Welp, looks like #OpenWrt is now also using "AI". For now it's code reviews at least.

Found out today that our national broadcaster #SVT is streaming their linear TV channels in 1080p50 (vs 720p50 on terrestrial and cable networks) and in #AV1!

For those interested in numbers:

• 30 multiplexes of 8 MHz, 256-QAM, with bitrate of 50.69 Mbps each
• 1 multiplex of 8 MHz, 64-QAM, with bitrate of 38.01 Mbps

Across all of those, approx 574 Mbps is wasted. That means you can drop 11 out of 31 multiplexes without any changes in channel bitrates. This would free up 88 MHz for e.g. cable internet use.

Out of curiosity captured transport streams of my cable TV provider (who also does internet over DOCSIS), and it's so sad. You can see the effect of TV channels going away, and the space they previously occupied remaining unused.

So much stuffing that could've otherwise been used for either better video bitrate or (after consolidating muxes) more DOCSIS channels.

Here's a screenshot of the worst offender. How would you like 36 megabits of *nothing*?

If you want something to watch or have in the background for your New Year's Eve, there's Flappy New Year: a fun all-day-long #charity #furry live stream by Adler, Blazen and the gang, raising money for Give Kids the World! This is their eighth year, and this year they have a space station theme. If you can't find any aluminium foil in grocery stores near you, this is probably why :D

Replacing a bunch of expiring tokens today, made me think of this :D

#Kobo Clara BW doesn't support 5 GHz DFS channels despite the regulatory domain allowing for it. Wish me luck to reach anyone knowledgeable about the firmware internals. So far it's two human robots parroting things like "clear Wi-Fi settings", "rename your SSID" etc.
