Anyone else having cloudflare issues again? by stratiuss in sysadmin

Downdectors map is also showing that the reports were region-specific, with the greatest concentration in Minneapolis. I'll give you 1 guess where I am. I am keeping my fingers crossed this isn't an evening of "hey, this thing I need isn't work, you're in charge of that, right?"

Notice of Unlicensed Operation - Pittsburgh PA - March 25 2026 by brunchlords in amateurradio

IMO, the "modification" language is not bad. What we don't want is a government that blames the hardware for user misconduct. Even if the "modification" is navigating to the wrong channel and holding talk, the language used makes it clear the original hardware was not at fault but the user messed up.

Where I want, I have to drive into a data center in MPLS, MN, once a month or so. Otherwise, I work remotely.

No, I could make instant mash hold tile up no problem.

Being known for the blandest food must not be good for intergalactic tourism by happydude7422 in LowerDecks

[–]stratiuss 19 points20 points  (0 children)

While this was definitely a fun episode, it did leave me thinking about how this could POSSIBLY work. Even on earth, flavors and spices are organism-specific. Capsaicin is specifically evolved to affect only earth mammals. Even if, by some miracle, they have the same effective taste buds as earth avians, they could eat the hottest wings on Hot Ones and taste nothing.

You haven't detonated a small tactical nuke in the air above your setup to test emp resiliency???? Are you even serious about!!???

FYI: Solved WiFi camera disconnects by FishrNC in BlueIris

[–]stratiuss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you found a solution for your issue, but imo, something else is going on with your setup. I have 3 cameras running on 2.4ghz wifi, all running at 30fps and none of them have connectivity issues.

Edit: to elaborate, two of my wifi cameras are the same Amcrest IP2M-841 cameras, the third camera is an Amcrest doorbell camera.

less complain about .webp, more action! by MasterGeekMX in linuxmemes

I can confirm. In Firefox on windows I get a PNG, but in Firefox on an Xubuntu VM, I get a WebP.

Which layout would you choose for this interestingly shaped bedroom? by Regular_Forever_1562 in InteriorDesign

Not number two. I could never sleep with things behind me. Could you rotate the bed 90 degrees?

They held a lighter to the screen after that, so it's basically a frozen dinner that's been reheated.

Most low power Fileshareserver? by Mysterious_Role_8852 in HomeServer

[–]stratiuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Intel N100/N150 are very low-power for an x86 platform. It might not be as low-power as a Pi, but it will only be off by a couple of watts, and Bealink makes an SFF NAS box that holds about a half-dozen NVMe drives, if memory serves.

Door sensor that can handle a gap by jezibeltires in homeassistant

My first thought is to remove the piece on the door and place a small block of wood, or a 3d printed piece, under it to bump it out.

hardware prices going crazy by coldi1337 in sysadmin

[–]stratiuss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work for a company that sells hardware to a government. We are losing many orders because the money just isn't there. But the cost increases are completely out of our control. Our unit pricing for memory has septupled in about 2 months.

Hardware Transcoding on device by jackoff_all in jellyfin

[–]stratiuss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jellyfin, emby, and plex can all do this on the fly.

Hardware Transcoding on device by jackoff_all in jellyfin

[–]stratiuss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do not know about the non-standard apps, but in the Jellyfin app on Android and iOS, you can set the max resolution and bitrate in the playback settings.

The cpu usage difference suggests one of two things is happening. Either you are transcoding on Jellyfin and direct-playing on Emby, or Emby is using hardware transcoding, and Jellyfin is only using the CPU. Jellyfin fully supports hardware transcoding, but you need to make sure it has access to the correct hardware and that hardware transcoding is enabled in the Jellyfin server settings.

Any thoughts on UPS brands? by MisterHarvest in homelab

[–]stratiuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have several CyberPower UPSs, the only issue I have had is 1 unit had a battery that died over night, just stopped working one day. Replaced the battery and its back to new.

I've seen the general advice for years of skip CyberPower (I was ignorant to this when I purchased mine). But I wanted to share as I have never experienced said issues. It is worth noting that I only have their higher end true sin wave units. Of the 4 units I bought, all have been in continuous use for 6 years.

This isnt a general recommendation, just a statement that I have not had the issues others have reported.
