Wow it works, this is awesome! Thanks!

Flashlight for now, but I really want it to bring up the Apple TV remote. Maybe someday

Technically multiplication is just division by the inverse so math has that case covered too

You can also lick off the bitter coating if you’re into that kind of thing

Tenerife, the pic doesn’t do it justice but it was just the greenest, most quintessential “island life” type place. And they had the best octopus I’ve ever had. Definitely going to revisit it at some point.

I read once that if you’re trying to get some creativity juices flowing, removing unnecessary details will allow for more abstract thought. Like “write a story about an ogre” would lead to very different stories than “write a story about an ogre doing pushups”, even if the latter is probably arguably more funny.

So that was my thinking here about being a bit vague, I was specifically talking about tankless water heaters which got us on the subject though.

Thank you, I love the internet. Was discussing this with my roommate and didn’t know where else to ask!

Yeah it is ersatztv, you basically need a gpu for the ffmpeg encodings though. It’s fun if you get it to work, I have my face appear every hour at the bottom of the screen like a network logo.

I host my own iptv service to mimic a real channel but with my content. It’s amazing and we all love it.

It’s usenet, everything is zipped into hundreds of RAR files

I am, this is cool, thank you!

It's hard to say since it's all RAIDed out but they're not SSD's, I just didn't have the space on the drive. But looks like I'm in the market for a new cpu, motherboard and NVMe drive now. Thanks for your input!

 

Is there a way to speed up extraction of 40+gb 4k videos? This is by far the most time consuming part of the process and I was wondering if there was any hardware acceleration or even multi cpu way of speeding this up.

My cpu isn’t the newest, it’s an i7 5820k, overclocked just a bit, but I have a hard time believing that a newer cpu on its own will have more than marginal gains on this front, but I could be way off here.

edit: I just realized my processor came out in 2014. So I'm sure in 10 years we've made some inroads, I thought I bought this guy in 2018.
