I used to be on kbin as e0qdk@kbin.social before it broke down.

  • !animepics@reddthat.com -- people mostly post fan art these days, but discussion of anything anime-adjacent (anime/manga/VN/hentai/etc.) is explicitly allowed too. In the past I've posted amusing/interesting stills from shows I was watching, custom image composites, screenshot comics, and things like that.

  • If you have installed Linux on a Microsoft Surface Pro, what was your experience?

    Jump

  • I tried booting an old Surface off a USB stick with stock Ubuntu once -- probably either 20.04 or 22.04. (I tried this in June 2022 but didn't make a note of the versions in my journal, unfortunately.) I was able to get it to boot, but I couldn't get touch/pen controls working so I decided against replacing the OS. I didn't have enough enthusiasm to bother experimenting with it further -- I assume it probably needed the custom kernel.

  • There is absolutely no reason whatsoever that a security camera needs access to anything.

    NTP is useful to correct clock drift, but otherwise, I'd agree.

  • kbin.social has been totally down for a while. I don't think your posts are actually federating when you post into a kbin.social magazine right now; the votes you are getting are probably from other lemmy.world users only.

  • How to render videos with multiple audio tracks with 2 languages (select between tracks)?

    Jump

  • I don't know how to do it with KDE's tools, but on the command line with ffmpeg you can do something like this:

     
            ffmpeg -i video_track.mp4 -i audio_jp.m4a -i audio_en.m4a -map 0:v -map 1:a -map 2:a -metadata:s:a:0 language=jpn -metadata:s:a:1 language=eng -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mp4

    Breaking it down, it:

    • runs ffmpeg
    • with three inputs (-i flag) -- a video file, and two audio files.
    • The streams are explicitly mapped into the result, counting the inputs from 0 -- i.e. -map 0:v maps input 0 (the first file) as video (v) to the output file and -map 1:a maps the next input as audio (a), etc.
    • It sets the metadata for the audio tracks -metadata:s:a:0 language=jpn sets the first audio track (again counting from 0...) to Japanese; the second metadata option sets the next audio track to English.
    • -c:v copy specifies that the video codec should be copied directly (i.e. don't re-encode -- remove this if you DO need to re-encode)
    • -c:a copy specifies that the audio codec should be copied directly (i.e. don't re-encode -- remove this if you DO need to re-encode)
    • output.mp4 -- finally, list the name of the file you want the result written into.

    See documentation here: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html

    If you need another language in the future, I think the language abbreviations are the three letter codes from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-2_codes -- but I'm not certain on that.

  • I ran into an example of the thumbnail issue again today -- this time on a post from kbin: https://old.reddthat.com/post/19193476

    The thumbnail looks like this in the HTML:

     
            <div class="thumb">
      <a class="url"
         href="https://media.kbin.social/media/60/a4/60a45b8ff88b1b2e3a0f77b701feb323c5bbfb7ceeb75154ea7df5d6eea15ef8.jpg"
         >
        <div  style="background-image: url(https://media.kbin.social/media/60/a4/60a45b8ff88b1b2e3a0f77b701feb323c5bbfb7ceeb75154ea7df5d6eea15ef8.jpg?format=jpg&amp;thumbnail=96)"></div>
      </a>
    </div>

    Note that it's making a request to kbin.social with ?format=jpg&thumbnail=96 parameters in the CSS -- which results in the full image being loaded since kbin doesn't run pictrs.

    The versions in use on reddthat (according to the settings page) are:

    lemmy: 0.19.4-beta.7

    mlmym: 0.0.44

  • Personally, I prefer it when people do one of the following:

    • upload the file to catbox.moe and link it here (for clips up to 200MB)
    • upload the file directly to their lemmy instance (if their instance allows it)
    • self-host it on their own web server (with no bullshit crappy JS interface, please -- just give me the file; I'll play it with VLC if it doesn't work in my browser)

    PeerTube is also a reasonable choice -- although I don't like its UI very much.

    Jump

  • I'm having trouble finding an example of the thumbnail issue again right now but I was seeing the pictrs conversion parameters passed to URLs from catbox.moe, i.postimg.cc, and other sources in the CSS for the thumbnail when I reported the issue to Tiff ~3 weeks ago. It's possible that it got fixed/suppressed by another change since then though. (0.0.44 was deployed a few hours ago and I think there may have also been a beta patch bump for the lemmy backend at some point since I reported the issue originally in our local support community.)

    I'll let you know if I see it pop up again.

    For the text handling issue, I was seeing text like "

    <thread title>

    by

    <username>

    in

    <community>

    " (i.e. "<thread title> by <username> in <community>" if it still happens) getting misinterpreted as raw HTML instead of being escaped. (i.e. <!-- raw HTML omitted --> was showing up in the HTML output for the page.)

    You may recognize that text as the pattern for a recently fixed bug in the user profiles; I found the text handling issue while trying to explain the other issue to Tiff a few weeks ago.

    Will edit this comment immediately after posting to let you know if I still see the text issue.

    EDIT: I still see the text issue show up in this comment. https://old.reddthat.com/comment/10370610

  • Thanks! I'll go ask Tiff about getting reddthat updated later.

    BTW, is there a community for discussion of mlmym itself somewhere on lemmy? I can't participate on GitHub, but those aren't the only issues I've found. (e.g. there's also ?format=jpg&thumbnail=96 on non-pictrs links and a text handling issue with angle brackets...)

  • That's great to hear!

  • You can open any profile with multiple pages worth of posts or comments on old.reddthat.com and it's jumbled. Even my own profile is jumbled: https://old.reddthat.com/u/e0qdk

    The first page is mostly comments I made two weeks ago plus a thread from today and some very old threads. The second page has comments I made earlier today and during the past week. The third page starts with my most recent comment and then has a bunch of older comments.

    The exact order might change after posting this, but my own recent comments mostly being on page two has been pretty consistent for a while.

    If I look at a very active user's profile (like MentalEdge's), I see threads from today show up on page three(!) while there are threads from a week or more ago on pages one and two.

    I'm not sure what's going on exactly, but it basically makes user profiles pretty useless right now through mlmym.

    Edit: I can't even find this comment in my profile, but my other reply (regarding the envelope being fixed in 0.0.43) shows up on page 3.

  • I haven't had much issue with lag, generally, but I don't get notifications any more -- which is probably the most pressing issue. (I have to remember to manually check once in a while after I post since the envelope doesn't light up.) That might be an issue with reddthat being on a recent beta version of lemmy -- I don't know.

    We do have lemmy-ui-next over here too. Thanks for reminding me about that. I've been meaning to poke at it a bit.
