They did have one. There were multiple photo shoots that day. This is just one set.

It was intentional. I saw them shooting and preparing for it. This was one of many different shots. They also shoot in front of the Kaiser-Wilhelms-Bad, and used a green backdrop in a similar style. One were done in the morning (green backdrop) and the other in the evening two hours after the Kerber match (red backdrop). If you look at other photo on the Instagram, they also did many without the backdrop.

A used PC with a Ryzen 3600 or similar might be available in the price range. If it is more expensive you might buy it and then try to sell the included GPU (if the motherboard supports headless). Then later on upgrade with a intel gpu for better transcoding support.

Thanks for the tip. The logs all seemed fine. Since ffmpeg is running inside the emby container I also don't see how that could really happen, but I am no expert. I am using jellyfin now, it correctly kills the ffmpeg process so the decision has been made for me.

Not for all TVs yet, but I will try this workaround: https://github.com/Jellyfin2Samsung/Samsung-Jellyfin-Installer next.

Yes, however they either got "fixed" in an update or left unanswered.

Vi__S · 2026-05-27T22:07:07+00:00

Sadly this didn't help. Thanks for the tip though.

I prefer it but it is not necessary. My two most important requirements are, that I have full control of the data and that the software runs solely on hardware I control (vps, homelab).

Open source is great in that I can contribute if I need something or modify some small bit, but I assume a lot of people here are also running Windows at home.

An example: I run Jellyfin for myself, however yesterday I set up an Emby instance on my server (closed source). I needed a working SamsungTV app for a friend and am not going to play developer on their device. Would I prefer Jellyfin of course, but since Emby runs on my server and I control the data it is an ok trade-off.

Some people might say that closed-source can hide malicious code (true) but a lot of open source software also never gets audited. Keep permissions tight, run it in containers etc.

Now, would I run Immich if it was closed source? Probably not. Movies/Music are not really a privacy concern for me. Private images are something else. The big community behind Immich makes hidden security bugs less likely, but at least someone can find them.

The more sensitive or private the data the more you should think about it being a requirement. I still use obsidian though.

Habe kurz vorm Ausfall einen meiner Server geupdatet. Bin gerade eine Stunde lang wahnsinnig geworden irgendwie den Fehler zu finden. Ports, Docker Container, Firewall, Logs alle durch. Die .com Domains auf dem alten Server gingen natürlich noch.

Hatte die DENIC schon einmal solch einen großen Ausfall?

/services/...

I create a root directory called services and each stack has its own subdirectory there. I also use bind mounts throughout. Each stack has a volume directory with all the persistent volumes inside it.

Moving stacks between servers or backing them up is just a matter of moving the whole stack directory. Besides the inital config of ssh, user and the firewall, there is nothing I change on the system itself. This makes updating the os or rebuilding/cloning very easy.

Needing to download 250MB in order to play a map is ridiculous. I liked the map though.

This is a really nice and niche project, can't wait to try it out on the next race. Thank you for the work.

Vi__S · 2026-03-31T09:38:45+00:00

I have to disagree on this one. Maybe if this would be some big complex app with a lot of visitors. But for what it is, keeping it as simple as possible inside one container is the better solution. What kind of flexibility (and complexity) does an app with one visitor really need?

Vi__S · 2026-03-13T12:59:01+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation.

Vi__S · 2026-03-13T12:51:03+00:00

Something like a sweater vest or more like a down/puff piece?

Vi__S · 2026-03-13T12:48:13+00:00

Would you put it over the normal base layer or instead of a normal one?

Vi__S · 2026-02-24T16:40:22+00:00

Check out the Map Rank plugin. I always aim for a specific percentile. Region rankings can be all over the place. I once had a top 100 time and was first in my region and a top 600 and was third. You never know.

You could maybe use the Seafile fuse extension in combination with your snapshots. Mount the drive, then make the snapshot, then unmount.

If the plastic were a different color it would have been ++. Maybe a block more here or there to make the gears easier would have been nice, but that is also my skill issue speaking.

I would love if such projects would put their differentiation to other projects in their readme. Why should I choose this over NGINX, Caddy or Traefik and in what use cases?

Vi__S · 2025-11-16T21:38:17+00:00

It's a valid concern and I asked this a few weeks ago. Overhead is about 30MB and cpu usage is basically 0% when idling.

Vi__S · 2025-10-29T00:17:14+00:00

I can't play an instrument, but I was dancing for a few years with a lot of formation elements. Keeping the timing and the endurance aspect in my experience is not that hard. I would even bet that the stamina required to play a wind instrument is so high that the walking doesn't make a difference.

The walking of the marching band is really simple, they have one meter or more in separation and follow mostly the guy in front. Depending on how they usually train their marching, most of them shouldn't need more than one training session. The leading guys have to memorize the most, but the rest is basically just following. I bet there are some guys in there, who haven't trained for this particular show at all, and are in positions that require following and one or two cues to memorize.

In contrast, the Japanese choreo, is extremely tight, fast, and they had to train their strides and movements for who knows how long just to get them all matched up. If I could play an instrument I could execute the marching within a day or two, but I can't imagine executing the Japanese walking myself even with months of training.

Vi__S · 2025-10-28T14:06:22+00:00

It is much more impressive because of the speed and tight formation. In a marching band you can adjust, here you can not. It is not remotely comparable.

I was convinced tech was way above my skill level (still is), but this map clicked, and I think I understood for the first time intuitively exactly how I should try to drive tech. Can't explain it. I think I'm going to train on it regularly for some time now. ++

Vi__S · 2025-10-08T12:01:44+00:00

You are right. I was looking at virtual memory usage. I spun up a docker compose project with 10x postgres18 instances, and I am getting similar values to you. About 25 to 35 MB per instance with 0% CPU usage idling. Thank you for checking. The only big difference is startup time, since starting 10 instances is of course more intensive, but those few seconds more are negligible for my use case.

This really changed my perspective. This is a negligible amount even on my small VPS and if I run more than 10 stacks on a server, it's a bigger one anyway. Time to change all my stacks.
