#VLC #protip: have a series of videos with subtitles, but the default subtitle track played by VLC isn't the one you want? You can find how VLC has labeled the track under "Tools" > "Codec Information" from the main menu bar, but here it's called a stream. Then, you can set the track to use in Advanced Settings under "Input / Codecs". The option to use is "Subtitle Track ID" (not "Subtitle Track"): just input the number of your desired track from the "Codec Information" list.

(I don't know why VLC has inconsistent naming for these things. It's even named differently between the GUI labels and the mouse-over text.)

I downloaded it, but I don't think I ever got it to work. Won't work with a current version of #Blender since they dropped the game engine.

I'm still trolling through my backups. Going to post some more stuff I found that's fun or interesting. I'll keep it to one thread.

A webcomic about robots who work in an office that I used to like. Since I've been working, I think the jokes will be more relatable.

Haven't been keeping up with #Chef for automation, but they seem to have doubled down on "enterprise solutions" from was a fairly comprehensible agent-based configuration management tool.
