You should stop before you embarrass yourself further. You could have avoided most of this by checking the websites and release pages of any of this software you supposedly know so much about. The only one that's remotely excusable is thinking mpv doesn't have built-in motion smoothing and that means avoiding the manual's video section.

Anyone know of a program or script* that can sort duplicate pics by identical thumbnails and/or hashtags? I have literal tens of thousands of pics from varying imageboards going back almost a decade in one folder and doing this manually is murderously tedious. I ask here because imageboards and anime go hand in hand and I'm assuming someone here has a handle on this.

*I know nothing about scripting but am willing to learn

>>20177
I think Hydrus has that feature.

>>20177
You can decode them and hash the resulting raw image (jpeg/png/etc files can be different yet contain the exact same image pixel by pixel), then sort by hash, and list the duplicate hashes in an unix commandline.
That would at the very least involve learning some degree of POSIX shell, the standard POSIX utilities "sort" and "uniq", and some hashing utility.

I heard some time ago that some guys made a hashing algorithm that  is supposed to make similar hashes for similar images, in case you have the same "underlying" image made different by being reencoded or encoded from different sources, and then you can have a look at similar hashes, but I can't find it and haven't used it.

The other anon suggested Hydrus, maybe that does it, I have never cared to use it.

>>20177
If you want to learn scripting and can use bash, check out https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide and remember to read the fucking manual.
I'll spoonfeed you a little with something that is useful but probably not what you want.
This shows files with exact hash duplicates:
find /path/to/directory/ -not -empty -type f -exec sha1sum {} \; | sort | uniq -Dw40
If you want to find images that are exactly the same pixel wise, you could convert everything to BMP first with imagemagick and check those instead.
Hydrus automatically removes exact duplicates and has a visual near-duplicate filter, but you'll lose your filenames. You may be able to do some scripting to get them back though.

>>20219
I believe Hydrus lets you map the filename to a filename tag, so you can just import everything, remove your dupes, then restore the filename from the tag when you export. I never bothered because I use Hydrus as a sewer for booru tag dumps that I don't want to lose to mods cucking out.

>>20125
The title bar is determined by your window manager.

>>20177
Hydrus can do this and gives you plenty of information to go off of when deciding which to delete.
In fact, switch over to using Hydrus for storing those images as well, you can use tags with an image and look up the tags instead of trying to remember which folder it's under.

WinRAR is old and outdated. 7z has all the features you need for Windows compression. That you use WInRAR instead of a more recent proprietary compression software shows how ignorant you are of software you use or criticize. Also, I'm a Linux-fag, so I wouldn't be recommending 7z anyways.

Ultimately went with Hydrus and opted to test it out on another PC with a similar "too many images with tens of duplicates mixed in" predicament. I'll start off by saying that I love the export feature. Removing duplicates is a priority but sorting this shit into other folders was always the next task. Sadly, the way it does the other stuff isn't something I'm a fan of.

It seems that the process of importing involves outright copying the pics from the selected folder to several subfolders in a "db" folder organized by the first three characters of the hash. Anything starting with d1 is put in the same folder, for example. I know there's a check option that deletes the source images upon importing but I'm glad I tried this elsewhere and not on a laptop that's very strapped for space. I want the program to not copy or move anything unless I tell it to. Problem is that I can't tell if this process outright changes the hash (and with how messy my folder is, I can't even tell if exporting changes the filename). Come to think of it, I don't even know how to check an image's hash code manually just to make sure. Another issue is that despite the many sorting options, there's no "identical/similar thumbnail" option but dupes tend to be the same size so I should i use this thing for real I'll just go with that option.

Emphasis on "should I" because I've yet to determine whether or not to use this on the device I need to use it on. I simply dragged the afflicted folder to the open client and the import process was easy from there. Wanna see if this works for dragging a cluster of the image files themselves. Doing one year's bunch at a time might do it. Also, I can't seem run it and Firefox at the same time but the other PC uses that RAM hogging newest version that CTDs when more then two Youtube tabs and three auto updating threads are open for too long. Might have better luck on the laptop that still has a Firefox running one process instead of several.

tl;dr Thank you all for sending me in the right direction. Will tinker around a bit more and read up on the weighty help pages to see if this really is the right one for me.

>>20307
The idea behind hydrus is you use tags to look up files instead of filenames. Tags are mapped to hashes so to avoid having to seek everywhere on spinning rust, then store the filename and location on top of millions of tag mappings (I think the public mapping database is 20+GB now, but nothing forces you to download it) images are stored and named by hash, you can't really get around it without making hydrus run even worse when you have 100k+ images to sort through. Also hydrus just moves and renames files, exporting doesn't change the file content.
>dupes tend to be the same size
That's the other thing, you should use another tool like https://doubles.sourceforge.net/ or dupeguru to remove exact duplicates before you start importing everything into hydrus. No reason to use a heavyweight tool for everything when you can get the easy part done more quickly.

