it should just be based on your system clock

what frontend/app/ui are you using? just https://lemmy.ca/ ? what place in the UI is showing incorrect timezone?

maybe reboot your device to be sure? I've seen Chrome on Android not correctly fix my timezone when I cross timezones until rebooting

Lemmy supports local-only private communities now, might be a good use case for that

we all know there's currently only 1 chick in the fediverse

OneShortEye does a lot of videos about adventure game speedruns.

After speedrunning classic PC adventure games, I realized that if anyone was going to make speedrun documentaries about our community, I couldn't wait for anyone else to do it. In the summer of 2020, I released the world record history of King's Quest, and I've been making speed docs ever since.

I currently focus on retro PC adventure games like King's Quest and Quest for Glory. As time goes on, I may branch out, but my interest is finding passionate, smaller communities.

Streaming services pretty much top out at 80Mbps

what (legal) streaming service is giving such high bitrates? I thought they were giving like 20 at most

pretty rare to see technology moving backwards

That being said, UHD BD is at around 75 mbps. So 8K would be around 300 mbps,

I don't think multiplying by 4 is correct here. Even though it's 4 times as many pixels, this is compressed video we're talking about, the limiting factor is how many details are in motion. 1080p blurays are like 40mbps, 4k blurays are only double that bitrate with 4x as many pixels and 25% more color data (SDR8 vs HDR10).

It's a better codec which helps, but 8k could use h266. Also I think 4k blurays have less artifacting than 1080p blurays, so 4k blurays seem to have a surplus of bitrate relative to their content.

I think there exist bluray drives that can support up to 144mbps, so I don't think it's much of a stretch that we could make 8k blurays that look better than 4k blurays with existing tech and the h266 codec. But making people care about even more quality is another matter, if their eyes can't see anything finer than 4k anyways. Most people can't even tell the difference between 4k on streaming services vs 4k on disc.

You could do it as a DHT network (distributed hash table)
