SleepyCattenAnyone else ever thought how amusingly multi-use -- and often surprisingly apt -- the word transcode is? Trans-coded software: Software that was (computer) coded by a trans person.Trans-coded media: Media with trans allegories coded into its subtext, such as The Matrix tetralogy.Transcoding Converting media from one format to another. You might even find that a trans person transcoded trans-coded media on trans-coded software.Programmer socks optional... but pretty comfy.<a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/IrreverentMusings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IrreverentMusings</a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#trans</a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#transgender</a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/TransCoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TransCoding</a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#queer</a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LGBTQ</a>+ <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LGBTQIA</a>+

CryptGoatLooking for a dedicated GPU for <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/transcoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#transcoding</a> purposes turned out to be the worst rabbit hole.🙈 So, I'm using a AMD Ryzen 4600G in my homelab featuring <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/ProxmoxVE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProxmoxVE</a>. The hardware transcoding capabilities of AMD hardware is very much behind Nvidia and <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Intel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Intel</a>, even though it isn't half as bad as expected. Anyway, the best transcoding hardware (best quality at same size/profile) are Intel devices featuring <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/QuickSync" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuickSync</a>. Setting up another dedicated transcoding device (featuing a low power Intel APU such as the <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/N100" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#N100</a>) device doesn't seem to make much sense for me. There are several Intel Arc GPUs on the market and they all have pretty much the same transcoding capabilities, so I'd like to get the Intel GPU featuring the lowest power draw, especially when idling.

doboprobodyne<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@christianp" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@christianp</a> Just a thought, from a knuckle-dragging biology scientist. TL;DR: I believe there is scope to make the hosting of a peertube instance even more lightweight in the future.I read some time ago of people using <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/webAssembly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#webAssembly</a> to transcode video in a user's web-browser. <a href="https://blog.scottlogic.com/2020/11/23/ffmpeg-webassembly.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.scottlogic.com/2020/11/23/ffmpeg-webassembly.html</a>Since then, I believe <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/WebGPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WebGPU</a> has done/is doing some clever things to improve the browser's access to the device's GPU.I have not seen any <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/peertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#peertube</a> capability that offloads video transcoding to the user in this way.I imagine, though, that this would align well with peertube's agenda of lowering the bar to entry into web-video hosting, so I cannot help but think that this will come in time.My own interest is seeing a <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Piefed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Piefed</a> (activitypub) instance whose web-pages could <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/autotranslate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#autotranslate</a> posts into the user's own language using the user's own processing power...

I just released a new version of my venerable video <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/transcoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#transcoding</a> tools:<a href="https://github.com/lisamelton/video_transcoding" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/lisamelton/video_transcoding</a>I've redesigned and rewritten this decade-old project for the modern era, with different behavior and incompatible APIs. Some old conveniences were removed but new features and flexibility were added. Please manage your expectations accordingly.The king is dead, long live the queen! 🥰