>>20356
>Winrar objectively has a better compatibility ratio than its FOSS alternatives
For what, RAR5 archives? You can open those easily on lignux anyways. Can you think of any formats people actually use that need Winrar? You might as well tell some autist to switch text editors because it doesn't support some rare foreign language encoding from the 80s.
>muh update frequency
That's a very niggerlicious complaint, especially for a project which has seen 619 commits since the last release, runs really fucking well, and has more features than the average user will use.
>I do but it's PAID.
Only if you're a winnigger (which you are). It's free if you're a Linuxfag but from my experience with it on Windows, I'm not dumb enough to use that shit with anime. From my memory the made-up frames in 2D animation looked like complete ass most of the time, especially in action scenes, and it took a lot of tweaking to look acceptable. Maybe it's improved a lot since then, but I doubt it and it definitely isn't artifact-free.
>>mpv has a better motion smoothing
>Prove it.
For anime, definitely nice selective quote there, faggot. See, most anime rips are at 24hz but most computer monitors are 60Hz or higher. Trying to display 24fps video (well, not quite 24fps but pretty fucking close) on a 60fps screen results in some frames being displayed onscreen for longer than others, creating judder. How do you fix this? You could watch it on a real TV, or you could use motion-based interpolation like an absolute nigger who's never touched his TV settings. mpv can use motion-based interpolation if you install SVP, same as MPC-HC, but it also has a stupidly simple alternative: just blend between two frames and insert those where needed. The result is very smooth, artifact-free anime playback which retains the animation's timing in ways SVP and TV motion interpolation tend to mess up. I don't even need motion interpolation on a 144Hz screen because all a video player needs to render 24fps video smoothly is displaying each frame six times instead of the 2.5 times needed on a 60Hz screen.

>>20356
>Nearly a year.
You're a fucking retard, nobody with IQ above 80 calls half a year and 10 days "nearly a year". Your "approximation" is off by 90%.

>>20307
If all you need is find/delete identical files, just use fdupes. Easy to use, lightweight cli tool. It won't find visually similar but different images though, only exact copies.

>>20368
I've looked at some motion interpolation, but yeah, IMO it's fundamentally flawed. The frames that you see normally are those made by the animators and often lot of knowledge about anatomy/etc. goes into it. Trying fill in the missing pieces remotely correctly using computers is hard. And as it happens, our brain is pretty good at doing that.
It's a fun gimmick to play with in scenes where it works well, but that's about it.
>See, most anime rips are at 24hz but most computer monitors are 60Hz or higher. Trying to display 24fps video (well, not quite 24fps but pretty fucking close) on a 60fps screen results in some frames being displayed onscreen for longer than others, creating judder.
If I wasn't lazy, I could set my projector to the correct frame rate too, but then I'd have to look at what the video is and fiddle around in settings.
Actually, what's up with monitors only doing 60? Is it that hard to add 24/48 mode? The projector can do 24/30/50/60.

>>20374
You might be able to force your monitor to run at 24Hz, but I can't guarantee it will work or not damage your screen. Mouse movement also feels like complete shit below 60Hz and I'd argue even 60Hz feels a lot worse than 75hz, which is where mouse movement on the desktop starts feeling really good.

Most anime other than movies is produced for TV, which is 30 f/s NTSC please don't bring 30000/10001 autism in here so why are the rips 24 f/s?  I know the actual animation is on 2s or on 3s, but it's still designed to be shown at 30 f/s so why would you want to rip it at 24 f/s?

>>20569
>I'm sending it out to a 120hz tv.
Then you shouldn't need to bother, since at 120 hz each video frame from a 24 f/s source is going to be shown for for exactly 5 refresh intervals, and from a 30 f/s source will be shown for 4 refresh intervals.

>>20611
Can't believe I forgot that. Still, OVAs should be included alongside movies.

Are there any fantasy anime that aren't isekai other than Lodoss Tou Senki, Bastard and Goblin Slayer? I guess Berserk too but I'm reluctant to get into that because I feel like I'd just be setting myself up for disappointment. There must be but I'm drawing a blank.

Tons, but most aren't that good.  The good ones I can remember off the top of my head are Slayers (avoid the two seasons that aired recently since they're garbage), Orphen, and Shingeki no Bahamut.

