ASS (Advanced Substation Alpha)
Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.
Because they knew exactly what they were doing, obviously.
Because ASS.
Because substation alpha is SSA so they just reversed it.
Because it's funny.
When I took a geometry test in eighth grade, I got a point deducted because I wrote ASS instead of SSA (side-side-angle) when calculating angles and side lengths of a triangle. Still got the right answer though
Right in the nostalgia! Happiness is a warm genlock...
I’m so old and tired, this isn’t even funny anymore. I’ll have to explain to some junior engineer about ASS. Then management will learn about this term “ass”, and use it incorrectly at every possible opportunity. Then when no one can explain ASS, I end up being “the ass guy.”
HEY EVERYONE IT'S THE ASS GUY
I always chuckle when Jellyfin shows subtitles as "Full ASS".
Never half ass two things. Full ass 1 thing
Same.
For some reason, ASS files cause stuttering on my Jellyfin Server living on a NAS
The default libass shaping engine,
Wtf? Is datascope funny or am I missing something?
This guy doesn't get the joke, everyone point and laugh!
Ha ha ha, whoosh! Right guise?
You scrolled too far. 😆 Same as me, but I scrolled back up.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Pages are fractional now?
Man, I really gotta get with the times...
"Section". They just used the wrong word ¯\(ツ)/¯
The bible is an old western book that orders itself so
I've had text books that have page numbers in the corner as chapter-number. It's not unheard of. When I was in JROTC in highschool the cadet field manual had pages like this. I'm sure others did too but I specifically remember that one more because I was there for four years. (Had to be there for riflery team.)
ffmpeg command lines are straight up black magic.
Anyone who understands them is not to be trusted.
It's even worse than tar.
GNU tar is easy and straight-forward.
It's also completely incompatible with any other Unix, but then, what difference does it make is nobody can use them?
A more complex but more commonly used program is rsync
rsync -rav /home/user/Documents /mnt/usbdrive is treated differently than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents/ /mnt/usbdrive which is different than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents /mnt/usbdrive/ which is different than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents/ /mnt/usbdrive/
It's a great tool for making copies onto drives, even servers. But man you have to double check how each folder path is laid out, otherwise it'll write the files of one folder to the main drive, unorganized.
I recommend --dry-run and reading the stdout with human readable output -h. And dont use the --delete flag if you dont know what will happen 😓
ffmpeg commands are one of the best use cases for ChatGPT
If they know Regex, assume you are in Sarumans tower and held captive until a hawk comes in.
Writing regex is easy.
Reading it again after a couple of weeks...
Tbh the frequent pain from needing to read it again often happens because it was so hard to write correctly that it misbehaves on some data and you need to adjust it.
