Is F.lux and (other related programs/apps) placebo?
>>51745652
my eyes burn after a typical day when i turn flux off. it isn't placebo.
>>51745652
How can altering the color temperature be considered placebo? It's been known for decades that eyestrain is better with lower frequency wavelengths.

No.

Hi /g/.
I'm looking to build a small, very quiet plex server that will be capable of streaming @ upto 1080p for 3 people at once.
How does this look? What n00b errors have I made? What could I do to save on the budget?

Just get three Apple TVs. Would save you money.
I also want to be able to stream my own media collection when I'm out and about.

that i7 is fine. i'm worried about cooling though. make sure that cooler can handle that i7. also, you may want to keep your os on a separate drive. in case your os fucks up or media corrupts everything, you don't want to lose all of your shit. i am currently running my plex server off an hp ex485, win7 is on a usb stick which keeps my 4 drive bays exclusively for storage.
What encoder do you guys use on a regular basis for audio? I'm using FLAC for archival or creation of new files and was using AAC @ 128kbps for my phone audio. But have since switched to a different platform and find MP3 more compatible with my phone (Moto G2015, AAC was working just every once in a while it would skip). Now I'm at V2 MP3.
I have a 32gb card in it so storage isn't a big deal, only have like 1000 songs on here at any given time. I'm finding the MP3 files have a slightly more defined bass section but it could be in my head.
So...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>using MP3 in 2015
I use 128 vbr Opus with a complexity of 10. It sounds better than AAC and MP3 at the same bitrate imho.a

The 90's called, it wants its audio codec back.

I just did the move myself. Looks fantastic for almost everything, especially doing research. Just never look at the desktop and it will be fine

Recommended monitors anyone?
Slackware master race reporting in.
Yeah, both of us are here.
I wonder if the switch most other major distros made to systemd had some positive effect on Slackwares market share.
>>51745585
Doesn't sw use systemmd now?
I love Slackware and I find it annoying to use any other distro on my PC
I wish it didn't rely so heavily on KDE to supply its standard GUI applications (e.g. torrents) though.

Jewberg is starting up a "charity" in which he will "donate" 99% of his networth (shares) he will register the company as an LLC and sell his shares dodging taxes and keeping the other investors from noticing the sky is falling.
What a fucking piece of garbage. He cant sell a large amount of his stocks without everyone losing faith in the company and then selling theirs. So he is selling the stocks for his charity, an LLC registered charity where he has 100% control over how/where the money is spent.
SO WHAT

I'd consider it if the bottom hem is also gray and has task bar icons on it.

Tell me about PIA VPN. I've been caught torrenting movies by Verizon and warned once. I want to download a bunch of FLACs tommorrow as well as recent movie rips and not have to live in fear.
Does it actually werk?
>land of the free
>>51744429
Yes. I have been using it for a little over a year now. I only run it when torrenting though I will say the hit to me speed is virtually negligible. Easy to use, fast, cheap. No copyright notices.
Anyone
