Huge Bootleg mp3 add

Leave a comment

Well, it’s about time!  Yesterday, I sent to the server a HUGE bootleg mp3 upload.  26.6GB.  Been wanting to do that since I retired Dec 2020, but amazing that being retired doesn’t mean that you have more free time, it just fills up with lots of other stuff, lol.

This update will certainly appeal to my main QA/QC guy, Ed Wilhelm.  This is because, in 2017 I uploaded three versions of a King Biscuit Flower Hour concert of Foghat.  Ed quickly noted that Slow Ride, track 6 on the three versions all had the same glitch.  That kind of sucked, but I have been searching for almost five years, and found GOOD copies of them, I named them the same, but will soon be replacing the bad copies.  😉

The new bootlegs are already in the playlist rotation on KRAB radio, so you may request them already.  Easiest way to find them is to click on the link above, then click the NEW link in the right frame.  They should be there a month.  If you want to stream KRAB in a browser tab, just click on this stream KRAB radio link.  For those that have ftp or web back door access, they are in the New directory, at least until the next upload.  😀

If you wish log in access to this blog, or to talk about ftp access, the easiest way is to either: call me, email me, or shoot me a Facebook DM.  Well, enough about all that.  What follows below is the bootleg music I added.  Enjoy!!

Security images pruning

Leave a comment

Well, I have been procrastinating about this.  My security videos get saved on the linux security server, and are limited to a month or so.  Daily, those sql event images get combined into an .avi video and saved locally and sent via ftp to my main server.  They DO pile up, though, as evidenced by the image on the right.  1.2TB.  They have been saving since 12 Apr 2018, when I added that feature to the script that I wrote that created the video files from the sql images.  The reason I did that was that it made it easier to review and archive the security alerts.  Hand deleting all those directories would be a major pain in the ass.  Enter this command:  😉

[root@cap Cameras]# find -mtime +365 -exec rm -R {} \;

It took a short while to parse through all the directories, but, eventually it finished. I checked on things with du -h –max-depth=0. The max-depth argument will stop all the sub directories from printing to the screen.  The results are in the image below.  436GB.  That’s quite a bit of space saved.  Now, instead of directory saved images dating back to 2018, there is only one year.  While the find/rm command above is suitable to enter directly into a terminal and have it operate on the current directory, it is rather dangerous to use.  Far better to schedule a potentially dangerous command in the cron.  First step, is to create the command.  In order to do that, as root do: nano /sbin/shear , or the name you choose to use.  I chose shear.  Add this & save: find $1 -mtime +365 -exec rm -R {} \;  If you have sharp eyesight, you will notice that I inserted $1 after find.  This is a command variable.  Last part of creating the command will be to make it executable by root, and not even readable by other users.  Do this  as root to do that; chmod 700 /sbin/shear.  Of course, if you can’t use root directly on your system, then use sudo.  Now, you can directly use the command that you created as:

# shear /path/to/directory/you/wish/. (/sbin/ should be in your path. If you saved it elsewhere not in your path,  </path/shear>) 😉

Final step is to create a crontab entry to run it monthly or so.  crontab -e will allow you to edit your crontab,  Of course, you might have to do sudo crontab -e if you can’t become root.  If you need help with the syntax: cat /etc/crontab.  I also have the MAIL=root commented out, so as not to get emails filling up root’s email box.  Then, restart crond.  That’s it.  If anybody needs a review of crontab and how to use systemctl to restart crond, either reach out to me, or just add a comment, and I’ll create a little tutorial. 😉

Arcade Update 2.59-2.61

Leave a comment

Seems that I always forget one or two things when I roll out an update.  Update 2.58-2.59 was no exception.  I had wanted to make the update script automatically choose whether to run the external hard drive or console update paths.  Now, it does.  Along with one or two other minor things.  While I was working on that, I discovered that about 17 of the Visual Pinball tables did not properly display on the console. This problem didn’t occur on the ext. hard drive installation.  Probably due to the fact that the CPU and gfx on the console are Intel 2nd generation, and Windows 10 wasn’t fully supported until 3rd generation. So, I created a second games list, Games-Console that is only the tables that display on the console, and the Games list is the full VP games list.  An example of the way the VP tables that don’t properly display is on the left.  Totally unplayable.  Since all the tables properly display on my Elitebook laptop with NVIDIA gfx, I felt that the proper solution would be to keep them, so that’s why I created the Console games list. That all being said, I must again remind everybody that updates HAVE to be applied in numerical order, or you shall probably break things.  If in doubt, check your version.

