Wait a couple more years you’ll be able to feed the descriptions through AI and make really trippy videos
Most likely, I just dedicate an old laptop, a 4k HDMI capture device, store off MP4 and feed it through comskip then take it h265 and store it off.
If I don’t do anything tricky with the browser they can’t detect that I’m doing anything tricky at all.
The only thing I’m a little concerned about is that they’re going to start doing advertising like broadcast TV did and put quarter screen commercials up for other shows in the middle of running shows.
And I use YTDLP now. At some point they will make it inoperable. I’m honestly surprised they haven’t sorted it out yet.
If it doesn’t I will make something that records the entire f****** stream and removes the commercials out of it the old fashioned way If I have to. Not my first rodeo.
Saying the internet was better is a haze of nostalgia, a gross underappreciation of new technologies, and a smattering of truth.
Over 38% of the stuff I flush down the toilet is gone forever, too, and that’s ok.
The early Internet was interesting only because it was new and different. Most of the stuff out there was low-quality stuff just for funsies projects. The barrier to entry is still very low. Anyone who wants to put up a website with whatever they’re interested in requires no technical expertise and isn’t even expensive. But you don’t see a lot of that because it’s not new or exciting and few people are going to waste their time on it. On the upside, you can now throw up your own federated content system with relatively little work and have a huge community for very very little. Things are gone chiefly because they weren’t worth saving. Sure, there are exceptions like DPReview, but they even got a reprieve because they were worth keeping.
Before the advent of filter bubbles, the internet was a creative playground where people explored different ideas, discussed varying perspectives, and collaborated with individuals from “outgroups” – those outside their social circles who may hold opposing views.
And how did anyone find those varying perspectives? Everything was unindexed, even search engines were crap. Fark, Digg and Slashdot, link aggregators and forums are the same as they’ve always been. Are the majority of those conversations gone? Sure, but you can find another 25,000 of them on Reddit, x, Instagram, and Lemmy, and when those are gone, some other service will replace them.
If people are moving to algo-driven social media, it’s because they perceive it as advantageous to them. I found the algo ate too much of my time and moved back to diverse and static youtube clients.
They probably shop at Aldi.
If they would have had two working brain cells they would have made it opt in and made a contest told them that one lucky person will win $10,000.
We probably need to have some kind of business that links up people looking for ads with in video monetization. Of course sponsor block Will negate that to some decent extent.
The entire entertainment industry is floundering. Wages lagging inflation in many sectors, people are paying significantly more to eat. They’re going to cut back on the streaming services and they’re going to cut back on going out to the movies. I’m right here at these crossroads where the only thing that makes sense is to give people a little more value for the money, instead we’re going to pull every fast trick we can to make more in advertising and gambling.
I mean it’s not entirely impossible, FFmpeg has also pushed to improve themselves over the years.
They’re mostly just using FFmpeg behind the scenes, which is exactly how Plex did it to start with. Plex spent a long time working on hardware acceleration, it’s hard to tell exactly what they’re doing at this point but it’s safe to say they spend a hell of a lot of time on it so I doubt they’re just using FFmpeg for hardware acceleration anymore.
My problems are less about speed and more about compatibility. I have Plex and jelly thing set up next to each other as containers on the same media database. There’s quite a number of videos that play on Plex that will not play on jellyfin. It could be problems between the two clients.
For the sake of not being trapped by Plex I could deal with all the other problems everyone’s listed here.
But asking my friends and family to either use tailscale or for me to leave that open highly complicated open source project dangling out there on an open port…
It doesn’t make the point any less valid. I would pay for better transcoding performance in jf if it were an option.
I want a working search engine. I want something to review my writing and suggest changes. I want high quality noise cancellation and background removal. I want high quality speech to text and text to speech.
These are the things I want from AI I don’t really want something training my every want and whim to provide me better ads. But the stuff I listed in the first paragraph here is really advantageous to most people I believe.
Yeah they witch hunt you pretty bad about using docker in Enterprise
Had a little spark of glee looking at a fellow nix user in the wild

People will pay more money for premium.
But yeah environmentally this is a damn good idea. We should make everything out of metal.
Figuring out your bandwidth requirements is easy but not totally stupid easy.
If you’re going to pull down 4K video on demand figure you’re going to need at least 25mpbs
Now if it’s just you on the network and you never try to do two things at once that would be more than enough.
But now let’s say you were trying to pull down one of those ISOs while you’re trying to watch 4K Netflix. If you know what you’re doing and you can such same limits in your apps you could probably get away with 50 megabit per second. Now if you have a family and multiple people trying to watch different 4K streams, that 25 multiplies.
Now if somebody is trying to be on a zoom call while somebody else is streaming and somebody else’s downloading and ISO, things start to compound and you don’t want the zoom call to suffer. The thing is you’ve got as much of a chance of overburdening your routers capabilities as you do burning through your bandwidth.
Then consider your Wi-Fi, unless you spend a whole lot of money on your equipment you’re not getting any more than around 350 MB per second per device on Wi-Fi. If you’re wired, of course you can eat the whole gig.
A reasonably fast starting point for a small family is probably around 100 mbps.
Steam can give you hundreds of megabits per second but it doesn’t always it depends on where the data is hosted. Torrents can easily saturate as much as you want to give them If you are going after a popular piece of media.
Looking at my internet history for the past 24 hours with four people in the house and one of them almost constantly watching YouTube I had a couple of peaks around 70 mbps My peak utilization over the past 24 hours is about 8% with an average utilization of 2%.
More than likely you are 350 is more than enough to handle whatever you need unless you really need to have very very very large files very very quickly or have more than five people streaming at your house.
