Back when I switched to Ubuntu 8.04, fifteen years ago, they had the best set of included drivers and non-free (MP3) software.

I switched back to Debian (12/bookworm) a few months ago because of Ubuntu's snap packages. I've not noticed any downside yet.

Protobuf over UDP can use the UDP payload length. Likewise for the many variants of self-sychronising DLE framing (DLE,STX..DLE,ETX) used on serial links.

A varint length field prepended to protobuf messages (sent over a reliable transport, such as TCP) seems sane.

The "double-bonus two-liner":

    export vid="sourcevid.mkv"
    ffmpeg -i "$vid" -vf vidstabdetect -f null -; ffmpeg -i "$vid" -vf vidstabtransform "$vid.stab.mkv"; ffmpeg -i "$vid" -i "$vid.stab.mkv"  -filter_complex vstack "$vid.stacked.mkv"
can be a one liner:

    vid="sourcevid.mkv" ffmpeg -i "$vid" -vf vidstabdetect -f null -; ffmpeg -i "$vid" -vf vidstabtransform "$vid.stab.mkv"; ffmpeg -i "$vid" -i "$vid.stab.mkv"  -filter_complex vstack "$vid.stacked.mkv"

The current encoding is complete, so no future extensions are possible.

A fix would be to change:

  110rrrrr ggggbbbb - copy the last pixel and adjust RGB by (r-15, g-7, b-7)
to:

  1100rrrr ggggbbbb - copy the last pixel and adjust RGB by (r-7, g-7, b-7)
This leaves:

  1101???? ...
available for future extensions.

Yes, it's a very slow Dutch Auction.

Your suggestions are very welcome. I'll add those features tomorrow.

Hi, thanks for your question.

At the bottom of the "Sellers" information is the line: "If you are interested in listing your domain(s) on Domain Drain, complete the form below for more information." and a form to complete.

How could I position this better?

I'm concerned that if I put it at the top, people won't know why they're filling in the form.
