  • I hate people who only release their App on flatpak

  • this? https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Shortwave

    I think on a system like that you shouldn't even run a GUI or a window manager at most. What is the service that is actually using though, it links to this https://www.radio-browser.info/ I guess I see you can play stations directly from that. It seems it makes more sense to use like lynx browser or something to just browse that website directly.

    I've clicked like 10 of them they are all mp3 or aac. mpv or vlc can decode those on the command line and play it with using like 15-100mb of space on your storage. Like this random station for example https://stream-uk1.radioparadise.com/aac-320

    all in all your total install should be like 400mb

  • or statically compiling literally everything then you got 50 copies of the same thing like windows & macos!

  • It's very efficient for what it does. and your programs will actually open.

  • Video Pirate Question

  • There are no lossless copies of any movie that have ever been released to the public

    Delivery formats (h265, h264, h263 etc) are compressed and lossy.

  • You need to do 2 pass encoding. You should also not use CRF. You should pick a bitrate for the file size you want. Do a first pass which analyzes the video to see which sections require more data, and then run a second pass which will give high bitrate to more action scenes and lower bitrate to the credits and slower talking scenes.

    Some action scenes require 5 times more data to look as good as a talking dinner scene, you couldn't even notice the quality difference but the bitrate requirement is literally 5 times more.

    You also need to use the slow preset and use x265 if you're doing this to archive the stuff forever. Do it once and do it right.

  • Lossy to lossy generally doesn't matter, that is why people transcode over the web on their media players and the video seems fine, they are doing lossy to lossy on the fly there. What is actually stupid is saving media that is 100gb that you ALWAYS have to transcode to play, so no matter what you're ramping up your wattage use to play a file. This is also why 99.9999% of consumed media is compressed, you can't play it otherwise. Internet would explode too.

    Likewise can size a jpeg down from 4000kb to 1000kb and it'll likely be almost identical and good enough for most cases. There are certainly zero handheld devices you'd be able to notice it on.** If you size the 4000kb to 40kb now there will be an actual noticeable difference. There are different levels to all of this. **

    Similarly a 100mb wav file should be a 10mb mp3 and you can't tell the difference. You couldn't even tell the difference with a 3mb mp3 file.

  • it will result in visible and audible distortion

    This is completely wrong, it "might" be visible is accurate. The actual answer is "that depends"

  • If a file is 5000kbps and you use 3000kbps you now have 25-50% savings like he just said. Nothing is overestimated, you can encode to w/e you want. This is how lossy encoding works, for everything.

  • you can re-encode something at literally any bitrate, this isn't relatable at all to "zipping a zip file" this is "opening a zip file, opening the document inside, removing data you don't need, resaving it and rezipping it"

  • Implementing a spellchecker on 64 kB of RAM back in the 1970s led to a compression algorithm that's technically unbeaten and part of it is still in use today

  • nginx is a reverse proxy and quite easy to use. You generally would have it in front of anything you host, no matter what it is. There are very few things I'd trust directly exposed.

    Ghost is the most full featured self hosted blogging platform other than wordpress. If he doesn't care if people read it or not there are plenty options to just privately post your crap (which is what I do so I can go back and reference) however you probably don't want that since you want "option for non registered users"

    As far as security goes running Hugo and generating static sites is about as secure as it gets, no backend no user interaction though

    He can also sign up on any of the news/blog sites and post there like medium etc.

  • I actually hope they start getting banned from reddit and make a few conservative lemmys for that reason too. The corporate centralized control is worse than them having a corner to circle jerk in. web has taken a very bad turn the last 20 years. It's easy enough for people to block the instance
