scans for open ports ran continuously since the 1990s, it was never a big deal. Also they only run on lower ports (not that it matters)
what are you talking about killing your internet performance? You can have hundreds of thousands of scans per day (which isn’t gonna happen, you won’t even get 100) and it still won’t bog down jank cable internet from early 2000s
It’s zipping a zip file. E
no it isn’t, zipping is lossless. encoding is lossy.
just sad…
No, the specific file size is irrelevant, he’s wanting smaller file sizes. CRF is a waste of data on more than 70% of scenes in hollywood movies. You set a bitrate and let it go. This is also why virtually all music now is VBR
flatpak does indeed deduplicate. The stuff is updated to whatever is required as a dependency to whatever programs are installed. And versions are shared between applications when versions match as well…
So I am guessing it is just like flatpak
just fyi x264 and x265 are programs, written by VideoLAN organization. h264 and h265 are the codecs
And no doing that is no guarantee in visibly worse quality. Depends entirely on the video in that scenario. Plenty of them will look almost the same (though h265 is a lot blurrier than 264, I’d say h264 to h264 you’re likely to barely notice)
Do it.
There’s really not much that can end badly, someone gets in your network (unlikely anyone even knows it exists)? reformat all your shit. Just by knowing what a DMZ is you are already more qualified than half the people I’ve met self hosting
do you run a business out of your house? do you run a bunch of peoples personal info? does anyone else? If you answered no to all of these then there really isn’t much that can “go wrong” you can just unplug your shit.
hosting email also isn’t that big of a deal but your home ISP will block port 25, you need to have a “business” one for them to unblock it and even then sometimes have to directly request it. Things like mailcow docker make it dead easy.
and yea as the other guy said always update your stuff
I agree. Just run it. that’s how I learned decades ago. Don’t ignore it either if you wanna get better.
The risks are just as bad as owning some amazon IoT device
yea they’ll plug in the drive and windows will popup “this drive needs to be formatted” and the rest is history
oh is this the proper way to link to other lemmy stuff without sending them to the other servers domain? to add the “!” in front? I’ve seen a lot of links before, which bring you to the other site. but never the “!”
also nearly all of the stuff on that site looks like garbage that will do exactly what you said.
and yes I looked at every single program… there aren’t that many
that’s a good thing, those macros are how office documents transmit more viruses than anything else lmfao
pretty sure “Nextcloud GmbH” is located in Germany (assuming the gmbh is real) and within nextcloud it has a replacement for all of those. Though nextcloud is pretty slow and clunky to run, it does work and does replace all of those by itself. (except email, run your own mailcow)
they already exist, the (software) interface is what needs work.
damn, of all the people you’d think those guys would actually have used the .local or .config =[
I have 73 dot files in my home directory lmao
No it isn’t & I didn’t say anything about IQ.
He said
he started to realize that what he was taught simply isn’t lining up with reality.
to realize this is a man of high logic
There are no lossless copies of any movie that have ever been released to the public
Delivery formats (h265, h264, h263 etc) are compressed and lossy.
You need to do 2 pass encoding. You should also not use CRF. You should pick a bitrate for the file size you want. Do a first pass which analyzes the video to see which sections require more data, and then run a second pass which will give high bitrate to more action scenes and lower bitrate to the credits and slower talking scenes.
Some action scenes require 5 times more data to look as good as a talking dinner scene, you couldn’t even notice the quality difference but the bitrate requirement is literally 5 times more.
You also need to use the slow preset and use x265 if you’re doing this to archive the stuff forever. Do it once and do it right.
yea I used to use a raspberry pi but it is way too slow with a massive library. and for youtube even the 4 performance is dwarfed by some random half broken laptop. I haven’t tried the pi 5 but doesn’t really matter
