I am sorry, but that notebook is way too modern for a proper Gentoo user. Anything above 500MHz is wasted energy with useless kernel flags

I just checked the code and unfortunately, they do not support loading the SQLite file into memory yet. Even worse, the change would be substantially. It appears they currently abuse the database connection a bit. They basically create a new connection for each operation. This does not matter if you can read/write in parallel, but that’s only the case with NVMe and certain drivers. So all SATA (SSD and HDD) suffer from the current mechanic. So just loading it into memory is not going to solve the issue. Jellyfin needs to change architecturally, so that a database connection is reused. I don’t know why or who implemented the current logic, but it is clearly done by someone not understanding how databases work.

Depending on the mood and time, I will come up with a solution that is solid. For now, you are stuck with the current logic.

How large is the database? Because there is a way to fully load SQLite into memory, which would speed everything up drastically for a scan. At the end of the scan, you could just write back everything to the disk, then it is just one blob of sequential write, which is fast enough on spinning rust.

It is a discussion about the UNIX philosophy and architecture and it is not about functionality. That’s why it seems to be a bit short-sighted. However, I do understand both sides, but I would never go this far and create a website to promote my views and opinions. It is as if you had a discussion between team emacs and team vim.

Even though that the reliability of OpenRC is 0.00000001% higher, they keep forgetting about operational costs. And since my day only has 24h, I’d rather be able to copy&paste an installation script from the Docker website (which includes systemd commands), instead of manually writing it and losing 30min of that day.

But you know, to each their own. I love OpenRC, I love systemd.

I was genuinely looking for alternatives to systemd, just because I was curious.

I stumbled upon: https://nosystemd.org/

The anger sits deep. What a beautiful sight.

FYI: they use Claude Code.

Just in case anyone has an issue with that.

What if I can’t read? What if I can only read braille? There need to be more labels. I am talking about Golden Record level of making sure that it is understood.

Yeah VALVe seems not to like Switzerland, as no hardware has ever been released here. Additionally, they do not allow resellers, so you literally cannot buy it with proper warranty.

What I did with the Index was ask a friend in Germany to order and ship it to me. This time, I will use my legal entity in Estonia. Costs a bit of extra shipping and taxes, but there is no other option.

Jellyfin people who constantly ask “have you tried Jellyfin?” have never used Plex and don’t know what they are missing out on.

I have Emby lifetime. I have Plex lifetime. I try Jellyfin every year.

Plex wins always. Emby is second. Would not recommend Jellyfin.

Omg you are a saint. I was missing a tool like this. Will check it out ASAP.

Could be worse, seriously. Safari is not a bad browser and WebKit is the only engine since years that can keep up with chromium. I get that it is annoying to have leas freedom on iOS, but I also appreciate the increased security[1] and quality of life that comes with it.

[1] yes, I am aware that open source software tends to be more secure, as it can be reviewed by all. However, Android by default is way less secure than iOS, unless you use GraphiteOS or similar.

I still miss IPv5
