I had problems combining different videos (different resolutions). I was able to solve the problem however I’m not sure I can explain it, but I will try. So this description may change every now and then, as I figure better or more correct ways to do things. I may also not describe the best way …

Omarchy Linux
I might have to take a look at Arch based Omarchy Linux. I had already been hearing good things about it. I recently watched Network Chuck give it a good review. Now The Lunduke Journal is reporting to my surprise that it’s a non-woke distribution. Network Chuck didn’t say any thing political about it, however …
Handbrake notes
A few tips because I forgot some things. When converting multiple TV files. On Open Source, if you double click (open) the source directory, you won’t be able to add multiple files to the queue, so just select (single click) the source directory without opening it.
Wings annoying Season groupings
Wings DVD combines Seasons 1 and 2 into 3 discs (also seasons 3-4). But I will describe Seasons 1 and 2. Season 1 only has 6 episodes, but they put 9 episodes on Disc 1, meaning Season 1 and the 1st 3 episodes of Season 2 are both on Disc 1. Season 2 has 22 …

WordPress export
When my account was suspended, due to my own fault. I thought what if I can’t resolve this and want to restore my log (WordPress), elsewhere. I occasionally export the data using “All content”. I looked at the xml export it was only ~11MB and I started wondering if media was also exported. I started …
My website finally back online
I’ve been down for a few weeks. Totally my own fault, because I missed the yearly payment notices. I also had problems signing on. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to get it back up.
