Specifically, I have main and sub feeds, with sub-feeds doing mocord (record 247 but tag events), and the main feeds doing nodect, linked to the sub feed (so detection happens on the 480p feed, and if there's motion, it starts recording the 1080p high bitrate feed). text/html 2026-06-18T08:31:24+00:00 Tony (tony@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.tonytascioglu.com/index?rev=1781771484 Main Page Welcome to Tony Tascioglu's personal knowledge-base and wiki collection!

So if you are in the monopolized area of Xfinity in the US, you may (or may not) be aware that their hotspot network is pretty strong. Since most subscribers use the default modem, and the default setting on it enables the hotspot functionality, most of your neighbours are already emitting the hotspot. text/html 2026-04-23T07:17:41+00:00 Tony (tony@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.tonytascioglu.com/articles/using_a_polycom_soundstructure_as_an_audio_mixer?rev=1776928661 Using a Polycom Soundstructure as a Digital Audio Mixer Introduction So I found that you can get your hands on a “teleconference processor” such as the Polycom Soundstructure C16 for surprisingly cheap. I only happen to have one since a seller threw it in when I was buying a Crestron DMPS-300 for cheap to use as an HDMI video switcher text/html 2026-01-26T19:41:50+00:00 Tony (technotony@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.tonytascioglu.com/scripts/media/apply_eq_directly_in_pipewire?rev=1769456510 Apply Headphone EQ Directly In Pipewire I have DT770m headphones that need EQ to be decent. I used to use easyeffects but it required a lot of extra load. Pipewire already has a native equalizer (or can use LV2/LADSPA plugins). So, it made sense to just do the EQ in pipewire. text/html 2025-12-31T06:06:29+00:00 Tony (tony@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.tonytascioglu.com/articles/amd_sunshine_moonlight_h264_vs_h265?rev=1767161189 Comparing AMD GPU Moonlight+Sunshine Streaming Using H264 AVC vs H265 HEVC To my eyes, in certain conditions, H.264 looks better than H.265 when running Sunshine and Moonlight from my desktop to laptop.

If you want colorimeter results, this ain't it chief, So I recently purchased this QD-OLED monitor as I've been wanting to give another go at OLED displays. text/html 2025-09-29T19:06:39+00:00 Tony (technotony@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.tonytascioglu.com/scripts/files/setting_up_luks_hard_drive?rev=1759172799 Setting up an encrypted hard drive with LUKS and BTRFS Simple mode, adding to this site to serve as reference for friends.

When programmers made music. From the era when you had CPU power to just play PCM samples. Not enough CPU to decompress a full file, but not enough storage to store a full PCM track.
