IIRC MPV can be configured to play HDR video as SDR, and you set the .conf things like quality and standard to what you want.

I’d be down, anything to relive those first play throughs of SEX with HITLER, SEX with HITLER 2, SEX with HITLER: 2069, and SEX with HITLER: WW2.

Unraid + Unifi network equipment. Everything is scheduled and automatic, with the exception of large Unraid updates, but those are only every ~6 months. Every night mover from cache SSD - > HDD array, then checks for plugin updates, then docker container updates, if Monday morning SSD trim, and if 1st of the month does an array parity check/repair.

After all that if it’s Monday morning, Unifi will check for firmware then software updates.

Sometimes a docker container will get a breaking update maybe once a year, and then I just go look @ documentation and see what needs to be changed to the config to fix.

Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC is hands down the best! A nearly naked fresh Windows install. Just Defender and Edge. And even then, a lot of the performance impacting Defender options are unavailable due to the W11 version.

It’s still my go to for gaming. Once it’s all set up, it just stays out of the way, and runs as lean as modern Windows can.

I highly, highly recommend adding StartAllBack on top of it. Makes the bottom toolbar much, much better.

I always use a single copy/paste Winget command to install nearly everything in one go, without needing any interaction for each install. Also allows updating installed programs with a single command.

Massgrave.dev for ISO’s and activation.

Edit: For some features, you have to be comfortable using Powershell as admin. I myself have to Powershell install 2 AppX packages before I can use Winget. If you go with this version feel free to message me for help.

All my friends remember when by about +/-3 days. Every year I invite everyone to meet for food and drinks one night.
