Blampe/lidarr:latest

Just found out about this yesterday, but it works and it’s a simple replacement

Depends on the job, it’s not guaranteed nor is it legally protected (it is on paper, not in practice)

So I’m expecting a max of 5 concurrent users, but most wouldn’t need transcoding. The real hiccup (brace yourself) is a 720p CRT and (assuming I get transcoding to work well) a 480p CRT. I’m pretty novice to PC specs outside of the “buy whatever you can afford for gaming” mindset, so any suggestions there are welcome. My budget is…whatever it takes to not regret the hardware years from now. My last build was $2k for reference

That’s my goal: use the NAS as a NAS, use a computer for containers and the like. I’m using Seagate Exos for the NAS exclusively

In hindsight, I didn’t explain myself well enough. My plan is to use my current NAS as a NAS and little more; I’d like a machine with respectable hardware to handle what my NAS is currently running plus more.

My NAS has Jellyfin, arrs, all the stuff that goes with that, Pi-hole, and Homarr. And that’s pushing its limits: everything has been slow, streams freeze, I’ve had containers quit, etc.

I’d like to get into other projects like Radicale, Mealie, ErsatzTV (old PC could handle it, NAS can’t), CCTV, and more. But according to my resources, the NAS can’t handle it

GPU (for the sake of transcoding) isn’t worth it?

Good looking out, I had no idea that was an option

That’s a great question…redundant ports and all that

Thanks, that’s some of the info I’m needing to make the jump over. How’s the learning curve? One of my big concerns is wrapping all of these things under Tailscale. It was easy on Synology, but Proxmox (I imagine) isn’t as straightforward. Eventually, I’d like to switch to headscale, but one thing at a time

It’s 4 bays, and we’re eating that space up quicker than I imagined

That’s painful. I hate opening up my containers for permanent shutdown. What’s the best 1:1 alternative? I’d like to keep it as close to *arr as possible due to me being a slow learner

UCMJ says otherwise. But in practice, I can tell you from experience that the consequences for any kind of refusal will be treated as mutiny and could cost you the rest of your professional life

Preface: I don’t use Usenet

1. I’ve heard its a federated network, but you’re paying for a subscription to a specific set of servers…as far as I understand.

2. People have been migrating to Usenet for a long time on top of being a very old protocol, so probably quite a bit. Worth a quick shot, right? As I understand, rights holders try pretty often but they can’t really because the protocol breaks the data up so much that it can’t be discovered from the outside.

3. Its not a requirement, but it doesn’t hurt. Many providers bundle a VPN.

Hope that helps. I’ve never used it, but I always read posts about it and ask questions

I used to be annoyed by an old Samsung “smart” TV ('15 or '16 model). Most things didn’t work on it, yet it kept demanding my data and playing ads constantly. So I built my first pi-hole, it stopped most of the ads but broke the TV in the process. Long story short, I went down every rabbit hole I could and no solutions were found. Granted, different brand and era so maybe you’ll have better luck…but the solution for me was simply to ditch the apps altogether

What do ya know, yet another day of being happy I never invested in Plex

Every bit helps

As someone that struggles with networking, I’d love to hear what you’ve found and how

If he were blind though, Pretty Woman would have a different feel

Just turned a Win10 machine into Ubuntu not too long ago. It took all day, broke several times, and still has issues booting remotely. It is getting easier, but a 30 minute Windows install with a few button presses is still easier, unfortunately

My first thoughts were the DS’s pictochat or maybe PSP. No clue about how to use them like this, I doubt “modern” tools exist (yet). But it’s creative, interesting, and I like the needless extra steps…so I support it

I have no coding experience, but myself and my users have been desperately hoping for a smart playlist feature. Fingers crossed
