** mkv no more **
My previous post included a video. I made that video with OBS which outputs .mkv video files.

I wanted to do my best to ensure that folks with a variety of devices and browsers would be able to watch the video if they wanted to, so, I converted it into a few different formats.

Here’s the bash script I wrote to do that. It relies on ffmpeg.

** Skwaking Week Notes **
I’d never thought about adding playlists to my website, but then I did it and now I wanna add more. While I wait to put together another playlist, here’s the song that I’m listening to right now — Lady Lamb’s“Crane Your Neck.”

We had a few big snows, so the kids spent extra time at home and we’ve done a fair bit of sledding and shoveling. There was a bunch of frozen rain after one of the snow storms, so the snow had a crunch … ⌘ Read more

Trump orders justice department to fire all US attorneys appointed by Biden
Hugo Lowell ,  Staff Writer  -  The Guardian (U.K.)

_Stephan: The United States is no longer going to have a fair and legitimate legal system. The FBI has been corrupted into a personal internal army to pursue what “king” Trump wants pursued, and the lawyers of DOJ that are ethical men and women are resigning or, as this article describes, being fired.

Silence of the Cowards: The Former Republican Party
John B. Alexander,  Commentator  -

_Stephan: I completely agree with what John Alexander says here. What stands out for me more than anything else in the coup we are undergoing is the spinelessness and lack of ethics of the entire Republican Party. We have an election coming in 2026 – if criminal Trump hasn’t suspended or completely rigged elections, following Putin’s model. And, of course, you know that oligarchs led my … ⌘ Read more

Trump’s push for ‘efficiency’ may destroy the EPA. What does that mean for you?
Lylla Younes,  Senior Stadd  -  Grist
