Last Notes npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1g2f…sz5a That's exactly what I needed right now. Thank you. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1g2f…sz5a 👀 npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1g2f…sz5a Jeez, that does sound like a fun life. We all should have more hedonistic lifestyles! npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1g2f…sz5a I think you might have to go to a different site for that stream. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg Walked by this place today. The design of that building, sitting on top of the rock looking/looming over you is so surreal that if you edit the photo like this it 100% looks like a made-up place in a made-up universe. Stålenhag-esque. Love it. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub183n…tahh Imagine if we had a complementary internet time that was always the same across the globe. I mean something done right, not Swatch Internet Time. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1wst…ez75 I hear the Cleveland Indians are pretty good. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg I gotta say I fü©king love #OpenSUSE #Tumbleweed. Have it installed on my wives and it just feels like such a boss distro everywhere. I've never felt anywhere close to this good with a distro before. Stable, up to date, reliable, no hassle, powerful... npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1rnj…vtmy First time I've seen someone suggest it would be an intermediate distro. I'm interested to hear more about those thoughts if you care to share. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1xjt…9ml2 I swear one of these days I'll groan so hard I'll pull a muscle. 😂 npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1wst…ez75 Oh. That's interesting. Is there a video coming on that? npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1wst…ez75 I thought you said you liked Snaps? npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1g2f…sz5a Poor thing, it's so cold your nipples turned into watermelons. 😔 npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg One day I shall stroll naked through the woods. Somewhere. Hopefully because of being more comfortable in my own skin, and less related to dementia. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1wst…ez75 Are you using Obsidian or something similar for writing? npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1wst…ez75 6 months on Gnome? Oof. I love the responsiveness of Gnome apps, but the lack of usability makes me want to just scream endlessly. Oof. We're here for you in these dark times. 🕯️ npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg Are there any good tiling WMs for #Wayland? I'm a #KDE user but I'm curious. Also, how good are tiling WMs if you only use GUI apps? npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gzc…fsz3 Just one small criticism/question. The new taskbar icon looks way too similar to some other icons and now I constantly open Thunderbird instead of Signal... I can't find a setting to change it, is there one? npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gzc…fsz3 My pleasure! npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg Over the past decade I've come to fear big overhauls and redesigns of software because they've started to always make the software less functional and worse to use (but "prettier"/more minimalist). So naturally I was prepared to cry when I updated #Thunderbird. But the peeps at @npub1gzc…fsz3 really did a good job! Because I can still have it look and function like before! This is how it's done. Everyone else - take notes! npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub15nw…s0l7 Of course they are. You don't design and come up with requirements while coding them. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub15nw…s0l7 I'm more interested in like the conceptualization of software, coming up with ideas, features etc. Coding I find incredibly tedious and too focused on the details of the details of the details, where I'm more into the overview. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg I wonder if I should learn #Python programming. It seems programming is something I might need to get a job and Python is at least very versatile. I just really dislike coding. Bleh. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz That sucks. Hopefully it won't get in the way too much. I'm guessing your audio files will be used somehow (for which you can compress the final result appropriately) and not just being stored as is. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz Yeah, you do that. Try to set up the easiest most automated workflow you can. Workflow is everything, I'm sure you know! npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz Ah, ok. So all this is related to MKV files generated by OBS? I'm a complete noob when it comes to OBS. I know it has several audio tracks, but I've never used any other than the main one. I think there should be a way to route audio into different tracks, perhaps using something like VoiceMeeter Banana. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz Nice! I don't know what you mean with the VLC tracks and scenes and OBS though. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz Oh ok that sucks. I only have one track in my mkv but that one .wav file worked for me at least. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz Top menu "audio format conversion" -> bottom choice "save up to 6 audio streams..." npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz Oh bah that sucks. I think I saw somewhere that it should be able to extract up to 6 tracks from MKV as separate files, but only in WAV I think. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz Indeed. And if you move the folder after registering the things the tool will no longer work I'm sure. Unless you unregister and then re-register from the new location, since the menu things are just pointers to the folder. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz Oh, also, since it comes in a zip-file, you probably need to extract it into a folder, then place that folder wherever you want to keep it (preferably not in the Downloads-folder I think), and THEN run the register bat as admin in the new folder. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz No need to reboot, but you have to run the register .bat as administrator. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz Well they do have a website where you download the tool. It does have a contact page in German and there *is* an email adress in there, obfuscated. 😅 So either that or the Cockos forum. Or just trying to figure out how the tool works and implement changes to it, since it is FFMPEG behind the scenes. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz Ok, the context menu converter just drops the extracted file right next to the original MKV. Movie.mkv generates a Movie.wav or whatever format you need. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz What about this then? Someone made a context menu converter (for Windows) for FFMPG that can extract wav, aac, m4a, mp3 etc from MKV. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1gaj…78dz Can VLC convert it maybe? Or a GUI to FFMPG like Handbrake. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1wst…ez75 If there's one thing I've learned from @npub1a5z…hcww it's that it's always DNS. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg The new upcoming text search feature on #Mastodon seems very convoluted and hard to grasp, especially when adding the complexity of which things federate and how. Plus I predict it will most likely decimate the use of hashtags, which are more useful and better. Not that I know how search and all that works on #Firefish but I kinda want to switch because it seems like a really good platform. npub1lvephrc6rcvjhdahcd5utp3ua7d0vmpj6fdypfv3mu8j8xgdngfql46nq0 Mac Berg @npub1wst…ez75 Been using Tumbleweed for several months now on three systems and I love this distro so I understand any and all shilling for it (I sometimes feel like I do, too).
