Then I would suspect that this is either down to the common control system, or there has been a batch failure of the controllers in the freezers that were presumably ordered and supplied at the same time. I've seen batch failures in ra

Back then some friends and I got hold of some lovely 20" Sun monitors that were sync-on-green only but none of our cards supported it. No matter! A transistor, a couple of diodes, and half a dozen or so resistors soldered into a DE15 p

I have plugged two ZX Spectrums together and done LOAD "" on one and SAVE "THING" on the other to transfer data. If you get away from BASIC commands and copy the tape routines up into RAM you can mess with the timing val

Mine were grey same as the normal patch cables but had red Hellerman sleeves at the ends. Look at you with your fancy red Cat5 ;-)

If you run a gun club where people can safely fire fully-auto weapons in a controlled environment, you are allowed to own them and supervise people firing them. This is not an easy or inexpensive thing to set up. I shot a documentary about

Ah, I think I know this one. It's because people who make their own guns are nerds. You know, like you or I, except in a different topic. I remember reading a couple of posts on R*dd*t where two folk were discussing fitting accessories

It does look a little like Pascal, doesn't it? I guess all modern languages are basically ALGOL or Forth. You've got weird shit like Python, which looks like Algol when you write it but looks like Forth once you've compiled i

If it makes it feel faster, it makes it feel faster. It's like those copper bangles with magnets that people swear makes their joints less creaky. My example is a daith piercing, that's when you pierce a ring through a fold of car

Right, but in most countries the data cap is so high you'd never hit it. I'm not on even a particularly expensive or specialised deal on my phone here in the UK and the cap is something like 1TB.

We sell codecs and codec accessories.

by ErroneousBosh 2mo ago
Are you doubling up frames for 25fps-in-50fps though? Because with long-GOP codecs like HEVC there ought to be just about no difference between pairs of frames. For sure with intra-only codecs twice the frame rate will be twice the file siz

There is absolutely no reason for any sane video editing software to be able to read VFR files. It should, however, reject them gracefully but positively.

So can I use this to serve actively harmful content to the Cocaine Piracy Parrots? Maybe tarpit them into reading gigabytes of Markov Chain nonsense, really slowly?

The neat thing is that 25fps content played out at 50fps doesn't use a lot more bandwidth than 25fps played out at 25fps because it only has to update every second frame, assuming identical noise between frames. And then you can go to

At that, captured video of these things can be a total pain in the hoop to edit because OBS, Gamebar et al will write them as variable framerate files, only writing a frame with a suitably distant presentation timestamp when something chang

If it was recently thrown upward, it is either still travelling upwards away from the centre of the Earth, or it is falling downwards towards the centre of the Earth. So its past is kind of irrelevant. At some point if nothing is supporting

I dislike the fediverse, mostly because of the people on it. Inside of your Mastodon instance there are two wolves. One of them is a gay neo-Nazi furry who keeps posting everyone dick pics. Why do you even put up with that?

It's a single git repository that compiles to a single binary that does really basic monitoring without any dicking about. It lacks about 99% of the things that Prometheus can do, which is probably what you want for simple up/down

That's nice but you can also just look at the linked github repo and inspect install.sh for yourself. It's pretty straightforward. It builds the binary for your monitoring software from the git repo, based on the architecture you&

In the case of pump storage schemes like Loch Awe in Scotland, it goes from a dam up top to a loch at the bottom, and then later on it goes back up to the top when it's cheap enough to do so.

Fuck. This is what I sound like when I talk about analogue electronics, isn't it? Thing is I know I could look all those terms up and learn enough to be dangerous in a subject you're clearly very good at.
