brolin_empeyIs Qt4 being removed from Devuan too?03:01
sixwheeledbeastI would imagine so that's why I mentioned leste.06:30
brolin_empeyWith a smartphone camera, specifically Snap Camera HDR on Android OS 8 on an LG G5, how do I get a clear shot of the image on a CRT video monitor in the dark, like a human sees?  I guess I need to use a manual mode instead of the automatic mode but I do not know/remember enough about photography to know what to do.15:37
sixwheeledbeastI would say increase the shutter speed to be equal to the scan frequency, but I am not photographer15:40
brolin_empeyI have a Canon PowerShot G6 from 2004 too but I literally never use it any more because using a dedicated digital still camera seems almost as anachronistic as using an analog/film camera.15:42
sixwheeledbeastincrease/decrease you know what i mean15:44
brolin_empeyIs Maemo Leste based upon Devuan?  I think I used to know the answer.15:47
sixwheeledbeastyes15:49
brolin_empeyOK, I thought so but was not certain because I have not studied the subject for months.15:51
brolin_empeyWhat happens if the power to the computer is interrupted while upgrading a Debian-based GNU+Linux installation in place to a newer release of the OS?  Is the user screwed in this situation?15:54
sixwheeledbeastdpkg would try to fix the situation I believe15:55
brolin_empeyOK.  What is the current email address of DocScrutinizer51?  joerg@openmoko.org ?15:59
brolin_empeyMy message to this address was apparently delivered but I do not know if Joerg still reads mail sent to this address.16:00
sixwheeledbeastI have no idea16:02
sixwheeledbeast~seen DocScrutinizer5116:02
infobotdocscrutinizer51 is currently on #maemo #kde #devuan #qi-hardware #harmattan #neo900, last said: 'we didn't find any, that's why it took so long'.16:02
sixwheeledbeast~seen DocScrutinizer0516:03
infobotdocscrutinizer05 <~saturn@openmoko/engineers/joerg> was last seen on IRC in channel #card10badge, 5d 11h 39m 44s ago, saying: '~display'.16:03
brolin_empeyI tried calling Samsung customer service again.  The first time, the call disconnected before a human answered.  The second try, I reached a CSR but they said they only provide the service manual to service personnel.  They said that UBreakI6 (?) in North Vancouver provides warranty service for Metro Vancouver and that ELink in Mississauga, Ontario is the Samsung service department.  They gave me the telephone number for ELink but I have not yet tried to18:57
brolin_empeycall them.  The call quality is bad when I call Samsung customer service, even during the computerised menus before a human answers, so it is difficult to communicate with the CSR.  I guess I should have asked to speak to the manager of the CSR to try to convince the manager to send me the service manual.18:57
sicelommm, so gmail drops some incoming emails :-/21:44
siceloi understand that they may be coming from suspect hosts, but that's what Spam/Junk Mail is for. yet in this case (from epizy.com) the email just gets blackholed. outlook.com receives it though21:45
Maxdamantusbrolin_empey: you have to set the exposure time to close to some multiple of the frame period.23:16
Maxdamantusbrolin_empey: eg, if the CRT is running at 60 fps (frame period of 1/60 second), you can use an exposure time of 1/60 s, 2/60 s, 3/60 s, ...23:17
Maxdamantusbecause you want to capture some integral number of frames of light, since if you capture say 1.5 frames of light, half the screen will be lighter than the other half.23:19
sixwheeledbeast^ exactly23:20
Maxdamantusthough presumably if you're looking at interlaced video you'd want to double the exposure time, since the frame is effectively shown across two scans.23:23
brolin_empeyMaxdamantus: OK.  I am no longer at home and it is light outside now so maybe I will try again when I am at home at night.23:26
brolin_empeyI think the “UBreakI6” was meant to be “UBreakIFix”, unless maybe it is about fixing the engine in BMW cars (I6 engine), which seems unlikely.23:28
brolin_empeyYes, Wikipedia even has an article about this company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBreakiFix23:36
CatButtshi guise23:38
CatButtswhat's new for the n900 in the last 3 months?23:38
sixwheeledbeastit got 3 months older23:41
CatButtsbesides the obvious time increment23:42
MaxdamantusI guess some news is that the last remaining debian release that works on Maemo's kernel (wheezy) was removed from the official mirrors recently.23:50
Maxdamantus(so you need to use the archive mirror)23:50
sixwheeledbeastcutetube was broken then fixed again if you install debs from TMO post and leste has an alpha img is all I can think of right now.23:54
