The new version of freetube added a extra big play button on videos whenever you stop, play, pause, or hover the mouse over the video player. I found it quite annoying.

Today I discovered in Settings, Player, "Display Play Button in Video Player" - removes it!!!!!

Hello!

I've been wanting to start a blog, so I can get rid of the few opinion-pieces that are filling up space in my mind, but I've gotten stuck at selecting a good framework with which to host the site.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a lightweight blog engine, that can prefferably federate into ActivityPub? I know about Wordpress, but I wanted to avoid it mostly in regards to security. Not that it would be unsecure per se and with proper maintanance, but I'm lazy and will probably forget to update it often enough, and due to it's popularity it's a pretty common target.

So far I was considering https://writefreely.org/, but I'm not sure if I would be able to make it look good/interesting.

I've also heard good things about Ghost, but the linked website seems to imply that federation is still not ready, is that correct?

Is there anyone here with their personal blog, who have a software to recommend I should look into?

Thank you!

Now, with the help of AI, it's even easier to waste time of open source developers by creating fake security vulnerability reports.

Widelands is a free, open source real-time strategy game with singleplayer campaigns and a multiplayer mode. The game was inspired by Settlers II™ (© Bluebyte) but has significantly more variety and depth to it.

TLDR: what tool will let a casual user to input a URL (to a disguised .m3u8 file) and get a .mp4?

Backstory, our school uses Panopto to record lectures. The web interface is crap, but I found a project that lets you download the video files as .mp4

https://programming.dev/post/21072323

that is until 2 weeks ago when Panopto started exporting the files as

• 1 large .panobf1 file
• 2 small .panobf2 files, a few bytes each

I can swap the file extension for the .panobf1 file to .mp4. This is enough 90% of the time. However, since this is the file with the classroom camera overlaid on the slides, it blocks the content in the corner.

Investigating the .panobf2 files:

❯ file master.panobf2
master.panobf2: M3U playlist, ASCII text

I ran this command on each .panobf2 file to download the classroom stream and slides stream as separate mp4 files.

ffmpeg -i <file-url> -c copy video.mp4

It's finals season and I want to make a new post to help people out. CLI isn't for everyone, so I'm looking for a tool instead

I have heard they’re the main two choices for FOSS enthusiasts. What are their pros and cons?

I have used LibreOffice so far and I’m very impressed with the ui as it is much more visually appealing than IWork and Microsoft Office.

I am introducing you Fast Music Remover (https://github.com/omeryusufyagci/fast-music-remover); a free and open source tool that filters internet media.

We consume, willingly or not, large amounts of media everyday, and that includes content that is emposed on us. I want to give you the choice to opt-out of them without missing out on the core content.

We're building a feature rich media processor that is efficient, modular and cross platform. It's being built for you! This means: clean and light APIs for programmers, containerized on GHCR for remote users, with a Web UI for anyone interested!

Today, we support background music filtering and noise removal to enhance audio quality. In the near future, we are looking at supporting multiple ML models as well as DSP modules to empower you with the tools you need to take control over the media you consume.

There is a demo video on the readme as well as clear instructions on how to use FMR. You can immediately start by getting the docker image available at: https://github.com/omeryusufyagci/fast-music-remover/pkgs/container/fast-music-remover

If you have any feedback at all, please let me know. Thank you!
