BLIND-COMPRESS(1)

📦 version 1.1, in alpine 3.24

okay bestie, you’re looking at blind-compress(1) from the General Commands Manual ✨

💖 NAME 💖

blind-compress — compress a video for network transmission 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

blind-compress

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so, blind-compress applies a very fast and simple compression to video 🔥. The output is decompressed by blind-decompress(1) — and despite a normal head, blind-decompress(1) is the only program that can use the output. Like, fr fr, nothing else can use it 😭.

It’s designed to reduce the transferred data with minimal overhead when sending data between computers 🫶. And the recommended combo is blind-compress plus lz4 -1 — that’s the move 💅✨.

🦋 REQUIREMENTS 🦋

vibe check, memory edition: blind-compress requires enough free memory to load two full frames into memory 🧚. A frame requires 32 bytes per pixel it contains 🫶.
