No.122690
>>122599it's not really about "removing" because in the framebuffer backend there is no window system in the first place
but because of the abstraction used by my gui system, the program code doesn't know about this fact and still thinks it's in a window even though there isn't any

>>111607 >>118027Great work! Cute set of tools
ikachan is a great little booru browser. While it's nice that it lists tags alphabetically, as far as I could see it unfortunately omits the tag categories like Artist, Character, and Copyright (the first and most useful (imo) things I look for when browsing Danbooru, for example). Just a small thing, though, all the info is still there. That aside, it's quite a functional and convenient tool~
I got
ikatube to browse, but somehow couldn't get it to play. It's probably because I didn't use
ikafb+pwm-xft. I've ZERO confidence that I can use ikafb and
not bork my system lol
ikamp is great! This is something I'll be keeping for sure. Played with the config a bit and it looks nice. The new borderless option looks good. I likely don't have whatever compositor (probably
ikafb+pwm-xft) is needed to draw border around the window, but nothing wrong with rectangles! haha
Thanks for these, Chino-chan ^-^

just released a new version of ikamp with spectrogram support!
>>122961for ikatube you can use the same theme file included with the ikachan distribution (ikachan_colortheme_bo

i actually have worked on a gui theme editor for my programs, so you can use it once it is released, just need some polish
>>122992>as far as I could see it unfortunately omits the tag categories like Artist, Character, and Copyrightthis is unfortunately a limitation of some other boorus ikachan supports, like gelbooru, so they're not always available

>>123012Wonderful. Looks great, thanks for that ikamp update! I got the spectrogram working on my end and did some other small tweaks in the UI file to make it look pretty without being
too cluttered. Took a while, but I finally understand how to use it properly now.
>>123011 >>123014I actually figured out what my issue with ikatube was. It was in the .json file where I overlooked the default program was
mpv! My $PATH was all correct, but ikatube was looking for a program that just wasn't there. I've used VLC exclusively for
everything for the past 15+ years. I didn't even consider that it'd default to another program that I've never used haha
I usually use FreeTube on desktop and NewPipe on Android since they're privacy-focused YT front-ends, but this one works fine now. Nice to have some more fun tools~

>>128987I forgot to mention that one of the main things I'm hoping to eventually do is provide a seamless client to server interface. Basically, you can send off projects to a powerful encoding server that would spit out finished encodes in various formats. In other words; batch processing.
Right now the situation is you have to track down a bunch of stuff manually. The existing repos are a bit garbage. No one has properly collected all that stuff together and documented.
The core of this project is basically an IDE for video editing/scripting. In time I'll provide a GUI for common filters and an easy way for other people to do the same through python scripting. When I started this was basically a text editor with syntax highlighting + mpv to display the results in real time. Then I moved on to providing a GUI for ffmpeg and the codecs it supports.
So instead of loading a .VOB in one application. Splitting out chunks of it. Saving that as its own file. Importing it into my script. Editing it in another application. Saving the script. Opening that in ffmpeg and having it spit out an h.264/265/whatever encode. Which I open in yet another application for muxing. While doing a similar process separately for each audio track. Then another round of editing for subtitles in yet another application. Then muxing it all together. Then testing in mpv. I do most/all of it from one application.
As I said before ultimately my goal is to provide an all-in-one solution to mastering video and audio. With the recent changes in the Linux landscape like pipewire this is finally becoming possible without many hours of configuration to each individual system. Linux finally got something akin to Video for Windows in the last couple of years. So it's ready to take on the role Windows has been required to use for decades now. An application like this is badly needed for both sides of video before and after the editing step. Meaning it would be useful for making clean video to work with from traditional sources (IVTC/color correction/deblocking/lots of other common errors) and the final step before distro (encoding into different formats for distro/creating a true lossless master to store the video long term).
There are a lot of great applications for editing video already. But no one has really bothered to make an application for producing good sources to use within such applications. They all pale in comparison to the filtering you can do with the *synth scripting. I've noticed most "professionals" don't even bother with cleaning up video proper. Since the tools they use for editing are so badly lacking proper filtering.
I think if I work at this hard enough over the next year or so I might be able to turn it into a full time job. I plan to release it for free. But I feel like people would happily donate for something like this. I see so many people requesting fixes and features for applications like MeGUI, Staxrip, Vdub and things like DGIndex all of the time. Most of those haven't been touched in years now.
I'm kind of amazed that we're halfway through the 2020s and most of the serious video work is still being done in 20-35+ year old software. When I said "XP era" software before I was wrong. A lot of this stuff is Windows 98-era software. A lot of it is still 32-bit only!
It's a pipe dream. But if I had the money I'd love to make something like a modern Amiga system. Where my own Linux distro came pre-installed with a suite of video/audio editing software. It'd have some custom hardware to do stuff like rip raw data from Laserdiscs and a proper capture card to get at analog sources. It'd be powerful enough to do all the processing locally. But if the end user wanted they could also purchase a powerful server from us that they could offload the processing work to (or rent a server from us). It would be very useful for studios that process a lot of video and re-master old video for release on modern formats like BluRay or the web. If I could offer that I think I could turn it into a thriving business and compete with the existing players in the market. I'm not kidding when I say no one is offering this and hasn't since the late 80s-early 90s. Professional studios only very recently got away from analog formats and went all-digital. So the market is ripe for someone to swoop in and offering an all-in-one solution to these problems.
I plan to spend the next year or two working on this full time. I'm hopeful that my choice to use Qt won't come back to bite me in the ass. One of the reasons I picked it was the fact that I could build cross-platform GUI using python. Since python is what is used for modern *synth scripting. Similarly, I'm building it on Gentoo right now since python is used by portage. I've been building it on Gentoo and testing it on Arch, Fedora and Windows 10. I want to throw an Apple device into the mix but I can't afford one right now. I'm hoping one comes up on the used market for cheap soon.
Sorry to ramble.

