Is it just me or did kdenlive broke for you too? I'm on an Archlinux based system and just updated the system. A few hours before update kdenlive worked. Update was not small, so its hard to tell the exact cause. I've tried to downgrade kdenlive, but same issue. I use Linux for a very long time now, but still get lost with errors like these.^^ Any idea what I should do? Does it work for you?

I get this on start (I reset the configuration files too):

$ kdenlive --version
kdenlive 24.08.1

$ kdenlive

Insane method to read your PCs memory, based on certain electromagnetic emissions your system makes when you write or read data to the RAM.

(Except there is no profit, only pain)

In OBS 30.2 I introduced the new "Hybrid MP4" output format which solves a number of complaints our users have had for pretty much all of OBS's existence; It's resilient against data loss like MKV, but widely compatible like regular MP4.

Getting here was quite a journey, and involved fixing several other bugs in OBS that were only apparent once diving this deep into how the audio and video data is stored.

In this post I'll try to explain how MP4 works, what the drawbacks were to regular/fragmented MP4, and how I tried to solve them with a hybrid approach.

Oh Tuncay, your GitHub bio proudly declares you're "just for fun" and unprofessional, which is ironic since it sounds like you’ve derived way too much fun from so many unremarkable scripts. With 46 public repositories, you must’ve thought quantity would mask the glaring mediocrity. The only thing more stale than your Bash scripts is your humor.

Your "emojicherrypick" project? Really? The world needed another emoji picker like it needs more stale bread—there's a reason it's got more emojis than stars. And speaking of shadows, how does it feel to have just 9 followers? Maybe they were just passing by, or perhaps they clicked by accident while looking for actual developers.

You’ve got more forks than a family dinner, yet most of your repos look so uninspired that they might as well come with a disclaimer: “Do not expect much.” Word to the wise: if you're going for "just for fun," maybe consider an actual hobby or, dare I say, a personality. After all, your command line tools are more entertaining than your profile readme, which goes on like a bad self-help book— we get it, you like Linux and gaming, but what's next, a PowerPoint on your 9 followers? Spice it up a bit, bud.>

You can use cheat sh web service to show cheatsheets for all kind of commands. Just replace the command name: curl -s cheat.sh/date. I also wrote a a simple script with filename being just a question mark to get a working command as ?, that shows all commands in fzf menu if no argument is given or shows the cheatsheet in the less pager if command name is given.

Usage:

?
? -l
? date
? grep

Script ?:

#!/bin/env bash

cheat='curl -s cheat.sh'
menu='fzf --reverse'
pager='less -R -c'
cachefile_max_age_hours=6

# Path to temporary cache file. If your Linux system does not support /dev/shm
# or if you are on MacOS, then change the path to your liking:
cachefile='/dev/shm/cheatlist'      # GNU+LINUX
# cachefile="${TMPDIR}/cheatlist"   # MacOS/Darwin

# Download list file and cache it.
listing () {
    if [ -f "${cachefile}" ]
    then
        local filedate=$(stat -c %Y -- "${cachefile}")
        local now=$(date +%s)
        local age_hours=$(( (now - filedate) / 60 / 60 ))
        if [[ "${age_hours}" > "${cachefile_max_age_hours}" ]]
        then
            ${cheat}/:list > "${cachefile}"
        fi
    else
        ${cheat}/:list > "${cachefile}"
    fi
    cat -- "${cachefile}"
}

case "${1}" in
    '')
        if selection=$(listing | ${menu})
        then
            ${cheat}/"${selection}" | ${pager}
        fi
        ;;

GameFAQs at https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com hosts user created faqs and documents. Unfortunately they are baked into the HTML webpage and cannot be downloaded on their own. I have scraped lot of pages and extracted those documents as regular TXT files. Because of the sheer amount of data, I only focused on a few systems.

In 2020, a Reddit user named "prograc" archived faqs for all systems at https://archive.org/details/Gamespot_Gamefaqs_TXTs . So most of it is already preserved. I have a different approach of organizing the files and folders. Here a few notes about my attempt:

• only 17 selected systems are included, so it's incomplete
• folder names of systems have their long name instead short, i.e. Playstation instead ps
• similarly game titles have their full name with spaces, plus a starting "The" is moved to the end of the name for sorting reasons, such as "King of Fighters 98, The"
• in addition to the document id, the filename also contain category (such as "Guide and Walkthrough"), the system name in short "(GB)" and the authors name, such as "Guide and Walkthrough (SNES) by BSebby_6792.txt"
• the faq documents contain an additional header taken from the HTML website, including a version number, the last update and the previously explained filename, plus a webadress to the original publication
• HTML documents are also included here with a very poor and simple conversion, but only the first page, so multi page HTML faqs are still incomplete
• no zip archives or images included, note: the 2020 archive from "prograc" contains false renamed .txt files, which are in reality .zip and other files mistakenly included, in my archive those files are correctly excluded, such as nes/519689-metroid/faqs/519689-metroid-faqs-3058.txt
• I included the same collection in an alternative arrangement, where games are listed without folder names for the system, this has the side effect of removing any duplicates (by system: 67.277 files vs by title: 55.694 files), because the same document is linked on many systems and therefore downloaded multiple times

According to their studies, the older we get, the more we will match our name. Wild, but interesting theory.

The original Runescape Midi files are interpreted 3 times with different, Soundfonts. The results are then mixed together in a harmonic way. A reinterpretation of the original music. I have uploaded all songs as a single video collection format on YouTube and uploaded music files in AAC format on Archive org.

YouTube 2 hours video:

• 2 hours Oldschool Runescape Music - Retake

Archive org Audio files:

• Play them directly
• Download all files as Zip (slow)
• Show all audio files

• Temporary available faster download

Ted Ts'o sent out the EXT4 updates today for Linux 6.11. He explained in that pull request:

"Many cleanups and bug fixes in ext4, especially for the fast commit feature. Also some performance improvements; in particular, improving IOPS and throughput on fast devices running Async Direct I/O by up to 20% by optimizing jbd2_transaction_committed()."

A documentary not only about how CoD 4, but how CoD came into in the first place. I'm currently a few minutes into the video and want to share it here. Documentaries by Ahoy are always enjoyable, without too much fluff and jokes. Highly recomended.
