I feel like people mistake YouTube for a video hosting solution.

But that's not the point.

  • YouTube a huge archive of content that accumulated over the past 17 years.
  • YouTube is a content suggestion machine. Discoverability is a key aspect.
  • YouTube sets an incentive by allowing people to monetize their content.
  • ...

So, if the only thing you're looking for is a video hosting solution, then, yes, PeerTube might be an alternative. In the same way uploading videos to your own webspace would be, and Vimeo also still exists.

But for all the other stuff, YT is, unfortunately, unmatched, and probably will be for a while ...

For whatever reason, many of the editors mentioned here never worked for me ... like OpenShot, ShotCut or PiTiVi were really unstable the last time I tried (might be a distro or DE thing). Also I found it hard to cut precisely when they worked. Lightworks, Da Vinci, Cinelerra, I had a hard time getting them to run. Maybe that changed in the meantime.

I ultimately stuck with Kdenlive, which is stable enough and allows for reasonably precise cutting.

Hehe, back in the days I was in a similar situation, and I gave a harddisk to a friend who had a more powerful PC, so he could cross-compile everything onto the harddisk. Sneaker-network compilation ...

Hmm I get your point, but on the other hand, I suppose nowadays many people are just used to look for a niche community ... and finding it. So it's not a huge surprise if the first reaction is disappointment when you don't find anything like it or just an empty community.

Well, but that basically means I'd have to rely on different platforms if I want to post and discuss, say, niche music that'd just be buried immediately in the usual "popular" music communities (that often have a slightly rockist slant).

Even on reddit, the ambient music or IDM communities are fairly small.

Yes, well, by playing with the code and modifying it live (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_coding) ... so, not in the sense that you let the code run on its own and it generates the music (even though I sometimes do that as well).

As some people have pointed out, it protects the liver, but from personal experience, I can't confirm the "not getting drunk" part ... so I'd be really cautious about blanket statements as the one in the title of this post.

Schwerer als die Panaracer? Hab' vor kurzem Panaracer Gravelking Slicks aufgezogen und so geflucht wie selten nicht ... ich glaube ich hatte noch nie solche Probleme, 'nen Reifen auf die Felge zu kriegen ...

The idea is to have an 8-channel power amplifier in one box ...

I still have to source the right trafo, but one large one would be both lighter and cheaper (new) than, say 4 small ones. An argument to use multiple would potentially be that peaks on individual channels might have less impact on the other channels. Still working on it ...

Well, it says to use a toroidal transformer between 12V to 32V output, and looking at pictures of other people who bought it, it seems to work on AC directly, so I have high confidence that that's what it is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Hmm they are rated for 12V to 32V, and the seller recommends using a toroidal transformer to achieve the symmetric power it needs.

 

Hi,

I recently bought a few pre-made amplifier modules for an 8-channel amplifier project (for a sound installation).

The amp is based on the TDA7294 chip and is rated 85W nominal. Now I'm looking for a power supply, but I'm a bit lost (this isn't really my strongest field, to put it mildly).

Do I just need to add up the output power, 8*85W = 680W, or could I get away with using something smaller, like a 300W or 300VA?

Also, the seller said that you need to use CV power supplies, CC won't work and kill the circuit. Does that mean a switching supply can't be used?

It looks like the module has a rectifier and smoothing caps integrated, so I could potentially just use a transformer, right?

Best, N

 
 

Hi,

wollte eigentlich heute radeln, allerdings ist die Luft dort, wo ich wohne, so mies heute das ich lieber zuhaus' geblieben. AQI zw. 70 und 130, Sichtweite kaum 1km, hohe Feinstaubbelastung (insb. PM2.5).

Das wirft die Frage auf, was tun wenn man unbedingt radeln will oder muss? Hab's mal mit 'ner FFP2 Maske versucht, aber um ehrlich zu sein ist das, gerade bei Hitze und bergauf, nicht so angenehm.

Lieber zu Fuss gehen/ ÖPNV nutzen? Einfach nicht so viele Sorgen machen? Würd' mich interessieren wie andere das sehen, oder ob ich da nur etwas paranoid bin ...

Best, N

 

Hi,

habe neulich angefangen, wieder etwas mehr Rennrad zu fahren.

Nun wollte ich mal meine Strecken aufzeichnen.

Habe bisher ein paar Routen auf WikiLoc eingetragen. Zum Entdecken und Teilen von Trails find ich's super, finde es aber seltsam, das es jedes mal eine neue Strecke anlegt, selbst wenn man die gleiche Route fährt.

Daher, kennt jemand eine gute Free & Open-Source App, um seinen Fortschritt zu tracken? Navigation ist nicht so wichtig, geht mir eher um Kilometer-Tracking etc.

Früher hatte ich immer 'nen simplen Fahrradcomputer (Sigma oder so), aber irgendwie find ich's ganz erfrischend, die aktuelle Geschwindigkeit nicht immer vor Augen zu haben.
