[16:53:10] <cmn32480> and change them if I want
[16:53:37] <mechanicjay> TheMightyBuzzard: Its one of there reasons why my 8-tracks are on a shelf in the garage, and not in the car.
[16:53:50] <mechanicjay> I have something like 200ish tapes.
[16:53:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> ack
[16:54:19] <janrinok> that's a lot of tapes, but not many songs
[16:54:20] <mechanicjay> Yeah, when your aunts and uncles are dumping stuff on you because "You like old stuff"
[16:54:27] -!- baconopoly has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[16:54:48] <mechanicjay> also, when you find some at a garage sale and try to buy like 3 for $1, and they end up giving you the whole case for the $1.
[16:54:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm still wondering why the roomie insists on having a dvd shelf instead of buying another storage drive for the media center box.
[16:55:11] <cmn32480> the quantity of songs on all those tapes woudl fit, 50 times over and then some on a memory chip the size of your pinky fingernail...
[16:55:12] <swiss> mechanicjay: that's how i ended up with a box of laserdiscs
[16:55:14] <mechanicjay> Anyway, it was a super great way to sample a lot of music for almost no money before the Napster days.
[16:55:16] <cmn32480> ain't technology grand?
[16:55:19] <swiss> my uncle said "You like cool old tech, right?"
[16:55:37] <mechanicjay> swiss: Laserdiscs are something I"ve managed to keep a very small curated collection of.
[16:55:43] <mechanicjay> Maybe only 20 discs.
[16:55:49] <swiss> i have a lot more than that
[16:55:58] <swiss> have some really cool ones too, like the original starwars trilogy
[16:56:02] <mechanicjay> :)
[16:56:04] <cmn32480> mine is a lot more curated then that: zero
[16:56:16] <swiss> a few Critereon collections
[16:57:14] <mechanicjay> yeah, the SW Definititve Laserdisc box set is basically the cleanest cut of the theatrical release you can get.
[16:58:01] <mechanicjay> Apparently, the laserdisc of the Abyss is another one where they've never done a good clean DVD transfer, so the laserdisc remains the best quality cut of the movie.
[16:58:10] <swiss> I have that one too
[16:58:16] <mechanicjay> nice!
[16:58:36] <swiss> He also went to japan, so i have a ton of weeb discs
[16:58:57] <mechanicjay> ~g weeb disc
[16:58:59] <exec> [google] https://unity3d.com
[16:59:15] <mechanicjay> not quite google
[16:59:21] <swiss> weeaboo - wannabe japanese person
[16:59:46] <swiss> it's weird using it with the TV though
[16:59:54] <swiss> because of aspect ratio garbage
[17:01:33] <mechanicjay> I have a co-worker here who went crazy last year, finding PAL editions of the SW laserdiscs because they are aparently even cleaner than the "Definitive Edition", which means he needed to find a PAL player -- he even got into which versions of which player will put out the cleanest signal.
[17:01:51] <mechanicjay> I'm not sure what his end-game was, other than to see how far he could take as a fun excersice.
[17:03:30] <mechanicjay> TheMightyBuzzard: I'm working on that with my DVD's, actually packed them all away, ripping them as I have time.
[17:04:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> mechanicjay, it's a minor pain but well worth it.
[17:04:29] <mechanicjay> Yeah, also I've found Plex Media Server to be a truly outstanding product.
[17:05:08] <cmn32480> ok - so legitimate question - how tough is it to set up a media server?
[17:05:25] <cmn32480> I haven't even thought about it until recently... and what kind of harware is needed?
[17:05:25] <mechanicjay> With plex, it was as easy as installing an rpm
[17:05:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> the way i do it? couple minutes.
[17:05:38] <mechanicjay> then, point it to your media library
[17:05:53] <cmn32480> any hardware specs?
[17:05:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> nfs from a server i already have then a raspberry pi running osmc.
[17:06:03] <cmn32480> this woudl be a good "Ask Soylent" question
[17:06:04] <mechanicjay> The "hard" part is ripping the media.
[17:06:19] <mechanicjay> cmn32480: agreed!
[17:06:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> mechanicjay, yeah, that would be a literal torrent of effort
[17:06:35] * cmn32480 goes to write that up...
