Yeah, in the time I describe the problem to the AI I could program it myself.

Reboot after updates or at least log out and back in.

But I’ve also had this happen with nvidia graphics. They were just unstable after a standby.

I’m too lazy but is Microsoft’s Azure Linux on there as well?

That’s why I run OpenSUSE on my Deck instead of SteamOS.

Yeah, I have one. It’s slow and unstable, no good browser, no good Signal client and an almost unusable camera and GPS.

All these things kind of sorta work. But not in any satisfying capacity.

It’s especially baffling to me that it seems to be impossible to make a modern smartphone with even a small fraction of the power of a PC. It must be hardware or driver issue because devices like the Steam Deck or Raspberry Pi show that the software is perfectly capable of delivering a good experience. And Android phones show that Linux on a smartphone works in principle. There just seems to be a gap between them and mainline Linux. Probably Google bribing chip manufacturers to keep competition down. Can’t think of much else.

The phone is still not very usable. It’s possible to use it as a daily driver but only if you have a high pain tolerance.

sigh I miss my N900.

It’s only 17 years old? You suddenly made me feel younger!

Yeah, it’s similar enough to tar.gz to always confuse me.

I like how KDE has been getting faster and faster as time went on. Like Lisa Simpson’s perpetuum mobile.

With docker-compose it’s almost there. Putting everything into a script with sensible defaults asking just for what is absolutely necessary should be relatively easy. It’s just that nobody bothered to do that.

Of course, if you want to have a performant instance with more than one user you will have to tweak everything according to your needs. But to simply get up and running isn’t that hard.

You never know.

Stop staring at my cable box. I don’t have a problem!

I like the trash to hook up any hard drive via USB.

Yeah, any additional VPN is unnecessary.

I guess the VPN adds an additional layer of authentication. And of course everything is encrypted by default which might otherwise not be the case.

Plus, with a VPN you can access multiple services.

They read the sentence “Yt-dlp and a cron job” which triggered a hormonal reaction in their brain which they linked to arousal due to prior experience. They used this as an opportunity to retreat to a more private setting and indulge in auto erotic stimulation.

Just make sure to keep the machine updated.

Don’t think so. Maybe ffmpeg can do that.

Yeah, if you have the cloud folder already mounted it should be trivial to re-encode the videos with Handbrake and using the cloud folder as the output directory.

What is your end goal? Do you want to back up your videos with minimal storage costs? Compression won’t help you (because videos are already compressed) unless you can accept data loss through re-encoding. Handbrake (or pure ffmpeg) would be the tool to re-encode lots of files. This could save you space but you may have some loss of quality, depending on the configuration you use and how the original videos are encoded.

If you just want the videos to be available for streaming, tools like Jellyfin or Emby would do the job. They are servers that re-encode your media for streaming on the fly, depending on the client capabilities and your bandwidth settings.
