What does he play it on?

If he’s like I was and playing on hand me down office PC’s, consider getting a better keyboard/mouse, headphones, a stick of memory or something in that line to improve his experience. Actual pc upgrades are probably a little expensive for your budget, although really nice large monitors can be had for <$150 these days.

@toxictenement@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Since mullvad doesn’t support port forwarding anymore, you’ll want to split tunnel it outside of the vpn. However, if you’re considering switching vpn’s at all, airvpn has a dynamic dns service (and port forwarding) which you can set up to have a static url for your jellyfin.

Just be sure to enable the DLNA server and allow remote connections in the jellyfin settings either way.

Do you know what aspects of Roblox you’re brother likes (crafting, game building, the social aspect, etc)?

For a more crafting heavy game, there’s Minecraft or Terraria (I think). For game building, Game Builder Garage on Switch, or Dreams on PlayStation might be nice. Unfortunately, I don’t have any good social game recommendations, though.

Never played Roblox myself, but my son had a big phase and still plays from time to time. Back then we’d get him Roblox figurines once in a while. They can be disassembled/mixed and they come with codes for virtual items as well.

Stillhart,

they come with codes for virtual items as well.

Ooh, this is a great compromise. I like this idea!

AphoticDev, do piracy w Any good tools for converting a YT playlist to mp3?
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Why would you want to convert to mp3? This ain’t 2003, there’s way better formats to use than that.

kingludd,

Can you give some examples to read up on?

AphoticDev,
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Depends on whether you want lossless or lossy. For lossy, OOG Vorbis is the way to go if you want to support open source. If you don’t care about that, WMA is a proprietary format alternative. Both WMA and Vorbis have better quality than MP3, with equivalent file sizes. I use Vorbis myself, because it’s free.

If you want lossless, idk, because I don’t fuck with that.

SBS1313, (edited )

Just a small question let us say i wanted to convert all of my mp3 files into oog or wma. Will i loose some quality or it is fine (my files are around 128kbps)??? Because better quality for same size seems like a switch i would do. (I will convert with AIMP)

ByteWizard,

If they’re already MP3 then don’t bother. Can’t make it sound better after it’s already been compressed. You’d need to get source material then convert to whatever format.

There’s nothing wrong with MP3 though. Hell most people are listening to streaming like Pandora and Spotify and don’t complain.

AphoticDev,
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Vorbis has better compression than MP3, so you won’t lose any quality, and the files should be a little smaller.

TerryTPlatypus,

There might be, but as a standard mp3 is by far the most cross compatible format on any device. Plus, if you feel like it later you can just create a program to convert all the mp3 files into other formats.

AphoticDev,
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

OOG Vorbis has been around for years, what device are you imagining that can’t play it? A Zune?

Likely they are putting it on mobile phone, and both major OSes can handle those files.

TerryTPlatypus,

you’re probably right about that, i never thought of it that way!

ArcaneSlime,

My phone will play .ogg with VLC, but the little bar that tracks song progress is broken, same with .opus. .flac works but phone manufacturers have decided I don’t need storage space and I instead need their cloud, which I refuse to use, so .mp3 it is.

AphoticDev,
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

If you’re having issues with OOG, then try AAC. It was designed to be the successor to MP3, and when MP3 is phased out in the coming years, it will be in favor of AAC. I use Vorbis because it’s open source, but there are other options than that.

ArcaneSlime,

I’ll give it a shot.

MaeTheDoctor,

Because the first audio format I think of is mp3, that’s literally it.

No matter what anyone says money is the best gift

Even robux is effectively a gift card (you could even argue that its worse because of the value of digital goods)

UrLogicFails,

I personally disagree.

While cash is the most useful gift, gifts aren’t a utilitarian practice. A gift is an opportunity to show someone that not only do you really know them enough to choose something they would enjoy; but also that you’re thinking about them, and that they are worth effort and thought to you.

Of course, good gifting gets harder as your giftees can afford what they want on their own, but that just makes the sentimental aspects even more important (in my opinion).

Evergreen5970,

For a certain type of person who heavily values utility, yeah, go with money. Most useful, the person you replied to has a point.

They’ll likely also appreciate that you know them well enough to know that they would like money the best instead of making the assumption (that would be correct for a lot of people, but not for this particular example person) that they’ll feel money is too impersonal. 😛 Sentiment probably would play a role, with the sentiment still being “you know me well enough to get me the gift I’d like the most.”

I like giving gifts because I feel it’s me showing the other person that I know what they like, that I see them and listen to them. I like receiving gifts that show that the person who got me it knows me well enough to know my likes. I would absolutely prefer money if you’re uncertain of my likes—I also value utility. Even if the gift of money was low-effort and not out of “I know you would prefer money over an incorrect guess at what you like,” I’d still prefer the money. More useful to me and would bring more joy than something I didn’t like.

So I mostly agree with you when it comes to gift-giving, but the person you replied to also has a point!

bilboswaggings,

Ofc something nice and thoughtful is ideal But this guy didn’t give us anything to build off of, other than roblox and not robux

If you know someone and they like gifts: give something useful they would like, but haven’t bought themselves (if they like things to have a use) or something that doesn’t need to have monetary value, like something more personal and thoughtful (if they like decorations and things with personal value)

If you don’t really know the person or they don’t really want random stuff: money, because even though it’s not the best gift out there still it’s better than something they wouldn’t use or already had

MrGerrit,

I really dislike gift cards.

