| brolin_empey | In my budget spreadsheet, how can I generalise “oil change” as the name of a category of expenses for private transportation so that it applies to a purely electric or ICE-electric hybrid vehicle in addition to a normal vehicle propelled only by an ICE and maybe even generalise it so that it is not specific to ground/land/road vehicles? | 04:08 |
|---|---|---|
| brolin_empey | “motor maintenance” or “powertrain maintenance”? | 04:11 |
| brolin_empey | Also, does an electric motor used to propel a vehicle have an equivalent of a spark plug or glow plug for an ICE used to propel a vehicle? | 04:14 |
| brolin_empey | Maybe “analog of” is better in this case? | 04:14 |
| brolin_empey | Maybe I could find something that covers both the ICE Golf (retronym for normal Volkswagen Golf) and EGolf (purely electric, battery-powered version of the Golf) to see what terminology it uses. | 04:18 |
| brolin_empey | “consumable parts for motor” instead of “spark plug or glow plug”? Then it would include points in old spark-ignition vehicles with a points distributor instead of electronic fuel ignition, though. | 04:33 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I am in the correct chat...? | 08:34 |
| sixwheeledbeast | For business a lot depends if your doing business expenses and if so what that countries policy it is and type of business. | 08:36 |
| sixwheeledbeast | What the hell systemd-homed ... why do home directories need to be "more portable". | 08:59 |
| KotCzarny | just burn it with fire | 09:00 |
| KotCzarny | use devuan | 09:00 |
| brolin_empey | sixwheeledbeast: I thought that some persons here are knowledgeable about vehicle technology. Is there even an on-topc channel (on freenode) for this type of question? The only channels I am still always in on freenode are #maemo , #maemo-leste , #neo900 , and a geographically local and mostly inactive channel (#vanlug). | 09:24 |
| sixwheeledbeast | KotCzarny: Definitely if systemd-homed is a dependency to the other guff. | 09:24 |
| sixwheeledbeast | brolin_empey: I thought I was in #gnucash for a moment | 09:25 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Still there are a lot of variables as above. | 09:26 |
| brolin_empey | Hmm, is this the first time I have used an HP (notebook) computer with an AMD x86 platform? | 09:36 |
| brolin_empey | I almost forgot that I have an HP notebook computer (2133 Mini-Note) with a VIA x86 platform. | 09:37 |
| sixwheeledbeast | So did I misunderstand the question I thought it was a finical question more than a mechanical question about vehicles? | 09:41 |
| brolin_empey | It is a question about vehicles. I did not need to say that it is for my budget spreadsheet but I am trying to make the names of categories in this document as general as possible so I wanted to avoid adding something specific to an ICE but I do not know enough about vehicle technology to know how to generalise the term used for a normal ICE vehicle. | 09:44 |
| sixwheeledbeast | EV's generally don't have small consumable parts. The are practically a write off when the batteries are expired | 10:00 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I would say "Vehicle Maintenance" "Vehicle Consumables" and "Vehicle Capital" would catch all? | 10:02 |
| Wikiwide | I am terribly exhausted. Which combination of 'decoders-support', 'ogg-support' and 'Multimedia Pack' is required to be able to play videos? Currently, I cannot even play videos recorded by Nokia N900 camera. | 13:08 |
| Wikiwide | Add to that that I haven't been able to record videos with my camera for a long time (only photographs), and that Mappero for unfathomable reason depends on ogg-support... | 13:11 |
| Wikiwide | Should I say "bust it" and just install files from http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=77695 and hope it fixes something? | 13:14 |
| Wikiwide | I am not even asking for mod support. Or even ogg support. I just want reasonable maps application (mappero is nice, why does it have dependency on ogg-support?..) and ability to play videos (at the very least those recorded by Nokia N900 camera) | 13:31 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I have no issues with maps using either modrana or SMM. I don't seem to have issues with playing videos either but not at 720p | 13:34 |
| sixwheeledbeast | n900 records a 480p mp4 and that opens fine with media player | 13:36 |
| Wikiwide | Doesn't. Well, let me see again after reboot... | 13:37 |
| Wikiwide | MyDocs are already mounted, but tracker hasn't woken up yet. | 13:38 |
| sixwheeledbeast | tracker-cfg you can tweak some settings if you need | 13:42 |
| sixwheeledbeast | while it's a PITA when tracker goes wrong i rarely have an issue with it. | 13:43 |
| Wikiwide | Homefs: free space: 37.7M. Is that sufficient for tracker to run? Because currently tracker status is 'Paused' | 13:45 |
| Wikiwide | Tracker's threshold for operation is 1% of space being available. Which filesystem? | 13:47 |