The second season was trash, sadly, but spinoff Manaria Friends is a relaxing watch with hot girls.

Back when it was airing, one anon summed it up by saying something like "Bahamut is like Lodoss with Han Solo as the MC", and I think he nailed it.  It has the charm and sense of adventure of old Game Arts RPGs like Lunar, a bit of Slayers' sense of humor, and a lovable asshole as the MC.  The webm should give you an idea of what to expect.

Yeah, avoid the last 2 seasons of Slayers like the other anon said it. Even the movie Slayers Premium is pushing it but at least it's not as long as 2 entire TV anime seasons, everything else about the anime franchise is among the best anime ever. Make sure to also watch the OVAs and movies.
It's hard to dig up much in the genre, specially because isekai may seem similar but is very different. Even when the person excludes isekai because the general poor quality of the genre and would watch a good isekai.

There's another excellent fantasy anime that was made by the same guy who made Lodoss and was popular on 4chan's early days, Mahou Senshi Louie. It's also a novel adaptation and it's about a /fit/ dude who is a wizard.

Very good fantasy anime:
>Time Slip Ichimannen Prime Rose
>Dragon Knight (quality wish fulfillment)
>Legend of Lemnear
>Arslan Senki

Some of these may actually be good if you forget that they're about as generic as it gets or that nothing really happens. Or they're like Makyou Gaiden Le Deus where the skeleton of a plot is thrown into a short OVA and you're left with the fantasy boxes ticked off but not much else. All of them at least have something nice about them.
Medium to poor quality fantasy anime I've watched while digging for stuff:
>The Girl from Phantasia (does reverse isekai from a fantasy world count?)
>Panzer Dragoon
>Princess Minerva
>Capricorn
>Dragon Slayer The Legend of Heroes
>Dragon Century
>Majuu Senshi Luna Varga
>ARION
>Makyou Gaiden Le Deus

Fantasy anime I can't vouch for because I haven't watched them:
>Arc the Lad
>Maze Megaburst Space
>Anime Sanjushi
>Iron Virgin Jun
>Magicka
>Onna Senshi Efe & Jiira Guude no Monshou
>the Dragon Quest OVAs, Dragon Quest Abel for instance

>>24455

I know you asked for anime, but if you haven't already, read the Nausicaa manga.
>but I already saw the movie-
The movie only shares its opening minutes and a couple scenes with the manga, scenes placed in a different context. After that they split off from each other and go in very different directions, so different that he credits the manga with helping him realize Marxism is stupid and turning him into the blackpilled traditionalist he is today. If you don't mind lots of /k/ in your fantasy it's great stuff.

Frieren could be interesting. Anything that upsets moralfags earns a few points in my books. I have far too much reading to do however (my anime "time block" is separate from my reading "time block").

>>24462
Legend of Lemnear was fantastic. I wish there was a manga. Regarding isekai, I will watch it (just finished Escaflowne, and that was better than I thought it would be, probably one of the best isekai around actually), I just prefer straight fantasy. There is just too much isekai, and too much of it is shit. 

>>24483

>What's this about Miyazaki being blackpilled?
It's way too late in the evening to write at length about this, but I'm genuinely surprised how few people notice this. It's especially hard to miss if you read any of his manga or interviews. It sits just under the surface of everything he makes and surfaces in interesting ways when you'd least expect it.
I still miss /animu/'s old Miyazaki thread, there was a lot of good shit and discussion in there.

So I'm on episode 20 and um...

Did he use a condom?

Seriously, neither of them are the kind of people to just keep condoms lying around. Arima can't possibly risk getting a freshman pregnant for his family relations alone. Yukino's family couldn't possibly afford another child. Yet, they did it in the spur of the moment. Sure you could say they just got a few on the way to Arima's place, yet they frame it as if they go straight to fucking. Is this question answered in the manga?

In my defence Nausicaa is just about the only thing I've read that's Miyazaki related, and I don't usually watch interviews at all unless it's about economics or politics.

>>24526
What's this about Miyazaki being blackpilled?
Lots of men in his generation are, just look at Tomino **Which, supposedly, the two hate each other since Miyazaki called Gundam a "stupid robot war show" or something along those lines. Which supposedly is why the villain of Zeta gundam is named Scirocco, as a oblique shot at Ghibli.

I have no good resource about learning shell to recommend, I spent years autistically fighting it. The manuals are only reference manuals.
This task can also easily be done in Awk, for which there is the excellent "The AWK Programming Language" book which can be easily pirated from libgen. I actually read about 20 or so pages, dropped it, and knew all I wanted to know because the beginning clarified my years of picking up tidbits from it through other people's Awk scripts and stupidly trying to use the manuals as learning tools.

