😭 for nearly a year i've had nothing but problems uploading videos to my instance. about 25% of the time it would work after a dozen retries. other times it would fail completely.

i knew it had something to do with ffmpeg, but upgrading ffmpeg to the latest version made no difference.

painful lessons learned:

• /live/app/models/media_attachment.rb (line 101) - 'loglevel' => 'fatal' can be changed to 'verbose' to reveal more output from the sidekiq log

• while it is true you have the latest version of ffmpeg installed, no one promised that mastodon would see it

• i had a ten-year-old ffmpeg 2.x install lurking in /opt/local that mastodon was using, and completely ignoring my more recent version, all thanks to an errant PATH in my ancient bash_profile 😩

Good morning everyone!! :) I hope you all have a good and awesome weekend.

Your girl is gonna relax and read as usual. Reading is awesome!!!

Please remember to make time to recharge and center yourself, you deserve nothing but kindness and love always.

Today we are gonna be talking about the Graveyard Orbit.

Also known as a junk orbit or a disposal orbit, a graveyard orbit is a type of orbit where some satellites are transferred at the end of their operational lives to prevent them from colliding with operational satellites and creating space debris. For satellites orbiting in geostationary or geosynchronous orbits, the graveyard orbit is typically located a few hundred kilometers beyond the operational orbit. To transition a satellite to this orbit, a series of maneuvers are conducted using its remaining fuel at the end of its mission. The implementation of graveyard orbits is part of broader space debris mitigation strategies.

🚨🆘 Passing along a request for emergency living donations, as Lunarifox (in Europe) had a terrible house fire, loosing their car, attached garage, part of their house, and most belongings including multiple fursuits. I donated just so they can help cover immediate life needs.

There's a point in every engineer's life when they get sick of bending the legs on EPROMs and buy one of these.

I will never understand people who upload someone else's art as if it's their own after deleting the background from it, and then double down when accused of the art theft...going so far as to reply to a comment on the original piece alerting the original author, by saying "no I didn't!" while still literally having the stolen piece in their gallery still.

Just...11/10 logic, really and truly.

Today I realized that Costco are selling these 1TB SanDisk Extreme Go external SSDs for less than the cost of one of today's "AAA" video games. (US price; they're playing exchange rate tricks to take more money off people in UK and Australia and NZ)

The SSD has infinitely more value than that game, and you don't download a 100GB "patch" to get the SSD working.

open question: is there anyone interested in reading a (proposed) blog about starting a new game studio?

this would include every aspect of building the business... from design to coding to art to steam/gog/humble to finances. the entire experience of starting a game studio from scratch.

My feeds are filled with people who have COVID right now.

Please test before you get together with friends and family (especially vulnerable people like those with diabetes or those over 65) and stay home if you have symptoms.

In the U.S., you can still get four free tests at https://special.usps.com/testkits

And if you've stopped wearing a mask while you're out running errands, it's a good time to start again.

I realize that we are part of a hypersexualized culture in furry. But for fucks sake don't put porn in your open source projects.

Fucking hell….

Okay, I really like 35mm. I’ve been shooting 50mm as my main lens for a long time, but recently I’ve been finding it too long for anything but portraits.
With 35 I can kind of just point and shoot inside rooms and still get something interesting and useable.
Having the additional context of the scene is really nice.

@MulticlassGeek clued us in that we were close to a nearby house explosion (actually ~6 miles away). The video that a neighbor took was pretty chilling. We’re all fine here. 💥 :blobfoxdizzy: 💥

NEW: 813,000 Americans got emails today announcing their student loans have been forgiven, under programs rolled out by President Biden.

The Biden Administration has now forgiven $127 billion in loans — for 3.6 million Americans.

Trump knows what he’s doing when he calls his enemies “vermin” in his speeches and online. He’s dehumanizing them. This has happened to my community twice in my lifetime: once during World War II, and again during the pandemic. It is so dangerous, and Trump knows it. He’s preparing his base to do things that you can’t do to other humans, only to subhumans. Be warned. Be vigilant.