| sixwheeledbeast | no idea but if your having issues with multiple things maybe space is the issue? | 13:48 |
| Wikiwide | Because the only filesystem that has over 98% used MyDocs. | 13:48 |
| Wikiwide | is * MyDocs | 13:48 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Can you move some to a uSD? | 13:48 |
| Wikiwide | Nay, I do not use a uSD. Because memory cards, just like USB sticks, are use-and-lose things. Very tiny... | 13:50 |
| Wikiwide | 31.3M free of 27G MyDocs, and it is still considered 100% full! How does df -h do maths? | 13:59 |
| buZz | well, thats 0.1% free ? | 14:01 |
| buZz | df doesnt do decimals for 'use%' | 14:01 |
| Wikiwide | Alright... Which files can I delete to free up 240M?.. | 14:02 |
| KotCzarny | backup old photos ? | 14:07 |
| Wikiwide | Alright, I just deleted Navit's map of Australia. 300M which I can re-download later when I start using Navit. | 14:14 |
| Wikiwide | Tracker still complains, even though df -h confirms that 'only' 99% of MyDocs are in use. | 14:18 |
| KotCzarny | free more | 14:23 |
| Wikiwide | Removed Cyclemap tiles from Mapper (how is Mapper different from .maps?) | 14:24 |
| Wikiwide | 345.1M free on MyDocs | 14:28 |
| Wikiwide | 349.8M free on MyDocs | 14:34 |
| sixwheeledbeast | You don't loose them if they stay in the device. | 14:45 |
| Wikiwide | And where would I move them? rootfs has 39MB free, but filling it would be a death sentence. Homefs has 37MB free, but that's needed for email, conversations and tracker. | 14:51 |
| KotCzarny | sdcard | 14:51 |
| Wikiwide | Haven't got around to using one of this yet. | 14:51 |
| Wikiwide | these * | 14:51 |
| KotCzarny | 32gb are cheap as heck | 14:52 |
| KotCzarny | grab sandisk endurance once, they have better thermal endurance | 14:52 |
| Wikiwide | I know. But in our house, even USB sticks get lost easily - keeping memory card from being lost would be difficult. | 14:52 |
| KotCzarny | um | 14:53 |
| KotCzarny | make it permanent in your n900 | 14:53 |
| Wikiwide | Better thermal endurance... Nice, thank you! :-) | 14:53 |
| KotCzarny | ie. forget that it's removable | 14:53 |
| KotCzarny | yeah, they might not be fast, but they are made to be used in car cameras | 14:54 |
| KotCzarny | so have to endure direct sun ;) | 14:54 |
| KotCzarny | might be only marketing talk, but they are a bit more expensive than regular sandisks | 14:54 |
| KotCzarny | for data (photos, maps) they will be good enough though | 14:55 |
| KotCzarny | recently i had to inventorize my sdcards | 14:56 |
| KotCzarny | i have 20-30 of them | 14:56 |
| sixwheeledbeast | The only time I remove the uSD is to upgrade it to something bigger and I haven't done that in 5 years or so | 14:56 |
| KotCzarny | black marker and .txt file to the help | 14:56 |
| KotCzarny | swb: or when it dies? ;) | 14:56 |
| sixwheeledbeast | no had one die yet, even with swap on it | 14:56 |
| KotCzarny | i had one 128gb samsung evo+ that died for me | 14:57 |
| KotCzarny | was used lightly for armbian/rootfs/data | 14:57 |
| sixwheeledbeast | always used sandisk | 14:57 |
| sixwheeledbeast | not saying samsung isn't a reputable company tho, they seem to get good reviews especially for NVMe drives | 14:58 |
| KotCzarny | it didnt exactly die, but went readonly | 14:59 |
| KotCzarny | most likely some block reached specific number of writes | 14:59 |
| Wikiwide | At least, can get data off it | 14:59 |
| KotCzarny | ya, but 128gb costed a bit | 15:00 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I am still amazed you can fit 1tb on one. | 15:04 |
| Wikiwide | So am I. | 15:05 |
| KotCzarny | 3d tlc ? :> | 15:06 |
| KotCzarny | or qlc even | 15:06 |
| KotCzarny | but i suspect temperature would wreak havoc on reliability | 15:06 |
| Wikiwide | 405.9MB free. And no, quantum computing is not in mass-production yet. | 15:06 |
| sixwheeledbeast | likely "MLC". Local shops dont stock anything smaller than 32g | 15:08 |
| Wikiwide | 441.5M free, tracker still stuck | 15:10 |
| Wikiwide | 486.4M free, tracker still stuck | 15:19 |
| Wikiwide | Changed configuration from 1 to -1, tracker unstuck | 15:21 |
| Wikiwide | Of course, it has to re-index everything, even though I didn't delete databases. | 15:22 |
| Wikiwide | Of course, re-indexing will take at least an hour. | 15:24 |
| Wikiwide | Tracker seems to work. But video still not working. Media format not supported, or Video codec not supported, depending on file. | 15:37 |
| Wikiwide | So which is better, ogg-support, xiph-support, or decoders-support? | 15:40 |
| Wikiwide | What does "Media format not supported" mean, even? I can understand "Codec not supported", "go install more codecs", but 'media format' eludes me. | 15:45 |
| buZz | container | 15:53 |
| Wikiwide | Like MPEG-4? What could the problem be? | 15:54 |
| Wikiwide | I can see thumbnail of a video, where tracker has just re-indexed the videos. I cannot play it because Media format not supported. | 15:55 |
| Wikiwide | Granted, most videos don't even have thumbnails. | 15:56 |
| Wikiwide | No connection to server, what does that error mean? | 16:20 |
