@vaporeon_ It was some weird issue with WSL.

If you run bash from a windows terminal, it briefly opens a WSL instance to execute the command. For some reason this closed early

I used a WSL terminal directly instead of running bash from a windows terminal and it works just fine now

@vaporeon_ I'm not getting any errors. I am very conbfused

@vaporeon_ for some reason this will quit before finishing all of the files...

@vaporeon_ a little searching tells me that audio encoding is typically handled with a single thread

hey @vaporeon_ is there a good way to parallelize the following bash script I'm using to convert FLACs to MP3s?

#!/usr/bin/env bash

find "./${1}" | while read -r file; do
  case $(file -b "${file}") in
  'FLAC '*)
    echo "${file}"
    ffmpeg -nostdin -i "${file}" -ab 320k -map_metadata 0 -id3v2_version 3 "${file%flac}mp3" -v 16
    ;;
  *)
    ;;
  esac
done

ffmpeg makes me feel like a real computer toucher

@coriander 🫵 adhd

@coriander didn't realize you were a crafty-type goblin

@coriander that is beautiful

@coriander

hey @coriander wanna see something cool

it turns out that beer, popcorn, and good conversation fixes being sad

@The_T ah i when download them one of them has a file name that indicates it is the final cut

@The_T I see that there's two blade runners, on is 1h57m and one is 1h58m

@The_T is it the one recently added to movies?

@The_T this is fate....

extremely funny that the one blade runner bluray disc im struggling to save on my computer is the one with the Final Cut

@coriander my parents were screening PG movies even when I was in high school...

@coriander you're so right actually
