Don’t worry about vainfo. That should only matter if you use VA-API as the interface for hardware encoding your video. For Nvidia GPUs you would use NVENC instead.

What does your sunshine config look like? Do you have the debug logs for it?

This is Nvidia. It’ll be open source only after competitors surpass them in every metric, the technology is no longer used, and only 5 people are left who care.

I don’t think they’d do much better besides being safer, eventually. Just saying that’s the only place where they’d make sense to go.

Edit: giving it a bit more thought, they should also have greater passenger capacity for their size

Inner cities are better served by trolleys/buses anyhow. Self-driving taxis would work best at the edges of a city, or to fill gaps between train stations in suburbs

“De-privatize” is a really awkward phrasing for “nationalize”. Weird the way this article seems to dance around the word.

Quantity and quality aren’t the same, but it does feel inevitable that this would happen

Sorry, there are no PPAs that have all codecs compiled in? Is it illegal to distribute or something?

For what it’s worth, I use Mint with the Xanmod kernel installed and the kisak-mesa PPA. This means I get the stability, strong UI, and “just works, no fuss” factors of Mint, but a cutting edge kernel with an optimized build and gaming-specific tweaks to it, plus the latest release of Mesa. Every individual app I want to guarantee is fully up-to-date I just get the flatpak, which mint will offer to update through its gui updater tool, right alongside native packages. Steam and Heroic keep the games up to date and ProtonUp-QT lets me keep the Proton-GE versions up to date as well.

Anyhow, just putting that out there. I’ve used every major distro over the past 16 years and this is my personal “I just want it to always work and be up to date” solution for my gaming PC. Everyone will have different compromises for what they consider best.

Can’t you just install ffmpeg from a PPA rather than compile it yourself?

No, it’s one person who is so unironically salty that they post memes about how much they hate Linux several times a day.

Hey, don’t be sexist. There’s plenty of otherwise-tech-illiterate ditsy dudes in the same work pool.

My feed is aware of my politics and throws everyone I’m friends with or follow (and some who I’ve unfollowed) who wrote something objectively wrong or stupid that’s biased the other way politically.

It’s literally all rage bait unless I go in and manually block it from showing me those people at all.

I mean, they don’t HAVE to, but if they choose not to, the board of directors will push for a change in CSUITE personnel

If the board doesn’t maximize profit, the shareholders can sue them, so functionally they do have to.

Am I right to assume you’ve got a laptop? Otherwise 70C is a terrible temp to hit at idle

Generally the app is better. Compatible with more container formats, audio formats (surround sound, Dolby digital, etc), and has hardware supported decoding for h265 video in addition to h264.

At least in the case of a Jellyfin server, you can download media locally when you know you’ll be without internet

This dude’s videos impress me to no end

They’re gonna accept money from China in exchange for favorable trade deals.

Is that Reinhard Von Musel?
