Show HN: Convkit – A command line tool for converting images/video/docs offline
3 by shdwfruit | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Going to some shady website for file conversions was really annoying me because I had to hope whatever I gave them wasn't saved, and whatever I got back wasn't something "unexpected." So I made convkit, a CLI that does file conversions 100% locally. Run conv in.mp4 out.gif
and you get your GIF from the right tool (ffmpeg, ImageMagick, etc.) using settings tuned for good output. For example, a GIF's 256 colors are picked from the clip itself instead of ffmpeg's generic palette. And if you've ever had an issue uploading a file that is too large, you can use the --max-size flag: conv clip.mp4 --max-size 10mb
It trades resolution, frame rate and bitrate against each other, so you get the best-looking version that still fits. Notes - In early stages (0.3.x) so some issues pop up - You only need the tools for the conversions you use, so video and GIFs only need ffmpeg; LibreOffice, pandoc and Typst are only for documents; Image to Image needs ImageMagick. - Not all features are listed. If you are interested go to the github page! https://ift.tt/hI3gzRP - If you want any specific conversions, let me know! Thanks for reading!

Ive started to think about it lately, a google search just doesn't yield a satisfiable result. What do you guys think ? How many people are actually against AI? Sometimes it feels like the majority are starting to be skeptical, but maybe that's just the environment im surrounded by.

Not enough space in the title, the actual scenario is this: A hypothetical US gov't, benevolent and markedly less corrupt than the current one, passes a Constitutional amendment to nationalize Alphabet, with the express intent to return Google Search to 2010 levels of efficacy and to remove all LLM functions from both its frontend and backend. I guess what I'm really asking is what people would abide to have the internet back, via a search solution that actually works and whose usefulness hasn't been annihilated by ~15 years of cynical corporate marauding and product torture.
