Love this series. They are also making a show based on the books which I'm hopeful will be good

10 dead, 30 injured after car intentionally plows into crowd in New Orleans in c/news

I've seen moveable anti car barricades. I think they work the same as those anti tank things. If someone runs into it the car is lifted off the ground. Something like this https://barriers.miframsecurity.com/products/

PdfDing - Now with editing functionalities in c/selfhosted

[–] tyrant 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's so much better than the other PDF things I've used. I can measure drawings, set dimensioning scale, comment, edit, all easily. I don't know why more software doesn't take their lead. Bluebeam is industry standard for my world and it's way more expensive and way worse of a product. Pdfxchange users unite!

Have dimensioning and scaling on there? I have yet to find a good PDF program in Linux for working with architectural drawings. In Windows I use pdfxchange (and also through wine in Linux) but would love a native solution.

Studying back muscles. Feedback appreciated! in c/artshare

The back isn't bad but you might want to study heads next. It seems you've placed an animal head on a human body.

Patagonia’s Ties to a Dark-Money Operation Bankrolling Democratic Candidates in c/politics

[–] tyrant 14 points 4 weeks ago

This is phrased in a negative light. I read it as "Patagonia is supporting the Democratic party!"

Check out fiio or other audiophile portable players. Maybe more pricey but I think some of them will fit your needs

Ok, I take it back. Vegan interior design is definitely the most important new frontier.

Mint (noob) default apps with wine (self.linuxmint)

Coming over from windows again. I've got pretty much everything figured out. I even got a VM going with my CAD software so I don't need to switch between Windows! I was super proud of myself on that one. The last thing I'm having trouble with....

I use pdfxchange for my PDF editor. It works great in wine but they don't have a specific Linux release. (If there is a good PDF editor that is Linux native let me know, I need good Mark up and dimensioning tools that can scale off of the drawings). I'm trying to set it to open PDFs by default but can't figure it out. Does someone have a good (easy) way to do it?

Older kids book recommendations (self.books)

Anyone have suggestions for a 10 year old who likes comic mischief? He's a huge fan of diary of a wimpy kid series but his reading level has moved beyond that. He's also really enjoyed the wild robot series, Matilda, and the skunk and fox books.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: thank you all for your great recommendations. I'm going to check them all out with him tonight!

jellyfin + Xbox One playback issues (self.jellyfin)

submitted 1 year ago by tyrant to c/[email protected]

8 comments fedilink

I've set up a jellyfin server on a Windows desktop machine (yeah I know, not the best option). I think hardware server side is more than sufficient with i7 4790 3.6ghz, 3060ti, 32gb ram. For client I'm using Xbox One x with jellyfin client. The server is currently connected via WiFi. I'm getting playback stuttering after about 20 min or so of playback. I'm hoping to get some guidance for transcoding settings and general setup help.

I don't think it's simply wifi causing the issue as the playback bar on Xbox shows the video is buffered for several minutes ahead of playback location.
