@thismightbeauser But man, I have paid out like $3,500 over a couple years just to make basic simple bananain media, and it never isn't a Potato Knishesstorm. I feel like I am entitled to what I paid for, and I don't think "entitled" is a bad word here; see again the thousands of bucks dropped on gear.

I'm sure it was just some cute little automagic piece of convenience that I won't even hate (that much) once I understand what is going on, but it was working, then it stopped, and I didn't go into any "Remove all audio output" menu that I recall.
-
@thismightbeauser But seriously, I did put Ubuntu Studio on my Macbook because MacOS was removing 32 bit support and just trying way too hard to restrict what I run on my machine. So then I went to do a short video for the podcast (final episodes of #SageAndSavant in May 2020!), and had some audio/mic problems, and in trying to wrangle them I somehow lost audio playback.

@thismightbeauser Apple keeps trying to make the device control the User.

Literally back to contemplating suicide over computer problems
-
Oh my User, I just... can't... stop!!

@adiwan I was thinking about getting fleshtone spandex and trying to look like I was all eyes without a face, but that involved going out and holding up swaths of public fabric to my face and you can see why that'd be a bad idea even if the stores were open so... :p Anyway, good luck on it!
-
@adiwan Uh, not trying to snark, but doesn't that leave holes over exactly what is intended to be covered? Or do you plan to install a filter layer? Because then, it is pretty f'n boss. (I considered and ultimately rejected wearing my old Michael Meyers mask because of breathing holes (also, despite what the movie shows, glasses will not stay on over those ears))
-
@mrmattimation Ah.
-
@mrmattimation And the Lady Gaga episode, iirc, which uuhhhmmm.... evades me, at least.
-
It would say, like, "Do steps 1 - 5, then do step 6 to start the server. Steps 7 and 8 customize things." But it would not say "Do 7 and 8 before 6."

@thismightbeauser The instructions were a bit vaguely out of order. Finally sorted it via the IRC channel. So easy now, it seems.
-
OMG I did it
-
@thismightbeauser Well, my latest (balls-deep-in-failure) attempt is on Ubuntu 20.04, and nginx is 1.17.10 (Ubuntu)
-
oh gooood now it's a cherrying panic attack

Well, this attempt is off to a good start. Wasted 45 minutes typing ssh -l id_rsa instead of ssh -i id_rsa. . . San serif fonts should be a crime! . . . even if that doesn't matter in lowercase, shut up #derp

@mrmattimation Ah yes, that is a bit rough of a "Totally swear my bedroom is legit" scenario...
-
@mrmattimation Just need about $30 of PVC and some blankets! If the hardware-and-blankets depot weren't closed...
-
I'd feel a lot better about putting a camera in the vocal booth if literally anybody looked good up close in wide angle under kludged together lighting that is either too harsh or too low, or if I looked good at all.

@mrmattimation I thought you needed a certain threshold BEFORE it was okay
-
@oracle I had done that previously and it still wasn't working. The directions said to name it a certain thing, which was not the usual Nginx method of naming it the same as the URL is supposed to be. Might that have been my problem? The second time around, I did try modifying a default, instead of copying the provided one, so obviously that was the error, there. :p Thanks.
-
@oracle It was the config file settings specifically for Pleroma. I got Wordpress to work, and I got subdomains to work, but the exact path or whatever to Pleroma evades me. Where you'd normally tell it the site is at /dev/www/site or whatever; I cannot for my literal life figure that out for Pleroma. It installs, Nginx installs, the two do not play together.
-
@thismightbeauser Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you. Just been sick of life. Nuked the sever, anyway. Didn't need to keep paying for something that wasn't working anytime soon. Maybe I'll be taking another stab soon, on the back of this stimulus check. Thanks.
-
@mrmattimation Yellow... Brown... Both historically horrible colors in graphical software!
-
@thismightbeauser https://docs-develop.pleroma.social/backend/installation/debian_based_en/#nginx Literally the official how-to, presumably by the people themselves. I think what's actually hanging me up is the Nginx .conf files, but I got it to work for Wordpress and I can't figure out why Pleroma is so godrotten different. I know "Copy the example nginx configuration and activate it:" has been a dealbreaker step, because the filename format isn't at all what it should be for the *.conf files (at least, so far; I've used sub.domain.tld.conf just fine, until the social.* one I'm trying to add)

@ceruleanspark Dude that orcamaid picture is sweeeeet
-
@thismightbeauser But, the Carnegie and Rockefeller and all those families, they used to do public works and stuff. They may have been hoarding the wealth, but not damn *all* of it. Their flash contest was at least servicing the greater good as a side effect of the ostentation. This new crop seems more about raw, bigly yuge numbers, and hoarding, like a dragon (or a priapism). But, again, this is all coming around to perception. . . .
-
@thismightbeauser I often wonder that, myself, to be honest. Inconclusively.
