Setting up my dev environment took a while and some troubleshooting.

The last issue that I can’t seem to solve is streaming 4k videos in 265 encoding from my cheap network drive. I have all the codecs, and tried multiple different players, messed with vlc setting, no luck. Audio out of sync, or no video, or stuttering, or refusing to play at all.

I can access those videos on my phone and even stream them to my Chromecast, so there’s no reason it should not work on linux laptops.

Moved my three laptops to Ubuntu, Mint and Zorrin. A week later I’m still dealing with issues setting them up.

Ngl, the move is more frustrating than linux nerds would have you believe. But a necessary move and I don’t regret it.

Before YouTube, people used to share knowledge of how to do shit with computers/electronics/everything on forums. I still go and find info on those forums more often than on YouTube. Nothing would be lost is perhaps a slight over exaggeration, but not a hyperbole. I can’t remember the last time I used YouTube for anything else but entertainment.

No knowledge would be lost. Books exist, other video platforms exist too. Fuck YT, fuck Google, hope they die soon.

Tldr; they’re doing “nothing”
