hmph, im trying to think of a good way to have beets-web + mopidy-iris on my server
<ashkitten>
the main issue is where/how do i store my music collection? i currently have it in nextcloud, maybe i should bind-mount that directory somewhere for beets to read?
<ashkitten>
hmmmm

anyone ever see something like declarative screencasts? where you can compile a screencast from some sort of script?
<pie_>
(not necessarily textual i suppose)
<pie_>
though editing something like that sounds like it would be awkward because you cant really scrub around in a system execution like you can in video

gchristensen: I don't need much, just making sure disks aren't full and that the box is online
<JJJollyjim>
A hell of a lot simpler and faster than elasticsearch
<JJJollyjim>
I still feel like it's much slower than grep though :/

__monty__: the unspoken factor here is Steam
<joepie91>
they use Steam (and such) as a "storage unit" and only install what they want to play at the time, throw it away when they get bored, and reinstall it again later if they want to play it again
<joepie91>
people don't leave all of their games installed all of the time
<__monty__>
How? To me it looks more like "motivating" people to start using game streaming services.
<__monty__>
You don't reinstall 175GB when you feel like playing some CoD. Takes too long.
<Valodim>
or people just expect ridiculously high quality textures in a game that focuses on the visual experience?
<joepie91>
__monty__: people regularly do, and often play the same game for a while.
<__monty__>
Weird people.
<__monty__>
There's no way I'd wait for such a big download to play CoD. I'd just pick whichever other game basically installs instantly.
<Valodim>
at that point you're just arguing against market success. if it works for millions but not for you, that probably just means you're not part of the target audience
<Valodim>
__monty__: I'll look at the mdns thing again in the evening. still at work :)
<__monty__>
Oh, I'm sure I'm not the target market. But it's still ridiculous.

I've given up on JACK. I don't know how I made it work in a previous install, but it's a PITA. Now I usee pulseeffects's equalizer to reduce the volume to how it was with JACK :^)
<ldlework>
cole-h: did you try my config?
<ldlework>
What was going wrong with it?
<cole-h>
Lots of xruns
<ldlework>
I don't know what that is
<cole-h>
On my Arch machine I got 0 xruns after switching to the zen kernel. No such dice here.
<cole-h>
xruns are when your audio crackles/stutters/pops/what have you.
<ldlework>
cole-h: did you try my config?
<cole-h>
I did
<ldlework>
And it was crackling?
<cole-h>
I'm the one who got it to work automagically, remember? ;)
<ldlework>
Right.
<cole-h>
(With the cadence default.pa)
<ldlework>
Right.
<ldlework>
Thanks for that.
<cole-h>
:P
<ldlework>
Shame though.
<cole-h>
But meh. The only reason I used JACK was because it was quiter than stock pulse
<ldlework>
Mixing linux audio applications through Jack is one of life's pleasures.
<cole-h>
But since somebody pointed me to pulseeffects, I'm satisfied
<adisbladis>
cole-h: Huh? Quieter?
<adisbladis>
What does that even mean?
<cole-h>
Yep. Stock pulse I have to have system volume at ~25% for it to be bearable. With JACK I could go around 75%
<adisbladis>
I don't get what you mean :P
{^_^} has joined #nixos-chat
<adisbladis>
Why is being louder a problem? :S
<cole-h>
I don't know how I can be clearer :P Imagine stock pulseaudio is 0dB, and jack is -10dB. 0dB is too loud for my ears. -10dB is not.
<cole-h>
Louder is a problem because it hurts my ears
<adisbladis>
I don't see why just setting the gain lower is a problem
<MichaelRaskin>
Because it is more convenient when most of the scale does something useful?
<JJJollyjim>
I have a similar problem on windows, where the volume keys adjust by 2%, and I can't go above 4%
<ldlework>
lol
<cole-h>
JJJollyjim: Similar; I can't go above 20%.
<ldlework>
Don't your speakers have a physics knob?
<adisbladis>
Or the expensive option: Get higher impedance headphones :P
<cole-h>
I don't have speakers :^)
<ldlework>
Headphones with no hardware control?
<cole-h>
I plug my HD558s directly into my front 3.5mm
<cole-h>
(Because a DAC/AMP is also expensive)
<ldlework>
On windows each sound device has a driver control
<ldlework>
you have to literally go into the device driver
<adisbladis>
cole-h: Nah, it can be pretty cheap even for a decent one
<ldlework>
you cannot access it any other way
<ldlework>
so if you haven't tried that, maybe that's your ticket
<cole-h>
Sounds like a PITA for when I only boot into Windows to play Minecraft with good performance.
<cole-h>
s/for//
<ldlework>
it shouldn't change
<ldlework>
so if like, overall the sound is just too loud
<ldlework>
you can lower it in the device
<ldlework>
bringing your frontend-volume controls into a normalized range
<cole-h>
That's what volume @ 20% is for :P
<JJJollyjim>
adisbladis: my motherboard has a decent one for free though :P
<ldlework>
this seems like a problem you enjoy having
<adisbladis>
JJJollyjim: For some values of decent I guess?
<adisbladis>
I have yet to see a motherboard with builtin audio that doesn't suck
<ldlework>
but is probably more helpful in JJJollyjim's case
<ldlework>
who can only go up to 4% lol
<cole-h>
adisbladis: I'm all ears for cheap solutions, especially if it has a little knob letting me change the volume :P
<ldlework>
....
<ldlework>
.....................
<ldlework>
what is cheaper
<ldlework>
then opening the device manager and fixing the problem for free?
<cole-h>
The fact that it doesn't solve it in Linux makes it a non-starter ;)
<ldlework>
Seems like linux would have a knob too but I wont try to imply you didn't look :)
<adisbladis>
I have the opposite problem :3 Most of my hardware can't drive my headphones to satisfactory volumes.
<cole-h>
Hehe
<adisbladis>
The biggest problem is my phone..
<adisbladis>
I'd rather not listen to music that using that crap
<cole-h>
I mean, I really have no qualms with my current solution of using pulseeffects's EQ to pin input and output to -20
<cole-h>
Nor am I dissatisfied with 20% volume in Windows

Is there a way to allow an unprivieleged user create folders/files in rpool/system/media? Do I go for the simple chown/chgrp/chmod, or is there something fancier I can do?

"Key rotation is managed by ZFS. Changing the user's key (e.g. a passphrase) does not require re-encrypting the entire dataset. [...] see the zfs load-key subcommand for more info on key loading"
<gchristensen>
and looks like change-key
<cole-h>
I wish I could `man zfs-load-key`
<cole-h>
Thanks gchristensen :)
<__monty__>
I think only straight-up dmcrypt would not allow one to change the passphrase without reencrypting the disk.
<gchristensen>
afaik `man zfs-load-key` is coming
