  • Back feeding is legal here if it is connected to a micro inverter which can turn off immediately when disconnected and never outputs more than 800W.

  • ChatGPT won't humiliate you for asking a question that someone else has already asked.

    I don't know, being told what a good question that was and what a good boy I am everytime I ask a stupid question feels pretty humiliating.

    (Still better than SO)

  • Heroic also has a handy "Add to Steam" shortcut for each game:

  • Balcony solar panels are dirt cheap, you can get them for 200-300€, including the micro inverter. You usually do not have batteries in these setups, you just use up the generated power while it is available by moving things like the dishwasher and dryer to that time.

    To give some actual numbers, I pay 0.22€ per kWh right now. In the last 30 days (Apr 21 - May 20) the balcony solar panels generated 74.11kWh. The month was fairly average with an even mixture of sunny days and rainy days.

    Assuming you can use up the 800W of peak power, you will have saved around 16€ in just those 30 days. I don't have full data for the year yet since I only got mine a few months back but my current estimation is that it will have paid for itself after 2-4 years.

  • The biggest advantage of balcony-mounted solar panels, at least where I live, is that you need 0 permits. You don't need to ask your neighbors, you don't need to ask your power company, you don't need a building permit, you don't need an electrician and you don't need a solar company to install them for you.

    They don't replace large solar farms but if you incentivize people to DIY their solar installation you get tons of additional cheap and clean energy from a source that would be wasted otherwise.

  • Most modern OLED panels on TVs and monitors don't actually use classic PWM for dimming, they never turn off completely and instead fluctuate between like 100% and 95% brightness based on the refresh rate.

    Did you ever test if you can see that as well at different refresh rates?

    rtings always tests this under "Image Flicker". https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/motion/image-flicker

    It's not considered flicker-free but the OLED panels listed with 0 Hz PWM frequency (most of them) should look fine.

    However, there are two other elements that might cause issues:

    • VRR flicker
    • ABL dimming in HDR

    Both can cause an unpleasant experience if you are sensitive to it.

    Phones still commonly use PWM because it uses less energy. There are some that have a DC dimming option but it's rare.

  • It's amazing. With my black theme, a black background, and the mouse off the monitor, you can't even tell the thing is on.

    I have a solid black color as background and a hidden task bar on my OLED monitor.

    It's just a mouse cursor floating in nothingness.

  • The Redux upgrade is available for $20 or with an active Switch 2 Online Membership*.

  • The application you print with should not affect the borderless printing unless the application itself adds a margin around the image. Gwenview has a print preview which shows how it thinks it will look.

    Stupid questions first: After selecting a borderless print profile, did you set the margins all the way to 0?

    Can you check if the print is cut off by ~3mm or if is just rescaled?

  • I assume you tried adding a new printer through KDE? There's usually no driver needed if all you need to do is simply print/scan.

    Does it fail with both options?

  • Played a few hours of Last of Us 2 last night. Ran pretty well (80-100fps) on highest settings in native 1440p but with a 7900 XTX I can of course just brute force through it.

    Surprisingly, the game ran flawlessly out of the box. Didn't need to add the SteamDeck=1 variable like in the other newer Sony games.

    Does not run with Proton-Tkg for some reason, so no HDR for now.

  • It's nice to read something sane in these threads.

  • Arguing on the internet with a guy that's rude does not get me anywhere.

  • I see we are going nowhere here. You do you, I do me.

  • and you’re trusting this WAY too much.

    I don't need to trust because I know how it works: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/blob/767ee2b5c41ddcceba869981b34d3f59d684bc00/Emby.Server.Implementations/Library/LibraryManager.cs#L538

    Tools like shodan will categorically identify EVERY jellyfin instance that scanners will run into.

    They can't. Without the domain, the reverse proxy will return the default page.

    No. Read the whole thread.

    I did.

    If your path is similar to my path

    It does not need to be similar, it needs to be identical.

    • There are 2 popular Docker images, both store the media in different paths by default
    • You do not have to follow the default path
    • The server does not even have to run in Docker
    • The sub path is entirely defined by the user
    • You do not know the naming scheme for the content

    There are 1000s of variations you have to check for every single file name, with 0 feedback until you get a hit. After you have gone through all that trouble, you can now confirm that the file exists and do great things like retrieve the cover art or the subtitles. None of which is incriminating or useful.

    All it takes is for one angsty company to rainbow table variants of their movies name to screw you completely over.

    My threat model does not include "angsty company worried about copyright infringement on private Jellyfin servers".

    Why bother scanning the entire internet for public Jellyfin instances when you can just subpoena Plex into telling you who has illegal content stored?

  • You are reading too much into the issue linked.

    In order to actually abuse any of the unsecured endpoints, you need to have knowledge of the domain, the media/user/stream IDs and media paths. You don't get those unless you have a user on the Jellyfin instance and brute forcing them is not practical. If you trust the users you add to your Jellyfin instance, there is not much risk in exposing it to the internet.

    Those issues definitely need to be addressed at some point, but it doesn't make Jellyfin exposed on the internet open to anyone.
