ffmpeg command lines are straight up black magic.

Anyone who understands them is not to be trusted.

It's even worse than tar.

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.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 12 points 2 days ago

Writing regex is easy.

Reading it again after a couple of weeks...

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago

It's a write only language

[-] mmddmm@lemm.ee 14 points 2 days ago

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 rsync

rsync -rav /home/user/Documents /mnt/usbdrive is treated differently than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents/ /mnt/usbdrive which is different than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents /mnt/usbdrive/ which is different than rsync -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 always chuckle when Jellyfin shows subtitles as "Full ASS".

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Fantastic sub format for anime.

I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana

Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 62 points 3 days ago

Because they knew exactly what they were doing, obviously.

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago

Because ASS.

[-] vodka@lemm.ee 18 points 3 days ago

Because substation alpha is SSA so they just reversed it.

Because it's funny.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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.

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.”

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

HEY EVERYONE IT'S THE ASS GUY

Wtf? Is datascope funny or am I missing something?

Pages are fractional now?

Man, I really gotta get with the times...

[-] sxan@midwest.social 11 points 3 days ago

"Section". They just used the wrong word ¯\(ツ)

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

I've had text books that have page numbers in the corner as chapter-number. It's not unheard of. When I was in JROTC in highschool the cadet field manual had pages like this. I'm sure others did too but I specifically remember that one more because I was there for four years. (Had to be there for riflery team.)
