I'm looking to buy a (most likely) RTL based USB DVB-T2 receiver. Got an old antenna on the roof I haven't used in a while.

Okay, I've been seeing quite a lot of articles regarding internet TV. Can I get one for setting up local TV with a USB tuner using my old rooftop antenna instead?

Also not a distro.

I got Linux Lite, which I've tried in the past.

nouveau driver heat issue, anyone? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Not looking for a solution, really. Ended up installing proprietary nvidia driver because I need the machine for my job. Just wondering if anyone have similar experience.

I have a Thinkpad W530 with K1000M running Linux Mint I am using for work. Was using nvidia driver v390, life was good.

Then came LMDE 6. I was thrilled to have Debian 12 instead of Ubuntu 22.04 as the base, so I decided to take the leap.

Everything went well except for the nouveau driver, which I found to be sub-optimal, particularly with the thermal management.

After the upgrade, the machine became scalding hot especially around the heatsink area. When doing video call, the audio is choppy. It sometimes gets so hot that it restarts itself as I was using it. Almost everytime I leave the laptop on overnight, I'd find the desktop clean even though I left things open, showing it's been restarted.

I've only just installed nvidia-tesla-470-driver, so maybe it's too soon to tell. However, the machine is not scalding hot anymore.

Anyone had something like this?

Publishing New Torrents (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi all!

I'm working on re-encoding a bunch of TV shows from H264 to H265 as well as making the metadata more uniform (especially between seasons).

As I've completed a couple of shows, I would like to possibly give back to the community by shareing it so that more people could benefit from it.

What would be the best way for this? Since I download most of it from torrent, I am thinking of having it on torrent as well. How to make sure it gets the exposure it needs (i.e. seeding)?

online metadata collection for tv series (sh.itjust.works)

I'm just trying to clean up my library of TV series, making my content more uniform. After I was done with the major stuff (resolution, codec, subtitle), I am now into the details.

One of the thing that bugs me is that some of them have chapter times while others don't. I could just remove chapter data from them all, but I want to see if having them is a viable option.

Last time, I had to download the same stuff uploaded by different people in order to extract the metadata. This works, but requires me to download more stuff (they're not small...).

I was wondering if there's like an online library for pirated movie/TV series metadata like we do for subtitles.

Thanks in advance!

Seems quite promising! I heard it could use more maturing.
