That must be a bug. Once images are uploaded on my android, I can delete them all locally and it doesn’t het synced.

swooosh OP ,

Thx. Looks good markdown ftw

swooosh ,

On linux?

swooosh ,

People started saying apps to programs on computer as well. No idea who’s fault it is. Apple’s? Only old people call it software or so.

swooosh ,

if you use docker, docker ignores ufw rules

Good to know, thx

Thx for the correction

Go to the official website, download DaVinci Resolve for Linux and extract the archive. Then simply run the DaVinci_Resolve_XX.X.X_Linux.run

Volaris website not working for others on linux?

For a while now, I’ve been unable to actually view the Volaris website while using Ubuntu 22.04 (In a previous version I believe as well). I’ve tried Brave, Firefox, and Chrome with the same results so I don’t believe its browser specific (as most people use one of those 3 web browsers), which leads me to believe its Linux...

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 ,

What could I gain from switching? Playing mp3 will always be there and even if support is dropped in 30 years which is highly unlikely, the server can transcode on the fly. I’m unfortunately/ luckily no person with ears that can hear a slight difference between losless and 128kbps

swooosh ,

That is valid and good criticism of mp3!

I wonder if navidrome can handle switching from mp3 to opus.

swooosh ,

I’d test it first, I don’t expect hearing a difference

swooosh ,

Thanks!

Some questions about fedora

Hello. These questions are self-hosting related, but I feel they do partially belong here as they are also about fedora linux in general. I have a server which is currently running Debian. It has an arc GPU, and no matter what I do, video encoding refuses to work. I was thinking I might move it to Fedora, but have some questions...

swooosh , (edited )

I just moved the other day with an arc from fedora to ubuntu because i couldn’t manage to get hw encoding with jellyfin and podman. It ran without issues on ubuntu with docker. In case you manage to get it working, ping me, I’d love to move back to fedora and podman. Might have been podman problems all along.

I never had weird issues with fedora. Updating is seemless.

You just have to know what you do with selinux. With containers, you have to know that you have to append :z or :Z to the path you’re passing to it.

swooosh , (edited )

Yes, but never change a running system. I’ll go back to podman in a year or two but for now I’m happy that it works as is. It took me way too long and within a year, I’ll have forgotten how difficult it was.

It’s important that you only use one of both and not both on one system

swooosh ,

DE is more important than distro in regards to RAM. Ubuntu runs on a pi, it should be good on any computer

I’d just create a matrix room and invite everybody

Doesn’t it sound racist to promote people of only one skin color?

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...

swooosh , (edited )

Immich-cli

swooosh OP ,

chmod 666 /dev/dri/render128

thx, it does not change anything.

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.

Decision of Next Os

I was Nobara user, then I am using Fedora right now. I want to use things like Hyprland etc. and ya know, Its damn cool to say I am using arch btw. So I’ve decided to use Arch Linux. But everyone says its always breaking and gives problems. That’s because of users, not OS… right? I love to deal with problems but I don’t...

swooosh ,

Of course arch runs but you have to take care of everything. You have to install flatpak etc. Yourself. You will only do that if you keep up to date with the system. On fedora, especially fedora atomic the maintainers take care of it and somewhat teach you. There’s much more than just flatpak. You have to know the system or being eager to research everything. It’s good to understand linux but not if you just want to own a computer and use a text editor and browser. I’m not op btw.

swooosh ,

All good. Arch is just not for someone who doesn’t care about the computer at all and who doesn’t want to know what a firewall is. And it doesn’t matter which distro you use, you should always use the arch wiki. That’s the holy grail.

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

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.

swooosh ,

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

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

I added


<span style="color:#323232;">device:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  - /dev/dri
</span>

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?


<span style="color:#323232;">podman exec -it jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/vainfo
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Trying display: drm
</span><span style="color:#323232;">error: failed to initialize display
</span>

I managed to enable it by giving itnprivileged access.
