  • And while there is less app support in terms of clients the transcoding is actually better. It doesn't need a Plex Pass for hardware transcoding and it has way more options. You can do things like encode in H.265 (if the client supports it) and fine tune the tonemapping for HDR.

  • This is the year of the Jellyfin desktop

  • That is the exact opposite of what needs more seeders.

  • You can manually import them to the correct episodes. You should be able to go off of episode names. Sonarr uses the TVDB and that is also what Plex/Emby/Jellyfin use normally so those are the numbers you probably want.

  • Interesting. Being able to import them using the folders as albums is fantastic, although it seems like there is no {{album}} variable for the storage template so the problem still persists. Once I'm using it there would be no easy to way to export the albums out.

  • All HorribleSubs did was rip directly from Crunchyroll, they didn't do any encoding or translations themselves. And yes they shutdown a few years ago but were immediately replaced by SubsPlease who do the same thing.

  • From what I understand (I could be wrong) all of the images get imported into a single folder and albums are done via the database. I currently have my albums in individual folders. So not only would I have to recreate dozens of albums but I don't think there would be any way to export them in the future. But if that isn't how it works maybe I will give it another go.

  • It's not exactly what you're looking for but the website https://animelon.com lets you use English and Japanese subtitles at the same time. And you can look at definitions of individual words. It is probably only useful if you are beyond a beginner level though.

    I think using Japanese subtitles would be the way to go in general assuming you can read them but have trouble with listening.

  • I wanted to try Immich but I quickly found out you can't simply point it at an existing folder structure like say Plex or Jellyfin. You have to "import" all your files via a client and if you're like me and already have thousands of images in Nextcloud then even with their bulk upload CLI tool it is too much of a hassle.

    Plus I don't want to be locked into their format, I want to be able to switch if the project goes under or I find something better later on. Nextcloud's photo management is not great but I am willing to sack some speed and usability for using raw folders rather than a database.

  • Microsoft has bought up both Obsidian and Bethesda so it is technically possible for them to make another Fallout game. But at the same time they already announced Outer Worlds 2, and I'm not even sure the key people are necessarily still around.

  • You probably haven't gotten to Act 3 yet, the game is extremely CPU bound. I have a Ryzen 9 7950X and while Act 1 and 2 were basically locked to 144fps the entire time, in Act 3 I have seen dips down to the 40s.

  • Coincidentally this article is about a use case that isn't crypto. Clearly you didn't read anything more than the title.

  • Double Agent was actually great, but the only way to play the true one (IMO) is on Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube, or Wii. This version was made by Ubisoft Montreal who developed the first game and Chaos Theory. It is at the same quality level as those two.

    The version of Double Agent for the 360, PS3, and PC was developed by Ubisoft Shanghai who also did Pandora Tomorrow. Like you said it is okay, but it is pretty blatantly different from the other ones. Different engine, different vibes in general, and honestly just inferior in most ways.

  • Proton and the Steam Runtime bundle a bunch of different libraries so they all play nice together and are consistent across everybody's machines. There are the obvious things like DXVK and VKD3D, but the Steam Runtime includes basically all of the system files that affect games. It's not quite the same thing but for the sake of simplicity think of it like running in a virtual machine. The Steam Runtime is using libraries from Debian. It is the same concept as docker if you know how that works.

    Lutris on the other hand lets you select DXVK and VKD3D versions independently of the wine version, and uses your system's actual libraries rather than the standardized ones. If you're wondering why running Proton inside of Lutris is not working it's because Lutris is missing the Steam Runtime. It's searching for a container that doesn't exist so it can't even start in the first place.

  • Proton isn't meant to be run outside of Steam at all. If you are running games in Lutris you need to use the "lutris-GE-Proton8-14" you can find in the Lutris wine version manager. There is actually a huge bold disclaimer about that on the proton-ge-custom repo I linked in my last comment. Proton (and Steam) bundles a bunch of libraries together while Lutris uses whatever versions your system has installed.

  • Proton is Valve's version of wine running inside a container specifically made for Steam, while Lutris is only using wine.

    And the versions being used by Lutris and the version being used by Steam are not the exact same thing. If you use GloriousEggroll for example there is the proton-ge-custom repo for Proton, which is the one Steam uses, and the wine-ge-custom repo that Lutris uses.

    I'm not even sure that the latest "GE-Proton8-14" and "Wine-GE-Proton8-14" are actually equivalent to each other. They were released two weeks apart and might be based on slightly different wine and/or dxvk versions since they are using whatever the bleeding edge git commits are, rather than actual stable releases (i.e. using commit #ABCD1234 instead of release version 1.2.3)

  • Interesting choice of words because masks are literally in your face about saving your life, lol.

  • I made this argument back when the first mandates were happening. I don't recall any major uproar about seat belts yet for some reason it's a big deal when we do the same thing for masks.

    The craziest part of it is to me is that seat belts basically only affect the person wearing it, but masks affect both the person wearing it and the people around them. So if anything it makes more sense for masks to be mandated over seat belts.

    And not just seat belts, we already mandate clothing in the form of public exposure/indecency laws. And that doesn't even have any tangible effect on anything. Technically we could all be running around naked but I don't see any uproar about that either. I can at least somewhat understand wanting freedom and/or autonomy but the people complaining aren't even consistent about it.

  • To be fair we already have giant metal murder boxes zooming around on the streets. If AI kills even a single person everyone flips out even though over 40,000 people die every year in the US from car accidents. And that is just the deaths, not including injuries. Yet I don't really see anyone calling for more regulations on driving tests for humans.

    People want AI to somehow be perfect when in reality as long as AI is even 1% better than humans that's saving over 400 lives per year. AI doesn't get sleepy, distracted, drunk, etc. so it probably already is at least 1% better in most situations. Humans are horrible drivers.
