Easiest solution, use fish instead of bash! Default fish keybindings will allow you to just type . . or name a directory similar to how you could do with Zoxide.

Also, wait until you find about pushd and popd ;)

I used Linux Libre kernel for a bit - honestly surprised at how well most things still worked? The biggest downside seems to be Wi-Fi drivers - except for that one Atheros card, none of the modern Wi-Fi cards will work without Linux firmware blobs

It keeps folder structure now? I remember when I tried to import my Digikam/Piwigo based collection, it would dump it all into 1 album flattening the hierarchy if directories.IIRC this was a technical decision on Immich choosing to use a list of albums vs a folder hierarchy. I’ll need to give it another try if it’s changed

Wait isn’t intuitive the one that tipped over last time as well?

I’m sure it doesn’t help that Nvidia also runs Geforce Now - the higher they price their cards the more it can make their streaming GPU rental solution look like a better deal by comparison… (also since nobody can compete against GFN as Nvidia controls the pricing there as well and also blocks use of Geforce cards in datacenters).

You can also mux it into the same file if you prefer embedding it into the same file (in FFmpeg, add an extra -i before the lavfi, do -c:v copy -c:a copy, -map 0, -map 1:s). I can post a more complete command if you’re interested.

Finally one I can help with.

CBC Gem (prevously watch.cbc.ca) uses the 608 closed caption format in their streams instead of subtitles. (Closed captions being part of ATSC for TV streams).

FFmpeg can extract closed captions and convert them to SRT (subrip) or ASS (Substation Alpha) formats (the latter also converting colors and positions better).

Command is as follows ffmpeg -f lavfi -i "movie='input.mp4'[out0+subcc]" -map s "output.ssa"

Replace the input and output correspondingly.

(Edit: this assumes you used yt-dip or youtube-dl to do the download)

The desktop equivalent is “What happened to all my PCIe expansion slots?!”

(Note: processor PCIe lane count has gone up, used to be like 16 from CPU, 4 from chipset, since a GPU didn’t need an x1x6 in terms of bandwidth - see SLI/crossfire. These days, it’s just that many lanes go to M.2, with each using up to 4 lanes - vs having 6 SATA driven off the chooser)
