The future is av1. Is it worth it to compress everything asap? No. Not all devices can play av1. You will still shoot pictures and videos in 264 or 265. Can you already edit av1? Do you do that? Check that everything you own and do can work with av1. You should prefer 265 over 264 nowadays.

Is it worth it for your own videos? It depends. If you have a lot, like terrabytes lot, of your own videos. Then yes, you could save storage. But, the time it'll take to reencode and the power consumption it needs isn't worth it. Just use av1 from nowon whereever possible if you export videos instead of 265 if all your devices and clients and friends who you're sending them to can play it. I converted all old media to 265 two years ago (or so) to have everything compatible. I do not plan on converting to av1 just for storage reasons. Storage is cheap compared to the time I invest in caring about it. Converting for compatibility yes, storage no. I switched to immich and I have no files on my phone or laptop anymore.

Torrents? No it's definetly not worth it to reencode. The guys who release the files are aware of av1 and they will switch as soon as almost all devices support av1 and people scream for it. It is not worth it to reencode imo. Just redownload once it's available. You can push av1 adoption by releasing videos in av1 yourself. Ask for it. Talk about it. Spread the word.

Sad not to see file.pizza

The more people, the more donations, the more devs, the more user bug reports, the bigger communities, more communities, more brains, more software support, more game support, more likelihood of using linux at work, less microsoft and apple bullshit, ...

And I thought it's popos which is German and stands for asses

Speed of a package manager should never be a major concern nowadays. It's not like you have to build packages from source slow. You install packages once, even if it takes minutes, just do something else. Updates happen in the background.

Same for huge updates. For one, are you sure it downloads the whole image? Downloading an update of fedora atomic is very fast on my device. Even then, games are huge, 4k movies are huge. An OS updates is small. I don't care about that size. That is nothing of importance.

The real question is: image vs snapshot. What do you think about that question?

My original post was rubbish which is why i deleted it. In hindsight this reads as if I was calling out the upper level comment. I'm sorry.

if you use docker, docker ignores ufw rules

Choose whatever sounds good and test it

Thx. 130€? That's surprisingly cheap.

Go to the official website, download DaVinci Resolve for Linux and extract the archive. Then simply run the DaVinci_Resolve_XX.X.X_Linux.run

Lol

DE is more important than distro in regards to RAM. Ubuntu runs on a pi, it should be good on any computer

Where is how?

I haven't seen one project that foesn't use c++ 😥

Thank you! That would be my go to for my own projects as well. As far as I know they don't want company sponsorship. I am unsure about sustainability

Same holds for avif and jxl. They are very storage efficient but jpg is still the best choice for compatibility reasons. You can use jxl to annoy chrome users because they can't view it and probably apple users as well but apart from that fun there's no reason to convert your whole library to it. Your devices, clients and editors have to support it. And we are still not there yet. Best is to spread the word that it'll be the future but the future is not yet today. Best for their adoption is to stay away from vendors who try to push their own standard like apple.

Export in avif/jxl if you know you can play it everywhere but don't convert a whole library to it unless you know you want have problems with it in the future. Jpg with 70% quality isn't that bad.

I didn't realize there's also a link

No idea what it is but this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't open source. Cool!

That the project will be developed in a year or two

That is really cool. I wish I'd read more of such posts on "how do we get there, how did we get here".

Most important answer:

After deciding to support Ubuntu and X11 and Wayland

I hope it'll work in distrobox such that you can run it on every platform

Linux is not only about privacy. It's primarily about freedom.

On linux?

Nope. Hosting in the cloud isn't possible due to legal reasons.

I don't think that downtimes area serious issue for us.

The difficulty with arch is not get it up and running. It's about keeping it up to date. Do you have selinux enabled? I like selinux and among other things that's what fedora bundles for me. I could do everything myself but not only do I have to know the state of the art today, I also will have to know what's up tomorrow. I have to keep up with it. That is the difficulty with arch. Selinux is just one example but probably a prominent. I bet many people running arch have not installed it.

It's a good question.

Fedor does not provide an image for every DE/wm. Anyone can create a custom atomic fedora variant with the desired de.

Moreover, you can create your own image and deploy it to 100 machines and all of them will have the exact same os and packages. This may not be useful for you as an end user directly but the dev who is developing the image for you (e.g. fedora in the case of silverblue) knows that you have the exact same comouter as him and if it doesn't work on your pc, it doesn't work on his, because it is the same. Hence, better support for you.

I am speaking of day to day use of a computer.

In your case it matters. it always matters if it's the main task. even in your case you do the comparison once. And a task that is performed once, shouldn't be the main focus. I wouldn't use atomic for tinkering with the system.

Thx. Looks good markdown ftw

I try to solve the problem that the cpu isn't powerful enough wheras my gpu isn't supported and I need a new one and I want to have a seemless experience.

It's a sign. Take the hint. \s

• try another live usb and or live distro. If that works, it's your usb and or live distro
• did you log out and try again?
• if it's a live usb, can you get to live mode?

I'm not that knowlegable why ublue was created in the first place but ublue has incredible advantages besides not having to layer packages. You can create your own custom distro and ship it to many comouters without major knowledge, time or effort. Can you do the same with opensuse's?

Layering packages shall be annoying. As with other installs, you do it once. Because it's annoying you do it only if it is important. You do not layer random malware downloaded from the internet. You shall not tinker with the system, that's why it is immutable. If you want to tinker, use a traditional installation method, or simply use distrobox

It does not matter much which distro you choose, as long as you choose a bigger distro. They are all well supported linux systems. Use a live USB. You do not have to install it, you can plug it in and use it. Or, install via a virtual machine.

What could I gain from switching? Playing mp3 will always be there and even if support is dropped in 30 years which is highly unlikely, the server can transcode on the fly. I'm unfortunately/ luckily no person with ears that can hear a slight difference between losless and 128kbps

Depends on the client. Configuration for it in Eternity is in the settings

People started saying apps to programs on computer as well. No idea who's fault it is. Apple's? Only old people call it software or so.

I love it. Fedora atomic is amazing.

Is there a reason to choose gitlab over gitea?

We do not need ci/cd

I save everything in mp3 128kbps. I compared the quality with higher quality and with my setup (Bose speakers & in ear headphones) and with my ears, I can't hear a difference. Opus is more efficient but my source is already in mp3 and I don't gain anything by converting it. If I had to convert from flac, I'd choose opus. 1 4k movie is so big, the size of music doesn't really matter at all.

I'm all for foss but foss shall not be a reason to stay behind. We've got enough money to pay for it. We just can't host it anywhere. We have to selfhost it. If there's a good reason to use gitlab over forgejo, we will use gitlab.

That must be a bug. Once images are uploaded on my android, I can delete them all locally and it doesn't het synced.

thx, it does not change anything.,

Thanks!
