GoAccess Log analyzer for nginx and Phoenix
I’ve deployed my first live system with Phoenix and Elixir. Since this
was a mostly manual process, I need a way to analyze the access logs
generated by nginx.

FFMPEG video encoding to save GB of data - which encoding is the best?
I was back-up’ing my system and I reviewed everything after the stupid
debian
bug I’ve encountered.
I noticed that I had some 37 GB of video’s from the 2nd semester of the
CCCP study.
For 50 minutes of lecutre I had around 900 MB.
For a resolution of 1280x720 at 30 frames per second with 24bit color
quality per pixel you would get a 30 GB file without any compression.
So clearly this is a 30:1 win and even the 900MB is a great compression
if you stop to think about it since it was already compressed with the
H264 codec.
I started to look around and test things with libtheora and ffmpeg I
eventually got a 401 MB file.
For a aproximate bitrate of 1024K/s for the video the file size was
roughly half. One problem I encountered with the libtheora was that it
could not use all cores, which made it VERY SLOW.
Ok, i could convert all my videos at once, but that’s pretty lousy. Not
to mention the quality was reduced so theora wasn’t an option.
