Yeah I didn’t realise they were rar formats from how they show up on disk - Usually people name.their.torrents.like.this so it fucks up typical file name conventions.

I’ll keep that in mind too, thanks! Not using qbitmanage yet though I’ll have to look into that 👀

EDIT: There’s a fix. https://unpackerr.zip Automatically unzips these rar containers into coherent files for importing via sonarr/radarr. I suppose you can do this manually with tar if you’re brave.

don’t.

Rsync over FTP. i use it for a weekly nextcloud backup to a hetzner storage box

Shouldnt do so that bad. my raspberry pi 4b can do jellyfin and nextcloud without pushing 15W at full load.

x86 is inefficient, especially older models, but youll likely only push anything over 10W when actually streaming something that requires transcoding. Most of the time your home server is gonna sit idle or doing some tiny cron job that won’t really blast the CPU at all.

idk what resolution you use for streaming but my raspberry pi 4B runs plex at 1080p just fine as long as it isnt using x265/AV1 (but on jellyfin you might be able to use the Pi’s GPU for transcoding).

I use nextcloud too but it’s a tiny bit slower than I’d like, but that’s likely a wifi issue i think.

Literally any PC on Amazon for $200 CAD, then add your own SSD. I’d say 8GB of RAM but that’s just for cache, youll rarely go over 4 in general use.

That, or a raspberry pi 4B/5 which runs you about $150 once you get a case, power supply, powered USB dock for sticking SSDs into (just for safety since technically the pi’s USB ports cant handle certain SSDs power reqs.) and then stick SSDs into that.

Use dietpi (dietpi.com) for setting up your services and it’ll run nice and smooth for anything not H265, which might be annoying but Plex and possibly jellyfin let you transcode stuff in the background which is nice.

I’d keep the physical library around and just digitize as and when she asks for specific stuff. You’ll probably never back up half the library. That or stick it on a HDD out of the way and transfer the few she wants, then tuck the drive in a draw forever in case she wants something else.

Jellyfin must have a feature like Plex where certain user accounts can have certain libraries attached? You could use that to avoid having to look at those crappy movies in your library.

I don’t really have much of an issue with family recommendations but I do tell them that the space isn’t unlimited so if they don’t watch something they asked for I’m likely to remove it for something we WILL watch. In your case, you could at least have leverage to get her to narrow down what needs hosting and what doesnt.

appflowy is foss, self-hostable via docker, and supports notes, tables, etc. but also kanban boards which i find useful for self management.

I’m using notion atm (the software appflowy has cloned to bring it to FOSS) as I’ve not set up docker yet :'(

Nah, there’s no performance overhead for gamemode (if anything, you should see MORE performance in gamemode as it doesnt do complex window compositing)

But you do get stuff like drag-n-drop for files, virtual desktops, multi screen support, and other desktop features. Otherwise there’s no technical benefit, just workflow ones.

I wonder if Valve will try and stick the same cadence of mainstream consoles to try and piggyback off that industry recognition

Yall can hope! Do people import ones from Asia?

I like Dietpi. It’s just a few homelab scripts on top of a stripped down debian ISO designed to reduce resource usage for homelabs while giving some utilities for installing popular homelab software by wrapping common projects around its own “software repo” (custom scripts for installing and configuring projects so they’re a lot easier to get running than normal).

I run mine from a raspberry pi 4b but you can use x86 or other SBCs if you like.

Seeing all the hetzner mentions made me finally look into it and

1. yep, they seem to be cheaper than alternatives without getting into shady territory and

2. pretty easy to set up! I finally have an offsite backup of my home server and it only took me like an hour to do

I’ll see if i can get a refund. Made the poor decision to re-buy the game on Steam after owning it on Origin (a lot easier to store it on an external drive on steamdeck)

Kinda evident to how badly Battlefield 2048 is going that they’re still even bothering to update BFV.

Nintendo knows this, but it was an easy $2.3 million and now Yuzu development is essentially halted for the time being, meaning slower progress with switch updates, releases, and new hardware (eg switch 2).

Any victory for the FOSS/emulation community is a pyrrhic one.

No idea!

Going from publicly-available info though:

Rpi4B - 6.4W max (more like 5 in real world usage)

Cpu case fan - 1.4W

2x SSD - ~6W each

13.8 to ~18 depending on what the SSDs are pulling i guess. I use it as an *arr seedbox and plex server (up to 1080p h264 works flawlessly!) as well as nextcloud

Oh my apologies, my pi doesnt handle it well on plex. Didnt realise it at the time and sorta just went with what was easiest to set up before realising I’d need to pay to get transcoding 😔

My raspberry pi doesnt transcode h265 very well at all. Much easier to expand the storage until I can upgrade to something better
