03:35 🔗 pnJay so why the two different servers across projects
03:35 🔗 pnJay like what the hell is going on
03:36 🔗 LowLevelM Some people are too stubborn to switch to hackint.
03:36 🔗 pnJay okay, expanding on that
03:36 🔗 pnJay why switch at all?
03:36 🔗 pnJay so far as i know, efnet has been at since uh
03:36 🔗 pnJay forever
03:36 🔗 pnJay why hackint
03:37 🔗 LowLevelM Because efnet has bad uptime, and no chanserv.
03:37 🔗 pnJay what is a chanserv
03:37 🔗 pnJay o_o
03:37 🔗 LowLevelM When an op goes offline, then comes back, it re-ops them.
03:37 🔗 pnJay ive never not been able to connect to efnet, but thats anecdotal
03:37 🔗 pnJay neat
03:37 🔗 Frogging ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
03:38 🔗 JAA "Connect to any EFnet server" != "Staying connected for a long time"
03:38 🔗 pnJay so same question other lense
03:38 🔗 JAA EFnet has a ridiculous amount of server outages, netsplits, etc.
03:38 🔗 pnJay why did we pick efnet
03:38 🔗 Frogging I haven't had many issues
03:38 🔗 pnJay like why stay
03:38 🔗 pnJay or is it just eons of history
03:39 🔗 JAA It's the oldest and one of the most popular networks, so it was a reasonable choice back in 2009 to coordinate the GeoCities grab I guess.
03:40 🔗 JAA And then I guess everyone just stayed here and never looked for a better alternative.
03:40 🔗 LowLevelM https://www.strawpoll.me/19068933/r
03:40 🔗 pnJay that was the pinnacle grab
03:40 🔗 pnJay the first major warzeing
03:41 🔗 LowLevelM Where you here since then?
03:41 🔗 pnJay well as an AT member who distinctly fears change, i will be in both i guess
03:41 🔗 pnJay nah im old but not that old
03:41 🔗 pnJay i came in around mlkshk
03:42 🔗 pnJay well, i was on pirate bay in 2009, but didnt have morals or an understanding of dataloss in 2009
03:42 🔗 LowLevelM I'v been here since G-
03:42 🔗 pnJay what a freaking grab g-
03:42 🔗 LowLevelM google-
03:43 🔗 LowLevelM or googleplus
03:43 🔗 JAA pnJay: Yeah, an actual move is tricky. That's why so far no channels have really moved, but instead just (most) new channels are being created on hackint.
03:43 🔗 pnJay we're in the awkward running-two-domain-controllers phase of the migration
03:44 🔗 pnJay er, 3 i guess if you follow best practices we
03:44 🔗 markedL move archivebot, then people will move
03:45 🔗 JAA Eh, AB is only a small part of AT.
03:45 🔗 LowLevelM Let's continue this convo. on the hackint channel.
03:45 🔗 JAA :-)
03:45 🔗 pnJay that seems too much like change
03:45 🔗 pnJay <_<

20:38 🔗 Myself Raccoon: Have a look at the industrial machine-vision market.
20:38 🔗 Myself Lots of new cameras are 10Gig because GigE isn't fast enough for the sensors.
20:39 🔗 Raccoon Right. But we're also talking android universe
20:40 🔗 Myself Well, point is, the sensors do exist. And I think any camera that's doing 4k30 must be well past a gigabit of sensor bandwidth, no?
20:40 🔗 Raccoon yes, the sensors physically exist. the magic hardware to drive them doesn't
20:42 🔗 Myself MIPI-CSI2 G2b pushes 2.9Gbps, and I believe that's what's in most phones. G3x gets you into the 5Gbps range.
20:42 🔗 Myself (I'm guessing because those are the sensors that're cheapest on the aftermarket, which means they must be mass-produced.)
20:42 🔗 Raccoon All I know is that videos don't look like photographs when you press pause.
20:43 🔗 Video has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
20:43 🔗 Myself Sure, but that has to do with the compression that's happening _after_ the data comes off the sensor. Storage can't keep up with that bitrate so it's heavily compressed.
