i am trying to figure out the best way to prevent Jellyfin from bogarting the CPU when i am playing a game
i was thinking to increase its niceness but that could reduce streaming performance too, even when no game is playing
so it would need to be dynamic, detecting like full screen applications?

terms of venery and specialty connecting nouns are the most fun and ridiculous part of English grammar
completely unnecessary and serving no practical use
but everyone smiles when first sharing "a *parliament* of owls" with someone
and "a *murder* of crows" is so much more evocative than "flock"

The funniest part about this line of thinking is later Clive Barker revealed just how homophobic his publisher was, and I think about the number of times this has happened that we will never hear about. www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/clive-b...

THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR BILLIONAIRES AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.
