alright that's fair, i was being too bitter and critical, perfect shouldn't be the enemy of good, and it certainly shouldn't accuse good of being propaganda

I'm just saying that creating green energy sources is not sufficient evidence that someone actually cares about climate change issues unless it has results

without a matching drop in emissions, any country/business who participates in "green energy" is just doing propaganda

mine is also my mom's homemade strawberry jam, though her peach jam is a close second

asking for forgiveness rather than permission sorta just seems to be their policy these days, yeah?

guy who has only seen south african expats, watching his second emigration: getting a lot of "south african expat" vibes from this

Is there a song for the battle between Sabaton hater and Sabaton thread?

so to find your partner in a crowd while wearing a blindfold all you'd have to do is take your pants off?

huh, thanks!

can somebody explain what the Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated plot has to do with this post

the worst kind of interactive loading screen is one that is fun on a game that loads quickly.

This is of course a problem that should only be complained about and never fixed, please don't make your game load slower just so that i have enough time to press buttons

I'm sorry my subtitles worked fine from the beginning so I don't know what to tell you. I've got a pi4 running osmc as my media center if that makes any difference.

oh hey I've actually done this recently so a lot of this is fresh for me. Now I had a slightly different use case than you, I had a bunch of AV1 files that wouldn't run on my pi so I had to convert them to something less GPU intensive. I was finding x265 was indistinguishable for me from AV1, and had a HUGE file size drop, close to a half or even a third. x264 had a larger file size than 265 and looked worse so I don't recommend it. I did not try VP9 once I was satisfied with 265 but you could try it out and see how it compares. My recommendation is to pick one (shorter) file and run a couple of different transforms on it till you're satisfied before trying to transform your entire library

Preserving audio and metadata is trivial, just use -c:a copy for audio and -c:d copy for metadata

EDIT: I feel dishonest not mentioning the important caveats regarding my own experiments. My files were 1080p, so the difference between codecs might be less noticeable at that resolution. It was also anime, which is similarly going to be easier to compress and be less distinct between codecs. This is why I cannot recommend x264 because if you can ruin 1080p anime it'll ruin whatever you're working with. This is why I recommend picking a sample video and spend a day running a couple test transformations on it to see what you like

i don't know about this place but i know with a lot of other delivery options the "fee" does not go to the employees, it's just extra money because they can

12 hour clock supremacy, no other format gives you access to the titty wizard kitty

I'm starting a new social media which is just pictures and short form video of crabs

if i remember correctly, it would be E2EE (WhatsApp and Messenger are too) but Meta stores the encrypted message on their server

I myself have launched several new git repos in the last decade. Where's my article TechCrunch?
