Greeting everyone,first post of myself here, be gentle with me and kindly throw this needed dude some neat ++ since I wish to have a nice avatar.
So I wanted to share and interesting thing I found out, I was compiling FFMPEG from source following the official(?) tutorial → https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/..., everything was going ok so far until I got into LibOgg part and says to download libogg-1.3.2.tar.gz from xiph.org and untar it, then it gave me an error about being unable to do so, ok whatever just download the zip version and unzip it AND ... it gave an error again that is not a valid file, ok what is going on here now? decided to run file libvorbis-1.3.4.tar.gz/zip version and it said "HTML document, ASCII text", oh... kden, that is interesting.
Decided to actually check the url "http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/..." in my browser and it sends me to "https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/xiph/..." and the archives there do work since libvorbis does the same thing, so perhaps someone should tell the guys at FFMPEG to stop sending people to xiph.org and sent them to the other url.
Now this is mostly an interesting thing I found out that I wish to share, I dont really any rant to share ... at least not dev-related because Im sure full of stuff to rant in my life
