If stuff is designed for big servers that run Linux, it’s easier to get it to run on a desktop PC if the PC runs Linux too because then it’s the same thing except much less powerful.

It’s a Coop Cage.

DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.

They could always tax the rich, but sure, let’s pretend that the only possible option is the one that helps Russia.

There’s a reason why that government is polling so low that it may not even be the opposition in two weeks.

The UK has spent 12.5 billion pounds on Ukraine in the last 28 months, which at around 5.4 billion per year is 0.4% of the UK’s budget. That’s not an elephant in the room, it’s a mouse under the fridge.

It’s not being mentioned because it isn’t significant. The downvotes are because obvious disinformation is obvious.

That’s because system firmware is designed and tested on Windows, so the supply of new and exciting hardware bugs that need workarounds is endless.

Headline is dumb. If capacitors are better at being batteries than batteries are, they just become the next generation of batteries.

IIRC VLC on Windows uses it’s own included ffmpeg libraries for decoding so you don’t need to mess around with Windows codecs.

This. Removing the $200 Android tablet from the dash isn’t going to make cars suddenly $5,000 cheaper.

That’s double-plus ungood wrongthink, citizen. Report for re-education.

Summon kidney stone.

Well, Nvidia initially didn’t intend to support Wayland at all. They’re being dragged into it kicking and screaming, one step at a time.

I’d argue that if pushing the brakes hard can blow up the brake lines, they already needed fixed.

Praise be to the mighty algorithm.

Depends on what they actually need to do. When it’s a drive that’s working and they just have to image it and run some recovery software it should be pretty cheap.

Clean room repair of dead hard disks is a different story.

If there’s something really important on that disk, don’t do ANYTHING, just unplug it and hand it over to a data recovery company.

If there isn’t anything really important on there, go ahead and try and do it yourself.

Paying $100 to a data recovery company can save you a ton of headaches if it has the only copy of your thesis on there and you mess it up trying to fix things yourself.

I wrote a bit of python earlier, do I have to send you a cheque?

GNU Parallel works well for this kind of thing. A lot of audio stuff is single threaded, so unlike video transcoding running multiple conversions simultaneously is a useful thing to do. The command is simpler, too:

parallel ffmpeg -i {} {.}.opus ::: *.m4a
