I'm convinced watchOS 11 is hinting at an Apple Watch 10 with better battery life
  • They charge fast when the battery is fresh and healthy. When the battery health gets shitty the software automatically switches it to slowly trickle charge to preserve it, although you can go into the settings and re-enable the previous fast charging.

    My SE is currently at 75% of its original battery capacity. I put it on at 8AM this morning after charging it all night, tracked one workout during the day and it is now almost 10PM and it is at 16% charge and dropping fast.

    Good job, Brits
  • The guy getting milkshaked is Nigel Farage, a right-wing politician and all-round cunt, best known for being the biggest Brexit cheerleader. This incident happened yesterday as he was launching his election campaign - the UK is having a general election next month.

  • Do you use both a personal desktop and laptop?
  • Yes, I have both. The desktop is pretty beefy and runs Windows (for now) and is mostly used for games and Adobe stuff. The laptop is a Thinkpad running Linux Mint, and is my couch computer. I use it for normal web browsing type stuff, and for managing my home lab server that sits in a closet in my basement. I also play some lightweight games on it via Steam/proton.

  • I'm glad we have trickplay now, but why isn't it on-demand?
  • It took about a week to generate for my library without hardware-accelerated MJPEG generation, at the default resolution in the Trickplay configuration. I let it use 8 threads but CPU use was close to nothing the whole time, even with priority bumped up to above normal.

    It wound up consuming about 10GB of storage by the time it was done, for a library of 2.6TB. My library is mostly 1080p stuff, a mix of h.264 and x265.

  • Release 10.9.4 · jellyfin/jellyfin
  • Mine's been running for about 5-6 days now, also not a huge library. I'm running Jellyfin in an LXC container on a host with 16 CPU cores. Started with 4 cores, but have bumped it up to 8. I have noticed that when it is generating the Trickplay images for h.264 content it only uses about 8% of the available CPU resources. When generating images for x265 it uses about 60-70%.It doesn't seem to matter what the priority for the trickplay job is set to.

  • Jellyfin Android TV client v0.16.11 released
  • My library isn't huge (in my opinion anyway, a few hundred episodes of TV and maybe 100 movies). My Trickplay job is about 16% complete after 3 days, lol. My AMD iGPU doesn't appear to be supported for the MJPEG stuff so I don't get GPU acceleration, but I have Jellyfin set to allow 4 threads for generating Trickplay images, and am running on a 4-core VM that sits on physical hardware that isn't slow at all. Looks like even though it is using 4 threads it is still only using one of the cores, as CPU utilization for the ffmpeg process doing it is always at about 25%.

    is there a jellyfin api which I could query to get the state if someone is actively watching or not?
  • I use one of those tiny mini PCs, with an AMD mobile CPU in it. It sips power but has enough oomph for transcoding when necessary. I'm sure the NAS that my library actually sits on uses way more power with its mechanical HDDs.

    Onyx Boox firmware 3.5.1 released

    System/Apps:

    1. Support for importing system fonts
    2. Support for customizing the navigation bar
    3. Fixed input method covering input boxes in some apps
    4. Support for using email or phone number to unbind other Onyx accounts

    Library/Neoreader:

    1. Fixed the issue of being unable to long-press to select words
    2. Support for sharing directly after opening a document

    Intel WiFi 6E

    Hi, I'm running Linux Mint 21.3 with kernel 6.5.0-21 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 gen 2 with an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, and most relevant to my question, an Intel AX210 WiFi controller.

    It connects just fine to 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, but about 90% of the time it cannot see my 6GHz network, which is operating on a separate SSID. Sometimes it apparently randomly will see the 6GHz network, and it will connect and work fine until the next time the computer goes to sleep, after which it will only see 2.4/5GHz networks again.

    I've been messing around trying to troubleshoot it, which led me to installing wavemon, and I discovered that if I run wavemon with elevated permissions and make it scan for networks it will see the 6GHz network, and when that happens it immediately becomes available to choose through Cinnamon's GUI, and it will work fine again until the next time the computer sleeps. If I run wavemon again after waking from sleep and make it scan for networks, 6GHz functionality will work again.

    Anyone know what's going on here? I should add that I am in the US where the 6GHz band is legal and should be enabled in the Intel iwlwifi driver. It's almost like something needs to happen to trigger the 6GHz radio into waking up or something.

    homelab @lemmy.ml st3ph3n @midwest.social
    Recommend me a mini PC for a Proxmox homelab

    Some background: I have a Synology NAS already with plenty of space on it. It runs my Jellyfin server in a docker container. I also have a Raspberry Pi 3b running Pihole.

    I would like to get a mini PC to run Proxmox on, and migrate those workloads over to it, as well as use it to host any other fun projects that can be virtualized that catch my eye. It'll also be a useful learning experience as I would like to learn Proxmox to potentially broaden my skills at work, where we are an entirely VMware house, but the shit Broadcom has been pulling since taking over has put a shadow over all of that.

    Anyway, I'm thinking I would like something along these lines:

    • A relatively recent CPU with decent performance and low power consumption. I prefer AMD these days.
    • Capacity for at least 32GB of RAM, but it doesn't have to have that much from the get-go.
    • NVMe storage, 512GB or so.
    • Two ethernet ports. 1Gb is acceptable, 2.5Gb would be nice, though.
    • Low-ish costs. I don't need this thing to be able to play games or anything, just run my VMs at a decent clip without burning too much power.

    Transcoding performance isn't a huge deal either as the Jellyfin server isn't shared with anyone outside the house, and my playback devices so far have been able to play pretty much anything I've thrown at them natively.

    I think that I would plan to have the actual VMs stored on a share on the NAS rather than having them live directly on the PC.

    What would you recommend?

    It’s spring in the Midwest. The only problem? It’s midwinter

    Winter has gone missing across the Midwest and Great Lakes, and time is running out to find it. Dozens of cities are on track for one of the warmest winters on record, making snow and ice rare commodities.

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/11868967 Definitely feeling it here. It was warm enough to comfortably go ride my motorcycle on Friday.

    Boox Page

    So, I've got a 9th generation Kindle Oasis and its battery is really starting to show its age. This is also one of the models where it is damn near impossible to replace the battery. Any attempts that I have read about online resulted in broken screens and sadness.

    I'm not too wedded to the Amazon ecosystem, but I do like being able to borrow library books, which my local library allows in the form of sending them to your amazon account. I have a few books from the kindle store, but not a ton.

    I've been looking around online for a replacement e-ink reading device, and the Boox Page has caught my eye. I'm curious how those have been performing for anyone who's got one here, since they've been out for a while now. I like the idea of it not being tied to any particular vendor's store, and the fact that I could install the Kindle and Libby apps on it, along with, apparently, pretty much anything else available in the Play store.

    Important things for me are battery life and having physical page turn buttons, as well as a built in light so that I can read in bed without bothering my wife with a table lamp or something.

    I would love to see some feedback from people who own these devices.

    Also, does anyone know how often the Boox store restocks them? It's been showing as unavailable every time I check over the past few days.
