Photograph with FFmpeg output in Bash

When was the last time that you typed

ffmpeg 

in your ba{c{k{z}}}sh?

Do you know that this command has been driving many many video Systems Servers and programmes for long time?

Type

man ffmpeg 

Check out what the command does. If You do anything video related, look if FFmpeg already executes it gorgeously in the backend so all you need to do is write a front End.

Happy programming

$ lsblk | less

$ dmesg | less

Bash csh zsh ksh tksh fish are powerful

Entire networks can be controlled and build with them.

Let's take for example command line tools to control media output

For me e.g mplayer and vlc -I cli are much more interesting when it comes down to standard control of media playback. I prefer to use MOC (mocp) Music on Console, instead of bulky RAM hungry programs, which go on the internet to fetch data that I never asked for and thus burn bandwidth

The memory footprint of Music on Console is so low that you can use it on a system which has been built more than two and a half decades ago.

The only graphical media playback program I know that can do that also has been written by my friend Andy Loafoe and that is alsaplayer

Andy programmed alsaplayer when he saw Delitracker playing on my Amiga systems
We're talking the period when Linux was barely moving in Xwindows when you had window managers like fvwm twm and few others.
The alsa audio interface was also just Born.

It is within this context that Andy envisioned alsaplayer. It should be modular just like delitracker Amiga, it should be lightweight daily tracker runs on an Amiga 500 with just half A megabyte of chip ram
That should still be memory left to do other the things so straight calls were made to widget libraries.

Within a few weeks to a few months of coding alsaplayer came out of Alpha and went Bèta in code stability.

Because everything was written with efficiency in mind and it was programmed as portable as possible, alsaplayer can still be used many decades after It has been written, one of the main reasons is that it has been coded by a command line programmer

$ curl wttr.in/nieuw_amsterdam_suriname|lolcat

gives the following output here

I love the power of curl combined with wttr.in

$ curl wttr.in/leonsberg_suriname|lolcat

Giving this example for those of us who love to use true free services for our work / live flow

I've been using wttr for decade(s)

Read here for more examples.

Over here locat is crucial in the terminal arsenal of programs.

Just as the vitality of Bram Molenaar's VIM which I need to write fluently,
I use a set of vital functions that are always inserted in the sh. I always need to have lolcat along with me for the ride.

Sometimes the third Line Function is just not enough to highlight the output

#Poll: Curious about people's attitudes towards shell scripting.

Two part question:

1. Are you a DEVeloper (or working in a development-heavy role), OTHER-IT worker (such as a sysadmin, architect, anything in a non-development-heavy role), or NON-IT (accountant, doctor, whatever)
2. Do you HATE shell scripting, are you INDIFferent towards (or ignorant of) shell scripting, or do you LOVE it?

Last_OS_Linux, is a nice Linux distribution based on Linux Mint with Cinnamon DE & has great Wine all over it, which can run certain win64 programs out of the box

You should give it a try even if you already have a favorite distro already

As you can see in the screen cap the project has grown beyond just a one-man show

It is vital to understand that the project would not have been scaled in this manner & at this logarithmic rate, had it not been for important partners, who due to the power of the FediVerse, were quickly introduced to the project

Did not only gave words of interest they actually contributed with giving server space to boxyBSD.

Reed the Alt text voor more information

Please read the screen cap closely and also read the Alt text & realize how much boxyBSD has blown up

600 plus VMS!!!

An insightful article was written by @gyptazy
If this is of your interest, and you take the time to read, analyze between the lines what has been said, you will learn a lot from this

If you are passionate about Proxmox like I am, you will love to read these kind of posts, because they've been systematically, logically and relatively simply formulated, so that it's digestible for the end user of proxmox all the way up to the diehard programmer who hacks in Proxmox code
