use the new preset feature to get h264: -t mp4

you can also skip the match filters by running the /videos URL instead of the main channel url.

if you want 720p, use -S res:720

it works well, but some of the user experience is as bad as every streaming service for me.

i browse categories, have to click 'load more' a ton of times to see everything, and if i dare enter a category, and then go back to category list, all the times i clicked 'load more' is undone and i'm back to the initial view.

same if i search for a category, when i return from viewing a category, the search term i gave is gone.

i get that searching and favorites is the optimal way but sometimes you need to browse to know what to search for.

i also dislike having to hover over something to see the full title. having to hover over all the results instead of being able to see the full titles and at a glance find what i wanted to find ...

if i make the window bigger, it helps a bit but some longer titles are still cut off.

besides these gripes, i actually like it. search results are pretty much instantaneous and the whole app doesn't feel slow as some others i've tried in the past.

should i make a github issue for my issues or is that a waste of time?

> You could set her back 8 iOS versions and she probably wouldn't notice. Because she uses none of the hundreds of features released since. Not because she dislikes them, she doesn't know they even exist.

there's no manual to read. apple does not inform you in any way. finding out new features is by word of mouth.

so annoying.

i should not have to discover features on my very expensive phone by random chance via watching a tiktok video!

curious how that works out. you start dating, stop doing the hobby you're not really interested in, but she continues, and finds out you were only in it to find a date?

i've filled up an zfs array to the point where i could not delete files.

the trick is to truncate a large enough files, or enough small files, to zero.

not sure if this is a universal shell trick, but worked on those i tried: "> filename"

i have close to 2000 tabs and have stellar performance and no crashes.

chrome on the other hand, tabs will randomly crash if left open for more than a day or two.

sometimes you just want to quickly look at ffprobe's natural output but the file have a lot of metadata or subtitles or whatever, and the stuff you want to look at is printed up on top, so the natural way is to pipe it to less or a file.

but no, you have to mess with stderr because the programs natural output without using the flags is an error apparently.

not available in EU.

but it did remind me that it was now available to download, because it wasn't when the previous article was posted.

threads is going to split communities if it takes off, given that EU is locked out of it.

while rate limited i could still view tweets that was sent to my phone via the notification feature. i have it turned on for a few users, so these weren't tweets sent at me.

now i'm just waiting for Huffman to do something similar on reddit. he could get rid of some of those moderators he dislikes by charging to be a moderator. also, to access to nsfw subreddits.
