Seeing that the OCVWarp post comparing it to ffmpeg was mentioned in February search performance results from google as the top growing page, I browsed ffmpeg.org to check how easy or difficult it would be to contribute a plugin to ffmpeg. Seems a bit complicated. Browsing further, found these instructions in the wiki for screen-recording video using ffmpeg. Quite useful information. And ffmpeg's wiki and bug-tracking runs on Trac.

Mostly work related stuff which I would've entered into my "Log book". Instead of hosting it on an intranet site, outsourcing the hosting to blogger!

certbot did not auto-renew a domain - it had expired
Even manually trying to renew a domain's SSL certificate from LetsEncrypt, which had not been auto-renewed, did not work.
Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: apache). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: theconcerneddomain.ours
Type: unauthorized
Checking the DNS, found the relevant domain was pointing to a godaddy ip address instead of our ip address. Then, checked the whois record and found that the domain had expired. Alerted the concerned person, they renewed the domain, and a few hours later, certbot auto-renewed the SSL certificate, too.

procedure to change state - Indian Driving License
The procedure in this Malayalam video is for changing the state to Kerala, but I suppose a similar procedure would work for changing to another state which is available on the Parivahan Sarathi website.

OCVWarp with frameserving
I tried to incorporate frame-serving via avisynth+ to my OCVWarp workflow described here, so that steps 1 and 2 could be conflated and the rendering time could be halved - most of the rendering time is taken up by the CPU usage of the codec, I believe. But it did not work.
The latest avisynth+ files work with the latest Virtualdub - even 4096x4096 videos are rendered with no problems. But creating a frameserver with Virtualdub and pointing OCVWarp to the frameserver causes OCVWarp to crash/not respond. AVFS also did not help.
