<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flattr" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flattr</a> figured out some parts of this. Notably, you picked your own total monthly donation, and then clicked a button on participating sites to allocate a fraction of your total to them. AFAICT it worked as advertised, but raised new issues with donation behavior. E.g. I obviously like curl every month, so should I click its button monthly? Twice monthly? If I am a developer of some other useful OSS software, should I click curl's button and the curl devs click my button? Does the money just slosh around between merchant-customers? Is that good?</p>

<p>Yeah, I play a VHS tape and capture the whole thing. Maybe I should be using a scene detector to split files on camera cuts, which would be roughly correct for home movies (but not for TV shows).</p>

<p>That's where I am now. I'd like to optimize out the retyping and duplication of time strings.<p>I want the player ui (I'm using mpv) to have a command that:<p>1. Remembers the last end time to use as this chapter's start time<p>2. Gets the current time to use as chapter-end.<p>3. Accepts the name (e.g. 'chapter1').<p>4. Runs the ffmpeg copy command.<p>Perhaps mpv+lua can already handle this. I see commands for setting a loop range and for calling a subprocess. Not sure how I'd input the chapter name. Maybe I'll have an LLM name the chapters for me :)</p>

<p>Can you recommend a tool for dicing up 2h digitizations of VHS tapes? I want to play the 2h video, seek around easily, mark 'chapters' and give them filenames, then do a no-transcode rough cut extraction of each chapter into its own video.</p>

If the build and tests Just Work, etc., we should praise that project in a way that 
1) encourages helpers to pick it since they'll have a good experience, and 
2) provides a good example for other projects to follow.</p>

<p>I threw something together to address that goal. It was really hard to render obsidian-md into html that looked about the same. I started with general MD libs, then ultimately used obsidian-html. Obsidian's MD is not standard at all, though I'm not sure <i>any</i> MD is fully specified since there are so many edge cases.<p>Sample output (should be viewable since I put `#public` at top of the document):

I want a powerful tag/group mechanism that I can use for many possible workflows.<p>The list under 'search' says 'Review  40193', clearly telling me I have that many pics to review. Clicking on it says:<p>No pictures found
Try again using other filters or keywords. In case pictures you expect are missing, please rescan your library and wait until indexing has been completed. Non-photographic and low-quality images require a review before they appear in search results<p>(And I had to disable some user-select:none styles to copy paste that)</p>
