How well does jellyfin work on a rpi? How many simultaneous 1080p users with AVC\ACC media can it do? Active cooling?

The simple mans solution.

I have several dvd drives. Pretty sure none of them works. They have been sitting unused too long. At least one has a permanently deformed rubber band, that drives the spinny thing. They dry out with time and sitting still.

I prefer solid state stuff.

Most people would rather go to the store and get a new computer, than go to a webpage and download an iso. They can figure it out. They are just lazy and have little motivation to try it. They also want what they already know, with as little change as possible.

Why does your dad have an opinion on what your sister use?

As I understand it, the establishing of the connection is reliant on a relay server. So this would not work on a local network without a relay server and would, by default, try to reach a server on the internet to make connections.

rsync is indeed fiddly. Consider SFTP in your GUI of choice. I mount the folder I need in my file browser and grab the files I need. No terminal needed and I can put the folders as favorites in the side bar.

Don’t use your yt account for email or anything else.

Oh, i didn’t realise I can use sponsorblock with yt-dlp. Neat!

Slow and steady wins the race. Also helps to not be shit. looking at reddit.

Depending on how old and what graphics card you have.

Where we run in to issues like is: user has gnome installed and wants to turn on file sharing, goes to the menu and serches for it, flips webdav on. Then they can’t figure out that you need to install some packages for it to work, they get frustrated and gives up. Then they decide they need to connect their bluetooth headphones. They flip the bluetooth button. The button just springs back off. They have no idea they need to enable a background service for it to function. These are the type of issues the normal user gets mad at. Things they expect to work, but requires their tech support friend to help them.

When i see a monitor having network hardware built in, on the spec sheet, i get very suspicious.

Dynamic DNS or static IP. Whatever is convenient for you. If humans are connecting, it is generally prefered to type in a domain name, rather than an IP address.

Tc won’t scratch, but it is brittle though.

When new OEM PCs comes with Linux pre-installed is when stuff happens. Not before then. Windows 11 adoption will be slow cause of their exclusion of old hardware. That old hardware will be scrapped or people just keep Windows 10 on it, regardless of security warnings.

The Desktop Linux experience, with gaming and all, seems pretty close to fulfilling everyone needs at this point. But it would not surprise me if Microsoft goes around paying OEM manufacturers to not bundle anything but windows with their products.

GNU\Linux awareness is a good thing for everyone! If everone was aware; we would have better alternatives across the board.

We all know you love your OS and none of us care.

I care. I like hearing about it. Even when you make the wrong choice.

Older, out of support, nvidia drivers tend to break from time to time.

Why isn’t everyone using .7z ?
