  • The OTHER thing that could cause stuttering is if it needs to be transcoding and that transcode is happening slower than realtime (unlikely to be happening here).

    You’d look in the logs for a transcode log for this sort of thing:

    frame=  408 fps= 82 q=37.0 size=N/A time=00:00:15.51 bitrate=N/A speed= 3.1x

    if the speed drops below 1.0x, you’ll stutter.


  • I can’t think of a standalone gui app that does this (and a simple google search didn’t find one).
    If you have a gui desktop (gnome,kde,xfce,lxqt,enlightenment,budgie…) it will have a built in function in it’s settings to do this, or leverage one of the parent ones (ie budgie is based on gnome, lxqt on kde).
    If your custom environment is pared down to the point where you don’t have an equivalent to gnome-system-tools and don’t want to install it, you might have to just use date at the command line.







  • Deer are a point of division in the hunting community.
    I don’t know the rules for all the states, but I can highlight the different approaches different places have with just 2 examples.

    In Victoria, they only want to hunt deer “sustainably”, so they have recognised “Deer Habitats”.
    It’s also illegal to hunt them at night with a spotlight (the easiest method, they’ll literally stand still and look at the light) or use a thermal scope (which of course helps silhouette a naturally camouflaged animal), even during the day.

    In South Australia, we have shoot on sight laws - as in you’re legally obliged to attempt to humanely kill feral deer when possible.

    Kind of says it all, doesn’t it?



  • The coalition has multiple aims here.

    1. This is a political differentiator - they become the “Nuclear” party.
    2. Nuclear technologies create a wonderful wedge to split any green support along the “reduce carbon” and “anti radioactive” line.
    3. In a best case, if they started tomorrow, there would be AT LEAST a decade (more like 15 years) before the first Nuclear electricity got onto the grid, and in the meantime their fossil fuel backers get to BURN-BABY-BURN.

    And that’s before we get into all the other little thing, that are really just colouring around the edges, ie spending taxpayer money to build a new monopoly which the government can later privatise to their sponsors.

    One of the things that I haven’t seen any of the recent articles highlighting is how no investment body is willing to back the construction of nuclear power in Australia, so the government will have to 100% bankroll it with our taxes.
    Meanwhile, private equity are lining up to invest in wind, solar, batteries etc - just angling for subsidies because “why not?”.
    This ALONE should be indicative of most likely outcomes.




  • It’s definitely not worth using full price electricity to split hydrogen out of water, if your intention is to turn that hydrogen back into electricity through some method (fuel cell, internal combustion engine, steam turbine, whatever).

    But if the electricity was otherwise going to be discarded (as is currently the case practically daily in SA), that cost/benefit gets crazy.

    Wikipedia has 3 links indicating around 70% efficiency on the electrolysis.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_production#Electrolysis_of_water_–_green,_pink_or_yellow

    Let’s flip that around and pretend it’s only 30% efficient, because we need to turn it back into electricity afterwards, and rather than quibble about exact efficiencies/losses, I’d rather exaggerate the loss for a theoretical worst case.

    That’s still X amount of electricity saved for later use, that would have otherwise have just been switched off.
    And that’s especially useful when your primary source is not available (ie, solar in the middle of the night).








  • Purnell Real Estate principal Nick Purnell, who bought an apartment in Canberra as an investment property in 2020, said people will stop investing in property if negative gearing is abolished.

    Don’t threaten me with a good time.
    Investors, with their ability to outbid potential owner-occupiers are a significant component in the current rise in housing prices.
    Those rising house prices are DIRECTLY related to the raising rent prices.

    Negative gearing was implemented to achieve a change in the market, a large thumb on the scale by the government.
    Now it’s time to step back and reassess the market and figure out what we need to do to achieve our desired outcomes.

    Million dollar plus shoe boxes, whole suburbs dominated by short term rentals, people using the 15% equity on their 4 investment property to back a 5th in a giant house of cards gamble are NOT HELPING.



  • I agree and use Signal myself.
    But people like the extra features of WhatsApp like desktop/web clients with seamless history sync and all the other little things that WhatsApp provides.
    The average Joe doesn’t even think about security or privacy, they just know that the results of using WhatsApp are superior than using SMS.
    iMessage is a non starter everywhere out of the US, it just doesn’t have the market penetration.
    As an Australian, no one I know (many of whom own iPhones) talk about the blue-green bubble stuff.
    They recognise where the fault lies and simply don’t use the app.
