[Fixed] Jellyfin video stutters on some files (all MKV it seems)

Hello fellow selfhosters! I reformatted my USB hard drive from exFAT to XFS because I needed a filesystem that could handle hardlinks. I remounted the hard drive and now jellyfin webUI has a severe stuttering problem on some videos, all of them are MKV but it may be a coincidence. On android (using exoplayer) the same files...

Yes, but if the server isn't fast enough to do it, then you're going to have a bad time.

Microsoft is getting rid of WordPad after 28 years – the veteran editor has been present in the OS since Windows 95::Microsoft has begun getting rid of another veteran application in its proprietary operating system. The company has released a new test build of Windows 11

Blackmist ,

It was useful back in Windows 98 when Notepad wouldn't open anything bigger than 64KB.

That's about the last time I used it.

Water is a C

ICE FUCKING COLD water is S+++.

But Microsoft already bought npm.

Careful posting this sort of thing. You might accidentally summon the Crazy Frog, and then we'll all be sorry.

$1.4 million vs the ability to steal as many Teslas as you want?

I'll take the money...

Blackmist ,

The fact that the "AI" can spit out whole passages verbatim when given the right prompts, suggests that there is a big problem here and they haven't a clue how to fix it.

It's not "learning" anything other than the probable order of words.

He does know he can just hire more people and have them work shifts, right?

Obligatory Brother Laser Printer comment.

Blackmist ,

In fairness, mine is probably even older than that. I think they still sell the basic models. HL-L2305W?

Although be aware the fingerprint reader is now behind the screen, and is a lot worse than the dedicated reader in my crappy 6 year old Chinaphone.

Blackmist ,

Pretty sure anything capable from the Windows XP era onwards could play an MP3.

Whether it run the bloated Chromium mess that the Spotify client is, is another matter.

Blackmist ,

This man has definitely watched homeless people fight to the death at an underground gambling club.

Blackmist ,

Who wants to live in a city centre though?

The only appeal is that it's close to work, and we no longer need to go to that.

Blackmist ,

Museums and music venues, sure.

But the other things exist in small towns too. And if I do want to go to a concert, or the football or a museum, I can just go. It's not like you go to these places every day.

Blackmist ,

Who said anything about living in the suburbs?

We didn't all build our towns wrong.

    Yeah, until they turn to mental people to solve their problems.

    Think something else.

    That's just Gareth from The Office (UK).

    Still looking for whoever put his stapler in jelly.

    What the fuck are tube socks? Are they not just socks?

    Am I supposed to be browsing TikTok and showing every cunt my ankles now?

    Blackmist ,

    Yeah, I read that. But when I searched for tube socks, all the pictures had a heel.

    In any case you want the two layer anti-blister socks for wearing with my cargo shorts. Them shits is magic.

    Scientists Use WiFi to See Through People's Walls (www.popularmechanics.com)

    “We developed a deep neural network that maps the phase and amplitude of WiFi signals to UV coordinates within 24 human regions. The results of the study reveal that our model can estimate the dense pose of multiple subjects, with comparable performance to image-based approaches, by utilizing WiFi signals as the only input.”

    The whole point of that scene was that he was overstepping the line.

    But then cops wear Punisher logos and Republicans play Born in the USA at election rallies, so who knows how the masses interpreted it...

    Blackmist ,

    The main factor is normally panic article like this.

    "Hey, the price is going to go up later this year!"

    *people buy now*

    *demand goes up*

    *price goes up*

    I would think they'd make more money by sending you to sites that use Google ads.

    The ads on Google's own pages are often fairly benign as far as internet ads go. I've certainly never had them tell me I'm the millionth visitor and try to reward me with the gift of an epileptic fit.

    Can it not just be socketed next to the CPU?

    We seem to socket CPUs just fine.

    Blackmist ,

    Current gen consoles becoming the baseline is probably it.

    As games running on last gen hardware drop away, and expectations for games rise above 1080p, those Recommended specs quickly become an Absolute Minimum. Plus I think RAM prices have tumbled as well, meaning it's almost Scrooge-like not to offer 16GB on a £579 GPU.

    That said, I think the pricing is still much more of an issue than the RAM. People just don't want to pay these ludicrous prices for a GPU.

    Blackmist ,

    It'll do for the few pc games I play. FFXIV don't need much to run. Even handles HL Alyx.