Here, let me change my currency, that in it’s current state can be used in any store you want, to a currency of same value but now you can only use it on one store…

Wookie,
@Wookie@artemis.camp avatar

They have gift card for Visa, Amex, etc, and can be used anywhere

MrGerrit,

Ah okay, those aren’t commonly used where I live. I was thinking about those gift cards that you can only use at one store brand only.

Those you mention are at least a good way if you don’t want to give cash.

Tippon, do piracy w Prowlarr question

This could be a combination of both the other answers. Sonarr and Radarr will only process files they recognise, and only from the folders they monitor.

If you set up Radarr, and only added the original Star Wars to it, you could put every other movie in existence into Radarr’s watch folder, and it wouldn’t do anything with them. It would only deal with the original Star Wars. Radarr, and all the other *arrs, only deal with what you’ve explicitly told them to.

On the other hand, they only process files that are in their respective watch folders. If you created a watch folder for Radarr under downloads/radarr, but Prowlarr was putting the files in the downloads folder, Radarr would never see them. It can only look in the watch folder you set, and any sub folders.

What you can do is set the same root folder for them all, and tell the different *arrs to use sub folders, then use the root folder as a catch all. I can’t remember how to set it up off the top of my head, but I remember that it was pretty simple.

WeAreAllOne,

This is the way I’m set up. One downloads folder and two folders for Sonarr and Radarr respectively that are mapped by them. How do you mean use the root folder as catch up?

Tippon,

Catch all

I set them both to watch my completed downloads folder, named Completed in my case. When they grab something, they put it in a sub folder of Completed, named either Sonarr or Radarr. If I put something that one of them is monitoring into the root Completed folder, it still gets picked up. This way, I don’t have to specify a sub folder for anything I download manually, it just goes in Completed and gets processed.

CmdrShepard, do piracy w Prowlarr question

Not familiar with SABnzbd but with torrents and searching from Prowlarr, these don’t get assigned the proper category in the download client meaning radarr/sonarr don’t ever see them. With QBittorrent, I can just assign the proper category after adding them, and then the *arrs take it from there.

WeAreAllOne,

So I might wanna play with the categories. Thank you I will try this.

rambos,

Yeah thats a solution. Just right-click torrents that came from prowlarr and move it to sonarr or radarr category.

Categories are made automatically when you create a torrent client in sonarr/radarr. They are also synced with qbittorrent

Madiator2011, do piracy w Prowlarr question

Prowler is just for searching stuff from indexers. So correct setup is search with Sonarr -> Sending request to prowler -> respond to Sonarr -> send to SAB -> Sonarr process downloaded file. Sonarr usually tags files with “sonarr” when sending to SAB :)

WeAreAllOne,

Thank you for your reply. I thought it is meant this way, BUT what I find frustrating is the search function in Sonarr as I cannot choose specific files to grab from the results but I have to choose one by one. In Prowlarr, there is a tick box on the left of the results so you just tick whatever and then grab and be done.

JasDawg,

Unfortunately, that is how the *arrs are meant to function. Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Readarr are meant to be set & forget. Prowlarr can be used for manual searching, and it is fairly good at it because it is a search aggregator, but if you manually search on Prowlarr, you have bypassed the *arrs and they will not see what you grab, because you necessarily haven’t told them that you’ve grabbed anything. I do not believe Prowlarr is capable of going the other direction, and Prowlarr should be used with the *arr suite because of category searching.

All that to say that, the *arr apps are functioning as intended, it is you that is not conforming to them.

I should also say, that you can search manually in the *arrs, but its fairly tedious.

No shade or anything, just informing.

WeAreAllOne,

Yup! All I have to setup now is bigger hard drives since I can’t stop downloading now…!

I’m trying to get the last few cards in the pokemon trading card game on switch, I’ve been cheating with the rewind feature which has made life slightly less painful but it seems to pre calculate your coin flips so not as powerful as it could be, also played some tabletop simulator and started doing dragon riding races in WoW as part of that event. It’s been a crazy year for releases so it’s nice having some downtime

Glad you like what we do. Some observations: there generally is no unpacking, we use an archiving system which enables users to play without populating their drives with the extracted files.

Also glad that you find them safe. We started including a scanning result from ClamAV (open source cross platfrom malware scanner) to each new torrent as well as instructions to scan it yourself. And a blake3 checksum for authenticity.

@iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee avatar

Wouldn’t using an additional virtual layer for storage affect performance during load/save and normal asset streaming? I guess this might work for older games, but for newer games I don’t see how performance won’t be hit.

forgotmyaccthxbye,

99% of the games tested are perfectly playable. In cases where its not we can relax the compression settings. And we use zstd which is super fast. Try for yourself and see.

FOSSFloss,

I obviously can’t verify if you are a jc141 member but I’ll believe it, I think it’s sicc that you’re adding an antivirus scan to the gamefiles and that the games don’t require extraction.
