What is going wrong in the healthcare system? The film "Chronically Ignored" is guided by this main question, interweaving the perspectives of those affected, science, politics and pharmaceutical research.

It's one thing to hear about something. And it's another to see it.

There's no sugarcoating in this documentary. It's raw, and it's as real as it gets. But it's what needs to be done to raise awareness and to get the world to see what it's like to live with these chronic illnesses.

Handbrake alternative with VA-API support


Handbrake alternative with VA-API support

I recently switched to an AMD GPU and VA-API is the only option for hardware acceleration on linux that is viable. But Handbrake does not support it and it doesn't seem like it will in the foreseeable future, so I am looking for an alternative. Ideally it is just an ffmpeg GUI, but I did not find any that are:
- actually compatible with linux
- updated in the last 5 years
- have an option vor h264_vaapi or hevc_vaapi video codecs

Another workflow I thought about that is not working is transcoding the video, but copy all audio and subtitles and let handbrake handle that, however Handbrake has no option to just copy the video stream...

So far I have tried:
- ffmpeg_batch: wouldn't use my local version of ffmpeg, because of some path error, only works through wine
- qwinff: got it building, but no VA-API codec, and no mkv output support (over 10 years old)
- Shutter Encoder: only works through wine, font problems, no va-api support
- Avidemux: takes forever to open a video clip, more of a video editor, no va-api support
- Hybrid: know it from my windows days, clunky UI, no va-api support, but best candidate for me right now as I could use it to just copy video and handle audio and subtitles in here
- StaxRip: the .7z file could not be extracted, I just got an error

Any ideas or suggestions?

in reply to who

HandBrake supports AMD VCN hardware video encoding


yes, but that is not viable as the amdgpu-pro drivers are only available on LTS releases and on a few selected distros

You haven't said what source material you're encoding


Mostly BluRay rips, so movies and TV-Shows

Are you aware of Vulkan Video?


I actually was not. Is it any good? But Handbrake does not support that either, does it?

you might consider investing some time in learning ffmpeg commands.


I am, but for anything involving multiple audio and subtitle streams and stream selection in general it is not an option for me...

in reply to BentiGorlich

the amdgpu-pro drivers are only available on LTS releases and on a few selected distros


Are you sure? I would expect AMD to have their own download & install instructions that could be used on any distro. That would be more work for you than just installing a package directly from your distro, of course.

Curiously, I just found a comment from last year claiming that amf-amdgpu-pro now works with Mesa's RADV. So maybe this approach could work without AMD's proprietary driver?

Mostly BluRay rips, so movies and TV-Shows


By rips, do you mean your source media is already in a container, like a .mkv or .mp4 file? Or are you encoding directly from optical discs? If it's the latter, then using a tool other than HandBrake for the encode might also require finding a disc ripping tool. (Not all encoding tools can decrypt and demux discs.)

I actually was not. Is it any good? But Handbrake does not support that either, does it?


I haven't used Vulkan Video. It's just an API, so I would expect the video quality to depend on your hardware's encoder, just as it would with VAAPI or any other API.

I don't think Handbrake supports it yet, so until they do, I think you would have to use some other encoding tool.

for anything involving multiple audio and subtitle streams and stream selection in general it is not an option for me…


You haven't said why, but if it's just that managing lots of streams using command line tools is more hassle than you want to deal with, you might take a look at MKVToolNix. It's pretty good at muxing, even if the source media is not a .mkv file.

Je connaissais bien cette phrase de Paul Valéry "Nous autres, civilisations, nous savons maintenant que nous sommes mortelles."

Je découvre aujourd'hui la suite: "Et nous voyons maintenant que l'abîme de l'histoire est assez grand pour tout le monde. Nous sentons qu'une civilisation a la même fragilité qu'une vie. Les circonstances qui enverraient les oeuvres de Keats et celles de Baudelaire rejoindre les oeuvres de Ménandre ne sont plus du tout inconcevables: elles sont dans les journaux."

The hoppy IPA-ish beer I brewed (nearly) 2 weeks ago seems to be done fermenting at 1.008 (temp corrected) making it 7.5% abv.

