qbit but its API is connected to Helmarr. I think Helmarr connects to transmission and deluge as well. iOS only.

I use Arch btw.

I’d love to try symfonium but I am on iOS.

I know there is a lot about Plex to hate, but I am always grateful for Plexamp. It requires a Plex pass, but it’s worth it for Plexamp alone imo.

What is your question?

You could also consider looking into a private tracker. It’s not 100% safe but much more safe than a public tracker. It’s also kind of fun getting into it, but hard to get invited.

Live Photos works in Immich.

One thing I really like about Apple photos is the memories that it suggests.

I use SyncThing and it works great for my use case but I think it is not the recommended option for backups.

If you are running zfs on both servers you could look at sanoid.

PIA is also a good option if port forwarding is important to you.

Yeah. I also appreciate the ability to actually fix most problems. I probably ran into fewer problems on windows, but when I did, the problems were beyond repair.

It’s a similar idea to how some RAID configurations work.

I just learned this on 2.5 Admins.

Almost all routers can handle gigabit, which is almost certainly what you want if you plan on doing local networking. A typical hard drive has speeds of about a gigabit. There is no reason to get anything slower. You can also get some gigabit switches (or even faster if you are using nvme on both machines) and connect two machines that need fast speeds between them to it. Most switches will be able to send packets to each other without going through the router.

If you really want to do some learning you could try to set up an opnsense box on an old PC and connect that to a switch. It’s feature rich and completely modular and upgradable. This is probably the best thing you could do if you want to learn something but also the worst thing to do if you want consistent uptime since you can pretty easily break stuff if you don’t read the docs.

That said, as others have mentioned openwrt on a used router is probably the best of both worlds - feature rich but less breakable.

I had so many OSX and Final Cut Pro DVD-Rs. And Adobe CS.

Nowadays I just use FOSS alternatives. Pirated software isn’t worth the risk anymore IMO.

Prairie provinces are great if you don’t mind the cold. Totally underrated.

The whole point is that it’s open source and they want people to be able to print them themselves.

I primarily use Libre Wolf but playing back hdr videos in Plex might just be easier to use Chromium than mpv.

If you have a car with a CD player, I’d recommend burning some CDs. It’s so refreshing having a small collection of banger CDs to choose from. Not to mention that you can insert and eject without being too distracted.

Yeah. It is really good at some things and bad at other things. I used to have a good sense for it but the arch install threw me off.

I find it’s good at giving regex commands from natural language and vise versa. It’s really helped me get a grip on that aspect of learning (neo)vim.

Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to get ChatGPT to walk me through the install process of putting Arch on a 2011 MacBook Air. It just wouldn’t work and the further along we got the harder it seemed and I really thought that using AI was necessary. I finally gave up and read the Arch Wiki and had it installed in under 45 minutes.
