There's a *distinct* lack of #marmotodon in my timeline here. They were all over the place at Mount Rainier today, as usual.

Oooh, ffmpeg 9.0 starts adding SMPTE 2094-50 support. That's the new spec for being able to adaptively communicate HDR content in a way that can handle displays with varying levels of maximum brightness. ★ 1 To be less vague but without actually mentioning searchable names, one of the people is a former Googler dev who is well known for very long blog rants and has developed entertaining LLM opinions.

CineD just posted a review of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P (https://www.cined.com/dji-osmo-pocket-4p-lab-test-rolling-shut… ★ 5 I have a weakness for marmot.

Almost no new infrastructure needed, unlike the time I tried to do this in Ansible and felt lik… ★ 1 In any case, my general opinion of Kea from when I first set it up 3 or 4 years ago hasn't really changed at all. It's massively overengineered for what I need, but *still* isn't actually able to do what I want it to do without jumping th… The first of these is easy to fix, just add something like "reconnect-wait-time": 3000, "max-reconnect-tries": 3, to the `lease-database` block in `kea-dhcp4.conf`. That'll let it try reconnecting after a 3s delay, but it'… So, unless I'm misunderstanding things due to a migraine, the Kea DHCP server (as packaged by Ubuntu, using their default systemd config): 1. Doesn't attempt to reconnect if it loses its connection to its database (MySQL, Postgres, etc) 2.…
