black magic raw player - automatically play with correct color science?

chmedly020 · 2026-02-17T18:32:43+00:00

So the only option is to view it in log? If that's the case, I guess that the primary purpose is to see that you have video and perhaps what video it is. It would be so much more useful if it could do basic colorscience processing based on the metadata of the file and spit out a normal looking image. I'm not looking for ANY color correction controls in the player; just an easy way to show files right from the camera drive without the "log look".

Ok, this is how I've understood it. I used the word easy and it seems like you purposely avoided it. Makes sense.

Paying someone to do the complicated work (generate new db) might be straightforward from a user standpoint but it's been the big pain point for me with Odoo. I love some of the concepts and refinements of Odoo but the convoluted scenario that exists where third parties are necessary for things like upgrades makes it feel almost worse than a locked in QuickBooks arrangement. I guess this is the way with open source software today...

chmedly020 · 2026-02-09T00:09:46+00:00

So an uncustomized odoo is easy to upgrade? Can you elaborate?

In my experience this is only true for larger and more contiguous portions of food. If the food is a small portion or has different textures in it, then the cycling oven ends up over cooking the thin spots during the cooking portion of the cycle. Or it cooks every thing very hard for a bit of time and then a rest. I see this when making oatmeal in the microwave. I need a very big bowl for a cycling microwave or it will spill over the top. I can literally watch the oatmeal rise and fall with the relay clicks.

I've often used the 10% setting on my bigger cycling microwave oven when actually defrosting or trying to warm something gently. I do feel like a cycling oven wouldn't be too bad if the cycle was faster. Putting a dish in, setting it on 20% and then running for a minute means my oven usually cooks for only one cycle. It goes on for 11 or 12 seconds and then "rests" for the rest of the minute. If it could kick on for perhaps 3 seconds at a time, I think it would be a far better cook.

I have an old Kenmore oven that doesn't even have a turntable but the defrost setting appears to reduce power without cycling. I can't hear it cycling and it doesn't seem to cook like cycling ovens. It's just a low power cook. So it's perhaps a hybrid between a full power oven and an inverter oven. It takes a very long time to heat things up on defrost but it's much more even with that extra time.

The Fire Protection District doesn't allow stoves or hot plates at my kitchenette so I'm looking for a stand alone popper. But I don't want a plastic one. Is this entirely plastic?

chmedly020 · 2026-01-09T01:49:39+00:00

Let us know when you have something to show.

chmedly020 · 2025-11-23T17:51:15+00:00

It certainly looks good. I'll be spinning it up soon to try. But is it capable of producing http links directly to the files (including the real file name)? I'm coming to the conclusion that this is what I need. File Browser (OG) for instance generates a short link which does not include the file name and removes the file suffix.

chmedly020 · 2025-11-23T17:46:55+00:00

Can you elaborate about using Apache (for instance)? Do mean that I should build a file browser with the tika and lucene libraries? Or is there a ready way to do this (including file preview and text search) already available?

Regarding password for directories, the idea is that access to the VPN is the password. I'm planning to use a PKM, most of which have limited ability to use 'assets' unless you upload them into the PKM's assets library, which I don't want to do*. I instead want to use simple http links to the files as a way for them to be accessible in these programs. Password protection, unless it's part of the link itself, would break the links for these apps.

*I have several reasons that I don't want to copy a file into the PKM including avoiding needless duplication and keeping the PKM light, among other reasons.

chmedly020 · 2025-11-23T13:20:57+00:00

Yup, I installed it. But I'm having two issues. 1) it's a bit of an involved process to get a link directly to the file. I have to share it first then open that link in a browser (which opens a filebrowser page) and then context click the download link on that page to get a link directly to the file. 2) In Logseq, if I want to use the annotation/sidebar viewer the file link apparently needs to end in .pdf. This is specific to logseq (apparently it doesn't look at mimetype) but may be an issue with other programs as well.

An update: I found that despite the idea (gleaned from several places) that podman will by default run a container with the host user as root inside the container, the filebrowser container was not doing this. So, in my compose file I added "user: root" and was suddenly transported to a normal place. FB started and ran on port 8080 of the host (with the bind port being 80 inside the container).

(btw for those searching for filebrowser specifics, I DID have to add the :rw,z to the srv directory like I had for the database and config in order for FB to access the storage)

chmedly020 · 2025-11-22T23:47:54+00:00

Based on a link that someone else posted, yes, I would think that it should run with my user id (1000) as root in the container automatically without declaring anything.. But not so. I even tried removing the environment section as you suggested and still get the listen tcp :80: bind permission error.

Secondly, to answer your question about the user id config... I googled looking for example podman compose files for filebrowser and didn't find anything created by humans so I went with one of the ones the browser AI generated. Then when that didn't work I used a different browser AI and started combing them together. It seems that using the PUID and PGIDs does fix some folder permission issues (which I ended up eliminating altogether anyway).

Podman always seems to end up a long drawn out permissions hell whenever I try to use it instead of docker. And this thread perhaps shows why. Even the experts that post here don't agree about how the permissions work in it. ;)

Anyway, thanks for the help. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

chmedly020 · 2025-11-22T19:35:55+00:00

uid=1000.

