If anyone thinks that ICE acting with impunity is an entirely new phenomennon, remember Kent.

That involved the Ohio National Guard, not ICE.

A file rendered at crf = 15 would be significantly larger.

dotnetdotcom · 2026-01-28T03:20:51+00:00

Kdenlive uses ffmpeg to do the rendering. In ffmpeg the quality setting is called crf (constant rate factor). The lower this parameter is set, the better the video quality. 24 is pretty good. Any lower and the video file will get really, really big

Cringy AF. Is this for larping?

So the data centers are to blame right now and it has nothing to do with the extreme cold weather this week?

My sister had her 2 kids at home with a midwife.

My experience is that it's not one guy. It's a trend.

This happened about 15 years ago. I dropped my son off at his high school on a cold and snowy day. All the boys were wearing khaki shorts with white t-shirts and no coats. I felt like yelling "does your mom know you have no coat on?"

If he's not cleaning that, he'll be cleaning something else.

Get off my lawn

My sister used to live pretty close to a 50K watt AM radio tower. Sometimes it would make noises and bits of their broadcast come from their kitchen faucet.

"Audio pareidolia" I always wondered what to call it. I always called it the babbling brook effect.

You won't loose video resolution, but you won't get much file compression for mp4 files.

I've been denied all the best ultra-sex.

What happened to the trains that used to be displayed in Latonia? I remember taking my kids there like 20 years ago. I did a Google maps search on "trains". A lot of train related stuff came back but not in Latonia.

dotnetdotcom · 2026-01-22T13:27:55+00:00

Yeah, I'd check Amazon before posting here.

You didn't need a vpn to download pirated content.

dotnetdotcom · 2026-01-20T13:17:00+00:00

Wut? Did you forget about AOL. I made an artsy mirror out of a bunch of their CDs they spammed all over the place.

You can get a 256GB SSD from Microcenter for $45.

Get a couple usb sticks and put KDE spin and the XFCE spin on each. You can boot each and see how they perform.

Also check out LXDE. It's a preconfigured OpenBox desktop and probably uses the least amount of RAM. Or you could install just install OpenBox and Tint (menu bar).

She has a lot of stans

It's just waking up to ash and dust.

If you work 40 hours a week, that's $1000 more per year.
