I've made a thing! A new version of an UUID encoding I came up with 12+ years ago. There might even be one or two people here who remember me giving my first Tech Talk at work about this back then.

Next to the PostgreSQL version that I shared, I always had implementations in the languages I worked with, and I improved the encoding a bit further in the last years, and just published an implementation in Go:

https://github.com/sdassow/go-sort64id

Random advice peeps: do not use `btoa` for encoding in production.

> Failed to execute 'btoa'. string to be encoded contains characters outside of the Latin1 range.

Use something like `Base64.encode` instead

Mam plik tekstowy oryginalnie napisany/zapisany na Windowsie XP w notatniku. Jest po polsku.

Niestety jak go teraz otwieram to mi wyskakują krzaczki gzie powinne być polskie literki, bo nie ten zestaw znaków.

Czy ktoś wie jaki zestaw znaków używał polski Windows XP w notatniku?

@74 i @dos informują mnie że to Windows -1250! Dziękuję pięknie i jutro będę próbowała zmienić zestaw na jakiś bardziej nowoczesny

WTF is this? #video #encoding #rugby #TV

Hi!has someone ever used #ffmpeg in a #Linux distribution and been able to create a shortcut (in desktop or in any config menu) for video #encoding and #decoding instead of using the terminal everytime? I am just geting started on this and I would like to know if this is a possibility. THANK YOU

Handbrake 1.9 | Covers video conversion needs on Linux - support for lossless VP9 encoding added

Lossless? Convert a video while keeping 100% original quality.

What else?

◉Backup your Blu-Ray discs in full
◉Subtitle burn-in improvement
◉Intel QSV VVC hardware video decode support (H.266)
◉Option for AV1 screen content coding (Intel Lunar Lake QSV AV1)
◉Power Save option now pauses the encodes if needed

So my former colleague @jstepien is a brillant engineer / speaker / teacher, but the thing he'll be internet famous for is how websites can't handle his name . https://wtf-8.stępień.com is really funny, though.

How many deps do you think are to much for a #Rust project.
My current project has an actix_web frontend, with self build authentication and OTP, file encryption accessing system stats and managing an FTP server. It uses a .toml file to store its data. It also compresses images.

I'm joining the three 4K webcam views for the month of June into one 3-panel time lapse video. Unfortunately, filter_complex isn't supported with the mac videotoolbox hardware accelerator. So instead of maybe 5-10fps, which would be slow but tolerable, we're encoding at 0.4fps.

It will take about 30 hours to complete on the 2018 iMac (quad core Intel i5 3.4GHz)

I wonder if I can recompile ffmpeg on this thing to enable one of the hardware encoders that could support this filter!

Everyone should have a pet-OCD, and my obsession is esoteric encoding schemes. That kept me awake last night, and now I'm giving in.

Part 1 of a handful; from idea to product, I present you "How to convert arbitrary binary data into English sentences and back again."

Part 2 in the making.
