I save everything in mp3 128kbps. I compared the quality with higher quality and with my setup (Bose speakers & in ear headphones) and with my ears, I can't hear a difference. Opus is more efficient but my source is already in mp3 and I don't gain anything by converting it. If I had to convert from flac, I'd choose opus. 1 4k movie is so big, the size of music doesn't really matter at all.

swooosh ,

I'd just create a matrix room and invite everybody

Or a markdown document synced with nextcloud

swooosh OP ,

Using 10.8.13 didn't work for me but thanks for the suggestion

swooosh OP ,

I just used a live ubuntu image and it works out of the box with the same setup. No idea what's the problem with fedora. Unfortunately I'll move to ubuntu now.

swooosh OP ,

I move to ubuntu now :( it works out of the box.

swooosh OP ,

I couldn't get it to work even with installing several additional codecs and other packages

swooosh OP ,

I had it in podman compose first. That didn't even return the proper error messages and just skipped them if there was any. I can't recommend it. It works on ubuntu.

swooosh OP ,

Yes, I tried that. Doesn't work. It works with the official image on ubuntu. thanks for the suggestion

swooosh OP ,

Within docker, it's jellyfin-ffmpeg

swooosh OP ,

Yes

Restore immich photo backup?

I have been backing up the photos folder for my immich. Something weird happened with one of my hard drives so i had to restore. It has a folder for each year and inside there is a folder for each day. immich doesnt support the ability to drag and drop the year folder into the UI. What's the best way to get all my media back...

Immich-cli

swooosh OP ,

chmod 666 /dev/dri/render128

thx, it does not change anything.

swooosh OP ,

group-add keep-groups

thx, it does not change anything.,

swooosh OP ,

thx for sharing your experience with it

swooosh OP ,

I should not need to run a container in privileged mode. What's the container good for then?

Yes, there is no error, yet I was not able to transcode. I had rranscode to x265 and av1 enabled. Ever since disabling av1 it works, yet I have to check again. Meaning, probably the problem was that it tried to encode to av1 and that failed. Yet I still need to run it in privileged mode.

What file format do you store your media in?

Hello! I recently listened to a podcast that talked about how storing media files in .av1 format is very efficient and storage-friendly. I've been storing my files in .mkv format, but now I'm considering using Handbrake or a similar service to convert all my video files to .av1 if it's more compressed than .mkv. So;...

swooosh ,

The future is av1. Is it worth it to compress everything asap? No. Not all devices can play av1. You will still shoot pictures and videos in 264 or 265. Can you already edit av1? Do you do that? Check that everything you own and do can work with av1. You should prefer 265 over 264 nowadays.

Is it worth it for your own videos? It depends. If you have a lot, like terrabytes lot, of your own videos. Then yes, you could save storage. But, the time it'll take to reencode and the power consumption it needs isn't worth it. Just use av1 from nowon whereever possible if you export videos instead of 265 if all your devices and clients and friends who you're sending them to can play it. I converted all old media to 265 two years ago (or so) to have everything compatible. I do not plan on converting to av1 just for storage reasons. Storage is cheap compared to the time I invest in caring about it. Converting for compatibility yes, storage no. I switched to immich and I have no files on my phone or laptop anymore.

Torrents? No it's definetly not worth it to reencode. The guys who release the files are aware of av1 and they will switch as soon as almost all devices support av1 and people scream for it. It is not worth it to reencode imo. Just redownload once it's available. You can push av1 adoption by releasing videos in av1 yourself. Ask for it. Talk about it. Spread the word.

swooosh , (edited )

Same holds for avif and jxl. They are very storage efficient but jpg is still the best choice for compatibility reasons. You can use jxl to annoy chrome users because they can't view it and probably apple users as well but apart from that fun there's no reason to convert your whole library to it. Your devices, clients and editors have to support it. And we are still not there yet. Best is to spread the word that it'll be the future but the future is not yet today. Best for their adoption is to stay away from vendors who try to push their own standard like apple.

Export in avif/jxl if you know you can play it everywhere but don't convert a whole library to it unless you know you want have problems with it in the future. Jpg with 70% quality isn't that bad.