When I said "Magicka" I actually misspelled "Mozaicka". It's a fantasy anime I downloaded one day, never watched, and lost when I formatted the drive it was on. I think it's similar to dungeons and dragons, and there are other anime like that for sure, but I watched the others so long ago I don't remember anything.
You might get lucky searching anime indexes and lists for anything tagged "game", a lot of NES/SNES RPGs got anime adaptations. Even Chrono Trigger, there's an anime of that.

Quality fantasy anime:
>Kaze no Tairiku
>Dragon Half
Middling fantasy anime:
>Bakuretsu Hunters
>Tobira o Akete (the movie not the extremely short OVA for kids of the same name)
Some more quality anime that loosely fit "tolkienic fantasy":
>Greed
>Andromeda Stories
Quality fantasy isekais:
>Genmu Senki Leda
>El Hazard (the original OVA)
>Magic Knight Rayearth
>NG Knight Ramune (game isekai with mechas for kids set in a fantasy world, feels like the kind of thing that would have aired with Yu-Gi-Oh and Zatch Bell on kids' television)
Other fantasy anime I haven't watched yet:
>Ruin Explorers
>Azukachin ChaCha
>Mahoujin Guru Guru
>Robin Hood no Daibouken
>Andersen Douwa: Ningyo Hime

There's another fantasy isekai I haven't watched and don't actually remember the name of, all I remember is a brown girl kneeling with a sword on the cover and it's from the early 2000s. But I hear it was pretty good, might be worth finding.

.>>25416
Yeah, writing the scripts themselves isn't even the issue. Just trying to see if what I was planning to do wasn't already completely implemented elsewhere, so I don't end wasting time up reinventing the wheel.
That and knowing damn well the moment I start with the basic script, I'll be drawn into the black hole of autism with trying to even out the appearance of single cour series episodes with the 100+ episode series, and it will just snowball out of control from there.

>>25565
The general idea is to emulate a tv schedule, so the progress should be stored centrally, and no real extra info is required other than what episode was started.
No need to bother with this though, since I will be taking a crack at it myself eventually.

>>25577
Chrono Trigger's OVA isn't actually an adaptation, and instead being a comedy involving the monsters having their own millennial faire. Probably why it's so enjoyable; hard to properly adapt a game that lasts for at least a few dozen hours in the space of a season, let alone one episode or movie, so it didn't bother to.

>>25578
It would be wise to avoid trying to make things too smart.
let SFF := series frequency factor (the higher it is, the more frequent the episodes will be)
let A := distance from last appearance of series in the program
if A = inf: let score := INT_MAX
else: let score := A*SFF
Then sort by score and series name (so that you have deterministic order for series with same score). SFF should default to something bigger than 1, so that you have the room to increase and decrease, and make it easily editable. If you want to stretch single cour series out, you could make the default dependant on number of episodes, but then you have the issue of season order or stuff (not) being in single folder, so you're gonna have to manually configure some stuff anyway. Best just make things easily configurable, rather than overcomplicated.

Here's something that's been on my mind for a while. How does King Crimson work, in the case of Narancia's death? Because the way it's framed is kind of how Dio does it with timestop, and having recently watching the anime there are a few times where KC seems to be pretty much time stop like Diavolo's reveal in the Colosseum(I don't remember this well but there wasn't a time skip during his reveal in the manga).

King_Crimson.png
[Hide] (63.1KB, 1559x1808)

>>32362
Firstly you have to understand that KC's ability isn't to erase time but to 'phase projectiles in and out of existence'.

If you for example had footage of a car crash and 'erased' the time of the crash you would still be left with the same aftermath, that being two wrecked cars. But KC would leave both cars unharmed and they would've passed each other without a crash, KC phases projectiles out of existence and when the ability ends they pop back into existence (the clearest example of this is when Diavolo uses KC to avoid being gunned down by Aerosmith when he was busy with Metallica). 

>there are a few times where KC seems to be pretty much time stop
When KC activates people continue the action they were doing just before the activation, so during it's ability they can't react to any new information which makes it seem like a time stop. Going back to the cars, assume that both drivers would see each other before the crash, brake, and thus avoid a crash. If KC activates before the drivers see each other both drivers would continue the action they were doing before KC activated. During KC's activation both drivers would continue driving without the ability to react to any new information they gain during KC's ability. For example during the first encounter with Diavolo Narancia was eating chocolate on the boat and he continued to eat them during the 'time skip', afterwards he had no recollection of eating the chocolate. He was essentially 'locked' in eating chocolates during KC.

