- Comment on Self-hosted Jellyfin CPU or GPU for 4K HDR transcoding? 1 day ago:
thanks for the tips! I am running a Ryzen 9 5950X, so it definitely needs a standalone GPU. I am going to be getting a 1070 off the kids’ computer once I upgrade them later this year, so I think I’ll just stick that into it.
Would really like to get the seamless transcoding to work so the whole family can use it without hiccups.
- Comment on Self-hosted Jellyfin CPU or GPU for 4K HDR transcoding? 2 days ago:
Very much agree on all these points; I just wish I could get the transcoding to actually work.
I’ve been running Jellyfin in a container and giving it access to an old GTX970 but it just refuses to do anything with it.

Not that it will stop these clowns. Leak all their PII, remove tax paid protections and workers that mitigate the fallout, and let them bear the fruit of their stupid decisions.

That’s great of them to advertise it; now we can avoid buying anything Roku makes!

- Comment on How conspiracy theories help to maintain Vladimir Putin’s grip on power in Russia --- (podcast, 25 min) 1 month ago:
Just like the conspiracy theory that Prigozhen’s plane had an unscheduled disassembly mid flight, that was not at all caused by Putin’s response to his attempted coup.
- Comment on Star Citizen's first-person shooting is getting backpack-reloading, dynamic crosshairs, procedural recoil, and other improvements to 'bring the FPS combat to AAA standard' 1 month ago:
Playable in very loose terms. I booted it on a decent rig (13700k/32gbRAM/3080ti), after ~10min of loading screens I finally got my ship onto the pad and tried to take off from the planet; half way into the burn out of the atmosphere, I clip out of the pilot seat, through the whole ship and start free falling back to the planet while my ships continues to burn away from me…. I alt+f4’d and uninstalled that hot garbage.

If SC simply showed their original roadmap and timeline, it would speak to itself if it is a scam or or not.
As someone who bought in from the start (when everything was bundled), the argument of “not a scam” fell through when they started to hide their original roadmap.

- Comment on Helldivers 2 boss apologizes for 'horrible' dev comments, says Arrowhead has 'taken action internally to educate our developers' 1 month ago:
Lack of further content and wanting to lock the little content they do have behind the premium bonds, which will drive people to buy credits since they don’t have time to grind out the credits needed.
- Comment on Stress Testing Helldivers 2's HORRIBLE New Meta - YouTube 1 month ago:
Instead of working on fixes and content, they nerf people’s ability to play the endgame.
Typically this is a sign that they lack content and want to drop what little they have while people struggle with their shit weapons.
Then in two weeks they will roll out the new weapons that I’m sure will be mistakenly overpowered, but it’s ok because those are sold for super credits; they will balance them once enough people grind missions to earn credits to earn them.
They had such a great start and now they seem to be going the path of anthem.
- Comment on Nginx core developer quits project in security dispute, starts “freenginx” fork 2 months ago:
I’m all for forming from businesses when executives think they know best for projects, but does this really boils down to CVE assignment or did I miss something?
- Comment on Last Epoch Official Technical Trailer 2 months ago:
Have really enjoyed many aspects of this game over the years of beta, but still can’t get past how slow things feel in the game.
Granted flat time I played was about 4 months ago, but the movement seems like it should be much faster and combat feels like it should have much more density to it; it just doesn’t feel great to be slowly trudging around looking for mobs to unleash on.
One of the things I’ve really enjoyed about Diablo (3 and somewhat 4, although they’ve had similar issues) was the ability to quickly move around and jump into huge packs of enemies.

Here is something really bad going on with this person who has their literal freedom threatened, but let me twist this into why this is Elons fault.

- Comment on Joplin alternative needed 3 months ago:
I self host Outline with storage connected to a Minio instance that I use as S3 storage for several applications.
I loved the ability of writing in markdown form, but a simple and intuitive design, with the ability to share a whole collection, a subset of pages, or a single page publicly without dealing with a bunch of overhead.

Zink Paper is an alternative but nowhere as cheap as regular paper+ink
The paper has several layers: a backing layer with optional pressure sensitive adhesive, heat-sensitive layers with cyan, magenta and yellow dyes in colorless form, and an overcoat.
- Comment on Self Hosted Automatic Bookmark Backup and Synchronization 6 months ago:
Not sure it’s worth the effort to recreate the wheel when Floccus is FOSS and uses your destination of choice.
If anything I’d throw up Nextcloud into docker and set that as the source for Floccus
- Comment on Self Hosted Automatic Bookmark Backup and Synchronization 6 months ago:
Floccus is a great option with different sync sources and works across browsers
- Comment on geoip location of the connections 6 months ago:
How I wish I had seen this about a month ago when I spent hours smarting up the nginx module and converting the maxmind DBs to v1 to make the compatible.
I do wonder how well this performs compared to the nginx module
- Comment on Way for non-technical users to upload to my server with resumability 7 months ago:
If you’re doing the uploads yourself, the fastest solution for large files (e.g. compress into a tar/7z) will be rsync.
It requires minimal setup (ssh or vpn connection) and uses chunk transfer which is typically faster and can be resumed in event of connection failures
- Comment on Way for non-technical users to upload to my server with resumability 7 months ago:
Take a look at NextCloud - very easy to host and has great user management and sharing.
There are also a good amount of apps that are one click integration if you need to expand on functionality.
