So I just ran some encoding tests for #AV1 with #Handbrake, just to see how adjusting some various settings affects the outcome. I've named the files according to the options I changed. The ones with "film grain" options had the following added to "Additional options".

film-grain-denoise=0:film-grain=FOO

This is a particularly difficult scene in Django Unchained that is prone to banding with AV1.

Source was an 8-bit 1080p Bluray.

The RMA'd HDD replacement landed today and is surface scanning. HDD #5 completed its scan 100% OK. Once these two are ready, and the last two old 2TB drives are out of the pool, these go in. That leaves two slots left for new HDDs, but those are at least newer 6TB WD Purples I pulled out of a DVR.

After spending Thursday and Friday in Philadelphia, to attend RE+, I'm back and able to get some of these new drives into the antifa torrent server. I intend to swap two of these into the server this weekend, which is good timing because another old drive is now failing as well. That's like five 2TB drives that have dropped in the last 6 months lol. Thank you all so much for your generous donations to make this project continue! #resist #fascism #datahoarder #digitalpreservation #archive #archiveeverything #digitalactivism #resistanceculture #dataprivacy #infofreedom #independentsource #preservememory #solidarity #nocensorship #archivethefuture #digitalsurvival #freespeech #antifascist #historyisours #digitalsovereignty #safespace #fightfascism
