[00:13] DaemonFC Also, Matt GULAG....Since I know you read this. The native AAC encoder in ffmpeg is a joke. It's based on LAME and they never optimized it to remove the assumption that you have to noise filter the shift from the PQMF subband time domain layer to the modified MDCT. [00:14] DaemonFC They just "declared it stable". [00:14] DaemonFC Because it can "write bitstream valid files". [00:14] DaemonFC Even old AAC encoder binaries from Winamp do better than this. [00:17] DaemonFC I'm going to do a spectrographic analysis between fhgaac and fdkaac (which is open source) to see if there's much difference and run encoding speed benchmarks. [00:18] DaemonFC Looks like foobar2000 2.0 has a FDK-AAC encoder option, which is nice. I built one of my own at one point. [00:19] DaemonFC FhG uses weird terminology, like "Afterburner" instead of "two pass encoding".

You won't get that much better compression with WavPack and it isn't supported as much as flac which is a defacto standard at this point. You'll find a hell of a lot more flac torrents than wavpack ones. Why don't you just use Windows?)

[00:25] DaemonFC WavPack Extra High x6 is basically the maximum compression in WavPack. It's approximately ~600-750 KB smaller per file than FLAC and when you have tens of thousands of files, it does add up. [00:25] TR News "I've seen and read discourse on economic, social and environmental stewardship for many years, but I first came across the term "degrowth" on Gemini in 2021. As best I can tell, the term encapsulates the idea that growth, especially economic growth, is either unfavorable, unsustainable" gemini://jsreed5.org/log/2023/202308/20230823-degrowth.gmi [00:25] DaemonFC Decode speed is still inherently fast. [00:25] DaemonFC Android supports them. [00:26] DaemonFC If you try to go past Flac -8, you won't do much better (maybe 50 KB per file) and it will slow the encoding speed down to 3-4x on 4 cores plus hyperthreading (8 processes) of an 11th gen i7. [00:26] DaemonFC WavPack can do Extra High x6 at over 170x still. [00:26] DaemonFC So it's totally realistic. [00:28] DaemonFC AAC is as widely supported as MP3 and fixes the two worst defects, which were sfb21 and the hybrid filterbank. [00:29] DaemonFC The encoding quality varies wildly between different AAC encoders, even between FhG. [00:29] DaemonFC Already it's pretty obvious they did more work in the FDK branch since licensing that old codec to Winamp in the 2000s. [00:30] DaemonFC Almost all of the profiles other than LC-AAC are irrelevant to a user with a music collection on the computer. [00:30] DaemonFC And LC-AAC has no active patents.

[00:50] DaemonFC It's not a good look to say Tor is for dissidents and freedom fighters, and then mostly it's child pornographers and people attacking Web servers, and spammers. [00:50] DaemonFC But it is true. [00:51] DaemonFC There are reasons why more of the Web is inaccessible to Tor and it's because there's no mechanism to separate the people who want to use it for good (5-10%) from the people who want to commit felonies with it.

[00:54] DaemonFC But that's the case. So most Web sites just shut ALL Tor users out. [00:55] DaemonFC FWIW, a lot of the people using Tor to commit felonies are being stupid. [00:55] DaemonFC Tor Browser and the network are nowhere near safe enough to actually bet your life on.

[03:06] psydruid I'm not sure but I think it was bundled with SuSE too [03:06] DaemonFC Office 97 wouldn't because it demanded to install IE anyway if it wasn't already there, because Microsoft loaded Trident gratuitously. [03:07] DaemonFC There was a web browser in the StarOffice 5.2. [03:07] DaemonFC It did use IE. It was totally functionless on my computer because IE's rendering engine was not there.

[03:12] DaemonFC Sun bought StarDivision because it was cheaper to acquire an entire company than buy Microsoft Office licenses. Also, they had their Solaris customers to consider. MS Office didn't have a Solaris port and even if Microsoft ported it, they're an extremely rapacious and unreliable partner.

