  • Man, early Final Space had some rough points, but there’s not a lot of shows out there that have hit me harder.

    Olan Rogers (Final Space Creator) has never really felt like a guy who I would expect to hit a deadline… but the Graphic Novel he got going to finish out the series is supposed to finally drop pretty soon. Was supposed to drop awhile back (Summer 2024?), but it does look mostly complete now judging from progress reports. Like, we’re waiting on them to finish the soundtrack for the graphic novel? Olan is doing something weird, but man I’m willing to give it a shot.








  • I’ve been using Technitium for about 3 years and I’m with you.

    Whenever I think I get it, I search for the solution to a problem I’m having and see the developer respond and feel like I get less than half the things in the explanation. My setup definitely works and it has never failed me… but there are a lot of things where I don’t understand why at all and yeah I am also using maybe 10% of the options available. I’m not sure I’ll ever get past the intimidating phase.


  • Even just maybe… gaseous oxygen could be interesting.

    How big would the drop in atmospheric pressure actually be at ground level? I don’t know how to calculate that beyond… feels like lower than 20%, but could whatever number still be enough to induce barotrauma? How do we apply that potential change in atmospheric pressure to the ocean and tides, and how bad is that sudden shift, massive tsunamis or just slightly higher tides? I feel like a lot of measuring equipment would be fucked for a bit, how bad could it be if every altimeter/barometer/etc was unreliable for 5 seconds? Effect on contained systems feels more predictable, I know nitrogen inflation is a thing you can get in some places, but most are just air, feels like a 20% drop in tire pressure worldwide for 5 seconds is going to have to cause a spike in road accidents.

    Would the increased radiation be enough to create a global sterilizing affect for important bacteria/etc and what’s the worst that could happen there?

    What happens if every combustion engine in use stops working for 5 seconds? How much does that affect power plants/our energy infrastructure?

    There’s lot of industrial applications, I know that welding and steel production can require pure oxygen. Medical and research applications too. How bad is it if the oxygen supply on all of those worldwide fails suddenly?








  • Are you trying to serve higher than 1080p? I have heard that 4k can be rough, but I avoid that personally because it also dramatically limits the amount of media I can store. Not sure of your actual bandwidth, but the raw bandwidth required on regular 1080p streams should be relatively light while utilizing modern codecs and you can also limit the per-stream bandwidth in your remote access settings.

    I’m in the US, but I have pretty shit upstream bandwidth and I’ve served 7 people at once before. It pushed it a bit, but plex managed it. If you are doing 4k content though, yeah, that’s going to be rough with anything and I have no good advice.


  • There are some cluster based experiments with Plex, but they’re mostly focused on distributing transcoding. There’s also a lot of projects around clustering locally with kubernetes/etc but I think that would be painful with your setup. Closest option I can think of is jellyswarrm with multiple discrete servers ‘swarmed’ together, this is also super beta and very new. You’d have to combine it with something to move files between the local servers, it’s going to be weird.

    Why do you feel like you need more than one media server? A singular server can serve quite a lot of content for a good sized quantity of people.
