  • Optus can barely make a regular 4G call at this point. The drop in call quality when routing between networks is absurd. The last 000 call we made was so bad that we had dropouts whist standing in the middle of a suburban footy oval.

    I’ve also found that it’s possible to completely break VoWifi so it will say it’s connected but fail to make or receive calls. Just enable 464XLAT on wifi and connect a Google Pixel to it.

    The Optus network is about 15 years behind the competition at this point.




  • I wonder if anyone ever wrote an update aggregator that would find all package managers, containers and git repos and whatnot and just do all of them.

    Some are a right pain to update, such as Nextcloud. Installing a monthly update should not feel like an enterprise prod deployment.

    It’s kinda ironic that package managers have caused the exact problem that they are supposed to solve.








  • Just start listening to dubstep and you’ll stop noticing 😆.

    Maybe run lm-sensors and make sure the CPU/GPU isn’t being thermothrottled? I’d usually look at dmesg and look for red stuff. Any hardware issues are usually pretty obvious.

    Try other apps. If you youtube or VLC behaves the same, the problem may be outside of jellyfin. If not, it narrows it down.

    If could even be the server not being able to transcode in realtime. Try watching a file known to already be in a suitable format. It should direct stream and be much less load on the server. I’ve seen server encode CPU saturation and it does kinda look the same as client decode stutter. If it’s the server, you’ll probably see the same stutter from another device such as a phone.
