My pull request updating @thfr's #fauxstream for #CBR (constant bitrate) encoding for #twitch #streaming, #screencasting under #OpenBSD is now submitted:

github.com/rfht/fauxstream/pul

A lot of research & testing went into this one and I'm very happy with the real-world results. Of course, most of the behind-the-scenes effort was actually getting my own stream configuration overhauled & optimized so my dual-core i7 laptop could actually keep up with the encoding so I could test my patches.

The Twitch Broadcasting Guidelines suggest that streams be encoded with CBR (constant bit rate), as opposed to VBR (variable bit rate), to reduce chances of buffering, dropped frames, or latency du...

I needed to dampen the sound that the keyboard makes because my table top is thin wood and resonates when I type. In audio recordings it makes an annoying low booming frequency.

Found the perfect thing after a quick look through closets in the house: the pad from a floor sweeper. Fits perfectly. Thick enough to fully kill the noise, but thin enough to work the keyboard.

How to Highlight the Mouse Cursor in Ubuntu

If you record screencasts, make online tutorials, or stream your Ubuntu desktop when gaming you may find it useful to highlight your mouse cursor. When screen recording it can be helpful to make the mouse cursor stand out on screen using a highlight effect. Users of macOS and Windows can access a wide range of apps and add-ons that offer all sorts of fancy mouse cursor effects, including screen recording software with flashy mouse effects built-in. On Ubuntu there’s no need. A mouse highlight effect is built-in to the GNOME desktop environment as part of its accessibility settings. Thought not :sys_more_orange:

@ademalsasa @clay On windows, some folks liked Prism, because it had good support for multistreaming, while support was spotty in OBS due to deps for installing multi-streaming plugins depending on your compile - big issue with Arch due to all of the various custom packaging options available, not so much with Debian -testing or custom .deb repos.

But now that OBS has officially moved away from distro packages by issuing (or at least adding) officiall releases in three form of a flatpak, most of those matters have been mitigated.

One of these few instances where flatpaks are actually the way to go and maintain a current release for a software offering, IMO.

It doesn't sound like that really has much bearing on your use case, since you're mostly concerned with just recording (and not live streaming), but either way, yes, OBS is da bom!

I'm glad you've found editing software you like, that's often a much more daunting challenge due to workflow style, features needed, aged a whole shitload of mostly preferential decisions one must make that can take some people weeks or months until they can actually determine which (FOSS) offering they end up preferring - there are so many options with different ways they operate, lolz, that some people actually die from decision anxiety 🤘🤡🤘
