PLEASE SHARE! Thanks to the incredible generosity and selflessness of the global #GivingTuesday community, Uncommon Ephemera is proud to announce that yesterday we raised $21 toward saving neglected films. (Wait. What?!) There's still time to help save this forgotten format.

New TrID v2.45 available! Major speedup - now can use the StringZilla library, if present, for faster searches: 2x/4x is typical. Win64 package include it, for Python it takes just a "pip install stringzilla".

Released a new, improved and cross-platform version of TrID, coded in Python. It's now up to 8 times faster on big files! 2x/4x faster is typical. Available both as a .py script and as a single executable for Windows x86-64. https://t.co/cL0TmNXSzx

i don’t know who needs to hear this but don’t update to macOS Tahoe if you use 3 dongles to connect to your original iPod via FireWire. Tahoe removes FireWire support
