Do you prefer x264 or 265 HEVC?

Since having a device that can natively watch x265 I only get that format now. I’m not sure of the quality is better vs x264 but for TV shows the disk space reduction makes up for any quality loss. Movies might be different and it depends on the film but I’m still only getting 1080p rips so again maybe the quality is that important compared to 4K?

2023 Austrian Grand Prix - Post-Race Discussion

I’m glad Perez didn’t get driver of the day. Guy seems to bin it in quali then comes through the pack in the fastest car and every praises him for his comeback drive. Dude should be challenging his team mate like Rosberg and Hamilton when the Mercedes was dominating like this Red Bull is.

Instead Max is just on a different level. Pulling a massive gap in such a short track. Lapping 1 sec faster the Charles is just insane pace.

Looking past Max the race was pretty decent. Battles down the pack which is always good. Looking forward to the fight between Ferrari, Merc, Aston and now McLaren in the upcoming races.

2023 British GP [QUALIFYING] discussion thread

Perez’s saving grace is that he is in the fast car and can come back through the pack to reclaim some points or a podium.

Luckily for RB Max is winning all championships on his own so whilst not great it’s not terrible.

If his race performances were off too he would have been gone before now. RB dropped Gasly and Albon for less however more was at stake then when they were not smashing everyone else.

People need to stop voting him driver of the day though.

Pumped for McLaren. Loved Zak’s reaction in the garage.

F1TV now blocking VPN access

F

Being Uk based and refusing to pay for sky I subbed to F1TV and have been watching races via VPN. Whilst I know it was against TOS it's still shit to loose access to live races on my Apple TV of iPad.

It was painful watching live streams full of adverts or especially as I tend to use an iPad and not a computer browser.

Annoying change.

Is it possible to set up 2FA on my self-hosted services?

Some systems support MFA eg vaultwarden. For that I use the built in MFA with Yubikeys.

For things that are not MFA supported but I need them to be open I put them behind Authelia and Nginx Proxy Manager.

Authelia config makes sense now. It was confusing at first however the custom config required on NPM still confuses me.

Anything else stays off the internet and I can access via vpn back into my LAN.

From the Beyond the Grid pod with James Vowles he was saying the team has significant funding behind it. Issue is the money is being spent on the facilities and being the processes and systems up to date.

I’m hoping Albon can stay. He fits the team nicely I think.