>>133735>>133736Thank you. I don't want to treat it as something that I have to spend hours practising instead of just drawing for enjoyment - before I purchased my tablet I was drawing on paper and a friend linked me a website with drawing exercises that quickly sucked the fun out of it. I do intend to do some, although I'd rather learn by trying to emulate artists I like, and there are plenty of those.
For this picture I was just following some guides I found on Pixiv, although I do like his art style.

I've gotten into collecting encyclopedias and reference sets. With how suggestible LLMs are, I'm wary of the truth of things becoming increasingly murky and want to have something I can rely on as being authoritative and truthful. I've gotten quite a few so far. The plan is to digitize all of them into searchable PDFs so that I can essentially have one big reference set, encompassing multiple viewpoints. Having one of those RAG LLMs that can only pull info from files might also be neat.
My collection currently consists of:
- Encyclopedia Britannica (1989)
- Collier's Encyclopedia (1965)
- Funk & Wagnall's Encyclopedia (1989)
- The Volume Library (1911)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1963)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1976)
I'd like to be able to get a few more. The one's I'm looking at adding to the collection are:
- The Volume Library (~1960 - 2010)
- The Young Students Encyclopedia (1985)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1940)
- World Book Encyclopedia (2017)
Anything post-2021 is suspect given the rise of ChatGPT. Unfortunately, there's a big gap from 1990 to today. As you might imagine, that's due to the internet. To my knowledge, the only English language encyclopedia still in print is the World Book.
Beyond the encyclopedia's themselves, I'm also collecting their yearbooks, which summarize the events of a given year.
I'm not sure what I'll do with the encyclopedias once I get them all digitized. Keep my favorite and donate the rest? My hoarder tendencies would rather keep them all, but that's not totally realistic.
No.141360
>>141358hmmm well one problem with this is that you'll have a lot of decades-old outdated information
in particular one topic i'm investigating was famously covered quite badly by encyclopedias in the past, and tons of books and papers from the last thirty years have had to argue against the popular conception that's come down from 18th-19th century myths which are still treated as fact outside of specialized literature
i think it's a solid idea but you should definitely watch out, especially with those that are more than 4-5 decades old
No.141361
>>141360>you'll have a lot of decades-old outdated informationThat's certainly true, but it's also desirable in some circumstances. For example, an encyclopedia from 1989 is in theory going to have more information on the Soviet Union than an encyclopedia from the last 20 years simply by virtue of the Soviet Union being extant at the time of writing. I also think it's desirable to have viewpoints across time as a reference for how understandings may have changed.