In the case of Narancia' it was probably just a matter of timing it right, you'd have to pick him up and throw him into the spikes, he wouldn't be impaled until KC's ability deactivates (since he would count as a projectile).

>>32367
But then I guess either KC and Divaolo are the only ones who are intangible in the duration of the time whatchamacall it or he can choose what can phase in and out because the end of the fight with Risotto he has the bullets phase through him but not Risotto.

It is though, clearly you don't post anything interesting enough to get banned. Some of us like making posts that aren't just "what is your opinion on X" and "post your waifu" and "[female character name]!" It's just boring and stale. So what, we get a few people who make absolutely garbage threads every now and then, big deal. If you start arbitrarily banning actually garbage threads then you eventually start banning borderline garbage threads and then the line between garbage and fun becomes completely blurred until you are identical to reddit/cuck/a/ and you have a completely sanitary, bland environment. Best just to delete spam/cp/posts that have absolutely nothing to do with anime and try to leave it at that. And off topic posts within a thread that are still tangentially related to the thread itself should be left for the sole reason that, once again, arbitrarily deleting things and banning people is a slipperly slope into a twitter like environment, which smug/a/ has no problem with considering they'll fucking ban you for forgetting a period at the end of your sentence.

I need to convert mkv to mp4 with minimum quality loss, what's the best solution considering I'm tech retarded?

>>41005
Lazy solution:
Download ffmpeg, and then in console do this:
ffmpeg -i yourfile.mkv outputfile.mp4

Better solution:
Check what codecs this mkv uses for video and audio. mp4 can only use H264 codec for video, and AAC codec for audio, and mkv can use fucking everything. I'm on windows and I use mpc-hc codec that comes with K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, and I check which codecs video uses by opening video in mpc-hc, and doing file->properties.

Now you know if you need to reencode only video, only audio, both or nothing. Next download Avidemux, open your video in it. If video doesn't need reencoding, set video codec to copy, overwise set it to H264 or something like that. Set audio codec to copy or AAC. Set container format to mp4. Click save. Play with parameters if quality is shit. You can select only part of the video when choosing proper encoding parameters if your video is very long and you don't want to wait 2 hours on every try. Choose slightly slower encoding speed if you are patient, choose lower quality if you need video to be smaller, rest of parameters are magic.

Best solution:
Just send mkv. Put it in zip or something, and then send it. Fuck everything.

>>41009
What do you mean send it?

>>41010
Just don't convert mkv to anything.

Every time you compress something using lossy compression, you lose quality, unavoidably.

So it seems default LC FDK is the way to go for casual purposes.

Either way avidemux does a perfect conversion of a 5 gig file under 2 minutes so thanks anon. Have a lewd picture.

Codec nerd here. When most people refer to AAC they're referring to AAC-LC, or AAC low complexity. At certain bitrates, like 128kbps, it sounds fine, and it's generally considered the second best codec for audio (beaten only by opus). AAC low complexity to my knowledge adheres to the original standards set forth for encoding AAC and doesn't have any sort of shit added on to it, there have just been constant improvements to the encoders. It is therefore the least complex of the AAC family, making it easy to encode and decode quickly and with less power consumption.

The problem with AAC is that it starts to get pretty fucking abysmal (even compared to vorbis I believe) at low bitrates. So there's two additions to AAC: HE-AACv1 and v2. HE stands for "high efficiency" and is exactly what it sounds like: you try to make the audio sound good despite a ton of compression and a really fucking low bitrate. If you can get something to sound good at this bitrate, file size should be pretty tiny.

For bitrates around 64-96k you'll use HE-AACv1 which adds something called spectral band replication or SBR. Not going to bother explaining what it is, if you're interested in codecs you'll look more into this shit yourself. Often for things below 64k you use HE-AACv2, which has SBR coupled with parametric stereo (PS), adding to the complexity but also adding to the quality at a low bitrate.

If you play a HE-AAC file in a media player that doesn't support the SBR and PS extensions, it just doesn't play those parts and your audio sounds like fucking garbage so be careful. However I think most players accept HE-AAC stuff.

>>41036
Codec nerd, nee codec nerd, what is avi exactly? I heard once that mp4 is cut down version of avi somewhere once, but now I wonder if I was hallucinating or something.

>>41044
It's just a container format made by Microsoft. Stands for "audio video interleave" if you care about that. It has some rather poor limitations by modern standards (limited codecs, no VBR audio iirc), and especially when compared to MKV which can even contain SSA subtitles. I think MKV's only real limitation is that AV1 implementation is in "beta" last I looked, whereas I believe MP4 was the first to adopt the codec officially. Overall though, MKV is what you want in current year.

