They are already tagged as explicit/clean in the metadata as well as separated by folder with an [E] tag if explicit. I could manually rematch them but my library is large so I’d really rather not

I like Plexamp but there’s a couple of things to be aware of depending on your music library that took me a while to figure out:

• They downsample anything above 48kHz which isn’t a big deal but sucks if you have hi-res music. It won’t even tell you it’s transcoding if you check the dashboard and Plexamp will show it as playing at the actual sample rate which is misleading when trying to debug.
• It doesn’t distinguish between explicit and clean versions so if you have both then it will just look like duplicates. You also can’t favorite just the clean or explicit version as favoriting one will do the same for both versions.
• They don’t support Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos(E-AC-3) music. Doesn’t matter if they are m4a or flac. Again, nothing about transcoding in the dashboard but the sound will be horrible. It does at least show in Plexamp that the song is playing as Opus. I know everyone says multichannel music isn’t worth it, but I wanted to try it out and was very disappointed when Plexamp wouldn’t play them.

These probably aren’t issues to the majority of users with just their favorite songs in mp3 or flac 16-44, but it’s something for people with larger hi-res/multichannel libraries to be aware of that I recently learned.

I just bought a few refurbished 12TB WD Ultrastars off Amazon and it actually says it’s sold by ServerPartDeals. Not sure if it’s the same people but interesting if they are

What did you end up using?

No? I have an iPhone because Apple is definitely more trustworthy with my data than Google. The only other Apple product I have is an Apple Watch because I like the integration. Other than that every computer I have runs Linux.

You Google simps need to grow up and stop acting like Tesla fanboys lol

I actually didn’t know that about addressing before your comment and so I found it very interesting, thanks

The article says that’s what the government is telling employees since there were several critical vulnerabilities found in chrome. It is very convenient that these vulnerabilities were patched in the same update that manifest v2 is removed though

Ubuntu was my first Linux desktop distro and I’ve been using it for 4ish years. I really liked it but I no longer feel like I can trust canonical after the whole ‘secretly install Firefox snap when installed with apt cli’ thing. It wouldn’t have even been a big deal if they just said it was only available as a snap but the execution pissed me off to the point of switching

Yes it looks like it is included in the official docker image

It looks like it should be possible as both your cpu and motherboard support Intel VT-d

PCIe pass through isn’t enabled by default in Proxmox and requires some manual changes to the bootloader (grub or systemd-boot) as well as loading some kernel modules. You may also need to enable VT-d in your BIOS. You can read proxmox’ guide for enabling PCIe pass through here:

Thanks for the info! Looks pretty cool I’ll have to check it out

This is the first time I’ve heard of Victoria Metrics. It looks like it has a similar use case as Prometheus, is that correct? If so, what made you or your team choose one over the other?

You can always do both and expose some services outside your network and keep the others local only while still being able to access them yourself with a vpn.

From what I read disk wear out on consumer drives is a concern when using ZFS for boot drives with proxmox. I don’t know if the issues are exaggerated, but to be safe I ended up picking up some used enterprise SSDs off eBay for that reason.

I haven’t tried any of them but I did just listen to a podcast the other week where they talk about LlamaGPT vs Ollama and other related tools. If you’re interested it’s episode 540: Uncensored AI on Linux by Linux Unplugged

That seems to only be for the Java code

How fast though is Java versus other languages? A show and tell page has submissions in Rust, C#, Go, Python, PostgreSQL, Python, C, C++, and more. These are hard to compare with one another since they have been run on different hardware, but there are some impressive results, including one under 5 seconds done with C on an AMD laptop, and a C# solution that runs in 5.3 seconds on a Core i5-12500 with 6 cores.

I’ve been lied to

8th gen is when support was added for HEVC I’m pretty sure

I thought it was great in terms of listing examples for common use cases and I appreciated that the commands could be altered and ran interactively.
