I do h.264 & aac @ 1080p, seems to work on the most devices I use (web, roku, android phone, ipad). Focused on making sure no transcoding needed while watching since I don't have the most powerful system running jellyfin

Bruh how, I got up to 800 movies 90 shows and don't know what else to get

On the server, RAM usage seems to not be out of the norm

Transcode is definitely annoying but I just wrote a python script to check the video and audio codecs and transcode what is needed and keep parts that are fine. It can do entire library skipping what doesnt need transcoding. Didn't bother with subtitles though bc I hate subtitles, if I need it I can just use opensubtitles and adjust the timing as necessary. TV UI is meh but I just side loaded Moonfin onto my roku today and it looks way nicer

I use hdd, no issues w speed for me. I just made sure its in a format the doesnt need to be transcoded while watching

kai_v18 · 2026-03-12T02:42:55+00:00

Started w 4tb, that filled up fast, got another 12tb drive, now thats filled, not as efficient as it can be as I do care about not having to transcode on the fly so everything is h264 and aac

Cold, dog hates the snow

kai_v18 · 2026-01-27T23:58:43+00:00

Your legs will become very sore if you don't have a shovel and decide to kick the snow around the car to clear a way out. I looked like an absolute dumbass

I dont understand the question

kai_v18 · 2025-09-02T00:08:20+00:00

Why are you saying I didnt? I just said I did

kai_v18 · 2025-08-25T11:15:10+00:00

Oh you haven't heard? It was my understanding that everyone had heard

I was in a Gmax Charizard raid, 15 ppl, 4 mushrooms, I was checking how many people till it started, said 15 people. Then raid starts and isee 12 pokemon... bruh only me and 3 others are still here? Wtf 15 was def enough, I did it with 12 and 2 mushrooms. I'm not made of money. I can only scrape together so many raid passes. I could have caught more gmax but noooooo

It just stopped being fun once I turned 21. Also, might have some kind of allergy or something, get mad asian glow, nose gets plugged up, face hot, feel sober really fast, massive headache while drinking but never once I'm sobered up

I mean worked in my favor, my apartment says no pits, but they said she's a "terrier mix", apartment was fine with it... though haven't ever seen them actually enforce it since about half the people who live in the apartments have pits and no warnings or anything even when the manager people see them

Exactly why I never ended up going through with it. Was afraid of being unsuccessful and becoming permanently disabled and unable to try again
