"Warning: Changing CPU turbo is not supported. Skipping"
  • Looking at Intel specs for that model of CPU has 'Intel Turbo Boost Technology' as 'No' so it may not be possible to get rid of the warning but fine to ignore. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/122590/intel-core-i3-7020u-processor-3m-cache-2-30-ghz.html#tab-blade-1-0-7

    Here's a similar issue on their github, https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq/issues/446 Sounds like it should still be able to slow down the CPU but it won't be able to change turbo boost due to processor not supporting that feature.

  • [Closed] Help/Advices about debugging zfs pool issues
  • USB disconnect is most likely what's causing problems as when it happens there is no way for any I/O to happen to that device. If there are multiple USB drives try to figure out which one(s) are disconnected/ing. Then test out different cables and/or ports. If still failing then USB controller may be crap or it could be the drive(s).

    Issues like this are why a lot of people steer others away from using USB storage to begin with, too many potential places for things to go wrong and not much info available as to why when it does happen. Sorry if no other connectivity options are available.

  • Linux Distro for Jellyfin Client HTPC
  • I'd recommend using distro you know best and/or most prefer to work with. I use the flatpak install of Jellyfin Media Player but there are also deb files available.

    I'm currently using minipc with Intel n5105 (or something similar) for 1080p HTPC. Debian 12 OS with auto-login & Jellyfin Media Player starting at login. I control it with pepper jobs RF remote but also have a logitech wireless keyboard+touchpad for it. Keyboard+touchpad come in handy when browsing media sites on firefox but some might restrict quality. Some of the newer minipc's I tried required adding backports repo to install newer kernel for wifi to work. I had been playing with Debian a lot when I set up first one & been using clonezilla to image them so it's stuck.

    Ordered a gmtek n97 minipc to play with and should have it in about a week. Going to test it out with 4k but it's not a deal breaker for me if it cannot handle that well enough.

  • Steam features never fail to amaze me
  • I think it's because Steam compresses the data before sending it and limits CPU usage. I still use local file transfer between desktop and Steam Deck because rarely in much of a rush.

  • Looking for MiTV box replacement
  • Yep, asking for something I'm sure a lot of us would love to have, a ready to go TV remote control style usage, but rather than having discussions about why those options aren't viable just downvoting.

  • Any way to update the software in Raspian without updating the OS?
  • Create a backup image from the working SD card. Write that backup image to a spare SD card and verify it works. Then try to do 'apt update' and see if anything breaks. If it breaks you got a spare SD card ready to go :)

  • unable to open the database file (SQLITE_CANTOPEN)
  • To find the numerical user ID (uid) and group ID (gid) of an account or group you can use the 'id' command such as: id root

    As for which one to use on ownership and docker, that will vary widely and would require knowing more about how things are setup. I'd try to use the same one that is running the docker commands.

  • Local DNS-01 wildcard certificate not renewed?
  • I had issues with DNS checks and traced it to my pihole. I changed that container's resolv.conf to use cloudflare DNS and it has been working fine since. It was with Caddy so needed to change over to use IPs.

  • Bad 4K Performance on Jellyfin
  • Another thing to remember is the client needs to support decoding the video in hardware or have enough CPU to handle it in software. I have intel i7 (3rd gen) with no hardware HEVC/x265 support but it has enough CPU to power through.

  • Roku version 2.0.0 Released
  • Plex still wins on client compatibility, ease of server & client setup, and at least has the 3 commonly used oidc login providers available.

    Jellyfin you may need to point external clients to your server manually as well as setup everything so they can actually connect. There are so many ways to do this that it can be paralyzing to actually decide which to try as a beginner. Local clients can usually use discovery if the firewall and container are setup correctly for the jellyfin server. Accounts have to be created manually unless you use something like jfa-go. For oidc, there's only 3rd party plugin in alpha state and looks like people use it so guess it works well enough.

    As others have said, you can have both running on the same system pointed at the same content. If you're following the plex naming scheme should match pretty well in jellyfin, nfo files work really well for jellyfin metadata too. Lets you get an idea of it and whether it could meet your needs.

    I mostly switched to Jellyfin over 3 years ago, shutdown my plex server 2 years ago after many tiny annoyances over the years. I had tried to get my family switched over but it is too much hassle for them and myself still. Been working on setting up some cheap htpc's for that purpose but it's not a priority for me.

  • Laptop with long runtime
  • I've had good luck with refurbished Dell laptops. My primary laptop is a refurbished Dell Latitude 11" 3120. Bought it for ~$250 at beginning of this year and currently have Fedora on it. It's not very powerful. I use it primarily to browse the web, watch movies/tv, and vnc/ssh to my other systems. Can last about 5-6 hours streaming video from jellyfin at 50% brightness, other stuff barely uses any power and can stretch out to 9-10 hours if I set display brightness even lower.

    I've always bought Windows laptops then put linux on them so I'm used to verifying that tools such as TLP are installed, configured, enabled, and working. There is too much variety with laptops for all of them to be handled automatically unfortunately so I always verify it. If a laptop came with Linux pre-installed then it might be good to go ootb but I'd still verify.

  • Hardware video acceleration
  • Quick way to check if a program is using hardware video acceleration is with a gpu top utility.

    Intel - intel_gpu_top

    Nvidia - nvidia-smi / nvtop

    AMD - radeontop / nvtop / amdgpu_top (just did quick search, don't have any AMD powered on to verify)

  • This XDA Reporter replaced their monitors with XREAL smart glasses for a full week
  • For steamdeck on the couch something like the xreal or rokid would be better. Some people have been able to make VR work with steamdeck with bad performance but they only tried VR games so don't know how it would be with regular games.

    I bought a pair when they were still going by NReal name and they worked well with steam deck and my laptop. Battery life would last longer with only the glasses on. I didn't like always having to wear contacts so picked up a pair of Rokid's glasses too. Those have built in diopters and have been working well.

  • Disclosure of sensitive credentials and configuration in containerized deployments - ownCloud
  • Is MariaDB on spinning disk or ssd?

    I initially set up Nextcloud with MariaDB on spinning disk but it was slow even completely empty. I moved that container to ssd & performance was a lot better. The web UI may still have some slow loading parts but I can't say for sure since rarely use it. Caldav+carddav+Nextcloud client are how I usually interact with it.

  • YouTube just made it harder to avoid ads with a tiny skip button
  • They still build recommendations even if you're not logged in, you can see them in the sidebar after you load a video. Imo they only removed them from the homepage to try convincing people to log in or create account, it's all about increasing user numbers, ad engagement, and data collection these days.
