[2025-09-03T00:31:27Z] got a second copy of my music library finished finally [2025-09-03T00:31:37Z] compressed from lossless flac to 128kbps opus to store on my phone [2025-09-03T00:40:18Z] why exacly opus, as opposed to just mp3? just curious [2025-09-03T00:40:57Z] and why 128kbps instead of 320? the difference is noticable imo. maybe not with cheap earplugs though [2025-09-03T00:41:17Z] yeah the difference absolutely is notable but with opus 128kbps is supposed to be transparent and it's VBR [2025-09-03T00:41:25Z] it's not a consistent 128, it shoots above and below that "as it needs to" [2025-09-03T00:41:26Z] however that works [2025-09-03T00:41:36Z] it sounds fine, my lossless music is for at home [2025-09-03T00:42:05Z] also opus is CRAZY good with file size, i went from 226GiB of flacs to 31.7GiB of 128k opus [2025-09-03T00:49:59Z] I see. thats quite a lot of space saving to say the least [2025-09-03T00:53:14Z] supposedly mp3s are transparent at 192kbps but i dont exactly buy that [2025-09-03T00:53:28Z] ive blind tested 320kbps vs lossless successfully many times [2025-09-03T00:53:53Z] these opus files sound fine on my airpod pros but airpod pros are the epitome of shit audio quality [2025-09-03T00:59:10Z] ive come to hate everything apple for the most part. people swear by these shitty earbuds, for a high price, and terrible quality. all of this apple stuff is beyond me tbqh.. [2025-09-03T00:59:27Z] in any case, if youre happy about the results, I wont argue :p [2025-09-03T00:59:29Z] someone got them for me in like 2018 or something, i didn't purchase these on purpose [2025-09-03T00:59:32Z] for what they are, they're ok [2025-09-03T00:59:44Z] it is convenient to have wireless earbuds while working out / running / etc [2025-09-03T00:59:50Z] i mostly run mp3, but I do got some flacs, but I stopped using flac because it took so damn much space on my phone... [2025-09-03T01:00:44Z] I see. I have some wireless from jabra, and theyre decent enough for me. outside of that, I usually use some shitty jbs buds instead. but phones nowdays doesnt have a aux anymore :( [2025-09-03T01:01:00Z] i hate to say this, but buy an apple usbc -> 3.5mm dongle [2025-09-03T01:01:05Z] it's a genuinely good DAC [2025-09-03T01:01:15Z] and then like $35 IEMs and you have endgame audio if you dont mind wires [2025-09-03T01:01:20Z] so either I have to get an adopter, which from looking around seems iffy at times, oor wireless.. pick your poison kinda.. [2025-09-03T01:01:38Z] yeah youve mentioned that iirc. lol [2025-09-03T01:02:19Z] and yeah my flac library is way too big to fit on my phone [2025-09-03T01:02:28Z] I would infact prefer wires, as opposed to wireless really. or atleast i did. havent really used wires since I go my pixel 6a.. [2025-09-03T01:02:31Z] and i would just use my jellyfin server but my unis network is so awful that i can't reliably stream 128kbps :p [2025-09-03T01:03:16Z] I get that. I had 150+Gb on my phone aswell, although I had to shrink it by deleting garbage songs aswell. lean up my songs basically.. [2025-09-03T01:03:32Z] is it that terrible? fr? [2025-09-03T01:03:39Z] 1mbps down on a good day [2025-09-03T01:03:43Z] damn [2025-09-03T01:24:45Z] im getting frustrated with ii and its clients. I was hoping I could use one of those mentioned on suckless' website, but I cant get any of those ive tried to work properly... [2025-09-03T01:57:08Z] i think mid uses ii and some other stuff to go with it [2025-09-03T01:57:15Z] i don't see them here right now though sadly [2025-09-03T02:03:02Z] yeah, mids mentioned he uses ii, I checked to see if he had some script for it, but didnt see anything. he kept insisting he just used tee alone, but that seems highly cumbersome tbh... [2025-09-03T02:08:42Z] weechat is the happiest ive been with irc [2025-09-03T02:26:08Z] yeah weechat works for sure. I was happy