Haha, dinosaur movies go brrrrrrrr.

For Jurassic Parks, I watch every single one. They’re usually fun enough to turn off your brain and watch tense and thrilling dino carnage. I never watch any with unreasonably high expectations.

I enjoy the original so much I’ve seen it with a full symphony playing the sound track live and in sync, with the projector screen above them.

Heavily second this.

Don’t get too crazy into categorizing your media. Keep it simple with your folders, so Jellyfin can know what the file is then scrape the internet for meta-data.

Media -> Movies -> Example Movie (year) -> Example.movie.file

Media -> Shows -> Example Show (year) -> Season 1 -> Example.show.S01E01.file

Ideally your media downloads will have the name and release year in the folder name already. It knows to ignore or match things like x264, DD.5.1, and release group name.

Ohhh, I think I understand now, they can’t connect to jellyfin because that computer has the VPN on. I thought their question was turning on a VPN to connect to Jellyfin outside their house.

Then yea split tunneling would be a good solution. Set up so only the torrent application uses the VPN. Or that Jellyfin is excluded from the tunnel.

Unfortunately I’m not too up to date on VPNs and which offer that. Perhaps their network equipment could apply the VPN to only the torrent traffic, and then they match the port number used inside the torrent application’s settings?

I think I understand your question. The VPN should let you connect in the exact same method you use when you’re on the same network. Example: connecting to http://192.168.X.X:8096 when local, is exactly how you would with the VPN on.

I’m hoping his soul refuses to rest until The Search for More Money is completed!

He’s 99 end of this month 😲.

Unraid is the GOAT for self hosting. An excellent way to learn VMs, Docker, and Linux in general. They have an “app store,” which is community templates for Docker containers, and have all the *arr programs you could want. Drive management is super easy, too.

It’s designed to scale. Plus it’s nifty to be able to add ~3 tags to a docker container and then it’s instantly online and ready to be used.

Think of it as more modular.

I personally used Traefik, but only because I’m a masochist and it would be useful to know in IT workplace.

Traefik + CrowdSec + CowdSec Traefik Bouncer.

Traefik handles the traffic, and said traffic has to get a green light from CrowdSec + Bouncer before it can go anywhere.

The concept of CrowdSec is honestly super awesome.

Reverse proxy with CrowdSec, which has setups specifically for Jellyfin. Docker for everything.

Ubuntu 6.06 I always come back to Arch now-a-days.

Do Bazzite. It will be unbeatable for just working and ease of use.

Stay away from Manjaro for anything.

SteamOS that Valve offers is not the same as what’s on the Steam Deck. It’s extremely dated and is what it used to be. A real distro from Valve has yet to be released.

The best way to install WoW is using Lutris, which also comes with Bazzite. You search for and install Battle.net, then you can install WoW normally. Lutris can also add a WoW shortcut once WoW is installed, too.

You can also just copy and paste the WoW folder from your Windows Program Files folder. It keeps all your settings and addons.

For addons use Wowup-curse. It’s a open source addon manager that is just straight up better than all others.

Currently, WoW needs Proton-GE to work. Using wine-staging, or the dated wine-ge, and Battle.net will have problems starting. It’s something weird with authentication and connecting online. Proton-GE contains a patch specifically for this.

The easiest way to get Proton-GE is using Protonup-Qt if using KDE plasma, or Proton Plus if you’re using Gnome. For Protonup-QT, you select Steam, then install Proton-GE for Steam. Lutris will also be able to use it.

Just general advice, I’d use the latest Proton-GE as the default for all Steam games.

In Lutris set the runner for Battle.net to Proton-GE.

Source: I’ve tried all but Drauger OS, and currently play retail WoW.

Its anticheat is proper server sided.

So this is why multi monitor support has been a never ending hot mess?!

I sincerely hope LoL never shuts down, because then all those players will have to go to some other game.

Thats crazy you experience this. I have like 1500 hours in SoT, and it’s Rare (pun intended) to even hear other crews use voice chat. I can’t remember the last time someone was toxic. My only gripe is their servers suck sooooooooo much ass, I legit don’t think they have a single employee that knows how fix it.

Do you do open crew?

Get Unraid for your server OS. Its nuts how good it is at being beginner friendly, while being robust when needed. It has a docker app “store”, as well as plugins, and a virtual machine manager as well. It also has a very, very nice Web GUI: you manage the server from another PC you use in your house.

I can not overstate how much I learned by starting with Unraid.
