I wrote this game off years ago. As far as I’m concerned, even if they ever release something, it doesn’t exist.

RPG’s. Specially turn-based. But it was many years now that they started turning those into shooters “with RPG elements.” At least we got some of my favorite series, like Mass Effect, Fallout, Bioshock, etcetera, out of the deal.

About 14TB. Which reminds me, gonna need a new drive to drop in the NAS soon.

I’ve been using it for the last year or so, no issues, as long as I confirm there are no breaking changes before updating my docker container. My only real problem is that I sorely, SORELY, miss the editing features I had in Google photos. There’s been more than a couple of times now that I needed to quickly edit a photo as I would have done with Google photos, and when I couldn’t, got aggravated enough to consider switching back. Still chugging along on immich, though. Still holding out hope that one day they’ll add at least some basic editing features.

Pretty much no games, at this point. I’ve been buying up every game(worth owning, to me) on Steam sales, humble bundle, and other means. The last year or two, I’ve just been buying the new games I want at full price on steam, or waiting for sales if I don’t want it that much. The only game I still refuse to buy is The Sims 4, for that one time every other year that I want to boot into a heavily modded Sims game to play Sims Orgy Simulator 6969™. But even the other dumb hentai waifu nonsense games, I just buy on Steam (half of which are my gf’s, but she refuses to buy them on her own damn account), even though they are easily obtained at the usual locations.

I switched from Google photos to immich just recently. I’m still looking for a good solution to replace Google’s editing features. I used, and miss, those features a LOT.

I am using immich as a replacement for Google photos, which syncs my phones and tablets. I just wish it had any kind of photo editing.

I then also have Photoprism, which I use for my actual photography stuff. When I pull raws and videos from my DSLR, I dump them into a share on my NAS, mapped to a drive in Windows. They then get automatically imported into and managed by Photoprism.

Still trying to work out the best way to edit/work with the raws in Lightroom, while keeping them in Photoprism, and also up-to-date.

I also use Duplicati to do nightly encrypted backups to Google drive.

Unfortunately, that’s not an error. Apparently, the BBC insists that the 2005 Doctor Who reboot ended in 2022, and the new specials and the upcoming season, are all technically a new series. So now it has its own new entry on TMDB. It’s stupid, and I hate it, but here we are. I guess it makes some amount of sense, since the original Doctor Who and the 2005 reboot are also conaidered to be seperate series. I wonder if that means the episodes going forward are considered to be yet another reboot of the series.

The very unfortunate solution that I have decided upon, is to switch it over to using TMDB, which seems to have no trouble syncing the correct metadata. I say unfortunate, because TMDB has yet another completely different idea as to what the episode orders, numbers, and titles should be, which required renaming the files yet again. And I don’t want my library turning into a hodgepodge of metadata from multiple sources(and I’d be constantly worried that anything using tvdb was wrong, anyway), so that means I’m going to have to go in and rename/reorder/etc who knows how many files, from who knows how many series, so everything detects correctly. That, in turn, means completely removing the physical files from the library and deleting the nfo files, to ensure everything is completely removed, then doing to rename and adding them back to the library all over again. I wonder how long this is gonna take. Or how badly this is going to fuck with my trakt data.

And of course sonarr only uses tvdb, so that’s a whole thing. Yup, definitely remembering why I originally abandoned jellyfin for Plex in a hurry the first time around. Metadata issues.

I was typing up a response and it got so long I decided to just add it as an edit to my OP so it’s more easily visible to anyone else that might happen to read my post.

The top and only metadata source.

Sure, if you have family photos. Or a family that you want to have access to anything of yours. I do not. And I very specifically want to do everything in my power to prevent my so-called family from gaining access to anything of mine, digital or physical.

I want the opposite. I want all of my data to be completely inaccessible to anyone, and potentially even self-destruct somehow.

I haven’t touched or looked at anything manga-related in a while, but when I was looking at manga hosting solutions, I settled on Mango. If I remember correctly, I chose it specifically because it organizes based on the file/folder structure, including nested folders. So I can manually name and organize the files(my preference, as I never like the way any automated system does it), drop said files into the library folder, run a scan in Mango, and I’m good. Also has 3rd party plugins for downloads(a lot of which are hentai-related though, if I recall).

Pre…pare…? What’s that? Some sorta fruit?

Privacy.com card, limit $1. Deezer premium free trial with fake email, immediately lock and delete privacy card. Login to Deezer in the deemix-gui app. Proceed to download all the music you could possibly want, in lossless format, until the trial runs out. Proceed to create a new privacy card and a new Deezer premium trial with a new fake email. Problem solved.

Nothing much that I can think of. Everything works just about as well as before. If I need/want to change a cover or other image manually, the jellyfin system is kind of trash, where the Plex system works really well. But that’s a fairly minor complaint, to be fair. My only other issue is the way the unwatched episode badge works. Plex had just changed theirs on me and made it worse. And jellyfin is even more useless than that. But those are the only things I can even think to complain about.

I haven’t seen a specific way to explicitly disable transcoding, like I did on Plex. If I try to play a video in the browser, it obviously needs to transcode my hevc videos, and the CPU in my NAS gets demolished(though it does technically allow the video to play). But as long as I use a player that is capable of direct-play (so the desktop app, or the Android app), it will direct-play automatically, without transcoding. Hasn’t been a problem so far. I plan to upgrade my NAS at some point, and the new build will be more than capable of transcoding.
