Thread overview
September 17

I've begun editing, rendering, and publishing the standalone videos of the DConf '23 talks. The venue gave us access to all of their footage this year rather than just a subset of it, and I'm happy to make use of it.

I've also got the benefit of AI subtitle generation built into the latest version of the editor I'm using. It does an amazing job of it. The first video required only very minor tweaks. The upshot is that if you have English CC enabled, you'll get a more accurate script than the auto-generated one from YouTube.

The first video, Saeed's talk, is live:

https://youtu.be/cN0zS04wOFU

Please let me know if anything is problematic with the video and of any errors you happen to find in the subtitles.

I'm not going to announce every video I publish. I'll announce when I'm finished with all of them. If you're not subscribed to the channel, you can periodically check the DConf '23 playlist for updates:

I'll try to publish a new one every two or three days, but I've got a lot going on right now and make no promises. If you want to keep up with my progress on the DConf videos and other tasks related to the DLF's YouTube channel, you can follow the project tracker here:

You're welcome!

Unfortunately, last night my GPU started to consistently overheat and shut down when doing anything graphics intensive, including rendering video. I've done everything I can reasonably do locally, so today I'm going to see if my goto computer dude can make room for me. Either he'll fix it or I'll buy a new card from him.

How soon I'm able to render again depends on how soon I can see him. I don't want to just go out and buy a new gpu unless I absolutely have to.

My feeling is this could be a faulty power supply.
You should try a new PSU first.

How old is the hardware?

It's a two-year-old box. Yes, it could be the PSU, but in my experience when they go bad it manifests in more than one way. I've had a couple of them fail over the years.

At any rate, the guy I took it to will zero in on it. I'll have a definitive answer tomorrow. If I'm lucky, a full internal cleaning of the graphics card and some new thermal paste will solve it. I'm usually not that lucky, though :-)

Clearly, your computer is just sick of hearing about dconf and decided to go on strike. ;)

Not a HW expert, but lowering the GPU settings couldn't at least get the job done (Slower but... done).

Not in this case. Turns out the graphics card's fans have stopped spinning. He's taking it to the service center today.

A family friend had the exact same thing happen. It was a software change to get them spinning again.
