FFMpeg's playbook: Advanced encoding options with hardware-accelerated acceleration for both NVIDIA NVENC's and Intel's VAAPI-based hardware encoders in both ffmpeg and libav.

FFmpeg and libav's playbook: Advanced encoding options with hardware-based acceleration, NVIDIA's NVENC and Intel's VAAPI-based encoder.

Hello guys,

Continuing from this guide to building ffmpeg and libav with NVENC and VAAPI enabled, this snippet will cover advanced options that you can use with ffmpeg and libav on both NVENC and VAAPI hardware-based encoders.

For ffmpeg:

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.

I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.

Use Canary for development instead of Chrome stable

Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.

My lm_sensors config for the Nuvoton NCT6793D on my Asus Z170-Deluxe Motherboard. Haven't figured out the voltages yet. To get the nct6775 driver working with the monitor chip, you need to boot with acpi_enforce_resources=lax to ignore the ACPI address space conflict with the EFI.

stack hoogle

Introducing the stack hoogle feature!

With the release of hoogle5, we can now hoogle all local packages.

This let us implement stack hoogle, which is on the master branch of stack, but is not yet on a stack release. We'd like you to try it out before we do!

To upgrade to the latest stack from git, use:

Opera VPN behind the curtains is just a proxy, here's how it works

2023 update

ℹ️ Please note this research is from 2016 when Opera has first added their browser "VPN", even before the "Chinese deal" was closed. They have since introduced some real VPN apps but this below is not about them.

🕵️ Some folks also like to use this article to show a proof that the Opera browser is a spyware or that Opera sells all your data to 3rd parties or something like that. This article here doesn't say anything like that.


When setting up (that's immediately when user enables it in settings) Opera VPN sends few API requests to https://api.surfeasy.com to obtain credentials and proxy IPs, see below, also see The Oprah Proxy.

The browser then talks to a proxy de0.opera-proxy.net (when VPN location is set to Germany), it's IP address can only be resolved from within Opera when VPN is on, it's 185.108.219.42 (or similar, see below). It's an HTTP/S proxy which requires auth.

Thoughts on an InlineDoBind extension

Thoughts on an InlineDoBind extension

An expression beginning with a left arrow (<-) inside a do block statement is desugared to a monadic binding. This is syntactically a superset of existing Haskell, including extensions. It admits a clean notation that subsumes existing patterns and comes with few downsides.

Examples

do
  f (<- x) (<- y)
-- ===
