That sounds a lot like my favorite poster.
Excerpt:

Data
will help us remember, but will it let us forget? It will help politicians get elected, but will it help them lead? It will help companies make products addictive, but will it help us get free once we're hooked? It will help advertisers see people as statistics, but will it help us remember those statistics are people? It will help banks prevent credit card fraud, but will it help us stay out of debt? It will help credit card companies predict the impending collapse of a marriage, but will it keep our marriages from falling apart? It will help parents make kids genetically perfect, but will it help us love them regardless? It will help high-frequency traders sell stocks in nanoseconds, but will it help protect markets from feedback loops in their programs? It will help meteorologists predict storms and tornadoes, but will it help us rebuild the homes of survivors? It will help biologists map the migration of fish, but will it keep us from overfishing the oceans?
(...)
It will help us keep count of everything in our lives, but will it help us understand that not everything that counts in our lives can be counted? It will help us see the world as it is, but will it help us see the world as it could be?

I relaxed partly by focusing on (finally setting) up a uptime monitoring VM.
Because...why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Das Gimp UI ist schrecklich.
Der Arbeitsablauf ist gruselig
Die Funktionen sind nicht auf einem Level wie z.B. photopea.com

Not sure.
As cooking is like art anyway, I usually wing the amounts beyond the 2nd try.
Only on the 1st try I'll actually hardcore follow the recipe. For unusual large amounts I'll manually calculate.

Igitt Gimp.
Das kriegste 1. in weniger Klicks in Photoshop CS2 erledigt, 2. ist Gimp nicht gerade Einsteigerfreundlich (ohne Motivation wird das Programm nach 10min deinstalliert) 3. Nicht jeder kann Bildbearbeitung.

I am documenting my recipes in obsidian (which essentially is nothing else than mkdocs :p)

No no, you were basically chewed out.
And it grinds my gears if someone doesnt amswer the actual question and instead interprets it as something else and/or projects themselve on your position.

This is the age old problem you usually see on other pages like Stackoverflow.
Example:
OP: How can I do this thing?
Answer 1: This is stupid. Do this totally other thing. This will achieve what you want.

Answer 2: Marks post as duplicate and insults OP for using a Microsoft product

Optimal answer: You could do it this and this way.
But this amd that way is more optimal and achieves your goal faster.

Do you even know the goal of the trip?
Maybe only the destination is of importance

Probably image quality.
Afaik the transcode quality is NVENC > Intel > AMD

[–] Appoxo 1 points 1 week ago

Doing 2 4K-1080p 50kbit transcodes on my i5-1145G7. And that is an intel Iris Xe iGPU.
Dunno if others perform better but that's how this one performs with the lsio version of Jellyfin + openCL docker mod)
