04:35 | <mithro> | thor: which way is the bt? top the last called or bottom the last called? |
04:36 | <thor> | if you want to make sure you have everything ... |
04:36 | <thor> | (assuming you're gdb and gcc are well matched) |
04:36 | <thor> | do "info threads" |

04:39 | <mithro> | i'm thinking so... |

04:43 | <thor> | yes, but there are only a few people who actually understand how core Myth stuff works |
04:44 | <thor> | Isaac, mdz, bjm, etc |

04:44 | <thor> | not at this hour |
04:44 | <mithro> | but i suppose it's a good idea for coding ;) |
04:45 | <thor> | what's a good idea for coding? |
04:45 | <mithro> | not being on IRC, it can quickly sapp all your time :) |
04:45 | <thor> | ah yes |
04:46 | <thor> | put it on -dev, with a good bt, Isaac will get back to you |
04:47 | <mithro> | how to get that evil good bt |
04:48 | <thor> | actually, the best thing is not a perfect bt |
04:48 | <thor> | it's a reproducible path to a segfault |
04:48 | <mithro> | but it's not a segfault |
04:49 | <mithro> | it's a freeze |
04:49 | <thor> | ... ok ... |
04:49 | <mithro> | and it's not a total freeze and when you press the keys mythfrontend outputs some information it just doesn't change anything on the screen |
04:50 | <thor> | hey, wish I could tell you more ... |
04:50 | <thor> | I just work on the music stuff |

My current audio config is via the line-in, which I don't have mutted at the moment. It is set to record. I'll mute it when I get the double audio, knowing that things are working. Thanks. |
15:04 | <bbeattie> | esd is running, but my soundcard chip does support multiple outputs. (ie, running 3 mp3's at once). |

15:14 | <bbeattie> | mythfront won't go into tv mode, and I can't rmmod the bttv module. Let me reboot and try it again. First though, what else could be causing this? Is there a way to check to see if audio is being encoded? the /car/cache/mythtv/ringbuf.nuv is empty (mytv not running) |

17:07 | <extremis> | Chutt: do you know anyone who is? |
17:07 | <Chutt> | bbeattie, try capturing at a lower resolution, first |
17:07 | <Chutt> | extremis, not offhand, no |
17:07 | <extremis> | :( the actisys doesn't have good rx |
17:07 | <extremis> | so I can't use it for both |
17:07 | <extremis> | nor would I be able to get the angle right |
17:09 | <bbeattie> | Chutt: most of it is gone at a lower resolution. I get about 10 noise patterns every 5 seconds or so (not same time interval) Is this a bad signal, or bad tv tuner card? |
17:09 | <Chutt> | most likely, it's a bad-ish motherboard |
17:09 | <Chutt> | if it goes away at lower levels, that sort of indicates it has problems transferring lots of data over the pci bus |
17:10 | <bbeattie> | Chutt: it's a msi kt4v, (kt400 chipset) running an amd 2600+. |
17:10 | <Chutt> | xawtv doesn't show it because it's only transferring from tuner card to video card |
17:10 | <Chutt> | bbeattie, aye, via chips are crap, really |
17:10 | <bbeattie> | Chutt: nforce any better? |
17:11 | <Chutt> | i'm happy with my nforce board, at least |
17:11 | <Chutt> | you can try playing with the pci latency settings for the tuner card |
17:11 | <Chutt> | which can clear up a lot of things |
17:11 | <bbeattie> | Chutt: I got this MB last weekend, I'll return it and get an nforce. |
17:12 | <Chutt> | 'course, i could be way off in the diagnosis of that, but it fits what i've seen with other people |

17:16 | <activelow> | I was looking at this page http://patrick.wagstrom.net/weblog/archives/000132.html |
17:17 | <Chutt> | yeah, people are dumb. |

17:18 | <activelow> | so just compile the driver and go then? |
17:18 | <Chutt> | yeah, pretty much |

17:18 | <activelow> | ok, switching from a bttv card, anything I should watch out for? |
17:18 | <Chutt> | not really |
17:18 | <Chutt> | just make sure to set the card up as a hardware mpeg encoder card in mythtv's setup |

