Recently switched to ucore. While I cannot for the life of me get SELinux to let my containers run without Permissive mode (my server was previously Endeavour OS and either didn’t have it or I disabled it long ago), I’ve otherwise had great success.

The config is a single yaml file that gets converted into a json file for Ignition, which sets everything up on first boot. It’s an OCI-based immutable distro with automatic updating, so I can mostly just leave it to its own devices and everything has been smooth for the first week I’ve been using it.

My Docker root directory is on a separate drive with plenty of space, so setting up involves directing Docker to that new root directory and basically being done (which my Ignition config handles for me).

Without reading the article, my guess would be a Christmas/birthday gift to them.

Windows 10 is still getting security updates if you enrolled for extended security updates, which I believe my Windows machine prompted me to do (though it’s possible I only saw it when I went into update settings to manually update, rather than a desktop notification).

okay lmao

As a Pixel 6 Pro user who occasionally has to interact with the Samsung devices my parents use, holy moly I don’t know how anybody puts up with this. We’re talking fullscreen advertisement lockscreen bloatware that can be disabled but not uninstalled, added to the phone out of nowhere with a recent update. The worst android keyboard I’ve ever used in my life. A UI and all of Samsung’s versions of existing apps that I’m constantly fighting just to use the phone. It’s ridiculous. I genuinely don’t know how anyone can run a Samsung device without installing a custom ROM or something it’s actually insane.

I use a plugin for Jellyfin (which I believe is available by default you just have to click the install option on the plugins page in your Dashboard) and manually download subtitles through the subtitles menu for an item if what I download doesn’t include them.

What in the fuck is this guy talking about? Me when I’m addicted to social media but refuse to turn off notifications or curate my experience. The beginning of that second paragraph is a strange concoction of words that doesn’t actually communicate anything. I skimmed through the article and it devolves into a rant about a play the author didn’t enjoy and other stray ramblings like this:

Less is considered more. Being “tacky” is seen as the greatest imaginable sin. Odd, considering who’s the president of the United States and what he’s done to the White House, but maybe that’s the origin of all this cold minimalism.

This entire article feels like a paper you didn’t start until the night it was due and only remembered about after you took a weed gummy.

It supports more codecs and I believe can store more tracks compared to MP4. Whenever I download a high quality movie or tv show, especially if it has multiple audio tracks and subtitles to choose from, it is always packaged in .mkv

Jellyfin natively supports playlists. Symphonium also supports playlists, both local and from your Jellyfin server.

Okay 👍

That sounds about right. I don’t use it very actively but I do have it set up. I might set this up as well to have them side by side.

I prefer sqtracker’s UI, but I’m glad to have other options to choose from (and memory safety with Rust is a pretty neat bonus)!

My server pc is just my old computer parts. Ryzen 3 2200G with with 6Gb of RAM. It gets the job done!

I use Docker for my setup and mistakenly had my qBittorrent download folder and my *arr media folders mounted as /downloads and /movies as opposed to /arr/downloads and /arr/movies

The *arr programs running inside their containers don’t know that the two folders are actually on the same drive because it sees them as two separate mount points. Once I changed my *arr containers to mount my directories correctly, the hard linking worked as expected instead of copying files over. I then ran fclones and recovered over 700 GB of storage from deduplication.

Might I introduce you to the wonderful language known as Nim? Python-like syntax, compiles to C, C++, and even JS, has mature libraries and good tooling, and some memory safety features built in! And yes, you can use pointers!

They didn’t include https so the link doesn’t know what protocol it’s meant to open with

They could create a new flag for Abandoned Early Access games. If an Early Access game hasn’t been updated in a long time, that could trigger an automatic email to the publisher saying “Hey your game hasn’t been updated in a long time and could be changed from Early Access to Abandoned Early Access. Consider updating the game or store page to keep Early Access status. If you would like to switch to Abandoned Early Access, you can ignore this message and it will automatically update in two weeks or you can manually change the status on your game’s Steam page.” Wouldn’t really need more employees to handle this unless the current employees are all too busy to implement something like it.

I swear there was at least one more server I looked at but passed over and I cannot recall the name.

Maybe Jellyfin? It’s best at movies/shows but it also handles music (and more). The native music experience isn’t great but it works. For Windows/Linux/Mac you can use Feishin (I use and mostly recommend it, also you can use the web app version). Android has Symfonium I use and highly recommend it, also it works with FAR more than just Jellyfin). I don’t use iOS but I just looked for an iOS app and found AmpFin (not to be confused with Finamp).

You said your users have their own libraries. Jellyfin works great with this. Out each in its own folder, create a new library for each in Jellyfin (pointing to each folder), and you can choose which accounts can see which libraries (and optionally let them manage libraries too so they can delete songs or modify metadata for the libraries they have access to).

I’m a fan of Jellyfin if you couldn’t tell…

I use Watchtower and haven’t had any major issues in the two(?) years I’ve been using it. Make sure you use persistent volumes for your containers and make sure you back up those volumes. If anything breaks, you can roll back to before the update.

If you don’t use persistent volumes, you’ll lose data when Watchtower takes down the image and replaces it with the newer one (which doesn’t copy over ephemeral volumes).

I also recommend for database containers to use an image tag that won’t update with breaking changes. Don’t use postgres:latest, use postgres:15.2 or something like that (whatever the image you’re using the database for recommends).
