10:24 Techrights-sec; TR shows up high in the search results for the talk and the FSF still
10:24 Techrights-sec; has not published it anywhere , or at least no where easily found
10:25 schestowitz-TR; I mostly ignore search engine because loyal readers are a lot more important then someone clicking
10:25 schestowitz-TR; something and maybe pressing back
10:25 schestowitz-TR; yesterday you and I debated what to do about sites that become SEO spamfarms
10:25 schestowitz-TR; "Foss Linux" seems to be heading in a bad direction too

15:44 schestowitz-TR; draft
15:44 schestowitz-TR; my impression after a few weeks with kde neon is not all good
15:44 schestowitz-TR; I can see things I don't like as well
15:44 schestowitz-TR; it feels like "rolling release"
15:44 schestowitz-TR; and therefore I can spot some rougher edges
15:44 schestowitz-TR; maybe for a hobby guy like daemonfc it's OK
15:44 schestowitz-TR; but I end up wasting lots of time trying to 'fix' things
15:44 Techrights-sec; ack
15:44 Techrights-sec; the whole distro has to be rolling then
15:46 schestowitz-TR; it also reminds me of windows in the sens that it wants a reboot to install
15:46 schestowitz-TR; the system updates
15:46 schestowitz-TR; and does not want me to run apt-get upgrade
15:46 schestowitz-TR; this seems like a regression to me
15:46 schestowitz-TR; but I assume they want a whole new image to boot each time
15:46 schestowitz-TR; I did not research this properly
15:48 schestowitz-TR; vlc was causing some issues
15:48 schestowitz-TR; and now webcamoid
15:48 schestowitz-TR; installing updates takes a long time
15:48 schestowitz-TR; I'm OK with it as long as it's not "truly" my mkain machine
15:48 schestowitz-TR; but maybe one for storage of files
15:48 schestowitz-TR; and music, some browsing etc.
15:58 Techrights-sec; ack
16:01 schestowitz-TR; don't get me wrong,. I put all the essensial data like email on there and usually I don't change machines
16:01 schestowitz-TR; immediately
16:01 schestowitz-TR; I still do file editing, over ssh, from the "old" machine, vonick
16:01 schestowitz-TR; I also check system error messages to assure myself nothing crazy is hapening
16:01 schestowitz-TR; that OS will soon run out of official support
16:01 schestowitz-TR; KDE neon has very cutting edge packages
16:01 Techrights-sec; ack
16:01 schestowitz-TR; I would rather records on there as the camera is of better quality
16:01 schestowitz-TR; copying across files for processing to the other machine takes only a few seconds
16:01 schestowitz-TR; about a week ago the microphone no longer worked properly
16:02 schestowitz-TR; so I set that aside and used the other one in the meantime
16:02 schestowitz-TR; after this update (read) reboot) I hope it'll be back to normal
16:02 schestowitz-TR; I wasted a lot of time trying to 'fix' it
16:11 schestowitz-TR; on the upside, this past night tuxmachines had no issues
16:11 schestowitz-TR; no downtime and the backups seem fine, I check every 12 hours
16:11 schestowitz-TR; I did not test gunzip on them
16:11 schestowitz-TR; I will do in a moment on TR
16:11 schestowitz-TR; weirdly enoughn the gzip file on archives/tm*, for yesterday, is failing
16:11 schestowitz-TR; I tried all sorts gunzip and gzip -d
16:11 schestowitz-TR; the one from a day earlier (04-12) works OK
16:11 schestowitz-TR; when extracted it is 1.62gb
16:11 schestowitz-TR; AAA
16:11 schestowitz-TR; another dump will come there soon
16:11 schestowitz-TR; I eill test it

16:23 Techrights-sec; ok
16:38 schestowitz-TR; I still cannot fix the microphone+noisetorch, even after updates
16:38 schestowitz-TR; but maybe it can work out for the better as I want to try obs studio
16:40 Techrights-sec; I'm mostly unfamiliar with sound. I can only make the vague recommendation
16:40 Techrights-sec; to try to get each voice on a separate channel and then use Audacity or a fork
16:40 Techrights-sec; to do noise reduction.
16:40 Techrights-sec; My (mis-)understanding is that a lot of people do the audio in Audacity or a
16:40 Techrights-sec; fork and then fold that in with the video recordings using Kdenlive, after
16:40 Techrights-sec; having captured the video with OBS. Thus one of the reasons for clapping once
16:40 Techrights-sec; at the start.
16:40 Techrights-sec; That facilitates synchronizing the sound and the video.
16:42 schestowitz-TR; such a process would certainly take a lot more time
16:42 schestowitz-TR; webcamoid managed to simplify a lot of stuff
16:42 schestowitz-TR; I am not entirely sure why, just roughly when, the input
16:42 schestowitz-TR; stopped working
16:42 Techrights-sec; Yes many (nearly all) seem to have a full time production manager
16:42 Techrights-sec; The video seemed to lock up.
16:42 Techrights-sec; By the way is there a link to the official FSF arhived copy of the talk?
16:42 schestowitz-TR; which video locked up?
16:44 schestowitz-TR; I did notice that vlc was recently acting a bit odd
16:45 Techrights-sec; http://techrights.org/2022/04/13/rms-libreplanet-2022-and-irc/
16:45 Techrights-sec; At least in VLC it locks up. That happens in other videos too

