LOL I found the github page before the website when I discovered it. So many folks mention Handbrake, but after canceling my Adobe subscription, using this was the first time I wasn't missing Adobe Media Encoder.
I feel like it's a nice intermediate step when learning the commands. man is great when you already know you have the right tool and you just need to check a flag. A newbie who just left Windows is gonna be so overwhelmed by a lot of manpages, but this does a nice job of easing them in using examples to give the user an idea of what that tool is capable of.
ffmpeg is great, and doing simple things is pretty straightforward, but if you work with a lot of media and do different kinds of operations, give Shutter Encoder a shot, it's an amazing FOSS GUI tool for ffmpeg, yt-dlp, and more!
A couple years ago when I was preparing for a possible future exodus from Discord, I tried to self-host a Revolt instance, but I found that it was lacking in some important features, and there was some internal drama going on about licensing. I don't know the specifics, but it felt messy at the time and I ended up just hosting a Matrix instance instead. I haven't seen what it's like these days.
Not anymore I'm afraid. IT at Ford is abysmal, a lot of times you can't reach anyone, and other times you have like 5 people reach out about a resolved and closed issue over a week.
People often lie about restarting, and IT is pretty aware of that. In my experience, I've gotten a lot of love in situations where IT is onboarding hardware for me and having issues, and I say "hold on, let me try restarting real quick".
My phone voice is so feminine that people often call me ma'am on the phone. I've worked at an AutoZone and had a customer walk in asking about a woman on the phone and I am HIDING IN THE BACK because there were no women employed at that store. In general my voice tends to be on the higher register, but when I try to sound extra polite it just sounds that way.
Nah, I'm pretty open as well. I get the idea that the conduct is similar to talking to strangers IRL, and I wear my heart on my sleeve and open myself up completely. Old habit from trying to accept things by telling others about it, and just kept going.
As a kid I always thought a lot of stuff taught was like, duh, so obvious. It took being thrown in the adult world to see hmm... I guess... not obvious enough???
I don't really bother encrypting my personal PC, there's just not much on there at all that I even store. My server is definitely LUKS encrypted, but it's a lot of effort for a very specific attack vector that I don't anticipate. There's things I'd be much more concerned about a burglar stealing than a storage device.
I was at the broadcast meeting for employees. They obviously spoke very underhandedly, but also it was incredibly rushed, seeing it pop up on my calendar the evening before. They really wanted to make sure those employees got canned before the holiday break.
My father-in-law tells me almost every time we visit about how I need to "get with the times" and "find a way AI works for me". I get real tired of his insinuation that if I don't adopt it I'm just going to be forever out of a job.
