GlusterFS VS FFmpeg

https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/894

And apparently apart from modern coreutils using that, it is mostly gentoo users hitting the bugs in lseek.

This allows us to fetch the desired quality of the video as per the user's request, and once the media file finishes processing, it will be uploaded to a distributed file storage such as HDFS, GlusterFS, or an object storage such as Amazon S3 for later retrieval during streaming.

GlusterFS

But where can we store files at scale? Well, object storage is what we're looking for. Object stores break data files up into pieces called objects. It then stores those objects in a single repository, which can be spread out across multiple networked systems. We can also use distributed file storage such as HDFS or GlusterFS.

GlusterFS - same as above (https://www.gluster.org/)

I'm running three Blocky instances in Docker (and CoreDNS for internal zone resolving) by placing YAML files on a GlusterFS share, so I can update configs on one VM, and then just restart Blocky containers via SSH.

Longhorn and storage in general the hardest part of any HA setup, but also not the only choice, at the most basic level something like glusterFS is easy to get running and usable in k8s as NFS volumes, it however doesn't have all the extra features of longhorn.

Do you mean https://www.gluster.org/ ?

GPL2

Since FFmpeg is GPL2, doesn’t that require CompressX to disclose its source code?

IANAL, apologies if I miss understand license requirements.

This turns out to be a lot of assembly macros to help write one x86 assembly. https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavutil/x86/x...

The sibling comment recommending compiler intrinsics is probably the best way to go for writing SIMD code. A mixture of `` style types and intrinsics to specify instructions is a solid 90% solution compared to assembly.

If you want that last 10%, I think macros are putting the emphasis in the wrong place. They're a somewhat easy way to build up a language abstraction which will work if held carefully, but I'm confident the dev experience using this abstraction when you write invalid code will be deeply confusing.

I would suggest to write a parser instead of the macros. That'll tell you clearly when the syntax is invalid (though possibly not with much precision) and it'll give you a place to put semantic analysis for where valid syntax encodes nonsense. Do the equivalent of the macro expansions on the parsed tree instead of on the text. Emit asm as the "back end".

You might have heard of FFMPEG or ImageMagick for image and video edition in a programmatic way. MoviePy is a Python module for video editing (Python wrapper for FFMPEG and ImageMagick). It provides functions for cutting, concatenations, title insertions, video compositing, video processing, and the creation of custom effects. It can read and write common video and audio formats and be run on any platform with Python 2.7 or 3+.

There are many cloud-based tools and websites that can convert your images, but the problem with these tools is that you usually have to upload the files for them to be processed, and some of their services are not free. In this article, I'd like to introduce a piece of software called FFmpeg, which allows you convert the images locally with one simple command.

To run the demo locally, be sure to have Python 3.11 and FFmpeg installed.

To get started, we’ll need to install FFmpeg, the all-in-one tool for working with audio and video. We’ll use it to record audio and Whisper AI will use it to create a transcription.

Recently I needed to build something with Python and FFmpeg. And while FFmpeg is amazingly powerful, it can also be incredibly complicated.

8/Once done it will have frames and a gif (if you are getting a ffmpeg error it will just not make the GIF - you will need to install https://ffmpeg.org/ and look on youtube for how to add it to PATH). Please note the GIF is signficantly worse quality than the original frames so have a look at them.

https://ffmpeg.org/ - FOSS, Command line. Will convert anything you have to anything you want.
