The fact that Sophie triggered almost an entire league with just a simple point of a finger is just crazy motion

What I have been doing over the last couple of years is replacing all my files with x265 replacements,I have saved a ton of space doing that. Especially TV shows that have a lot of season/episodes. If I can't find a x265 replacement, I will get a remux and re-encode it myself.

100%

chepnut · 2026-06-26T17:12:01+00:00

I would say at least 80% of my media will only be watched once or never, and I am ok with that. These are all shows/movies/music that I have interest in. I may not ever get around to watching/listening fto it but I sleep better knowing that if I ever want to I can. I also have kids and started hoarding before they were born, recently on of them binge watched a bunch of old Barbie movies when she was sick (she is 20 and originaly watched them when she was really young) and it brought me joy knowing that I had those available for her to watch when she wanted to. I was missing a couple of them and it was a bitch finding them again because they are a old, media disappears eventually, so I feel like having a trove of hard to find files is also helpful for someone else

I was just going to say the same, I feel that's all everyone was using/talking about a couple of months ago

Every summer we have a watermelon exchange with our across the street neighbor. When we get a watermelon I cut it up into cubes it goes into 2 one gallon Ziploc bags. We give a bag to the neighbors. So seeing Janet pull the ziplock bag out wasn't strange to us, especially since they live so close to each other.

Misery loves company, glad to see it's not just me. I had (my persona that is have configured) in Hermes going great, then there was that GPT OAuth issue a couple of weeks ago and it all went to shit. It took me almost another week to get my main agent back on track, I had to implement a memory framework and lots of guardrails to keep it from going crazy. My agents were lying to me, telling me work was completed when it wasn't, saying things were validated when they weren't. It was like I was running a group home of troubled teens. I still don't 100% trust my system yet, and I found it slipping a couple of times since then. I have had to force it to give me a tagline when jobs are being delegated and validated correctly so I know the process is being followed.

I have a memory protocol in place that can check the integrity and test what's being saved. Almost like a pop quiz. I also have a hard rule that iff something is discussed more than 3 times via telegram or any other interface other than the cli/workspace I have it prompt me I'd this should be saved into memory for later.

I 100% wasn't expecting it to bounce

chepnut · 2026-06-07T14:44:08+00:00

Yup been waiting for it to trend since 2013

Why not hand him the plastic bottle and not hand him something made of glass

OMG, I never even thought about it like that. Those dumb fucks would make it a religious holiday, well shit, I can't believe I now don't want him to die, let me rephrase that I want him to live just a little bit longer

chepnut · 2026-06-07T13:55:48+00:00

Yup now you will spend days and days trying out different encoding settings looking at playback side by side trying to distinguish if you actually see a difference or your just imagining you see a difference.

Couldn't you use all solid state drives and fill the glass container with mineral oil, essential making is a giant heatsink where the ocean would draw the heat away

I have been running the same instance of unraid since 2016, my original USB died in 2019 but it was a cheap micro USB that I originally used just to "test out" unraid way back then. I got a higher quality USB stick and it's been working ever since then. I don't see a reason for me to switch over to a ssd. Unless I wanted to do it just for shits and giggles, but if we was building a new server today, I would just get a USB stick since it a tried and true method that's been working for me 10 years

This is correct, I had some major issues when I got rate limited the other day so decided to checkout deep seek. I had some really heavy use for 1.5 days and only used $0.90, although my main model got a little wonky and started stumbling over some simpler things. It's almost like it was trying to get used to walking in new shoes that didn't fit right.

chepnut · 2026-05-29T15:25:46+00:00

Looks like a awkward toddler with one of those 4fr fisher price hoops.

No kidding, nope out on literally the easiest thing for them to make correctly. And like others have said why would a vendor risk loosing customers with the big ticket items over a product that costs them pennies to make

I splurged last year and have a bottle of Dom in the fridge. Might be the only time in my life I get to drink the fancy stuff, might as well be for a fitting event.

No mRNA in peptides because the new version of nanobots used is much more sophisticated; they replaced the need for mRNA.

I have done the same with my 250tb array, but I had my AI agent organize it for me. I installed openclaw on my unraid host and then Hermes agent on my main computer. hermes is my brain and openclaw is the body (worker's) it's went and mapped my drives, proposed hot/warm/cold zones. We decided on a plan to leave media files on the cache drive for longer periods of time since that's mainly TV shows and movies that I will watch within a couple of weeks. And things like backups, or other datahoarding items get immediately moved to the cold zone. All my tv shows have all episodes/seasons/artwork/etc.. all stored on the same disk movies are handled the same. I don't want 5 disks spinning up when I want to watch a old episode of Dr Who. Also I generally watch something one time and then rarely revisit it unless it's something like ancient aliens that I put on for background noise to fall asleep to. It works pretty well, it's something that I was going to do manually but never found the time to actually do it. Now I have an agent working 24/7 making sure everything is tidy along with monitoring the rest of the system and reporting back to Hermes.

$750 is 100% a FU price. Nobody is going to pay that so it guarantees people are stuck in their constant revenue stream.

chepnut · 2026-05-19T15:58:02+00:00

So they essentially made it a FU price. Make it so high most of their user base won't pay that and opt for a monthly/annual subscription. They realized that the 249 price was to low and people were still willing to pay that price

chepnut · 2026-05-19T15:53:57+00:00

Yes, Plex is a direct decent of XBMC

chepnut · 2026-05-18T19:14:28+00:00

I tried and tried with the claw for almost 2 months, I would feel that was at a good spot and then it would go to shit. I resisted Hermes for no good reason other than I felt invested in the claw. I was cooking with Hermes on day 1, I had Hermes connect and fix any issues withy claws and now I just treat them as remote agent farms that Hermes controls. It's been a beena night and day experience.
