A new old webm for a new old thread

>>23145398
Something absolutely funny to me is that I tuned into the channel many months later and the same yellow car was driving past.

>>23146821

>>23145416
wow what are the odds

>>23150098
Probably not measurable using human instruments or understanding of this universe. I picked one video out of a backlog folder to make a webm out of, didn't like the result, picked another that was rainy then decided to visit the channel it's from - any few minutes outside of that time window would have been different.

>>23150098
>>23150121
Probably someone local to the area.

>>23150889
Oh, I was blabbing about the odds of me seeing it twice like that.
It's certainly someone local. Maybe they're delivering meals, maybe they looked at their phone during the red light and hopped in to check what /aizu/ is discussing

Good news lads, Rambalac got out to do a couple new videos. Hopefully we'll get a few more too.

>>23151041
I still have around 20 things bookmarked to download. My computer's not good enough for 4K, yet my inner archivist says it would be a cardinal sin to download in 2K.

Something tells me we wouldn't be able to see the wheel even if it were lit up

>>23153953
It's tucked behind on the middle left, am I right?

cool

Yeah, it's visible in the gap between buildings above where the highway is pointed away from the camera.

You've reminded me anon... I still need to do something with that year+ of time lapses(Yunokami-Onsen Station)... gaaahhh

Unreal. I want the dude who made that Fushimi Inari unity game to become a trainfag and make us one for two of the stations.

Haru yo~

>>23190866
scary

We're only a few weeks at most from the city cameras being awfully quiet

>>23191684
What do you mean?

>>23192054
Japan's been on the down low because they haven't been testing anyone. As soon as they stop pretending nothing's happening (which will come with an Olympics announcement) there will be a lot less public gatherings and events, less stores open, and such

>>23192118
They already find 30-something new cases out of ~1000 tests every day. As a whole in the big cities the people using the transport has decreased and a lot of popular places are emptier, not just tourist areas.

God can you imagine the scramble come April? It's a safe bet to assume that carriers will shed the virus for several weeks post symptom abatement (translation: will be contagious for a few weeks after they stop being visibly sick) -- and even in the best-case scenario it takes time to grow the bacteria to use in vaccines, let alone to do testing. We're in this for the long haul -- if the Olympics are impacted I wouldn't be surprised.

How are things where you are, anons? I'm in one of the places without case reports so far, but it's still nuts up here. Everyone's hoarding stuff. The cleaning/first aid aisles of every store have been wiped.

>>23192921
I'm in a place that had ample time to prepare but everyone around me is retarded and didn't do anything.
Nothing wrong with grabbing supplies if you're going to use them. I look down on people trying to flip a shekel during a crisis however.

>>23192921
Cases started being find out last week. ~50 so far. It is because of people that travelled to Italy after it was already booming there. We prepared a month or more of food before the cases, though. People are not finally stocking up a bit themselves, but nothing super drastic. You can buy food and toilet paper just fine. Well, might be a bit hard to get bread if you are going to the shop at 8pm.
The Japanese have been hoarding for a while now. They are want to reopen schools, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is just to close them again soon after. Technically not all are closed anyway. At the very least I think Japan is going to be one of the countries that have a steady supply of new cases, but won't go super insane in numbers. The people seem to take it seriously enough. The problem is if they start relaxing.
This doesn't look like a lot for the crossing. It is noon even. And people are definitely keeping more distance from each other.

>>23193066
It would never be a bad idea to have excess stuff especially in a country like Japan, where you don't know if an earthquake will cut off water/power an hour after you go to sleep.
A lot of people don't consider non-natural disaster reasons for it too, like having a boil water advisory declaration.

>>23193149
Well, the thing is with natural disasters is that people might die, but it is going to be from the disaster itself. Even a region is hurt hard, the rest of the country will be fine and they can deliver needed supplies. Having the whole country under some sort of quarantine restrictions is a different beast.
But otherwise I agree, having some food and medicine stocked is never bad. Extra important to think about in countries that are not self-sustaining themselves food-wise.

