01:18 < aestetix> how is it looking

05:42 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
05:42 <@Dolemite> I see we still have millions of racist fucktards in this country
05:42  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
05:43 < aestetix> Dolemite: do you mean trump voters or biden voters :p
05:44 < aestetix> because IMHO they are both terrible
06:02 <@Dolemite> Well I guess I'm terrible, then
06:12 < aestetix> You are. You should have voted for yourself.
06:12 < aestetix> I think any self respecting citizen voted for Dolemite
06:57 <@eryc> did you vote aestetix
07:12 <@Mirage> we need a repeat of this w/ Trump since he's already claiming victory.  https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna26661213

07:12 <@Dolemite> And in a perfect image of Election 2020, this early morning I was woken up with a burning in my lungs, as the stench made its way into my CPAP.   The dog apparently chased a skunk and got sprayed when my wife took him out (she stays up much later than me).   She either didn't notice that he still reeked of skunk or DGAF at the time, but he likes to burrow up under me for warmth.
07:12 <@Dolemite> So now the bed is going to reek as well
07:13 <@Dolemite> I've also decided to simply unfriend everybody on Facebook that gloats about whoever wins this election - no matter what side wins
07:13 <@Dolemite> I'm done with all this "in your face!" attitude with politics
07:17 <@Evilpig> Dolemite: I've got a few that i've had to cut ties with as well.  Just purely toxic
07:19 <@Evilpig> Dagmar: as family has been coming to me for computer issues i've been replacing their ancient stuff with these.  https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/desktops-and-all-in-ones/thinkcentre/m-series-tiny/c/M-Series-Tiny

07:20 < aestetix> Dolemite: why not just delete your facebook?
07:20 <@Evilpig> get it off amazon for a couple hundred, has everything installed and licensed.  boot em up, set them up, add in remote support options, then ship em off
07:21 <@Evilpig> having a vpn to my dad's house with a vnc server running on his desktop has saved me countless hours of frustration.  he texts with problems like "I can't get the trash to empty" and i just open my link to his desktop and clear it right in front of him
07:29 <@Dolemite> aestetix: Because I still have plenty of good things on my feed and am able to easily maintain relationships through the communication provided there.
07:32 < aestetix> But you also have to see political crap
07:34 <@Dolemite> I also have to see political crap when watching live television, but it's not enough to keep me from isolating myself from that, either.
07:35 <@Dolemite> Or when I go out I might see a billboard for a fucknut politician.   That's not going to keep me in the house more.
07:37 <@eryc> 65% voter turnout

07:41 <@Mirage> OK, something's not lining up here.   Supposedly from Nov 2...but on the page it says 2018.   So is the news feed wonky or is it a typo on the page?

