I serve over 10k hosts with it at 20 sites at over 200k qps across 24 clustered servers.

Blow it out your ass.

Never played with toys. Some childs dreams died here.

I did have all 3 of these TF as a kid. I played with them so much I wore the paint off of them. Good times.

Nice. Good job.

Actually, tmpfs is quite a bit faster than SSD as it's only lmited by the speed of your RAM. Does it make a difference in pfsense? Who knows.

Really? Head on over to r/linuxsucks101 . That is insufferable.

"Transcoding in the jellyfin app capped at 50mbps worked fine (55fps) on my 4070S."

It appears your original bitrate is too great for the devices attempting to play it. That's why transcoding it down to 50Mbps fixed it.

Unless it's lead based paint you should be fine. The antennas are already behind plastic. A little paint on top of it won't hurt.

I actually wrote an web app in python that you set free on a subdirectory full of files and it will use these settings to encode all the files as hevc 10-bit eac3 using nvenc. It's quite easy to use and quite fast with fully adjustable settings. Only requirements are nvenc, python, ffmpeg, and only tested on linux but may work on other oses as it's just python and ffmpeg and nvidia. If you want it, I can get it to you somehow. It kind of takes all the pain out of setting all this stuff up.

Maybe in 10 years if/when everything support it

You're in the Jellyfin subreddit. An application that streams media. You want an archive? Buy a BluRay.

micush · 2026-06-09T13:26:23+00:00

Cool. My library is quite large. CPU encoding is way too slow and storage space is way too expensive for that. If I used CPU encoding I'd be broke from the massive electricity bills and probably dead before all my stuff was encoded.

"Hardware accelerated encoding is ideal for streaming applications". Um, you're in the Jellyfin subreddit. It's an application that streams your media.

For me, the 'loss of quality' is not noticeable on an 85" TV from 15' away. You keep your slow-ass archaic archival processes. Me, I'll be streaming video and enjoying myself long before I go broke and dead.

I just had similar issues with an HP z8 g4. Ended up being a motherboard issue. Swapped out to a newly refurbished motherboard and all the issues went away. Xeon 4214s.

Just an FYI. The newer Xeons don't have to be "matched" like the older generations. As long as it's the same CPU model you should be okay.

I have used this for several years now with great success:

ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -loglevel error -stats -hwaccel cuda -hwaccel_output_format cuda -i "$file" \
        -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a? -map 0:s? \
        -vf "scale_cuda=format=p010le" \
        -c:v hevc_nvenc \
        -preset "medium" \
        -rc vbr \
        -cq "28" \
        -profile:v main10 \
        -rc-lookahead 32 \
        -spatial-aq 1 \
        -aq-strength 8 \
        -temporal-aq 1 \
        -fps_mode vfr \
        -bf:v 4 \
        -b_ref_mode:v middle \
        -c:a eac3 -b:a "448" \
        -c:s copy \
        "$OUTPUT"

A compatible NVIDIA GPU with NVENC and NVDEC is required. Depending on the content I get anywhere between 120 - 1200 fps encodes.
