    Does jellyfin do untranscoded video/audio?

    Haven’t used it in years but finally building up my media server again and I remember it had some funky settings for hardware encoding back then which I didn’t need because I was connecting to it via a repurposed gaming laptop that could easily handle 4k content and surround sound by itself.





  • Lol nah, they might be generally well designed, but they’ve been making it all in China (until now for tariff bypass) for decades now, so you don’t get the Japanese OEM quality shine you usually get out of other electronics.

    Most of the repair will be for damaged consoles. Switch 1 battery lasted pretty well considering most phone batteries begin to deteriorate around 4 years.

    Aside from that though, I expect the joycon drift issue to be unfixed which will be the real issue, especially as warranties expire.

    Edit: realized you meant in the sense of hot swapping flavors after I typed out a whole explanation lol. Should start recommending niche distros and collect package managers like trading cards lol.

    yum = dnf, dnf is just the newer version which was rewritten several times.

    apt is a weird attempt to “upgrade” apt-get with better user interface without messing with the compatibility of apt-get used by scripts and whatnot.

    Both of these are dependency handling package managers which do all the magic of installing required subpackges when you want something.

    rpm is the underlying system package manager which deals with the actual task of installing, removing, and generating packages in the .rpm format. It is analogous to Debian’s dpkg which uses the .deb format. It’s usually not used by the end user unless you need to play with a package directly like with a .rpm or .deb file.

    Hence why some distros (or people) have their own dependency package manager, like zypper on OpenSUSE (rpm) or Aptitude on Debian (deb).

    Although I think Aptitude might just be a fancy wrapper for apt lol.




  • People should see any of those videos of 3rd world countries repairing and refurbishing industrial technology on the street with their bare hands. I even remember someone commented that back in the days of the USSR, they used to salvage the solder off old and broken components too.

    The sad thing is, many of these people end up with health issues due to lack of any protection or health standard, yet they also provide a superior service and product that you will never find in a first world country due to the industry opting to trash and buy new.

    I’ve personally had to junk a radiator because the cheap plastic at the end broke, and no OEM actually sells the plastic part because it only comes as a whole assembly, even though you can easily delid the radiator to replace it if the subpart could be bought or made.




  • Dependencies:

    Old ass library version from 2004

    apt/dnf/pacman: package not found

    library package was last available 15 years ago before it was dropped to move to the next legacy version

    App package was available right up until last year until it was dropped for development inactivity

    Absolutely no one has a compiled version of old ass library

    Attempting to compile old ass library results in 30 other old ass package dependencies

    How in the actual world was the maintainer compiling this up to last year