with senpai aswell when I was using pico.sh's bouncer. although I was also happy with catgirl, but now im using 3 server all of a sudden.. so catgirl is now less convinient [2025-09-03T15:41:06Z] SDF is being wonky again qwq [2025-09-03T15:41:37Z] also sad_plan i've been looking at that beepberry *thing* again for the past few days and considering the pricepoint i might get one once it restocks [2025-09-03T15:41:56Z] it'll probably be easier to get a working deliverable targeting a rasp pi device than the r01 in my uconsole [2025-09-03T15:43:30Z] plus the beepberry is much more compact [2025-09-03T15:44:12Z] i can sort of shove the uconsole in my pocket but it's really not ideal, and even i'm not enough of a dork to clip it to my belt [2025-09-03T15:44:19Z] real poindexter hours [2025-09-03T17:21:53Z] kris_: https://gojimmypi.github.io/ESP32-S3-Linux/ [2025-09-03T17:22:05Z] apparently there have been reports of people getting this to run on that liligo thing [2025-09-03T17:27:23Z] sad_plan: seems like that beepberry thing is dormant [2025-09-03T17:35:23Z] man i just wish that clockwork would fulfill their obligations under the GPL, that would make it way easier to fiddle with it... [2025-09-03T17:39:58Z] https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/luckfox-lyra-on-picocalc/ [2025-09-03T17:40:23Z] https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/raspberry-pi-zero-2-on-picocalc [2025-09-03T17:40:27Z] interesting developments [2025-09-03T17:53:32Z] tbqh though i'm really bored of pi stuff... [2025-09-03T17:53:48Z] it's cool to see what people do, don't get me wrong, and the pi has a lot of great applications [2025-09-03T17:53:52Z] qualifying statements and all [2025-09-03T17:54:08Z] that said, a lot of projects seem to boil down to... just putting the pi in another sort of case? [2025-09-03T17:54:21Z] it would be nice to see more hardware diversity with a modicum of actual support [2025-09-03T20:30:57Z] also sad_plan yeah i did end up ordering new ones straight from mnt, it's just really expensive to get that particular model shipped to canada [2025-09-03T20:31:09Z] not something anyone can do anything about aside from ups themselves, but still [2025-09-03T20:31:46Z] i'll probably try and replace them with more generic hardware store torque hinges when i redo the chassis for mine [2025-09-03T20:32:12Z] sugatsune has some really nice hinges that are still widely available and fairly cheap [2025-09-03T20:32:22Z] 20-30CAD for a pair with shipping [2025-09-03T20:38:06Z] man i miss my reform already qwq [2025-09-03T20:50:04Z] midfavila: yeah, the maker is on a break it seems. have no clue when he'll get back into making more of them really. I also like the formfactor. its less clunky than the uconsole if anything [2025-09-03T20:50:35Z] also, in regards to projects just spping pi's into different cases, youre absolutely correct. pi's are defacto standard at this point really [2025-09-03T20:51:45Z] also, have clockwork not gpled their stuff? making things difficult for other creators? or whats really the deal? [2025-09-03T20:58:32Z] clockwork's hardware is under CERN iirc and they've modified linux and uboot iirc to get them to work with the device [2025-09-03T20:58:47Z] the cad files and BoM aren't available, nor is the source code [2025-09-03T20:58:57Z] or even their patches [2025-09-03T20:59:19Z] the formfactor is definitely nice though [2025-09-03T20:59:23Z] as is the pricepoint [2025-09-03T20:59:30Z] 80$ for a little handheld linux machine is great [2025-09-03T20:59:45Z] even if it's fairly weak by most standards it's more than enough for the type of stuff i would be using it for [2025-09-03T20:59:58Z] honestly it'd be pretty comparable to the r01 i think [2025-09-03T21:02:47Z] i like the uconsole using 18650 cells since most of my stuff uses 18650s so everything is