schestowitz-TRdraft Apr 14 15:44
schestowitz-TRmy impression after a few weeks with kde neon is not all goodApr 14 15:44
schestowitz-TRI can see things I don't like as wellApr 14 15:44
schestowitz-TRit feels like "rolling release"Apr 14 15:44
schestowitz-TRand therefore I can spot some rougher edgesApr 14 15:44
schestowitz-TRmaybe for a hobby guy like daemonfc it's OKApr 14 15:44
schestowitz-TRbut I end up wasting lots of time trying to 'fix' thingsApr 14 15:44
Techrights-secackApr 14 15:44
Techrights-secthe whole distro has to be rolling thenApr 14 15:44
schestowitz-TRit also reminds me of windows in the sens that it wants a reboot to installApr 14 15:46
schestowitz-TRthe system updatesApr 14 15:46
schestowitz-TRand does not want me to run apt-get upgradeApr 14 15:46
schestowitz-TRthis seems like a regression to meApr 14 15:46
schestowitz-TRbut I assume they want a whole new image to boot each timeApr 14 15:46
schestowitz-TRI did not research this properlyApr 14 15:46
schestowitz-TRvlc was causing some issuesApr 14 15:48
schestowitz-TRand now webcamoidApr 14 15:48
schestowitz-TRinstalling updates takes a long timeApr 14 15:48
schestowitz-TRI'm OK with it as long as it's not "truly" my mkain machineApr 14 15:48
schestowitz-TRbut maybe one for storage of filesApr 14 15:48
schestowitz-TRand music, some browsing etc.Apr 14 15:48
Techrights-secackApr 14 15:58
schestowitz-TRdon't get me wrong,. I put all the essensial data like email on there and usually I don't change machinesApr 14 16:01
schestowitz-TRimmediatelyApr 14 16:01
schestowitz-TRI still do file editing, over ssh, from the "old" machine, vonickApr 14 16:01
schestowitz-TRI also check system error messages to assure myself nothing crazy is hapeningApr 14 16:01
schestowitz-TRthat OS will soon run out of official supportApr 14 16:01
schestowitz-TRKDE neon has very cutting edge packagesApr 14 16:01
Techrights-secackApr 14 16:01
schestowitz-TRI would rather records on there as the camera is of better qualityApr 14 16:01
schestowitz-TRcopying across files for processing to the other machine takes only a few secondsApr 14 16:01
schestowitz-TRabout a week ago the microphone no longer worked properlyApr 14 16:01
schestowitz-TRso I set that aside and used the other one in the meantimeApr 14 16:02
schestowitz-TRafter this update (read) reboot) I hope it'll be back to normalApr 14 16:02
schestowitz-TRI wasted a lot of time trying to 'fix' itApr 14 16:02
schestowitz-TRon the upside, this past night tuxmachines had no issuesApr 14 16:11
schestowitz-TRno downtime and the backups seem fine, I check every 12 hoursApr 14 16:11
schestowitz-TRI did not test gunzip on themApr 14 16:11
schestowitz-TRI will do in a moment on TRApr 14 16:11
schestowitz-TRweirdly enoughn the gzip file on archives/tm*, for yesterday, is failingApr 14 16:11
schestowitz-TRI tried all sorts  gunzip and gzip -dApr 14 16:11
schestowitz-TRthe one from a day earlier (04-12) works OKApr 14 16:11
schestowitz-TRwhen extracted it is 1.62gbApr 14 16:11
schestowitz-TRAAAApr 14 16:11

Techrights-secokApr 14 16:23
schestowitz-TRI still cannot fix the microphone+noisetorch, even after updatesApr 14 16:38
schestowitz-TRbut maybe it can work out for the better as I want to try obs studioApr 14 16:38
Techrights-secI'm mostly unfamiliar with sound.  I can only make the vague recommendationApr 14 16:40
Techrights-secto try to get each voice on a separate channel and then use Audacity or a forkApr 14 16:40
Techrights-secto do noise reduction.Apr 14 16:40
Techrights-secMy (mis-)understanding is that a lot of people do the audio in Audacity or a Apr 14 16:40
Techrights-secfork and then fold that in with the video recordings using Kdenlive, afterApr 14 16:40
Techrights-sechaving captured the video with OBS.  Thus one of the reasons for clapping onceApr 14 16:40
Techrights-secat the start.Apr 14 16:40
Techrights-secThat facilitates synchronizing the sound and the video. Apr 14 16:40
schestowitz-TRsuch a process would certainly take a lot more time Apr 14 16:42
schestowitz-TRwebcamoid managed to simplify a lot of stuffApr 14 16:42
schestowitz-TRI am not entirely sure why, just roughly when, the inputApr 14 16:42
schestowitz-TRstopped workingApr 14 16:42
Techrights-secYes many (nearly all) seem to have a full time production managerApr 14 16:42
Techrights-secThe video seemed to lock up. Apr 14 16:42
Techrights-secBy the way is there a link to the official FSF arhived copy of the talk?Apr 14 16:42
schestowitz-TRwhich video locked up?Apr 14 16:42
schestowitz-TRI did notice that vlc was recently acting a bit oddApr 14 16:44
Techrights-sechttp://techrights.org/2022/04/13/rms-libreplanet-2022-and-irc/Apr 14 16:45
Techrights-secAt least in VLC it locks up.  That happens in other videos tooApr 14 16:45

schestowitz-TRyes, I did notice this vlc issue recentlyApr 14 16:52
schestowitz-TRmaybe a week agoApr 14 16:52
schestowitz-TRfor the first timeApr 14 16:52
schestowitz-TRbut in firefox and other media players it plays OKApr 14 16:52
schestowitz-TRI'm not sure whyApr 14 16:52
Techrights-sec:/Apr 14 16:52
Techrights-secVLC used to be best but I gather it has attracted undesireable attention from M$Apr 14 16:52
Techrights-secor other malevolent interestsApr 14 16:52
schestowitz-TRI am nore sure if what changed was vlc, the media files, or something elseApr 14 16:53
schestowitz-TRbut a few times I was mortified that recordings had gone badApr 14 16:53
schestowitz-TRand then I saw it was OK in other playersApr 14 16:53
schestowitz-TRI cannot recall if processing the video overcame the issueApr 14 16:53
schestowitz-TRI've just tested some older fileApr 14 16:58
schestowitz-TRit seems like procesing or re-encoding such video solves the issue for vlcApr 14 16:58
schestowitz-TRbut I think we've seen the issue whether it's recorded on the new laptop or the new Apr 14 16:58
schestowitz-TRlaptopApr 14 16:58
schestowitz-TRthis leads me to suspecting vlc might be the culpritApr 14 16:58
schestowitz-TRtoday I iUN-installed vlc after installing it 2 weeks ago on the new laptoApr 14 16:58
schestowitz-TRas it was causinf severe issues at timeApr 14 16:58

schestowitz-TRthe options in obs studio are a whole new levelApr 14 17:11
schestowitz-TRthe file sizes are smallerApr 14 17:11
schestowitz-TRit does noise cancellationApr 14 17:11

Techrights-secPerhaps that could be annotated in the post as an advantage.  Apr 14 18:07
schestowitz-TRwhich advantage? the formats|? File size? Webcamoid has more options Apr 14 18:10
schestowitz-TRand more liberal onesApr 14 18:10
schestowitz-TRas a side note, for streaming it suggests using all sorts of disservices I strionglu dislikeApr 14 18:10
schestowitz-TRbut we rarely have a need to stream anythingApr 14 18:10
Techrights-sec "also notice file size"Apr 14 18:11
