Close and far

People say the world is so small today, everything so close, you can travel anywhere in no time and cheap. But when talking about poor people and starvation, "pfeeeuh, man!" that'so far away, it's so far from my home, it's just nothing to worry about for us, you know! Let someone closer handle it.

My Journey Into Modern Video Compression

And Why I Ended Up Using Shutter Encoder,  AV1 and opus After testing many tools to compress my album/personal videos from the last years, I use AV1 + Opus + MKV with Shutter Encoder as my daily workflow. It keeps things practical while giving modern compression, metadata preservation, filter preview, and predictable results. AV1, Constant Quality, VBR, and Variable Framerate (VFR) AV1 is already supported by most modern devices and will remain standard for a long time. Its main advantage: AV1 lets you decide how much quality to preserve while greatly reducing file size, so the loss becomes dependent on your preference of videos. AV1 also supports variable bitrate (VBR) , where the encoder automatically uses fewer bits on simple scenes and more on complex ones. Combined with constant-quality (CQ) mode , this lets you target a consistent visual quality across the file without worrying about a fixed bitrate. It works very well with variable framerate (VFR) , where f...

New update on my vegan focused nutrition site: Auto picked crowd corrected pictures, vegan ethical host and more..

Here we are with a new update again. --> https://v-nut.e-motiv.net First of all, we are now hosted on a vegan ethical host! Check it out: https://ethicalinternet.co.uk/ Our new algorithm now automatically picks pictures from wikimedia commons. They then can be corrrected with crowd voting.

Narcissists are the kind of people that turn hurt into hurting others and it doesn't have to be the people who hurt them, anybody around is good enough. Doesn't mean one's hurt from them is worth nothing and it doesn't mean we have to let them do it. What it means, is that it is fucking hard to resolve this problem, even going in the right direction is full of kindle and oil. Narcissists are one of the most difficult people to heal or to let them heal themselves... It's ironic really, most sociopaths KNOW they are hurting people but they don't care, while most narcissists don't realize it and they would care if they knew but they think they are perfect -in their protective superficial mind, or at least better than other people- and never hurt people or they think i...
