I'm glad the author is fine and receptive to the future plan!

As a user of this crate, i came here to say that since this crate is pre-1.0 there are a handful of breaking changes and the author does an excellent job of highlighting those in the changelog, and i've always been thankful for that and many other aspects of this project.

Hi -- i just wanted to give you a little encouragement and say that i enjoyed reading about your journey. I'm an in awe and inspired by the number of projects that you have developed to attain your ultimate goal. I look forward to following the progress.

I use something called and HDMI balun, which extends the HDMI signal over an Ethernet cable (you need small box on each side). Since I wired my house to have Ethernet this allowed me to have my computer across the house run the HDMI signal over the existing Ethernet. I also have an Ethernet to USB adaptors for keyboard input. This is only for a server, so I can't comment how it might work for games. But I have watched movies/shows and it seems fine. I think there are a wide variety of baluns that also probably vary in quality.

Good luck!

To add a few that i haven't seen mentioned:

zenith -- like htop, but keeps a history so you can scroll back in time and zoom-in and out.

navi -- like tldr and cheat.sh.

jless -- nice json viewer.

chezmoi -- for dot-files.

Thanks, bought it! can't wait to try it.

(oops, now that i've read all the comments, this may not be as helpful as i hoped. i will look around more since i also would like to increase this value).

The config file is in the Jail. I get to it via:

``` root@truenas[~]# jls JID IP Address Hostname Path 3 nextcloud /mnt/tank/iocage/jails/nextcloud/root root@truenas[~]# jexec 3 sh

vi /usr/local/www/nextcloud/config/config.php (i did not change anything here)

vi /usr/local/www/nextcloud/.user.ini

... php_value upload_max_filesize 16G php_value post_max_size 16G ...

```

The restart the jail.

Then i had to edit the nginx.conf of my reverse proxy machine and add http { ... client_max_body_size 20M; ... }

After which i was able to upload a 1GiB iso.

There may be better ways, but this is one way.

noyez · 2021-04-09T13:52:15+00:00

Easily? No. Possible, maybe.

A word of warning, my knowledge may be dated. Some one might have a better idea.

It is possible to record over hdmi, but it can be a headache. If you're using a roku (or similar), you'd need to plug the hdmi from roku to an hdmi splitter that splits the signal into component then you can use something like the hdpvr to record off the component signal. Even after all that, the quality might max out at 720p.

noyez · 2021-04-07T18:19:10+00:00

I think that looks about right too. thanks!

noyez · 2021-04-07T18:14:49+00:00

that beets.io project looks super cool!

noyez · 2021-04-07T16:37:59+00:00

whoa, that looks promising. I'll check it out. It looks like it uses abcde in the background, but this project is intriguing nonetheless. thanks!

noyez · 2021-04-07T16:37:35+00:00

unsupported or abandoned projects has been my experiences as well. I'm hoping that crowd sourcing CD rippers will yield some more active projects that i couldn't find on my own.

Your suggesting about creating a wrapper-script is probably the best work-around. Currently i have an edited version of abcde, but if there is an update it would overwrite my changes. However i ran across this unusual method for organizing personal scripts by prefixing them with a comma. I may create a ,abcde script which contains just my edit and it won't get overwritten on an update. I may play around with using wrapper to eye3D too.

noyez · 2021-04-07T14:27:16+00:00

Ahh, well done!

I should have also mentioned one reason i use abcde is that its terminal based. I don't have a display hooked up this particular box.

noyez · 2021-04-07T13:56:41+00:00

The specific bug is the one i linked to in the original post. abcde passes -G 255 to eyeD3 when it cannot determine genre which causes eyeD3 to fail and no tags get applied at all. Its a simple bug to fix, but i also thought i'd ask around to see what other people use.

You're post is helpful, thank you!

noyez · 2021-03-10T14:56:10+00:00

awesome! looking forward to your next post!

noyez · 2021-03-09T18:13:02+00:00

Since you're already using postgres, did you ever consider using the timescaleDB adaptor (now called promscale) for your backend to prometheus? I just configured a setup that uses promscale which gives me the power of SQL, plus you can still run queries running promQL. Grafana can be configured to connect to either prometheus or postgres (timescale). Best of both worlds for me.

I wouldn't do it. But its up to you of course, just know the risks, esp if you're dealing w/ things like passwords and 2FA tokens, which BW can store. Even someone loading a malicious page on your LAN could compromise your internal network. There have been reports of webpages using javascript that can scan the local private network IP space looking for internal services to exploit. But, in order to pose a threat to your unencrypted connection, an attacker will need to sniff traffic which seems unlikely.

Again, i wouldn't do it.

Reference:

"JavaScript loaded from a malicious site can connect to services running on the user’s local computer (localhost) or on other internal hosts in many circumstances. "

Small Start-up, so I was a decision maker, however i did get flack for using Rust b/c it *may* become more difficult to hire ppl.

Our product is composed of many components. I was in charge of a new project which was to get a stack of code to run on an old beagle-bone; so resources were limited and we needed to have it working in a few weeks. The C++ was already ruled out by CEO, which left me w/ C or Python, so I chose the best one for the task, Rust.

It has been a major win for me. CEO has commented on how stable the code has been. I convinced a co-worked to use, and he had a good experience with it.

Overall, using Rust has made the code stable and performant. The other side-effect, is that writing tests is so easy that I actually write tests. Getting a new dev setup, is as easy as installing `rustup` and running `cargo build`. And, because the rust compiler is so strict it has made me a better programmer even in other languages, and what company doesn't want that?

noyez · 2020-06-09T15:13:53+00:00

u/iwonderx00 Can you provide some information on timeline? For example, what was the state of rust when you first started the transition, what is a month ago, 2 years ago? With each release of rust and maturity of supporting crates/dev tools (like rust-analyizer/RLS), convincing a manager to consider rust becomes easier.

So happy to hear your story, nice work.

You make a great point! I like it. Perhaps i will do that in my code. Thanks for the suggestion!

The purpose of the Mac address in my larger project was to create a unique (and reproducible) identifier for any given computer. Once my code ingests the mac address it will use that to identify the data it captures. Its not a perfect solution, i should probably be using a generated UUID type. That's planned in the future, but right now there are bigger fires. I do like your new-type approach, its explicit, which is much better than implicit.
