  • The only thing I’d recommend against are pre-built NASes. Theyre proprietary AF and so overpriced for what you get if you don’t need the handholding of the consumer NAS software.

    The moment people realize a NAS is just a small factor desktop with a lot of space with good Ethernet speed, their eyes widen up the same way people realized the cloud is just someone else’s computer.



  • What do you mean by showstopper? I only encode my shows into AV1/opus and I never had any transcoding happening on any of my devices.

    It’s well supported on any recent Browser compared to x264/x265… specially 10bit encodes. And software decoding is nearly present on any recent device.

    Dunno about 4k though, I haven’t the necessary screen resolution to play any 4k content… But for 1080p, AV1 is the way to go IMO.

    • Free open/source
    • Any browser supported
    • Better compression
    • Same objective quality with lower bitrate
    • A lot of cool open source project arround AV1

    It has it’s own quirks for sure (like every codec) but it’s far from a bad codec. I’m not a specialist on the subject but after a few months of testing/comparing/encoding… I settled with AV1 because it was comparative better than x264/x265.










  • Playing CS 1.5 to source everyday/every night with the exact same person for years…

    After school? Running home and gaming till the morning

    During vacation? Non stop gaming

    During new year? Just a glass at 00:00 with family and gaming again till the morning…

    This was the best time of my life and probably the best childhood memory, until I grew up, met my first girlfriend, went to highschool/university and now having a job…

    I miss this good old days where you had nothing in between your fun and happiness.

    Now it’s just a mess of disappointment…

    Nothing fancy but I found an old RPI3 and want to selfhost Vaultwarden and piped on that thing to give my parents a way to watch YouTube without those nasty ads and give them a proper and easy way to store their password. (Over wireguard tunnel)

    Also If the universe aligns buy a N100 or 200? To host my own router/switch setup and finally take advantage of my 5Gbit fiber 🫤. I still need to figure out how I get WiFi AP to work with a N100…

    Not much but I have a lot other things to figure out but mostly software wise :).





  • Do you still have eggnog with alcohol? In my country they always sell boxes with the mention “alcohol free” but I have never seen any with alcohol on don’t even know what alcohol is mixed in and I’m really curious how it taste ?

    My brand probably doesn’t exist in your regional town but mine is simply called “Eggnog” from a regional milk producer.

    along with it’s sequel, “TRIGUN STAMPEDE”.

    That wasn’t a sequel, more like a reboot?

    I do agree on Trigun, but only the original run. I’m not all against reboots but TRIGUN STAMPEDE was a let down and the CGI graphics where awful and disturbing assfuck. But that’s just a personal taste I heard a lot of people liked it :)
