The gold standard for transcoding these days is a newer gen Intel CPU with integrated graphics.

The integrated GPU on those intel chips can do Intel QuickSync / QSV which will handle a dozen streams at once without breaking a sweat.

What's a good HTPC OS and software? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

So far the closest thing was Plasma Bigscreen, but it's still in development.

Functionally, it's the right thing I'm looking for, but it's not polished enough to fulfill my needs.

If this allowed folders and a GUI for settings, I think it'd be a winner.

Yeah another user mentioned this - definitely my #1 choice if it were fully released.

Oh fuck yeah this looks like the one.

Probably gonna do Fedora + KDE Bigscreen.

EDIT: It's not released yet due to inactive development... bummer.

Wife would not approve of this because she loses her phone all the time. Also the kids don't have phones.

I am looking for a solution that can be controlled by my remote

Do you use steam big picture mode?

I'd prefer not integrating Steam too much, since this is a shared computer that my kids also use.

I do like the UI of big picture mode, so if there were something similar that could be used by a remote or controller, that'd be top tier. Steam games could be added in via shortcuts

I'm looking for the simplest form of UI to launch multiple different programs, including some games.

Currently running Windows 10 and using a FLIRC Skip 1S for launching Jellyfin and watching shows. Anything beyond those basic functions requires the wireless keyboard.

My goal is to not need the keyboard for anything and to launch games and all with the remote *or controller.

New travel method unlocked

This MP3 nugget is humiliating modern tech. in c/Dullsters@dullsters.net
[–] jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

The only drawback is that it only holds 1GB... my old CD rips had to be compressed to hell and back.

You may be able to crack it open and upgrade that storage. I have a similar little MP3 player with 16GB on an internal microSD card. It's possbile to swap out the internals.

I've been hosting a Tarkov server for some friends (SP Tarkov with FIKA). I also set up a headless client to run the AI calculations and WOW it is RAM hungry. The server froze several times after running out of memory.

Just upgraded from 4x8 to 4x32 GB.

How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I have a few things that I host from my house. I have read that it's better practice to route stuff through a VPS to not expose your home IP.

Here's what I've done so far: VPN setup on VPS with successful routing of containers. Confirmed by using a CLI IP check within the container which returned the VPS IP. I used PiVPN because I know it and it's easy to set up.

Where I got stuck: I pointed Nginx to the supposed IP:port of the connection, but couldn't get it to load.

What should I do next?

Does anyone have firsthand experience with Sceptre dumb TVs? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm in the market for a TV and I already use a HTPC as the main device. I am curious about the Sceptre TVs.

How is the image quality? Any input lag?

I've been making sliders and everyone loves them so far (sh.itjust.works)
 

I've made sliders about 4 or 5 times in the past couple months and they've gotten really good. I use Gibsons seasoning salt, a higher protein beef (88/12 was the last one), white onions, and Hawaiian rolls. Add whatever cheese we have at the time.

I brought one to my neighbor and he suggested horseradish sauce, which was absolutely stellar.

My kids, my wife, and my neighbors all say they're amazing.

Exposing Immich via subdomain - good or bad idea? (sh.itjust.works)

As the title says...

Is this a risky thing?

EDIT: I have a wireguard VPN set up for myself and it's always on so I can access *arrs and the like. I would like to expose immich on my domain to share photo albums and such.

Having trouble with mouse software (sh.itjust.works)

I just switched from Windows 10 to Bazzite with KDE 6. I have experience with linux before, but not as a main OS. I have a Logitech Performance MX. I used SetPoint on Windows to fine-tune things.

For some reason, my scroll wheel acts differently in almost every program. Firefox is the only one that feels normal. My scroll wheel clicks as I scroll, and in Windows that would do 3 lines up or down.

Nothing except Firefox follows the clicking, so all my scrolling is super fine-grained as if I were scrolling with a trachpad. I tried Solaar and that gave me an option to turn off smooth scrolling, but now I need to scroll 6 or more times to see any movement. Increasing sensitivity in KDE just means after 6 times of nothing, the next one is a huge leap. There's no middle ground it seems and I'm losing my mind trying to fix this.

Is there anything else I can do?

Authentik and MeTube configured, but MeTube doesn't load correctly (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I have a couple things set up:

The configuration:

  • DNS points to my IP
  • Nginx configured to point to Authentik for the metube subdomain
  • Authentik configured to point to the correct containers after authenticating

What I'm experiencing:
Upon initial login to Authentik, MeTube works correctly. Restarting or closing the browser causes MeTube to fail to connect to the server until I clear cookies and re-authenticate (see picture). Accessing MeTube by its port on the host IP works fine. All other services connect fine.

Does anyone know what is causing this?

Related note - I've seen MeTube do this before when the container wasn't even running. I think it has something to do with how much info the container caches in the browser or something.

qBit is showing and acting as firewalled but setup is correct in Gluetun (sh.itjust.works)

Setup:

Debian running podman. Containers and compose files are managed with Dockge. qBit and Gluetun are on a single compose file and all qBit traffic is routed through Gluetun.

qBit seems to starts first before Gluetun is fully set up and qBit doesn't see the open port. Every time I start them together, I have to manually restart qBit again once Gluetun is ready. Once it's restarted, it shows as open and connected again.

I tried looking for ways to delay startup in a compose file but I didn't get any results.

Is there a solution to this?

Need help using my portable monitor with a pi 4 (sh.itjust.works)
 

I've got a portable monitor that only takes one single USB-C input. The Pi 4 can't deliver enough power to keep it on. The monitor power cycles endlessly when plugged into the pi.

Is there a way I could give it more power somehow?
