I have been backing up the photos folder for my immich. Something weird happened with one of my hard drives so i had to restore. It has a folder for each year and inside there is a folder for each day. immich doesnt support the ability to drag and drop the year folder into the UI. What’s the best way to get all my media back...
I should not need to run a container in privileged mode. What’s the container good for then?
Yes, there is no error, yet I was not able to transcode. I had rranscode to x265 and av1 enabled. Ever since disabling av1 it works, yet I have to check again. Meaning, probably the problem was that it tried to encode to av1 and that failed. Yet I still need to run it in privileged mode.
I was Nobara user, then I am using Fedora right now. I want to use things like Hyprland etc. and ya know, Its damn cool to say I am using arch btw. So I’ve decided to use Arch Linux. But everyone says its always breaking and gives problems. That’s because of users, not OS… right? I love to deal with problems but I don’t...
Of course arch runs but you have to take care of everything. You have to install flatpak etc. Yourself. You will only do that if you keep up to date with the system. On fedora, especially fedora atomic the maintainers take care of it and somewhat teach you. There’s much more than just flatpak. You have to know the system or being eager to research everything. It’s good to understand linux but not if you just want to own a computer and use a text editor and browser. I’m not op btw.
All good. Arch is just not for someone who doesn’t care about the computer at all and who doesn’t want to know what a firewall is. And it doesn’t matter which distro you use, you should always use the arch wiki. That’s the holy grail.
Hello! I recently listened to a podcast that talked about how storing media files in .av1 format is very efficient and storage-friendly. I’ve been storing my files in .mkv format, but now I’m considering using Handbrake or a similar service to convert all my video files to .av1 if it’s more compressed than .mkv. So;...
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.
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 stumbled upon noice a couple of weeks ago. It is a beautiful app. It just plays noise, e.g. bird sounds. You can set a timer, e.g. 5 minutes and it’ll stop after that. That’s perfect for meditation or sleeping. I’m just a random user who likes the app.

And I tried /dev/dri/renderD128 but both don’t work. Moreover, I enabled encoding in HEVC format, hardware encoding and selected hardware accelleration with intel quicksync (QSV) and enabled hardware decoding for H264, HEVC, …
But if that’s enabled, transcoding doesn’t work at all on the player.
