for the world's richest company, yes; the same thought had actually crossed my mind as well
<archetech>
just break the law and we'll pay the fine what a ehtos
<archetech>
ethos
<TRS-80>
Yep, just cost of doing business, exactly
<archetech>
cuz everybodys doin it why not us sheesh
<c0rnelius>
the others say we will push security updates for up to 3 years and most don't, leaving android devices "if not unlocked" and "owned by a layman" opened to all kinds of security ricks.
<c0rnelius>
risks*
<c0rnelius>
its all a very flawed system and designed to be.
<archetech>
right cant spy on you if we fix what we say is secure ;p
<c0rnelius>
doesn't matter anyway... ur all locked in someehwere regardless if ur smart enough to unlock the phone and remove the OS and install ur own.
<c0rnelius>
somewhere... ur still using a service outside ur control.
<archetech>
2 sep issues
<c0rnelius>
its a trap... as the old star wars saying goes.
<archetech>
I lol'ed hard at gop lawyer saying "Release the Kracken!"
<c0rnelius>
the only way to be truly free is to disconnect.
<stipa>
i'll do that when i die.
<stipa>
internet is just too awesome
<stipa>
but, it came through my mind as well, aplle won't even feel it lost 113 Milion $
<stipa>
and they got away with the crime
<c0rnelius>
stipa: ur already dead. you just don't know it at ;)
<c0rnelius>
yet*
<stipa>
ha ha ha ha
<c0rnelius>
its like the UK going after google for services and now the US is doing the same, which will end exactly the same. Fine, we won't provide the service by default, but if by some chance someone wants to use it, we are now going to charge you.
<stipa>
who is going to charge?
<stipa>
manufactures or governments?
<c0rnelius>
Google
<c0rnelius>
Google got fucked with by putting google services on the phones sold, which were competing with other services.
<stipa>
yeah, it's just a mess, governments want monopoly over tech giants because its great mony involved.
<c0rnelius>
So google just simply said ok... well fuck you. now its removed and if you want to use it will cost.
<stipa>
money*
<stipa>
like tayes aint enough
<stipa>
taxes* paid by tech giants
<stipa>
it's just greed
<c0rnelius>
it is what is and can't be changed in a capitalist society.
<stipa>
by stupid politicians
<stipa>
what can you do, right c0rnelius , adapt or die
<c0rnelius>
or not participate
<c0rnelius>
its up to you
<stipa>
be a bigger ass than them all

not to be to deep, but it really doesn't matter. There is no one person or company or entity pulling the strings. You life and everything happening within it and the universe is "linear" and has already and yet not happened yet.
<c0rnelius>
So lets not be to concerned with the small stuff ;)
<c0rnelius>
your*
<stipa>
c0rnelius: i get your point, but that small stuff has influence on us all.
<stipa>
even if we don't want it
<c0rnelius>
stipa: I guess that depends on how willing you are to separate the this from the now and how ur "feelings" may feel about them.
<c0rnelius>
but yes, its a problem.
<stipa>
yeah, it's part of our environment
<stipa>
we live in
<stipa>
it's part of who we are

oh mirc

more programs need to launch with a picture of its developer
<lanefu>
should change armbian boot logo to just Igor
<DigitalMan1983_>
that would be awesome
<DigitalMan1983_>
you could do an ASCII Igor for the serial console :)
<lanefu>
yeah that would be killer

I held out hope for a long time that I'd be able to successfully rebuild the kernel for the RK3188

it came with kernel 3.0 which ran nicely but there were things that we needed to get at in that kernel configuration

On the side of my farther Western European, so yes there is some German in there. Although his farther immigrated from what would now be the Ukraine. On the other side "my Mother" I am a whole lot of other things, including Native American.

My parents are a bit old. So for shits and giggles I got my dad tested although I already knew what would back. 100% Jew! And you probably came from around here. It was actually kind of funny.
<c0rnelius>
He was just like that's all it says?
<stipa>
was he in banking industry?
<buZz>
was that the geneology service that got into the media for gifting all DNA to FBI etc?
<c0rnelius>
My father used to be an attorney. His father was a jeweler.

