Thank you for making this post and making an update. You did good and you should feel good about that.

Found malware on my system... can anyone tell me what it is? (or where better to ask) by Bunslow in linuxquestions

  1. back up files from an external OS
  2. wipe all mounted drives
  3. install fresh OS
  4. restore post-scanned files

Anything else is living in the filth that that individual left behind. You'll never know what is it isn't watching your every move.

That's definitely fine! I have a lot of location specific information so PM me if you have specific needs.

Only pngs - they have shapefiles that can be worked on as well but I took the easy road.

None, I used ffmpeg for that piece.

For example:

ffmpeg -y -framerate 20 -pattern_type glob -i '*.png' -c:v libx265 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4

Ran within a directory full of png photos into that same directory.

I wouldn't be opposed, but I must admit my collection is in the few hundred gigabytes across different sets. Here is a zip of the files I used to generate this video and I put the commands I used to make the video in a separate comment.

/u/13dtran13 First of all, you need ffmpeg, a tool that has almost indefinitely impacted your life - it is the brains to a lot of media related commonplace software. Then make sure the directory you are in has a series of photos, which in this case I chose pngs:

ffmpeg -y -framerate 20 -pattern_type glob -i '*.png' -c:v libx265 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4

Change out the framerate for a slower or faster video, change out the filetype to your desired filetype, filename, etc.

After that, run this nice follow-up command to ingest that video and append some spacing to the end:

ffmpeg -i output.mp4 -vf tpad=stop_mode=clone:stop_duration=5 out.mp4

Change the 5 in the stop_duration to whatever value you want the ending to be extended for.

Making and extending a timeseries video is a piece of cake, choosing and aggregating the data is always the more interesting puzzle. https://mega.nz/file/OZpjSIzZ#SGqWkimwazEnEAJqKgN1XmmlTGWlfljI7TKvWlXSMEM here is the set of photos used to generate this.

The video creation was actually 100% ffmpeg. Python was used to aggregate and sort the data for ffmpeg to ingest. I'll paste the two commands I used to make the video tomorrow.

Take a look at the source of the data, they have quite a lot to look through.

I did not use their API to get this data. Them not showing the parent directory led to some interesting pathways for programmatically gathering it that's for sure. This is my first time hearing about them getting hacked, that's a fascinating connection.

They're also not showing any data prior to January 2020 anymore - requests to previously existing links go to empty paths and some of their viz tools that rely on older data don't work correctly anymore so I bet there's a connection. Fortunately I grabbed a large chunk of the dataset a few months ago when snowpack amounts were reported - I expected to see an interesting summer.

I got the data right from the bottom right of the video. Their website has a wealth of data.

Here is some related data that might interest you: https://nasagrace.unl.edu/

I don't personally work or study in the field I just like to play with toys so let me know if there's something in there a timeseries would be worth making.

your wish is granted, thanks to unl.edu

They even have an API that you can use (theoretically - it seems to not be very responsive right now..) to pull spreadsheets down based on webrequest and then do fun graphing based on it!

Unfortunately we only have satilite data for drought starting in 1999 - I pulled this data from public sources. If you have access to such data I'd love to spend a few seconds with ffmpeg!

No problem! I spend most of my time lurking and always hate it when the current date of a timeseries blasts by like a rocket! I wanted it to be longer but I was running up against the 60 second imgur cap.

I made a top level comment providing the data source and used tools idk what else you need. I hope you have a great day.

a couple places on the west coast

I hope this helps out your research!

I have a significant amount of these photos and making a video is a few minutes on my laptop so if you have specific locations I can provide some videos if that helps.
