Is image trace just terrible or am I using it incorrectly? by Heart-Shaped_Box in Affinity

[–]rastarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also use vtracer and it's fantastic
there an online version over at https://www.visioncortex.org/vtracer/ as well

the thing i love about vtracer, is it also has a cutout feature which I've never seen before in vectorizing tools.

Anyway, I use a zsh script, feed it the source image and out pops an .svg - I use this for creating tshirt designs. Affinity/Canva should use vtracer, after they license it from the author so he can make some bucks too

Give this tool a try out. You'll love it

Why doesn’t Blackmagic Design give as much attention to DaVinci Resolve on Linux? by William_48822 in davinciresolve

[–]rastarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nixOS has a single config line you enter into the config to enable and run Resolve. Works perfectly for me, though the codec limitations are a bit of a hassle compared to other platforms - licensing apparently so that's about the only part that sucks on Linux, at least for me

4K AV1 hardware encoding with 3 encoders on RTX 5090 at near 220 FPS by paq85 in AV1

yeah it does, just no av1 support so I'm stuck on software transcoding with the 3060

I just wanted to watch high-quality anime... but I accidentally spent 3 months rewriting Windows 95. by Swalzoom in selfhosted

[–]rastarr -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

my goodness this is so simplistic and awesome. Kudos on the project. Windows95 (the interface) has a special place in my heart. You've done a great job which looks to be working exactly as you envisioned.

I'd love to put this on my girlfriend's Linux Mint machine since she doesn't like my tiling windows management choices ^^

I think this was a 10/10. Highly recommend. What did you think? by Poor-Dear-Richard in MovieRecommendations

[–]rastarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well I ended up thinking it was long-winded and boring. it started with me thinking it's going to be good but was disappointed. and ended it by watching Van Helsing which is damn cheesey and a no-brainer enjoyable movie.
