the last time I went to an audio shop the guy demoed an amp using an iPhone playing something over Blutooth and I don't believe APT-X was used so SBC only lol
<stintel>
I think we should start aggressively dropping stuff from the packages feed for reasons like unmaintained, dead upstream, X months behind latest upstream release
<stintel>
minimal: auch
<stintel>
minimal: SBC is horrendous
<minimal>
stintel: yeah, he didn't even know anything about blutooth audio, I tried to explain SBC vs APT-X and how SBC was no way to demo an amp/speakers
<stintel>
I've B&W cans (PX7 iirc), apt-x is acceptable if you're streaming some lossy crap
<stintel>
it's good for on a plane or train or so
<stintel>
at home I use it only for meetings
<minimal>
well there's several versions of APT-X now - "normal", low latency, and HD (from memory)
<stintel>
yeah I think the px7 does aptx hd
<minimal>
APT-X was invented here (Belfast) several decades ago for remote broadcast use of ISDN lines
<stintel>
o_O
<minimal>
a university spinoff AFAIK
<stintel>
ISDN lines, omg, I'm feeling nostalgic
<minimal>
ISDN doesn't make me nostalgic, 300 baud modems do ;-)
<minimal>
or 1200/75
<stintel>
not old enough for that :P
<stintel>
but I was rather happy I convinced my dad to get ISDN in my early Internet days :P
<stintel>
downloading mp3s at 8KB/s while my friends where maybe getting 6

I ran an ISP which had ISDN lines as well as modem lines :-)
<stintel>
or 16KB/s but then expensive :P
<stintel>
cool
<stintel>
we've come a long way
<stintel>
I am now unhappy if my download doesn't go over 100Mbps :P
Lynx- has joined #openwrt-devel
<minimal>
you thought using 2 ISDN channels for 16KB/s was expensive???
<minimal>
we started out paying GBP 48,000 p/y for 64Kbps transit lol
<stintel>
hey, we were consumers ;)
<minimal>
still remember the constant modem changes, started with 14.4K, then 19.2K, then 28.8K, then 33.6K, then 56K - all in the space of 3 years or so
<minimal>
not easy for an ISP when customers often complained that they connected to a "slower" modem
<stintel>
I think I started with 33.6
<stintel>
USR
<stintel>
later upgradeable to V90
<minimal>
modem upgrades were........debatable - there were 2 pre-56K "standards" - K56Flex and I forget the name of the other
<stintel>
ffs, now samba4 keeps failing on host build
<stintel>
wtf
<minimal>
some modems that claimed to be upgradable were in fact not as their hardware couldn't handle some stuff that ended up in the eventual standard

perl module "Parse::Yapp::Driver" not found
<stintel>
yeah I guess samba ad dc on OpenWrt is not a good idea
<Lynx->
I had V92
<stintel>
sigh
<Lynx->
that supposedly had ability to stop, receive call, and continue
<stintel>
and parse yapp is not in packages
<stintel>
ugh the halfassedness
<stintel>
but perl is a complete clusterfuck in packages feed anyway
<stintel>
hmm wait
<stintel>
parse-yapp *is* in the packages feed
<stintel>
then why is it not in my .config
<stintel>
oh boy this is going to be a total disaster
<stintel>
having to include perl in my image because samba host build now wants it for some reason
<stintel>
and perl is constantly failing to build
<stintel>
I think I'm gonna go for the gentoo musl VM instead
<stintel>
what I don't understand is why it started failing after changing PKG_RELEASE from AUTORELEASE to 4
<Habbie>
it's calculated, but it was wrong for me there
<stintel>
if it still fails I can try 9999 :P
<Habbie>
:)
<stintel>
and if it still fails then it's gentoo
<stintel>
reminds me of my comment "waiting for the bot to tell me what to use like I'm 4"
<stintel>
and then the bot said PKG_RELEASE:=4
<Habbie>
lol
<stintel>
I probably laughed way to hard at that
<stintel>
ERROR: package/feeds/packages/samba4 [host] failed to build.
<stintel>
bleeergh
<stintel>
what a waste of time, again
<stintel>
gf is saying I should go to bed and tomorrow it will work again :p
goliath has quit [Quit: SIGSEGV]
minimal has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<stintel>
this makes absolutely no sense, it built absolutely fine until I thouched PKG_RELEASE, and now it refuses to build again no matter what I try
<stintel>
goddamnit
<stintel>
and CI just built it fine for at least 2 targets
<stintel>
ah but CI doesn't enable AD DC
<Mangix>
stintel: dumpsterfire yes
Lynx- has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<Mangix>
nobody wants to maintan it
Lynx- has joined #openwrt-devel
<stintel>
then we should remove it
<stintel>
and perl
<stintel>
it's always shit with that crap
<Mangix>
lots of stuff depends on it unfortunately
<stintel>
then all of that shall be removed
<stintel>
either someone needs it enough to fix it, or out it goes
<Mangix>
:)
Lynx- has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<Habbie>
are we talking about samba or perl now?
<Mangix>
perl
<Habbie>
"yes"
<Habbie>
ah
Lynx- has joined #openwrt-devel
<Mangix>
all perl scripts in OpenWrt should be rewritten in python :)
<Mangix>
the tooling is much better
<stintel>
I've had the idea of making a PR to completely drop perl and anything that depends on it before
<stintel>
I'm gonna make one tomorrow
<Mangix>
:)
<stintel>
either someone steps up and fixes it, or I'm gonna merge it in a month
<stintel>
and perl-parse-yapp already has a host build
<stintel>
maybe it's just some race condition
<stintel>
perl randomly fails here, often builds fine the next try
<stintel>
but yeah perl is so ancient, nobody wants to look into fixing it properly, maintainer has not made any commits since 2018
<Mangix>
is sed 's/\..*//' the same as cut -d '.' -f 1 ?
Lynx- has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
Lynx- has joined #openwrt-devel
<Mangix>
stintel: race condition yes. the thing uses its own thread unsafe build system
<stintel>
what an absolute piece of garbage
<stintel>
so I fixed it with ... make package/perl-parse-yapp/host/{clean,compile} V=sc
<stintel>
after that, all good
<stintel>
I could use some vodka
<Mangix>
cut is faster than sed