[23:31] DaemonFC A homophobe with extreme anti-immigrant sentiments (who is himself an immigrant who lives with a transgender person) is quite the contradiction you have going there though. [23:31] DaemonFC You should consider your life and possibly check yourself in somewhere based on the behaviors I've seen. [23:33] DaemonFC I doubt you would want to be associated with the things you've said about my spouse. [23:33] DaemonFC Only a true degenerate goes into bathroom stalls to "get mah dick wet" while proclaiming the virtues of open cheating on their partner, to a married and faithful man. [23:35] DaemonFC Most abusers find someone so broken that they'll put up with anything. And then they flaunt that they get away with bloody murder in public, to humiliate them. [23:36] DaemonFC This is a form of codependence. [23:37] DaemonFC Codependence is a behavioral condition in a relationship where one person enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, or other self-destructive behavior. The codependent person may feel responsible for the other person's well-being and may go to great lengths to control or rescue them. [23:37] DaemonFC Codependent relationships are often characterized by: [23:37] DaemonFC Low self-esteem [23:37] DaemonFC A need to control others [23:37] DaemonFC A fear of abandonment [23:37] DaemonFC A focus on the needs of others and neglect of one's own needs [23:37] DaemonFC Difficulty setting boundaries [23:38] DaemonFC Difficulty expressing one's own emotions [23:38] DaemonFC Codependency can be a difficult condition to overcome, but it is possible with professional help. There are many different types of therapy that can be helpful for codependency, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, 12-step programs, and individual or group therapy. [23:38] DaemonFC If you are struggling with codependency, it is important to reach out for help. There are many resources available to you, and you do not have to go through this alone. [23:38] DaemonFC Anyone who puts up with being openly cheated on has low self esteem and a fear of abandonment. [23:39] DaemonFC They are also neglecting their own needs (a partner who will respect them and not expose them to diseases and public humiliation). [23:39] DaemonFC They don't set boundaries (obviously). [23:40] DaemonFC It is important to mention that you can "will yourself out of codependency" at any point. [23:40] DaemonFC It's not your job to enable a really crummy person who cheats on you and airs their dirty laundry in public. [23:48] DaemonFC schestowitz "Even if the problem of Microsoft was solved today, by Microsoft going out of business, wed be dealing with the Microsoft Office mess forever. [23:48] DaemonFC Their products are hardly exceptional, so they have gone to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of dirty tricks and public and private corruption to spread Microsoft Office. [23:48] DaemonFC The problem has only ever gotten more obscene. Generally, when people had binaries of Microsoft Office on their computer, they didnt want to pay $100 to update to a version that didnt do anything they needed. Since Microsoft couldnt justify (or may not have even been able to enforce it if they could) taking the binaries off your computer, they let you keep them, but they changed the... [23:48] DaemonFC ...formats, so that as soon as anyone opened and saved them in the new version, everyone else had to upgrade because they would open it up in their version, which may only have been one release old, and they would get broken rendering. [23:48] DaemonFC My dad even commented on this behavior in the 1990s, when he worked for Thomson Consumer Electronics. He said they had to update everything to Office 97 (which forced you to install Internet Explorer and destabilize your computer whether you wanted to or not), and I asked why, and he said Microsoft breaks the files as soon as anyone opens and saves them in the new format, so you have to... [23:48] DaemonFC ...upgrade everyone and pay for licenses.. [23:48] DaemonFC Then that spilled over, and before you know it theres so many Office 97 files out there, theres no avoiding it, then the same thing with every version since then." [23:52] DaemonFC Added: "The problem was widely known back then, but business managers killing the company, by wasting money on Microsoft products, didn't personally suffer from it at the time (although many eventually got canned as the company fell apart.....you don't need many of these people when you've transformed into a patent troll coasting on MP3)." [23:53] DaemonFC "There were competing office suites, but few of them were any good, and even if they were, their compatibility with Microsoft was lacking. " [23:53] DaemonFC "Today, we have an alternative. LibreOffice." [23:57] DaemonFC AutoCAD had IRIX versions. [23:57] DaemonFC At the time, that should have been the obvious choice.
