🆕 blog! “HDR on a Pioneer VSX-933”

I bloody hate hardware manufacturers. I wanted to use HDR on my PlayStation 5. The console supports it, my TV supports it, my amp supports it, my cables support it. Yet it wasn't working. I tried everything - updating firmware, replacing cables, and even reading the manual. Nothing. And then I stumbled on the answer […]

@Edent that's bizarre. Can I ask if you are using the receiver to do any image processing? I've a Yamaha and its set to just pass through whatever video signal it gets. And it does. Which why I was just wondering if that (a processing step) was why you had to do the enhanced thing.

@drs1969 No. It is set not to do anything.
But the PS5 source communicates with the Amp (sink) to see what it supports. Otherwise it might send something which can't be displayed.

One of the best HTTP clients is the open source tool curl. With ongoing development and continuously new updates, it is worth getting everything out of this powerful tool!

And as a bonus: @bagder is friendly developer, and also great to follow here on Mastodon! So give the article a go and follow Daniel 😉

This is the first version of the cheat sheet, with some practical examples. Feedback is very welcome, and boosts as well 🚀

🆕 blog! “Server-Side Rendering of Embedded Markdown Code Snippets in WordPress”

Because I'm a grumpy old man, I don't use Gutenberg or Block themes on my WordPress. Instead, I write everything in Markdown. When I write code snippets in Markdown, they look like this: ```php $a = 1; echo $a; if ($a < 5) { // Do Something return thing( $a, true …

I was asked to “patch up” a group's Mastodon server that was still running an unpatched version 4.0.x.

When I was done, they asked me how I did it so quickly. Here is a :

– back up DB
– check out v4.1.15
– follow these upgrade notes: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.1.0 (!)
– test

– back up DB
– check out v4.2.8 (latest)
– follow these upgrade notes: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.2.0 (!)
– test

→ Follow upgrade notes for each version x.y.0, or you will miss migrations!

#HowTo convert DTS to AAC (and save space) thru #Linux with #FFMPEG

› Open you #MKV file with #MKVToolNix
› Select only the audio track you want and run multiplexing
› You have normally your MKA file now
› ffmpeg -i input.mka -acodec aac -vn output.m4a

I've gone from 4GB to 400MB 🤓 (could be useful)

You can now "remerge" this new audio track with the previous MKV
