I found this article (and related site) from a quick search: https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/what-is-a-cryptocurrency

Binance has a vested interest in providing accurate information, they are a major exchange. The information seemed easy to understand and correct at a first glance, they also link to supporting articles.

It sounds like you are having trouble with tonemapping HDR to SDR on the fly. This is a non-trivial task, but not impossible. Both mpv and ffmpeg (which plex and jellyfin use) are capable of this. If you install mpv, it will by default do the tonemapping, you can enable/disable this or force use of a particular algorithm if you like.

To answer your question: Plex has been pretty shitty for years now, and it’s only getting worse. They just don’t care for their user base.

ETA: Jellyfin also already does what you want, I think?

Fira Code and Caskaydia Cove Nerd Font for monospace. For other uses, I’m usually good with whatever the system ships with.

Maybe this will be of use?

Second this. Mailcow very easy to setup, though the docs could use improvement. This might have changed already.

That said, I found it easier to pay for a domain and email service where they worry about reputation and random microsoft blacklists.

Gitlab uses a ton of resources and is a pain to setup. Once you get it going, it’s fine.

Going to echo what others have said: Use Gitea or Forgejo instead if you can. Both have runners you can setup like gitlab, but they instead mimic github actions instead of gitlab ci/cd.

I run a semi-private gitea instance, and have not had any problems past the initial setup in 2+ years.

Media server client, pihole, emulation, programming or home automation project. You could even prop it up as a standalone web server and make some kinda creative thing.

I think the error is quite verbose and tells you everything you need to know.

Generally, do not install packages outside of a virtual environment unless you know what you’re doing. Given the option, use your package manager version of the same package. Outside of that, use your python environment manager of choice to install stuff. There are lots of options: conda, uv, venv, virtualenv, pipenv, etc.

The error exists to warn you that you could potentially break critical system installed packages by installing other things at a user or system level with pip.

You might consider trying Miniconda, a version of Anaconda. It installs a local python environment of your choosing at a user level. https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/

It’s feasible as long as all the stuff you want to auth supports oauth, oidc, or saml. It might be a bit overkill for your use case, unless you have a bunch of services you didn’t mention. Keycloak has a bit of a learning curve, but works great once you get past that.

This is my personal strategy, works pretty well:

• Grab a repack from fitgirl /dodi / kaoscrew via torrent when possible. Use the official sites.
• Check gog-games, if it’s available without drm
• Check rin (Steam Underground) if it’s not too large
• Grab from GGn or whatever other private tracker might have it.
• Get straight scene release, if available, as last resort.

This covers probably 99% of PC games, emulators are a different story.

As for getting started, grab 7z (an archiving utility) and know how to mount an ISO. Stay safe, don’t download from sketchy sites. Since you are dealing with executables, some things will look (and act) like viruses, use your best judgement.
