for reasons I don’t completely understand, Resilio Sync connections seem to be quicker and more reliable

Resilio runs a “relay” server to facilitate connections where neither peer has properly set up port forwarding. Only downside of Resilio is its not open source, so you just kinda have to take their privacy policy at face value. As long as op isn’t sending something super sensitive though, it probably is no big deal.

Stock prices to drop sufficiently.

They’ll just start selling their planes at a discount to win back buyers, then cut more corners to make a profit at the discounted rate.

Because he paid $10k for a booth to talk about bird safe window tinting, and can actually answer questions about bird safe window tinting. Dude wants to go through all that work into maybe fooling me into giving up my work login credentials, more power to him.

Lentils, rice, and beans together can form a very inexpensive but nutrient rich base for a lot of meals.

Definitely no, viruses need 48-72 hours of incubation before the .mkv host becomes contagious. If the file is <24 hours old, I’d look for another source.

If you’re worried your computer might be infected, you should consider swapping your case LEDs with UV lights to purify your system.

No Jira ticket, no fixy.

That’s kinda my point. Mastectomies would bring the average down but more women brings it back up. Too lazy to Google but is global # of women who have had mastectomies more or fewer than # of “excess” women (over men)

IDK, there’s slightly more women than men, it may skew the results

Kale, IMO, has to be cooked. I love a good roasted/destemmed kale tossed onto just about anything, but raw kale can fuck right off.

TBH chicken often tastes gross to me (grew up with a parent that thought ‘boil it in maybe-salted water’ was the way to go).

Funny, this is why most people hate veggies

IDK, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Best to eat more veggies now, and maybe one day everyone can go back to salmon once it’s sustainable.

Look, I definitely get it, but just a note, encoding 100+ 4k HEVC movies is going to take months of time at full PC loads. It’s a subtle cost, but depending on your electricity rate, running a 200W PC 24/7 for 3 months straight may hurt your bottom line more than it helps.

If you already have the storage, the cheapest option may be just to keep it. If you’re looking to increase the size of your collection it may be about even to save 6 TB via encode and to buy an extra 6TB disc, depending on your setup

You’re about to embark on a massive journey and I wish you the best of luck :D

Compressing 110 4K movies is going to be a long encode time, but it will be so nice to digitize that collection.

First question: if you already have them ripped and stored, do you even need to re-encode them? If you have a powerful enough Jellyfin server for transcoding, that may be enough.

That said, if you’re looking to optimize for space and quality, there’s some questions to ask:

• proprietary (but ubiquitous) HEVC or the emerging open standard AV1? It’s going to be a lot easier finding tips/guides for HEVC.

• Constant Rate Factor (CRF), or Average Bit Rate (ABR). CRF tends to be more straightforward if you have a varied collection of content because it let’s the encoder choose settings to deliver consistent quality. 2-pass average bit rate is good if you have a target size or compatibility in mind - great for squeezing out the absolute optimal quality if you’re trying to fit on a Blu-Ray disc or meet certain streaming criteria, but 2x the encode time (hence “2-pass”) can be a tough sell.

Stick with software encoding, steer clear of hardware solutions like NVENC. They’re crazy fast, but inconsistent quality.

There’s some guides out there on converting DV to HDR 10+ etc, but I don’t have a lot of experience with that process.

Which is accomplished by doing the described steps

Because without it there would be no UN, and as useless as you think the current UN is, I promise you no UN is even more useless.

It’s bleak but the fact that we can even get everybody in the same room is remarkable. Like it or not, a UN where Monaco and the US (or, Russia, China, etc) have the same power at the table is a UN where the big players reject its authority and form their own clubs.

I mean, it’s frozen, so the best before date is pretty loose at best anyways

This may be my unicorn, going to test out some time in the coming weeks! Thanks for the suggestion, stranger!

Google Keep

My wife and I use it all the time for things like grocery lists, packing lists, etc. It’s nice to be an able to collaborate in real time on a checklist, and I haven’t found an app that can replicate that convenience.

At least an American football field is a standard fucking size.

The two goal lines are between 50 and 100 yards (46 and 91 metres) wide and have to be of the same length.[4] The two touchlines are between 100 and 130 yards (91 and 119 metres) long and have to be of the same length.[4]

You’ve got like a 50% margin of error there.
