Oh, Syncthing? It could definitely do this, I’ve had it happen.

Once files are deleted, ST will have the deletion in it’s database. You can recreate the files all you want, ST is going to delete them.

The same problems exist in the fedivwrse, so it’s not because of profit.

Profit makes it worse, but the real problem is humans can be shitty - all of us - at one time or another.

Progress will eventually happen. Choosing to place progress first risks enabling smaller groups to concentrate power.

Is the SMB share set read-only?

This is a strange one.

Lol. I feel your pain.

I setup a 2.5TB RAID box in 2011, thought it was going to last a while.

Now my server has a single 8TB data drive, my NAS is 7TB, and I have 2 4TB drives and everything is replicated between them.

Now I need to build another NAS as all this stuff is aging.

Cool, thanks!

The reality is most students are trying to simply submit a project the teacher will accept and grade well while not killing themselves doing it since they have other classes they have to pass.

If you want to change this, the entire post-secondary system would have to change.

I’ve had the opposite experience with Mikrotik.

I really wanted to like it, but (I say this as a former Cisco instructor) their approach to UI and documentation is terrible (the docs don’t tell you what’s what, just tell you how to setup a specific config, without explaining what they’re doing or why, even worse, they start numbering their eth interfaces from 1 - it took me a while to figure this out).

Worse, it was unstable as hell. I setup one just as a test, with one laptop connected via ethernet. Every couple days I wouldn’t be able to even ping the laptop - I’d have to reboot the router, manually, since it had become unresponsive.

This with a simple config (just eth2 is LAN, eth1 is external), and no rules.

It may have been a faulty unit, but as a consumer I can’t risk assuming this, especially given the very poor docs and clumsy UI/config approach - it all indicates this is a very immature product, definitely not something I’d recommend to a newbie.

I hope they can really improve - the form factor is excellent, the price point is unbeatable, the capabilites of the hardware are extensive.

port scanning is not authorized traffic

Hahahahahaha

And?

So what card are you using?

50TB?

Dang, thought I was doing well at about 5TB,haha

Hahahaha, damn, that’s brutal.

I don’t think connectors were cheaper because of inconvenience, I think they made them cheaper to entice flyers so they could fill local connector flights.

I was surprised to find a Jellyfin client for Samsung Tizen tv’s at all (despite it being a major brand) - I hadn’t considered this may be a client issue. I’ll take a look, thanks!

I’ve seen that error, so I re-encoded without subs. Now it says it’s transcoding because the device doesn’t support the codec, which I know isn’t correct.

Thanks!

I think the arrow is pointing at something that around here is called a potato.

It’s transcoding because Jellyfin decided it needs to transcode for some reason, frustratingly. I’ve converted to formats/codecs I know the TV supports, and yet Jellyfin still transcodes, with a message about the TV not supporting the codec (yet if I play the file on the TV from a thumb drive, it works fine with the crappy built-in media player). I’m using the Jellyfin client on the TV because it’s easy to install without a Samsung account, and I don’t think I can get Kodi on it (besides my experience with Kodi is not great, it’s sluggish on real hardware, I can only imagine how bad it would be on an underpowered garbage TV and I don’t know if a client exists).

From a bigger picture perspective, I think Jellyfin as a client will be better for my family. It’s a simpler interface with less to get them in trouble.

I’ll need transcoding for other/non-local devices anyway, so I still have to address the issue (annoying iPad for example).

If you have any advice about troubleshooting why it’s transcoding, I’m all ears. This is the first I’ve gotten Jellyfin to work after multiple attempts over the years, across multiple servers and clients, so my experience with it is limited. I’m just glad it works at all - it’s the first I’ve gotten to work other than Plex.

Thanks - at least now I know it shouldn’t be transcoding.

How much video is really needed for transcoding?

I ask because I need to get a video card for transcoding to a 65" 4k TV. I’m converting all my DVDs to MKV and using Jellyfin as my server and client. It transcodes lighter stuff fine (cartoons, old TV shows), but better movies get some artifacts that don’t occur if I have the TV play the same file from a thumb drive.

I’ve read Jellyfin’s recommendation, but it’s really just “use at least this video chipset”, not a particular card, so I’m trying to determine what card I should get.

Ok, this actually made me chuckle out loud.

You really nailed it
