tools that don't require email and stuff (browser)

[karmic tiger]

https://www.google.com/

[neon spoke]

You're not wrong.

[quaint egret]

bruh

I need AI, google's useless now

I mean it does give info but not the info I need

[sudden adder]

Then you need to give them your email and first born

[pastel stratus]

Where do you think AI gets their info?

[prisma dove]

Sacrifices must be made to achieve greatness

[sudden adder]

Appease the AI

[still mica]

Remember: if you do not help AGI come into existence now, then AGI will punish you for not helping it to exist sooner, when it finally does come into existence.

[karmic tiger]

right but you see, if I simply do not believe in its existence, the basilisk has no hold over me

[neon spoke]

I assume duckduckgo because Google sucks now

[copper notch]

Not sure if there are any cloud based AIs that provide service without an email backed login, however it is possible to run AI locally using both open source and proprietary applications, inferencing AI models on the local GPU and/or CPU, using apps such as LM Studio, GPT4All, Jan, Backyard.ai, AnythingLLM, Ollama, Msty and many other applications, using LLM models hosted by HuggingFace.

There are web UIs that can be used in a web browser to then access the local LLM from a browser. It is possible also to run the LLM software on one computer, and access it from a client or web browser on another computer on the LAN.

LM Studio is the best all around app (proprietary + free), which is for the more technically inclined, while Jan is open source and more geared towards the average user. Personally I recommend LM Studio for a single app that does it all. Or install every one of the apps if you're a nerd (like me).

One can never have too many local AI apps installed.

🙂

One may need to make a HuggingFace account in order to download and install LLM models locally however, or possibly download them from the website in a browser without (not sure). But anyone doing anything with AI is going to want to have an HF account anyway.

[sudden adder]

Define “get” them?

As in to add to their channel for viewers to use?

[sweet anchor]

Oh lord, here we go again - firefox getting stuck with "Your browser is not currently supported. Please use a recommended browser".

I can't believe twitch still hasn't fixed that.

[still mica]

I'm not getting that?

[amber sparrow]

WOMM

[sweet anchor]

Can't tell you why - I tried everything between here and the sun. Incognito, data clear, cookie clear - logs in just fine in chrome.

I had it last year as well - and it fixed itself after some time, so I suspect its something cached on twitches end.

But it's damn annoying they haven't fixed that after this long - getting a random ass unrelated error in "use a recommended browser".

Actual joke lol

[bleak oar]

Idk if its downloading them or just like adding them from the site directly to the channel but ive seen websites like that before

[carmine ibex]

[copper notch]

are you using an old version of Firefox ESR?

[smoky rapids]

It's not just them as someone else in the FFZ server has the same thing.

[hearty stirrup]

if the extension was actually signed, then their cert expired

but there may be an updated version of the addon

Harris, my dawg, you fell off

A 6 min ad pretty much is insane. No wonder no one uses your dog ahh music for their streams now

No wonder you're as relevant as herpes in a developed country. You exist, but to the disdain of everyone

finally, someone who agrees

[zinc vessel]

why did obs become gay

[wise bay]

Wondering what the logo on the OBS Community server is? It's the LGBTQ+ Pride flag, showing our support for LGBTQ+ Pride! For more information, click here

[civic quarry]

[zinc vessel]

why are you gay

[civic quarry]

Am not

[zinc vessel]

your pfp has pride flag

[civic quarry]

So?

[zinc vessel]

why do you have it if ur not gay

[civic quarry]

For the same reason as the server image, support

No neet to be gay or anything to support the movement

[zinc vessel]

why do you support it if you are not a part of it

[livid plover]

do you have an issue with them/that?

[copper notch]

IIRC their cert recently changed

Ah yes, I was right - https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2025/03/10/root-certificate-will-expire-on-14-march-users-need-to-update-firefox-to-prevent-add-on-breakage/ - however this is unrelated and not the cause of the problem as I hypothesized. Read the Bluesky post... that's shitty.

Do better Mozilla! But this is awkward as I just finished watching an amazing AI presentation from Mozilla 10x'ing AI inference on CPUs (llamafile). So I was in a kind of YOU GO MOZILLA, YOU GO!

Tested it and getting 2/3 of the performance of my GPU on my CPU with the Mozilla AI project, which is mental. But um, WTH... with the browser addons... geeze.

BTW, I hit that FFZ error too

[glass depot]

anyone know why do my pc have 2.1gb as a hardware reserved ram?

and if i remove it will it have any effect?