Codec nerd-sama, so what's the difference between AAC (FDK) and AAC (fav)?

LEWD.png
[Hide] (896.1KB, 960x1251)

>>41066
I assume you mean lav not fav. That's the libav/ffmpeg AAC encoder. I guess this is gonna be a bit of a long post, so here we go.

AAC is not a free codec and is patent encumbered. H264 and H265 are the same in this respect. In order to encode and make encoder binaries for the codec, MPEG and other rights holders want you to pay up royalties. MP3 was the same way for a long time but recently the patents for it expired, which means that now with LAME (the MP3 encoder of choice) the entire thing is patent-free and open source. Basically you can now, in current year, you are free to encode and use MP3 for anything without any jewish legal drama.

AAC is still patent-encumbered and I don't know how long it will be, AAC-LC should become patent-free first sometime in the future, and a while after, the HE-AAC stuff will follow. AAC encoding is a bit of a fucking mess right now. The first FOSS encoder for AAC was FAAC if I'm not mistaken, and it is now considered by everyone to be poor quality and not worth using. For a while there was a closed-source (but freeware) Linux and Windows encoder made by Nero. You can still download it, people have mirrored it in a lot of places. It's now also considered to not be of the best quality, but it does support HE-AAC which I suppose is nice. Windows comes with an AAC encoder. There might be some encoding software for windows that uses the AAC encoder provided with Windows. I know nothing about it. There's an AAC encoder that comes with iTunes. Don't really know shit about that either.

Here's the stuff that you might actually want to use: first there's an encoder that comes with old versions of Winamp, FhG AAC. It's generally considered to be good quality, but Windows only (probably works in wine tbh). Supports VBR, HE-AAC, etc. Everything you need to use it can be gotten for free. You can extract the encoding libraries from an old version of Winamp, and there's a command line utility somewhere on github for making rather good quality AAC encodes. It's also pretty fast. Franhaufer (the same people who made FhG AAC) make FDK-AAC for Android, as google is paying the licensing for that. It's open source but has a nonstandard license and warns you that it is patent-encumbered and if you're not using it on Android it's illegal. There's some guy who forks the code from the android open source repo and gets the encoder to compile and work correctly on desktops. The problem is that due to it being patent-encumbered, they can't provide binaries so you have to compile it yourself. LAME had the same problem until MP3 lost its patents. Finally, there's an encoder provided with ffmpeg but they generally told people not to use it because it was trash quality. However, they claim that with time it has become acceptable quality but it does not support HE-AAC so if you do encodes you will probably want them to be higher bitrate, probably nothing below 128kbps.

Even though it's not perfect, I think FDK-AAC is generally considered the best AAC encoder and is what you probably should be using, even though it can be a bit annoying that you have to compile it yourself. Quality should be top tier, perhaps even the best, and it should be feature complete whereas the ffmpeg/libav encoder is not.

Sorry for tl;dr but whatever, that should explain everything. Here's a loli.

If you're actually interested in this stuff, this article is decent if you'd like to read more: https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=AAC_encoders

Apparently ffmpeg/libav's encoder for AAC has shit support for VBR as well. So yeah I'd use FDK-AAC.

>>41071
ffmpeg can encode AAC with libfdk but because of its license it's not linked into official builds, you can install Gentoo and let its source-based package system compile ffmpeg with the library for you or figure out ffmpeg's shit build system.

>>41075
>ffmpeg can encode AAC with libfdk but because of its license it's not linked into official builds
I know. I kinda already explained that.

>>41076
Just realized this can be mis-interpreted as sarcastic, I meant "kinda" literally. My post was meant to explain that there is a reason why there are currently two open-source encoders for AAC and why ffmpeg has their own encoder instead of using an existing one (FAAC is trash and FDK-AAC has the nonstandard license as mentioned) but I didn't explain that FDK-AAC can actually be used in ffmpeg. I should have maybe explained that.

Would running linux be better for watching HD anime on a toaster? Is madvr still good?

>>41271
Linux isn't necessarily the answer to everything, there are distros that use a lot of system resources and there are distros that do not. I was actually looking for lightweight distros recently to put on an old 32 bit computer nearing 2 decades old and noticed puppy linux dropped 32 bit support and was disappointed. However if your toaster is 64 bit you could try puppy linux, it's probably the most maintained distro made intentionally to try to be very resource light.

These are some examples. If you are really into an anime or whatever series, fujos host translation blogs for untranslated guidebooks/fanbooks on tumblr too.

Reddit is okay for getting links to pirate and download software. That's it's only use other than some wiki guides posted in the subreddits.

