02:14 <@jb7od> I knew about 'binaural beats' as far as trying to raise your state and meditating, but obviously got a really hippie-dippy take on the subject- did not know all this (except some unrelated disparate bits) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOFq3ruef7I

02:16 <@jb7od> (well, the hologram thing is eerily relevant from a differnet lane)
02:20 <@jb7od> It's about to be explained that black holes voxelate you, they don't spagettify you (and I will not miss the term). If you were Godmode and ran gravity backwards, a black hole would barf up everything intact, unlike time. 
02:20 <@jb7od> voxelize I guess rather, just death to spagettification- idgaf. 
02:26 <@jb7od> this is how they're saying we're going to get around the 'information cannot be destroyed' bit- the surface of a black hole increases as it eats, but on it's surface, this crazy pattern emerges that looks like insane amounts of wave interferance, the waves of which represent yet further matricies out of the voxels- 
02:28 <@jb7od> but there's problems- at least with holograms- say you break one in two, you get two slightly degraded ones- and now there's some loss (to the observer)

10:22 <@Dagmar> jb7od: Dude, just imagine the guy is wearing a tinfoil hat with an AM loop as a crown and you'll be prepared for the level of "information" being given out there
10:23 <@Dagmar> Anyone talking about "information from the CIA" that isn't citing the CIA World Factbook is usually fucking insane.
10:24 <@Mirage> Playing with ffmpeg settings and doing comparisons trying to detemine what settings give me the best pic w/ the least footprint.  The way to go seems to be NOT specifying any target bitrate and just letting ffmpeg figure it out using vbr.   Side by side my wife and I can't tell the difference between "Alita: Battle Angel" 4k/22g vs 1080/2.2g.   Previously I'd specified a target bitrate (based on what all 
10:24 <@Mirage> the docs say) and it gave me a 1080/5.4g file.   
10:25 <@Mirage> Trying the same with cbr gave me a 1080/9.5g file that also didn't have any differences visually that we could see.
10:25 <@Mirage> This was comparing realtime on two screens at the same time and in sync with each other.
10:35 <@Dagmar> Variable rate is always the way to go with non-streamed assets
10:36 < Evilpig> vbr is some type of miracle blackbox woder framerate
10:37 < Evilpig> that seems to be what takes the most time to figure when doing the cpu rendering but it's worked really well for me
10:40 <@Mirage> Dagmar: yeah, but whne you specify a target bitrate they both come out about the same size...which is where I was screwing up thanks to the fact that damn near every doc/guide/post gives a guideline of target bitrates for each resolution and qauality targeted
10:43 <@Mirage> Evilpig: magic is right.  I doing everything with cuda hevc_nvenc.
10:43 <@Mirage> er, I'm
10:44 < Evilpig> I'm still just usind that for decoding.  the encoder just adds too much artifacting 
10:44 < Evilpig> and when it doesn't the file sizes aren't near what the cpu can hit
10:44 <@Dolemite> yeah, that's what disappointed me about using CUDA - massive artifacting on the transcodes
10:45 < Evilpig> I know why it does it, it's just disappointing
10:45 < Evilpig> you gotta get the speed from somewhere and quality is victim
10:45 <@Mirage> Some of the files that are 264 have to be software decoded and then hardware encoded..but for the most part everything does fine w/ hardware only
10:47 < Evilpig> Mirage: I assume you got my text this morning?
10:47 <@Mirage> Saw the one last night.  Already snagged them.
10:49 <@Mirage> My old copies were terrible.  I've been trying to replace old avi's w/ newer myself.  Was kind of suprised you didn't have all the good/decent Blood oriented stuff since you have that utter shit live action version.
10:49 < Evilpig> I have no explanation for some of the stuff I have

10:51 <@Dolemite> Did you see where Pantheon has now been cancelled by AMC?
10:51 < Evilpig> the only thing I can say to some of it is "someone added it"
10:51 < Evilpig> I didn't, but not surprising
10:51 <@Mirage> I saw that...haven't watched it, though
10:51 < Evilpig> I enjoyed it, so of course it was nuked

10:58 < Evilpig> back to my problem of the day.  how to get sssd to authenticate to an ldap source when the dn has spaces in it.
10:59 <@Mirage> Thinking I might upgrade my old Ryzen 2700 to a 5700x.  Prices are pretty good right now.  Don't really think that it's worth it cost/cooling wise to go with a 5800x3d.  
11:00 <@Mirage> Both are 8c-16t, the cache is lower on the 5700, but the speeds are the same...and the 5700 is 65w vs 105w.
11:01 <@Mirage> I've leaned toward the 65w procs for a while now because the performance difference just isn't worth it to me.
11:02 < Evilpig> I should look at upgrading my proxmox server this summer to something similar.  I've got this new gen13 i7 on my desk and the thing is stupid fast in comparison
11:05 <@Mirage> I keep pondering upgrading my video, but the old 1060-6g I have still does everything I want it to do just fine
11:34 <@Mirage> Reencoding is remarkably slower w/ these new settings on some things.  Normally I was running 400+ fps.  So far it's been ranging from 160-300 fps.  Current file is leaning toward the bottom end of that.  
11:35 -!- ShellGh0st [~feihung@gateway/tor-sasl/shellgh0st] has joined #se2600
11:37 <@Mirage> Of course this is all being done on a VM w/ 4 cores and 8g memory...but of course that shouldn't matter THAT much since I'm largely doing hardware encoding.
11:39 <@Mirage> Honestly I haven't seen much differnence in performance between the VM and the physical box I had before that was 6c-12t, 32g ram.
11:52 <@Mirage> Next file ran 284 fps and the current is doing 291 fps.  
12:06 < Evilpig> why the fuck did express scripts just call me to remind me to take my medicine and suggest that I put a note next to my toothbrush to associate the two actions?!
12:09 <@Mirage> I got fed up w/ CVS calling me to remind me to refill when I wasn't more than maybe half-way through a prescription..then when I selected "no" to them refilling they'd do it anyway and then start bugging me that I needed to go pick it up.
12:42 < Evilpig> these clowns
12:42 < Evilpig> I finally got logged into their site.  they're having dnssec validation problems and all their shit is borked
13:41 <@Dagmar> That's because hypervisors used by responsible adults have fairly negligible overhead

