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.

TLDR you might be interested in the rust-based scheduler one of the Canonical Devs released as a PoC. Seemed to be designed similar to your needs of keeping the system (particularly games) responsive even whilst running heavy tasks like kernel compilations. You can swap out schedulers at run time on Linux iirc?

don’t.

Not if you call it GNU/Linux 🤓☝️

These morons are insufferable because they don’t believe anything exists outside the frame of the photo. they have worse object permanence to babies

Only advice: Don’t install on the same hard drive.

I dont care how many people say “oh it works for me” it works for everyone until it doesnt, and then you spend days fucking about with utilities that you shouldnt be fucking with, and at best it works until it stops working again.

There’s likely little risk that any attack goes after a potential linux partition, but there’s much more risk that either your linux or Windows partition bricks the other.

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.

plasma 6 plz 🥹 maybe one day

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.

I thought legitimate interest meant you were legitimately interested in giving up your data to those vendors???

true but sometimes a news article or some service will link to a tweet and i have to use the godawful website client

Im fine with the name change here, but also agree that MineTest is a bit of a lame name for what is pretty much a game engine.

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 have a mastodon and honestly, it’s hardly a replacement. different instances are far too isolated even when federating together. Finding user accounts is difficult, and basic stuff like seeing content on another instance is needlessly kneecapped compared to other ActivityPub stuff like Lemmy.

Yup. they “decentralised” servers for hosting profile info but it’s still totally centralised for receiving and sending posts.
