Q The Misanthrope

I kind of am, but radarr has an editions field which it uses for the file and that seems to be incomplete or inconsistent for my files. It wasn’t a problem before but changing so many at once requires good data first.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve used Plex for so long with manual file name and folder changes so it covered up my issue and now I’m correcting it.

I still have to update the jellyfin title manually though. Jellyfins versions only work with multiple versions of the same file, not if you only have one version in the library that I want labeled as a special edition or something.

I understand. I have converted fully to JF which required people to get onn players, and tunnel into my network and it was a lot of work on my end too.

Do what works for you and them.

Congrats. I’m super particular about covers and naming and the conversion of file names that Plex needed to jellyfin is intensive.

I finally got got JF up and running but still working on adding edition names to each item that is special. I really wish there was an editions field so it wasn’t a manual title update. At least I can lock the field afterwards.

The onn boxes run android so it’s just installed as an app from play store. The users connect with their own tailscale account. My server is shared so they see it. Then they install jellyfin on the device, punch in the hostname of the server given by tailscale and the port and then it connects.

I could not get my reverse proxy to let them use my local domain… I’m not smart enough and couldn’t figure it out but they are only using jellyfin so typing one address was fine.

This is also what I do, however, each user creates their own tailnet, not an account on mine and I share the server to them.

This way I keep my 3 free users for me, and other people still get to see jellyfin.

Tailscale and jellyfin in docker, add server to tailnet and share it out to your users emails. They have to install tailscale client in a device, login, then connect to your jellyfin. My users use Walmart Onn $30 streaming boxes. They work great.

I struggled for a few weeks to get it all working, there’s a million people saying “I use this” but never “this is how to do it”. YouTube is useless because it’s filled with “jellyfin vs Plex SHOWDOWN DEATH FIGHT DE GOOGLE UR TOILET”.

I love Truenas so much. I’m growing into its capabilities every day.

I bought an IT Mode flashed hba on eBay for like $40. Fanless, and easy. Make sure it comes with the cables or buy those separately but don’t forget them.

I still have this file and checked it out about a month ago. I skipped around and it still fascinates me getting that look behind the curtain of how it’s made.

I’ve had two failed harddrives in the last month. Not sure if bad batch or what. Thankfully the order these were on only were the two drives so may not see more. They are under warranty but it’s still a pain!

Otherwise I’m enjoying Mealie lately for my recipes. Kinda nice having them all in one place but accessible by anyone in the house.

It wasn’t even a good revenge story. It felt like no one was important and honestly I haven’t seen it since release and can’t remember much else.

That being said, I’ll probably watch the second one and see how many bee puns they can fit in it.

My server is exactly as I need. Basically 1 year old now. This year I really want to do vlans to control the network more than an off the shelf router. I work in tech and still am struggling because all I know is meraki bullshit and that’s not priced for the typical home user.

I’ll need a few AP’s and a switch and firewall. I don’t know what to get or what to buy and each research session ends with more options than I started with. Anyway that’s my goal. I’ll get there eventually.

Low heat alone will help a ton like you said, high heat seems to ruin everything and it’s just not needed unless unless it’s towels maybe.

I knew that fabric softener would stop towel absorption but I never thought about dryer sheets too. I thought those were just antistatic.

Also the “deli sites” typo made me laugh.

This is an incredible write up and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

I’ve used both platforms, and had fun with both. I barely use either for posting though, and more for trying to follow topics I like, as I do on Lemmy.

Anything to stop ending my Google searches in “reddit”.

They are sata drives.

Seagate Exos X16. 6 of them refurb is still $800.

The case is hot swap with just an hba connection so I can let zfs do it’s thing.

I was limited by the processor and some existing ram which basically dictated my purchases to save money.

You’re completely right though, a more modern system would be similar in price and more capable.

I blew my budget on drives and a hot swap case. The rest is easy to upgrade when the time comes.

I purchased a case, SilverStone Technology CS382 8-Bay. Around $200-225.

Bought used parts off eBay:

Asus P8Z77-M LGA 1155 DDR3 SDRAM Desktop Motherboard $75

32GB DDR3 1333 $35

LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA 9200-81 IT Mode P20 $35

Nvidia Quadro P620 2GB GDDR5 4x mini DisplayPort $70

I have six 12tb drives (seagate exos), purchased refurb from serverpartdeals.com and had great luck with them and their support. I found that on Reddit data hoarder sub.

I run Truenas. 4 drives for primary. 2 drives for backup of the first 4. And I have a qnap 4 bay dumb raid box for a third backup with old drives I had. My paranoia but not related really to the nas.

Anyway it’s possible and I enjoy what I built. Also that case is loud, get a fan controller too.

I know all the reasons I should be on Firefox, but I just love Vivaldi so much.

I’ve been using it for years and have it tuned perfectly for anything I do. It’s feature rich, and fast.

Occasionally there are apps or even tools in life where you are like holy shit, this is exactly made for how I want to do a task/job.

My gestures are so ingrained in me, sometimes I catch my hand moving the mouse to perform an action in another unrelated app. My brain notices instantly but can’t stop my hand from trying to do it anyway. It makes me laugh.

Pixelfed is federated and the app is pretty good. It’s an Instagram alternative. May be nice to have a designated spot for all your work.

At least for me, if I see something I like, I dig deeper to see what else they have.

Regardless of how you post now or in the future, thanks for sharing.

Where can I find more of your work? I checked your post history and could find no other social media or websites.

No one wants to be on the losing side. Not that this election is a sure thing, but people shift with the wind and then tell themselves they “called” it.