13:49 <@Mirage> Meeting just popped up on my calendar titled "2212220030001773".  Don't guess they expected me to even consider joining.
14:50 <@Mirage> Evilpig: oh, nice...you got the dubbed ones.  My old ones were subs
14:51 < Evilpig> I got you the dual language ones
14:51 < Evilpig> and I went in and set the signs and songs tracks to default too
14:51 <@Mirage> Not when my encoding gets done w/ them.  =P
14:51 < Evilpig> so it should default to english with sutitles for the signs and songs
14:53 <@Mirage> My script auto selects the highest eng audio and any eng subs only.
14:54 <@Mirage> Was watching the Blood C movie and of course when it got to a part w/ nudity the wife walks in and asks what I'm watching
14:54 < Evilpig> that blood movie doesn't have any english tracks, technically
14:54 < Evilpig> did you have pants on?
14:55 <@Mirage> yeah...but still.
14:55 < Evilpig> then you're good.  lol

15:08 < Evilpig> Why discontinue PayPal?
15:08 < Evilpig> Why invest time and effort to remove a payment option? 🤔
15:08 < Evilpig> Simply said, PayPal created friction for our users and ourselves by rare technical glitches aggravated by the unavailability and incompetence of their support.
15:09 <@Dagmar> I don't think the slasher movies are really even trying very hard anymore
15:09 <@Dagmar> I mean, that name is definitely a "phoned it in" kind of thing

15:12 <@Dagmar> X-Change is a great example.  There's a scene they cut because it was just gratuitous nudity, and it's almost the only cut they did

15:51 < Evilpig> I have a new phrase for dealing with this shitty pharmacy company
15:51 < Evilpig> "can you read me the notes that you have in the system for my account?"
15:52 <@Dolemite> You're still having issues?  Damn.
15:52 < Evilpig> every person I have talked to has supposedly put "notes" in the system for this or that and I have yet to have one that can read me back any notes
15:52 < Evilpig> this last chick asked me when I called in so she could look.  and I told her TWO HOURS AGO
15:52 <@Dolemite> I guess I just have low expectation for them to begin with and move on
15:52 <@Dolemite> You're trying to transfer your prescriptions, though, right?
15:52 < Evilpig> I drove to my doctor's office today to have a new script put in
15:53 < Evilpig> they did it while I was sitting there
15:53 < Evilpig> then I get this email from the pharmacy  "Hi Wilbur, your order will be delivered by 01/18/2023."
15:53 < Evilpig> so I call them up to make sure that they change that to overnight and get it here this week
15:53 < Evilpig> this bitch tells me "sir it's a new prescription and will take up to 7 days to get into the system"
15:54 < Evilpig> this place is getting close to my comcast level of frustration that can only be solved with chains ont he doors and a tragic building fire that nobody escapes
15:55 <@Dolemite> Why not just stick with your local pharmacy?
15:55 < Evilpig> that's the rest of it
15:55 < Evilpig> vandy is supposedly in network despite their 
15:56 <@Dolemite> oiy vey
16:00 < Evilpig> oh yeah that revelation was new today and also why they could see the prescription at vanderbilt and yet still couldn't use it
16:01 < Evilpig> the chick this morning told me the script was a 28 day and not the 90 day and they would refuse to fill it based on that too if the one tha twas supposedly faxed on friday ever got processed
16:01 < Evilpig> I just about blew my top earlier before driving to the doctor's office and having them resubmit the script while I was sitting there explaining to them everything that had happened including their inability to answer the damned phone!

16:23 <@Dagmar> Partly because after I've had a drink or two I'll look up what it costs to get a switch that can handle hte 2.5Gb ethernet 
16:23 <@Dagmar> I'm also kind of interested to see this in action: "Flash BIOS Button lets users flash the BIOS even without a CPU or memory"
16:24 <@Dagmar> Also has two m.2 slots
16:24 <@Mirage> I like the expansion on mine.. 3 x16's is nice.
16:24 <@Dagmar> I just need the one for the extra SATA ports
16:25 <@Mirage> Check the docs on it if you're going to use 2 m.2's.  On my x470's the slots can do both nvme and sata, but on the second one it will either disable a pcie x16 slot for nvme or the 1st sata port if sata
16:26 <@Mirage> So I have an nvme in the 1st and a sata in the 2nd.
16:26 <@Dagmar> Oof...  I definitely stared at too many specs.  The thing doesn';t have 2.5Gb ethernet
16:26 <@Dagmar> Oh well
16:26 <@Dagmar> I definitely don't need it
16:26 <@Mirage> learned that lesson the hard way and had to swap the second drive from an nvme to a sata
16:27 <@Dagmar> Not sure it'll impact this since the first one is connected directly to the processor and th second one is connected to the chipset
16:27 <@Dagmar> Either way I am just keeping options open there.  I don't intend to populate the second m.2 anytime soon
