40 year old me, blowing cold air out of my mouth to feel like a dragon.

I made a Handbrake profile with the settings i wanted, and used the “bulk add” function to add entire shows to the queue.

The media lives on the network, my desktop does the heavy lifting, and saves the resulting video to the hard drive. Then I copy everything back to the network.

It’s not terribly efficient, but I couldn’t get tdarr to work, so this works for me. Going forward, i just have to make sure my sonarr settings are on point

Biggest problem with this is the inverse square law.

Notice: The numbers from the example are pulled out of my ass, but the concept is there.

Basically, if you double the distance (x2) from source and receiver, available power will be 25% (x0.25). If you triple the original distance (x3) then available power will be 10% (x0.10) (Not the real math, but it’s along the line)

If you can pump out enough EM to cover all areas you’ll need, but not so much that it’ll fry devices closer to the source, I don’t see why you couldn’t get this to work in theory. I just wouldn’t want to pay the power bill required to overcome the EM field drop-off.

I graduated high school in 03, a few months/years into the “no child left behind” bullshit. The last week of school, meathead asks, out loud, “why do people read”.

Almost ten years later and that dude has never had a job longer than three months. This. This is why people read…

Edit: i had a friend in highschool who passed away a few years ago, so I only know his employment status from highschool, up to the funeral. Deleted Facebook soon after

My parents served as an example of “what not to do”.

I made a personal vow years ago, that i would never be what my dad was to me, to anybody else…

If you listen to this post closely, you can actually hear the fellatio.

McDonald’s tried replacing order-takers (don’t know what they call them) with AI, and it couldn’t even do that…

Plus, planes already have dozens of safety systems that warn real pilots of dangers, they just don’t have enough control to take over flying the plane, which is good. If the lane keeping system on my car is any indication, computers are only as good as the environment sensors attached. When my car thinks I’m doing something wrong, like driving on a street with no curbs and shitily painted yellow lines, the steering wheel vibrates like Doug. Doug is my vibrator…

I’ve heard rumors that they do play well together, but that’s people running it in docker with a “read-only” flag set for the content folder, with metadata saved in the config folder

I’ve used the Jellyfin app to listen to audio books, but for my purposes, it’s easier to run the separate client/server Audiobookshelf.

I remember playing Blue so much as a kid, I would hear the MIDI based music whenever I closed my eyes.

So glad we finally have the room on the carts for different music for each region/dungeon/route, but there something quaint about only having a half-dozen musical bits per game.

Yeah, even Googles own operating system.

I was trying to see if I could sync my entire Calibre ebook library to my kobo, so i googled it. The dumbass AI result told me to hit the “sync library” button, that doesn’t friggin exist…

Dang, I just realized I didn’t explain the setup well enough:

An old laptop runs the Jellyfin server, but the Pi runs the reverse proxy. For some reason, trying to use the reverse proxied address causes problems, but connecting directly to the laptop via IP address and port runs fine.

I tried a Jellyfin server with a pi 2 or 3 and it couldn’t serve more than one client at a time. So i imagine a zero wouldn’t even be able to load the app, much less serve anything :/

My main reason for running my DNS/ad block/nginx through the zero, sometimes the laptop goes down, freezes, or fails to clear the transcodes folder, so having that stuff separate keeps at least part of the network running.

If I trusted the battery tech more, I would use an old phone. But I’ve had one of those white plastic Mac books hooked up to power so long, the battery swelled out of its enclosure :/

Maybe there’s a way to disconnect the battery, or an app that switches off charging, so it drains enough to keep that from happening

Oh nice! I’d love to run an ad blocker/dns/reverse proxy on something with a little more beef than the Pi zero I’ve got now.

Jellyfin and or Pi zero does not like streaming through the video.local address I’ve got setup, so i have to use IP address to get anything without stuttering.

Damn, didn’t know he died. The headline should be:

Omega factor artist Tomoharu Saito lost a leg, and then his life, due to working on the game

For me, it was the lack of support for certain Wi-Fi cards. I had to pull an older Wi-Fi card out of an old Chromebook, because no flavor of Linux supported the card that came with the (Windows 11) laptop. And guess who has two thumbs and no Ethernet port…

Finally got it working, but at one point i was almost willing to have a USB tether to my phone, just so i wouldn’t have to fight with windows anymore.

Edit: Just realized it said desktop, but my desktop also has Wi-Fi, i just haven’t had the courage to switch fully from my Spectre Win 10 install…

“Just Jeeves it” doesn’t quite roll off the tongue…
