When you start playing something, go into the admin dashboard on another machine and click the “i” and see if its trying to software transcode instead of hardware transcode, or does it say its direct playing?

How are you running the Jellyfin server? As your own docker container or installed as a docker container in something like Unraid?

If its a container then it needs access to the GPU (eg, --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri, or whatever device your GPU appears as), and if its installed in Unraid it needs access to the gpu, intel-gpu-top needs to be installed, and the Jellyfin container also needs a docker mod called “opencl-intel”.

I tried this for the first time a few days ago and it seems pretty good.

If you hold the selection button on a movie/show theres an option to “Play with transcoding” which helped solve a lot of problems for me when playing things on older hardware in situations where the official Jellyfin app would incorrectly try to direct play content that actually wasnt compatible.

I run Opnsense in a VM in proxmox and I passthrough an Intel X540 (2x 10Gb NIC) card into it. I have 5Gb fibre and i get that full speed on Opnsense. The CPU is an Intel N100 and I never see any CPU spikes.

I’ve had it setup for a few years now and I’ve had no issues with it.

Set up Uptime Kuma on the VPS to monitor services there. Uptime Kuma can send you a notification if any of them become unresponsive.

Then use Healthchecks.io to monitor the VPS itself and Uptime Kuma.

You can set up to 20 monitors on the free tier with healthchecks.io.

Its a push monitor, so if the VPS/Uptime Kuma doesnt reach out to say its alive within the designated time interval you’ll get a notification, like a sort of dead man switch.

Theres a load of notification options for both healthchecks and Uptime Kuma including email, discord, ntfy, etc, etc.

This way you have no need for a seperate self hosted server, and you get healthchecks on yo healthchecks.

Sounds like somebody at Europol just had a blast playing Detroit Become Human.

How is “A worthy alternative to Discord?” not a drinking game already?

I’m not sure about all Garmin watches, but most of them don’t have wifi. So in those cases their only way of getting data to Garmin servers is via syncing with the app.

You can also just use your Garmin watch on its own without any app. You can plug your Garmin watch into your PC and export your data into a self hosted fitness tracker like endurain for example.

considering Curve failed my ID check and refuse to reply to my emails trying to sort it out.

I had this exact problem with Curve on graphene back in September. Curve didn’t even ask for an ID and the app just kept saying my ID (the one it didn’t ask for) couldn’t be verified.

But a few weeks ago I tried Curve again, in exploit compatibility mode, and this time it worked. And NFC payments are working for me.

Might be worth trying it again after some time has passed?

if linux aims for just legit users then forget ever having userbase from africa,south america. or any place generally poor.

Linux is a kernel that lets software talk to hardware. It doesn’t care about where it’s users are from or what their financial situation is.

This is not Linux’s problem.

Now try migrating all your docker containers to podman.

You got scammed? Oh no. How much money did Ubuntu take from you?

Or maybe people are mislead by (and putting to much trust in) the term “end-to-end encryption”

Sure its encrypted in transit between you and the person you’re exchanging messages with.

But that doesnt mean the Whatsapp app itself isnt scanning your chats on the phone.

Right now, using GrapheneOS and being outside of corporate attestation chains just means that you can’t use the NFC payment system.

FYI, I’m able to use NFC payments on Graphene OS using Curve Pay.

Isn’t that the whole point to Graphene OS?

I like my super secure OS being developed by super paranoid developers thank you very much.

Why do you need yet-another-separate app?

To keep your two factor codes and passwords separate in the event that your password manager is breached.

Also if you need a 2FA code to log into your password manager, how are you going to get it if its in the password manager that you can’t log into without the 2FA code inside it?

I use Sunshine+moonlight to stream from my Linux desktop (7900xtx) to my Steam Deck and it works great. Even AV1 streaming works.
