I have much more powerful hardware than you but Jellyfin shouldn’t take more than a few seconds to load directories.

That has been my experience as well with accessing it via the web interface. I read up on the kodi addons a bit more. As I understand it the jellyfin addon integrates the jellyfin library and has to sync it. I think this causes the delay for me. I think I will give Jellycon another try, since it accesses the libraries themselves. I will take a look at my media management and refine the folder structure to make it work.

TBH I find Jellyfin works best with media that can be scraped or that I’m willing to create nfo files for.

Metadata is actually an aspect I have little trouble with. There are solutions for TV and movies and pinchflat actually provides metadata for the youtube videos in a format jellyfin can use.

Pinchflat - How do I get media into Plex/Jellyfin/Kodi?

Thanks for the links. Since my youtube use would mostly consists of single videos, this might work for me.

Thanks for the info.

I used the piped addon for youtube.

I have been using piped and invidious in the past as well, but with youtube cracking down more and more I have trouble finding usable instances at all. Hence my switch to freetube, which mostly works so far.

I’m not that invested in the switch 2 discourse, but always chuckle when someone says “now I can play Zelda at 30 fps or more”.

Paying for a new console, because the last one was incapable of playing games at an acceptable framerate is a weird argument for your purchase.

Some Nintendo games are undoubtedly masterpieces, but that doesn’t excuse some of their business decisions.

Damn, for me Jeff, Dan and Mitch/Mike formed the new nucleus and were quite entertaining.

Usually I am open to change, when it comes from a creative directive. However Giant Bomb seems increasingly to be jerked around by corporate interests in faster intervals. I have doubt’s that GB will keep its identity and not just be a name.

Thanks a lot! Sometimes the internet is just wizards. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

badspace has a RSS feed? I thought signing up for the newsletter was the only way

Europa Universalis IV: 2000h

Team Fortress 2: 3000h

This is really hard to answer, because I think it highly depends what kind of player you are.

I don’t play optimally. Yes, it’s fun to haul yourself around with the grappler at breakneck speeds and stop just in time not to get squished, but I’m not that good at it. I also don’t limit myself to the most valuable parts and move on to another ship, but collect the last metal frame. I would make more money in less time, but don’t like the idea.

Overall the game stays the same with a few mechanics that get added (explosive charges and something that screws with your salvage and has to be solved first). The system in the ships get more complicated and you need to solve several steps before you can “solve” a problem.

I play Hardspace Shipbreaker when I want to relax.

You are a worker in a spacedock and dismantle ships with a cutting and grappling tool and divide the components into resource bins. It has a chill soundtrack and it’s fun to float around with thrusters and figure out how to separate the different parts.

“Dragon gives away hoard after death. That will fix all the lives he ruined, right?”

Alternative title: “Follow these 17 convoluted steps to stay in your abusive relationship longer.”

In EVE everything within 1000km is on the same “grid”. within a solar system you can only warp to known locations. That includes locations that were manually saved or celestial objects like moons and planets.

That means when someone warps to a moon, they can see anyone who warped to that moon, since they are on the same grid.

A safe spot is a location that isn’t on the same grid as a known location. You can still be scanned down by someone, but there are ways to know about it.

Edit: Its been a while and I’m no expert, so anyone feel free to correct me.

To anyone who finds EVE fascinating, but doesn’t actually want to play it themselves, I can highly recommend the “Empires of EVE” books by Andrew Groen. The two volumes span the time from beta to 2014 and talk about the wars and empires of Null Sec. The author interviewed loads of players. It’s a fascinating read.

Thank you. You just gave me a flashback to Total War: Rome campaign I played as a kid. I didn’t play long, because it got boring fast. I had exclusive horse archer armies that wiped out whole armies without losses.

IIRC TrueNAS next release will include RaidZ1 with 2 disks

As for migration, you might be able to create a degraded pool initially, copy over the data, and add the parity disk last.

I actually asked in the TrueNAS forum about this idea. According to some knowledgeable users this might work. For anyone interested, details here. The next major release (planned for end of October), should make this easier.

“Pay no attention to the next console behind the curtain! Buy our stuff!”

Maybe it’s just me, but I think entities that deliberately spread and use malware should be punished and held accountable. Too bad these entities help write the laws.

Not participating in a disinformation war reminds me of the hesitation to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory with the supplied weapons. What incentive does thr other side have to stop?
