going through the laguna seca corkscrew on a mini has to feel insane

I meant that devices purchased within the past 8 years or so have hevc decoding now. so even your grandmother who’s known for holding on to old tech most likely has something that will work with it.

just in the past year or two I’ve found that those devices have become common enough for incompatibility to be extremely rare. and the software support is far better within that timeline too. firefox had issues with it as of a few years ago, but it’s become pretty seamless on most browsers and devices.

compatibility with devices. it wasn’t long ago that many cheap TVs and such didn’t support hevc and required h264, or work on browsers, etc.

as others have mentioned mp4 with h264 is almost certainly the most compatible. that being said, I transcode everything to hevc if I can’t get it natively, and never have issues. my server literally cannot transcode. it does not have a GPU, and hevc plays natively on every target device I need. even works in browsers these days.

most people will still say h264 is best. but if you’re limited on storage space or want to optimize streaming bitrate hevc works wayyy better than it did even just 1 or 2 years ago.

agreed. even the internal lcds are starting to go with age. I’ve replaced a few in the past month without any physical damage. just decided their time has come I guess.

they’re all containerization programs yes. I believe they differ in some minor details but thanks to the OCI standards a image built with docker will run in podman or vice versa.

distrobox is a little more feature rich for development, meant for exposing services and are interactive by default, vs dockers run and forget methodology.

podman works well, docker is a little finicky due to some systemd weirdness and the whole immutability of it all.

it mainly tries to get you to use distroboxes which are awesome. you can even install something in a distrobox and expose it to the host.

if the hard links everyone else is mentionining aren’t feasible for you, take a look at tvnamer. I’ve found it works quite well for scanning and renaming files, it even supports custom renaming pattern and you can pass it a tvdb series id if it doesn’t automatically detect your series.

I use it cause all my torrenting is done on a different machine, and those files get transferred over to my server. so the arr suite isn’t the best solution for me

for now. I feel like it’s only a matter of time before they say those lifetime passes are expired, or that the product has changes so much it’s not valid, etc. they’ve proven they don’t really care about the user base anymore, it’s all about the money for them now unfortunately.

they’ll try to get bailed out but you would have to bail out so many companies it’s not feasible. you cant just bail out one of these companies. they all propped their stock value up on each other, so unless you bail out every company in the tech sector, there will still be trillions of market cap wiped out.

this is a good thing though. it will mostly only affect those who are overly invested in ultimately unprofitable tech, and the rest of us will be able to buy cheap stock for companies affected like Google and Amazon that will be hit massively but obviously are not just gonna go out of business. it’s similar to the covid drop. sucked for rich people but for the average person it wasn’t a massive issue and even had money making opportunities attached to it as these big companies scrambled.

massgrave.dev has you covered if windows throws a fit

distroboxes are incredible and distrobox expose is legitimately the coolest thing I’ve seen in ages. I have protonge and proton tricks which every game uses installed in a distrobox, and via distrobox expose my host can use them without any any other setup. it’s awesome.

same thing goes for any of my dev tools. i was just shocked about the ability to expose commands and have it be seamless enough for games.

you guys are getting houses?

yes many do. I’m a college student and between classes and work 60 hours is pretty normal for most of us during the semester.

now once you add a social life, family, etc on top it becomes almost impossible pretty quick.

close, but it would actually be missing the codec in proton. bazzite actually comes with a very comprehensive ffmpeg build and all its dependencies.

steam just can’t include those proprietary libs in proton. luckily, protonge exists for this exact reason.

you could get a magnetizer and run it through that a few times. even something cheap like this should do the trick: https://ebay.us/m/18o4zx

magnets just lose their strength over time and repeated use. the Samsung flip phones use magnets to detect when it’s open or closed, and a lot of the time they’ll lose strength and the phone won’t detect that’s it been opened or closed. I have pretty much that exact magnetizer and I run the magnets through that a time or two and everything starts working again lol. I assume the same concept should work for you.

my hard drives…

I haven’t looked at that GitHub but I’m familiar with most of the terms so here goes (verify them if you wish, I can’t promise full accuracy).

portable file server with accelerated resumable uploads: portable most likely means it’s easy to transfer from one server to another should you ever upgrade servers or anything else. resumable means you can pause the transfers if you desire.

dedup: it will automatically deduplicate files. so if you upload the same file twice it will just use the one you previously uploaded, saving space.

webdav is for distributed authoring and versioning. I don’t know a crazy amount about it but assume it means there’s some code in place that aids with collaboration as far as sending a file, working on it, and reuploading goes.

ftp: file transfer protocol.

tftp: trivial file transfer protocol. good for small things but iirc it’s not inherently secure

zerconf: plug and play. no messing with configs needed.

media indexer/all in one file: most likely indexes media uploaded and stores the generated thumbnails in one big file. most likely this is so it’ll be easier to transfer the install to another server if needed (you can move one big file containing all the thumbnails instead of a bunch of tiny ones).

no deps: no dependencies, everything you need is self contained in that repo.

again, double check things your curious about but that’s my interpretation of what most would agree is kind of just a keyword filled description lol

can’t pronounce the name of this song itself, but there’s this Japanese band called glim spanky that has some absolutel bangers.

according to that page the issue stemmed from an underlying system responsible for health checks in load balancing servers.

how the hell do you fuck up a health check config that bad? that’s like messing up smartd.conf and taking your system offline somehow
