Of course (pretty sure LosslessCut using ffmpeg under the covers). But this is probably one of those instances where having a GUI comes in handy. You can quickly scrub the video for the exact point you want, see where the closest I frame

I think you’re making the flawed assumption that no one would ever downvote something that might be well-intentioned, well-argued, but unpopular (for example, literally anything about Covid that goes against popular opinion).

I wonder why this site -- or any site with up/downvoting, really -- doesn't implement a "must comment to downvote" policy. Far too often downvoting is just the "I disagree and think you suck" button[0]. Make

Honestly I don't even bother with hosting it in a cloud instance. I host Bitwarden on my home network, and whenever one of my devices opens the Bitwarden browser plugin or mobile app (at home), it will automatically sync everything.
