GitHub-like WebUI for Subversion

GitHub-like WebUI for Subversion - Lemmy.World

I already fear that this may be a bit too specific since it’s a bit of a niche need, but here goes: I’m hosting several Subversion repositories for my indie projects. So far, I just did the plumbing by hand and wrote Apache configs (hosting via mod_dav_svn). But if I look at all those shiny tools Git users can wield, I really wish for something with a sleek UI and the option to create repositories, manage users and display source and markdown that worked with Subversion. I know (and have tried): * Gitea [https://about.gitea.com/] - What I want, except Gitea is for… Git and I do Subversion. Gitea manages users, created repositories and displays their contents in a clean, useful way. * VisualSVN Server [https://www.visualsvn.com/server/] - This would be what I’m looking for (WebUI [https://www.visualsvn.com/server/features/svn-web-interface/]), but it is Windows-only (I don’t get it, who in their right mind hosts development stuff on a Windows clunker?) * Redmine [https://www.redmine.org/] - It’s a Ruby on Rails project. With the Zenmine theme [https://bestredminetheme.com/zenmine-redmine-theme/], it almost looks like GitHub, but Redmine shies away from repository management and focuses more on project/issue management. * Trac [https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracSubversion] - A bug tracker with Subversion browser and timeline, written in Python. While aforementioned part is great, it can also (barely) manage users and permissions for a repository using an add-in. As well as various abandoned PHP projects with grotesque UIs and which either never fully worked or broke somewhere along the road from PHP 5 to PHP 8. Can anyone recommend a decent WebUI for Subversion that would let me create repositories, manage users and view repository contents in the browser? Eye candy preferred, as I’m already doing everything I need via CLI tools and WebSVN [https://github.com/websvnphp/websvn].

Banding: aom-av1-lavish vs. svt-av1-psy - how to estimate noise level?

Banding: aom-av1-lavish vs. svt-av1-psy - how to estimate noise level? - Lemmy.World

I’m planning to encode some of my blu-ray discs to AV1 with maximum quality in mind. After thinking I had a good set of settings nailed down, I got sensitized to the topic of banding and found that in certain frames, my encodes were suffering from it quite badly. I also found the biggest magnet for banding in an animated show: the very first episodes of “The Eminence in Shadow” shows a purple blanket that has crazy banding even at 10-bit with high bit rates. Here’s aom-av1-lavish, the “opmox mainline merge” branch as of November, 14th, 2023 with --arnr-strength=0 --enable-dnl-denoising=0 --denoise-noise-level=1 [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/dd1b9447-4224-4c7b-b9e2-92f817a37ade.png] After seeing that another (x265) encode did it much better and even SVT-AV1 with mostly default settings performed well (see further down), I changed to --arnr-strength=1 --enable-dnl-denoising=0 --denoise-noise-level=6 and what a difference: [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ee426d24-c9a7-4b2d-b4ee-0c742bcb07c7.png] Finally, this is the result of SVT-AV1-psy as of January, 22nd, 2024. The settings are --film-grain 6 --film-grain-denoise 0: [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/36e57d8b-ec48-44c2-9f81-0453d20f5bde.png] So how does one estimate a video’s noise / grain level? Do I just develop a feel for which setting corresponds to what look? That might involve quite a bunch of failed encodes, however.
