@Gargron that's rich coming from someone who makes money from pharmaceutical patent trolls

I hate this stockpiling toilet paper thing that’s going on all across the world. I’m pretty sure it’s a meme, in that most people probably wouldn’t have thought about that nonsense if they haven’t heard that others were doing it

@Gargron
Can't buy bog roll in supermarkets here now. Poundland still have some (because even stockpilers have standards) but even that's running low...

@Gargron It is less of an issue here at the Philippines. People here use water to wash their butts. Highly recomended!

@Gargron According to this 100% reliable document, it's an old habit ;)

@Gargron By the way if you haven't checked out the band Spidergawd, you're missing out. You're welcome 😁

Plan: To not touch any surfaces on the train, avoiding the ticket machine by buying online ticket through an app

Foiled: The conductor just fucking touched my phone’s screen instead of scanning the QR code

@Gargron How is the situation where you live? Here in Brazil the curve is starting to heighten.

Gotta be honest I thought the #flattenTheCurve hashtag was something Flat Earth related

I've updated mastodon.social. There's now a new API for uploading media files, which will handle videos more reliably. Since this is brand new, only the web UI uses it for now, so you may not notice a difference from a different app.

There's also new rate limits for posting and following, though you shouldn't notice it. It's just to limit the impact of spam.

@Gargron Are you running the latest master code? Are the new functions stable enough? 📼

If you could change some ffmpeg settings to make videos on Mastodon look a bit better, what would you change?

Current settings: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/master/app/models/media_attachment.rb#L66-L74

@Gargron hmm. maybe this should be a github issue to get longer-form responses?

My quick thoughts:
remove the "-vsync cfr" and limit duration by time (-t) rather than frame count.
Maybe have a max video size (height/width) for the "original" quality (1080p?).
Can probably get away with a higher (lower quality) -cfr value. Would have to encode some samples to test the balance between -crf and the -maxrate/-bufsize settings.

vp9 would be *nice to have*, but it's too slow to encode...

@Gargron Could be VP9 and opus in webm; it would save a lot of space

Is there an online tool that lets you turn various ffmpeg knobs while showing a before/after comparison of the video with a before/after comparison of the file size as well?

@Gargron i think you at least need to render before it shows what the knob fiddling does
