  • Having a GPU is nice if you start letting other people access your Jellyfin server; transcoding for some video files can be tough on the CPU, and if it’s trying to do more than one at a time, stuff can get laggy. But unfortunately, trying to get my ancient GPUs to do anything has been a nightmare! Besides the architecture itself being old, it seemed as though Nvidia deprecated some of the features I needed on the official drivers, and the Nouveau docs have been a headache to sort through. I think, maybe, probably, it’s technically possible, but I’m burned out on messing with it at the moment.

    That 970 might be recent enough to work with a little less hassle though!






  • Yeah, there are plenty of Jedi who can beat Anakin, but I think if you normalize for experience, he was easily the strongest of any of his peers. He should have seen being allowed to sit in on the council at his age as an enormous honor. But of course, he’s the egotist supreme, and he had unwise words being whispered in his ear.

    Also, in the fight with Dooku, it seems likely to me that Palpatine somehow invisibly sabotaged him once Obi-Wan was down. Palps wanted that to end with both Dooku AND Obi-Wan dead.

    Tap for spoiler

    I mean the truth is the movies are just poorly written and wildly inconsistent, but whatever lol



  • I mean, honestly, it actually might be. It’s certainly more or less how evolution did it. We’re basically programmed to have genetic drifts if the population gets too low, making more likely for the reproducing population to find a new niche. So while it would be hilariously immoral, and also probably produce A LOT more of the worst minds, you produce enough genetic freaks and eventually one of em is gonna be a megagenius
