Oh, you’re right. Sorry, I’m an idiot

Blampe/lidarr:latest

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

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?

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

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

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

Fair enough

This is the first I’ve heard of Tailscale=/=infallible. As a long-time user, should I switch to a different setup?

Had any trouble finding obscure stuff?

I was just looking into this yesterday. I’d love to hear if it’s worth the hassle. People seem to be 50/50 on its long-term usefulness, “just use _____!”

I’m an idiot so it took me about 3 frustrating years to get all the docker containers working. Worth it every day

Oh, I see. That was a dummy question, my apologies

What are the differences between Odin and (what I’m currently using) Jellyfin from a small system admin’s perspective?

Then why not post one?

If you’re using radarr/sonarr, you can…I’d refer to the trash guides, they have instructions for specifying language/subtitle tracks.

Anecdotally, I would strongly advise against limiting your options like that. As long as you have a way to set your streaming preferences and get the audio track you need, you shouldn’t even notice the other tracks.

With that said, you can strip the unnecessary tracks out with other software (I think Handbrake can, but I’ve never done it).
