Compare two PDFs using ImageMagick - provides a visual comaprison and a perceptual hash comparison (numerical)

PDF tools for comparing PDFs visually (overlaying two PDFs to see changed areas) and using a perceptual hash (numerical value indicating visual difference between the two files).

Useful for command line review of PDFs and de-duplication. Configure git to use these tools for better PDF history / comparison in git.

These scripts require imagemagick and poppler. Both installed from homebrew.


Setup git to use a custom diff using:

Because cross-compiling binaries for Windows is easier than building natively

Because cross-compiling binaries for Windows is easier than building natively

I want Microsoft to do better, want Windows to be a decent development platform-and yet, I constantly see Microsoft playing the open source game: advertising how open-source and developer friendly they are - only to crush developers under the heel of the corporate behemoth's boot.

The people who work at Microsoft are amazing, kind, talented individuals. This is aimed at the company's leadership, who I feel has on many occassions crushed myself and other developers under. It's a plea for help.

The source of truth for the 'open source' C#, C++, Rust, and other Windows SDKs is proprietary

You probably haven't heard of it before, but if you've ever used win32 API bindings in C#, C++, Rust, or other languages, odds are they were generated from a repository called microsoft/win32metadata.

VP9 Encode Guide (ffmpeg, libvpx-vp9, vpxenc)

WIP

VP9 encode is very very slow ?
Yes and no. Unlike x265 use all core to speed up encode time, the low threaded libvpx-vp9 use for me 4 core of my Ryzen 3900X. Encode 4 video in the same time -> x4 "boost".

Quality (Unconstrained)

Force dynamic bitrate with b:v 0
Set quality level with -crf <quality level> is a integer (0 to 63)
libvpx use -deadline and ffmpeg -quality need to be set to good.

convert a qcow2 vm to a VirtualBox vm format

VirtualBox command-line interface (VBoxManage) provides an easy way to convert raw disk image to the VDI/VMDK format and otherwise.

Let's assume that we have raw image of the sdb device:

$ sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=./sdb.raw

To use it with VirtualBox we need to convert it to the VDI format:

$ VBoxManage convertdd sdb.raw sdb.vdi --format VDI
