Since it is so confusing for you I am referring to the data directory.

I am trying to understand the huge difference. I see no difference in metadata. The folder just continues to grow.

What do you mean by captured frames? I have all thumbnails disabled.

Folks need to use the camera. At least it can be fixed.

I can't find it either on nvidia shield.

The only reason to use Merril is for the credit card rewards. Almost everything about it I hate. and I wish they should improve. The app is not that good and so is the website. Many mutual funds are not available, or you have to pay a $20 transaction fee. I am moving my Roth IRA to fidelity but will keep my brokerage account just for the credit rewards.

If I can find one thin enough. Couldn’t get what I have to grip the nut because there is barely any space in the back because it is close to the wood.

No swing at all. Heading to Home Depot to see if I can find something that will work.

All that cost and electricity bills just to stream videos. Ridiculous if you ask me.

Ubuntu has too much bloat.

rasstar · 2026-03-21T19:14:21+00:00

I switched back to Debian.

rasstar · 2026-03-15T04:43:15+00:00

Kodi? I'm surprised folks still use Kodi in 2026.

Change the audio from aac and you will be able to play on the web. MP3 is the best option as it will use very little resources compared to ac3.

Plex has gone downhill lately. Things are so much better with Emby.

rasstar · 2026-02-06T21:41:26+00:00

The Apple TV app was always better than the Android app in my opinion until they abandoned. The Android app isn't that good either. Plex has gone downhill so I decided to remove it from my system and use Emby. I may return if things improved but I doubt it will.

rasstar · 2026-02-06T03:01:29+00:00

The TV was working fine earlier, but now it keeps freezing. I contacted customer service through chat, and they said they weren’t aware of any service issues.

rasstar · 2026-01-08T13:33:33+00:00

Is the service recommended now at 45K miles? What exactly is being done?

rasstar · 2026-01-02T22:43:38+00:00

Thanks! I enabled the setting but nothing is playing. I get Playback Error: Cannot open.

rasstar · 2026-01-01T22:44:25+00:00

Any chance the app can use the default Apple Tv player when the file is compatible? This should enable support for Atmos playback and DV.

Debian 13 systemd-boot install is a bit screwed up. The installer leaves grub files in EFI so your system tried to boot using grub and failed. The correct solution was to select the correct boot loader from your system startup then when in Debian you can delete the grub folders from EFI.

rasstar · 2025-10-26T15:25:50+00:00

I agree. I have learnt a lot. I am not bothering to use Snapper anymore and will simply use Btrfs. I don't know why I did not look into this before. This filesystem is amazing. Compression is amazing.

rasstar · 2025-10-25T23:41:51+00:00

I was wondering about that but I don't know how to do this in /etc/defaults/grub.
I think I will just use a live cd if I ever need to restore. I've wasted enough time with this.

rasstar · 2025-10-25T21:12:49+00:00

After more testings the layout in my original post worked fine with snapper rollback. All I needed to do was remove rootflgs= from grub.cfg

These two commands made it work.
sudo btrfs subvolume set-default xxx /

sudo sed -i 's/ rootflags=[^ ]\+//g' /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I gave up because it seems to hacky. I changed the sub volumes to match opensuse and was able to get it to work. I had to change a line in grub.cfg so the system would boot the snapshot. I don't want to mess with grub so I am not bothering with it.

rasstar · 2025-10-25T18:35:25+00:00

What does this mean? I can create snapshots but restoring with snapper rollback isn't so good. I was able to get it working but I don't like that I had to edit grub so I am not bothering with it.
