For legal reasons Fedora 37 decided to build Mesa without support for H.246, H.256 and VC1 VA-API codecs. (discussion thread)

Luckely, installing a build that enables those is fairly easy:

  1. Enable RPMFusion
  2. Install mesa with the codecs enabled 
    $ sudo dnf install mesa-va-drivers-freeworld mesa-vdpau-drivers-freeworld

    or swap it out if it’s already installed

    $ sudo dnf swap mesa-va-drivers mesa-va-drivers-freeworld
$ sudo dnf swap mesa-vdpau-drivers mesa-vdpau-drivers-freeworld
  3. Install some additional codecs 
    $ sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin
$ sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video
$ sudo dnf install @multimedia @sound-and-video ffmpeg-libs gstreamer1-plugins-{bad-\*,good-\*,base} gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 gstreamer1-libav lame\*

and you should be good to go.

Moving from Hetzner Storageboxes to Jottacloud

A year ago I migrated from Backblaze B2 to Hetzner Storageboxes. That worked fine, but passing over the 5TB border made my offsite storage rather expensive (again). So another round of investigations was called upon.

Switching to Traefik and step-ca (from nginx-proxy)

I’ve been using nginx-proxy as a reverse proxy for my docker containers for a few years, where I manually generate and inject the necessary SSL certificates to make stuff work. The certificates were generated on my Opnsense box. A bit tedious, but manageable.
