For ergonomics, the plugin should be able to spot cuts in the video so you can easily select the correct frames.

This shouldn't even be too hard, I doubt YouTube is completely rerendering every video with ads, they'd just insert the ad in before an I frame in the video. So each ad will start with an I frame, and the video will resume on an I frame, meaning just let the user select all the I frames, no fancy cut detection algorithm is needed.

I have no idea how to do this from JS though.

Also I mean video I frames, not HTML iframes.

If you want the latest version of most python apps, I'd recommend using pipx, since it'll create python virtual environments for each app installed, and won't mess with system packages.

WARNING KVM acceleration not available, using 'qemu'

That's related to hardware virtualisation, like the other person said, check that it's enabled.

WARNING Using --osinfo generic, VM performance may suffer. Specify an accurate OS for optimal results.

This is related to --os-variant=generic, I don't remember what Home Assistant OS is based off, but find out and pick an option from virt-install --os-variant list, otherwise use linux2022.

ERROR internal error: Could not run '/usr/bin/swtpm_setup'.

I'm not sure why it's attaching a TPM, but I believe --tpm clearxml=true should remove it.

There's a third one I've heard:

• Intel VPro (the thing that privacy people disable because runs at a lower level than the OS and does mysterious stuff), is being used to remove the broken file while the OS is booting/crashed.

It also allows users to store dates back to ~1902.

Sigh...

Wait for it to reboot 3 times and automatically enter recovery, Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Command Prompt, del C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike\C-00000291*.sys

Is the fastest way to do this assuming no bitlocker. Also C: sometimes isn't mounted at C:, you might have to try all the letters between C: and X:, or just boot into safe mode.

IIRC the RTL chip inside them was originally designed for TV, so it works great! I'm actually using very cheap AliExpress clones for the TV ones, because they otherwise don't work very well.

I'm also using the outdoor TV antenna on my roof (common in Australia, idk elsewhere), and a splitter and adaptors. And with that I get every channel with no artifacts, at 30% strength, but that'll probably be higher with not awful SDRs.

I've got an interesting setup I'd like to share:

So I've got a Raspberry Pi with 4 RTL-SDRs, 2 for TV, 1 for radio, and 1 for plane transponders. That runs SatPi for the 2 TV SDRs, which TVHeadend running on my main server connects to, to record and stream. Jellyfin also connects to TVHeadend to properly index everything and for easy access to recordings and live TV.

Looks like 2x 4 pin fan headers:

But yeah I've got an AliExpress X99 board, which threw all sorts of hardware errors, had no fan speed control (100% all the time), no working hwmon sensors, and I ended up buying a used Supermicro board instead.

You can go through the activation troubleshooter and say you replaced the motherboard, I did this with my brother's computer and used a licence from a 5 year old netbook on a modern desktop. It might've needed a Microsoft account though.

Will I see any performance increase?

Like others have said LLMs mostly use VRAM, they can use system RAM if you're running them on CPU, but that's ridiculously slow.

It will however increase the speed of your compile times, which is especially useful if you're compiling something large like the Linux kernel on a regular basis.

I'm also worried about not having ECC RAM.

If you are using it purely for LLMs, if it's going to get bit flips, it'll happen in VRAM.

If you are compiling large things for customers, I'd recommend ECC, just in case, e.g. you don't want a bricking firmware from a bit flip. But according to EDAC and my TIG stack, my server's ECC RAM has never even detected an error in the past year, if I understand EDAC properly, so it's really not important.

I jailbroke my 4th gen iPod a few months after Apple dropped support for it, I feel like that breathed a lot more life into it.

AFAIK fast startup only affects shutdown, clicking restart will always do a full reboot. Shift clicking shutdown will do a full shutdown like you said, but shift clicking restart will start recovery mode.

My understanding after reading the article is: while roaming your phone sets up a VPN type thing with your phone provider, and routes calls and data through this tunnel, so now Europol has to deal with another country if they want to track you.

You might be able to flash the retail BIOS to remove the OEM stuff, but often if it's running a specific OEM BIOS it'll block you from flashing a retail version.

If the HOA's router supports UPnP/NAT-PMP/PCP then you might be able to use that to get some ports forwarded.

To me that does sound like your initramfs just needed recreating, since un/installing a module will do that usually.

how do i do that?

Probably by editing your GRUB config or whatever bootloader you're using.

Here is the EDID

Thanks, that should be enough I'll have a look when I'm free. Also something like get-edid > monitor.bin would probably be easier for me though.

Edit: I've had a look, I can't see any issues. Both checksums validate correctly and it advertises audio support. As you've probably seen in edid-decode, I'd expect it to show as 'SONY TV' (or at least for KDE 'Sony SONY TV' I believe).

I wrote a guide here: stevetech.me/posts/force-enable-vrr-edid

But it was mostly just changing random things and hoping for the best, so YMMV. I hope it helps!

None of my monitors (which are all DisplayPort) have audio, but one appears in the audio settings, so I'd say DisplayPort itself does support audio.