    Blackmist ,

    Good luck with that, Zoomers will never be able to afford to have kids.

    Blackmist ,

    That's right, never trust a private company that might go public in the future.

    That's why you should build your communities on Discord instead. 🤡

    Blackmist ,

    Just make it illegal to sell user data to "data partners", and use cross site tracking.

    Nobody actually "consents" to this shit. They just don't read.

    Blackmist ,

    Sure, but when everybody's Discord content vanishes behind a paywall, or makes you watch a 2 minute advert to see a Wiki, what are you going to do?

    Already I can't just browse the content on a Discord community without "joining" and all that bollocks.

    Like I'm sure Discord is better than IRC, but it's not better than a collection of open standards so anyone can run a server.

    Blackmist ,

    Having to join a server before you see its content is a good thing though.

    Joining to browse is in no way a good thing. Join to speak, yes. Join to read, no.

    Blackmist ,

    Options:

    1. Pay no extra and suffer annoying adverts in all movies and shows.

    2. Pay an extra £35.88 a year to get the same awful experience you had before.

    3. Save £95 a year and cancel it. Spend your savings on a VPN, and look into Jellyfin, Radarr and Sonarr. BEST VALUE

    Time for the antivax doomsday cult to extol the virtues of cancer.

    Ultrasound can push vaccines into the body without needles (www.newscientist.com)

    Vaccines can be delivered through the skin using ultrasound. This method doesn’t damage the skin and eliminates the need for painful needles. To create a needle-free vaccine, Darcy Dunn-Lawless at the University of Oxford and his colleagues mixed vaccine molecules with tiny, cup-shaped proteins. They then applied liquid...

    They were already terrified of phone signals.

    Only fast ones though. Slower ones can't penetrate the skin.

    I went on a site the other day, and a massive popup appeared before I could do anything.

    "We Respect Your Privacy"

    1200+ "data partners".

    Big blue "Accept" button.

    Yeah, no you don't.

    Blackmist ,

    One of the bosses at my work has a massive Fall Guy truck, and often has huge items delivered to work, just so he has an excuse to use it.

    "You won't get that in the back of a Fiesta"

    That's right dickhead, because we'd have the items delivered to our homes.

    I think the mangled English there is suggesting that some people don't care enough, and other people have enough money (to buy Windows).

    Not that it matters because who the fuck pays for Windows anyway? OEMs do, but not normal people. Everything since like Windows 7 has been a free upgrade, and normies get a new PC more often than that so get a copy with it.

    Chrome & Firefox are a false duopoly. Do we need another option? Should there be a public option? Should it come from Italy?

    Mozilla is ~83% funded by Google. That’s right- the maker of the dominant Chrome browser is mostly behind its own noteworthy “competitor”. When Google holds that much influence over Mozilla, I call it a false duopoly because consumers are duped into thinking the two are strongly competing with each other. In Mozilla’s...

    Blackmist ,

    It's called WebKit and it's used by Safari.

    That's your third option.

    Blackmist ,

    Gnome Web. Literally one Google search to find a browser using WebKit on Linux.

    But sure, pretend Italy of all people will build a new browser just for you.

    Blackmist ,

    Why does a government need to make their own browser to combat this?

    Just make sites to existing web standards that work in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Even the UK government is capable of this.

    Blackmist ,

    We're still looking at it.

    Blackmist ,

    I feel like they're eventually just going to embed the adverts directly into the video streams. No more automated blocking, even downloading will make you see ads. Sure, you can fast forward the video a bit, but it will be annoying enough that you'll see and hear a few seconds of ads each time, and you won't be able to just leave it running while you do other things.

    Blackmist ,

    The main issue in the push for electric cars, is that we're pretending that we can fix things with no lifestyle changes.

    And for the richer people, that's probably true. But there's a big chunk of people for whom the electric car revolution means no more personal transport.

    I accept that, but we need to invest in public transport exponentially more than we are doing. It needs subsidising up the wazoo so people outside the inner-city bubble can still get around. By just pretending that electric cars will reach affordable levels for the poorest, we're inviting trouble further down the line when they can't use their petrol cars any more.

    Blackmist ,

    They all seem obsessed with plastic grass now which is even worse.

    My garden is mostly weeds. Haven't cut it in 15 years. I pretend to be a trendsetting wild gardener, but really I'm just a lazy bastard.