Have you ever heard of the Casanova killer?
<buZz>
rasputin?
<c0rnelius>
Well my dad is the man that that serial killer gave all his audio tapes to.
<TRS-80>
buZz: Which is why I will never use such service (among many other reasons). Too bad if any family members use it, they already have like 99% (or whatever) of your DNA already.
<TRS-80>

<buZz>
well, 99% of your DNA matches a banana :P
<buZz>
or at least >80%

yeah, why I said (or whatever) maybe it's more like 99.99 percent to family

There is a recent Documentary released and can be found on youtube, one in which they talk with my Pops on the subject.
<TRS-80>
oh wow

But to sum it up, he was given tapes, he put them in a safe and when the guy finally got busted he told the FBI my Pops had them. Him being a Lawyer said 'well I just can't hand them over to you' so the FBI went after him and went as far as locking up my Mother. At which point he then handed them over, as my Pops may be a dick he didn't want to of course see her in Jail for something that was of
<c0rnelius>
course out of her hands.

I have a lot of good stories from childhood because of my Pops doings and clients he had. Lets just say, it was very interesting :D
<TRS-80>
Tonymac32: i.e., ZFS?!

<Tonymac32>
Ja
<Tonymac32>
ZFS
<TRS-80>

<TRS-80>
performance will be much better, also this is what Matt Ahrens (one of inventors) recommend
<TRS-80>
I can dig up a source if you like
<TRS-80>
and disk are cheap nowadays
<Tonymac32>
no need, I've been reading
<TRS-80>
:)
<Tonymac32>
:D
* TRS-80
is not surprised
<TRS-80>
I read so much on ZFS last several years
<TRS-80>
I'm really excited to hear your (eventual) reports on Helios64 (for perhaps obvious reasons)
<TRS-80>
compression on (it's cheap), dedup off unless you want to use a lot of memory, etc.
<Tonymac32>
right
<Tonymac32>
At the moment it's sitting there bored whil accepting data from the old system
<[TheBug]>
TRS-80: what specific things are you wanting to know about Helio64, how zfs performance is? I have an 9 x 2TB mdadm raid5, w/ luksencryption + ext4 running on an RockPi 4c - 8 x by sata 1x by USB 3.0 (UAS)
<Tonymac32>
so I have high hopes for the performance (speed), and will watch the performance (error detection/correction)
<[TheBug]>
Runs sweeeet
<Tonymac32>
nice
<TRS-80>
Tonymac32: infact one of reason I was asking about 5.x kernel on ODROID is because some new changes in ZFS 0.7 (I think) may have done away with 64-bit hard requirement (although it's still unsupported) but needs newer kernel ofc
* Tonymac32
wishes [TheBug] would have brought this up sooner
<Tonymac32>
lol
<TRS-80>
[TheBug]: just general stuff, as I am direly in need of new NAS and comparing the various RK3399 platforms, mainly based on things we already talked about
<[TheBug]>
root@rockpi-4c:/storage# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=64k conv=fdatasync; unlink test
<Tonymac32>
so my Helios64 experience with the available download on the site: USB-C works as displayport and uart at least
<Tonymac32>
the buttons work (power/shutdown)
<TRS-80>
lanefu: That's neat, but the whole point is I want my donkey midget pr0n (and anarchist cookbook, etc.) here phsically on prem where the feds have to get a warrant and come see me to have a look
<Tonymac32>
the drive physical mounts felt like shoving a control rod into a nuclear reactor in a bad scifi
<[TheBug]>
TRS-80: then get RockPi 4c w/ the m.2 extender and then get a 20$ m.2 to pcie x4 adapter on Amazon for it. Then pretty much your choice of x2-x4 SATA controllers then you can get a 20$ 5-20v to PD 3.0/QC 3.0 adapter + molex to DC barrel adapter and then power board from inside a case.
<TRS-80>
then I can decide if I want to answer the door with words of just flying lead (but that's different discussion)
<Tonymac32>
however the drive vibration isolation is not very good, point against

<Tonymac32>
TRS-80 yeah I saw collapse-OS. Neat idea, but I question how much hardware really exists for that
<TRS-80>
> nerd dream crusher
<Tonymac32>
hahahahaha
<Tonymac32>
it needs to run on light dimmers and smart toasters at this point I think
<Tonymac32>
look at Nordic and Espressif things
<Tonymac32>
since none of these are going to survive an EMP anyway
<Tonymac32>
this only covers a soft collapse scenario
<Tonymac32>
now if you have a bunker and some rad hardened satellite 8086's...
<stipa>
there were few solar storms and none of them damaged anything on earh regarding electronics...
<stipa>
afaik
<Tonymac32>
well in the frame of reference of collapse OS it sin't about natural events
<Tonymac32>
this would be post nuclear exchange type stuff, for the optimistic prepper
<stipa>
that's, yeah another scenario
<stipa>
EMP weapons if there are any should cause some problems
<Tonymac32>
EMP weapons are simple
<Tonymac32>
very simple
<stipa>
if you can
<stipa>
for example
<stipa>
switch bits in an mcu flash
<TRS-80>
> not bootstrapping CollapseOS support into Armbian by the time of story AR-8999
<ArmbianHelper>
Detected regex match for Armbian issue: AR-8999. Could not find it on Jira though. :-(
<stipa>
with EMP weapon then i would beleive you
<TRS-80>
Soon enough, ArmbianHelper, soon enough
<Tonymac32>
switched bits could be correctible, burnt out I/O are not
<stipa>
burning pins is little to much
<stipa>
isn't it?
<Tonymac32>
not the pin itself, but the transistor drivers
<Tonymac32>
these things are all rated for a given ESD/overcurrent condition
<stipa>
that would be some very powerful EMP
<stipa>
it could burn people alive at the epicentre...
<stipa>
people and electronics :D
<stipa>
but in the tech world we'll be living soon EMP weapons will be very desirable.