>>23193191
I know. I stopped trying to change people's minds around here, all I can do is hope what I have lasts me when I need it.
I spent around $400 (which doesn't get you dick all in Canada thanks to nonstop inflation) on stuff back when it was still an 'overseas problem' in early February. I didn't tell anyone and don't plan to, I don't want to be pestered for stuff by idiots that had their head in the sand.

>>23193227
Forgot to add a tidbit: I got 90 rolls of TP (so 3 packages from Costco) at that time, and my father asked me why I needed so much. I told him supply chain disruptions had already been announced and it would only get worse, and we shit like rabbits as it is so it's best to have it now instead of later when it might be scarce.

Lo, he walks out this past Friday and the cashier at the local grocer says they've been out for 3 weeks and whenever it shows up people pick it apart like vultures then go to flip it online for 1000% profit, employees even taking some home after their shift.

>>23193227
I was able to convince my mother just before the end of February, when it was starting to get in Europe. My brother is a cripple, so because of him the family qualified for some food give away by the Red Cross, like a month+ of canned food, rice and some flour. It was a big Red Cross event across the country that the people were ignoring on masses and my mother was going to be another one of them. Literally 2 weeks before cases started being reported they were giving away a lot of free food and people didn't want it. If things get worse the irony will be big.

>>23193233
Like a week ago or less they made it illegal to flip commodities like that. Just before the announcement some politician excused himself for doing that and making over 80k dollars in the process. Because he admitted it just before the announcement, which he knew about of course, he dodged being prosecuted.

>>23193247
Well, I was dealing with people that laughed and joked when I warned them about the coming effects, like IF you manage to not get sick you're still probably going to lose your job so buying that 4k TV is maybe a dumb idea right now.
What they didn't realize is that I'm not smug about it. I didn't want to be proven right. I'd rather have been mocked for worrying than watch people get overwhelmed because they voluntarily ignored reality.

The #1 thing about prep is to buy what you'd already use anyhow, that way if nothing inconveniences you, you've just frontloaded your grocery expenses. Now in this case I'm preparing for life without bread and milk, which will be hard to adjust for.

>>23192921
I am in Sweden, numbers are starting to pick up and some people are losing their minds.
I got the last pack of toilet paper in town yesterday, shelves are almost empty of bread, milk, coffee and some types of canned goods.
Meanwhile there was still pasta, rice, powder mashed potato mix and frozen stuff left in decent numbers, people are fucking retarded.
I bet the run after toilet paper is just because they heard about it selling out elsewhere, but who the hell hoards bread and milk over rice and pasta?

>>23193288
>I bet the run after toilet paper is just because they heard about it selling out elsewhere
That is exactly my hypothesis. I think the whole thing started with Japan. There was a rumour in Japan that their toilet paper is produced in China and the flow from there will be cut. That caused toilet paper panic there. Turns out all of the toilet paper in Japan is produced locally, but people still continue to horde it. And that went around the world just like the virus, without any sense of logic to it.
The only argument is that if you plan to close yourself at home for good, you will have toilet paper for a while. But even then, you don't need more than a few packages (depending on their size) for a month of toilet paper. Or you know, just wash your ass. Of all people the nips that have the fancy toilets shouldn't worry about toilet paper.

I spent about as much as the anons above stocking up when overseas friends gave me the heads-up, but I run a supply excess in general because here in bumfuck Appalachia she's always going to hell anyway. My father is on dialysis and can't go out in this shit outside of the place where he gets his treatments, so I've got the whole house stockpiled with just about everything you could want.

Protip: you can freeze eggs if you crack them out of the shell first. Bread freezes well too. Canned milk is liveable, powdered reconstitutes fine. Gonna do a lot of baking over the quarantine I think. It's good to keep busy.

>>23193066
The scramble already looks dead for what it is.

