  • Very very little. It’s a billion tiny little bits of text, and if you have image caching enabled, then all those thumbnails.

    My personal instance doesn’t cache images since I’m the only one using it (which means a cached image does nobody any good), and i use somewhere less than 20gb a month, though I don’t have entirely specific numbers, just before-lemmy and after-lemmy aggregates.










  • Gonna disagree here.

    Humans have always had “social media”, but it’s not been directed by a cadre of oligarchs until recently.

    I mean shit, humans have been sitting around the campfire telling stories to each other going all the fucking way back to forever. Sure, a campfire story isn’t a tweet, but for our monkey brains it’s essentially the same thing: how we interact with our social groups and learn what’s going on around us.

    The problem is that the campfire stories couldn’t be manipulated into making your cavemen neighbors hate the other half, because half of them were totally pro rabbit fur while you’re pro squirrel fur.

    You absolutely can do that and worse now, so while we’ve always had social media, we just simply never had anyone with enough control to make an entire society eat each other because of it’s influence.

    And millions of children cried out for their waifus.

    (This is good: I play and enjoy Genshin but they’re using every single psychological trick to get you to spend money to gamble and that kind of shameless shit shouldn’t be put in front of children who don’t have sufficient experience and developmental time to not get totally taken.)


  • I don’t disagree, but if it’s a case where the janky file problem ONLY appears in Jellyfin but not Plex, then, well, jank or not, that’s still Jellyfin doing something weird.

    No reason why Jellyfin would decide the French audio track should be played every 3rd episode, or that it should just pick a random subtitle track when Plex isn’t doing it on exactly the same files.


  • One thing I ran into, though it was a while ago, was that disk caching being on would trash performance for writes on removable media for me.

    The issue ended up being that the kernel would keep flushing the cache to disk, and while it was doing that none of your transfers are happening. So, it’d end up doubling or more the copy time because the write cache wasn’t actually helping removable drives.

    It might be worth remounting without any caching, if it’s on, and seeing if that fixes the mess.

    But, as I said, this has been a few years, so that may no longer be actively the case.
