  1. A quotation from Carlyle

       The last quality, perseverance, I particularly respect: it is the very hinge of all virtues. — On looking over the world, the cause of nine parts in ten of the lamentable failures which occur in men’s undertakings & darken and degrade so much of their history, lies not in the want of talents or the will to use them, but in the vacillating and desultory mode of using them — in flying from object to object, in starting away at each little disgust, and thus applying the force which might conquer any one difficulty to a series of difficulties so large that no human force can conquer them.
       The smallest brook on earth, by continual running, has hollowed out for itself a considerable valley to flow in: the wildest tempest, by its occasional raging, over-turns a few cottages, uproots a few trees, and leaves after a short space no mark behind it. Commend me therefore to the Dutch virtue of perseverance! Without it all the rest are little better than fairy gold, which glitters in your purse, but when taken to the market proves to be — slate or cinders.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Letter (1822-03-15) to John Carlyle

  6. Das ist übrigens das erste Video, das ich mit #DavinciResolve für Social Media gemacht habe.

    Ganz hohles Gefühl im Bauch… nach vielen Jahren #Lightworks #NLE, das wegen einem seit über einem Jahr nicht behobenen Bug für mich nicht mehr schon lange nicht mehr richtig nutzbar ist. Ist das nun der Abschied?

    Also lerne ich einiges nochmal neu.

    Leider gibt's nicht so viele Optionen unter #Linux, was #Video angeht.

    Und nein, weder Kdenlive noch Blender spielen meine Footage überhaupt richtig ab auf meinem Rechner, ich hab das Thema hier ja bereits vor längerem mal totgeschlagen.

    (Liebe 2000%-Nerds: Wer jetzt #ffmpeg sagt, riskiert den atomaren Endzeit-Plonk. 🤪 )

    Die Hoffnung stirbt natürlich zuletzt, dass #LWKS nochmal die Kurve kriegt.

  7. CornerCut: The Ultimate Solution to Move Premiere Pro Projects to DaVinci Resolve Without XML Every video editor and conform artist knows the familiar dread of migrating a project from Adobe Premie...

  8. #Video editing going nuts…

    #Blackmagic has released their #DavinciResolve 21 #NLE… new feature includes an #AI face reshaper, and a #voice cloning AI that can imitate any original voice with just 10 minutes of audio training data.

    So, deep fakes within minutes? Easy with #Resolve.

    Don't know what to think of this. It's one of two professional NLEs for #Linux… and the other one, #Lightworks, is in a terrible state currently, hopefully it will survive.

  9. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    Let us therefore boldly face the life of strife, resolute to do our duty well and manfully; resolute to uphold righteousness by deed and by word; resolute to be both honest and brave, to serve high ideals, yet to use practical methods. Above all, let us shrink from no strife, moral or physical, within or without the nation, provided we are certain that the strife is justified, for it is only through strife, through hard and dangerous endeavor, that we shall ultimately win the goal of true national greatness.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Speech (1899-04-10), “The Strenuous Life,” Hamilton Club, Chicago

  13. Datacenter backup of backups

    • A datacenter backup is another building far, far away from the main one (other town / city / country)
    • You need it in case your main datacenter gets into a catastrophy (fire, earthquake, flood, tsunami, sinkhole, meteor strike)
    • The backup datacenter is smaller and has less processing power, but enough to keep demand / response flowing, fair to bit slow, but keep the site(s) on air
    •• backup datacenters are fully uitlized facilities, just smaller
    •• they need the same as the bullet points stated above
    •• they eat RAM HDDs SSDs et all, just at a smaller scale, but still large enough to hit the consumer market severely

    Conclusion

    We are fucked!

    • just kidding ;)

    No we are in heavy seas

    • observe

    History lesson

    • In the 1990's there was a disaster with electrolytic capacitors
    • They were produced with faulty dielectric materials
    • The elco's swelled up (toxic gasses forming) after a short while of working (days, weeks to some months) then exploded or teared open, causing shorts which fried components like chipset IC's CPU's 16550AF UARTS sound ICs etc
    • The capacitors were installed on hundreds of thousands of motherboards

    We survived

    • The computing world did not end!
    • Many of you reading need to look this event up
    • Most of the people who were fixing the boards have forgotten the event period

    We shall overcome the LLM component crises

    • Homo sapiens is a resilient species
    • Our intelligence will prevail

    Stay positive!

  18. 💾 Western Digital

    We are sold out

    WTF!??

    Why?

    • LLM's demolished the server HDD stock.

    Western Digital has run out of HDD capacity for 2026!

    Disaster for consumers small professionals & even large professionals!

    CEO Irving Tan has confirmed the company is running on fumes
    • Purchase orders from major customers & longterm agreements are reaching well into 2K27 & even 2K28!

    • Three years of desert level drought is close for consumers regarding WD HDD's

    Who is buying the HDD stock?

    Datacenters

    • LLM companies (what a set of ^&^#$&^)
    • Cloud & Hyperscale Data Centers
    •• many don't even have their datacenters built
    • These entities now give WD 90% of its revenue.
    • Consumer drives are just 10%.

    Enterprise demand is decimating supply

    • LLM training
    • inference logs
    • scraped STOLEN web data
    • backups
    •• these need many Petabytes of storage

    Even though GPUs get the headlines (whining gamers), HDDs are the crucial backbone of LLM boom
    •• They’re still the most cost-effective way to store Peta and Exabytes of data.

