jjjj

I saw a blog post about a jujutsu wrapper called jjj (for jujutsu jump ) today, and I figured that we couldn't just stop there. After all, what if you want to run jjj on multiple revisions at once? Introducing jjjj ( jujutsu jump jobs ): #!/bin/bash cmd = " ${1 :- show} " selected = $( jj log -r 'all()' --color = always | fzf --min-height = 15 --cycle --ansi --multi --prompt "jj $cmd > " ) || exit…

More Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Videos: "IDR Frames are Random Access Points"

The following two links should be mandatory reading/watching for anyone working with videos: Falsehoods programmers believe about [video stuff] ( haasn's blog ) Derek Buitenhuis - Things Developers Believe About Video Files (Proven Wrong by User Uploads) (YouTube) Today I'd like to talk about another edge case along these lines. I have encountered [1] it in the wild a couple of times, and I've…

Hi Hello this Site Exists Now

Until now, I tried to avoid having a dedicated blog because :effort:, but The various pages and guides I've written are distributed across My GitHub gists One of my GitHub repositories The JET Guide The Fansubbing Wiki Pins in various Discord servers This was getting a bit too insane even for me. GitHub has kind of been going to shit recently [1] so I felt like I should maybe prepare to put my…

What Every Typesetter Should Know about Renderer Internals

After popular demand, I wrote a guide explaining how the libass subtitle renderer works internally, and what implications this has on the performance of different subtitle effects. Link: https://gist.github.com/arch1t3cht/8cb1793beb72d30e334c7c46ff8c1080

What you NEED to Know Before Touching a Video File

I wrote a guide explaining most of the basics of multimedia, in particular video encoding and remuxing, in order to try and help new users to avoid some of the many rookie mistakes one can make when it comes to working with videos.

The JET Guide

There have been multiple attempts ( guide.encode.moe and the silentaperture guide [1] ) at making a guide for modern anime encoding in the past, but none of them was ever completed, and the existing guides got more and more outdated as time went on and encoding practices evolved. I threw my own hat in the ring myself with my encoding resources gist , but of course that, too, was a long way from an…

Encoding Resources

As my first attempt for an encoding guide, I wrote a page collecting all the various encoding-related resources I found useful when learning about the subject. This then eventually grew into the JET guide .

Miscellaneous Tricks with Karaoke Templaters

A supplement to my karaoke templater guide explaining some uses of karaoke templaters outside of actual karaoke and dissecting the thought process behind writing them. Some of the code examples are a bit outdated now that better libraries (in particular ILL) are available, but the general concepts are still relevant. Link:…

The Math Behind Perspective in .ass Subtitles

I'll be honest, I completely forgot about this page and only rediscovered it now when going through all my old ramblings so I could link them on this blog. I don't think anything in there is wrong , but it's fairly outdated at this point. (It was written after I got Zahuczky's old Perspective-Motion script to work correctly, but before I built Aegisub's built-in perspective tool or my own improved…
