Innovative ideas are rarely smart ideas.

You completely missed the point there, damn. He’s saying those things are very likely to be bad investments.

Texas.

If you’re really worried about power use, you could switch to an itx motherboard with an soc laptop chip in it.

He probably killed himself because

Using someones suicide to preach about your own personal cause is a dick move.

Visually lossless means I couldn’t tell an image difference even when pixel peeping with imgsli. Good enough means I couldn’t tell a difference in video, but could occasionally see a compression artifact in imgsli.

The VMAF results are purely objective measurements. You can read more about it here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Multimethod_Assessment_Fusion

I consider the ‘good enough’ level to be, if I didn’t pixel peep, I couldn’t tell the difference. The visually lossless levels were the first crf levels where I couldn’t tell a quality difference even when pixel peeping with imgsli. I also included VAMF results, which say that the quality loss levels are all the same at a pixel level.

I know that av1, x264, and x265 all have different ways of compressing video. Obviously, the whole point of this was to get a better idea of what that actually looked like. Everything on the visually lossless section is completely indistinguishable to my eyes, and everything on the good enough section has very minor bits of compression only noticed when i’m looking for it in a still image. This does not require the same codec to compare and contrast with.

Frankly, for anything other than real-time encoding, I don’t actually consider encoding time to be a huge deal. None of my encodes were slower than 3fps on my 5800x3d, which is plenty for running on my media server as overnight job. For real-time encoding, I would just grab a Intel Arc card, and redo the whole thing since the bitrates will be different anyways.

From my blogpost, i’m using the following command to encode the video;

ffmpeg -i source.2160p.mkv
-map 0:v:0
-map -0:a -map -0:s -map_metadata -1
-c:v libsvtav1
-preset 3
-vf scale=w=1920:-2
-crf 23
dest.1080p.av1.mkv

Still waiting on the internal investigation results.

pedophilia, with excuses.

I checked my discord, and i think this is a case of discords shitty ui, not changing privacy settings. Yes, my checkbox in that exact location was allowing other people to find based on phone number contamination. However, when i visited the privacy page that i did know existed, that permission was still turned off for me.

Oh my god i love that.

Man-ish tush-u. It aint hard to see why the kid would grow to hate his name.

Manishtushu is nearly the worst name i have ever seen. Kids would absolutely wreck that guy all the way to college.

On the other side, it’s also really hard to keep warm even in 0/32 degree weather when you’re not being active.

Gotta be careful with osmc. It has so much choice that breaking is entirely possible to do accidentally. I absolutely love my little 4k box.

And it wouldn’t have gpio, would require at least a square foot of floor/desk space, and it would cost more to run. Price. Size. Gpio. Nobody is running their remote controlled car with a cabled desktop sat on it.

You’re funny. That makes the total 77$. Still not the 100$ + required accessories that a desktop needs.

Oh his point stands,

No it doesn’t. The power supply is 8$ and the case is 10$, from the official store. That’s 72$. Stop lying.

Not really. It’s made to run headless, and isn’t always used for compute tasks. I use mine for running servos. But accessories for the desktop are also not included, so your point doesnt stand regardless.
