Disciplinary actions = promotions

This is very obnoxious.

I personally prefer to buy my guillotines from Costco rather than target.

Dude update your GIMP

To be fair: gomers

I will admit I watch code blue cam sometime for the same reason I’ll watch judge Alex clips or divorce court clips. It’s kinda fun watching the chaos.

So yes and no on that recommendation. If you are just hosting content for local consumption, transcoding is unnecessary since you have the network bandwidth to just throw the data directly to whatever is playing it. So weaker hardware is perfectly fine. If you are doing lots of concurrent streams or there is network access outside the house, the limited bandwidth can become an issue so transcoding suddenly matters and more powerful hardware comes into play.

I have used many ARM SBCs and a few low-power Intel boards like my current N100 and they’ve all been fine. While I generally dislike Intel their quicksync is very useful in media server configurations. If you are going to be doing a lot of live transcodes, I would consider throwing an ARC GPU in there and having jellyfin utilize the transcode capabilities of the Intel GPU instead of the CPU as it can handle more simultaneous streams. Beware the xe driver as there are issues with it in certain configurations. Same with HuC/GuC. The older standard driver is more likely to just work. Jellyfin and the archlinux wiki have great documentation on this.

NVIDIA used to be top tier here but their transcode tech is pretty old by this point and the quality, while acceptable, isn’t the best. Intel beats them. AMD, generally a preference for me, has a terrible media transcoder. Easily the worst quality of all of them. For raw compute and pushing pixels, AMD all the way but for transcode I would pass.

So to summarize: cheap out if it’s just local access. Transcode is pretty much unneeded. If it’s outside the home and/or had many streams at the same time, Intel for the GPU and AMD for the CPU.

It was not

That doesn’t work for me. We tried using it first and switched to Omeprazole.

I’m pushing 40 and my knees are just fine. My esophageal sphincter on the other hand is very angryface. Omeprazole helps but it’s very much thrown in the towel.

Ugh, kill me.

I get that, but his competition is downright gleeful about it.

Skills and education? Most Americans have neither of those things. We are a disposable people and that’s exactly what the corporate slaveowners want. We can’t escape because we are less valuable to other countries which means it’s easier to exploit us. What are we going to do about it, kill our masters? That’s not nice.

No

How is it that all scholars are antisemitic? I just don’t understand. /s

Meh, wake me when it has an i2p presence

Skip the NAS. They all suck. Roll your own server out of literally anything. Install jellyfin. Enjoy

It depends what you want to do with it. What do you want the server to do?

Generally yes but those HP laptops can get really glitchy when they run something other than windows. You can try it but next time just avoid HP.

There are third parties that create new software for old industrial machines for this exact reason.

If you are profitable why are you even alive?