20:43 🔗 Raccoon and definitely not the resolution
20:43 🔗 Myself Photos can be buffered and stored more slowly so they can keep more of the data.
20:43 🔗 Raccoon i doubt the hardware is pumping 30 megapixels of video data anywhere
20:44 🔗 Raccoon that's getting butchered right at the sensing
20:44 🔗 Video has joined #archiveteam-ot
20:44 🔗 Raccoon Video: you monster.
20:44 🔗 Myself I disagree quite strongly. Most sensors don't do any compression of their own, they can only do decimation and framing.
20:44 🔗 Video what
20:44 🔗 Myself The compression is happening at the other end of the CSI link, typically in dedicated hardware in the SOC.
20:45 🔗 Raccoon compression? no. throwing away pixels, yes.
20:45 🔗 Video @Raccoon: what do you mean "you monster"
20:45 🔗 Myself Usually not. It's easier to run the link at full speed the whole time the camera's active. This lets you do things like use the full resolution for image stabilization even if you're decimating after that.
20:45 🔗 Raccoon Video: talking about how cellphone camera sensors and drivers butcher the image frames being captured while in video mode. BUTCHERED i say. you monster.
20:46 🔗 Video oh
20:46 🔗 Myself If you decimate before stabilization, you get more artifacts from the IS process.
20:46 🔗 * Raccoon shrugs
20:46 🔗 Video i thought i was evil for using hexchat
20:46 🔗 Raccoon looks like throwing away pixels to me.
20:47 🔗 Raccoon instead of passing all 16 x 16 pixels to the driver, it's just passing the top-left corner pixel, or an average of all 256 pixels in that block.
20:48 🔗 Raccoon why the hell would it process all those bits when none are going to be saved to disk
20:48 🔗 Raccoon er, only one will be saved
20:49 🔗 Raccoon i'd even bet on it just reading the corner pixel of every x/y scaled block because it's much cheaper.

21:02 🔗 Frogging At least use a DSLR. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
21:05 🔗 Raccoon Frogging: conversation stemmed from the idea of scanning magazines using a cellphone camera with android software to detect page turns and stillness
21:05 🔗 Raccoon some apps exist, they use video-mode, it sucks.
21:06 🔗 Frogging Phone cameras tend to be shite in general
21:06 🔗 Raccoon put one on a tripod with good lighting and it can do better than a flatbet scanner, faster
21:06 🔗 Raccoon with less page bleed
21:07 🔗 Raccoon though i suppose some flatbet scanners are just cameras now
21:09 🔗 Frogging I'd opt for a DSLR with good lighting and a remote trigger, personally. But that's just me
21:09 🔗 Raccoon why do people still use mechanical DSLR cameras? isn't that like holding into vinyl?
21:10 🔗 Frogging because phone cameras are designed to be small and light and the thus laws of physics limit their quality?
21:10 🔗 Frogging thus the*
21:10 🔗 Raccoon I'd kick any photographers out of a press conference room who didn't use pure solid state silent cameras
21:13 🔗 Myself Yes and no. Through-the-lens viewfinder is valuable in low-light conditions, where a sensor-preview viewfinder really struggles.
21:13 🔗 Myself I had both mirrorless and DSLR, and the mirrorless was worthless in low light. I got rid of it because the DSLR, albeit bulkier, could do everything it could do but not vice-versa.
21:14 🔗 Raccoon digital eyeball tube viewfinders can/do exist
21:14 🔗 Myself I'm not familiar with the term
21:15 🔗 Raccoon if the whitehouse banned noisy cameras, camera makers would offer dual support for a preview screen and a viewfinder screen that blocks out environmental light
21:15 🔗 Raccoon la eyeball tube
21:15 🔗 Frogging I have such a camera already
21:16 🔗 Raccoon does the camera make flip-flop clicky sounds?
21:16 🔗 Frogging It has a mechanical shutter, but it's mirrorless
21:16 🔗 Myself Oh, yeah I've used those. That still doesn't make the sensor any better as a viewfinder in low light. It simply doesn't have the gain at the short exposure times you need for viewfinding.
