Her first point stands wrt SpaceX. Turning this into a discussion about her experience on the topic makes her point even more valid. Last time I checked people didn't need to be a nobel laurate in a field to make a valid point.

I use Tiny media manager to get tv show episode and movie info like fan art, actors and show synopsis and organize my movies, shows, music and audiobooks I get from CDs, DVDs, Blu Rays and downloads. Sonarr and Radarr only snatch files from torrents, and not the rest of the info that is needed for offline mode

Thanks for this. I was looking to get away from iplant and Google lens.

For me docker runs my software in independent containers like jellyfin. For me it helps with migrating the software to different computers, operating systems and os upgrades without completely having to reconfigure the software each time.

Not sure about the fuck docker comment. I'm always open to alternatives, not everyone has the same software needs.

I've been debating on trying out offense instead of OpenWrt. My server has a dual NIC with one interface going to my modem the other to a wireless access point. Openwrt is a bit clunky as I have to boot it in Virtual box. Any difference between PFsense and opensense?

I always get hungry when I play pixel dungeon! What an addictive grind!

Adding the following that i have not seen mentioned yet:

Docker - I literally run most of my server programs with docker now. Home Assistant, Jellyfin, and many others.

Tiny Media Manager that I use to scraper and organize my media library

Tiny Tiny RSS to combine my news sites into one aggregator. I actually saw this post on it since Lemmy has RSS feeds!

Openwrt I run as my home router.

I2P but it's still pretty clunky.

Nomachine I use as a remote desktop client.

RocketDock I still use on my windows desktop after windows removed the programs toolbar.

ImageJ/Fiji I use for image processing, it's from the NIH, with a bunch of Java plugins.

Gluetun I use to run my vpn client

Kodi for multimedia

Syncthing is awesome for home devices backups like phone pictures and videos and computer documents that can be version controlled. I also use Local Send app to share files between phones and computers in the house.

Jellyfin is awesome, I also use it to serve my music and audio books. It's a bit more quirky than plex but I like that it's not tied to some company server in any way.

Home Assistant is awesome! It's the only way to control your house without giving out all your data to Amazon, Google or apple.

Good. Guy had the evidence of his massage parlor escapades destroyed by claiming that someone else who is innocent on these tapes may have their reputation harmed. He should be in the scumbag billionare who is above the law Hall of Fame instead.

While I get the sentiment about Watson, I think this is a result of bad ownership and management by the Browns organization. It's similar to the Jets situation, the Raiders situation, and the Lions situation prior to 2021.

 

Really good first person insight into how hard it is to make it on an NFL team while having to train during COVID year, getting cut from multiple teams, going on IR multiple times.

 

Good to see Detroit becoming a free agent destination again!

 

I have never heard the story Sun God told about Dan Campbell's fake tooth falling out multiple times in a meeting and him just picking it back up like he dropped his keys! Great interview and banter overall.

 

Goff is hilarious in this episode! Great production again by the Lions media team!

Lindstrom and a 4th round pick. Pens retain $1.3 million, Canadiens and Red Wings pay $2.3 million each. Contract has 2 remaining years. Seems like a relatively even trade of a veteran presence for a young defensman.

There is a good article from Max Bultman regarding several red Wings Prospects. It sounds like Pellikka still has a way to go but Johannson may be closer to pushing for a roster spot. I'm also trying to crosspost this into the NHL community since it seems to be pretty quiet in team communities during the summer.

 

On !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl I am unable to click on the links provided there with sync. Link just shows as a different blue color. Links work with Jeroba etc. Is anyone else having similar issues?

 

I'm looking at different options for getting a NAS/RAID array system that is tolerant to not just hard drive failures but also to hardware/firmware and board failures. I've utilized a RAID array in the past that was built into the motherboard, which resulted in the motherboard failing and me having to ebay another one to get the RAID array back up and running. Then I bought a NAS 2 bay drive that was only compatible with drives up to 1.5TB. I've also used external drives for backup since I've been burned by hardware/firmware/software issues related to RAID arrays. Are there are any PCI RAID cards, NAS boxes or software RAID or other options where the hard drives would still be readable by other RAID cards if the boards failed? Maybe a software RAID solution? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

I have been using Jellyfin on Android and Windows viewing DVD movies that were converted with Handbrake into M4V files in H.265 format. The foreign subtitles and closed captions have always been embedded and passed through by handbrake, and I've never had any issues playing the subtitles over th years with VLC/KODI/Plex etc. Even On Windows or android Jellyfin clients I've had no issues. My parents only use Roku however, and the only way I've been able to get the subtitles working for them is by creating a separate .srt file in the folder that has the video. I've tried .ass files using subtitle edit program without success. Do I need to reencode all my movies with subtitles and extract them as srt files for them to work on Roku? Or is there a better way to to get them working on Jellyfin Roku? Also, is there a format other than srt that is compatible with Jellyfin Roku?
