# Nginx can serve FLV/MP4 files by pseudo-streaming way without any specific media-server software. 
# To do the custom build we use 2 modules: --with-http_secure_link_module --with-http_flv_module
# This module "secure-link" helps you to protect links from stealing away.

Quick and easy way of making Chrome send bittorrent magnet links to a remote Transmission instance using its API on Ubuntu with xdg. This method does not require modifying any system files or xdg's scripts, whereas most of the examples I found on the Internet did require such hacks.

Chrome does not handle default applications, instead relying on the OS to manage that. The default handler in Ubuntu is xdg, which maps the MIME type to the default application. Extra tooling is required because xdg requires a registered desktop file, so you can't simply give it a command to run.

Steps:

1. Install the shell script transmission-remote-magnet ideally in /usr/local/bin: ln -s ~/src/transmission-remote-magnet.bash transmission-remote-magnet

2. Install the desktop file, which is required for xdg to work and will likely require sudo: desktop-file-install ./transmission-remote-magnet.desktop

See my DASH-IF presentation from October, 2014:

1. encode multiple bitrates with keyframe alignment:
   ffmpeg -i ~/Movies/5D2_Portrait.MOV -s 1280x720 -c:v libx264 -b:v 1450k -bf 2 \
     -g 90 -sc_threshold 0 -c:a aac -strict experimental -b:a 96k -ar 32000 out.mp4

   My input was 30 fps = 3000 ms. If it were 29.97, then a GOP size of 90 frames will yield a base segment
   size of 3003 milliseconds. You can make the segment size some multiple of this, e.g.: 6006, 9009, 12012.

The following files show an example of how to create subdomains for onion site hidden services. (This hasn't been tested for hidden services for anything other than HTTP/HTTPS.)

(You might also want to read our blog post about ProPublica’s Tor hidden service, including a tutorial and notes on running a hidden service: https://www.propublica.org/nerds/item/a-more-secure-and-anonymous-propublica-using-tor-hidden-services )

In general, this works (maybe just in recent Tor clients) because Tor will handle the connection to www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.onion as a connection to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.onion. The encapsulated HTTP/HTTPS connection contains the subdomain in the Host: header (and in the case of HTTPS, the SNI
