  • Kodi on my 2015 Nvidia Shield doesn’t stutter for me playing back 30GB+ 4k files on a 1Gb network from an ancient (2012) AMD Athlon TrueNAS box. It could be network related, but you can test this from another machine (laptop, desktop, etc) or by using local playback on the pi. I have cheap network hardware, and have never needed better. All this is to say Kodi mounting NFS shouldn’t need much bandwidth or high end gear. Perhaps the issue is on the playback side. Good luck!

    Edit: and an


  • Thx. I’m dabbling rn with a 2015 Intel i5 SFF and a low profile 6400 GPU, but it looks like I’ll be getting back to all my gear soon, and was curious to see what others are having success running with.

    I think I’m looking at upgrading to a 7600 or greater GPU in a ryzen 7, but still on the sidelines watching the ryzen 9k rollout.

    I still haven’t tried any image generation, have only used llamafile and LM studio, but would like to did a little deeper, while accounting for my dreaded ADHD that makes it miserable to learn new skills…





  • They also don’t always keep the metadata in the same archive (zip or tar) with the pictures they belong with, and that can throw off imports with tools that process Google Takeout archives directly. Its a pretty nasty solution, for real.

    I moved about 140GB to ente.io before they had their newer takeout process, but some destinations can enable third party apps (like rclone) to do cloud to cloud. Nor sure which work best, since I couldn’t go that route myself.

    You’ve got me thinking about it, but I still just come back to, “this doesn’t affect me.” But it would affect me if LW was to defederate, which has already been discussed dozens of times in the past. If I look at the ML modlog, I just don’t see evidence of what is being claimed beyond this incident. Rule 1 is being misused and a mod or mod team are being assholes. That sucks. I don’t think it means that the posts and/or visibility of content of thousands are at risk in the way being presented.

    currently 1,019 upvotes vs. 92 downvotes […] suggests that most lemmy.world users who are aware of the issue do care.

    I equate that more to the crowd yelling, “yeah!” more so than carefully considered agreement.

    Thank you for having this discussion. I’ll continue to ruminate on it. If it means anything, when I read the OP by SpaceCadet, I subbed to LW or other large-ish communities for the ones I follow at ML in hopes that they grow.

    I appreciate your reply. I agree with the principals and ideals, but I just don’t get worked up over every bit of outrage out there. I used to be a real worked up individual, willing to throw everything I’ve got at anything that didn’t fit with my ideals, but I’m older now, and sometimes I want places where I don’t have to fight for every inch of ground.

    I don’t disagree that the mod actions are worth highlighting. I disagree that defederation is the first and only solution. It reads to me like some users argued with mods about topics known to be hot-button over there, on a post guaranteed to be controversial, and a temporary ban occurred. That action and its reach is worth discussion.

    I don’t agree that the users should go to the biggest lemmy instance and try to soap box their POV in order to trigger user outrage in hopes that they pressure the admins to enact some vengeance on an entire instance in the form of defederation. I disagree even more since the source of the outrage is not a user at LW, and wouldn’t be affected in any way by the proposed defederation. What they really want is for their subbed communities to move away from ML.

    SpaceCadet coming here suing for defederation is barely different to me than the mod that banned them from unrelated communities. “Someone I disagree with did a thing I don’t like and I want to flex on them,” is what I see from my POV. I don’t care they got banned. It seems like a foregone conclusion that would happen there, and I’ve known that since the first fifty posts about how Dessalines and Nutomic behave (on social media and on github) were posted.

    If I follow their weird rules, I won’t get banned. The implicit rules include not talking shit about topics cleansed by glorious fascist leaders? OK. I don’t care. I have no interest in changing the hearts and minds behind the eyeballs on ML. I’m not on a crusade to fix the world one post at a time. I’m browsing while my game loads, or the water boils, or on the bus.

    What I care about is a few idealistic users posting picture evidence of a clear power-trip ban and expecting admins to defederate. That’s the corruption of the marketplace of ideas. Silencing the entire instance for thousands. For all we know, half the users on LW would like to learn more about their point of view, if only to dismiss it as wacky and untenable, but not only do they lose that opportunity, they lose the opportunity to engage with unrelated communities, of which there are several that are more active than anywhere else.

    At the end of the day, its a lot easier for anyone up in arms about this to block and move on than the workarounds required for the majority who don’t care and want to stay engaged in the communities they are subbed to. They’d have to make accounts elsewhere, or even at ML.

    Call me apathetic, but I just don’t care about this fight.

    As a user subbed to multiple communities there, I never see this stuff. Ever. I stay far, far away from news and current events though. I actively seek news from sources, not aggregation platforms.

    I would prefer to have the option to interact with those communities rather than have a few users brigade the admins into defederating. There’s a reason one of the SCOTUS cases that is cited as binding precedent in freedom of speech cases relates to the distribution of Communist propaganda. The marketplace of ideas is meant to be freely available to all, not curated by the most opinionated or noisy.



  • I’d use the find command piped to mv and play with some empty test folders first. I’m not familiar with Nemo, though I’ve used it for a short while. I’ve never tried the bulk renaming features if they exist.

    Depending in how much variation you have in the preceding underscores, REGEX may be useful, but if its just a lot of single underscores you can easily trim them with a single version of the script.

    Edit: corrected second command typo. I think there’s a rename command I haven’t used in ages that may have args to help here too, but I’m away from the PC