It tastes pretty good, has a nice bitterness on the higher side for my palate but not too painful. Aroma is tropical/pineapple. It definitely needs a dry hop to bring it to where I want it to be, but overall, I think it's turned out well so far. I wish it wasn't as dry as it is, but it's not wrecking the beer by any means.

"Germany to boost military by up to 60,000 troops under new NATO targets" making everyone more unsafe as escalation always will do, but now also with less funds for lefe saving instead of life ending activities, hospitals, rescue services, infrastructure, education, all of you people in Germany basically can just fuck off, because the government only cares about misunderstood personal prestige and pointless lines on maps. This is an attack against you, against your lives.
It will absolutely not make anyone anywhere more safe, except Putin, Rutte and fellow warmongers, but will make at least many tens of millions of peoples' lives more miserable.
reuters.com/world/europe/germa…
in reply to b9AcE

Also, NATO's "target" for how much of the people's money to squander on killing and war escalation is non-mandatory, actually.
Politicians and other death-promoters keep phrasing it as if they have no choice because NATO, but in fact one can choose to waste exactly 0¢ on anything military and still be compliant with the North Atlantic Treaty and the resulting Organization.
It's a "target" suggested by the war bloc itself for its funding of itself by others and obviously entirely partisan, not a requirement.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) had to use less precise methods to estimate price changes for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in April due to staffing shortages.

The concerns around the accuracy of U.S. inflation data follow other issues with government statistics in recent months, including the suspension of hundreds of data series and the application of incorrect sample weights to the unemployment rate survey.

"Mein Name ist Maja. Vor fast einem Jahr wurde ich rechtswidrig nach Ungarn ausgeliefert. Seitdem werde ich hier in menschenunwürdiger Langzeit-Einzelhaft gefangen gehalten."
So beginnt Majas Hungerstreikerklärung.
basc.news/hungerstreikerklaeru…
Sei heute, dem 05.06.2025, befindet Maja sich im Budapester Gefängnis im Hungertreik.
tagesschau.de/investigativ/mdr…

Maja wurde illegal im letzten Jahr nach Ungarn verschleppt, das Bundesvefassungsgericht hat per einstweiliger Anordnung die Überstellung an Ungarn untersagt, dennoch sitzt Maja heute in Budapest in Isolationshaftl.

Maja soll im Jahr 2023 an Angriffen auf Neonazis in Budapest beteiligt gewesen sein. Alljährlich marschieren tausende Neonazis in Budapest am "Tag der Ehre" auf um den Soldaten der deutschen Wehrmacht und Waffen-SS sowie ihrer ungarischen Verbündeten während der Schlacht um Budapest zu gedenken. Im Zuge des Gedenktages kommt es regelmäßig zur Verherrlichung der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus.

2023 reisten zahlreiche Antifaschist:innen aus ganz Europa nach Ungarn um den Neonazis Grenzen aufzuzeigen. Seitdem werden die Antifaschist:innen von der rechtsextremen ungarischen Justiz in ganz Europa gejagt. Während Italien und Frankreich Überstellungen ablehnten, erwies sich das Berliner Kammergericht als williger Vollstrecker der ungarischen Justiz. Die Entscheidung des Kammegerichts beurteilte später das Bundesverfassungsgericht als verfassungswidrig-was Maja wenig nutzte, denn mit Hilfe der sächsischen Justizbehörden, war Maja da schon in einer Nacht und Nebel Aktion nach Ungarn verschleppt worden.

@jazzilla I sent you a link to an article that tells you about multiple historical writings which confirm many persons described in biblical accounts.

The Path That Waited for Me

I walked alone, once—
not because I lacked love,
but because I had not yet learned
the sound of my own steps.

There were no maps,
only wind in the trees
and the press of footprints
too old to follow.

I carried all I thought I needed:
the ache of past years,
a rusted kind of pride,
and questions folded like paper cranes
I never dared to open.

But the forest didn't ask for answers.
It asked for presence.
The stones beneath my feet
taught me weight.
The silence showed me
how to listen without needing to speak.

And in that long, slow wandering—
where no hand held mine,
no voice called me home—
I found myself turning
to my own breath for company.

When I returned,
I was no longer searching.
I saw her—my wife—
not as a missing half,
but as a mirror
that did not distort me.

Love, real love,
came not from escape,
but from returning whole.