interchangeable but the keyboard is hard to thumb-type on quickly because of the tackyness of the keys, and again, the lack of sources for things makes it hard to work on [2025-09-03T21:03:12Z] i don't like having to dissect the stock image using dd to graft together a new image [2025-09-03T21:51:51Z] hm, I see. theyve shouldve open sourced it though. maybe they will in the future [2025-09-03T21:52:15Z] yeah 18650 batteries is nice. I dont currently have any devices using it though. but maybe in the future [2025-09-03T22:34:19Z] midfavila: you wouldnt have a solution for tls/ssl using ii? the ii usage page lists inetd or stunnel as examples, but afaik, neither is compatible with bearssl, or libtls-bearssl [2025-09-03T22:34:35Z] nor is the ssl/tls patches for that matter [2025-09-03T22:35:42Z] running irc, or rather anything really without tls/ssl seems iffy to me [2025-09-03T22:47:42Z] also, midfavila bearssl actually recieved some commits somewhat recently. nothing large, but still. which is nice if you ask me [2025-09-03T22:47:49Z] still no tls-1.3 though... [2025-09-03T23:23:37Z] patch stunnel [2025-09-03T23:23:43Z] to use libtls [2025-09-03T23:23:52Z] then use mcf's libtls-bearssl [2025-09-03T23:23:55Z] ez [2025-09-03T23:24:06Z] also yes they need to [2025-09-03T23:24:14Z] it's marketed as open hardware [2025-09-03T23:24:21Z] i bought it bc of that [2025-09-03T23:24:33Z] that's false advertising on their part [2025-09-03T23:24:51Z] also also, yes, the 18650s are nice [2025-09-03T23:25:16Z] my laptop, uconsole, flashlight, headlamp, lantern, etc all use 18650 cells [2025-09-03T23:26:20Z] if i can move all my charging interfaces over to usb-c that means everything will use the same cables and cells [2025-09-03T23:27:47Z] then once i have the cm4 carriers for my uconsole and laptop, they'll share SoM formats [2025-09-03T23:28:12Z] and if I can figure out how to get a mars-v in the reform, they'll both be riscv machines [2025-09-03T23:29:02Z] then it's a matter of building up a pioneer as my desktop and all my main machines will be riscv and (theoretically) open hardware and source [2025-09-03T23:29:55Z] pinenote for docs, probably a supernote nomad or remarkable move for notes otg, tanagara for music [2025-09-03T23:30:02Z] wiphone for calls [2025-09-03T23:30:09Z] comfytown [2025-09-03T23:30:15Z] population me [2025-09-03T23:31:25Z] I would if I knew how :') on another note, the server has openssl, so technically I wouldnt need to do it. just patch ii to use ssl/tls and be done with it. but I dont want that. I would in the future have my own server running my oasis/kiss fork instead :p [2025-09-03T23:32:02Z] false advertisements is terrible.. is people making noice about it though? or is it going by somewhat silently? [2025-09-03T23:32:38Z] neat use of those cells. ive been thinking about getting a battery bank using 18650 cells, but I dont currently have much use for it... [2025-09-03T23:33:19Z] sounds like a decent plan imo. I also noticed minute is putting in more work on the kinex soc for the reform [2025-09-03T23:36:41Z] midfavila: also, it seems s6-networking supports bearssl, which can be used to proxy ii [2025-09-03T23:40:39Z] dunno, tqh [2025-09-03T23:40:43Z] tbqh [2025-09-03T23:40:55Z] batterybank is useful in general [2025-09-03T23:41:30Z] i should post pics of my gear at some point [2025-09-03T23:41:55Z] and yeah people have complained but that doesn't do anything lol [2025-09-03T23:42:13Z] everyone's abandoned the 01/04/06 in favour of the cm4 [2025-09-03T23:42:19Z] as usual i blame reddit [2025-09-03T23:43:17Z] "GUYS CHECK OUT MY WHOLESOME CHUNGUS HECKIN *SOYBERDECK*!!! IT HAS ALL MY MARVEL MOVIES ON IT ON i3!!!" [2025-09-03T23:44:47Z] I supopse so, but I only have my phone to charge with it. Ive found one which was capable of housing 21 18650 batteries. which is just absurd really.
