Using nix to maintain my fleet with automated updates so I didn’t really need to worry about it thankfully. All my services are nice and up to date yay

What I’m excited for today is to progress personal slop project (be gentle) I started yesterday. Hoping it’ll just be one or two weekends.

I’ve been hallucinating a transcoding suite/workbench. Includes experimental sampling matrix of ffmpeg settings with a composable / layer-based project configuration; rust egui+mpv desktop client. Then the hosted orchestration server can distribute ffmpeg jobs across my worker machines (via my local headscale tailnet). Output produces a project+metadata bundle that includes hand-picked source:result JXL frame comparisons alongside both human readable reports and client readable configuration that makes the projects (more or less) reproducible (with worker tool env versioning via nix flake.lock) and logs provenance.

I intend for this to be a replacement to the piles of crappy python scripts I’ve been using for the last decade; my current workflow is to move files into host-labeled ingest folders with a an argument string in a text file then ssh to the host to run the job.

But what I’m most excited for is the experimentation matrix. I hope that it will reduce my electricity usage and disk thrashing; it will let me sample settings for ~1minute of footage around the sample frame and let me iterate my tuning much faster. Currently, it’s faster (in terms of hands-on time) to just transcode whole episodes or even entire seasons and multiple times with different settings and then just discard the ones that underperform. Extremely wasteful; assembling Matrix is something I’ve always wanted, but never had the time to build (and still don’t, hence slop).

That’s okay. I don’t need to play it because I already won first place on Manaan using a modified swoop bike I scored from Taris before the Sith leveled it.

I’m number one so why try harder

One of the most slimy motherfuckers alive. Believes nothing. The man would curbstomp babies with his classic soulless smile if the consultant polls showed it would boost his numbers

I don’t know. I think that if you built the receptacle right, It could probably work pretty well… Most deadbolts are pretty shit in general, so, even an naive attempt probably wouldn’t be that much worse. For a metal door with a chunky insert, I think it would work fine. For any other kind of door, I think you’d probably need at least a frame or large plate to distribute the loads. Huh…

.hack//sign and gundam seed are both pretty iconic for me. Guilty Crown is full of bangers.

Looks like Sony is going full self-destruction mode.

Rest in piss, I guess

Whatever the heck Leadale is

“The Geneva checklist” is a common one

However they’ve banned games without reason many times. Wanting to be a broad marketplace is fine, but I just wish they were either committed to the bit or went back to curation because they had a higher density of good games back in the days of Greenlight.
