Jellyfin has come a hell of a long way since it first forked from Emby. sure its not as feature complete and polished as plex but it's far from shit, and it's free and open.

I run both side by side with several clients on each and have been a plexpass holder since 2013.

time for a re-watch. it gets better with time.

and by better I mean the existential dread is worse.

I have .solutions and .info domain emails that still gets denied by some services, especially anything government or public utility, pain in the arse.

You'd think that at least .info would be pretty well accepted by now.

Sure, but something tells me the kinds of people who use software like Wondershare and Aiseesoft video converters arent going to be writing their own FFMPEG automations in batch files or bash scripts.

Basically everything worth using is just a wrapper for FFMPEG these days, so they all perform the same, just with different interfaces. So Handbrake will always be the go-to for the basics, but if you are looking for automation and custom processing based on rules you set out, then FileFlows is worth playing with

I think a lot of people have facebook accounts but dont use it for facebook. Messenger, instagram, marketplace.. I'd guess that most people using those services don't actually "use facebook" and probably think they arent providing profitable data to meta by using those services.

you have been able to right click (or i guess two finger click for apple people) and open a second window forever.

You can have multiple finder windows in OSX, thats perfectly normal, but you cant have the network settings open next to the printer settings.

I'm pretty positive on mac OS, as an OS it's technically quite good, but their preferences app has always been atrocious almost entirely for this reason, I want to have two preferences windows open to different pages please..

I'm just now realising that Nukumizu's name has mizu (water) in it, and looking up the nuku part can mean "to extract" ... and they guy's hobby is water

Thus why im moving to 11. Lots of the PCs I work with are still 10 though.

Mostly 11 now. I honestly prefer it to 10 now, but that's with quite about of decrapification done to remove all of Microsoft's bullshit.

At home I'm mostly using Ubuntu, but it's basically covering firefox as all of my self-hosted stuff runs in thevbrowser and I don't game much.

 
 
 

Classic.

 

KAUAN - Ice Fleet.

Achingly beautiful music, doom, atmospheric, ambient, progressive.

If you haven't listened to them, they played two albums, Pirut and their masterpeice Sorni Nai live in full in Kyiv some years ago, it's here for those interested. If you've never cried to music with lyrics you don't even understand, give that a go.

 

I didn't have any vinyl starting with H, so tonight it's I.

Ihsahn - Das Seelenbrechen

Probably his most experimental solo album, and one I'm quite fond of, though i prefer After or The adversary personally. Standout part of this album has to be the semi improvised drum parts by Tobias Andersen range from groovy to unhinged and I love it.

 

In my opinion, Gojiras best work.

Love the story and lyrics on this album.

Atmospheric funeral doom with a neat gimmick of being in their own ancient language and lyrics based on sacred texts of said civilisation.

Combining my love of conlangs, worldbuilding and funeral doom!

 

Yea I'm skipping to the end of the alphabet for a special play because I felt like it. My first play tonight wasn't metal so here's this.

Glorious Ukrainian black metal with avant garde jazz and noir influence.

 

I adore this album. That is all.

 

This is Alcest - Écailles de Lune, one of the quintessential Blackgaze releases.

My copy here is the Prophecy Productions 10th Anniversary reissue, a lovely quality remaster pressed to a gorgeous deep blue and black swirled vinyl.

 

Gday folks,

Has anyone have any luck tracking down a source for surround and or Atmos music? whether it by DVD-A, BD-A, SACD, DTS-CD etc etc. Not looking for concerts here (I have plenty of those) but proper albums specifically mixed in multichannel and spacial formats.

I have pretty much everything I can find on Usenet and public trackers and have backed up all of my physical media but there is a lot out there that I know exists.

If you aren't already using the mover tuning plug-in, now is a good time to have a look at it.

The latest update allows per-share settings override for detailed control over how your caches are used.

I use this plug-in to keep files in cache based on their age, so for example in a media server, you can have the last 14 days of TV shows kept in cache, while still running the mover regularly.

It can also do a full move if the disk is above a certain threshold value, so if your cache is getting full, it can dump all files to the array as per normal.

So you always keep the most important recent files on the cache, with a greatly reduced risk of running into a full cache issue and the problems that causes.

Now, with the latest update, you can tune these settings PER SHARE, rather than being across the whole system.
