Ich bin begeisterter Pen & Paper Rollenspieler und habe hauptsächlich Erfahrung mit Pathfinder, Cthulhu und Vampire.

Eine meiner größten Leidenschaften, das Programmieren, habe ich zu meinem Beruf gemacht.

Ansonsten verbringe ich meine Freizeit mit zocken, lesen, sporadisch Gitarre spielen und natürlich meiner Familie.

Not enough space to translate everything into english. Here's the short version:

  • tabletop roleplaying (Pathfinder, Cthulhu)
  • software developer
  • family man
  • guitar

Tomorrow I'm getting two USB sticks (because I've lost all I had). One for a windows recovery drive and one for a bootable USB installer. I feel like trying Ubuntu again for a while! It's been YEARS!

@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@playmedusa are you aware of Ventoy? 🙂

https://ventoy.net/en/index.html

You can install it on a USB drive and then all you need to do is drop ISOs into a folder on the drive's filesystem and carry a selection of OSs on a single drive. 🤩

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@playmedusa oh that's not it. Ventoy is just a wrapper that let's you select from all the ISOs you've included.
It'll boot into a minimal live system and from there you can continue to boot into whatever ISO you've put onto the drive. From there you can of course use a live system, install the OS or whatever. 🙂

@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@playmedusa the same as carrying multiple bootable USB drives.

Apparently there's going to be a reboot of the Naked Gun movies...

Because capitalism can't let things die, they need to keep squeezing every single bit of beloved IP until it becomes an empty shell of its former self, devoid of everything that made it great in the first place.

@hk reading that made me very sad. The Naked Gun movies are some of my alltime favorite comedy movies and nobody can replace Leslie Nielsen as Frank Drebin. It's impossible. Doomed to fail. 😭

Is "fixed stuff" a good git commit message for a big project? I'm asking for myself 🤔

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@apfohl sad, but true. 😭
Meanwhile I'm spending about three times as long on commit messages than on the fix itself. I take commit messages really seriously, because they've saved my was quite often. Well, in the private project I'm working on. I same to the team about 5 years after everybody else and whenever I wonder "why?" 'git blame' explains it to me.
A good, clean history would help many FOSS projects with onboarding new people.

While it's nice to have a CI built in, I can't help but think GitHub actions is some kind of extension of Cthulhu.

of course has its own problems, but I feel like @WoodpeckerCI with my @forgejo instance is easier to grok.

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@kfdm hard agree.
The "plugin" economy on GitHub is insane. I find it very tedious and complicated to figure out how to plug together my pipeline. And ultimately it's still running containers, so there's no need to make everything so convoluted.
Meanwhile, if you've ever worked with a Dockerfile, you can plug together a Woodpecker pipeline in no time. 🙂

Had to get one of the wife's PC building friends over to figure out why we couldn't get the PC working.

Long, long story short. My son ordered the AIO cooler with RGB as the plain one wasn't available. The new motherboard has 12v RGB, the cooler uses 5v.

Also the CPU was running at 80°c before the friend found a bios setting to run the cooler properly.

All working but no RGB. But I have found a 12v to 5v adapter on Amazon, need to see if my son is bothered about Flashy lights.

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@UKFilmNerd did you apply the thermal paste? 🤔
If it's not that, then the cooler is probably not getting enough power. I can't remember ever having to mess with the cooler settings in BIOS. I always just plugged things together and it worked pretty much out of the box. 😔

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@UKFilmNerd oh man. I hope you get it working. 😩

Then again you're a way better and more patient Souls player than I ever was, so you'll probably be fine and beat it first try. 😅

@COMPU73E what a great statement. 🤩
That is on par with mashing enter to just get into the action with Doom. I read somewhere that the early ID Software games were designed that way to minimize "time to action". How did we end up with these minute long wait times for publisher, studio, audio, physics, dev environment, whatever modules... just let me play my game.

Mein Jellyfin Server auf einem Rock64 hat jetzt tatsächlich fast 10 Minuten gebraucht, bis er nach einem Kaltstart wieder verfügbar war. Das ist mir zu lang.

Auf der anderen Seite - wenn er mal läuft, dann reicht der Rock64 für Musikstreaming leistungsmäßig völlig aus.

Will aber eigentlich gerade kein Geld für neues Spielzeug ausgeben :S

Also bleibt's wohl erst mal dabei ;-)

@thomas ist mir auch schon aufgefallen, aber erst seit dem Update auf 10.9.x.
Früher ist mir das nicht so extrem aufgefallen, also geh ich davon aus, dass es eine Änderung aus der letzten Version ist.

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@thomas Nee, bisher hab ich das noch nicht nachverfolgt. Jellyfin läuft bei mir auch auf nem Pi 4, also nicht das schnellste der Welt. 😅
Ich hab ein wenig auf GitHub durch die Tickets geschaut, aber auf Anhieb erst mal nichts passendes gefunden.

Irgendein Bug im letzten -Update (10.9.2) macht Sperenzchen, so dass Clients nur noch eingeschränkt bzw. gar nicht mehr funktionieren/connecten. 😩 Halben Tag alles mögliche versucht und jetzt geb ich einfach auf und warte auf einen (hoffentlich baldigen) hotfix.

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@platypus @frederic Hmmm. Spannenderweise ist das bei mir nicht so. Verbinden klappt und abspielen auch.
Mir ist aber auch aufgefallen, dass sich der Android TV Client beim Abspielen immer mal wieder aufhängt und neugestartet werden muss.
Habt ihr zu eurem Problem ein GitHub Ticket gefunden?

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@platypus @frederic das hier vielleicht?

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11715

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@platypus @frederic vielleicht was in den Client Logs? 🤔

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@frederic @platypus geht der Client denn auf die richtige Adresse? Im gleichen Netzwerk gibts ja auch so ne Auto-Detect Funktion die dann aber die IP verwendet, statt dem DNS Namen.

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@frederic @platypus du kannst auch im Bridge Netzwerk den Port freigeben und trotzdem einen Reverse Proxy für TLS verwenden. So mach ich das auch. 🙂
Dann findet der Client aber Jellyfin eben nur über die IP. Sollte dann aber auch kein HTTPS verwenden, also war mein Gedanke von vornherein falsch. 🤔

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@frederic ist dein Jellyfin öffentlich zugänglich oder verwendest du einen eigenen DNS Server wie Pi-Hole? Vielleicht verwendet das Smart TV einen falschen DNS Server. 🤔

mforester,
@mforester@rollenspiel.social avatar

@frederic macht Sinn. Ist das Zertifikat abgelaufen? 🤔

It's sad that not only large companies go through the cycle, I'm starting to notice it in many content creators too.

I started following their feeds, YouTube channels, newsletters, etc. because I enjoyed what they said, the topics they brought up, and the way they discussed them. But as they gain traction, the quality of their products take a hit as they all inevitably veer towards self-promotion of courses, seminars, books, etc.

It's exhausting and quite depressing, honestly

@matt @hk yes, I hate the game. Why do you ask? 😅