[17:07:06] <mechanicjay> I'm running mine on my desktop, corei7, some number of GB of ram, software RAID1 on the media volume
[17:07:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, the worst computer you can buy nowadays can be a media center and play 1080p videos
[17:07:45] <mechanicjay> It's nice to have something relatively beefy so you can transcode on the fly if you're on a slower connection or small screen or what not.
[17:08:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> bigger stats if you have to transcode
[17:08:24] * cmn32480 thinks about using the box exec runs on... then reconsiders
[17:08:30] <cmn32480> transcode?
[17:08:38] <cmn32480> <----newb
[17:08:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you're streaming them from one box to another, you generally reencode them on the fly
[17:09:01] <cmn32480> ahhhh
[17:09:11] <cmn32480> thank you
[17:09:23] <cmn32480> and what to use to rip the DVD's?
[17:09:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you're doing a one box solution with the storage local to it, you can get away with just about anything. the only thing that needs to be hoss is the size of the hdds
[17:09:48] <mechanicjay> if the native format is like 1080p and you're looking at on a 480p device, you need to downsample on the fly before sending it across the wire.
[17:10:18] <mechanicjay> I use handbrake for DVDs
[17:10:32] <mechanicjay> it's pretty fool proof -- BD is harder
[17:11:18] <mechanicjay> with blueray, use makemkv to rip the move off the disc to a mkv file, then process with handbrake to compress to a reasonable size.
[17:11:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod
[17:11:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> i use HandBrakeCLI but the gui ain't bad either
[17:12:30] <mechanicjay> the process is fraught on Linux as not all the BD encryption keys have been cracked and they always seem to be new ones popping up -- fuck that shit.
[17:12:58] <mechanicjay> not sure if it's any better on Windows.
[17:16:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> beats me. i don't own a BD drive.
[17:17:17] <mechanicjay> I an external BD drive for my computer -- and only used to rip the 3 BD movies I have. In retrospect this was a complete waste.
[17:19:04] <cmn32480> thanks.
[17:19:17] <cmn32480> sorry I got grabbed my one of my tech to help on a customer issue
[17:21:00] <cmn32480> slickery.. it runs on windows
[17:24:45] <mechanicjay> In other news, I wrote enough javascript yesterday that I'm almost starting to understand it.
[17:24:58] * mechanicjay is conflicted is about this
[17:24:59] <janrinok> I think that's a bad sign
[17:25:46] <mechanicjay> Yeah, it's all the name of idoit-proofing a UI that front-ends an asinine business process.
[17:26:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> mechanicjay, you shouldn't have said that. i hereby draft you to do any js work we decide needs done on SN.
[17:27:45] <mechanicjay> There are only certain selections of options that make sense together, the current paper-form(!!!) has no indication of what valid option combinations are, so the OPS guys are constantly doing multiple rounds with the customers to figure out what they really need. Moving the form online, I can control what options show or don't based on other options.
[17:28:30] <mechanicjay> TheMightyBuzzard: I am still morally opposed to js.
[17:28:39] <cmn32480> that matters why?
[17:29:03] <cmn32480> it's for the good of the site!
[17:29:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, is not. it's for the editors.
[17:29:58] <janrinok> what have we asked for?
[17:30:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> janrinok, like i pay attention...
[17:30:20] <janrinok> lol
[17:30:23] <cmn32480> it IS for the good fo the site... we editors play a minor role, for sure, but does preserving what little sanity we have left mean nothing to you?
[17:30:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, you still have some left? janrinok, you have the month off.
[17:30:57] <cmn32480> I WANT A RAISE!!!!!!!!
[17:31:28] <mechanicjay> me too, especially if I'm going to be javascripting my way to compromised morals.
[17:31:29] * TheMightyBuzzard gives cmn32480 a 90.210% raise
[17:31:58] * cmn32480 gives mechanicjay a 90.211% raise
[17:32:09] * cmn32480 is more generous than TheMightyBuzzard

[17:35:46] * cmn32480 give janrinok a raise to go along with his "promotion" to vacationing EiC
[17:36:28] <janrinok> I'm not aware that my 'promotion' has been agreed - but I'll accept the vacation just in case
[17:36:38] <mechanicjay> fuck, I need to actually get some work done
[17:36:40] * TheMightyBuzzard gives swiss a raise as well just for good measure
[17:37:05] * mechanicjay goes to caffinate
[17:39:34] <cmn32480> all the editors seem to have agreed... ipso facto.. it be done.
