Coding question:

You know how there are libraries in Java that let you load XML files, manipulate their contents via a model, then save them to a new file?

I want to do that with MKV, so that I can make edits to subtitle tracks (WITHOUT re-coding any media streams).

Anyone have any ideas please? I'm sure there must be something somewhere that can do this. I could research the full MKV format and write my own code, but frankly, it's a bit daunting.

Anyone on here have personal experience with heat-pump hot water tanks? Our HWT is overdue for replacement and one of the options I’m looking at is heat pump.

One concern I have is that they (apparently) cause the area where they’re placed to become colder (naturally, as they collect heat from the surrounding environment) which is a bit of worry since our basement is already a bit on the cool side and our oldest son lives down there.

Anyone else heard about the sourvereign, and alternative #DNS #TLD chn. ? There is a #Wikipedia article in Chinese. I am unsure if it is actually something actively pursued in #China to step up their #Internet #control game. Or if it was merely a financial asset to attract venture capital?

Would love some insights from more knowledable people.
