Today I discovered vim-speeddating
by tpope. I’m sure I’ve seen years ago but it did not click for my workflow
until today. I often go through pictures from my phone for the past few days
and make Posts tagged: shots posts, but I want to date them to about when the image was
taken most of the time. This allows me to quickly bump days up and down using
c-a and c-x even around the new year.
Sound on, listen to those new switches.
new keeb so good
New keeb feeling so good I don't want to leave it. I'm going to go from having
my worse favorite at work, to having my new favorite at work.

Yesterday I wrote about a way to do light mode screen recording to convert to light mode from dark mode with ffmpeg. I was wondering if it could be done entirely on the front end for web applications. Turns out you can. I’m sure there are limited wikis and site builders that don’t allow adding style like this, but it works if you can.

Convert a video from dark mode to light mode with FFmpeg!

Converting video from dark mode to light mode after the fact is a pretty great idea, I’m surprised at how well it does. Its definitely not perfect, but looks really good.

I saw this tip from Cassidoo and had to try it out for myself. I kicked on a screen recording right from where my terminal was, converted it, and it actually looks pretty good.
ffmpeg \
-i screenrecording-2026-01-01_10-10-49.mp4 \
-vf "negate,hue=h=180,eq=contrast=1.2:saturation=1.1" \
screenrecording-2026-01-01_10-10-49-light.mp4
Dark Mode
Light Mode
There are a few unsettling things about it, but overall I feel like it was a success.