>>42969
>gold can be found in the deepest cesspool
I'm inclined to agree because even though this board is /b/ pretending to be a vtuber board, I still come here because I've had good discussions with anons. I just have to wade through an astounding amount of trash unfortunately, and my only alternative is a board that will ban me for saying "lol" even if I make an otherwise good post. However, when it comes to things like social media that the normalniggers use, I have no idea why someone here would want to use that, or even lurk that. Everything I can say about normalnigger social media has already been said: circlejerks, censoring because muh ebil wrongthink, etc. It wouldn't be a big deal admitting to using reddit because this one time you needed a fix for something and the first result was a reddit link, you got the fix and that was that. End of story. But actually staying for the community (which is what lurking implies) is another thing entirely. It's just a bunch of people patting each other on the back for eating the latest dose of shit, and the first person to question a single thing is met with bans, censorship, and software that helps mob rule hide the bad goys (such as putting wrongthink all the way at the bottom of the replies on reddit). If you are okay with that format, it's almost guaranteed safe to say that the person does not belong here. We're here to get away from that kind of shit.

The reason the imageboard format has prevailed is because there's no stake in any of it and your post is nameless (unless you namefag like a fucking idiot) with a tiny bit of metadata and that's it. The actual content is in the post itself. You can easily go against the grain and piss people off if you feel necessary, which encourages users to be more honest, which is why when actual discussions happen on imageboards they are the fucking best way to discuss absolutely any subject. You can even attach related media to your post. It skips right past all of the circlejerky unnecessary bullshit cuts right to the meat of discussion. The only problem is when people come in to shit it up because it's also extremely easy to be low-effort. That's the double edged sword of online socializing with little to no consequence, you get some nigger who doesn't understand the value of the site and the format and thinks it's cool to be as fucking retarded as humanly possible.

Sorry for tl;dr but I don't care.

>>42973
>this one time you needed a fix for something and the first result was a reddit link, you got the fix and that was that
yeah I do that

>>42973
I agree, however, I must say that while the "imageboard format" itself is fine (more or less), the major problem with 8chan (and this was criticized very early on, if you remember, or are aware), is that it was based off of reddit's create-your-own subreddit system, which encourages hugboxing and mob-mentality, which did happen, even if the site and leftovers are full of people who came since and after 2016.

>>42976
Yeah, it's why I've never held the belief that you should moderate opinions. You should only moderate the topic at hand. When anyone can make a board, they can choose to moderate opinion if they wish, and it does indeed turn into a hugbox/circlejerk. The thing about moderating/censoring opinions is that it just isn't needed. Opinions will be tested naturally with discourse, arguments will be made, and the ones who can back up their claims and make the best arguments should end up prevailing anyway. It's also good to have your opinions tested to see if they hold up to scrutiny. Shielding yourself away from criticism does not help you; in fact it will only surely make you oblivious to better information, which is to your detriment. It also doesn't help you become better at having debates and making arguments, which I believe is an important skill if you like being sharp. It's no surprise why the left is an easy target, because the spaces they use (like reddit) are impossible to have debates in due to the format and the software. Even if you took the reddit format and made it a right-wing hugbox I would still hate it because of that reason.

Arch is even more niggerlicious than Debian.
Install any of Alpine, Void, Gentoo, Slackware, OpenBSD.

>>43038
>>43051
What makes a distro niggerlicious? Systemd?

What makes systemd bad btw? I am a linux-noob as you can tell

>>43038
>Artix
Looks like a huge mess, Arch systemd may be more stable than Artix. No thank you.

>>43051
>Alpine
They exclusively use musl which I feel like it doesn't have that much widespread support yet but at least I've been waning off nonfree software lately, so maybe I'll give Alpine a try later on.
>Void
Firefox has issues with the fonts falling back to some bitmap fonts. Some other issues I had, I forgot about. It was nice for a bunch of weeks until the technical issues started to bother me heavily with no way to fix them, but I might still try Void again later.
>Gentoo
Installed Gentoo many times before, but I always get tired of compiling everything and end up dropping Gentoo. It's just not for me.
>Slackware
Tried Slackware a few times before but it wasn't for me. I ended up using the 3rd party package managers and it was a horrible experience, maybe manual dependency resolution is the way to go. It would be tiring and it would be extremely painful.
>OpenBSD
Never tried it but it doesn't seem to support much desktop hardware. But I might try it later on.

>What makes systemd bad btw?
Too much shit and none of it works. It's like C++ but an init system.

>>43102
And also provides a security vulnerability and root access iirc. Not the freedom-lover's choice of system manager.

