On Website Technicals (2019-07) - Tech updates: improved video support, HTTPS, search impressions vs clicks, FFmpeg vs AVconv, line-height. - https://m.earth.org.uk/note-on-site-technicals-26.html
I've got initial `av1an` support into the Sisyphus encoding system. Updated the Dockerfile for `av1an`, added `svt-av1-psyex` with HDR10 and Dolby Vision support, and even installed the `lsmash` Vapoursynth plugin for fast scene detection/chunking. I still need to get `ffmpeg` compiled with support for `svt-av1-psyex`, but I'll deal with that in the future once I get encodes running and working.

Today's important open-source software in our pipeline for #FreeSoftwareAdvent has been mentioned before. It's the video encoder/decoder #ffmpeg
We're using it to create h264 preview clips. At some point in the past it was essential for decoding proprietary files that clien…
Welp, from my PoV, all sides are wrong.
There is a difference between bug reports generated by AI to spam curl devs and AI generated bug reports sent by Google to FFmpeg devs that are accurate. Calling them slop is hardly true.
"We would rather not know there is a vulnerability in our software" is a terrible take.
Also, I would like to say that maybe it is unreasonable for a software with so little funding to want to support all codecs that were ever invented becaus…
Started the official rewrite of the Sisyphus client in #golang, working on getting the Ffmpeg command-line tasks parsed and validated against the schema. This should make things easier to distribute with respect to the client as I can just distribute static binaries.

It is youtube-dl and ffmpeg in a trenchcoat, isn't it?

Okay, initial thoughts on the Thinkpad P14s Gen 6:
- The laptop is better behaved thermally and noise-wise than the X1C with the Intel Core 155U.
- The CPU and GPU seem to be sipping power (3W/3W) which is nice. I haven't punched the CPU yet with something like a vicious `ffmpeg` AV1 encode.
- Replacing RAM/NVMe isn't too painful, the screws in the bottom case of the laptop are captive. Still have to deal with some plastic clips.
- The screen is fine, nothing to…

Ich zeichne aktuell meine Vorlesungen wieder auf und wollte jetzt mal probieren, wie viel Aufwand es ist ein Short aus einem Moneyquote zu machen. Antwort:bisl zu viel. Man muss bei der Aufnahme schon irgendwie dran denken, die richtige Stelle wieder finden, schneiden (ffmpeg), Ausschnitt anpassen auf Hochkant (shotcut), audio optimieren (auphonic).
Jetzt habe ich es 1x durch (ca. 40 Minunten). Würde beim nächsten Mal etwas schneller gehen. Aber macht das jetzt die Welt besser?