[livid plover]

you have an integrated GPU?

good luck removing that

[civic quarry]

Yeah, CAD. The price went up from $7.99 last month 😦

[tall vapor]

still not exactly bad honestly. Yeah went up here too, but ya as did everything else so eggs ain't an outlier

[hasty tapir]

Anyone know how to get a beep notification for new chat on twitch. I miss some sometimes.

[neon spoke]

I use Streamer.bot for that. It has a First Chat trigger as well as a Chat trigger that can play sounds or drive OBS actions

[opaque halo]

https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/setup-alerts-by-twitch?language=en_US#feed

Twitch has some pretty good "how to" documents/pages

[full fern]

Here's a browser source doohickey that makes a sound when you get a chat message. (On Streamelements)

https://strms.net/chat-doorbell_by_lx

Once you add the browser source, tick the box "control audio via OBS" Then set the source to "monitor only" in advanced audio properties. (This won't be heard by viewers unless you use Desktop Audio in OBS)

Thx Past Dot. Preciate you.

[neon spoke]

[waxen island]

Because having in-group prejudice toward out-groups is a sign of being an authoritarian follower. This is a creative and welcoming space where people with compassion and understanding meet and create and cooperate. IE: truly independent people who tolerate and encourage real discussion and nuance in an effort to improve life for everyone, not just whatever markers are used to define acceptability by the parasitical economic class of whatever society you are currently in. They develop a tool to aid in that endeavor.

Authoritarian followers cannot tolerate differences and eagerly support denigration and violence in order to maintain their social dominance - they have to do that because their 'philosophy' is invariably nothing more than semantic disruptions designed to disrupt progress toward equity and an evidence-free assertion of innate superiority.

They are easily scared and since they largely cannot think independently they default to supporting exclusion and the infliction of pain as a way of avoiding tolerance. Their world-views are fragile. They value loyalty to hierarchy over justice and will support things that hurt themselves and their communities as long as the out-group is hurt more.

Most authoritarian followers, as you have demonstrated, cannot see the humanity of anyone not approved of by their leaders - and their leaders are people who manipulate them with an unending stream of non-real, manufactured outrage. They are eager to promote division and try, as you have, to find a way to encourage seeing other people as non-human.

So, to sum up: all people are human and trying to exclude people because of things like sexuality, religion, gender, language, etc is a sign of failure to mature, failure to see others as equal, and a failure to understand how one is being manipulated by the rich.

If you actually want to try to learn something instead of repeating propaganda designed to divide the working class, you can read this: https://theauthoritarians.org/

[opaque halo]

For me personally --- YUP

[silver fable]

I'm expecting it to be super gross, so have a Body Armor Lyte ready to wash it down.

It was not horrible.

[opaque halo]

I've found most "energy" drinks to be pretty gross in taste.

[sudden adder]

I like the Ghost brand energy drinks. Strawbango and Welch’s Grape flavors are pretty nice

[silver fable]

I'm a fan of the Recovery line from Monster. Not as much caffeine, but also not 100% sugar.

[brazen thunder]

I was a fan of ghost, but I feel like they changed the formula in a couple and made them undrinkable

[silver fable]

Seems everyone has different tastes for these things. Lotsa folks like Celsius. I think it's gross.

[sudden adder]

Lots of people get itchy when they drink C4

[silver fable]

Like, itchy on the inside?

[sudden adder]

Outside on the skin

[opaque halo]

Overload of niacin will do that

[silver fable]

Better on the outside, I guess.

Itchy, tasty.

[vernal current]

never had any energy drinks in my life, but once smelled a red bull and was disgusted

[brazen thunder]

Alani has a couple flavors I like, and I can still do the ghost cherry lime and fuze, but the orange cream was my favorite and something in the recipe definitely changed

[sudden adder]

Ghost Faz Pop was terrible, Faz Up wasnt too bad. I think they are rebranding them now since the Faz deal ended

[opaque halo]

Who remembers the Blue Bumpy Bawlz Bottles?

Normally found sitting at the checkout lanes of CompUSA

[brazen thunder]

I had friends who drank them, but I don't think I ever tried them. It was mostly monster in college

[opaque halo]

I used to drink 'em when working 12-16 hr shifts. It's been at least 3 yrs since I've had any energy drink. Last one I had that I didn't mind the taste of was Monster White Sugar Free - but silly me didn't look at the ingredients and had a bad headache due to the artificial sweetener

[brazen thunder]

Ah yeah, I'm hearing more and more about sensitivities to those. I don't appear to be affected yet, but the sucralose will absolutely wreck my ma

[opaque halo]

I try to avoid most sodas and other similar drinks. Have 1 cup of coffee in the morning then water the rest of the day. If I want something carbonated then I just go for carbonated water. I have to watch my sugar and other "stimulant" intake.