08:12 <@Evilpig> Mirage: looks like a glitch in the matrix
08:19 <@Dolemite> Ugh, I may have to put a GPU in my proxmox box and see about passing it through to Plex.   Got a Fire TV Stick 4K during Prime Day, but didn't realize it has a known but - it can't play 1080i MPEG2 streams, which is what a lot of the local OTA broadcast stations transmit in.
08:19 <@Dolemite> So the fix is to transcode the video to 720p
08:19 <@Evilpig> I have a few spare older gpus if you want one i'll ship it
08:20 <@Dolemite> I have one that should work
08:22 <@Mirage> Dolemite:  If you have an NVIDIA GPU.. download and build ffmpeg with "--prefix=/usr/local/ --extra-libs=-ldl --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --arch=x86_64 --enable-libfdk_aac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libnpp --extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/cuda/include --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/cuda/lib64 --enable-cuda --enable-cuvid --enable-nvenc --enable-cuda-nvcc"
08:24 <@Mirage> https://pastebin.pl/view/99fb1bda
08:24 < PigBot> /usr/local/sbin/reencode.sh - Pastebin (at pastebin.pl)
08:24 <@Dolemite> Does it use ffmpeg for the transcoding?   I thought it used its own.
08:25 <@Evilpig> it has it's own.  but you can use ffmpeg to do after recording transcoding with a script
08:25 <@Mirage> I use ffmpeg to reencode everything, i don't use plex for that
08:25 <@Dolemite> No, I need on the fly transcoding
08:26 <@Evilpig> Dolemite: I have three of these sitting on a shelf if it would be an upgrade.  https://www.zotac.com/lk/product/graphics_card/gtx480
08:26 < PigBot> 503 <!DOCTYPE HTML>
08:26 <@Mirage> I just run "find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec /usr/local/sbin/reencode.sh -f "{}" \;" against the directory I download stuff to and then don't have to worry about transcoding because it's all at 720p when plex gets it
08:27 <@Dolemite> I need to look at what I have.   I think what's in a box is a newer ATI based one.
08:27 <@Dagmar> He only has "Mirage-sized" TVs
08:27 <@Evilpig> k.  option is there. 
08:27 <@Dolemite> I need to see how well it's supported in Linux, though
08:28 <@Evilpig> since my plex is running on centos7 I just installed the cuda stuff from their repo and it's been working solidly
08:28 <@Mirage> Dagmar: what's "Mirage-sized"?  I have a 60" in the Living room and all the 720p stuff looks fine on it.
08:29 <@Dagmar> Once stuff
08:29 <@Mirage> And I don't have to worry about buffering and bitching from my FireTV stick or the mini-itx box that serves as my plex server
08:29 <@Dagmar> Once stuff's in my house, I'm not downscaling it to 720p
08:30 <@Dagmar> I have Chromecasts and Rokus and a 65" Sammy smart TV.  None of these things have problems with 1080p or 1080i
08:30 <@Mirage> I rather enjoy that all those ginormous BluRay rips wind up only taking up a bit over a gig
08:32 <@Mirage> I got the ethernet adaptor for the FireTV before reading the fine print on it and was very dissapointed that it only supports 100Bt, so it's slower than wireless 802.11ac
08:32 <@Dolemite> It's more reliable, though
08:33 <@Dolemite> I replaced a Gen1 Chromecast which had problems with 1080p content
08:33 <@Mirage> Yeah.  I think the 4k one actually has gig.  once I get a drop there instead of running a wire along the floor like I did for testing I might upgrade
08:33 <@Dolemite> I also had a Gen1 Roku on that tv (master br) and it couldn't play Live TV from Plex
08:33 <@Dagmar> Well, it wasn't the 1080 so much as it was the total bandwidth
08:34 <@Dolemite> Yeah, OTA is truly a firehose of streaming bits
08:34 <@Dagmar> They used to have a guide up that listed specifically what the encoder settings should be set to, but definitely noticed they weren't kidding if you went past 2200k/s or whatever it was the thing would chunk and stumble a bit
08:35 <@Mirage> regardless, I still hate keeping around 40G movies files that don't look _that_ much better than the re-encoded 720p ones that are a fraction of the size
08:36 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Of course, the Plex page on hardware acceleration only mentions NVidia, while the Windows version shows compatibility with both NVidia and AMD/ATI.
08:37 <@Dolemite> So I may be taking you up on your offer
08:37 <@Dagmar> Most of my 1080 encodes are somewhere between 2-6Gb
08:37 <@Dagmar> h265 takes an age but it's pretty aggressive
08:37 <@Dolemite> It's possible that my spare card is NVidia.   I have to dig into some totes in the bedroom, which currently reeks of skunk-sprayed-dog.

08:59 <@Dolemite> Welp, the server I have the VM running on currently is a 1U with no standard expansion slots.   I have another, though, with 2U, which is what I'll need for this card I have.
09:00 <@Mirage> Driving me kind of nuts how most of the news outlets thave been reporting the fact that a few states will be counting votes for the next few days that were postmarked for election day and are now struggling to "call it" and being frustrated about states that haven't finished their counts.
09:07 <@Dagmar> Well, you know Trump already declared himself the victor last night, despite behind very behind in the counts
09:07 <@Dagmar> I say we go ahead and eat him
09:08 <@brimstone> Vermin Supreme declared himself the winner last week
09:08 <@brimstone> boots on heads, not necks
09:08 <@Dagmar> I'd honestly take him over Trump
09:09 <@Dagmar> He shows signs of thinking about what he says before he says it
09:09 <@Dagmar> This is more than I can say for Trump
09:09 <@Dagmar> ...which is a _very_ sad state of affairs.
09:09 <@_NSAKEY> Imagine being so bad that you put Texas back into play.
09:09 <@Dagmar> yeah I am kind of laughing about htat one
09:10 <@Dagmar> Like, Texas is normally so red the sky shoudln't even be blue
09:10 <@_NSAKEY> He could have easily cruised to re-election if his psychological defects hadn't prevented him from willfully botching the coronavirus response. It would be like W and 9/11. But no.
09:10 <@brimstone> Texas is has-their-own-power-grid red

09:25 <@Dolemite> Need to see if I have an even older NVidia card laying around, ideally a GT 710
10:02 <@Dolemite> And in other stupid election news, North Dakota elected a guy that died from COVID-19 last month.
10:15 <@dasunt> I saw that.
10:35 <@Evilpig> the dead red guy doesn't want my guns!
10:40 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: or to kill my hypothetical umborn babies

10:47 <@Evilpig> we'll deal with those like we've always done.  she has an accident and falls down a flight of stairs.
10:48 <@Dolemite> and lands on a coat hanger?
