  • Subtitles force transcoding a lot of the time depending on playback situation and media. A lot of compatibility issues there - downloaded movies often will have the PGS subs from a bluray, anime can often have ass/ssa, ibx subs, etc plus they all tend to be embedded in the media (and in anime’s case often with extra fonts and attachments).

    all of these (basically anything but external srt) can interrupt direct playback depending on users Jellyfin client. Some have better sub support than others, android vs apple vs some esoteric client like webos all have their own niche weirdness. You need to search what the best option is for each users scenario. Like for my users that have apple devices checking this box in settings>playback allows direct streaming of a lot of content:

    But for “the problem show” what do logs say? How is it encoded? Quick sync can’t transcode everything. The older your processor the less it can do and niche formats it definitely can’t do at all. Like unless you have a real new cpu (13th or 14th gen) it’s not doing av1 or vp9 content and that’s still getting offloaded to cpu for transcoding. And if it’s some ogg vorbis thing or whatever it won’t work. And do logs verify igpu is being utilized for transcoding/mapped correctly? It can be a bit of a pain in the ass (unless they improved the process, it’s been a while since I’ve had to do it)


  • What is the client situation?

    The easiest fix is to find a client that can direct play all of your files and take transcoding out of the equation. Ugoos am6b+ as an example but if you don’t need Dolby vision there are cheaper options that are easier to configure with native jellyfin clients (instead of coreelec/kodi). Or if you need av1. But this needs to be done per user and costs money

    Alternatively what is your hardware? Do you have intel quick sync video? If so do you have hardware transcoding setup? Like if you have Jellyfin setup in a docker are you passing through the igpu to the container? And if you’ve done that have you set up the hardware transcoding in Jellyfin? What gen cpu and what kind of files?

    If you have the transcoding happening on the CPU and not the iGPU (assuming you don’t have a discrete gpu in a mini pc and frankly with quick sync you don’t need one unless your cpu is ancient, save the power usage) transcoding will crawl. But if you have quick sync video it should be fine with <4-5 users



  • Ahhh right right

    R/w would suggest media (especially if it’s the same sectors), but not necessarily that the drive is toast

    zpool status -v | grep “errors” may output files associated with bad blocks

    zpool status -v might just give you filenames though, worth it to try that first. It might just give object IDs tho and I forget what to do at that point. You have to map them to file paths but I don’t remember how to do this.

    If the errors are in different spots though totally different story. Back to sata I/o issues. Controller issues, kernel/driver issue, etc. technically could be the sata port but I seriously doubt it

    Anon presented this as an a/b change, not a conceptual moment. That is a person who found a framework for depersonalization to take its footing in, even if it’s presented in a silly manner. There is not a prerequisite that states it must be pervasive enough to be the point of “no alternative” to be valid, that is asinine


  • The physical connector? Like this thing:

    If it’s an issue with that you’d likely be able to straight up see it, bent or missing pin. Or check with a meter for shorts. And clean the pins I guess just in case they’re oxidized.

    But this is wayyyyy down the list. Is the same LBA bad every scrub? Then it’s the drive, probably. If not did you check the cable (most likely culprit), the sata controller would be next most likely, then port, then solder joints (which you’d have to redo to replace that port anyway so moot point I guess). Udma crc errors?

    If you do replace it you’d need to solder. I don’t know how to source that sata connector, that would be the hardest part. There is likely a part number on the actual sata port somewhere though it may not be visible until it’s removed (and even then it may not be available, may have been a custom part or it may be legacy at this point).

    The soldering is actually not that tough though if you can find one. Add flux, add leaded solder, hot air, remove, wick to clean pads, fresh solder to pads, more flux, hot air new one on (second tricky part - patience with temp low enough to not melt plastic but enough to melt solder, can be a pain for connectors like that)



  • “Business angle somewhere” you mean the entire supplement company, app with social media aspect, etc? A 1 month supply of his longevity pack is $420 plus shipping and includes such things as “elite olive oil” and “a mix of blueberries, macadamia nuts, and walnuts”

