Tdarr AMD GPU transcoding...how?
  • I have AMD hardware acceleration working for Plex in an LXC container with an AMD APU so I'd assume it's possible.

    Tdarr seems to use ffmpeg under the covers, so I'd focus on getting that working with amd. If I remember I had to install the mesa drivers and pass in the /dev/dri folder. Then you can check ffmpeg for the amf encoders (AMD media framework).

    'A lot of money': Trump owes $87K in interest per day until he pays the fine in his civil fraud case
  • The crime was against the state of New York who has an interest in people believing New York has a free and fair financial market and that fraud is not tolerated.

    The bank WAS also harmed. They were taking a bigger risk than they were being paid for. They would have asked for MORE interest if he'd been honest.

    Behold the mighty Spheramid!
  • They're also leaving almost half the volume in bits on the ground.

    Volume of a sphere of diameter 1 = ~0.52 Volume of a cube of 1 unit = 1 Volume of a cylinder = ~0.79

    So not only are they not doing the required job. They're wasting twice as much time and material than needed to make the job easier...

    And you could still build a pyramid with cylinders...

    PDF Editor for repairing book scan OCR?
  • If you want to host it locally, Stirling PDF can be run in docker, and uses a library that uses Tesseract. Has a bunch of other handy PDF operations, too. I keep it around for the two times a year I need to merge, split, or decrypt PDFs.

    https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/HowToUseOCR.md

    It can do it straight from PDF and do multiple files at a time.

    Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?
  • A median is an average and is exactly that.

    Intelligence also tends to be a bell curve distribution which means the mean is likely that way too. Also means the mode, the final type of average, is also likely in the middle.

    How do I get started with game development? (Godot specifically)
  • I actually learned GDScript this summer. When the Unity debacle happened, Zenva.com was running a Godot humble bundle. While the bundle doesn't exist, you can find similar courses on Youtube. The courses were just creating simple games, like 'Create a 2D Platformer with Godot 4' or 'Real-Time Strategy Game with Godot 4'. I did about half a dozen of those. That gave me the tools to understand the basic usage of GDScript as well as the Godot engine. Anything more advanced was googling my question. There's A LOT of GDScript developers, and with it being open source the community tends to be very helpful, ime.

    What's the best jarred pasta sauce? I don't like the cheap Aldi store brand.
  • I got two big jars for 9.98 at Sam's today. They're each almost twice the size of what Walmart carries, which is almost $5 a jar. 44 oz for $10 vs 13 oz for $5

    It makes an excellent pizza sauce for home made pizzas too.

    [Solved][Kinda] Server blocking LAN responses over Wireguard VPN
  • I had dns issues until I got my allowed ips squared away. You could try setting it to 0.0.0.0/0 if it's not already to verify it's not the problem.

    Should I putchase a 4-year-old nVidia TV Pro, another technology, or wait for next Gen?
  • The only reason I think they might soon if at all is because the Nintendo Switch and the shield have similar SoCs. Tegra X1 with a Maxwell GPU. Well Switch 2 is close enough to release that people are seeing it and the SoC is showing up in benchmarks. Another ARM chip, but with an Ampere GPU this time.

    So if NVidia is already building the SoC for Nintendo, it may be reasonably easy to make an upgrade to the Shield.

  • The lines before it seem to imply you've run it before. If this is a new install I'd try dropping the scheme entirely and starting again.

    Top 20 CEO pay in the S&P 500 is disgusting
  • Why should the shareholders interest even be prioritized. What about customers? Or employees? Or the business itself?

    This priority on short term profits for stock price is toxic to functional capitalism.
