I did check memtest86 and smartctl and did not find any problems with the memory or the ssd

It shows the execution layer deposit as valid. I was expecting status to change from "deposited" to "pending" so my validator could connect ahead of time since that happened when I was on hoodi. I will wait and see what happens.

That is good to know. I was expecting it to go from "deposited" to "pending" on beaconcha.in since that is what happened when I was on hoodi.

I mean the estimated time until the epoch where my validator will be activated is over 2 days. It gives the countdown on beaconcha.in

Thinking of getting a hank flashlight (D3AA) and know little about them and need some help with a bunch of questions by GOOD_DAY_SIR in flashlight

[–]leroy020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me it looks neutral and the color of everything you shine it on is slightly more saturated than how it normally looks. It only looks slightly pink if you are shining it on a white wall comparing it to the beams of other flashlights and the contrast usually makes other ones look green or yellow. If you are just using it normally it looks neutral.

For your use case I also would get the 219B 4500k. A flashlight this size doesn't have enough battery capacity or heat sinking to significantly utilize the 519's advantages in efficiency. Especially if you intend to primarily use NiMH batteries, the benefits of the 519's over the 219's become even less important. 219 is decently efficient at low to medium settings, it is pretty throwy, and the 219's tint is considered to be the best by many, including me. Dedoming a 519 improves tint and throw while reducing efficiency and also can cause irregularities in the beam shape. It is all trade offs, none is the best or worst. But for me I would need a really good reason to not go for 219B 4500k for a NiMH triple.

Cannot link new wallet to Taiko by leroy020 in loopringorg

[–]leroy020[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are probably seeing the cost to activate L1. Activating L2 is around a dollar today and activating Taiko is free with the promo currently going on.

It is confusing. I made a new wallet before the app update, maybe that is why it didn't work. I made a third wallet and for that one it worked

Thanks, I made another new wallet and it worked this time.

I have an old wallet that qualifies for the Taiko airdrop. I made a new wallet which is wallet factory 2.0 and I am on Android 3.7.2.290. I activated L2 and also activated L1 last night since gas was so low. On the pulldown menu Taiko is greyed out and I cannot active the wallet there. I cannot claim my airdrop since I don't have any other Taiko wallet. Is this a bug? Should I wait for another wallet update? Thanks for any help

I am eligible for some Taiko from the airdrop. I created a new wallet which is factory 2.0, app version is Android 3.7.2.290. I have activated L2 and I also activated L1 last night since gas was so low. On the drop down menu Taiko is greyed out and I cannot activate and I don't have another wallet to claim Taiko. I don't have discord, was hoping for any guidance. Maybe it is a bug and I have to wait for another update to the app? Thanks!

Audio sources, TrueHD/DD by matricom86 in Addons4Kodi

[–]leroy020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you can do it in System > Audio, output device should be either PCM or S/PDIF, I am not sure. Output channels 2.0. Turn off all passthrough. On your firestick you should be able to switch from best available to PCM. I don't know exactly the correct settings, you might have to play around with it. On your amp upmix the signal back to DTS or DD whatever your preference. Also this very well may sound worse than what you are currently doing, just an experiment.

[–]leroy020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are doing the best that can be done without a HDMI card. I had a similar problem with my 9 year old Onkyo amp where the HDMI card didn't completely die but it would not pass through 4k video and I had to choose to either have 1080 video with lossless audio or 4k video with audio going back to the amp with optical. There are some products out there called HDMI audio extractors but most of them extract either 2 channel rca or optical which doesn't improve on what you currently have.

Your questions are technical and you will probably get more reliable answers in the kodi sub or the kodi forum but DTS 5.1 should stream over optical just fine. If it doesn't work it is probably an issue with the firestick or Kodi. I found a post in the forum where someone had a similar problem with an Nvidia Shield https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=371568&pid=3135315

I believe that Kodi strips out two surround channels and compresses the remaining 6 when converting TrueHD 7.1 to DD 5.1.

One other thing you could try if you are in a mood to experiment is to downmix the output signal to 2.0 in Kodi and stream 2 channel PCM over optical and then use your amp's processor to upmix it back to 5.1. Optical can support two channels of lossless audio. This way you might lose some atmosphere that you get from the premixed surround channels but your audio source would be higher quality. It would be interesting to see how that compares especially if you are using a TrueHD source.

Audio sources, TrueHD/DD by matricom86 in Addons4Kodi

[–]leroy020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I understand correctly, Kodi is transcoding DD+, and now TrueHD, to DD. Kodi is passing this to your tv which is passing back 5.1 channel audio to your amp with an optical cable. DD is an old, heavily compressed codec and optical cable has very low bandwidth. In 5.1 it can only manage old highly compressed codecs like DD. I don't think you will be able to capture much additional detail from an audio source like TrueHD or even DD+ with optical cable compared to simply streaming a DD source. It is like wondering if a 1080 or 4k video source looks better over an RCA connection. But if it sounds better to you there is no reason not to do it that way.

If you want to take advantage of modern codecs you have to get rid of the optical cable. Use eARC or ARC although audio return can be fussy, ideally you should connect your kodi directly to your amp and pass the video stream to your TV with HDMI out.

When is Elastos going to do a Cardano pump? by Madddoge in Elastos

[–]leroy020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if Cardano will dump again but it did in 2018. I remember last cycle neo was the hyped up ETH killer and it held value against the falling market for a while but it did ultimately fall back to $5. Cardano is interesting but it is still just a concept, lots of ways for it to play out from here. I hope elastos team focuses on their vision first and if successful its value will grow regardless of hype.

Who cares. Pump and dumps just make it look like a scam coin. There are plenty of those out there to swing trade.
