datab

Theoretically, support for that could be coming… Emby (where Jellyfin is based on) always used their own layer for interacting with a SQLite database. All that custom made logic is currently being swapped out for EF Core. EF Core is a DotNet library for interacting with databases and EFCore that also supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server besides SQLite.

So my guess is that, once all that work is completed, support of other database can be added.

For a little bit of context. I am currently running Jellyfin on Btrfs and there is quite a performance impact due to CoW. If 2 clients decide to browse the libraries, both clients grind to a near standstill with regards to being able to see things. So I am following this work with quite some interest.

Ministerie van Infra en water leek mij wel een goeie…

Maar inderdaad, er moet gewoon lokale representatie komen voor het OV. Zowel van de medewerkers als de bewoners.

Voor de bewoners, dan krijgen ze gewoon invloed op hoe vaak bussen rijden en welke haltes ze stoppen. Voor medewerkers lijkt het mij gewoon heel goed om te voorkomen dat je shit krijgt als, buschauffeurs die geen plaspauze hebben…

Het ‘probleem’ is dat we het al gedeeltelijk subsidiëren, zelfs in een commerciële setting (voorbeeld van een subsidie regeling uit 2013: https://lokaleregelgeving.overheid.nl/CVDR72226/1). In dit geval gaat het om busvervoer.

Dus effectief gezien, subsidiëren wij (de samenleving) via de overheid “commerciële” partijen om het openbaar vervoer te realiseren. En als ik bijvoorbeeld kijk naar het busvervoer in Utrecht (waar ik woon en wat ik dus het beste ken), dat wordt gerund door Connexxion (dochteronderneming van TransDev). TransDev is voor 66% eigendom van de Franse staat en voor 34% eigendom van “Rethmann Group”. Dat betekent dat Connexxion / TransDev in de praktijk al een staatsbedrijf is, alleen niet onder Nederlands zeggenschap.

Persoonlijk, ben ik eerder dan een voorstander van om het openbaar vervoer bij het ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat neer te leggen en zij het te laten exploiteren. Dan kunnen we in ieder geval (op dit moment), via het stemrecht onze voorkeur uit te spreken over ons openbaar vervoer. En idealiter, zou ik een uitbreiding willen zien van de invloed van de maatschappij op ons openbaar vervoer.

Het idee was ooit van de privatisering dat het “goedkoper en beter” zou zijn dan het door de overheid het laten organiseren.

Vervolgens proberen we voor een dubbeltje op de eerste rij te zitten en hebben we geprobeerd met de markt te reguleren, door de vervoersbedrijven te dwingen tot een bepaalde minimale standaard. En dan vinden we het collectief raar dat er geen commerciële partij is, die het wil uitvoeren.

Dit soort basisvoorzieningen moeten gewoon niet in handen van commerciële partijen komen. In steden zoals Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht, Groningen etc etc, zou het THEORETISCH kunnen werken maar in landelijke gebieden werkt dat gewoon niet. Voor een commerciële partij is de “winst” gewoon te laag, voor het risico dat ze lopen.

That will work as long as EF lenses are still available… But Canon already took some lenses out of production.

So basically, that’s gonna be a dead end path.

As a current Canon photographer (700D owner) going mirrorless is definitely the future. Canon and Nikon have basically given up on DSLRs. (https://www.engadget.com/why-nikon-and-canon-have-given-up-on-dsl-rs-133042286.html).

However, I want to highly stress out to avoid Canon for mirrorless. The reason behind it is that Canon has been “defending” their mirrorless mount relentlessly. Meaning, that no other 3rd parties without Canon’s blessing can make lenses for the RF mount. (Source: https://petapixel.com/2022/09/06/canon-confirms-its-going-after-lens-makers-for-patent-infringement/)

So unless you wanna spend big bucks on Canon approved lenses, I’d go with either Nikon, Sony or one of the other mirrorless brands.

Fun fact, Sony is actually quite permissive in the licensing of their E mount. So they will basically let everyone make lenses for the E-mount.

Debian Woody > Red Hat 7.0 > Slackware 9.0 > Slackware 10 > Debian > Ubuntu > Mac OS > Ubuntu > Arch.

At least for desktops and laptops.

For servers I’m still primarily running Debian (and one instance I’m running Arch).

The reason why I settled on Arch is primarily because the combination of bleeding edge and being stable enough for daily driving it. The AUR also adds sooo much, that there is nothing I really don’t need to manually install anymore.

For servers, I basically want a rock stable system. Hence why I’ve chosen Debian Stable.

For all the oldies in the room, Lindows / Linspire (me included)

Trying to merge Wine with Linux into one ““convenient”” package was overselling it at best and worst a lie. Back in '08 / '09 I tried to run it, just to see how good (or bad) it was. It was basically Debian with KDE and their special sauce on top to ““easily”” run Windows binaries. Especially in those day, WINE wasn’t as good as it is today. I think you can fill in the rest ;-)

I wish I could give you more upvotes because you deserve all the upvotes

I’ve tested it with the jellyfish test files, IIRC it can easily transcode the 120Mbits per second 4k video to 1080p!

I have an A380 running in my home server which runs Arch Linux with kernel version 6.4.6. I’ve had the card since since October 2022, so I’ve seen my share of “issues” with it, especially because my Jellyfin server runs inside of Docker and thus adds additional layer of complexity / things that can go wrong.

Having said that, for $120, BUY IT. It’s seriously one of the better cards are out there at that price. Previously I had an RX 550 (for which I paid about €75) and the A380 runs circles around my old RX550.

When I initially got it, I had some issues with is. Not surprising, early adopter and all. But the drivers are pretty rock stable nowadays and new features are being added constantly. The latest release of the Intel Media Driver added support for encoding HEVC 422 and improved performance for HDR tone mapping.

With regards to maximum streams, I am currently able to get a transcoding limit of 4 streams from H265 10bit (1080p) to H264 and still have some horsepower left over.

It’s even so stable and pleasant to use, I am genuinely considering getting an A750 for my desktop.

Edit: typing hard yo.

I went to their London concert, last year. That was also absolutely awesome! 🎉

This takes me back to the last SCANDAL concert, I’ve been too.

So thank you 😍

Hehe yeah, that’s always fun. The bare concrete. At least it’s better then Germany, where you have to bring your own kitchen…

When I had the viewing of my current apartment, they said they were gonna give me a 10 litre bucket of white paint. Even tho the place didn’t look that badly painted, but more because they always did that.

Yeah I think it’s the same… new apartments come with almost everything including the proverbial kitchen sink.

My current place (built in 2008) has a kitchen that includes an microwave oven, fridge and stove top. The only thing it doesn’t have is a dishwasher.

As a fellow Dutchy… my current place is the first place I ever lived in that came with a combination oven and microwave.

Previously I’ve always had to supply my own microwave / oven ;-)

Oh this guy is my inner spirit nerd.

Same…

Haha that is true… 🤔

Yeah exactly!

I’m curious to see how much impact it will have on flying and international car traffic.

Usually it isn’t hard to implement…but that largely depends on the backend.

Might take a crack at this, this weekend.
