Did you feel the smack on the back of your hand? Stop it. Don’t spend money you don’t need to spend. If anything, and you’re really, really bored, save your files and redo your work/reinstall the clean way you wish you had done to begin with. That’ll get you through a couple of weeks of busy work.

I want your “clinically deaf” part. There are so many people in this world I’d rather not ever hear their voices. Lmao.

Jokes aside. If your current machines are working fine and the $35 a month isn’t breaking the budget, then why replace them? I’ll only replace this one I have when something major fails in it, like the motherboard just dying or something I can’t fix. I’ve already replaced the fan on it. It was like $7 from eBay or something like that. But I’m that guy who never replaces things unless they absolutely need replacement. So, if you’re not that guy, ignore my dumbass. lol

Haha. No worries and no hard feelings towards the mods. This little computer has been a great machine for a bunch of things running on it. I installed debian on it and went to town. I’ve even made my Synology NAS a mounted storage on it and switched everything to debian. Thing’s been a champ with no hiccups.

Lmao. Why?

How does rule three apply to a comment? lol. I’m not the poster, I’m replying to a post that doesn’t break Rule 3. Oh well. I tried

My comment got deleted for some reason

Get yourself a tiny computer like this one and go to town. This is actually what my whole “homelab” runs on. lol. I have my own Nvidrome, audiobookshelf, jellyfin, invidious, pihole, own DNS with unbound and some more, all running on this little thing. It runs so well. I don’t ever have issues.

Photo generator is ok. But the text one is very bad and gives so much false info. I don’t trust it with anything at all. I find Leo from Brave much, much better.

Out of all the AIs, Gemini has to be the worst one.

Remind me of the hardware you’re running on?

I have a Ryzen 7 5800xt for the CPU, and an RX 9070xt for the GPU

or you have Precision Mode enabled

never checked that box

if you see “libx265” or “libx264” in the top right

Yes, that is what I have now libx265(SW) - HEVC

Can I ask which version you downloaded?

histv-linux-full.AppImage

One additional thing that might or might not be the app’s fault, but I use an app called App Manager to install and integrate my appimages into my system, but it is having an issue with the .png image of the app. Just wanted to let you know about that. Your doesn’t have an icon when it is downloaded, only when it is launched. so it just looks like a file with a generic file icon in my downloads folder.

I haven’t really had the time to convert many. Just one and It is just sitting there at 0% for a long while then it starts converting and the ETA is 22 hours for a 8GB movie. A couple notable things also: 1. the ui is kind of too small for a 4k screen and there is no way to adjust it. 2. this could very well be a user error, but I can’t, for the life of me, find where to set the output file type. I want to convert an mkv to mp4 or something but I can’t find that at all. 3. at the top of the right panel, there is this line that says “Extracting MP4Box…” that never goes away. 4. when I try to convert a movie (mine are all 4k HDR), a window pops up that tells me that DV tools not found, then offers me to download it, but nothing really happen when I click to download it. Could that be why that “Extracting MP4Box…” is sitting there at the top? This is on Cachy OS linux btw.

I was in the comments of the GitHub issue, kalzEOS. I’ll be trying it out when I got time. Appreciate it.

So, I wanted to try the app and it is giving me the EGL rendering whatever issue :/ Could you please make another post once you’ve fixed this issue.

If you have an android phone, you’re welcome to use my app for your music and audiobooks :)
Free and open source and completely private. Called it StillShelf. Have been working on it for a long while.

Edit: fellow self-hoster here, to be clear. I built this app because I host my own music and audiobooks and wanted an app to my liking so I got to work. AI was used to help build this app. Just to put it out there because I know some people aren’t fans of it.

Shit looks so fucking sexy. God damn.

Awesome. Thank you. I’m going to move them onto my nvme one season at a time and make the conversion so we don’t have to deal with the slowness of the HDD

Thank you so much. It’s literally the TV show Friends. I bought the Blu-rays for the whole 10 seasons years ago and I remember using MakeMKV app. It’s high quality because I ripped them to the highest the app allowed I remember but they take so much space that moving them around from that slow hdd I have them on takes literal hours. So, knowing what kind of show it is, what settings do you suggest?

Could you please expand on that? What do you mean?

Has anyone tried this? OP, have you? Is it fast? I have a tv show that I’ve ripped from blue-ray. It is 600GB and I wanted to save some space, but whenever I try to convert, it’s awfully slow. I have a pretty beefy setup, Ryzen 7 5800xt CPU and a 9070xt GPU.

Fully understand that. I still pay google $10 a month for 2TB storage for that reason alone.
