I had a friend say (nearly 25 years ago) that homelessness is a necessity of capitalism. There will always be a portion of the population kept in that position so the rest of us wage slaves have something to motivate us to keep eating shit from our ruling class.
If we were shown a path to safety and security without sacrificing our bodies and minds to a paycheck, we just might rebel.
The question is, does the responsibility fall on you to choose games that fit your skill level or the developer to compromise their vision to accomodate a broader audience? Would we take the same stance with other art? I find a lot of Foreign Arthouse Films to be slow paced and unenjoyable. Should the writers and directors be required to make an alternate cut to accomodate my preferences?
I may see how easy that is to set up. I noted above though, I’ve been learning the *arr stack piece by piece. And it never seems to quite work the way that I’m expecting it to so doing local recodes ends up being a more viable solution for me since I have a shit ton of processing power and limited time to read through things like trashes guide. Thank you for the suggestion though. Maybe if I get some time in the coming month to dig into my settings I’ll give that a shot. It would be cool to automate the recovery process that way.
Cheers.
I have a full mirror. If both arrays fail, I figure I have bigger problems and redownlod would be low on the list.
I’m not sure redownloading would save any time.
I’d imagine there’s a way to set that up with the *arrs but my personal path of less resistance is to just recode what I got rather than figure a process to redownlod out. There’s is more resources than time at my disposal currently.
I keep everything in a 10u rack in my garage so it doesn’t bother us much. That said, when it was in my office being configured, it was quieter than my desktop running a 5900x and 3080.
By design, NUC’s are super quiet and the jbods I’m using are cooled with 2 140mm fans running at about 50% most of the time.
Worth noting, I’ve been a metal fan and musician most of my life so my sensitivity isn’t very high compared to a lot of others.
Awesome. Thanks for the info. I have been running Plex for years and started the switch to Jellyfin last year. Have a container running Emby but haven’t put any work in to configuring or much yet.
Same situation with Tdarr. Threw together a quick container and got caught up in a billion other projects. I have an old 3600x / 1080ti system I’ll likely use as a transcoding node. Just need to go over the docs and figure out how to setup input / output paths.
Overall it’s (currently) a couple jbods plugged in to a NUC. Total draw is at 81W currently. That’s based off of a quick remote check on my UPS.
That’s a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro, Modem, Ubiquiti U7 Pro, 2 - 6 disc jbods running Seagate exos 20tb, and the NUC.
There’s a secondary drive array but it only powers on once a week for a few hours to run backups/differentials. Even under that load I don’t really spike above 100W.
Compared to the draw my old full rack with a couple loaded up r210’s has, this is incredibly efficient.
The majority of my stack as well as vehicles run off renewables / solar. So it’s hard to tell. May seem like some massive library but it has been accumulated over 25 or so years and is composed of a shit ton of physical rips from a pretty extensive library of everything from VHS and vinyl to uhd…
What’s your process for recoding? I’m nearing 120tb used space and would like to re-encode some of the stuff my *arr stack grabbed before I got my profiles tuned in.
Are we married to the same person?
Lol…is that some kind of threat?
Nazi bullshit isn’t free speech. That’s a trash argument. You need to look inside and find what part of you is broken if you think otherwise. Fuck Nazi anything. They don’t have a right to free speech. They lost that when they became Nazi’s.
It’s crazy how they fucked themselves out of revenue streams so completely. Within 6 months of canceling all our streaming services, I was able to pick up 4x16tb HDD’s for a JBOD connected to a NUC for about the same cost (likely less all said).
A lot of us that grew up sailing the seas became stable enough to afford the media we wanted and docked our ships. Now, I’m back on my favorite newsgroups like it was 2001.
There’s that quote from GabeN, I won’t repost it, but it’s true. There’s a serious service problem and the greed isn’t helping. Now I’ve got a multi terabyte NAS and backup with a streaming services and a Steam account I’ll never make through the backlog of.
All that said, when possible, I still by the stuff I like on physical, but even that is getting harder and harder anymore.
The biggest mistakes these shareholder appeasing cock puppets are making is thinking we don’t have a choice anymore. We do and they are greater than they’ve ever been.
This looks fantastic! Thanks for the recommendation.
I unfortunately don’t have MAX anymore after they dropped Westworld (and all the other crazy shit that happened around a year or so ago) so I may also have to borrow a copy from my friend the internet…
Edit: Looks like my son already put in a Requestarr for it and it’s in Sonarr. The *arr stack really has changed the game after I was out of the scene for 10 or so years.
When companies deny us avenues to watch / purchase their products wtf do they expect to happen?
Ended up being a hoax. The crew is still around and we occasionally get together to golf or drink at tailgaters when it’s football season. Time and children have taken their toll on the LAN’s and other drunken tomfoolery of those days. That’s always the thing about the “good times” they just seem like life when we’re in it.
Goddammit Ted.
Actually checking on Steam that appears to be a pretty accurate statement. My man’s got a hell of a library built up.
Absolutely! It was a pretty fun moment in my early years in this industry. Now, after 10 or so years working from home, I almost get nostalgic for an office.
is this on their git or fdroid by chance?
