[13:52] schestowitz Date: 2021-05-01 [13:52] schestowitz In the last tip I talked about how to use the queue to manage your browsing session. The queue is very powerful and you will want to use it often, but there are is another trick to browsing content. [13:52] schestowitz One thing I forgot to mention in the last post, is that Diohsc also has an "inventory" command, which like all commands can be shortened: [13:52] schestowitz ``` [13:52] schestowitz > i [13:52] schestowitz ``` [13:52] schestowitz This will show you a little bit about your client's state, especially what you have in your queue should you wish to view it. It will also come in handy for this tip because it also shows you your page history for the current navigation flow, and if you had previously switched contexts it also shows the last page you were on in the other flow. (The one referredd to as "''".) [13:52] schestowitz Now, for example, let's say that I open a list of content that I would like to browse, like calcuode's gmisub feed. I open the first item, which happens to be Techrights, and when I am there, "i" gives me the following output: [13:52] schestowitz ``` [13:52] schestowitz <1 gemini://calcuode.com/gmisub-aggregate.gmi [13:52] schestowitz ``` [13:52] schestowitz This shows me my "back" history, so if I chose to go back from the current page I return to the aggregator page. This can be made a part of relative navigation from the previous page(s), which means that if you desire, you can do something like this: [13:52] schestowitz ``` [13:52] schestowitz > <] [13:52] schestowitz ``` [13:52] schestowitz What the "]" does is reference the next link down from the last one you visited from that page. While I'm on Techrights, issuing that command will not just take me back to the aggregator page, but also take me forward to the next link, so I'll end up on next feed item. This can also be reversed like so: [13:52] schestowitz ``` [13:52] schestowitz > <[ [13:52] schestowitz ``` [13:52] schestowitz The difference between "]" and "[" being that the former goes to the next link on the page and the latter goes to the previous link. If instead you use curly braces "}" and "{" it will open the next previously unopened URI. (One that you have never visited before.) [13:52] schestowitz If I had gone one link deeper into Techrights, my inventory would look something like this: [13:52] schestowitz ``` [13:52] schestowitz <1 gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/05/01/index.gmi [13:52] schestowitz <2 gemini://calcuode.com/gmisub-aggregate.gmi [13:52] schestowitz ``` [13:52] schestowitz In which case I could get back to the aggregator with "<<" or by referencing the number "<2". That way you can decide how far back up your history you want to go before proceeding to the next item. At this point I might do something like: [13:52] schestowitz ``` [13:52] schestowitz > <<] [13:52] schestowitz ``` [13:52] schestowitz or [13:52] schestowitz ``` [13:53] schestowitz > <2] [13:53] schestowitz ``` [13:53] schestowitz This is very convenient especially when you want to browse content incrementally. Queueing requires you to decide in advance where you want to visit, so in certain situations you might accidentally over-select and end up with items in your queue that you will later have to delete once you decide you don't need to read any more. This could happen if you are using something like Spacewalk, where you can start at the top with the most recently updated [13:53] schestowitz page and continue down the feed until you hit one you've read before. Beyond that there would be nothing new for you, so it would have been pointless to queue them. [13:53] schestowitz If you ever get confused about where you stand, don't forget to check your "inventory". In addition to showing your last jump point, your queue, and your back navigation history, it also shows forward navigation history after you've gone back to a page.

[14:34] Techrights-sec :12 [14:35] schestowitz-TR just did a video about it, but the sound quality got worse for some reason, I am attempting to operate on the assump [14:35] schestowitz-TR tion I put the volume level for iinput too high [14:37] Techrights-sec Yes, there is an optimum input level. Too high and it gets badly distorted. [14:37] schestowitz-TR I have a dum question [14:37] schestowitz-TR if I set the volune of mic low, it does not prevent it picking sound, right? It just adjusts what it gets from the s [14:37] schestowitz-TR ensors propertly, so full volume would not jmean picking up more waves [14:37] Techrights-sec Yes. There is the question of amplification and the input level indicator [14:37] Techrights-sec often has a marker to show what level is optimal. But lower works, it's just [14:37] Techrights-sec more quiet and less distortion. [14:37] Techrights-sec np [14:38] Techrights-sec IF the volume bars for input are colored, you want the input hitting the top [14:38] Techrights-sec of the green and maybe a little of the yellow but never red. [14:38] Techrights-sec Or you can make a few tests at different levels and listen. ● Nov 17 [15:10] schestowitz-TR 50% volume for mic or maybe 60% seems enough, recently I had it on 100% and you'll hear the difference [15:58] Techrights-sec Excellent [15:58] schestowitz-TR librewolf fresh start ~150MB of RAM [15:58] schestowitz-TR rianne feels the difference too [15:58] schestowitz-TR uploading video ● Nov 17 [16:00] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
