I have a pi4 running on an ssd over usb3 with a usb3 dock that has 2x2TB drives for storage.

At the moment I have mainly music on one and mainly video on the other, with important stuff on both and elsewhere.

Is it sensible to combine 2x2TB hdd's via usb3 dock into a 4TB filesystem/pool/volume/thing......and if so can I have tiered storage so if one drive fails the other will have a mirror of important stuff?

I need bass! (www.youtube.com)
submitted 9 months ago by SnailMagnitude@mander.xyz to c/jazz@lemmy.world

The bass player in Zbigniew Namysłowski is fucking awesome, first time in a while I've really heard the bass stand out all they way through tunes.

Getting knee deep into Mingus at the moment but

curious for bass heavy recommendations?

I've been using the 'Open With' extension on Firefox to play video through mpv with a click

Seen many puffballs in this area, but never like this. Today they were everywhere.

Been wanting to get my hands on one of these for a long time.

Found three big ones, which was nice 🙂

Transcoding anything >720p is painful.

I run ancient hardware for desktop/laptop >10yrs old apple stuff running linux. I consume media mainly via rpi4 or android.

What's a minimum level system capable of trans-coding 4k video to x265 in at the very least real time? Is there a tiny trans-coding device out there somewhere?

Would a NUC do? How old or new to churn out 4k x265

Can I avoid hardware? Are cloud gpu's a thing?

It does indeed, thank you.

Don't often read about a mushroom that was considered edible until ~1940's. Sneaky assassin.

Will be doing a fresh install on an old laptop in the near future and was considering trying wayland.

Can you recommend a decent & light window manager & terminal emulator?

I've played around with wayland but always ended up back on xorg, was gonna give it another shot.

I've not come across this packaging before and can't see any trademark.

Just wondering if anyone has seen this, nugs ain't too dense either.

I thought Libertarian was just an American thing for people who don't like the Republican candidate but don't want anyone messing with gun or equality laws.

Thanks, will pop a wee dropper bottle in my swim bag and give this a shot.

linked added to the OP....odd, I posted it as a link, but added an image which seems to be the only visible content.

Sorry, new here & confused by stuff.

Debian had a very long and painful public debate to eventually depend exclusively on systemd, from Red Hat. I'm not so sure they choose wisely to heavily depend upon RH/IBM LGLP code.

The new release is the first ever, I think, to offer non-free software by default.

Personal opinion is that Gentoo had it right all along. They spend a lot of time & man hours ensuring pretty much anything coming from Red Hat, that isn't being filtered by Linus, is optional. They created eudev, elogind & made Gnome portable again when Red Hat tried to shut down portability. Neddy shows that you can run a bleeding edge system whilst not depending on much at all from Red Hat over the past 15yrs or so.

There are archived here: https://the-eye.eu/redarcs

And some tools here:

I've grabbed a few archives but not spent anytime checking I can read them yet.

Hoard and post when relevant imo.

I'm using a pi4 as a media center so 265 as it can cope with 2160p
