cultural reviewer and dabbler in stylistic premonitions


Just… don’t connect them to the internet? Or if you must connect them for dumb shit like system updates, put them behind some access control where the only access they have is the server they get updates from.
I regret to inform you that preventing devices from getting online is getting more difficult: three years ago Amazon began allowing other companies’ products to use their BLE-and-LoRa-based mesh network to get online via your neighbors’ internet-connected devices.


that little triangle means you need to click on the the text in the comment to read the rest of it, because it’s wrapped in a spoiler tag. also fyi you can search twitter without a login using xcancel.com; it takes much less than 5 minutes to do so.


I’m going to need you to drop a source that will take me less than five minutes to understand
are you asking for evidence that lunduke is queerphobic, or that the rust community has a disproportionate number of queer people in it?
or, do you acknowledge both of those things, and are actually suggesting that lunduke’s vehement opposition to rust could maybe conceivably be entirely coincidental and perhaps he dislikes it for purely technical reasons? 😂
in any case, i’m not going to link to lunduke but i just checked and confirmed that (as i assumed) if you simply search his twitter for the word rust you can find many tweets (and i only went back a month) where he is in fact complaining about people being queer.


just post it on lemmy world as a meme, copypaste a comment that makes the code better along with the original code into the AI agent
I’m curious if you succeeded with this approach here - have you gotten your LLM to produce a bash function which you can use without needing to understand how to specify an ffmpeg filename pattern yet?
man ffmpeg-formats where you can find perhaps-useful information like this: segment, stream_segment, ssegment
Basic stream segmenter.
This muxer outputs streams to a number of separate files of nearly
fixed duration. Output filename pattern can be set in a fashion similar
to image2, or by using a "strftime" template if the strftime option is
enabled.
"stream_segment" is a variant of the muxer used to write to streaming
output formats, i.e. which do not require global headers, and is
recommended for outputting e.g. to MPEG transport stream segments.
"ssegment" is a shorter alias for "stream_segment".
Every segment starts with a keyframe of the selected reference stream,
which is set through the reference_stream option.
Note that if you want accurate splitting for a video file, you need to
make the input key frames correspond to the exact splitting times
expected by the segmenter, or the segment muxer will start the new
segment with the key frame found next after the specified start time.
The segment muxer works best with a single constant frame rate video.
Optionally it can generate a list of the created segments, by setting
the option segment_list. The list type is specified by the
segment_list_type option. The entry filenames in the segment list are
set by default to the basename of the corresponding segment files.
See also the hls muxer, which provides a more specific implementation
for HLS segmentation.
Options
The segment muxer supports the following options:
[...]
From the image2 section, here is how the filename pattern works:
sequence
Select a sequence pattern type, used to specify a sequence of
files indexed by sequential numbers.
A sequence pattern may contain the string "%d" or "%0Nd", which
specifies the position of the characters representing a
sequential number in each filename matched by the pattern. If
the form "%d0Nd" is used, the string representing the number in
each filename is 0-padded and N is the total number of 0-padded
digits representing the number. The literal character '%' can
be specified in the pattern with the string "%%".
If the sequence pattern contains "%d" or "%0Nd", the first
filename of the file list specified by the pattern must contain
a number inclusively contained between start_number and
start_number+start_number_range-1, and all the following
numbers must be sequential.
For example the pattern "img-%03d.bmp" will match a sequence of
filenames of the form img-001.bmp, img-002.bmp, ...,
img-010.bmp, etc.; the pattern "i%%m%%g-%d.jpg" will match a
sequence of filenames of the form i%m%g-1.jpg, i%m%g-2.jpg,
..., i%m%g-10.jpg, etc.
And btw, the ffmpeg-formats manual does also include examples:
Examples
• Remux the content of file in.mkv to a list of segments out-000.nut,
out-001.nut, etc., and write the list of generated segments to
out.list:
ffmpeg -i in.mkv -codec hevc -flags +cgop -g 60 -map 0 -f segment -segment_list out.list out%03d.nut
• Segment input and set output format options for the output
segments:
ffmpeg -i in.mkv -f segment -segment_time 10 -segment_format_options movflags=+faststart out%03d.mp4
• Segment the input file according to the split points specified by
the segment_times option:
ffmpeg -i in.mkv -codec copy -map 0 -f segment -segment_list out.csv -segment_times 1,2,3,5,8,13,21 out%03d.nut
• Use the ffmpeg force_key_frames option to force key frames in the
input at the specified location, together with the segment option
segment_time_delta to account for possible roundings operated when
setting key frame times.
ffmpeg -i in.mkv -force_key_frames 1,2,3,5,8,13,21 -codec:v mpeg4 -codec:a pcm_s16le -map 0 \
-f segment -segment_list out.csv -segment_times 1,2,3,5,8,13,21 -segment_time_delta 0.05 out%03d.nut
In order to force key frames on the input file, transcoding is
required.
• Segment the input file by splitting the input file according to the
frame numbers sequence specified with the segment_frames option:
ffmpeg -i in.mkv -codec copy -map 0 -f segment -segment_list out.csv -segment_frames 100,200,300,500,800 out%03d.nut
• Convert the in.mkv to TS segments using the "libx264" and "aac"
encoders:
ffmpeg -i in.mkv -map 0 -codec:v libx264 -codec:a aac -f ssegment -segment_list out.list out%03d.ts
• Segment the input file, and create an M3U8 live playlist (can be
used as live HLS source):
ffmpeg -re -i in.mkv -codec copy -map 0 -f segment -segment_list playlist.m3u8 \
-segment_list_flags +live -segment_time 10 out%03d.mkv
It is actually possible to figure out how to do this and many other ffmpeg tasks even without internet access :)


