I’ve always used aimp2, but my library broke file path metadata and the fixup tool fails to relocate them. I’ve looked at FOSS and free alternatives, and am not really, fully satisfied with any of them.

IIRC, I found none of them sufficient. Strawberry, Clementine, Audacious, MusicBee; all have dissatisfactory UI / UI structure for me. Foobar is way too minimal. From my exploration, MusicBee was the most reasonable, acceptable for me. The customizable tab setup is a confusing mess too, but otherwise… I’ve been using that for a while.

At some point I started implementing my own music player, making use of the BASS library like aimp2 does. But not much has come of that [yet?].

Maybe I can recover my aimp2 metadata, and will switch back to that.

Does it still require SMS verification? Or was that lifted? That’s where I stopped my out-of-interest signup last time.

/edit: It does not anymore. But my handle is taken now. :(

I’m playing the free hexceed, which - I have to assume - has an automated translation to German.

The exit button is labeled “Ausfahrt”. Which means road exit, not program exit. German has different words for them.

I found it very funny. Seeing the program leave as a road exit. But as a translation it’s bad of course.

Lol, from the Logo history

To PIMP?

I tried getting the warrior to work with Hyper-V. But that doesn’t seem possible or feasible.

Why does warriorhq link to warrior version 3 when there’s a successor version 4 available?

Just like it took a decade for media and mainstream to pick up Reddit, it’ll take a decade for that to seep through.

They are for adult weirdos.

Where do I sign up?

IIRC Windows has an accessibility feature where the cursor jumps to the primary default action in opening dialogs.

Doing it screenshot based seems inefficient if y du could iterate through windows and controls.

Start by hoarding your own data, on your own, existing devices/hardware.

Consider how to categorize or not your data.

Going beyond “that you remember”, Wikipedia has a list.

lol; Thanks Dave Kinne! /s

Note: This is from August. So it’s been a while since then.

I will use AVC and HEVC terminology for h264/x264 and h265/x265 respectively.

For video, you get jumps of compression quality from AVC to HEVC, from 8-bit to 10-bit, and from HEVC to AV1.

Depending on your source material, changing compression settings, like target quality, variable bitrate, etc, can also have significant gains. It will depend on your source and target though, and may need some testing to get “right”. If you’re looking for the best compression, that may be on a file by file basis, because different kinds of video have significantly different compression behavior or concerns. That’s likely not feasible for a mass of files though.

Playback compatibility should also be considered. AVC mp4 is the most compatible, right now, if you consider all kinds of and older mobile and embedded devices. If you’re fine with modern or desktop, you can go for the best compression codecs.

To get an idea of encoding time investment and quality, you can use ffmpeg with default quality settings, and target the different encoding targets.

AV1 10-bit, Opus audio:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:a libopus -c:v libsvtav1 -pix_fmt yuv420p10le out_av1-10bit-opus.mkv

AVC mp4 (when targeting mp4 these codec settings are the default, so in fact don’t have to be specified):

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:a aac -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p out_avc-aac.mp4

HEVC 10-bit, opus:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:a libopus -c:v libx265 -pix_fmt yuv420p10le out_hevc-10bit-opus.mkv

even smaller than it already is (~100MB)
