Woah, youtube ads in the US are so much more interesting. Don't get me wrong, fuck pro slavery propaganda, it's just completely exotic to someone who only saw bank loan and lame product ads (when visiting parents who use official app on their tv)

Same when setting up Nagios, after a time you learn fewer alerts is better

Arbeit macht frei!

I remember these times, then I started buying hardware with 1st class Linux support. Highly recommend when it's time to upgrade!

If it turns out to be a Pi bottleneck, you can just re-encode the videos with a lower quality and h.264 codec.

I have a similar setup but my nfs server is not a mini pc.

You could try diagnosing if it's the network or if your mini pc is too busy (maybe out of disk i/o?).

If that's too hard, temporarly stop all other programs on the mini pc. Does it help?

Does streaming something from the internet to kodi work without freezes? If it's ok, then network is likely not the issue

Last but not least, does playing the same video from an USB stick work smoothly? If not, maybe the quality is too high or the video is x265

2nd comment with the same typo, are you using dictation?

Haha, the horrors of trying to fix a bug in OpenOffice flash before my eyes

The curl author writes a lot about his struggles, but he's also employed to maintain curl, so not really a good example

Yeah I got old man's habits after having no energy for the same reason as you. Save that sweet energy whenever you can.

99.9% US politics 👍

If I wanted a phone nobody else has, I'd get a Pinephone.

For the what?

I went a step further and am paying an accountant to handle this mess, using my favourite libre email client to contact her. I know, it's a privileged position.

That's what I do, /music

Good for you for not having any problems mate! I'm sure this invalidates the parent poster's problems.

Kolanki, that dude is everywhere!

Thanks for a nice read!

I've been testing Claude the last month. It's good for 90% of the tasks but for the remaining 10% i couldn't convince it to give a proper answer and used ChatGPT instead. Technical questions and coding is what I use llms for.

Any particular problems you're having or have you briefly used Pidgin in 2008 and think nothing has improved since then?