it’s not obvious but, i’m pretty sure this meme (and its creator’s vehement opposition to rust) is in fact substantially motivated by queerphobia.


Maduro’s VP has expressed a willingness to cooperate with Trump
What makes you think that? Is your news diet limited to Fox/CNN/NPR/etc?
FYI here is a translation of her speech, and here is the video of it.
Her subsequent statement (on Instagram, in English, and which some media is describing as “conciliatory” while selectively quoting from it) can be read here. When you read it in full you can see she is not recanting her earlier statement and is clearly still not distancing herself from Maduro. She is (consistently with him) imploring the US to follow international law and respect Venezuelan sovereignty.
edit: see also


did the US, just conquer a whole nation overnight?
if you only listen to US media you might think so; at the press conference today Trump said “we’ll run it” as if they already control it, and he also claimed that Vice President (now acting president) Delcy Rodríguez told US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that “we’ll do whatever you need”. However, a few hours later:
so, no, although the US has kidnapped their president, at this point in time they have not actually conquered the nation.


Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
Thanks. I’ve edited the post to link to the same source’s text article instead (and linked the corresponding video this post originally linked to in the post body)


i thought the photo in this thumbnail looked familiar, and then realized it’s because I just saw a post from her a minute ago - one of many linking to a very old video of a large crowd in Venezuela falsely claiming that it shows people celebrating the US kidnapping Maduro today.


But you can turn off sealed sender messages from anyone, so they’d have to already be a trusted contact
The setting to mitigate this attack (so that only people who know your username can do it, instead of anybody who knows your number) is called Who Can Find Me By Number. According to the docs, setting it to nobody requires also setting Who Can See My Number to nobody. Those two settings are both entirely unrelated to Signal’s “sealed sender” thing, which incidentally is itself cryptography theater, btw.


You can literally turn off read receipts in signal
But you can’t turn off delivery receipts, which is what this attack uses.


those best practices don’t mitigate the attack in this paper


I can tell you that the GitHub code isn’t the code that’s used
really? given that the license is AGPL and they do have some external contributors, they shouldn’t be running an unpublished branch of the code!

1 reason it’s wrong to me: https://nosystemd.org/
Under “Notable bugs and security issues” there is a big list of issues which were all (afaict) fixed many years ago.
There have been reasonable philosophical objections to systemd, some of which are still relevant, and as that site shows there are still many distros without it, but for the vast majority of desktop users who want something that JustWorks… using a mainstream distro with systemd is the way to go.
