| Azelphur | popey: do you want my updated script? it's so much better | 00:19 |
| Azelphur | if you have Python on your router it should work | 00:20 |
| popey | its ddwrt | 00:20 |
| Azelphur | I think you have opkg on there and can install Python? | 00:20 |
| popey | I wont have a chance to for a while, I'll ping you when I have some time to, thanks | 00:20 |
| Azelphur | sure :) | 00:20 |

| isleofmandan | Any broadcom wireless experts around? We've got a clean install of 15.04 but no wifi, and another ubuntu machine nearby that has internet access. We have a USB stick.... ;) | 16:08 |
| MartijnVdS | isleofmandan: easiest would be a USB ethernet dongle to install packages ;) | 16:17 |
| MartijnVdS | isleofmandan: anyway, install this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/admin/broadcom-sta-dkms | 16:18 |
| isleofmandan | Thanks.. Just hooked up a phone with USB tethering | 16:18 |
| MartijnVdS | (download, dpkg -i, download dependencies, dpkg -i, repeat until done) | 16:18 |
| MartijnVdS | oh then it's easier | 16:19 |
| MartijnVdS | just install broadcom-sta-dkms | 16:19 |
| isleofmandan | I need a 4G phone.. lol | 16:20 |
| MartijnVdS | they have 4G on the isle? :P | 16:20 |
| isleofmandan | They do. My phone doesn't :) | 16:21 |
| neuro | they have electricity and running water too!! | 16:21 |
| isleofmandan | cheeky | 16:21 |
| neuro | i was being sarky at martijn, not you ;) | 16:21 |
| isleofmandan | Boo. "Bad return status for module build..." What's that all about then? | 16:23 |
| isleofmandan | doing the old 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' on a 3G phone is sloooow :) | 16:32 |
| brobostigon | i have some good news, i just asked my gf what she would say if i were to ask her to be my wife, and she said, "it would be amazing to be your wife and to be yours someday". :) | 16:57 |
| isleofmandan | Thanks for the help folks. We're getting kicked out of CodeClub now. He'll have to struggle by on his own! | 16:57 |
| isleofmandan | congrats brobostigon. When is some day? ;) | 16:57 |
| brobostigon | ty, :). it means sometime undetermined time in the future. | 16:58 |
| brobostigon | some undetermined time* | 16:58 |

| shauno | finally, doctor who :) | 18:43 |
| penguin42 | we've got some swifts or swallows on a field near here; they're *way* too fast to focus on though - how the heck do you tell what they are | 19:12 |
| zleap | look at the wings, | 19:16 |
| ali1234 | catch it in a big net | 19:16 |
| zleap | i think you can tell by the wing shape or something, try a bird ID guide it may have a siloette of each so you can tell | 19:17 |
| penguin42 | will have to try getting the speed on his camera really really fast | 19:18 |
| penguin42 | so far my only way of getting any pictures of them is to focus on one point in the field and take a rapid succession of images and hope that one or two of them have the bird in | 19:19 |
| foobarry | has anyone tried converting ogg->mp3 ? | 20:34 |
| foobarry | wonder what the quality reduction is like? | 20:34 |
| foobarry | in the past i converted half my collection to ogg until i realised it wasn' the future | 20:34 |
| foobarry | never had the resolve to get the CDs out of the boxes and re rip | 20:35 |
| shauno | I'd think it depends how anal you were about the original rips. eg, if you've done them all at 320, then ogg-320 to mp3-256 probably isn't going to hurt enough to worry about | 20:38 |
| shauno | (unless you've been blessed with golden ears, and require audio equipment made from unicorn tears and pixie farts) | 20:39 |
| shauno | if you've already done them at some approximation of "normal", then normal minus loss = subar. but if they're already overkill, overkill minus loss = normal (in the vaguest possible terms) | 20:40 |
| shauno | otherwise, just try it on something that you think you'd notice the difference on, and "suck it and see" | 20:40 |
| shauno | er, *sub-par | 20:41 |
| penguin42 | shauno: Well you've got to connect the pixie farts on the amp end, and the unicorn tears to the speakers | 20:41 |
| shauno | it's more just a generic disclaimer, because there's "always one", and he'll want your blood for even uttering "transcode" | 20:47 |
| foobarry | ogg didn't do bitrates as i remember | 20:48 |
| foobarry | not the same way as mp3 | 20:48 |
| foobarry | i mean, the program had "level 6" etc | 20:48 |
| foobarry | a bit like some other encoiding apps | 20:48 |
| shauno | yeah, but they're pretty direct parallels. q4 is 128, q8 is 256, q9 is 320 | 20:49 |
| foobarry | btw whats a good ripping app for linux? | 20:50 |
| * penguin42 uses k3b | 20:50 | |
| foobarry | rhythmbox and other g* ones suck | 20:50 |
| foobarry | they broke some time ago | 20:50 |
| shauno | I'll deferr on that one. I still do everything with brutally ugly bash scripts | 20:50 |
| foobarry | paranoia? | 20:50 |
| shauno | or worse. I've been known to use php5-cli where sane people would call for python :D | 20:51 |
| foobarry | q6? 192? | 20:51 |
| shauno | bingo | 20:51 |
| foobarry | wonder if i can go from 192 ogg to 192 mp3 without crying | 20:52 |
| foobarry | flicking channels. not sure i've ever seen a nick cage film | 20:52 |
| * penguin42 has watched Con Air and hmm one or two others | 20:53 | |
| * penguin42 generally doesn't like him that much | 20:54 | |
| foobarry | nope | 20:54 |
| foobarry | seems lame | 20:54 |
| foobarry | right, bed time. nighty | 20:54 |
| penguin42 | nn | 20:54 |
| * foobarry spots a story about eejit who ate 35 biagra | 20:54 | |
| foobarry | v* | 20:54 |
| daftykins | ooh-err | 20:55 |
| * penguin42 heard about that, how exactly did he end up taking 35 | 20:55 | |
| daftykins | i sense that doesn't end with a comical 'mood' lasting days | 20:55 |
| shauno | ugh, this flirc dongle is .. naughty words. | 20:58 |
| daftykins | ah i see folk acquire those things in #kodi i think | 21:00 |
| shauno | I didn't realise it just pretends it's a keyboard | 21:01 |
| shauno | would really, really prefer something that just uses lirc | 21:01 |
| daftykins | ah i was thinking it was the CEC thing | 21:03 |
| shauno | argh. pulling hair out trying to figure out how to get the harmony remote working with flirc | 22:35 |
| daftykins | nothing on the Kodi forums? | 22:57 |
| shauno | yes. pages and pages of conflicting nonsense | 23:00 |
| daftykins | ah par for the course then :D | 23:01 |
| shauno | it keeps saying to just search harmony for 'kodi' as a built-in profile | 23:01 |
| shauno | except harmony requires a brand and a model, so you can't search for a single word | 23:01 |
| daftykins | manufacturer Flirc apparently | 23:02 |
| daftykins | i take it that's not listed? | 23:02 |
| shauno | searching for kodi as both model & brand gave me an MCE profile, which doesn't work with flirc because the rc6 protocl adds huge, huge delays | 23:03 |
| shauno | I tried the profile that comes up if you search for flirc as both mffr & model, but you then can't program it into the flirc dongle | 23:03 |
| shauno | because it sets up play/pause/prev/next as media keys which I can't disable, so they go to itunes instead of flirc's app | 23:03 |
| shauno | right now it's like .. everything. all at once, everything is conspiring against me. divided, they're just silly issues. together, they'll beat me | 23:05 |
| daftykins | i feel a bit like that lately, i think everything electrical in my house has some issue or another | 23:05 |
| shauno | I'm not sure why I'm even bothering, since I have to replace the flirc thing to eventually achieve what I want anyway | 23:06 |
| shauno | I want to send some buttons on the remote to a background process, so having it act as a keyboard works against me | 23:07 |
| penguin42 | what keys on the keyboard does it work as ? | 23:11 |
| penguin42 | shauno: You can probably also watch the events from that specific input device separately as well | 23:12 |
| shauno | the keys are configurable in the flirc app | 23:14 |
| penguin42 | well I mean what does the device send if it acts as a HID device | 23:15 |
| shauno | so like, you press Enter in the app, and then press a button on the remote. and then every time you press that button, it sends Enter | 23:15 |
| shauno | hm. and the skin I've been using for years has gone full-metal-idiot too. gah | 23:27 |
| shauno | so simple enough story. I'm trying to move from xbmc ... 11? I think on my 1st-gen appletv, to kodi on the pi | 23:32 |
| shauno | *only* because the appletv just doesn't have the horsepower, so I've been transcoding everything into its native format for years | 23:32 |
| shauno | so most the reason everything feels exceptionally frustrating, is that it's all things I've already had working for years | 23:33 |
| shauno | like right now, I'm stuck in a dialogue box where I can't seem to navigate to the 'ok' button | 23:33 |
| shauno | just going round and round in circles wanting 11 back | 23:33 |