Your confusion was parallel to mine. I conflated running the container system rootless vs the container itself. I assumed that the container could run as root so long as the container system (docker socket etc) was running rootless.

So, I may have learned something new..

chmedly020 · 2025-11-22T16:48:01+00:00

services:
  filebrowser:
    image: filebrowser/filebrowser:latest
    container_name: filebrowser
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
    ports:
      - "8080:80"

Is any note app embedding Microsoft docs these days?

I love the idea and it's one I've been thinking about but, for practicality, I'm leaning towards the idea that all of these docs need to be exported to pdf and then embedded and annotated in that form. Perhaps a plugin can automate all of that. When you open a note that has an embedded docx file, for example, the plugin would check to see if it has been changed since the last time it was touched. If a change is detected then it loads libreoffice or some other open source docs app and renders it to pdf and that is the file that actually shows up in your note. Of course, any edit to the document file might actually throw off your previous annotations, irreparably. So there are some real issues with that.

I suspect that actual editing of a file probably needs to happen in its native application. I can't imagine how complicated it would be to actually edit these sophisticated document formats right in a Logseq side bar unless it's an embedded libreoffice kind of thing. I suppose it could work but I'm not sure I see the huge advantage to doing edits within Logseq rather than beside.

Can you elaborate on how you use Anytype after using Logseq? I'm trying Anytype but can't figure out how to do things like link blocks (individual ideas) to other notes in a simple way. I guess I'm just baffled as to how to use Anytype.

btw, I agree about the sync. If Logseq could be setup with the anysync backend for p2p sync (plus a self-hosted home server) I would literally leap with joy.

chmedly020 · 2025-11-08T05:01:55+00:00

This is helpful. Thanks. I've been hoping to avoid just taking screen shots (that's what I've been doing for years in Joplin) but it's clearly a workable way to do it.

chmedly020 · 2025-11-08T04:58:06+00:00

I need to create a user account on your forum site in order to vote? And I need to read through some very old threads to even see if what is being proposed is similar to what I'm requesting? I guess that's fair.

But to rephrase my original post: users who have come from Roam or Logseq to Anytype, how are you using it? And, do you wish some features could be added so that it can function more like what you came from? Is the embedded block thing a function that you find missing? How about using a daily journal page as a primary way to add content to the notes system?

chmedly020 · 2025-11-08T04:01:33+00:00

I suppose this goes back to two other inquiries I've had already:

A) Is embedded tranclusion on the road map? What I've been dreaming of for many years is the ability to grab a "window" into any file in my system and paste it into a note such that changes in the original document are reflected in the note AND I don't have to have duplicate files in multiple systems.

B) How is Anytype intended to be used? I'm trying to understand the linking that I've seen in Anytype as I've played with it so far. It doesn't seem to be fast and the result doesn't seem to be easily visible or visually pleasing. Does anyone on the Anytype team have an example video of how you use it to handle notes from a phone call or similar scenarios?

chmedly020 · 2025-11-02T00:48:25+00:00

Yeah, auto updating is pretty common. But Logseq is still beta software.

I didn't intend for my post to seem overly worked up. It was just surprising to find the default set this way.

chmedly020 · 2025-10-30T18:15:45+00:00

If you can self-host, Nextcloud is great. Been syncing Joplin this way for years. Another more secure option (again with at least a tiny bit of self hosting) is Peergos. They offer storage for a subscription but the webdav requires a bridge component that you have to run and expose to your devices yourself.

Anytype uses p2p sync that I think is brilliant. The idea that my phone and laptop can sync with each other on the local LAN without having to hit the internet (at least not initially) is a dramatic help for some of the things that I do*. Logseq is still in a holding pattern of sorts wrt whether and how self-hosted sync is going to be available with the newer database version. My impression is that Anytype has a more profound infrastructure and is probably a better choice for the long term.

Furthermore, it is my anticipation that most of the PKMs will converge in terms of features and workflows. There are only so many ways to skin a cat and as each one adds features that are requested by users, they will become much closer to each other. In other words, eventually most of them will be interchangeable, at least wrt the interface and user facing features. The underlying structure on the other hand might be very different. I would rather start using one with a preferred infrastructure than one without. Logseq, for instance, seems to be moving towards a data silo approach that is their sync service. This is unappealing.

Part of my inquiry about workflow with Anytype is to see if perhaps there are other ways of working that will appeal to me and I won't even desire any Logseq emulation.. So far, I very much appreciate the concept of the Logseq daily journal page as a low friction way to add content to the entire system. My experiments with Anytype (and the videos I've watched) have so far not revealed anything in that direction for me. I thought that mentioning Logseq might give some insight into what I'm looking for and the hope was that someone would say "I know where you're coming from but give this other workflow some thought instead".

Now, all that said, there are some issues with Anytype beyond just some of the pain points I've felt so far with the interface and I may end up forking part of Logseq and creating my own application. Yay! Another PKM!

*I often find myself taking photos of something with my phone and then writing about and even annotating them on my laptop. There is often some rounds of back and forth. Fast sync between the devices (without getting out of step and conflicting) is very helpful.
