I’ve never administrated a Lemmy instance, but I can’t shake the feeling that the traffic and activity that would generate would be a massive blow to the infrastructure we have right now. I can’t name anybody at the moment, but maybe we should start with someone a bit smaller?
Not to say that that idea itself isn’t saddening
I think it’s more how uncommon the situation is, the complexity and odds of the rescue, and the ‘ticking clock’ effect that came from them only having 96 hours of oxygen. Stories need to be interesting to get mass media coverage (look at the Tham Luang cave rescue - none of them were billionares), and, as incredibly bleak as this sentence sounds, a boat capsizing with hundreds onboard just isn’t interesting enough.
AV1 is very efficient (around twice as good as h264), but a filesize that low was almost definitely because the default encoding settings were more conservative than the ones used to encode the blu-ray. The perceptual quality of that 1.5gb file will be noticeably lower than the 44gb one
