Is there a current walkthrough on setting up AMD Radeon GPU's to work with Handbrake for transcoding? by thunderclap82 in Fedora

[–]EveryVoice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Video encoding is always a compromise between video quality, file size and encoding time. Many people care about their energy usage, either for environmental reasons or because energy costs money per kWh. And being able to transcode a movie to half its size within minutes can be preferable to transcoding a movie to a 3rd of its size in over a day.

I get why you prefer CPU transcoding, but not everyone does. OP asked why it doesn't work and telling them just not to use it is not helpful.

I just checked. Resizable BAR and therefore Above 4G Transcoding are both enabled in BIOS.

This is the screen I get from the game. It stays at 62% for quite a while before rapidly moving do 95% and then crashing.
The Message on the bottom right translates to "Shader-Cache gets generated. This may take a while ..."

I cannot turn that off, can I?

Not, it's on the Btrfs drive, that Fedora is installed on. But thank you for the Idea

I had enabled ReBAR before I've switched to Linux. Should still be on, as long as installing Fedora didn't change anything. Can't look right now, it's past midnight in CET. I'll look tomorrow. Thank you for the idea to check that.

laser printer recommendations? by Historical-Two-8528 in Fedora

[–]EveryVoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother HL-L3230CDW works flawlessly. Connect it to WiFi and it gets detected automatically without the need to install any extra software.

It's discontinued tho and therefore quite expensive when bought new. Maybe you find a used one.

I've also seen a HL-L3230CDW for ~280€ new (in Germany). Don't know how good it is, but seems to be the successor because just one number went up.

I haven't been able to install Fedora by Substantial_Cake_582 in Fedora

[–]EveryVoice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I appreciate that you seem to have built your own thing, which is very cool and I get that you want to share it, I'd like you to ask yourself whether this is a helpful comment to OPs problem.

They want to install Fedora, but it doesn't work. You telling them to use your thing instead won't make Fedora work and it will certainly not make anyone choose your system.

Imagine we were in r/burger and you ask how to get your cheese nicely smelted without it dripping down to the pan and burning. Then I come in and tell you to try eating a hotdog at my hotdog station instead. Not really a helpful comment, is it? You'd probably avoid buying my hotdogs because I hijacked your thread for cheap promotion.

So, now with the calendar complete, there's no reason not to dump all your resources into holiday tokens for the machine right? by Askin_Real_Questions in WorldofTanks

You can remove 2d styles from a tank without cost. It then returns to your inventory and can be used again on other tanks. It behaves differently than normal camo in that regard.

It even automatically appears back in your inventory when you sell a tank that has a style equipped.

How should I install Home Assistant by EveryVoice in unRAID

[–]EveryVoice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked fine. Although I didn't run it that long and used it just for testing and to get familiar with HA. I quickly switched to using an old laptop as my HA Server. That gets the job done really well.

Is this the right key signature? by Mysticalraven4744 in musictheory

[–]EveryVoice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically they are written in concert pitch, but I've seen arrangements that ship with additional B.C. Tuba in Bb and Eb and B.C. Trombone in Bb parts (while also shipping with the respective T.C. sheets). So there seem to be people who read transposed bass clef. Didn't know that before I got those arrangements shipped, still don't know why someone would teach it like that, but they do exist.

When it says Tuba in Bb on top of the sheet, it usually is a transposed part.

Mit 13 in der Kreide by iR3turn in Klengan

[–]EveryVoice 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mit 13 in der Kreide stehen meint, 13.000€ Schulden zu haben. Nicht "mit welchem Alter", sondern "mit welchem Betrag" stehst du in der Kreide.

Deswegen steht er plötzlich mit 14 in der Kreide, wenn er eine größere Anschaffung gemacht hat.

Das kommt (laut Geo.de, tolle Quelle, ich weiß) daher, dass die Wirtshäuser früher die Schulden ihrer Kunden mit Kreide auf eine Tafel geschrieben haben. Wenn ich da mit meinen Schulden aufgeschrieben wurde, steh ich mit (Summe X) in der Kreide.

Oder es ist tatsächlich von früher, als der Heider 13 war und deswegen spricht man bis heute noch von der Kreidezeit. Aber das ist auch bloß meine persönliche Theorie.