    This guy is kind of a grifter but on one hand he at least is authentic to his grift so I get what they’re saying. Like the conservatives that cause grindr to crash during Charlie Kirk’s funeral are just so frustrating but I truly believe this guy literally eats this shit day in and day out and actually does the vampire shit. I don’t think it’ll work, if he does live longer I think it will be because he’s fucking rich as shit and that seems to be real beneficial to outcomes as you have access to excellent medical care including preventative care and the ability to be like “oh something’s bothering me, I need to push that meeting to get this looked at” and get a Dr immediately whereas us peons can’t get a Dr appt for 4 months and when we can it conflicts with work


  • What drugs? Pregnant women can’t take NSAIDs, especially in the second and third trimesters. they are definitively linked to pregnancy complications and are only rarely used if the benefits outweigh the risks

    If there is a risk with Tylenol (there probably isn’t but there’s some conflicting evidence though some of the supporting evidence has some baggage - the Harvard study in particular having a pretty notable financial conflict of interest) the risk is likely greatly outweighed by not taking Tylenol, as maternal pain and uncontrolled fever are definitely linked to birth defects

    It’s an issue because if it is true then the evidence needs to be much more significant. If it is not true then they are scaring the layperson into a standard of care that is going to result in significantly worse outcomes because they followed the advice of the government. You may be like “oh that’s stupid, I’m gonna take Tylenol” but I guarantee you there’s a bunch of pregnant women right now that are in pain, that have a fever of 100F, etc who are risking neurological and other birth defects





  • There are many prescription versions of supplements but they’re often rarely prescribed because of cost unless there is a specific need. Prescription meds are actually regulated though (supplements are not regulated in any way) so they are superior, albeit far more costly. But because supplements are unregulated there is no way to be sure the advertised dosage is correct, or the advertised compound is even present (though some manufacturers do independent testing tbf)

    Take vitamin d for example. Most Americans (and most people in the world, tbh) are deficient. But your doctor will likely tell you to just get vitamin d supplements even though prescription cholecalciferol exists. That is typically only used for serious deficiencies, like if you need 50,000iu weekly. But it is manufactured in more traditional dosages like 1-2000iu for daily use.

    But in America for a great deal of people who are either uninsured, underinsured, or even with decent insurance cholecalciferol will almost always be significantly more expensive than simply buying a supplement vitamin d3, so the supplement is recommended. And this is one of the cheapest possible examples. Deplin vs levomefolic acid for example is much more dramatic of a price difference


  • Again, I think Tylenol is ultimately safe but I think it’s silly to hand wave entire well constructed papers based on the nothing you’ve presented (other than appeal to authority, which is meaningless, because this is an anonymous forum. I can literally say that I’m osterholm and you should listen to me (I’m not though)).

    The debate is there, you’re clearly on the dissent side. Great, but at least substantiate your views

    This is bad reasoning. For one the mt Sinai meta is not poorly structured. For two there’s not exactly an “overwhelming number” of contrary studies. For three there’s a number of studies besides the mt Sinai study. You dismiss the meta on lack of merit without actually examining it and place it against fantastical papers (that may or may not exist, and as mentioned the quantity of which is being exaggerated)

    In addition to the mt Sinai paper 2 other similar papers came out in 2025 (one from Harvard, one from environmental health) showing a link. There’s also the danish birth study which showed a link between Tylenol and a specific presentation of autism (hyperkinetic symptoms, closer to adhd).

    Papers to the contrary aren’t necessarily “overwhelming” either, there’s 3-4 metas recently that show no causal link and the big one is the Swedish birth study I referenced in the initial post. But that’s countered by the above metas and the danish birth study.

    Therein lies the issue and why it’s a point of debate. RFK is wrong to do what he is doing because the data is not strong enough to make the bold claim that he is making. He is a charlatan and likely scamming somehow (perhaps to sell folinic acid, which also has spurious data for efficacy). However, on the same point to reject the potential of Tylenols impact entirely because RFK is interested in it as a potential causal factor is equally foolish. It could be a factor. We don’t know yet. It needs more exploration. This could increase funding to explore it potentially (which could be a total waste of time).

    IMO you should probably listen to the mt Sinai paper, which recommends that you take Tylenol if necessary during pregnancy as “untreated maternal fever and pain pose risks such as neural tube defects and preterm birth” and ultimately recommends a balanced approach limiting Tylenol exposure, eg try not to take tons of it
