What you NEED to Know Before Touching a Video File

Hanging out in subtitling and video re-editing communities, I see my fair share of novice video editors and video encoders, and see plenty of them make the classic beginner mistakes when it comes to working with videos. A man can only read "Use Handbrake to convert your mkv to an mp4 :)" so many times before losing it, so I am writing this article to channel the resulting psychic damage into something productive.

If you are new to working with videos (or, let's face it, even if you aren't), please read through this guide to avoid making mistakes that can cost you lots of time, computing power, storage space, or video quality.

Why Free Hosting is Bad

Contact Noelle for any concerns or questions with this gist

When looking for hosting your bot, free services and/or providers that claim to support hosting Discord Bots. Do not use them. Why? Let me explain.

The Drawbacks

Free hosts are providers who specialize in offering an free platform to host projects.

Setting Up KeePass

I frequently see discussions around which password manager to use. I personally use [KeePass][main]. This is an open source program that allows you to have control in your data. The database format is encrypted so as long as you keep your master password secure, the chance of someone getting access to your passwords is practically zero.

This document is just meant as a signpost to steer you in the right direction of how to set up KeePass across multiple operating systems and have your file synced in the cloud all while paying $0 and not having to set up a single server to do so.

Why KeePass?
