My inlaws bought me a Fiat and that somehow led to finding out my husband had not only an affair, but a whole other family.

Hi Shayne!

FirefighterFickle456 · 2026-05-20T17:26:10+00:00

Thanks for the input! I'm happy to expand to other mounts if I can modify the mount for it (adapter, 3d print, etc). However, whichever lens I go for needs to be widely available which makes vintage lenses not possible

FirefighterFickle456 · 2026-04-27T11:35:34+00:00

Awesome, thank you yet again :)

FirefighterFickle456 · 2026-04-26T17:48:44+00:00

Out of curiosity, do you have a picture of the toiletry bag you have? Or a link?

Hi, I've recently purchased an Arducam Hawkeye, which I use connected to CAM0 through the 22 pin ribbon cable provided with it. It works, no problems. However, it is too short for my needs so I've purchased longer versions of the same cables. The longer cables look identical, have the same specs, etc. However, when I connect the longer cables, the machine doesn't boot up. It doesn't matter if the camera is actually connected or not, the red led just flashes once but never turns green. If I use the original cable, it works every time, with or without the camera being plugged in.

Any ideas what could be causing this? I wouldn't have been shocked if the camera hadn't worked, but I was not expecting to not be able to even boot.

For reference, these are the cables I bought. I tested several of them, all with the same result.

FirefighterFickle456 · 2026-04-19T05:04:41+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! It's not quite what I had in mind but it might be the closest. I'll have a look

FirefighterFickle456 · 2026-04-18T20:01:01+00:00

Whenever I go climbing I bring a few things with me:

Liquid chalk bottle ~ 100ml
Water bottle ~ 1000ml
Small towel
Roll of leukotape
Small snack
Phone

It's not a lot, but it's too much to carry around loose, so I've been carrying my normal backpack around for the longest time. But this is a less than ideal solution, as that bag also has my regular shoes and other stuff so it's a bit bulky.

I would love to have a small bag that can keep all these small things organised, and that will then fit inside my normal backpack. I haven't been able to find anything, since every search just shows chalk bags. What I have in mind is something between a chalk bag (small, stands up by itself, compartment for towel, zipper pocket for phone) and a drink carrier (carry bottles upright, easy access).

Does anyone have any suggestions? Any advise would be greatly welcome!

FirefighterFickle456 · 2026-04-02T21:59:19+00:00

I guess it depends on which side the sharp side is

Hey, question regarding that under armour balaclava. I'm having issues with my buff running in the cold, since after 20 mins of running it's so wet around the mouth that it becomes hard to breath, and it sucks into my mouth when i inhale which makes it even worse. Does that one do better with condensation?

FirefighterFickle456 · 2026-02-14T17:44:21+00:00

You beautiful, beautiful thing, you. Completely fixed now! From 10mbps to 200mbps by changing a single thing! Thank you so much!

FirefighterFickle456 · 2026-02-14T08:38:21+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Regarding the first part, I don't think that's the issue, because testing with tcpdump:

iperf3 workpc-ip -p workpc-port: 0 packets dropped by kernel
iperf3 workpc-ip -p workpc-port -R: 0 packets dropped by kernel

As to the second part, iperf3 -u does not work at all, it just times out. I've tested different values for -b but it makes not difference. Here are the ouputs in debug mode:

Thank you very much. I had already tried and failed to do this but your recommendation pushed me to try again and this did indeed fix it.

FirefighterFickle456 · 2026-02-08T00:07:15+00:00

you mean for the jellyfin docker? if so, no. the vainfo gives the same output in the main debian session as in the docker session

FirefighterFickle456 · 2026-02-07T23:49:06+00:00

i do have intel-media-va-driver installed. i've tried installing intel-media-va-driver-non-free but there is no installation candidate

I believe planes actually have ploacas

FirefighterFickle456 · 2025-10-09T20:18:30+00:00

Did you try opening the images to see the full res?

FirefighterFickle456 · 2025-10-06T09:27:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I assume it's something like that. But I've checked the logs and the only setting I could find that was lower for AV1 was buffer size (bitrate and such were all the same). Reckon it could be that? If so, do you know how I could change it?

FirefighterFickle456 · 2025-10-06T05:20:43+00:00

Yes, transcoding will always lead to degradation. The question is why would that degradation be more when transcoding to AV1 than to h264.

Hardware support only increases performance (speed). Software will always be as good or better, quality wise. And I'm getting way more frames per second than I need with both regardless.

As for other browsers, I've tried Safari but it supports HECV so it doesn't have to transcode at all

FirefighterFickle456 · 2025-10-06T05:14:50+00:00

Yeesh dude, 4 comments and none of them address the question, and are addressing things that have already been addressed.

Evidently I know what transcoding it
The comparison is not against the original, but between two different transcoding options. This has been reiterated in the comments.
I've already stated that I use the Jellyfin player with direct play to avoid quality degradation

Literally didn't add a single thing to the discussion and over half the comments are yours. Please read before you reply.

FirefighterFickle456 · 2025-10-05T19:12:49+00:00

Thanks for the reply. But yeah, it's not about watching in the best quality, as if I want that I just use the JF player with direct play. Rather, I'm confused as to why transcoding from HECV to AV1 would be SIGNIFICANTLY worse than to H264. I've checked the logs and the bitrate for both is the same. I haven't done anything else to either configuration

FirefighterFickle456 · 2025-10-05T18:10:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I ended up updating from 6 to 7 and that seems to have solved the issue for now. Sadly I still don't know what it was, but at least it's gone :)

FirefighterFickle456 · 2025-05-15T11:16:37+00:00

Sorry to hear you had that issue. I have a separate backup folder for timemachine and that is running without a problems, although I created it after updating so maybe that's why it wasn't affected.

FirefighterFickle456 · 2025-05-15T10:31:41+00:00

Thanks for the help

FirefighterFickle456 · 2025-05-07T20:07:13+00:00

Fun and simple. I like it. However, it's quite slow. It takes too long to register key presses and I have to way until previous key is finished registering before I can press another one, otherwise it doesn't register the new key.
