  • Alternatives to Roku/AppleTV for Jellyfin Client

    Jump

  • As many as most GPUs without all the extra cost and power draw. Nvidia sets a transcode limit of 2 sessions unless you disable it. You really shouldn't ever be transcoding 4k content. Most people will duplicate 1080p and 4k content and not share the 4k library for remote streaming/external users to avoid transcoding, and 1080p transcodes are no sweat. Furthermore, the goal should be to avoid transcoding wherever possible, so it's unlikely that you'd have multiple people doing intensive transcoding simultaneously if you follow the above advice. You'll want everyone to direct play as much as possible.

  • Airport face scans could replace boarding passes and check-in as soon as 2028

  • Yeah if I'm quick enough getting my shoes off so we're all together, I can go through the metal detector with my wife and kid since they almost always let the kid and parents use that over the mmWave machine.

  • The workers were able to see your genitals, they just claim that they don't now but we have no real evidence to confirm that.

  • Clear was kinda bullshit, and how it was cost effective to have agents "selling" you on the service at the airport.

    Is bullshit. They're expanding it. I was in the Orlando airport a few months ago waiting in the long ass TSA lines while Clear employees went to everyone in line offering a free trial and "you don't have to wait in this line." It's fucking insane that the government can create these delays with the TSA and then goad people into signing up for an expensive service with a private company to bypass the very problem that they created. Says a lot about the "security" too when you can just skip it by ponying up a little bit of cash.

  • I don't know how Kodi still goes on for this long. I messed around with it over a decade ago and had all the same issues back then.

  • And it runs Google services, and it costs a fortune, and it hasn't seen a refresh in 6 years.

  • If they have a 5th gen or newer Intel CPU, Quicksync will work excellently for transcoding. No discrete GPU needed.

  • Boarding passes and check-in could be scrapped in air travel shake-up

    Jump

  • Yeah anyone who travels with children.

  • How do I securely host Jellyfin? (Part 2)

    Jump

  • Don't use Mullvad for torrenting. They're a great VPN but they had to remove port forwarding so you'll be unable to torrent properly. AirVPN is an alternative that still has port forwarding available.

  • How are you preparing for the recession?

    Jump

  • Like in 2007, a US recession can easily lead to a global recession so I wouldn't be so quick to think this will be isolated to the US.

  • How do I host Jellyfin in the most secure manner possible?

    Jump

  • I can't answer your question as I rely on Plex rather than fooling around with my own security, but I'd suggest reconsidering the Pi and a microSD to host Jellyfin. Neither one of these are a good fit unless you plan on sticking to very specific audio and video codecs to avoid all transcoding and your upload speeds are capable of serving the full bitrate of your files. Beyond that, SD cards are terrible for this kind of task and you'd be much better served with an SSD as your boot/data drive for robustness. I can't even count the number of failed SD cards I've had over the years.

  • Do you reduce your WiFi Router's Transmit Power

    Jump

  • While you may be able to turn up the transmit power on the router, remember that devices have to be able to transmit back that same distance so you may have mixed results.

  • MAGA clown sees her retirement disappearing (more in comments)

    Jump

  • I got a STEM degree that didn't require any financial classes. I learned all that on my own once I started making adult money at nearly 30. I see (quite a lot of) others in my same boat who didn't bother and are making six figures while living paycheck to paycheck still. The last round of layoffs were quite a shock to these people.

    I'll give big credit to my parents who also never saved a dollar and gave me the fire inside to never allow myself to wind up in the same position after seeing the disastrous results of said decisions.

    Edit: funny that a CJ degree is mentioned as my aunt and her (trash of a human being) prison guard husband took out a $500k loan to remodel their $250k house. They got divorced last year and still can't sell that house. He lives in Florida now and she moved into a trailer park.

  • Why can't California and New York make their own medicare for all?

    Jump

  • But Cali and New York do not reap the tax revenue of a country with the GDP of their size; they can only reap part of it, both because Federal taxes remove a portion of that taxable income

    I'd love to see people like Newsome, Kotek, Ferguson, and Hochul grow some balls and start co-opting Trumps rhetoric on these trade deficits but with federal taxes instead. Currently most blue states pay more to the federal government than they receive and those dollars that they do receive are just returning the very tax revenue they sent out but with Trump's ridiculous conditions tacked on. He currently has his base of useful idiots talking about how uninhibited islands like the Mcdonald Islands are "ripping us off" so they should strike while the iron is hot and threaten to seize federal tax revenue generated from the workers and industries in their respective states just the same. If Trump is going to gut every federal office and program that actually impacts people's lives, what are we even sending them money for?

  • Yeah Dems say they want this stuff on TV, but when push comes to shove, they do whatever they can to prevent it from actually passing. Case in point was the ACA where they bailed on the single payer option in order to maintain the private insurance scheme with a plan written by Mitt Romney. They claimed they did this to "reach across the aisle" and gain Republican support but they had a super majority and didn't need Republican support. Zero Republicans voted to support this plan.

  • I'm a simple man, so I'll say Las Vegas airport because I can vape, drink, and gamble inside the terminal while waiting for our plane.
