You need to enable the Screen Saver module in the Afterglow settings first. Works great.

Yes it works, but you need to enable it in the Afterglow settings first.

Yeah, I worked in Soho for about 14 years and most Thursdays were out at the Pillars of Hercules or Dog & Duck. Fridays are for the out-of-towners.

The company has moved to Bermondsey now, and to be fair the drinks-after-work culture seems to still going fairly strong around this part of town.

The biggest spanner in the works has been my cohort all having kids and not having the spare time to socialise after work.

Definitely miss all that. My liver & pancreas don't miss it though, so it's probably for the best.

I've had great results using JPEG-XS to transport video for colour grading in feature film & TV post production. At 3:1 or 4:1 compression ratio is effectively lossless.

It is patent-encumbered though, you have to pay license fees to deploy it.

Yeah, we've been deploying JPEG-XS for high bitrate streaming for a while.

A lot of our customers are moving their grading systems into data centres and streaming the images over IP back to their grading suites.

I've got it down to less than 1 frame for encode-transport-decode, but you've still got to copy the image to an SDI card and wait for that to clock out.

macOS ships with drivers for Mellanox ConnectX cards, but I have no idea if they will show up in `ibv_devices` or `ibv_devinfo`.

Anyone found any APIs related to this?

I'd have some other uses for RDMA between Macs.

Same, haven't had any problems with IPv6 via Hyperoptic. He might just be unlucky having some defective equipment upstream.

I'm on Hyperoptic and use IPv6 regularly. Pretty sure it was enabled by default.

I haven't had the same problems this guy has, although I do believe his issues are real.