>>23193327
It's also the average person operating on basic reptile brain functions turning on the news to see coverage about TP, so they go out and buy TP, ignore whatever actual issue is present, and resume life. Like it doesn't even register as more than a hot item to grab, and the news wasn't helping by saying it was nothing and just washing your hands is good - meanwhile, China on week X was laying dirt barricades to prevent vehicles from traveling. That should have been a tipoff to anyone informed of it.
Also, yeah, buy a damn bidet for $30. You may not like it at first, but it'll save you money in the short term.
>>23193334
Do you just lay out the egg in a plastic cup or something? I disagree on bread freezing "well", it's vulnerable in frost because thawing it out makes the edges either really tough or, if you toast from frozen, soggy instead.
I bought some packs of yeast in case I want to make crusty bread. Just flour and water then a throw in the stove inside a metal pot. Easy enough for a dinner, won't be getting you sandwiches though.

>>23193354
Big ice cube trays or plastic egg trays work well, then once they're done you can pop the yolksicle into a freezer bag and just remove a few anytime you want an egg while you freeze the next batch. They're a little weird after freezing but far from inedible and they still retain most of the protein, which is the important thing.

>>23192118
They've already closed all the schools, stopped large public gatherings, lots of public places have closed, and so on.
I doubt they're going to cancel the Olympics (because it should reduce in summer anyway and it will have passed peak infection rates).
>because they haven't been testing anyone
And this is just rumor bullshit.

>>23193327
You still need TP even when you have your ass getting washed by water.
For one, you don't want a soggy ass crack.
As far as I can tell the TP problem is basically over in Japan now. My local super has stock (not as much as usual, but still stock) whenever I go in now, and the food hording never really seemed to take off here.
The problem is still mostly masks and hand sanitizer.

Hasn't been much of a winter this year, have to make do with what we get.

I wonder how bad the virus situation would have to get before regular train traffic would get cancelled?
I guess at that point the whole country would practically be out of action.

Since we are talking about the virus, any good cameras that will show the effects of it? Like crowded places with everyone wearing masks or the opposite with empty shops?

Guess with more people having not much to do now and the cams maybe getting empty I'll link my playlists again for comfy train cabviews:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ACQ-6KbEazVa4zjt8g04YyvKd19WpSu

4K only: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ACQ-6KbEaygaJzfO-8NV8esGZlvhaOO

>>23195657
Thanks, I appreciate it.

As an aside, these are great for video wallpapers. My computer is too potato for that to be worthwhile, but if you're on Linux, you can put something like this in you ~/.xinitrc to load a random video from the playlists 2 minutes in and use it as your background:

>xwinwrap -ov -ni -nf -b -un -fdt -s -- mpv -wid WID --mute=yes --start=120 --ytdl-raw-options=playlist-random= https://www.youtube.com/playlist\?list\=PL0ACQ-6KbEaygaJzfO-8NV8esGZlvhaOO
Requires xwinwrap, mpv, and youtube-dl

>>23192921
I think down here in brasil its going to be a fuckfest for the virus. very few schools and universities closed, and absolutely no jobs either. no body is preparing seriously for this and I bet the number of cases will explode

>>23195586
well, the osaka wakuwaku shop camera has traffic with masks, but it's also a tiny area with not a lot of congestion.
then you'd have the street cams that show passerby and cars

>>23197895

>>23200043
Oh, this is at Shinsekai.

>>23200061
Yeah, it's the basement shop of the tower from what I read on the website.
It used to have audio, like before the start of the year. Really a shame because you could listen to the idol performances on weekends.

>>23200043
I'm actually surprised so many are not wearing a mask, especially it seems young women and middle-aged men.

>>23200623
From what i understand in many areas masks are almost constantly sold out, so unless they had a large stock at home already some people may be running out of masks to use even if they wanted to.

>>23194128
>For one, you don't want a soggy ass crack.
It's called a "towel"

>>23202561
Tell me more about this towel invention
Is it expensive?

>>23202561
Considering how the water jet isn't a perfect cleaner (I have used them), rubbing fecal matter on a towel each time I use the toilet doesn't sound appealing to me.
If it was an emergency, that's one thing, but if I have the option it's gonna be toilet paper every time.

