  • Regarding Jellyfin, if the PC you got has an Intel CPU then using Intel QuickSync would actually easily outperform the NVIDIA card for transcoding.

    Up until very recently I was using a cheap i3 to power my Jellyfin instance that often has 5+ streams going at a time. (The only reason I upgraded was that I had a friend getting rid of an i7 from the same gen lol)

  • I hate that AI has made it harder to enjoy code reviews. I know it’s always been a common thing to have ripped code in a PR but at least it took a tiny bit of skill to adapt it properly to the codebase.

    If I see a clever (and maintainable ofc) solution in a PR now I usually just assume it was AI that wrote it. This goes the other way too, if I write some code I’m proud of, I assume my reviewers will just assume it was generated :(
