I only realised it is legal to own containers of gunpowder after i saw in a rental lease that explosives are banned from being kept on the premise. Sure, ammo for a gun is expected to be allowed here, but straight gunpowder sold by the pound? That took me for a bit of a loop.
It almost makes you wonder why people bother with fertilizer if they can get premade stuff shipped to their front door.
Find a group of mostly older/married people. It might not solve the problem, but it'll delay it enough that you can get a solid playtest of your latest build before things go to shit.
I cannot stand google news any more, too much spam, clickbait and advertisement. So I decided to try to selfhost an RSS aggregator to make myself a news feed that I would be comfortable with. Being RSS such an "ancient" thing I thought there will be many mature systems, but I'm not sure that's the case.....
I must be doing it wrong. It only seems to pick up some recently added shows. Continue watching often doesn't have the thing I've previously watched. Trying to search for a show with a macrōn doesn't work....
Both. How quickly a server can send a webpage with images (even if they're small) is directly proportional to the storage mediums seeks times. The worse the seek times, the less 'responsive' a website feels. Hard drives are a terrible location to keep your metadata.
The server scan will search for the files, look them up and grab metadata, and then store that metadata in the metadata location. If your metadata location is the same spot as your movie, it will cause some major thrashing, and will significantly increase the scan time for jellyfin. Essentially, it gets bogged down trying to read and write lots of tiny files on the same drive, the absolute worst case scenario for a hard drive to have.
If the movies are on a hard drive, and the metadata on an ssd (or even just a different hard drive) the pipeline will be a lot less problematic.
I have a collection of about ~110 4K Blu-Ray movies that I've ripped and I want to take the time to compress and store them for use on a future Jellyfin server....
God no. X264 is way worse than x265 is way worse than av1 for quality by size.
Yes, everything made in the past 15 years can do x264, but that does not mean it is a good idea. Only do x264 if you have a specific device that needs it. Otherwise, x265 is a better choice for long term storage.
I did a comparison trying to find where my personal "good enough" and techinically indistinguishable crf levels were at a little while ago. It may be worth looking into as a start. I've never really touched hdr before though.
Skipping the audio encode from a blu-ray will lose op out on a surprisingly large amount of space, especially with 110 source disks. I checked one of my two hour blu-ray backups. Audio will net you about nine audio tracks (english, french, etc). A single 5.1 448kbs audio track will take about 380MB of space per movie. Multiply that by nine (the number of different tracks in my sample choice) and you'll get 3420MB per disk. That means about 376GB of space is used on audio alone for ops collection. A third of a terabyte. You can save a lot of space by cutting out the languages you don't need, and also by compressing that source audio to ogg or similar.
By running the following ffmpeg command; ffmpeg -i out-audio.ac3 -codec:a libvorbis -qscale:a 3 small-audio.ogv
I got my 382MB source audio track down to 200MB. Combine that with only keeping the language you need, and you end up dropping from 376GB down to 22GB total.
You can likely save even more space by skimping on subtitles. They're stored as images, so they take up a chunk of space too.
Tl:dw; She's a social person and cobol is an antisocial type of job, there's nothing wrong with the cobol job industry as a whole, and it's generally an incredibly stable position to have.
Not gonna spend a whole lot time arguing intent; you can see what was posted already.
Per unexpectedhazard above;
This only makes sense for a very limited set of things tho.
I'm saying that news is a very limited set of things that you look up on google, and literally everything else will improve with this trick. Just because a single user only spends their google time looking up news articles does not mean that everybody does that. It might be of limited use for unexpectedhazard, but frankly, unexpectedhazard is an exception, not a representative example of most people.
We all know google search has been shit for longer than two years, it's just that before 2023 you could at least eventually find what you were looking for. These days, you can't even do that.

Yep. I've been told multiple times that a beard is a severe prospect limiter; a large chunk of women will write you off just for that. Turns out some dudes can't keep it clean and the rest of us have to suffer the consequences of that.
Poke your landloard about it ahead of time, you might be able to avoid late fees and missunderstandings about it. "I just started a new job and my paycheck is expected five days after rent is due, can we come to an agreement" is a perfectly fine way of doing things. If your new sugar daddie offers to pay the rent, you even get to keep it or, or pay early depending on what makes you feel better.
If theyre assholes about the whole thing, you know to not say shit if this comes up again. Let them be the ones counting on a check that doesnt show up on time.

Switched to what i thought was an old install usb; it had a close enough directory list to what i expected that i then went ahead and rm -rf * the whole thing.
Turns out that was my / directory. I only noticed because things stopped loading from the drive into memory. Everything still running actually still worked for the most part.
If you're putting it in a box it is going to cook itself to death regardless of its need or lack of need for fans. If you're putting it on a dirty floor convection is going to move the dust into it anyways.
If youre putting it in a shop, consider hardware purpose built for that.

I completely agree. This is also why I find find teams and discord to be especially frustrating; they're slow out of the box on the literal best possible hardware.
It's fine for features. The UI design reminds me of phone apps; you have to guess what the symbol means rather than using actual text, but for the most part it does it's job of facilitating office communications. Files are a bitch, but i don't have to use those in teams too often.
My hate stems from its godawful search, and the fact that it struggles to load goddamn text. I swear to god i can count the seconds for each scroll upwards and i hate it.
My old ISP just let me us their device that did this and no routing when I asked for it. I didn't have to buy a MOCA device, I just had to ask to use my own router.
This of course is not true for my new ISP, but it's worth the effort to avoid the hassle of accidentally getting the wrong device to put between your router and the wall.
