I solved this problem by having all of my media in a supported format of all of my devices so no transcoding is needed. My Pi 4 can transcode two 480p streams simultaneously or a single 1080p stream but can’t do any more than that. However it can stream at least 4 streams simultaneously a mix of 4k, 1080p and 480p. It suits my needs unless I’m transcoding 4k due to subtitles 😵. Hopefully transcoding won’t be required for subtitles forever… right? Right?
What’s the format of the videos? I’ve tried everything I could think of to rip and transcode a 3D bluray.
My experience is it’s really a lot of work and with the prevalence of letsencrypt, there is not a lot of automated setups for this use case (at least that I have been able to find). It is kind of a pain in the ass to run your own CA, especially if you plan to not use wildcard and to rotate certs often. If you use tailscale, they offer https certs with a subdomain given to you:
[server-name].[tailnet-name].ts.net
That’s honestly what I’m moving towards.
Apparently this is a new driver which uses the open source headers and Linux kernel modules from nVidia’s proprietary drivers, and it doesn’t borrow very much from nouveau driver because that one has different names for things in their headers due to the clean room reverse engineering aspect of nouveau. Although I am not an expert on this so I could be wrong.
What is the SMT bug, how is it fixed, and how does it affect emulation? I had poor performance running Switch games and PS3 games. Will this help?
I see. GP said the same. Thanks for sharing!
True enough for VNC but we’re specifically talking about RDP, which is supported by Linux Mint.
Yea that looks pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Single node k3s is possible and can do what you’re asking but has some overhead (hence your acknowledgment of overkill). One thing i think it gets right and would help here is the reverse proxy service. It’s essentially a single entity with configuration of all of your endpoints in it. It’s managed programmatically so additions or changes are not needed to he done by hand. It sounds like you need a reverse proxy to terminate the TLS then ingress objects defined to route to individual containers/pods. If you try for multiple reverse proxies you will have a bad time managing all of that overhead. I strongly recommend going for a single reverse proxy setup unless you can automate the multiple proxies setup.
And here I am running a bare metal k3s cluster fully managed by custom ansible playbooks with my templatized custom manifests. I definitely learned a lot going that way. This project looks like it has just about everything covered except high availability or redundancy, but maybe I missed it in the readme. Good work but definitely not for me.
My first arch system and so far haven’t completely borked it yet haha
Yep it’s very annoying. Suddenly my system doesn’t have cuda anymore and it’s because of an update. Only fix that I’ve found is to reboot.
For a desktop system, I think something like NixOS is probably the way to go. Keep your home partition then blow away the system and boot if there are ever any issues then install the system from your backed-up system config file and you’re golden.
I’m glad we have companies helping to push the envelope and try new things. I may not always like the direction they take things, e.g., the Unity desktop turned me off for a few releases, and I always seem to run KDE since gnome went off the rails (imo), but it doesn’t hurt anything and the whole ecosystem is probably better for it. If it hurts then people move to alternatives and hopefully Canonical backpedals, or people move on and Ubuntu withers.
My biggest complains with Ubuntu lately are Firefox is a snap package and when it updates it yells at me to close Firefox so it can update it and if I wait too long it forces the it closed, and it gives me countdown notifications. Annoying and something out of Windows 10 forced reboot type shit. The other is the automatic apr upgrades break cuda/nvidia drivers forcing me to reboot the whole system. Pain in the ass.
I’ve upgraded several Ubuntu LTS versions to newer LTS and have been running fine. The problems come up when you wait too long and the repos don’t have the needed packages anymore. You can still fuddle your way through even that scenario and retain a fully working system.
I just had pacman uninstall itself the other day during a routine -Syu. I was finally able to figure out how to fix it, untar the pkg to / and then tell pacman to install pacman with —overwrite.
Sounds like a good option then!
Yep that’s why I use KDE. It has nVidia support for Wayland.
My understanding is some parts have to be done sequentially even though the parts themselves are multithreaded, now the different parts can all be done in parallel.
