FFmpeg compiler

Is anyone aware of a source-to-source compiler whose target language is FFmpeg’s filtergraph syntax?

With Bioscoop, I am in a position to make certain claims and try to defend them as best as I can. That is why I am submitting a paper to a peer-reviewed journal. Still, I could be wrong and I would love you to challenge me on those claims.
The paper is available in the repo.

3 non-negotiables to look for before paying for VPN/proxy services

With how aggressively protocols are being throttled, I see a lot of people getting burned by upfront VPN subscriptions that stop working after three days.

To protect your wallet, I highly recommend using this checklist before committing to any service. For me, these are absolute dealbreakers:

  1. Free trial: Don't pay until you've confirmed you can actually connect. Test the speeds, check the latency, and make sure their obfuscation works for your specific location.
  2. Pay-as-you-go: Start with a single month. If their servers get blocked and they are slow to rotate IPs, you can easily walk away.
  3. Subscription: Only lock into a longer, discounted subscription after the service has proven its stability over a few months.

They are rare, but services that offer this exact structure are usually the ones confident enough in their tech that they don't need to trap you in a 3-year contract.

Curious how everyone else vets their providers before taking the plunge?

New release of Caonima

https://preview.redd.it/57ckxcaf8m2h1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=01e89acb913cb2b0210880bd2cc9f019aedfc677

Caonima is a cross-platform proxy client with a focus on censorship circumvention and net neutrality restoration.

This release brings QUIC-based proxy support — faster, more resilient, and significantly harder to fingerprint than TCP.

Here is the obligatory cross-platform screenshots showing the flow:

1, Linux: Login screen
2, Windows: Server selection
3, MacOS: Enabling proxy

Written in Clojure.

Unified, CI-friendly build across platforms enabled by Meyvn (including notarization on macOS).

Caonima Desktop App Now Natively Supports Hysteria 2

Ten months ago, we upgraded our servers to support Hysteria 2 after concluding that it performed vastly better than other protocols behind the GFW.

Today, we are announcing that our cross-platform desktop app has that support as well, making it available to everyone.

The updated clients are live and available directly on the homepage at caonima.io

🍏 Quick Note for Mac Users:

The macOS version will be officially signed and notarized later this week. If you want to run the current build without waiting, you can just strip the quarantine bit in the terminal:

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Caonima.app
