Even if that’s not your cup of tea, it has the option to save your notebook to a single sqlite file, so I take that as good enough proof it’ll work for your similar purposes as well.

… I thought that … nevermind, this is why I’m here.

The Elgato has a USB coming out of it and I thought that passing everything through it would allow the USB to feed/write the video stream without any other processing, I guess what I’ve really been after this whole time is more OBS tweaking.

The only thing you might want to do is go into the video settings and set it to use NVENC (I think you can do that on Linux) to offload the encoding to your GPU (which has dedicated encoding hardware) instead of your CPU.

I think this was a big missing piece for me.

For all my years in IT, I’ve never been an A/V nerd.>

The rollout already hit me and passed. I use Chrome at work with uBlock mostly because it’s mandated and I burnt through all the warnings and videos were starting to not play. I thought that was that, I was too lazy to fix it on my work PC but a day later uBlock updated and it hasn’t been an issue since.

Procrastinating wins again, I never took direct action. I don’t want to get too hopeful, but I think even Google is going to have more trouble with this than they anticipate

I wouldn’t say “no reason”.

I’m not gonna do a whole Vaush teardown here, but it’s amazing how he always seems to align himself against a lot of the other leftist YouTubers I have watched and respected for years.

His obsessive need to tout his “rightness” on all matters is extremely abrasive and off-putting. He likes to cite diversity of tactics as a reason for engaging in debate the way he does, but then also doesn’t respect anyone that can’t debate their position. I’ve read a lot of philosophy and political commentary over the years, I know what I believe, but if you put me up against him I’d crumble on the spot. I couldn’t debate to save my life, it’s a particular skill. Watching him angrily yell at other leftists is not furthering the points he thinks it is.

Being able to win a debate doesn’t make you right, and losing one doesn’t make you wrong. He’s just another pig in the mud.

I think the sooner the better. Something I’ve been mulling over for awhile now is the differences between Mastodon and Lemmy. Mastodon has growth issues (or not, depending on how you want to frame it) due to the type of social media it is. A lot of people that use Twitter are looking to follow particular voices in the chatter, or simply be where friends are. That’s a much steeper barrier for Mastodon to overcome. Lemmy on the other hand is just a place where conversation happens in general. People will come here for the content and the discourse. I know we’re all impatient wanting it to get back to that Reddit level, but it will happen in time. The stronger the foundation we build, the more tempting it will be for others to join.