17:34 | <Chutt> | i'm just going to stay away from via chipsets, myself |
17:34 | <bbeattie> | asus is too expensive for me, and ideas on aopen? |
17:34 | <Chutt> | you should make sure that there aren't any problems with the nforce2 in linux, first |
17:34 | <activelow> | bbeattie: just a fyi I have a friend with a asus nforce and it's not 100% stable in linux |
17:34 | <Chutt> | i only have an nforce 1 |
17:35 | <activelow> | nforce2 that is.. |
17:35 | <extremis> | I like my abit kd7 so far |
17:35 | <dopez> | watch out with nforce2 boards, they seem to be really picky with memory (even at lower (266/333mhz ddr)) |
17:36 | <activelow> | I used to have lockups with my Soyo dragon+ but the .21 kernel fixed everything. I would recommend it. |
17:36 | <activelow> | it's the KT266, I dont know if that's a good or bad chipset. |
17:37 | <bbeattie> | mind if I ask an off topic question? |
17:39 | <bbeattie> | *pokes chutt* don't know what I did, but resetting bios settings has removed all horizontal noise., even at normal res. |
17:39 | <Chutt> | heh |
17:39 | <Chutt> | so, yeah, one of the 'high performance' things messed it up |
17:40 | <bbeattie> | Chutt: high performance on this in general really is messed up, it disables onboard sound, lan and usb. |
17:40 | <bbeattie> | Chutt: how is color/brightness/sharpness/color temp changed for myth? |
17:41 | <Chutt> | there's settings in the database |
17:41 | <Chutt> | in the last release, there's keybindings to modify em, look in keys.txt |
17:41 | <Chutt> | currently disabled in CVS, though |
17:43 | <bbeattie> | chutt design question, why did you choose rtjpeg over mpeg4 for default encoding? speed? |
17:43 | <Chutt> | yup |
17:44 | <Chutt> | seems like 90% of the people who try this out want to use a pentium-66 |
17:44 | <Chutt> | or something equally bad for real-time video encoding =) |
17:44 | <bbeattie> | Chutt: what's the difference in filesize? would you recommend mpeg4 for an amd xp 2600? |
17:44 | <Chutt> | big difference in file size |
17:44 | <Chutt> | and yeah, use mpeg4 |
17:50 | <bbeattie> | Chutt: alright, last question, but first thanks for your help. - What is normal broadcast resolution isn't it 480x520? If so, does one set that to the resolution for encoding to get the best picture? or what needs to be done? |
17:51 | <Chutt> | 720x480 would be best |
17:51 | <Chutt> | 480x480's quite acceptable, though |
17:51 | <Chutt> | 640x480 if you want something that's 4:3 |
17:51 | <bbeattie> | Chutt: NTSC is 640x480? |

18:03 | <Primer> | when one specifies a modeline, does that oviate the use of horizsync and vertrefresh? |
18:03 | <Primer> | obviate, even |

18:14 | <Primer> | extremis: no...all I need is one |
18:14 | <Primer> | the IR device I have does both RX and TX, using lirc_sir |
18:14 | <Primer> | and the on board IR controller on the MB |
18:17 | <bbeattie> | hmm, myth segfaults if do a program conflict schedule with 3 items, happened 4 time now. |
18:17 | <bbeattie> | rr, no it was the backend that segfaulted |

