Don’t encode lossy to lossy. The encoding will take forever and the image quality will suffer. If you want file size savings redownload your media in h265 or whatever. Or temporarily download a lossless copy, encode, and delete.

You’re correct that it will reduce file size but encoding lossy to lossy is foolish. You will introduce compression artifacts and have an objectively worse quality image, the encode will take much longer than if you used a proper lossless source, and if you don’t set your configs right you’ll strip out subtitles, tags, chapters, etc

Additionally if the h264 was already compressed by a lot h265 won’t save all that much space, giving you all the downsides with basically no upside

Only dummies encode lossy>lossy. The debate about lossy>h265 is one thing (h265 is not for archival) but h264>h265 will result in visible distortion

In designing systems for behavioral change you need to plan for the phenomenon of extinction burst - as a behavior becomes irrelevant the learner is likely to more fiercely engage in said behavior before adopting a more functional and socially appropriate behavior. Eg if I have a child who punches their parent for attention and I teach the parent to ignore this behavior while also teaching the child to appropriately request attention and reinforce this new behavior I can expect that the child’s violence will worsen a bit as we make it irrelevant. If the parent truly does a good job of removing the function and ignoring the behavior this is highly likely

This is not perfectly transferable to sociology and group populations but I think there is merit to thinking this way, though I’m not familiar with research on the topic. Metoo was necessary, DEI and affirmative action was necessary, electing a black president was necessary, etc. but the shitheads who resist this social change are possibly going to follow this same phenomenon and rather than adapt they will push even harder to be sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc

Hopefully my framework is applicable. If it is the good news is that it’s called an extinction “burst” because if you power through the behavior reduces quite dramatically. You have to hold your ground though. If you don’t you run the risk of making things even worse: essentially teaching the learner to escalate their behavior to access desired function

Edit: to be clear this isn’t my framework but merely one I am presenting. I don’t want people to think I have the hubris of having come up with these concepts, which would be crazy.

Ohhh

I wonder if this is possibly something they’ve improved in the experimental? Or possibly this is something worth putting a ticket in over. Finamp hasn’t been around that long so improving the intelligence of transcoding may just be something they’ve not gotten to yet

I believe it can

Yeah exactly, ground beef or extruded/separated meat texture.

Same problem that companies like impossible and beyond can’t overcome. The structure of muscle tissue (eg a steak or chicken breast) is tremendously difficult to replicate and that texture is what people love

It’s still a great thing for animal welfare

From what I’ve read lab grown meat is mushy, like a chicken nugget, because it’s basically a paste that’s extruded into a steak like shape. Been a few years since I’ve read up on it though so maybe they have a new way of dealing with it

“At case disposition, 65% of persons ages 12 to 17 charged with a felony in adult criminal courts were convicted, compared to 25% of persons charged with a misdemeanor.”

First thing I found that wasn’t mock trials. I’m hesitant to link the research I was involved on because my name is attached but fwiw my research was mock trials.

Its more than that

I assisted on research when I was an undergrad that consistently showed simply trying a juvenile as an adult meant they were far more likely to be convicted

I am sure the state is well aware of this effect and wants to make it easier to increase conviction rates

That’s similar to the isolated vlan but someone who knows more about networking than me will probably be able to explain why the vlan is superior. I would imagine it’s failsafeness, the vlan is just its own thing

The benefit of doing the domain specific firewall blocking would be if you wanted your printer to otherwise have internet access (eg to check octoprint remotely). I don’t print when I’m not home due to the risk of fire and I don’t trust opening up my printer to the web, so I don’t bother with this. Others may have different opinions on acceptable risk

Easy mode: don’t connect it to internet

Slightly harder: add exceptions for bambus servers in your routers firewall so that requests to that domain are blocked

Dependent on hardware that you own and less likely to exist on basic routers: create a virtual lan for your 3d printer that does not have internet access but has intranet access, allowing you to connect between computers but not to the web (my preferred solution)

Are you sure the Jellyfin app isn’t transcoding? What do logs say
