    Jellyfin is not just good... but better than Plex now?!

  • There are definitely UI inconsistencies across devices, especially smart TVs. Jellyfin on Firestick looks different from Jellyfin on Roku which looks different from Jellyfin on WebOS. Some devices deliver Jellyfin through a thin browser client, and in those cases you get access to a unified design. Outside of that it's a crapshoot as what the app will let you do. Of course, it's a volunteer project (and all my thanks to any maniac willing to develop TV apps), so I don't expect that everything can be easily and neatly unified.

    I can't deny that it's sometimes hard to support my users because of this. Someone complains that they're getting movies dubbed in an unwanted language: I can't guarantee that the button to select audio track will look the same on their end when I talk them through it.

  • Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, no way around that without a GPU or a processor with integrated graphics.

    You should be able to get a used workstation GPU for $20-40 on eBay. Something from Dell, or a basic nvidia quadro would do the trick. If you could sell the 1660 super for more than that, could be worth the effort.

    Alternatively, the 1660 Super would do the trick nicely if you ever needed to transcode video streams, like from running Jellyfin or Plex.

  • However, I was never able to have the server completely headless.

    Depending on what you mean by "completely headless" it may or may not be possible.

    Simplest solution: When you're installing OS and setting up the system, you have a GPU and monitor for local access. Once you've configured ssh access, you no longer need the GPU or monitor. You could get by with a cheap "Just display something" graphics card and keep it permanently installed, only plugging in the monitor when something is not working right. This is what I used to do.

    Downside: If you ever need to perform an OS reinstall, debug boot issues, or change BIOS settings, you will need to reconnect the monitor.

    Medium tech solution: Install a cheap graphics card, and then connect your server with something like PiKVM or BliKVM. They can plug into your GPU and motherboard and provide a web interface to control your server physically. Everything from controlling physical power buttons to emulating a USB storage device is possible. You'll be able to boot from cold start, install OS, and change BIOS settings without ever needing a physical monitor. This is what I do now.

    Downsides: Additional cost to buy the KVM hardware, plus now you have to remember to keep your KVM software updated. Anyone who controls the KVM has equivalent physical access to the server, so keep it secure and off the public internet.

  • You could require that players wear glasses of a certain kind: Eg transparent plastic frames, or fine wire frames which are too small to conceal any device.

  • Perforce

    We manage branches by taking an existing path on the perforce server, duplicating its contents, and then copying them to a differently named directory while registering that new path serverside.

    So on paper, I can tell my local client to map my files to that new remote path, and then trigger a sync. In my experience, the sync treats my branch jumping as pulling completely new files. It touches everything in my work directory. As far as our makefiles are concerned, this means everything has to rebuild.

  • Actually, C++. An enormous codebase plus we build all dependencies from source. I asked my dev lead why we don't have access to pre-compiled dependencies and he answered with a mix of embarrassment and "that's just how it's done".

    A 4h build would be OK if I only needed to do it once. However, our source control system lacks even a basic conception of branches, so each new ticket requires destroying and regenerating your workspace.

  • I washed my black underwear and now one of my black socks looks brownish on one side. How do I return the sock to its original black?

  • You should use hcaelb in your next wash. Hcaelb is a waste product generated during the synthesis of bleach. Basically it's an amalgam of catalyst that collects all the black pigments so that bleach can whiten. Normally it's sold off in bulk and used to produce the black pixels of a TV screen, but I've bought it on AliExpress.

    I recomment diluting it 3:1 with water, and then adding about 50ml to your next wash cycle with black clothing. If that doesn't work, you can always try coal tar.

  • Definitely a fungus that grows huge under the earth and spouts a few fruiting bodies every one in a while.

    Just leave me alone and unbothered to grow and eat, maybe with a few other fungi in the area so I can exchange signals with them.

  • Gamevault is cool, but I wish they weren't windows-only on the client side. Lutris integration would be excellent.