18:45 | <yourface> | ok |
18:46 | <yourface> | thanks |
18:46 | <-- yourface | has quit () |
18:54 | <extremis> | ok, I got live tv working the database is updating |
18:54 | <extremis> | I just need to get sound working |
18:54 | <extremis> | then dick with the lirc stuff again |
19:00 | <extremis> | does the audio in jack on a pvr250 have its on /dev entry? |
19:09 | <bline> | extremis: the audio comes along with the mpeg over /dev/video0 |
19:10 | <bline> | or I should say the audio is part of the mpeg |
19:13 | <extremis> | bline: from what I saw in the setup you can have audio/video on each of the 3 connectors on the pvr250. Right now I'm using /dev/video0 svideo for video |
19:13 | <extremis> | but if we can recieve from 3 different sources at the same time on that card then audio would need to be split out also |
19:14 | <bline> | for the pvr250, the dsp you specify for capturing is ignored |
19:14 | <extremis> | its likely that audio over the coax is diff than the line in on that pvr250 |
19:14 | <extremis> | bline: I'm not hearing any audio right now |
19:14 | <extremis> | but I have video |
19:15 | <bline> | then you probably have audio out problems |
19:15 | <extremis> | I didn't specify an audio in anywhere in my setup |
19:16 | <bline> | you should be specifying an audio out in the playback section of the setup |
19:17 | <extremis> | that is usually /dev/dsp right? |
19:17 | <bline> | err, not playback |
19:17 | <extremis> | so for my capture card the audio device should be "(None)" and sampleing rate "(None)" ? |
19:18 | <activelow> | I just bought a pvr 250 today, everything works peachy, I did notice a weird thing though...if the myth box hasnt recorded a program yet, watching live tv doesnt work (and sometimes causes the backend to crash), but after recording a show, it all works fine.... |
19:19 | <bline> | mythtv does not set the bitrate for the pvr250 currently |
19:19 | <bline> | the only thing I think it sets is the resolution |
19:19 | <bline> | you'll need to fiddle with utils/test_ioctl to set bitrate and peak bitrate |
19:20 | <extremis> | ok, so I'm pointing to /dev/dsp for audio out |
19:20 | <extremis> | but I get nothing |
19:20 | <extremis> | yet I can play mp3's on /dev/dsp |
19:20 | <bline> | ahh, you specify the output dsp in setup -> general |
19:20 | <bline> | in mythtv |
19:20 | <extremis> | yes |
19:21 | <bline> | check the volume you have mythtv default to |
19:21 | <bline> | also in general |
19:22 | <extremis> | it is fine |
19:23 | <bline> | if you `cat /dev/video0 > foo.mpeg` for a few seconds, and then play that file, do you have audio? |
19:23 | <bline> | use mplayer or something to play it |
19:23 | <extremis> | ok, just a secx |
19:24 | <extremis> | I have to emerge mplayer |
19:25 | <bline> | do you have xine? |
19:25 | <bline> | you should probably emerge both is not, so you can do testing with other mpeg players |
19:25 | <bline> | s/is/if/ |
19:26 | <extremis> | mplayer has alot of dependancies ;) |
19:26 | <extremis> | bline: /dev/video0 should give me audio also eh? |
19:26 | <bline> | yeah, it outputs an mpeg stream. |
19:27 | <bline> | mpeg 1 or 2 depending on your card settings |
19:27 | <extremis> | how do I update the card settings? |
19:28 | <bline> | test_ioctl |
19:29 | <extremis> | the the video looks washed out |
19:30 | <bline> | yeah, that's normal |
19:30 | <bline> | do you have audio? |
19:30 | <extremis> | still compiling... |
19:30 | <extremis> | how do I put the color back in the video, this stinks |
19:31 | <bline> | tweak the color with test_ioctl, I added the color settings to it in latest cvs so you'll need cvs from atleast yesterday |
19:31 | <extremis> | color settings? |
19:32 | <activelow> | bline: any issues with compiling the util dir? mine wont compile |
19:32 | <extremis> | a mythtv native function |
19:32 | <bline> | you getting errors about bitrate_mode? |
19:32 | <extremis> | is there an ebuild that will get the latest cvs? or should that be done by hand |
19:32 | <bline> | by hand |
19:33 | <activelow> | I get test_ioctl.c:355: structure has no member named `bitrate_mode' |
19:33 | <bline> | yeah, alex seems to have messed that up a bit |
19:34 | <extremis> | bline: cvs for mythtv or ivtv ? |
19:34 | <bline> | edit ivtv-ext-api.h and add 'uint32_t bitrate_mode;' around line 29 before 'uint32_t bitrate;' |
19:35 | <bline> | extremis: I thought you were talking about ivtv |
19:35 | <extremis> | ;) I am indirectly |
19:35 | <extremis> | ivtv is your baby? |
19:35 | <bline> | no, I just submited a patch |
19:35 | <extremis> | cool |
19:35 | <bline> | to add the color stuff and the bitrate_mode |
19:36 | <activelow> | bline: did the trick |
19:36 | <bline> | activelow: cool |
19:38 | <activelow> | wow bitrate defaults to 8000000 and peak at 16000000, that seems alittl high.. |
19:39 | <extremis> | so mythtv is a little misleading with its options |
19:39 | <extremis> | like the encoding settings |
19:39 | <extremis> | if you have a mpeg2 hardware encoder then you shouldn't be able to select rtmpeg later |
19:39 | <zaheer> | i managed to get dvb channel chang working without much of a change to the code! |
19:39 | <extremis> | and all encoder settings should be rlative to the card |
19:39 | <bline> | extremis: yeah, but Chutt is going to add those setting as soon as ivtv gets more stable |
19:40 | <extremis> | bline: cool |
19:40 | <extremis> | zaheer: werd, my dvb card should be here soon |
19:41 | <zaheer> | extremis: cool...im on the verge of submitting a clean patch...then i will move my dvb card to my live machine |
19:42 | <bline> | Chutt: if you are around, I found the cause of my sound cutting out. |