[silver fable]

You can still buy Bawls.

There are a couple flavors.

Jolt is the dead one.

[opaque halo]

WOW - I thought they got push out of the market with all the other brands

[brazen thunder]

is surge back again? I feel like it returns and then disappears again

[opaque halo]

JOLT was bitter as hell

[silver fable]

https://a.co/d/4Md5S8c

[brazen thunder]

I usually have about 20 oz of drip in the mornings, and the weekends I'll allow up to 1 energy drink if I want the taste or am having a headache issue

[silver fable]

I could buy it in Arizona and Alaska, but it's not at my local store in Montana

[brazen thunder]

but I'm weaning sugar out again, I don't need it in my life

oh Xorshasia - I just grabbed an A380 for encoding and stuff and saw your post in encoding, I'm curious what you're using yours for

[silver fable]

When I had a desk job, I was more worried about the sugar than now. I'm hitting 16k+ steps a day, and don't way more work in my role as a delivery station manager.

[silver fable]

Encoding on my streaming PC, but since I'm pretty much done streaming, it's used for Plex.

All the quality of watching my physical media, without having to change discs.

[brazen thunder]

Have you messed around with para-virtualization with it at all? I think that might be my next step

I'm learning my previous limitations were probably actually the vega64's encoder, not necessarily how para-virt works

[silver fable]

477 titles, all ripped from 4k blu-ray.

[brazen thunder]

nice!

I guess then again at $100 and 0 power cables, it's not like I couldn't get a second one

[silver fable]

It's also why I'm sitting at 124Tb in drive space.

If i want go higher, by options are moving to a proper server, or grabbing a SATA expansion card.

[brazen thunder]

I'm likely spinning something like that up, both for my own use, but also the family needs a reliable archive, and right now they're sitting on a bunch of external drives

[sudden adder]

I never noticed any bitterness from Jolt, either the 90s version, the mid 2000s version, or the 2018 version

Its supposed to be making another comeback soonish

[opaque halo]

I may be misremembering. The 90s was a crazy time in my life and TBH - don't remember (and don't want to) a lot of things

[silver fable]

It tasted the closest to cola.

[brazen thunder]

so far i've been pretty happy with my silverstone 6-port

[sudden adder]

I believe Redcon1 got the license this time aroubd

[opaque halo]

yeah.. wasn't it double the sugar and double the caffine or something?

[brazen thunder]

Also helps with having the nas OS be virtual because I can pass 1 PCIe through instead of 6 sata

[sudden adder]

Original 16oz jolt was 25g sugar and 72mg of caffeine

Actually, i got the caffeine wrong. 160mg

Mountain Dew was 72mg

[silver fable]

Original Jolt was 12 oz cans, right?

Like, back in the 90s

[sudden adder]

There was 16s as well according to some of the info im finding

And they had the NOS style metal cans eventually in the early 2000s

Man, i miss drinking NOS, but the sugar was getting a bit much for me

[opaque halo]

I remember some of those. I enlisted in the military in the summer of 87. During training after bootcamp we'd drink those while studying

[sudden adder]

Memories

I wonder how the Redcon1 version will taste.

Sugar Free colas have always tasted bad to me

[brazen thunder]

maybe because I grew up in a diet dr pepper house, I often find aspertame more preferably to corn syrup

[sudden adder]

Aspartame gives me headaches. Sucralose im fine with

[terse helm]

aspartame is also disgusting

[opaque halo]

Yeah - that's the one that gives me headaches as well.

[amber sparrow]

I enjoy some cherry diet dr pepper

[brazen thunder]

the black berry dr pepper zero was a little disappointing but the strawberry cream was fire

[terse helm]

I don't even know if it gives me headaches because I avoid consuming it as much as possible

[amber sparrow]

Consume deez

[brazen thunder]

that would cause me a headache

it's a tool they give us, so I've used it for that yeah

I also just saw all the channels light up

[opaque halo]

Another run at it

Wonder how much of this would be cut down / stopped if people used 2FA

[terse helm]

0%

[brazen thunder]

yeah that plus the section below it

[terse helm]

they trick people into logging in with a QR-code

which circumvents 2FA

which Discord has been told hundreds of time is INCREDIBLY STUPID

but they refuse to fix

[brazen thunder]

I ended up giving up on the # stuff because friends meming with pretend twitter tags getting blocked turned it into No Fun Allowed

[brazen thunder]

would probably be fine for a server like this though

True - having a bit of sense when getting messages and being aware of things is a thing a lot of people don't use.
