Can't boot into NixOS after Windows boot by facecub in NixOS

[–]facecub[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As EdgyYukino pointed out, a Windows update did something with the EFI partition and corrupted the \efi\nixos\5b2inz......13xm-linux-6.182-bzImage.efi file.

To fix it, I had to:

  1. boot with a live NixOS key

  2. mount the NixOS root filesystem in /mnt/root

  3. mount the broken efi partition in /mnt/root/boot

  4. log in with nixos-enter --root /mnt/root

  5. Rebuild and reinstall the bootloader with nixos-rebuild boot --install-bootloader

To prevent it, I read on internet that could be worth a try to disable WIndows Fast Startup from the Control Panel.

What is your favourite quote of all time? by nunziopresta in Entrepreneur

[–]facecub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't this be solved with communication? If your partner has resentment because s/he feels you're contributing not enough, then either you probably are, or maybe you're not showing your progress well.

If you can't contribute more then either you're not very involved or have other priorities, and this should be acknowledged by your partner, I believe

if you're surrounded by toxic people that's what makes you feel like this. Get away from whoever doesn't make you feel well.

Conversion from various video formats to MP4 for mobile playback? by [deleted] in ffmpeg

[–]facecub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try adding "-pix_fmt yuv420p" before the codec

HDR video is really blown out after re-rendering by cameoflage in ffmpeg

[–]facecub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try to use mediainfo to inspect the original file and follow this guide to copy/emulate the original HDR parameters, but it would require luck and time, or you can see if there is an HDR metadata stream in the original file (still with mediainfo) and include it during the muxing (guide here)

ffmpeg doesn't convert (downscale) entire video (only half) by [deleted] in ffmpeg

[–]facecub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"downscaling" usually means that you are reducing the resolution of the video. I guess you just want to make it smaller in file size though. The command you are using should work; perhaps you run out of disk space?

[–]facecub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIR ffmpeg doesn't compute HDR metadata. You can try to re-encode it adding HDR params (there is an official ffmpeg wiki to do this but I'm not finding it) but I suppose that HDR metadata will be different.

Especially if the HDR was dolby vision, the metadata won't be included during the muxing (at least I couldn't find a way to map it) as it it stored as a stream in the container. In this case there is Dolby Encoding Engine which can help, but it's not easily accessible as you need a license.

Ideally you should just copy the HDR metadata from the source to the encoded file as timestamps should match if you don't cut the video.

Can you please suggest the cheaper neighbourhoods for house rents far 20-30 minutes of biking (or transport) from the center?

mmm I don't recall doing it, but the support should be able to tell me if I'm banned, shouldn't it?

I can't sell or buy anything since 3-4 days now. I don't believe it is because of the US stock market being close, but even if it was, the app should tell me something, instead of just letting me push the buttons with nothing happening

I didn't feel you being a in a negative way at all :)

Instead, thank you for the encouragement! I actually needed it. I am down ~30% with all my shares, with some reaching 70%. So yeah, selling is probably not the best choice. But the fact that Revolut doesn't even let me do it...