20:44 | <bbeattie> | question... since there was no debian files for mythmusic, I compiled my own from source. However, it installs to /usr/local/bin, and the readme appears to be outdated anyway (refers to a .txt config file, which doesn't exist - There's an XML that contains no options described in the README) Is there a way to integrate a system compiled mythmusic into mythfrontend? |
20:47 | <bline> | yeah, edit mainmenu.eml and add an entry for it |
20:48 | <bline> | better to copy it to ~/.mythtv/mainmenu.xmland add the entry there |
20:48 | <bline> | s/xmland/xml and/ |
20:48 | <bbeattie> | thanks, I'll try that |
20:49 | -!- | yourface [Billpp@66.42.36.229] has joined #mythtv |
20:49 | <yourface> | Do I need extra software to compile the cvs? |
20:50 | <bline> | yourface: http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall |
20:51 | <bline> | CVS doesn't require any extra libraries that I know of, that install should cover everything you need |
20:52 | <yourface> | when I've been trying to compile the (2 days ago) cvs I get a error compiling NuppelVideoPLayer.cpp complaing about xv extentions |
20:54 | <bline> | Xv is part of XFree |
20:55 | <bbeattie> | bline: do I need to load some tables into the database? I never saw the install do it, ie, there's a metadeta.sql in mythmusic/musicdb. do I need to run a "mysql < metadata.sql" ? |
20:56 | <yourface> | I'll try todays, and get back to you with the exact error if it comes up agian |
20:56 | <bline> | bbeattie: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.4 |
20:57 | <bbeattie> | bline: that's for the regular mythtv, I was refering to the mythmusic |
20:58 | <bbeattie> | or does the 0.9 sql file for mythtv contain the tables for mythmusic also? |
20:58 | * bline | checks his ebuild for mythmusic |
20:58 | <bbeattie> | bline: menu for mythmusic comes up, but tells me I have no tables in the database for it. |
20:58 | <bline> | bbeattie: yes |
20:59 | <bline> | mysql < metadata.sql |
20:59 | <bbeattie> | mythfrontend menu that is, |
20:59 | <bbeattie> | woot! undocumented! ;0 |
20:59 | <bline> | it's in the README |
20:59 | <bline> | The final thing to do is add the musicdb/metadata.sql file to your existing |

22:47 | <Chutt> | mine's set at 4.5/6 |
22:47 | <mithro> | anyone here know much about mythtv internals? i'm having problems with the program guide freezeing.... |
22:47 | <bline> | I'll try that, one sec |
22:47 | <Chutt> | works fine on my xp and my mini-itx |
22:50 | <bline> | the sound cuts out on those settings as well |
22:50 | <bline> | maybe it is some other setting I am using |
22:50 | <bline> | I have dnr_mode=0,dnr_temporal=0,bitrate=4500000,bitrate_peak=6000000 |
22:51 | <Chutt> | same here |
22:51 | <bline> | and for the color controls: brightness=137 saturation=75 contrast=65 hue=-8 |
22:51 | <Chutt> | dnr_mode = 0 is default now =) |
22:51 | <bline> | good |
22:51 | <Chutt> | those shouldn't affect it at all |
22:51 | <bline> | yeah, that's what I thought |
22:51 | <bline> | err think |
22:51 | <mithro> | so anyone got time to sit down and debug whats happening with my freeze? |
22:52 | <Chutt> | mithro, stick a bunch of couts and stuff in guidegrid.cpp |
22:52 | <Chutt> | see what it's doing |
22:52 | <bline> | Chutt: I find it strange that myth cuts out on those recordings but nothing else does |
22:52 | <bline> | I can get you a sample of the recordings that cut out if you want |
22:52 | <Chutt> | could ya? |
22:52 | <Chutt> | i'd like that |
22:52 | <bline> | how big you want? |
22:53 | <Chutt> | 20 meg enough to show the problem you think? |
22:53 | <bline> | I'll just cat /dev/video0 into a file |
22:53 | <Chutt> | mythtv blah.mpg will play things, btw |
22:53 | <bline> | yeah, should be |
22:53 | <Chutt> | if you ever want to test with just that |
22:53 | <bline> | oh, cool |
22:53 | <Chutt> | it'll still connect to the backend |
22:53 | <Chutt> | but it'll just go play the file instead of live tv |
22:54 | <Chutt> | it'll also play avis and stuff |
22:54 | <Chutt> | but bad sync =) |
22:55 | <bline> | email? |
22:56 | <mithro> | Chutt: where sould i start putting the couts? it doesn't respond to the keyboard input but it shows the inital screen and a bt reports it's in a call to mysql |

