Just lighter things..

Each time you light your lighter,
your lighter gets lighter.
When your lighter gets too light,
it won’t light.

I can’t go because of the Corona Virus — an alternative

I can’t go because of the Corona Virus…

• Whiny
• Cranky
• Cantankerous
• Perverse
• Boring
• Weak
• Feeble

I’ve sworn an oath of solitude til the blight is purged from these lands!

• Heroic
• Valiant
• Powerful
• They will assume you have a sword
• Impossible to check if you really have a sword because of Corona Virus

ffmpeg: Remove audio from several videos while preserving quality

To create audio-less copies of all the .mp4 videos in a folder, execute the following:

find . -type f -name "*.mp4" -exec bash -c 'FILE="$1"; ffmpeg -i "${FILE}" -c copy -an "${FILE%.mp4}.ns.mp4";' _ '{}' \;

For a single file, the command would be:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -an output.mp4

Making high quality GIF from video in Ubuntu 20.04LTS

First install gif.ski using snap.

snap install gifski;

Then use ffmpeg to break down your video to frames:

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 frame%05d.png;

Finally use gif.ski to create your gif from the frames:

gifski -o clip.gif frame*.png;

Delete the frames if you do not need them, they will be taking a lot of space.
