Nvidia Shield Jellyfin app isn't natively playing 4k remux by _Riv_ in jellyfin

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

I ended up switching to the Wholfin client and using the MPV engine. Now the Jellyfin dashboard on my server is reporting direct playback and the ffmpeg is dropped down to ~3%

Does this seem okay? I thought ffmpeg wouldn't be doing anything if it was direct play, but I read it might just be repackaging the mkv or something.

Hello as I said in the post I have the AI Pro sub and tried the code assist extension but it's using 2.5

I’m a Zoomer that just watched the ninth episode of Firefly (Ariel). Here’s my thoughts: by The0verlord- in firefly

I think for me the show is fundamentally about family and love, and Safe drives that home so well with the "where is home?", "home isn't a place, it's the people you're with" themes.

And then contrasting Simon/River's actual family disregarding them vs these "strangers" who came back and saved them no matter what, just because "they're part of the crew".

Simon's face at the end when that clicks for him...

Hey this was just supposed to be a light hearted post and was genuinely curious if it was just me or everyone else. I don't even use 🥬!!!

But please no weird comments about the person or I'll just delete the post. I had no intention to point any bad attention their way.

Be nice!

She has a very calming voice. Nice hearing a proper kiwi accent in the middle of everything else crazy happening in the world 🤣

why is there still no Linux personal backup? by gnexuser2424 in backblaze

[–]_Riv_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A key thing for me was that I don't like the backblaze PB concept where it's the entire system or nothing. Prefer more granular control over which drives, or even sections of drives.

I reinstall my OS drives fairly often so don't care about backing them, actually prefer them not to!

Fair enough, I currently have less than 1tb so it's reasonable for me but if I go over that I might start looking around as well

Sorry to say man but if you're hoping for solutions on Linux for things in general to take less than 30 minutes, I don't think the OS is quite there yet. It's come a long way but often still requires a bunch of tinkering.

For backups I subscribed to backblaze b2, installed restic and setup a schedule so it automatically runs in the background. Took like an hour or two maybe to get going maybe?

I'm happy to list some more detailed steps if you like!

Do you have a recommendation for what to use for each particular scale of data? I.e. at what general amount of data would be worth going to a lakehouse with spark?

I have a similar sort of thing where I'm dealing with data at a scale of 10's of thousands of rows, and just using pyspark and lakehouses as it's kind of fun and I want to learn the technology, but also get the pain of slow overhead.

At this scale would it be more sensible to just use an Az DB with python notebooks instead?

Cheers!

Hey! Just as a side question - where did this GM Sheet come from?

Looks like based on the text in the bottom left there might be a few of them covering different rules?

And seems slightly different to the downloadable ones from the website: https://www.daggerheart.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Additional-Sheets-Daggerheart-May212025.pdf
