I’m out of the loop. What is it for?

Lactose-free milk is a thing, in case you’ve never heard of it.

A typical data center rack holds about 40 servers, each with at least two networking interfaces. According to Boote, the Ethernet interfaces of a single rack draw 160 watts in total.

“Reducing the power draw of a data center, which may have hundreds or thousands of racks, would be akin to an energy savings of switching a building from incandescent to more energy efficient LED lighting and be well worth the investment,” he told LinuxInsider.

According to Boote, this optimization fixes a part of the kernel written when lower-speed Ethernet interfaces drew a fraction of today’s electrical needs. The networking stack design did not account for the growing power budget required by modern networking interfaces.

“By changing the priority of how the computers schedule tasks during high bandwidth events, a computer can better deal with networking traffic and prioritize energy expenditure in a way that makes sense for modern hardware and architectures,” he reasoned.

Oh boy, where do I even start? This comment is wrong in multiple ways. Let’s break it down:

1. “The way triangulation works is by essentially measuring distance.”

   • Nope. This describes trilateration, not triangulation.
   • Triangulation uses angles, while trilateration uses distances. GPS works via trilateration.

2. “1 satellite distance puts you anywhere in a radius (circle) of that satellite.”

   • Kind of, but missing a crucial detail:
     • A single satellite defines a sphere around itself (not just a circle—you exist in 3D space).

3. “2 Satellites puts you at 1 of 2 locations where those radiuses intersect.”

   • Wrong. Two satellite distance spheres intersect to form a circle, not just two points.

4. “3 satellites gives you a single location.”

   • Mostly right, but incomplete.
   • In theory, three satellites narrow it down to two possible points, but one is often out in space or somewhere unrealistic, so it can often be ruled out.
   • However, because your device lacks an atomic clock, it typically requires four satellites to synchronize time properly.

5. “That’s why it’s called triangulation. Tri = 3”

   • Nope. GPS does NOT use triangulation.
   • The “tri” in triangulation comes from angles, not the number of satellites. GPS uses trilateration, which is based on measuring distances, not angles.

Final Verdict

This comment is a trainwreck of incorrect terms and flawed explanations. If they meant “trilateration,” at least part of it would make sense, but calling it “triangulation” completely ruins their credibility.

So, in short? No, their comment is very incorrect. 🚨

Are you on Chrome?

Exactly!

It has not worked for me in over a year to the point I’ve had to use other apps like Swiftfin (is also broken, I compiled it myself to fix a few things but never could get my code upstreamed), or SenPlayer or Infuse. SenPlayer works well enough honestly, but I am glad to see active development of the Jellyfin iOS app!

I came up with this idea more than 20 years ago as a way for cars to tell each other about events ahead of them. Imagine if you’re on a two-lane road heading away from an deer and you pass vehicles going the opposite direction. Your car could relay that information to then and have it age out after a few minutes.

They are literally cutting critical services to “cut out waste” while increasing the budget, likely lining their pockets. Look over here while we pick your pocket.

Remove all payment options for it and disable the renew. Piece of cake.

There are some Amazon Basics branded stuff. Is that not making? What about the books that they print on demand? Not defending, just curious what the definition of “makes” is.

If it came to that, the SD card would be confiscated and/or the camera smashed.

Which search engines would do that?

This is a feature that Jellyfin natively has already. So now Jellyfin exceeds Plex in some areas.

Which client are you seeing the issue on and can you provide more info on the type of embedded subtitle (run mediainfo on the file if on Linux)?

I was replying to maybe share the wrapper script I wrote, but if you’re going to be a jerk about it…

What are the issues you’re having with Jellyfin’s subtitles? Do you know if there is an open bug report or feature request that is tracking the same?

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby which was written in .NET. The server backend and web page are all (or mostly) .NET is my understanding. It makes use of external programs like ffmpeg on the server or VLC on the apps.

Can you describe the subtitles issue you’re having? Do you know if there is an open bug report or feature request open on github or Jellyfin’s website?
