I meant that devices purchased within the past 8 years or so have hevc decoding now. so even your grandmother who’s known for holding on to old tech most likely has something that will work with it.

just in the past year or two I’ve found that those devices have become common enough for incompatibility to be extremely rare. and the software support is far better within that timeline too. firefox had issues with it as of a few years ago, but it’s become pretty seamless on most browsers and devices.

compatibility with devices. it wasn’t long ago that many cheap TVs and such didn’t support hevc and required h264, or work on browsers, etc.

as others have mentioned mp4 with h264 is almost certainly the most compatible. that being said, I transcode everything to hevc if I can’t get it natively, and never have issues. my server literally cannot transcode. it does not have a GPU, and hevc plays natively on every target device I need. even works in browsers these days.

most people will still say h264 is best. but if you’re limited on storage space or want to optimize streaming bitrate hevc works wayyy better than it did even just 1 or 2 years ago.

agreed. even the internal lcds are starting to go with age. I’ve replaced a few in the past month without any physical damage. just decided their time has come I guess.

they’re all containerization programs yes. I believe they differ in some minor details but thanks to the OCI standards a image built with docker will run in podman or vice versa.

distrobox is a little more feature rich for development, meant for exposing services and are interactive by default, vs dockers run and forget methodology.

podman works well, docker is a little finicky due to some systemd weirdness and the whole immutability of it all.

it mainly tries to get you to use distroboxes which are awesome. you can even install something in a distrobox and expose it to the host.

if the hard links everyone else is mentionining aren’t feasible for you, take a look at tvnamer. I’ve found it works quite well for scanning and renaming files, it even supports custom renaming pattern and you can pass it a tvdb series id if it doesn’t automatically detect your series.

I use it cause all my torrenting is done on a different machine, and those files get transferred over to my server. so the arr suite isn’t the best solution for me

for now. I feel like it’s only a matter of time before they say those lifetime passes are expired, or that the product has changes so much it’s not valid, etc. they’ve proven they don’t really care about the user base anymore, it’s all about the money for them now unfortunately.

they’ll try to get bailed out but you would have to bail out so many companies it’s not feasible. you cant just bail out one of these companies. they all propped their stock value up on each other, so unless you bail out every company in the tech sector, there will still be trillions of market cap wiped out.

this is a good thing though. it will mostly only affect those who are overly invested in ultimately unprofitable tech, and the rest of us will be able to buy cheap stock for companies affected like Google and Amazon that will be hit massively but obviously are not just gonna go out of business. it’s similar to the covid drop. sucked for rich people but for the average person it wasn’t a massive issue and even had money making opportunities attached to it as these big companies scrambled.

massgrave.dev has you covered if windows throws a fit

is that a big pdu hes holding?

you guys are getting houses?

yes many do. I’m a college student and between classes and work 60 hours is pretty normal for most of us during the semester.

now once you add a social life, family, etc on top it becomes almost impossible pretty quick.

I think modern compilers do actually compile recursion to be equivalent with an iterative model.

edit: yes when possible they will compile to be iterative, but if it can’t be written iteratively it will be a series of calls and returns. depends on the specific type of recursion it looks like.

completely naked

fair enough. I would argue that without your own self-image you would not be able to decipher what a “good” act is. our sense of self is definitely entangled with our moral compass. but now we’re really getting into it haha.

hard question to answer, but I’d wager yes. there are still nice things we do that we know will never get noticed. maybe it’s buying a sandwich for the dude on the corner or making go fund me donations anonymous but I do think we all have some of those little things. at least for the people we love.

close, but it would actually be missing the codec in proton. bazzite actually comes with a very comprehensive ffmpeg build and all its dependencies.

steam just can’t include those proprietary libs in proton. luckily, protonge exists for this exact reason.

this is most likely an acpi issue. acpi is vendor specific and it’s hard to support every one. there are some work arounds, I’d see if there’s anything in dmesg and go from there. definitely annoying tho.

we’re in a thread about a script that can download and activate windows editions in place for free…
