  • Honey, I Shrunk The Vids - a Windows transcoding frontend for FFMPEG

    Jump

  • Thanks! Yeah, that's pretty much my exact use case lol. I can't run the transcode on my server for various reasons so I have to do it on my local machine. Dunno if tdarr supports that. Probably should have found out before rolling my own, but I wanted to see if I could do it 😅

  • Fediverse "starter pack" invites, so you can invite people to the fediverse and to your favourite communities all at once? Love it!

  • What video game did you not expect to like as much as you did?

  • Control. I've always had a fondness for SCP-related stuff so when I saw Control on sale for $3 or $4 it was an instant mindless purchase. Bored a few days later I decided to give it a go, and then I went and beat the entire game and the DLC. Great power fantasy, great lore, great voice acting, fun moment to moment gameplay balanced between exploring, upgrading, story beats, and boss fights. Also ties in to their other games like Alan Wake; I haven't played that one, but I've strongly considered it just because of Control and wanting more of that universe.

  • It's an anxiety thing; the actual name is "rejection sensitivity dysphoria": https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24099-rejection-sensitive-dysphoria-rsd

    A lot of AuDHD people suffer it. Great example, I started a business and I've gotten 99% positive feedback on the product from dozens of people, but a handful of negative comments and two of my best friends didn't like it, and I've actually considered giving up entirely because of that.

    Which is insane. I love my product, I'm very happy with it... but my buddies not liking it makes me very sad on a whole bunch of levels.

    Also I did delete my old account and comments, precisely because as MagicShel said above: it had existed long enough to be a liability. It's not as big a deal here as on Reddit though, you can export your preferences and get back to the same subscriptions and blocks very easily on any new account!

  • Is this multivitamin legit?

    Jump

  • If you're seriously asking, there's not even a brand name visible, let alone an ingredient list.

  • We’re about to turn night into day. Is that a good idea?

    If every school shooter in America targeted an Epstein client pedo instead, the problem would be fixed in a few years...

  • Explain just what the hell you think "on-site and by hand" means, please.

  • I get along with every coworker but 2 out of 14, manager is somebody who sabotaged me in the past. To even consider working there again is such a stupid idea, isn’t it?

  • She's gonna have power over your employment; if you don't trust her not to use that to fuck with you (and it sounds like you can't), don't go work there. You'll be able to find a position elsewhere.

  • Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products, making Amazon richer

    Jump

  • I'm always a little shocked when people ask me if my product is on Amazon. I never even considered it because I've known what they are for so long; it's been a bit of a wakeup call that most people still have no idea how fucking awful Amazon is. It sucks struggling with market visibility, selling just from my own website, but it beats the hell out of being bullied like this until I'm big enough to have my product stolen and copied by Amazon Basics.

  • 'Likely the Largest Breach in U.S. History': What You Need to Know About the Conduent Fiasco

    Jump

  • I said

    For most of my lifetime, date breaches had to be carried out on-site and by hand.

    Explain how that means only "emails and USB jump drives". That might be hard, because it doesn't.

    As well, you might be thinking of the Black Monday stock market crash, because I don't remember any high-profile hack to exfiltrate data from the Dow Jones. Amongst the only early remote data breaches I am aware of is the German guys who got into the DoD's network and sold the data to the KGB, in the mid-80s, because it was only the military and some universities who had the internet back then.

    Remote data breaches have only really been a thing since the 2000s, because like I said, computers were less common and the internet was almost non-existent before that point. The spread of both computers and the internet made it a lot easier. If you're having trouble with the maths, that means I don't in fact have to be "well over 80 years old".

  • This is not intended as an excuse for corporate laziness by any means, but: For most of my lifetime, data breaches had to be carried out by on-site and by hand. The advent of computers, and then the internet, made this crap a lot easier. So, y'know, it's a pretty short timeline relative to a human lifespan to be having data breaches in the first place.

  • Looks Like it is Happening

    Jump

  • Looks like it is not:

    Update: Sorry, but a commenter points out that this may just be an artifact of counting based on when most recently modified, not on original submission date.

    Numbers using original, not most recent, submission dates

    For 12/1 to 12/31 the numbers were2022: 8002023: 8112024: 8152025: 855

    For 1/1 to 2/12022:5102023:4902024:5012025:5442026:617

    For 2/1 to 2/152022:2552023:2212024:2802025:2762026:311

    These do show significant increases year to year for the last couple months, but not the near doubling indicated by the other numbers. The hep-th arxiv apocalypse is not here yet.

  • Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%

    Jump

  • My server auction went up by €0.94, from €31. I'm not mad; I probably would be if it had gone up by €9. Hetzner have been fantastic though, so a small increase like this after so long is not hard to swallow.
