Unpaid Linux ambassadors? Isn’t that just Lemmy?
Wanted to duplicate my items in D2 (I was young). Instead the file I was instructed to try made me drop all of my items. Jokes on them though, my gear was trash at the time.
Honestly I don’t know, but it seems to me like extracting every single frame of a video as a lossless PNG is only really something that’s necessary if you’re trying to archive something or do frame by frame restoration. Either way, it is something that you hopefully aren’t doing every day, so why not just let it run overnight & move on?
Otherwise ask yourself if you can settle with just extracting a single clip/section, or what’s actually wrong with lossy jpeg with a low -qscale:v (high quality) - start around 5 and work down until you visually can’t see any difference

for reasons I don’t completely understand, Resilio Sync connections seem to be quicker and more reliable
Resilio runs a “relay” server to facilitate connections where neither peer has properly set up port forwarding. Only downside of Resilio is its not open source, so you just kinda have to take their privacy policy at face value. As long as op isn’t sending something super sensitive though, it probably is no big deal.
Lemmy and snarky references back to Reddit like that ex-girlfriend you’ve “totally moved on from”
Definitely no, viruses need 48-72 hours of incubation before the .mkv host becomes contagious. If the file is <24 hours old, I’d look for another source.
If you’re worried your computer might be infected, you should consider swapping your case LEDs with UV lights to purify your system.

Quick Answer
Based on the available information, the “slipping on a banana peel” gag has been a staple of comedy films since the early 20th century. The first known appearance of this gag on the big screen was in the Charlie Chaplin movie “By the Sea”, where Chaplin’s character “The Tramp” tosses a banana peel on the ground and then slips on it later. [1][2]
The banana peel gag was soon adopted by other silent film stars like Buster Keaton, who featured it in his 1928 film “The Cameraman”. [3] The gag continued to be used in comedy films throughout the 20th century, including in the 1926 Harold Lloyd film “For Heaven’s Sake”. [4]
However, the available information does not mention any specific 1980s comedy movies that featured the banana peel gag. The gag seems to have been more prevalent in the silent film era and earlier decades of the 20th century. [1][5]

I personally find it much better than DDG, and only a slight improvement over Brave. DDG’s reliance on Bing leaves me !banging my way out almost half the time.
Great insight, really contributing to the community
So, like every multiplayer game released in the last decade?
Why have a policy at all around abandoning games? Only buy games that are DRM free.
Hell, why regulate anything? Let the free market decide, just don’t buy it, bro.
I think the regulation would kick in to force publishers to enable users to set up servers of they shutter the official ones
Look, I definitely get it, but just a note, encoding 100+ 4k HEVC movies is going to take months of time at full PC loads. It’s a subtle cost, but depending on your electricity rate, running a 200W PC 24/7 for 3 months straight may hurt your bottom line more than it helps.
If you already have the storage, the cheapest option may be just to keep it. If you’re looking to increase the size of your collection it may be about even to save 6 TB via encode and to buy an extra 6TB disc, depending on your setup
You’re about to embark on a massive journey and I wish you the best of luck :D
Compressing 110 4K movies is going to be a long encode time, but it will be so nice to digitize that collection.
First question: if you already have them ripped and stored, do you even need to re-encode them? If you have a powerful enough Jellyfin server for transcoding, that may be enough.
That said, if you’re looking to optimize for space and quality, there’s some questions to ask:
proprietary (but ubiquitous) HEVC or the emerging open standard AV1? It’s going to be a lot easier finding tips/guides for HEVC.
Constant Rate Factor (CRF), or Average Bit Rate (ABR). CRF tends to be more straightforward if you have a varied collection of content because it let’s the encoder choose settings to deliver consistent quality. 2-pass average bit rate is good if you have a target size or compatibility in mind - great for squeezing out the absolute optimal quality if you’re trying to fit on a Blu-Ray disc or meet certain streaming criteria, but 2x the encode time (hence “2-pass”) can be a tough sell.
Stick with software encoding, steer clear of hardware solutions like NVENC. They’re crazy fast, but inconsistent quality.
There’s some guides out there on converting DV to HDR 10+ etc, but I don’t have a lot of experience with that process.

I think, regardless of where you’re donating from, this means less overhead and your money goes a little bit farther on the charity’s side, which is a win for everyone.
You’re right though that it’s not tax deductible for you, so the amount you can donate does not change, just the effectiveness of those dollars.
why are they ‘going away from being a 501c3?
You’ve got it backwards. They’re dissolving their old non-501©(3) Foundation that they use to manage their finances currently, and becoming a part of an existing 501©(3) called Software in the Public Interest (SPI)
TL;DR from the article, they’re doing this to:
