I’m Mario, a web developer and Linux enthusiast from Spain.
I’m physically in Spain, practically most of the time “here, at my computer” in front of a terminal window on Ubuntu.
I’ve been using Ubuntu Server for my web projects for several years now, specifically relying on LTS versions for production environments.
I’m here to learn more from the community and share some of the technical challenges I face while building lightweight web utilities. My daily work involves a lot of Nginx configuration, FastAPI deployment, and server-side media processing with FFmpeg.
One thing that really caught my attention—besides the fact that you’re a web developer—is your use of FFmpeg on the server side.
Your mention of FFmpeg reminded me of one of my own experiences with it. A friend of mine had around 100 GB of video files online and wanted to download them to his computer, but converted to MP3 because he is blind. So I ended up converting all of them on my server using FFmpeg.
That was quite a long time ago, and back then I was still learning the basics of Linux and computers in general. FFmpeg was absolutely amazing to me at the time.