Update 2.59-2.61 is HERE.

Previous update blog posts are below:

Update 2.58-2.59 is HERE.

Update 2.56-2.58 is HERE.

FOUR updates (2.40-2.46, 2.46-2.48, 2.48-2.51, and 2.51-2.56) are HERE.

Bit of news here, in closing:  JRod has ordered a spinner for adding to the Tankstick for games like Tempest, Arkanoid, and many others.  I shall let you all know how it goes….

Visual Pinball Arcade Update 2.58 to 2.59

Leave a comment

Okay, this is the update that a few of you like Dan have been anxiously waiting for.  🙂

This will add Visual Pinball 9.x.x tables under Maximus Arcade as well as a few bug fixes.  As always, I seem to have forgotten something on my ‘to do’ list. (The ability to just do backups from the loader)  Oh well, I’ll get to it next time.  Free lifetime updates mean that sometimes things get forgotten, lol.  This update is a fairly sizable update.  The archive is about 830 MB, and you will want at least 3GB free on the usb flash key that you use to run the update.

The first thing that you all will notice (for those that auto load right into MAME, or those that have multiple emulators configured), that you will be faced with either MAME or Visual Pinball.  So, if you lost configured emulators, or don’t want the VP choice, you will need to go into MA preferences, by hitting Ctrl-P, and then choosing the Display Order tab to set it up as you wish.

After running the update, you will most probably want to set the display preferences of Visual Pinball as the readme guidelines, or else it won’t be fullscreen and will instead run in a window.  In my opinion, that is a less appealing experience.   As you see on the right, is an example of a VP pinball table running full screen. You may also wish to change some of the default keys to other keys o your choice.  For example, the left and right flippers are left and right shift keys.  That may not work for you, and can be changed.

As always, make sure to read the WhatNew text file through at least one time, as well as read it again when the update .bat file loads it.  Also, pay careful attention to the instructions that appear on the screen while the update is running.  At one point, you will have to change the install path to VP, or it will not properly work. 

Okay, click HERE for the 2.58-2.59 update archive.

If you have any issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to me, and I’ll do my best to assist you with your problems. 😉

Now, on to a little bit of news.  RecRoomMasters (maker of the best arcade cabinet kit I ever found) has gone out of business.  For those of you that bought one, I guess your lifetime warranty just ended.  For those of you that procrastinated, and never bought one, you still have hope.  There are other avenues.

A two joystick tankstick with trackball is still available HERE.

A ‘drop in’ spinner control is still available HERE.  (For games like Tempest.)

A full sized ‘naked’ FULLY ASSEMBLED cabinet is HERE. I think it’s a bit more than RecRoomMasters, but it’s assembled.  I think they used to sell these with 250 games, but it may just be the cabinet now.  Email them for details.

Another place that looks pretty cool is the Arcade Guys. Click HERE.

Well, everybody, that gives you a few links in the light of RecRoom Masters demise.  I recommend the tankstick whether you are building a full size arcade cabinet, or if you are just using a console attached to a huge flatscreen TV.  Good quality, and I believe it has a lifetime warranty.

Hard to believe that this arcade console/cabinet has been an ongoing project for 7 years now.  Started with MAME 149, now has MAME 225.  I continue to fix reported bugs (or attempt to, lol), as well as feature additions, so keep your eyes on this blog.  So much easier to do one or two updates at a time.  (Remember, the updates ALWAYS have to be performed in order.)