Sat Jan 28 03:25:16 2023 daemon.err samba[3689]: /usr/sbin/samba_dnsupdate: /usr/bin/nsupdate: cannot specify -g or -o, program not linked with GSS API Library
<stintel>
christ
<Mangix>
yeah, samba maintainer moved away from openwrt and into jellyfin
<stintel>
jellyfin is nice
<stintel>
unfortunately it doesn't work at all on Android 12 or 13
<stintel>
another side project
<stintel>
but I don't know anything about Android development
<Mangix>
i need a proper device for it. my mvebo NAS is too weak
<stintel>
Khadas VIM3 should be capable
<Mangix>
*mvebu
<stintel>
and that's also an android reference board
<stintel>
but jellyfin has memory allocation problems on modern aosp
<stintel>
I'm waiting for Arc Pro A40 to become available to throw it in my jellyfin server
<Mangix>
do those even perform well?
<stintel>
it should be able to encode/decode all modern video codecs
<stintel>
AV1 included
<stintel>
and it's single-slot PCI
<Mangix>
hmm good point.
<stintel>
barf, gonna have to introduce gssapi support in bind
<stintel>
the rabbitholes I keep getting into
<Mangix>
I still have an old haswell PC with integrated graphics
<Mangix>
need a chrome extension to force h264 playback
<Mangix>
is that gpu all mini displayport?
<stintel>
I don't really care about the ports
<stintel>
so no idea
<stintel>
Output connectors: 4 x mini-DP 1.4 with audio support
<stintel>
looks like it
<stintel>
anyway
<stintel>
joining the gf in bed
<stintel>
tomorrow is another day for rabbitholing
<Mangix>
Resizable BAR is a must-have feature for Intel's ARC A-series graphics cards
<Mangix>
eww
<Mangix>
ah not required
<stintel>
considering an ARC A770 for my workstation. this one is available in EU, maybe I can get one and try this in my jellyfin server first, then decide if I want to get an A40 when it becomes available

just ordered an ARC A770 16GB :P
<jow>
rewriting perl scripts in python... shudder
<Borromini>
stintel: why? :P You know Intel just fucks you over with GPUs.
<stintel>
Borromini: well ... I don't game (on PC), but I'm curious how it compares to my RX5700XT in OpenCL performance
<stintel>
and also would like to test if Jellyfin can use it to do transcoding
<stintel>
it supports all modern codecs including AV1
<stintel>
if that works well, I'll get an Arc Pro A40 whenever it becomes available in EU, and throw that in my server running jellyfin
<stintel>
A40 = single PCI slot
<stintel>
and draws its power from the PCIe slot, iirc
<stintel>
aaaand I have a Samba4 AD DC on OpenWrt
<Borromini>
:)
<Znevna>
congrats? :P
<stintel>
well it took some effort and cursing, stupid perl host build dependency being stupid
<stintel>
I'll do some PRs after I finish my server migration
<oliv3r[m]>
Any idea why I can't use devmem? the binary and /dev/mem are there, the same registers poke fine from u-boot; but from within linux, the target just stalls
