No, that guy holding a swastika flag at a Nazi march isn’t a Nazi. You don’t know anything else about him!

I don’t need to, though - and now, I don’t need to know anything else about the guy who said that, either.

I hate how transparent and low-effort your trolling is. Yes, there are Nazis in Ukraine. They’re not in power, and it still doesn’t justify Russia’s unprovoked war of aggression.

Now, before you spout off about literally anything else to avoid addressing that point: don’t bother. Instead, try harder. We’ll still see you for what you are, but at least it might be more of a challenge and you might experience some character growth along the way.

Why didn’t the person that died just not die? Are they stupid?

• A person who was not there and did nothing to help

I am not patronising and that was not my intent. Read whatever you want into it of course, I can’t stop you.

Well, sure, and I appreciate your sanguinity haha! I just main support, and felt your question deserves a proper answer.

I am planning on answering when I’m at a computer, as well, because I actually do have a matrix server set up with Synapse and MAS. Quick question though, when you ask how it works, do you mean the actual backend, or are you asking if the performance/user experience is good?

Don’t get me wrong, suggestions are appreciated, but you’re answer is absolutely typical of a Stack overflow “huhuh well don’t do it wrong then” comment. You could have, for example, said you don’t use Synapse but this is why you like Continuwuity. (edit: not prescribing speech, giving an example of how your comment could have read better)

As well, I take issue with the idea that people can only ask for help in sanctioned forums. This is a self-hosting community, after all; I am here not only to learn but to share what I learn, which I thought was the whole point.

What is this, StackOverflow? You didn’t answer their question and instead just told them to use a different solution.

Never gonna happen. Every time you try to judge, everyone just end up looking at pictures of cats all day.

Ick. I’ve only had a few cups of pre-ground coffee in my life, because they were uniformly awful. I’d believe dead cockroaches are why, for sure.

What gives you’re instance of anything any importance.

As in, why would anyone sign up on my instance? Why would anyone come see my content?

Answer me this: Why would they have to sign up, or come to my instance, to see my content? If I’m not broadcasting objectionable shit, my instance will remain federated, so everyone will see posts from me and my instance on their preferred instance. And I’ll see all their content, on my own instance.

The problem you’re imagining is already solved. Even if a big popular instance gets bought, or taken over by fiat, defederation works as a solution; the content is posted by users, so there’ll just be an explosion of content from a different instance as everyone moves.

Ah, I’ll put in a zoom feature, that’s a good idea!

Remind me of the hardware you’re running on? 22 hours for a 4k HDR movie sounds about in the ballpark for converting on CPU. I’ve just switched to Linux (Mint, not Cachy) and I think there’s an issue with detecting GPU on Linux, so this’d track (or you have Precision Mode enabled) - if you see “libx265” or “libx264” in the top right, you’re on CPU. I’m looking into this one.

Can I ask which version you downloaded? I’ll look into the DVTools/MP4box issue.

Also, yes, I removed the codec and container selection boxes - it’s HEVC/MKV by default unless you go for “Compatibility Mode” in which case you get H.264/MP4. “Preserve AV1” of course preserves AV1 which is incompatible with MP4 so they’re mutually exclusive.

So… How’s it working? 😅 (Just realised it’s been a while since I’ve touched HISTV and this came to mind, I’ve been working on my business and day job)

Ah, what version did you try? This is due to issues with the renderer, but I just got this fixed by disabling GPU drawing for the form last night. Give 2.5.9 a go 😊

Hey, I haven’t made a full post about this yet, but I thought you’d like to know: v2.5.0 is out, and it implements quietvoid’s tools for DoVi support! https://github.com/obelisk-complex/histv-universal/releases

It’ll even handle DV 5 and 7 😊

Yes, it does imply it. It’s the most common association for mushroom clouds in our media since the bombs were dropped. Doesn’t guarantee it of course, but to act as though “they’re unrelated and anyone making the association is ignorant” would be an indefensible position.

Sweet as, lmk if you have any questions or run into any issues! 😊

This is how I know I’m old. I consider the “Reddit API debacle” recent history.

Whether it’s an alternative depends on what you use Handbrake for. HISTV can’t convert ISO or rip discs, it only converts video files. If you just use Handbrake to get smaller videos, HISTV will work for you without having to use more controls than it would take to launch the space shuttle 😅

Thanks for your patience, took me a minute to get my VM up and running so I could test the Flatpak, but it’s working and with no permissions: https://github.com/obelisk-complex/histv-universal/releases/tag/v2.3.6

By which I mean “Replace source” works out of the box with no permissions; in order for “Place next to source” output to work, you’ll have to give permission to the folder via flatseal (as you noted).

I’ve got a few more updates to make - I’m simplifying the UI a little, and I’m adding the ability to transcode AV1 - and then I’ll work on getting it building entirely offline in order to submit it to the Flathub store for review. Great suggestion, I appreciate it! (👉ﾟヮﾟ)👉

Ah-ha, thanks for the update on Docker! Saves me going down that rabbit hole 😅

On the files on the NAS: yep, that’s by design. My files are across the WAN, not LAN, so I built it to stage remote files locally before transcoding. It currently pulls a file, transcodes it, and moves it wherever you chose for output. This does mean that going over a network is slow, because you have to wait for the staging and cleanup before doing another file. That’s deliberately conservative though; I wanted to avoid saturating networks in case the network operator takes exception to that sort of thing. A secondary benefit is that the disk space required for operations is just twice the size of the source file - very low chance of having to pause a job because the disk monitoring detected there’s no room.

I’ll look at putting in an override that disregards the network and treats remote files as local for you!