>>23207230
eat healthier

>>23207538
If I could clean poop, I wouldn't need an ass jet.

>>23207538
Not that anon, but chiming in because I have a pretty strict "healthy" diet (by most people's standards) due to some health stuff and let me tell you, sometimes even the healthiest diet takes a backseat to the whims of the digestive tract.

That's quite a magnificent roof. How old is the station building?

>>23216815
I have never been able to find out, but the station was first founded in 1932, not impossible it's still the same building.

>>23206695
This is some highquality cam. URL? Unless it's from a youtube video, in which case carry on

>>23218870
From the angle looks like it was recorded from the end of the platform.

it's from YT, vid is GgioHxnB8f4, about 1:28:30.
Also, I found it by searching YT for the Aizu line in japanese

>>23220871
I guess I could just embed it to make life easier, huh?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgioHxnB8f4

>>23220871
That is 15GB in 4k. I want to know how to make youtube-dl fetch a 2k version instead, but it doesn't seem to have a format code (like how 1080p is 137)

>>23220922
here's the command I used
ffmpeg -i $(youtube-dl -f 22 --get-url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgioHxnB8f4)) -ss 01:28:36 -t 00:00:30 -c:v copy -c:a copy yuno_cab_test.mp4
then I converted it to webm as normal.
that command will seek to the time and take 30 seconds of vid, BUT when I tried it with better formats it seemed like it was actually downloading the whole video. format 22 was the only one that worked for me.
I think the command above took about 2-3 minutes to run. When I tried the better formats, I let it go about 10 minutes before killing it.

>>23220922
this video has a 1440p webm format (271) that comes in at 7.52gb.

>>23220989
nice I'll keep that as a template for future use.
Like I said last thread, I have a bunch of rambalac vids I want to obtain, but they're very large in 4K and I also can't run them smoothly on my hardware. I would try to fetch them in 1440p60 but I don't know the code for it.

>>23221054
I spoke too soon, thank you. 271 is the key.

>>23221057
youtube-dl -F vidid will list the formats for you. You can even specify the vid stream and the audio stream separately and have them remux'd into a usable format. I haven't actually done this yet but I did read about it ytdl page

>>23220837
Woah. thread theme.

>>23236257
There's ride views for just about everything hm. I was once watching Tabi channel (via a defunct twitch channel called mint3) and there was an unmanned station deep in the mountains, I wish I kept the footage.

>>23236257
I didn't realize that just before the clip started there was a gundam off to the left.
>>23236429
I'm finding lots of interesting little ride videos - there's a channel I saw today called railfan aunz, which has a mix of japan, NZ, and australia vids. Not as good as live station cams but what can you do...

>>23236499
holy shit I think I know that Gundam

If you liked '5cm per second', crossing #3 here is apparently the one. If not, here's a nice vid of train.

>>23236499
I'm way ahead of you there, the playlists I linked here >>23195657 have videos from about 30 different channels based around Japan (the 4k list having less because only a few upload in 4k). There's some really good stuff put out by these guys. I usually use the videos on a TV next to my PC as a form of background noise/comfy viewing when I get bored with the static cams.

>>23239471
I started from your playlists, so definitely yes :), and thanks for posting them.

>>23236084
It's at a temple, there are interior cameras from a room in the temple as well, but the light is always out every time i look at it.
There are no video feeds from inside the residence, even i have limits to my creeper level.

>>23236085
>That framerate hurts so much
See what happens when you try to record several camera streams from the same system, it saves them all to the same file, cycling through them frame by frame from each camera, sometimes sticking to one that has motion detected.

That area gets really bad on winter, even moving from course to course is difficult when there's heavy snow conditions. But people still go hard at it sometimes and it gets fun to watch, just have to tune in at the right time.

there's also a cam in Nikko circuit worth checking it out
https://youtu.be/isLJeaKAU5M

This is one unfortunate camera.

Nice view of sakura even if the quality isn't great.

>>23236076
Dude what cam is this?

