    We technically never beat the south. We made peace with them so they could infect the union and bring it down again later. The felling of Nazis also don’t happen at all, we literally hired them. The fall of nazism in Germany was a thing, but the United States wasn’t as important in making that happen as you think. We were more useful in helping rebuild countries since we still had a functioning economy and industry.

    And until Trump is dead, he hasn’t been defeated. He will just keep coming back. The grifter needs to stay in power to avoid consequences this will just keep happening.





  • It’s oddly comforting to buy into the idea that killing one man could solve the world’s problems but it’s not reality. Trump is just a fall guy at this point. He has very little remaining mental facilities. He’s a husk. And his absence will only be mourned by his cultish followers.

    The GOP are totally cashing in on this. They are the real villains here and are just using Trump to get their way. If he dies, they will toss some other obedient dumbass on the pile and continue.

    Luigi got a conversation going and scared rich assholes by pointing out they are literally living in the same hell they built themselves, surrounded by all those tortured souls. But Luigi is not some kind of Jason Bourne. He’s not going to take out the Republican party. No one person can do that.

    That being said, we do technically outnumber them. And while distasteful everyone does technically get one chance to murder whoever they want. There are consequences sure but at this point there are consequences for waiting for another Luigi that may never come too.

    Personally, I’d like to see another attempt just to have everyone argue over wether it was another political stunt or not.









  • So yes and no on that recommendation. If you are just hosting content for local consumption, transcoding is unnecessary since you have the network bandwidth to just throw the data directly to whatever is playing it. So weaker hardware is perfectly fine. If you are doing lots of concurrent streams or there is network access outside the house, the limited bandwidth can become an issue so transcoding suddenly matters and more powerful hardware comes into play.

    I have used many ARM SBCs and a few low-power Intel boards like my current N100 and they’ve all been fine. While I generally dislike Intel their quicksync is very useful in media server configurations. If you are going to be doing a lot of live transcodes, I would consider throwing an ARC GPU in there and having jellyfin utilize the transcode capabilities of the Intel GPU instead of the CPU as it can handle more simultaneous streams. Beware the xe driver as there are issues with it in certain configurations. Same with HuC/GuC. The older standard driver is more likely to just work. Jellyfin and the archlinux wiki have great documentation on this.

    NVIDIA used to be top tier here but their transcode tech is pretty old by this point and the quality, while acceptable, isn’t the best. Intel beats them. AMD, generally a preference for me, has a terrible media transcoder. Easily the worst quality of all of them. For raw compute and pushing pixels, AMD all the way but for transcode I would pass.

    So to summarize: cheap out if it’s just local access. Transcode is pretty much unneeded. If it’s outside the home and/or had many streams at the same time, Intel for the GPU and AMD for the CPU.
