The first things I do when I get a new PC. And all of them are getting harder to do in Windows 11; you've really got to dig down deep:
1. Change my date format to use a - as a date separator instead of / (which is the default for South Africa)
2. In File Explorer:
2.1 Untick Hide Extensions for Known File Types (this is one of the most dangerous things ever, and I cannot believe that Microsoft still insists on making it the default)
2.2 Show Hidden Files and Folders, and Untick Hide Protected Operating System Files (Yes, I really really really do expect an app designed for browsing my file system to show me ALL files on my file system)
2.3 Show the Full Path in the title bar (I have many directories with the same names in vastly different locations and with different purposes, so it's nice to know exactly which one I'm looking at)
In other news, new PC, yay! 
Unfortunately it must still be Windows for work reasons. Maybe my next one won't.

This is hugely positive news for all who use Windows VST plugins on Linux through WINE!! This may be the biggest news in quite a while!!!
In other news, the yabridge Wayland Wine problems for using Wine versions higher than v9.21 are nearly fixed too!
Things are about to get usable again for Linux users with Windows plugins!!

#juce has just added a patch that defaults to software rendering when plugins are running in #wine ending the direct2d black window issue. hopefully this fixes #synthv2 and #voisona when running under linux. https://forum.juce.VocaLounge

Rusty_Shackleford/FitCheck: A bash and powershell wrapper for FFmpeg that scales CRF to hit a specific size limit
codeberg.org/Rusty_Shackleford…
Works anywhere FFmpeg is available
Video demonstration in readme
#bash #powershell #wrapper #script #loops #codeberg #git #unlicense #video #editing #encoding #transcoding #tool #utility #fediverse #cdn #peertube #windows #linux #macos #ffmpeg #bitrate #videoediting #render
They finally did it. Microsoft has successfully over-engineered a text editor into a threat vector.
This CVE is an 8.8 severity RCE in Notepad of all things lmao.
Apparently, the "innovation" of adding markdown support came with the ability of launching unverified protocols that load and execute remote files.
We have reached a point where the simple act of opening a .md file in a native utility can compromise your system. Is nothing safe anymore? 😭
