I switched from Nova to Smart Launcher.

Missing a few things I liked but still super capable

How were you connected from the remote connection to Jellyfin server?

Will try again. Though not having stupid simple friend sharing is still a dealbreaker for me

I’ll have to do some perf tests to see if the client seems slower than others with small io/metadata.

But that has definitely always been the weakest area of networked storage - small, transactional workloads. Latency is the killer there, and there’s always going to be higher latency than local storage (although some of the super low latency expensive rdma stuff gets pretty close).

The way to mitigate that is to do copies that are multithreaded. Unfortunately most consumer file copiers out there are terrible at this. rclone definitely will do it but is CLI. Parallel rsync is also possible from CLI and works great but need utilities. I like Carbon Copy Cloner personally which at least kicks off 2 rsyncs

Edit: Apparently freefilesync will also do parallel copies and is at least GUI and somewhat user friendly. I haven’t tried it, though. Or at least not for a super long time.

Maybe there was one added since I last checked, or I’m just dumb. Good chance of the latter.

Edit: oh, 3rd-party clients? I had tried one but they wanted a fucking subscription fee

I do a lot of remote sharing with friends and unfortunately it’s not great for that.

Also the last time I checked it out the clients kinda sucked. Not even one for Apple TV

Oh, agreed. And other tech companies are 1000% counting on that being true.

I suspect the person you replied to was also calling them out for not reading the article but nevertheless having very strong opinions about it

The vast majority of the costs are HW and infra

I think they’re hoping that reaches more of a steady state

Lots of things work better, so I am not.

So far away that it takes an entire day to get the signal to it. The earth to the sun is 8 minutes.

And somehow we can still talk to it. It’s amazing.

I regularly get 100-200MByte/sec throughput to the Linux, Mac, and Synology SMB servers in my home

You’ll need to export each volume individually I would expect, are you saying you could only see one volume?

Ah, if it’s limited to Apple silicon maybe that’s why. Ive never noticed any particular speed problems on any of my Macs (2004 or so through 2019)

Geocaching!

but he’s not

OK, how about my surveillance cam? NAS appliance? My WiFi light controller? Network switch? They all run Linux.

Is it because of the massive,massive amount of corruption and bribery that has exploded over the last 2 years

Because that would make sense as why
