LazerDickMcCheese OP , to Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System in Help Troubleshooting Sudden Slow Speeds

So I checked the available logs after streaming a playlist for a while, which I've never done before (probably a huge mistake on my part). I have a generic "log_xxxxxxx.log" file that doesn't seem to have any relevant info, but the only ffmpeg logs I have are related to video files from yesterday. Interestingly, the transcoding speeds seem to slow down over time; flac/wav files seem fine at first, but struggle to play after 30 minutes or so in a playlist of constant playback.

I've disabled the native antivirus and Simplewall supposedly blocks most (if not all) of the Microsoft bloat

Outside of Jellyfin, the computers seem to communicate just fine. Transfer speeds are what I would expect and disk read/write is usually fine as well. Like I mentioned in the post, it self-resolved since I made the post. But my concern is the same: what could be causing the underlying issue? I'll check the logs later and I'll report back

Edit: forgot to mention that I have a few 5.1 SACDs @ 24/192k that have always completely choked my system. Doesn't matter which machine or how extreme the transcoded settings are, it nukes the playback

LazerDickMcCheese , to Privacy in Removing ads from Smart TV YouTube app

That's a really hard problem to solve. But my advice, and what was working for me last time I tried, was using the Pi-hole as an exit node and forcing as much traffic through it as possible. The only downside to this is that your Pi-hole dashboard will be less interesting because your devices will show as the Pi-hole itself. If you're already doing that, then my only guess is getting obsessive about domain blocking until it stops, and even that will have its limits.

I second this. And the transition was made easy due to anti-consumer practices. Plus, you can take your media on-the-go for free

They have the money to do it. And historically, the CIA has done similar things globally for decades

I love the Jellyfin team so much

LazerDickMcCheese , to Privacy in Using Discord in a private way?

Yeah, I text and call them

LazerDickMcCheese , to Privacy in Using Discord in a private way?

I get your point, but that's exactly what I do. When someone say "just use discord", I drop their product/service/etc. and move on. I'm not saying everyone else should do that, but my life is too short for "support" via Discord

LazerDickMcCheese , to Privacy in Using Discord in a private way?

I know interested people don't like to talk about it...but we, the people, should really be moving away from Discord. A bucket of water doesn't fix a burning house, ya know?

LazerDickMcCheese , to Privacy in [Solved] Now DDG also got AI features. Is it good or bad for Privacy?

Then I'd suggest SearXNG. I use public instances because no one has made a way for me to natively host it myself, but I recommend it regardless

LazerDickMcCheese , to Privacy in [Solved] Now DDG also got AI features. Is it good or bad for Privacy?

Yep

Some day surely Windows and Mac will get something similar to SearXNG, then you won't have to worry about this stuff

LazerDickMcCheese , to Privacy in What's The Best Adblocker For Android Phones?

RethinkDNS is a great option unless you already have something in place that you want to use as well.

For example, I have a pi-hole and a server that I'd like to use 24/7. There's a few ways to do it, but I'm an idiot and need a simple, hard-to-ruin method. So I use the pi-hole as an exit node with TailScale

LazerDickMcCheese OP , to Privacy in Best OS for OnePlus Nord N10?

Yes, I am. To be more specific about the custom ROM, I'm trying to find a direct link to a trustworthy source...because I've looked and couldn't find one myself
