    Does jellyfin do untranscoded video/audio?

    Haven’t used it in years but finally building up my media server again and I remember it had some funky settings for hardware encoding back then which I didn’t need because I was connecting to it via a repurposed gaming laptop that could easily handle 4k content and surround sound by itself.





  • Lol nah, they might be generally well designed, but they’ve been making it all in China (until now for tariff bypass) for decades now, so you don’t get the Japanese OEM quality shine you usually get out of other electronics.

    Most of the repair will be for damaged consoles. Switch 1 battery lasted pretty well considering most phone batteries begin to deteriorate around 4 years.

    Aside from that though, I expect the joycon drift issue to be unfixed which will be the real issue, especially as warranties expire.








  • Ubuntu, and the experience was crap lol.

    Then I got to try Debian on a server and it was much nicer.

    Then I saw Torvalds uses Fedora, and given that he also disliked Debian and Ubuntu for their lack of end user ease, I switched and have been happy ever since.

    Seriously though, GNOME 40 really should not be the default DE. It made me think Linux UI was years behind Windows when it was actually the opposite with proven DEs like XFCE, KDE, and GNOME 3/2 etc.




  • People should see any of those videos of 3rd world countries repairing and refurbishing industrial technology on the street with their bare hands. I even remember someone commented that back in the days of the USSR, they used to salvage the solder off old and broken components too.

    The sad thing is, many of these people end up with health issues due to lack of any protection or health standard, yet they also provide a superior service and product that you will never find in a first world country due to the industry opting to trash and buy new.

    I’ve personally had to junk a radiator because the cheap plastic at the end broke, and no OEM actually sells the plastic part because it only comes as a whole assembly, even though you can easily delid the radiator to replace it if the subpart could be bought or made.