23:01 | <Snow-Man> | I suck. |
23:01 | <Chutt> | something simple? |
23:01 | <Snow-Man> | I wish. |
23:01 | <Snow-Man> | Trying something that might help. |
23:01 | <Chutt> | heh |
23:01 | <Chutt> | what'dya think the issue is? |
23:02 | <mithro> | i think it's looking for icons/pictures and not finding any? |
23:02 | <mithro> | i'm using my own tv_grab_aus |
23:03 | <Chutt> | it wouldn't look for them if they weren't in the db |
23:03 | <Snow-Man> | The problem is that sendmail won't do a re-run of the queue until all of the current runners have finished. |
23:03 | <bline> | use qmail? ;) |
23:03 | <Snow-Man> | Fuck no. |
23:03 | <Chutt> | and with all the crappy people on my lists that don't know how to run a server, that takes forever? |
23:03 | <bline> | heh |
23:03 | <Snow-Man> | Chutt: yup. |
23:04 | <Snow-Man> | I'm seeing if I can get it to 'age' messages into another queue. |
23:05 | <Snow-Man> | Basically if a message is in the queue for more than 25 minutes it can get moved into another queue, so the fast sites get the mail on the first run and the others get it whenever. |
23:05 | <Chutt> | ah |
23:06 | <Snow-Man> | It's an idea anyway. |
23:06 | <Chutt> | makes sense |
23:06 | <Snow-Man> | Yeah, except nothing's in the other queue yet. |
23:08 | <Snow-Man> | The problem is that I can't just let it do periodic queue runs because a queue run for some items can take more than 10 minutes.. |
23:08 | <Snow-Man> | And that'll eventually end up with an assload of processes running and stuff. |
23:08 | <Chutt> | bline, plays fine here :( |
23:09 | <Snow-Man> | This kind of stuff is likely to cause problems even on the new server really. |
23:09 | <bline> | hmm |
23:09 | <Snow-Man> | Since, regardless, we really don't want to have 200+ sendmail's all show up at one. |
23:09 | <Chutt> | it's likely a playback bug, yes |
23:10 | <bline> | there must be something in my setup |
23:10 | <bline> | I'm going to delete _everything_ and reinstall |
23:11 | <Chutt> | do you have any of the jitter reduction/experimental a/v sync/aggressive sound buffering options turned on? |
23:11 | <Chutt> | those cause problems sometimes |
23:11 | <Chutt> | or they cure em sometimes |
23:11 | <bline> | Chutt: first thing I checked |
23:11 | <Chutt> | i dunno |
23:12 | <Chutt> | ah well |
23:12 | <Chutt> | worth a shot :( |
23:14 | <mithro> | how does mythtv 0.9 call it's plugins like the mythepg ? |
23:15 | <Chutt> | it's never run mythepg as a separate program |
23:15 | <mithro> | because when i run it as a seperate program it no longer has the freeze |
23:17 | <Snow-Man> | Hrmpf. |
23:17 | <Snow-Man> | Chutt: Man, a message just came in 2 minutes ago and it's being sent out at a pretty decent clip. |

23:18 | <Chutt> | i've got you sending directly to my speakeasy.net account |
23:18 | <Chutt> | now |
23:18 | <Snow-Man> | ok. |
23:19 | <mithro> | Chutt: any idea why the lockup would only occur when the epg was run from inside mythtv then when run externally? |
23:19 | <Chutt> | nope. |
23:19 | <Chutt> | the backtrace you sent in didn't contain the other threads in the program, which may have helped |
23:20 | <bline> | reinstalling now, shame c++ takes so damn long to compile :) |
23:21 | <mithro> | Chutt: according to the gdb there was only one thread? |
23:22 | <Chutt> | mithro, i kinda doubt that, but.. |
23:23 | <bline> | hrm, I wonder if my excessive CFLAGS has anything to do with this problem |
23:23 | <mithro> | how do i get info on the running threads? |
23:23 | <Chutt> | try it with the default |
23:23 | <Chutt> | mithro, it's in the docs |
23:23 | <Chutt> | bline, what do you run ./configure with? |
23:23 | <bline> | I'm using -mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -msse -mmmx -m3dnow -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -frerun-loop-opt -falign-functions=4 |
23:24 | <mithro> | i ran "thread apply all bt full" and put all the output in my backtrace |
23:24 | <Chutt> | heh |
23:24 | <Chutt> | why would you use all that, and not -march= |
23:24 | <Chutt> | but, i'd try the default options first |
23:25 | <mithro> | and "thread" reports only one thread?? |
23:25 | <Chutt> | ok, so it thinks there's only one =) |
23:25 | <bline> | --prefix=/usr --enable-a52bin --enable-shared |

