Rui CarmoThere is relatively little of note this week, since work creeped into a couple of evenings and I tend to finish the days too tired to do anything too contrived–plus I’ve been lacking inspiration to write.
Still, a couple of things came to pass:
- I managed to install Proxmox on the Terramaster NAS I got a couple of weeks ago. I am still trying to scrounge together enough cash to buy new NAS disks and rotate the old ones into this box, but I have a decent draft of my notes and some sort of review should be up soon.
- Popped over to Vodafone Portugal to take part in an internal event (I was invited to sit on a panel to discuss ethical uses of AI), which was quite fun.
I need to get out more. Until that happens, I have a lot of housekeeping to do–for instance, I spent a while canvassing my video archives and converting a few laggard DVD rips into H.265 to try to free up space on my Synology NAS.
Although I had built a Docker container to do this in the past, it’s pretty sobering to realize that my M2 Pro Mac Mini can recompress movies with 5.1 audio at upwards of 300fps (I’m using HandBrake’s VideoToolbox profile and Apple’s audio encoders).
Crazy times.
