Should still upgrade a bit more but this is mostly fine now.
https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/image.html#pygame.image.frombuffer lists only a few pixel formats that can be used, basically all just RGB variations.
Hmmm a note in https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=244975 (which I haven't yet read all of) implies that perhaps I need the color profile set to BGR in the videos to avoid costly CPU decoding, maybe that'll do the trick?
Just noticed it died, lets say about 19:00 to 28:00 then for 9hrs on just this portable USB battery pack, certainly couldn't power it on its own for the full weekend then but that ain't bad.
Hitting the key a bazillion times didn't make it any slower, so it's just rendering generally slow I guess. I might need to work out a more efficient way using the hardware decode of the Pi3 or such . . .
Trying to reencode for the Pi2 to be able to handle: for i in *.*; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -c:v mpeg2video -qscale:v 1 "../1080p-mpeg2/${i%.*}.mpg"; done
I absolutely just gave up on the bulk downloads and just manually downloaded each of the mere 14 titles I "own" on Amazon's Kindle platform.
Yeah I think that's it, in standard "JavaScript devs reinvent wheel but badly" it doesn't seem to try to do the postinstall step and so it doesn't show that the same problem is happening.
Mysteriously, a subsequent bun install seems to have worked? Or maybe it just died in a way where it doesn't realize it needs to try again, because
Okay so to download my Kindle books I could use https://github.com/treetrum/amazon-kindle-bulk-downloader, that in turn requires using bun which . . . appears to be yet another NodeJS package manager? Fantastic, that'll definitely work, it won't immediately fail like every other time I've touched the NodeJS ecosystem.
https://next.content.town/p/kindle-drm-deadline-is-approaching yeah yeah I should do this already
Last report from my parents is it was working well enough for them to set it to SiriusXM and leave it. Waiting to hear any further issues but shelving this for now...
Amos version (with existing text):

Huh, once I had finally remembered enough times to get past all the "hey, wanna replace this config file with an updated default one?" prompts I'd always say no to, including the final one to remove obsoleted packages, it booted back up into Ubuntu Server 24.04 just fine (well, after switching over the php8.1 mod enabled in the webserver to 24.04's php8.3).
The current stable News app needs at least PHP 8.2 itself, so upgrading the server itself to 24.04! Fingers crossed it doesn't go too wrong!
Well, Redirect “/nextcloud/nextcloud” “/nextcloud” gave me /var/www/owncloud/.htaccess: Redirect to non-URL, and RewriteRule “/owncloud/owncloud” “/owncloud” has changed nothing (I didn't bother yet looking up the syntax to make sure I'm doing that right though, I have a headache anyways!).
So far so good...
https://www.driveuconnect.com/support/software-update.html has the updates . . . except the downloads aren't there anymore and they expect you to use wifi, which it doesn't have I'm pretty sure.
Apparently the dealership attempt to fix it was by attempting to upgrade to version 21 of UConnect. They didn't even accomplish that.
Looking at the logs, I got the section name wrong. So I've changed it to:
... it's still OOM-killing the mariadb service
The conf got loaded on reboot, so in theory it's all good, but I should perhaps give it some more swap or RAM (and probably disk space?)
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/systemd/#configuring-the-systemd-service led me to doing this:
I suppose I should perhaps clean up the Nextcloud warnings first.
Currently:
Current version is 29.0.7.
Current status:
Current version is 28.0.10.
Yeah, Tekore 4.6.1 worked but earlier 5.x versions didn't, I mean cheers to that project for actually taking semantic versioning seriously?
Hmmmm the immediate problem was I didn't have the tekore module installed, but when I install it then I get another error:
The recurring OOM killing of the database server isn't the only issue, alas. As reported to me by Val in Discord, https://kloud.keithzg.ca/pymusicleague/spotify_track_availability.php isn't working right:
Got Nextcloud to 27.1.11, latest is 29.0.7 with 30 in release candidates.
ah, well

Changing the clock to SYNC while having the CV sync out on the Beatstep going into the Liven . . . changes nothing. Nor does any other of the MIDI settings, as far as I can tell. Even setting the Liven to use internal sync results in silence once Play is pressed (unless it's held, and until rebooting the Liven).
Ohhhhh I was just skimming past the part with all the instructions for GUIs I wasn't using before and missed
amidi -p hw:1,0,0 -s Liven_8bit_Warps_v3.0.76_2023-09-15.syx -i 60just sits there, and the unit doesn't react at all. I tried both from booted normally, and booting while holding PTN to get to the menu that lists the firmware info.
Like https://gearspace.com/board/electronic-music-instruments-and-electronic-music-production/1378662-sonicware-liven-xfm-sync-issues.html but I can add the following odd details:
Maybe configure with --no-ytk? Well that failed on missing gtkmm, lets install that via too then.
