A set of instructions on how to fix the harfbuzz + Infinality issue and restoring good-looking, Infinality-like font rendering.

Disclaimer: Please follow this guide being aware of the fact that I'm not an expert regarding the things outlined below, however I made my best attempt. A few people in IRC confirmed it worked for them and the results looked acceptable.

Attention: After following all the steps run gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache as root, this prevents various gdk-related bugs that have been reported in the last few hours. Symptoms are varied, and for Cinnamon the DE fails to start entirely while for XFCE the icon theme seemingly can't be changed anymore etc.

Check the gist's comments for any further tips and instructions, especially if you are running into problems!

My Python script to sort file based on its MIME type into separate folders.
# This is a Python script that let you arrange
# files into a folder for each extension. Actually
# I lied, this script is not about file extension
# but about a file's mime type. So, in case there
# are files that has no extension this script can
# predict what the file's extension could be.
# However, the only requirement is that file need
# to be able to be read by the computer's OS. For
# example image files usually has no problem with
# this script also with other media files. But,

Ligature fonts for atom

Thanks to this blog post for the idea:
https://medium.com/@docodemore/an-alternative-to-operator-mono-font-6e5d040e1c7e
This is a modified version of that using `Script12 BT` instead of `flottflott`
and updated for the changes in Atom's selector syntax.

This gist will help you to compile ffmpeg with NVENC, QSV, VAAPI, VDPAU, and OpenCL support.

Compilation FFMpeg / NVENC + NVRESIZE + QSV + VAAPI + VDPAU + OpenCL

This gist will help you to compile ffmpeg with NVENC, QSV, VAAPI, VDPAU, and OpenCL support.

nVidia nvresize patch is outdated and not more compatible to the latest version of FFmpeg, so it's not included in this documentation.

(even if I've passed a lot of time at trying to make it compile... without any success)

Please don't rely on this page: https://developer.nvidia.com/ffmpeg, the implementation is a hack and was never been added to the main FFmpeg tree.

This gist will show you how to launch multiple ffmpeg instances with xargs, very useful for NVIDIA NVENC based encoding where standard GPUs limit the maximum simultaneous encode sessions to two.

Spawning multiple ffmpeg processes with xargs:

On standard NVIDIA GPUs (Not the Quadros and Tesla lines), NVENC encodes are limited to two simultaneous sessions. The sample below illustrates how to pass a list of AVI files to ffmpeg and encode them to HEVC on two encode sessions:

$ find Videos/ -type f -name \*.avi -print | sed 's/.avi$//' |\
  xargs -n 1 -I@ -P 2 ffmpeg -i "@.avi" -c:a aac -c:v hevc_nvenc "@.mp4"

This will find all files with the ending .avi in the directory Videos/ and transcode them into HEVC/H265+AAC files with the ending .mp4. The noteworthy part here is the -P 2 to xargs, which starts up to two processes in parallel.
