[08:06] Techrights-sec There's also a weird rectangle overlayed in FF [08:06] Techrights-sec Seems that is a an iframe. [08:06] Techrights-sec The page runs several cores at full speed. :( [08:06] schestowitz because of the many animated gifs [08:07] Techrights-sec http://techrights.org/videos/ [08:07] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-techrights.org | Techrights Full Videos Index [08:44] Techrights-sec When the animated GIFs or PNGs are built, can the be set to loop only once or twice? [08:45] schestowitz I don't know if such an option exists in ffmpeg [08:45] schestowitz it's all very experimental and started with kitchenthought when I looked to make something "like youtube" without all the JS [08:48] Techrights-sec The trend these days is for rollover effects to show a zoomed version of the [08:48] Techrights-sec same thumbnail image. [08:49] schestowitz maybe in css there is a way to fetch the animation only when hovering on top of the image? ● Jun 21 [09:30] Techrights-sec Yes, CSS can fetch other images but the animation as it stands it part of the [09:30] Techrights-sec GIF and PNG specifications.

Enigmail was not####### [15:28] Techrights-sec perfect but it worked. [15:28] Techrights-sec In contrast to the new Thunderbird [15:28] Techrights-sec Being a bit paranoid abou t the whole thing, I woudl be concerned that it [15:28] Techrights-sec is an active or defacto push to get the public to drop stand alone clients [15:28] Techrights-sec or email at all. [15:30] Techrights-sec http://techrights.org/videos/ still has an empty, floating frame towards [15:30] Techrights-sec the upper right of the window. [15:30] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-techrights.org | Techrights Full Videos Index [15:30] schestowitz It is not supposed to be empty. which browser? [15:33] Techrights-sec $ apt-cache policy firefox | head -n 2 [15:33] Techrights-sec firefox: [15:33] Techrights-sec Installed: 89.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.21.04.1 [15:34] schestowitz does that iframe now show a TV set, replaced with a video when you click on a thumbnail? [15:34] schestowitz Not sure if I sent this BEFORE the SBC shutdown: I have found this example of how to have static and animated, but I am guessing the browser will load both in the background: https://codepen.io/QDeltaE/pen/VWGYOB [15:34] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 403 @ https://codepen.io/QDeltaE/pen/VWGYOB ) [15:35] Techrights-sec no, it shows the background beneath it. It is fully transparrent except [15:35] Techrights-sec for the double border and rhe drop shadow. [15:37] Techrights-sec A lot of the codepen examples do not work without Javascript. That is one [15:37] Techrights-sec of them. [15:37] schestowitz I am very frustrated this morning [15:37] schestowitz overslept 2 hours, partly by intention [15:37] schestowitz then shuffled around many machines as news was slow and not many article ideas [15:37] schestowitz then I lost a video about Lunduke and vaccines [15:38] schestowitz then took an hour of investigation to tackle (pulseaudio BS and more stuff on the stack going crazy... when is why in the first video of the day I could not get playback to work) [15:38] schestowitz I think that to make up for it I will work extra hard now... to compensate a bit [15:41] Techrights-sec It took a long time for the xxxxxxxxxxx to blow over, here. [15:41] Techrights-sec How did the video get lost? Maybe the work flow can be modified to [15:41] Techrights-sec become more robust? [15:41] schestowitz no sound, which makes it worthless. Happens every now and then even if I double check before recording [15:43] *job has quit (connection closed) [15:50] *psydroid has quit (connection closed) [15:51] *psydroid (~psydroid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [15:54] Techrights-sec Ouch [15:54] Techrights-sec Is there a way to visualize the sound as it records or to do a separate, [15:54] Techrights-sec parallel audio track? I notice that some vloggers have explained their [15:54] Techrights-sec setups and do a separate track. Usually they clap their hands once and [15:54] Techrights-sec edit that out, in order to be able to synchronize the backup audio track [15:54] Techrights-sec However, although doing it all in one take with no editing is less work [15:54] Techrights-sec having the option to go in and edit in the sound would save situations like [15:54] Techrights-sec this. I think it might be happening often enough to consider. [15:54] schestowitz turns out I still have not solved this issue, still having to investigate ● Jun 21 [16:01] Techrights-sec However, although doing it all in one take with no editing is less work [16:01] Techrights-sec having the option to go in and edit in the sound would save situations like [16:01] Techrights-sec this. I think it might be happening often enough to consider. [16:01] Techrights-sec Which program is used? OBS? [16:02] schestowitz webcamoid [16:07] Techrights-sec Are there any plugins for webcamoid that can show the sound visually while [16:07] Techrights-sec recording? [16:08] schestowitz those would not show most issues ● Jun 21 [17:20] Techrights-sec would audio-only recordings work better? Audacity gives very good [17:20] Techrights-sec visual feedback as to recording levels. [17:21] schestowitz I do audio only with Tim, who has been busy with his kids lately. BTW, on Rianne's laptop in FF the iframe is also empty, I assume because of some ad-blocking extension or similar. But if you click a video it still opens up OK in it. I will do more iterations on it. I had a shit dat. [17:21] schestowitz *day [17:25] Techrights-sec Hope tomorrow is better. [17:25] Techrights-sec Clicking on a video doesn't activate anything for me in FF. [17:25] Techrights-sec I have Privacy Badger, NoScript, and Self-Destructing Cookies for add-ons. [17:25] schestowitz I will do further testing some time... ● Jun 21 [20:46] schestowitz Re: the Outreachy selection problem [20:46] schestowitz > The woman has a twitter feed: [20:46] schestowitz > [20:46] schestowitz > https://twitter.com/anisakuci [20:46] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 400 @ https://mobile.twitter.com/anisakuci ) [20:46] schestowitz > [20:46] schestowitz > I don't think it is a good idea to emphasize her name or photo but it is [20:46] schestowitz > perfectly reasonable to ask how Lamb did this, just as people spoke [20:46] schestowitz > about Bill Gates without naming the women.
