I know, all good, that is just such an odd choice.

I think the option was single file or whole folder.

Why one at a time? Just load a folder and apply the same settings to all of them. If the settings are different per file… not sure which method would be less annoying.

Then why can we apply video filters etc. if it is only for transcoding? That is a really basic thing. Like no audio or pass through. You can also add subtitles. Why not audio?

Only downside is that they do not want to add features, simple stuff like replacing the audio. But otherwise yes, go to solution

Why? I have done ~100 files in one batch with no issue?

as they’re robust

I would argue they are just what was used during development. After that, it never changes.

Why did they use it back then? Were there many alternatives? I do not know.

What hardware does not run on 12 V?

Define ultra low power. Given the 10 TB + mirror (why?) I assume at least 2 HDDs have to spin. So at least 20 W total? I mean they can spin down, but leaving the system on 24/7 seems a bit far fetched, even if it only consumes 1 watt (0.1 A load, 2.4 Ah per day).

Not needed what…?

I agree, if the data loss is no issue and there is no need to recover anything, just start from scratch.

I am using YouTube-dl, but you would need to implement the logic for the downloads.

Just so others do not need to click etc: they found out it was faked and apologize for spreading fake news.

I made that with an ESP32 and a Cree LED array that gradually gets brighter. Settings etc. via browser.

Not sure how an app is supposed to do that.

So are there open source lawn mowers then?

You want an open source, complete system? If you are not willing to do it yourself, the only chance I see is paying someone to do it for you.

In any case, I can highly recommend AccuBattery. I love how they counter bullshit from the “battery University”.

A Rust program written last year already looks outdated, whereas a C program written ten years ago has pretty good odds of being just fine. Systems programmers don’t want shiny things - we just want things that work.

So if that is all you want, who cares if there are some new features? They absolutely not make it look outdated. If they are crucial you want to implement them in any case.

rewriting an entire program from scratch is always going to introduce more bugs than maintaining the C program ever would. I don’t care what language you rewrite it in.

This also seems odd. If the program changed a lot, a lot had to be frankensteined into it. Maintaining that is a fucking mess with tons of bugs. Rewriting can make it so much easier.

While the other replies are not incorrect, what they describe is users on Reddit posting on different subreddits.

What I am talking about are lots of niche subreddits (many even about the same topic!) thus that out of the few people that are here, there is simply no content, let alone discussions of the present content.

Ooof… That is terrible. Only decline. I expected it to grow at least slowly, but this is just sad. And makes the dozen (niche even) duplicate sublemmies even worse. One sublemmy for every person to take to themselves.
