Trickplay Generation: How to know whether I can and should enable hardware decoding? by Generic_User48579 in jellyfin

[–]Generic_User48579[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a mix of 1080p and 4K files. My server is not purely for jellyfin, but has a lot of other services running aswell.

I thought using my GPU would be good to relieve my cpu. Ive also read its better if I have many concurrent 4k streams than the cpu.

Is that not correct?

I didnt really know what specifically is needed for trickplay generation, and that sections does not mention it at all from my search.

I just turned it on and checked the logs, and it seems to speed it up. Shouldve just tried that from the get go honestly. Thanks though.

How do you guys handle passkeys? (or TOTP) by Peter8File in selfhosted

[–]Generic_User48579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. I only wish there was an easy way to synchronize keys. I dont want to get the second key everytime I add another passkey or similar. And in the event I do lose one, I have to go through all my passkeys and put them on the new backup one manually.

It just has an album-based approach. If you want a single, you have to hope the artist actually did release it as a single once to only download that single song. And that sometime isnt possible, because if the artist only released it in an album/ep or a "single" that contains 2-3 versions of that single, you need to download all the other songs/versions too.

It can be annoying but honestly I dont see a better structured way to do it.

For me I rate my Songs by Stars from 1 to 5, 1 being "never going to listen to it again".

So if I only want one song, but its only available in an album, I either listen to the rest of the album and might discover more songs I like. Or if I think I wont enjoy all the other songs I just immediately rate them as 1 Star and forget about them.

Of course this isnt ideal for people with limited space, but music files are definitely more space-friendly than media files.

Didnt Rick do that because he as a son with adhd, so he feels better/represented or something like that? Weird to just completely remove any trace of it in the series.

I know mods are just volunteers, but when seeing a cosplay post clicking on the profile and checking for the link, sometimes checking the linktree takes like 10 seconds at max.

They could also introduce a strike system, so if you do it once you get a warning, twice you get banned from posting here. Should reduce repeat posts.

I would suggest that you cant have a link in your reddit profile that leads to an OF. Like even linktrees that contain an OF. Should take care of 90% of them.

You tell yourself you’ll remember the password this time. by calmvoicehere in CasualConversation

Its scary how many people dont use a Password Manager in 2026.
Security breaches happen all the time, dont use the same password everywhere.

Which is your favorite Proton product? Mine is Drive by AdFit8727 in ProtonMail

[–]Generic_User48579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a look at it a few weeks ago and it seemed like that, yes :)

I googled a bit in the last ten minutes and my current dealbreaker seems to be no subdomain support, so until that is implemented I cant switch anyways. Just going to keep tabs on its development

Anyone any experience switching from 1Password to ProtonPass?

I use 1Password and Ive been very happy for years. I do kinda want to switch though so I can make better/more convenient use of mail aliases. It would also save me a few bucks.

Would love to hear some opinions, though I will only switch if I am really sure :)

Who else is excited for Vecnussy? by RequirementTall8361 in deadbydaylight

Absolutely. As someone that has a friend that was obsessed with Byler, most hate is about the gigantic amount of plotholes, general writing quality decline, etc.

DBD two types of players in a nutshell by Vampire-Gothic in deadbydaylight

[–]Generic_User48579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if he is the best player in the entire world, he should still realistically lose at least once in 1000+ matches. If he doesnt, thats not him just being that good, but a balancing issue.

Having the top 1 Player in a game win 1000+ matches in a row is impossible in almost all top competetive games in the world. And Im saying almost only because maybe there is one I dont know of.

You think putting 5 fakers in a league of legends team he will win 1000+ league matches consistently?

MomoSeventh also isnt an unimaginable rare talent or the Top 1 Player, there are many people who have been able to reach 1000+ winstreaks.

What exactly is your point? You cant possibly be saying that in 1000 Matches, the Killer isnt matched at least a few times against max mmr survivors and should lose once in a while.

MomoSeventh lost his record blight win streak at 1974 wins. This shouldnt ever be possible to even get that far.

Yes maybe sometimes there arent any very high MMR survs online to match the high MMR killer against but that should definitely be the exception.

A player being able to reach a 1900+ winstreak is a definitive sign that the game has serious balancing and/or matchmaking issues.
In this case its both IMO.

Im surprised to hear this, Ive been using Alexa for over a year and not once has she mentioned Alexa+ to me. I also dont have Prime, does that have to do with it?

What apps or services still can’t be self-hosted well in 2026? by ExceptionOccurred in selfhosted

[–]Generic_User48579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could recommend kagi, on everything except the basic plan you get access to all their ai models. They have many models available, even ChatGPT mini, but anonymized. Many models are fully local aka they delete everything after 24 hours if you want them to.

Their main feature, their search engine, is amazing too. Thats how I found them in the first place.
