My personal worflow from photos to slideshow (2025-02)
author: bestia.dev repository: GitHub

Hashtags: #english #photos
My projects on Github are more like a tutorial than a finished product: bestia-dev tutorials.

Motivation

When I go on vacation I take thousands of photos from different devices.
It is chaos. I want to tame the chaos, but it is not easy. The only thing that I really know about a photo is the moment it is taken.
So I prefer to name the photos by date and time in this format 2025-12-31 23-59-59.
But I want to know which photos are mine and which photos are from my friends. So I append a prefix "LF" to make the difference.

ffmpeg is great

install in debian

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

ffmpeg merge subtitles

ffmpeg -i "LF2025-01-26 Egypt.mkv" -vf subtitles="LF2025-01-26 Egypt.srt:force_style='FontSize=28'" "LF2025-01-26 Egypt.mp4"

Cut mp3 file

ffmpeg -ss 462 -i "input.mp3" -acodec copy "output.mp3"

Open-source and free as a beer

My open-source projects are free as a beer (MIT license).
I just love programming.
But I need also to drink. If you find my projects and tutorials helpful, please buy me a beer by donating to my PayPal.
You know the price of a beer in your local bar ;-)
So I can drink a free beer for your health :-)
Na zdravje! Alla salute! Prost! Nazdravlje! 🍻
