IMU, GPU encoding is for streaming: it aims at fast, not so great, output quality without CPU usage. Exactly what you are getting.

Don’t use GPU encoding for storage… CPU encoding is much better.

Edit: since its aimed at streaming, GPU encoding only needs to achieve real time performance, no need to go any faster. CPU encoding instead can go as fast as your cores can push.

Than you for your very appreciated feedback. Feel free to DM/PM me for anything related.

I keep a wiki on all that I do.

This is the page on radicale: here

This is the more general page on reverse proxy here

And so on, Check the sidebar.

I mostly write it so that in future I remember what I did and how I did it, but I use some unusual techniques compared to the mainstream point of view from this community, so keep that in mind.

Gentoo linux with Radicale on bare metal. Radicale is behind NGINX reverse proxy that slaps HTTPS and authelia redirect for authentication on top.

And of course i use DAV5X on android.

Never had an issue with caldav and cardav. Maybe you are using broken servers or clients?

Even notes can be done efficiently on those standards…

But, hey, I am using only FOSS server and clients, maybe you referring to proprietary ones? You know, those who are mare by vendors who have no interest in interoperability?

Exactly! FWA… My typo ;)

Yes, my typo… FWA ;)

Crappy (30-40mbit/sec) but uncapped FTTC here, plus 5G FVA at 300mbit/sec but 1Tb monthly cap here.

Combining both and separating heavy traffic (fucking fortnite and many steam big games) on the crappy uncapoed, and arr’ing too, leaves tons of data for high speed anything.

Total cost? 22€ + 24€ = 46€/month, no surprises. A lot more expensive than having fiber indeed, but I am deep into the woods, so.

Ah, and when i go over my 1Tb data cap on the FVA, I get throttled to 6mbit/sec, nothing extra to pay.

I installed from fdroid, I expect it to be still available as far as it will work…

And I guess somebody will build and keep publishing it just not on google play, which is anyway a cesspool nowadays, so no big deal.

Ah, Linux from scratch…

Also, hardware was… Harder back then, on Linux (mostly modems).

Beside that, software wise there was less stuff on Linux than today, so you had to check carefully you had what you needed.

But I was already a Linux user, and a linux-only user at that.
