My condolences. They're little blessings that come and go, but it's never easy when the time comes.

What a great day to be uneducated!

It went to shit during Covid. Overnight it became the land of "NO LOWBALL OFFERS I KNOW WHUT I GOT" and you can usually find the same item on ebay for cheaper including shipping.

Risky click of the day.

My biggest fear is that I'll die in my sleep, and then my cats will miss out on a delicious meal, because I sleep with my bedroom door closed.

I inventory all my notable possessions using Homebox so at the very least my family knows the value of all my gear. I don't expect them to preserve most of the data on my servers (there's little reason for them to) so I just have documentation on how to access what they'll need to settle my affairs and sanitize anything further containing private data/records.

It takes a village

 

There's a scene where the character Louis Ironson goes cruising in the park for some anonymouse gay sex. A leather daddy starts to penetrate Louis from behind, and sound design decided to make it sound like Guy Fieri eating a bowl of spaghetti. The sounds was so bassboosted & sloppy and loud that my wife yelled at me from the other room, accusing me of watching fisting pornos, but I had to assure her that I was only watching rough man sex. Why did they make it sound like Louis has a colon like a can full of pudding? If this is accurate, then I apologize, I've never knbowingly engaged in this kind of sex act.

When you get new tires and they tell you it has a typical lifetime of X amount of miles, do you say, "wait, these tires are conscious?"

my mom gave me money to buy a book, but I'm probably gonna spend it all on pencils and stickers

thank you for creating scholastic book fair content

 

It seems to me that these people in general are fairly unhappy people, and despite the popular saying, it is my understanding that money can bring happiness in the form of stability.

 

Question in the title. Feel free to include details, like what networks have wifi, what kinds of devices are on what, etc etc.

Right now I have 4 VLANs, each with a separate wifi SSID:

  1. Base - servers, workstation, and any trusted devices
  2. Business - work laptop, dock, and phone - enforces network and device isolation - lighter adblocking settings, so that work programs and services aren't nerfed
  3. Isolated - visiting friends and family use this one - again, enforces network and device isolation
  4. Security - for cameras, doorbell, and other security devices - strongest security settings, isolation, and no direct internet access

Looking forward to hearing what others are doing, to see if I can improve my setup.

All it would have taken was minding their own business, and that money could have paid a couple CEO wages instead. Think of all the good that could have been done if that money went into Musk or Bezo's pockets instead.

Capture server update (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by wesker to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

I wanted to say thank you to everyone that responded on the previous post. Whether intentional or not, some of the comments gave me some ideas for elaboration and improvement of my pipeline.

I discovered that the TINK 4k has the ability to do 480i pass through via custom modelines, which I enabled and updated my capture script to take advantage of. The biggest downside to using the TINK is that it converts color to RGB, which results in slightly-less-than-faithful raw captures.

This leads into the new VapourSynth pipeline I put together. When strung all together, we're now performing:

  • Lossless RGB NTSC capture, converting to YUV 4:4:4 for processing until the final 4:2:0 output
  • QTGMC source-matched deinterlacing to 59.94p
  • Motion-compensated denoise and CCD chroma cleanup
  • Dehaloing, contrasharpening, and debanding
  • Lanczos upscale to 4:3 1080p

I'm currently punting on any neural upscaling, because I really don't want to introduce any semblance of hallucination.

You also may have noticed I added waveform and vectorscopes to the monitor stream, to get a quick and dirty readout of the brightness and color levels of a given tape.

I understand that this project is now probably blurring the lines of appropriateness for this particular community, so it will likely be my last post on the matter here. I just wanted to give an update, and say thanks!
