Hey everyone, I'm building a new server to run Jellyfin (with a few other services like Pi-hole) and I'm stuck on GPU or CPU transcoding. My main concern is smooth 4K HDR transcoding for 1 stream. I've been reading mixed advice online – some people say a strong CPU with good single-core performance can handle it, while others recommend a dedicated GPU. Should I focus my budget (~$1000AUD/$658USD) on a good CPU, or spend some of it on a dedicated GPU?

    Thanks for the suggestion! FitoTrack looks great, but I don't really do outdoor activities. I mostly do weight training so I'm looking for something that tracks reps/weight etc.

  • So, I've been using [FitNotes ](https://www.fitnotesapp.com/) for a while as it's the only app that I found that doesn't have a nightmare privacy policy. However, the app is rarely updated and there are things I wish it had that I would love to add if it was FOSS. Wondering if there is anything foss alternatives?

    Embracer Group were expecting a massive investment to fund all their recent aquisitions (2 billions I think?) that fell through. So they have been cutting and closing studios ever since.

    Hi everyone, I've been in communication with GitHub's support team for several weeks, but unfortunately, they haven't been able to resolve this problem. Therefore, I'm hoping someone here has a solution. I'm currently facing an issue where I can't push LFS (Large File Storage) objects to any of my repositories. Once I add an LFS object, I lose the ability to push. Here's the error message I receive when attempting to push my code to an empty repository: [Link to Error on Pastebin](https://pastebin.com/WGWQpS3M). It just infinitely asks for password and fails every time.

    and got:

    Could this mean it is a driver issue?

    There is 1 plugin that seems to support H.264, the rest are H.265. I tried the following plugins:

    • "Transcode Video Files" with the following options selected
      • Video Code = H264
      • Video Encoder = hvec_qvc
    • "Video Encoder H265/HEVC - hevc_vaapi (INTEL/AMD)"
    • "Video Encoder H265/HEVC - hevc_qsv (Intel)"

    None of them worked.

  • Hello everyone, I've been working on setting up a torrent/media server on an old PC. Everything works near perfectly. However, I'm encountering an issue where qBittorrent gets stuck at 0% progress and just says 'Downloading Metadata'. I've tried various solutions, including disabling the VPN, and even attempting to download it on my Windows 11 PC (both with and without a VPN). I've tried disabling my Windows 11 firewall and even tried Deluge. Unfortunately, none of these solutions have resolved the problem. I'm struggling to pinpoint the root cause. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've tried a few different torrents that Prowlarr has fetched, but the one I've been trying without a VPN is the one from [ipleak.net](https://ipleak.net/). EDIT: Was able to figure out a solution. Not sure why but switching from Wireguard to OpenVPN seems to have fixed the issue..

    Fans expectations for games are already insanely high. Baldur's Gate 3 isn't going to change much.

    Also the video implies that this complaint is industry wide but only has 3 tweets (or X's?).

    Up initially blocked my payment, but after reaching out to them, I encountered no problems with crypto exchanges. Is it possible that they only restrict new accounts?

    It has been about 6 months since I've used crypto so it could also be a new rule.

    Hey everyone, I recently learned about Aurora Store, a platform that allows you download Play Store apps even if you don't have Google services, like on Graphene OS. I'm curious if there's any benefit to using it on my non-rooted device. Any thoughts?

    I tried to make a post on !buildapc@lemmy.world. It seemed to be successful initially, but upon checking, I couldn't find it. I made another attempt to post, encountering the same problem, with no error message provided. However, commenting functions properly. Does it need to be approved by the mods? New to Lemmy so still getting used to everything.
