Backblaze b2 and rsync.net (which shouldn’t be a problem for rclone)

Neither is sketchy in the slightest and run solid services with many options.

Have you isolated source formats? Does it do this with h264 and hevc?

Tried stopping other containers and/or all other services? Could have less to do with pure power and more with sheer volume (scheduling.)

Any issues if you use the current server as a file server and play the video on another machine? Any modifications to playback speed?

If none of that works you might try iperf3 to check network speeds. Or fio for disk speeds. Run tests covering all kinds of situations, you’re not so much looking for max speeds but instead for inconsistencies.

Don’t get too lost in the small stuff. Isolate systems. Might even move or clone the boot drive to another machine as a test. Try a different switch. That kind of thing.

Good luck!

Doesn’t the article indicate the difference had to do with utilization of e-cores? Since the newer Apple silicon has more e-cores and fewer p-cores?

Could be cheaper than getting sued for one or more people’s deaths.

As stated too: only post a certain temp, otherwise I know there is zero chance of it.

Banning people from bringing in their own drinks is incredibly normal afaik. What no one has mentioned that I’ve seen is: What was the hydration plan of the concert organizers?

Was bringing in empty bottles and filling them inside ok?

How about providing free or inexpensive water once it got past a certain temp?

Misters? Heat relief booths? Onsite medics?

How can we have any clue whether the organizer has any blame if we know nothing about the situation, other than the fact that someone later died?!

Without this info the story is basically pointless - maybe the organizers took heroic steps and a young person got caught up in the excitement with tragic consequences. And maybe the concert provider is a borderline criminal organization who needs to be fined, or shut down, or both. Plus stricter government regulations. But no, we know nothing - thanks Reuters!

Ha, yes let’s use a limited resource (helium) to save the earth!

No, I don’t have a better idea… and maybe the improvement is worth it. After all I’ll be dead in 100-200 years when helium runs out on Earth, but climate change is already having a huge impact.
