That’s really moving, OP. I’ve had similar feelings before, discovering (or merely even noticing) the finished result of someone’s labor of love - someone who was no longer in the world.

My grandfather’s homelab and media setup was, and timelessly now is (since I backed up disk images of some of his computers) like this to me. Despite my years of my own joyous tinkering, in many ways his setup still eclipses mine. “Self hosting” wasn’t really a thing yet when he was doing all this, since we hadn’t yet moved to a highly web-centric, SAAS-dominated world, but he’d have been super into it. What’s left of his computers are now quietly falling into disrepair. But at least I have some of the data. He’s been gone over a decade, still miss him.

Nah it’s “hehe his handle sounds like bussy”

The real “hate” here is anti-GNOME developer hate lol

And my axe!

I use it on both my iPhone and my GrapheneOS phone. Great on both.

Yea, this was a common occurrence when I used to rely on PayPal bank transfer. Apparently individual merchants can decide whether to accept it or not.

He needs a little hard hat

It does seem unlikely that, regardless of interest in playing the instrument, sales would’ve done anything but slumped in recent decades. Can’t really envision buying brand new guitars being a high priority for young people who are seemingly worse and worse off over time

Praise the sunaurus!

Ah, other commenters beat me to saying what I was going to say regarding the semantics.

But also, it’s a unique artificially created word. Nobody is going to confuse it for anything else (granted, that might get murky with pharmaceuticals). It’s searchable with any piece of software that does simple string matching. Also, it isn’t itself a constituent of some other longer word, which helps with that kind of thing too.

The spelling of the word is also phonetically logical. Being a new artificially created word, they could’ve spelled it however they wanted, but they chose the spelling that reads how it sounds. Very few people are going to hear it spoken and misspell it if they’re typing it into some device.

Yeah… that sums it up

“Progynova”… that’s a really great name. Naming things is hard so I always appreciate a good name when I see one

I do, but that’s mostly because an old boss of mine did it, thought it was hilarious, and now I do too, because of the in joke

Chown, rhymes with bone.

Ah yes I also call it “Sahtah”. Australian

That’s an interesting idea… can you explain more?

I choose to interpret that as a self deprecating joke

Yeah, every time a new timesaving invention becomes mainstream the “meta” of society adjusts and everything gets faster. And more chaotic and insane and crazy. Modern life is weird

I think that counts as a kind of societal expectation adjustment

Makes me a bit glum to think about how this concept applies to other areas

Hardware encoding is really great to have on a server. A lot of the time you wouldn’t even think about its existence in a desktop use case but if you monitor resource metrics on a server you can see how huge of a help it is.

I use an old 7700k for my media server. Took a little stint of configuration to pass the integrated graphics device from the Proxmox hypervisor, into the k8s worker node VM, and then into the Jellyfin pod, but very much worth it. Jellyfin x264 1080p transcoding now takes roughly a third of the CPU resources compared to doing it all in software.

what is subtitle burn-in?

I don’t own one. Don’t recall ever seeing them for sale. In any case, it’s probably too hot to wear them here.
