[00:14:23] <Deucalion> Anddd... back....
[00:14:49] <Deucalion> That took nary a moment
[00:20:05] <Deucalion> ecryptfs-recover-private seems to be not working as it used to.
[00:25:00] <Deucalion> Other than that, it all went swimmingly :/
[01:27:46] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Mozilla Information Trust Initiative Announced - http://sylnt.us - what-if-there-were-addons...

[03:25:51] <chromas> from the ugh dept
[03:30:19] <Bytram> would you prefer: from the give-them-the-finger dept. ??
[03:30:29] <chromas> heh
[03:30:42] <Bytram> I guess YOU would
[03:30:44] <Bytram> ;)
[03:30:54] <Bytram> j/k
[03:30:57] <Bytram> howz thingz?
[03:31:38] * chromas grabs his wood and gives it the finger
[03:31:44] <Bytram> ROFLMAO!
[03:31:49] <Bytram> Touche'
[03:32:09] <chromas> it's pretty warm here. trying to fix up some audio and audacity keeps crashing and locking up
[03:32:12] <chromas> open_source--
[03:32:12] <Bender> karma - open_source: 0
[03:32:26] <Bytram> whacha trying to do it?
[03:36:17] <chromas> Remove noise, add a little compression et cetera. just some basic fixups. it's for a video of some guy talking.
[03:36:36] * Bytram randomly taps on the mute button
[03:36:37] * chromas sees kdenlive and most of the open source video editors have crap for audio support
[03:36:46] <Bytram> you on linux?
[03:36:50] <chromas> aye
[03:37:19] <Bytram> don't have any experience on that, sorry.
[03:37:44] * chromas considers booting vegas on windows
[03:38:00] <Bytram> what flavor of linux? maybe you need to update your copy of audacity (or downgrade, as the case may be)
[03:38:44] <chromas> arch. I've got the latest regular build installed.
[03:39:03] <chromas> hm, I wonder whatever happened to the 3 or whatever beta they were working on decades ago
[03:39:23] <chromas> what tools are you used to?
[03:39:55] <Bytram> audacity, on windows, but that was a few years ago, I'm afraid.
[03:40:01] * chromas looks at the other oss tools
[03:40:22] <chromas> kwave has almost no filters and I think all the other tools are abandoned
[03:40:38] * chromas bitches and moans
[03:40:48] <Bytram> look up audacity on wikipedia, find out what category it is in, and then see what other tools are available in that category?
[03:41:10] <chromas> here's a pretty nifty site http://alternativeto.net
[03:41:10] <upstart> ^ 03AlternativeTo - Crowdsourced software recommendations
[03:44:49] <chromas> I played with Ardour but I think it uses jack, which takes over the sound card
[03:45:00] <chromas> and is weird
[03:46:56] <Bytram> nod nod -- so you are using pulseaudio?
[03:47:10] <chromas> Yep.
[03:47:17] <Bytram> pottering--
[03:47:17] <Bender> karma - pottering: -1
[03:47:47] <Bytram> really wish I could be more helpful!
[03:47:48] <chromas> Y'know, people say alsa has its own mixer but if that's the case, why do pulseaudio and jack take over the whole sound card?
[03:48:02] <chromas> and why were arts and esd a thing
[03:48:15] * chromas installs osx
[03:48:27] <Bytram> IIUC, sound is VERY sensitive to interrupts... it needs to know that nothing else is interrupting the processing.
[03:49:06] <chromas> alsa is supposed to have its own software mixer, like what esd, arts and pulseaudio do
[03:49:29] * chromas uninstalls pulse
[03:50:06] <chromas> I think I only had it for the bluetooth support, which was crackly anyhow
[03:53:38] <chromas> ooh, reaper is available (prerelease) for linux
[03:53:56] <Bytram> ... don't fear the reaper!
[03:55:20] * chromas comes out from hiding
[03:57:14] <Bytram> lol
[03:58:36] <Bytram> strange... I'm doing a d/l of some files... things are 20x *faster* on my tethered cell phone connection than they are on our boron server which is sitting in a huge DC and has, IIRC, a gigabit connection to the 'net.
