Fleddit in June 2023. Was on kbin for a while but it’s been broken and janky lately, so I’m giving midwest.social a try now.

Induction cooktop master race. Both 'merica and 240V, boils water fast as fuck.

st3ph3n,

Dunno, but on my particular cooktop (one of the cheaper ones you can get) the most powerful zone on it goes to 3600W.

st3ph3n,

Browsing YouTube while logged out is 1,000 times worse.

st3ph3n,

The guy getting milkshaked is Nigel Farage, a right-wing politician and all-round cunt, best known for being the biggest Brexit cheerleader. This incident happened yesterday as he was launching his election campaign - the UK is having a general election next month.

st3ph3n,

Yes, I have both. The desktop is pretty beefy and runs Windows (for now) and is mostly used for games and Adobe stuff. The laptop is a Thinkpad running Linux Mint, and is my couch computer. I use it for normal web browsing type stuff, and for managing my home lab server that sits in a closet in my basement. I also play some lightweight games on it via Steam/proton.

st3ph3n,

It took about a week to generate for my library without hardware-accelerated MJPEG generation, at the default resolution in the Trickplay configuration. I let it use 8 threads but CPU use was close to nothing the whole time, even with priority bumped up to above normal.

It wound up consuming about 10GB of storage by the time it was done, for a library of 2.6TB. My library is mostly 1080p stuff, a mix of h.264 and x265.

st3ph3n,

This made the rounds yesterday, but the only source was Jones himself, and nothing appears to have happened. So, yeah, probably just drumming up cash from the rubes.

st3ph3n,

I assume I should probably wait for my multi-day running Trickplay task to finish before attempting an update, right? :)

st3ph3n, (edited )

Mine’s been running for about 5-6 days now, also not a huge library. I’m running Jellyfin in an LXC container on a host with 16 CPU cores. Started with 4 cores, but have bumped it up to 8. I have noticed that when it is generating the Trickplay images for h.264 content it only uses about 8% of the available CPU resources. When generating images for x265 it uses about 60-70%.It doesn’t seem to matter what the priority for the trickplay job is set to.

st3ph3n,

At the rate my Jellyfin server is generating trickplay images right now the Android client might have support for them by the time it finishes.

st3ph3n,

My library isn’t huge (in my opinion anyway, a few hundred episodes of TV and maybe 100 movies). My Trickplay job is about 16% complete after 3 days, lol. My AMD iGPU doesn’t appear to be supported for the MJPEG stuff so I don’t get GPU acceleration, but I have Jellyfin set to allow 4 threads for generating Trickplay images, and am running on a 4-core VM that sits on physical hardware that isn’t slow at all. Looks like even though it is using 4 threads it is still only using one of the cores, as CPU utilization for the ffmpeg process doing it is always at about 25%.

st3ph3n,

In Texas it is already legal to carry, concealed or not, without a permit.

st3ph3n,

I use one of those tiny mini PCs, with an AMD mobile CPU in it. It sips power but has enough oomph for transcoding when necessary. I’m sure the NAS that my library actually sits on uses way more power with its mechanical HDDs.

st3ph3n,

Schadenfreude intensifies

st3ph3n,

This is fucking comedy gold.

st3ph3n,

b-b-b-b-but what if I need to overthrow the oppressive gubmint that happens to not agree with all of my crazy values?

st3ph3n,

I run mine in an LXC container. I just snapshotted it in case of disaster and then ran apt update && apt upgrade.

I just finished setting up Linux Mint for an old buddy of mine on his old dog of a laptop, rendering it useful once again! (i.imgur.com)

Edit 2: to everyone suggesting an SDD: i know. Look, if this guy had enough $$$ for an SSD, he could buy a used lappy less than half the age of this one that has an ssd and 2-3x the memory....

st3ph3n,

I’m guessing it has 3GB of ram and 256MB is being eaten due to being shared video memory.

st3ph3n,

That was a fascinating read, thanks for sharing!

st3ph3n,

Probably just a city truck that the police were using to block the street.

st3ph3n,

ASS JERKY.

st3ph3n,

Kinda surprised the Russians have any to spare.

st3ph3n,

That’s what happens when the defendant is a polarizing fascist asshole.

st3ph3n,

Surely at this stage Tesla would be better off without this giant douche at the helm?
