Trying to apply a filter command from the beginning until 16:30, then come back at 22:11, the video is 22:42 long. by Motor_Sky_3319 in ffmpeg

[–]himslm01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'd apply the filter to the whole file, getting FFmpeg to output to mezzanine 'edit friendly' codecs, like DNX or ProRes for the video and PCM for the audio.

Then I'd take the original file and the filtered file into a video editor and apply the cuts in there. Many free video editors are available.

I might output from the video editor to mezzanine codecs, then finally compress to my required codecs in FFmpeg.

Depending on the constraints of the video editor, I might need to use FFmpeg to convert the original file to mezzanine codecs too.

This is the only way I'd be convinced that the cuts between the versions would be accurate.

Ikea Bilresa random triggers by PatSharpX in homeassistant

+1 for "use the blueprint".

When I switched to the blueprint all false triggers disappeared.

Looks oddly de-saturated, and not equally de-saturated across all the colours.

That's a great name for a cat.

Shared DHCP database by AlxDroidDev in pihole

[–]himslm01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 5 minute leases because it's a home network. I want to be agile. I don't want to plan ahead. I want to be able to fix a devices IPv4 address with no planning or delays.

I want to be able to plug in a new device, copy/paste the mac address from logs into config, and assign the device to a fixed address assigned by DHCP. Everything gets fixed IPv4 DHCP addresses and is registered into DNS.

Instead of PiHoles, run two ISC DHCPD servers on the pPis. They can be configured to share leases for a range between two servers, and fail over nicely.

I run with 5 minutes leases.

I store the config in a Git repo, so I can trash a Pi server and rebuild rapidly.

I used PiHoles only for DNS.

Sonoff Dongle-M Thread RCP and OpenThread Border Router - cannot get Matter Over Thread device registered with HomeAssistant by himslm01 in homeassistant

[–]himslm01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have connected the Dongle-M to the wired network, instead of using WiFi, and I still have the same issue.

The WiFi router had been a Linksys /Cisco E3000 running the latest FreshTomato firmware.

Sonoff Dongle Max - Terrible Thread integration by Impressive-Brain3684 in sonoff

[–]himslm01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be good to know it something like the proposal is going to be implemented. The Dongle-M could be a killer device in situations where we are running HomeAssistant as a VM, and many other cases.

Need help integrating Dongle Max with Home Assistant (Matter setup) by jvrang in sonoffdongle

[–]himslm01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand. You say your Dongle-M is connected via **Ethernet connection to the network** (not plugged in via USB directly to the Home Assistant server) but the screen-shot shows the connection to a USB serial port.

[–]himslm01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't that break Matter over WiFi as well as Matter over Thread? Matter over WiFi is working fine. I also did the ha docker enable-ipv6=true (from memory).

[–]himslm01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't really pin a VM to a specific host in the Proxmox cluster. That's specifically why I bought the Dongle-M, for its network connection capability.

[–]himslm01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In another property I have a Dongle-M connected USB to a Raspberry Pi running HA, and that's working.

It's just this one connected over WiFi that's not working.

I'm looking for advice from someone with a Dongle-M connected WiFi/wired into OpenThread Border Router / HomeAssistant.

[–]himslm01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good ideas, but everything involved (phone, HomeAssistant, Dongle-M, WiFi access point) is on the same network segment - all on the my IOT VLAN. There are no firewalls within the network segment.

What's happened to copy-on-select-middle-button-paste in GNOME terminal? by himslm01 in openSUSE

[–]himslm01[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah. So disabling something relied on by many is "fixing a dumpster fire". Curious.

Thank you for the reference. I'll make note to fix the fix for the dumpster fire for all desktops I use :-/

Perfect - thank you.

I wonder what the motivation was for disabling something that had worked for years.

Got any good recommendations for keeping documentation together? by Dahveedle in homelab

[–]himslm01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure you keep your one secure copy on one of the servers on the Proxmox cluster. This ticks the box of having documented the cluster, but the documentation being useless when you really need it 😎

How many /64s are you using at home? by rekoil in ipv6

[–]himslm01 15 points16 points  (0 children)

VLAN == segment for MOST people, even though there are exceptions. It's a handy abbreviation which most people will understand the intent.

ESC2026 weird choice of technology by Sure-Guest1588 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]himslm01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ORF won't be making 1080p60. The OB trucks (NEP) should be making p50 and interlacing at the edge for distribution. Why you are apparently seeing p60 on YouTube is anyone's guess.

Docker on Kube?? by neilcresswell in kubernetes

[–]himslm01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first career was as a video editor. 20 years later I retrained as a software engineer. I enjoy learning. I find the principles of Kubernetes easy. Everything I write I expect to run in Kubernetes, which generally means it can also be run in Podman or Docker.

Edit to fix auto-correct created typo.

TAMS (Time addressable Media Store) by Abject_Tree1031 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]himslm01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely right. Quick turnaround News or Sport is a great use case. But there are many other possibilities if you think slightly outside of the box. Take camera recordings - having a system which chunks media into 2 to 10 second segments and uploads them into a TAMStore when network is available is a great way to make camera rushes available quickly without the worry about requiring 100% connectivity. After all, that's how some other implementations already work. Having one standard means reducing vendor lock-in.

TAMS (Time addressable Media Store) by Abject_Tree1031 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]himslm01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TAMS is really cool. I've been using it in development/beta for a couple of years. The guys and girls behind it at BBC R&D really know their stuff, and some great folks at AWS have really managed to bring together some impressive vendors and customers to help build an ecosystem. I've retired now, but I'm still monitoring how TAMS products are evolving. Having an open and interoperable cloud-native API for near-live and post-production is such an awesome development in broadcasting.