Is approaching 50% dead, I wish someone would fix it, but I am too lazy

>>23259645
The creator here. I am lazy too. I think about fixing it up and adding a lot of new links all the time. Maybe soon(tm). Not that many are dead actually, you just have to visit the channels, not the stream links. After the fix up I will leave channel links only.

This is one beautiful camera nobody posts pictures of.

bad social distancing
from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM7_-e0gdsc

>>23264826
Social distancing isn't in affect in most of Japan.

>>23266023
they're handling it suspiciously well. Japan being in such close proximity to China and having their workers go back and forth in January, if it were truly bad it would have shown up by now... I hope.

>>23267497
Some people are saying that Japan isn't testing enough, that some people suspected of having it by nurses and doctors still can't get tested. That the problem is still being hidden, especially before the Olympics were officially postponed.

They advised limited travel/contact/outdoor activities in Tokyo this weekend because there was an upsurge in cases, but it remains to be seen if that's just the tip of a bigger problem.

>>23267566
I saw the rumor of coverups by calling cause of death 'pneumonia' and leaving it at that. I know Japan had a lot of reason to suppress any actual emergency because they were hinging on the Olympics still being held on time. Now that that's out the window, who knows.
There is no news of hospitals being at capacity, and Japan has so much social media you'd hear about it if it wasn't in the news anyway. I feel like their culture of distance and already wearing masks is overriding the fact that they pack like sardines into public transport and so far haven't done much for limiting large gatherings.
The other thing is that asking people to come to one place for additional testing might just make for a nice transmission vector.

>>23267584
I will say they are aware, though.
A couple weeks ago I had a fever and went to a local clinic here in the countryside and they had me wait separate from other people, checked for influenza and decided it was just a cold because I didn't have any of the other symptoms. Stayed at home a couple days to make sure no other symptoms came up.

Isn't there a traffic cam on this view of the motorway, or am I remembering wrong?

>>23268568
Yes

The side closest to the sea was shut down for a day or so while the typhoon hit, I'd imagine because you either get your car hit by a wave or there's no traction at all.
the Tama was near overflow once the rainfall was done, and took over a week to go back to normal.

Yeah, typhoon 19. I have hundreds of pictures and videos that I was hoarding from twitter in the days from before it hit, to aftermath.

I put the yt id in the filename and metadata -

I grabbed about 4 minutes and then sped that up 10x. In the original the trains are going really slow.

I had been mostly relying on youtube because I can't figure out a brainless way to put (interactive or not) IP cameras into a recording software like VLC

>>23284755
rtmpdump works for a lot of them. I think ffmpeg can open quite a few streams directly as well.
for example, with the yunokami onsen camera,

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://114.160.7.45/livepkgr/live-cam003" --live -o myfile.mp4 --stop 60

or, using ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i "rtmp://114.160.7.45/livepkgr/live-cam003 live=1" -an -c:v copy -t 60 myfile.mp4

will grab 60 seconds of video.

I had some difficulty getting different programs to take the "live=1" or "--live" parameter - without it, the server will reject and throw an error.

For other cameras that just provide a stream of still images, you can capture these with curl usually, or ffmpeg. The issue with these is that they don't provide metadata so your capture file won't have framerate in it and you'll have to edit it in afterwards.

>>23284845
>The issue with these is that they don't provide metadata so your capture file won't have framerate in it and you'll have to edit it in afterwards.
If using ffmpeg, you can specify the -framerate flag before the first input to force a framerate.

Actually, while we're on the topic:
I'm thinking of writing a python script to automate webm creation (actively pull filesize limits by board, 2pass until fits limits, enable alpha, etc.), and I was wondering if there would be any feature that would make your posts easier to make, since you make so many.

>>23290122
For me, I'm not sure there are any - so far I spend more time getting the source video, and picking out a cut. After that converting to webm is usually pretty straightforward. Granted, I'm still learning about video compression but I generally like to work directly with the tool for those things.
For other boards, where you might have audio and/or want to burn in subtitles, I think a tool could be very useful as there are more parameters and flags to keep track of.

