AVincentInSpace, to memes in Recursive authentication

Secur user checking in

Yeah? And what would that achieve? What the hell are gamers gonna do?

For God’s sake, we couldn’t even keep a protest going on Reddit because people were afraid of the sunk costs. People give Valve money.

Again, just because Valve hasn’t screwed us over yet is no excuse for assuming they never will.

Ext4 is a filesystem. That is the part of the kernel that actually stores and retrieves the files on disk. What program are you using to browse files? It’s a bit hard to tell from this screenshot what program it’s a screenshot of, but it looks like Nautilus (the default file browser in GNOME). Is that it?

Very good point. Just because Valve hasn’t screwed us over yet is no excuse for assuming they never will.

You have openh264 installed already which should cover your bases. Since it quite clearly isn’t I’m not sure what to suggest. What file manager is this that’s having issues?

Looks like that video is encoded H.264, which according to Google is one of the codecs that Debian only makes available via third party repository.

Here are instructions from debian.org for installing the codec by manually downloading and installing a single package file:

wiki.debian.org/MultimediaCodecs

And here are instructions from a third party explaining how to tell apt how to install them so they can be kept up to date (be sure you read the warning on the debian.org page about why they don’t tell you to do that before you do it):

debiantutorials.com/how-to-install-ffmpeg-with-h-…

Depending on how exactly your file manager works, installing the codec may or may not be sufficient to display thumbnails. If not, there are probably instructions specific to your file manager for installing the appropriate plugin.

AVincentInSpace, to lemmyshitpost in when the woke librals 😔😔

Well, ya.

AVincentInSpace, to programmer_humor in Multifactor auth done right

It means that if I want access to something that has been texted to you, I don’t exactly need to be a government in order to get it.

ffprobe is included in the ffmpeg package. For future reference you can find what package contains a file by doing dpkg-query -S /bin/ffprobe (note that the path you give it is relative to /usr)

Which one are your files encoded with?

(You can check this by running ffprobe on the file.)

AVincentInSpace, to linuxmemes in Btw i used Arch!

sorry, wait, back up, did you manage to install a desktop Linux environment on a TV

AVincentInSpace, (edited ) to programmer_humor in Manager: This task only takes 30 minutes. Why did it take you the whole day?

Every time I commit I have to look through git diff, figure out what the hell I actually did, come up with something intelligent to say about jt, possibly split the commit into multiple commits if I changed multiple things, do some shuffling with git reset and git add

For some reason all my personal projects are all like 4K SLoC with 50 total commits, all of which include apologies for not doing more smaller commits