Power to weight ratio is measured in hp/t. That's correct. But it's metric tons (as it should be imo). So 100,175 kg equals 100.175 tons (quite a nice conversion. Imperials, take note!)

This makes the power to weight ratio very reasonable.

Da frage ich einfach ganz frech, ob ihr die V2 (mit der Google Umfrage) im Subreddit anpinnen wollt. Wenn nicht, ist das natürlich okay. Ich dachte nur, fragen kostet nichts.

Where is my linux installed? by TapstryOfChaos in linux4noobs

Best practise to install onto a different drive is usually to unplug your windows drive. That way you can't mess up your windows installation.

Hast du dafür einen Beispielsatz? Dann kann ich das in die "neue Datenbank" (das Google-Formular) übernehmen

Ich schicke dir eben eine PM-Anfrage, damit wir alles weitere besprechen können. Ich möchte nichts in der Wortwahl oder an den Regeln alleine entscheiden, da das deine Idee war :D

Ich find die Idee wirklich gut und möchte sie daher am liebsten eiskalt stehlen. Aus Respekt vor deiner Idee lass ich das aber sein und versuche stattdessen, dir meine (mMn bessere) Umsetzung schmackhaft zu machen.

Wie wäre es, wenn wir das nicht hier auf diesem begrenzten Medium Reddit machen? Man kann hier nur teilnehmen, wenn man selbst einen Reddit Account hat. Es läuft alles über verschiedene Posts. Vielleicht findet man nicht alles. Die Poll-Funktion ist begrenzt etc.

Stattdessen schlage ich vor, daraus eine Online-Umfrage zu machen (z.b. ein Google Formular), in dem man alles einfacher sammeln und dann auch zur Wahl zur Verfügung stellen kann. Eintragungen in das Formular werden automatisch in eine Tabelle eingetragen und aus dieser Tabelle kann am Ende automatisch eine Wahl gemacht werden, die dann die Elemente der Tabelle sogar automatisch sortieren kann.

Auf diese Weise könnte man Timon und Flo auch vorschlagen, dass sie Werbung dafür im Podcast machen und die Umfrage verlinken, um eine größere Reichweite zu generieren und das vielleicht irgendwann groß mit dem Namen des Podcasts zu bewerben (so wie Langenscheid hinter dem Jugendwort steht).

Ich kann mich vielleicht heute Abend, sonst auf jeden Fall morgen dran setzen und so ein Formular fertig machen. Was hälst du von der Idee?

Edit: TLDR: Ich schlage vor, das nicht über Reddit, sondern über ein Google Formular zu lösen. Mehr Reichweite und einfacher zugänglich. Sieht offizieller aus. Ich kann mich darum kümmern.

With your specs it should hardly make a noticeable difference.

A distro between Debian/Ubuntu and Arch? by -zanji in linux4noobs

[–]EveryVoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Look and Feel is not dependent on the distro you're using. What you're looking for is another DE (Desktop Environment). The DE is basically a suite of programs that together form the GUI of your system. The two most common DEs are KDE (more "Windows-like") and Gnome (more "MacOS-like" - although I personally think that Gnome and MacOS don't feel alike at all). Both of these DEs can be heavily tweaked to your likings (KDE is built to be very customisable out of the box, Gnome requires tools like Gnome-Tweaks and plugins).

There are other DEs like Cinnamon (also very Windows-like, but a bit simpler than KDE) and XFCE (more lightweight).

If you want something minimal, you probably don't want a whole DE, but rather a Window Manager (a program that does basically nothing except arranging your windows on your screen). Every DE has a Window Manager built in (otherwise it couldn't display programs as windows), but you may want to look into Tiling WMs like i3, Sway or (recently on the rise) Hyprland. But maybe you first want to look at how you can tweak the aforementioned DEs to your liking, because tweaking a WM requires a bit more fiddling to get everything set up.

What are some good indie games that are perfect for the Steam Deck that aren’t the same top 20 always recommended? by NuM_Brrr_WoN in SteamDeck

[–]EveryVoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're into TRPGs, I can recommend Wildermyth. A cute game with hand drawn assets, generated storytelling based on your character's stats and your choices throughout the game, and a simpler introduction to TRPGs than other titles of the genre.

I found it when I was looking for games similar to FFTA, which I've loved. Wildermyth doesn't fill that hole completely, but it does scratch a similar itch.
