  • Unraid “supports” docker compose. You can install and use it but you won’t be able to utilize how unraid handles docker containers.

    All that unraid does is make docker more accessible for the normal user. In the end the container template constructs a docker run command.

    So you could use portainer to manage stacks through a webui or install compose and have to SSH into the unraid server all the time.


  • I had the pleasure recently to create an ffmpeg command to transcode a video into HEVC 10bit with quicksync.

    I had tha previously running completely fine on my Nvidia GPU. You would think that it would just be replacing the parameter which device or hardware acceleration to use.

    Yeah, turns out that there are like 4 ways to set the quality value of the transcoded output, CRF didn’t work for some reason with quick sync so you need to use global quality or something. I spend days on this trying to figure this out, DAYS.

    It is a very powerful tool but every time I have to use it, it is too complicated and I have to spend hours or days to get it working.




  • The stupidity is insane.

    Many of those people don’t really care because they don’t think it will affect them or don’t really understand what that whole thing means. All they care about is being able to scroll.

    There was a poll about the future with the protest of a Subreddit I am part of and many voted for staying open with the reasoning “it hurts the community”.

    While I would agree with the Argument that being private on a tech-oriented Subreddit is bad because all of the accumulated knowledge will be inaccessible so troubleshooting will not work or be as good. But then you could just be restricted and have both, keeping the protest going but not locking out help to common troubleshooting.

    All they see now is that they are inconvenienced by the whole thing and they don’t like it without understanding that many others will have a much worse impact and the future state of the Subreddits could be much worse or take longer to moderate impacting everyone.

    But this is not something they can see or understand.