Can someone "redpill" me on this? This whole train watching thing is very strange yet oddly appealing.

i'll post some content tomorrow, probably via youtube because fuck this 3MB limit when I'm not an ffmpeg wizard

Your autism diagnosis has become fatal, basically.

great video. In return, this is apparently the honorary station master of Ashinomaki Onsen station.

>>23299005
Might just be. I put a PoV of a train I found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCknQGbZYl4&list=PLjWGtU-9VE7U6ewenGl0mah_LWtoCpitV&index=3
And I had it in the background while I worked for a couple of hours. Whenever I took a break I'd switch to it and look at the footage. It's surprisingly soothing. I may be onto something here.

>>23302557
I used to study while listening to some quiet train tracks. These ones, exactly - just distant enough you don't hear much vehicle noise or people, but it picks up cicadas and train bells at night in the summer.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-FJEUgsKaHi5ep0wihlNEw

have any of you had issues where a fully complete video drags into your video editor of choice and refuses to present as more than an audio track?
I have something in my backlog that plays properly in MPC/VLC but once in Vegas it has no video

>>23305497
as a result I had to take the footage into a webm wrapper and make a total of 7 velocity passes, to compress a sunrise down to 30 seconds.

>>23305585
and because there's no way this will get under 3MB while still resembling our planet Earth..

Haven't looked at Dogenzaka in two weeks, but damn, it's empy now. Almost makes me fear and wonder if Japanese Government is hiding something.

>>23312388
They have been. And other nations started asking them the same, after they only started reporting large numbers of infections following the Olympics postponement.

I was reading NHK yesterday and it mentioned a Chiba senior complex had 86 infections, something like that. Given the astounding lack of clear direction in the country with regards to them finding out about this in January, I am guessing half of those will be deaths.

>>23312399
But why? Japan understands their global reputation. Pulling a China will only make it worse, reputation and nationally, same with SK.
Them accepting a postphoning of OL just seemed rational to me to not get thousands of infected into their shit. Though i still won't believe anything due to how online their societies is. If gubbamint man tries to hide, a thousand japanese individuals will show it off to the world.

>>23312446
It was saving face, that's all there was. Trying desperately to keep the Olympics. If they were pulling a China, they'd be using secret police to kill people who spread word and welding families into their homes and leaving them there to die.
Japan's better than that, but they're still going to deal with a lot of misery soon because of failures to control public gatherings, etc.

>>23312458
Until i see Japanese people posting vids of our assumed horrible state, i won't believe it. I trust the japanese population to continue their nonstop search for censorship on 2ch and sister sites as they always have when shit falls down.
The lack of people in the webcam will either be shown as hysterical idocary the next few days, or a reason for concern. Until then i trust Japan to do the right thing (well, you know what i mean).

>>23312484
I'm friends with a Nagano area nurse but the language barrier prevents me from asking much about how it has been going. I don't believe there's some massive wave of death going right now - as you say, if it were there, someone would let the world know. What I believe is that a lack of direction and protocol will lead to otherwise preventable deaths in a population with a lot of elderly, a lot of smokers, and a lot of overstressed overworked people all using public transport to work in their cubicle hell until they're not allowed to.

>>23312581
i should have done a better job keeping my bookmarks together, but it's things like the below that will help accelerate cases. Every country so far has learned the harsh lesson of what it means when hospitals are full - they begin medical triage and only take who has the highest chance to physically survive the ordeal. Assume every poor decision like denying workers use of PPE has a bullwhip effect that causes worsening 3 weeks out from that time.

>McDonald's has been found to not allow shop assistants to wear masks at this time.
A female staff member said, "The company told me that I couldn't wear a mask because .. couldn't see my smile."
On top of things like this picture. Just a lot of recklessness. I can understand this level of mismanagement for anyone except a country that shares a sea with ground zero and also saw their first cases back in January and had a cluster in Hokkaido a month after.

