PAS TOUCHE J'Y SUIS – frangi
The way I get my ideas for these articles is often inspired by things I accomplished that month - be it applying a new approach to a task, or solving a problem that’s plaguing me. Unfortunately, I haven’t had to do either thing this month. As such, I’ll be focusing on a few basic tips I use almost daily. Convert MKV to mp4 I use Plex Media Server to stream my DVD collection from my NUC. For a long while, I ripped any videos into an MKV format, but, a few years ago, I switched to an mp4 approach, since I started using a MacBook Pro for work. Thus, some of my archived videos are MKV, and Plex has had some issues recognizing the files. Converting them to mp4 solved this. The easiest way to do this is to use ffmpeg. The command looks like this: ffmpeg -i inputfile -codec copy outputfile Replace inputfile with the actual filename and path, and outputfile with the destination. This will be a relatively quick process, since the codec works in either mkv containers, or mp4. So ffmpeg just has to copy it over, and resave it. Razer Devices I recently purchased a Razer DeathAdder Elite. The reason I chose that over something else: the shape fits my hand better than any other mouse I’ve ever tried. However, since it’s an extremely new product, the support from unofficial drivers isn’t there yet. For anyone who is using a supported device, you’ll want to install Razercfg, and use the GUI (qrazercfg) to configure the chroma lighting effects. For some devices, you may also want to check into razercommander, or some driver packages. Backup Solution I use borg and cron to back up a snapshot of my devices to our NAS every day. So far, I haven’t ever had to restore anything. However, the snapshots allow me to roll back specific changes, instead of everything, which is convenient. It also saves only changes, so the size of the backups is manageable. Questions, Requests, and Recommendations I realize this month’s article is rather short. For anyone who has ideas for articles - be it a question, a request for a review/tutorial, or recommendation into software or approaches I may want to look into - you can send me an email at lswest34+fcm@gmail.com.
