... I tried again today with the regular remote runner setup and it's working flawlessly?
I dunno.

Hey! Do I know any peertube admins who have had success with remote runners for long running lives?
I'm using ffplayout to push a live stream to peertube and I want to transcode that live using remote runners, but I keep running in to a problem where, when the video changes in ffmpeg, it takes the remote runner upwards of 10 seconds to catch the new video, and the stream drops.
Anyone else encountered this?
@zarfeblong It's not without precedent! @foone managed to get Microsoft to open source 3d movie maker.
I don't know any current microsoft employees, but I know plenty of former microsoft employees. I'll pass the word around.
We're still watching the x-files in the evenings and Stamats (or however it's spelled, it's late and I don't feel like checking) from Discovery just showed up in this episode.
@evan @darius I suppose it depends on the venue? Fediverse, basically never.
In a chat app, depending on the context, I might move to a smaller room or a DM if I thought the conversation was only relevant to a single party, and the room was pretty full. But modern chat apps have threading, and I'll use a thread before a private message.
@darius @evan Maybe it's just me being non-NT, but if a conversation starts in public, I'm not going to take it private unless there's a very good reason to do otherwise.
Going to try 1440x810 for a while and see if that helps.
So CF cards are the move. I'm going to standardize on CF cards for music distribution.
Or, I guess, I could get some flash ROM and burn 16Kbps opus audio files on to ROMs and make cartridges and cartridge readers and really make the whole thing needlessly bespoke.
It bothers me that there's no universally recognized storage medium between Floppy Disk and CD-ROM in terms of storage space.
I'm doing a thing that would be really cool to release in a limited fashion on like a MD-DATA disc or a Zip disk or a click! disk or whatever, but no one has those, and they were never popular.
The closest I can get is, like 64MB USB disks or CF cards or SD cards.
I get frustrated by this every so often.
@kelbot uhhhh.
Weird.
@kelbot nah. I'll figure it out later.
@kelbot more seriously, cf card readers are easy. Work over usb with adapters that are plentiful and cheap.
SBCs are plentiful and cheap.
Devices that play audio over USB are plentiful and cheap.
Rigging up a cheap, chintzy solution should be cheap and easy as heck. Going for something fancier should be straightforward.
@kelbot cf is just ide in a smaller package.
Anything with native ide support needs a passive adapter for CF.
I'm sure shenanigans will be afoot.
@reiver yes.
We do both.
Recycled HDPE for injecting.
Personally, there's another facet to all of this:
I use and maintain computers professionally, and recreationaly.
Sometimes, I want to do something that doesn't feel or look like my day job. Unfortunately, most of my hobbies feel and look a lot like my day job.
To that end, I have some weird old computers that I keep around because they're useful and also because they're Vastly Different than the computers I use at work.
My #zinestation, mac plus, and palm pilots fall in this camp.
Sidebar:
I'm just a dude.
I'm a sysadmin. I spend a lot of time using computers, and specifically I spend a lot of time fixing machines that are failing in some way.
But I'm just some dude who thinks about stuff and imagines futures which are less horrible than present.
I've said that as a way to say: I don't claim to have The Answer, I just have some ideas. I'm going to talk about those ideas.
Sidebar over.
So how did we get from the gleaming promise of the digital age as imagined in the 70s to the harsh cyberpunk reality of the 20s?
Centralization, rent seeking, planned obsolescence, surveillance, advertising, and copyright.
How do we move forward?
Re-decentralization, a rejection of the profit motive, building for the future/to be repaired, building for privacy, rejecting advertising, and embracing Free software.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about what the next 30 years in computing might look like, the successes and failures of the last 30 years, and the inflection point at which a computer is Good Enough for most tasks.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about the concept of planned obsolescence as it applies to computing, and what modern computing might look like without the profit motive fucking everything up.
