The XZ attack and timeline
29. October 2021 At this point Jia Tan pops up, and the first thing we see from him is an innocuous patch to the xz repository, and while a lot of people believe he started out trying his luck with another library also known as libarchive, this is not the case, I would bet itās more of a backup looking at the dates, being that there are a few days in between as shown in this commit.

Making Amiga IFF Thumbnails Work in Linux
Full agreement, and with the addition of xpkĀ¹/xfdĀ² as natural extensions to that extensibility too. I see things like xfd supporting xzĀ¹, and I'm simultaneously amazed that it exists and happy that I don't need to do xz {,de}compression on 68k ;)
I guess we have something similar-ish with libarchiveā“, but nobody(including me) has pushed the extra mile to get file dialogs to support random compression and decompression formats.
Beyond OT: I didn't realise how much stuff was still going on at aminet, but I love love LOVE that people are still dropping new car sets for Geoff Crammond's F1GP.

Video stops on furst frame, audio continues to play,seek works
I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift}
Author of ripgrep here.
Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?
Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.
Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.
Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.
ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:
* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)
* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.
Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
