Probably just a front for tech support scam call center anyway.

Yeah, I’m overdue for a PC rebuild. Once I save up for that, I’ll probably migrate the server portion of Plex to the new rig.

Excellent points. For my particular use-case scenario, x264 for 1080p works best for the users my library is shared with. I recently overhauled my library to get as much 1080p content into x264 as I could, and my friends have noticed a significant improvement in performance. I still have 4k content, but it’s mostly for me since my personal setup supports it. Since my NAS isn’t having to transcode literally everything now, it’s no issue if it needs to transcode a few 4k streams for my remote users.
I’m running a DS918+, so certainly not the newest model, but it’s still trucking. I was thinking about upgrading to a newer chassis model, but I see the newer ones have moved to AMD processors that don’t support hardware transcoding. Go figure.

I did make a generalized statement there, you’re right. My opinions on the matter are largely influenced by the TRaSH Guides, which are a primary source for file quality settings for a significant portion of people managing media libraries. Best practices for 1080p is x264 since it 1) can be direct streamed on the most number of 1080p devices (just because you can transcode a bunch of streams at once doesn’t mean you should), and 2) has video quality aspects that are important to consider if you’re concerned with anything more than file size.
With all the files in “proper” formats, my NAS has no issues direct streaming, and transcoding the few files here and there that need it.

Mine is hosted on a NAS. So no, not nvidia.

I exhaled too hard this morning and now have a sharp stabbing pain in my absolute fuckwaffle. Getting old sucks.

I have hardware transcoding. I also have enough friends that more than 2 or 3 may be trying to watch something at the same time. Good job assuming the simplest setup, though.

Downloading a 1080p movie in HEVC? Hope it’s not a shared library.

Yeah, but the point of the thread is it’s not an automatic death sentence.

It’s because he doesn’t have them.
- Comment on Anon preps for a hurricane 4 weeks ago:
I’d say it’s more a burden for the person making the claim that goes against reality. Imminent death is not in the least a common progression of getting knocked out.

Bless you for sharing this.
- Comment on Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun? 1 month ago:
The problem is slowing it down to any speed that would end up with it dropping into the sun is going to take more effort and be more difficult than firing it out of the solar system. It isn’t practical.

Right?! Don’t these people know there’s a finite amount of attention people have, and posting stuff that isn’t doom and gloom is just going to squeeze out the important stories that are now impossible to read and process.

How’d the professor like it? Sounds like an interesting topic, I’d hope it was a good grade.
- Comment on Anon has a back injury 2 months ago:
Well, you’re going to have a bad time on the internet, where the vast majority of people aren’t interested in catering their speech to a general audience to your or anyone’s individual preferences. The “general audience” aspect of public forums on the internet is why I’m not directly addressing you - I, nor I doubt many others here, give two shits that using a bit of hyperbole or exaggeration, particularly when making a flippant comment about something as trivial as how old a meme is, gives @three@lemm.ee the ick.
At any rate, I can’t be bothered to take this thread as seriously as you, so I’m going to be disengaging now.

Building your qualifications to teach advanced courses in being blasé?
- Comment on Anon has a back injury 2 months ago:
The main point they were making is that the meme is particularly old, pre-dating the modern Internet - the dominant medium of memes. As such, you could certainly say, perhaps somewhat hyperbolically, that it’s one of the first. Not sure why some people expect whatever another writes in an internet comment to be 100%, to-the-letter, literally true, when that’s not at all how we use language from day to day.

They didn’t say it was “the first.”

I’m in my mid 30s and heard this rumor in middle school, it’s definitely old. At the time it was supposedly Marilyn Manson who did it.
- Comment on Why don't we have cool vending machines in the US? 2 months ago:
Growing up in the south eastern US vending machines were a common sight in a number of public spaces, and they were completely fine. No idea what third-world parts of the country the rest of these people grew up in.

This may have changed since they seem to alter how these things work from time to time, but I’ve found that if you just keep getting one captcha after another, and you know you’re not making errors, try solving them slowly.
