You can crontab it 😁 crontab -l > $HOME/backups/crontab-$(date +%Y%m%d) Schedule this daily.

To be honest I just posted an image to show that I was getting some output from my device. I still haven't figured out how to get any audio output from sdr++ but have managed to listen to a station using a command line program rtl_fm -f 100.9M...

I have been using one of these (although not sure if it is SFF) as a headless file server/ network gateway for several years and am very pleased with it. It's currently running FreeBSD 15.0 but I've upgraded several times. It's a few years...

Some progress! rtl_fm -f 100.9M -M wbfm -s 200k -r 48k | play -r 48k -t raw -e signed-integer -b 16 -c 1 - Thanks to ChatGPT. Just need to figure out what all this means.

At the moment I'm only trying to find out what options I have with this device, I only just got some response from it a couple of days ago. Under Module Manager, I don't see Audio Output. I only see Audio Source.

I can partially understand this from personal perspective, like, other users shouldn't care about what I have in my crontabs (like what I have in my personal files). But I can't understand why is the very fact that A knows that B has a crontab...

Any suggestions for parameters for dump1090? I'm just trying to find out what information the program can provide me with.

I was very sad to read that he'd passed. I also didn't know it. I used his cdrtools for many years. Like that message that msplsh linked to says, he will live on through his software.

No, they're not weird. The image is smaller than the medium you put it on. So the backup GPT table isn't at the end of the medium where it's expected to be, it's at the end of the image.

What do you mean it's not detected? The desktop environment doesn't automount it? Or something else?

That should work for starters. Back to what I asked earlier. What is your listening target? FM Radio? You match antennas to your listening preference. https://www.short-wave.info/ For your "Audio Output" settings scroll down the left hand panel...

It feels like a VPN might be a more appropriate tool here. Tailscale literally gives an ssh connection without much complication, even behind various NAT. But regardless, if you're going to use SSH do yourself a favor and use certificates.

It's not though. Discs are things like CD, dvd, bluray and laserdisc. Harddisks use platters and get their name from diskettes. It doesn't matter if damaging HDDs is serious, that's not what the previous title said. Anyways it's a forum with a...

Disc also is a name for these spinning rust devices. Damaging those MIGHT be seen as a serious problem by many.

Discs means CDs and DVDs generally speaking, not that a rename to something more specific to that wouldn't be helpful. As far as the thread goes, one of the first things to try is lowering the speed to see if that's an issue, especially with I/0...

I thought that, too. So here we go.

oh my god i didn't even realize Beastie completely lost its shading, even my boy has been nerfed 😭

yeah even that website looks far better than this one··· who the hell approved this redesign, i'm so disappointed

genuinely what the F*** is this··· it looks like a mockup someone made in like half an hour or so, it doesn't even look like an OS' website, rather some tech service that no one has ever heard of before

Please revert to the old design, please.

FWIW, writing optical media is not tolerant of interrupts in the middle of writing a track. This is the biggest weak point of most of the cd writing tools that have been created in the opensource world. Jörg Schilling understood this and for...

A normal user should not be able to read other people's crontabs for privacy reasons. Backup everything as root.

As an aside, I found security/autossh very handy to persist reverse ssh tunnel(s) -- which I needed to survive anything thrown at them.

That makes sense. Although if I designed it, I guess I would probably make each directory under /var/cron/tabs readable by the group of the user who owns it.

I have a simple shell scripts that makes a small system backup using tar: it backs up only my personal directory under /home, and configuration files in /etc, /boot/loader.conf and others, so I can run it as my regular user. I'd also like to...

Is this what I should try to get hold of?

Well at least Dolphin works fine... :)

I'm not up on physics and none of this means anything to me. What sort of antenna do you recommend? No nothing.

Just to test out your rig and drivers you could use comms/dump1090 and see airplanes near you. That antenna will work fine for 1090mhz. dump1090 is a command line program for receiving Aircraft Transponder data.

I have no idea how to setup sound. I attached an antenna which came with my Teltonika router:=

With SDR++ the SOURCE does not look right. For me SDR++ Source is "RTL-SDR" not "Airspy". See if the dropdown for SOURCE has RTL-SDR as a possible source.

As a last try I am gone back from pkg latest to pkg quarterly. After reinstalling everything from quarterly the problem is gone. Some errors must have been introduced between quarterly and latest which led to this error. Thanks to everybody...

Same problem with a Quadro P600

I build everything from ports and I am now almost back at the point where I started from. The issue persists. As a last thing I will replace the Quadro P2000 by an old Quadro P600 and check if I will run into the same issues. It would not make...
