Sometimes I think the internet needs an Alec symbol to shine anytime Technology Connections needs to be invoked.

I imagine it would be like the bat signal, but look like hand painted LED Christmas lights or something.

Much appreciated

Sudden buffering followed by a very long load time before it can get going again. Lowering the resolution resolves it for me.

What I’m seeing only on certain files though. And those files will always buffer again at the same point in playback. But it happens on things I watched without issue prior to my last update. So I suspect it’s a problem with a specific codec, but I haven’t taken the time to validate my hunch.

It’s been about a year since I tried it, so it’s probably worth another. Back then it did OK if I was doing straight passthrough (though CPU load was noticeably higher) but I got a lot of buffering when I’d try to have it transcode anything.

I host quite a few things on it (via docker) so the 920 is starting to show its load. I suspect that and the lack of hardware acceleration are the source of my issues.

No, diskstation runs a significantly modified 2.4 kernel. They say they backport CSM mitigations/fixes into their kernel, but community pressure is growing by the year for them to update.

I run plex on a synology nas whose kernel is too out of date for hardware accelerated transcoding in Jellyfin.

So that’s why I’ve done it my entire adult life. I always wondered.

I haven’t had issues this bad, but Plex has been buffering a lot more lately. If moving to Jellyfin didn’t involve new hardware for me, I would have already jumped ship.

Yeah, I mostly deal in m3 screws for my projects which, I know from experience, do get caught in type-A plugs.

Wow, great work!

Due my own personal bad habits, I fear I wouldn’t see 12 years out of most of those because of the lack of caps. A lot of random stuff ends up in my pocket when I’m doing projects. Screws and other things that will not have happy fun times with bare type A pins.

There’s not really a threat in geostationary orbits. It’s a much bigger area with far fewer satellites.

This is the update I’ve been waiting for.

Most made by large corps. For example, Apple got in some hot water not too long ago for changing the way they track in Apple Mail.

Servers track sent, delivered, bounced, and blocked.
Clients phone home with opened, read, CTR, and junk status.

I never stopped. I went from feeds in Netscape Navigator to Google Reader to Feedly and now I self-host Miniflux.

I turned that off so many years ago I forgot it exists.

Yeah, I was resistant to it for a while. I used the free version until I found I was running out of queries, then I got the cheap plan, and by the time they announced the $10 plan was going unlimited it seemed like a great deal. And I don’t have to worry about Kagi trying to break my ad blocker because there are no ads to be blocked.

Since I already pay for Kagi, I use their “Fediverse Forums” lens.

Firefox (for now) and Kagi

Now that 4.3 is done, our focus for the next release will be on implementing the highly requested features of quote posts

OMG, it’s actually happening!?

Aww, that’s the last version of windows I ever owned.
