  • Something which notifies you whenever a new comment or reply is made to a selected post/comment, so that you can keep track of any new conversation.

    Something like this would be awesome as a core Lemmy feature IMO. It would essentially turn a post (or maybe any comment tree?) into a matrix style room. Lemmy is actually decent for long term discussion (e.g. helping someone with a problem), but not if there are more than two people involved.









  • Many of the files have been created by hand with a hex editor, thus there is no better “source code” than the files themselves.

    I don’t buy that. There would have been some rationale behind the contents that could be automated, like “compressed file with bytes 3-7 in the header zeroed”.

    You also probably don’t need these test files to be available in the environment where the library itself is built. There are various ways you could avoid that.

    I do agree about the autotools stuff though.

    Minor differences in those files are perfectly normal as the contents of them are copied in from the shared autoconf-archive project, but every distro ships a different version of that, so what any given thing looks like will depend on the maintainer’s computer.

    This seems avoidable. We shouldn’t be copying code around like that.


  • Hi, This is a high priority ticket and the FFmpeg version is currently used in a highly visible product in Microsoft. We have customers experience issues with Caption during Teams Live Event. Please help,

    Use -data_field first as decoder option in CLI. Default value was changed from first to auto in latest FFmpeg version. Or modify AVOption of same name in API for this decoder.

    Thanks @Elon for the reply, This is the command we are currently using: ffmpeg.exe -f lavfi -i movie=flvdecoder_input223.flv[out+subcc] -y -map 0:1 ./output_p.srt

    I will be looking to see any updates in the FFmpeg documentation. Can you please elaborate and provide pointers the right decoding options or the right FF command er can use. Thank you!

    ffmpeg.exe -data_field first -f lavfi -i movie=flvdecoder_input223.flv[out+subcc] -y -map 0:1 ./output_p.srt

    Got that’s fucking brutal. This isn’t even asking them to fix a bug, it’s just basic help-desk shit.

    I’m sure Microsoft has some good devs that are a net benefit to the open source projects they use, but this is not one of them.



  • All of this would be avoided if Debian downloaded from GitHub’s distributions of the source code, albeit unsigned.

    In that case they would have just put it in the repo, and I’m not convinced anyone would have caught it. They may have obfuscated it slightly more.

    It’s totally reasonable to trust a tarball signed by the maintainer, but there probably needs to be more scrutiny when a package changes hands like this one did.




  • There’s a couple of ways I could imagine debugging this.

    One would be to disassemble MapEngine.MapsContainer.IsExists and see why it would throw that exception. It’s quite strange because it should act like it’s running on windows.

    The other would be to enable WINEDBG stuff or possibly use strace to figure out what it did before throwing that exception.

    Have you tried 32-bit wine?



  • Hmm, nothing there looks like an index display. My vive looks like:

    DisplayPort-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
       2160x1200     89.53 +
       1920x1200     89.53
       1920x1080     89.53
       1600x1200     89.53
       1680x1050     89.53
       1280x1024     89.53
       1440x900      89.53
       1280x800      89.53
       1280x720      89.53
       1024x768      89.53
       800x600       89.53
       720x480       60.00    59.94
       640x480       60.00    59.94
    

    Perhaps there’s a good reason for that, but this seems like a dead-end.
