ffmpeg command lines are straight up black magic.
Anyone who understands them is not to be trusted.
It’s even worse than tar.
GNU tar is easy and straight-forward.
It’s also completely incompatible with any other Unix, but then, what difference does it make is nobody can use them?
A more complex but more commonly used program is
rsyncrsync -rav /home/user/Documents /mnt/usbdriveis treated differently thanrsync -rav /home/user/Documents/ /mnt/usbdrivewhich is different thanrsync -rav /home/user/Documents /mnt/usbdrive/which is different thanrsync -rav /home/user/Documents/ /mnt/usbdrive/It’s a great tool for making copies onto drives, even servers. But man you have to double check how each folder path is laid out, otherwise it’ll write the files of one folder to the main drive, unorganized.
I recommend
--dry-runand reading the stdout with human readable output-h. And dont use the--deleteflag if you dont know what will happen 😓
ffmpeg commands are one of the best use cases for ChatGPT
If they know Regex, assume you are in Sarumans tower and held captive until a hawk comes in.
Writing regex is easy.
Reading it again after a couple of weeks…
Tbh the frequent pain from needing to read it again often happens because it was so hard to write correctly that it misbehaves on some data and you need to adjust it.
ASS (Advanced Substation Alpha)
Fantastic sub format for anime.
I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana
Loanwords
I know, but why? Not trying to be a hater but why not just use the native words?
Same reason some English people will use Japanese words? I don’t know.
Then why respond?
They transliterated it as English: “Great” being written like “Go Ra To” or something similar instead of using the Kanji 大 pronounced as “Dai”. Same with Sword, they wrote it like “Sa Do” or something, instead of 剣 pronounced as “Ken”.
I know, but why? Not trying to be a hater but why not just use the native words?
Because it sounds like English words which is “cool”
When I took a geometry test in eighth grade, I got a point deducted because I wrote ASS instead of SSA (side-side-angle) when calculating angles and side lengths of a triangle. Still got the right answer though
Oh, wonderful, teachers who punish kids for being kids and/or making mistakes.
In a “show your workings” questions it makes sense.
There’s no difference between SSA and ASS in that context so it’s pointless to punish a student for that
I always chuckle when Jellyfin shows subtitles as “Full ASS”.
For some reason, ASS files cause stuttering on my Jellyfin Server living on a NAS
I’m so old and tired, this isn’t even funny anymore. I’ll have to explain to some junior engineer about ASS. Then management will learn about this term “ass”, and use it incorrectly at every possible opportunity. Then when no one can explain ASS, I end up being “the ass guy.”
Wtf? Is datascope funny or am I missing something?
Ahh
No, ass
