Damn ! it's become harder and harder on the WWW to exchange with our peer !

I currently have a question about the ffmpg program and obviously I went on their official website to see which support community they host.

But in my point of view, they host only tools that are not practical to handles questions and follow-up on it.

They have a

1. mailing list but I don't like that because first I have to give my mail and secondly that mail address will be quickly flooded with all the other posts of everyone else
   .
2. a IRC but this is a linear chat option and so you cannot track properly an answer to a topic, to a given topic.
   .
3. a forum and that's my favorite tool to ask and answer questions but obviously like the majority of people now they do not own this forum !

They rely on stack exchange and as as you might know stack exchange is a censorship kingdom, proof, I tried to create an account on stack exchange ( super user ) but obviously as as soon as I enter my e-mail boom I'm being blocked/censored

I sent an

E-mail

Hi,

Sorry to write you directly on your nominative email that is listed on https://ffmpeg.org/**** It seems the website ffmpeg.org lack of an email address contact :/

I have a question about FFMPG program, but I do not desire to subscribe to a mailing list because while doing so, my mailbox will be flooded. IRC is not the best either because it's a linear chat and not by topic based. at least (and my favorite) you propose a forum but it's hosted by superuser.com and unfortunately this is the kingdom of censorship !

I tried to register with my regular email address and bam ! I'm instantly forbidden to register on their platform

What the heck !!??

I don't know if you know lemmy but it might be good to have a look at it. it's easy, decentralized ! and less censored (but maybe you have tights with superuser.com ? )I don't know... meanwhile I'm blocked (and maybe others)

Regards,

Rick.

to the FFMPEG team, but at this day, I didn't get an answer.

So to not be stuck with that problem, I look around the World Wide Web and I found an older forum https://forum.doom9.org/ that I was using ~10 years ago ! for a few questions and help other peers.

Today I tried to create a new account. and obviously boom again I'm censored directly !

in conclusion

here my two cents it if you offer yours visitors a forum:
either own it or at least do not use a fully automatic banning system ! because it's always produce false positive and this is become more and more frustrating for users..

Hopefully there is lemmy, and the people that own/run instances seem to be more human / open toward their peer, and do not embraces censorship.

Hi,

is it exist cheap ~$60 SBC in X86-64 ??

No thank you for Rapsberry PI

I used Raspberry PI SBC for a while now.

But it's really hard to found a Linux distribution that support

• RPI (arm64)
• sysVinit 💖
• And that I like

Please don't bring systemD in this discussion thanks.

Hi,

I've recently installed FreeNginx[^FN]

I would like to use the geoip_module to have some "Stats" about my visitors..\

on the documentation we can read:

... using the precompiled MaxMind databases ...

.
.
.

But on the MaxMind website I'm facing a wall:

Sorry, we were not able to create your account. Please ensure that you are using an email that is not disposable, and that you are not connecting via a proxy or VPN.

So not working... And anyway I'm not a fan of using something compiled and more over not open source...

So do you know another solution to get GeoIP data with FreeNginx ?

Thanks.

Hi,

A little question for the devs of CoMaps. Is a build for Linux (.appimage) is planned ? 🙏

Thanks.

Hi Raspberry Pi Community,

I would like to use radio remote's control to trigger an events on my Raspberry pi.

I guess I'll go with 433Mhz as I believe they are the most common available ?

So I will need a 433Mhz RX/TX Module to connect on the GPIO, so far I get it...

But how properly secure the communication between those remotes and the RPI to avoid any anyone to sniff the transmitting and replay it. In other words spoof it.

Wubba Lubba dub-dub...

Hi,

I'm using (like a lot of us, I presume ) Mozilla MDN

But I just discover that they display advertise :'(

Damn that think (MDN doc) is run by committer (I did post few thing on it) and they display advertise ! f**king hell ! Can I have my cut 💵 then ?

beside jokes, do you know good (decentralized ?) alternative to mdn docs ?
Thanks.

Hi,

I've discover haml and pug [^1] ( both web template engine )

It's totally Pytonic ! ( and make even more sense to use it with python rather than JS 🤮 )

I've look, if it exist for Python, but so far, I've found only

• PyPugJS (kakulukia)
• pug (pypi) alpha
• Pug4Py

The first, only convert pug into another template :/
The second, didn't pass the alpha version.
The third, require dependence, not maintained etc.. \

So I didn't found a Python package that could do haml/pug to html directly, without too much dependence...

For example:

From

html
  head title Example for Python discuss
  body
    h1 Hello world
    p This is a paragraph.

To

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Example for Python discuss</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello world</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
  </body>
</html>

Do you know if such thing exist ?
If not, I will build my own (FLOSS). ( I'm open to any advice to do so :) )

Thanks

[^1]:Pug is a template engine heavily influenced by Haml and implemented with JavaScript 🤮 for Node.js
