4k with 10b/pixel (assuming, could be 12) x 60fps (assuming) x 360s (4min) x 3 cameras:

3840 * 1920 = 7,372,800 pixels

7372800 * 3 channels (RGB) = 22118400 values

22118400 * 10/8 = 27648000 bytes

27648000 * 60 = 1,658,880,000 bytes/sec

1658880000 * 360 = 597,196,800,000 (0.6TB for 4 minutes)

.6TB * 3 cameras = 1.8TB

RAW means RAW, no encoding, no cute channel games, no nothing, just fuck-off I/O.

edit: My bad, that’s 6 minutes, so assume 12 bits per second and you get the same size for 5 minutes.

Modern compression algorithms are quite literally just magic at this point.

edit2: FUCK! Forgot audio!

So… 192khz * 32bits/8(bits per byte) = 768,000 bytes/sec * 300 (5 minutes) = 230,400,000, so 230MB, doesn’t really move the needle.

It was a big rock.

Never forgot that episode.

Seriously, we don’t give a shit, if we have enough to eat and buy some fun toys we’re thrilled to keep up our mad experiments.

Last week got my new epyc server with GPU running ollama and all the trimmings.

This week linked my 2 home bases with wire guard, all the subnets mesh and the wifi isolation is solid. Performance is surprisingly good considering they’re 9 time zones apart on different hemispheres.

Migrating plex to jellyfin to get hw accel working.

Also trying to get my second base multiple statics and 10gb if possible, rural fiber in Europe is unbelievably aweome, hope to drop Comcast business back home if it works.

Got someone to work with on a new company, so that’s part of this, though my day job relies on this too.

Doing that switch soon.

Plex doesn’t do hw accel well, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Same, except the irc, I have a python thing to interface.

Stealing your idea, that sounds awesome.

So I remembered how the autoreverse worked on my toshiba, there was a roller on a rocker arm with a spring, when that roller displaced from tension the rocket arm triggered the action.

I’m pretty much positive it’s the spring, but you might be able to test this by finding the rocker arm and adding tension with a paper clip to see if the problem stops.

Np, good luck.

I miss my old Walkman from when I was young (actually think the one I used most was a Toshiba). Favorite was a Panasonic fm radio though, still love that thing, might have it in storage actually.

They were awesome for the time, best of luck with yours, ask if you have other questions!

Oh, the sensor itself could be glitching, but I kind of doubt that, the springs almost always go first.

If the speeds are right, that’s almost a smoking gun for a weak autoreverse spring.

You might be able to jury-rig it temporarily, I don’t know this unit’s design, but either remove the spring and replace it with string or wire so the autoreverse sensor can’t trigger, or fix the spring itself.

Pull it and see what kind of tension it has.

Heat treating is the proper method to fix it, here’s the directions from chatgpt, it’s not wrong, usually I’ve just seen it kept relaxed and heated with a lighter for 10 seconds, then left to cool.

Heat the spring to ~400–600°F (204–316°C) depending on material (e.g., music wire, stainless).

Hold for 30 minutes.

Let it cool slowly in air.

Sorry, also one of the capstans or rollers could be sticking, increasing the resistance which also signals that the tape has reached its end.

Interesting way to confirm: Does it autoreverse both ways equally? If so it is more likely to be the spring, if not then one of the capstans or rollers or the reversed lug is sticky.

The mechanism for detecting autoreverse needs attention.

Usually there’s a tension spindle that detects if the tape has ended, becauaw the pulling lug pulls and theres no more tape to feed.

Maybe the spring lost tension?

You need more info, probably an expert, but you can retension it by removing it and twisting it while heating in a fire (doesn’t work great but might be enough).

That’s not something they natively support, it’s hard links or a copy.

It actually does, but only very slow, like 2400 baud or so.

Worst case you can do 150baud which is like 2 frequency keying or something.

We had a huge population of genuinely evil people who were locked away in the rural south so they could only abuse black people around them.

Then social media gave these people a voice and politicians realized they could pander to the trash with funding from the billionaires and that’s enough to keep them in power indefinitely.

This is the interesting part!

We Americans believe we are all blessed by the holy aura of freedom and democracy.

These models were trained on 3rd world countries.

Let’s see how far they work, maybe we really are just as weak and corrupt as those we hold in contempt.

The Palantir threat model specifically says only a fringe will put up a fight right now.

There’s a projected line in the sand where people stand up, but so long as you stay on one side, you’re safe, and the scary thing is, you can push that line and it will move.

The plan is to be super aggressive now to move the line, then 12 months from now to act all domestic abuser who regrets it and love bombing to cancel out most of the anger before the midterms.

In their defense, this is exactly how Reagan did it and it worked.

Measure of a man and it’s not close.

They spend the whole episode debating the nature of humanity and fundamental rights, and how they must all be defended, even for those who seem like they could be ignored for convenience.

Jesus, I was just thinking I need this.

Dana is doing ocarina of time which is fun too.

I still love Atlantis, but it’s one of those shows with episodes you definitely skip.
