It’s zipping a zip file. E

no it isn't, zipping is lossless. encoding is lossy.

No, the specific file size is irrelevant, he's wanting smaller file sizes. CRF is a waste of data on more than 70% of scenes in hollywood movies. You set a bitrate and let it go. This is also why virtually all music now is VBR

unidentified attempts are just standard internet, bots are always poking every port on every IP 24/7 for last 25 years never stopping.

yea good luck with the ghost, otherwise there is always wordpress lol. If you're wanting reader/viewer interaction there are only a few other than maybe just running a forum and posting ~.~

flatpak does indeed deduplicate. The stuff is updated to whatever is required as a dependency to whatever programs are installed. And versions are shared between applications when versions match as well..

So I am guessing it is just like flatpak

just fyi x264 and x265 are programs, written by VideoLAN organization. h264 and h265 are the codecs

And no doing that is no guarantee in visibly worse quality. Depends entirely on the video in that scenario. Plenty of them will look almost the same (though h265 is a lot blurrier than 264, I'd say h264 to h264 you're likely to barely notice)

Yea that's their new project they just "started funding". Synergy used to be open source and it went closed source 10? 15? years ago.

Since then several forks have existed. Most notably https://github.com/debauchee/barrier which died a few years ago and was forked to https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap which while getting plenty of updates, and merges from the other project.. never released a version for years. I think at that point synergy felt sorry for them and so they changed their repo name from synergy to deskflow https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow and now they have their open source version lol

I have to assume usage got so stagnant when close sourcing it (it's so insanely niche software, is it not?) that they felt the need to bring it alive again.

sausage & peppers & onions

just chop them up or don't.. and throw them all in. Sometimes I add sweet potato and or lentils

There are no lossless copies of any movie that have ever been released to the public

Delivery formats (h265, h264, h263 etc) are compressed and lossy.

You need to do 2 pass encoding. You should also not use CRF. You should pick a bitrate for the file size you want. Do a first pass which analyzes the video to see which sections require more data, and then run a second pass which will give high bitrate to more action scenes and lower bitrate to the credits and slower talking scenes.

Some action scenes require 5 times more data to look as good as a talking dinner scene, you couldn't even notice the quality difference but the bitrate requirement is literally 5 times more.

You also need to use the slow preset and use x265 if you're doing this to archive the stuff forever. Do it once and do it right.

Yea I like how a lot have moved to using .config but mozilla just moved out of there and now has a .mozilla folder outside of it.. wtf... It is insanely sad.

I have actually moved my entire "user home folder".. folders out of there just because it is so ugly and unorganized. I now use /home/user/userfolders/.. all my stuff like documents / videos etc in here

Yea plenty of people in the south are aware too, things aren't "hidden" this isn't north korea or turkmenistan.. yet. As someone else said we've known this is what they want to do for a few years now.
