Why? Any distro can be used for anything.

Slackware or Gentoo if you hate yourself

Hey!

I’ve not read all of it, but if you’re referring to the stuff at the beginning - none of those limitations apply to 5700xt.

If you mean something else - then, naturally, I would ask if it actually affects your media in the first place. It might, but I wouldn’t expect that.

I mean if you’re keeping the GPU - you can just set jellyfin to use VAAPI and utilise the gpu that way.

• https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/VAAPI
• https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration#Configuring_VA-API

in case you want to tell me what I have is fine and I don’t need an upgrade

What you have is fine and you don’t need an upgrade 😁

But we’re not looking for fine, are we? :)

I would keep the gpu and get as many cpu cores and ram as my budget allows. Once you cross into “stupid amount of RAM” territory you can start utilising tmpfs for transient things such as jellyfin transcode directory to:

• preserve those precious ssd writes (not really relevant anymore)
• make it more efficient (feels-good kind of relevant)
• running a filesystem in ram is really cool (most relevant, naturally :D)

No, comercial IPs are fine. You’ll have trouble with some of them - Digital Ocean is a notorious example - where the provider itself blocks outbound port 25 and there’s nothing you can do. I think DO only does that for new accounts.

I myself am running it on Linode - it did get purchased by Akamai a couple of years ago, so I can no longer blindly recommend it - but so far it’s been working fine. One thing I did recently discover was the ability to request a /56 block on Linode - my pre-assigned IPv6 got blacklisted somewhere as at least the whole /64 and simply generating another IP from the same /64 did not help. Getting a fresh block solved it for me, though, and now I know that if this /56 gets blacklisted - it’s my fault. Unless, of course, I get caught up in a /48… 😳

You won’t be able to host email on a residential IP - all of them are on a permanent blacklist. I understand the money argument - and it’s a real argument - but host your own email is just so cool!

Look, ma, we’re famous!

Yea, exploding heads made the rounds a couple of times, but after actually checking them out it became clear it’s run by a teenager surrounded by other 10-15 teenagers. A few main instances blocked it and it died. The main teenager then started hilarious chaos as a whitelist-only instance, but because it did not attract anyone - federation was reenabled at some later point.

There’s a difference between a couple of edgy teens and a big set of ideological morons who keep causing trouble.

Defederation is a nuclear option - at the time user-level blocking was not a thing; nowadays it’s not a problem.

TL;DR - freedom of speech as much as possible, with limits when it becomes necessary.

It’s trickier, but not impossible. Lemmyverse.net is a good starting point for community search

I’m impressed!

I’m in this picture and I like it!

Gentoo gang represent!

Irc is not federated, though. Servers don’t talk to each other

That’s a very good point! Thank you!

Is virus alive? We have tons of those as well.

I saw “fall off” and immediately thought of this aussie gold 😁

Can’t recall what the title was, but I do remember reading a guide of sorts that essentially boiled down to “start following tags first, you can filter people later”.

Ah, the wifebeater drink.

OpenRC represent!

For those already owning one - try setting up pihole or an equivalent. Sony could be serving ads from a domain used by something like a cdn, but I bet they don’t.