hi there. can anybody tell me what device a usb webcam will appeawr under when attached? I'm finding it via lsusb, but not sure what device node it's attached to
<lanefu>
khelair: it may shop up as a v4l device, I can't remember.. sometimes listing /dev in reverse order is helpful to see what was recently added.. `ls -ltr /dev`
<khelair>
yeah the verbose information from lsusb and some of the other options aren't looking too useful, unless I just don't understand enough of the terminology for them to be of use at this point. there _is_ a v4l in dev recently, when I searched the reverse order listing in /dev
<khelair>
I'll check this linuxconfig.org doc, too. thanks for the help y'all
<TRS-80>
khelair: maybe try what lanefu suggested then, my suggestion was extremely general
<TRS-80>
oh sorry just read further, looks like you tried that, too
<stipa>
Tonymac32: so they are charging the capacitor with the explosive which then powers the EMP generator?
<TRS-80>

<khelair>
weird, now cheese isn't loading at all to test this out, it's terminating with libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found -- libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
<khelair>
apparently that's keeping it from forwarding the X connection, I guess
<khelair>
looking for web results on that, but I'm not finding a whole lot yet
<TRS-80>
khelair: Maybe try ##linux also? Or you think is Armbian / hardware specific?
<khelair>
from the webhits I'm starting to think that it's a Qt issue, actually, so I probably should hop over there, too
<khelair>
I _thought_ it was armbian specific until this detail came up :|
<nekomancer[m]>
armbian-driven EPFCG need more tests
<IgorPec>
which hardware khelair?
<khelair>
cubieboard2
<khelair>
or the camera?
<IgorPec>
aha, cubieboard
<khelair>
uh oh
<TRS-80>
Are you registered with nicserv? I think required to get into actual ##linux channel. If you end up in #linux-overflow, that's why.
<TRS-80>
lol
<khelair>
I am, yeah
<khelair>
I'll hop over there and cheggit
<TRS-80>
hopefully IgorPec just having fond memories :D
<IgorPec>
but why would you need GL for camera?
<lanefu>
cheese is like photo booth, maye it has some new unesseasry features for effects
<IgorPec>
true
<IgorPec>
and we only have GLes support not full GL
<IgorPec>
which could be the culprint
<lanefu>
khelair: also remote xforwarding probably not optimal for cheese.. not sure what your endgame is, but you may just want to point ffmpeg or vlc to camera directly and stream
<khelair>
I'm just testing it out right now to verify that it's working before setting it up with 'motion' to do its own work locally on the cubie and then to make the results visible via sftp or cifs or whatever.
<khelair>
I know I've streamed from one system to another over a similar wired LAN a streaming webcam before, though. I used to do it long term, too
<TRS-80>
khelair: I'd be interested in performance of motion on a cubieboard. I run it too, but on ODROID-XU4 which is a lot beefier.
<khelair>
cool, I'll keep ya posted soon as I figure out what's going on here. If nothing else I'll ditch cheese and do the albeit slightly more painful testing through motion pretty quick here
<khelair>
actually I may just start on that right away here. my comment to ##linux has already scrolled a 50-60+ line page with no responses
<[TheBug]>
IgorPec: yeah the one your original sent me as I mentioned before I ripped memory chip off while removing heatsink to replace with stock heatsink I ordered -- actually about to go out to the mailbox and see if the new on I ordered arrived today
<[TheBug]>
IgorPec: still intend to send it over to Tonymac32 to attempt to reflow the memory chip.. but whether it works again or not still up in air
<khelair>
this sucks, I really need to be able to run a standard webcam viewer in order to debug some things here. ugh
<khelair>
oh that's right you can do more via http m(

I don't recall motion being particularly troublesome. My setup was a bit different though (streaming from IP camera for processing on ODROID with motion). It's also been a little while, too...