23:28 | <Chutt> | bline, none of those does anything to mythtv |
23:28 | <Chutt> | so leave em off =) |
23:30 | <bline> | they are rather my default |
23:30 | <bline> | err |

23:30 | <bline> | I see what you mean |
23:30 | <mithro> | Chutt: so one of the thread's has died or something? |
23:30 | <bline> | I should have looked a little more into it before I wrote this shell script to compile mythtv |
23:34 | <bigguy> | O really don't think that link posted about ogg quality really helped his case |
23:34 | <bigguy> | I even |
23:34 | <bigguy> | Heh |
23:35 | <bline> | hey bigguy |
23:35 | <bigguy> | lo bline |
23:36 | * mithro | checks out mythtv cvs |
23:38 | * bigguy | prefers flac but has only one ogg and many mp3 |

23:42 | <bline> | as soon as mythfilldatabase finishes I'll be able to test again (crosses fingers) |
23:46 | <Snow-Man> | God damnit. |
23:47 | <Chutt> | i got a message from 11pm |
23:47 | <Chutt> | better! =) |
23:47 | <Snow-Man> | Except that it won't be soon. |
23:48 | <Snow-Man> | As I understand this if I do defer'd delivery *none* of the anti-spam stuff will work. |
23:48 | <Snow-Man> | Which means I could be used as a relay for spam since relay listens externally too. |
23:49 | <Chutt> | well, why'd you switch to deferred delivery again? |
23:49 | <Snow-Man> | If I don't do defer'd mode then I can't control how many queue runners are going at any particular time. |
23:49 | <Chutt> | server load? |
23:49 | <Snow-Man> | server load and link load. |
23:49 | <Snow-Man> | Actually, I can kind of control it now that I think about it. |
23:49 | <mithro> | link load will definatley increase if you become a spam relay :) |
23:50 | <Snow-Man> | I need to not break the messages up as much.. Maybe break them up by 100 users. |
23:50 | <Snow-Man> | Instead of by 10. |
23:51 | <Snow-Man> | I think that'll help. |
23:51 | <Snow-Man> | Since, hopefully, the less a message gets broken up the fewer initial queue runners will be created, I think. |
23:52 | <mithro> | does anyone know of wireless rf remotes apart from the ati remote wonder? |
23:52 | <Snow-Man> | mithro: heh, the problem is that my relay server can now kick off enough processes to overload my link and cause problems for attepting to deliver mail due to timeouts. |
23:52 | <Snow-Man> | It's actually a kind of ridiculous situation, but that's life. |
23:53 | <mithro> | Snow-Man: i'm assuming you own snowman.net where all the mythtv mailing lists are hosted? |
23:53 | <Snow-Man> | yea. |
23:54 | <mithro> | i don't use sendmail :) |
23:54 | <Snow-Man> | I don't believe you run lists with 1000's of people on them either. : |
23:54 | <Snow-Man> | :) |
23:55 | <mithro> | nope :) i run a few lists with 10,000 :) |
23:55 | <Snow-Man> | Having the hourly queue is nice. |
23:55 | <mithro> | but thats not a discussion list which is kinda a diffrent kettle of fish |
23:55 | * Snow-Man | smirks. |
23:55 | <bline> | what are you using mithro |
23:56 | * mithro | uses a personalized version of mailman with postfix |
23:56 | <bline> | ahh, We've been using a version of qmail I hacked up. |
23:56 | <bline> | Hacking on qmail code is _not_ fun. |
23:57 | <mithro> | yeah hacking qmail code is bad :) |
23:57 | <bline> | "I don't believe in stdio" |
23:58 | <mithro> | anyone know about the remoates? my infra red one kinda sucks |
23:59 | <bline> | I'm using one I got from radio shack with irman |
23:59 | <mithro> | i don't know why but infrared doesn't work well in my house |
23:59 | <mithro> | and i don't have fluro's |
