I’m curious what kind of project you are working on? I’m working on a procedural terrain generation open world game! Now it’s your turn to tell me!
Changing a lot of code from a single delete to multiple deletes for drugs in a database now.
Then working on creating a full usermanual for the website from scratch…fml

A set of scripts that download Chaturbate videos, also keep track of what’s currently downloading, give a history of what’s been downloaded, and automate recompressing to HEVC.
I’m workshopping ideas for a new GUI for it, but don’t know where it’s safe to ask NSFW programming questions.
Just a reminder that reencoding already compressed videos is a recipe for destroying the quality, unless you’re using a very high bitrate, which quite often gets you the same size as the input video.
I think the consensus is that if your video isn’t 4k or higher, there isn’t much gain in using HEVC if it is already H.264.
So if you want to store them long term, reencoding them now means that if you decide to do it again later (for whatever reason) you’ll have too many artifacts accumulated.
You can leave out the NSFW parts. What you’re downloading doesn’t have to be mentioned.
Currently working on The Next Big Thing™️ in the Linux community.
Free tech tip: turn off auto updates on your servers so that you always run proven and stable software :3c
Jia Tan was the username used by a group — probably a state intelligence agency — on GitHub to try to attack the xz open source package. The effort aimed at trying to take over the project, and lasted for years. They managed to get a compromised package briefly into the unstable versions of some major Linux distros that created a backdoor in the openssh daemon and came close to being widely deployed across Linux servers, which would have been a very severe compromise of a huge range of systems. The account vanished when the compromise was discovered.
The user here is, as a joke, using the same name.
EDIT:
When they said they were “working on the next big thing in linux”, the tip and the username they have, i thought:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor
In February 2024, a malicious backdoor was introduced to the Linux build of the xz utility within the liblzma library in versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 by an account using the name “Jia Tan”.
