@mynameistillian I have become so wary of communists for this exact reason. So many are just like "the cops are terrible, prison is terrible, politicians are terrible. but they'd all be great if me and my friends controlled them."
And then different groups of communists hate each other and want to lock each other up.
The anarchist perspective of "maybe nobody should have this power over others" is much comfier to me.
@0xabad1dea Yeah so it's more like 10% degraded service rather than 10% downtime.
Still, what the actual fuck.
@0xabad1dea They're so close to achieving zero nines.
How do you even manage 90% uptime over 90 days?? 9 full days of downtime??
My homelab has been subjected to frequent power outages due to the house getting a bunch of electrical work & renovations done, and I've still managed at least 97%.
@kkarhan Yeah. Funnily enough only previous attemp I could find at stereoscopic video encoding was MVC, which is an extension to h264.
It'd be so cool if AV1 pursued this! But it's still a pretty niche use case so I'm sure it's not a priority for them.
Hopefully in like 4 years this tech is useable lol
Ok even compiling ffmpeg and x265 from source, I am unable to successfully transcode stereoscopic video on a round trip through MV-HEVC. The encode *seems* to work (with some warnings), but I have no way to test it. Decoding fails with a bunch of errors.
Every single person online I can find who got it to work was using macOS. It seems it might only be possible on Apple hardware?
NvEnc allegedly has support but with zero documentation. Unclear even what GPUs support it.
I'm glad that *somebody* is working on a video codec that's optimised for stereoscopic video, but wow I hate the way that Apple has made MV-HEVC quasi-proprietary.
