I’ve been using Technitium for about 3 years and I’m with you.
Whenever I think I get it, I search for the solution to a problem I’m having and see the developer respond and feel like I get less than half the things in the explanation. My setup definitely works and it has never failed me… but there are a lot of things where I don’t understand why at all and yeah I am also using maybe 10% of the options available. I’m not sure I’ll ever get past the intimidating phase.
Even just maybe… gaseous oxygen could be interesting.
How big would the drop in atmospheric pressure actually be at ground level? I don’t know how to calculate that beyond… feels like lower than 20%, but could whatever number still be enough to induce barotrauma? How do we apply that potential change in atmospheric pressure to the ocean and tides, and how bad is that sudden shift, massive tsunamis or just slightly higher tides? I feel like a lot of measuring equipment would be fucked for a bit, how bad could it be if every altimeter/barometer/etc was unreliable for 5 seconds? Effect on contained systems feels more predictable, I know nitrogen inflation is a thing you can get in some places, but most are just air, feels like a 20% drop in tire pressure worldwide for 5 seconds is going to have to cause a spike in road accidents.
Would the increased radiation be enough to create a global sterilizing affect for important bacteria/etc and what’s the worst that could happen there?
What happens if every combustion engine in use stops working for 5 seconds? How much does that affect power plants/our energy infrastructure?
There’s lot of industrial applications, I know that welding and steel production can require pure oxygen. Medical and research applications too. How bad is it if the oxygen supply on all of those worldwide fails suddenly?
Latency is not 0 like op suggests but he’s not entirely wrong about the latency comparison to modern displays (at a technical level for your average modern display). You are still correct that the numbers are so low typically that it’s not an issue for… 99.9% of people. Probably more, we might want to add a lot more 9s to the end.
If we’re talking to someone like a top competitive street fighter player though, I’m super interested in how they feel about CRTs vs modern displays. Note that this is also a different conversation if you’re on a TV that doesn’t have some sort of a Game Mode, those can be rough.

Are you trying to serve higher than 1080p? I have heard that 4k can be rough, but I avoid that personally because it also dramatically limits the amount of media I can store. Not sure of your actual bandwidth, but the raw bandwidth required on regular 1080p streams should be relatively light while utilizing modern codecs and you can also limit the per-stream bandwidth in your remote access settings.
I’m in the US, but I have pretty shit upstream bandwidth and I’ve served 7 people at once before. It pushed it a bit, but plex managed it. If you are doing 4k content though, yeah, that’s going to be rough with anything and I have no good advice.
There are some cluster based experiments with Plex, but they’re mostly focused on distributing transcoding. There’s also a lot of projects around clustering locally with kubernetes/etc but I think that would be painful with your setup. Closest option I can think of is jellyswarrm with multiple discrete servers ‘swarmed’ together, this is also super beta and very new. You’d have to combine it with something to move files between the local servers, it’s going to be weird.
Why do you feel like you need more than one media server? A singular server can serve quite a lot of content for a good sized quantity of people.
I mean, we’ve all known variations of this guy. He’s got some batshit crazy ideas and it’s amazing he’s not in a mental ward for something but damn if he’s not a good hang.
Curious about your problem. I’m using NFS instead of samba now, but legitimately never faced any problems doing what you’re describing previously.
I think what’s happening now is the revolution for the most part, this might be what those citizens would be pushing for. It’s hard to find objective data on ‘popularity of the taliban in afghanistan’, but you can find a thousand articles on how unpopular every other possible idea has been there. The Taliban are seen as the only option for stability and security for some in the region. There are still protests against the taliban going on, but the numbers are kinda scary when you compare it to the size of the Taliban forces…
Have to remember that priorities as to what constitutes a successful society can be radically different in other countries and sometimes it feels very unhinged and short sighted.
They’re still super common in the enterprise space. If you leave your house, you’ve probably interacted with an android tablet based payment kiosk super recently. Several restaurants near me have devices they use for digital signage at every table that are really just android tablets. There’s this great sushi place near me that has like 4 different types for signage/payment/ordering and they don’t even put them in weird cases to hide that it’s a tablet. Most restaurants using door dash/GrubHub/ubereats will likely have an android tablet for it, maybe even a separate one for each. Lots of other uses in spaces where a basic computing device is needed but the expense of an iPad or standard computer doesn’t make sense.
This is one of those things where the likely reason you don’t see a lot of entries as far as DIY goes is that the expense of creating the tooling required to make specific pieces properly is so high that it doesn’t make sense unless you’re going to create a lot of them.
I’m not an expert at aluminum machining at all, but I have commissioned some very small custom pieces. From what little I have had done, I’d expect replicating the pieces for something equivalent to that to be very expensive and unless you’re very lucky, you’ll probably have to make at least a few pieces more than once to account for tolerances/etc.
Not saying it’s entirely cool, but wow base game purchase usually includes all expansions except the latest nowadays and that rolls (you get newer ones as more expansions are released) if you had an account historically.
That’s interesting because they’ve tried to do this several times now and when they tried a few years ago no one found it exciting so it ended up dropped.
I’ve got one on 537 days right now, it’s at 92.4%.
It’s basically lost media otherwise. Every few months, some extra pieces show up and I see some progress… I really wonder about where its coming from. There’s usually 6-8 of us on it and I’ve never caught anyone with 100% online.
You’re facing down an unpopular opinion, but it’s mostly because you’re also obviously purposefully pretending that you don’t understand the real issue because I assume you’re trolling, bored, or maybe just a shitty person.
You’re presenting it as ‘kids shouldnt watch porn’ but completely ignoring the implications to individual liberty.
You do kind of have to buy into it. Most of the engagement of the story is locked behind the various options there, and it can really be surprisingly good beyond the adult content.
Maybe don’t explore anything that’s a full on ick, but I would second that, if there’s something you’re at least neutral on I’d recommend giving it another shot.
Jolla is definitely interesting, but search around, there are caveats.
One notable thing is that until pretty recently they were on a subscription model for OS updates, that turned a lot of people off. I get the need for continued funding, but definitely not something I’d want to deal with on my phone.
Also, for me personally, my phone is partially for work too so it needs to be compatible with that or else I honestly probably don’t really even need a phone. Jolla has some preliminary support there, but there’s no way it could pass our requirements for MDM compliance at my company and I doubt it would for most others. There are things that are non-optional there in relation to audit requirements that a lot of very different companies all have to comply with and it’s just not compatible with the idea. That’s probably going to be the major sticking point for any smaller players trying to break into the mobile market.
I might consider a Jolla tablet if they gave it another shot, but we do have a lot more options in the linux non-phone portable space.
It looks like if you purchase the Tuta low end premium plan (~3.50 USD / month) you can use a custom domain and that could help you out with switching around in the future, but yeah it doesn’t help you today if you’re on an @gmail.com address.
Gmail (as a service) is definitely one of those that is really hard to replace once you’ve bought in.
You have your file associations set incorrectly or at least not optimally right now. NFO files are text only files that usually tell you about what you just downloaded, your system is set to treat them as something else and did the wrong thing. Text only files are usually harmless.
I thought it was just the one, but apparently he’s up to 3 sexual assault cases including a rape case where he lost the case and the appeal (in civil court). Looks like at least 3 regular old assault cases too, along with some dangerous driving cases thrown in for kicks.
Exercise, have a salad for dinner sometimes, be careful who you date and keep friends you can trust to tell you when you’re fucking up.
Meaning can be found in pain and we all face that.
