A foldable laptop on a deck, showing a Jeff Geerling video on the screen.

Jeff Geerling made a great video about the recent solar eclipse!

Reacting to comments: iPods are good, actually

April 10, 2024
A YouTube comment which says "Apple sucks. iPods suck. You suck for telling people to buy Apple's crappy products." The comment is hovering over a trash can in the background.

Responding to some comments about my recent iPod repair video.

I’ve turned on ActivityPub on this blog.

A picture of me (a white lady) looking right in the camera, with @posts@vkc.sh superimposed over my head, and the Fediverse logo in the corner.

I’m alive, and blogging on my website (vkc.sh), and it’s now allegedly part of the Fediverse.

Speech recognition and automatic captioning on the Kdenlive Flatpak

September 2, 2024April 4, 2024
A white woman is making a "thinking" face. Superimposed over the image are the words "Speech Recognition in Kdenlive", and at the bottom of the image, it says "Hmm. I wonder why more people don't use Kdenlive's speech recognition feature?"

Kdenlive has a great subtitle and speech recognition feature, but it can be a pain to set it up when using Flatpak.

Categories accessibility, video editing

A thumbnail with a lot of search engine logos in it. In the middle it says "I quit search engines."

Yup. Here’s what I learned about myself.