Rubbish

swooosh ,

Forget it please

swooosh ,

My original post was rubbish which is why i deleted it. In hindsight this reads as if I was calling out the upper level comment. I'm sorry.

    You can use element matrix service ems directly. No need for beeper

    swooosh ,

    You can always use distrobox. There's no need to run a distro because you need an app that's only available there.

    swooosh ,
    1. Create a distrobox with distrobox enter
    2. sudo dnf install htop
    3. distrobox-export --bin \usr\bin\htop
    4. sudo dnf install anyguiapp
    5. distrobox-export --app \usr\bin\anyguiapp

    after that you can use htop or anyguiapp like a normal command on your computer

    I should've guessed when you recommended ubuntu. Sorry for that.

    I don't think duolingo is good. But no, best I know is to make your own with anki

    I love it. Fedora atomic is amazing.

    And I thought it's popos which is German and stands for asses

    You can verify builds on android. That's just an iphone problem.

    Use Grapheneos if you need good security and privacy

    swooosh OP ,

    I've been running that since many months like that. Why did that break now ...

    It works in the same file. I don't want to have 10 containers in the same compose file.

    I checked, it works in the same file, thx.

    Removing "depends: gluetun" does not work either

    swooosh OP ,

    Immich has multiple services running. Having that within one file is good in my opinion. Or nextcloud with an external database.

    swooosh OP ,

    It has worked for months. Thank you. I'll se what I can do.

    swooosh , (edited )

    That is really cool. I wish I'd read more of such posts on "how do we get there, how did we get here".

    Most important answer:

    After deciding to support Ubuntu and X11 and Wayland

    I hope it'll work in distrobox such that you can run it on every platform

    swooosh ,
    • which one as well? it's the first project I know of that starts on mac
    • how do you get to that? That would be funny.
    swooosh ,

    Why?

    I'd use it for analysis and prose. I think it'll be ok in distrobox.

    swooosh ,

    Ok. So far I only use it for cli tools like pdlaftex, typst, R, and others. So far it works great. I assume the same for gui apps. Theming will be off but that's not a real issue as long as the app works.

    I don't know anything about Linux and the idea of installing it frightens me. Where do I start?

    I bought a laptop yesterday, it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I hate win 11 so I switched it down to Windows 10, but then started considering using Linux for total control over the laptop, but here's the thing: I keep seeing memes about how complicated or fucky wucky Linux is to install and run. I love the idea of open...

    swooosh ,

    It does not matter much which distro you choose, as long as you choose a bigger distro. They are all well supported linux systems. Use a live USB. You do not have to install it, you can plug it in and use it. Or, install via a virtual machine.

    swooosh ,

    It's a good question.

    Fedor does not provide an image for every DE/wm. Anyone can create a custom atomic fedora variant with the desired de.

    Moreover, you can create your own image and deploy it to 100 machines and all of them will have the exact same os and packages. This may not be useful for you as an end user directly but the dev who is developing the image for you (e.g. fedora in the case of silverblue) knows that you have the exact same comouter as him and if it doesn't work on your pc, it doesn't work on his, because it is the same. Hence, better support for you.

    swooosh OP ,

    I can't get my nvidia to work with it :(

    swooosh OP ,

    Thx. 130€? That's surprisingly cheap.

    I try to solve the problem that the cpu isn't powerful enough wheras my gpu isn't supported and I need a new one and I want to have a seemless experience.

    swooosh OP ,

    Without transcoding that works but if there's something off with the video file it stutters

    swooosh OP ,

    No idea :) it works on my phone...

    How do I need to configure jellyfin in order to work properly?

    I added

    device:
  - /dev/dri

    And I tried /dev/dri/renderD128 but both don't work. Moreover, I enabled encoding in HEVC format, hardware encoding and selected hardware accelleration with intel quicksync (QSV) and enabled hardware decoding for H264, HEVC, ...

    But if that's enabled, transcoding doesn't work at all on the player.

    I guess I fail at. any advice?

    podman exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo
Trying display: drm
error: failed to initialize display

    I managed to enable it by giving itnprivileged access.
