  • Overhead and retransmissions; got it.

    THX for the reply. I was getting nowhere with my search-fu and ADD attention span.

  • Added the ability to select an action when starting playback (for example, you can choose to continue playback from an interrupted position), providing more control over the playback experience.

    We have been able to do this in previous versions at least back to v17...

    Improved AV1 support is welcome, and the ffmpeg change as well.

  • Oh and use powder of you can - liquid has way too much water in it, they're ripping you off

    Where I live, if you don't use the powder up in a month, it clumps or worse from the humidity. I swear by powder in the US Northeast. Here in Central America, I have to buy liquid.

  • Unlike other clients, it concentrates on albums.

    Trying to wrap my head around this. In the context of music on Linux, I listen to albums exclusively. Am I an outlier?

  • My GF would definitely disagree with you there. On my worst days, she stuffs her face into my pits and is practically intoxicated by it. Turns her on.

    Sidenote: my pet cat (female) also goes nuts for it. She'll root her nose into my pits and get all lovey. If she finds a soiled shirt out of the basket, she goes crazy, and her brother had better steer clear when she's "high on pits."

    ETA: I agree with you, however

  • The same reason people buy the cereal their grocer places at eye-level, and buy their cars from the stealer: marketing

  • OP asks about HDD technology, and somehow you found a way to ignore the main ask of their question, AND offer a response including a discussion about a hypothetical home renovation.

    "I see you want to know X, but I know about construction, so how about Z or Q? Eh?"

    Bravo.

    OP, WD Red NAS drives are usually 5400 with low cache and go at least up to 10TB. Might have to buy soon, as I don't see much new stock.

  • I owned four Fitbit devices, and they all broke in some way. The clip broke at the middle joint. Everything else always was at the wristband to body joint, and they refused to make standard wristbands. I've had a Vivoactive 3 since 2018-ish, and it still works for me, plus I can have custom activities, and watch faces, and data screens. I like that my partner's Garmin and mine use the same charging cable, too.

    Disclaimer: I don't use the smart watch features, like texts or calls or notifications of any kind on my tracker, and the battery lasts about five days still, unless I use GPS.

  • Garmin has so many different trackers for different niches. Scuba, hikers, bikers, runners, pilots...

    I switched after getting my third Fitbit replacement under warranty. Affordable and standard watch band parts, though some high-end trackers are a bit pricey for me.

    Just no reason to stay with Fitbit with Google's history of product longevity and support.

  • Well as long as you're aware of the risk and prepared for it, its not so bad to run in a volatile way like that. I ran my TN box for almost a decade on the same USB boot before I finally caved and picked up three Intel enterprise SSD for the job, with one as a cold spare. Nothing in the vox was critical or would be missed for more than a few beers of crying.

  • Thats is a very budget-friendly choice for UnRAID to accept varying drive sizes. As a backup destination, especially a cold backup, the RAM requirements of ZFS should be less impactful. I had lots of use from my TrueNAS box with 16GB, and my dedicated cold backup build is just 8GB on 5x1TB WD Blue (gasp!) HDDs. I always wanted to try other NAS platforms, but I'm away from all my tech for a few years.

  • Obligatory "TrueNAS is free " comment

  • Not temporary.

    Looks temporary to me:

    No interest in engaging with you further. Good luck, comrade.

  • Looks to me like you got (temp) banned for posting apparent incel comments in a hateful way. Not to mention your advice was exactly what the OP said they were avoiding from their own friends.

    Perhaps reading the room is a good start before you click reply. Doubling down when called out for hateful comments will rarely go well, and defaulting to name calling and reducing well-received advice to a "lib salad" (whatever that means) won't either. Perhaps stop behaving like the internet is some place where manners and respect are optional, and you'll feel more welcome wherever you go.

    I'm not trying to call you out or rehash that relationship advice here, only pointing out that you can disagree with people politely if you truly do desire respectful discourse. I hope you reflect on the ban and the comments replied to you. The world needs fewer, not more hateful incels or "alpha males."

  • Yes, I'm clueless with regard to others liking or noticing me. My partner sees it and points it out for my benefit. Usually with, "Poor man, never knew he was hot until he met me!"

    Everyone should be so lucky to be adored like I am now by my partner. And for things like, "your hands are perfect!"

    "They... are? Thanks!"

  • You just haven't met anyone like my partner. She pauses movies and TV to point out how my neck "is sexier" than the actor's. "Yours isn't little and thin like his."

    "Thanks!"

    She is definitely obsessed. Maybe not a fetish, but certainly a point of interest.

  • Yes! I imported 23k media files into a new platform, and the takeout process was such a pain. My destination was built to handle the zipped or unzipped media, but occasionally issues cropped up,like when files spanned archives but the json was on the previous one. That resulted in orphaned files with upload dates instead of date taken.

    Ultimately, I think I had the best experience extracting all 123GB and uploading the albums/folders that way.

    Would have been SO much easier with an API that allowed cloud to cloud.

  • I'll do some research on this front to see what I find. Thanks
