Show HN: I fixed FFmpeg’s subtitle conversion (the bug from 2014)
n8.1-pgs7.0 Convert subtitles between any format. SRT to Blu-ray PGS, PGS to SRT via OCR, styled subtitles with full animation — one command, no format barriers. ”Subtitle encoding currently only possible from text to text or bitmap to bitmap” That bug is FFmpeg #3819, open since 2014.

’The Secret Agent’: Exploring a Vibrant, yet Violent Brazil (2025)
The Secret Agent, Brazil’s Oscar entry for Best International Feature Film, is a visually subversive political thriller. The film was shot on location in Brazil using bright, saturated colors by cinematographer Evgenia Alexandrova, AFC as a counterpoint to the dark, terrifying subject matter, proceeding as a slow burn. Set in 1977, during the final years […]
We give every user SQL access to a shared ClickHouse cluster
How do you let users write arbitrary SQL against a shared multi-tenant analytical database without exposing other tenants’ data or letting a rogue query take down the cluster? That’s the problem we needed to solve for Query & Dashboards. The answer is TRQL (Trigger Query Language), a SQL-style language that compiles to secure, tenant-isolated ClickHouse […]
I love my dumb watches
13 Mar, 2026 I’ve always liked wearing a watch. It seems redundant at first, since we’re perpetually glued to our phones these days, but it’s really not. A smartphone is like a Swiss Army knife. It can do a lot of things, but if I’m assembling some cheap furniture, I’m not doing it with the […]

A Fuzzer for the Toy Optimizer
It’s hard to get optimizers right. Even if you build up a painstaking test suite by hand, you will likely miss corner cases, especially corner cases at the interactions of multiple components or multiple optimization passes. I wanted to see if I could write a fuzzer to catch some of these bugs automatically. But a […]
Drawvg Filter for FFmpeg
drawvg is a FFmpeg filter, available since 8.1, to render vector graphics on top of video frames. The render is done by executing a script written in its own language, called VGS (Vector Graphics Script).

A groundbreaking hack for Microsoft’s ‘unhackable’ Xbox One was revealed at the recent RE//verse 2026 conference. This console has remained a fortress since its launch in 2013, but now Markus ‘Doom’ Gaasedelen has showcased the ‘Bliss’ double glitch. Just as the Xbox 360 famously fell to the Reset Glitch Hack (RGH), the Xbox One has […]