[03:59:56] <chromas> Is your tethered connection being DDoSed by 40TB/s of AC LEDs?
[04:00:54] <pinchy> my moneys on ddos
[04:00:55] <chromas> s/(0)/\1\1/
[04:00:55] <upstart> <chromas> Is your tethered connection being DDoSed by 4\1\1TB/s of AC LEDs?
[04:00:55] <Bytram> woo woo! I was pulling nearly 1 MB/sec on my cell phone... vs 48 KB/sec at the Dallas DC.
[04:01:05] * Bytram gets the refference
[04:01:07] <chromas> #smake upstart
[04:01:07] * MrPlow smakes upstart upside the head with a one-sided die
[04:01:47] <pinchy> does anyone here use high contrast theme to override websites for easy reading?
[04:02:24] <pinchy> i noticed a while back soylent changed the color of the expand button and with h contrast its invisible where it is
[04:02:32] <Bytram> not I... if the site is not too Javascript-heavy, you might try lynx or some other text-based browser?
[04:02:55] <pinchy> u just have to click in the general vicinity and hope the thread expands
[04:03:31] <chromas> I thought the expander was a gif
[04:03:40] <Bytram> IIRC, it was a PNG
[04:03:58] <chromas> oh it's an svg now
[04:04:27] <chromas> probably for high dpi screens like Sirfinkus uses
[04:04:31] <chromas> and phones
[04:05:02] <Bytram> PJ made up several variants with different # of pixels in width/height, IIRC
[04:05:23] <Bytram> hmmm, on 2nd thought, not so sure about that.
[04:05:50] <pinchy> svg eh? i remember adding something speifically to the userstyle sheet so that mouse hover would provide transparent images a grey background
[04:06:07] <pinchy> wikipedia is pretty notorious for it
[04:06:30] <pinchy> math symbols will be all black so i have to hover to grey the background
[04:06:41] <pinchy> but mouse hover on soylent is still black
[04:07:07] <chromas> looks like it has a white fill inside the black outline
[04:07:13] <chromas> so it shouldn't be transparent
[04:07:27] <Bytram> pinchy: are you using a normal PC or a phone/tablet?
[04:08:34] <pinchy> seamonkey on pc
[04:09:35] * chromas tries several sn themes; gets the same svgs
[04:12:57] <pinchy> so whats the ID or whatever i need to add to my stylsheet to override whatever its doing?
[04:13:43] <pinchy> lable.commenthider from inspect element
[04:14:00] <chromas> commentHider, commentTreeHider, expandAll
[04:14:14] <chromas> classes
[04:15:04] <Bytram> would like to help, but it's the bewitching hour here, just got back from work a couple hours ago, and need to be back at work in less than 9 hours, so am going to have to call it a night atm. As it is, my reasonaing (and typoing) skills are fading.
[04:15:07] <Bytram> sorry!
[04:15:26] <chromas> ~g'night Bytram
[04:15:28] * exec ironically cropdusts a shitload of pleasant hooters over Bytram
[04:15:34] <Bytram> ~gnight chromas
[04:15:36] * exec defiantly mixes a tub of false hope with chromas
[04:16:05] <chromas> Oh, I bet things are gonna go my way tonight!
[04:16:17] <Bytram> rofl
[04:16:23] <chromas> [explosion sfx]
[04:16:31] <Bytram> and *I* am not gonna get *any* sleep! Geeesh!
[04:16:40] <Bytram> ;)
[04:16:42] <chromas> not with those pleasant hooters
[04:16:48] <chromas> unless they smother you and you pass out
[04:16:58] <Bytram> you ever hear how loud those owls can be?
[04:17:15] <Bytram> Who? Who?
[04:17:20] <Bytram> exactly!
[04:17:22] <chromas> Yes. I attended an owl party. It was a hoot
[04:17:30] <Bytram> rofl
[04:17:35] <Bytram> thanks, needed that
[04:17:42] <Bytram> also need sleep. catch ya later!
