It certainly does not help that many cities are designed to be traversed with cars moreso than on foot. In large portions of the U.S., if you've got a place to walk around that looks nice and doesn't smell smoggy, you're lucky. See also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHlpmxLTxpw

-b:a sets bitrate, which is irrelevant for a lossless conversion. According to https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/MP3, "If you need constant bitrate (CBR) MP3 audio, you need to use the -b:a option". That being said, if you like the placebo regardless, good!

Regarding your usage of sed, if for example your file is named `a-webm.webm`, it'll be converted to `a-mkv.webm`. Here's an example of doing this correctly in pure shell script, I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to convert it to rc. https://kaa.neocities.org/Program/nameconvert.sh.txt

>-b:a Yes, that's a pure placebo. But it shows 192kbps instead of 128kbps while encoding. That soothes me mentally.

>name Of course. For generality, it shouldn't be like that. But I've never used that name form. So it should be fine. Anyway, I think I could use awk and make it into a single line. Maybe -F. with $NF would work.

perhaps prudent to add that pro tip to everything (PRO TIP: don't use anything! PLEASE, there's nothing here!)

>faustian At least PeerTube is federated and good. It just requires JS/CSS. But yes, if you have to use ProxiTok, you are immediately wrong.

Its interesting to think how wide geometry could be applied even for non geometrical looking problems.

It makes sense. Because it also looks good on lynx.

>faustian Directly, I just recalled it. Indirectly, I had a question of "By set-builder notation, how many sets can be defined?" in a set theory class, a couple years ago. The professor didn't know the answer, so I had to find it myself. THAT was the answer. Then soon I realized that it has far more important implications. That's the story.

So it reminds me: "The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you've gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?"
