problem with mplayer diacritics

Though not as popular as it used to be, mplayer is very versatile and I like it.
On a certain movie the .srt subtitle was displaying funny characters.
First I added all needed languages in Language Settings and then went into ~/.mplayer/config where I commented the iso8859-1 line and added utf-8. All worked well.

#subcp = iso8859-1 
subcp=utf-8
 
 

Schedule ETH transactions with Chronobot

Sometimes you need to make an Ethereum payment transfer at a specific time that may not be very convenient to you(middle of the night, airplane flight, etc). With Ethereum Chronobot, you can submit signed transactions to be executed lately at the time you choose. In the case of ICOs this might be very handy, because you can prepare everything and schedule the payment exactly when the ICO starts so you minimize the chances of missing it.

Chronobot will broadcast your transactions to multiple nodes so miners can pick it up very fast. There is no need to keep your internet connection up or wallet open, once you have submitted to Chronobot, everything will be done automatically.

then
