TIL #AMD has #GPU (s) that have no hardware encoding capabilities whatsoever, i.e. their #RX6400. Yikes? Be careful when buying GPUs from AMD, I suppose.

It's one thing when people compare AMD GPUs with #NVIDIA's saying AMD's encoding prowess is inferior vs something like #NVENC, but to literally be unable to hardware transcode H264, HEVC, etc. as a modern GPU is insanely hilarious seeing that it's something even ancient GPUs and even iGPUs are capable of.

AMD CPUs? Solid, my last #Intel CPU was literally 7th gen - have gone through at least ~5 CPU upgrades since then. AMD GPUs? Stayed away from them and will continue to do so, even as a #Linux user. NVIDIA GPUs have been perfectly fine for me on #X11 before, and is perfectly usable (+ continually improving) on #Wayland now - Intel Arc GPUs are also affordable and perfect for my #homelab/servers.

Done this with the #AMD 5600G's iGPU, now testing #Jellyfin hardware transcoding with my #Intel #ArcA380 GPU - one question though, is it normal for CPU usage to be rather high at least in the early parts of streaming (while transcoding), even with hardware transcoding?

I'm just trying to figure out if it is actually hardware transcoding - I'm assuming it is, bcos on the admin dashboard I'm seeing that it's transcoding as AV1 and I'm sure my Ryzen 7 1700 would not be able to do/handle that, esp considering that I'm testing with 4 streams playing concurrently? but the CPU usage is rather high the first minute or two or more from when the stream starts, it does lower down afterwards - the video playback is perfectly fine, no stuttering or anything like that.

My method of passthrough is the same as I did with the 5600G, that is a simple passthrough to the #LXC container, then to the #Docker container running Jellyfin. I don't think I noticed this high CPU usage when testing the 5600G, and the only minor configuration difference between the two was I'd used #VAAPI with the 5600G and disabled #AV1 encoding (since idt it supports it), while on the Arc A380 GPU I'm using Intel's #QSV and have enabled AV1 encoding.

Am I correct to assume that hardware transcoding is indeed working? Cos again, I'm quite certain my Ryzen 7 1700 would definitely NOT be able to handle this lol esp since I only give the LXC container 2 cores.

Screenshot of a terminal window showing htop on the top half, and docker logs at the bottom. Htop shows high CPU usage running multiple ffmpeg processes.
Playback info message on Jellyfin admin dashboard of one of the 4 streaming sessions, saying that it's 'Transcoding', and that 'The media is being converted into a format that is compatible with the device that is playing the media.' The format its transcoding seems to be '420 Kbps MP4 AV1 AAC'. The reason it gave for transcoding says, 'The number of audio channels is not supported. The video's bitrate exceeds the limit'.

Apple: Kaikki Intel-pohjaiset Mac-tietokoneet ovat nyt virallisesti vanhentuneita

Vanhtentuneeksi (obsolete) luokittelu tarkoittaa sitä, että tuotteelle ei enää ole tarjolla virallisia huoltopalveluita eikä varaosien saatavuutta enää taata.

Viimeisenä Intel-Maccina vanhentuneeksi siirrettiin vuonna 2018 julkaistu Mac Mini.

ok ive to go now but the plan once i return ~2 hrs later is to dig thru my pendrives and use 1 to backup my current bios settings, use another to load up the latest stable bios version, take pics of my current bios settings, upgrade to the latest bios version, and then lastly to re-configure bios as close as possible to my current settings.

fingers crossed, my #Proxmox node would still be fine and hopefully, the ReBAR option would show up on my BIOS, cos rn on BIOS v4.6 (2020), it's not (even with CSM disabled, above 4G decoding enabled). My server hardware: #AMD Ryzen 7 1700, #ASRock B450M Pro4 #motherboard, and #Intel #ArcA380 #GPU.

I've installed my #Intel #ArcA380 GPU on my #Proxmox node and... I'm having a hard time configuring the #ASRock #BIOS bcos for wtv reason, it's not outputting the full screen to my test monitor, so I can't really see the full list of options and menus I'd like to configure to enable ReBAR and so on. I've never experienced this before so.. what gives?

---

Edit: Just switched to another, more 'modern' monitor and it works fine.

Late last year, the #Dell laptop (Inspiron 15 5405) I bought, broke. I had gotten it very cheap second hand (£250) and it was the best CPU I've ever had (#AMD Ryzen 5 4500U) attached to the worst chassis man has ever made; I can only describe the computer as having been designed by people who never used it, or even saw one assembled. The metal hinge bracket smashed the display due to the flimsy plastic screen housing. The second M.2 slot is physically unusable(!) because the speaker molding is too close for even the smallest M.2 board (2230?)

I've been limited to a netbook for the last few months and it's been hard work. 1GHz + 4GB RAM is hell when you're trying to do anything creative and switching to Linux in the process.

I've just ordered a new laptop, this time a Thinkpad T14s Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U / 16GB RAM. I would have been overjoyed just to stick with another 4500U as all my previous laptops were #Intel and performance was just utterly miserable, especially with games and I say that as someone who only plays games older than 2010!

The moral of this story is never buy a Dell, no matter how good the price!

After fighting with my Intel AX210 wireless card for a few days, I finally found the culprit. It was the card's `power_state` going into `D3cold` and then failing to reinitialize again. Here's a short post about the problem and the solution:
