+Hi blog readers! It's time for a regular update on stuff I've ~~gained expertise
+in~~ frantically googled and hacked together so I can put it in front of your
+faces.
+
+I use YouTube as a video hosting service because it's largely predictable and
+it's the evil I know. I'm starting to try to reduce my dependencies on large
+centralized systems like YouTube and one of the ways I want to do this is by
+hosting my own video.
+
+In a perfect world, I'd wait until [AV1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1) is
+fully dominant and [supported on all the browsers that you people
+use](https://caniuse.com/av1), but I want to start experimenting on this now. As
+such, I am using [hls.js](https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js) to allow me to
+use [HTTP live streaming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Live_Streaming) to
+embed video on my blog. You can see it on these talk pages:
+
+- [My Blog is Hilariously Overengineered to the Point People Think it's a Static
+ Site](https://xeiaso.net/talks/how-my-website-works)
+- [How Static Code Analysis Prevents You From Waking Up at 3AM With Production
+ on Fire](https://xeiaso.net/talks/conf42-static-analysis)
+
+And if you want a live demo, check it out here with footage of a random Splatoon
+3 match that I've been using to benchmark various ffmpeg flags:
+
+<noscript><xeblog-conv name="Mara" mood="hacker">NoScript users, you will have
+to enable JavaScript for this one, sorry!.</xeblog-conv></noscript>
+
+<xeblog-video path="blog/hls-post"></xeblog-video>
+
+As far as I know, the only issue with this is that it doesn't work on iOS
+Safari. I'm not sure why. I plan to get this fixed at some point, but for now
+this works enough to experiment with. I will be sure to upload my next talk
+video for my GoLab talk using this.
+
+Here is the ffmpeg command I'm using if it helps you figure out what I'm doing
+wrong:
+
+```
+ffmpeg \
+ -i ./source.mp4 \
+ -profile:v baseline \
+ -level 3.0 \
+ -start_number 0 \
+ -hls_time 10 \
+ -hls_list_size 0 \
+ -f hls \
+ index.m3u8
+```
+
+I also have a Pixel 6A running GrapheneOS now and I plan to experiment with
+GrapheneOS as my next daily driver smartphone OS. I enjoy how spartan it is.
+Just look at the default homescreen:
+
+<xeblog-picture path="blog/grapheneos_home_screen"></xeblog-picture>
+
+It's beautiful. There's just _nothing_ there. I love it so much. I'm working on
+a longer post where I write about my experiences with GrapheneOS and my thoughts
+on if I want to use it as a daily driver. It reminds me of simpler days where
+people competed to build ever more slimmed down Android roms for budget phones.
+
+Moving off iOS is going to be very multifaceted and complicated.
+
+Anyways, hope this is interesting! Be well.
