Re: Random quotes
A wise person once said:
I expect the next time I open my eyes I see something new.
Or at least something different.
Or the same.
Then I decide if I'm dead or not.
He lived forever.
Remember?

FFmpeg: slow down audio+video.
SWIM honestly had to admit that "Peppa Pig" episodes freak them out: The episodes "feel" way tooo fast and without any air to breathe in between. So I offered SWIM this ffmpeg-recipe to slow things down: $ ffmpeg -i peppa-Science_Museum.mp4 \ -filter_complex "[0:v]setpts=1.2...

md5deep: Integrity check
If you'd like to verify if all files in an md5deep-manifest-file are present and okay, use the "audit" mode:
If all files are okay, it will output nothing (<silence>). It should only list/show the entries that are erroneous.
Code: Select all
$ md5deep -a MANIFEST.md5deep
