I am a younger Canadian and want to put more thought into investing, and investing in Canada. What would you recommend? in c/personalfinancecanada@lemmy.ca

Thanks!

If you want a more condensed explanation: don’t invest money you will need within the next decade

Does this include ETFs? I have some money in one and more sitting in a bank account, figured I'd make a plan and set it up properly

From my reading so far I'm looking at ETFs with WS, and that I should start with the TFSA. Am I on the right track and what do you recommend?

Best tool for a casual user to remux and download videos? in c/opensource

It looks nice, but is it still open source?

That's alright, it started the discussion and I learned about the GUIs

~~VLC might work, testing now~~

~~It's slow to get started compared to ffmpeg~~

Convert and save grabbed the audio only, need to play with it more

TLDR: what tool will let a casual user to input a URL (to a disguised .m3u8 file) and get a .mp4?

Backstory, our school uses Panopto to record lectures. The web interface is crap, but I found a project that lets you download the video files as .mp4

https://programming.dev/post/21072323

that is until 2 weeks ago when Panopto started exporting the files as

  • 1 large .panobf1 file
  • 2 small .panobf2 files, a few bytes each

I can swap the file extension for the .panobf1 file to .mp4. This is enough 90% of the time. However, since this is the file with the classroom camera overlaid on the slides, it blocks the content in the corner.

Investigating the .panobf2 files:

❯ file master.panobf2
master.panobf2: M3U playlist, ASCII text

I ran this command on each .panobf2 file to download the classroom stream and slides stream as separate mp4 files.

ffmpeg -i <file-url> -c copy video.mp4

It's finals season and I want to make a new post to help people out. CLI isn't for everyone, so I'm looking for a tool instead

generative AI "helps" with this too

why deal with stackoverflow when you can brainstorm with a chatbot that replies instantly

You can download videos from Panopto and watch them locally in c/ubc@lemmy.ca

Link: https://github.com/Panopto-Video-DL/Panopto-Video-DL-browser?tab=readme-ov-file

Instructions:

  1. Install the TamperMonkey browser extension if you don't have it already

  2. Install this script from GreasyFork

  3. Open a lecture on Panopto, look for this button in the bottom right:

  1. A video will open. Download it with ctrl+S

  2. watch the lecture offline without having to deal with panopto's bs

Use the videos for yourself, don't upload them anywhere else. UBC will get yo ass if you do