Lastly.. I would love to be wrong. I'd like for them to be the country that keeps it under control and doesn't trip through ten layers of redundant bureaucracy and face-saving.
I am not certain which way it will play out, because it seems like the longer this has been going on, each new country (in the west) to deal with a breakout is no more prepared or reactive than if they were the first.

wtf I love trains now

>>23326385
No, it's my first time checking out this thread and I'm genuinely enjoying myself.

>>23326408
unfortunately the 'stay at home' thing has made /jp/ faster than ever before not that it changed much for the inhabitants
we're on page 7 right now and it was page 8 before I last bumped, can't be helped with niche interests that aren't touhou armpits or pictures of idols eating food.

I'm at a total loss as to how to get certain video to just... stop being 4-5mb. Hiroshimoot will never cave on this, yet I see ffmpeg wizards on /wsg/ fit entire minutes of footage into their limit.
Can't speed it up much because it makes the size bloat from color changes and ruins the video. Can't cut the framerate from 30 because the downwards movement becomes choppy. I only got it under 4 (and under 3) by shrinking from 1280x720 to 1076x604 which sounded like the least effective option.

Expect more backlog bumps soon.

Any sort of 'timelapse' looks like absolute ass because the bitrate explodes as soon as I increase speed.

Early in the bridge repair process, the camera was sometimes zooming in on the riverbed where vehicles were laying dirt and tetrapods.

>>23329504
I'm certain this has come up before, but since I'm fairly new to this thread - what about moving it to /wsg/ ?

>>23329633
Do you actually mean it always makes them bigger or you just can't make them small enough without losing too much quality?
>>23329976
This one is absolute rad.

So I thought this was a nice mountain scene with mist swirling around but then I saw the helicopters and I guess it's a volcano that became active.

>>23332850
nice. this scene seems to work very well with limited bandwidth.

>>23332555

But this is Mount Hakone and the helicopter-like object is a cable car.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMbf2p-eaBA

>>23333808
ah, my bad on the helicopter part. The volcano part I got from here:
https://www.onken.odawara.kanagawa.jp/volcano-geology/hakone-volcanic-activity/
(google translate)
Volcanic activity around Owakudani (Mt. Hakone)

The Japan Meteorological Agency has issued an eruption warning level 1 (note that it is an active volcano).
Since mid-March this year (March 2019), Mt.Hakone has seen an increase in seismic activity and crustal deformation indicating bulging, and on May 19, eruption alert level 2 was announced. After that, volcanic activity declined, and the frequency of earthquakes has recently become pre-active, and changes in crustal movements that indicate mountain expansion have almost stagnated. However, vigorous fumarolic activity continues in the assumed crater area around Owakudani, and attention must be continued. The Onsen Geoscience Institute will continue to carefully monitor the future.

Hopefully they just switch content delivery on the site to embedded youtube streams.
A year or two ago i wouldn't have been so hopeful, but seems youtube streaming in Japan is picking up enough that with some luck someone handling the site may have heard of it.

Looks like school is back to normal?

>>23373999
Schools are shut for the year here. Japan has been exposed as the dinosaur country that it is in the Covid-19 crisis they've made absolute fools of themselves.

The only country of course that's made a bigger boob of the situation is America.

>>23375975

awesome - I just watched the 1993 macworld expo one. it was, as we said back in the day, a kick.

more nostalgia, this is from yt about the ending of the Eiheiji Line. Probably someone linked it here or on one of the playlists.
The opening makes me think it's the start of an old drama.

Looks like winter isn't over yet.

>>23373999
I think a lot of schools are having their opening ceremonies, even if they're going to continue being closed for a few more weeks.
But right now the most populous and most affected areas are taking the most precautions. Japan's testing rate is ramping up but their number of cases is still fairly low.
The biggest problems are people being stupid (people wanting to leave Tokyo and move to rural areas to "escape" the virus) and the fact that the Japanese government doesn't have constitutional powers to carry out a lockdown.

red train day at yunokami

I'm not sure what to post lately. Aside from being near the end of the thread, it's just weird times.

This inspired my most recent trip due in October, but the Australia will probably still have it's borders closed so it'll probably get cancelled.
