  • I had to take prescription antibiotics+dieuretics for two months after an evening got too exciting. Taking them without food had some pretty nasty effects on my stomach, but I had to take the pills more often than I usually eat.

    Also, those stomach problems didn’t really stop afterwards either. Luckily, my symptoms were relatively mild compared to everyone else in this thread.

    For the mild stuff, yogurt also works really well. It can’t be the shitty yoplait, it has to be actual yogurt. I buy the little cup versions and have one most every breakfast, and the symptoms usually don’t follow me even when I skip them now either.

    I’ve found that I can drink one coffee, consequence free, so long as I have a yogurt to go with it.


  • That’s not how hard drives work, and doesn’t take into account that OP might want to download more than one thing at a time.

    Hard drives are fastest when they are moving large single files. SSDs are way better than hard drives at lots of small random reads/writes.Setting qbittorrent up so that all the random writes inherent to downloading a torrent go to a small ssd, and then moving that file over to the big hard drive with a single long writer operation is how you make both devices perform to their best.




















  • Both. How quickly a server can send a webpage with images (even if they’re small) is directly proportional to the storage mediums seeks times. The worse the seek times, the less ‘responsive’ a website feels. Hard drives are a terrible location to keep your metadata.

    The server scan will search for the files, look them up and grab metadata, and then store that metadata in the metadata location. If your metadata location is the same spot as your movie, it will cause some major thrashing, and will significantly increase the scan time for jellyfin. Essentially, it gets bogged down trying to read and write lots of tiny files on the same drive, the absolute worst case scenario for a hard drive to have.

    If the movies are on a hard drive, and the metadata on an ssd (or even just a different hard drive) the pipeline will be a lot less problematic.