    Results

    • Consumer HDD supplies shrink
    • Enterprise long term agreements {LTA} are locking in multi-year volume + pricing
    • Price pressure is already happening (I feel them already)
    •• A puny 8TiB Western Digital consumer grade HDD was 108USD two years ago all they way to my country of SR / SA
    •• That same 8TiB HDD is now 196 USD to my country if and WHEN I can find it
    ••• I now find other brands easier but due to the higher quality they naturally cost more to begin with
    ••• Toshiba 7 Fujitsu are a few of those brands
    ••• I'd be better off getting a box of 24TiB server grade HDD's
    ••• In bulk ammounts, these cost less per TiB & they have many more IOPs that consumer HDDs

    DRAM and NAND

    We are all suffering from DRAM and NAND prices seeking amazingly horrific heights
    • Try to get a 64GiB to 512GiB microSD card for a normal price (feb 2K25 level)
    • While you are at it do the same with 64GiB to 256GiB USB sticks
    • You won't find them (needles in haystacks aer a snap to find in comparison)
    •• Large microSD cards are for now fairly normally priced (20% more) but I need small ones for my SBC computer(s) which need many OS distro's to boot from, to perform different functions with differen HATs

    Since septenmber 2K25 my beloved consumer HDDs are getting much more expensive also

    The LLM cycle of tsunami like destruction is not just 6nm IC's

    It’s about everything datacenter wise

    What is needed in a datacenter?

    • H2O O2 N2 CU
    •• you need water and those gasses to keep the natural flow of air running in your massive building which looks more like an Amazon storage facility than a computer server building.
    • sand / grounds / realistate
    • steel and iron
    •• without those your facility can't even be build

    • AC \ DC {not our beloved metal band ;)}
    •• you need to power the servers, JBOD enclosures & HDDs, SSD enclosures to cache the HDDs, fibre optic backbones, CU cabling & rails, circuit breakers, switches
    • AC regulation
    •• AC regulation is a whole seperate topic which I'll touch briefly
    ••• I setup matrix UPS systems which take the AC from the grid, convert it to DC then make their own super stable PFC corrected AC for the server racks
    ••• This guarantees stable power on all rails in the datacenter
    • AC is also generated on our own AC generator matrix
    •• Some generators (in FIFO sequence) run concurrently with AC
    •• When AC grid failures occur these generators give power within a few seconds to the UPS matrix, which keep feeding the rails in the buildings
    •• The other generators spool up and stabilize fast keeping the datacenter running smoothly on power

    It’s about everything datacenter wise

    What is needed in a datacenter?

    • H2O O2 N2 CU
    •• you need water and those gasses to keep the natural flow of air running in your massive building which looks more like an Amazon storage facility than a computer server building.
    • sand / grounds / realistate
    • steel and iron
    •• without those your facility can't even be build

    • AC \ DC {not our beloved metal band ;)}
    •• you need to power the servers, JBOD enclosures & HDDs, SSD enclosures to cache the HDDs, fibre optic backbones, CU cabling & rails, circuit breakers, switches
    • AC regulation
    •• AC regulation is a whole seperate topic which I'll touch briefly
    ••• I setup matrix UPS systems which take the AC from the grid, convert it to DC then make their own super stable PFC corrected AC for the server racks
    ••• This guarantees stable power on all rails in the datacenter
    • AC is also generated on our own AC generator matrix
    •• Some generators (in FIFO sequence) run concurrently with AC
    •• When AC grid failures occur these generators give power within a few seconds to the UPS matrix, which keep feeding the rails in the buildings
    •• The other generators spool up and stabilize fast keeping the datacenter running smoothly on power

    We are sold out

    WTF!??

    Why?

    • LLM's demolished the server HDD stock.

    Western Digital has run out of HDD capacity for 2026!

    Disaster for consumers small professionals & even large professionals!

    CEO Irving Tan has confirmed the company is running on fumes
    • Purchase orders from major customers & longterm agreements are reaching well into 2K27 & even 2K28!

    • Three years of desert level drought is close for consumers regarding WD HDD's

    Who is buying the HDD stock?

    Datacenters

    • LLM companies (what a set of ^&^#$&^)
    • Cloud & Hyperscale Data Centers
    •• many don't even have their datacenters built
    • These entities now give WD 90% of its revenue.
    • Consumer drives are just 10%.

    Enterprise demand is decumating supply

    • LLM training
    • inference logs
    • scraped STOLEN web data
    • backups
    •• these need many Petabytes of storage

    Even though GPUs get the headlines (whining gamers), HDDs are the crucial backbone of LLM boom
    •• They’re still the most cost-effective way to store Peta and Exabytes of data.

    Results

    • Consumer HDD supplies shrink
    • Enterprise long term agreements {LTA} are locking in multi-year volume + pricing
    • Price pressure is already happening (I feel them already)

  30. I HATE when apps assign keyboard shortcuts nominally (which vary with keyboard locale) and not based on physical location, so I have to remap everything for my keyboard locale. And in some advanced apps, that's dozens if not hundreds of shortcuts.

    Example: #Resolve uses opt+number for targeting tracks, but Czech QWERTZ uses shift for numbers, so "opt-2" is actually "opt-ě" on the physical keyboard. #FCPX doesn't have this issue.

  31. A quotation from Abraham Lincoln

    Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
    Letter (1855-11-05) to Isham Reavis

  32. Relinking 4000 proxies in #Resolve took five hours. The same takes approximately 5 minutes with #FCPX on the same hardware.

  33. I've made a #Keyboardmaestro macro that allows me to get a transcribed clip from a timeline imported from #Resolve and match it back to the original multicam file in #FCPX :))

    30 keystrokes replaced by one!

    This would be impossible with Resolve itself as it's not as driven by keyboard shortcuts as FCP!
