this morning on the train I spent 20 minutes typing bash into Notes so I could generate a gif of trophy but the argument parsing for convert is so broken that no amount of quotes would allow me to pass "[trophying intensifies]" as an argument so after all that bullshit I spent the two minutes to spin up a virtualenv and install pillow and it worked out of the box with no bullshit

volkadav: Jan 1, 2008; Guillotine / Gulag 2020

our build process involves all of:
1) jenkins (this alone is the tip of a fractal iceberg of abject insanity)
2) azure
3) EC2
4) this one weird old ti^H^Hshitty dell desktop that houses our critical windows-only build poo poo on an aging single spinny hd
5) deep voodoo gradle sprinkled around liberally

at least point #5 above replaced "shell driving ant, driving perl that edits ant files, that drives a different ant, that drives shell scripts that drive maven or ivy depending on the subproject".

i am not joking about any of this. it isn't even the most hosed up part of my job. v :smith:

v theoretically i have complete freedom to fix any/all of this, but there are even bigger conflagrations to fight. just getting the gradle migration done was a six or seven month (calendar time, it was interrupted frequently) project.

i only brought a modded ps1 with me, so to watch media on my crt television i need to re-encode. firstly

ffmpeg -i <infile> -vcodec rawvideo -s 320x240 -r 30 -an <outfile> (.avi, max res + max framerate)

ffmpeg -i <infile> -acodec pcm_s16le -vn <outfile> (.wav)

then i bounce the result to an ancient windows virtual machine running the psy-q devkit to re-encode to playstation's proprietary STR video format w/ interleaved XA audio. afaik str video is pretty similar to jpeg. the str files need to be embedded into the iso as xasource using buildcd. then there's a a bit more mastering, putting the system.cnf and executable in the right place using community tools

quality is not good, but when i'm watching "keeping up with the kardashians" or some poo poo, worse is better

"vide file name" lol

I've never understood how someone can obsess over the very best audiophile headphones and then use them solely to listen to podcasts and jam band soundboard recordings

that's like obsessing over the very best crystal goblets in which to serve tap water and box wine