Just curious if it can even handle one stream, honestly. lol
<TRS-80>
or, how many?
<TRS-80>
well, let's start with one... lol
<TRS-80>
also, glad to hear you got it going
<khelair>
oh it'll handle multiple streams without a problem it looks like
<khelair>
just rebooted the cubie now that I've got it in its final position, let me throw some info at you from there on the stream I'm snagging & cpu %
<khelair>
hold on a bit, I just wiped the configuration that I'd been struggling with so hard m(
<khelair>
anyway yeah it was running a 360x240 stream without any problems
<khelair>
never had it above 11% of the cpu
<[TheBug]>
anything greater than 480p will likely take a single core per camera, but lower resolutions you should be okay -- your talking about using 'motion' right?
<[TheBug]>
I had at one time setup 2 cameras with motion on my BPi A20 and that was my experience at least
<[TheBug]>
but they were also IP cameras, maybe having direct interface is more efficient
<TRS-80>
What [TheBug] is saying seems a bit more in line with recommendations I (now vaguely) recall and other convo I had on other forums about same. Also I think we were doing quite a bit higher res.
<TRS-80>
But hey, if it works and good enough for you, good on ya putting the old board back to work! :)
<[TheBug]>
exactly

so I'm working with actually 320x240 right now, viewing a stream through its little http server, dumping images and video to the SD card at times, and it's taking between 4 & 11 % of the cpu

