This is a problem with more than just Microsoft. Any software (game, application, library, whatever) that has had many years of updates some of which are breaking, will have this problem with docs.

Oh you are using version 5.5.24 of xyzlib? All these docs are a mixture of stuff when 4.2.57 was out and stuff someone tried to update when 7.5.14 released.

It still has problems. Mainly you need to get power out there and the heated exhaust water can mess with the ecosystem.

I remember there was talks about a floating data center in the ocean.

My son had to edit a video for a project in high school. I installed kdenlive for him and he had no problems figuring it out, and it did a great job.

I have read that modern servers have np. Bots you can add so you can do dungeons and stuff. I haven’t tried myself. Would love to find a guide on how to set up a Linux host.

I would look into Tailscale based on your responses here. I don’t know what your use case is exactly but you set TS up on your server and then again on your phone/laptop and you can connect them through the vpn directly. No extra exposed ports or making a domain or whatnot.

If you want other people to access the server they will need to make a TS account and you can authorize them.

I mean that is already a problem, if you ask a question you have to be ready for the answer to be a mismatch of version conflicts.

But that is ok. ChatGPT is a tool that can either help you or hurt you. I like to think of it like a power hammer. If you are doing a roofing job, it can help you get things done faster compared to a manual hammer, but you still need to know how to build a roof to get started.

ChatGPT is great at helping you organize your thoughts or finding an answer to some error message buried in some log file, but you still need to know what questions to ask and you need to be ready for it to give you a stupid answer and how to get around that.

I recently switched my instance from gitea to forgejo because everyone said to do it and it was easy to do.

The option to run one cable to the monitor, or reversely charge your laptop with one docking cable.

Maybe you could use this to daisy chain monitors and power them all.

I understand how the public key encryption works when you are messaging person to person. Does anyone know how it works with group chats?

It can be forked by anyone, but what is already out there will always be there.

And how does this hurt all of us who use it for open source projects?

I’m not sure what you were trying, but this works for me:

Never use hardware encoding. That is intended for real time transcoding. There are not many settings that work since it is just sending the file to the video card and letting it do its thing.

Slower is better. If you set the software encoder to very slow it will produce an output that is very high quality per megabyte. I generally don’t care if it takes twice as long to encode it as to watch it. I queue it up and let it run over night.

Choose the right codec. I like 10 bit HEVC, because I know it will work on the clients I play it from. When you rip a DVD using MakeMKV, the video will be MPEG-2, it was designed in the 1990’s and converting the file to a modern codec will save a lot of space. I don’t reencode 4K UHD rips much since I don’t want to mess with losing the hdr or other color features that I like in watching those files.

Audio tracks: I will rip out audio for languages I don’t speak, or desctiptive audio track, but go out of my way to label things like director commentaries. I don’t reencode the audio tracks at all, you won’t save much disk space by messing with them compared to the video tracks.

The network effect is real. You can have the best, most awesomely-designed social media platform ever and it will be useless if you are the only person on it.

You can try to convince all your contacts to switch away from whatever app is causing the most evil today, but you also have to convince all of your contacts’ contacts and all of theirs as well.

I’m excited to see what the refactoring will allow the dev team to produce. Technical debt is a really good thing to clean up but there might be some growing pains in the mid term.

1080p is fine, but I really like the colors of HDR. I am NOT a fan of the higher refresh rate for movies though.

I have had good luck with my two shields. I have both the tube one and the flat one. I have given thought to building a new client box out of either a mini or a shield or something, but the Android TV client is really good.

This is awesome. I would like to learn more about video segments. What is the best way to tag them? Is it something that can be done with MKVtoolNix or are there automatic tools available?

And this picture doesn’t show the more recent models with the mag lock power, hdmi, and sd card reader.

Type c ports are the best. I connect my monitor through one and it has a type ports on it for a wired keyboard and speakers.

A hole would be something, this is NOTHING!
