  • Just start listening to dubstep and you’ll stop noticing 😆.

    Maybe run lm-sensors and make sure the CPU/GPU isn’t being thermothrottled? I’d usually look at dmesg and look for red stuff. Any hardware issues are usually pretty obvious.

    Try other apps. If you youtube or VLC behaves the same, the problem may be outside of jellyfin. If not, it narrows it down.

    If could even be the server not being able to transcode in realtime. Try watching a file known to already be in a suitable format. It should direct stream and be much less load on the server. I’ve seen server encode CPU saturation and it does kinda look the same as client decode stutter. If it’s the server, you’ll probably see the same stutter from another device such as a phone.



  • Agreed. It’s an uphill optimization battle. We’re now in a world where you need 6GB RAM to chat on Discord while scrolling Facebook.

    Ubuntu and its apps (particularly Firefox) are incredibly efficient and respects your hardware resources. I can write a web page with a 5MB RAM footprint. It’s when you open the New York Times that your swapfile gets face-slapped.

    Funnily enough, an Ubuntu server will run on a half-eaten potato. I’ve got 16GB in mine, and I’m running servers for LAMP (Nextcloud and Wordpress), NTP, Samba, Mail, Jellyfin, tor, XMPP, CUPS and a few other things. It typically uses around 2GB at idle.






  • K-9 got rebranded to Thunderbird. I see Mozilla are releasing K-9 at the same time, but I’m unsure why. Thunderbird is double the size so there must be some kind of difference

    I’ve found that I too had to keep Google Play Store because some apps complain if it goes missing. However I’ve blocked network access for it (something GrapheneOS can do) and it’s effectively cut off from the mothership.




  • On the day my lung collapsed, it wasn’t much different.

    I basically did the exact same thing at a go-kart centre where adult karts were on at the same time as 10 year olds. They’re like weaving traffic cones.

    I feel for Bearman. He walked from that wreck and it looked like it fucking hurt.

    They were arguing about letting Stroll race at Melbourne because 7% is deemed the acceptable speed delta. Going 45km/h slower than Bearman @308km/h is a 17% difference.
