- Comment on US House panel subpoenas Bill and Hillary Clinton for Epstein testimony 2 hours ago:
Release the Trumpstein files already.
- Comment on Handbrake local vs docker on Synology DS920+: same settings, very different results? 6 hours ago:
Unfortunately, the only other alternative to “auto” under Profile is “main”, which I have no idea what it does.
And under level, it’s either “auto” or a bunch of numbers.
That said, I was under the impression that any manual settings would override the settings in the “auto” profile. Is that not the case?
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 2 days ago:
I will repeat, regardless of what the (erroneous) claims are by Tesla, a driver is still responsible.
This is like those automated bill payment systems. Sure, they are automated, and the company promotes it as “easy” and “convenient”, but you’re still responsible if those bills don’t get paid for whatever reason.
From another report:
While driving, McGee dropped his mobile phone that he was using and scrambled to pick it up. He said during the trial that he believed Enhanced Autopilot would brake if an obstacle was in the way. His Model S accelerated through an intersection at just over 60 miles per hour, hitting a nearby empty parked car and its owners, who were standing on the other side of their vehicle.
Isn’t using a phone while being the driver of a vehicle illegal? And what the hell is was up with highway speeds near an intersection??? This dude can blame autopilot, but goddamn, he was completely negligent. It’s like there were two idiots driving the same vehicle that day.
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 2 days ago:
Absolutely. I hope he and the company burn in hell, but I do not want to start giving drivers who kill people a free pass to say “well, it was the car’s fault!”
“Autopilot”, especially in Tesla cars, is beta software at best, and this feature should never have been allowed to be used on public roads. In that sense, the transportation ministry that’s allowed it also has blood on their hands.
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 3 days ago:
Yes, false advertising for sure. But the responsibility for safe driving, is on the driver, even if the driver’s role is engaging autopilot.
I can only imagine the same applies in other circumstances where autopilot is an option: planes, boats, drones, etc.
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 3 days ago:
Good that the car manufacturer is also being held accountable.
But…
In 2019, George McGee was operating his Tesla Model S using Autopilot when he ran past a stop sign and through an intersection at 62 mph then struck a pair of people stargazing by the side of the road. Naibel Benavides was killed and her partner Dillon Angulo was left with a severe head injury.
That’s on him. 100%
McGee told the court that he thought Autopilot “would assist me should I have a failure or should I miss something, should I make a mistake,”
Stop giving stupid people the ability to control large, heavy vehicles! Autopilot is not a babysitter, it’s supposed to be an assistive technology, like cruise control. This fucking guy gave Tesla the wheel, and that was a choice!
- Comment on You can (probably should) remove personal information from a photo before uploading it to social media 5 days ago:
Strips metadata so that the public can’t see it, isn’t the same as stripping metadata after the corporation has already collected and linked it to your profile. 😫
Always clean the metadata BEFORE it touches their upload UI.
- Comment on Google AI Overview is just affiliate marketing spam now 1 week ago:
Oh, just wait. AI will all be tweaked to sell you shit.
It’s only a matter of time before product placement in AI generated photos and videos becomes a thing, too.
- Comment on We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place. 1 week ago:
Except the women who are forced to vote for whoever their gun-loving, abusive, MAGA husband wants.
Why do you think so many women voted against their best interests?
- Comment on Handbrake local vs docker on Synology DS920+: same settings, very different results? 1 week ago:
I found my answer then! I appreciate that 👍
- Comment on Handbrake local vs docker on Synology DS920+: same settings, very different results? 1 week ago:
Have you taken very verbose logs to see if there’s differences that stand out?
Nope, but that could be a next step. I was hoping for an easy fix (like I did something wrong in the settings).
Realistically, if this can’t be solved by using the built-in setting options, then it’s not worth the trouble to “fix” anything. It still works, so I’m glad to have the option.
- Comment on Handbrake local vs docker on Synology DS920+: same settings, very different results? 1 week ago:
To match it completely I think you need to disregard the presets and set everything yourself, like CRF and everything.
Is there a way to disable the preset completely? There’s no “none” option, just “speed, balanced, and quality”, but I set everything else up manually.
- Comment on Handbrake local vs docker on Synology DS920+: same settings, very different results? 1 week ago:
Basically saving space. The dashcam I use records in h264, and I’ve been saving space (50%) by converting them to h265 (through my Samsung phone). Handbrake is far more convenient for these batch conversions.
