@ins0mniak The lain post? Yeah, apparently 2.5.0 fixes a lot of performance issues. Let's all love Lain!Have you done any packet radio stuff with RTL dongles? Stuff like axlisten apparently wants a microphone device, not a dongle.

@p Yeah, postgresql was driving me nuts.I switched my instance over to the M1 because the load was causing constant 500 and json errors, but then the same shit was going on once I moved it. I was fucking around all morning with the postgrsql config, finally I just cranked everything up as much as I could for this board and now everything is chilling fine. It's not using any more ram but the CPU is now running normally. Weird.Huh, I wonder why it would want a microphone device? Every SDR program I've ever used required a dongle. Perhaps it's missing a library or something?

@ins0mniak > finally I just cranked everything up as much as I could for this board and now everything is chilling fine. It's not using any more ram but the CPU is now running normally. Weird.Weird, indeed.> Every SDR program I've ever used required a dongle.So, the SDR works fine, I can use gqrx, etc. But the AX.25 stuff predates SDR, they're for decoding packet radio stuff, right, so the idea is that you tune your radio to the right frequency, then plug it into the mic port and the speaker, and axlisten just dumps the traffic coming over the air, but there's some other stuff that, like, exposes something like a serial terminal and you can trade messages back and forth, or some like ax25d that actually run some BBS-like software.I figure with all the interest in SDR lately, someone would have written something that bypasses the microphone interface and just looks at the SDR, but I don't know. All the axtools stuff want a microphone. I think you, dubh, and @kgblst80 are the main RF-knowing people around these parts. There's data in the air, it's impossible to resist.

@p @kgblst80 Yeah fuck if I know. Tuning postgres is always a slog of adjusting and adjusting until it works properly.But yeah as to your radio, I've seen a few projects out in the wild for transferring data and such over the waves. I don't think I've ever used ax.25 tho. I seem to remember reading about it being used in the Gulf war but I could be wrong about that. I can ask around, I know one of the guys who works on Gnu-radio, I'll see if he has any inside info.But yeah man, data in the air. Gets me worked up just thinking about it.

I seem to remember reading about it being used in the Gulf war but I could be wrong about that.Basically, it's the main protocol for amateur radio. There are, like, BBSs and stuff, even chains of relays so messages can hop relays across the earth.

@kgblst80 @p Yeah for real, in this case it's so strange. I increased the ram two fold but it doesn't seem to be taking advantage of it, however the stress on the CPU is substantially lower. I'm wondering if it just has something to do with how it reads the config file. From what other people have said, updating postgres eliminates several performance issues, so that might be my project later today once I chip away at all the other stuff I should be doing. >i'm also looking into this as i have time today. Yeah, I'm super curious as well. I'm familiar with the concept P's describing but I just haven't ever used the one he's talking about. I'm really interested now, especially with this microphone situation.

@kgblst80 @p I'm still on 13 as of right now, but that may change later on today.My instance is only a single user instance, running on an M1 board. It's got plenty of juice and ram so it's been extra frustrating dealing with db errors. >well, we can all keep this thread hot with information we findI have a few books on SDR I can upload if anybody wants them otherwise yeah....perma-sdr thread.

@kgblst80 @ins0mniak > mask the systemd unit for swap partition:alexjoneswat:> the systemd unit:alexjonesno:> systemd:alexjonesdemons:> memory is so abundant i'd be hesitant to swap these days.I have been running everything without swap for maybe ten years or so. Recently started using zram swap, though, which has been pretty good.

@p @ins0mniak @kgblst80 realistically unless you are compiling shit the OS doesn't need to swap anything over 8GB we have it configured in ours but swappiness is very fair so it's rarely if ever used. we did attempt to stuff postgresql WAL in ramdisk tho but it didn't really speed much up since the NVMes for that are in a raid config

@graf @ins0mniak @kgblst80 If you're compiling shit, it shouldn't swap anyway, it's just gonna thrash. zram swap does have the nice benefit of being able to cash the contents of ramdisks, though, so if I dump some stupid big thing in /tmp it will sometimes go live in swap.> we did attempt to stuff postgresql WAL in ramdisk tho but it didn't really speed much up since the NVMes for that are in a raid configNice.
