see when i started viewing youtube (2018-19), i had poor internet connectivity, and naturally started with 1080p, but my stream would stutter, so i started to decrease quality 1080>720>540 and so on), at same time, i started to watch stuff at higher and higher speed (normal is 2.3x for me now), and i realized i was not getting anything more by watching at higher res (i increase it to 360-480 sometimes if there is very small font, but rare), so i naturally grew to watch stuff at 144p, now i have good enough connection to watch maybe smooth 2x 4k (sometimes i get 200 Mbps) all the time, but never feel the need to do it (i have set mpv, yt-dlp, all my other video players, to have default res of 144 (or whatever the lowest they serve))
until last year, i used to watch youtube with "3gpp", they used to serve at 144x192 (so 4x3) at ~7fps, which at the usual speeds i watched, seemed pretty good (audio bitrate was roughly 15-20kbps), and was legitimately sad when they stopped doing that, i could no longer have a 10 min video under 5 MiB (with audio)
I used to maintain an archive of content i liked which was almost exclusively self compressed low bitrate x265, and only recently have started to save 720p-1080p (still plan to compress most to 720p AV1 at reasonable bitrates
I am sorry, I dont know how to do syntax highlighting in html, if it helps, can you please check it on codeberg (link in table of content and also mid text), there you can choose your preferred highlighting.
Yes, it is similar to aliases, I covered that bit in executing stuff, my problem from the times i had aliases was that sometimes i could not remember the aliases i had set (i had greater than 50 at some time), and for such reasons, there are programs like
navi
andcheats
, I used to use navi, but then i had a different binding to call navi (ctrl+g
by default) and this way I have only 1 binding, and that helps develop a great muscle memory. also aliases can only mimic the behaviour ofType
orExec
sections, for others, you would need something elseand yes, the result is indeed graphical, I will add screenshots
