  • For Fedora, it’s three commands:

    sudo dnf copr enable patrickl/yabridge

    sudo dnf install yabridge --refresh

    After a wine update, run:

    yabridgectl sync

    And AV Linux is one dev yeah, but it doesn’t much matter. It’s just a tweaked build, it’s based on MX so you’re still getting all the updates needed, just with some config changes more or less.

    Fwiw I use straight Debian, but I’ve also been using Debian for so long that it’s graduated college, met a partner, got married and is considering kids.

    Ubuntu I avoid these days because I think Canonical is running it into the toilet, with so many bad decisions (snaps, pro subscription, etc) that I just won’t touch it.

    That said, AV Linux is essentially deb based anyway (MX is based on Debian), so it’s a nice setup if you don’t want to have to think about your kernel.

    Fedora I also like, I’m just less of a yum/dnd guy than an apt guy (which I have literally typed into RHEL machines before remembering I was being an idiot).









  • You realize I’m not the first person you replied to, to whom you asked “Who is Anita Couch” to, right?

    It was also on Threads in response to the daily beast article, posted on r/LGBT, r/politicalhumor, r/djt_uncrnsored, whitepeopletwitter, etc all yesterday on reddit, as well as on x (mostly from @RightWingCope as far ss I know), others used #SofaLoren when posting.

    As the picture came out yesterday…

    Yes, it’s trending. You not having heard it yet doesn’t change that. Next time, you could search for “Anita Couch JD Vance” (replacing with whatever recent shenanigans that come out of the Trump campaign), and you could get the info rather than respond in the way that you did.





  • I’d lean towards the pi being the problem, but you can test the network throughput with iperf, and would want to test the videos outside of Kodi on the pi, so you could also check top and see what the processing looks like.

    If I remember my pi 4 hardware decoding specs correctly, I believe h.264, MPEG 2, and VC1, and some support for HEVC. If I had to guess, you may have some codecs that aren’t handled by hardware acceleration, and instead just CPU.

    My best rec would be to use either a dedicated stream box (like a fire stick, Nvidia shield, etc) which has better codec support, or pick up like a little Intel n100 based system, which will handle a drastically wider set of codecs with full acceleration support.

    Right now I’ve got a Roku and a Google TV Chromecast, and I’ve been trying with various environments on an old Lenovo m910q so I can find my favorite fit of UI/distro. The Roku and Chromecast never stutter, and I don’t do transcoding for inside the home. Works with 4K HDR HEVC no problem.

    Edit: Autocorrect annoyances.



  • Tiny/mini/micro makes up my server environment (and two customs using old cases and replaced parts).

    Storage is a 1520+ and the two customs, with the 1515+ for backups I don’t want to lose (syncs to two other locations).

    Tiny/mini/micro is the majority of compute tasks, mostly proxmox, LXC’s, and a few VMs.

    The little machines have plenty of processing power, usually nvme but I can add it on if needed. Combine it with network storage, and you don’t need anything else imo.

    Bonus is they are small and cheap as off lease machines being auctioned off.
