I think that is incredibly likely to be another factor

Up-front costs are a factor but can’t be the only one. Although I’m focused on the solar over parking lot case specifically.

Just do like France and start installing over the US’ endless, endless seas of parking lots. Property owners would eventually turn profit. It saves on parking lot and car damage from sun/heat exposure. Seems like a no-brainer but no one is doing it.

There must be reasons why there aren’t at least SOME areas are doing this, since it essentially doesn’t exist. Can’t be JUST the cash layout on the panels, and US reluctance to do green energy. Is it power grid issues? Insurance problems somehow? Something else (serious replies only, no lazy “because capitalism / they are stupid / etc”)?

How were you connected from the remote connection to Jellyfin server?

Will try again. Though not having stupid simple friend sharing is still a dealbreaker for me

I’ll have to do some perf tests to see if the client seems slower than others with small io/metadata.

But that has definitely always been the weakest area of networked storage - small, transactional workloads. Latency is the killer there, and there’s always going to be higher latency than local storage (although some of the super low latency expensive rdma stuff gets pretty close).

The way to mitigate that is to do copies that are multithreaded. Unfortunately most consumer file copiers out there are terrible at this. rclone definitely will do it but is CLI. Parallel rsync is also possible from CLI and works great but need utilities. I like Carbon Copy Cloner personally which at least kicks off 2 rsyncs

Edit: Apparently freefilesync will also do parallel copies and is at least GUI and somewhat user friendly. I haven’t tried it, though. Or at least not for a super long time.

A little, we have something in common

I think it definitely makes sense and I’m not sure I’d notice if I read it. I might assume it is a localized English thing (“how are you going” in Australis, or “standing on line” in New York)

Maybe there was one added since I last checked, or I’m just dumb. Good chance of the latter.

Edit: oh, 3rd-party clients? I had tried one but they wanted a fucking subscription fee

I do a lot of remote sharing with friends and unfortunately it’s not great for that.

Also the last time I checked it out the clients kinda sucked. Not even one for Apple TV

Lots of things work better, so I am not.

I regularly get 100-200MByte/sec throughput to the Linux, Mac, and Synology SMB servers in my home

You’ll need to export each volume individually I would expect, are you saying you could only see one volume?

Ah, if it’s limited to Apple silicon maybe that’s why. Ive never noticed any particular speed problems on any of my Macs (2004 or so through 2019)

Because of the way it is, it is indistinguishable from a regular sized one
