It appears we've executed a successful color change.

Think again.

I guess I should watch the japanese version of Samurai Pizza Cats instead of re-watching the Saban version

But I think I'm going to re-watch the Saban version.

Of course, this just reminds me of all the other less serious Media that I wish would get real translations and releases in the US.

I'd love to watch Aryamaan – Brahmaand Ka Yodha, for example. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTcaNGtVNew ) but I don't speak Hindi.

I muddled through a couple of episodes with autogenerated and autotranslated subtitles, but it wasn't pleasant and, honestly, I prefer this kind of thing dubbed rather than subbed (or, at least, I prefer to have the option for a dub.)

I'm really glad Discotek released Samuarai Pizza Cats again. It was a very minor part of my childhood, because it was only available intermittently and inconsistently. I don't remember much about it, really, but the few memories I have of the show are very positive. I'm looking forward to revisiting it.

I haven't watched this since I was a child.

If Aryamaan was released in the US with decent english subtitles, I'd buy it.

If it was released in the US with an okay dub, I'd watch it sooner.

(Much harder to multi-task with subtitles.)

It's weird to me that those kinds of releases are just way less common than they used to be.

I grew up on badly dubbed VHS tapes from all over Europe and Asia. There was a market for it.

That market probably still exists?

... I tried again today with the regular remote runner setup and it's working flawlessly?

I dunno.

Hey! Do I know any peertube admins who have had success with remote runners for long running lives?

I'm using ffplayout to push a live stream to peertube and I want to transcode that live using remote runners, but I keep running in to a problem where, when the video changes in ffmpeg, it takes the remote runner upwards of 10 seconds to catch the new video, and the stream drops.

Anyone else encountered this?

@zarfeblong It's not without precedent! @foone managed to get Microsoft to open source 3d movie maker.

I don't know any current microsoft employees, but I know plenty of former microsoft employees. I'll pass the word around.

We're still watching the x-files in the evenings and Stamats (or however it's spelled, it's late and I don't feel like checking) from Discovery just showed up in this episode.

@evan @darius I suppose it depends on the venue? Fediverse, basically never.

In a chat app, depending on the context, I might move to a smaller room or a DM if I thought the conversation was only relevant to a single party, and the room was pretty full. But modern chat apps have threading, and I'll use a thread before a private message.

@darius @evan Maybe it's just me being non-NT, but if a conversation starts in public, I'm not going to take it private unless there's a very good reason to do otherwise.

Going to try 1440x810 for a while and see if that helps.

@kepstin @kelbot sure. But SD is Boring and Complicated.

So CF cards are the move. I'm going to standardize on CF cards for music distribution.

Or, I guess, I could get some flash ROM and burn 16Kbps opus audio files on to ROMs and make cartridges and cartridge readers and really make the whole thing needlessly bespoke.

It bothers me that there's no universally recognized storage medium between Floppy Disk and CD-ROM in terms of storage space.

I'm doing a thing that would be really cool to release in a limited fashion on like a MD-DATA disc or a Zip disk or a click! disk or whatever, but no one has those, and they were never popular.

The closest I can get is, like 64MB USB disks or CF cards or SD cards.

I get frustrated by this every so often.
