Ubuntu: Unattended Encrypted Incremental Backup to Amazon S3#AmazonAWS#Markdown

Introduction

For this task we are going to configure a duplicity script wrapper. Unregarded of the installation instructions it's expected that you have already signed up for an Amazon account and know how to use their services.

Requirements

  • Ubuntu server
  • duplicity, Git, GnuPG
  • MySQL

Use ffmpeg and mp4box to prepare DASH-AVC/264 v1.0 VoD
See my DASH-IF presentation from October, 2014:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/misc.meltymedia/dash-if-reveal/index.html#/
1. encode multiple bitrates with keyframe alignment:
ffmpeg -i ~/Movies/5D2_Portrait.MOV -s 1280x720 -c:v libx264 -b:v 1450k -bf 2 \
-g 90 -sc_threshold 0 -c:a aac -strict experimental -b:a 96k -ar 32000 out.mp4
My input was 30 fps = 3000 ms. If it were 29.97, then a GOP size of 90 frames will yield a base segment
size of 3003 milliseconds. You can make the segment size some multiple of this, e.g.: 6006, 9009, 12012.

I want to use Nix for development, but... -- answers to common concerns about Nix

Nix seems perfect for developers - until I try to use it...

Want to use Nix for development but you're not sure how? Concerned about the fluidity of nixpkgs channels or not being able to easily install arbitrary package versions?

When I first heard about Nix it seemed like the perfect tool for a developer. When I tried to actually use it for developing and deploying web apps, though, the pieces just didn't seem to add up.
