My activities for the month of stardate 20576 are/is

[Smucky]

Well I guess "appliance repair month" is still going on.

Now it is the bath tub faucet leaking.

Not the parts that are under any pressure. Just some weird mixing tube (circled in red) that directs the hot and cold water to the spout. It is braided stainless steel, and leaking The pic above was from this morning after running a fan on it over night. Probably been leaking for many months.

The whole build of that bathroom looks sketchy to me. I'm surprised you don't have any humidity damage on the wood.

At least you don't have what they have in the UK, a wall to wall carpet in their bathrooms.

heh, it is a mobile home so they like their 2x3's instead of 2x4's. The decorative medium density fiber board that covers this area was removed before pictures taken. So this is all hidden from view

For today went and picked up a pressure washer from a relative's house. He said I could have it since it doesn't run anymore. Been meaning to pick it up for a few years now.


Also a weird cat there with weird colored eyes.

Why does a cat come to you while they never come to me for either love or money. I really need a cat here, rodent problems and birds pranking around. Need a cat that keeps the birds in check.

Going to mow. And then work on the pressure washer. And then might work on the tractor.

Man gay day

I need to figure out hosting for my mobile app vibe coded ideas. But what ever hosting I get, I should probably pay for with a business bank account. So that means I should probably get a business bank account
But that means I should also probably get an LLC. And I also got to figure out which state to put my LLC in. But I also got to figure out what to name my LLC.
Really leaning on "SHITsoft" and have a mascot and logo of a shih tzu dog and shiitake mushrooms

But I dunno

Basically did none of that yesterday, so still need to do it. plus need to balance bank accounts, etc just to see how much money I got before I start dropping hundreds on domain registration and llc fees, etc. But hate looking into my bank accounts because it is just a reminder of the impending doom

What are you supposed to do with your LLC? Shitsoft? You poop obsession is starting to infest your professional life as well.

Nothing wrong with an LLC but maybe you should think about a business plan that doesn't involve poop. If you like poop, I already suggested that you get one of those trucks and you go around suck poop for money.

Ran by home depot and got the plumbing parts I needed. Brought the wife with me so the bill was $72 instead of $30

Also noticed that they still have some CFLs for sell. Though very generic. Thought they weren't made anymore

[Smucky]

But for right now, bootlegging Winne the Pooh stuff. Also discovered a tool for automatically finding the right encoder values to save as much space without effecting quality ab-av1 though you need a version of ffmpeg with libvmaf support which will probably never be included in debian due to non-free parts. But there are static builds here

Basically run it like:

Code: Select all

ab-av1 auto-encode -i in_file.mkv  --encoder libsvtav1 --preset 8 --acodec libopus --enc "b:a=96k" --min-vmaf 95  -o out_file.mkv

The important part is the '--min-vmaf 95' which defines how much of an allowed difference between the original and the new encode.

Well it took all day, but now that it is almost daylight, I have figured out an LLC name
And no, I'm not telling.