21:17 🔗 Frogging But yeah, that's not the issue in low-light
21:17 🔗 Raccoon sounds like the photograph would be doomed to failure then
21:17 🔗 Raccoon i want to see what i'm going to get
21:17 🔗 Raccoon not see reality and then get a grainy image when i develop them at home
21:17 🔗 Frogging A mirrorless proper camera would still work better than a cellphone
21:18 🔗 Myself Your armchair quarterbacking was entertaining for a while but I'm losing interest in someone telling me I don't do what I do do.
21:18 🔗 Frogging because the lens and the sensor are bigger
21:18 🔗 Frogging more photons, more data, less grain
21:18 🔗 Myself bigger pixels means deeper photon bins per pixel means more dynamic range
21:18 🔗 Raccoon Frogging: fair. i was just talking about a software driven solution that cuts out a lot of work, but yes, you're correct in that respect.
21:19 🔗 Frogging With the right mounting and a remote actuator, it would not be much work at all
21:19 🔗 Frogging turn page, press button
21:19 🔗 Frogging repeat
21:20 🔗 Raccoon I picked up a $500 brother and I'm debating sawing off the spine of a book and feeding it through the copy hopper. it does straight-to-pdf with normalized page sizes
21:21 🔗 Raccoon will see how that turns out for time and effort
21:21 🔗 Frogging My experience with page hoppers is it somehow ends up being slanted
21:21 🔗 Frogging I don't know how to mitigate that
21:22 🔗 Raccoon will have to see how smart it is. maybe they have alignment software
21:22 🔗 Frogging Maybe I'm not setting the paper clamps properly? I don't know
21:23 🔗 Frogging Though it's not a high end model and I don't scan books
21:23 🔗 Raccoon think i may need a belt sander for this
21:26 🔗 Frogging It's amusing though when people are impressed at the megapixels on a phone camera. Yeah, there are lots of pixels, but zoom in and you'll find that all those extra pixels are just sampling noise
21:26 🔗 Frogging :p
21:27 🔗 JAA Let's make the pixels even smaller so that we can bump the resolution even higher!
21:27 🔗 JAA Higher is always better!
21:27 🔗 Frogging it's like converting your 128kbps MP3s to 320kbps for "moar quality"
21:27 🔗 Myself What gets me is, okay, theoretically you should be able to sum and average those adjacent pixels to get back to the same effect as larger pixels, right? The noise should average out, the quantum efficiency should be the same...
21:28 🔗 Myself Only the higher percentage of sensor area occupied by inter-pixel frame space should go up, and that's compensated by microlenses
21:28 🔗 Myself But for some reason it doesn't work like that and I've never quite gotten my head around why.
21:28 🔗 Frogging Yeah but you're not increasing the amount of data you're not adding anything meaningful to the resulting image, other than artifacting from the averaging
21:36 🔗 Frogging The extra post-processing can only increase the entropy
21:37 🔗 Myself That's fair enough. All other things being equal, a single larger pixel will always be better.

22:38 🔗 JAA Goddammit. Meanwhile, the same-ish price for 8 TB is the cheapest it's ever been here in Switzerland. :-|
22:39 🔗 JAA Almost worth considering a freight forwarding service at these prices.
22:41 🔗 JAA I guess these are the new 14 TB Reds?
23:09 🔗 BlueMax has joined #archiveteam-ot
23:14 🔗 ivan the drives in the easystores are flashed to run at 5400 RPM
23:15 🔗 ivan sometimes the cache is also reduced
23:16 🔗 JAA Ah yeah, different firmware, right. Has anyone ever tried flashing the Red firmware onto them?
23:17 🔗 ivan probably a very bad idea
23:18 🔗 ivan the firmware has block mapping stuff and they may have been binned 5400 RPM for a reason
23:21 🔗 JAA True
23:21 🔗 JAA But actually, Reds are 5400 rpm anyway?
23:21 🔗 Myself rpm influences flying gap and thus format density, don't change the rpm on a modern drive!
23:22 🔗 SootBectr There's Red Pro 7200rpm models
23:23 🔗 JAA Correct, but I said only "Red".
23:25 🔗 SootBectr OK
