The use of “self-hosting” is a little confusing here. To be clear, he wasn’t self-hosting his video. It was published on YouTube, and the guidelines and procedures in question are Google’s.

Edit: I’m not defending Google’s actions. It’s just that the title gave the impression that a video he had self-hosted was somehow subject to “community guidelines”, which didn’t make sense.

Edit 2: Ten downvotes in less than an hour, on a clarification comment? Wow. I’m disappointed to see that level of targeted negativity here. What rotten behavior. :(

It packs an octa-core Rockchip RK3588S CPU (4×Cortex-A76 + 4×Cortex-A55 up to 2.4 GHz) with 32 GB LPDDR4x RAM and a 6.34″ 2400×1080 OLED display. Storage is plentiful – 512 GB of replaceable and expandable eMMC plus expandable microSD (up to 2 TB) – and connectivity includes dual USB-C ports, 5G, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, and even a headphone jack.

I don’t know all the ins and outs of this, but somehow I doubt that Trump has as much financial leverage against the fourth largest economy in the world as he apparently thinks he does.

Oops… MVKToolNix was a typo. It’s actually MKVToolNix.

As Lemmy is federated but not fully decentralised, continuation of communities hosted on a dead instance is not currently possible. (Compare this to Matrix, where a room can carry on even if its original homeserver dies, so long as at least one other homeserver participates in it.)

So that is indeed still a problem here, although not as severe, because I think the posts in those communities will still be available on instances that participated in them. Such communities would be forever frozen, though; carrying on from where they left off would require migrating to (or creating) communities on still-running instances.

Lemmy does allow you to export your own data and import it into another instance. That includes settings, subscriptions, and links to saved posts/comments. So I guess maybe you could save your own posts, export your data, and import it elsewhere to keep links to what you wrote on the dying instance. I have not tested this to be sure.

the amdgpu-pro drivers are only available on LTS releases and on a few selected distros

Are you sure? I would expect AMD to have their own download & install instructions that could be used on any distro. That would be more work for you than just installing a package directly from your distro, of course.

Curiously, I just found a comment from last year claiming that amf-amdgpu-pro now works with Mesa’s RADV. So maybe this approach could work without AMD’s proprietary driver?

Mostly BluRay rips, so movies and TV-Shows

By rips, do you mean your source media is already in a container, like a .mkv or .mp4 file? Or are you encoding directly from optical discs? If it’s the latter, then using a tool other than HandBrake for the encode might also require finding a disc ripping tool. (Not all encoding tools can decrypt and demux discs.)

I actually was not. Is it any good? But Handbrake does not support that either, does it?

I haven’t used Vulkan Video. It’s just an API, so I would expect the video quality to depend on your hardware’s encoder, just as it would with VAAPI or any other API.

I don’t think Handbrake supports it yet, so until they do, I think you would have to use some other encoding tool.

for anything involving multiple audio and subtitle streams and stream selection in general it is not an option for me…

You haven’t said why, but if it’s just that managing lots of streams using command line tools is more hassle than you want to deal with, you might take a look at MKVToolNix. It’s pretty good at muxing, even if the source media is not a .mkv file.

Are you aware that HandBrake supports AMD VCN hardware video encoding, but doesn’t show the option in the GUI unless support is detected on your system? Perhaps you could get it working by installing the AMD’s proprietary driver.

You haven’t said what kind of source media you’re encoding, so we don’t know if there’s a feature of Handbrake that would be hard to replace using another tool.

VA-API is the only option for hardware acceleration on linux that is viable.

I guess that depends on what you mean by viable. Are you aware of Vulkan Video?

FFMPEG apparently merged support for it last year. If you can’t get HandBrake to do what you want, you might consider investing some time in learning ffmpeg commands.

If you put a SIM into a phone that has power and cell access, then an association between the SIM and the phone’s IMEI will be recorded somewhere.

If your identity is linked to that SIM, then it’s only one more step to link your identity to the phone, of course. You’ll have to decide for yourself whether that’s unsafe for you.

If all you want is pitch shifting, Easy Effects is probably your best bet. When I looked in to voice disguising a year or two back, all the other options were either bad at real-time or too complex to be worthwhile for casual use.

Just keep in mind that pitch shifting is trivial to reverse; it won’t make you anonymous.

human brains are weirdos.

Truer words were never said. :)

the reason people post pictures of text is to give proper attribution, but also to distance themselves from the content,

If only we had some way to reference an original source. Something like a figurative link, if you will.

I haven’t been following Reddit events since I left a couple years ago, but if there have been recent ban waves for bad behaviour, it wouldn’t surprise me to see corresponding upticks in it here.

I wish more of us spoke up against rudeness, confidently incorrect ignorance, combativeness, tribalism, brigading, and other such stuff when it rears its head here. If all of us participated in moderation, I suspect it would be more effective and make our mods’ lives easier.

If only there was a way to copy text, and then paste it someplace else. Sigh… unsolved problems.

The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.

Last I checked, archive.org usually didn’t work when articles are paywalled. Has that changed?

In my experience, it depends on when the snapshot is made. If made early enough that the paywall was not yet in place (probably because publishers want their articles to be indexed by search engines) then it will not have the paywall.

One nice thing about archive.org’s mirroring is that they list all their snapshots of a page by date and time, so if the latest one contains a paywall, you can sometimes go back to the first one and find it with no paywall.
