Is there any software I can put on my Debian server that would stream video like plex except without downcoding it or losing any quality? I would be watching on a low spec device with a fast internet connection so I was wondering if it would be possible to do server-side decoding/processing? Thanks in advance.
Your question is pretty confusing.
> low spec device
What does that mean? Most devices have dedicated H.264 decoders.
> server-side decoding/processing
What decoding/processing?
You said...
> without downcoding it
You could just export the files via a web server and open the URL with a media player on your low spec device.
Plex has quality settings.

This is what happens when someone who doesn't understand technology and/or doesn't know the proper nomenclature, but thinks they do, asks questions... they get really confusing fast.
Also, this >>58475750
OP, Plex will only transcode to a lower quality server side if the device can't handle the original stream. The transcoding process that Plex uses to stream simultaneously is a pretty standard setup. If it transcodes, the device doesn't have the ability in the first place to play the original (either because of no dedicated H.264 decoder, or network connection speed), then there is nothing you're going to gain by trying to force it. If it's not good quality, try getting a faster device/connection (because it's clearly shit and there's no amount of tweaking to make it better).
Good luck.
Is there a way to get my browser to remember my preference for the page theme on 4chan?
It should do that by default. Did you set it to forget cookies?

You haven't failed me in tech recommendations yet! Good routers for $100? Online reviews are pretty bad for everything. Must be because plebs can't connect them properly.
pic related: was my choice till I read reviews..
Xiaomi, my friend.

TP Link
Or find a used Archer C3150. I just bought one, its fucking amazing, but a bit over $200
$100 is basically the cut off point between low end and mid-range.
$130-150 gets you a LOT more than $80-100.
That being said, the Asus RT-N66U with Tomato is my personal choice for under $100.
Is it safe/recommended to enable all ram usage?
>enable all ram
Through msconfig? there is a default cap. i have 8 gb and am only using 4 but i can max out the ram usage. is there any reason not to?

Put the RAM in your oven at 225'C for 3min.

It's the future. The future they chose.
>>58472892
But chinkphones actually get good battery life?
My zuk z2 pro gets around 8 hours SoT, a redmi 4a gets around 12 hours, the redmi note 3 pro gets around 9 hours, zuk z2 gets 7-8 hours, k6000 pro gets ~13 hours, k10000 gets up to 40 hours.
If you don't like phones being sold local, there's plenty options from china. Unless you're living in the US.
Nostalgic contrarians that won't shut the fuck up about flat design and want to go back to tacky-ass 2000s garbage that ages like shit because it's familiar and reminds them of their childhood.

Going to buy something very similar to this after having saved up for only a couple of months, glad to be finally ditching my e8200+HD5770.
Why do people bitch about 4k being so expensive? Yeah, it costs a bit more, but you can save up for it easily and just buy what you want.
Are there really so many unemployed people on /g/? It must suck not being able to afford a good computer...
>>58472888
I think you are being to simplistic.
I dont know your situation, but when you get used to not buying and doing things you can exist without spending much money.
I'd imagine people with debt, kids, cars, a house, food bills, and a load of random expenses might find it a bit more difficult if they arent making enough to have disposable income to throw at a hobby.
Im a Neet that saves gift cards and about to complete a $1200 computer, because I have the time to look up 10,000 reviews and wait for deals and no other expenses.
>It must suck not being able to afford a good computer
in this instance its all relative.
>>58472888
>It must suck not being able to afford a good computer...
It only took you a few months to go from unemployed NEET to raging moron? What the fuck was your excuse for the previous years you were a NEET?
>>58473144
Even if you only put away $50 a fortnight from your pay, that's 2600 dollars over 2 years.
50 dollars is nothing. Buy cheaper coffee, don't impulse buy, don't smoke, etc.
With 2600 AUD that's pretty much the same system as in the op but with an i7 instead of the i5. Or an SDD + HDD.
I'm desperate

So /g/, serious question
I have a crap laptop with Core 2 Duo and a 2GB of RAM. I'm not planning to upgrade anything in it. Is there a real life benefit of going with amd64 Linux instead of i386?
i386 seems like a better choice since I won't be using more than 4GB of RAM and I wouldn't have to mess with having libs for both amd64 and i386.
>>58472785
386 is definitely better in your case; just go with it. There will be literally no benefits to x86_64 unless you're using non-open-source software from retards who only provide a 64-bit binary (and I don't recall having ever seen this outside of Windows).
Also, 64-bit actually wastes a small amount of RAM over 32-bit, so there's actually a reason *not* to use it.
>>58472785
>>58472854
>retards
64-bit is slightly faster as it pages 64 bits not 32 bits at once, using a 32-bit OS will need to do it twice instead of once
>>58472785
If you processor supports 64 bit there is not reason not to use 64bit software. It has performance boosts. Only if you depend on some older software and you must stay on 32bit.
The fucking only reason the iPhone 7 beats Android phones in speed tests in gayms.
Android handles all lightweight shit 10x better.
And those lightweight apps are the apps you actually use several times a day.

Does anyone still make good 17 inch laptops ?
I have a 17" late 2011 macbook pro that's lasted me pretty well but at some point in the future im gonna want to upgrade and as far as I can tell only the P70 thinkpad's are worth it.
Any anons know of any good ones ?
>>58472570
2014 MBP, they don't make good laptops anymore
I have an hp envy 17 for work, not bad.
Sell your Macbook for $800-$1000. There aren't any decent 17" laptops left, but a Retina Macbook will allow you to use 1920x1200.
