I have an init.sh file I run from my dotfiles. Pipe my sudo password to it and leave it alone for about an hour. Gets things 95% of the way to how I like them.
I should migrate to ansible like u/djehuti@programming.dev but time :(

Fair enough, just saw the “if you’re not an IT worker” comment haha
Ah, my use case right now is almost exclusively streaming stuff from my laptop to a phone with HEVC support over a local network so I can just turn transcoding off and be okay.
I did however have issues with my lack of transcoding (I turned it off myself, not Jellyfin’s fault. Pitchforks down, people) on a tablet without hardware HEVC support though so I may have to experiment with it soon.
FWIW I had to go in and turn the feature off but there’s also a good chance it was using CPU instead of GPU
Oh come on, it’s better to be helpful if you can rather than just saying “for you” and adding nothing else to the conversation.
Seriously I’m sure they’d love to try it again if the issue is resolved. I know I wouldn’t pick Plex over Jellyfin unless I had no choice.
When you say “hardware encoding”, are you talking about using your GPU for stuff like transcoding when streaming to devices?
I ask because I actively disable all transcoding because I run jellyfin off my laptop and don’t wanna overwork it so to speak. I just assumed it was using the GPU.
Can you even update Safari separately on iOS?
Nevermind, read that as “people refuse” instead of “apple refuse”
Fuck Apple.
I’ve had to debug a PDF viewer on a site once. Getting that to work across multiple versions of multiple browsers was a nightmare and I never managed to figure it out. Latest versions are mostly fine (except for mobile safari), but even 1yo versions of browsers are just broken.
Maybe I’m missing something, but it got bad enough that one of the “potential solutions” I was considering involved figuring out how to compile a C based pdf renderer thingy into WASM and embedding it in the app.
This was about 7 months ago.
I agree though, add to cart should NOT behave differently across browsers in 2024.
2024 is gonna be the year of the Linux desktop, I can feel it!
Honestly, dark theme is how they got me with that one. Haven’t used the site aside from search results since the API changes went live but I like to think I’d leave if a new redesign was worse.
Yeah, Vore. That awesome song by the British metalcore band Sleep Token.
On I 100% agree with you here. But here’s my (and I think a lot of people’s) logic:
It’s slightly different in the case of YouTube. The shop isn’t putting Karen (and everyone else) under a microscope the second she walks into the store, and using that data to tailor what she sees in their other branches so she’s more likely to buy. They’re not creating what’s effectively a gigantic influence market out of the data, and I don’t think you are doing that to your clients either (although to be honest, I’d be pretty impressed if you were).
YouTube is free because “we are the product”. They’re harvesting our data whether we block ads, skip ads, watch ads, or pay for premium (as far as I know, please correct me if I’m wrong). It may not be profitable on its own but it sure as hell is bringing value to Google’s other services. All the while, it’s actively getting worse for end users (more and more ads, no more dislikes, not respecting video quality choices as well as it used to, hiding quality settings behind obtuse menus on mobile, no home page without watch history…)
Ultimately, “line no go up big like last year grug mad” is what matters to Google’s shareholders and what ultimately drives their decisions. I firmly believe that we’d still be having this conversation if YouTube somehow making a profit with ad blockers on, so fuck em.
Okay now I feel a little bad for blocking ads on twitch if their ads are reasonable. Maybe I should consider adding it as an exclusion?
It’s been years since I’ve used YouTube without Revanced, SponsorBlock, and uBlock Origin. The vanilla experience when I see it on other people’s devices horrifies me every single time.
Already switched to Firefox for work on linux and I’ll switch on my “entertainment” windows install as well soon… just need to find time to do the sync stuff
I’m no cryptography expert but I don’t see how they could implement this with true anonymity or without it being spoofed in other browsers. There is currently no way to know with absolute certainty what browser/client web traffic is actually coming from and game anti-cheat devs will probably tell you it’s a nightmare of a problem.
The way I see this working is making it a Mozilla account thing and not a Firefox thing through some sort of stateless cross-origin cookie the sites agree to support. But then, you’re giving up at least some privacy because even if the sites you visit don’t know who you are, you’ll still have to trust that Mozilla is logging anonymized visit counts and that some CEO 5 years from now isn’t going to change that for a quick buck.
Maybe I’m just out of my depth here and someone’s gonna correct me (please do if I’m wrong).
