LosslessCut doesn’t only use lossless codecs. It losslessly cuts video files encoded in lossy codecs.

You’re confusing cause and effect. It’s lossless because it cuts at keyframes and does not re-encode.

If it did what you’re suggesting it wouldn’t be lossless anymore.

SFP: Small Factor Pluggable (I had to look it up)

That’s weird then. Never happened to me and I’ve used it everyday for a couple of weeks now. I wonder if the two bugs are related.

Also sometimes it just literally does nothing. Push the play button and nothing at all happens.

That’s a bug with the notification/lockscreen widget AFAICT. Pressing play on the main player window should work. This is the most serious bug I’ve found. It’s quite a promising player otherwise.

I’m happy to know that Pocketcasts is OS now, that was my player of choice before trying to jump to Antennapod.

If your device is on this list and you're technically-inclined, consider installing lineageOS.

Your original discussion with @lemillionsocks@beehaw.org, was about power usage while gaming, and the corresponding worst-case battery life. I was referring to this as efficiency.

I understand now that the term was misleading The M1 is 25% more frugal than the M2 under worst-case load.

You are absolutely right about efficiency. Even the (less efficient) M2 is way better than the 6800U for example under single-threaded load. It's ~5W vs ~15W, around 3 times as power hungry as the M2, while performing slightly worse.

The M1 is around 25% more efficient than the M2.

You may want to try sd cards designed for security cameras. They are meant to be recorded to 24/7 and have higher write endurance.

Good points to note, thank you! I would have taken the balancing circuit for granted, but it doesn’t hurt to double-check with vendors.

I didn’t know that deep-discharge batteries also had the same characteristics, TIL, and it makes sense based on my experience with them!

Thanks for your insight. You seem to have some experience.

I’m currently researching a solar hybrid power system in India and am going through different battery types. We have used deep-cycle lead-acid batteries with a regular UPS and I’m familiar with their lifesoan.

Do lifepo4s last longer? I’m only seeing marginally longer lifespans. I’m also concerned about safety. I’m quite scared of regular lithiums and have read that lifepo4s are more hardy.

What about maintenance? Anything else I need to know about them?

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but auto batteries aren’t meant for deep discharge. UPS’s use a specific type of battery that is meant for it.

Using auto batteries in this situation would likely end up in them dying after a few months.

So did my Asus motherboard. It didn’t install armoury crate, but it pop up as a suggestion. Maybe op just clicked through absent-mindedly?

Thanks!

Install fail2ban. Prevents brute force access to your server. The defaults should be fine.

What’s the code?

I just use my in ear earphones, they work decently well and I’m getting them around anyway.

Helps, thanks! I think I’ll stick to wg just from a purist POV. Also I can afford some downtime for my use case
