if its possible to have Jellyfin read the name via a sub folder such as Movies/LinusISO/

It's possible. Just make a LinuxISO (Year) folder in your movies directory and it'll pick up the movie file within, regardless of name.

Naming only matters within folders if you have multiple versions.

For example, I'm incredibly confused about how you're supposedly to measure liquid laundry detergent with the cap. At least the kind that I have sits on it's side, so if you measure it with the cap it just leaks everywhere and makes a mess.

After pouring the detergent into the appropriate receptacle, toss the cap in with your laundry to be washed like everything else. No mess.

Yay for team blank screen... I think?

The entire basis for this is the assumption that goods are being transported using fossil fuels.

I prefer only testicles in my testicles.

To that end, I propose a new packaging system!

Libby is able to sync with your kindle, and then you just choose "send to Kindle" on your phone when checking a book out and the book will appear in your Kindle library.

If you have a Kindle, this is 100% the best way to read books.

.com is $15/yr for most domains, .place is $22/yr for renewals. Not sure where you're shopping or if you're eyeing some sort of premium domain, but generally it's cheaper.

I have both, a domain on "new" TLD (like .place) that is my main but has hiccups on certain websites, and a cheap .com that I have tied to SimpleLogin for generating per-site throwaway addresses. This setup works great for me.

Talk about putting your money where your mouth is- good to see them implementing this technology!

I assume that's why there's a 95% rejection rate, they're just fumbling to find any mechanics that haven't already been used in other games.

I meant visually web vs disc. To me, a 4k 15 Mbps web-DL is visually 99% as good as a 60+Mbps UHD BR remux.

Web-DL may not be how I want to watch something like Interstellar (shot on 70mm film) but is probably fine for something like 7 Fast 9 Furious Tokyo Zoom Zoom (shot on Vin Diesel's iPhone, probably)

Is the h264 or x264 part of the name the bitrate?

No, that's the encoding algorithm, aka codec. As another person pointed out, AVC/h264/x264 (all different names for what is effectively the same thing) is a lot easier to process than HEVC/h265/x265 (again, different names, same end result).

Bitrate is just the overall file size divided by the movie duration, basically indicating how compressed the movie is, with compression coming at the loss of finer details. You can generally gauge bitrate based on file size. A 5000 Mb file that is 1000 s long is, on average, 5000/1000=5 Mbps.

Since you're very clearly not picky, you're probably best off going for 720p or 1080p content with small file sizes (1-5 GB / movie). Feel free to download smaller though, if it doesn't impact your experience, just make a mental note if you ever find anything that is too small for you to tolerate, and set your minimum file size somewhere above that.

Based on your criteria, you probably want to steer clear of terms like Atmos, TrueHD, DTS-MA, and DTS-X. These are all terms for different flavors of totally uncompressed audio, which alone can be up to 5GB of unnecessary (for you) added disc space for a given movie. Instead you want compressed audio like DDP, AAC, or AC3

DivX/XVID are really old video codecs, kinda like x264. I wouldn't fuck with them even with your preferences unless you have no other choice, given your average potato nowadays can handle x264.

TL;DR, based on your preferences, look for / avoid these terms, but know not all files have all of the same fields identified:

GOOD

Video

AVC/h264/x264

720p or 1080p

8-bit (you'll want this over 10-bit, if specified)

Audio

DDP, AAC, or AC3

Overall

1-5 GB file size / movie

MEH

Video

DivX/XVID

Overall

Be mindful of files smaller than 1 GB / movie, they may be fine for you but this is where you can really start to see some gnarly banding

AVOID

Video

HEVC/h265/x265 or VC1

2160p

HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, DoVi, or DV (not mentioned earlier but these need special, more modern, displays)

Audio

Atmos, TrueHD, DTS-MA, and DTS-X

Overall

Really large or comically small files.

Pretty much the only thing I think AI could be useful for - forecasting the weather based off tracking massive amounts of data. I look forward to seeing how this particular field of study is improved.

Bonus points, AI weather modeling, for once, saves energy relative to physics models. Pair it with some sort of light weight physical model to keep the hallucinations at bay, and you've got a good combo.

 

I'm very interested to see how countries like Pakistan can lead the way in the clean energy revolution out of a necessity for cheap electricity rather than a desire for clean power.

Their electric grid and economy is such that they can optimize around solar rather than trying to force solar to fit into their existing system. Necessity is the mother of invention, and places like Pakistan will probably be able to teach us all a thing or two about how to develop economies around the Sun.

 

The main culprit, according to the report, is unsustainable agricultural practices, which are responsible for 80% of forest loss. These techniques, which include heavy use of chemical inputs, pesticides and water diversion, also erode soil, diminish water supplies and contaminate ecosystems.
