KillingTimeItself,

have a look into jellyfin. There’s a lot of precursors involved, im assuming you’re familiar, or will at least look into them if you decide on it though. As for your bitrate problem, there are two solutions, have the end user download it and replay it locally (jellyfin integrates this natively) or use hardware transcoding, (software on cpu, but you should use quick sync or nvenc, or something like that instead) IME modern intel cpus support what you’re looking for on QSV i’m running 12th gen. you can set external connections to a limited speed that JF clients will automatically configure.

For me personally i’ve been running jellyfin for a few years, it’s great. Couple of minor problems, but it’s fine.

KillingTimeItself,

you only really need to pre-code one file. Especially with a network that limited lol.

KillingTimeItself,

if you’re switching between formats yeah it’s going to need to start over on the transcoding. If you don’t it’s actually better because it just caches it on disk. From that point it’s basically native.

Jellyfin does support limiting external network speeds, and individual client speeds, so if you setup your transcoding correctly, and the clients support those codecs, it’ll work.

KillingTimeItself,

intrigued by the fact that this is hated so much. It’s a courteous ask, and something you probably should be doing. Especially if you can just copy and paste the majority of it.

I try to do it when possible.

KillingTimeItself,

archive.org actually has quite a decent clearweb variety. The usual suspects have everything else.

KillingTimeItself,

that is bizarre. My MSI board has been pretty much perfect with sleep, never tried hibernation though.

KillingTimeItself,

the running joke is that arch users are either femboys or trans.

You know the joke about computer nerds being neckbeards? Same idea.

KillingTimeItself,

that’s why its a running joke…

KillingTimeItself,

“the human form looks better in a certain color”

yes i realize this isn’t inherently racist, im making a joke to point out how silly this is

KillingTimeItself,

last i checked according to the ole reliable wikipedia, circumcision is still pretty big in other parts of the world, notably africa iirc.

Society is weird.

KillingTimeItself,

i dont like my given birth name, i could legally change if it i please. In fact i don’t like the concept of legal names much at all, but thats a different story.

Lets throw in some similar cases here. Ear lobes, why not just chop those off at birth? They dangle around weirdly and are places to put jewelry. Which can cause injury.

Ever heard of scarification? It’s like a tattoo, but subtractive instead of additive.

You ever heard of penile subincision? You just yeet a massive slit into the bottom of the penis, that leads into the urethra.

Why not just do those things to children upon birth?

KillingTimeItself,

yeah, it’s a fair observation, i just felt the need to mention that for some reason. Often times weird things have fairly simple explanations.

KillingTimeItself,

its this EXACT same thing but with soccer and football, granted there is actual history there, im going to ignore it because it’s funnier that way.

europe created the term soccer, and then got rid of it, and then took up football, so the US started using soccer, because it had already used football, for well, football. Shocker i know. And so now we still use soccer, but they use football.

KillingTimeItself,

why did you have to ruin my funny with logic and reason?

jokes aside i realize it’s a little more complex than i let on, but it’s the same spirit as the original post so meh.

KillingTimeItself,

yeah, pretty much.

KillingTimeItself,

i think the technicality here is that soccer spread to the US initially. And then it transitioned to football, but by that time US football had been established properly, so we just kind of decided to keep using soccer, because it made the most sense. And besides the entire reason the EU transitioned to football, was kind of just irrelevant for the US anyway.

It’s one of those things where you get stuffed into a bit of an awkward spot. And so you do the best you can. And then everyone still yells at you for some reason. Like yes football already existed, and yes it probably should’ve just been football. But this is also the US and europe that we’re talking about, historically known to be good friends, throughout history. Of course.

KillingTimeItself,

this also doesnt change the fact that if we called football football and football football we would be confusing football with football, and football with football, instead of having two succinct names that are clearly identifiable.

And even then most words don’t make very much sense. It’s just english.

KillingTimeItself,

spotify is cool and all but it doesnt give you media rights of any kind, and it still requires proprietary software. All of my music that i listen to is raw audio files, flac, mp3, etc. I refuse to use anything else.

The sheer flexibility of being able to stuff it into cmus/jellyfin or whatever other software i feel like using is just too much.

For the average internet going pirate, it’s going to be a lot easier to just rip music from the usual suspect, rather than go pull up a bandcamp or whatever. Though at least with music its a lot easier to support artists without purchasing their work. So meh.

KillingTimeItself,

fuck around and find out economics were NOT fucking around, and i am NOT finding out

KillingTimeItself,

you wont catch me raising children both because im a mess, and i refuse to raise children in a dysfunctional society that hasn’t got its shit together.