>>43096
If you're new to linux you probably use windows and I'd be willing to guess you don't know what an init system is, what feature creep is, unix philosophy, etc. A lot of this is probably foreign to you and you just want a stable and usable operating system but don't want windows, which is understandable. For that reason, and you admitting to being new to linux, I'd probably recommend one of the big distros like mint or ubuntu. If you find yourself interested in technology and other distros, with time you will learn more about it and maybe you will discover  a distro you like more and will be able to have reasons why you'd want to switch. If I were a newbie though I'd just want to use something that would have a lot of support for troubleshooting problems if they arise.

I'm thinking about creating a blog where I post my reviews of anime I watch and video games I play. However, I was wonder, does anyone even read that type of stuff anymore?

>>43118
/geimu/ would appreciate your input

>>43118
I remember old /animu/ having a thread like that. You can try making it though.

>>43128
I meant a blog outside of an imageboard.

>>43130
nice blog idea tell me where I can subscribe faggot

>systemd
i understand the complaint about bloat, since it does a lot more then a traditional init, but i always figured the security concerns were overblown. it doesn't make sense to me how debian and canonical could be passing off inherently insecure software to enterprise and the whole internet hasn't come crashing down yet. of course vulns pop up from time to time and then get patched. but if systemd is so inherently insecure compared to other inits, how is it that so many servers run on debian and ubuntu?

>>43132
I don't have one at the moment, I was throwing around the idea because I find myself disagreeing with a lot of the so-called "influencers" that currently exist on traditional sites and media (Especially the baizuo), and figured I'd start up my own thing to (At least) counter it or offer an alternative perspective. But, like I said, I was wondering if people even read that type of stuff anymore, especially when it seems like everyone makes videos these days.

>>43136
I don't really read or watch any "influencers," reviewers of mostly anything at all are generally smug midwit assholes who have nothing to contribute to society but I'd definitely give whatever you do a shot if you shilled it here. But I don't really know if I'm representative of your target audience. Just do what you want to do and have fun with it, anon.

>>43136
Like the previous anon I don't watch any influencers or read any anime blogs. Whenever I'm curious about some anime/manga/LN I just quickly skim through the reviews in sites like NovelUpdates and if I don't see anything I hate I'll add it to my backlog. I don't see the point of reading anime reviews on some blog when it's so easy to watch a couple of episodes on a free streaming site.
Games are a different matter, but video is a much better format for that.

>>43118
I suppose it depends on your style, both for writing and layout. I've found it comfy in the past discovering old "family and friends" style review sites for then-current RPGs and such, though usually they wind up 404ing in short order because people that ran it are seeing traffic and suddenly remembering they're paying for hosting and a domain they don't want to use anymore. That said, I found those sort of things more interesting as things to kill time with, rather than as actual "influences".

Not going to lie, I've thought of doing that sort of thing myself, really.

>>43136
I think most people prefer to listen to/watch content (in fact for the past few years there has been a video style that basically bombards the viewers with endless jarring cuts of information that I think is designed for short attention span people), but there will always be room for written content, which I am biased toward because it's my personal preference. At the end of the day if you don't enjoy doing it for its own merit then it's not worth doing.

Ah, I understand a bit more where you're coming from. I don't know why, but it's easier for me to find incest "cute" as well, even yuri incest. But even in that case, I might then favor a friend of the siblings that discovers them, and feels heartbroken and lonely at the revelation.
I think I generally prefer "forbidden fruit" relationships if they're villains. In this case there is a tragic element when they inevitably die.
>>43026
I think for me, it was because her hinted yuri-ism is typically subtle at best, and her general innocence, along with the invisible Akarin gag, gave rise to the concept that she has herself against the world. The dream can be hand-waved away, since dreams aren't always about what we desire one-for-one; it could be interpreted that her mind had overcompensated her desire to be noticed by her friends, and instead of seeing her as equals, it had them worship her. Besides that it didn't occur early on and I hadn't read the source material.

Alright. I don't agree with your views but thank you for explaining them. It's always nice to have a civil conversation about something.

I read reviews all the time. I hate watching the pretentious idiots on youtube so I just go and read articles on the net for reviews. I was thinking of starting one myself as well on a personal website of mine.

>>43171
That's a interesting interpretation on Akari. I did mention that I like her and Akane, but realistically, I've always thought this to extent as well.

How do I niconico?
I've tried registering with protonmail to grab some 2ho porn from seiga: "Invalid email address".
What other email provider do they accept that doesn't require phone verification?

The sooner you understand that tech companies and their sysadmins are tech illiterate the quicker everything will make sense.
