Hello just making a poll, which one do you prefer? personally I prefer x265 but since the rarbg falldown i’ve seen that almost all 1080p rips are in x264, what do you think about that, and do you recommend any place to find more x265 content beside those in the megathread?
AV1 is very efficient (around twice as good as h264), but a filesize that low was almost definitely because the default encoding settings were more conservative than the ones used to encode the blu-ray. The perceptual quality of that 1.5gb file will be noticeably lower than the 44gb one
We're one of the largest communities on Lemmy, and I see a lot of people around the site asking what exactly this place is. I know we have a sidebar, but maybe a pinned post with an explanation of how the community came about & why every post is titled rule would help
He would be the perfect person to AMA as he’s already associated with Reddit revolts, and it would result in tremendous media coverage and mark fediverse as a viable alternative to Reddit. What do you think?
I've never administrated a Lemmy instance, but I can't shake the feeling that the traffic and activity that would generate would be a massive blow to the infrastructure we have right now. I can't name anybody at the moment, but maybe we should start with someone a bit smaller?
Eventually somebody's going to pull the lever, either accidentally or deliberately, so it's best to flip it while it kills the least amount of people.
I guess b/c of that it's sort of like the regular trolley problem.
So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did... you know... and we're on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.
If you're taking a similar route to YouTube, you also need a ton of CPU/GPU power and/or specialized hardware. YouTube transcodes every video into 2 (3 for videos with >~2M views) different formats in 5 different resolutions. A community-run service could skip on some of that, but it'd come at the cost of lower quality, less support for older devices, or higher bandwidth usage.
Same thing you'd do if you looked up anarchychess on reddit and found two communities with similar names: join the bigger one. The smaller one will probably die off eventually
Do you prefer x264 or 265 HEVC? (lemmy.ml)

I just had to guard a bank vault against a guy that thought he could open it by bludgeoning it with bananas. Can I use this to negotiate for more paid vacation days?

Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement?
