No, we just got deleted, that's all.

They may be off handling a lot of emotional baggage right now; things seem pretty tumultuous for a fair shake of our friends here. The Great Toad did just snip half a page's worth of posts here and there, though, so some of today is no longer.

Pretty quiet few days for discussion/stuff worth arguing over, too.

I guess, more on topic- Is Canada still on fire? I'd love to be rid of the grayish haze that's plagued the sky 'round here for the last week or so. Similarly weirdly- plenty enough of friends weren't really aware that there was a wildfire somewhere that was deteriorating the air quality despite the fact that not-too-distant land contours were hazed.

Oh, no, not related to that, I think a few Bay12ers just had rough days a few days prior.

Hey, 3145 pages, that's me!

Also, I still have 6.7 posts-per-day despite spending months at a time not posting here. Kinda spooky.

Okay, I parallelized that odd video-to-audio-to-video script. Only problem now is that it fucks up the terminal colors after running it. Observe the hacky parallelization code:

Code: [Select]
if __name__ == '__main__':
    pool  = multiprocessing.Pool(None)
    tasks_intermediate = range(int(start),int(end) + 1)
    tasks_pt2 = [f"{i:06d}" for i in tasks_intermediate]
    tasks = [[i,pixel_format,audio_codec,sample_rate,bitrate,step3_out_extension,resolution,step5_out_extension,roll_amount,in_extension] for i in tasks_pt2]
    r = pool.starmap_async(imageencode,tasks,1)
    r.wait()

I'm not sure which part of this means "screw up the terminal colors completely". Powershell recovers with a cls. Command Prompt is usable but stuck to a random color within FFmpeg's color set regardless of clearing the screen. WSL can have the entire command prompt (the part you type in, rather) go invisible, with no recourse!

I strongly suspect it's the pool.starmap_async() in there.

Fakedit: it very much is pool.starmap_async(). Switching to pool.starmap() produces normal results.

Wtf with the anti gamer pc laws on the USA? I mean,  using a fucking electric grill sucks more power than a computer plugged all day. What the hell are people playing with? Saw it was specifically aimed at some dell and I think asus?

It seems it has something to do with crypto mining too but it really boggles the mind being so many other stupid things that also consume power even more so and people just dont care.

Crypto wastes incredible amounts of power for no good reason, and if left to its own devices it overtakes production. I'm not surprised

What if leaving your car idle solved made up math problems which earned you monopoly money that could be used to buy heroin online?
