I don’t disagree, but if it’s a case where the janky file problem ONLY appears in Jellyfin but not Plex, then, well, jank or not, that’s still Jellyfin doing something weird.
No reason why Jellyfin would decide the French audio track should be played every 3rd episode, or that it should just pick a random subtitle track when Plex isn’t doing it on exactly the same files.
As someone who’s had the misfortune of having to use Salesforce professionally, this might actually improve the quality of their slop.
If you share access with your media to anyone you’d consider even remotely non-technical, do not drop Jellyfin in their laps.
The clients aren’t nearly as good as plex, they’re not as universally supported as plex, and the whole thing just has the needs-another-year-or-two-of-polish vibes.
And before the pitchfork crowd shows up, I’m using Jellyfin exclusively, but I also don’t have people using it who can’t figure out why half the episodes in a tv season pick a different language, or why the subtitles are somtimes english, and sometimes german, or why some videos occasionally don’t have proper audio (l and r are swapped) and how to take care of all of those things.
I’d also agree your thought that docker is the right approach to go: you don’t need docker swarm, or kubernetes, or whatever other nonsense for your personal plex install, unless you want to learn those technologies.
Install a base debian via netinstall, install docker, install plex, done.
Mine? Mine? Mine? Mine mine mine mine.
I’m a little horrified that a 15-20% hike is $3000.
That’s uh, well, even before the price hike that makes me feel very Luigi…
That’s a much better name than something I was thinking.
I just made the assumption they’d do the standard open source thing and call it Libre-something.
I’d pay actual money to see the meltdown Matt would have if it was forked and called WP Core.
$5 says there’s a hard fork led by all the commercial providers and anyone else who has a business that depends on Wordpress, and that it happens fairly soon.
It’s GPLed, so while you can’t call your fork Wordpress, you can just rename it and carry on with everything as it was, except you’re no longer involved in dealing with crazy.
I’m not sure the average customer of any of those businesses knows or cares about the name of the software that their site runs, and won’t give a single crap about it not being Wordpress but some other name while otherwise staying exactly the same - or, maybe, without an opinionated obstructionist sitting in front of the code approval path, perhaps even better.
Essentially, yes: they’re not going to contribute to their primary project because some fee-fees got hurt. It’s not really a suicide note, but they’ve certainly decided they’re not opposed to it.
The biggest thing I’ve started not doing (stopped doing? whatever) that’s helped me is spending any time using search engines to find things.
If I’m looking for something I try to find some sort of forum, or irc channel, or discord group, usenet group, or message echo or whatever and just ask what’s (probably) still an actual person.
Maybe google would be faster but holy crap has my quality of shit-i’ve-found online gone way the hell up once I stopped asking a computer to send me to something obscure or old or odd, because every search engine has basically decided to go all slop, all the time now.
The only drawback is if I’m asking someone a question about OS/2 on an echo, it might take me a couple of days until some greybeard comes back with an answer, but so far it’s been 100% accurate shit, rather than either nothing useful, or incorrect slop.
It also fixes that weird thing where the internet feels like nothing but bots and AI slop generators, because you’re in a situation where you can almost 100% be certain the person you’re talking to is still actually a human and it also leads to lovely conversations about other shit, and really brings back the feel of the “old” internet before it got infested with big tech who capitalism-ed it into a pile of garbage.
Not quite.
We’d need the waymo cab to start screaming about how the robot just jumped right out in front of it, and how they should stay the hell out of the way.
Then we’ll have reached parity.
Only 200? Try harder, noob.
(I’m at 410, and my Epic library is now three times the size of my Steam one, lol.)
You kinda missed the most important detail: they’re competing with the mid-range (and yes, a 4060 is the midrange) for substantially less money than the competition wants.
I know game nerd types don’t care about that, but if you’re trying to build a $500 gaming system, Intel just dropped the most compelling gpu on the market and, yes, while there’s an upcoming generation, the 60-series cards don’t come out immediately, and when they do, I doubt they’re going to be competing on price.
Intel really does have a six month to a year window here to buy market share with a sufficiently performant, properly priced, and by all accounts good product.
Might have been unclear; I listen basically exclusively to spoken word stuff. Podcasts, audobooks, “raido” plays, etc.
The Airpods actually sound remarkably good and clear (and ANC helps a lot with ensuring clarity anywhere even slightly noisy) with voices, so for my uses, they sound perfectly fine.
I have a pile of Chi-Fi earbuds that absolutely destroy them in sound quality for music, but it’s very much a 99.9% of the time it’s not music situation.
They really do.
The sound great, and the ANC is great, but the “official” battery life for a brand new one (which these are not) is “up to 4.5 hours” with ANC on, and 5 without it.
It ends up being 2-3 charge cycles basically every day, plus a full recharge of the charging case.
They do, however, work amazingly well if you’re in the Apple ecosystem; for example they’ll swap between my iPad and Mac Mini if audio starts on one or the other.
But for actually sitting down with something and listening to a thing, I’d rather just plug in some headphones (via the lovely USB-C dongle) and not have to think about if the stupid things are going to die before I’m ready to stop listening.
(Disclaimer: I’m also a weirdo who doesn’t carry a smartphone, and still uses an iPod for listening to stuff outside of the house, so feel free to roll your eyes and disregard my obviously bad opinions :P )
This is like saying ‘pancakes require water and butter’.
You’re not wrong, but you’re so reductionist that you’re also very much not right.
Cyberpunk has a lot more to do with the conflict between hackers and The Establishment™, where the conflict very much occurs in a dystopian future or under dystopian circumstances than it does any specific type of technology used to tell the story you want.
Please read more than Gibson’s books and play CP2077 before reducing an entire genre to two “required” bullet points.
My complaint has always been that the stupid things need to endlessly be recharged.
I’ve got some AirPod Pros and they’re great… for about 4 hours.
Then you’re stopping what you’re doing, recharging for half an hour, and then you’re good for uh, another 3 hours because that wasn’t a full charge.
And after the 2nd or 3rd time you’ve done that, your case is dead and you get to throw everything on a charger for a couple of hours.
Ooooooooor I can put in my wired headphones, and not give a shit about any of that, because that’s not how those work at all.
I suppose most people don’t spend most of their day listening to podcasts and audiobooks and thus 4 hours is fine, but good lord is it annoying as crap.
A generative AI company ripping everyone off? Say it ain’t so!
Uh, jesus christ, also what the fuck.
Computers were a mistake, and the internet just made it worse.
If you don’t read the man pages, we’re going to ban you from the chat.
No no, he’ll just change it so that all posts must be 14 words. Much less obvious.
