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 thought it was a good film as well. Not sure why it had all the bad press. There are many many terrible movies all the time and I believe it was unfair to this specific one which is telling an enormous story. If the second and third part form a cohesive story, I think this would be a good rainy Saturday film fest epic.

It’s not perfect, I’m not here to defend it with specifics, but I did enjoy it.

Ford v Ferrari, and I really enjoyed it. It had the right amount of corporate backstabbing being out smarted by the main character. Not a feel good flick but it had a lot of good racing scenes and it was exciting.

Also watched the last 30 minutes of The Revenant which I had started but not finished… that movie is brutal. And as my second watch-through, I’m still not entirely sure what the take away thoughts are. It’s just survival and people are awful to each other. I’m not sure there’s a lesson or reward at the end. Maybe I missed the whole point.

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.

A lot of valid reasons for the price to be high but that’s still a lot of money. $80 for a game hurts. It went from a must buy early this year when I heard about it to ehh… Maybe I’ll see what happens first.

They’ve been in the news daily with issues, Financial and otherwise. The sudden rush of people now just slows it all down.

I am glad I signed up yeas ago though, it was a hopeful time when I assumed technology would help fix us, and give us answers, and help me know things no humans before us could know.

Half the crap I downloaded from them is meaningless. Family tree is proprietary, and everything else is in formats I don’t know what to do with. Not like I’ll upload it again but it’s just files I have with no purpose now.

I want to switch to jellyfin, I selfhost but I don’t want to open a port directly to my server. I don’t understand how everyone else figures this out and I’m apparently an idiot.

Also do people expect all who use my server to start a VPN each time? What if they leave it on and their other streaming services are using my bandwidth.

I don’t understand and I have looked it up but I don’t see a consensus.

They just put out a huge update for the shield. Mine still plays the vast majority of things perfectly, even hevc and 4k content. I am perfectly happy with my shield pro. I’d buy one again if the current one shits the bed.

What are my other options? Apple TV and what else? Everything else is ad ridden underpowered and lacking licenses to play media.

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.

Honestly it’s a movie about stuff and occasionally has some star trek sounds and maybe some music once in a while.

It has very little that makes it star trek in any sense.

The equivalent is Ford 150 branded deodorant stick. It’s technically labeled as if it has something to do with Ford trucks, but it’s deodorant for your arm pits.

Add all the other issues with the movie on top of this starting point.

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.

DON’T DATE ROBOTS!

I’m not a fan of campy, I love the gritty haunted bond we had with Craig.

Austin powers is fun but it’s not interesting (to me).

I grew up starting with GoldenEye which was a strange movie, a little corniness but serious stuff too. I enjoyed the transition to a more serious bond from Brosnans.

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 don’t see “screwed the pooch” used much but it always is funny to me.