well I will say this, the pic on their site shows it soldered on
<[TheBug]>
but thats just
<[TheBug]>
why the hell send me one board one way
<[TheBug]>
and the other another way
<TRS-80>
[TheBug]: Well you are dev, was it an early sample (the first one)?
<[TheBug]>
maybe but why change this when every RockPi form factor device has the module used
<[TheBug]>
so now I have extra modules I can't even use
<[TheBug]>
thats just perfect
<[TheBug]>
can only have 1 os on it now I guess
<[TheBug]>
and have too reflash it
<stipa>
how much gigs is it?
<TRS-80>
yeah that's less convenient
<[TheBug]>
well it completly breaks my intended use case for it
<[TheBug]>
like if I hadn't ordered this from china
<[TheBug]>
I would aleady be in the process of returning it
<stipa>
do you need to flash the emmc seperately?
<TRS-80>
you sound really disappointed, maybe it's worth returning anyway (although, I dunno, depending on terms)
<[TheBug]>
I bought extra emmc modules
<[TheBug]>
so I can switch between windows and linux and such without any issue
<stipa>
bummer
<TRS-80>
> Windows
<[TheBug]>
like I have 3 extra emmc modules for it that are now pointless
<TRS-80>
lost all sympathy :(
<[TheBug]>
its an x86 board TRS-80
<[TheBug]>
in case you didn't realize
<TRS-80>
as if that justifies it lol
<TRS-80>
but no, I did not
<TRS-80>
I was wondering... how the hell?
<[TheBug]>
yeah its an Atom x86 board
<[TheBug]>
in Pi form factor
<[TheBug]>
man now I am just thoroughly pissed at my self for ripping that memory module off the other one
<stipa>
they had to fuck it up
<TRS-80>
Oh yeah I stopped buying x86 hardware when they started putting backdoors in, lol
<[TheBug]>
this is just not a satisfying resolution at all
<TRS-80>
send Tony this one, don't say anything
<stipa>
[TheBug]: do you maybe see pins on the board that emmc slot adapter could be soldered on?
<stipa>
near the emmc
<archetech>
why I wont buy a rock anything they stink at simple things even
<[TheBug]>
no they solder the stupid thing on the spot where it would provde the connectors
<[TheBug]>
its stupid
<[TheBug]>
RockPi 4c is awesome
<[TheBug]>
I have 3, want a 4th, I like RockPi X in the original form factor, this is appauling to me because I had planned around that being modular so I could swap over the chip and go play emulated games with my niece here in a bit
<[TheBug]>
had looked forward to it
<[TheBug]>
but nope
<[TheBug]>
again though, really just mad at my self for mucking up the other one and then not noticing they show the emmc soldered in the pic on the site, I was stupid enough to 'assume'
<[TheBug]>
I just think that soldering the emmc on these boards makes it like 1/5th as useful as it was with the modular connector
<[TheBug]>
my main complain about AtomicPi was that very thing
<[TheBug]>
I have two of those as well, its not like they can't do the job, I wanted something in the smaller form factor on purpose
<[TheBug]>
where I could switch around the emmc as needed
<stipa>
[TheBug]: that's life
<stipa>
but i must admit, it looks like ou don0t have a lot of luck with rockpi X
<TRS-80>
stipa: What Armbian hardware you had in mind?
<stipa>
i have it, it's orangepi lite 2
<stipa>
it runs AP, pihole, DHCP, DNS...
<stipa>
now i need traffic QOS system
<TRS-80>
did you add second NIC somehow?
<stipa>
USB
<stipa>
USB NIC
<stipa>
and USB WIFI card, onboard wifi is not in use
<stipa>
i have usb3 hub
<stipa>
USB NIC is connected to the 4G modem
<TRS-80>
Well, raw CPU and memory blow the doors off router device, but it's not always about that. In this case we are talking about net throughtput which depend on lots of factors.
<[TheBug]>
stipa: yeah actually thats not even most annoying part, if you want UART console on it, you have to buy a special adapter that has a ribbon cable to another board that attaches on the bottom -- which they don't even sell
<[TheBug]>
:facepalm:
<TRS-80>
[TheBug]: what the actual F
<stipa>
i have it, i ca nshell in it over serial if i want.
<TRS-80>
well OK then lol
<[TheBug]>
you have a RockPi X?
<TRS-80>
So then it depends like how busses are arranged what the throughput will be like. And I know knothing about this particular device.
Hokedli has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
<stipa>
[TheBug]: orange pi lite 2
<[TheBug]>
ohh sorry I mixed into your convo, thanks for clarification
<lanefu>
how much bandwidth are you trying to QOS
<stipa>
2 Megabytes dwon and 40 megabytes up
<TRS-80>
Is your connection really async like that? Usually it's the other way around.
<stipa>
yeah, it's like that
<stipa>
4G
<TRS-80>
interesting
archetech has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
<stipa>
yeah
<stipa>
now its under megabyte
<stipa>
family is watching YT
<stipa>
HD 1080 probably
<stipa>
but on average Download is 2 Megabytes
<stipa>
upload around 5 MEgabytes
<stipa>
not 40, sorry TRS-80
<stipa>
it's 40 Mbs
<stipa>
i'll try to somehow get that scripts going...
<stipa>
got a lot to learn about OSI Layer 2
archetech has joined #armbian
<stipa>
for ingress shaping sqm-scripts sets up an IFB device. Not again!
<stipa>
again an IFB module that doesen't exist when compiling current armbian kernel...
<stipa>
"please don't run a kernel that is not a currently released version, longterm or current"
<TRS-80>
why what is your kernel?
<stipa>
i have compiled and iso image
<stipa>
wait a moment, i have to start a VM with Ubuntu
<stipa>
it has not IFB module, but the legacy iso has it
<stipa>
root
<TRS-80>
so add the module?
<TRS-80>
or it's only available on legacy?
<stipa>
yeah, i would add it but it's not there
<TRS-80>
ok
<stipa>
it's in the config file
<TRS-80>
well, maybe legacy is on LTS kernel (if you are lucky)?
<[TheBug]>
TRS-80: I am pretty sure same revision to answer your questions from earlier, but yes the other one was sent as a dev device, so maybe it was a choice made specifically for dev boards -- I actually e-mailed one of the reps from Raxda to mention my disatisfaction with that and a few other items I had to ask about.
<stipa>
that is what i compiled, IFB is selected to be compiled as a module but it's not there when compiled
<TRS-80>
stipa: I do not even see legacy kernel for Opi Lite 2 for Armbian
<TRS-80>
[TheBug]: Well hopefully you get some answers. At least you are in a position to do so (somewhat).
<stipa>
TRS-80: i'll send you some screenshots, just a sec
<stipa>
TRS-80: i'm going one more time, hmmm, things are different then last time, but yeah i have the option to choose "legacy" https://ibb.co/Swbv2zb
<stipa>
and i also compiled image once without a probelm
<stipa>
using legacy option
<TRS-80>
did it say what kernel?
<TRS-80>
I mean bersion?
<TRS-80>
version, even
<stipa>
5.7.4 ?
<stipa>
maybe
<TRS-80>
legacy is?
<stipa>
maybe
<TRS-80>
that would mean it's pretty damn close to mainline
<stipa>
its 5.x.x for sure
<stipa>
i wiped the card
<stipa>
and the compiled image,
<stipa>
but it's 5.x.x
<stipa>
less than 5.8x
<TRS-80>
Yeah I was looking up LTS releases, but that's no longer necessary.