- Comment on Handbrake local vs docker on Synology DS920+: same settings, very different results? 1 week ago:
Same version of Handbrake (1.9.2), but I’m not even sure how to check for the ffmpeg version on my NAS, or what Handbrake is using. The system panel in the Handbrake info window doesn’t list ffmpeg at all.
- Comment on Handbrake local vs docker on Synology DS920+: same settings, very different results? 1 week ago:
Thanks for the ideas.
GPU does seem to be passed onto the docker container, not only because of the dramatic increase in speed, but also because the CPU isn’t being maxed out like it was before adding the GPU hardware line.
Volumes are bind mounts.
I experimented with permissions and user groups, and noticed no difference to the behaviour in render output.
For these videos, quality isn’t super important, but file size is. I spent most of yesterday tweaking settings on my local Handbrake install to get the right balance. So, I assumed transferring the settings over would give the same results.
- Comment on Handbrake local vs docker on Synology DS920+: same settings, very different results? 1 week ago:
The NAS (Synology DS920+):
- CPU: Intel Celeron J4125 4-core 2.0 GHz, burst up to 2.7 GHz
- RAM: upgraded to 20GB
- NVME cache: 256GB
- HDD are all Seagate ironwolf 8GB x 3 and a 4TB.
Laptop (Framework 13 11th Gen intel):
- CPU: Intel Core i5-1135G7 (integrated Iris Xe Graphics 80EU)
- RAM: 64GB
- Storage: 2TB WD Black 770
I would expect a difference in speed between the two, but does the hardware affect the output quality/size if the settings are identical?

- Comment on Here's what a Brazilian restaurant owner did after city hall banned sidewalk patio tables 1 week ago:
The problem is on-street parking. Removing it would easily allow for plenty of space for pedestrians and businesses.
- Comment on Anyone use Hetzner Storage Box to backup their Synology NAS? 2 weeks ago:
Synology’s Hyper backup can be encrypted, so yes for my use case.
- Comment on Anyone use Hetzner Storage Box to backup their Synology NAS? 2 weeks ago:
From what I understand, they charge “by the hour”, so if you use less than a month, you get charged for the number of hours instead.
It’s not an egress or added charge… from what I understand 😬
- Comment on Anyone use Hetzner Storage Box to backup their Synology NAS? 2 weeks ago:
It’s one of the view cloud storage options that have an official tutorial to get it working: …hetzner.com/…/synology-hyperbackup-to-storagebox
Some other options I’ve come across don’t support webdav, rsync, or anything else that might make life easier. LOL

Yeah, police background checks for your job work better when you give them a fake name 🧐
- Comment on What water bottles are completely free from the problem of weird chipping/shavings of the material which could put material in the water, even when dropping it or when using Bottle Bright tablets? 3 weeks ago:
I have never encountered a water bottle getting chipped or leaving shavings.
I’ve heard of people complain that steel bottles that use steel tops “scrape” together when you are using the lids, and that can cause metal particles to shed into the water.
That’s one of the reasons why most steel bottles have plastic lids.
- Comment on Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon 3 weeks ago:
If you read how they programmed this robot, it seems that it can anticipate things like that. Also keep in mind that this is only designed to do one type of surgery.
I’m cautiously optimist.
I’d still expect human supervision, though.
- Comment on Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon 3 weeks ago:
Being trained on videos means it has no ability to adapt, improvise, or use knowledge during the surgery.
- Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 3 weeks ago:
Interesting, it’s slightly slower for me through the web interface both with a direct connect to my network, or when proxied through the internet. Still, we’re talking seconds here, and the results are so accurate!
Immich has effectively replaced the (expensive) Windows software Excire Foto, which I was using for on-device contextual search because Synology Photos search just sucks. Excire isn’t ideal to run from Linux because it has to be done through a VM, so I’m happy to self-host Immich and be able to use it even while out of the house.
- Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 3 weeks ago:
OK, indexing finished some time yesterday and I ran a few searches like:
“Child wearing glasses indoors”
“Cars with no wheels”
“Woman riding a bike”
Results come up (immich on android) in three seconds.
But the quality of the results do appear to be considerably better with ViT-B-16-SigLIP2__webli compared to the default model.
I’m pretty happy. 👍
- Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 3 weeks ago:
Search speed was never an issue before, and neither was quality. My biggest gripe is not being able to sort search by date! If I had that, it would be perfect.
But I’ll update you once it’s done (at 97,000 to go… )
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 3 weeks ago:
You’d be permanently destroying that land, and any waterways in the area, so is that really a solution?
And if the land isn’t already fertile, you need to set up alternative land to grow the food for those cows… then import the water…
This is not sustainable, and should be discouraged.
