  • I hate how fragmented they are. I’ve given up on various guides out there for ‘setting up the arr stack’ because of getting bogged down in since miniature detail that, IMHO, shouldn’t even be a thing. I get that hosting seperate services has advantages. But the disadvantage of giving up on the whole thing because you have to sort out networking and file permission issues between the service that downloads video files over an hour long and the service that downloads video files under an hour outweighs those advantages.



  • You use an interesting example- personally, I feel like while files and folders have their place, I prefer they be part of the background and not presented to the user. Take photos, for example. If I’m looking for pictures of my dog, I don’t want to go into the 2022 folder, then the August folder, then look through all those files, back out into 2022 then go into the September folder, etc. I just want to type ‘dog’. Or pick from a dropdown list of common tags, or anything other than digging through files and folders.


  • I’m with you. I was pretty close to giving up on it several times, but slugged through it at first because so many people said it was so great, and then because the next book was meant to be better, and then because I was over halfway so I may as well finish it. I wish I hadn’t.

    I felt the Culture books by Iain Banks were a similar tone and style, but I found them much more enjoyable.

    Ok I’ll take this as my opportunity to rant about a pet peeve.

    Wearing a harness in this style of elevating work platform is more dangerous than not wearing one, and having a requirement to do so is part of what’s wrong with work health and safety.

    The only way someone falls out of this, beyond mechanical failure or tipping, is if they lean so far over the railing they fall out of it.

    If I need to wear a harness in this, you need to wear one whenever you walk next to a balcony.


  • The router is set as a subnet router, that is how I am able to access other machines on my lan remotely.

    I don’t want to, and sometimes can’t, install tailscale on every device I want remote access to.

    So I may have duplicate routes- Does that explain the behaviour in my original post? And how would I go about avoiding that?

    I could turn off subnet routing, and only turn it on when needed, but I’ll be putting up a bunch of other services that will want to talk to each other- I’m assuming this will break whenever I turn subnet routing on.








  • I’m interested in why you chose the i5 for the automation, rather than the video server?

    I’m no expert, but things like transcoding (or even just re-encoding) take a lot of grunt, which it seems the i5 would be good for.

    The i3 would be good for more constant, lower power tasks like automation.

    At least, that’s my thoughts, happy to be shown your reasoning…
