What specifically isn’t working? I’ve got Jellyfin running on Docker with transcoding from a Nvidia GPU.
I pretty much followed the documentation here: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/nvidia. I can share my docker-compose for that specific use case if you’d like.
I think those miniPC CPUs do a good job transcoding from what I’ve read, the N95 and N100. I already had older hardware set up when I added Jellyfin so I got a cheap nvidia Quadro P400 for the transcoding. If you’re setting up a new system though, I’d guess a Intel iGPU would be more than enough.
I’ve looked at https://www.elpamsoft.com/?p=Plex-Hardware-Transcoding before for transcoding comparisons.
It says it’s been updated 12 years ago apparently.
I’d never heard of GL TRON but I just installed it out of curiosity and it does seem to run fine. Android 13.
He was in the opensuse board of directors at some point I think. I knew him from his Youtube channel that talked about Linux and related topics, it was fairly popular in the Linux community for a while. I mostly watched it for Linux related news and technical opinions. A bit after he left that position, he started occasionally mentioning how now that he wasn’t representing opensuse anymore he could finally “speak freely”. That’s when the channel started taking a weird turn.
At first he started going on weird political tangents while doing the whole “I don’t talk about politics” thing. Some videos started popping up where he would attack some person or organization for what seemed to be mostly political reasons, but under the guise of his reasoning being purely technical.
Eventually, he just started sounding like someone who fell into a conspiracy rabbit hole, or some weird far right cult. I stopped watching then, most of his videos by then had little technical interest anymore and they sounded more like someone who was losing their mind. I don’t know if it’s a mental issue or something, but his whole persona shifted dramatically into something… weird. I haven’t kept up in the mean time, though.
Yeah, it’s not even niche topics, it’s almost everything outside of technology. Almost all of the creative communities I used to follow on Reddit have practically no associated activity on the Fediverse. None of the photography communities have really picked up on Lemmy/Kbin either.
There’s some photographers over on Pixelfed but finding content or accounts to follow is pretty bad. I follow maybe a handful of people whose photos I like to look at, and the only mechanism to find good noteworthy accounts is the trending section - which I check daily but it’s mostly the same handful of people everyday. Scrolling to the public feed or trying to follow generic photography hashtags mostly nets me memes, porn and random pics which aren’t photography at all.
I stopped going to Reddit as much, came over here, after a few weeks I’m not using this as much anymore either, so I’m mostly trying to do more useful things with the time. Though I’m sad that I’ve lost a few communities in the way.
While I understand the sentiment, I hate this trend that whenever someones talks about how soulless the internet has become, the answer is always Web 1.0.
I don’t want web 1.0. I like having CSS and Javascript around. I use them to build things I couldn’t with HTML alone, and I’ve seen countless incredibly creative websites which fundamentally couldn’t have been built without Javascript. It’s weird to me how the article mentions the creative aspect of the old web, versus the commercial aspect and “sameyness” of the current web, only to then toss out tools that allow for even more creativity and personalization in the current web.
Whenever I finish reading one of these articles it always feels like it’s mostly nostalgia and not much else.
I used to be an Arch guy, I had a pretty stable setup for a couple of years, until I had some problem with a printer and I just decided to toss the whole thing out and just go for a distro with neat defaults in which I wouldn’t be having problems with printers.
I’ve been using Solus since then and it’s been fine. Even during the “bad times” of no updates, my laptop kept working fine so I didn’t bother switching to something else and I keep using it since it’s been more stable than distros I’ve used in the past which were supposed to be stable. I’ve seen mentions of the possibility of it eventually having an AUR style thing which would honestly make it the perfect distro.
I’m pretty sure it is, I’ll keep that in mind, thanks!
You will be their removed anyways with no way to change it.
Did you type removed or does some system in the fediverse automatically censor words?
I’d love to say the same but on my Lenovo laptop I get frequent disconnects with bluetooth earphones on Linux alone. Apparently it’s a firmware problem with the AX200 board, but even after having updated the firmware and following all the online fixes I still have the problem.
My whole use case for my laptop is getting away from my desk when I want to read something and listen to music at the end of the day, but it’s annoying to have to reconnect the earphones every 10 or so minutes. Like everything Linux, it’s incredible as long as you have supported hardware and you don’t bump into some weird edge case.
I don’t understand the frustration. With all of the recent examples of people winning photo contests only to reveal later that their “photos” were made by AI, it’s only natural that judges grow paranoid of these things.
As for your friend’s comment on photo competitions, that sounds like someone who’s butt hurt for not winning. I enter some photo contests ocasionally and I have yet to see one in which the winner hadn’t produced some pretty decent work.
I personally don’t even care about rhetoric pushback, it just makes american political discourse impossible to read or interact with. I don’t know how americans deal with this on a daily basis without just giving up and noping out of politics.
When people talk about Nazis in my country’s political scene, they usually mean actual Nazis, skinheads covered in swastikas touting about and committing acts of violence on minorities, genuinely the worst kind of people you can possibly imagine. The same goes for fascists, probably because we got rid of fascism not that long ago. When americans (on the internet, at least) talk about Nazis or fascists, it’s a coin toss whether the person they’re talking about shares actual Nazi ideals, or is just someone very slightly right of center who they disagree with on some very specific issue. It just makes it impossible to interact with any american political discourse. Which would be fine if it was contained in specific communities, but it eventually spreads out to any community which has a large american user base.
I’ll sometimes contribute when I’m travelling to more rural areas which are less likely to be well mapped. The experience in my country has been that cities are very well mapped on OpenStreetMaps with a lot of detail, often having more up to date information than Google Maps. Less populated areas usually don’t have as much detail, but the basics, like roads and buildings are usually well mapped.
I’ve also noticed OpenStreetMaps is awesome for trails and smaller roads used by hikers, usually being much more useful than Google Maps.
I second StreetComplete. I actually had quite a surprise when I first installed it - I expected to have a lot of mapping work ahead of me in my somewhat rural area, but most of it had been mapped in a lot of detail already.
I’m on the same boat right now, borg and borgbase.
It’s not pedantry, it’s just that RAID and instant data duplication or synchronization aren’t meant to protect you from many of the situations in which you would need a backup. If a drive fails, you can restore the information from wherever you duplicated the data to. If, however, your data is corrupted somehow, the corruption is just duplicated over and you have no way to restore the data to a state before the corruption happened. If you accidentally delete files you didn’t want to delete, the deletion is replicated over and, again, no way to restore them. RAID wasn’t built to solve the problems a backup tries to solve.
It’s pretty obviously a joke, but Redditors are still completely unable to tell what a joke is even after moving to a whole new platform
For photography, the biggest one (in terms of subscribers at least) I’ve found so far is @photography , if anyone’s interested.
If anyone has recommendations for other photography spaces hit me up.
You can cache transcoded content in Jellyfin. So use a large enough cache and you basically only have to transcode once for every resolution. It’s easier for me to set up transcoding than it would be to manually figure out which resolutions I’ll prefer having around and transcoding them. Most of my stuff exists in 1080p, with 4k files for stuff I REALLY like, but I sometimes find myself watching on very low resolutions on my phone when away because I have pretty limited data.
I find that in a few movies the 4K versions have a generally better image quality and are worth it even if you are sitting far away or not watching the content in 4K resolution at all. But like you, I only keep around 4k files for stuff I really like.
EDIT: I’ve also run into problems with codecs on other people’s devices when not transcoding. I could keep my files in whatever the most compatible codec is nowadays but having the ability to transcode on the spot is easier.
