I'm looking for a scanner program which lets me scan both sides of a document via a document feeder, where I hav eto manually flip the documents. anyone familiar with something like this?
<drakonis>
no SANE?
<gchristensen>
SANE is fine
<drakonis>
isnt that technically speaking, two separate actions?
<gchristensen>
sure
<drakonis>
you're looking for a graphical frontend?

etu: do you currently run NixOS on your router?
<etu>
eyJhb: No
<etu>
And nixwrt doesn't support my router either
<eyJhb>
Fair, that is also fun to setup :p
<eyJhb>
Spent a weekend getting mine to work. But it's nice having the ability to control everything
<etu>
You're running nixos or nixwrt on your router?
<eyJhb>
NixOS, but my "router" is a SuperMicro A1SRi-2758F (Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2358 @ 1.74GHz) with 8 GB ECC memory
<eyJhb>
So it could do much more.. Basically waaay to overpowered regarding what it is doing

But, would you be able to put e.g. NixOS onto it etu ?
<etu>
eyJhb: That's the question, probably not NixOS but NixWRT?
<etu>
eyJhb: It's not currently supported because NixWRT doesn't do much at all

<sphalerite>
hm, BIND crashed on me :/
<sphalerite>
maybe I should switch to unbound.
<tilpner>
sphalerite: I have kresd/knot on all my NixOS devices, works well-ish so far (no crashes, but some dnssec weirdness. The lua config is powerful enough to work around them)
<adisbladis>
Speaking of which: What is a decent router(or general purpose computer) you can get for routing
<adisbladis>
I've struggled to find a decent router that doesn't cost too much $$$
<red[m]>
@adisbladis I really like my ubiquiti edgemax
<red[m]>
But that is a router, not a general purpose pc
<adisbladis>
red[m]: I meant to run nixos on :)
<adisbladis>
Also ubiquiti.... They break the GPL
<adisbladis>
I'm not gonna buy their products again
<adisbladis>
red[m]: Also their interface is terribly imperative
<red[m]>
Details details
<sphalerite>
adisbladis: haven't got any experience with them, but something like the banana pi r64? http://www.banana-pi.org/r64.html
<thefloweringash>
I've generally enjoyed my experience with mikrotik products
<adisbladis>
sphalerite: Ohhh
<adisbladis>
Looks promising
<thefloweringash>
but for running nixos, I guess the standard answers are things like pcengines alix boards
<thefloweringash>
I'm using a mini-pc from aliexpress
<sphalerite>
at work we use pcengines APUs for off-site stuff, not sure what the exact hardware in the offices is
<adisbladis>
sphalerite: That thing looks absolutely perfect :)
<sphalerite>
it only has 802.11n though, in case you were planning on using it for wifi
<sphalerite>
so you'd need to add a m.2 802.11ac card or something if you want ac
<adisbladis>
Nah, only for routing for now :)
<adisbladis>
But it's really nice to have the option
<sphalerite>
oh wait no they actually offer an ac card with it? I think?
<adisbladis>
sphalerite: At that kind of price I can just take a chance on it :)
<adisbladis>
If it turns out it arrives with a card that's a nice bonus
<adisbladis>
If not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<adisbladis>
My experience with mediatek wifi chips are not great anyway
<sphalerite>
\o/
<samueldr>
I don't remember which bananapi board
<sphalerite>
that reminds me, I want to get nixwrt running on my home router.
<samueldr>
but one of them, the switch is left to route everything by default at boot
<samueldr>
or *insert appropriate networking terminology* for it
<__monty__>
As someone who's never looked into routers because they're stuck with a managed router. Are there any sort of features you're looking for with this? Or is it just about the openness of the hard-/software?
<adisbladis>
Ok, I've ordered one :)
<adisbladis>
__monty__: Declarative config for one
<adisbladis>
But mostly about openness
lassulus_ has joined #nixos-chat
<sphalerite>
but I don't think I'll ever actually get nixwrt to run on my home router because I need it for my internet :/
<adisbladis>
sphalerite: I'll report to you once it gets here :)
<__monty__>
So it's not about QoS or other features generally lacking from commodity routers?
<adisbladis>
Those are nice-to-haves. But not essential for home imho

<srhb>
Unlikely! Unless temperatures vary across the globe.
<srhb>
(Sounds like a conspiracy to me)
<srhb>
That sounds cold though. :P I wonder if we get any snow this year..
<gchristensen>
:D
<samueldr>
if?
<samueldr>
>> Winter Storm Warning
<samueldr>
>> expected to see 15 to 25 centimetres of snow

Phew, my mac's ssd isn't broken after all
<infinisil>
Somehow the boot partition got corrupted or something
tilpner_ is now known as tilpner
<infinisil>
Wait no, that doesn't make any sense
<samueldr>
look at the SMART data
<samueldr>
it could be failing
<samueldr>
(though SMART data is not infaillible)
<gchristensen>
samueldr: nice, we had expected about that much too, but it seems to all have decided not to fall
<samueldr>
so you just sent us your unused snow?
<gchristensen>
yep, guess so
<samueldr>
I had an SSD that failed, but it somehow failed only in the boot partition's sectors, could boot from a temporary arrangement where /boot was on a usb drive, until the replacement arrived :)
<samueldr>
in my case, SMART said there was an issue
<infinisil>
What happened: Inside the laptop, I couldn't detect the SSD even with a rescue stick. From a different machine however I could access it like normal. Rewriting /boot made it detectable in the laptop again
<infinisil>
This is really weird
<samueldr>
doesn't sound good
<infinisil>
Oh well it works like normal for now again
<infinisil>
Backups are nice though. I only had to worry about losing the ~6 days of data since the last backup, which probably wouldn't have included anything important anyways

drakonis has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<__monty__>
Maybe switch to daily backups for now, for that peace of mind?
<infinisil>
__monty__: I do have hourly backups, but they only happen when I plug in my laptop at home, because then it can use the direct connection to my desktop pc where the backups go
<gchristensen>
how do you control that?
<infinisil>
gchristensen: It just uses the IP in my home network :)
<gchristensen>
ah
<gchristensen>
I wish I could tell znapzend to always take snapshots, but only send if I'm on AC

Has anyone done any keyboard related hardware projects? I think I'd like to convert a laptop keyboard to usb, maybe bluetooth.
<red[m]>
Yes I have
<red[m]>
and can I show you something REALLY cool?
<red[m]>
but if you look in the root directory of that project, you'll see a shell.nix
<red[m]>
;-)
<red[m]>
git clone
<red[m]>
cd
<red[m]>
nix-shell
<red[m]>
make
<adisbladis>
The future is now <3
<red[m]>
the shell.nix deals with all of the cross-compilation configuration, dependancies, and so on... freaking amazing
<__monty__>
That's really cool. Have to get that far first though.
<red[m]>
anyone on any other platform suffers
<__monty__>
Is teensy just popular for keyboards or does it have real advantages over say an arduino leonardo?
<cransom>
that made my day so much brighter when i built a keyboard and i went to start a shell.nix because it had some depends and... it was already there.
<cransom>
i built for a teensy and an uno and the flashing operation is slightly different, but functionality has been the same as far as i've used.

I think I might have tried out that shell.nix before, but it failed because of this
