  • Thanks!

    If you want a more condensed explanation: don’t invest money you will need within the next decade

    Does this include ETFs? I have some money in one and more sitting in a bank account, figured I'd make a plan and set it up properly

    I am a younger Canadian and want to put more thought into investing, and investing in Canada. What would you recommend?

    cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/28035609

    From my reading so far I'm looking at ETFs with WS, and that I should start with the TFSA. Am I on the right track and what do you recommend?

    ELI5 how P, NP, NP-Complete, and NP-Hard work? If you have a video you'd recommend that works too

    got some suggestions already

  • It looks old, but I will try it and report back

  • That's alright, it started the discussion and I learned about the GUIs

  • VLC might work, testing now

    It's slow to get started compared to ffmpeg

    Convert and save grabbed the audio only, need to play with it more

    Best tool for a casual user to remux and download videos?

    TLDR: what tool will let a casual user to input a URL (to a disguised .m3u8 file) and get a .mp4?


    Backstory, our school uses Panopto to record lectures. The web interface is crap, but I found a project that lets you download the video files as .mp4

    https://programming.dev/post/21072323

    that is until 2 weeks ago when Panopto started exporting the files as

    • 1 large .panobf1 file
    • 2 small .panobf2 files, a few bytes each

    I can swap the file extension for the .panobf1 file to .mp4. This is enough 90% of the time. However, since this is the file with the classroom camera overlaid on the slides, it blocks the content in the corner.

    Investigating the .panobf2 files:

     undefined
        
    ❯ file master.panobf2
    master.panobf2: M3U playlist, ASCII text
    
      

    I ran this command on each .panobf2 file to download the classroom stream and slides stream as separate mp4 files.

     undefined
        
    ffmpeg -i <file-url> -c copy video.mp4
    
      

    It's finals season and I want to make a new post to help p

    You can download videos from Panopto and watch them locally

    Link: https://github.com/Panopto-Video-DL/Panopto-Video-DL-browser?tab=readme-ov-file

    Instructions:

    1. Install the TamperMonkey browser extension if you don't have it already
    2. Install this script from GreasyFork
    3. Open a lecture on Panopto, look for this button in the bottom right:

    1. A video will open. Download it with ctrl+S
    2. watch the lecture offline without having to deal with panopto's bs

    Use the videos for yourself, don't upload them anywhere else. UBC will get yo ass if you do

    If you got a pet for your anxiety, but the pet also has anxiety, you went from therapist to a group therapy model

    I see this joke often

    I got a cat for my anxiety/depression, but my cat also has anxiety/depression

    Get another cat

    New year, same meme (first time on the fediverse). Stop standing around and forcing buses to leave half empty

    Some busses load on all 3 doors

    • Make 3 lines
    • Enter on all 3 doors
    • Don't stand in the long line if the other lines are clearing up, move to those doors and enter
