PeerTube embed compared with YouTube embed.

PeerTube:
Circle play button.
Privacy information.
Rainbows.

YouTube:
Weird not quite a rectangle play button.
No privacy information.
No rainbows.

Also got the electronic version of the new issue of Roast. My interview isn't in there so I guess that'll probably run in the next issue in a couple months.

Coffee delivery arrived early enough in the day to interfere with breakfast. Having a cookie break to compensate.

Started switching video embeds on Typica's project site to use PeerTube videos instead of YouTube. It'll take a while to migrate the whole site over, but any individual change is trivial. https://typica.us/features/degree-of-roast.html

I've been asked to stay on the working group that decides what the Specialty Coffee Association's training program for coffee roasters looks like. I've been involved with that for several years now and am, of course, glad to continue doing that work.

I think I might now have the most coffee videos of any #PeerTube instance. Want more #coffee on your instance? Subscribe to https://video.typica.us

Looks like the option to publish after transcoding does something sane in the new PeerTube beta. It does the initial transcode, mid-range resolution version, and then publishes before doing additional higher and lower resolution versions (so transcode ordering is also different). Glad to use that feature from now on instead of having to monitor what's going on (not a good option for non-admins, this would be extra frustrating if I were just a user) to avoid publishing something broken.

Some rando on YouTube took my most popular video, replayed about 10 minutes of the start after the end of the video, and uploaded it as his own, using the exact title of a different one of my videos. It has pretty much no views, but why would you do that?

Recommended brewing practices have changed a bit since 1961 and so have some of the drink definitions, but I still like this old film from the Coffee Brewing Institute. https://video.typica.us/videos/watch/77881191-78da-448b-9bfb-6610af469710

Star Sapphire is a bad influence on her friends.

Now that the latest videos are all processed I've updated https://video.typica.us to PeerTube beta 9. That seems to have gone very smoothly. No service down time.

Oh look, it's a new chapter of Visionary Fairies in Shrine https://mangadex.org/chapter/389394/1

The cat is extra talkative tonight.

Now I know that it takes >24 hours for my server to do a full set of transcoding jobs on an hour of 4K video. I also know that a full res version shows up just fine, though the browser on my computer can struggle to handle that (maybe hit the download button and use a real video player if you must go full screen 4K). If I don't upload more stuff (except I probably will) my job queue should empty out some time tomorrow.

Added a "historical" channel for still relevant public domain stuff because why not. Using the support section for the first video queued up for that to point to where you can donate to The Internet Archive. It's still behind a few other videos (though what I uploaded does seem to stream fine without its initial transcode so maybe I'll hit the publish button early).

Initial transcoding jobs from the 4 videos uploaded last night are finally finished. Now it's working on the smaller resolution versions. This would probably go a lot faster if I had >1 core provisioned, but I don't.

Windows build of Typica on current development branch ended up with an .exe file 74KB smaller than the 1.9.0 release. Now <2MB. It's always nice when you can get more features in a smaller size without really trying.

The computer I use to do the Windows builds of Typica has gotten very bad at keeping track of the time and date while it's not in use. Probably a dead battery (I'd recognize it when I saw it, but it looks like I'd need to disassemble the thing pretty far). Obnoxious that all my certs are failing just because the computer thinks it's 2011 (thus before the validity period).