16:47 *Techrights-sec (~quassel@pumv3cb2rfinu.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
16:52 schestowitz-TR; yes, I did notice this vlc issue recently
16:52 schestowitz-TR; maybe a week ago
16:52 schestowitz-TR; for the first time
16:52 schestowitz-TR; but in firefox and other media players it plays OK
16:52 schestowitz-TR; I'm not sure why
16:52 Techrights-sec; :/
16:52 Techrights-sec; VLC used to be best but I gather it has attracted undesireable attention from M$
16:52 Techrights-sec; or other malevolent interests
16:53 schestowitz-TR; I am nore sure if what changed was vlc, the media files, or something else
16:53 schestowitz-TR; but a few times I was mortified that recordings had gone bad
16:53 schestowitz-TR; and then I saw it was OK in other players
16:53 schestowitz-TR; I cannot recall if processing the video overcame the issue
16:58 schestowitz-TR; I've just tested some older file
16:58 schestowitz-TR; it seems like procesing or re-encoding such video solves the issue for vlc
16:58 schestowitz-TR; but I think we've seen the issue whether it's recorded on the new laptop or the new
16:58 schestowitz-TR; laptop
16:58 schestowitz-TR; this leads me to suspecting vlc might be the culprit
16:58 schestowitz-TR; today I iUN-installed vlc after installing it 2 weeks ago on the new lapto
16:58 schestowitz-TR; as it was causinf severe issues at time
16:59 *psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
17:11 schestowitz-TR; this is starting to look like a blessing in disguise
17:11 schestowitz-TR; the options in obs studio are a whole new level
17:11 schestowitz-TR; the file sizes are smaller
17:11 schestowitz-TR; it does noise cancellation
17:11 schestowitz-TR; filters are several
17:11 schestowitz-TR; and allows several cams all at ones
17:11 schestowitz-TR; with the screen also
17:11 schestowitz-TR; I think this is what I will use from now on
17:11 schestowitz-TR; shhhhiiiit
17:11 schestowitz-TR; but anyway, different workflow
17:12 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@hzyndtutd6fti.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
18:00 schestowitz-TR; the audio mixing is very nice too
18:00 schestowitz-TR; so now the only reason for still using webcamoid is legacy i guess
18:00 schestowitz-TR; draft
18:00 schestowitz-TR; you can see the 1-min video
18:02 Techrights-sec; I've not done video editing for a very long time
18:02 Techrights-sec; ack
18:02 Techrights-sec; Maybe the draft could have a few words about the goal of the survey or the topic
18:02 schestowitz-TR; wait, are you reading the obs draft
18:04 schestowitz-TR; also notice file size
18:04 schestowitz-TR; 2.5mb for a 1-min busy video
18:04 schestowitz-TR; a
18:04 schestowitz-TR; vastly better than before
18:05 Techrights-sec; Oh. Refreshed now. I see OBS on KDE now
18:05 Techrights-sec; The text of the post ought to mention KDE Neon by name
18:05 Techrights-sec; "BS Studio" ought to be "OBS Studio
18:05 Techrights-sec; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma
18:05 Techrights-sec; Excellent
18:05 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-en.wikipedia.org | Serial comma - Wikipedia
18:07 schestowitz-TR; important typo
18:07 schestowitz-TR; in terms of workflow
18:07 schestowitz-TR; it outputs to a bunch of formats di not like
18:07 schestowitz-TR; about 6 proprietary ones
18:07 schestowitz-TR; so I copy the output across, ffmpeg to convert to webm and then pipe through the usual
18:07 schestowitz-TR; algos
18:07 schestowitz-TR; thgis way the script is compatible with both PCs
18:07 Techrights-sec; Perhaps that could be annotated in the post as an advantage.
18:10 schestowitz-TR; which advantage? the formats|? File size? Webcamoid has more options
18:10 schestowitz-TR; and more liberal ones
18:10 schestowitz-TR; as a side note, for streaming it suggests using all sorts of disservices I strionglu dislike
18:10 schestowitz-TR; but we rarely have a need to stream anything
18:11 Techrights-sec; "also notice file size"
18:11 Techrights-sec; "16:44:55 bnchs; i'm pretty sure the trolls triggered them too much"
18:19 Techrights-sec; streaming is only useful in very specific contexts, nothing relevant to TR
18:19 schestowitz-TR; yes, there are risks associated with it in an env not carefully controlled
18:19 schestowitz-TR; like an actual studio
18:20 Techrights-sec; yep
18:20 Techrights-sec; a proper studio would be a prerequisite, too
18:20 Techrights-sec; an probably a better mic
18:20 schestowitz-TR; since you have mentioned it, I am going to weak the mic
18:21 Techrights-sec; I bet there are good used mics around now that those that tried and gave up
18:21 Techrights-sec; on vlogging plous those that found they wanted even fancier during the pandemic
18:21 Techrights-sec; have made their decisions

18:27 schestowitz-TR; jk gunzipping now
