What kind of programs would benefit most from being ported to retro consoles?

Obviously Doom.

My God if I have to listen to my mother in law brag about how good of a “deal” her $10 (made up “retail”, $26) Tommy Bahama hand towels from TJ Max were one more time…

for reasons I don’t completely understand, Resilio Sync connections seem to be quicker and more reliable

Resilio runs a “relay” server to facilitate connections where neither peer has properly set up port forwarding. Only downside of Resilio is its not open source, so you just kinda have to take their privacy policy at face value. As long as op isn’t sending something super sensitive though, it probably is no big deal.

Because he paid $10k for a booth to talk about bird safe window tinting, and can actually answer questions about bird safe window tinting. Dude wants to go through all that work into maybe fooling me into giving up my work login credentials, more power to him.

Lemmy and snarky references back to Reddit like that ex-girlfriend you’ve “totally moved on from”

Lentils, rice, and beans together can form a very inexpensive but nutrient rich base for a lot of meals.

Definitely no, viruses need 48-72 hours of incubation before the .mkv host becomes contagious. If the file is <24 hours old, I’d look for another source.

If you’re worried your computer might be infected, you should consider swapping your case LEDs with UV lights to purify your system.

Yeah, for me, I’m looking for prettier not fastest after 120 Hz or so

… Is a property of matter

Does this mean academia is matter?!

This somehow makes me less trusting of the previous comment.

Great insight, really contributing to the community

Look, I definitely get it, but just a note, encoding 100+ 4k HEVC movies is going to take months of time at full PC loads. It’s a subtle cost, but depending on your electricity rate, running a 200W PC 24/7 for 3 months straight may hurt your bottom line more than it helps.

If you already have the storage, the cheapest option may be just to keep it. If you’re looking to increase the size of your collection it may be about even to save 6 TB via encode and to buy an extra 6TB disc, depending on your setup

You’re about to embark on a massive journey and I wish you the best of luck :D

Compressing 110 4K movies is going to be a long encode time, but it will be so nice to digitize that collection.

First question: if you already have them ripped and stored, do you even need to re-encode them? If you have a powerful enough Jellyfin server for transcoding, that may be enough.

That said, if you’re looking to optimize for space and quality, there’s some questions to ask:

• proprietary (but ubiquitous) HEVC or the emerging open standard AV1? It’s going to be a lot easier finding tips/guides for HEVC.

• Constant Rate Factor (CRF), or Average Bit Rate (ABR). CRF tends to be more straightforward if you have a varied collection of content because it let’s the encoder choose settings to deliver consistent quality. 2-pass average bit rate is good if you have a target size or compatibility in mind - great for squeezing out the absolute optimal quality if you’re trying to fit on a Blu-Ray disc or meet certain streaming criteria, but 2x the encode time (hence “2-pass”) can be a tough sell.

Stick with software encoding, steer clear of hardware solutions like NVENC. They’re crazy fast, but inconsistent quality.

There’s some guides out there on converting DV to HDR 10+ etc, but I don’t have a lot of experience with that process.

That’d be Antenna Pod. It’s (IMO) not as good as Pocket Casts, but FOSS is always good.

The thing that keeps me on Pocket Casts is really just the superior queue management. I’ll keep checking back on Antenna Pod though

Probably only possible thanks to their 120Hz Gigh refresh rate. Everyone knows pulyarbnnntelpc becomes unstable if you do not sufficiently refresh your Gigh.

I for one am stoked about their “5G Mobile Iinternet”

Uniker gang*

They’re trash and have been canceled.

Something something pot kettle.

Or even better, my experience with them - they can permanently mark you as poor when the person who stole your identity in the last data beach (Thanks Experian!) doesn’t make their monthly payment, thus tanking your credit while you’re entering escrow on your first home.

Thanks AT&T, now my stolen information I never even gave you is probably back on the black market! The cycle continues.
