Having a GPU is nice if you start letting other people access your Jellyfin server; transcoding for some video files can be tough on the CPU, and if it’s trying to do more than one at a time, stuff can get laggy. But unfortunately, trying to get my ancient GPUs to do anything has been a nightmare! Besides the architecture itself being old, it seemed as though Nvidia deprecated some of the features I needed on the official drivers, and the Nouveau docs have been a headache to sort through. I think, maybe, probably, it’s technically possible, but I’m burned out on messing with it at the moment.

That 970 might be recent enough to work with a little less hassle though!

100%.The strongest PC in my homelab right now is my old gaming PC featuring an i7-4790k, 16gb RAM, and sometimes it has a GTX 680 and others a 730 (neither right now though, for Reasons). 2nd place goes to a dual-core, 4-thread laptop from 2012 with hinges so broken I have to lean the screen back against the wall behind it. And before I retired that old gaming PC last year, that laptop ran my personal Jellyfin server for well over a year with no major issues!

To be fair, as the biggest instance, .world deals with the most bots and spam of any instance. Not surprising whatever countermeasures they’ve implemented also involve blocking some VPN-associated addresses; they’ve probably been used by bots before and were blocked due to having been abused, not specifically because they’re associated with a VPN.

What a reach

Yeah I have issues with my home setup at least that often. I can only think of two occasions where the solution took more effort than a reboot. Maybe we’re all just old enough for “every 6 months” to feel like every 5 mins

To clarify, by “issues” I mean “system stoppages not precipitated by me fucking with something.” I screw up my own system way more often than that lol

Intentionality has nothing to do with whether something is broken or not. If I take a brick to a window, is that just bad design?

Their computers stopped getting security updates for no good reason. They broke it. I have to go in and fix it.

Windows doesn’t generally break things? Weird, I wonder why I’ve been having to tour my clients’ homes and having to either circumvent their arbitrary 11 requirements or install a pirated version of 10 LTSC. Must be a fluke. Besides, Microsoft is following every tech company and trying to replace actual programmers with AI, so I’m sure they’ll never fuck anything up again.

And the instructions online for how to fix things are NEVER easier. What on earth? Troubleshooting Windows for the last 15 years has meant browsing a dozen forum posts with your exact issue and getting nothing but a bunch of script-following helpdesk people taking 3 paragraphs to ultimately tell you to restart your computer. And now, on top of all that garbage, you have to sort past a bunch of generated garbage articles. Better hope someone posted your problem on Reddit and didn’t get their post deleted for whatever reason cuz there’s no way to find anything useful otherwise

Would you mind linking your old account or some old comments? I’d love to have something substantive to show off to people who don’t believe how fascist Reddit is these days

It seems like it works most of the time so I don’t know why it would be inconsistent. I’ve also never seen it go bigger than -1

It’s something to do with how Piefed interacts with Voyager. Never seen it on my Lemmy account or on the browser version of Piefed. boy do I love being immediately proven wrong, this post is currently at -1 both in Voyager and on browser https://piefed.ca/post/114465

Does it still say -1 for you? For me it’s a positive 1
